OHMYGOSSIP — Jason Aldean and Brittany Kerr have welcomed a baby girl into the world.
The 41-year-old country singer and his 30-year-old wife feel their family is “complete” following the birth of Navy Rome on Monday (04.02.19), a sister for 14-month-old Memphis and half-sibling to Jason’s daughters from his previous marriage, Keeley, 15, and 11-year-old Kendyl.
Jason shared a photo of the newborn on his Instagram account and captioned the post: “Today our family became complete as we welcomed our daughter Navy Rome to the world.
“Born on 2/4/19 weighing 7 lbs 12oz and looking identical to her older brother. So excited to watch what life has in store for this little princess.”
Brittany shared the same picture but used a different caption.
She wrote: “We welcomed our daughter Navy Rome into the world today at 12:45pm 7lbs 12oz of pure preciousness [heart emojis] We love you so much baby girl!!(sic)”
The name of the tot was unlikely to have come as a surprise to fans as the pair had previously revealed their chosen moniker during a baby shower in November.
The couple previously enlisted the ‘You Make It Easy’ hitmaker’s daughters – who he has with ex-wife Jessica Aldean – to help with a video to reveal their new addition’s sex.
Jason said: “This is the only thing [Kendyl has] talked about for the last month.”
The video showed the girls holding Memphis and speculating they will be getting a new half-sister.
Kendyl said: “Girl…cos Memphis was a boy and I think you’ll have a girl this time.”
Keeley agreed: “I’m gonna go with girl because you’ve been a little bit sicker this time than you were with Memphis.”
The video then switched to the girls waiting with baseball bats, with Jason and Brittany ready to throw balls in the air for the girls to hit
Brittany said: “Jason and I already know what it is…This is just for the girls, to see their excitement.”
The girls then hit the balls which burst and release a giant pink cloud, to represent a female.

OHMYGOSSIP — 21 Savage’s lawyer has vowed to “fight for his release” after he was arrested by immigration officials at the weekend.
The ‘No Heart’ rapper – whose real name is She’yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph – was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Georgia on Sunday (03.02.19) after they alleged he is a British citizen and has overstayed his United States visa for over a decade and his legal team have now claimed his arrest was a civil law violation and accused the authority of refusing to release their client “on bond of any amount”.
In a lengthy statement, lawyer Charles H. Kuck criticised ICE’s actions, claiming they had proceeded following “incorrect information about prior criminal charges” and insisted the 26-year-old star “has never hidden his immigration status from the US government” as he applied for a new visa two years ago.
The lawyer also insisted the Department of Homeland Security “has known his address and his history since his filing for the U Visa in 2017”.
The statement urged ICE to release 21 Savage from detention because he is “not a flight risk” or a “danger to the community”.
It continued: “This is a civil law violation and the continued detention of Mr. Abraham-Joseph serves no other purpose than to unnecessarily punish him and try to intimidate him into giving up his right to fight to remain in the United States…
“This is a civil law violation, and the continued detention of Mr. Abraham-Joseph serves no other purpose than to unnecessarily punish him and try to intimidate him into giving up his right to fight to remain in the United States.
“He rose above the difficult circumstances of his youth to achieve success and make contributions to our society that rival any of those by a natural born citizen.”
Mr. Kuck vowed to continue to “fight” for the release of the rapper.
The statement concluded: “Mr. Abraham-Joseph has US citizen children that he supports and is eligible for relief from deportation. We and he will fight for his release, for his family, and his right to remain in our country. No one would expect less from him.”
ICE have yet to respond to the statement.

OHMYGOSSIP — Nick Cannon got “a little emotional” when he spoke to Wendy Williams about her illness.
The ‘Wild ‘N Out’ star – who suffers from lupus – has stepped in to guest host the 54-year-old presenter’s eponymous talk show for a few days while she takes an extended hiatus after suffering from complications with Graves disease and he admitted they both got tearful when they compared stories of dealing with an autoimmune condition.
Speaking on ‘The Wendy Williams Show’, he said: “It did because when I spoke to her she just said she feels y’all love, you know what I mean? And she knows that there’s probably a lot questions that haven’t been answered and stuff.
“But as someone who also deals with an autoimmune condition — I was diagnosed with lupus before — I know when you go through these things and these flair-ups and stuff, you never know.
“It’s day by day, y’all. You know, you one day could be a strong day and the next day you can’t even get out of bed.
“We was tearing up and everything because she said something to me that was actually really powerful. Because you know me and Wendy had a love-hate relationship over the years.
“But it’s nothing but love because I love my queen and when she said this, she said there can be negativity out there and she hears the things about people talking about her family unit and what’s going on and she was like, ‘You know what, we don’t want to bring that negative energy when you’re trying to heal.’
“You need your family and you need your friends in moments like this and that’s when love is truly tested. When you know I’ma stick through this regardless of what’s going on, we right there.
“So I spoke to everybody as a unit and we’re going to give her the same type of love because it’s all about this unit.”
Wendy wished Nick well with his three-day hosting stint but warned him not to get used to being in her chair.
He quipped: “She said, ‘Have fun, but don’t get too comfortable because I’m coming back.’ ”
The 38-year-old star also reassured viewers that Wendy is doing well, despite her absence from the screen.
He said: “I talked to her and honestly, she sounded amazing y’all. We jumped on the phone and first thing she said: ‘Nick Cannon, how you doing?’
“Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect at first. But her spirit was so big, it was so amazing.”

OHMYGOSSIP — BTS are set to present an award at this year’s Grammys.
The South Korean boyband will be making an appearance at the annual awards bash in Los Angeles on February 10, although it’s not yet certain which category they will be presenting, according to E! News.
Despite their global popularity, the K-pop group – which features V, J-Hope, RM, Jin, Jimin, Jungkook, and Suga – haven’t received a direct nomination for this year’s Grammy ceremony.
Instead, the ‘IDOL’ hitmakers have been given a nod in the Best Recording Package category, meaning that if they were to win the accolade, they will take to the stage with art director HuskyFox.
However, they will face stiff competition from St. Vincent’s ‘Masseduction’, Mitski’s ‘Be the Cowboy’, the Chairman’s ‘The Offering’ and Foxhole’s ‘Well Kept Thing’.
Meanwhile, RM previously admitted the band are currently riding the crest of a wave.
But the 24-year-old star also acknowledged that their fame and success can’t be sustained forever.
He shared: “We know that popularity is not forever. So we enjoy the ride, the rollercoaster, and when it ends, it just finishes.
“We’re on the jets and in the stadiums, but I don’t feel like it’s mine. It’s like we just borrowed it from somebody.”
Suga, 25, also insisted that even though BTS are the world’s most popular boyband, fans are largely respectful of their privacy.
He explained: “Fame is like a shadow. There’s light and there’s darkness; it’s something that follows you constantly and not something you can run away from.
“But people tend to respect our privacy. We go to art galleries a lot and people don’t really bother us, then after we leave they’ll make a [social media] post.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Adam Thomas would be tempted to join ‘Coronation Street’ “if the right character came along”.
The former ‘Emmerdale’ star – who quit his role as Adam Barton in 2018 after nine years on the ITV show – admits he may be up for following in his brother Ryan Thomas’s footsteps on the cobbles, but he didn’t depart the Dales with the intention of doing another soap.
When asked if he would ever be tempted to join the ‘Corrie’ cast in the future, he said: “Never say never but I didn’t leave one soap to do another soap.
“I left to get out there and try new things but if the right character came along I’d definitely jump on board.”
Adam is currently starring in new BBC daytime drama ‘Moving On’ and is to appear in new BBC drama ‘Pitching In’, but in between shooting shows he has landed a job with a property company doing up houses and selling them on.
He said: “In between jobs, I’ve got to keep a roof over my family’s head so I’ve been working three days a week for one of my mates who’s got a property business.
“Basically I find small residential properties, do them up and sell them on. I’ve always loved anything to do with property so why not get paid for doing it!
“Acting will always be priority but I’ve got to keep busy for my own sanity if nothing else.”
Despite departing ‘Emmerdale’ last year, Adam would be keen to return to the soap at some point, but hinted he has no plans to step foot on the Dales set anytime soon because he has “so much more” to do.
He added to TV Times magazine: “Of course, but not just yet, it’s only been a year and I feel like I’ve got so much more to learn and do.”
Adam recently revealed he had “made a fortune” working in property, and admitted it was a “great” career move for his “own sanity”.
He said: “I’ve made a fortune. I’m in between jobs.
“I was just at home, waiting for a phone call to do an audition – I needed something to tick me over.
“I’ve got a family to support at the end of the day, so I needed some sort of income.
“It’s great for my own sanity to get out there and start working.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ben Hardy has joined the cast of the upcoming thriller ‘Recovery’.
The 28-year-old actor is set to star in Adam Randall’s upcoming drama alongside Tim Roth, with the last lead of the three-hander now being cast ahead of a shoot in the spring.
The film – which will follow three men, one of whom is a terrorist, travelling together in a truck from London to Birmingham – is scheduled to begin production in March in the west Midlands in the UK and also in Belgium.
Roy Boulter and Sol Papadopoulos will produce for Liverpool-based Hurricane Films, while the British- Belgian co-production will also work with Umedia and backers Creative England’s West Midlands Fund.
Bankside Films is launching sales on the movie at this week’s European Film Market in Berlin.
It has not been revealed who Ben, 28, or Tim, 57, will play in the thriller – but Adam has admitted that Tim’s character will “hark back to his early roles”, such as that of the 1982 crime drama ‘Made In Britain’, in which he played a teenage skinhead.
Adam previously said: “Tim Roth is an amazing actor; I’ve been a fan of his for so long. This part harks back to his early roles – such as ‘Made In Britain’ and ‘Meantime’ – in which he played working-class characters on the fringes of society.”
Ben is fresh from his role as Queen drummer Roger Taylor in the award-winning biopic ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, which follows the extraordinary life of Freddie Mercury.

OHMYGOSSIP — Bros are reportedly set to sign a huge record deal with Warner.
Matt and Luke Goss have seen a resurgence in popularity since the siblings’ documentary ‘Bros: After The Screaming Stops’ aired last year, which looked at their bitter rivalry which led to their acrimonious split in 1992.
And after the pair announced a comeback show at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on July 5, it has now been reported that they are in negations for a massive money deal, which will see them release an album of new material and go on tour in the UK.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: “The brothers are thrilled by the explosion of interest in the band, and amazed that it took a documentary to set the ball rolling.
“They can’t quite believe their luck, but after quite a few setbacks after Bros broke up, they feel they were due a bit of good fortune.
“Now they’re ready to conjure up the same magic that made them an international phenomenon three decades ago.”
Since playing their 30th anniversary shows in 2017, Luke and Matt have vowed to never break up again because they’ve realised that the “incredible journey” that they’ve been on with their fans made at the height of their fame, in the late 80s, isn’t over yet.
Luke said previously: “We’ve made our decision that Bros will never disband again. We’re still on an incredible journey with our community of fans. We are brothers for life.”
Meanwhile, Matt admitted it was tough to make the film because it meant giving up his privacy.
The ‘When Will I Be Famous?’ hitmaker said: “We value our privacy most of all, which is why we’ve never milked our celebrity status for reality TV – so it was a fearful decision. This film nearly broke me. I didn’t want to finish it at one point. I just wanted to go home. I had my life and I love singing but it was starting to get too painful and our relationship was in real jeopardy.”
Bros released three studio albums, ‘Push’, ‘The Time’ and ‘Changing Faces’ between 1988 and 1991.

OHMYGOSSIP — Megan Barton Hanson says she will never date someone famous again after splitting from Wes Nelson.
The 24-year-old reality star confirmed last week she and the 20-year-old hunk – who she met on ‘Love Island’ last summer – had gone their separate ways, and she has now vowed to never date another celebrity again because there is “so much pressure” involved and it is “even more painful” when the romance ends.
Writing in this week’s Grazia magazine, she said: “It’s been a difficult few weeks to say the least. The flat Wes and I shared got broken into earlier this month, then I contracted a kidney infection and ended up in hospital. And then, last week, Wes and I broke up. Break-ups in the public eye are horrible, it seems like there’s always one person who tries to vilify the other. But there’s no need for it.
“I really thought he was The One and that we’d be together forever. I wanted a serious relationship, so it’s heartbreaking for me that it didn’t work out. I also feel disappointed for the people who invested in us.
“I am hopeful for the future, although I do worry about finding the right person. I don’t want people to approach me because I’m ‘Megan from Love Island’. I just want someone who is nice, normal and grounded.
“I am positive that I will meet someone who loves me for me, but I never want to date a person in the public eye ever again.
“It’s just so much pressure and it’s even more painful when it ends.”
Megan admitted that the pair split because they wanted different things in life, and she is hoping to be engaged by the time she is 30.
She said: “I really love Wes as a person, but we realised we are in very different stages of our lives and our priorities are different. I’m 24 and by the time I’m 30 I want to be engaged. Wes is only 20. He’s living his best life.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Paul McCartney finally feels he’s “made it” after being honoured with a Gold Blue Peter Badge.
The Beatles legend was given the iconic accessory before his performance at London’s The O2 in December and can be seen receiving the prestigious honour on the long-running children’s show on Thursday (07.02.19).
Paul, who was chosen to receive the badge for inspiring generations of people with his music, said: “That is beautiful, that’s a great badge. I will wear it with great pride. Yes! I made it!”
During his appearance on the programme, the 76-year-old musician also offered some tips on young people for how to write songs – even though he admitted he still “doesn’t know” what to do.
He told presenter Lindsey Russell: “The only advice really is to do it… a lot.
“I have a song-writing class and the first thing I say to them is, look, I don’t really know how to do this – and at first they kind of look at me, but when you think about it there is no formula.
“I know how to write one of my songs but I can’t say ‘you do it that way’, because it’s a very personal thing. So the advice really is to just do whatever it is you’re doing… a lot!”
The Gold Blue Peter Badge is the show’s highest honour and is awarded in recognition of those who show great expertise, are good role models and have encouraged and motivated children across many generations.
‘Blue Peter’s Editor Ewan Vinnicombe said: “Sir Paul McCartney has inspired generations of Blue Peter viewers to love music and be creative – a core value of Blue Peter. I’m thrilled that we have been able to honour the legend that is Sir Paul with our highest accolade – a Gold badge.”
Previous recipients of the badge have included J.K. Rowling, David Beckham, Ed Sheeran, Madonna, Sir Peter Jackson, Queen Elizabeth, her grandson Prince William and his wife Duchess Catherine.

OHMYGOSSIP — Kacey Ainsworth claims doing ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ has stalled some of her pals’ careers.
The former ‘EastEnders’ star believes the programme and other reality shows leave actors with fewer opportunities within the industry than they create, after “lots” of her friends blamed such series for “flatlining” their workload.
Quizzed on whether she would ever take part in the Latin and ballroom show if offered, she replied: “It’s a great programme but it does shut more doors than it opens and it’s crazy, because you wouldn’t think that, but it does.
“You wouldn’t get any roles. You’d get offered the next celebrity show and you’d end up doing ‘My Celebrity Dog’s Wotsits Are Bigger Than Your Celebrity Dog’s Wotsits’. Do you know what I mean? Unless you want to do musicals and stuff and no one’s ever seen you do anything like that before and you can sing, then that’s great.
“I only say that because I’ve had lots of friends who’ve been on it and they’ve all said to me that doing reality shows, not necessarily just ‘Strictly’, but doing reality shows has really flatlined their careers.”
While Kacey says it “doesn’t bother [her]” that she is always branded as an “ex-‘EastEnders'” star, she insists former ‘Coronation Street’ actresses such as Sarah Lancashire and Suranne Jones are not described as “ex-‘Corrie'” stars.
Speaking on the Series Linked TV podcast, she said: “It’s a funny thing about ‘EastEnders’, they don’t want you to leave there. You can get away with it if you come from ‘Corrie’. So Sarah Lancashire, Suranne Jones, they never put ex-‘Corrie’.
“But people like myself and Tracy-Ann Oberman who’ve left ‘EastEnders’ and created extensive careers outside, we’re always with that moniker. But it doesn’t bother me that much.”
The 50-year-old actress is best known for playing ‘Little’ Mo Slater on the BBC Soap from 2000 to 2006, for which she scooped a National Television Award and won two British Soap Awards.
She has since appeared in ‘Call the Midwife’, ‘Casualty’ and now stars as Cathy Keating in ‘Grantchester’.

OHMYGOSSIP — Lorraine Kelly was branded “sexist” by her guest Martin Clunes on Tuesday (05.02.19).
The Scottish presenter saw the funny side when the former ‘Men Behaving Badly’ actor reprimanded her for double standards after she expressed a desire to see ‘Poldark’ star Aidan Turner without his shirt on.
Lorraine lamented the fact the BBC drama had wrapped filming on its fifth and final series and, as a shirtless photo of the actor appeared behind her, she said: “What a shame. I wish we had a photograph we could remember Poldark by, ah thank you for that, lovely, that’s cheered us all up.
“Obviously the new series will be happening, not quite sure when it’s coming out, maybe in the summer and then that will be that. Just the re-runs and that photograph to remind ourselves.’
But her guest said: “That’s sexist. I could have you in a tribunal.
“If I said, ‘show that picture with her baps out,’ there’d be trouble.”
Lorraine giggled at the rebuke and insisted the photo was OK.
She said: “He’s not got his winky out! He’s just got his chest out.”
The 57-year-old actor also had the host giggling when he made some rude quips about his Valentine’s Day plans with wife Philippa Braithwaite, prompting Lorraine to swiftly change the subject.
This isn’t the first time Martin has caused a stir on daytime TV as ‘This Morning’ presenter Phillip Schofield was recently forced to apologise when he swore during an interview about his series ‘Manhunt’.
Martin said: “We thought it was a good time maybe to tell that story.
“I was playing the SIO (senior investigating officer), so I wanted to see how the rest of the team were towards him.
“We filled our boots and you come away thinking, ‘Thank god we’ve got a police force’. Which we won’t have if this current s**te-storm of a government have their way.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Elisabeth Moss and Susan Sarandon are set to star in the women’s rights drama ‘Call Jane’.
The upcoming film will be helmed by ‘Orange Is The New Black’ director Sian Heder and Elisabeth, 36, will also serve as producer alongside Robbie Brenner, David Wulf, and Kevin McKeon.
The film centres on housewife Joy, played by Elisabeth, whose life is threatened when she falls pregnant and so turns to an underground abortion movement, called the Janes, where she meets Virginia, who is portrayed by Susan.
The ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ star said: “I’m so excited to be bringing this beautiful script to life with Sian and Robbie and to be working with Susan, who I admire tremendously.
“The Jane Collective is an important and fascinating part of our history, especially for women.”
Elisabeth also explained how the “frighteningly relevant” story will be an “honest and brave film” with the help of the director.
She said: “We see their story unfold through the eyes of Joy, a complex character who represents many women caught between one period of time and the next.
“It’s also frighteningly relevant and timely to be telling this story right now and I know, with Sian at the helm, it’s going to be an honest and brave film.”
Producer Robbie insisted that her aim is to tell “meaningful and provocative stories” while still inspiring audiences with “honesty and relatability”.
She added: “As a woman and a mother of two girls, I feel a responsibility with ‘Call Jane’ to tell the incredible story of these brave women at a time when women’s rights and empowerment hangs in the balance.
“I have no doubt that Sian will craft a beautiful and important film with our dedicated and amazing cast, Elisabeth and Susan.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Christie Brinkley will walk the runway with her daughter Sailor Brinkley Cook at New York Fashion Week.
The iconic mother-daughter duo will be taking on the catwalk together at Elie Tahari’s upcoming show in New York on Thursday (07.02.19), and will close the exclusive event to celebrate the designer’s 45th anniversary.
The 64-year-old model and her 20-year-old daughter were chosen to close the show by Elie – who is famous for power-dressing and the interview suit for women in the 1980s – because the pair represent “timeless on-the-go” women.
Speaking to the New York Post newspaper’s Page Six column, Elie said: “The Elie Tahari brand has always been for every woman, and that is why I’m so excited about having Christie and Sailor walk in our show because Christie is timeless, and Sailor represents the cool, on-the-go woman who also wears our clothes.”
“It is important for me to make clothes for women of all types, inclusive of any age.”
Meanwhile, Christie – who has Sailor with her fourth ex-husband Peter Cook, and is also mother to Alexa, 33, who she has with first spouse Billy Joel, and Jack, 23, from her second marriage to Richard Taubman – has previously admitted that she relies on hair extensions to cover her thinning hair.
The model-and-actress’ natural blonde locks have lost a little of their lustre so she has gone “big on hair extensions” to give her hair the big bounce she loves.
She said: “A lot of women my age complain about hair thinning, and I get that because my hair is thinner than it used to be as well. I’m big on extensions.
“They’re so easy to put in – clip in, one two three, just a piece of cake. And I can use one of my extensions to make a ponytail.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Virgil Abloh’s harnesses are the “keystone” of his new Louis Vuitton collection.
The 38-year-old creative director’s “mid-layer” garments have been seen on Timothee Chalamet at the Golden Globe Awards and Michael B. Jordan at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, and the designer believes the eye-catching pieces are very “empowering”.
He said: “It was the actual very first thing I designed.
“I wore it to the Met Gala. . . . It doesn’t have the comfort or the security of a jacket, but it’s somehow empowering.”
Virgil viewed his pre-fall collection, including the harnesses, as a “safe haven” to experiment with some new ideas.
He told Vogue.com: “I see and understand the vitality of clothes that people actually wear.
“The pre-collection was a safe haven to test out ideas, to start defining that palette.”
Although the harness style vest features heavily in his pre-fall range, Virgil’s real focus for the brand is staple pieces, and so he is launching a standalone capsule collection called Staples Edition which will feature essential items such as camel coats, classic suits and jean jackets.
He said: “It’s clothing that you wear and don’t think twice about, it’s letting the savoir faire and the quality be the main signifiers and reasons to purchase.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sofia Vergara has launched an affordable denim line with Walmart.
The 48-year-old actress’ online-only collection for the retail giant includes almost 100 items such as jeans, denim jackets and graphic tees, in sizes ranging from 0-20, and each piece in the budget range costs $40 or less.
The ‘Modern Family’ star admitted that although she has “access to a lot of things”, she was inspired to create a reasonably-priced fashion line as “every woman owns [jeans] in 2019” and she wanted to see what she could create at a lower price.
Speaking to PopSugar, she said:”I love fashion, I love jeans, I love women. I like buying clothes and I have access to a lot of things, but I have always imagined what I could create at a lower price than what I already buy.
“I wanted to create a jean line because I think it’s one of the most important pieces of clothing every woman owns in 2019.
“I don’t know anyone who doesn’t own a pair of jeans. My mom is 70 and she wears jeans, my niece is 26 and wears jeans.”
The ‘Hot Pursuit’ actress explained that she chose to collaborate with the supermarket chain as she wanted to get her product “out there” and insisted that since her clothing came back from production, she hasn’t stopped wearing her jeans.
She explained: “I needed a retailer like Walmart to get it out there and I think we did a great job with the line.
“Since the moment the jeans came back from production, I’ve been wearing them! It makes me really proud to see them on the models. They are of all sizes and they all look so amazing.”
