Blac Chyna’s new romance started as a joke

OHMYGOSSIP — Blac Chyna’s romance with Soulja Boy reportedly began as a joke to annoy her ex-partner Tyga.
The 30-year-old model is believed to have struck up a relationship with rapper Soulja Boy following her split from Kid Buu after their heated argument during a trip to Hawaii last month.
However, it has now been claimed her romance with Soulja wasn’t supposed to be serious as they originally just wanted to troll Chyna’s former beau Tyga – with whom she has six-year-old son King Cairo – but after spending time together, they developed a genuine connection and are now dating for real.
According to TMZ, the couple met on social media earlier this month and “concocted a plan” to get under Tyga’s skin by pretending they were dating.
But after going on a few fake dates to make their romance seem real, they formed a bond and decided to stop pretending and start a real relationship.
A source told the publication Chyna – who also has two-year-old daughter Dream with ex Rob Kardashian – and Soulja Boy “appreciate and respect that the other one has their own career rolling right now, and they feel like they can take things slow.”
Soulja Boy is said to have agreed to troll Tyga following their spat last month over who had the bigger comeback in 2018.
The new romance comes after police were called to Chyna’s Hawaii hotel room last month, following claims of a “disturbance” between her and her then-boyfriend Kid Buu.
Sources said at the time that Chyna scratched Kid Buu, and he is alleged to have then slammed her against a wall several times and choked her, prompting someone to call for emergency services.
The Honolulu Police Department confirmed in a statement: “Shortly before 9 am today, a female visitor staying in Waikiki reported being assaulted by a male acquaintance. The victim reported that she and the suspect had been involved in an argument several hours earlier, and the argument had escalated to a physical confrontation. The male left the area after the confrontation and has not been located. This incident has been classified as abuse of a household member. The investigation is continuing, and no further information is being released at this time.”

April Love Geary ‘doesn’t remember’ a time when she wasn’t pregnant

OHMYGOSSIP — April Love Geary has joked she “doesn’t remember” a time when she wasn’t pregnant.
The 24-year-old model is currently expecting her second child with her boyfriend Robin Thicke, and as the pair are already parents to 11-month-old daughter Mia Love, April has joked that she can’t remember what life is like without carrying a baby.
Posting a picture of her burgeoning baby bump, the brunette beauty wrote on Instagram: “I don’t even remember what life is like not being pregnant lmao (sic)”
The couple’s impending second arrival is actually the third time April has been pregnant, after she tragically suffered a miscarriage before the birth of their first daughter Mia.
When asked during an Instagram Story Q&A last year if she was “scared” by the possibility of miscarrying, she said: “I had one before Mia. But I’m not scared, worrying or stressing out too much isn’t good for the baby. Life happens and we can’t control everything.”
April and the ‘Blurred Lines’ hitmaker – who is also father to eight-year-old Julian, whom he has with ex-wife Paula Patton – revealed they are to become parents again over the summer last year, by sharing a video of young Mia holding a sonogram.
The picture was accompanied by the caption: “Well someone is going to be a big sister next year! We’re so excited to share with y’all that I’m expecting again! (sic)”
But it wasn’t long before April was facing criticism online from trolls who blasted her and Robin, 41, for not getting married before starting a family together.
Hitting back at the haters on her Instagram story, April wrote: “Why are women so obsessed with telling me I need a ring? Getting married is the easy part, seeing how you are together AFTER having babies is the hard part.
“We’re in 2018. Not in the 1950’s. Women don’t NEED to get married before having babies. Ya’ll need to chill (sic).”

Kim Kardashian West almost missed Kanye West’s Valentine’s surprise

OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Kardashian West almost missed Kanye West’s impressive Valentine’s Day (14.02.19) surprise because she was running late to volunteer at their daughter’s school.
The 38-year-old reality star was left stunned when her husband surprised her with a Kenny G performance on the romantic holiday last week, but has said she very nearly ruined the plans after she got held up when she was supposed to be the “class mom” at their five-year-old daughter North’s school.
Kim – who also has son Saint, three, daughter Chicago, 13 months, and is currently expecting another tot via surrogate – said: “I was running out the door to go be the class mom for my daughter’s Valentine’s Day.”
But luckily, 41-year-old Kanye was ready and waiting to intercept his wife, taking her into the living room where the legendary saxophonist was waiting amongst a sea of roses.
The ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star added to ‘Extra’: “I run outside and Kanye’s there … And he’s like, ‘Wait, Babe, come over…’ So he brings me in the living room. And I just see all these roses and Kenny G in my living room and it was so cool and so special.”
Meanwhile, 62-year-old Kenny recently spoke about the romantic surprise, as he admitted she couldn’t stop smiling after seeing him in her living room.
He said: “Kanye had requested me to come to the house and serenade Kim in the morning. ‘It’s going to be a room surrounded with roses, and you’re going to stand in the middle of the roses and play.’ I thought, ‘That actually sounds really beautiful.’ It just all worked out …
“I started playing before I saw her. She was coming around a corner, and I got the nod from Kanye to go. And so I started to play, and when she came, she just went, ‘Oh my God,’ and then she looked at me and was smiling and just kind of stopped. She didn’t know what to do with herself for a minute. Then she got her phone out, which was awesome.”

Andy Cohen falling in love with parenting

OHMYGOSSIP — Andy Cohen is “falling more in love” with his son every day.
The 50-year-old television host welcomed his first child, Benjamin Allen Cohen, into the world earlier this month after he was born via surrogate mother, and has said he’s completely smitten with his tot, whom he dubbed as a “lovely boy”.
Sharing a video clip of Benjamin during Sunday’s (17.02.19) episode of ‘Watch What Happens Live’, Andy said: “This is from a few minutes after I met my son. That was obviously right in the hospital, Benjamin Allen Cohen, he weighed in at 9lb 2oz.
“He’s a lovely boy, he’s cute as a button, he’s two weeks old now and I can only speak for myself when I say I am falling more in love with him every day, he seems very happy, guzzling milk, he’s burping and making poops. My diaper changing skills aren’t bad but the swaddling has me a little perplexed!”
His comments come after he recently said he would be “forever indebted” to his surrogate, who gave him the “ultimate gift” of carrying the child for him.
He said: “[I] worked with an organisation that helps you find the egg donor and the surrogate, and you kind of package the whole process.
“I worked with an incredible surrogate. She was in California. Surrogacy is illegal in so many states, including New York. I don’t understand why. It’s a voluntary process, obviously.
“My surrogate just viewed it as, she was giving me the ultimate gift. She gave me life.
“So I’ll be forever indebted to her.”
Andy was by his surrogate’s side when she gave birth and “cut the umbilical cord” himself before getting to cuddle his newborn for the first time.
He added: “I was in the delivery room. I had been hoping that he would have a full head of hair, and he really overdelivered.
“That was the first thing you see, the head of hair coming out. And I was amazed.
“He was so alert for the first two hours. His eyes were wide open. He didn’t cry; he was just calm. I kind of have no words for it.”

Ne-Yo sheds 30 pounds thanks to veganism

OHMYGOSSIP — Ne-Yo says he’s shed 30 pounds since going vegan.
The 39-year-old singer-songwriter has been following a plant based diet – in which he eats no meat, or any food derived from animals such as dairy products or eggs – for around two years now, and credits the lifestyle change with completely turning his life around.
He said: “I am loving it. I genuinely am. It’s been about two years. More energy, my face clears up, weight falls off. I lost, like, 30 pounds!”
The ‘Miss Independent’ hitmaker first made the dietary change after watching the investigative documentary ‘What the Health’ – which explores the relationship between government agencies, big business in the food industry and national health problems including chronic diseases – and says he was so “p***ed off” after watching it that he vowed to change his ways.
He added: “Initially, I watched the documentary ‘What The Health’, and to put it frankly, it p***ed me off. It really did. I was like, let me get this straight: The person giving you the disease and the person fighting the disease are in bed together? To hell with y’all.
“Out of spite, I went vegan because I was like, Y’all don’t care.”
Now, Ne-Yo says going vegan is one of the best things he’s ever done, and even credits the change with helping to “reverse” the pain he used to suffer with in his knees.
Speaking to Us Weekly magazine, he said: “A friend told me a plant-based diet could reverse the effects of heart disease, cancer. I had tendinitis in both my knees – two weeks, brand new knees, like it never happened. I kid you not! I love it.”

Jenny Lewis ‘deeply troubled’ by Ryan Adams accusations

OHMYGOSSIP — Jenny Lewis is “deeply troubled” by the accusations against Ryan Adams.
The 43-year-old musician has spoken out in light of allegations that Adams had inappropriate interactions with an underage girl as well as accusations of psychologically abusive behaviour, harassment, and other misconduct from several other women, including his ex-wife, Mandy Moore; all of which Adams has denied.
The ‘She’s Not Me’ singer, who worked with Adams on her last album ‘The Voyager’ and upcoming record ‘On The Line’, took to social media to reveal that although she had a “working professional relationship” with Adams, 44, she stands “in solidarity” with the women who have spoken out against him.
On Twitter, she wrote: “I am deeply troubled by Ryan Adams’ alleged behaviour. Although he and I had a working professional relationship, I stand in solidarity with the women who have come forward.”
Actress and singer Mandy has alleged that Ryan was “psychologically abusive” and belittled her singing talents, previously stating: “His controlling behaviour essentially did block my ability to make new connections in the industry during a very pivotal and potentially lucrative time – my entire mid-to-late 20s … Music was a point of control for him.”
Another woman, Ava, is also accusing Ryan of sending her messages and making video calls on Skype, where he exposed himself when she was just 15 and 16-years-old. The pair first connected over music, as she was and up and coming bass player but their texts soon turned graphic. In one message, he had told her: “i would get in trouble if someone knew we talked like this (sic)”
Andrew B. Brettler, Adams’s lawyer, said: “Mr. Adams unequivocally denies that he ever engaged in inappropriate online sexual communications with someone he knew was underage.”

Dolly Parton believes fluid sexuality is ‘fashionable’

OHMYGOSSIP — Dolly Parton believes terms such as bisexual, pansexual, and gender fluid have become “fashionable”.
The 73-year-old country superstar has admitted she’s still “an old timer” when it comes to the topics of sexuality and gender, and has said she thinks certain people label themselves in certain ways in order to be part of a “movement”.
She said: “For me, I’m still an old timer. Sometimes I think it’s just become kind of fashionable to speak out like that. I think some of them even say more than who they really are.
“I think they just want to be part of that whole movement to make people think that they’re so free and all that. But I don’t really know how they feel inside. I know how I feel inside.”
The ‘9 to 5’ hitmaker’s own goddaughter Miley Cyrus identifies as both gender fluid and pansexual, but Dolly thinks the 26-year-old singer does things “for effect”.
She added: “Miley, she does a lot of stuff for effect, and I think a lot of them do.”
Dolly, meanwhile, has been married to her husband Carl Dean since 1966, and couldn’t imagine her life any other way.
She said: “He’s a good man. It is a true love story and he’s my best buddy — he’s crazy, he’s funny,” she says. So I think laughter has been a big part of our relationship. We both have a lot of fun.
“And we’re not in the same business — he doesn’t care about that. He’s pretty much a homebody, loves staying around home. We live out on a farm. He likes to mow the fields and work on his tractors.”
And although a hysterectomy when Dolly was 36 took away the couple’s chance to start a family of their own, the ‘Jolene’ singer says she doesn’t mind not having children as it’s allowed her to focus on her career.
Speaking to The Dan Wootton Interview podcast, she said: “I look at everything like it happened the way that it was supposed to. I’m pretty sure if I’d had kids I would not have done as much. I always think, ‘Well, maybe God didn’t mean for me to have ­children, so everybody’s children could be mine.'”

Hetti Bywater slams Instagram trolls over Photoshop claims

OHMYGOSSIP — Hetti Bywater has blasted Instagram trolls who accused her of photo editing her posts on the site.
The former ‘EastEnders’ actress – who played Lucy Beale for two years on the soap until the character was killed off in a murder mystery storyline in 2014 – hit back at the critic with a defiant rant.
Taking to her Instagram Story, she said: “Does everyone have to be so… negative on Instagram? Let people be. It’s not your life, so calm… down.
“Also, to the people saying my hips are photoshopped, hahaa, I’ve always always had wide hips. It runs in my family.
“I will from now on be deleting any comments that are rude or negative. Purely because, a girl doesn’t have time for that. Thanks, bye.”
The comments from trolls came after Hetti shared a bikini snap on the site, and while some people were negative, a lot of followers defended the 24-year-old star.
She added: “I can’t reply to all of you guys. But I just wanted to say, thanks for being kind people and promoting positivity.
“I’m very grateful, you guys are what makes it worth it.”
Since leaving Albert Square five years ago, Hetti – who appeared in a flashback episode in 2015 – has been seen on the small screen in the likes of ‘Death in Paradise’ and ‘Delicious’.

Courteney Cox lost her virginity at 21

OHMYGOSSIP — Courteney Cox lost her virginity when she was 21.
The 54-year-old actress – who is in a relationship with Snow Patrol’s Johnny McDaid – has revealed that her mother, also called Courteney, didn’t teach her a lot about sex and so she was really “backwards” about the topic.
But once her mother realised she was in a serious relationship with one of her boyfriends she encouraged her to take the plunge and have sex.
Speaking on ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden’ on Wednesday (13.02.19), she shared: “My mom didn’t talk to me about one thing that I should have known [about sex]. I shouldn’t probably say this, but I will, I was a virgin until I was 21. I think I can be proud of that. I remember, I dated the guy for a long time, and my mom was like, ‘OK, I think she’s gonna be with him for a while.’ And she sent me a pair of underwear to try, you know, womanhood. And they were called Olga, and I swear the lace was about three and a half to four inches and then the cotton part. But they were so much better than the ones I was wearing, so I was really backwards when it came to that. They were pretty snazzy, I mean, not in this day in age, but, you know.”
The ‘Friends’ actress and musician Johnny, 42, started dating in 2013 and had been engaged but called things off in 2015, and the pair spent months apart before rekindling their romance, with John now based in England and Courteney living in Los Angeles.
But the former ‘Cougar Town’ star insists that despite their long distance relationship, things are much better between them than they’ve ever been before.
Appearing on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’, she said: “Isn’t that strange? We broke off our engagement and he moved to England, then we got back together, and it’s actually better than it was before. Everything’s better.
“Not because he’s in London, although the distance after that break-up – we were apart for six months – that really showed us a lot, and it’s just better.
“I mean, it’s expensive, it’s an expensive relationship, we go back and forth a lot. He’s incredible. He’s also an incredible writer. He writes tons of music.”

Russell Crowe slams Academy Awards

OHMYGOSSIP — Russell Crowe has slammed Academy Awards bosses for making the “dumb” decision to remove several categories from its telecast.
The 54-year-old star – who won the 2001 Best Oscar actor for ‘Gladiator’ – thinks it is a “fundamentally stupid” for the prizes for film editing, makeup/hairstyling and live action short to be handed out during commercial breaks and then have an edited version of the winners’ speeches broadcast later.
Following the announcement of the change, Russell tweeted: “The Academy is removing cinematography, editing and make up from the televised show? This is just such a fundamentally stupid decision, I’m not even going to be bothered trying to be a smart arse about it. It’s just too f***ing dumb for words.”
Seth Rogen also took to Twitter to criticise the decision.
He posted: “What better way to celebrate achievements in film than to not publicly honor the people’s who’s job it is to literally film things.(sic)”
Josh Gad retweeted the ‘Sausage Party’ star’s post and added: “Agreed. Not quite sure why the Academy Awards seems to hate the Academy Awards this year.”
‘Outlander’ star Catriona Balfe branded the decision “bulls**t”.
In a series of tweets, she wrote: “What the f**k?? Cinematography, editing, hair and make up and live action shorts Oscars aren’t going to be aired.
“Every actor will tell you so much of how they build their character is through hair and make up. ALSO essential to the process.
“And for the people who have slaved and sweated and broke their backs and bank balances to make short films that are purely creative endeavours and very rarely will ever make money … the prospect of getting an Oscar and people learning about you and your project is essential and been the springboard for countless careers. Ughhhhh so bloody disgusted by this decision. Everyone should have their moment to shine … if they deserve an Oscar they deserve their moment. It’s bulllllls**t!!!!(sic)”
Alfonso Cuaron – who won Best Director for ‘Gravity’ in 2014 and is nominated again in that category this year for ‘Roma’, as well as Best Cinematography, best Picture and Best Original Screenplay – is also upset by the decision.
He posted: “In the history of CINEMA, masterpieces have existed without sound, without color, without a story, without actors and without music.
“No one single film has ever existed without CINEMAtography and without editing.(sic)”
His good friend and fellow Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro agreed.
He wrote: “I would not presume to suggest what categories should occur during commercials on Oscars night, but, please: Cinematography & Editing are at the very heart of our craft. They are not inherited from a theatrical or literary tradition: they are cinema itself.”
The Academy Awards take place on February 24.

Daniel Radcliffe picks favourite Harry Potter film

OHMYGOSSIP — Daniel Radcliffe’s favourite film from the Harry Potter franchise is ‘The Order of the Phoenix’.
The 29-year-old actor – who was just 11 when he was cast as the boy wizard in the movie versions of J. K. Rowling’s magical fantasy book series – played the titular role eight times on the big screen.
The British star has now revealed which film is his personal favourite and he has gone for 2007’s ‘The Order of the Phoenix’.
Even though it had a mixed reception from some fans because it sees Harry split off from his Hogwarts classmates, it is his favourite out of the wizarding franchise because the cast had a “good time making it”.
Opening up on WIRED’s Autocomplete Interview series, Radcliffe said: “I love the last one [movie], but I also really love the fifth, which is not a lot of people’s favourite, I kind of realise. I love it because of the relationship between Harry and Sirius [Black], and you get a lot of Gary Oldman in that movie.
“That was my favourite one. Probably to film as well. We had a really, really good time making that one. Five or seven, part two.”
Earlier this week, Radcliffe admitted he is sure that the series will be rebooted at some point in the future and there will another child Harry who will tell the story to new generations just as Jamie Parker and Gareth Reeves have played the character as an adult on stage in ‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’.
Speaking to IGN, he said: “I’m sure there will be some other version of it; I know I’m not the last Harry Potter I’m gonna see in my lifetime – we’ve already got a few more.
“It will be interesting to see how long those films stay … it feels like there’s a sacredness around them at the moment, but that’ll go, the shine will wear off at some point. It’ll be interesting if they reboot them and just do the films again or do a series; I’m fascinated to watch.”

Jada Pinkett Smith promotes self love

OHMYGOSSIP — Jada Pinkett Smith urged her fans to love themselves in a post to mark Valentine’s Day.
The ‘Magic Mike XXL’ star – who is married to Hollywood star Will Smith – penned a sweet message for her followers on social media to encourage them to practice self-love.
She wrote on Instagram: “The journey to self love can be a brutal process. Especially in those moments when we must deny ourselves that which is familiar… but harmful. Like releasing victimhood and embracing personal power. Without personal power/self love, there is no foundation to build love for someone else because it’s the power needed to dissolve the ego which is our greatest obstacle to truly loving anyone. Without self love, all one has is their ego which gives a false sense of personal power through its brutal and unkind nature.”
And the 47-year-old actress says it is important to “transfer our trust to our hearts from our egos”.
She added in her lengthy post: “The ego will never fail to strangle the love out of one’s heart if we allow it to take center stage in our relationships. Transferring our trust to our hearts from our egos is a painful process in learning HOW to love. BUT… through it all… when we finally get to the place where we can give and receive love in its most pure state… ego free… it is only ever… beauty (sic)”
Jada had previously opened up about her relationship with Will Smith, admitting they don’t call themselves “married” so they can see themselves without expectations.
She explained: “I needed a different form to dissolve all the expectations that I had of a marriage. I needed to do that to see Will outside of husband and see him as a human being.”
