Louise Redknapp working on comeback album

OHMYGOSSIP — Louise Redknapp is working on her first solo album in 19 years.
The former Eternal star took to her Instagram profile recently to invite fans to join her mailing list to keep tabs on the progress of her first record since 2000’s ‘Elbow Beach’.
Alongside the clip, she wrote: “Don’t forget to swipe up if you want to join my new mailing list and find out more about the new album.”
The 44-year-old star found fame in the 90s alongside sisters Vernie and Easther Bennett and Kelle Bryan in the R&B quartet and the group had a string of hits including ‘Stay’, ‘Oh Baby I…’ and ‘Just A Step From Heaven’ and a UK number two album with ‘Always & Forever’ as a four-piece.
Louise left in Eternal in 1995 to launch a successful solo career, releasing three studio albums, 1996’s ‘Naked’, 1997’s ‘Woman In Me’ and ‘Elbow Beach’.
Louise – who inked a record deal with Warner/Chappell UK last year – also took to her Instagram Stories to host a mini Q&A with her fans about the album, and she revealed her dream duet would be Sam Smith.
She said: “I would have to say Sam Smith because he’s just got such an amazing voice and I love his album.”
The ‘2 Faced’ hitmaker also said she’d jump at the chance to collaborate with Kylie Minogue.
She said: “So if I could do a duet with Kylie, it would be a dream come true, I am like proper fan-girling over Kylie. I love her.”
Though Louise hasn’t release a record since 2000, she has had a number of compilations, with the last being 2002’s ‘Finest Moments’.
In 2003, the former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ star released the charity double A-side single ‘Pandora’s Kiss/Don’t Give Up’, which charted at number five in the UK, and raised money for the Tickled Pink campaign for Breast Cancer Care.
‘Don’t Give Up’ was released as a single available only in Asda supermarkets.
Meanwhile 2019 didn’t get off to a great start for Louise, as she was rushed to hospital after suffering a nasty fall, which left her with deep gashes on her chin and a fractured wrist.
This meant she had to temporarily take time off from playing Violet Newstand in Dolly Parton’s West End musical ‘9 to 5’.
However, she is now back to herself and working hard at her new music.

Saara Aalto to pen songs with Faye Tozer

OHMYGOSSIP — Saara Aalto is set to write songs with Steps star Faye Tozer.
The Finnish pop star – who shot to fame after becoming a finalist on ‘The X Factor’ in 2016 – supported the ‘Tragedy’ hitmakers on their tour last summer, and now she has revealed she is planning to hit the studio with the 43-year-old star once she is finished with ‘Dancing on Ice’ after they hit it off at the shows.
Saara told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “On the tour we became friends and we are planning to do something together.
“She really wanted to write with me so hopefully that can happen in the near future.
“We were going to do it during the tour and we were really excited but then ‘Strictly’ happened for Faye and then ‘Dancing On Ice’ for me . . . so hopefully after that.”
The 31-year-old singer – who recently released her powerful music video for ‘Dance Like Nobody’s Watching’, which tells the story of a transgender dancer – didn’t say whether the material they plan to work on will be for herself or a new Steps record.
However, the latter are planning a follow-up to their 2017 comeback LP ‘Tears on the Dancefloor’ for 2020.
Claire Richards – who completes the band along with Ian ‘H’ Watkins, Lee Latchford-Evans and Lisa Scott-Lee – launched her solo career last year and released her debut solo LP ‘My Wildest Dreams’ this month, and she said fans will have to wait until next year before they release new music and go on tour again.
She said: “Steps are back together and we are going to record a new album this summer. I think it will probably be out in spring 2020, and hopefully there will be a tour next year as well.
“It’s not easy but we’ve all got incredible partners and families.
“We’re not the only people in the world with children and families, and the kids love it.
“While they’re at an age they still enjoy it and we’re young enough, we’re grabbing every opportunity with both hands.”
As for Saara, she released her first album on Warner Music, ‘Wild Wild Wonderland’, last year.

Justin Bieber was involved in ‘every step’ of House of Drew

OHMYGOSSIP — Justin Bieber was involved in “every step” of his fashion line House of Drew.
The 24-year-old singer – who is married to model Hailey Bieber – launched the range with his stylist Ryan Good and his collaborator has praised the ‘Sorry’ hitmaker, claiming his “eye for fashion” is one of the “most valuable tools” the brand has.
In an interview with GQ.com, Ryan said: “He’s involved in every step of it, from what we want to make to how we’re going to shoot it to how visuals are going to look and how we’re going to roll it out.
“That’s one thing that’s really important to me. He’s got a great instinct and you’ve seen him over the years–even just how his style has evolved and his eye for fashion.
“It’s not just his impact, but his actual eye for fashion is one of the most valuable tools that our brand has.”
Ryan admitted that although Justin and Hailey are valuable assets to promote the fashion brand because of their fame, their main impact comes from simply how good they look wearing the clothes.
He said: “Of course, it’s cool, him and his wife and their impact on fashion from an eyeball standpoint, but the truth is that they both actually just know it.
“You can see his impact in fashion for sure on other brands. I think more than anything, it’s because they both look so good in clothes.”
The designer and longtime friend of the ‘Baby’ singer also revealed that the musician is very “detail-oriented” when it comes to designs.
Ryan explained: “[He is] specific. He’s detail-oriented, which is awesome. How things are fitting to very specific technical details.
“The form and shape and material and softness and etcetera ‘Maybe this could feel a little bit softer. This is not soft enough'”.

Pusha T says Kanye West ‘upgraded his style’

OHMYGOSSIP — Pusha T credits Kanye West for “upgrading his style”.
The 41-year-old rapper – who is president of West’s record label, G.O.O.D. Music – has revealed that the ‘The Life of Pablo’ hitmaker helped him “step up” his wardrobe by teaching him about high fashion brands.
Speaking to Grailed, Pusha said: “I knew that once I got [signed] to G.O.O.D. Music, I had to upgrade my style. I knew that I had to step it up.
“Ye [West] put me on to brands that I wasn’t as knowledgeable about, brands like Phillip Lim; he definitely put me on Dries [Van Noten]. I was the ‘dope boy’ here next to more conscious, backpack rappers. It’s like, ‘How do I dope boy this high fashion?'”
The rapper also learnt a lot of “fashion-forward” tips from ‘Happy’ singer Pharrell Williams.
Pusha said: “What people don’t know is, Pharrell has always been fashion-forward. When I met him, he was local. He wasn’t in the game, he wasn’t making money. We were riding our bikes through the streets type s**t. Still, he was always fashion forward.
“When we started playing with the idea of doing music, I was just learning from him. He always said, ‘Man, be a risk taker, number one, but also be identifiable. Have your style be identifiable and separate yourself.'”
And it’s not just his peers who have been influential as the Daytona’ hitmaker also admitted growing up in Virginia Beach had a “heavy influence” on his music and wardrobe.
He added: “Man. Virginia Beach, I have to say, was a melting pot for all types of people. During that time, the years in which I was growing up, we had a heavy, heavy New York influence.
“Virginia Beach was like the first Miami Beach. It was the first South Beach. Before there was Freaknik in Atlanta, or Memorial Day in Miami, it was Virginia Beach. We saw everything. Every rapper was talking about coming to Virginia Beach. It was in everyone’s bars. You just got to see all of that energy, all of that style, all of that influence.”

Ant and Dec’s DNA Journey to air in autumn

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Ant & Dec’s DNA Journey’ will hit screens in the autumn.
The 43-year-old TV presenter’s new 90-minute show – which will see them tracing their family history in a bid to learn more about their heritage – was shot in 2017 but was later halted after Ant was arrested for drink-driving.
ITV boss Kevin Lygo said: “We had to stop filming as they hadn’t quite finished it, but I’ve seen the first part and it’s absolutely brilliant.
“They’ve got a bit of filming to do to finish it and it should go out late in the autumn – it will be a big thing.
“We test their DNA and they go back and find relatives they didn’t know about. The DNA profiling is so accurate and detailed.”
Ant, 43, took time off from work commitments following a drink-driving conviction in March last year and a stint in rehab.
The TV presenter returned to work in January 2019 alongside his regular co-host Dec to front the ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ auditions.
However, ITV bosses confirmed last year there will be no episodes of ‘Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway’ in 2019 as the star’s break from TV meant there was no time for the duo to prepare for the show, which would have aired in spring.
And Kevin has now said the show will be replaced by extra episodes of ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ and Dermot O’Leary’s ‘Small Fortune’ rather than one programme.
He is quoted by the Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: “We’ve mixed and matched – it would be such a curse on some poor sod if they had to be ‘Oh, I’m the new ‘Takeaway’.”
Ant – whose marriage with make-up artist Lisa Armstrong ended in 2018 – previously revealed he was secretly drinking in order to cope with the “stresses and strains” of his life.
He confessed: “Life hit me hard. I was going through a lot of personal stuff that was very publicised.
“The problem is you take something or you drink to escape from an underlying unhappiness.”

Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham ‘will never do another TV show again’

OHMYGOSSIP — Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham will never appear on another TV show again.
The reality TV star says she and her boyfriend – who shot to fame by winning ‘Love Island’ last summer – will be “keeping everything to [themselves]” from now on, because people have had too many “opinions and judgements” about the pair since they triumphed on the ITV2 show.
In response to a fan on Twitter who pleaded with her to “do another programme”, she replied: “We won’t ever be doing another show again. Too many opinions and judgements. Keeping everything to ourselves from now on (sic)”
Dani’s comments come after 26-year-old Jack revealed earlier this week that he has taken cocaine since swapping his career as a pen salesman for show business.
He said: “I’m in a new world of partying and stuff, and being in circles that I would never normally have been in. I’d never normally be in these situations but, yes, since winning the show I have been offered cocaine a lot.
“But I went out all night, I was drinking and I just got carried away and made a stupid, stupid mistake which I wish I’d never done, you know. I regret it.”
Jack insists he made a “complete error in judgement”, and says taking the Class A drug isn’t something he will ever do again.
He added: “In the past I would never have found myself in a club where everyone wants to be your friend – but obviously they’re not really your friends at all. Before I couldn’t really afford to go out and drink all night with how expensive it is.
“But all of a sudden I’m being offered free drinks the whole night, getting more drunk than I ever would have been before and I’ve gone along with it. That night it was a complete error in judgment. It’s a silly thing to do, it’s not something I’ve made a habit of. I mean, what an idiot.
“It’s not a reflection of my character, but I’ve had a blowout. It was a lapse in judgment, but it’s not something that I’ll ever do again.”
Last year, Dani – whose father is ‘EastEnders’ actor Danny Dyer – blasted speculation that she and Jack are “together for money”.
Jack shared a black and white photo of himself and Dani on Instagram with the caption: “Yo little guy.”
Dani replied: “Love you baby. oh wait wait maybe I shouldn’t say that because we together for money apparently??
“Yeah tbh I should get paid for picking up your pants…(sic)”

Cardi B slams money critics

OHMYGOSSIP — Cardi B “hates” being told what to do with her money.
The ‘Bodak Yellow’ hitmaker insists she works hard for her cash and hates how people criticise her when she drops big money on something “extravagant”, as she claims the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) takes nearly half of her money in taxes.
Speaking in a video posted on her social media page, she said: “Do you know what I hate? I hate when celebrities do something very extravagant or buy something very luxurious and there’s people in the comments like, ‘You could have donated that’, ‘Oh, we’re going backwards – you should have done this and that.’ It’s like, who are you to tell people what to do with their hard working ass money?
“We get 45 percent [of each pay cheque taken by the IRS so] that means in order to spend 500,000 you’ve got to make at least a million. Artists like me and a lot of rappers that I know, they literally take care of their whole family and that’s not tax deductible because the IRS don’t consider that ‘a business’. My bills, I’ll say it’s about 300,000, 250,000 every single month. And I try to put it cheaper and it just is not.”
And Cardi certainly won’t be splashing the cash on designer clothes for her little girl Kulture, but the reason for this is far more practical than just to save a few pennies.
She said: “You wanna know something funny? You buy so many clothes for babies and then the couture stuff and the expensive name brand stuff, you put it on her and then it’s like right away she throws up, she drools, or she might crap on it and she’ll end up being in a Target outfit, like a Target onesie. My best pictures and videos and pictures of her, she’s like in damn pyjamas.”

Michael Douglas is keen planner

OHMYGOSSIP — Michael Douglas “plans” his life a lot more now he is getting older.
The ‘Basic Instinct’ star is always getting “teased” by his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones and their children – Carys, 15, and Dylan, 18 – for scheduling holidays and days out but he says it is important to do so as he knows his time is “finite” now.
He said: “The upside of ageing is that you choose how you spend your time much more carefully. Rather than just going with the flow you wake up in the morning and you think about what you are going to do that week and how you are going to spend your time.
“The kids and Catherine always tease me because I am planning holidays three and six months ahead. There’s much more planning your time because all of a sudden, you don’t have this infinite amount of time. Your time is finite now.”
However, the 74-year-old actor – who also has son Cameron, 40, with his ex-wife Diandra Luker – admits he finds it “tough” to remember lines from his movie scripts.
He added: “Memory is tough. Memorising lines takes longer and I don’t like that anxious feeling that you don’t have it locked in. But hey, I am 74 and in most jobs they kick you out at 65. So I love what I am doing and it keeps me going. I can only play so much golf.”
Michael’s father is Hollywood star Kirk Douglas and he admits there are big “advantages” to being the second generation of actors.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, Michael shared: “The biggest advantage of being second generation is that when you start your own acting career you have grown up seeing your dad with Tony Curtis, Frank Sinatra and Gregory Peck at home, and you have seen their insecurities and what they worry about. You see them as real people and it helps you to have a better understanding about the business.”

Brooklyn Beckham getting photography lessons

OHMYGOSSIP — Brooklyn Beckham has been getting lessons from Kim Kardashian West’s wedding photographer.
The 19-year-old aspiring snapper has become good friends with Conor McDonnell, who has been like a mentor to Brooklyn and he is keen to “replicate his success”.
A source told The Sun’s Bizarre column: “Brooklyn’s photography career is going from strength to strength and Posh wants the very best to be guiding him. Conor is at the top of his game, having shot Kim and Kanye’s wedding at the young age of 22. Brooklyn is hoping to replicate his success. Conor has been giving Brooklyn some private lessons and they even went out to the Masai Mara, in Africa, to picture the wildlife. Being a similar age, Conor and Brooklyn are also great friends.”
Brooklyn moved to New York City to study photography at college, and had previously admitted he was “nervous” about leaving his parents – David and Victoria Beckham – and his siblings, Romeo, 16, Cruz, 13, and Harper, seven, behind.
He said recently: “I’m actually moving to New York in two weeks. I’m kinda just gonna disappear and study for a few years and see what happens after that. I’m nervous about moving away from my family, that’s one thing that I’m really scared of, but I feel like it’ll be good for me to live on my own for a bit and really knuckle down on what I really love and study.”
And whilst Brooklyn seems to be taking to his new career with ease, he admits he gets “shy” when taking photographs of models.
He said: “I do backstage photography at my mum’s shows, and I mean, I love doing it – but my mum’s like, ‘Go take pictures of the models!’ and I’m a bit shy. So I kind of have to get the first two out of the way, and then I’m used to it.”

Foo Fighters launch their own one-day rock school

OHMYGOSSIP — Foo Fighters are launching their own rock school in the UK – for one day only.
Dave Grohl and co have announced ‘Rocksteady: Just PLAY Foo Fighters’, a free live music education experience, which will enable young budding musicians to learn how to play parts of the ‘Learn to Fly’ hitmakers’ hits in just half an hour.
The event will take place on February 16 at Rocksteady Music School venues in Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Manchester, Northampton, Nottingham, Portsmouth, Guildford, Kingston and Romford.
Anyone aged five to 16, of all capabilities, can take part.
On top of experiencing what it’s like to play in a rock band, the kids will be entered into a prize draw to win exclusive merchandise including t-shirts, vinyl albums and signed drumsticks by the band.
Rocksteady’s CEO, Scott Monks said: “If you can help a young person feel like a rockstar for a day you can inspire them into a lifelong love of making music and you can’t get much more inspirational than the Foos!
“One of the exciting things about this event is that it is for everyone, regardless of ability. If you’ve ever dreamed of playing in a band or trying a new instrument, make sure you come along and get involved – it’s going to be an unforgettable day for everyone.”
The experience is based on Dave’s two-part documentary ‘PLAY’, featuring a 23-minute composition inspired by his kids.
The 50-year-old rocker teamed up with his ‘Sound City’ and ‘Sonic Highways’ collaborator, Mark Monroe, on the project last August, to celebrate the rewards and challenges faced with learning to play a musical instrument.
The former Nirvana drummer – who has daughters Violet, 12, Harper, nine, and four-year-old Ophelia with wife Jordyn Blum – explained: “Watching my kids start to play music and learn to sing or play drums, it brings me back to the time when I was their age listening to albums, learning from listening … and when I take my kids to the place where they take their lessons, I see these rooms full of children that are really pushing themselves to figure this out.
“And even now, as a 49-year-old man, I’m still trying to figure it out … it’s not something that you ever truly master.
“You’re always chasing the next challenge, and you’re always trying to find a way to improve on what you’ve learned.”
The first part of the film discussed the art of playing an instrument and featured behind the scenes footage of the recording and shooting of the performance.
The ‘Monkey Wrench’ hitmaker’s 23-minute “one-man-band” titular instrumental is then played, with Grohl playing all seven instruments on the track, kicking off with the drums, guitar, bass, keyboards, and so on.
Each was recorded for 23 minutes per instrument and if Dave felt he had made a mistake, he would begin the recording again.

Jessica Simpson launched limited-edition maternity line

OHMYGOSSIP — Jessica Simpson released a maternity line because she felt her clothing options were “very limited” during her first pregnancy.
The 38-year-old singer-and-actress has six-year-old daughter Maxwell and five-year-old son Ace with her husband Eric Johnson and is currently pregnant with her third child, another daughter who she plans to name Birdie.
Jessica had the “hardest time” finding clothes that could cope with large baby bump but were still fashionable when she was expecting her first child so decided to create her own “on-trend” limited edition line with Motherhood Maternity.
In an interview with InStyle, she said: “The reason I wanted to do my own maternity line was because I had the hardest time finding maternity clothes I liked during my first pregnancy.
“I wanted to wear clothes that were as cute and on-trend as the clothes I was wearing before I was pregnant and I felt very limited in my options.
The ‘Dukes of Hazzard’ star went on to explain that certain items in her capsule collection can be worn “long after” pregnancy and revealed that she was attracted to “bold, feel-good colours” whilst curating the line.
She said: “This duster is going to be in my closet long after Birdie is here, when you’re pregnant, some days are harder than others to get dressed, so I love a long kimono or duster over just about anything and have been gravitating towards bold, feel-good colours. This yellow is sunshine.”
The ‘Employee of the Month’ actress added: “I love to mix and match different fabrics and patterns, and I think it’s flattering I have also learned to not shy away from embellishments and bold patterns.”
The Jessica Simpson x Maternity line is available now.

Troian Bellisario’s mom guilt

OHMYGOSSIP — Troian Bellisario struggles with mom guilt.
The ‘Pretty Little Liars’ star admits she finds it difficult to leave her little girl – who she welcomed a few months ago with her husband Patrick J. Adams – but if she does have to go away, she needs to “fill up her creativity well” or she won’t want to “engage” with her daughter when she returns.
Speaking on Katie’s Crib podcast, she said: “I want to be there for her all the time, but that’s not possible. I become an empty well because I’m somebody who needs to work. I love working, I love being creative, and I want her to see that. I find that if I don’t fill up my creativity well, even if it’s meditation or exercise or I go get coffee with my writing partners … then I return to her, and I don’t have anything to give her. If I feel good and I’m fulfilled, I want to engage with her.”
The couple announced their new arrival with matching pictures on their Instagram accounts.
The ‘Suits’ actor captioned his post: “The world just got 8lbs heavier. Thank you to everyone who fought for and protected our privacy during this incredible and beautiful time in our lives. Everyone is happy and healthy and loving every moment of this. I could not be more excited to bring a baby girl into this world at this moment. We will raise her to be powerful, to always speak her mind and heart and to live without fear. It’s a brand new day and a brave new world and they are both beautiful.”
Whilst Troian wrote in her own post: “I couldn’t be more proud to be her mother. To bring a new girl into this world and to do my best to raise her to be kind, strong and whatever the heck she wants to be.”

Priyanka Chopra ‘always wanted’ to take Nick Jonas’ surname

OHMYGOSSIP — Priyanka Chopra “always wanted” to take Nick Jonas’ surname.
The ‘Quantico’ actress has added the singer’s surname to hers since they tied the knot in December but decided to keep her name too because she doesn’t want to “take away” her identity and instead “add” him to who she is.
She said: “The gravity of it, it’s like a big deal! I didn’t realise it was that much of a big deal until I did it … No, I always wanted to add his name to mine because I feel like we’re becoming family, and I’m a little traditional and old school like that. But I don’t take away my identity. He gets added to who I am.”
And Priyanka says married life is “very different” as the pair now share their homes in New York and Los Angeles.
Speaking on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, she added: “Nothing works in my house because I’m never in my house. So the coffee machine doesn’t work, the air conditioning makes some sounds. It’s cute, my house is beautiful, but nothing works. And everything in Nick’s house is immaculate. Like his alarms work. My alarms never work! My doorbell doesn’t work.”
The couple tied the knot during a three-day wedding and they wanted it to be “super intimate”, despite Indian weddings traditionally being much larger.
She shared: “One Indian ceremony, one western Christian ceremony, and one day of pre-rituals, which we have in the Hindu wedding. Usually Indian weddings are 1,000 people at least. We had only 200, which was mostly family because both of us have giant families. I think we just wanted to keep it super intimate.”

BBC confirm Silent Witness return

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Silent Witness’ will be back for another series.
The long-running crime drama – which recently celebrated its 200th episode – aired its 22nd season finale on Tuesday night (05.02.19) leaving viewers desperate for more, and the BBC have confirmed that fans have got their wish.
Emilia Fox, who plays forensics anthropologist Dr Nikki Alexander, and Liz Carr, who portrays forensics expert Clarissa Mullery, will reprise their roles in the 23rd series.
A tweet on the official BBC Twitter account read: “There’ll be more blood, guts and brilliant forensic work when #SilentWitness returns for season 23. @TheLizCarr @EmiliaFox (sic)”
Showrunner Kiaran Murray-Smith has revealed the scripts for the veteran drama are already in the “pipeline”.
Speaking to Radio Times, Kiaran said: “I think we managed to get three or four scripts for the next series already commissioned and already being written, already being done.
“There’s people having conversations now about where episodes one, two, three, four, five, six are going. That’s already in the pipeline.”
Emilia has starred as her alter-ego, Dr. Nikki Alexander, on the detective drama for 14 years, and the star previously admitted that she thinks “good writing” helps ‘Silent Witness’ stay fresh.
She said: “Good writing, that’s what it’s about.
“And picking subjects which are current and keeping it mixed up with having a thriller, or having an action one, or having one which is very, very medically led.”
Emilia, who joined the show in 2004 following the departure of Amanda Burton, also pointed to the uniqueness of the programme setting it apart from others in the genre.
She added: “I think that the interest is finding the clues through the bodies, so it makes it a bit different to the normal detective drama.
“So you’re really having a behind-the-scenes look at how to solve crime and they try and keep that as true to life as possible.”
