OHMYGOSSIP — Firefighters have tackled a blaze at Ed Sheeran’s country estate.
The fire crews were called to the 27-year-old musician’s sprawling £1.5 million country estate in Suffolk on Friday (25.01.19) morning, after reports of a “small building fire” on the property.
A Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service representative said in a statement: “Three engines were sent to the incident, from Framlingham, Saxmundham and Halesworth. Crews extinguished the fire quickly and then ventilated the area of heavy smoke.”
The cause of the fire and the state of any damage to the property is unclear as of the time of writing, but an East of England Ambulance Service spokesman confirmed that there were no jobs matching the description of the fire in the county on Friday.
Ed – who is engaged to Cherry Seaborn – was born in Suffolk and has been buying up property around his mansion in order to expand his sprawling estate.
In January last year, the ‘Shape of You’ hitmaker bought four homes next to each other, and just months later, he was reported to be building a chapel on his estate in order to tie the knot with Cherry.
A source said of the Saxon-style flint building: “Even though Ed is one of the world’s biggest stars he does like to do things privately, like his engagement.
“Having his wedding on his own land would mean they could celebrate their big day with just their nearest and dearest and then head back to the main house of a big party after.”
It’s said the development is essential for Ed to give him a place to “retreat for contemplation and prayer”, and for his famous house guests to “regenerate their spiritual strength”.

OHMYGOSSIP — Rita Ora has faced “complications” with getting certain designers to dress her.
Earlier this week, Bebe Rexha slammed designers for not wanting to work with her on a custom made gown for the upcoming Grammy Awards because she’s deemed “too big” at a size eight, and now Rita has said she too has faced difficulties in getting designers to make red carpet gowns for her.
The 28-year-old singer said that whilst she’s never considered it a “personal attack” when designers turn her down, she doesn’t always find it easy to find someone who will style her.
Speaking to People magazine, Rita said: “There were complications, yes, because you have to adapt to your body. I feel like I’ve never looked at it as a personal attack towards me because this is who I am and this is always who I am going to be and I’ve never changed for anybody. I think consistency is key. I don’t take clothes not fitting me personally, I just find something that fits and I wear the s**t out of it. I feel like that’s what it takes to be a trailblazer and trendsetter.”
Her comments come after Bebe, 29, launched a social media tirade against designers to claimed she wasn’t slim enough to fit into their designs.
In a video posted on her account, she fumed: “So I finally get nominated at the Grammys and it’s like the coolest thing ever.
“And a lot of times artists will go and talk to designers and they’ll make them custom dresses to walk the red carpet … So I had my team hit out a lot of designers and a lot of them do not want to dress me because I’m too big.”
The ‘Meant to Be’ singer is angry that the designers who have snubbed her are giving out the wrong message that anyone who is size eight and above isn’t “beautiful”.
She added: “If a size 6-8, is too big, then I don’t know what to tell you. Then I don’t want to wear your f***ing dresses. ‘Cause that’s crazy … You’re saying that all the women in the world that are size 8 and up are not beautiful, and they cannot wear your dresses.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kylie Jenner wants diamonds for Valentine’s Day (14.02.19).
The 21-year-old reality star has dropped some serious hints to her boyfriend Travis Scott – with whom she has 11-month-old daughter Stormi – that she wants sparkly jewels as a gift when the romantic holiday rolls around next month, as she said diamonds are much better than pearls.
In a video posted to her YouTube channel on Friday (25.01.19) in which she answered Valentine’s Day themed quick fire questions, Kylie was asked whether she’d prefer to receive a teddy bear or jewellery, to which she said: “I mean, jewellery, obviously, right?”
And then when asked if that jewellery would be made of diamonds or pearls, she said “diamonds” were her preferred precious stone.
When it comes to the perfect Valentine’s Day date night, the ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star would prefer to go out for dinner than watch a movie, although she “really loves both”.
Asked to pick one, she said: “I don’t know, ’cause I really love both, but maybe since it’s Valentine’s Day, let’s go out for a nice dinner or something.”
During the one-minute clip, Kylie also reveals she prefers red roses over white roses, milk chocolate over dark chocolate, red wine over rosé, and pink over red.
Kylie even has a preference over which colour lingerie to wear on Valentine’s Day.
Asked to pick between red or black lingerie, she said: “I’m going to say red for Valentine’s Day, black for any other day.”
Kylie’s Valentine’s Day choices come after it was recently reported she and Travis could be set to get engaged soon, as they’re “really happy” in their relationship.
An insider said: “Travis and Kylie are looking to get married soon, [but Kylie is] taking marriage at a more cautious pace after seeing her sisters’ past relationships fail.
“Things are in a great place with Travis. They’re always together and just really happy.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Taraji P. Henson is “still learning how to be ready” to marry her fiancé Kelvin Hayden.
The 48-year-old actress is engaged to the former American football star, and has said that despite their impending wedding, she’s still not sure if she’s ready to marry her partner, but says she’s learning “how to be better in a relationship” every day.
She said: “I’m still learning how to be ready. Every day I’m learning how to be better in a relationship. I just found out, in our therapy sessions, that men have fewer words than women. I didn’t know that. They run out of words. Because women are emotional, we want to talk through everything. Of course we have more words; we’re the communicators. Kelvin, he thinks he’s a comedian. Anytime we’re in a disagreement or I’m like, ‘We need to talk about this,’ he’ll look at me and say, ‘Baby, I done ran out of words.’ He’s joking, but I’m starting to accept that it’s true.”
Before settling down with Kelvin, the ‘Empire’ star was a single mother to her son Marcell Johnson, now 24, and moved to LA with him when she finished college in order to pursue her dreams.
Speaking about the decision to start her acting dream despite her hardships, Taraji told Playboy magazine: “In your 20s, you’re not scared. You feel invincible. I was an artist with a dream, and now that I was a mother I felt like it was do or die. Being a parent is what kept me focused. I didn’t go to the clubs, even though they say that’s how you’re supposed to network. I have common sense, and nothing about that seemed right to me. What networking happens at a club where people are inebriated? Tell me, what contracts are being signed? That’s stupid. I knew what I had to offer; I just had to find somebody to hear me. Anytime I felt scared, I’d call my dad.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Richard E. Grant finds it appealing to play outsiders.
The 63-year-old actor, who was born and raised in Swaziland, now Eswatini, admitted that “being an immigrant in England” left him with a “sense that you are an outsider looking in” and he believes this has affected what kind of roles he is drawn to.
When asked in an interview with Empire magazine whether he finds it appealing playing outsiders, he said: “I suppose so. I wonder if that’s partly to do with where I grew up, and then being an immigrant in England at the age of 25. I think there’s inevitably a sense that you are an outsider looking in.
The star recently received an Oscar nod for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as Jack Hock in the crime drama ‘Can You Ever Forgive Me?’ but the ‘Logan’ actor confessed that he hasn’t felt the need to write an acceptance speech because he doesn’t think he has a chance of winning when he’s up against Sam Elliott (‘A Star is Born’), Sam Rockwell (‘Vice’), Mahershala Ali (‘Green Book’) and Adam Driver (‘BlacKkKlansman’).
He said: “It feels like it’s jinxing to prepare something to say, because I think the reality is, when I see the competition, which is absolutely loud-and-clear, neon-lit, I have no delusion I’m going to be the one blathering. ”
Although Richard has his doubts about actually winning the award, the star was overwhelmed with happiness upon hearing about his nomination and admitted he and his daughter, Olivia, “burst into tears” when they heard the news.
He said earlier this week: “It feels completely surreal; I was sitting with my daughter in a restaurant in Notting Hill Gate just round the corner from where this happened.
“Where I lived in this bedsit in 1982 when I first immigrated to England and it was when I got the news – she was watching this live feed on her phone we had earpieces in, we both just burst into tears and people around us thought we had some terrible news. ”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ed Sheeran thinks modern pop stars are “sensible”.
The ‘Shape of You’ hitmaker believes that as music careers are more short-lived these days, artists do more to look after their money and protect their long-term future.
He told Q magazine: “As soon as I signed my publishing deal, before I got big, I bought property.
“I’ve invested in three in England.
“I think pop stars nowadays are just more sensible because it doesn’t last as long.
“It’s all about, do your time, earn your money, buy some property and when it all goes to s**t, you’ve got something to fall back on.
“The guy who told me to buy property was Goldie. I met him when I was 17, he kept in touch and as soon as stuff started to go well, he rang me up and goes, ‘Don’t be a ****, by a f***ing house.’ ”
The 27-year-old singer found his English background helped him a lot when he tried to crack the US.
He said: “Being English goes a long way in Hollywood.
“In any situation, I benefited from it. Not sexually, professionally.
“Americans think we’re kooky and fun. When I lived there I was in all these situations, dinner parties, clubs, meeting people and thought, ‘All this could end tomorrow, I better do it all now, so I’ll at least have some decent stories.’
“I definitely lived it. I did everything that I should’ve done and everything I shouldn’t.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Coleen Rooney wrote off her car after an accident in Washington DC.
The 32-year-old star crashed her Honda CR-V near the home she shares with her soccer star husband Wayne Rooney and their children Kai, nine, Klay, five, Kit, three and Cass, 11 months, but managed to emerge unscathed despite the damage to the vehicle.
A source told The Sun: Coleen ended up having a bad smash when she was driving the family car. Luckily she escaped without a scrape on her but the motor was a mess.
“One side of the car was completely caved in. She couldn’t drive it away and it looked like a total write off. Obviously she was shaken up at the time but Coleen was just thankful no one was hurt.”
However, Coleen was reportedly not upset about writing off her car as she told friends she wanted to replace the “mumsy” motor with a flashier vehicle.
The insider explained: “Coleen prefers pricey Range Rovers to the mumsy Honda so getting a new motor was the silver lining on what was a horrible day.”
Meanwhile, last year Coleen admitted she feared their relationship could have ended after the sportsman was arrested for drink driving in another woman’s car.
Of her decision to remain with Wayne Coleen explained on Facebook: “A few people have been feeling sorry for me, please don’t. I appreciate getting cared about, however, I am a strong person, I don’t feel sorry for myself. Also a few people are probably thinking am stupid for staying in my marriage. I am not stupid, I know my own mind and it’s something I want to try and work on.
“Before the headlines start…. No, I’m not taking Wayne back as he’s never left. Yes, it has been a s**t time, and yes, time was spent apart and I thought my marriage might have been at an end. (sic)”
Coleen – who has been with Wayne since their school days – explained that although she has not forgotten her husband’s mistakes, she is determined to make their marriage work.
The star wrote: “It’s my decision …. do I love Wayne … yes I do. If I didn’t then I wouldn’t be trying to make it work. I know I would be fine on my own, with just me and my children, but I don’t want to live like that, I want to try and continue our marriage and live as a family, because that’s what I want to do. I’m not saying everything is fine and forgotten about, but we are as good as can be at this point, I’m not the type of person to put a show on and say we’re all loved-up….I’m just real. (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Michael Jackson’s estate has slammed the ‘Finding Neverland’ documentary.
The four-hour documentary, which details alleged sexual abuse of two young men by the late singer, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on Friday (25.01.19) and Michael’s estate was quick to condemn it.
Dan Reed’s film follows two accusers, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who have claimed that Michael sexually abused them but a statement from his estate, released just hours after the documentary premiered, lashed out at them, calling them “admitted liars.
The statement reads: “‘Leaving Neverland’ isn’t a documentary, it is the kind of tabloid character assassination Michael Jackson endured in life, and now in death. The film takes uncorroborated allegations that supposedly happened 20 years ago and treats them as fact. These claims were the basis of lawsuits filed by these two admitted liars which were ultimately dismissed by a judge. The two accusers testified under oath that these events never occurred. They have provided no independent evidence and absolutely no proof in support of their accusations, which means the entire film hinges solely on the word of two perjurers.
“Tellingly, the director admitted at the Sundance Film Festival that he limited his interviews only to these accusers and their families. In doing so, he intentionally avoided interviewing numerous people over the years who spent significant time with Michael Jackson and have unambiguously stated that he treated children with respect and did nothing hurtful to them. By choosing not to include any of these independent voices who might challenge the narrative that he was determined to sell, the director neglected fact checking so he could craft a narrative so blatantly one-sided that viewers never get anything close to a balanced portrait.
“For 20 years, Wade Robson denied in court and in numerous interviews, including after Michael passed, that he was a victim and stated he was grateful for everything Michael had done for him. His family benefitted from Michael’s kindness, generosity and career support up until Michael’s death. Conveniently left out of ‘Leaving Neverland’ was the fact that when Robson was denied a role in a Michael Jackson themed Cirque du Soleil production, his assault allegations suddenly emerged.
“We are extremely sympathetic to any legitimate victim of child abuse. This film, however, does those victims a disservice. Because despite all the disingenuous denials made that this is not about money, it has always been about money – millions of dollars — dating back to 2013 when both Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who share the same law firm, launched their unsuccessful claims against Michael’s Estate. Now that Michael is no longer here to defend himself, Robson, Safechuck and their lawyers continue their efforts to achieve notoriety and a payday by smearing him with the same allegations a jury found him innocent of when he was alive.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Debbie McGee has breast cancer.
The 60-year-old TV star – who is the widow of magician Paul Daniels – had surgery last week to remove two tumours after doctors found cancerous tissue in her left breast during a routine screening.
Debbie believes her cancer was triggered by stress and grief after Paul died from an incurable brain tumour in 2016 at the age of 77.
She told The Sun: “Stress, I think caused mine. I’ve never been through the stress I’ve been through since I lost Paul.
“Grief hits you in so many ways you’re not expecting. It’s not all about sadness.”
Debbie revealed a close friend of hers, who lost her husband four years ago, has also been diagnosed with cancer and both of them believe the stress from the death of their spouses is to blame.
Debbie was diagnosed in October and after successful surgery this month feels like the “luckiest person in the world” as doctors have given her the all-clear.
And although Debbie still misses Paul, she feels that she is finally moving on from her devastating grief.
She said: “I’m fine now. I’ve really got to a really good place. I just think the last two and a half years were so, so stressful. I’d never dealt with anything as big as that before.”
Last year, Debbie revealed she has started thinking about dating again and if she was to fall in love with another man she would consider tying the knot again and says competing on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ in 2017 helped her to regain her confidence and get a new lease
She said: “I am just enjoying my life. I’ve male friends that have taken me to dinner or for drinks – and that is lovely. I would marry again if I met the right person but I am not looking.
“I think if you look you don’t get it. It’s like waiting for the kettle to boil and it never boils.”
Debbie was spotted in a West End show by a BBC producer who asked her to appear on ‘The Paul Daniels Magic Show’ – which ran from 1979 to 1994 – as his assistant. The pair then fell in love and married in April 1988.

OHMYGOSSIP — Tom Hanks’ World War II movie ‘Greyhound’ has been pushed back to 2020.
The movie – which tells the story of a career officer, Commander Ernest Krause, who is given control of a US Navy destroyer called Greyhound – was originally set for release by Sony on March 22 of this year but has now been postponed until May 8, 2020.
Along with starring in the film – which is directed by Aaron Schneider – Tom, 62, wrote the script and is also producing.
The movie will see his character deal with his enemies and also wage a battle against his own personal self-doubt.
Meanwhile, in December, Hanks’ Mr. Rogers biopic was finally given an official title.
The actor is set to star as Fred Rogers – who hosted ‘Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood’, the popular educational children’s TV series of the 60s and 70s which aired on PBS – in the upcoming biographical film, and the production will be called ‘A Beautiful Day In The Neighbourhood’.
The fact-based drama is produced by Sony Pictures, and was previously known to the public as ‘You Are my Friend’, before the studio insisted there was no official title yet.
‘A Beautiful Day In The Neighbourhood’ is directed by Marielle Heller, and alongside Hanks as the TV icon himself, Matthew Rhys plays journalist Lloyd Vogel, while Enrico Colantoni, Chris Cooper, Tammy Blanchard, and Sakina Jaffrey fill out the cast list.
The story is based on Alexis Jolly’s screenplay which was sold in 2013 – though the final script for the movie was written by Micah Fitzerman-Blue and Noah Harpster – and tells the true story of jaded journalist Tom Junod, who has his worldview changed when he sees Mr. Rogers’s sincerity is genuine.
‘A Beautiful Day In The Neighbourhood’ is set to be released in October 2019.

OHMYGOSSIP — Tyga is being sued by Pretty Maw.
A new lawsuit filed by the rapper alleges Tyga, 29, used the lyrics from her song “17th” in his 2018 smash hit ‘Swap Meet’ without proper clearance.
According to TMZ, she alleges that the pair had an agreement that Tyga would pay her a “fixed monetary amount” and royalties from ‘Swap Meet’, which was released in 2018.
Pretty Maw, who appears at the end of Tyga’s ‘Swap Meet’, video – which has over seven million views on YouTube – also claims that the track “heavily samples her work.
Pretty Maw, who has not been credited on Tyga’s song, is seeking an undisclosed payment from Tyga and is also asking for the discontinued distribution of ‘Swap Meet’.
Over the past few years, Tyga has become well known for his high profile relationships with Blac Chyna, the mother of his six-year-old son King Cairo, and Kylie Jenner, but last year, he insisted that he wanted to be known for his music rather than his personal life.
He said: “I really wanted to step in front of the narrative and create my own story. I’m telling my story and it’s authentic — it’s not made up and people are going to be able to put a face to it. The last five years of my life has been a lot of me in the media because of my relationships.”
“It’s definitely the first time in my career that I talked about love and even related to that emotion. That’s the one thing in the world that everyone can relate to.
“With my son getting older and what’s going on in the world, a lot of the music that really inspired me from the late ’90s and early 2000s — that whole generation of music. I just feel like this is what the world needs.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Regina King doesn’t want to get “caught up” in awards season.
The 48-year-old actress has received a flurry of award nominations for her performance as Sharon Rivers in ‘If Beale Street Could Talk’ and although Regina is thankful to get “amazing phone calls” finding out about her nods, she’s “really grateful” she has another project to focus on.
In an interview with Empire magazine, she said: “I’ve never been in it this tough. I’ve experienced the Emmys over the past few years but that’s a one-off. The movie awards season is contagious.
“I’m really grateful that I have a project, ‘Watchmen’, that has created a space for me to focus on.
“So when I get these amazing phone calls its great, but I can’t get caught up because I have a bigger focus.”
The ‘Seven Seconds’ star has already won the Golden Globe and Critics’ Choice Award for Best Supporting Actress this year and is also nominated for the same accolade at the upcoming Academy Awards for her performance in the drama, which follows Sharon and her daughter Tish, played by Kiki Layne, as Tish’s fiancé is thrown in jail after an accusation of rape.
The ‘227’ actress explained that her character was based on both her mother and her grandmother as she always spoke to her grandmother if she had to overcome adversity.
She said: “I think a bit of Sharon is my mother and my grandmother, especially. My grandmother was the woman who, if you talked about the problem, you knew you were going to feel better, you were more confident you were going to overcome the adversity. ”
As for how Regina prepares for an award show, she confessed she indulges in “champagne or tequila” to take the edge off.
She said: “I eat before I go. And I do have a sip of something to knock the nerves off a little bit. Champagne, or tequila.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Daniel Brocklebank has split from his boyfriend.
The ‘Coronation Street’ actor – who plays vicar Billy Mayhew in the ITV soap – and former Mr Gay UK Stuart Hatton, ended their relationship just before Christmas after two years of dating.
A source told The Sun Online: “Dan is really busy with ‘Corrie’ and Stuart has his business interests in the north east. They just don’t have the time and they sat down and had the talk to end things.
“There’s no-one else involved, things just didn’t work out and they decided to move on.
“They still care about each other and wish each other the best.”
The pair met at Stockholm Pride in 2017 but a spokesperson has confirmed their split.
The rep said: “Daniel and Stuart last month made the mutual decision to go their separate ways. They will not be making any further comment.”
Meanwhile, Daniel, 38, previously revealed he experiences homophobia “every week” and is often inundated with derogatory comments about his sexuality.
Daniel often hits back at negative comments about LGBT+ characters in the soaps via social media, and while he says the world has “come so far”, he insists there is “still a long way to go”.
He previously said: “Sadly, I still experience homophobia every week, often via social media. The other week, a woman was horrified they’d brought a bisexual character into the show and tweeted saying it was bad enough ‘Corrie’ kept bringing in gay characters, but to ‘add insult to injury we’ve got a bi’.
“I replied, ‘Get used to your injury being insulted,’ because we’re not going anywhere.
“We’ve come so far and that’s wonderful, but there’s still a long way to go. As long as you’re a nice, decent person, what does it matter?”

OHMYGOSSIP — Melody Thornton “always tried to hide” she “wasn’t the best dancer” in The Pussycat Dolls.
The 34-year-old singer – who was originally joined in the group by Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta, Kimberly Wyatt, and Carmit Bachar – admitted it was a “challenge” trying to keep up with the choreography but now she’s open about the fact she couldn’t match the moves of the other girls.
Opening up to new! Magazine about not being the best dancer in the girl group, she said: “There was a time when I wanted to hide the fact I wasn’t the best dancer, because everyone else was so amazing. Now I’m older I’m able to say, ‘Go and watch the live performances – you’ll see I’m not a dancer’.
“If you look at Kimberly Wyatt… so many things aren’t there for me. Dancing doesn’t come naturally to me and that’s OK. Trying to keep up with the other Pussycat Dolls was always a challenge.”
Melody is competing in this year’s series of British celebrity skating competition ‘Dancing On Ice’ and thinks her lack of dance ability compared with her bandmates is proof she doesn’t have an unfair advantage on the show.
She said: I’ve said before I have some performance experience, but I still have a hard time picking up choreography. I’ve never skated before, either.”
It was recently claimed PYD have been discussing a reunion but Melody insists it’s something that never crosses her mind, though she still feels “blessed” to have had her stint in the group.
She said: “I don’t even think about it. I’m so blessed to have had the opportunity .Being able to write music I love and sing it the way I want to sing it – I think every performer should have that opportunity.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Michael Jackson’s accusers were not offered any money for ‘Finding Neverland’.
The new four-hour documentary from director Dan Reed – which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival – features allegations from Wade Robson and James Safechuck that Michael sexually abused them as children and both men insisted they have not profited from the film but just want to protect others from going through similar experiences.
Speaking after the premiere on Friday (25.01.19), Safechuck said: “From the get-go, there was no money ever offered and we never expected anything. It was really trying to tell the story and shine a light on it. To give people [who have survived abuse] the same connection and comfort we’ve got going through this.”
According to the Los Angeles Times, Robson added: “We’ve been looking for a platform to be able to tell the truth. This film was nothing we ever thought about or sought out. It came to us individually.”
“We can’t change what happened to us. We can’t do anything about stopping Michael. He’s dead. That’s gone. What happened happened. The feeling is, ‘What can we do now?’ Hopefully it helps other survivors feel less isolated…. One of my greatest hopes is raising awareness for parents, teachers, business leaders to help prevent this from happening.”
Robson alleges he was sexually abused by the late King of Pop from the age of seven until 14, while Safechuck – who previously testified on Jackson’s behalf when he was accused of sexual abuse in 1993 – claims he was a victim from the age of 10 until he hit puberty.
Michael’s fans have hit out at the allegations in the documentary and Robson, who also testified for Michael in 1993 and again in 2005, admitted he understood their anger.
He said: “I don’t feel like there’s anything that I need to say to them except that I understand that it’s really hard for them to believe. Because in a way, not that long ago, I was in the same position that they were. So I understand, and we can only accept and understand something when we’re ready. Maybe we’ll never be ready, maybe we will. So that’s their journey.”
Hours after the documentary premiered, Michael’s estate lashed out at Safechuck and Robson, calling them “perjurers” and “admitted liars”.
The statement said: “‘Leaving Neverland’ isn’t a documentary, it is the kind of tabloid character assassination Michael Jackson endured in life, and now in death. The film takes uncorroborated allegations that supposedly happened 20 years ago and treats them as fact.

OHMYGOSSIP — Gugu Mbatha-Raw is allegedly being stalked by a woman who lives on her street.
The ‘Black Mirror’ actress complained to Los Angeles police that she believes she is being stalked and was horrified when the LAPD found a tracking device on her car.
According to TMZ, Gugu’s alleged stalker has managed to follow the actress around the city for almost two months thanks to a GPS tracker she placed under Gugu’s vehicle.
It has been claimed that the unnamed stalker has been showing up wherever Gugu goes, including “hotels, restaurants, spin classes and even her home”.
She has also reportedly been taking pictures of the actress and calling Gugu and her boyfriend repeatedly and then hanging up.
According to police documents, Gugu is worried the stalker could turn violent.
Gugu is not the only celebrity to have a stalker show up at her home. Last year, Kendall Jenner was awarded a five-year restraining order against her alleged stalker John Ford after he was found sitting outside her property for the second time in a week.
Ford now has to remain the agreed distance away from Kendall for five years, in a restraining order which also prevents him from having any direct or indirect contact with her.
Ford’s arrest in October came after another incident the week previous, in which he scaled the mountainside at the back of the gated complex where Kendall lives – where there is no security – and was spotted by Kendall’s team sitting in her backyard by her pool.
Police were called at the time but Ford had gone by the time they arrived, and so no arrest was made until he was spotted once again on Kendall’s front porch.
Following his arrest, 37-year-old Ford was being held on a 5150 psychiatric hold, but after a psychiatrist deemed him to be mentally stable the following day, he was released.
However, just hours after he was released, the LAPD swooped in to arrest Ford once again, booking him for criminal trespass and violating a restraining order.
