Sandra Bullock teams up with Chris McKay for Reborn

OHMYGOSSIP — Sandra Bullock is teaming up with director Chris McKay for an adaptation of the ‘Reborn’ comic book.
The 54-year-old actress – who recently starred in ‘Bird Box’ – has signed on for another Netflix project, working with Chris on a movie version of the Millarworld comic book.
The film will tell the story of an 80-year-old woman who dies and finds herself resurrected in Adystria – a world populated by monsters and dragons.
Chris – whose previous credits include ‘The Lego Batman Movie’ – will direct the film, according to The Hollywood Report, which says that Sandra, Roy Lee and Miri Yoon will produce the project.
Netflix bought the rights to Millarworld in 2017 and has subsequently been trying to develop various films and TV shows based off its titles.
Earlier this month, meanwhile, Sandra claimed that streaming has changed the movie industry for the better.
The Hollywood star believes “streaming has elevated the bar” in terms of opportunities for actors and has created more work for “women and people of colour”.
She said: “Cinema is not going anywhere, streaming has elevated the bar. Before, if you were a superhero, you were able to get a movie made; anything else was not getting made.
“Now, with streaming, we have all kinds of work available. The movie business is changing, and providing so many more opportunities for women and for people of colour.”

Nina Nesbitt reflects on being dropped by label

OHMYGOSSIP — Nina Nesbitt says getting dropped by her record label “turned out to be the best thing” to happen.
The 24-year-old singer – who previously dated Ed Sheeran in 2012 – was left devastated when she found out through her manager that Universal’s Island Records had decided to let her go, just as she was about to release her 2016 single ‘Chewing Gum’, but in hindsight it worked well for the Scottish star.
Speaking to The Official Charts Company, she admitted: “It was horrendous. I was basically shelved for two years and I actually made an album that never really came out. I didn’t know that I was shelved, so I thought we were putting an album out.
“I actually got dropped the day before ‘Chewing Gum’ was supposed to come out. I had no idea, and they were like, ‘Oh we’ll still put the single out’ and I was like, ‘Well, can I just leave?'”
Nina admitted that it was a “tricky situation”, but that it actually enabled her to be more independent and so she taught herself production.
She said: “It was a weird situation but I’m totally cool with them all now.
“To be honest, it wasn’t my A&R that was the issue, it was a tricky situation and I don’t think it was the right fit for either of us. It pushed me to go off and learn production myself and take control of things a bit more, which turned out to be the best thing that could have happened – but at the time it really didn’t feel like it.”
Nina ended up signing to Cooking Vinyl – who also have the likes of Richard Ashcroft and TLC on their roster – not long after she left Island, and she is set to release her second album ‘The Sun Will Come Up, the Seasons Will Change’ – the follow-up to 2014’s ‘Peroxide’ – on February 1.
Though she has produced much of it herself, Sam Smith producer Fraser T. Smith helped her on the track ‘Loyal To Me’ and another song, and ended up teaching Nina “a lot”.
She said: “Fraser didn’t come on until last summer and we were already in the swing of it by that point, but we really needed help on ‘Loyal To Me’, because I was just about to put the song in the bin because I couldn’t find the right production!
“I thought that he would absolutely nail it and I was really happy with what he did, and then we wrote a song together after that with Jin Jin, who’s written a lot of Jess Glynne hits, and that came about literally the week before I handed the album in.
“He’s been around for so many years and he’s so talented. It was really nice having someone that has been doing it for so long who’s had so much success – I learnt a lot from him.
“I wrote and produced a lot of it in my room sat on my bed, and I worked with Lostboy and Jordan Riley, who are about my age, which was a help. I like that it was a low-key affair and now they’re smashing it as producers as well.”

Nile Rodgers has role for RuPaul

OHMYGOSSIP — Nile Rodgers has appointed RuPaul co-creative director of Chic’s new album.
The 66-year-old musician discussed the title of the record, ‘Executive Realness’ – a term popularised in 1990 documentary ‘Paris Is Burning’ – with his friend and explained his pal really helped with the concept.
Branding the ‘Drag Race’ star co-creative director of the album, he admitted: “That’s me just making up that title right now.”
And of their discussion, he added: “The first words out of his mouth almost brought me to tears. He said, ‘You know what, Nile? That concept is brilliant. I’ve always had to be the beauty and the beast my whole life.
“‘As Black people’ – and in his particular case as a gay man – ‘we have to play these different roles.’
“Sometimes people who are not seen as equals have to play the part they may not naturally fit. All my life I’ve had to work so hard, and it’s cool because I have a strong work ethic. But I always said, ‘Man, I work twice as hard for half as much.’ That’s just the truth.”
Nile came from a jazz, classical and punk background and though Chic became synonymous with the disco scene, he insists that wasn’t what they set out to do, but he thinks they did a convincing job of fitting in.
He told TorontoNow.com: “The disco thing was so alluring and so accepting – especially to us people who were snobs. We thought we were into the highest musical art form and everything else was beneath us.
“We were not disco artists – we only claimed that after the Disco Sucks movement said to the world, ‘These guys were disco and they’re now personae non grata.’
“We pretended to be something that we’re not. Bernard [Edwards] and I were not anything. But when it was time to play the part, we rose to the occasion.
“Give me the job and let me have on-the-job training.”
And the ‘Le Freak’ hitmaker is thankful for the opportunities it brought him.
He added: “The very first star I ever wrote songs for was Diana Ross – ‘I’m Coming Out’ and ‘Upside Down’. I got to do that at 20-something years old.”

Sia gave designer two days to make her wedding dress

OHMYGOSSIP — Sia only gave designer Christian Siriano two days to make her wedding dress.
The 43-year-old singer gave her long-time friend very short notice to create a wedding gown for her nuptials at her home in Palm Springs, California, when she tied the knot to filmmaker Erik Lang, whom she got engaged to in 2014 after knowing him for just just two weeks with the pair divorcing two years later.
Retelling the story, Sia – who is notoriously private – told InStyle magazine: “I married someone I didn’t know … You’ve got two days to make me a wedding dress! We’re getting married, like, tomorrow! So he whipped me up two, which I wore. It was a great wedding. I felt amazing. I felt really gorgeous. It was such a whirlwind!”
Christian added: “That was a fun phone call”
The Australian musician worked with Christian before performing at the Democratic National Committee’s LGBT Gala in New York on June 17, 2014, which was attended by President Obama and the ‘Greatest’ hitmaker confessed that she felt “more beautiful” on that occasion than on her wedding day.
She said: “I felt more beautiful singing for the president than I did on my wedding day,
“That was my fiercest moment, I’ve never looked hotter. You [Christian] laid it down! It was so amazing! It was a black fishtail… bustier, like sexy, tight.”
The ‘Elastic Heart’ singer – who hides her face by wearing oversized hats and wigs when she performs and when she hits the red carpet – went on to explain that the designer had always dressed her, even when “wasn’t very successful”.
She said: “Christian has dressed me in every permutation my body has ever gone through, even when I wasn’t very successful or overweight and nobody else would dress me, he has always been there saying, ‘I’ve got something for you.'”

Matt Lucas to star in first recording of The Hunting Of The Snark

OHMYGOSSIP — Matt Lucas is part of an all-star line-up for the first ever full-length recording of the score of West End Show ‘The Hunting Of The Snark’.
The 44-year-old actor will play the role of Billiard Marker – originally played by the late comedian-and-broadcaster Kenny Everett – alongside Philip Quast and John Partridge in the recording of Mike Batt’s music.
The production was based on the 1876 poem by Lewis Carroll and Batt staged the show at the Prince Edward Theatre in 1991, featuring Quast as the Bellman and Partridge as the Butcher, and the pair are reprising their original parts.
‘Little Britain’ star Lucas admits he was “enchanted” by Batt’s music growing up and he is very excited to be part of the project.
He said: “I grew up listening to Mike’s music and I’m really excited to be working with him. I remember watching the concert version on TV and being enchanted by it, and I can’t wait to start learning the songs.”
‘Celebrity MasterChef’ winner Partridge, 47, added: “This score is, without doubt, a masterpiece, and I am so looking forward to hearing it again after all this time. I was 19 when the voyage began, 28 years ago! Thanks to all those who will have helped to make it happen.”
Although he is excited to get started on the recording, Batt, 69, admits it will be bittersweet working on his musical again without his friend Kenny – who died at the age of 50 in 1995.
The songwriter said: “This is such a great development. With Kenny Everett, my late buddy, so sadly missed I can think of no one I would prefer to play this part than Matt. I’m also delighted that ‘Snark originals’ Philip Quast and John Partridge, having gone from strength to strength in their careers, were still willing to take a step into the past and help me re-create the old magic. It’s a great start to the casting process of what is a very ambitious project, particularly in today’s challenging music business environment.”
Asked why he is undertaking this project Mike explains “I have always wanted to make a recording of the full score, in addition to the shorter concept album that exists already, because the full dramatic piece contains so much more material that has never been recorded or released, and as an entirety I consider it to be the centrepiece of my life’s work to date.”

Anne Hathaway’s Matthew McConaughey crush

OHMYGOSSIP — Anne Hathaway has admitted she forgot her lines because her ‘Serenity’ co-star Matthew McConaughey is so “handsome”.
The Academy Award-winning actress stars alongside the 49-year-old star in the forthcoming Steven Knight-directed drama movie, and has confessed that her crush on her on-screen ex-husband (Baker Dill) distracted her on set.
Appearing on ‘Good Morning America’ on Wedsneday (23.01.19), she spilled: “I’m sitting there and we’re doing our scene and Matthew’s like a brother to me so I don’t think about all that other stuff … But I’m looking at him and nobody is talking and I go, ‘Oh it’s my line!’
“Why did I forget my line? Oh because you’re handsome! I was just staring at him and I forgot my line because he looked like a fragrance model which then it occurred to me, of course, he is!”
The ‘Devil Wears Prada’ star has also admitted it was tough to turn off from the film at the end of each day on set because it was so intense.
Anne – who has been married to actor Adam Shulman since 2012 – shared: “It wasn’t the longest job, I think we were only there for five weeks, but I remember on the last week looking at my husband and saying something to him, and he looked at me and he said, ‘I’m going to give you the dignity of your process right now. I know this isn’t you. You’ve got two days left. I’ll talk to you in two days.'”
Anne thinks her performance in the film – which tells the story of a fishing boat captain who is approached by his ex-wife to murder her new husband – was helped by it being shot in Mauritius.
As a result, the Hollywood star was able to spend more time discussing the project with the director and her co-stars.
She told Refinery29: “One of the best things about being as far away from home as we were on this one was that we were all staying at the same place, and there was a lot of opportunity to have conversations.
“I would meet with Steven to discuss the work week we had coming up, and we would hash it all out so there was room and we weren’t coming up with it on the set.
“I wanted to talk to him about all that [dialogue] because I thought that one of the opportunities in playing this character was to play a character with all the iconography of a femme fatale, but with the history of the feminist movement behind her.
“I thought it was as great way to subvert expectations about a femme fatale.”

Holland Taylor slid into Sarah Paulson’s DMs

OHMYGOSSIP — Sarah Paulson’s girlfriend Holland Taylor “slid into her DMs” on Twitter.
The 44-year-old ‘Glass’ actress’ partner might be 32 years younger than her, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t know how modern dating works.
Sarah was asked how she met the 76-year-old Hollywood legend on ‘Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen’ on Wednesday (23.01.19), and she revealed that after she met the ‘Legally Blonde’ star in passing at a dinner party – when she was seeing someone else – and Holland was the one who reached out to her on the social media app.
She recalled: “It’s a long story. We met a very, very long time ago.
“I was with someone else.
“We were doing a thing at Martha Plimpton’s house.
“It was for an organisation that she was working with and we were both doing a little PSA for it.
“We sort of breezed by each other and started following each other on Twitter.”
Her ‘American Horror Story’ co-star Billy Eichner then asked Sarah: “Holland Taylor slid into your DMs?”
And she replied: “She actually did!”
Sarah – who began dating the ‘Two and a Half Men’ actress in 2015 after first meeting her at the dinner party a decade before – previously defended the age gap between them.
She said: “If anyone wants to spend any time thinking I’m strange for loving the most spectacular person on the planet, then that’s their problem. I’m doing just fine.”
The ‘Ocean’s 8’ star believes she shares the same “soul” as her girlfriend and suggested there is something “brave” about their relationship.
She said: “I do not want to be defined by who I share my bed, my home, my soul with. My choices in life have been unconventional, and that’s my business. But I do want to live responsibly and truthfully without hiding. It’s complicated, because there is a lot of hate in this world, and a lot of good can come from quote-unquote normalising something for people who don’t see it as normal. Our relationship represents a certain amount of hope and risk. Maybe there’s something brave in it. Maybe it encourages others to make brave choices. What else can I say? We love each other.”

Emmerdale star James Moore lacked confidence as an actor

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Emmerdale’ star James Moore “didn’t believe” he could establish himself as a disabled actor until he landed his role on the ITV soap.
The 42-year-old actor – who has ataxic cerebral palsy – won the National Television Award for Best Newcomer at the ceremony this week capping off an incredible few months for him but he admits his career journey has been a difficult one as a disabled performer.
Speaking to The Sun Online, he shared: “Honestly, it’s enough to win an NTA anyway and to have the public behind it. But I think this means that we’re doing great things for people with disabilities. We’re getting more diverse in society and more open and more accommodating.
“However, we still need more disabled voices because I don’t think that there are enough in public at the moment.”
Admitting that earning a place at the National Youth Theatre was the confident boost he needed to commit to acting full-time, he added: “A lot of it I think was my own personal struggle, my own mental struggle. I didn’t believe that I could do it – but it wasn’t for lack of trying. But I got into the National Youth Theatre and found my agent and it was like a steamroller from that point.”
James made sure he had a good time at the NTAs after-party and he was thrilled to get to meet many of the famous faces from television that he is a fan of.
He explained: “My friend and I had a few shandies. We kind of mingled with people. We met Paul O’Grady and he said congratulations, which was amazing. It was great wandering round and seeing someone you’ve been a fan of for years or been inspired by or seen on TV.”

Ricky Champ: EastEnders fans tell me they hate in a nice way

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘EastEnders’ actor Ricky Champ says the soap’s fans tell him that they “hate” him in the nicest possible way.
The 38-year-old actor has got an interesting “taste of fame” playing the Albert Square villain Stuart Highway – who is currently harassing beloved character Dr. Harold Legg – on the popular BBC soap but he insists that people are generally nice enough to him even though they don’t like his alter ego.
Speaking to The Sun Online’s Soap Bubble, he said: “The vast majority of people, if they’re fans of the show, are really lovely. They shake your hand, have a photo and say how much they’re enjoying it. They’re like, ‘OMG, I hate you’, but it’s a nice ‘I hate you.’
“It’s been very interesting. I’ve tasted a bit of fame doing other TV shows, but nothing at all like this, nothing on the scale of this.”
Ricky – who previously revealed ‘EastEnders’ viewers had been berating him in his local supermarket for his character’s nasty behaviour – says his family help him cope with playing such a dark person on the BBC One show.
Ricky – who has 16-month-old daughter Beatrix with his wife Samantha – said: “I cope with it well actually. Accessing parts of yourself you don’t normally go to is very interesting to me. It doesn’t leave any long lasting damage. I’m quite healthy in my mind, I’ve got a beautiful family at home and I’m very balanced in my life. I’m very thankful for that.”

Michelle Collins reveals Cheryl Baker urinated on her T-shirt

OHMYGOSSIP — Michelle Collins was left in a state of shock when Cheryl Baker urinated on her T-shirt on TV.
The 57-year-old actress was stunned when the 64-year-old presenter weed on her own T-shirt on ‘Celebrity 5 Go Camping’, but was also touched to learn that she did so because she didn’t want to wake-up her camp-mates.
Michelle said on ‘This Morning’: “You know what Cheryl Baker did … I didn’t think she was even going to tell anyone what she did … She didn’t want to get up at night, and wake me up. She weed on her T-shirt and she hid it away the next morning and tells us about it in the morning.
“She told her story on ‘Lorraine’. And I was like, Cheryl! She’s lovely, I love her, she’s like everybody’s big sister. And we were very lucky, because that’s the thing that frightens me going in those things.
“You could come up with the most horrendous people and just cower into a corner and not want to come out.”
The blonde star gushed that she thoroughly enjoyed filming the Channel 5 show – which also features Joe Swash and comedians Bobby Davro and Stephen Bailey – because everyone got on and she especially bonded with Stephen.
She said: “Stephen Bailey was so lovely and you always find someone who you bond with, I think.”
The former ‘EastEnders’ star also revealed that she is not keen to appear on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ because she has never had any formal training.
She explained: “They’re all too good, aren’t they? I’ve never been to stage school, I’ve not had any dance training whatsoever.
“You should never say never to anything I don’t think these days because there are no boundaries anymore. You just don’t know, and then if I did do it, I’d look very silly!”

Steven Knight is almost done with Taboo series 2 script

OHMYGOSSIP — Steven Knight has almost completed the script for the second season of ‘Taboo’.
The 60-year-old screenwriter is putting the finishes touches to the script for the gritty drama series – which stars Tom Hardy as James Delaney, an adventurer who returns home to London from Africa in 1814 in order to inherit his late father’s shipping empire – and has revealed he is planning on continuing the show until its third series.
Steven said to Collider: “It’s almost completed in terms of the script we had a couple of delays because of other commitments but we are hoping to start shooting at the end of this year or the start of next.
“If we all stick with it and we all wanna keep doing it then that is the plan [three seasons] because I’ve got a kind of geographical route I think to take and it’s basically a journey West.
“I have a destination in mind which is always nice to have if you’re setting out on this big journey which is what writing three eight hours is – it’s good to know where you’re heading.”
The ‘Peaky Blinders’ creator also spoke of his long-standing professional relationship with Tom, 41, and insisted that the reason it “works” is because they don’t often socialise away from set.
He shared: “It’s really strange, I think it works because we don’t socialise, occasionally we do, but not very often I think that the relationship is totally about the work.
“The great thing about Tom is that’s his passion is the work, the acting, he’s not a fan of celebrity but he just loves to act and he loves to process and the craft.
“For me to have him occasionally available to do roles that you’ve written is wonderful because you know you can trust someone to really deliver what we’re doing.”

Megan McKenna and Pete Wicks are ‘sweet’ ahead of Celebs Go Dating

OHMYGOSSIP — Megan McKenna insists things are “sweet” between her and Pete Wicks after he signed up for ‘Celebs Go Dating’.
The 26-year-old beauty – who dated Pete before they split in 2017 – initially thought “it was a joke” when she heard that the dark-haired hunk would appear alongside her on the show, but she has now claimed there’s no bad blood between the pair.
Speaking to the Sun Online, Megan said: “I mean, I never thought in a million years I’d be back doing a show with Pete. I thought it was a joke!
“It’s alright, we’ve been out a few times a group of us, but let’s put it this way, if I was a viewer, I’d definitely be like tuning in. We’re sweet – the thing is it was a very awkward first scene.”
Megan – who split from former ‘Love Island’ star Mike Thalassitis last year after dating for seven months – also said that although it’s “still early days”, she’s glad she chose to do the show.
And despite still having some inhibitions, Megan is determined to “go for it.”
She explained: “I’m so glad I’ve done this show because I’m having such a fun time. It is very eventful; I’ve never been on so many dates in my entire life! But like, it’s interesting.
“It’s still early days, there’s still a lot of filming left but I just think like, some of the boys can be a***holes, I’m like what is going on here? There’s been a few moments where I like cut things short, but you know I’m just going for it.”

The ‘Hollyoaks’ actress welcomed her daughter into the world on January 17 and she has named her child Noa Liberty Jane Bar.
Susie announced her happy news by posting an adorable photo of herself cradling her newborn in her hospital bed when the tot was just a few hours old on her Instagram account.

Tony Hawk launches new fashion line

OHMYGOSSIP — Tony Hawk has launched a new fashion line.
The 50-year-old skateboarding legend has created the Tony Hawk Signature Line and unveiled his range at Paris Fashion Week.
Extreme sportsman Tony thinks now is the perfect time to unveil his luxury collection as skating has “permeated so much of culture and fashion” over the past few years.
Speaking to Hypebeast, he said: “I think skating has permeated so much of culture and fashion over the past few years, with the success of Supreme and Palace and things like that, I think it’s great. I never thought that we had to keep skating underground to keep it cool.
“We’d never done anything so high-end before.”
The professional skater’s collection will feature t-shirts, hoodies, flannel button-downs, jackets, bowling shirts and carpenter pants with bursts of tie-dye and fluorescent colour.
Certain pieces in the athlete’s line will include personal photographs from his archive, including an image of the first time he ever set foot on a skateboard while dressed as a devil on Halloween in 1974 and an image of the same skating deck that now features in the Smithsonian museum.
Tony collaborated on the line’s campaign with iconic photographer Anton Corbijn, the creative director behind the visual output of Depeche Mode and U2, having handled the chief promotion and sleeve photography for both bands over three decades.
Sharing a black and white picture of Tony stood with a group of skater’s modelling his collection, the brand’s official Instagram account wrote: “For the first Tony Hawk Signature Line, we had the pleasure to collaborate with iconic photographer Anton Corbijn // The image story is released today in Paris // Collection will be available mid – 2019 at selected retailers worldwide.”

Robin Thicke will rebuild house

OHMYGOSSIP — Robin Thicke is planning to rebuild his house in Malibu.
The ‘Blurred Lines’ hitmaker – who has son Julian, eight, with ex-wife Paula Patton and 11-month-old daughter Mia with pregnant fiancee April Love Geary – lost his home in the devastating California wildfires that swept the state last year, but he’s not planning to move away somewhere else.
Asked if he’ll rebuild his house, he said: “We lost our house, we’re renting in Malibu [at the moment], my son goes to school there.
“[Yes we’ll rebuild], we love it out there. So we’re there for the long run.”
Robin was devastated when his father Alan Thicke passed away in December 2016 but joked he’d been trying to “fill the void” left by the ‘Growing Pains’ actor’s absence by adding to his own family.
He told ‘Extra’: “Losing my father was the most difficult time of my life. I’ve been trying to fill the void with babies, I think. Just keep having babies until I don’t miss him so much…
“We have a little one coming in about a month so a lot going on.
“It’s my karma that I gotta raise girls! No, I love being a father. And I’m all for it.”
The ‘Testify’ singer recently admitted his father’s death caught him to rewrite an entire album.
He said: “Well, it’s funny – my father passed away a couple of years ago and I thought I had an album and these songs that I wanted to put out. Then when that happened, it was something I wasn’t expecting and it just rattled my soul. So, I took some time to re-think the album and then these songs started pouring out that had more meaning and more weight to them.”

David Tennant shocked by meaning of aubergine emoji

OHMYGOSSIP — David Tennant had no idea the aubergine emoji had sexual connotations.
The 47-year-old actor admitted that during a sexual harassment training film – which have become commonplace in Hollywood in wake of the recent Harvey Weinstein scandal – he was shocked to discover that certain picture messaging icons have sexual undertones, such as the vegetable, which is often used to represent male genitals.
Referring to a training video while speaking at the ACE Comic-Con in Arizona, he said: “Because of things that have been going on in our industry and it’s right and proper that there are debates happening in our industry that haven’t happened before.
“I’m about to start work on a new project and one of the things I had to do contractually is sit down and watch a video.
“Everyone on the production, you have to sit down and watch a video so no one can say ‘I don’t understand what harassment means’.
“And then at one point it was, ‘Remember, the eggplant emoji is not just an eggplant’ and that was it, no explanation, just that. I went, ‘WHAT?’ ”
The ‘Dr Who’ star – who raises four children with wife Georgia Moffett – admitted the session highlighted some obvious points, but it also left him worried he could accidentally offend someone with what he thought was a kind gesture.
He said: “Stuff like it’s bad to touch somebody on the bum and all that, and course, sure.
“You’re starting with a new company, here are the rules…I mean, imagine I was just saying ‘Do you want some eggplant for dinner?’ and suddenly I am up against a tribunal. Now I am terrified!”
