Glenn Close loved sharing The Wife role with her daughter

OHMYGOSSIP — Glenn Close found it “very special” to share her role in ‘The Wife’ with her daughter.
The 71-year-old actress has won praise for her portrayal of Joan Castleman in the movie, and she was very proud with the work her daughter Annie Maude Starke put into playing the younger version of the character.
She told Closer magazine: “It was very special, because she really had to lay down the foundations of the character.
“There was more of a back story to young Joan in that she came from a very wealthy New York family and she fell in love with her professor who was married and it was all a big scandal.”
Glenn is hotly tipped for the Best Actress statuette at the upcoming Academy Awards, and after six other previous nominations in the past, she believes it’s the role, rather than the performance that captures the attention of the academy.
She said of her nominations: “They’re the best parts I’ve been given. I have a theory about the Oscars – I think a lot of times it’s the role.
“If you’re lucky enough to get a role where you can show what you can do, people pay more attention.”
The ‘Dangerous Liaisons’ actress doesn’t think she’s particularly like any of the characters she’s played over the years.
She explained: “I don’t think I’m like any of my characters. I’m not a hugely social person. I’ve accepted the fact I’m basically an introvert and that’s OK.”

Tom Jones would’ve quit recording if he wasn’t given It’s Not Unusual

OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Tom Jones threatened to go back to Wales if he wasn’t allowed to sing ‘It’s Not Unusual’.
The legendary star admitted that although he recorded the demo for the 1694 hit, the song was originally intended for Sandie Shaw.
However, the 78-year-old musician threatened to leave London and quit recording if he wasn’t given the song for himself.
Speaking on the ‘George Ezra and Friends’ podcast, he said: “We did ‘It’s Not Unusual’ and when I heard it back I said I gotta have this song and I mean Gordon [Mills] was going, well he wasn’t fussed about it, but Les [Reed] was going ‘Well Sandie Shaw you know she’s had these number one records who the hell are you to get hold of this song’.
“I said ‘Well I gotta have this song if I don’t get this song I’m going back to Wales’. That’s how strong I felt about this song. ”
The ‘Delilah’ hitmaker went on to explain that although he was serious about his threat, Sandie didn’t take much convincing to give him the track as she decided immediately upon hearing the demo that the song belonged to Tom.
He said: “I meant it oh yeah; I mean what else could I threaten them with? What could I threaten Gordon with? Than saying I’m going back and do some shows in his worker men clubs which I was doing alright with.
“So they played it to Sandie Shaw and she said ‘Whoever’s singing this song that’s his song, I couldn’t sing it like that’.”
Tom added that the song which Sandie heard wasn’t the final version, and originally featured the voices of his manager and songwriter acting as the band.
He said: “We re-recorded it, it was just the rhythm section and Les and Gordon doing the background it was like voices…but it was like a milder version.”

Paul Young recovering from pneumonia

OHMYGOSSIP — Paul Young is recovering from pneumonia.
The 63-year-old musician is preparing to embark on a UK tour but has admitted that he is still finding everyday tasks such as walking up the stairs difficult after his recent battle with the lung infection.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror, he said: “I have just got over pneumonia. It has been tough, took it out of me.
“I had to admit myself to hospital in the end. It started off as a cold and then it just got worse.
“I am still recovering from it and I am still finding it hard doing stuff like walking up stairs. The tour starts in a few weeks so I will be fit by then.”
Paul’s wife Stacey Young, 52, died in January 2018, two years after being diagnosed with cancer and Paul revealed that Stacey’s illness made him look after his own health.
He explained: “When she first got ill, we all said we’d cut out sugar, because it aggravates cancer, so we did that as a show of solidarity with Stacey.
“Having said that, looking after her for those two years, I wasn’t looking after myself, so I’ve got back on the trail now.”
Young met Stacey on the video shoot for his second single, ‘Come Back and Stay’, in 1983, and they tied the knot four years later when they were living together in Los Angeles.
The couple split in 2006 and she subsequently had a fourth child, a son called Jude, with Israeli businessman Ilan Slazenger.
But they reconciled in 2009 and Young eventually became Jude’s step-father.

Ant McPartlin blasts Piers Morgan

OHMYGOSSIP — Furious Ant McPartlin has slammed Piers Morgan for questioning his National Television Awards win.
Piers questioned why 43-year-old Ant – who took a year out to focus on his sobriety – won the Best Presenter award alongside Declan Donnelly and Ant reportedly hit back with an angry email.
A source told the Daily Mirror: “Ant sent him an email saying he takes his recovery very seriously and he didn’t appreciate Piers belittling it by saying all he has done is walk the dog.
“Ant did work last year – he presented nearly the whole series of ‘Takeaway’ and all the audition shows of ‘BGT’.
“He then worked hard on his recovery. To suggest that all he did was walk the dog insults everyone who is in recovery or suffering from mental health issues. Ant pointed this all out to Piers.”
Following the win, ‘Good Morning Britain’ presenter Piers lashed out at Ant live on air.
He fumed: “It’s like Ant and Dec always winning it even though Ant hasn’t worked for a year.
“It’s like ‘Come on! How did you get a nom?’ I’m sorry but how did that happen? “Dec? Sure he’s put a shift in, us? Hundreds of days at the coal face in the morning.
“Walking the dog for a year, television personality of the year. Me? Coal face every morning, hours on end, week after week…nothing, not a dickie bird.
“Imagine Britain, if that is a reasonable way to conduct the awards season business, seriously.”

Rebel Wilson suffered concussion on set of Isn’t It Romantic?

OHMYGOSSIP — Rebel Wilson had to be rushed to hospital after suffering a concussion on the set of ‘Isn’t It Romantic?’.
The 38-year-old actress – who stars alongside the likes of Priyanka Chopra, Liam Hemsworth and Adam DeVine in the new fantasy movie – suffered a serious health scare after she fell over on set.
She recalled: “I was walking to meet Adam and Liam for a rehearsal when we were shooting an outdoor Hamptons scene, and I slipped down a grass hill.
“I got a concussion and was rushed to the hospital for three hours, and then came back and filmed a 16-hour day. I thought, how ironic, not from doing one of the crazy stunts, but from the grass having a bit of dew on it.”
Speaking to People, Rebel added: “Two of my toenails came off because of the flats I was wearing.”
Meanwhile, Rebel recently admitted it’s a “challenge” dating in Los Angeles.
The actress thinks Hollywood’s beauty standards are “very unrealistic” and joked that she finds it easier to date elsewhere in the world.
She said: “Los Angeles is a bit of a challenge. I remember when we shot ‘Pitch Perfect 3’ in Atlanta. Boy, was I popular there! I should move to a city like Atlanta. I was considered a 10 there. Not to say the people in Atlanta aren’t good looking. But Hollywood’s beauty standards are very unrealistic.”
Rebel also revealed what she’s specifically looking for in a boyfriend.
She shared: “I’ve been so lucky to create this awesome life for myself that I want to find that person to share it with.
“It can be a roller coaster being in the public eye, so I guess I [really just want] genuine niceness and supportiveness.”

Lea Michele says planning her wedding with Glee co-star is ‘special’

OHMYGOSSIP — Lea Michele thinks planning her wedding with the help of her former ‘Glee’ co-star Darren Criss is “really special”.
The 32-year-old actress is engaged to Zandy Reich, but has been leaning on her long-time friend – who she’s currently touring alongside – for wedding advice.
Lea said: “If you would have told me during ‘Glee’ like, ‘Hey, in a couple years you guys are going to both be on a tour together, both getting engaged at the same time, both planning your weddings at the same time’ – it’s so special.”
Darren, 32, is engaged to Mia Swier, and he’s also been bouncing wedding ideas off his former co-star.
Speaking to People about her wedding preparations, Lea shared: “Just having someone that we can talk to and be like, ‘What are you doing for this?’ and ‘What are your thoughts on that?’ It was really special.
“But also as friends to be in this very important moment of our life together. [It’s] less about giving tips about planning, just sort of being able to look at someone that you love and be like, ‘Oh wow, you know what this feels like right now.'”
Lea – who became engaged in April 2018 – previously revealed that her red-carpet experience has helped to prepare her for her wedding day.
The brunette beauty explained: “I was fortunate that having dressed up for events for a very long time now, I do know what works for my body.
“I do know that I don’t look well in a form-fitted dress – my stomach has always been my trouble area so I always stay away from that. It doesn’t work for me. I also don’t look good in things with tons of material because I’m only 5’2.
“So I knew those things going into the process, which were incredibly helpful.”

“It’ll be around December or January, we’ll talk about it and we’ll go from there.”
The presenter also admitted he’d love to have twins or even triplets.
He said: “I think we could have two or three. Twins would be great because you’re getting two out of the way at once!
“Triplets would be even better! And if we have quadruplets we’d be laughing because we’d have them all in one go!”

Kady McDermott’s boyfriend lashes out at trolls

OHMYGOSSIP — Kady McDermott has been getting death threats after calling Maria Fowler’s two-year-old daughter “vile”.
The former ‘Love Island’ star – who took part in the 2016 series – become embroiled in an Instagram row with former ‘TOWIE’ star Maria over the similarities between their Interior Design Instagram pages and it ended with Kady telling Maria: “Your daughter is vile.”
Kady was promptly dropped by clothing brands Gym King and Missy Empire and her boyfriend Myles Barnett has hit out at trolls who have been sending her threats.
He said in an emotional Instagram video: “The first thing I want to say is that no one understands how bad what was said was with Kady, and no one [has] beaten themselves up more than all of you lot can try and do for her. I’m not saying she doesn’t deserve to get any stick, but like I said no one understands more, or regrets it more than Kady does.
“But one thing she doesn’t deserve is where it’s got to now, now to be receiving things like death threats, really, really detailed death threats. Men, women, to be sending her vile, vile abuse about her looks, and about things that Kady is clearly already insecure about. But, even worse than that, saying things like ‘if you have children I hope they die’, ‘hope you can never have any children’, detailed threats about stopping her from having children.
“Now if you think [that] is acceptable because of what Kady said in the heat of the moment in an argument, how is that justified? If you’re painting Kady out to be this person, that you’re abusing, how are you different from what you are paining Kady out to be. If I showed you some of these messages it’s disgusting, you’ve never seen anything like it.
“What I think is happening and I’m sure when you deep down take a look at yourself, what is happening is all the negative things that’s happening in your life, you’re taking it out on someone who is having a hard time and you won’t see. I really think it’s very easy for a lot of you to think that just because you have a lot of followers or have a particular lifestyle on social media that she’s not a real person, that she’s massively self-obsessed, that she has ultimate confidence.
“I know it may come across that she’s really self-obsessed but anyone that knows her will know she’s a really beautiful person. It’s really easy to tell that when you get to know her, the thing is I’ve never met anyone that loves animals, babies, children more than her, which I know is semi-irrelevant. But, the fact that she’s more obsessed with kids, obsessed with animals, it frustrates me more because this makes her seem like a terrible person, which I know she isn’t, this has blown up a lot more than it should’ve.”
Kady, 23, previously took to Instagram to defend herself, insisting that she had apologised to Maria also.
She said: “I’m only human and naturally I make mistakes on temporary based emotions and being in the public eye unfortunately every single one of my mistakes gets put out there to the world…
“Forever getting judged for every step I take/do in life takes its toll. I privately messaged Maria my apology but as it’s everywhere I will do a public one too. I am deeply sorry to Maria, her partner and of course gorgeous Evie…
“I did not mean what I said. I was massively upset Maria’s comments to me that made me feel SO upset beyond words and a degrade to my character I then wanted to hurt her where it hurt too so I reacted irrationally and badly.”

Paul Hollywood’s ex grieving marriage breakdown

OHMYGOSSIP — Paul Hollywood’s estranged wife is still grieving the breakdown of their marriage.
Although Alex Hollywood took her ‘Great British Bake Off’ star husband back after he had a fling with another woman in 2013, she was devastated by a second infidelity and promptly ended their relationship in 2017.
However, Alex admitted that she hasn’t found the split easy, telling the Daily Mail’s Weekend magazine: “Well, it is a grieving process, isn’t it. It’s grieving for your marriage. It’s grieving for something that’s dead. Finished. Don’t forget, I was married for nearly 20 years – most of my adult life. I never expected it would end. Who does?”
While Alex was willing to forgive 52-year-old Paul’s first infidelity and tried to save their marriage for the sake of their son, she admitted she could not cope with him cheating for a second time.
She said: “It happened again and it was a done deal, my marriage was over. From the minute I knew, it was over. It is over. There is nothing. It’s such a big thing to comprehend, to end a marriage. But I had to do the right thing, and to have self-respect as well.”
Alex, 54, also revealed her belief that “it’s so hard to stay married these days, because everything is so moveable, so transient”.
She explained: “People don’t take things… well, they think of marriage in a different way than they did in my parents’ time.
“I just think it’s sad, because there’s an awful lot more to marriage than just two people hooking up because they like each other.”

Jess Glynne cancels BRITs Week conceert

OHMYGOSSIP — Jess Glynne has axed her BRITs Week show after doctors put her on vocal rest.
The 26-year-old singer was due to perform at War Child’s BRITs Week Together event next week but has been forced to cancel after receiving medical advice.
A message on War Child’s official Twitter page stated: “We’re so sorry to tell you @JessGlynne’s show for #BRITsWeek together with @O2music is being postponed due to her being on strict vocal rest.
“The show will now take place on May 22nd at @o2sbe. All original tickets will remain valid. Get well soon Jess!”
And Jess wrote: “I’m really sorry that I have to move this show.
“I hope you understand that I must look after my health and the doctor has told me to rest so I have to do so. I’ll be back in May to do this show and I promise it will be worth the wait.”
Jess has been nominated for four BRIT awards; Best Female Solo Artist, Best British Video of the Year for her ‘These Days’ collaboration with Rudimental, Macklemore and Dan Caplen and British Single of the Year for ‘I’ll Be There’ and ‘These Days’.
Jess has previously had two operations on her vocal cords and insisted she will do everything possible to avoid another one.
She said previously: “I will never let that happen. I can’t afford to let that happen. Honestly, I couldn’t have another operation.One, I don’t want to go through it. And two, my voice is already… it’s not weak but it’s not as strong as a normal person’s. So to have another operation over scar tissue would just result in weaker and weaker muscle. I can’t let it happen.”

Bond 25 release date pushed back

OHMYGOSSIP — The ‘Bond 25’ release date has been pushed back.
The upcoming James Bond movie – starring Daniel Craig as the suave super spy – was originally due to be released on February 14, 2020, but it has now been postponed until April 8, 2020, MGM has announced.
Cary Fukunaga is directing the movie, which is expected to be Daniel’s final outing as James Bond.
Meanwhile, it was previously revealed that Naomie Harris and Ralph Fiennes, and Lea Seydoux will all return for ‘Bond 25’.
Lea, 33, portrayed Bond girl Dr Madeleine Swann in 2015 movie ‘Spectre’, and she looks set to reprise her role after support from Craig – and Fukanaga.
Cary said: “Lea will be returning.”
And speaking about the British trio, the director added: “You have some of the best actors in the world here. Why wouldn’t I have the best coming back?”
In ‘Spectre’, Seydoux’s psychologist alter-ego Swann got hot and steamy with Bond in the freezing Austrian Alps.
She is the daughter of Mr. White – played by Jesper Christensen – and helped the spy identify the criminal and terrorist company SPECTRE.
Fukunaga was named as the hotly-anticipated movie’s new director in September, after Danny Boyle walked away from the project over “creative differences”.
Producers Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said at the time: “We are delighted to be working with Cary.
“His versatility and innovation make him an excellent choice for our next James Bond adventure.”
Boyle’s decision to depart the project was announced on the movie’s official Twitter page in August.
The post read: “Michael G Wilson, Barbara Broccoli and Daniel Craig today announced that due to creative differences Danny Boyle has decided to no longer direct Bond 25 (sic)”

Andy Cohen takes parenting advice from Real Housewives stars

OHMYGOSSIP — Andy Cohen has been taking parenting tips from the cast of the ‘Real Housewives’ franchise.
The 50-year-old TV star – who serves as an executive producer of the franchise – welcomed a son called Benjamin into the world on February 4, and Andy has revealed he’s since been relying on the ‘Real Housewives’ stars for advice.
Andy – who had his son via a surrogate – explained: “The ‘Housewives’ have given me a lot of advice.
“All their mom instincts came out. As loud and funny and aggressive and wild and dramatic and everything you want to say about the ‘Housewives’, as much of all that as they are, they’re all moms, pretty much. And they’re all good moms.”
Andy – who revealed he was preparing to become a dad in December – admitted the support of the TV stars has been “lovely”.
He told People: “They all really surrounded me and just wanted to protect me and help me in the sweetest, most humane and lovely way that has just continued to really tickle me.
“They’ve all been so lovely.”

The ‘Watch What Happens Live’ host said: “Kelly Ripa helped me find my baby nurse, who’s incredible.
“Sarah Jessica sat with me for three hours on a Saturday and helped me do my registry. And she lent me clothes and burp cloths that she had saved from her kids.
“She labelled them all. She left me a big plastic container full of things that she knew I would need.”

Kerry Katona: Second marriage was my downfall

OHMYGOSSIP — Kerry Katona claims her second marriage was her “downfall”.
The former Atomic Kitten singer – who has Molly, 17, and Lilly-Sue, 15, with first husband Brian McFadden, Heidi, 11, and Maxwell, 10, with second spouse Mark Croft and Dylan-Jorge, four, with third husband George Kay – admitted she was “crushed” when her union with the Westlife singer ended and her biggest mistake was to wed her “drug dealer”.
She told Heat magazine: “My downfall was my second marriage – I’m not saying it was Mark’s fault, I have to take responsibility.
“But when me and Brian broke up, it crushed me. I got into drugs, married my drug dealer and that’s how I coped.
“But I’m the strongest now I’ve ever been and the most confident.”
The 38-year-old star is taking part in TV show ‘Celebs Go Dating’ and found the experience “terrifying” because she claims she’s never dated anyone before as she always jumps straight into marriage.
She admitted: “I don’t date because magazines pay me to get married. [The dating has been] terrifying.
“I’ve never done the dating scene before, so it’s been interesting. Exhausting though. But I’ve learnt a lot – definitely don’t drink on TV.
“Things are different – I’m not looking for my fourth husband. I don’t want to get married again and I don’t want more children. What I’m learning most is to love myself.”
Kerry recently claimed Brian was her “favourite” husband, even though he recently branded the institution of marriage “disposable”.
She said: “He can be a right d***head, that ex-husband of mine. Brian went on ‘Loose Women’ and said that marriage was ‘disposable’ and ‘just a party’.
“I get it – he has a girlfriend and has to be respectful, but it was a weird thing to say considering he was married to me.
“He’s always going to be in my life and I wish him well, but my side of the story is very different. In my opinion, it was my favourite marriage and I’m not going to let him take that away from me.”

Fay Ripley’s relief at cancer storyline praise

OHMYGOSSIP — Fay Ripley felt “huge relief” after her cancer portrayal on ‘Cold Feet’ was widely praised.
The 52-year-old actress’ ‘Cold Feet’ character Jenny was diagnosed with breast cancer in the current series and Fay was worried about how real-life cancer sufferers would react.
She told the Daily Mirror: “I’m so hugely relieved that I don’t appear to have let people down.
“That was the very thing I was most nervous about. I didn’t want to let people down who were genuinely going through this. What I’m playing is a story – for other people it’s their lives. A misrepresentation would be awful, people take it really seriously. I feel such an outpouring of people’s personal stories to me.”
And Fay was happy to receive positive messages from those who have been through breast cancer and were impressed with her portrayal.
Messages included one from a person who said, “As a breast cancer survivor all I can say is wow! You have got it spot on!” and another who told Fay: “Nearly 11 years on since my diagnosis and still so emotional to watch. You’ve played it so right.”
While a number of Fay’s loved ones have been diagnosed with cancer, she previously admitted she was worried about talking to them about her storyline.
She explained: “You’ve got to be a bit careful. As an actress playing someone with a lump, it’s not the same.
“When you’re talking face to face with someone and they’ve got it, it’s their life.
“It was really much more about me saying ‘listen, I’m going to be doing this and I hope you’re OK with it?’
“I didn’t want them to think I was there taking notes, if you know what I mean. But I could observe my amazing, brave, beautiful, funny, brilliant friends and family who have it and go, that’s what I want to portray.
“It’s a fine line between the moments when you are sh*t scared and the moments where, you don’t forget about it, but you do carry on with your life. And you put the bins out. So it was about getting that balance right.”

Jason Blum: Happy Death Day 2U was an unlikely sequel

OHMYGOSSIP — Jason Blum admits that ‘Happy Death Day 2U’ was an unlikely sequel.
The 49-year-old producer – who is the CEO of Blumhouse Productions – partnered up with writer-and-director Christopher Landon once again for the highly-anticipated sequel to their 2017 slasher film, which sees Jessica Rothe reprise her role as Tree Gelbman, a college student who had to repeat the day she is murdered over and over again whilst trying to discover the identity of her killer.
And both admit the follow-up was not expected because they both conceived the original story and standalone film.
Speaking to Collider, Landon said: “I think honestly nobody thought of a sequel.”
Blum added: “It was actually the reverse, I mean obviously we make a lot of movies sometimes, I think it’s a huge mistake to make an original movie only if you can think of what the sequel is, I think it’s terrible. But definitely, of most of the movies we’ve done, the least likely to have a sequel would definitely have been this movie – and ‘Paranormal Activity’.”
The franchise’s director Landon also confessed that the idea for the sequel “struck” him when he had nearly finished editing the first film and he was so “excited” he pitched it to Blum immediately.
Landon admitted: “There was no conversation about a sequel while we were making this movie and it was only until I was editing and almost done and I was suddenly struck by this idea and I got so excited by the possibility of the idea that I pitched it to Jason.
“All that excitement came from the fact it was not going to be the same movie, we were going to do something really different, and really fun.
“It’s a bit of a rabbit hole but if I’m lucky enough to make a third movie, it’s not going to be that expected path and I think that’s the important thing, it’s always about keeping people on their toes and challenging yourself as a filmmaker to do something different.”

Jennfier Lopez trained like a boxer for her Las Vegas residency

OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Lopez prepared for her Las Vegas residency “like a boxer training for a fight”.
The 49-year-old singer-and-actress feels “much better” when she’s in good shape but needed to push herself with more intense workouts in order to get through the long stage shows in Sin City.
Speaking to Closer magazine, she said: “I’ve always taken pretty good care of myself. I make sure I do intensive workouts at least three or four days a week, because I can see the results and I feel a lot better when I’m in shape.
“I also need to train very hard while doing my Las Vegas shows because I had to be extra fit to get through each performance.
“It’s like you’re a boxer training for a fight. But it really pays off and, as you get older, it’s even more important to put in the extra hours of training to keep your body toned.”
The ‘On the Floor’ hitmaker credits her dance background for being able to “push” herself hard when she needs to.
She explained: “I started out as a dancer and I remember whenever I arrived at the gym in the morning, I would spend as many hours as I could there.
“I would train until the point of exhaustion. So I have the mentality to be able to push myself pretty hard.”
Jennifer had a crisis of confidence after her first flush of success when she received a backlash and wave of criticism.
She said: “After I had had some success, I suddenly saw a lot of criticism being thrown my way and it made me start to doubt myself.
“There was all this talk that I wasn’t really an actress, wasn’t really a singer, and after a while that stuff starts to wear you down.
“I’m very sensitive and it was hard for me to avoid focusing on the negative things that were out there instead of looking at the positive.
“You lose faith in yourself. I told myself, ‘You know that you have the talent and the drive to keep being successful, that you have a lot of fans out there who love and support you.’ So I started believing in myself again.”
