Nikki Bella spotted locking lips with Artem Chigvinstev

OHMYGOSSIP — Nikki Bella has been spotted locking lips with Artem Chigvinstev, after she previously denied they were anything serious.
The 35-year-old professional wrestler has been single since she ended her engagement to John Cena last summer, but it seems things are hotting up between her and Artem – whom she first met when he was her partner on ‘Dancing With the Stars’ in 2017 – as they were seen grabbing lunch together at Joan’s on Third in Los Angeles on Sunday (10.03.19).
In snaps obtained by TMZ, the pair can be seen packing on the PDA and engaged in a lip lock, before strolling off together hand-in-hand.
The sweet moment comes after Nikki admitted she has great “chemistry” with Artem, but didn’t see that as romantic.
She said: “Chemistry is not just romantic. I have amazing chemistry with people in the ring, people don’t call me a lesbian.
“I just think that’s crazy. I grew a huge passion for dancing, that’s my dancing pro that I’m so comfortable with dancing, he became one of my good friends.
“It just sucks because I’m in a situation where I feel like everyone’s constantly telling me how to live my life.”
Nikki also previously insisted her first date with Artem, which saw them visit a farmer’s market, wasn’t the start of something serious.
She claimed: “We had amazing chemistry. I moved to LA, so it was natural. Artem had asked me to the Farmers Market. But paparazzi kinda killed it so I was like, ‘Okay, I am out of here.'”
Meanwhile, a source said earlier this year that the pair have a “strong attraction” to one another.
They said: “They’ve been spending time together for a long time, but it’s nothing serious right now. They have a strong attraction to each other, but they’re just having fun. They’re both extremely busy with their own careers, so they spend time together when they can.”

Harlem Heat for WWE Hall of Fame

OHMYGOSSIP — Harlem Heat are set to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
The former professional wrestling tag team made up of brothers Booker T and Stevie Ray – whose real names are Booker and Lash Huffman – will join the likes of D-Generation X, The Honky Tonk Man, and Torrie Wilson during WrestleMania 35 next month, when they will all be entered into the history books as they get inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
Harlem Heat were 10-time champions during an incredible run in World Championship Wrestling, giving them more title reigns than any other team in company history.
But Booker T – who will be a two-time inductee after the ceremony as he was previously inducted as an individual in 2013 – can’t believe they’re now being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, because they “never actually wrestled” in what is now known as the WWE.
He said: “It was surprising, actually, I guess because one reason, my brother and I, we never actually wrestled in the WWE. My brother took a step aside at that point in time because he had a daughter, and he wanted to see her grow up and see her go to college. He got a chance to do that. But our career in WCW was awesome.”
Whilst his brother Stevie says he was left “speechless” when they got the phone call telling them the good news.
He told For The Win: “I was speechless for a couple of seconds. The last thing I was thinking about was the Hall of Fame … I’m going to be honest with you, I hadn’t really thought about it. You know, I get the fans hitting me all the time with different things about Harlem Heat needs to be in the Hall of Fame, so on and so forth. But you never know, so I never gave it very much thought.”
The duo will enter the Hall of Fame during WrestleMania 35, which takes place at the Barclays Centre in New York City on April 6.

Gwyneth Paltrow isn’t quitting acting

OHMYGOSSIP — Gwyneth Paltrow insists she isn’t “quitting acting”.
The ‘Iron Man’ actress has become a Hollywood star since her career launched over two decades ago, but after revealing last month that she would be retiring from her role as Pepper Potts in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) after the release of ‘Avengers: Endgame’ this summer, some fans have been asking her if this spells the end of her acting career.
And Gwyneth has now insisted that whilst her “full-time passion” is now her lifestyle website Goop, she isn’t giving up her Hollywood career completely.
Speaking on the ‘Today’ show on Monday (11.03.19), she said: “I’ve never said that I am quitting acting. What I say is Goop is my full-time passion, and being the founder and CEO of Goop is what I do all day every day, and occasionally when something is the right thing and it works out around my children and my Goop life, I’m able to participate.
“I think I’m just not focused on full-time acting right now.”
Meanwhile, the ‘Shakespeare in Love’ actress recently said she felt she was “masquerading as an actor”, when asked if she sees herself “as an actor who developed a career as a lifestyle entrepreneur, or a lifestyle entrepreneur who happened to have a career as an actor.”
Gwyneth – who has daughter Apple, 14, and son Moses, 12, with her ex-husband Chris Martin – previously spoke about her decision to step away from Hollywood, saying it came after she noticed the industry had shifted to focus on more blockbuster fare.
She said: “I think the movies and the business around them have changed so much in the last 20 years. I don’t think any of the movies that I’m known for would get made today. Would they make ‘The Royal Tenenbaums’? Would they make ‘The Talented Mr. Ripley’? Would they make ‘Shakespeare in Love’?”

James Buckley refused to go nude in The Inbetweeners Movie

OHMYGOSSIP — James Buckley was given a “horrible c**k” for ‘The Inbetweeners Movie’ after he annoyed writer Damon Beesley by refusing to strip off naked for a scene in the film.
The 48-year-old screenwriter revealed that the “most expensive” scene in the 2011 comedy film was one in which James’ character Jay Cartwright has his swimming trunks pulled down by a local kid as he is stood by the pool.
A double had to be found at the last minute after James, 31, refused to expose his manhood for entertainment purposes.
Damon went on to admit that he took “vicious delight” in superimposing the double’s penis on James as viewers would assume he had exposed his own genitals.
Speaking on Richard Herring’s Leicester Square Theatre Podcast, he said: “The most expensive effect in the film is where we had to drop in a shot of a penis double for James Buckley.
“Why it was annoying for us was because he’d had the script for about eight months and obviously hadn’t read it.
“And then when we were in rehearsals we got a call from his agent saying, ‘He’s not going to do the nudity.’ We went, ‘Well, it’s a bit late for that because we’d scheduled it all.’
“We found someone in Majorca, where we filmed, who would do it. I said to James we’d had a double.
“We had to shoot a shot where James is there with his trunks on. Then we shot the exact same shot but with the penis double in there naked. Then we had to composite those together.
“I think James thought it would go: here’s James, then there’s a shot from behind of the trunks, then there would be a close-up and you’d never know it was James.
“But really you can do this digitally. It’s a full-length body shot of James but someone with a much more horrible c**k than James – superimposed. Nobody knows it’s not his. So I had a little vicious delight in that.”

Bollywood biopic on Mother Teresa being made

OHMYGOSSIP — Bollywood is creating a biopic about the life of the late Mother Teresa.
The film – which is thought to be named ‘Mother Teresa The Saint’ – will be written and directed by Indian politician, Seema Upadhyay, and will have a yet-to-be-announced cast of both Indian and international actors.
The Bollywood project, which has a release date pf 2020, will be produced by ‘Paanch’ Pradeep Sharma, ‘Ready’ Nitin Manmohan, Girish Johar and Prachi Manmohan, and will follow the life of the famous Roman Catholic nun and missionary, who became renowned for her humanitarian work in India and was subsequently declared a saint by Pope Francis.
Writing on Twitter, Girish confirmed the news saying: “Proud NEW journey … Official biopic on nobel laureate #MotherTeresa launched, produced by Pradeep Sharma, Nitin Manmohan, Girish Johar & @Prachinm. Written-Directed by Seema Upadhyay. Cast-Crew comprises top talent pools of Bollywood & Hollywood.
@OneUpEntertain @seems_u (sic)”
The filmmakers met with Sister Prema Mary Pierick, the current Superior General of the Missionaries of Charity – which was set up by Mother Teresa in 1948 – and Sister Lynne in Kolkata to seek their blessings for the movie.
In a statement, Upadhyay said: “She is a global icon and we will ensure to leave no stone unturned to meet her international stature and pay our tribute to the noble soul. We hope we will do justice and will be able to spread the message for peace, love and humanity that Mother Teresa stood for.”
The Albanian nun – who later became an Indian citizen – has had many projects made about her incredible life and work with orphans and disadvantaged people throughout India.
In 2003, there was a documentary named ‘Mother Teresa of Calcutta’ and in 2014 a film called ‘The Letters’ explored her life through letters she wrote to her long-time friend and spiritual adviser Father Celeste van Exem.

Bon Jovi teases new album on Instagram

OHMYGOSSIP — Bon Jovi have teased a brand new album as they start work in the studo..
The ‘Livin’ On A Prayer’ rockers played a snippet of a new song on Instagram over the weekend at the Ocean Way Nashville Recording Studios, giving fans the first hint of a much-anticipated new LP, the follow-up to their 2016 chart-topping record ‘This House is Not for Sale’.
At the end of the 30-second video, frontman Jon Bon Jovi simply said: “Day one, song one, new record, see ya!”
The video pans the studio and shows the rest of the band – including Tico Torres, David Bryan, Phil X, and Hugh McDonald – in the studio with earphones on.
The ‘Knockout’ hitmakers will hit the road this summer for their first stadium tour across the UK in six years, including shows at London’s Wembey Stadium and Liverpool’s Anfield.
Kicking off in Liverpool on June 19, the tour will see the iconic group move onto the legendary London venue before bringing things to an end at Ricoh Arena in Coventry on June 23.
The London show will be special for the band after they had to cancel a show more than a decade ago because the new stadium wasn’t ready yet.
In a statement, frontman Jon Bon Jovi said: “Those huge shows, tens of thousands of people all together as one, that’s what we do. And we’ve got a few things to put right by playing Wembley Stadium.
“We were so excited to be the first band to play that new stadium, I would have helped build it myself to make it happen. So we have a new history to write there. We’ve had some great nights at the Ricoh too.
“Throw in Anfield as a new venue – OK that’s just us showing off! We’re honored to play there and the first thing I’m doing is getting that iconic picture under the ‘This Is Anfield’ sign.”
The ‘This House Is Not For Sale’ tour will see Manic Street Preachers join the bill as special guests.

James May to head to Japan for solo TV project

OHMYGOSSIP — James May is set to head to Japan for a solo TV project for Amazon.
The 56-year-old presenter has worked with Amazon for three seasons of ‘The Grand Tour’ – which he co-hosts with Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond – but he is now set to go it alone for a brand new Amazon Prime Original six-part unscripted series called ‘Our Man In … Japan’ which will see James journey across the country, determined to “immerse” himself in the culture “completely”.
James said in a statement: “Japan is the most amazing place I’ve ever visited. Everything about it is a surprise: a boiled sweet, a bullet train, an unexpected ancient temple, and the challenge of eating a single edamame bean with chopsticks.
“It’s a class A stimulant for all the senses, and an etiquette minefield for the unwary. I intend to immerse myself in it completely, in the pursuit of enlightenment and life balance. And I bet the noodles will be fantastic.”
The show – directed by BAFTA TV Award nominee Tom Whitter – will launch exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in over 200 countries and territories, and has already started production, though a release date is not yet known.
Georgia Brown, Director of Prime Original Series in Europe, said: “We’re incredibly excited to announce this new project with James, which will see him take on an epic thousand mile journey across ancient Japanese islands, mega cities, and all points in between.
“The Grand Tour fans around the world will be delighted to hear that they will have even more James May on their screens. We can’t wait to see what James and his talented team produce from this ambitious adventure.”
Meanwhile, Amazon recently greenlit a fourth season of ‘The Grand Tour’, which will see James team up with Jeremy, 58, and Richard, 49, once again for a series which will focus on the travel elements of the show.

Taika Waititi for Time Bandits adaptation

OHMYGOSSIP — Taika Waititi is set to helm a TV adaptation of ‘Time Bandits’.
The 43-year-old filmmaker – who is best known for his work directing 2017’s ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ – will direct and co-write the pilot for a potential TV series based on Terry Gilliam’s 1981 fantasy sci-fi movie.
According to The Wrap, the pilot is being created for Apple, with the potential to turn it into a full series if it is well received.
Anonymous Content, Paramount Television and Media Rights Capital are co-producing the episode, whilst Waititi, Gilliam, and Dan Halstead will also serve as the project’s executive producers.
As of the time of writing, no cast members have been confirmed for the show, and no further information has been revealed.
‘Time Bandits’ was released in 1981 and starred the likes of Sean Connery, John Cleese, Shelley Duvall, Michael Palin, and Peter Vaughn.
The story follows a young history buff named Kevin (Craig Warnock), who gets the shock of his life when six dwarves emerge from his closet and take him with them on their quest to different historical eras to steal treasure.
Kevin and the dwarves visit the likes of Napoleon (Ian Holm), Robin Hood (John Cleese) and King Agamemnon (Sean Connery) before the Supreme Being catches up with them.
For Waititi, the new project comes as he said in 2017 he’d love to tackle a standalone Black Widow movie for Marvel.
He said: “In all honesty, I reckon I could probably bring something pretty unique to any of the franchises. So, I’d love to see Black Widow. [I’d like to see] Black Widow as something crazy and a bit funnier than we expect it to be. Because we know her story and it’s very sullen and very dark and her history is very dark. But! What’s the funny version of that? What’s the more entertaining version of that?”

The Atkins family set to join EastEnders

OHMYGOSSIP — The Atkins family is set to join ‘EastEnders’ this month.
Chantelle Atkins, the much talked about daughter of Karen Taylor and Mitch Baker, is set to make an impactful entrance to Walford later this month when she arrives in town with her family, consisting of husband Gray and children Mia and Mackenzie.
The easy-going girl next door will be played by Jessica Plummer – who is best known for her roles in feature films including ‘Wizards vs. Aliens’, and was also previously in girl group Neon Jungle – and although she may seem kind and bubbly on the outside, Chantelle is very much her mother’s daughter and wouldn’t think twice about sticking up for herself.
Speaking about her casting, Jessica said: “Just like the majority of the UK, I grew up watching EastEnders. It’s an absolute honour to be joining the cast with all my childhood favourites … Rickaaaaaaaay”.
Meanwhile, Chantelle’s husband Gray Atkins will be played by Toby-Alexander Smith, and has been described as charming, confident and very proud of everything he’s achieved as a solicitor in the City of London.
Toby-Alexander – who previously appeared in ‘Doctors’ – said of his casting: “I’m delighted to be joining the cast of EastEnders as I’ve always been a fan. I’m looking forward to seeing what Albert Square has in store for Gray.”
But Chantelle’s “picture-perfect” life away from Albert Square is set to put her and Gray into “conflict” with the rest of her family when they return.
Executive producer Kate Oates said in a press release: “I’m so excited to welcome Jessica and Toby to Albert Square. Chantelle is a Taylor through and through: tough, sharp and streetwise. To the rest of the Taylor family, she is definitely the one who’s ‘done good’: leaving home early, and landing on her feet marrying the handsome and successful Gray. But will Chantelle’s picture-perfect lifestyle put her and Gray into conflict with the rest of her family?”
Jessica and Toby-Alexander have already begun filming, and their characters will arrive in Walford later this month.

Olivia Newton-John sends support to Alex Trebek following cancer diagnosis

OHMYGOSSIP — Olivia Newton-John sent a message of support to Alex Trebek after he was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
The ‘Grease’ star is currently battling cancer herself for the third time, and says she contacted the ‘Jeopardy!’ host to tell him she knows he “can get through this” after he candidly spoke about his diagnoses in a video message to his fans earlier this month.
Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight’, she said: “I sent him a message saying, ‘I know you can get through this,’ and, ‘Don’t listen to stage four and all of [that]. Don’t read the statistics and stay focused and see how you can heal yourself.’
“That helps. Sense of humour is vital. He has a great attitude and a great sense of humour about it and I’m sure he’ll do very well.”
Olivia’s comments come after the 78-year-old television presenter admitted he is aware that the prognosis for the disease is “not encouraging”, but he’s vowed to “fight” it and will continue working on his game show.
In his video message, Alex said: Hi everyone, I have some news to share with all of you. And it’s in keeping with my longtime policy of being open and transparent with our Jeopardy fanbase. I also wanted to prevent you from reading or hearing some overblown or inaccurate reports regarding my health.
“So therefore, I wanted to be the one to pass along this information. Now, just like 50,000 other people in the United States each year, this week I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
“Now normally the prognosis for this is not very encouraging, but I’m going to fight this and I’m going to keep working.”
Alex – who has children Matthew, 29, and Emily, 27, with wife Jean Currivan – then asked fans to pray for him to beat the disease.
He continued: “And with the love and support of my family and friends, and with the help of your prayers also, I plan to beat the low survival rate statistics for this disease.”
And Alex joked he has to keep working because of the terms of his contract on the game show, which he has hosted for 35 years.
He quipped: “Truth told, I have to because under the terms of my contract, I have to host Jeopardy! for three more years! So help me!
“Keep the faith and we’ll win. We’ll get it done. Thank you.”

Evan Rachel Wood self harmed during abusive relationship

OHMYGOSSIP — Evan Rachel Wood used to “self harm” during her time in an “abusive relationship”.
The ‘Westworld’ actress candidly opened up about the abuse she suffered during a past relationship on Twitter on Monday (11.03.19), when he used the #IAmNotOk hashtag to tell her story in an attempt to raise awareness for domestic violence.
Alongside a picture of herself with scars on her arm, she wrote: “2 years into my abusive relationship
“I resorted to self harm. When my abuser would threaten or attack me, I cut my wrist as a way to disarm him. It only made the abuse stop temporarily. At that point I was desperate to stop the abuse and I was too terrified to leave.”
Evan also shared snaps from a photoshoot which she attended during her time in the relationship, and said she “fell into a pool of tears” on the job and had to be sent home.
She wrote: “The day of this photoshoot, I was so weakened by an abusive relationship. I was emaciated, severely depressed, and could barely stand. I fell into a pool of tears and was sent home for the day.”
Meanwhile, the 31-year-old actress recently opened up about her experiences with domestic abuse during an interview with Dax Shepard for his ‘Armchair Expert’ podcast.
She said: “I’ve been studying law this year. I do a lot of domestic violence advocacy work, and part of that is learning everything you can about the laws to see what’s working and what’s not.
“I’m a survivor myself and it wasn’t until very recently that I really came to terms with everything and was even able to identify what had happened. When it happens, it’s very complicated and you lie to yourself, you’re being lied to, you’re being gaslit, you’re in a dangerous situation … you lose a sense of self and a sense of reality because you’re stuck in this kind of nightmare for a while.”

Alex Rodriguez prepared proposal ‘on his own’

OHMYGOSSIP — Alex Rodriguez “did everything on his own” on the lead up to his proposal to Jennifer Lopez.
The 43-year-old retired baseball star got down on one knee to pop the question to the ‘Jenny From the Block’ hitmaker over the weekend during a romantic vacation in the Bahamas, and a source has now said he planned the whole surprise himself, including picking out the perfect ring.
A source told People magazine: “He did everything on his own with the ring. It was a complete surprise [to Jen].”
Alex purchased a mega-carat emerald-cut sparkler for his wife-to-be, which diamond experts say appears to be at least 15 carats and valued at upwards of $5 million.
Ajay Anand, CEO of Rare Carat, told People: “Our team of gemologists and diamond PhD’s estimate the emerald-cut diamond is 20 carats and worth around $4.5 million/ This estimate is if the stone is D-Flawless [a very rare, colourless gem]. Since it’s A-Rod, it very well could be!”
Meanwhile, sources recently said 49-year-old Jennifer was “surprised” by Alex’s proposal, as she hadn’t been expecting the sportsman to get down on one knee.
An insider said: “Jennifer is ecstatic and so are their families and friends. Very few people knew Alex planned on proposing.
“It was very much a surprise for Jennifer. It was just how Alex wanted it.”
The ‘Shades of Blue’ actress – who has twins Max and Emme, 11, with third ex-husband Marc Anthony – is the “happiest she has ever been” with Alex, and their friends think they are true “soulmates”.
The source added: “They are incredible together. Very much soulmates that bring out the best in each other and are so supportive of each other.
“From the start, they moved very quickly. Their relationship was always very passionate. Jennifer quickly fell very hard for Alex. And she quickly started planning for the future.”

Amber Heard’s coming out struggle

OHMYGOSSIP — Amber Heard’s parents “didn’t know how to process” things when she told them she was bisexual.
The 32-year-old actress identifies as bisexual, meaning she is attracted to both men and women, and has said that telling her parents she was in a relationship with a woman for the first time wasn’t easy, because of their “religious” background.
She said: “I am from Austin, Texas. My dad is out of central casting Texan. Good Southern man, and I was raised in a religious home. And being an outspoken lesbian, atheist, vegetarian, I remember when I told them about my relationship, that I was in love with this woman, and at the beginning of that it was just tears, tears.
“They didn’t know how to process it because, for them, it was being thrown into a binary system of processing it, negative or positive.”
But the ‘Aquaman’ star says that whilst her parents didn’t understand her sexuality at first, their “attitudes and hearts” changed over time.
Speaking during a panel at SXSW over the weekend, she added: “Five years later, I was getting an award, and I asked my parents to drive out to Dallas. And I see them sitting front and center and here I am getting this ‘gay’ award … My parents in five years, look at the journey. Attitudes and hearts can change.”
Amber publicly came out in 2010 at an event hosted by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), and has previously claimed she was advised not to talk about her sexuality in case it negatively impacted her career.
She said: “I don’t want to have to deny my sexuality in order to be me. But I don’t want to have to be defined by it. I’m fundamentally opposed to trying to edit myself to be palatable or popular. I don’t give a f**k. I fight, but I shouldn’t have to.”

Luke Perry’s daughter slams critics

OHMYGOSSIP — Luke Perry’s daughter has slammed trolls who are “shaming” her “grieving process” following the death of her father.
The ‘Riverdale’ actor tragically passed away this month at the age of 52 just a few days after suffering a stroke, and now his 18-year-old daughter Sophie has taken to social media to hit out at those who have criticised her for posting light hearted Instagram snaps, because she says she’s still “torn the f**k up” over Luke’s passing without crying “day in and day out”.
Posting on Instagram, she wrote: “Since my dad died I have received a lot of attention online. And most of it has been positive but of course, some people just can’t be nice. And I’m here to say that I did not ask for this attention, I did not ask to be thrown into some virtual spotlight, and while I don’t mean to offend anybody, I’m also not going to cater to any one else’s needs and beliefs.
“I’m 18. I swear like a sailor and sometimes I dress like a hooker. And I support causes and you may not. And most importantly. I am going to laugh and smile and live my normal life. YES I am hurt and sad and crying and beside myself with what happened to my dad. It’s the worst thing to ever happen in my life. And I am torn the f**k up over it. But I’m not going to sit in my room and cry day in and day out until the internet has deemed it appropriate for me to do otherwise. And if you knew my dad you would know he wouldnt want me to. So you shouldn’t either.
“So to those of you shaming me for my language and my wardrobe and most disgustingly, my grieving process, do us both the favor and just unfollow. It’s a waste of both of your time. (sic)”
Both Sophie and her brother, 21-year-old wrestler Jack Perry – who goes by the ring name Jungle Boy – have spoken out on social media about their father’s tragic passing, with Sophie also praising her mother Minnie for being the “rock for everybody” in their family.
Posting a picture of herself with her mother last week, Sophie wrote: “You all know my dad is a super star, but I just want to share for a moment that I got really f***ing lucky in the parental department because this is my mom. Minnie. Who also happens to be my best friend. Wow, how cliche, I know. And she is the rock for everybody grieving in this family right now. She’s the toughest and sweetest and most amazing woman I or anyone else has ever met. How did I get so lucky to have two icons for parents? I love you mom and I could not get through this absolute s**t situation without you. None of us could. Oh. And I was just informed it was national women’s day, how fitting for a post on my kick ass mama. #happynationalwomensday (sic)”

Darren Criss turned his wedding into a rock show

OHMYGOSSIP — Darren Criss performed guitar instead of his wife Mia Swier walking down the aisle.
The ‘Glee’ alum and his 33-year-old spouse tied the knot in a “magical” ceremony at the Ace Hotel in New Orleans on February 16, over a year after they got engaged, and Darren has revealed he turned their wedding into a “rock show” as he serenaded Mia and their guests, before they walked together to greet their ordainer.
Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight’, Darren said: “I didn’t watch her come down the aisle.
“Everyone’s sitting down and I come from the front and I pick up a guitar and I played my family and her family down the aisle.
“When I was done, I went to the back to retrieve Mia myself and we walked up together.”
John Stamos – who played Carl Howell in the hit US musical comedy show – even gave the couple a performance of ‘Forever’ by Jesse and the Rippers, which was featured in his comedy ‘Full House’.
Darren said: “I produced this whole concert.
“Like, there was a whole rock show that was all of our homies from over the years! So, there was no wedding band. [John] Stamos went up and sang Jesse and the Rippers’ ‘Forever’ from Full House. That was amazing.”
The 32-year-old actor also revealed that John gave the newlyweds a rather special gift – but refused to reveal what it was.
He said: “I won’t say what John got us, but it is f***ing incredible.”
The Golden Globe winner – who starred as Blaine Anderson on ‘Glee’ – admitted he doesn’t like sharing details of his private life, but their wedding was so “magical”, he wanted the whole “universe” to see the pictures.
He said: “I’m very cagey about my personal life.
“I’m just weird about social media and stuff [but] after I saw the photos for this wedding, I was like, I want f***ing everybody to see this sh*t. This is amazing!’
“I was literally like, ‘I wish everybody in the entire universe could’ve been in this wedding.
“It was the most magical weekend, like, ever.”
The pair said “I do” in front of family and friends, including several friends Darren made on the set of ‘Glee’, such as John, Lea Michele, Chord Overstreet and Harry Shum Jr.
The ‘Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story’ actor announced his engagement to Mia – who he had been dating for around eight years – back in January 2018, but later admitted they’d already been engaged for a little while before they made the social media post confirming it to the world.
At the time, he wrote on Instagram: “Mia and I have had seven and a half years of fun, wacky, wonderful, CRAZY adventures together. And I’m happy to announce that we’re kicking those adventures up a notch. We’re goin for it. To boldly go where neither of us have gone before. Engage. (sic)”
