OHMYGOSSIP — Eminem has “always been chasing” the success of ‘The Marshall Mathers LP’.
The 46-year-old rapper released the album – which was self-titled as his real name is Marshall Mathers – back in 2000 and enjoy chart success, and has now admitted he’s been trying to recreate that creative streak on every album he’s released since then.
Speaking in a new virtual reality interview titled ‘Marshall From Detroit’ – which is available to view on Oculus Go, Rift and Gear VR devices – he said: “I’m gonna keep it 100 percent honest: I feel like, and I’ve felt like this for a long time – I’ve always been chasing ‘The Marshall Mathers LP’. Because I know that captured a moment, you know what I’m saying? It’s kind of like a time capsule, when I look back at it. The times that it was back then and the turmoil in my life that was happening.”
But the ‘Real Slim Shady’ hitmaker isn’t sure he’ll ever get that sound back, because he was “spiralling out of control” at the time, and he no longer has the “rage” he used to have.
He added: “S**t was happening so fast and spiralling out of control. I had a lot of rage. When people say they miss the old Eminem, I feel like it’s probably that. You miss the rage. I don’t have the rage anymore that I used to have but I still have the exact same passion. Sometimes it doesn’t always come out the right way, and it’s like: ‘What the f**k is that? Take a pause, man.’
Eminem also doesn’t know if his releases would do as well these days because there’s so many other “great rappers” in the industry.
The ‘Stan’ rapper said: “I don’t know who I’m competing with, but I just wanna be… there’s a lot of great rappers and artists coming up in this generation now. And I’m watching it, and I’m loving it, and the competitive spirit in me wants to keep up with the best of the best.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Queen + Adam Lambert are set to star in a new documentary.
The ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ hitmakers and the ‘American Idol’ star – who joined forces with Queen back in 2011, filling in for late vocalist Freddie Mercury – embarked on a successful worldwide tour from 2014 to 2018, and that journey is now set to be documented in film in a new two-hour documentary called ‘The Show Must Go On’.
Adam tweeted on Monday (25.02.19): “So excited about our documentary “The Show Must Go On – The Queen + Adam Lambert Story” airing on @ABCNetwork on April 29th!! @QueenWillRock (sic)”
The announcement comes after the group recently performed at the Oscars, and Adam also took to social media to praise Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor as “legends”.
In another tweet, he wrote: “Truly an honor to continue performing alongside these two legends after 7 years. You’ve changed my life! Im honored to help keep your songs exist as live entertainment! I love u Freddie! @DrBrianMay @OfficialRMT @QueenWillRock (sic)”
The documentary is set to air on ABC in April, and will feature behind-the-scenes concert footage dating back to their first shows in 2011, as well as a string of interviews with Brian, Roger, and Rami Malek, who won the Best Actor Oscar over the weekend for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury in the ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ biopic.
Meanwhile, Adam recently revealed that while speaking with the band, they allegedly told him that they believe that if Freddie was still alive, the two of them would have gotten on well.
They were apparently recalling to Adam about how Freddie had a “dry” sense of humour, and would sometimes pull pranks backstage while on tour, and told him that if the duo had been able to meet, they would have gotten “a kick” out of each other.

The ‘Fancy’ hitmaker posted defiant message to her critics this week as she insisted she will keep on enjoying herself whether people like or or not.
Taking to social media, she tweeted: “The only time I wanna cry from happiness is when I’m making music & being creative; so people can count me out all they want but I won’t enjoy myself any less.”
The message comes just days after Iggy opened up about how a fear of rejection gives her anxiety.
In a series of posts on Twitter, she wrote: “Over the years I’ve become a lil self conscious about reaching out to ppl I don’t know personally to collaborate or simply just compliment them because I feel so paranoid they’ll be like ‘Gross, I hate her’ but recently I’ve started to push past my anxiety and just ASK! …
“Not letting my anxiety about potentially feeling rejected by people I’m a fan of stop me from trying my luck and reaching out to them has already lead to tons of new creative people around me for this era. I’m really excited about that. (sic)”
Meanwhile, Iggy treated her passionate fanbase earlier this month when she cast 20 of her followers in her upcoming music video.
She wrote online: “Hey everyone who sent in their info for our extras casting, be on the look out Monday for an email confirming you.
“It been so hard to pick only 20 out of hundreds of awesome people. Thanks to everyone that offered your time & support! (sic)”

The 30-year-old actress was one of the guests at the exclusive bash which took place following the 91st Academy Awards on Sunday night (24.02.19) and was held in a custom-built space between the Wallis Annenberg Center and Beverly Hills City Hall and was hosted by Vanity Fair editor Radhika Jones.
Zoe arrived in a sheer gold bra from the Tiffany & Co. Elsa Peretti collection and is worth $24,000.
The ‘Big Little Lies’ star paired the skimpy top with a long-line black Saint Laurent skirt as well as five platinum bracelets with diamonds ranging in value from $15,000 to $55,000 paired with three platinum rings covered in diamonds.
Zoe wasn’t the only one to don jewellery from the prestigious brand at the glamorous event and Lady Gaga wore a diamond worn by Audrey Hepburn in ‘Breakfast At Tiffany’s’.
The ‘A Star is Born’ actress – who was nominated for Best Actress and won Best Original Song for the track ‘Shallow’ from the film – accessorised her black Alexander McQueen outfit with a 141-year-old, 128.54 carat yellow diamond from Tiffany, which was last worn over 50 years ago in a promotional photo shoot for the 1961 movie by the iconic late actress, and the prestigious jewellers were “thrilled” to see it round her neck.
Reed Krakoff, Tiffany & Co. chief artistic officer, said in a statement: “Lady Gaga is the ultimate creator, innovator and rule breaker, and I’m thrilled that she will be wearing the legendary Tiffany Diamond on the awards show red carpet for the first time since it was discovered 141 years ago.”
Gaga’s stylists, Sandra Amador and Tom Eerebout, based her entire look around her jewellery.
Speaking to Vogue.com, they said: “For the Oscars we turned to designers who we have had a history with and who we consider as family. The creative process then really began with the jewellery in mind.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Kardashian West stepped out wearing a custom Thierry Mugler dress for his new exhibition opening on Monday night (25.02.19).
The ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star donned a sheer lavender gown with a plastic gold bodice by the French fashion designer, before changing into a structured white mini dress to celebrate the Thierry Mugler exhibition opening at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in Canada.
Speaking about her look on Twitter, Kim wrote: “You know that mood when you’re really feeling your look.”
Kim’s Greek goddess inspired look comes days after the star wore a daring cut out black gown at the Hollywood Beauty Awards last week (17.02.19) from Mugler’s prestigious 1998 archive.
The KKW beauty mogul previously took to Twitter after a fast fashion website advertised a version of the one-of-a-kind vintage dress and explained the “devastating” effect the retailers have on couturiers.
She tweeted: “Only two days ago, I was privileged enough to wear a one-of-a-kind vintage Mugler dress and in less than 24 hours it was knocked off and thrown up on a site – but it’s not for sale.
“You have to sign up for a waiting list because the dress hasn’t even been made to sell yet. This is a way to get people to sign up for their mailing list and make people believe there is some kind of relationship between me and this fashion site. There is not.
“It’s devastating to see these fashion companies rip off designs that have taken the blood, sweat and tears of true designers who have put their all into their own original ideas.
“I’ve watched these companies profit off my husband’s work for years and now that it’s also affecting designers who have been so generous to give me access to their beautiful works, I can no longer sit silent.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dan Whiston thinks the upcoming ‘Dancing On Ice’ semi-final will be the “best” the show has ever seen.
The 47-year-old skater – who serves as creative director on the competition – can’t wait to see the “drama” unfold at the weekend because the standard set by remaining celebrity contestants James Jordan, Wes Nelson, Brian McFadden and Saara Aalto and their professional partners has been so high.
He said in his weekly Mirror Online column: “I can’t wait to see what drama the semi-final brings especially knowing some of the things being planned by our skating stars. I think it will be our best semi-final show of any series!”
Last weekend saw Melody Thornton and Alexander Demetriou voted off after competing in the skate-off against Saara and her partner Hamish Gaman, and Dan has praised the former ‘X Factor’ contestant for always responding well to criticism from the judges.
He said: “Melody and Saara put on such amazing performances in the skate-off that the judges had an extremely hard decision to make but in the end they chose to save Saara…
“Saara and her partner Hamish were criticised by the judges for playing it a bit too safe [in their main performance]. One thing I really like about Saara, is she always takes onboard all the judges comments and works hard to improve every week.”
The Judge’s Challenge on last weekend’s show was an unassisted jump and the skating expert admitted all of the celebrities found it tough.
He said: “This week our celebrities were skating for a place in the semi-final so everyone went full out to impress the judges. They were set the challenge of putting jumps into their routines, which had most of them in a bit of a tail spin.”
Dan joined a number of the show’s professionals for a group performance and though he enjoyed being on the ice, he was left in pain afterwards.
He admitted: “I loved getting my skates back on and joining the professionals for a group performance that I choreographed. It was a really full-on routine that ended with me being flipped backwards…..I think I might need to borrow Brian McFadden’s back brace for a few days to help me recover!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Glastonbury Festival will be allowed to increase its capacity to 210,000.
Organisers for the legendary Worthy Farm event – which will take place June 26-30 in Somerset, South West England – has been given permission to expand by another 7,000 people after it argued it would help keep the ticket cost at £253.
The Mendip District Council has given the green light for the expansion, providing that the extra punters all travel by public transportation.
The growth wouldn’t be in place in time for this summer’s event, however.
A spokesperson for MDC said “We have been advised there will be no increase in 2019, but acknowledge the licence does allow an increase.”
Meanwhile, on its website the organisation states it has “a good working relationship with the festival organisers and all of the partners involved in the running of the event, which is what helps to make it one of the best music festivals in the world”.
The exciting news comes after Emily Eavis – who curates the line-up with her father, Michael Eavis – admitted she “doesn’t know” how much longer the festival will be around for.
She previously said: “I don’t know if it will be going that long.
“There are so many factors its dependent on. We’re reliant on good feeling and where people help us out.
“The location of it means we are using 20 different farms’ land so we have to maintain relationships with people and we have to take over their land. The fact that it’s a farm, the fact that there is extreme weather. There are so many things.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Timbaland has sold his Florida mansion for $1.8 million – almost $2.7 million less than it’s original list price.
The 46-year-old music producer – whose real name is Timothy Mosley – originally put the seven-bedroom, eight-bathroom property on the market for $4.49 million in 2017 but gradually reduced the asking price and it’s now been snapped up by New Era Investment Properties, The Blast reports.
Timbaland originally bought the house for £3.475 million in 2004 with estranged wife Monique Mosley, the mother of his 11-year-old child Reign.
The lavish pad also features a full game room, formal dining room, home theatre, aquarium, three-car garage, tropical pool area and a covered BBQ area, as well as a tennis court, which is shared with a neighbouring property.
After initially struggling to sell the property, the ‘Way I Are’ hitmaker rented out the house to a man named William Zamora, but his tenant caused him some problems and major expense.
The man allegedly refused to leave the house, prompting the producer to get police involved and launch legal action.
The ‘Apologize’ star accused Zamora of “breaking through the gate” of his plush abode and “stealing mail from the home.”
In the court documents, the producer claimed TVs, mattresses, nightstands, bed frames, bar stools, dishes, glasses, pot, pans, chairs, tables, gym equipment and various other items had been snatched from the property.
Timbaland is still trying to get back $100,000 from the man, plus damages he caused to the property, as part of Zamora’s ongoing bankruptcy proceedings.

OHMYGOSSIP — Tori Spelling’s mother Candy doesn’t want her daughter to have more children.
The former ‘Beverly Hills, 90210’ star has made no secret of the fact she would love to have a sixth child with her husband Dean McDermott.
However, Candy, 73 – who is already grandmother to Liam, 11, Stella, 10, Hattie, 7, Finn, 6, and 12-month-old Beau – isn’t keen on the idea of the couple’s brood expanding.
She told HollywoodLife: “I just hope that she quits having kids, already.
Asked if she is trying for another baby, she replied: “She hasn’t told me, but you know she’s really considering it.”
Although Candy doesn’t want Tori to have another child, she is “so proud” of her well “behaved” brood.
She said: “But they are so cute and they are the best behaved children.
“I am always so proud when I go out for dinner with them. We go out every Sunday night as a family.”
And the author – who is also grandmother to her son Randy’s six-year-old daughter Lotus – heaped praise on Tori and Dean’s parenting skills.
She said: “I don’t know how she has made it happen, but I think it’s because she does a lot with them and so does Dean.
“They are great parents, they are both very present all the time and it’s the consistency and presence that makes all the difference.”
Tori previously joked she is a fan of ‘The Brady Bunch’ and “even numbers”, and that their family could grow in the future.
Speaking previously said: “I do like even numbers and I was always a big fan of The Brady Bunch.
“So three boys, three girls would be ideal. But we’re blessed and you know, who knows?”
Although Tori wouldn’t rule out more kids, she was quick to explain that they haven’t planned any of her previous pregnancies, instead choosing to leave it to fate.
She added: “We’re both believers, none of our kids are actually planned. So we’re believers that they choose us and when the time is right, it’s right. If not, we’re definitely blessed.”
Meanwhile, Tori previously admitted the only struggles she has with five children is when her house is too quiet.
She said: “The only time I put my hands up and say, ‘I can’t cope’ is when it’s too quiet.
“I grew up with just my brother in a very loving but quiet, structured home. I would look at other people and think, ‘I wish I had a big family’. I would long for it. But now I’ve created my own. We have our own in-built parties and playdates.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dolly Parton has joked her desire to stay looking young has “really aged” her plastic surgeons.

In an interview on UK TV show ‘This Morning’ on Tuesday (26.02.19), she said: “There’s no secret. People say, ‘You look so young,’ and I say, ‘Yes, but I have really aged my plastic surgeons. I always say it’s good lighting, good make-up a good doctor!”

OHMYGOSSIP — John Cena has called Roman Reigns a real life superhero for the way he has handled his cancer battle.
The WWE superstar turned actor has heaped praise on his fellow former world champion after Roman, 33, announced on Monday night (25.02.19) that his cancer is in remission just four months after he revealed he was battling leukaemia.
Cena took to social media following the news, and tweeted: “Real superheroes exist. Back and with strength and purpose! It’s your yard Roman. Your time is most certainly NOW!”
Roman made his highly anticipated return to WWE on ‘RAW’ this week to give a public update on his health, and he admitted on Tuesday (26.02.19) he was “so nervous” about addressing the fans.
He told ‘Good Morning America’: “I just knew in my head that this journey isn’t going to be complete until I can step back in the ring and address my fans. They were just so gentle with me, so gracious, they sent me such love.”
Addressing the crowd, Roman – who had already battled the disease once before 11 years ago – announced he had overcome it for a second time.
Speaking to an overjoyed audience – who chanted “welcome back” and left the star clearly emotional with their response – he said: “I said I was going to swing for the fences. We did better than that y’all. We didn’t just swing for the fences man, we hit a home run.
“When I tell you this I’m so grateful, I’m so humbled and so honoured to announce this … the good news is, I’m in remission. With that being said, the ‘Big Dog’ is back!”
In October, the former Universal Champion – whose real name is Leati Joseph Anoaʻi -gave up the title as he delivered a devastating speech on TV show ‘RAW’ to reveal his sad news.
He said: “I feel like I owe everyone an apology. For months, maybe even a whole year, I’ve come out here as Roman Reigns and said I’d come out here every week, that I’d be a fighting champion, that I was going to be consistent, that I was going to be a workhorse – but that’s all lies.
“It’s a lie because the reality is, my real name is Joe and I’ve been living with leukaemia for 11 years and unfortunately it’s back.”
However, at the time he vowed he would make a return – and just four months later he proved true to his word.

OHMYGOSSIP — David Walliams has a new dog.
The ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ judge – who has five-year-old son Alfred with ex-wife Lara Stone – revealed on his Instagram account that he’s added to his family with a “baby brother” for his beloved border terrier Bert, and in honour of the classic double act from ‘Sesame Street’, he’s named the new pup Ernie.
David shared a photo of himself cuddling both dogs alongside the caption: “Bert has a baby brother. Meet Ernie.”
He later shared another picture of just himself and Ernie and declared himself to be “in love” with the pup.
The 47-year-old star also treated fans to a short video of the tiny pooch snoozing while he stroked his new furry friend, with David’s hand almost as big as Ernie.
He captioned the clip: “Ernie lying next to me.”
While the children’s author and his ex-wife keep their son out of the spotlight, David regularly posts pictures of Bert, so is likely to do the same with Ernie.
He recently marked Valentine’s Day (14.02.19) with a selfie in which he wore a red shirt while cuddling Bert, alongside the caption: “Happy Valentine’s Day. xxx”
Last year, David spent Christmas Day (25.12.18) visiting young patients at The Children’s Trust – which helps children with brain injuries – but admitted they were more interested in spending time with Bert than him.
He shared a series of pictures from his visit and wrote: “Me & Bert paid a visit to the brilliant @childrens_trust today. Bert was of course the star attraction.(sic)”
Meanwhile, the ‘Midnight Gang’ star recently hinted he could be leaving ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ at the end of the next series.
Asked if he’ll be back for the 2019 series, he said in December: “Yes. I have one more year, and then my contract is up. [After that?] We shall see.”
