OHMYGOSSIP — Ariel Winter celebrated her 21st birthday with a pizza party.
The ‘Modern Family’ actress turned another year older on Monday (28.01.19) and shunned a traditional night out to mark the milestone, instead opting for a casual evening in with her friends eating Dominos pizza.
The brunette beauty took to Instagram to share a video of herself blowing out a candle on top of a cheese and tomato pizza as her friends sang happy birthday in the background. Ariel simply captioned the video: “21”.
The post comes just days after the star spoke out against Instagram trolls who claimed she was “too skinny” and assumed she had undergone plastic surgery to enhance her appearance.
Over the weekend, one Instagram user insisted that Ariel must have had surgery, and accused her of “chopping up her body” after she shared a photo of herself at a friend’s birthday wearing a jumpsuit showing off her slender figure.
The user wrote: “Nothing wrong with being honest and telling her we liked her better before ‘the change’ she was so beautiful before she started chopping up her body and if me saying so helps one gurl out here to feel beautiful who’s thinking of PS its worth it.(sic)”
Ariel promptly replied to the troll: “I appreciate you wanting to help girls love themselves the way they are, but you are also kind of cutting someone (me) down which isn’t what I think you were trying to do, I also didn’t get plastic surgery. That is also not being supportive of women if you’re just assuming something about the way the look. (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ariana Grande’s tattoo now reads “Japanese BBQ finger”.
The ‘Thank U, Next’ hitmaker accidentally paid tribute to a tiny charcoal grill with the Japanese inking she had etched onto her palm earlier this week when she had meant to pay tribute to her new single ‘7 Rings’, and although she’s had the tattoo amended, fans have pointed out on social media the message still isn’t right.
Ariana revealed she had been back to her tattoo artist to add more characters to her design after the first gaffe, but social media users pointed out the correction isn’t exactly what Ariana had intended.
One user wrote: “Why… how… now Ariana’s tattoo reads ‘Japanese BBQ finger (sic)”
Whilst another added: “For anyone who wonders, it now says she has bbq fingers. The only way you get 7 rings is if you read from the top to the bottom and then left to right. (sic)”
Earlier on Thursday (31.01.19) the ‘God Is A Woman’ singer took to social media to share the updated ink.
She wrote: “slightly better. Thanks to my tutor for helping me and to @kanenavasard for being a legend. And to my doctor for the lidocaine shots (no joke). (sic)”
But the 25-year-old star joked she’s missing the old tattoo already.
She added on the Instagram post: “RIP tiny charcoal grill. Miss u man. I actually really liked u. (sic)”
Ariana admitted earlier this week she had made a mistake with the tattoo, which led to the word ‘shrichirin’ being etched on her palm.
However, Ariana suggested she wasn’t planning to have it amended because she claimed she wouldn’t have been able to cope with the pain of having it made longer and wasn’t expecting the design to stay permanently anyway.
Acknowledging the error on her Twitter account, she wrote in a now-deleted message: “Indeed, I left out [some characters] which should have gone in between. It hurt like f**k n still looks tight. I wouldn’t have lasted one more symbol lmao. But this spot also peels a ton and won’t last so if I miss it enough I’ll suffer thru the whole thing next time (sic)”
And she admitted she liked the unintended message.
She added: “also….huge fan of tiny bbq grills (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Serena Williams wants to teach her daughter that it’s “okay to make the first move” when it comes to her future career.
The 37-year-old tennis star welcomed her daughter Alexis Olympia – whom she has with husband Alexis Ohanian – into the world 17 months ago, and has said she wants to make sure the tot knows how to “embrace” being a strong woman.
When asked what she wants to teach her daughter about being strong, Serena said: “Embrace it.”
The sporting superstar then spoke about her partnership with Bumble, a dating app in which women make the first contact with matched users, which also has a business version designed to make contacts to further careers.
Serena – who is a global ambassador for the app – added: “I want to teach her that it’s OK to make the first move. It’s OK to ask and to say, ‘Listen, I want a chance at being in this play. Like put me in. Or just give me this first opportunity.’ There’s so many different ways to showcase that.”
The beauty went on to discuss her own career as a tennis player which started when she was 14 despite being told she was too young, and said she wants her daughter to have the same kind of determination that she did when she was a child.
Speaking on ‘Good Morning America’, Serena said: “I literally made the first move. My dad said I was too young and I was so small and I wasn’t ready but I knew I was ready and I made that first move and I want my daughter to be able to do the same thing. We’re taught as a society that we have to wait and be second but that’s not true, we can be first. I love being first. I only like being first.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Cardi B has said she’s “working things out” with Offset.
The ‘Bodak Yellow’ hitmaker split from the Migos rapper – with whom she has daughter Kulture, six months – in December, and after it was recently reported the pair have reconciled, Cardi has admitted she’s working on patching up her relationship with her husband.
Whilst headed to a court hearing on Thursday (31.01.19), one reporter asked Cardi if she was back with Offset, and she responded: “Working things out, baby.”
Her comments come after it was claimed she was planning to return to their marital home in Atlanta for the first time since she accused him of being unfaithful to her.
Sources said Cardi agreed to take Offset back after he proved his dedication to their relationship, with one of the key factors in the 26-year-old star’s decision being the ‘Motorsport’ hitmaker agreeing to change his phone number.
In order to show Cardi he is serious about honest and faithful, Offset has vowed his new line will only be accessible to his wife and business associates.
The couple have also agreed a ‘no groupies’ rule and as a result, Offset won’t allow any female fans near him when Migos perform their Super Bowl shows over the weekend.
Meanwhile, insiders recently said Cardi was no longer planning to divorce Offset, and hasn’t filed any paperwork to officially terminate their marriage.
One source said: “A divorce isn’t on Cardi’s mind anymore. She has been focusing more on how they are going to work this out. The negativity of their relationship has blown over and she’s staying positive that it will work.
“Cardi is keeping a close eye on him and has expressed if he slips up again, she’s done.”
The ‘I Like It’ singer announced her split with Offset last month after a year of marriage, with an Instagram video claiming the pair still had “a lot of love” for one another.

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ has axed eight cast members, including Jon Clark, Myles Barnett, and Kady McDermott.
Producers of the ITVBe reality show have made the move to remove a whopping eight faces ahead of the show’s 24th series, as they make room in the programme for new stars.
Jon, Myles, and Kady will be joined by Jon’s brother Chris, Dean Ralph, Jordan Wright, Adam Oukhellou as the stars who are departing from the show.
A source told The Sun Online: “Towie bosses have had their biggest ever casting drive so far in the show’s history. Casting producers have been hanging out in all the top Essex hotspots like Sheesh to find the next generation of stars.
“As a result there will be some departures. Jon, Chris, Dean, Jordan, Myles and Kady have been told that they won’t be returning next series, although the door is always left open.
“Some of the stars have been told they’re departing before but have then come back.”
For Jon – who has been on the show since 2016 – the decision comes as producers claim he has been struggling with the “intensity of the show” and needs a break, suggesting he may return in the future.
The insider added: “Jon has really struggled with the intensity of TOWIE. Since last series he’s really been working hard on getting himself into a good place and he’s mutually agreed with TOWIE producers that it’s best if he continues to take a break from the show.”
Meanwhile, Myles was reportedly told to leave the show because he hasn’t got any “real friendships” following his split with Courtney, and his new girlfriend Kady – who had a showdown with Courtney last series – will also walk away from the programme.
A ‘TOWIE’ spokesperson said: “Every series we review our cast to ensure we’re following the lives of those who are most interesting and willing to share their real lives and relationship highs and lows.
“A number of cast have been notified that they’re not being contracted for the start of series 24 as we look to bring in some fresh new faces, however we’ve always maintained that cast can return as and when the timing is right for them and the show.
“It’s how TOWIE has stayed so fresh and exciting for nearly a decade.
“We remain grateful to every single cast member that has featured in TOWIE and contributed to its huge success.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Love Island’ couple Kaz Crossley and Josh Denzel have split.
The former couple found love on the ITV2 reality show last year when they managed to finish in third place, but it seems their relationship has taken a turn for the worse, as six months after finishing the show they have called time on their romance.
Make-up artist Kaz, 23, posted a picture of the couple from a recent holiday in Jamaica on Instagram on Thursday (31.01.19) and wrote: “Sometimes things don’t go they way you planned, but you have to be grateful for the journey. Thank you for everything especially showing me how to love myself again.”
And Josh appeared to confirm the news when he replied to the post with an unhappy emoji.
The split comes after they enjoyed a romantic break in Miami and then Jamaica over New Year, before Kaz headed to Thailand with a group of friends and celebrated her birthday without Josh.
Fans speculated about the breakup when Kaz returned to the UK earlier this week, as she went to stay with her ‘Love Island’ co-star Laura Anderson instead of Josh.
Kaz and Josh’s split comes as several stars from last summer’s series of ‘Love Island’ have seen their relationships come to an end, with Megan Barton Hanson and Wes Nelson ending their romance last week following tensions over his ‘Dancing on Ice’ stint.
Laura Crane and Jack Fowler split last august, whilst both Samira Mighty and Frankie Foster and Laura Anderson and Paul Knopps called it quits shortly after leaving the villa.
Georgia Steele and Sam Bird also split last year, as did Charlie Brake and Ellie Brown.
Meanwhile the show’s winners Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer suffered a rocky patch last month when they temporarily called it quits, but are now back together.

OHMYGOSSIP — Michael Parr and Isabel Hodgins have reportedly split.
The couple – who both starred on ITV soap ‘Emmerdale’ – began dating in 2015, but reportedly decided to call it quits a few months ago when Michael left his role as Ross Barton on ‘Emmerdale’ in order to try and crack America, whilst Isabel, who plays Victoria Sugden, stayed behind.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “They drifted apart and felt it was better to be mates. He has been throwing himself into his social life and has just been on a lads’ hol and she is focusing on work, they’re both young and want to follow their dreams.They had a meaningful relationship and they’ll remember the good times.”
Isabel is ‘Emmerdale’s longest-running actress and has been playing Victoria since she was 12, whilst Michael joined the show in 2013 and began dating Isabel a couple of years later.
The pair first confirmed their relationship a year after they started dating in July 2016 when each posted snaps from identical locations while on a romantic break in Paris, and Michael later posted a gushing tribute to his partner for her birthday.
The 31-year-old actor wrote: “Happy 24th birthday to this little one. Who woulda thought that 5’2 (and a half) could pack so much love, devotion and attitude. Thank you for being the most wonderful and caring best friend a boy could ask for. Love you to the moon and back. X.”
Michael left ‘Emmerdale’ last year, and has since moved to America to try and land a role in Hollywood.
He said of his plans: “My granddad fought in Vietnam and got based over in Warrington, England, met my nan, who was a Scouser, shipped them over to Brooklyn, because his family are from Brooklyn.
“When he was going round the airbases my mum was born in Oregon and my mum was born in Mississippi.
“I feel like I’ve had a big American influence in my life, obviously because my mum is American. I feel like it’s always calling me. At some point I will [live there].
“I just think it’d be so cool to just maybe do a year in New York and maybe go for it in LA, see if I can get some work out there.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Anne Hathaway refuses to let herself feel “mommy guilt”.
The 36-year-old actress has two-year-old son Jonathan with her husband Adam Shulman, and has said she always tries to be “nice” to herself when it comes to judging her own parenting skills, because she’s “not big” on letting herself feel guilty for the decisions she has to make.
She said: “I try to be nice to myself. I’m not big on mommy guilt. I just don’t really do it unless I really, really, really, really, really need to.”
And the ‘Serenity’ star admits that she finds it the hardest to not feel guilty when she’s taking on “isolating” characters in films, because she feels as though she isn’t spending enough time doting on her son whilst she’s in character.
She added: “It’s hard when you play characters that are isolated. I just did one this summer. My God, she was such an island, and it’s a little harder because I’d be holding [Jonathan], but I felt like I wasn’t really giving it to him.
“If I’m in a character for three months, I make sure that I’m not in character for three months. That way I’m never asking for him to share me for too long.”
Anne always tries to remind herself that when she’s taking on a role, she won’t be in that headspace forever.
She said: “With that one, I just say to myself, ‘It’s three months. It’s three months and you’re doing your best.’ The way I counteract is to the best of my ability.”
The ‘Ocean’s 8’ star knows that’s “just what life’s going to be” until her son grows up, and says she wants to get better at being “nimble” about her personality changes in and out of character.
Speaking to Jess Cagle for People’s ‘The Jess Cagle Interview’, she said: “I just want to figure out how to become nimble at it. I don’t know if I’m that nimble at it yet.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Offset has been “trying to convince” Cardi B to take him back ever since they split up in December.
The married couple – who have six-month-old daughter Kulture Kiari together – separated last month after Cardi accused the Migos rapper of being unfaithful, and amid recent rumours that they’re working on a reconciliation, sources have now said Offset has been doing his best to get his wife back ever since she called time on their romance.
An insider told People magazine: “He has been pursuing her hard and trying to convince her to get back together with him since the day they split.”
It comes after the ‘Bodak Yellow’ hitmaker admitted she was “working things out” with the 27-year-old rapper.
Whilst headed to a court hearing on Thursday (31.01.19), one reporter asked Cardi if she was back with Offset, and she responded: “Working things out, baby.”
Meanwhile, insiders recently said Cardi was no longer planning to divorce Offset, and hasn’t filed any paperwork to officially terminate their marriage.

OHMYGOSSIP — Ariana Grande is being sued over her ‘God Is a Woman’ music video – as an artist claims she stole his work.
The 25-year-old singer released the music video for her single last year, but she’s now facing legal action from Vladimir Kush, who claims a section of the video which shows Ariana dancing in a candle is identical to two paintings he made nearly two decades earlier.
According to TMZ, Vladimir says he created the two pieces of artwork – called ‘The Candle’ and ‘The Candle 2’ – almost 20 years ago, which both feature a woman as the wick with her arm raised, with a partially clouded sky as the background.
In Ariana’s music video, she can be seen dancing with her arms in the air as she acts as the wick inside the candle, with clouds in the background.
Vladimir claims Ariana’s video features the same cloudy sky, ring effect of clouds around the flame and the same light beams radiating from the flame.
The artist is suing Ariana and Freenjoy – who were the production company behind the video – for copyright infringement, and wants an injunction to remove her music video from the Internet.
For Freenjoy, it’s not the first time they’ve faced legal action over alleged copyright infringement, as a separate artist sued the company after claiming they had used her artwork in Kendrick Lamar’s ‘All The Stars’ video.
In that suit, Lina Iris Viktor claimed Kendrick – who collaborated with Sza for the track, which featured on the ‘Black Panther’ soundtrack – took her art and used it to promote the soundtrack for the hit Marvel movie without her permission.
Lina alleged representatives for ‘Black Panther’ had contacted her twice to ask her to lend her work to the movie or create new work for it, and after she said no, she claimed they then took it without her consent.

OHMYGOSSIP — Zoe Ball’s son Woody Cook is bisexual.
The 18-year-old son of the radio presenter and her ex-husband, DJ Fatboy Slim, has come out as bisexual in a candid interview, as he revealed his mother was shocked at first, but quickly realised she “knew more bi people than she thought”.
In an interview with Boys By Girls magazine, Woody said: “I told my mum and her first reaction was: ‘You can’t be, you like girls?’. I got her to look back upon her group of friends and she started to realise she knew more bi people than she thought. I think it was a bigger thing in her time.
“Some people assume it’s an in-between before you are gay. But really, it’s a thing on its own.”
The teen model and aspiring actor says he’s known about his sexuality for three years and first realised he was bisexual when he was at a party and he made the confession “as a laugh”.
He said: “One day I was at a party, and there was this girl I really liked who said: ‘It’s a shame you’re not a girl, I’m only really into girls it’s great being gay.’ And I said ‘Yeah, I’m gay too, I’m bisexual.’ I just said it as a laugh at the time, but then the next day I woke up and thought, ‘Why did I say that?’ And then, the more I thought about it I thought; ‘Oh my God, that explains everything.'”
Woody admits he’s had “a bit of s**t” from some of his classmates at school over his sexuality, but insists his friends and family have been incredibly supportive of him.
The teen is yet to go on a date with a boy, and says he’s currently “more attracted” to girls.

OHMYGOSSIP — Kevin Hart thinks his daughter is “so cool”.
The 39-year-old actor has daughter Heaven, 13, with his former spouse Torrei Hart – with whom he also has 11-year-old son Hendrix – and has said he’s in awe of how “funny” the young teen is, as he says he can’t believe how much she takes after him.
Speaking during an appearance on ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden’, Kevin – who also has 14-month-old son Kenzo with his wife Eniko Parrish – said: My daughter makes me laugh. That’s a big deal to me. She has an impression. My daughter can do a knockdown impression of me.
“My daughter’s a little different because we’re so close. So when you start to see your daughter turn into this young woman and pick up cadences that you know she got from you? Like in the morning my daughter hits me – she will come in the room, she’ll be like, ‘What up g, you Gucci?’ I’m like, ‘What?’ My daughter’s so cool and it makes me so mad because I know, I know she’s watching me.”
Despite being father to three children, the ‘Night School’ star previously claimed he’s never changed a diaper, because he always finds a way to avoid doing the chore.
He said: “I have not changed a diaper. I’m around when the diaper is being changed, which makes me a part of the process within the moment. All you have to do is find other stuff to do while it’s going down to keep you busy. That’s all.”
And although he steers clear of some of his parenting duties, Kevin insisted he was “very blessed” to have become a father for the third time following the birth of Kenzo in November 2017.
He added: “I have no complaints at all – very blessed, very happy. You know, looking to expand this legacy. Last name Hart lives on. Generations now, we got generations of it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Adam Levine “spoke to many people” before deciding to perform at this year’s Super Bowl halftime show.
The 39-year-old singer will take to the stage with his band Maroon 5 at the event this weekend, but after the news was confirmed earlier this month, they received backlash due to the current controversy surrounding the NFL due to the #TakeAKnee movement to protest racial inequality.
Many people called on Maroon 5 and the other confirmed performers – including rapper Big Boi and Travis Scott – to pull out of the show to support the movement, and Adam has now said it took him a long time to decide to accept the performance offer.
He said: “No one thought about it more than I did. No one put more thought and love into this than I did … I spoke to many people, most importantly though, I silenced all the noise and listened to myself, and made my decision about how I felt.”
Adam insists Maroon 5 will make sure people’s voices are heard through the ‘Sugar’ hitmakers’ performance.
He added: “They will be [heard] – that’s all I want to say because I don’t want to spoil anything. And once again, I like to think that people know where I stand as a human being after two decades doing this. I’m not a speaker. I’m not a public speaker. I do speak, but it’s through the music. My life’s work and what I put out into the universe has been positive and hopefully inspiring … So, what I would say is, you know, we are going to do what we keep on doing, hopefully without becoming politicians and continuing to use the one voice we know how to use properly.”
The ‘Voice’ star also admits he did take the controversy into consideration when approaching the performance.
Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight’, he said: “I think we wanted to make sure we were able to speak once again through the music, so yes, absolutely, once we processed these things, it took a lot of looking inward and introspection and I thought to myself, ‘What is my greatest tool, you know, what is the thing that I can use to express myself … the best way for the band to express themselves, and how are we going to do it this year? What do we owe ourselves, what do we owe the people?’ And that is what we did, and I am beyond proud of the finished product, and literally never, never been more excited in my entire life to present this to the people because I believe that it’s truly a reflection of all of us.”
Maroon 5 marked their performance at the Super Bowl with a $500,000 charity donation to Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, as part of the NFL’s #InspireChange social justice campaign, a commitment to help create positive changes for young people in communities across the US.

OHMYGOSSIP — Simon Cowell has forked out £15 million on a new house.
The music mogul has splashed the cash on a plush six-bedroom pad in Wimbledon, south west London, after earmarking a swanky school for his and partner Lauren Silverman’s four-year-old son Eric in the area.
A source close to Simon – who is estimated to be worth more than £400 million – said: “It’s a drastic move, spending £15 million on a new house just to ensure your kids go to their chosen school.
“But Simon isn’t short of a few bob and Eric is the most important thing in his life.”
The couple were said to be thinking about sending Eric to school in the US before eventually settling on the UK.
The source added to The Sun newspaper: “He and Lauren sat down and talked about where they wanted him to go to school, and given how much time they spend in England, they decided to be based here in the future more than in the US.”
Simon is said to be planning to offload his Holland Park home, which was once burgled while the unsuspecting pair slept upstairs.
What’s more, he also fell down a flight of stairs in the property in 2017.
Speaking about the incident last year, he said: “I’m OK now. In a way, it was a wake-up call. It wasn’t the end of the world – but a bit embarrassing.
“If I’m honest with you, I was probably over-tired. I feel better this year than I do this time last year.”
The ‘X Factor’ boss admitted shortly afterwards that he feared he had broken his neck following the tumble.
He explained: “I was lying on my back thinking, ‘I hope I haven’t broken my neck.’ But the NHS staff were the most amazing people I’ve ever met, genuinely. Fortunately it was all fine …
“He [Eric] probably would have told me off, and I didn’t want to worry him. He’s only three.”
In 2017, Simon splashed out $25 million on a new seven-bedroom Malibu home on the Pacific Coast Highway.

OHMYGOSSIP — Evan Rachel Wood checked into a psychiatric hospital nine years ago – after attempting to take her own life.
The 31-year-old star has opened up about the harrowing time of her life, admitting it was the “worst, best thing that ever happened to me”, but insists she has “no shame” about the experience.
She said: “I am not a mental health expert, but I can share with you one of my experiences with it.
“When I was 22, I willingly checked myself into a psychiatric hospital, and I have absolutely no shame about it. Looking back, it was the worst, best thing that ever happened to me.
“It was morning; I felt as though I had been hit by a truck. Then with an almost hysterical acceptance, without thinking, I picked up the phone.
“It was one of those moments when you have a choice that goes beyond the initial choice you make by calling out for help: You can not die, or you can come back to life. “Mom?… It’s me… I just tried to kill myself… I need to go to a hospital.”
“When I said I needed to go to a hospital, I did not mean I needed to go for any physical injuries I may or may not have had. I meant a hospital for my state of mind.”
Evan hadn’t “eaten or slept” in three days prior to the incident and felt “like nothing”, but despite nearly dying she felt an “extreme” guilt and responsibility towards others.
The ‘Westworld’ star admitted years of struggling with abuse had led to that moment.
She said: “My mind was not a peaceful place. My mind at the time was filled with scars and shadows and, most importantly, so much shame.
“I was struggling with PTSD and didn’t know it. PTSD is considered a mental illness; it can be caused by a number of things and is not limited to brave service people.
“My PTSD was caused by multiple rapes and a severely abusive relationship that went on for years.
“I had struggled with anxiety and panic attacks during the course of my life, but this was a whole other level of fear.”
Evan “still struggles” with her PTSD and has continued therapy, but the star has weaned herself off medication because she can now “cope on [her] own”.
In an essay for NYLON, she added: “I have continued my therapy. Eventually, I weaned myself off of medication, because I felt like, once I was on my feet, I didn’t like the way it made me feel, or how it made me not feel. It got me where I needed to be, and now I am able to cope on my own. This is not true for everyone, but it is not something to be ashamed of. Everyone is different and needs different things.
“I am not always perfect, I am not always at my best, I still struggle with my PTSD, but I know that I will get through it. I have better tools now to get through what seem like the impossible times, and most importantly, I know my worth.
“There is no economic class, race, sexuality, or gender that is safe from their own mind. We know success doesn’t cure depression, we know that people telling you they love you doesn’t cure depression, we know that just thinking positively doesn’t cure depression. Depression isn’t weakness, it’s a sickness. Sometimes a deadly one.
“And sometimes all people need is to know that they are loved and that others are there for them. They may not take your hand right away, but knowing it’s there could save their life one day.
“Or who knows, you might help save your own.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ellen DeGeneres gushed over her “wonderful wife” Portia De Rossi on her 46th birthday.
The 61-year-old comedian took to Instagram on Thursday (31.01.19) to share a sweet selfie with her spouse – who she tied the knot with over 10 years ago – and their two dogs Wolf and Augie.
She also invited her fans to follow Portia’s art business page, General Public, which according to her bio, “uses technology to bring good art to more people”.
Ellen captioned the snap: “Happy birthday to my wonderful wife Portia.
“As a birthday gift, you can follow her on Instagram @generalpublic.art. I love you and our family.”
Meanwhile, in December, Portia admitted she wants Ellen to quit her TV show.
The comic has fronted ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ since 2003 and though she recently extended her contract up to the summer of 2020, she had been close to declining and her wife urged her to turn down the deal in order to do something else.
The 46-year-old model said: “She’s just a bit more complicated than she appears on the show … I just think she’s such a brilliant actress and stand-up that it doesn’t have to be this talk show for her creativity. There are other things she could tackle.”
However, Ellen’s brother, stand-up comic Vance DeGeneres advised her to stay on, arguing the country needs her positivity.
But Ellen told the New York Times newspaper: “[Portia] gets mad when my brother tells me I can’t stop.”
