OHMYGOSSIP — The two brothers arrested in connection with the alleged attack on ‘Empire’ star Jussie Smollett have been released without charge.
The 36-year-old actor required hospital treatment after a suspected racist and homophobic attack in Chicago last month and the two men were arrested during the week but released without charge after questioning.
Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi wrote on Twitter: “Due to new evidence as a result of today’s interrogations, the individuals questioned by police in the Empire case have now been released without charging and detectives have additional investigative work to complete.”
The attorney for the brothers told CBS Chicago that his clients know Smollett and that they sometimes work out at the same gym. He denied his clients were responsible for the attack.
Meanwhile, defence attorney Michael Monico has confirmed to Variety that he is now representing Smollett.
Jussie has told police he was attacked on January 29 by two men, who he has accused of launching a racist and homophobic attack on him.
He also discussed the incident on ‘Good Morning America’, saying it had all happened “so fast” while he was out getting food.
He recalled: “I went to the Subway, got my order. During that time I texted my manager, thinking that he was still in Australia … I said, ‘Call me when you can.’ He called me immediately and while he was on the phone, I heard as I was crossing the intersection, ‘Empire!’ And I don’t answer to ‘Empire’, my name ain’t ‘Empire’.
“And I didn’t answer, I kept walking, and then I heard, “f***ing ‘Empire’ n****r.’ So I turned around and I said, ‘What the f**k did you just say to me?’ And I see the attacker, masked, and he said, ‘This MAGA country, n****r,’ and he punched me right in the face. So I punched his ass back and then we started tussling.
“There was a second person involved who was kicking me in my back and then it just stopped and they ran off.
“It happened so fast. It felt like minutes but it was probably 30 seconds.”

The couple started dating almost 10 years ago after meeting on the set of the 2010 movie ‘The Last Song’ and Liam, 29, is happier than ever after the pair wed in Nashville, Tennessee in December.
He told ‘Sunday TODAY’: “We’ve been through so much together over the last 10 years, so [I] felt like it was time. I feel really happy and really fortunate to be with such a great person.

He said: “She will still be obviously known as Miley Cyrus, but she took my name, which is great. That was honestly one of the best things about it. I didn’t ask her to take my name, but she was like, ‘No, of course I’m taking your name’.”
Meanwhile, it was recently claimed that Miley “wants to have a family” with her new husband soon.
The source said: “Miley is not pregnant currently but does want to have a family with Liam. Miley and Liam say they felt married before their actual ceremony. Miley is so happy with her life right now. She’s finishing up recording her next album and she and Liam couldn’t be happier.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom want to have children as soon as possible.
The couple got engaged on Valentine’s Day (14.02.19) and both Katy and Orlando – who already has eight-year-old son Flynn from his first marriage to Miranda Kerr – are hoping to start a family together soon.
A source told PEOPLE: “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.”
Although Orlando, 42, surprised Katy, 36, with his proposal, the pair have been taking about marriage for some time.
An insider said: “They’ve been talking about getting engaged for a while. After reconciling Katy has felt very secure with Orlando and they both knew it was different this time. They made their relationship a priority and both of them literally flew all around the world to keep their relationship strong.
“She was in such a bad place after her split from [her first husband] Russell Brand, so to be getting married again is a huge deal. Their friends and family are so happy and excited for them.
“They are such a great couple. They really took their time to figure out if they could work as a couple. They really wanted to from the beginning, but things are not always easy. They are both proud of how far they have come. Everyone is super excited about the engagement.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jenna Coleman’s most embarrassing moment centred around a sandwich.
The 32-year-old actress – who has been dating fellow actor Tom Hughes since 2016 – has admitted she once confused a sandwich discount offer at a train station for someone asking her out on a date.
Speaking to the Guardian newspaper, Jenna – who previously dated Richard Madden from 2011 until 2015 – recalled: “Buying a sandwich at Leeds train station … The man said to me: ‘Do you want to go for a drink?’ I said, ‘I am so sorry, I’ve got a boyfriend.’ And he replied, ‘No, it’s a meal deal: if you take a sandwich, you can get a drink as well.'”
Jenna previously revealed that in spite of her success, she’s keen to take a step back from fame.
The brunette beauty appreciates that some aspects of her life are not “real”.
She said: “I did a world tour with [‘Doctor Who’ co-star] Peter Capaldi, which is a hilarious sentence in itself, and we’d turn up in Rio de Janeiro or Mexico and there’d be screaming people.
“But you have to go into it knowing it’s not real, so you dip in and have this amazing life experience, I think that’s the only healthy way. I don’t think it’s a very normal thing to be on red carpets with photographers – you have to remove yourself a little bit.”
Jenna is also grateful that she’s getting to live out her long-held dreams.
She shared: “From really early on it just felt right, it fitted. I loved to watch films and my head was always in books and stories. I just had to work out how to do it as my job.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Katy Perry was “shaking with happiness” after Orlando Bloom proposed to her.
The 34-year-old singer and Orlando, 42, announced their engagement earlier this week, and according to an insider, Katy was overcome with joy when the Hollywood star popped the big question.
An insider told People: “Katy was very surprised and shaking with happiness.”
Orlando – who has an eight-year-old son called Flynn with his ex-wife, model Miranda Kerr – approached the proposal in a traditional way, seeking her parents’ permission behind he asked Katy to marry him.
The source shared: “Katy’s family knew he was proposing. He talked to her parents about it before.”
Meanwhile, another source previously claimed Katy is convinced Orlando is the “right man for her life”.
The loved-up duo – who split in 2017, before rekindling their romance last year – are “over the moon” about the thought of married life.
The source explained: “Katy and Orlando have been looking forward to this day for a very long time and they are over the moon to embark on their lifetime commitment.
“They talked about an engagement even before their break-up in 2017 but Katy wasn’t ready. She just wasn’t ready at first but soon after some time away, she knew Orlando was the right man for her life.”
Although Katy and Orlando have tried to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, they’ve been planning to tie the knot for “a very long time”.
The insider said: “They have been very hush, hush about it but have known for a very long time they wanted to be engaged. They have been preparing for this.”

OHMYGOSSIP — John Legend finds it “stressful” to read the news.
The 40-year-old singer – who is married to model Chrissy Teigen – admits he finds it hard to read the news, but he’s insisted it’s still possible to instigate positive changes in the world.
He said: “It’s stressful to read the news sometimes.
“Sometimes we can get so frustrated and throw up our hands, and it’s important that we realise we can actually do something.”
John and his wife are both outspoken about various political and social issues.
And the chart-topping star thinks it’s important that music inspires “activism”.
He told the BBC: “I’ve always been inspired by Marvin Gaye.
“He showed us that activism can be part of your art; and that art can inspire other people’s activism.”
Meanwhile, Chrissy recently revealed that she and John are “both apologisers” whenever they fight.
The celebrity duo – who have kids Luna, two, and nine-month-old Miles – have the occasional argument over “scheduling and communication”, but Chrissy insisted their tiffs never last for long because they’re both happy to say sorry.
The model – who has been married to the award-winning star since 2013 – said: “It helps that John and I fight very differently. I get very passionate and loud, and he’s very much a diffuser. But in the end, we’re both apologisers; we don’t like to dwell on the same thing.
“A lot of our fights revolve around – we don’t have them often – scheduling, communication, or ‘You told me this, but I was holding Luna, and I was baking cookies at the same time, how was I supposed to listen to this and have a conversation?!'”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Downfall’ actor Bruno Ganz has died aged 77.
The Swiss star – who famously played Adolf Hitler in the 2004 drama movie – passed away at his home in Zurich on Friday (15.02.19).
Ganz was also a big name in German-language cinema and theatre, which he combined with English-language roles in movies like ‘The Reader’ and ‘The Manchurian Candidate’.
However, his most globally famous on-screen role was as Hitler in ‘Downfall’, with one particular scene – in which Hitler is seen in a state of fury – subsequently being parodied thousands of times.
The Oliver Hirschbiegel-directed film tells the story of Hitler’s final days and was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards.
Following the film’s release, Ganz revealed he studied historical records and observed people with Parkinson’s disease – which he believed the Nazi dictator had – in preparation for the role.
Despite this, he admitted he could not “claim to understand Hitler”.
He added: “Even the witnesses who had been in the bunker with him were not really able to describe the essence of the man.
“He had no pity, no compassion, no understanding of what the victims of war suffered.”
Ganz’s last on-screen role was in Lars von Trier’s 2018 movie ‘The House that Jack Built’.
He was also the holder of the Iffland-Ring – which is given to the German-speaking actor judged most significant and worthy – at the time of his death.
The actor was reported to have been diagnosed with intestinal cancer in 2018, and is survived by his son, Daniel.

OHMYGOSSIP — Jenna Coleman felt like Billy Elliot after being rejected by a drama school.
The 32-year-old actress was cast in the British soap ‘Emmerdale’ in 2005 whilst she was auditioning for various drama schools, but Jenna admitted that one particular rejection left her feeling like the aspiring dancer in the Stephen Daldry-directed film.
Asked about her biggest disappointment, Jenna shared: “Receiving a letter saying I didn’t get into drama school. I felt like Billy Elliot. It was a crushing moment.”
On the other hand, Jenna revealed the period following her exit from ‘Emmerdale’ in 2009 was one of the happiest times of her life.
The brunette beauty – who subsequently starred in ‘Doctor Who’ and ‘Me Before You’ – found the lack of certainty in her career to be a source of excitement.
She told the Guardian newspaper: “There was a moment in my early 20s when I’d finished ‘Emmerdale’ and didn’t know what was next.
“I drove from LA to San Francisco listening to Tracy Chapman and it felt like one of those pure moments of uncomplicated joy.”
In 2018, Jenna argued there’s a “void” of good roles for actresses.
The ‘Victoria’ star acknowledged that progress has been made, but also stressed that more needs to be done to tackle inequality within the entertainment industry.
She said: “I think this year has proved there’s an active interest in seeing a spectrum reflected back at you, rather than a stereotype, and people at the top realising that will sell and that’s what people want.
“But I do think there’s still a way to go – if you’re not playing the young girl or the mum or the older lady, there’s quite a void in roles for women.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Meg Ryan thinks “being a million years old” is freeing.
The 57-year-old actress got engaged to musician John Mellencamp in November, and she’s admitted to loving the freedom that comes with getting engaged in her 50s.
Meg – who split from John in 2015, before they rekindled their romance – shared: “What’s great about now is that John and I are so free to have fun.
“Maybe that freedom is about being a million years old. But I sometimes think relationships are for aliens. Who does it? Who can do it? I don’t know how any of us ever do.”
Aside from her wedding, Meg is also busy writing a new rom-com.
But the Hollywood star – who made her directorial debut with ‘Ithaca’ in 2015 – admitted she didn’t want to reveal too many details about the project because she feared “jinxing it”.
She told the New York Times newspaper: “You feel like you’re jinxing it if you’re talking about it.
“Hopefully it’s for me to direct. I’m aware now that romantic comedies are confections, but they have construction. There’s architecture.”
Meanwhile, in December, John claimed Meg is the funniest woman he’s ever met.
The loved-up duo confirmed their engagement on social media, and John subsequently heaped praise on his “funny” fiancee.
He said: “I’m engaged at 67 to a very funny woman. Funniest woman I’ve ever met.”
The pair have had ups and down during their relationship, but John thinks they’re now finally ready to get married.
Asked about their previous relationship struggles, John confessed: “I’m probably not the easiest guy to get along with. So let’s leave it at that.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Nico Tortorella drank Hilary Duff’s breast milk during a table read for the new season of ‘Younger’.
The 30-year-old actor has posted a video on Instagram in which he appears to drink Hilary’s breast milk from a cup during preparations for season six of the comedy-drama series.
He says during the clip: “I’m for real doing this right now.”
And after appearing to take a sip of the breast milk, he adds: “Mmm … Oh my God, it is delicious!”
Hilary, 31 – who has kids Luca, six, and three-month-old Banks – responds: “You’re a sicko, dude.”
But Nico subsequently asks: “Can I have some more?”
Earlier this year, Hilary admitted she doesn’t “leave the house” now she’s a mother of two.
The actress confessed that she and her partner Matthew Koma are finding it hard to unwind now they’re responsible for two children.
Hilary said: “I don’t leave the house anymore these days, I don’t know what to say. We feel good, we’re like, ‘Oh my goodness, it’s past our bedtime. We’re out and we’re raging, what is this?’
“I mean, our baby is 10 weeks old and I obviously have a six-year-old too, so we’re, like, full parents right now.”
The ‘Younger’ star couldn’t be happier, though, as she says her son Luca is “really sweet” around his younger sister, especially after discovering the tot is suffering with colic.
She explained: “[Luca’s] really sweet, he’s constantly, like, wanting to hold her little face.
“It’s really nice, you know, he’s very helpful and she is a colic baby so that’s been a little stressful. But I think we’re on the tail end of it which is very exciting, but it’s been great.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Paige thinks Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is “the biggest celebrity in the world right now”.

She said: “It’s incredible – he’s like the biggest celebrity in the world right now, so just to have his support is absolutely wonderful.
“I’ve always been a big fan of his, so it was … it’s brilliant.”
Paige also revealed she’s received plenty of support from her ‘Total Divas’ co-stars, especially Nikki and Brie Bella.
The wrestler-turned-actress – who stars on the reality show alongside the Bellas – told E! News: “We’re having a premiere here in L.A. and the Bellas are going to come along and Nia [Jax].
“They’re my really, really good friends, so they’re going to go there and support it.
“I love all the girls, we’re very close, we’re like a family, you know? All of them haven’t seen it yet … hopefully, they like it.”
Paige thinks her experience on ‘Total Divas’ has helped her to make the transition into movie acting.
She said: “‘Total Divas’ definitely had an impact on my career.
“Honestly, it opened up so many other doors. So it definitely had a huge impact and having my life out there helped me, helped the movie, too, because my life is being put on the big screen.”
Paige thinks the real-life element of the movie makes it “very relatable”.
She explained: “It’s just a beautiful underdog story that stemmed from humble beginnings up until you reach a common goal, so it’s a very relatable story.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Cheryl has seen two of her acts eliminated from ‘The Greatest Dancer’ at the semi-final stage.
The 35-year-old pop star – who serves as a Dance Captain on the BBC show – has lost Frobacks, the four-piece group from London, and Dane Bates Collective just before the final.
The elimination of the two acts means that next week’s final will be contested by KLA, Ellie, Harry & Eleiyah, and James & Oliver, all of whom did enough to survive for another week.
Earlier in the show, Oti Mabuse – who is another of the Dance Captains – was reduced to tears by KLA’s performance.
Oti, 28, admitted to being overcome with emotion after she watched them perform.
She said: “It’s only because I know how hard it is, and I know how hard they’ve worked. We’ve been in the studio … I’m sorry.
“I get so nervous when KLA dances because I know they can sometimes get overwhelmed by everyone.
“They don’t do flips and they can’t stand on their heads and do the jumping jacks that everyone can do. But they dance and they deliver, Latin and Ballroom.
“Girls I’m so proud of you, because you come out, you learn new dances in two days, you push yourselves and you use those umbrellas! I love you, never forget that.”
The episode also saw Pasha Kovalev dance alongside his ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ co-stars for the final time.
Pasha, 39, previously announced he was quitting the BBC show to seek out a new challenge.

OHMYGOSSIP — Winnie Harlow admits starring in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue is “an absolute dream”.
The 24-year-old model has revealed she’s fulfilled a long-held ambition by appearing in the pages of the iconic magazine issue, which has previously featured the likes of Elle Macpherson and Kate Upton.
Winnie – who was diagnosed with the skin condition vitiligo at the age of four – said: “Being able to say that I am in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue is an absolute dream that I never thought would come true.
“As a little girl from Canada, it was hard to imagine growing up that I could be just like the gorgeous women that I saw on billboards, on the runway and in any magazine.
“There are certain milestones in a model’s career that just make you feel like you have truly succeeded when they happen, and making my SI Swim debut is one of those huge moments. It’s a complete honour not just as a model, but as a woman of colour with vitiligo.”
Winnie said being the first model with the skin condition to feature in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue represents a milestone for the industry.
She told People: “I’m so excited for people to see vitiligo be put under such a beautiful, sexy light and prove that our bodies can be celebrated. And this goes for all body types and conditions. We’re redefining the swimsuit body.”
Winnie’s appearance in the magazine has also thrilled her family.
She said: “They have been so supportive throughout my entire career, so making my debut in SI Swim reminds not just me, but them, why I do what I do and affirms their never-ending support.
“I hope I can continue to make them proud.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Penelope Cruz doesn’t want to work with Javier Bardem “all of the time”.
The Oscar-winning actress and Javier – who have been married since 2010 – worked together on the drama movie ‘Everybody Knows’, but Penelope insisted they’ll only collaborate “when it makes perfect sense”.
Asked what she enjoys about working with her husband, the brunette beauty explained: “Well, there is a lot of trust and there is a similar way of working, so of course, it’s a great experience.
“But it’s not something we want to do, all of the time, even if it’s more convenient. We’ll only do it when it makes perfect sense, like in this piece or ‘Loving Pablo’.”
In the Asghar Farhadi-directed movie, Penelope’s character and Javier’s are not actually together.
But Penelope, 44 – who previously starred alongside her husband in ‘Vicky Cristina Barcelona’ – admitted it didn’t change how she approached the role.
Penelope – who has kids Luna, five, and Leo, eight, with Javier – told Collider: “We didn’t look at it differently because they were not a actual couple, in present time. What I like is that the characters are so different from ‘Loving Pablo’.
“We were, in no way, doing similar things, and that was one of the things that made us say yes. And we have similar ways of seeing the work. We even have the same acting coach, and a similar way to prepare. It’s not that everything is the same, but we understand each other’s process. So, once in awhile, it’s something we would like to do.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sarah Jessica Parker has been speaking to Andy Cohen on an almost-daily basis since he became a dad.
The 50-year-old TV star became a father for the first time on February 4, when he had a son called Benjamin via a surrogate, and Sarah has admitted she’s been trying to offer as much support as possible to her showbiz pal.
She shared: “We’ve talked almost daily since the decision [to have a baby] was made.
“He’s the kind of person who takes care of every detail immediately – very organised, very committed and loyal.”
The ‘Sex and the City’ star – who has kids James, 16, and nine-year-olds Marion and Tabitha with Matthew Broderick – admitted that becoming a dad for the first time marked the “closing of a chapter” for Andy.
She told People: “It definitely felt like the closing of a chapter – a way of celebrating the life he had made for himself and the new life that he was making.”
Earlier this month, Andy acknowledged he will be “forever indebted” to his surrogate.
The ‘Watch What Happens Live’ presenter – who is the first openly gay host of an American late-night talk show – praised the “incredible” woman who gave him the “ultimate gift” of becoming a dad.
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.”

The 35-year-old singer – who was previously married to fellow music star Blake Shelton – has revealed via social media that she and Brendan recently tied the knot, sharing pictures of their wedding day on Instagram.
She wrote alongside some romantic shots of the special occasion: “In honor of Valentine’s Day I wanted to share some news. I met the love of my life. And we got hitched! My heart is full. Thank you Brendan Mcloughlin for loving me for…. me. [love heart emoji] #theone (sic)”

She previously dated fellow musician Evan Felker until they split in 2018, when Miranda admitted her love life had been a “roller-coaster ride”.
Describing herself as “happily single”, Miranda – who was previously married to Blake from 2011 until 2015 – shared: “Love is a hard road sometimes and it’s been a roller-coaster ride for me, but I’m definitely thankful for all the ups and downs because I’ve had some really good songs come out of it. You’ve got to take the bad parts and put them on paper and then move on to the happy parts.”
Miranda also acknowledged that she faces the same “struggles” as many of her fans.
She said: “We’re all just living our lives and having the same struggles and the same joys and the same outlooks.”
