OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Kardashian West’s “sentimental” diamond necklace was dropped by the thieves from her Paris Robbery in 2016.
The ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star was left terrified when burglars broke into her Paris apartment and stole $10 million of jewellery back in October 2016, including the $4 million 20-carat engagement ring given to her by her husband, Kanye West.
However, the star shared an incredible story with her Instagram followers on Monday evening (11.02.19), of how she got back the “first piece of jewellery” she bought with her pay cheque.
Kim captioned the snap of her wearing the piece: “2007 throwback. So this necklace that I have on is a diamond cross from Jacob and it was the first piece of jewelry that I bought when I got my first check.
“When I was at robbedd this was taken from me. However on the way out the robbers dropped one piece of jewelry in the street and this was it. It’s very sentimental to me. Just wanted to share (sic)”
The 38-year-old star – who has North, five, Saint, three and Chicago, 12 months, with Kanye – previously admitted that she was finally beginning to be “OK” with the experience because she has “learned so much from it”.
Speaking at Variety and Rolling Stone’s Criminal Justice Reform Summit, she said: “I just felt like taking myself out of being a victim. I don’t ever really have a victim mentality. I’ve always tried to really genuinely learn.
And I feel like the way I was living my lifestyle, not that anyone should go through that, but I learned so much from it, and I’m OK with my experience, and I do believe that it was meant to happen to me because I’m a different person because of it.
“When you become a mom, you change anyway, but I think when your life is at stake over material items, it’s just … all of that stuff goes out the door. Like, none of it matters. Just my priorities completely changed, and what is important to me changed. I’m a better mom because of it. The things I’ll teach my kids are different.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Miley Cyrus says her husband Liam Hemsworth is “recovering” after being hospitalised with kidney stones.
The ‘Nothing Breaks Like a Heart’ hitmaker attended the 29-year-old actor’s ‘Isn’t It Romantic’ premiere on Monday night (11.02.19) in Los Angeles, as he was unable to attend due to his health issues.

A source said: “She seemed to be very happy, hanging out with her boyfriend and some friends. The kids were always out and about running around having fun, while Bethenny spent a lot of time hanging out on the beach, talking a lot and holding court with her group. She used the outdoor jacuzzi, spa steam room, and at one point, she and her boyfriend went for a walk and held hands. They seemed happy.”
Bethenny had a tough 2018 after the passing of Dennis and admitted she found it “hard to breathe” following his death.
She wrote on Twitter at the time: “It’s hard to breathe & I appreciate you giving me the space & support to try to do so. It’s excruciating-sudden death is no closure & constant ?s & memories.

No question that she did love this guy.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jodie Whittaker was asked to change her “very deep” frown line when she started her career.
The ‘Doctor Who’ actress is grateful she has never been “really impressionable” because she ignored the request and admits the wrinkle is now something she “wouldn’t change for the world” because it’s proven useful in her work.
She said: “I wouldn’t change it for the world and there are a lot of episodes where you’re squinting and I think if I didn’t have that frown line you wouldn’t know it was sunny.”
Asked by David Tennant on his podcast if she’d ever change it, she replied: “Would I heck! It’s not even vanity and I’m too young.
“I also think it’s an undeniable pressure on humanity at the moment to look your best a lot of the time and I’m lucky that my journey through the world of acting has been about screwing my face up and nagging my eyes out.
“It wasn’t about being the ingenue; there wasn’t that pressure to look a certain way.
“It has been asked though. There were certainly times when I was younger that in certain scenarios there were suggestions that ‘potentially you might want to think about certain stuff’, and it fascinates me.
“I think I was doing a camera test for something and – I will say something, because I can’t be arsed with the repercussions of what it was – and someone said [of the line] ‘It is very deep.’
“I don’t care, but I think ‘Thank f**k I wasn’t really impressionable.’ No, no I’m alright, thanks.”
And the 36-year-old star thought it was hilarious when she was asked to get some facial hair removed.
She added: “I got asked to get my ‘tache waxed and I didn’t know I had one. It was translated to me in Hungarian, it was so funny.
“I said I would probably be allergic to the wax. I said ‘Sorry you will just have to colour it in’.”
Jodie also revealed she was warned her acting ambitions were “ridiculous” by a school careers adviser so is thankful her parents urged her to ignore the advice.
She said: “My careers adviser at school, whoever that person was who I met for three hours, they said it was a ridiculous notion, in so much as it wasn’t secure. Nine out of 10 don’t make it.
“But I’m 15, shut up! I went home and my mum was furious.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Gemma Collins tried to quit ‘Dancing On Ice’ four times.
The ‘Only Way is Essex’ star – who infamously walked out of the ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ camp after just three days – was voted off the show on Sunday (10.02.19) but her skating partner Matt Evers has admitted he thought their time in the competition could come to an end “quite a few times” during training.
He told Heart Breakfast: “Gemma Collins did six weeks on ‘Dancing On Ice’. She was in the jungle for two-and-a-half days.
“There were quite a few times that I thought she was going to walk.
“Three or four times I thought ‘this could be it’.
“I always had to talk her down. If it wasn’t her nerves it was something else.
“There was a lot of conversation between us. A lot of 2am text messages saying ‘you can do this’.”
Matt also confessed both he and Gemma were “very relieved” that the judges opted to save Ryan Sidebottom and Brandee Malto after this week’s skate off because they knew they couldn’t “keep up” with the other couples left in the competition or successfully execute the judges’ challenges.
He said: “It was time to go, it really was.
“Gemma was relieved she knew she had done her time with the show, she knew the were much better ice skaters in the competition.
“We were both very relived to be kicked out as it had got to the point we couldn’t keep up with the other dancers, or the judges’ challenges.”
Gemma has previously pledged to buy Matt a Gucci bag to thank him for all his support on the show and it seems she’ll be fulfilling her promise in just a few days time.
Matt said: “She’s taking me to Harrods on Friday.
“A personal shopper contacted me and asked me to send screenshots of bags I like so they can have them all ready for me.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Freddie Flintoff crashed his car into a market stall while filming ‘Top Gear’ on Tuesday (11.02.19).
The former cricketer lost control of his vehicle during a high-speed race against his co-hosts Paddy McGuinness and Chris Harris through Mansfield town centre.
An onlooker told the Mirror Online: “Freddie has a lot to learn when it comes to being as good as the Stig behind the wheel.
“He and Paddy have only just started filming but it looks like they are going to get into a few scrapes, just like the previous hosts.”
It is believed the team were shooting a segment called Le Mansfield, a spoof on the Le Mans race, and were challenged to see how many laps they could do of the town centre in 24 minutes when the accident happened.
Thankfully, no one was hurt and the crash didn’t stop the show from filming.
A BBC studios spokesman said: “During filming in Mansfield town centre, which had been closed off to members of the public for health and safety reasons, Freddie’s electric car struck an unmanned, un-stocked market stall.
“Neither he nor anyone else was hurt and filming completed as planned.”
Freddie and Paddy will appear on the show alongside Chris later in the year, in place of Matt LeBlanc, who is returning to the US, and Rory Reid, who is moving to spin-off show ‘Extra Gear’.
And the programme’s executive producer, Clare Pizey, has backed the decision to bring in the two men because they had a great “spark” – but she also admitted they had made an unsuccessful bid to find a female co-host.
She said: “We looked at finding a woman presenter. We did you look… but you have got to think there’s a spark.
“They are two British guys who know one another. They live close to each other and that is going to be a shorthand in itself.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicki Minaj has cancelled her headline appearance at the BET Experience festival.
The star was offended by a misjudged – and since deleted – tweet posted by US entertainment channel BET during the Grammy Awards on Sunday night (10.02.19) which said she was “being dragged by her lacefront” after her rival Cardi B won the prize for best rap album.
Tweeting after the wig-based quip, Nicki said: “Young Money will no longer be apart of the BET Experience or award show. Summer Tour dates dropping soon”
Now, the company has issued an apology and insisted the post “should never have been written”.
In a statement, BET Networks said it has supported Nicki “from the very beginning and added: “Unfortunately, the respect we have for Nicki was violated by this post that should never have been written.
“The post does not reflect how we feel about Nicki. And further does not reflect our company values.
“We deeply apologise for the hurt, disappointment and confusion that this post has caused. We are committed to doing everything we can to address the situation.”
BET added it is “conducting an internal audit” over the incident, and said it has apologised privately to both the rapper and her team, while the post has been deleted.
The network added: “We understand Nicki’s position and look forward to continuing our dialogue with her.
“Finally, we apologise to all her fans. This should have never happened.”
Before the apology, Nicki shared a lot of messages from fans slamming BET for its joke, and even encouraged one follower to ask for a refund for the festival in June.
She added: “I can’t thank you guys enough for all the love & support you continue to show me. To everyone who said something sweet, thank you.
“Whether I read it or not, I felt it. From the bottom of my heart. I love you so much. So so so soooo much. Stay tuned (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — The 1975 have signed a new three album deal with Dirty Hit.
The record label’s founder Jamie Oborne has confirmed that the ‘Give Yourself a Try’ hitmakers – who have already released three chart topping LPs with the company – have agreed to extend their working relationship even further.
Speaking to Music Week, Jamie said “The 1975 extended their deal with Dirty Hit, The 1975 are with Dirty Hit for a long time.
“They ARE Dirty Hit, so of course they’d extend. The 1975 had a three-album deal and they’ve extended it for another three albums, which is amazing. Myself and the boys, we were so happy.”
The band – made up of Matty Healy, Adam Hann, Ross MacDonald and George Daniel – released their self titled debut on the label in 2013.
Three years later, they followed it up with ‘I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It’, and then last year the group released ‘A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships’.
News of their extended deal comes before the group unveil their fourth record ‘Notes on a Conditional Form’ on May 31.
Although the deal is with Dirty Hit, Jamie explained that the label will continue to work with Polydor when it comes to The 1975.
He explained: “People seem to think that Dirty Hit is a Universal label and it is absolutely not, it’s 100% independent.
“I have a joint venture with Interscope and Polydor on The 1975, because at the time it would have been a pointless, prideful decision to not partner with people who had the resources to help us move forward.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Cardi B used pearls from a “local craft store” to create her iconic Grammy Awards look.
The 26-year-old rapper – who scooped the prize for Best Rap Album prize at Sunday’s (10.02.19) ceremony for her debut LP ‘Invasion of Privacy’ – stepped out wearing archive Thierry Mugler couture from their 1995 catwalk show as her outfit of choice for the legendary evening.
And celebrity hairstylist Tokyo Stylez has revealed that bringing the whole look together, as it was portrayed in the designer’s autumn/winter 1995-1996 show, was very “inexpensive” and “affordable”.
Speaking to US Refinery29, Tokyo said: “I saw the old photos and brought that vision to life.
It was actually very inexpensive. I got the pearls at a local crafts store and the hair from the brand Lustful Hair. All of it was very affordable, so it didn’t cost much.”
And Tokyo felt the look paid homage to Cardi’s “freedom” as an artist.
He added: “I personally think [her look] represents her freedom as she has grown as an artist. I think she is taking more and more risks, and tonight that shows as she trusted her team to bring a lot of new looks to life that normally the powers that be would say no to.”
The iconic dress paid homage to the 1480s painting by Botticelli, The Birth of Venus, which depicts the goddess Venus rising from the sea on a scallop shell.
The ‘I Like It’ hitmaker was styled by her long-time collaborator, Kollin Carter.

OHMYGOSSIP — Behati Prinsloo is the new face of 7 For All Mankind .
The Victoria’s Secret Angel – who has daughters Dusty, two, and 11-month-old Gio with husband Adam Levine – was delighted to have been chosen to front the denim brand’s spring/summer 2019 collection because she’s always been a “jeans girl”.
Behati announced the exciting news to her Instagram followers and captioned a campaign image: “Mother, philanthropist, nature-lover, and self-proclaimed ‘jeans girl’. I am Behati Prinsloo. I am more than meets the eye. I am mankind. #wearemankind @7forallmankind (sic)”
7 For All Mankind will be adding new denim and ready-to-wear styles for both women and men, and the brand felt that featuring Behati in their campaign was a no-brainer because she fits their demographic perfectly.
In a statement released, the company said: “What we love most about Behati is that she is more than meets the eye, beyond being in this younger wave of iconic supermodels, she plays so many roles — a mother, a philanthropist, a wife and a nature-lover, to name a few.”
Behati – who famously returned to the ‘Victoria’s Secret’ runway just eight months after giving birth to Gio – has previously confessed that she spent much of her pregnancy and the newborn stage in “yoga pants” and was “enjoying getting dressed again” some months on.
She previously said: “I’m finally enjoying getting dressed again. I was pregnant and then breastfeeding for so long that I was literally living in yoga pants. But a few months ago I put them on and was like, ‘No, it’s time to put on jeans and wear a normal outfit.’ I love jeans and a T-shirt.
“Adam gets me crazy sneakers and I have a closet full of shoes, but I usually wear Dr. Martens. I’ve never been the kind of girl who wears heels in the day – it makes me feel uncomfortable and I’m way too tall.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ben Price has compared Nick Tilsley and David Platt’s relationship to biblical brothers Cain and Abel.
The ‘Coronation Street’ star has suggested he and his on-screen sibling – played by Jack P Shepherd – “fight and hate each other” but will always be bonded by “blood”.
He told Inside Soap: “It’s like a Cain and Abel situation – it’s blood. If you have a strong family, you can do whatever the hell you like to each other.”
Nick and David are going into business together on a new barbers’ shop on the cobbles after the former stole money from his grandmother Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls).
Ben added: “The good thing about David as a character is he’s morally a bit suspect. He’s like, ‘Okay, you nicked the money, but now I run the barbers”, and he can hold that over his brother.
“But Nick wants something else for himself – he doesn’t mind being in the factory, but he doesn’t like being beneath Carla.
“It’s family with Nick and David, so they can fight and hate each other, but they would turn on any outside influence.”
While many viewers were angry to see Nick take £80,000 from his grandmother for the business, the soap star admitted he has enjoyed another level to his character.
He explained: “I love Nick’s duplicity. He sees Shona involved with Canyton and the drugs, and he thinks it’s dark and dirty, whereas he reckons all he’s done is taken some money of his grandma… she won’t miss it, so it’s fine!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Gary Lucy stops his kids from seeing his racy TV scenes.
The 37-year-old actor – who has children India, 13, Elvis, seven, and Sadie, three, with his wife Natasha Gray – goes out of his way to make sure his children can’t see his saucy scenes on ‘Hollyoaks’ and ‘EastEnders’, but knows this may change as they get older.
In a guest column for Now magazine, he revealed: “My kids have seen me on ‘Hollyoaks’ and ‘EastEnders’ but they’ve never seen any of my saucy scenes. I make sure they don’t, but who knows when they get older!
“My eldest kids have watched me in ‘The Full Monty’ and they loved it, although my 13-year-old was mortified that Daddy gets his bits and pieces out at the end.
“She’s used to me acting, but not so used to me being plastered everywhere on the advertising boards with my kit off!
“To be honest, I should probably make the most of being paid to get my kit off, because at some point they’ll probably pay me to keep it on!”
The heartthrob is currently touring in ‘The Full Monty’ stage play alongside Andrew Dunn, Louis Emerick, Joe Gill, Kai Owen and James Redmond.
The former soap star also revealed that he “keeps an eye” on his children using social media because he wants to “protect” them.
He added: “As a parent, my job is to protect my children, and as they grow up you do have to take a step back and let them spread their wings.
“However, I think you have to keep an eye on social media. Now my daughter India is 13, she can go on things like Instagram and there’s not a lot I can do about it apart from teach her to dos and don’ts of the internet to try and keep her safe.
“I suppose the most important thing is making sure she knows she can talk to her dad about everything.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror’ producer Tananarive Due believes Hollywood “doesn’t understand the degree to which black people have loved horror”.
The UCLA educator – who teaches in the Department of African American Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles – acted as one of the executive producers on the new documentary which explores the work of black filmmakers and impact of black characters in the genre along with ‘Horror Noire’ author Dr. Robin R. Means Coleman and Fangoria editor-in-chief Phil Nobile Jr.
Due is also interviewed for the doc – which is airing on Shudder – and in it she theorises that Hollywood has missed the cultural significance of the horror genre for the African-American community.
Due said: “Hollywood doesn’t understand the degree to which black people have loved horror and how that love has been passed down to many of us from our parents. I watched these movies with my mother, Patricia, who bought me my Stephen King novel. She just loved horror films.”
Due – who teaches ‘The Sunken Place: Racism, Survival, and Black Horror Aesthetic’ at UCLA – believes that the civil rights struggle is directly connected to the cultural importance of the horror genre for her community.
She added: “My mother was a civil rights activist who experienced [racial harassment and violence] that didn’t end with the movement. And while I’ve never asked her, I believe that, somehow, horror films allowed her, with all of her scars, anger and fear, a way to heal and help us visualise trauma to prepare us for the actual fears of the world.”
Among the interviewees that appear in the documentary are director Jordan Peele and directors and cast members from classics like ‘Tales from the Hood’ and ‘Dawn of the Dead’ and it investigates how horror storylines have been used to as societal commentaries on race issues.
Peele received much critical acclaim for his 2017 film ‘Get Out’ which focused on African American character Chris Washington who is targeted by a racist community in a wealthy neighbourhood.
He is following that movie up by co-writing and producing the new ‘Candyman’ film.
The 1992 original was, like ‘Get Out’, centered around an African/America character – the murderous Candyman played by Tony Todd, who features in ‘Horror Noire’ – and was inspired by author Clive Barker’s short story ‘The Forbidden’.

OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Kardashian West has opened up about her battle with psoriasis.
The ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star first started suffering from the irritating skin condition, which causes red, flaky patches which can become itchy or sore, in summer 2016, when her mother Kris Jenner spotted a rash on her daughter’s legs.
The 38-year-old star had gotten rid of the patches a year later, but now she has taken to her Instagram Story to share the various treatments she is trying to cure it with, including a herbal ointment which she used on her face, as it has come back with a vengeance.
Kim captioned a picture of her face with the dark liquid spotted over her: “Psoriasis is the sh**ts!”
She then updated her fans to let them know what the marks were, adding: “It’s just herbal ointment.”
In the next post, she shared what appeared to be some kind of heated light stand, which said is: “My new best friend.”
The KKW Beauty business owner then showed her followers the psoriasis on her legs, and added the comment: “Sexy.”
Kim previously confirmed she gets a cortisone injection into her posterior “every few years” because of the condition.
She explained: “Every few years I get a cortisone shot. I just got one as my psoriasis was so bad in Vegas.
“That’s a little unknown fact of me – I have to get cortisone shots every few years.”
After Kim – who is expecting her fourth child, a son, via a surrogate mother in May – had her first cortisone shot, speculation spread that she’d had butt implants as pictures emerged of her with a dent in her butt.
She recalled: “I went to go get a cortisone shot in my butt.
“I lived right behind Kitson [a boutique]. One of my neighbours was a dermatologist at Cedars [Cedars-Sinai Hospital].
“I go in there and he’s like, ‘There’s a one in a billion chance that you will get a huge indent in your butt.’ Of course I get a huge indent on my butt.
“There is a picture of me in Miami wearing an electric blue dress, and another picture of me walking down Robertson.
“You see the indent. And I think that’s when the rumours started, ‘She’s had implants.’ ”
Kim – who already has kids North, five, Saint, three, and 12-month-old Chicago with husband Kanye West – admitted at the time that she had “learned to live” with the ailment and that it “doesn’t bother” her too much.
