OHMYGOSSIP — Kaya Scodelario is the face of the new Clash de Cartier jewellery line.
The 27-year-old actress has partnered with the luxury French jewellery house to feature in a series of advertisements for the much-anticipated collection, that that will go on sale worldwide next week.
The line – which explores the concept of duality – features studded and spiked designs, and will be available exclusively at the recently renovated Cartier boutique on Place Vendôme in Paris until April 14, in France.
International marketing and communications director at Cartier, Arnaud Carrez, insisted that the collaboration happened naturally because Kaya represents “multicultural talent”.
He told WWD: “She’s a young talented actress and she has a lot of assertiveness, a lot of interesting character, so we felt she resonates very much with the ‘Clash’ spirit.
“She’s half-Brazilian, half-British, and Cartier being very international, we like this idea of collaborating with multicultural talent.”
The ‘Skins’ star will appear in an exclusive film, directed by Gordon von Steiner, which will be released on April 10 online, across all Cartier digital platforms and in cinemas worldwide.
Carrez added: “It’s not a one-off campaign. Clash will be the key priority story for us for the years to come.”
Sofia Coppola, Annabelle Wallis and Jake Gyllenhaal have also worked with the brand on previous campaigns, and Carrez explained that he hopes to build a long-term relationship with the ‘Maze Runner’ actress.
He continued: “What we love about Kaya is the meeting of two cultures: a Latin American raised in England.
“Kaya cultivates two facets of the same energy in a stylish balancing act, a creative duel between serious and quirky. Like the Clash de Cartier collection, the actress combines the aristocratic codes with a touch of irreverence and elegance.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Liam Gallagher’s clothing brand Pretty Green has been sold to JD Sports.
The former Oasis singer – who founded the brand, which is known for selling styles of his signature parka jackets, in 2009 – has been sold to the high street fashion chain after it went into administration earlier this week.
Executive chairman of JD Sports, Peter Cowgill said: “We are pleased to have completed the acquisition of the highly regarded Pretty Green brand. We look forward to working with the team on future positive developments.”
The £4.8 billion sportswear seller has bought the brand – which was named after a song by Paul Weller’s former band The Jam – as well as its wholesale operations and flagship store in Manchester.
Pretty Green is believed to have taken a £500,000 hit from the collapse of House of Fraser, which fell into administration last year, and subsequently 11 other stores and 33 concessions in the British department chain are set to cease trading, which will put 97 jobs at risk.
The partner at administrators Moorfields, Simon Thomas, insisted that the JD is “confident” they can make Pretty Green thrive and “grow” both its “online and wholesale channels”.
He added: “Pretty Green is a popular brand and received a considerable amount of interest. We are confident that JD Sports is the right fit for the business and will help to grow its online and wholesale channels.”
When financial troubles emerged last month, Liam, 46, simply tweeted: “As long as we’ve got our health eh gotta put things into perspective as you were PG I mean LG x (sic)”
Liam’s estranged brother Noel Gallagher previously mocked his younger sibling about his clothing brand, claiming he didn’t need the money that an Oasis reunion would generate because he “must be loaded” due to the fact that he sees so many of his fans dressed head-to-toe in garments from Liam’s label.
The 51-year-old guitarist said: “Kids with their dads, all of them dressed in Pretty Green, I was saying to my mam, ‘F***ing hell, why does he want to get Oasis back together, he must be loaded.’ Every **** in a parka, every f***er in a parka, the middle of the summer, hat on, four pairs of sunglasses.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Zara Larsson doesn’t filter all the photos she posts on social media because she wants her fans to see what she really looks like and realise she has imperfections just like them.
The 21-year-old singer tries to be a “good role model” to her young female fans by not altering her pictures because she wants girls to be aware that celebrities are just normal people with flaws too.
In an interview with NET-A-PORTER’s digital magazine PorterEdit, Zara said: “[It] is a great way of being a good role model – to show imperfections and not FaceTune all my pictures, because that’s not how I look. I want to be that, but at the same time, I’m also just a living woman in this world and even though I’m a role model for some people who might follow me, I’m affected by the standards of how a woman ‘should’ look like, what a woman ‘should’ do.”
The ‘I Would Like’ hitmaker insists all women feel under pressure to look perfect all the time and she admits she won’t take selfies with fans without any make-up on because she suffers from zit breakouts
Zara – who is in a relationship with British model Brian H. Whittaker, who she first met via social media – said: “Growing up as a woman in general, I think you are pressured to fit into [a certain look]. I had a hair stylist ask me, ‘When you walk out on the street and you have people recognising you, do you ever go out without make-up?’
“And I do, but honestly, when he asked that, I realised that I would feel very uncomfortable taking a picture without make-up because I don’t feel like I have good skin and I don’t want to disappoint someone by looking ugly if they take a picture with me.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Maisie Williams wants to see “Sansa Stark” rule Westeros in ‘Game of Thrones’.
The 21-year-old actress – who plays assassin Arya Stark in the HBO fantasy series – has revealed that she would like to see her best friend and co-star Sophie Turner (Sansa) win the iron throne, in the eighth and final season.
Speaking to ‘Extra’ at the ‘Game of Thrones’ premiere in New York about who she’d like to rule Westeros, Maisie replied: “Sansa Stark!”
And ‘The Falling’ star insisted that she would be an “incredible ruler” because Sansa has “learned so much” throughout her journey in the show’s story, and also because Sophie is “f***ing beautiful”.
She added: “I think she’d be an incredible ruler. And I think that she’s, like, so true and so honest and she’s, like, learned so much and I think that she’d be an incredible ruler of Westeros. And also, like, Sophie’s f***ing beautiful.”
Maisie previously admitted that she sat down with her mother one evening before she received her scripts for her final episodes and they wrote down what they both expected to happen in the last six episodes, but neither of them made the right calls.
She recalled: “I said, ‘Let’s predict the final series. You call who you think is going to be alive and who you think is going to be dead. So will I.’ And we did. And we were both wrong.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Seth Rogen says Charlize Theron took control when they filmed their sex scene for ‘Long Shot’.
The 36-year-old actor stars in the new romantic-comedy with the 43-year-old actress and says when they shot their love scene together, he let the stunning South African starlet take lead and control the racy proceedings.
Seth appeared on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ on Thursday night (04.04.19) and said: “It’s a brief love making scene and the joke of the scene is that we both orgasm in a very short amount of time which for me which is very believable, I think!
“And she kept claiming it was possible! And you don’t want to bring too much to these arguments. Who am I to tell her (how to do) her thing? Everything you say is your own personal stuff, so it is just only humiliating to suggest anything.
“But I was like maybe I would be on the bottom first in a situation like this… and she was like, ‘No! I’m on the bottom I’m on the top, this is how this goes down! And I was just like, ‘Whatever the hell you say. I’m sure you know better than I do. I will do what you like!”
‘Long Shot’ – which is directed by Jonathan Levine – tells the story of how Fred Flarsky (Seth) reunites with his first crush, his former babysitter Charlotte (Charlize), who is running for President.
And while they shared an awkward scene, the ‘SuperBad’ actor loved working with Charlize and described her as “unfairly” being blessed with beauty, talent and a “cool” personality.
He said: “She is objectively lovable! She is cool and she is beautiful and she is outrageously talented, far more talented than I am. And it seems like she has been given an unfair amount of attributes, but that is what happens sometimes I guess.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Tulisa will return with her first new music in three years on Friday (05.04.19).
The former N-Dubz star recently resigned with record label Xploded Music and is set to release her comeback single ‘Daddy’, the follow-up to 2016’s ‘Sweet Like Chocolate’ with WSTRN’s Akelle.
The former ‘X Factor’ judge took to Instagram on Thursday morning (04.04.19) to share a sultry teaser of the promo for her new song.
She captioned the post: “05.04.19 #Daddy.”
Tulisa has admitted that she had “lost [her] way” with music as she was writing songs for “other people”.
However, after taking a hiatus from the studio, she found that making music is most “important’ to her.
She said: “I lost my way for a while trying to make music for other people or what I think people wanted to hear.
“I took some time out of the spotlight to refocus on what is important to me, and that’s music.”
The ‘Young’ hitmaker also teased that she has a number of tracks already in the bag and that her new music will be a return to her “roots”.
She added to the Metro newspaper: “I’ve spent a lot of time in the studio writing and recording new music, and now I have many new tracks ready to go.
“Now it’s all about putting out music that I love and that is true to myself.
“These songs are a return to my roots and if you happen to like them then brilliant.”
During her downtime, the 30-year-old singer has embarked on a career as an actress and has recently been filming the British movie ‘Diva’, in which she portrays Sista C, a singer who is left devastated when her sister is killed by a gang.
Tulisa shot to fame in N-Dubz, which was also comprised of Dappy and Fazer, in 2000, but they decided to go their separate ways in 2011 to focus on their respective solo careers.
The London-born star released her debut solo album ‘The Female Boss’ in 2012.

OHMYGOSSIP — EastEnders’ Karen Taylor and Patrick Trueman could be set to hook up – if Lorraine Stanley has her way.
The ‘Legend’ actress is keen for her motormouth character and rum-loving Patrick (Rudolph Walker) to get drunk on the spirit and then get up close and personal while throwing some serious shapes – and she has discussed the possibility with the former ‘Love Thy Neighbour’ actor.
When asked who she would like Karen to have a surprise affair with, she said: “It would have to be Patrick Trueman – that would be a shocker.
“He and Karen would share a drop of rum, then she’d have a little dance with him, show off her moves.
“I’ve joked about it with Rudolph and he just laughs.
“He’s such a lovely man – I adore him.”
While Lorraine thinks Karen would like to tango with Patrick, she was more into ‘Neighbours’ stars when she was younger, admitting she had the hots for Jason Donovan and Guy Pearce.
Quizzed on her previous celebrity crushes, she told Inside Soap magazine: “I actually had a few. I think when I used to watch ‘Neighbours’ it was Guy Pearce and Jason Donovan.
“I also fancied the boy out of ‘The Karate Kid’ [Ralph Macchio] – I had a major crush on him.”
But Lorraine has previously admitted she wouldn’t mind Karen “having a go on” ‘EastEnders’ bad boy Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) – or even hapless club worker Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick).
She said: “She likes a bad boy. I’ve always said she might have a bit of a thing for Phil actually.
“Perhaps if something were to happen between Sharon and Keanu, Karen could have a go on Phil to get back at Sharon.
“I can see Karen with Billy, as well – but she would just wind him up, wouldn’t she?”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kit Harington and Rose Leslie were “tethered” by ‘Game of Thrones’.
The 32-year-old actor – who plays King in the North Jon Snow in the HBO series – met his now-wife when she played wildling Ygritte in the fantasy drama and they have enjoyed the special connection they have to the programme.
Speaking at the season eight premiere in New York City on Wednesday (03.04.19), Kit said: “I said to Rose the other night, I was like, ‘We’ve been tethered by this show, a long time we’ve loved it.’ And now we get to enjoy the final hurrah.”
While the final episodes of the show haven’t yet aired, Kit already feels like it’s in the past because he and his castmates said “goodbye” to that chapter in their lives once filming ended.
He told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “It, in some ways, has ended for us. When we finished filming, we said goodbye to it, so this sort of feels like an added bonus that we get to watch it and celebrate it now.”
At the weekend, the ‘Pompeii’ actor will guest host ‘Saturday Night Live’ and he admitted it’s a “dream come true” to star on the iconic comedy series.
He said: “It’s brilliant. That’s a dream come true.
“I could hear the crowd of people cheering the final season of my show while I was doing the read through for ‘SNL’. That was a bizarre moment for me.”
However, his on-screen sisters Maisie WIlliams and Sophie Turner joked they’ll only be tuning in to see how terribly their friend does on the show.
Maisie said: “Oh my god, Kit’s like, not funny, so it’s gonna be hilarious. We want to go and boo him…
“I’m sure he’s gonna be great. He’s gonna be wonderful.”
Sophie added: “I think he’s gonna do terribly. He’s not funny, he’s not smart. I think he’s gonna be terrible!
“No, I’m kidding. He’s gonna kill it. I’m so excited to see it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Andy Cohen was “drunk” on his first date since becoming a father.
The ‘Watch What Happens Live’ host – who welcomed son Benjamin into the world via a surrogate in February – admitted he was “super buzzed” when he met up with Howard Stern’s staff writer Chris Wilding, which led to their “sloppy” night out together being cut short.
Appearing on Howard’s Sirius XM show, Andy admitted: “I was super buzzed when I showed up,” the 50-year-old reality mogul said, explaining that he’d had dinner with a friend. “I had two tequilas, I had a little bit of an edible.”
Chris confirmed: “I didn’t expect him to be so drunk. He was looking off into the ether … he was zoning.
“The date was just a little sloppy.”
The 50-year-old presenter realised he needed to leave before the evening went “off the rails” – but he ended up running into a glass door.
He said: “I felt like I was checking myself. I actually felt tipsy at that point.
“I was like, ‘I need to remove myself before this goes off the rails.’ Clearly, in your mind, it had already gone off the rails but I was actually trying to protect myself at that point.
“It was bad. I was not happy about it. I raced into the Lyft from there. I was embarrassed…
“I don’t want to sit here and defend having tequilas on an empty stomach. It’s not necessarily the greatest moment in my life.”
But while Andy didn’t make the best impression on Chris, he insisted he hadn’t gone into their meeting looking for love – and even offered to play matchmaker between the writer and his masseuse.
He said: “I said to him right at the beginning, ‘I am here because I want to be your friend.’ I was upfront.
“I clearly went into this with a different feeling than Chris did.”
“I set you up with someone who I thought was a great catch, and I still do!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Prince Harry has called for Fortnite to be banned.
The 34-year-old royal – who is expecting his first child with wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex – has declared the game “so irresponsible” because children are growing “addicted” to it and parents feel out of their depth.
He said: “A game like Fortnite for instance may not be so good for children. Parents have got their hands up; they don’t know what to do about it. .
“It’s like waiting for the damage to be done and kids turning up on your doorsteps and families being broken down. Fortnite shouldn’t be allowed. Where is the benefit in having that game in your household?
“It’s created to addict – an addiction to keep you in front of a computer for as long as possible. It’s so irresponsible.”
And in the same week Harry and Meghan launched their own official Instagram account, the prince branded social media “dangerous” because it is “more addictive than drugs and alcohol”.
Speaking during a visit to the YMCA in south Ealing, west London on Wednesday (03.04.19), where he met with charity representatives from organisations including Young Minds and Stonewall, he said: “There’s too much negativity surrounding mental health and it must be so hard for young people to talk about it.
“Social media is more addictive than drugs and alcohol, and it’s more dangerous because it’s normalised and there are no restrictions to it.
“We are in quite a mind-altering time, but quite an exciting time, because everyone in this room has the opportunity to make a real difference.”
Harry also called for further progress in “normalising the conversation” around mental health.
Alongside a selection of images from his visit shared to his Instagram account, he was quoted as saying: “There continues to be huge progress in smashing the stigma that surrounds mental health, but let’s keep normalising the conversation.
“‘Let’s keep reminding each other that it’s okay to not be okay, and to listen to each other. “After all, how we think determines how we act, how we feel, and how we treat ourselves and those around us.”

The ‘Toxic’ hitmaker has reportedly sought treatment as an in-patient after becoming “distraught” over her father and conservator Jamie Spears’ ongoing health battle, and her decision has been praised by Kevin Federline – the father of her sons Sean Preston, 13, and 12-year-old Jayden – who hopes the whole family are back on the right track soon.

In January, she announced she was putting her Vegas run of ‘Britney: Domination’ at the Park MGM resort on hold until further notice due to her dad’s health, which has seen him undergo two major surgeries after his colon ruptured in November.

The 25-year-old star has played Chesney Brown on the ITV soap since 2003, and Kym Marsh says she and her ‘Corrie’ co-stars often call him by his character’s name off-set, and that was no different when some of the lads were planning pranks ahead of his recent stag do.
