OHMYGOSSIP — Mandy Moore has accused Ryan Adams of emotional abuse.
The ‘This Is Us’ star – who was married to Ryan between 2009 and 2016 – is just one of seven women to accuse the singer of being “manipulative, controlling and obsessive”.
Actress and singer Mandy has alleged that Ryan was “psychologically abusive” and belittled her singing talents, adding: “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.”
And in a series of tweets posted after the New York Times newspaper article surfaced, Ryan apologised “to anyone he has ever hurt, however unintentionally”.
He wrote: “As someone who has always tried to spread joy through my music and my life, hearing that some people believe I caused them pain saddens me greatly. I am resolved to work to be the best man I can be. And I wish everyone compassion, understanding and healing. But the picture that this article paints is upsettingly inaccurate. Some of its details are misrepresented; some are exaggerated; some are outright false. I would never have inappropriate interactions with someone I thought was underage. Period. I am not a perfect man and I have made many mistakes. To anyone I have ever hurt, however unintentionally, I apologise deeply and unreservedly.”
Megan Butterworth, who Ryan was engaged to before she called off their romance in 2018, also accused him of being controlling and emotionally abusive.
Ryan denies all the allegations made against him.

OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Lawrence loves how her fiancé doesn’t treat her like a celebrity.
The ‘Red Sparrow’ star got engaged to art gallery director Cooke Maroney earlier this month and she loves how he doesn’t seem to be “affected by Hollywood”.
A source told People magazine: “He’s a great guy. He’s smart and funny and I think really keeps her on her toes and he doesn’t treat her like a celebrity like the other boyfriends did. He’s definitely the coolest guy she’s dated. [He’s] not affected by Hollywood.”
Meanwhile, Jennifer and Cooke’s romance was recently described as “like a fairy tale”.
An insider said: “When they were introduced last spring, the timing was perfect because they were both single, and just enjoying an evening out with friends. Things couldn’t have worked out any better because they have so much in common and truly hit it off. They both come from close-knit families. Cooke in Vermont and Jennifer in Kentucky and then left and built successful careers. They both love to travel but also just enjoy just being alone together. Jennifer and Cooke’s romance is a bit like a fairy tale. They had an instant attraction the moment they met and we tease them it was love at first sight. They got engaged because they both just knew it was right. They both want their wedding to be in New York mostly because they feel like New York is the place that brought them together and it works for their family and friends.”
Jennifer and Cooke were first reported to be engaged when the ‘Hunger Games’ actress was spotted wearing a “massive ring”. Her representative later confirmed the engagement.

OHMYGOSSIP — Jussie Smollett is “p***ed off” that people don’t believe the “truth” about him being attacked.
The ‘Empire’ actor was subjected to a “possible hate crime” last month when two assailants allegedly hurled homophobic abuse before punching him, pouring an unknown chemical substance over him and putting a rope around his neck, and not only is he still angry about what happened to him, he’s also annoyed that there have been so many false rumours surrounding the incident.
Speaking out for the first time in a preview of his upcoming interview on ‘Good Morning America’, he said: “I’m p***ed off.”
Asked why by host Robin Roberts, he replied: “It’s the attackers, but it’s also the attacks. It’s not that you don’t believe this is the truth; you don’t want to see this is the truth.
“It’s like, you know, at first, it was a thing of, like, ‘Listen, if I tell the truth then that’s it, because it’s the truth.’ Then it became a thing of like, ‘Oh, how can you doubt that? Like, how do you — how do you not believe that? It’s the truth.’ ”
Earlier this week, a spokesperson for the 36-year-old star – who was on the phone to his manager at the time of the attack – defended Jussie after it was claimed he had turned over his phone records to police but they were limited and heavily redacted and so did not “meet the burden for a criminal investigation”.
However, the actor’s representative insisted he had been as co-operative as possible.
They said in a statement: “Jussie has voluntarily provided his phone records from within an hour of the attack and given multiple statements to police.
“Chicago PD has repeatedly informed us that they find Jussie’s account of what happened that night consistent and credible. Superintendent Johnson has been clear from day one that Jussie is a victim.
“We are continuing to work closely with the Chicago PD and remain confident that they will find Jussie’s attackers and bring them to justice.”
“Any redacted information was intended to protect the privacy of personal contacts or high-profile individuals not relevant to the attack.”
Jussie returned to public life on February 2, where he told fans at a concert at Hollywood’s Troubadour club that he had “not fully healed yet” and was still suffering with bruised ribs.
The ‘Alien: Covenant’ actor previously thanked fans for their “love and support” following the attack.
He said: “Let me start by saying that I’m OK. My body is strong but my soul is stronger. More importantly I want to say thank you.
“The outpouring of love and support from my village has meant more than I will ever be able to truly put into words.
“I am working with authorities and have been 100% factual and consistent on every level. Despite my frustrations and deep concern with certain inaccuracies and misrepresentations that have been spread, I still believe that justice will be served.
“As my family stated, these types of cowardly attacks are happening to my sisters, brothers and non-gender conforming siblings daily.
I am not and should not be looked upon as an isolated incident.
“We will talk soon and I will address all details of this horrific incident, but I need a moment to process.
“Most importantly, during times of trauma, grief and pain, there is still a responsibility to lead with love. It’s all I know. And that can’t be kicked out of me.
“With Love, respect & honor…Jussie (sic).”

OHMYGOSSIP — Keith Richards is “drying out” and has cut back on drinking.
The Rolling Stones rocker has been making changes to a lifestyle after December turned into “one long party” that saw him celebrate both his 75th birthday and his 35th wedding anniversary with wife Patti Hansen, but he won’t be getting sober for good.
He said: “By January 1, you’re knackered. And that’s a good way to start a new year, right?! I’m drying out now!”
“I’ve knocked the hard stuff on the head. I have a little wine with meals, and a Guinness or a beer or two, but otherwise… no. It’s like heroin – the experiment is over.
“Mind you, if I meet you in a bar and you say, ‘Do you want a drink?’ – heheheh – I wouldn’t turn it down! I’m not a puritan in these matters. It’s just that it’s not on the daily menu anymore.”
The ‘Sympathy for the Devil’ hitmaker is also trying to quit smoking because it’s a “useless habit” and is finding it harder to kick cigarettes than he did heroin.
Speaking to the new issue of MOJO magazine, which he has guest edited, he said: “I have tried [to stop smoking]. So far, unsuccessfully! Lou Reed claimed nicotine was harder to quit than heroin.
“It is. Quitting heroin is like hell, but it’s a short hell. I mean, the actual process.
“Cigarettes are just always there, and you’ve always done it. I just pick ’em up and light ’em up without thinking about it.
“But lately, in fact – spread the news! – I’ve managed to cut it down by a substantial amount every day, and I’m still working on it.
“Because I realised I don’t need it. I realised it’s just a useless habit. But hey, when you’re 75, habits are pretty ingrained.”
Keith isn’t a big fan of exercise and thinks running in particular is “bad” for people.
Asked about his fitness regime, he said: “I get up. Ummm. And then, uh, you know, I sit down. I don’t do none of this trotting around, I think it’s bad for you. It’s bad on the joints, especially on concrete. I don’t go with that. It’s just not for me.
“It works for some guys, but y’know, it’s just… Mmm. Oh, and when I go to the islands, I do quite a bit of swimming.
“It’s not a regime, it’s just very nice to be in the water, and, uhh, you know… float about a bit.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Rebel Wilson didn’t expect Liam Hemsworth to be “funny’ because he’s “so hot”.
The ‘Hunger Games’ actor plays one of two of the 38-year-old comedienne’s alter-ego Natalie’s love interests in the forthcoming rom-com, Blake, and Rebel has confessed she never imagined he would be “the funniest guy” on set.
Appearing on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’, she said: “Normally, people that are so hot like that aren’t that funny.
“Turns out, he’s just such a legend and the funniest guy, so it was a good move for me casting him.”
Although the 29-year-old Australian star – who is married to Miley Cyrus – is good looking and hilarious, Rebel sad his dancing was questionable.
She admitted he did “really gave it his all” though.
The ‘Pitch Perfect’ star laughed: “He’s handsome and funny, and … you don’t need to do everything right.”
Liam was recently forced to miss the premiere and promo for the movie – which also stars Adam DeVine, and Priyanka Chopra – due to being hospitalised with kidney stones.
Rebel said at the weekend: “He texted us this morning – he was in hospital overnight, so hopefully he will be fine.”
He was also unable to see his wife Miley perform at the Grammys on Sunday (10.02.19).
The ‘Nothing Breaks Like a Heart’ hitmaker attended the premiere in Los Angeles in her spouse’s place and said he was “recovering”.
Miley took to Instagram to give an update on Liam by sharing a series of snaps of herself attending the premiere in her spouse’s place, and she gushed about how “proud” she is of her “hunky hubby” and his new comedy flick.
The 26-year-old pop star also admitted it was “hard” for Liam to put himself first, but said it was “crucial” for him to “heal” properly before returning to work.
Alongside a picture of herself walking the red carpet in a romantic red ball gown by Valentino, she wrote: “So proud of my hunky hubby @liamhemsworth & his newest movie #IsntItRomantic He unfortunately wasn’t able to attend due to health reasons… but he is recovering and taking this time to rest / heal. It’s hard for entertainers to put themselves before the project but this time it was crucial …. I am proud to represent him and his incredible work. So happy to see him shining in this comedy! He is the funniest person I know , and the world now gets to see the Liam I wake up to every day…. luckiest (sic)”
In another close up picture, she joked: “I did it for @liamhemsworth (but I also did it for @maisonvalentino) (sic)”
Alongside one of her standing in front of Liam playing the sax on a poster, she cheekily quipped: “Getting sick blows. But so do I. Get well soon babe. I love you. Play that sax you sexy f**k.”
Liam also updated his fans to say he was gutted he couldn’t attended the premiere due to “pretty annoying health stuff” and thanked his wife, who called “the best girl in the world” for stepping in for him.
Alongside a picture of Miley with his co-star Rebel Wilson, he added to his own Instagram profile: “Sorry I couldn’t make it to the @isntitromantic premier tonight guys. Been dealing with some pretty annoying health stuff the last couple days.
“Lucky I have the best girl in the world to represent for me! Thanks for the support babe! I hope everyone enjoys the movie! It’s a perfect Valentine’s Day flick so if ya ain’t got nothin better to do then go see it! Love to all! (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Josh Brolin is set to join the ‘Dune’ reboot.
The 51-year-old actor is the latest big name attached to Denis Villeneuve’s film adaption of Frank Herbert’s classic sci-fi novel, joining a growing and stellar cast that already includes Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya, Oscar Isaac, Stellan Skarsgard and Dave Bautista.
The ‘Deadpool 2’ star – who reprises his role of Thanos for ‘Avengers: Endgame’ this year – will play Gurney Halleck, who serves the Atreides family, Variety reports.
The role was perviously played by Sir Patrick Stewart in the 1984 David Lynch film.
The plot follows Paul Atreides, the son of the ruler of a family who is forced to escape into the desert wastelands and partner with its tribes.
The latest addition to the cast follows the announcement that Skyfall’ star Javier Bardem is set to play Stilgar, the leader of the rival desert planet Arrakis’ nomadic tribes known as Fremen, opposite Chalamet as Paul.
The plot sees villainous Baron Harkonnen (Skarsgard) and his nephew Glossu ‘Beast’ Rabban (Bautista), whose family once the land, battle Atreides as he leads a rebellion to restore his family’s reign of the planet which is the only source of the drug melange – also known as “the spice” – which is vital to space travel and the most sought after commodity in the universe.
Rebecca Ferguson is set to portray Lady Jessica, Atreides’ mother.
Villeneuve, Mary Parent, and Cale Boyter will produce the project, and Brian Herbert, Byron Merritt, Thomas Tull, and Kim Herbert will executive produce.
Legendary acquired the film and TV rights in 2016 after signing a deal with Herbert’s estate for his iconic tome.
The original 1984 movie featured Francesca Annis as Lady Jessica and Kyle MacLachlan as Atreides, whilst Sting also appeared in the film, the Lynch version.
Villeneuve previously admitted ‘Dune’ is his “dream project” as he was obsessed with the original film growing up.
Filming is due to commence in Budapest and Jordan in spring.

OHMYGOSSIP — Aaron Paul will appear in the ‘Breaking Bad’ movie.
The 39-year-old actor is set to reprise his role as Jesse Pinkman in the upcoming feature-length follow-up to the hit AMC series – which ran from 2008 to 2013 – and his character will reportedly provide the focal point to the film.
Sources told The Hollywood Reporter that the movie will be a sequel to the TV show and Netflix will have first-run rights to the project, before it will then air on AMC.
Showrunner Vince Gilligan is writing the movie and is also expected to direct, as well as executive producer alongside Mark Johnson and Melissa Bernstein.
Bryan Cranston – who portrayed mild-mannered teacher-turned-drug baron Walter White – recently confirmed the movie was in the works but wasn’t sure if he would be a part of it.
He said: “Yes, there appears to be a movie version of ‘Breaking Bad’.
“But I, honestly have not even read the script. So I couldn’t tell you.
“I have not gotten the script. I had not read the script, so there’s a question of whether we’d even see Walter White in this movie! Think about that one.”
But the 62-year-old star admitted he would jump at the chance to reprise his role should the screenwriter ask him.
He said: “I would, absolutely [be in it].
“It’s Vince Gilligan. If Vince Gilligan asked me to do it, sure, absolutely. He’s a genius.”
Though not much is known about the movie, the ‘Why Him?’ actor teased that it will allow some of the other characters’ journey’s to be completed.
He added: “It’s a great story, and there’s a lot of people who felt that they wanted to see some sort of completion to some of these storylines that were left open.
“This idea, from what I was told, gets into at least a couple of the characters who were not completed as far as their journey.
“I can’t wait to see all those people again … even if I just come by to visit!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Chris Harris says Matt LeBlanc was a “complete arse” during a scene for his final series of ‘Top Gear’.
The former ‘Friends’ actor will make his final appearances on the motoring show for the upcoming 26th series after announcing his plans to quit, and his BBC co-star has opened up about a moment Matt was sliding around during a shoot on the ice.
He told Digital Spy: “That was okay. I’m not lying when I’m sitting there next to him, I don’t like sitting in the passenger’s seat if someone else is sliding…
“Oh, he’s being a complete arse. He’s being an arse to wind me up! He’s fairly fearless. And also, he knows full well that if he crashes it, he can afford to buy another one! I can’t [laughs].”
He admitted his fear of heights made the situation worse when they were in front of a “400 foot drop”.
He added: “There are times when you think ‘this is as much as I want’, and as we were doing a three point turn I reckon there was a 400 foot drop behind me.
“In the Tuk Tuk, I just thought ‘that’s enough for me’. I’m not great with heights.”
Matt’s exit has sparked a reshuffle for the 27th series, with Rory Reid moving to a role on spin-off show ‘Extra Gear’, while Chris will be joined by ‘Take Me Out’ comedian Paddy McGuinness and Andrew ‘Freddie’ Flintoff.
Filming for that season is already underway, and it was recently revealed that Flintoff crashed his car into a market stall.
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.”
Matt LeBlanc’s final ‘Top Gear’ series will launch on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer on Sunday, February 17.

OHMYGOSSIP — James ‘Arg’ Argent wants to go on ‘Dancing On Ice’ – but plans to lose seven stone first.
The 31-year-old reality star has been a firm fixture down at the rink supporting his girlfriend Gemma Collins and her partner Matt Evers – who were voted off the show over the weekend – and he admitted he’s keen to follow in her footsteps next year, but needs to get back in shape first.
He told The Sun Online: “If I was to do ‘Dancing On Ice’ next year I’d want to lose seven stone. By this time next year I’d be a year and a half sober so I’d be in a pretty good position to do it.
“Gemma would love to see me do the show, purely for the fact that I’d go through everything that she’s gone through.”
Arg – who previously shed four stone in 2015 – enjoys exercising so plans to stay as active as he possibly can in his bid to beat the bulge.
He added: “I love boxing as well as running, walking and tennis – that’s kind of the sport I’m going to be doing.”
The ‘Only Way is Essex’ star thinks Gemma – who shed two-and-a-half stone on the show – looks “great” following months of training for the skating competition and while he hopes she’ll keep working hard to stay fit and healthy, it isn’t something he’ll be pressuring her to do.
He said: “She looks great at the moment. It would be good if she could continue her fitness, but that’s down to Gemma.
“It was never about her being fit – I just wanted to push her to do as well as she possibly could have done in the competition.”
Last year, Arg went to rehab for the third time to battle alcohol and drug addictions and he’s overhauled his lifestyle to try and stay on track.
He said: “I won’t be going on any boys’ holidays any time soon.
“I’ll be away with Gemma and spend my holidays with either close family or friends, and going to nice places.
“‘ve got my Spanish tour and a lot of gigs.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Selena Gomez is reportedly set to go on a world tour in support of her new album.
The ‘Wolves’ hitmaker told fans she had completed her much-anticipated follow-up to 2015 LP ‘Revival’ in August, and after releasing her comeback track ‘Anxiety’ with Julia Michaels last month, she is believed to have signed a huge deal with tour promoters Live Nation for the shows, which will reportedly take place next year.
The extensive run is to include the 26-year-old pop star’s first shows on UK soil in six years.
Selena has been in the studio fine-tuning her new record – which is as-yet-untitled – with her ‘Fetish’ producer Leland.
The ‘Back To You’ singer checked into rehab in October, after suffering an “emotional breakdown” following multiple hospitalisations due to issues related to Lupus and her kidney transplant, and wants to ensure she is well enough for the tour.
An insider told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “Leland has worked with Troye Sivan and Ariana Grande and Selena really enjoyed working with him last time so they got in the studio again.
“They put the finishing touches to her new album in December and now she is making sure she is well enough to go on tour, which will likely include UK shows in early 2020.
“She is working with her team to get everything in place then, all going well, she hopes to release the album this summer.”
The last time Selena performed in the UK was in 2013.
The singer was forced to pull out of the final leg of her ‘Revival Tour’ three years later, due to suffering from depression caused by her battle with the autoimmune disease.
The former Disney star appeared on a live stream on Instagram Stories with her close model pal Connar Franklin in August, when she declared that she was “done” with the record.
In the video, she was heard saying: “My album’s coming out later … I’m done with it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dave Grohl recently underwent surgery on his arm.
The 50-year-old rocker’s group Foo Fighters recently announced they would be pulling out of performing at the opening of The Fillmore in New Orleans on February 15 and 16 due to a “band member injury” and it’s now been revealed the ‘Walk’ hitmaker had been in hospital to treat a long-running problem.
Speaking to Live Nation president and CEO Michael Rapino at Los Angeles’ Pollstar Live conference, he said: “This is something I’ve had to deal with for a long time and it’s not the end of the world, but I did have to have surgery on my arm because I need it to pay the rent,” he said. “I knew I had to fix my arm at some point and I went ahead and did it.”
And Dave admitted the surgery gave him the opportunity to undergo some much-needed rest.
He said: “Right before they wheeled me in [for surgery] the guys said, ‘Hey, we’re going to give you something that’s going to make you feel really good’ and I thought I finally get to take a nap.”
The ‘Learn to Fly’ singer enjoys touring and insisted it is only work “if you don’t want to do it”.
He added: “I’ve never said, ‘Ugh, I have to go on stage and drink whisky and have 30,000 people sing my songs.’ It’s pretty f***ing cool.”
And the former Nirvana star insisted the group have no plans to ever go their separate ways, though he also admitted that in their early days, they often thought they would stop playing together after “one more record”.
He said: “It gets to the point to where I refer to it like imagine your grandparents getting a divorce.
“I’m sure it happens sometimes, but why? You can’t break up. Who even cares any more? Just go play shows.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Robbie Williams says he “will” return to ‘The X Factor’ despite drastic changes to the show.
The ‘Angels’ hitmaker joined the panel last year alongside his wife Ayda Field and their fellow newcomer Louis Tomlinson, and he has opened up on his future after reports the singing competition could be “axed” in its current form.
During an Instagram live session on Wednesday night (13.02.19), Robbie asked a fan if he should return as a judge this year.
When the follower said “yes”, he replied: “That’s it… it’s decided lads. And Ayda… that’s it. She is next door.
“I will go into there and tell her. I will say we should do it. We will do it.”
The video was deleted immediately from his page on the social media website, and follows reports regarding the future of Simon Cowell’s talent show.
A source said: “The decision has been made to drop X Factor in its current form. It has been 100% axed. The show is done.
“It’s being replaced by a show that’ll only be for celebrities. Members of the public won’t get to take part. So viewers won’t see new talent being discovered anymore. It’s the end of an era.”
Whilst changes are afoot for the format, it was expected that Robbie might make a return to the show this year, although there are fears his Las Vegas residency could cause a schedule conflict.
An insider previously added: “Producers were impressed with Robbie and Ayda last year and definitely want them back. But there’s a bit of a question mark currently over how auditions fit in with his Vegas residency.
“There’s talk of ripping up the schedule entirely to work around him. However, the problem is that if they do auditions in May that clashes with ‘Britain’s Got Talent’, which most of the crew also work on.
“If they push it back to July, then that puts serious pressure on producers to get all the stages of the show finished, so they’re stuck a bit at the moment.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Ken Dodd’s £27.7 million fortune will be donated to charities close to his heart.
The iconic entertainer sadly passed away in March 2018 aged 90, and his estate was left to his longtime partner Anne Jones.
However, the Liverpool Echo has revealed that Ken’s wife – who he was with for 40 years and married just two days before his death – will carry out his wish of using the money to benefit many local charities.
Lady Anne said: “Ken loved to make people laugh – it was his life, not just a job.
“He had no desire for the trappings of wealth and it was his wish that the majority of his estate will go to charities close to his heart, many of them local.
“As his wife, beneficiary of his estate, and also knowing the contents of the will he made some years ago, I will be able to honour his wishes.”
As well as the Ken Dodd Charitable Foundation – which the comedian founded several years before his death – the funds will also benefit the likes of St John The Evangelist’s church hall, which is just yards from his lifelong home.
She added: “While it is not a listed building it is in a conservation area and we need to work very closely with the appropriate authorities, and get their approval every step of the way.
“And it would be lovely if, when all the work has been done, it could bear Ken’s name.”
The ‘Diddy Men’ creator was born the son of a coal merchant in 1927 in the Liverpool suburb of Knotty Ash.
Ken began a career as a comedian in 1954, working in music halls, and achieved national fame and popularity by the 60s.
His recording of ‘Tears’, was the UK’s third-best-selling single back then, rivalling The Beatles, and he made it into the Guinness Book of Records for telling 1,500 jokes in three and a half hours.
The comic was a regular face on television throughout the 70s and 80s and became an OBE in 1982.
He received his knighthood in the New Year Honours in 2017.

After the announcement of the male line-up of the ITV charity show, the group of women set to try and outdo them has been revealed with the ‘TOWIE’ star leading the way.
She will be joined by ‘Love Island’ beauty Megan Barton-Hanson, ‘EastEnders’ actress Laurie Brett, tennis star Martina Navratilova, ‘Benidorm’ star Crissy Rock and So Solid Crew’s Lisa Maffia.
They will be guided through their routine by Victoria Derbyshire, Ashley Banjo and Coleen Nolan as they look to inspire them for the performance.
The ‘Loose Women’ star said: “I can’t quite believe I’m putting myself through this again! But the response last year from millions of women feeling empowered to check themselves was so incredible that I’m absolutely thrilled to be back leading our new line-up of fabulous ladies help break down barriers and get women talking about health checks.
“Having seen first-hand how critical finding cancer early can be, I really hope we can reach and encourage as many women as possible to check their breasts as last time, which ultimately can save lives.”
Broadcaster Victoria added she was “so proud” of everyone who took the advice of last year’s show and made sure to examine their breasts, have regular cervical smear checks and become more health aware.
Meanwhile, Diversity star Ashley said: “Helping last year’s incredible set of women pull together their performance really was one of my proudest moments; that makes me nervous but also extremely excited to be on this journey with this year’s brave group of women.
“They have got a lot of hard work in front of them but they know it will be worth it in the end, raising awareness of women’s cancers to millions. With Victoria and Coleen back, leading the team, I think it’s going to be another very special moment. I can’t wait!”

“Through the course of voicing the first ‘Lego Movie’ I got cast in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’, so I myself, a very ordinary, regular guy get given the opportunity to do something extraordinary.”

The EDM star took to Twitter to share a 30-second video from the upcoming music video for the track, which sees him running on a treadmill whilst Katy says: “What do you see here.
“Define obsession, define normal, define love.”
The song will be released on Valentine’s Day (14.02.19).
Zedd captioned the YouTube clip: “ZEDD & @KATYPERRY – “365”
Activating in 12 hours

#365AllTheTime (sic)”
After clicking on the link in his post, a screenshot from the video is shown, with animated versions of Katy – who is dating Orlando Bloom – and Zedd in a bed, with the caption “I’m feeling sexy” across the bottom of the image.
It was first reported that the pair were teaming up on a song after the chart-topping DJ – who has worked with the likes of Liam Payne, Alessia Cara and Maren Morris – revealed the pair had been in the studio whilst he’s supporting the ‘Part of Me’ hitmaker on the Australian and New Zealand leg of her ‘Witness World Tour’ last summer.
The ‘Middle’ hitmaker said at the time that he had no idea whether their song would make the final tracklisting of the pop star’s follow-up to 2017’s ‘Witness’.
The EDM star told Australian radio presenter Smallzy in a video interview: “I’m always relatively open about the fact that I make a lot of music with people.
“It doesn’t always come out, but we’ve been working. I always wanted to release a song with her, so if we all get lucky, then maybe we’ll finish the song and it will come out.”
The song follows Katy’s 2018 festive song ‘Cozy Little Christmas’.
It’s not know whether ‘365’ will be a standalone single or whether it will feature on the 34-year-old star’s sixth studio album.
