Michael B. Jordan for Journal for Jordan?

OHMYGOSSIP — Michael B. Jordan is in talks to star in ‘Journal for Jordan’.
The 32-year-old actor is reportedly in discussions to take on a key role in the drama movie, which will be directed by Hollywood great Denzel Washington.
Oscar-nominated screenwriter Virgil Williams has penned the script, which is based on the true story of Dana Canedy, the Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, and how she fell in love with Sergeant Charles Monroe King. The script is informed by King’s journals, which he had penned for the couple’s newborn son, Jordan. King had wrote these whilst he was deployed overseas and whilst he sadly died whilst on active duty in Iraq in 2006, his messages of hope continue to live on through his letters.
Jordan will help to produce the film under his Outlier Society banner whilst Washington will also produce, alongside Escape Artist’s Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal and Steve Tisch.
Michael B. Jordan is best known recently for his role in ‘Black Panther’, as well as key roles in the Rocky spin-off movies ‘Creed’ but he admits he still isn’t “comfortable” with his fame.
He shared: “Navigating and learning how to deal with this s**t, there’s nobody that really helped me. I’m not comfortable yet because the people around me aren’t comfortable, either, and it’s like I gotta get to a place where I’m like, ‘All right, the thing is moving on its own. The machine is running,’ you know what I’m saying?
“Once it starts to roll on its own, I can kinda start to live my life a little bit more, and that’s the sacrifice that people don’t really get. These people you see with these legacies, they don’t ever talk about what they sacrificed to get there. People think these things just happen. It’s not like that. They give up so much of their personal life, their love life, whatever, this, that, and personal things.”

Kendra Wilkinson officially divorced

OHMYGOSSIP — Kendra Wilkinson is officially divorced.
The 33-year-old television personality has finalised her divorce from former NFL star Hank Baskett – with whom she has son Hank IV, nine, and daughter Alijah, four – after almost a decade of marriage, and almost one year after she first filed for divorce in April 2018.
According to TMZ, the former couple filed documents in January to officially terminate their marriage, and had the papers passed by the courts after their previous two attempts were rejected after they made clerical errors in the filings.
The publication reports they will be sharing joint custody of both their children, and will split most of their property down the middle for an equal split.
For the ‘Kendra On Top’ star – who married Hank in 2009 – the finalisation of her divorce comes after she suffered with her mental health following the split, but recently revealed she is “enjoying life again” and has been “bonding more than ever” with her brood.
She wrote on social media: “The depression is gone finally. Back in the light and feels good. I’m living a whole new life, very different but the kids and I are bonding more than ever. Have had to work extra hard to find stable grounds but we did it and back enjoying life again. Sometimes things happen for a reason. Ya know… (sic)”
Kendra confirmed their break-up in April last year, with a series of videos on her Instagram Stories, where she confirmed the pair had called time on their nine-year marriage.
In the videos, Kendra could be seen crying as she said: “Ten years. I did everything I could. It wasn’t good enough. I will always love him. My heart will always remain open for him. I believed in forever. I really did. Guess it’s just not meant to be. I’m so scared. I have to get strong for my kids.”

Jodie Comer almost choked to death eating pasta on Killing Eve set

OHMYGOSSIP — Jodie Comer had a near-death experience after choking on pasta on the set of ‘Killing Eve’.
The 25-year-old actress plays killer Villanelle in the hit crime drama series – which is set to return with a second season in the coming months – opposite Sandra Oh as MI5 detective Eve Polastri, and she has revealed that the scene where the pair are ferociously throwing the Italian meal down their throats after having a face-off almost ended in a real-life fatality.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Jodie recalled: “She’s playing it up, being her usual childish self, and the pasta was extremely dry.
“And it was extremely thick.
“I was shovelling it in, and then it just shot down my throat and then I was full-on choking.
“They must have it on camera — a medic came in and managed to get it out, but my life definitely flashed before me … I just remember being opposite the other actor and looking at him, and he thought I was making a weird acting choice.
“So yeah, it’s ruined pasta for me completely.”
She added that her brother joked: “I love this. Of all the things that could have killed Villanelle, it was a mouthful of pasta.”
After the first season’s huge success, attention is now turning to the second instalment, and Jodie recently hinted that viewers will find out more about her mysterious character.
She teased: “People’s questions about Villanelle are always: does she have emotions; does she have morals?
“You know, we have these glimpses of her maybe feeling something, but what is it? What is it that we don’t know?
“That’s definitely something that we’ve explored in series two, whether she is battling with her conscience – what’s under there?”
Meanwhile, Jodie previously revealed that doing “silly things” while filming helped her to become less insecure as the quirky killer.
She said: “I can be very self-conscious and I learned to drop that. If there was something silly I did in a scene, I’d be caring too much about what other people thought. The longer we went on the more free I felt.”

Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash expecting first child

OHMYGOSSIP — Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash are expecting their first child together.
The ‘Loose Women’ panelist and the 37-year-old television presenter have confirmed they are expecting a baby in a sweet post on social media.
Joe wrote on Twitter: “Have been driving myself mad thinking that she’s bored senseless of me and can’t stand to be awake for longer than 10 minutes of my company … So you can imagine my delight to find out that she still loves me and my company very much she’s just been growing a baby.”
Whilst Stacey shared his post and added the message: “Words aren’t working for me right now so ditto @realjoeswash,” alongside a yellow heart emoji.
Joe is overjoyed by the news and he is “really happy” to be starting a family with Stacey.
He said: “I didn’t know I had it in me. I’m really happy, we’re excited. I know [when she’s due] but I can’t say.”
And asked if his girlfriend was suffering from dreaded morning sickness, he added whilst making an appearance on ‘Good Morning Britain’: “She’s all good, she’s excited.”
Stacey and Joe have been dating since 2016 but she recently insisted she “doesn’t need a marriage certificate” to prove her love for the former ‘EastEnders’ actor.
She shared: “In my opinion, if you’re religious or you have real ties to marriage and it really means something to you, I get that, and it takes you to another level spiritually or however way you look at it, but I think for me and Joe for example, I honestly wouldn’t see any difference in our love for each other whether we have a marriage certificate or not. I’d love to have a ceremony where we [Stacey and Joe] celebrate our love, I’m not extremely excited or really feel the need to have a marriage certificate and that’s what marriage is to me. See, I don’t think that marriage makes us a unit because you can get a divorce. To me a unit is a family, its love which is present with or without a piece of paper in my opinion.”
Stacey already has sons Zachary, 10, and Leighton, six, whilst Joe is a proud father to Harry, 11, with all three kids from the pair’s previous relationships.

Jussie Smollett maintains innocence to castmates

OHMYGOSSIP — Jussie Smollett insisted he is innocent in a tearful meeting with his ‘Empire’ co-stars.
The 36-year-old actor has been accused of orchestrating an apparent racist and homophobic attack on himself last month but after appearing in court on Thursday (21.02.19), he posted $10,000 bond and headed straight for the Chicago set of the musical drama series.
After keeping the cast and crew waiting for at least 30 minutes to film a scene, Jussie was “very emotional” when he arrived to the Cinespace Studio and then addressed everyone there.
According to TMZ, he told them: “I’m sorry I’ve put you all through this and not answered any calls. I wanted to say I’m sorry and, you know me, I would never do this to any of you, you are my family. I swear to God, I did not do this.”
Sources told the website producers told the actor to leave the set and return later as he had clearly been crying a lot, and so was unable to shoot his scene.
Jussie – who also surrendered his passport following the hearing – was later 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.”
Meanwhile, though ‘Empire’ bosses have previously vowed to stand by the star – who portrays Jamal Lyon – they have now issued a new statement in which they admitted they are “evaluating the situation”.
20th Century Fox Television and Fox Entertainment said in a statement to CNN: “We understand the seriousness of this matter and we respect the legal process. We are evaluating the situation and we are considering our options.”
Police have claimed Jussie faked the attack because he was “dissatisfied” with his $100,000-per-episode fee on ‘Empire’ and wanted to boost his profile.
Chicago Police Department Superintendent Eddie T. Johnson slammed him as a “troubled young man” who has “taken advantage of the pain and anger of racism to further his career” by allegedly lying that he was attacked by racist and homophobic assailants.

Kim Kardashian West defends Khloe Kardashian for going out

OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Kardashian West has sprung to the defence of her sister Khloe Kardashian.
The ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star was unimpressed when a Twitter user questioned why the ‘Revenge Body’ host had attended PrettyLittleThing’s opening event in Los Angeles on Wednesday (20.02.19), just days after news broke that her partner Tristan Thompson – the father of her 10-month-old daughter True – had allegedly cheated on her with Kylie Jenner’s best friend Jordyn Woods.
Kim – who has North, five, Saint, three, and Chicago, 13 months, with husband Kanye West – insisted that it was important for her younger sister to be at the event because, as a “single mom”, she still needs to earn money to provide for her daughter.
Along with a video clip of Khloe, 34, at the event, the Twitter user wrote: “If someone cheats on you publicly. Y’all going outside the next day?”
Kim replied: “Would you prefer she lose the [money] too? A single mom has to work too boo! This was a professional commitment planned far in advance and you better believe she is not waiting on anyone to pay her bills or provide for her daughter. PERDIODT!!!(sic)”
Khloe seemed to approve of her 38-year-old sister’s reponse as she later liked her tweet.
Meanwhile, Jordyn’s page has been removed from the Good American website.
The 21-year-old beauty has modelled for Khloe and Emma Grede’s clothing brand since the label launched in 2016, but now visitors to the size-inclusive label’s site can no longer see her profile in the ‘about’ section for each member of the #goodsquad and there’s no trace of her at all on any of the webpages.
It was recently claimed Jordyn – who has moved out of Kylie’s home – has been left “devastated” after being cut off by the Kardashian and Jenner family.
A source said: “She’s devastated and can’t believe how her entire world has flipped upside down so fast. She knows making out with Tristan was wrong. Jordyn has always considered herself a member of the Kardashian-Jenner family and has tried to apologise to the family, especially Khloe and Kylie. The family doesn’t want anything to do with her right now as the whole incident is too fresh. No one is sure what the future holds for them having Jordyn in their life.”

Duchess Meghan ‘flies home on Clooneys’ $43m private jet’

OHMYGOSSIP — The Duchess of Sussex reportedly flew back to the UK on a $43 million private jet arranged by George and Amal Clooney.
Meghan – who is expecting her first child with husband Prince Harry – has just spent five nights in New York City celebrating her baby shower, and her famous friends are said to have picked up the $125,000 bill for the swanky return flight.
According to the MailOnline, the Gulfstream G450 jet is owned by a US company which shares a name with a firm registered to the same Los Angeles address as two of George’s film companies.
Meghan returned to the UK early on Thursday morning (21.02.19) after a $250,000 round trip, which saw her land back at Farnborough Airport, Hampshire.
Her star-studded baby shower – which cost $500,000 – was organised by Serena Williams, Jessica Mulroney, and one of Meghan’s Northwestern University sorority sisters.
The former ‘Suits’ actress and her friends stayed at a New York penthouse, which – at $75,000 a night – could be the most expensive hotel in the US.
Meanwhile, she looked happy to be with her friends earlier this week as they sat down for dinner at Ralph Lauren’s The Polo Bar in Midtown Manhattan following her baby shower.
An insider previously said: “Meghan wanted to share her special time with those friends who have been with her through thick and thin.
“She was desperate for them all to get together and have some girly time away from the guys, so her pals arranged to all meet up in New York. They have spoiled her rotten while she has been over. They are all so excited and cannot wait for the baby to arrive.”

Jim Carter: Downton Abbey should never be replicated

OHMYGOSSIP — Jim Carter says ‘Downton Abbey’ should never be replicated.
The 70-year-old star – who played butler Carson in the ITV period drama – believes it would be “wrong” to recreate the hugely popular show.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, he said: “If you start from, ‘Right, it’s Sunday night, so we need sunshine, we need pretty frocks, we need people falling in and out of love’, I think that’s the wrong place to start. You don’t start with what the audience likes, you start with what I want to write, and if the audience likes it, they’ll enjoy it. You have to come up with something different. ‘Bodyguard’ was a big hit, which was a totally different thing, and look at ‘Peaky Blinders’ – that was a period drama but it was also very different. So it can be done.”
Meanwhile, ‘Downton Abbey’ star Joanne Froggatt previously insisted the movie – which is based off the TV series – will be “everything fans want”.
Joanne, who plays the lady’s maid Anna Bates, said: “The movie will be full of romance, fun, surprises, sadness and intrigue. Everything people want, but elevated. Anna is in a really good place. She and Mr Bates have a baby boy, now 18 months old. She is passionate about helping Lady Mary with the running of Downton, about keeping the legacy going.”
And the show’s creator Julian Fellowes recently revealed filming the upcoming movie felt like a very “happy” school reunion.
He explained: “In life you can’t let yourself be daunted by the fact that it doesn’t work out for some people. You just have to keep charging on and have a go and do your best … I don’t think one should expect everything to be a triumph. I’ve done my best, I know the cast are doing their best and I think it will be fun. But I won’t count any chickens, thank you, until it is out, until we know how it is doing.”

Corrie’s Beverley Callard is happiest she’s ever been

OHMYGOSSIP — Beverley Callard is the happiest she’s ever been.
The ‘Coronation Street’ legend – who first played Rovers Return mainstay Liz McDonald on the ITV soap three decades ago – is still loving her time on the cobbles, despite taking the opportunity to appear in stage productions like ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’, and upcoming girl band play ‘The Thunder Girls’.
Reflecting on how happy she is on ‘Lorraine’, she said: “I am indeed. I just love it.
“And I do think you get to an age where you don’t care what people think. As long as you’re good to people and live your life as best you can, who cares what anyone says or thinks?”
This year marks 30 years since 61-year-old Beverley’s first appearance on the cobbles, and she admitted it’s “very scary” to look back and really think about how long it’s been.
After she was shown a highlight reel of some of her best ‘Corrie’ moments, she joked: “It’s very scary isn’t it? And the worst thing is I hate watching myself!
“30 good years though – and of course ‘Coronation Street’ is actually 60 next year, which is even better.”
Although she has enjoyed a varied career – including credits for the likes of ‘Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps’ and ‘Loose Women’ – Beverley revealed she doesn’t mind that more fans seem to know her as Liz than any other role.
She admitted: “I love it because as you can imagine, we get recognised wherever we go. Liz is loved so I appreciated that greatly!”

Emmerdale’s Zoe Henry rules out plastic surgery for sake of her kids

OHMYGOSSIP — Zoe Henry has promised to never have plastic surgery because of her “responsibility” as a parent
The ‘Emmerdale’ actress – who has Violet, 14, and Stan, 10, with her husband and co-star Jeff Hordley – explained she wants to make sure she is a “good role model” to her kids.
Speaking to the Mirror, she said: “Getting older is not great. I don’t love the ageing process but, that said, I am not prepared to do anything about it in terms of cosmetic surgery, because I’m terrified.
“I have a daughter and a responsibility to her to not starve myself, not inject things into my face. I want to be a good role model for her and for my son. My most important job is my children.
“I love this job, I love being an actor and I wouldn’t give it up for anything. But my main job is being a parent, so I have a responsibility to my son and my daughter. It is not a road I would go down. There is a lot to be said for just going with the flow.”
The 45-year-old star – who plys Rhona Goskirk on the ITV soap – added that she doesn’t think she’d have dealt with the world of social media if it had been around when she was a child.
She admitted: “Had I been at school now, I wouldn’t have coped well with social media – Twitter and Instagram … any of those things would have finished me off.
“I am aware that my daughter is on social media and I am mindful that I have to do more than my bit to keep her on an even keel. It is terrifying.”

Freddie Flintoff having fun on Top Gear

OHMYGOSSIP — Freddie Flintoff is “having a laugh” on ‘Top Gear’.
The former cricketer is the new co-host of the motoring show alongside Paddy McGuinness and Chris Harris but he’s not feeling any pressure to live up tot he success of previous hosts as he just wants to have a good time and be himself.
He said: “I just want to be myself and not compromise who I am.
“As a sportsman, I was under pressure every day and had people expecting things of me.
“This TV show is about enjoying myself and having a laugh. It was always a dream to do it – so I’m happy.”
The new team have already shot two episodes of the upcoming new series and Freddie is having a great time.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: “We’ve had some really fun days of filming so far. It’s sort of just sunk in what we’re doing.
“All the crew are so nice and I’m loving it.”
The 41-year-old sportsman is also enjoying getting to know his new “telly wife” Paddy better.
He said: “Jamie Redknapp and I are a bit of a duo, he was my telly wife for 13 years but now it’s Paddy.
“Paddy is only from Bolton, which is less than 15 minutes away from me.
“We have mutual friends and have done Soccer Aid together so it’s been really nice getting to know him.”
Freddie retired from cricket 10 years ago but the ‘A League of Their Own’ star never expected to then enjoy a successful second career on TV.
He said: “I say no to more things than I say yes to but I do feel lucky.
“All I ever wanted to do was be a cricketer so TV work is taking a direction I never thought I would do. But I love it.
“I just know I need to work hard and put the time in.
“From sport you know you always need to strive to get better.”

Katy Perry ‘gave up on love’ before Orlando Bloom romance

OHMYGOSSIP — Katy Perry “gave up on love” before meeting Orlando Bloom.
The 34-year-old singer is currently engaged to the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ actor, whom she first began dating in 2016, and although their romance is “stronger than ever”, sources say Katy wasn’t interested in love when she first met Orlando, following her divorce from Russell Brand in 2012.
An insider told Us Weekly magazine: “Katy gave up on love in the early years. But within the past couple of years, her relationship with Orlando has been stronger than ever.”
The ‘Roar’ hitmaker – who was married to Russell for two years – had trust issues when she first began dating Orlando and actually broke things off for a brief period in March 2017 before the pair later reconciled in August of the same year.
Now the pair are happier than ever, and according to Ryan Seacrest, Katy was “beaming” when she arrived on the set of ‘American Idol’ – which she is a judge on alongside Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan – the day after Orlando had popped the question.
Ryan – who is the host of the show – said: “Turns out, I guess, Orlando had this whole evening planned out … she went from ‘Idol’ and then a few hours later, we saw the post up on Instagram.
“She’s so happy. It was actually really beautiful to see her the next day so happy and beaming, so congratulations.”
Meanwhile, the couple are reportedly hoping to start a family together as soon as possible.
A source said recently: “Katy is slowing down her career this year. They want to get married and start a family sooner rather than later. They both want kids together and will prioritise this.”

Pink’s kids make her tin foil awards

OHMYGOSSIP — Pink’s children make her “tin foil” awards when she loses at award shows.
The 39-year-old singer has daughter Willow, seven, and son Jameson, two, with her husband Carey Hart, and has said that whenever she’s unsuccessful in taking home a gong at an award show, her children make her a replica out of aluminium foil so that she doesn’t feel bad about missing out.
Speaking on the red carpet at the BRIT Awards at London’s O2 Arena on Wednesday (20.02.19), she said: “Usually [my kids] make me tin foil awards. Every time I lose, I get a tin foil Grammy.”
The ‘So What’ hitmaker won’t be losing out at the BRITs though as she’s set to take home the gong for Outstanding Contribution, and will perform for the first time at the ceremony since 2003.
But despite being away from the show for some time, Pink says she still has so much love for the UK.
She said: “It’s been 20 years, it feels like, and it’s been awesome. Every time I come here I’ve had so much fun here. We’ve done so much busking, this summer we’re doing Wembley Stadium, it’s really exciting.”
And the ‘What About Us’ singer thinks people in the UK connect with her so much because she understands the “sarcastic” sense of humour associated with the country.
When asked what she thinks makes her such a hit in the UK, she said: “Sarcasm. I really understand the humour here.”

Hugh Jackman: I told my family how to spot me at the BRITs

OHMYGOSSIP — Hugh Jackman gave “strict instructions” to his family so they could spot him during his BRITs performance.
The 50-year-old actor opened up the award ceremony at London’s O2 Arena on Wednesday (20.02.19) with a special performance of ‘The Greatest Show’ – taken from his hit movie of the same name – and said his stage production was so big he had to let his family know where he would be positioned so they’d be able to see him when they watched him on television.
Speaking on the red carpet before the event, he said: “When they asked me to do this, I literally said yes halfway through. I mean, when in my life did I think I’d be opening the BRIT Awards? Never.
“We have 130 dancer, I don’t wanna … It’s massive. It’s so massive I’ve had to give strict instructions to my family so they can spot me. There’s a lot of stuff going on. I’m wearing a red carnation … No I’m not. But it’s gonna be so much fun. I can’t wait.”
Hugh was surprised when he arrived at the award show to find his fans all singing ‘Come Alive’, and hopes his new musical ventures will “finally” make him cool in the eyes of his 13-year-old daughter Ava.
The Hollywood icon – who also has 18-year-old son Oscar with his wife Deborra-Lee Furness – said: “It’s kind of amazing. I mean I turned up … It’s a completely different demographic from me. I mean I’m used to ‘Wolverine’ fans, but I turn up here and there’s a lot of young kids out here, and they start singing ‘Come Alive’ from ‘The Greatest Showman’ and I was like … This is just amazing to me. And finally, to my daughter I’m cool for a second.”

Calvin Harris wins big at the BRIT Awards

The 35-year-old DJ and producer won his first ever BRIT at the glitzy ceremony at London’s O2 Arena when he was named Producer of the Year, and followed the win up just moments later when his track ‘One Kiss’ featuring Dua Lipa was named the British Single of the Year.

He said: “I just want everyone to listen to me for one sec. Just a couple of sentence that a friend of ours said, and I just thought that we should all really really think about it.
“She said: In music, male misogynistic acts are examined for nuance and defended as traits of difficult artists. Whilst women and those who call them out are treated as hysterics who don’t understand art.
“Thank you very much.”

Paloma Faith: Famous people are intimidating

OHMYGOSSIP — Paloma Faith finds famous people “intimidating”.
The 37-year-old singer has said she loves meeting new people whenever she goes to award shows, especially when they turn out to be nicer than she expects them to be, as she often finds her fellow stars to be intimidating.
Speaking on the red carpet at the BRIT Awards in London on Wednesday (20.02.19), she said: “I love meeting people that I would otherwise never have the opportunity to meet and sometimes it means that you end up working together or you make friends with someone. I dunno, I love my perceptions to be challenged as well. When someone surprises me, and this is a big opportunity for that. Because everyone’s really intimidating when they’re famous, and I don’t really have any famous friends so when I meet other famous person I’m always [nervous].”
And the ‘Only Love Can Hurt Like This’ hitmaker hopes she can chat to Pink during the BRITs ceremony, as she’d love to work with her in the future.
She added: “I do [fangirl]. I will I think with Pink. I’m hoping tonight I might get to work with Pink. She’s just going to be too busy, so she probably won’t even get to meet me. [But we’re on the] same label, so there’s a chance.”
Paloma also offered advice to budding young artists, saying the key to success is “resilience”.
She said: “Resilience is the key to success in this industry. There’s so many knock backs, and if you take them all too literally then you won’t be successful. If you just sort of brush yourself off and carry on [you’ll be okay].”
