OHMYGOSSIP — Lana Del Rey has cancelled her performance in Israel.
The ‘Summertime Sadness’ hitmaker was due to perform at Israel’s Meteor Festival on September 7, her first performance in the country, but she is “postponing” her appearance.
She wrote on social media: “It’s important to me to perform in both Palestine and Israel and treat all my fans equally … therefore, I’m postponing my appearance at the Meteor Festival.”
A statement, originally in Hebrew, posted on the show’s website reads: “Just got the word that Lana will be a no-show at Meteor. We do appreciate her for choosing meteor to help her score some press attention. With that, Meteor will take place with the same badass mix of local and international talent that we’ve been working with this past year.
“The mission that we’ve all been on together is reaching the finish line in just a matter of days as planned: A pioneering, independent festival in the Upper Galilee of a magnitude and quality that has yet to be seen in the Middle East.”
Lana previously defended her decision to perform in Israel.
In a statement posted to her Twitter account, Lana wrote: “I understand many of u are upset that we’re going to Tel Aviv for the Meteor festival…what I can tell you is I believe music is universal and should be used to bring us together. I would like to remind you that performing in Tel Aviv is not a political statement or a commitment to the politics there just as singing here in California doesn’t mean my views are in alignment w my current governments opinions or sometimes inhuman actions.
“If you don’t agree with it I get it. I see both sides. But me and my band have been performing all over the world for months out of the years for close to 10 years now together. And we’re about to travel to a place that many big bands are playing this year and at this festival. We don’t always agree with the politics of the places we play within or even in our own country- sometimes we don’t even feel safe, depending on how far abroad we travel- but we are musicians and we’ve dedicated our lives to being on the road.(sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Bradley Cooper “fell in love” with Lady Gaga’s “face and eyes”.
The 43-year-old actor was thrilled to work alongside the ‘Pokerface’ hitmaker for ‘A Star Is Born’ and the pair connected instantly.
Speaking to the singer, he said: “I didn’t know you were Italian. I remember when we first met, after 10 minutes we were eating homemade food that she cooked – I love to eat – and that was actually a huge bond that we both came from East Coast Italian-American families. So we had a real synchronicity on that level from our upbringing … I fell in love with her face and eyes.”
And the 32-year-old star really related to the movie’s plot, which sees a failed singer coaxed back into the spotlight by a man she falls for.
Talking about the movie, she added: “It’s a story about love and about what Bradley refers to as the human plight of addiction. It was a remarkable experience for me. When I started out in the music industry and decided to be a singer and go for a processional career I was 19 years and I hit the ground running. I was dragging my piano from dive bar to dive bar to get jobs so that I could sing and perform for people … when I started out, I was not the most beautiful girl in the room. [Producers] wanted to take my songs and give it to other singers but I held on to them. They made suggestions about how I should look … but I didn’t want to be viewed like other women, be sexy like other women. I wanted to have my own vision.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas enjoyed a whistle stop historical tour of Guadalajara.
The newly-engaged jet setting couple took in the sights of the Mexican city in less than 24 hours, having travelled from Cabo San Lucas earlier that day. The pair were seen enjoying a meal together in the popular resort city, staying at the oceanfront hotel One and Only Palmill, before jumping on a plane and heading to the Acre Baja to see the agave fields.
A source said: “They held hands as they walked the property and asked lots of questions. They ate a long leisurely lunch at Flora Farms where they learned about the local produce and farm to table cuisine. They were smiling and laughing with the staff and seemed excited to learn.”
The happy couple then headed off to Guadalajara in a private jet.
The insider added to E! News: “They were in and out very quickly but enjoyed their time.”
Nick and Priyanka recently confirmed their engagement with sweet matching posts on Instagram.
Nick captioned the image: “Future Mrs. Jonas. My heart. My love … Prayer, family and loved ones as the foundation to this new chapter (sic)”
Whilst Priyanka wrote: “Taken.. With all my heart and soul … The only way to do this… with Family and God. Thank you all for your wishes and blessings (sic)”
The couple then jetted off to Mumbai to celebrate their engagement with their friends and family.
During their time in India, they visited St. Catherine’s orphanage, where Priyanka danced with one of the residents whilst Nick treated a whole group of them to a rendition of the Jonas Brothers’ track ‘Lovebug’.
Sharing a video on her Instagram account, Priyanka wrote: “12 years of knowing these girls and they get all love struck by the #lovebug… thank you @nickjonas and our families. Thank you to the sisters and all the girls at St. Catherine’s orphanage for opening your hearts to us again. I’ll see you next time (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dave Bautista says James Gunn has changed his life.
The ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ star was devastated to find out the director had been sacked from the helm of the science fiction movie after old tweets resurfaced online and credits James for “changing the course of my life”.
He said: “I love James. James really changed my life so it’s a personal thing too. I struggled, I starved for three years, I could barely get a job. There were a few people who believed in me along the way but James was the one who really changed the course of my life.”
And Dave is fuming that James has lost his position as director of the third instalment.
Speaking on the new series of The Jonathan Ross Show, which airs on ITV on Saturday night (01.09.18), he added: “I’m not really happy with what they’ve done with James Gunn. I don’t want to go too much into it, I don’t want to make it a political conversation. They are putting the movie off, it’s on hold indefinitely … I have an issue, I have a moral and a political issue with what they’ve done. I have been very vocal about the way I feel and I’m not afraid to admit the way I feel. That’s the way I feel.”
Dave previously spoke out in support of James and said he was “not OK” with the dismissal of a “loving and caring” man.
He tweeted: “I will have more to say but for right now all I will say is this..@JamesGunn is one of the most loving,caring,good natured people I have ever met. He’s gentle and kind and cares deeply for people and animals. He’s made mistakes. We all have. Im NOT ok with what’s happening to him (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Claire Danes has welcomed her second child into the world.
The ‘Homeland’ star’s publicist has confirmed that Claire gave birth to a baby on Monday (27.08.18), making her five-year-old son Cyrus a big brother.
It has not been revealed what the gender or name of the newest arrival is.
The 39-year-old actress – who has Cyrus and the new baby with her husband Hugh Dancy – previously confessed her son had mixed emotions about being an older brother to the new baby.
She said: “He’s mostly enthusiastic about it. There was a little wobble a couple months ago, where he was saying, ‘You’re gonna love the baby more than you love me,’ and then I was gonna love everybody more than I love him! Anybody who walked through the door, he’d say, ‘You love that person more than you love me!’ But he’s come around, We’ve moved through that and he keeps kissing my stomach … It’s very sweet, but I’m sure it’ll go back and forth … feelings of excitement, and dread, and resentment.”
And Claire is no doubt pleased to have given birth as she recently revealed she finds flying whilst pregnant “complicated”.
She shared: “Everything’s just a little more complicated when you’re knocked up. I have to wear compression stockings. I should be wearing them all the time, but I definitely have to wear them when I fly. And they’re dreadful. So there’s a lot of pressure on the lower extremities right? So it interferes with circulation, so it’s harder for the blood to get back up to the heart. Anyway, so I hate these things and so I refuse to wear them until it’s entirely essential.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Rachel Weisz has given birth.
The 48-year-old actress and her husband Daniel Craig, 50 – who tied the knot in 2011 – have welcomed a daughter and friends say they are “very happy” with the new arrival, according to the Daily Mail.
Rachel has a son Henry, 12, with former fiancé, Darren Aronofsky and Daniel has a daughter Ella, 26, with his ex-wife Fiona Loudon.
Rachel first revealed her pregnancy in a newspaper interview in April, saying: “I’ll be showing soon. Daniel and I are so happy. We’re going to have a little human. We can’t wait to meet him or her. It’s all such a mystery.”
And friends have said that having a baby together was the “natural next step” for the couple, who live in New York.
A source previously said: “It’s not surprising that they want a child together. They are both smart and secure and having a child is a natural next step even though both have children from other relationships.
“They admire each other and want to keep their marriage alive and exciting. She is independent and their marriage is solid. Having a child is a natural desire. They have been married long enough to know each other which is a mature step to be sure nothing goes wrong.”
Rachel started dating Daniel in December 2010 and the loved-up couple tied the knot in New York City in June 2011.
The brunette beauty previously admitted that she and Daniel have made a conscious effort to keep their romance “private”.
Rachel explained that she’d never had an ambition to get married before she met Daniel.
Of their relationship, she said: “It’s very personal, it’s very private. I don’t think mine’s particularly exceptional apart from that we’re both in the public eye.
“But I never thought I would get married. It was not an ambition of mine. It was the opposite.”
In fact, Rachel revealed she didn’t even believe in the concept of romance in popular culture before the James Bond actor came into her life.
The actress also feels like she was only able to find happiness once she reached a more “mature moment”.
She shared: “I couldn’t relate to romantic comedies – marriage seems to be the whole point of them. Then it just happened, happily, at a more mature moment.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Zedd didn’t want the level of fame that came with dating pop star Selena Gomez.
The 28-year-old producer had a brief romance with the 26-year-old singer – who has also been in relationships with Justin Bieber and The Weeknd – in 2015, and it pushed the ‘Clarity’ hitmaker into the spotlight with his family being hounded for details about the couple.
Zedd admits he should have been less naive going into a relationship with a celebrity and insists he has never been attracted to being famous.
He told the latest issue of Q magazine: “I should have been aware of it. I just didn’t want to think about it, maybe?
“That kind of fame is nothing for me. Nothing I am interested in.”
Zedd says he’d be willing to “sacrafice” his private life if he fell for another high-profile star, but he’s now able to tell if someone is “genuine”.
He says he always asks himself: “Why is that person talking to me? And do they expect or want something?”
The ‘Stay’ hitmaker previously admitted dating Selena “changed his life”.
The ex-lovers enoyed a short but “nice” relationship, but when news of the romance got out, he was “p***ed” to find out his family were being pestered for gossip.
The ‘Get Low’ musician – whose real name is Anton Zaslavski – said: “Reporters were calling my parents. People were hacking my friends’ phones. I was p***ed. [Though] I kind of knew what I was getting myself into. She is one of the most talked about people in the world, but I had no idea how much that would change my life.”

OHMYGOSSIP — John Cho keeps a portrait of his ‘American Pie’ co-star Jennifer Coolidge in his garage.
The 46-year-old actor popularised the term “MILF” in the ‘American Pie’ films and John has admitted he has a portrait of Jenifer Coolidge – who played Stifler’s mum – “hanging in his garage”.
Speaking to Total Film magazine, John – who plays Hikaru Sulu in the ‘Star Trek’ reboot film series – said: “I have a copy of Jennifer Coolidge’s portrait.
“In ‘American Pie’, I salivate over her portrait and call her a ‘MILF’. Years later, I was asked if I wanted one. I said, ‘Yes, I need that picture’. So it’s hanging in my garage.
“I also have the Starfleet insignia from my uniform, and I have Harold’s college degree from ‘Harold & Kumar’. That’s in my office bathroom.”
Meanwhile, John recently revealed that he dreams of replacing Daniel Craig as James Bond.
The actor admitted he’d love to be handed the role of 007, although he’s also keen to appear in a Western and even a Shakespeare production.
Speaking about his future ambitions, John shared: “I wouldn’t say no to Bond! That seems like a good gig.
“My dream gig is to do a Western. I’d love to do a Shakespeare play. The list is long. I’d like to do a heist movie. I’d love to crack a safe on screen.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Hilary Swank banned mobile phones from her wedding.
The 44-year-old actress recently secretly tied the knot to entrepreneur Philip Schneider at the Saint Lucia Preserve in Carmel, California, and has revealed the day was made even more “moving” because everyone was silent and “in the moment” without any distractions from their devices.
Asked what the most moving part of the ceremony was, Hilary told HELLO! magazine: “Hmm, it’s hard to choose. Being with my dad, but also when you walk down the aisle and see your soulmate waiting for you and all your loved ones who have made the journey and effort to be there… Everyone was quiet.
“We didn’t have any mobile phones at the ceremony so people could really be in the moment.
“And then two friends, Karen and Willa Griffin, sang and my newphew Brandon played the guitar.
“Then Philip’s best friend Mischa Collins read a poem he’d written for us.
“It was just magic, and very moving.”
The ‘Million Dollar Baby’ star having her father walk her down the aisle was especially emotional for the actress, as she took a three-year break from work to become his full-time carer in 2015, when he underwent a successful lung transplant.
She said: “Yes, after taking those three years off to look after my dad our relationship deepened.
“I sat with him for about 20 minutse before we made our way to the redwood grove and it was emotional.
“I was crying my make-up off.
“I felt so incredibly moved that he was with us and able to experience this with me.
“It was a moving moment for everyone as they knew the journey he’d taken to get to this place and time.”
Both Hilary and her husband had a little cry on their special day.
She said: “We both welled up. I already had my tissue because my dad had already started off the tears. But we were both emotional.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Nile Rodgers refused to produce a disco song for Aretha Franklin.
The Chic star has revealed he was asked to work on the late soul legend’s 1979 song ‘Only Star’ from her LP ‘La Diva’, but he told the ‘R.E.S.P.E.C.T’ hitmaker to her face, he didn’t want the job because he wouldn’t want to be known as “the guy who wrote Aretha Franklin’s disco hit”.
He recalled to MOJO magazine: “We only had one meeting but she wanted to write the songs.
“And she played this song ‘I’m Gonna Be The Only Star Tonight Down At The Disco'[late recorded as ‘Only Star’], because for some reason somebody had convinced Aretha Franklin that disco was so happening she had to do a disco record.
“And I told her, point blank, ‘There’s no way I’m going down in history as the guy who wrote Aretha Franklin’s disco hit’, at least not that one.
“She had written it and the guy who did The Hustle, Van McCoy, a terrific arranger, he did the album [1979’s ‘La Diva’ with co-producer Charlie Kipps].
“I couldn’t believe he did it. It’s just not a good song …”
Rodgers was right to do so, as the track and the disco-orientated album ended up being a commercial flop.
The ‘Get Lucky’ hitmaker didn however get to hear The Queen of Soul – who passed away earlier this month, aged 76, after a battle with pancreatic cancer – perform the song in the studio, and though he disliked the track itself, he said it was the most “beautiful” experience of his life hearing her sing like an “angel.
He continued: “[but] I gotta tell you, that one meeting with her I don’t think I ever experienced anythig so beautiful in my life.
“Just sitting next to Aretha Franklin at the piano and have her sing.
“As much as I hated the song, it sounded like an angel was singing in my ear.”
After hearing the sad news of Aretha’s death, Nile tweeted: “I just finished interviews in Berlin, and was informed the mighty @ArethaFranklin has passed. RIPArethaFranklin #Queen of Soul (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Gladys Knight does not have pancreatic cancer.
The 74-year-old singer caused confusion at Aretha Franklin’s funeral on Friday (31.08.18) when she told reporters that she and Aretha – who died two weeks ago after a long battle with pancreatic cancer – discussed having the “same disease” but she has since clarified her comments.
Gladys said in a statement: “I’d like to clarify that Aretha and I discussed both of us having cancer, mine was stage 1 breast cancer and hers was pancreatic. Due to early detection, I am cancer free and grateful for that. It is unfortunate that on a day we should be celebrating Aretha’s life and massive contribution to our world, a reporter who did not relay accurate information has missed the message. I send my love to the entire Franklin family and my gratitude to them for sharing such an extraordinary person with us.”
The confusion occurred when Gladys stopped to talk to reporters as she arrived at Detroit’s Greater Grace Temple on Friday.
In a video interview, she revealed to WDIV-TV that the last time she spoke to Aretha, she told her about the diagnosis.
She said: “At that time we shared the fact that we had the same disease.”
However, her publicist Javier Delgado insisted that his client was not battling pancreatic cancer.
He said: “She’s healthy. Someone must have misinterpreted. I’m not sure. Maybe she meant she feels her pain. But she does not have cancer.”
Knight took to the stage at Aretha’s funeral to say a few words before performing ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’, which Aretha recorded in 1972 for her live album ‘Amazing Grace’.
She said: “It’s been a great journey and He knows our every need, everywhere we are, and He gives us the remedies to everything, one way or the other. Cause He loves us like that. Even in our music, He sends us messages. And the little pain we feel right now, we can put it toward (this).”

OHMYGOSSIP — Damien Chazelle and Neil Armstrong’s sons have defended accusations that new movie ‘First Man’ is anti-American.
Ryan Gosling portrays late astronaut Armstrong in the drama, which retells NASA’s mission to land a man on the moon for the first time, and the movie has been under fire after Gosling said Armstrong’s moonwalk “was widely regarded not as an American, but as a human achievement”.
However, both director Chazelle and Armstrong’s sons, Rick and Mark have insisted that the decision not to include a flag-planting scene on the moon was not an anti-American message.
Chazelle said: “In ‘First Man’ I show the American flag standing on the lunar surface, but the flag being physically planted into the surface is one of several moments of the Apollo 11 lunar EVA that I chose not to focus upon.
“To address the question of whether this was a political statement, the answer is no. My goal with this movie was to share with audiences the unseen, unknown aspects of America’s mission to the moon — particularly Neil Armstrong’s personal saga and what he may have been thinking and feeling during those famous few hours. I wanted the primary focus in that scene to be on Neil’s solitary moments on the moon — his point of view as he first exited the LEM, his time spent at Little West Crater, the memories that may have crossed his mind during his lunar EVA. This was a feat beyond imagination; it was truly a giant leap for mankind. This film is about one of the most extraordinary accomplishments not only in American history, but in human history. My hope is that by digging under the surface and humanizing the icon, we can better understand just how difficult, audacious and heroic this moment really was.”
Rick and Mark said in a statement: “This story is human and it is universal. Of course, it celebrates an America achievement. It also celebrates an achievement ‘for all mankind,’ as it says on the plaque Neil and Buzz left on the moon. It is a story about an ordinary man who makes profound sacrifices and suffers through intense loss in order to achieve the impossible.
“Although Neil didn’t see himself that way, he was an American hero. He was also an engineer and a pilot, a father and a friend, a man who suffered privately through great tragedies with incredible grace. This is why, though there are numerous shots of the American flag on the moon, the filmmakers chose to focus on Neil looking back at the earth, his walk to Little West Crater, his unique, personal experience of completing this journey, a journey that has seen so many incredible highs and devastating lows.
“In short, we do not feel this movie is anti-American in the slightest. Quite the opposite. But don’t take our word for it. We’d encourage everyone to go see this remarkable film and see for themselves.”

OHMYGOSSIP — G-Eazy and Machine Gun Kelly are trading diss tracks.
Machine Gun Kelly, 28, kicked off the public drama by lashing out at his rap rival during a freestyle on HOT 97 with Funkmaster Flex, where he accused G-Eazy of stealing his look and then alleged he had slept with Halsey, who has had an on/off relationship with G-Eazy.
He rapped: “I f***ed his girl now he looks like me this sh*t overbearing/ How dare him I dare him/Don’t think about comparing/Now turn that frat rap off, I get sick of hearing.”
It did not take G-Eazy, 29, long to respond with his own track, titled ‘Bad Boy’, where he directly addressed MGK.
He said: “Your shots just graze me/ I’m standing, they put a hole in me/I answer to no one, nobody can get control of me/MGK please stop trolling me, get over me/ You wanna be me, you’re mad that you’re not as big as me/ Him & I’s on, you’re listening to Halsey sing of me/Can’t f**k with nobody with so much negative energy/ A pillar in this game, bro, I’ll be here until infinity.”
He added that MGK is a “mini-me” and a “f***ing joke,” and warned him to stay away from Halsey, rapping: “Ask myself why am I entertaining a mini me/ You’re so below my class, you’re reaching, you’re not offending me/ I’m headlining, heard you opening up for Fall Out Boy/ Don’t play with my name, you f**ker/ I said it’s not a toy/ Disrespect her again, I’ll smack you/ I’m not a boy.”
G-Eazy is not the only rapper who recently released a track slamming Machine Gun Kelly; Eminem, 45, showed that he is still furious with MGK for tweeting about his daughter Hailie in 2012, when she was just 16, and calling her “hot as f**k”.
On ‘Not Alike’, Eminem raps: “But next time you don’t gotta use Tech N9ne/ If you wanna come at me with a sub-machine gun/ And I’m talkin’ to you, but you already know who the f**k you are, Kelly/I don’t use sublims and sure as f**k don’t sneak diss/But keep commenting on my daughter Hailie.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Paul McCartney doesn’t think about retiring because “work is play” to him.
The 76-year-old Beatles legend has no plans to follow in the footsteps of Sir Elton John by quitting touring the world, as getting on stage each night still brings him so much joy.
However, the ‘Come On To Me’ hitmaker has admitted he did contemplate calling it a day in 2007, when he was 65.
That year, Macca completed just a mini six-date tour of intimate shows in the US and Europe to promote the release of the ‘Memory Almost Full’ album.
Asked if the thought has ever crossed his mind, he told the latest issue of Q magazine: “Inevitably you do, I mean, I had those thoughts at 65.
“Which is a while ago. ‘Cos 65 is the retirement age. In my world, in the working class.”
When reminded that it has been pushed back to 66 now, he added: “Oh they moved it? Hey, they can move it as far as they like, I don’t mind.
‘Cos my work is play. Seems to be working OK.”
The ‘Hey Jude’ hitmaker is set to release his brand new studio album ‘Egypt Station’ in September this year – which will mark his first album in five years, following 2013’s ‘New’ – but has a packed summer already with plans to do several “little gigs” before his record hits shelves.
He said: “We’re going to do some little gigs in July, don’t know what those are going to be yet. Note to self, must try and figure it out ’cause they’re approaching fast and then we do some bigger productions and things after that.”
Paul tries to stay optimistic in his life, and thinks most people “worry” too much about things that “probably won’t happen”.
He said: “I’m always trying to be optimistic and I am always pretty optimistic… There’s an expression somebody said to me once ‘I’m an old man with many worries, most of which never happen’ and I think that can be very true. We do worry worry worry worry about things… and people around us worry and I’ll often say this to someone whose worrying about something, I say don’t worry, you know it’s probably not going to happen, it’ll be ok. So yeah, I’m somewhere in the middle. I am optimistic, but I’m a realist so I try and keep this check on me that just doesn’t allow myself to get carried away with ‘oh it’s just all roses and sunshine’. I know it’s going to rain, I know the winter’s coming round. I know about that stuff for me to keep a check on myself and just think land somewhere in the middle of all of this and you’ll be ok.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Simon Cowell says Ant McPartlin will “always” be welcome on ‘Britain’s Got Talent.
Ant is taking the rest of the year off from TV commitments, after he spent time in rehab and was fined £86,000 for drink-driving earlier this year and Simon said he will be happy to have him back on the show next year once he is ready to return.
He told The Sun: “That is what I always thought would happen, so I am happy to hear that. He is welcome back and we have missed him. But he has done the right thing by taking some time off, and he will come back fresh and will enjoy it.”
And Simon revealed he did not speak to Ant while he was in rehab but sent messages of support via his presenting partner Declan Donnelly. 42.
He said: “We didn’t speak while he was in rehab but we got messages through Dec – as we have always done – but I didn’t want to impose on his privacy.
“But we have always made it clear what our relationship is, we help each other. We are friends and he is welcome back anytime.”
Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that Holly Willoughby will co-host ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ with Dec this year, while Ant continues to recover.
She said in a statement: “I couldn’t be more excited to have been asked to stand alongside Dec for the next jungle adventure. I love Ant and want to send him my best wishes and support for a continued recovery.
“These are big shoes, not to fill, but just to keep warm for a little bit. Honestly, I’m a huge fan of ‘I’m a Celebrity’ and actually feel like I’ve won a competition to go and hang out on my favourite show. When is it a good time to tell Dec I’m scared of everything that moves.”
Dec added: He said: “I am hugely grateful to Holly for agreeing to accompany me to Australia this year.
“She was at the top of my list and I’m thrilled she said yes. It will be a different kind of series but we will try our best to ensure it is no less fun and eventful for our loyal viewers.
“I am also pleased to hear Holly is scared of everything. I am almost stupidly excited at the thought of watching her during the eating trials.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kelvin Fletcher has blasted Roxanne Pallett after she alleged Ryan Thomas punched her.
Following a play fight between the pair in the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house, Roxanne claimed she was “punched” by Ryan “like a boxer would punch a bag” and accused him of being a “woman beater” but Kelvin, who played her husband on ‘Emmerdale’ has taken to Twitter to show his support for Ryan.
He tweeted: “She. Is. Evil. #cbb. She’s not ‘mentally ill’ or in need of ‘help’. That denounces that people with actual mental health issues are as vindictive and menacing as her. They are not. There is a big difference. That was calculated and manipulative beyond belief. Ryan [love heart].”
He later tweeted and deleted: “But regardless of what she has done, she is still a human being and we all make mistakes. We don’t need anymore Hate in the world. We all deserve opportunity for remorse and forgiveness.”
Big Brother assured the former ‘Emmerdale’ star they were taking her comments “very seriously” and later warned Ryan about his “unacceptable behaviour.”
He replied: “I think Roxanne knows there was no malice or anger.”
And Kelvin is not the only star to defend Ryan, with his girlfriend encouraging people to campaign to have her removed from the house.
She wrote on Twitter: “Please RT or like if u want Roxanne removed. I don’t think she is mentally fit to be in the house. #cbb (sic)”
‘Emmerdale’ star Danny Miller also slammed the actress, branding her a “horrible, attention-seeking little liar”.
He wrote: “Roxanne’s a known, compulsive liar. Ryan wouldn’t harm a fly. Horrible, attention seeking little liar. Goes from being upset & in pain to dancing & drinking – to going bed, crying she can’t sleep in the same room as Ryan, to worrying about being nominated?You be the judge (sic)”
Ryan’s former ‘Corrie’ co-star Brooke Vincent tweeted: “I’ve just caught up on @CelebBigBrother I honestly can’t believe what I have watched. @ryanjamesthomas Is like a brother to me and to see someone try and manipulate a situation towards him is so cruel , unnecessary and dangerous on so many levels!! TEAM RYAN ALWAYS (sic)”
