OHMYGOSSIP — Wrestling legend King Kong Bundy has died.

Kevin Owens also recalled his first meeting with Bundy.
He wrote: “I met King Kong Bundy in 1999. I had just started training and was helping out backstage at the show he was on. I’ll always remember him being really funny and just such a great guy. I wish I had been lucky enough to cross paths with him again. My thoughts go out to his family.”
Big E sent his respects to the late star’s family.
He wrote: “Rest In Peace to the true master of the Five Count. Condolences to his loved ones. #KingKongBundy (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Nick Jonas has praised his ex-girlfriend Miley Cyrus insisting she is a super talented “real singer”.
The 26-year-old ‘Jealous’ hitmaker started dated the ‘Wrecking Ball’ singer in June 2006 after they met at a charity event, however, they split in December 2007 and Nick went on to marry actress Priyanka Chopra last year, whilst Miley met her Australian actor husband Liam Hemsworth on the set of their 2010 film ‘The Last Song’.
Nick has nothing but praise for Miley’s musical talent and insists it has not been a surprise to him to see her ditch her Hannah Montana Disney past and become a respected solo artist in her own right.
Speaking on Apple Music’s Beats 1 radio show on Monday (04.03.19), he said: “She’s a real singer. But we knew that because we grew up with her.
“We had a song with her back in the day called ‘Before the Storm,’ which is my favourite catalogue song of The Jonas Brothers. And at that point she was 16 and she was singing her ass off. So, it’s no surprise now that people are coming around to [her talent]. But I’m not sitting around going, ‘Told you so.'”
Nick has just reunited The Jonas Brothers band with his siblings Kevin and Joe after the trio – who began life on the Disney Channel and had great success before splitting in 2013 – realised they was something missing in their lives.
The group have released new single ‘Sucker’ and they have now announced they are teaming up with Amazon Studios for an as-yet-untitled documentary film.
Speaking about the doc, Nick says he wants to the film to give their fans an insight into their life as a family and once again as a and.
He said: “It’s going to give people a look into who we are as a family, as brothers and we were also the Jonas Brothers at one time, then we weren’t, and now we are again. So you kind of get the full range of our life story plus our family’s perspective on everything. Also a big factor in this too is the fans and what they’ve meant to us. I think it’s going to be something we look back on in 20 years and we were able to show our kids and be really proud of the growth we’ve had.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Heidi Montag thought Lauren Conrad would have put their long-running feud behind her and “been friends again” by now.
The former ‘Hills’ stars fell out during the reality show’s third series in 2007 and the blonde beauty always believed they would reconcile eventually, but it has never happened.
Heidi – who, unlike Lauren, is set to appear in an upcoming reboot of the show – told America’s Cosmopolitan magazine: “Sometimes things happen that will change how you feel about people, and sometimes it’s very permanent. I thought with Lauren and me, we would’ve been friends again.”
The much-anticipated reboot will also feature newcomer to the franchise, ‘The O.C.’ star Mischa Barton, who remembers watching the show being filmed during its original run from 2006 to 2010.
She added: “It’s weird because I remember going out with Nicole Richie and people at the time, and we would come by set when they were filming ‘The Hills’.
“She would drag me to the producer van to see what you guys had been up to all day. All these years later…it sounds corny, but it felt like this was supposed to happen.”
Mischa also insisted that the show’s drama comes from the fact that the cast are a close family and all have history with another person.
She said: “I sometimes get in over my head. I didn’t really consider the fact that they’re all such close friends. They’re family girls. They all have husbands or ex-husbands and babies…I was afraid that, obviously, the drama would land on me because I don’t have babies. But the bulk of the drama comes from the history they have.”
MTV announced earlier this year that the reality show – which starred Brody Jenner alongside Heidi, Lauren, Spencer Pratt, Audrina Patridge, and Kristin Cavallari, and ran for six seasons from 2006 to 2010 – will return as ‘The Hills: New Beginnings’ in 2019.

OHMYGOSSIP — Kylie Jenner has become the world’s youngest self-made billionaire.
The 21-year-old reality star insists she “didn’t expect” to be so successful when she launched her beauty business Kylie Cosmetics – which Forbes magazine values at at least $900 million – four years ago.
She told the financial publication: “I didn’t expect anything. I did not foresee the future. But [the recognition] feels really good. That’s a nice pat on the back.”
Most of the brand’s marketing is done through social media – where the brunette beauty announces product launches, previews new items and tells fans which shades she’s wearing each day – to her 175 million-plus fan base across Instagram, Facebook and Twitter and Kylie believes it’s been essential to her success.
She added: “It’s the power of social media. I had such a strong reach before I was able to start anything.”
Kylie has overtaken Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who previously held the title of youngest self-made billionaire from the age of 23.
The make-up mogul signed an exclusive distribution deal in November last year with beauty store chain Ulta to stock her $29 lip kits – a matte liquid lipstick and matching lip liner – into the company’s 1,000-plus stores across 50 states in the US, having previously sold only online or occasionally at pop-up shops.
Following her deal with the beauty company, Kylie Cosmetics sold $54.5 million worth of products in just six weeks, according to estimates from Oppenheimer.
Kylie owns her entire company, which she started in 2015, and employs just seven full-time and five part-time employees, while manufacturing and packaging is outsourced to Seed Beauty and her mum and manager Kris Jenner helps run the brand’s finances and PR.
Kylie Cosmetics’ revenue climbed 9% to an estimated $360 million last year.

OHMYGOSSIP — Simon Harper says Rosie Marcel and Amanda Mealing are “devoted to each other in real life”.
The ‘Holby City’ and ‘Casualty’ producer revealed that although the pair play rival surgeons Jac Naylor and Connie Beauchamp in their respective shows, they “really relished” the chance to act alongside each other in the recent crossover of medical dramas, which joined forces for a mash-up as the hospital in which both dramas are set is targeted by a cyber-attack.
Speaking on ‘The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show’ on Radio 2, Simon said: “Rosie and Amanda really relished this opportunity. It’s funny because they both play arch rivals on the show but are devoted to each other in real life.
“There are so many wonderful things in the episode tonight but that’s kind of the crux of the whole thing they’re the kind of iconic strong female surgeon characters in both show.”
Amanda, 51, currently plays Connie in ‘Casualty’, but previously portrayed the boss of 41-year-old Rosie’s character Jac in ‘Holby City’.
And Simon admitted the pair’s history adds a “delicious tension” to the show – which will continue on Tuesday evening (05.01.19).
He explained: “What’s brilliant is the two characters have this shared history because Jac is the ‘Holby’ character but Connie is the ‘Casualty’ character, but Connie used to be in ‘Holby’ and she used to be Jac’s boss.
“So there was that kind of tension and rivalry going on and now they’re equals.
“Jac won’t let her forget it so there’s that kind of delicious tension and shared history underscoring the scene.”
Simon said it was “very tricky” working out the filming schedules for both shows.
He said: “If we’re talking about unsung heroes I actually have to give a massive shout out to the two schedulers on both shows because scheduling it was such a huge challenge.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kym Marsh is hopeful ‘Coronation Street’ bosses will not kill off her character.
The 42-year-old star announced last month she is to depart the ITV soap, but has now hinted she will only be taking “a break” from the programme, and is optimistic the producers will not do away with her alter-ego Michelle Connor.
Quizzed on whether Michelle might get killed off, she replied: “Well, I hope not.”
When asked if she’ll definitely be back on the cobbles, she replied: “I’ve said I’m taking a break, so yeah. I think it’s just a break for me.
“Being there for 13 years without taking anytime away…”
Kym is grateful for her time on the cobbles, but is keen to try her hand at other projects when she departs Weatherfield.
She said: “It has flown by and I’ve had such a wonderful time on that show. I’ve learnt so much and I’ve made friends for live.
“But it’s time for me to take a little break. I just want to scratch a few itches.”
The former Hear’Say singer recently said one of the reasons for quitting the soap is to spend time with her daughter Emilie Cunliffe’s impending baby boy, and she is “really excited” about being a grandmother.
Speaking on ‘Loose Women’, she added: “It was a big shock for all of us when we found out she was pregnant, but we’re all so excited.
“She’s had a wonderful pregnancy. She’s not had any sickness, she’s sailed through it. She’s still working 40-hour weeks.
“I’m really excited.”
But Kym recently admitted she is not intending to swap the cobbles for reality TV shows.
She wrote: “There were reports that I was going to appear in the next series of Strictly or I’m A Celeb … as wonderful as those shows are, I’m not leaving Corrie after thirteen years to do reality TV.
“Another big factor in my decision to take a break from Corrie is the impending arrival of my grandson.
“I’m looking forward to having more time to spend with him and Emilie after he’s born this summer.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Tamara Ecclestone’s daughter is wishing for a baby sister.
The 34-year-old heiress finally feels “ready” to have a second child with her husband Jay Rutland but she’s worried after a psychic told her she would fall pregnant with a boy because four-year-old Sophia, who is known as Fifi, is desperate for there to be another girl in the household.
Asked if she’s ready for another baby in an interview with the new issue of Heat magazine, she said: “For the first time ever, I am – and Fifi’s now started asking for a sister.
“We were in Switzerland and she asked me for a penny coin for the wishing fountain, she threw the coin in the fountain and she wished for a sister. There were tears in my eyes. I thought, ‘Right, I have to do something.’ But then a psychic told me I’d have a boy this time. That can’t happen – Fifi wants a sister. But Jay would love a boy.”
Tamara and Jay recently splashed out on a lavish bed for Fifi after she decided she didn’t want to sleep with them any more – but the youngster ignores her new “princess carriage” and still climbs in with her parents instead.
She said: “She asked for her own bed, so we got her this princess carriage one, and we put it in the bedroom, next to our bed, and she hasn’t been in it once. We’ve got a massive bed though – there’s me, Jay, Fifi and our dog Teddy.”
Fifi is now attending school and though Tamara initially found it “strange” not to always have her daughter with her, she’s now developed a new routine.
She said: “In the beginning, it was strange and the day used to go really slowly. But now the hours just fly by. I focus on my work and meet friends for coffee or lunch. I also go to Barry’s Bootcamp three or four times a week. I don’t weigh myself but clothes fit a little bit differently and it’s made me feel so much better within myself.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Lili Reinhart has shared a heartfelt poem she wrote about Luke Perry’s death.
The 22-year-old actress has channelled her grief into verse following the death of her ‘Riverdale’ co-star, who passed away on Monday (04.03.19) at the age of 52 a few days after suffering a stroke.
The ‘Galveston’ star, who plays Betty in the CW drama series, referred to her “lost friend” and said she is “frozen in a moment” of “loss and shock” over the death of Luke, who played Fred Andrews in the show, the father of main character Archie Andrews.
On her Instagram story, she wrote: “When someone you love, gets taken from you. And the small circumferences surrounding you is stuck. Frozen in a moment. Of loss. And shock. Yet the people passing you are moving at full speed.
“Did they not feel the earth shake? Or slow? Can they hear the thoughts screaming in my head? His name. His face. Memories. Flashes. Of a friend. A lost friend.”
“We always expect the earth to stand still. For the universe to grieve the loved ones we have lost, along with us.
“But it keeps moving. Maybe as a sign that we should too. The movement of strangers, like a wave taking us with them. (sic)”
Lili concluded her heartbreaking tribute by confessing that in grieving it’s “too hard to give anything”.
The ‘Surviving Jack’ actress also took to twitter to mourn Luke and says that although she is “finding it hard to grasp” that her friend will no longer be around, she is praying for his children Jack and Sophie, who he has with his ex-wife Minnie Sharp.
She wrote: “I’m finding it hard to grasp that he will no longer be around to give long hugs and share his wisdom and kindness with all of us. I’m thinking of his family. His children. I pray for them to heal and find peace in this devastating loss. (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Queen Latifah is standing by Jussie Smollett.
The ‘Empire’ actor has been charged with filing a false police report after claiming he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack in January and after he denied staging the assault, the 48-year-old rapper-and-actress has insisted she will continue to support him until someone can provide “definitive proof” the incident was a hoax.
She said: “The guy I’ve seen has always been someone who cares about people, who cares about others, and who’s very kind and who’s always been cool and sweet.
“And that’s just the guy I know. So until I can see some definitive proof – which I haven’t seen yet – then, you know, I gotta go with him until I see otherwise.”
But the ‘STAR’ actress admitted she doesn’t “know what to make” of the scandal, but she hopes everything works out eventually.
Speaking to Zainab Salbi on Yahoo News’ ‘Through Her Eyes’, she added: “I don’t even know what to make of it.
“All I know is that I hope everything works out in the end and everybody basically comes out unscathed.”
Following Jussie’s arrest, it was revealed his character, Jamal Lyon, would be written out of the final two episodes of season five of ‘Empire’ to prevent further “disruption” to filming.
Producers including Lee Daniels and Danny Strong said in a statement last month: “The events of the past few weeks have been incredibly emotional for all of us. Jussie has been an important member of our ‘Empire’ family for the past five years and we care about him deeply.
“While these allegations are very disturbing, we are placing our trust in the legal system as the process plays out.
“We are also aware of the effects of this process on the cast and crew members who work on our show and to avoid further disruption on set, we have decided to remove the role of ‘Jamal’ from the final two episodes of the season.”
The 36-year-old actor has been praised by his legal team as a “young man of impeccable character” in a statement that hit out at the way the investigation has been handled.
The lawyers said in a statement: “Today we witnessed an organised law enforcement spectacle that has no place in the American legal system.
“The presumption of innocence, a bedrock in the search for justice, was trampled upon at the expense of Mr. Smollett and notably, on the eve of a Mayoral election.
“Mr. Smollett is a young man of impeccable character and integrity who fiercely and solemnly maintains his innocence and feels betrayed by a system that apparently wants to skip due process and proceed directly to sentencing.”

The 62-year-old actor is a Hollywood icon, but his fame is lost on his two granddaughters Olivia, eight, and Charlotte, five, who “don’t care” about his success, or the success of their father Colin Hanks.
Colin – who has his tots with wife Samantha Bryant – said: “They don’t care about him at all. Children are great humblers. They don’t care what you do [or] … what you have done. They just want to do their kid stuff.”
The ‘Life in Pieces’ actor, 41, also revealed Tom acts just like “every other” grandparent when he’s around his family, including giving the girls treats they “shouldn’t be having”.
Speaking to Us Weekly magazine, Colin added: “[The time they spend with Tom is] like every other playdate with a grandparent. The grandparent gives them stuff they shouldn’t be having, and the grandparents don’t listen to what the parents are saying they should be doing.”
Meanwhile, the ‘Toy Story 4’ actor – who is also grandparent to his son Chet’s daughter – previously insisted he and his wife Rita are “the most cool” grandparents.
He said: “When you have grandkids, if you’re with one of them – or all three of them – look, there’s no book, no radio, no TV. You’re going to be entertained by them every moment that you’re there. Sit back and watch the show!”
Whilst Rita added: “We’re the cool grandparents.”
To which Tom replied: “I think [we’re] the most cool.”
The ‘Sully’ star is father to Colin and Elizabeth with his late ex-wife Samantha Lewes, as well as Chet and Truman, whom he has with his wife Rita.

OHMYGOSSIP — Jimmy Osmond won’t let any of his family see him after he suffered a stroke in December.
The 55-year-old singer – who starred alongside four of his brothers in the seventies music group The Osmonds – was taken to hospital after appearing as Captain Hook in a pantomime at the Birmingham Hippodrome, but his brother Merrill Osmond, 65, has admitted none of his family know how well he has recovered because he has shut them out and wants “space”.
Speaking to the Daily Express newspaper, Merrill said: “He’s hurting pretty bad. He’s in the States but doctors won’t even let the family in on it yet.
“The severity of it – none of us know. It’s the way his family wants it. Jimmy has been through a lot and he just wants to be all by himself right now. We’re all giving him space. It’s just his wife and his children with him right now.”
Jimmy – who previously suffered a stroke 15 years ago when he was aged 40 – fell ill on December 27 and his representative said at the time he would be taking “time out” to recover.
His spokesperson said: “On the evening of Thursday 27 December [2018], after pushing through the evening’s performance of Peter Pan at Birmingham Hippodrome, Jimmy Osmond was driven straight to hospital and diagnosed with a stroke.
“He is grateful for all the well wishes and will be taking time out in the new year.”
Jimmy previously admitted that his body was under a lot of “stress” despite no real “warning signs” when it was discovered that the he had suffered a stroke.
Speaking to the Daily Mail he added: “My wife Michelle took me to hospital and it was discovered I’d had a stroke – I didn’t have high cholesterol, high blood pressure or any other warning sign.
“An ultrasound scan showed I had a hole in my heart the size of a pound coin, which had contributed to the stroke because when my body was under stress, it was sending little blood clots up to my brain.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kristoff St. John has been laid to rest.
The ‘Young & the Restless’ actor died at the age of 52 early last month and on Monday (04.03.19) his friends and family, including his beloved dog Brando, gathered at a church in Westlake Village, California, to say their final farewells at a service organised by his ex-wife, Mia St. John.
The funeral included a performance by R&B singer Kenny Lattimore and a slideshow of images of Kristoff, The Blast reports.
However, the actor’s fiancee, Kseniya Mikhaleva, was unable to attend as she was unable to get an emergency visa approved to travel from Moscow, Russia, to the US in time.
The 25-year-old model – who got engaged to Kristoff in September 2018 – admitted her “heart was broken” at missing the service.
She wrote on Instagram: “I want to be with him, his family, and his friends.
“Several weeks ago I applied for an ’emergency’ visa for the funeral to say goodbye my fiancé and beloved. Answer was ‘No.’ My heart is broken.
“I am going through this with a huge pain in my heart, and realize that I don’t have opportunity to say goodbye to him and put flowers on his grave. It is not right, not fair.(sic)”
After the service, the actor was buried at a nearby cemetery next to his son Julian, who took his own life in 2014 at the age of 24.
Kristoff was pronounced dead at his home on February 3 after police responded to calls of a possible alcohol overdose.
An autopsy was performed on the star’s remains, but a cause of death has been deferred until toxicology results are in.
