Brutus Beefcake thanks Hulk Hogan for helping him through dark times

OHMYGOSSIP — Brutus ‘The Barber’ Beefcake has thanked Hulk Hogan for helping him through a dark period of his life.
The former WWE Superstar – who will inducted into the company’s Hall of Fame on Saturday night (06.04.19) – has praised his long-time friend for supporting him through a divorce, the deaths of both his parents and a horrific paragliding accident in July 1990 which almost cost him his life.
Speaking to Sports Illustrated, Brutus – real name Ed Leslie – said: “My doctors told me I was lucky to live. I was never supposed to wrestle again. I was also going through a bad divorce and my parents had just died, so that was a really dark time.
“I took life one day at a time. I had the support of people in the WWE, and I had a good friend in The Hulkster. Terry pulled me from the depths, and he told me I was going to get better. With a lot of support, I did.”
Brutus and Hogan – whose real name is Terry Bollea – started their professional careers together as The Boulder Brothers tag team in 1977, and it was a dream come true for the lifelong wrestling fans to compete together.
Brutus added: “Terry and I were just a couple kids from Tampa living our dream. We had sat on the beach for endless days talking about wrestling, and then there we were, living it, working territories in Florida and Alabama with guys like Ox Baker, Bob Armstrong, and Professor Toru Tanaka.
“They took us under their wing and helped make us into what we became.”
Beefcake will enter the Hall of Fame with the other inductees – including D-Generation X, The Honky Tonk Man, Harlem Heat, and Torrie Wilson – at the ceremony at the Barclays Centre in New York City on April 6, the night before ‘WrestleMania 35’.

Bebe Rexha encourages women to be empowered by their sexuality

OHMYGOSSIP — Bebe Rexha thinks women should embrace their sexuality in any way that is comfortable to them.
Giving a talk at the London College of Music to students about her ‘Women in Harmony’ initiative the 29-year-old singer advised the young ladies in attendance that wearing a “a push up bra” or “something sexier” is fine as long as “it feels natural to you” and is something you are doing for yourself.
She said: “What I would say to younger females is that if it feels natural to you and you want to wear a push up bra or wear something sexier – you should wear it because it makes you feel good, but it has to feel comfortable to you.”
Bebe’s ‘Women in Harmony’ initiative is an event founded by the musician which has taken place in both Los Angeles and London and aims to enable female creatives in the music industry to help and support each other, encouraging conversation and collaboration amongst them.
The other stars to get involved in the project include Rita Ora, Noah Cyrus, Charli XCX, Nicole Scherzinger and Ray BLK and the ‘Say My Name’ singer explained that part of the initiative is to encourage women in the industry to work together, rather than be in competition.
She said: “It’s like, I’ve been told ‘she’s signed to your label so she’s your competition’ – nobody is your competition but yourself. There’s enough room for all of you guys.
“I created ‘Women in Harmony’ to bring women together in an industry where they are not equal, and they should be.”
The ‘I’m A Mess’ hitmaker went on to speak about being signed to a major record label and believes that an artist becomes a commodity once they are part of a large record company’s roster.
Speaking at the University of West London, Bebe added: “When you’re signed to a record label you are a product. So if you’re not selling or making money for them then they don’t care, you are a product. That’s when it gets hard because you are a human.”

Christie Brinkley says each day is a gift

OHMYGOSSIP — Christie Brinkley has marked 25 years since she was involved in a near fatal helicopter crash by admitting she feels “blessed” to be alive every day.
The 65-year-old model is grateful she survived the terrifying incident with five others in Telluride, Colorado, in 1994 and she never ever takes her life for granted.
Christine shared a picture of the April 18, 1994 issue of PEOPLE – which she featured on the cover of with a bandaged swollen wrist and – wrote on her Instagram page: “This happened 25 years ago today and not a day goes by that I have not counted my blessing for being alive. I know for a fact that tomorrow is not a guarantee and that each day is a gift and an opportunity to make sure that everybody we love knows it! (sic)”
The model-and-actress embarked on a heli-skiing tour in the San Juan mountain range with five other pals and luckily survived the accident 12,800 feet up a mountain.
About an hour into their trip the group decided to tour a slightly higher spot nearby and just as they reached the peak they encountered problems.
When their helicopter took an unexpected sharp turn and made a 200-foot tumble down a 40-degree incline, the Sports Illustrated model feared for her life.
Christine recalled: “Just boom, boom, boom, pow!
“I would look out the window and see sky-mountain-snow, sky-mountain-snow. I was thinking, ‘I am going to die. Right now? Like this? A ski trip? Today?'”
Luckily, the ‘Vegas Vacation’ star eventually fell out of the helicopter’s open door and then landed in the snow on her back.
The rest of her group also fell amongst the snow and were rescued by helicopters who took them to hospitals to treat their injuries.

Ariana Grande won’t label sexuality

OHMYGOSSIP — Ariana Grande doesn’t “feel the need” to label her sexuality.
The 25-year-old singer recently released a new song with best friend and songwriter Victoria Monet entitled ‘Monopoly’ in which she sings the line “I like women and men”, leading many fans to speculate about her sexuality.
But now, Ariana – who has never publicly dated a woman, but has had high profile romances with the likes of the late Mac Miller, and former fiancé Pete Davidson – has said she doesn’t define herself by any particular sexual orientation.
When one fan on Twitter defended her against online criticism and wrote: “ariana ain’t gotta label herself, but she said what she said. (sic)”
The ‘7 Rings’ hitmaker replied: “i haven’t before and still don’t feel the need to now which is okay (sic)”
However, despite the speculation, a source close to Ariana said after the track’s release that the line was simply included to show her ongoing support for the LGBT community.
The insider said: “She is of course a well-known LGBT ally and this is her supporting her friends.”
Meanwhile, the new release comes after Ariana recently took to social media to reveal she is releasing music on her own terms, because it feels “more authentic” than fitting her music around a set schedule.
One fan praised her for her sporadic releases, writing: “ariana saying f**k the rules and deciding to release music whenever the f**k she wants / it feels right. best decision she ever made. (sic)”
And Ariana responded: “It feels sm healthier & sm more authentic & rewarding. regardless of the outcome, i prefer this bc it’s real & feels happy. no games. i love music. i love the ppl i make it w. these past few months made me fall in love w this job all over again. so thank u sm for being down.

Joe Jonas signed NDA before finding out Game of Thrones ending

OHMYGOSSIP — Joe Jonas had to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before he could visit his fiancée Sophie Turner on the set of ‘Game of Thrones’.
The 23-year-old actress plays Sansa Stark in the HBO fantasy drama which is set to come to an end this month when the eighth and final season airs, and she’s said her husband-to-be Joe Jonas, 29, had to sign a legal document preventing him from talking about the show’s highly anticipated ending when he visited her on set.
Sophie said: “He was on set for most of [filming the final season], so he kind of figured [the ending] out. He had to sign an NDA.”
And the blonde beauty also revealed the Jonas Brothers singer had to have the camera lens on his phone covered up, in order to prevent him from taking sneaky pictures of the filming.
She added: “He had to have full photo approval on set, his camera was covered up, everything.”
But despite the lengths bosses went to to prevent Joe from talking, Sophie doesn’t think he’d be able to keep it to himself.
Speaking on ‘Good Morning America’, she joked: “You can give him a call, he’ll probably tell you everything.”
Meanwhile, Sophie recently claimed she’d told the ‘Sucker’ hitmaker how the show ends, and said he was “mad” at her for spoiling the dramatic plot twists.
She said: “I’ve just told Joe [Jonas]. But he’s so mad at me – he loves the show! Well, I have to tell someone, otherwise I’ll burst.”
And she’s not the only person to have ruined the show for their loved ones, as her on-screen brother Kit Harington, who plays Jon Snow, recently revealed his wife Rose Leslie – who previously appeared on the show as his on-screen lover Ygritte, before departing in season four – refused to speak to him for “three days” after he told her key plot spoilers.
Kit said: “I told my wife last year how it ended, and she wouldn’t talk to me for about three days. And she’d asked!”

Celine Dion gets ‘strength’ from late husband

OHMYGOSSIP — Celine Dion still gets “so much strength” from her late husband René Angelil.
The 51-year-old singer lost her lifetime partner, manager, and husband – with whom she had 18-year-old René-Charles and eight-year-old twins Nelson and Eddy – to cancer in 2016, but has said she feels so much “power and positivity” in her life, which she believes comes from René.
She said: “I feel so powerful and in charge and grounded and happy. I think from René giving me so much strength and power and positivity and being in charge even more because now, I will never be a dad, but it’s like I’m in a double job as a parent, so I’m a ‘parents.'”
The iconic songstress is doing a good job as a single mother too, as she says she’s “so proud” of her brood.
She added: “The kids are growing and I see them and I look at them and I’m like well, we’ve done a great job and I’m so proud.”
And despite suffering a great loss when René passed, the ‘My Heart Will Go On’ hitmaker has said she won’t “stop living”, and plans to keep pushing forward with her life.
She said: “You cannot stop living and go forward. Today’s the first day of the beginning of my life because I know that I don’t have to worry.
“I feel stronger, more beautiful, more grounded. There’s this power and this strength that comes with that maturity.”
Celine also claims that whilst she isn’t necessarily looking to marry again, she is “in love” with life itself.
Speaking during an appearance on ‘Good Morning America’, she confessed: “I am in love. Love is not necessarily to marry again. When I see a rainbow, when I see a sunset, a beautiful dance number, I laugh, I cry. I’m in love. I go on stage every night because I love what I do, so I’m very much in love.”

Taraji P. Henson’s worsening anxiety

OHMYGOSSIP — Taraji P. Henson’s anxiety is getting worse “even more every day”.
The 48-year-old actress had admitted she struggles with both depression and anxiety, and has said that being in the spotlight has had a negative impact on her mental health, as she no longer finds fame “fun”.
She said: “[Fame] was fun at first, but the older I get, the more private I want to be. I think there’s a misconception with people in the limelight that we have it all together, and because we have money now and are living out our dreams, everything is fine. That’s not the case. When they yell ‘Cut’ and ‘That’s a wrap,’ I go home to very serious problems. I’m still a real human.
”I suffer from depression. My anxiety is kicking up even more every day, and I’ve never really dealt with anxiety like that. It’s something new.”
In order to help with her mental health, the ‘Best of Enemies’ star meets with a therapist, which she says is the “only way” she can make it through her darkest moments.
She added to Variety magazine’s Power of Women New York issue: “That’s the only way I can get through it. You can talk to your friends, but you need a professional who can give you exercises. So that when you’re on the ledge, you have things to say to yourself that will get you off that ledge and past your weakest moments.”
Meanwhile, Taraji previously said she wants to use her art and fame to “broaden horizons”.
The ‘What Men Want’ actress said: “I don’t care if you’re young or old or what colour you are, art is so powerful … You can show things to people you’ve never met and you broaden horizons. I don’t take for granted what I have, and I try to use it in any way I can, positively.”

Jennifer Lopez sued over World of Dance

OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Lopez is being sued by a man who alleges she stole the idea for ‘World of Dance’.
Alvin Gray-El has filed a lawsuit against Jennifer, NBC, and choreographer Debbie Allen, as he claims the American reality competition – which began in 2017 and is executive produced by Jennifer, who is also on the judging panel – is based off of an idea he came up with 10 years ago.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Gray-El alleges he came up with an idea for a show called ‘Let’s Start the Dance’ back in 2009, and claims he faxed a letter to Debbie and her production company in an effort to see if she would be interested in producing the show.
He then claims he never heard back from the choreographer, but went ahead and had the show registered with the US Copyright Office in 2010.
Gray-El discovered ‘World of Dance’ was in the works at NBC in 2017 shortly before it aired, and alleges he tried to get in contact to notify them of the copyright infringement, but says he never heard back.
Debbie has no involvement in the NBC show, but Gray-El believes she must have given the information to Jennifer, who then created ‘World of Dance’.
He is seeking $5 million in actual damages and $1.5 million in punitive damages.
‘World of Dance’ sees dance performers including solo acts and larger groups, representing any style of dance, competing for a grand prize of $1 million. Their performances are judged by Jennifer alongside Ne-Yo and Derek Hough.
The series was created in partnership with preeminent global dance brand, World of Dance, which produces dance competitions and dance lifestyle events in more than 25 countries, spanning the U.S., Europe, South America, and Asia.

Lauren Conrad is pregnant

OHMYGOSSIP — Lauren Conrad is expecting a second child.
The 33-year-old reality star already has a 20-month-old son named Liam James with her husband William Tell, and on Tuesday (02.04.19) she announced her family is set to expand once more as she’s pregnant with the couple’s second child.
Posting a professionally shot picture of herself cradling her baby bump, she wrote on Instagram: “It’s been hard to keep this one to myself! Very excited to share that our family will be getting a little bigger this year.”
The ‘Hills’ alum tagged the picture’s photographer Yoni Goldberg in the snap, who also posted the image on his own account and wished the happy could all the best.
He wrote: “So happy for my friends @laurenconrad and @williamtell2ndand honored to capture this moment (sic)”
Meanwhile, the news comes after Lauren previously admitted she feels “overwhelmed” being a mother.
She explained: “I think that you can become a little overwhelmed, just being at home with your baby all day. Honestly, it’s exactly as everyone describes it. It’s the best and hardest thing you’ll ever do. It’s amazing. You fall so in love with your tiny person – it’s a whole new life. I took a photo of [Liam] yesterday. I’m trying to take a monthly photo – all of the good moms do it – I’m really trying. So I took it and I looked at it next to his one-month photo, and he had just changed. Like he was a completely different baby, and I was like, ‘Oh my God.’ But seeing how fast they change, you realize it’s so important not to miss anything.”
And the blonde beauty also recently claimed her life is a “bit of a mess”.
She said: “It’s really funny to me when people have this idea that I have things very put together. My life is a bit of a mess, and I don’t broadcast that, but I like it that way … I like to focus on the prettier parts of life, but that doesn’t necessarily represent all of it.”

Posting on Instagram, she wrote: “Recovering from a C-Section is no joke! I’m feeling thankful for these two older siblings looking over their new baby sister. I think we all get so carried away with the excitement of having a new baby that we forget that we are going in for major surgery. Then on top of that, we get home from the hospital, have to recover from the surgery, balance our new life as a parent to three kids and be a wife.”
The news comes after a source recently praised Jessica for having “the best attitude” toward her recovery.
An insider said: “She had the best attitude about her recovery. She was very excited about having another baby girl.
“Her older kids were around [the hospital] a lot and doted on the baby… They can’t get enough of the baby. Everyone is very happy.”

She wrote: “We are so happy and proud to announce the birth of our perfect daughter, Birdie Mae Johnson.”

Neil Ruddock ‘eating everyone’s meals on Celebrity MasterChef’

OHMYGOSSIP — Neil ‘Razor’ Ruddock has been eating everyone else’s meals on ‘Celebrity MasterChef’.
The retired footballer – who recently documented his battle with food on ITV’s ‘Harry’s Heroes’ – has reportedly been tucking into other contestants’ dishes during his time on the BBC cooking series, and even sending videos of himself on the toilet.
A TV insider told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: “Razor is eating everything, not just his own meals, but also the ones his rivals are cooking up.
“When he’s around it’s mayhem and bosses have never seen anything like it. And he’s sending these videos of himself on the loo to wind everybody up. He’s a brilliant signing.”
Filming for ‘MasterChef’ has come after Neil’s efforts on ‘Harry’s Heroes’ when he joined a group of ex-England international footballers led by Harry Redknapp trying to get in shape for a match against former Germany stars.
The retired sportsman had been told he had to overhaul his diet and fitness because he was at risk of a stroke.
However, he has since revealed that he has actually put on weight since filming last summer.
He recently admitted: “I knew I had a bad knee anyway but I didn’t know what was happening inside.
“I am the joker of the pack and you think it is not going to happen to you but I went to see a doctor in Harley Street and it was a wake-up call really.
“It wasn’t that big of a scare but I have got to have my knees done because of the damage I am doing with my weight.”
For the upcoming series of ‘Celebrity MasterChef’ – due to air later this year – Razor will be joined by several other stars, including fellow ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ alumni Vicky Pattison.

Kate Beckinsale misses Loose Women while in US

OHMYGOSSIP — Kate Beckinsale misses ‘Loose Women’ now she lives in America.
The 45-year-old actress loves the lunch-time talk show so much she has tuned in to nearly “every episode”, and she would love to go on a mini break with panellists Jane Moore or Nadia Sawalha.
Kate is quoted by The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column as saying: “You suddenly find that you’ve watched every episode. When you’re away from home you find yourself being really committed.
“I’m always quite pleased when Katie Price is on but if I had to go on a mini break I’d probably go away with Jane Moore or Nadia Sawahla.”
The ‘Underworld’ star – who first started seeking work in American in 1998 – also admitted she misses English guys, because she thinks they have a “self-deprecating humour”, and she finds men in the US to be too macho.
She said: “There’s a kind of machismo in America.
“English men have a kind of self-deprecating humour and I think it’s really healthy.”
The brunette beauty recently revealed she keeps her father Richard Beckinsale’s memory alive by watching his old sitcoms.
The ‘Total Recall’ actress – whose famous father died aged 31 from a congenital heart defect when Kate was just five – says her mum Judy still has “a million videos” of him, and she loves showing her own daughter Lily clips from the likes of ‘Porridge’ and ‘Rising Damp’.
Kate recently said: “She has my father Richard Beckinsale’s ‘This Is Your Life’ book from his appearance on the show with Eamonn Andrews in 1977, which is really cool. That’s a lovely thing to have. We also have like a million old video tapes, which we can’t watch unless we find a video player. She’s a pretty good custodian of all of that stuff.
“The sitcoms my dad was in are, of course, extremely important to me. It’s also nice to show some of it to my daughter Lily.”

Sandi Toksvig smashes cake in ‘soul destroying’ Bake Off ‘disaster’

OHMYGOSSIP — Sandi Toksvig smashed Krishnan Guru-Murthy’s cake in a “soul destroying” moment on ‘Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer’.
The Channel 4 newsreader is part of the broadcaster’s charity special edition of the baking TV favourite, but he was left mortified when the show’s host tried to help him flip his cake between two cooling racks.
In scenes set to air on tonight’s episode (02.04.19), the tin slipped through the middle before falling onto the worktop, and it all went downhill from there.
Krishnan is quoted by the Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: “It’s very soul destroying … I don’t know whose fault it was. She said it was my fault.
“I didn’t feel it was my fault.”
The celebrity contestant described the awkward moment as a “disaster” as he explained how it unfolded.
He added: “Sandi got hold of the bottom and she said, ‘You get hold of the top’. And of course it didn’t work, because it’s very hard to stay in sync with someone else as they turn it over. The whole thing fell apart and collapsed, it was a disaster.”
Sandi has gone above and beyond during the charity ‘Bake Off’ series, and last week the co-host stepped in for rapper Big Narstie after he called in sick.
Co-host Noel Fielding – who called his colleague “Little Narstie” – joked it was a “seamless swap”.
Explaining the situation, he said: “There has been a development overnight.
“Unfortunately, Big Narstie can’t be with us today as he’s a little bit unwell, but he will be replaced by another baker. It’s a seamless swap, don’t worry.”
Sandi then admitted she hasn’t baked a cake since school, quipping: “I haven’t cooked a sponge since domestic science O-level.”

Original Oasis drummer Tony McCarroll wants reunion

OHMYGOSSIP — Original Oasis drummer Tony McCarroll wants the band to reunite.
The 47-year-old musician was in the iconic Manchester group from the very start, with brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, guitarist Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs and bassist Paul ‘Guigsy’ McGuigan, and he has admitted he would jump at the chance to play with his old bandmates once again – despite taking them to court.
Tony left the group in 1995, but sued the band in 1999 and ultimately agreed an out-of-court settlement of over £500,000 that also saw him give up all future royalties.
Asked if he’d like to see the ‘Some Might Say’ hitmakers get back together, he told the Daily Star newspaper: “I would love that. If I got the phone call, that would be a nice way to round things off. End it where it started.
“That wall of sound we had with me, Guigsy and Bonehead, that power, it was all there.”
Tony was hit hard by his departure from the Britpop group and hit the booze “for three whole years”.
He also admitted that he was “young” and naive to take the band to court.
He recalled: “I couldn’t get myself out of a suitcase for the next few years.
“The band were getting bigger, good on them, but I needed to get away from the whole thing.
“Really I got drunk for three whole years.
“But at the same time the court case was all ongoing, so I’m dealing with questions from solicitors round the clock.
“And that just wasn’t me. I was a young lad, I didn’t appreciate or care about law and litigation and I was just gutted I had to go through that.”
The sticksman also finds it impossible to escape the band as he’s reminded of their music and success everywhere he goes.
He said: “You’re reminded every single f***ing day of Oasis. “On the radio, one of your mates, someone you work with.
“I’ll never get away from being the original Oasis drummer and that’s something I’ve got to take on the chin.”
Recalling how he repaired his friendship with Liam, 46, at a ‘Supersonic’ film screening in Manchester in 2016, Tony said: “We were all drunk and I just thought f*** it.”
He also had a fractious relationship with Noel, and upon his exit from Oasis, the band’s chief songwriter had stated that Tony wasn’t up to playing their new material, despite drumming on their first number one single ‘Some Might Say’.
Noel said at the time: “I like Tony as a geezer but he wouldn’t have been able to drum the new songs.”
Tony was replaced by Alan White, who remained until 2004.
Whilst Tony is keen for a reunion, he will have a hard job trying to convince feuding siblings Liam and guitarist Noel, 51, to agree to reform Oasis.
Noel – who quit the group after after a backstage fight with his younger brother at their concert in Paris in 2009, which ultimately led to their split – repeatedly insisted he has no intentions of rejoining his old band.
Although Liam had given up hope of a reunion, the singer had said he was open to commemorating the 25th anniversary of ‘Definitely Maybe’, which Tony played on, with Bonehead – who frequently joins Liam on stage at his solo gigs – and Guigsy.
Asked if he’ll mark the anniversary of the band’s seminal 1994 debut album, he said in January: “Who knows? I love having Bonehead around, he’s a good craic, but as for having him in full-time, f**k that, I couldn’t handle it and vice versa.
“Been there, done that. I’ve not heard from Guigsy for a long time, I hear he’s still in London.”
