Nikki Bella annoyed by family dating intervention

OHMYGOSSIP — Nikki Bella finds it “so annoying” when people remind her her “clock is ticking”.
The 35-year-old professional wrestler hasn’t officially dated anyone since splitting with her former fiancé John Cena just weeks before their planned wedding date last year, and has said she’s tired of people asking her when she’s going to settle down and start a family, because she’s too busy being “proud” of herself for putting her own needs first.
During Sunday’s (20.01.19) episode of ‘Total Bellas’, Nikki joined her brother J.J. Garcia on an outing to the park, where he reminded her that she’s “ticking” after she refused to flirt with any of the men in the park.
In a confessional, Nikki then fumed: “I just find it so annoying; from J.J. and other people who bring up the fact that like, ‘Hey, your clock is ticking!’ I get my age, I get that I’m single. I am damn proud that right now I’m doing things for me.”
Unfortunately for Nikki, that wasn’t the only intervention from her family, as during a family dinner, her brother and twin sister Brie Bella decided to invite a potential suitor.
The wrestling star was left unimpressed as she said: “I feel like everyone’s staring at me. What do you want me to do? Jump on the table and make out with this guy?
“My family should know that the last thing that I want to do right now is be forced to meet someone and date them. It’s like, let me do me. Let me love me for right now.”
Meanwhile, Nikki might not be single for long, as she recently confessed she’d like to keep seeing former ‘Bachelorette’ contestant Peter Kraus, after they enjoyed “one date” – which was filmed for ‘Total Bellas’ – together back in October.
She said: “It’s just been one date so far. It was in the fall and he was so sweet. One, he’s so handsome – even Brie’s husband [Daniel Bryan] was freaking out for him. And he was so sweet and I would totally go out again, especially, I want to try it without cameras. It was like 10 people staring at me. I totally would go out [with him] again.”

Chrissy Teigen’s modern dating confusion

OHMYGOSSIP — Chrissy Teigen is confused by modern dating.
The 33-year-old model hasn’t dated since she began romancing her now-husband John Legend – with whom she has two-year-old daughter Luna and eight-month-old son Miles – back in 2007, and has said she doesn’t understand the new trend she’s seen of people deciding not to be “exclusive” until some time in to their relationship.
She tweeted: “I haven’t dated for a long, long time but are guys really pulling the ‘let’s be exclusive’ thing 6 months into dating like what, I have been exclusive what the f**k have you been.”
Several users then replied to the ‘Lip Sync Battle’ host with their relationship woes, with one follower even telling her their partner recently told them they were a “casual” couple – two years into dating them.
When one Twitter user called Chrissy’s tweet “the worst John Legend subtweet ever” the beauty responded with a laughing emoji and wrote: “12 years in and married ‘baby hey, I’m ready to be exclusive.'”
The Sports Illustrated model then took pity on her followers, and wished them luck on their dating journey.
She wrote: “oh man these stories. I don’t know how you guys are out there dating now. god bless you on your journey.”
But Chrissy didn’t sign off without making a joke about her romance with the ‘All of Me’ singer, who proposed in 2011 after four years of dating, before the pair tied the knot two years later.
She added: “I didn’t date much. I moved in with people. like hello, I live here now. this is how John ended up in this situation.”
Chrissy’s dating confusion comes after she recently claimed she and John, 40, rarely argue because they’re both “apologisers”.
She said: “It helps that John and I fight very differently. I get very passionate and loud, and he’s very much a diffuser. But in the end, we’re both apologisers; we don’t like to dwell on the same thing.
“A lot of our fights revolve around – we don’t have them often – scheduling, communication, or ‘You told me this, but I was holding Luna, and I was baking cookies at the same time, how was I supposed to listen to this and have a conversation?!'”

Ireland Baldwin: Hailey and Justin are like the same person

OHMYGOSSIP — Ireland Baldwin thinks her cousin Hailey Bieber and her husband Justin Bieber are “like the same person”.
The 23-year-old model – who is the daughter of Hailey’s uncle Alec Baldwin and his ex-wife Kim Basinger – is made up for the couple after they secretly tied the knot in September, and gushed about how “perfect” they are for one another.
She told People: “They’re perfect for each other because they’re like the same person.
“They’re both really sweet. They complement each other. They’re both every loving of each other.”
Seemingly referring to the fact the ‘Drop the Mic’ star, 22, and ‘Sorry’ hitmaker, 24, are a similar age and both have to cope with being in the intense spotlight, she added: “They’re going through the same struggles, I feel like, and they are just helping each other out. As life goes, we all go.”
The newlyweds were recently reported to have sent out save the date cards to celebrate their nuptials with some close friends and family for a date in the next couple of months.
A source said: “Justin and Hailey are so happy and inseparable. They are thrilled that they can finally share their love and commitment with family and friends. They want the music, entertainment and exciting details to be a big surprise for their guests … There was no location included in their text, because they want complete privacy. Everyone is in full preparation mode. Justin plans to use his personal DJ to spin on the big day. They truly are planning a beautiful celebration and a party to be remembered.”
Justin confirmed his marriage to Hailey in a social media post made to mark Thanksgiving in November.
He wrote: “Happy late thanksgiving to everyone. First thanksgiving as a married man, first time hosting thanksgiving. First time both sides of the family has come together. Relationships are hard and love isn’t always easy but thank you Jesus for showing me how! Every day is a learning process, trying to be more like him, patient, kind, selfless, boy I got a long way! But gods grace is sufficient (sic).”

True Thompson starts crawling

OHMYGOSSIP — True Thompson has started crawling.
Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson’s nine-month-old daughter has already said her first word and now she has started taking her first baby steps.
The ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star shared a sweet video of the tot on Instagram on Sunday (20.01.19), of her moving quickly towards her mom’s cell phone before knocking it over, all whilst letting out little giggles.
Referring to her baby girl’s sweet laughs in the black and white clip, Khloe, 34, wrote on Instagram: “The ultimate sound.”
In the video, Khloe can be heard repeating, “No, that’s my phone!”, as baby True moved fast towards the phone several times, before eventually toppling it over.
In November, Khloe revealed that True’s first word was “dada”.
She wrote on her app: “I can’t believe my baby is seven-months-old! True now has three teeth and she’s going to crawl any second. She also smiles constantly, but I still can’t get that little munchkin to laugh unless I tickle her. Maybe I’m just not funny, LOL. She also says ‘dada,’ but I think she means ‘mama’. [wink emoji] (sic)”
Meanwhile, an insider recently claimed Khloe and Tristan won’t get engaged “any time soon”.
The reality star and the NBA player have been the subject of engagement rumours over recent months, but sources have since claimed they won’t be progressing their relationship to the next level in the near future, because they want to focus on True.
A source said: “Khloé and Tristan are really focused on doing what’s best for [daughter] True. They are not going to get engaged anytime soon. The focus right now is on whatever is best for True.”
The ‘Revenge Body’ star is said to still be learning how to trust Tristan, 27, after he was caught on video getting close to another woman just days before the birth of their daughter.
The source added: “Tristan is trying everything he can to regain her trust, but Khloé is spending more time in LA because True has so many family members and such a support system there.”

Ant McPartlin: Declan Donnelly was ‘angry’ with me over drink-driving conviction

OHMYGOSSIP — Ant McPartlin’s presenting partner Declan Donnelly was “angry” with him following his drink-driving conviction.
The 43-year-old television host took almost a year off work when he checked into rehab after pleading guilty to drink-driving following a car crash in March last year, and he has now admitted his actions caused “tensions” with his presenting partner Dec, which he believes were completely “justified”.
Ant said: “I saw Dec the day after the crash and we didn’t even speak work. It wasn’t about that. It was about, ‘How are you?’ I said: ‘I’m not right.’ You know, mentally I wasn’t in a good place.
“We’re friends first and foremost. And we’re friends from the age of 13. But of course there’s going to be tensions there. Because this is not just getting p****d and making a fool of yourself at the office Christmas party – this is drink driving.
“He’s angry, of course he’s angry. But it’s justified and I understood it. Underneath all of that is love and still is love. And that’s what we talked about more than anything.”
Ant left Dec to present their shows, including ‘Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway’, ‘Britain’s Got Talent’, and ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here’ – for which he had help from Holly Willoughby – on his own, but Ant believes it was “absolutely the correct decision” for the programmes to continue without him.
Speaking to Dan Wootton for The Sun newspaper, he added: “It was absolutely the correct decision for Dec to carry on with Takeaway. If it had been the other way, I would have done the same. But I was taking time out of life, not just work. Work was secondary.
“I said to Dec, ‘I just need to take time out and re-evaluate and get better and deal with things going on in my life. It will take as long as it takes.’
“I’m very lucky that I’ve got an understanding business partner and best friend who said, ‘Absolutely, your head is more important than anything.’ I had to lock myself away.”

Sarah Paulson won’t watch Bird Box

OHMYGOSSIP — Sarah Paulson won’t watch ‘Bird Box’.
The 44-year-old actress starred as Jessica Hayes, the older sister of Sandra Bullock’s leading character Malorie Hayes, in the post-apocalyptic Netflix movie, but has said that despite the film’s increasing popularity, she’ll probably never sit down to watch the flick as she rarely watches any of her own work.
Speaking during an appearance on ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’, she said: “I haven’t seen it. I’m like the one person on the planet who hasn’t seen the movie. I don’t watch anything I do ever … not since ‘The People vs O.J.’ I haven’t.”
Sarah’s decision not to watch movie’s she’s worked on means she likely also won’t catch M. Night Shyamalan’s recent superhero-thriller, ‘Glass’, the concluding chapter to the director’s Eastrail 177 trilogy.
In the movie she stars as Dr. Ellie Staples, a psychiatrist determined to prove that superheroes do not exist, and she recently revealed she cried when she was offered the role.
She said: “That’s how willing I was to do it.
“When he finally called me and said, ‘I want you to do the movie’, I burst into tears.
“For all I knew, I was bursting into tears about a movie I was going to have one scene in.”
And the ‘American Horror Story’ star even says she dreams of starring alongside Bette Midler in ‘Ocean’s 9’, after previously having a role in ‘Ocean’s 8’, but would likely never watch their performance back.
She said: “I would like to add Bette Midler to the cast. I think she’d be great, or Emma Thompson. Can’t go wrong with either of them. Yeah, let’s get them both.”

Lars Ulrich ‘stunned’ by Miley Cyrus’ Chris Cornell tribute

OHMYGOSSIP — Lars Ulrich was “stunned” by Miley Cyrus’ performance at Chris Cornell’s benefit concert.
The Metallica rocker was left speechless during the ‘I Am The Highway’ gig at the Forum in Los Angeles last week – which was held to honour the Soundgarden frontman, following his tragic death in May 2017, aged 52 – when he watched Miley perform a heartwarming rendition of Chris’ ‘Two Drink Minimum’, as well as ‘Say Hello 2 Heaven’, by Chris’ band Temple of the Dog.
Posting a picture of himself and Miley after the concert, 55-year-old Lars wrote: “Miley, still stunned by your next level version of “Say Hello 2 Heaven” for Chris! Beyond inspiring… #IAmTheHighway (sic)”
During the concert, 26-year-old Miley took a moment to pay tribute to the ‘Black Hole Sun’ hitmaker, and said it was an “honour” to be asked to perform at the event.
She said: “Thank you, everybody. I f***ing wanted to sing this song tonight. We love you, Chris. Thank you for bringing us all together like you always have. It’s a f***ing honour. This was the f***ing best day.”
Alongside Miley and Metallica, the likes of Foo Fighters, Jack Black, Brad Pitt, and Muse’s Matt Bellamy were also at the event, as well as Chris Cornell’s wife Vicky, who gave an emotional speech in which she said her late spouse would be “very proud” of the turn out.
She said: “We all know how music can change us, but Chris did something more extraordinary – he changed music and paved the way for so many from Seattle to across the globe.
“And that legacy, and his influence, will live for generations to come. I am so proud that, along with his legacy, his philanthropic work continues to grow and flourish.
“Chris would be so very proud. Simply put, to me, and because of all of you, Chris lives on, a music immortal whose passion for helping others is more alive today than ever.”

Janette Manrara and Aljaz Skorjanec plan to start family

OHMYGOSSIP — Janette Manrara and Aljaz Skorjanec plan to start a family one day.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professionals are making their dancing careers their “priority” for the time being, but they would love to have a baby when the time is right.
Janette told the latest issue of HELLO! magazine: “It’s never going to be the perfect time to have a baby but we do talk about it a lot and we are very much looking forward to becoming a mum and dad.
“So it’s definitely going to happen. When, we don’t know, we’ll see.
“We’re kind of taking it slowly.
“A dancer’s career can be quite short, especially when you reach a certain level, and work is going so good for us at the moment that is the priority.”
Aljaz, 28, was amazed that his younger sister Lara had a child before him, after she welcomed her daughter Zala into the world three months ago.
He said: “If someone had told me five years ago that my little sister was going to have a baby before me I wouldn’t have believed it, but I feel like everything comes at the right time when it’s supposed to come.”
The couple had three wedding ceremonies in 2017, in London, Miami and Slovenia, where Aljaz is from.
Janette had every little girl’s dream wedding, as she walked down the aisle to a song from the Disney movie ‘Cinderella’.
On finding her own “Prince Charming”, the 35-year-old beauty gushed: “Aljaz makes me smile, he makes me laugh, he makes me happy and he makes me feel like a princess.
“I grew up in Miami and I’ve been to Disneyworld 42 times. On our wedding day I walked down the aisle to a song from Cinderella because I always say I found my Prince Charming.”
It was “love at first sight” for Aljaz, who told Janette he would marry her one day and begged her to go out with him.
He recalled: “I was the one that fell in love at first sight and I had to beg her to go out with me.
“Then, as soon as we started spending time together, it was obvious we were soul mates.”
Janette added: “I remember very clearly, the first time we went out with the cast of the show, Aljaz came up to me and said ‘I’m going to marry you someday’.
“I said, ‘OK, sure’. I was like, he’s so handsome, he’s so charming; he can’t be real.
“So I never really believed it. Then, when I gave him a chance and we went on our first date almost a year later, I never came back.”

Kevin Parker recalls losing $40K worth studio gear in wildfires

OHMYGOSSIP — Kevin Parker has recalled having $40,000 worth of his studio gear burst into flames during the California wildfire.
The Tame Impala star has admitted he was “lucky” to make it out of the property he was renting in the Malibu Hills in November, when the devastating blaze, which saw 98 civilians and six firefighters lose their lives, caused serious devastation to thousands of properties – including those of Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth, Robin Thicke and Gerard Butler.
The ‘Let It Happen’ hitmaker was staying in the property to work on music for 2019, and felt “a wave of panic” as he stood and watched the fire roar through the hills.
Kevin had woken up earlier than he usually would, meaning he escaped, taking with him his laptop and Hofner guitar, but the rest of his music equipment didn’t make it.
He recalled to Seven West Media: “I usually sleep a bit later, so it’s quite lucky that I woke up when I did.
“I didn’t know where else to go … At least I knew I could jump in the water.
“I stood and watched the flames burning the hillside for an hour.”
In November, Kevin took to Instagram to share a picture of the equipment in his rented apartment, and wrote: “RIP to all this gear (and someone’s beautiful house) in Malibu. I made it out with my laptop and the Hofner. My heart breaks for the wildlife (sic)”
Tame Impala are set to release their hotly-anticipated follow-up to their 2015 LP ‘Currents’ this year.
Speaking about his aspirations for the record, the 33-year-old musician told the news outlet in the band’s hometown of Perth, Australia: “We’ve just got to pull out all the stops.”

Lionel Richie’s son cautioned over bomb threat

OHMYGOSSIP — Lionel Richie’s son was cautioned by police after threatening to detonate a bomb at London’s Heathrow airport.
Miles Brockman Richie reportedly became angry on Saturday (19.01.19) after being told he couldn’t get onto a flight so allegedly claimed he was carrying explosives, which he’d unleash if he wasn’t allowed on the plane.
According to TMZ, security attended the incident and the 24-year-old model allegedly punched one of the guards, prompting police to intervene.
A police spokesperson said: “On Saturday January 19, a 24-year-old man accepted a caution for communicating false information causing a bomb hoax and battery following an incident at Heathrow Terminal 5 earlier that morning.”
A caution means a person has accepted responsibility for their behaviour but they are not arrested or charged.
If Miles had been charged over the threats, he could have faced a stint behind bars as last year, a man was sentenced to 10 months in jail for causing a bomb hoax at nearby Gatwick Airport because he was late for his flight.
Representatives for Miles and Lionel have yet to comment.
Meanwhile, the ‘Hello’ hitmaker – who has Miles and Sofia, 19, with second wife Diane Alexander, and adopted oldest daughter Nicole with his first wife Brenda Harvey – previously credited his son’s birth for pulling him out of a particularly low period in his life.
He said: “My father was ill and I went through a very, I won’t say a depression, a massive depression … my dad was my hero. I went through that whole period of my life.
“It was something about the birth of my kid. Miles came along, Nicole was already there, I realised I had a group of people looking up to me to be the head of the house. They didn’t know what the hell I did for a living so I thought at that particular point, let’s go back and prove to the kids what I do. I realised, this is what I should be doing.”

Steve Guttenberg marries

OHMYGOSSIP — Steve Guttenberg has got married.
The ‘Police Academy’ actor tied the knot with CBS-TV’s ‘Living Large’ reporter Emily Smith in a small, intimate ceremony in Malibu, California, on Saturday (19.01.19), People magazine have confirmed.
The couple first met on a blind date in 2014 after WCBS0TV’s Scott Rapoport played matchmaker and though it took two months for them to arrange a meeting, they instantly hit it off over drinks.
A year later, the pair moved in together and in December 2016, Emily revealed she had got engaged to the 60-year-old star in a Facebook post.
She shared a photo in which she was holding up her new engagement ring while the ‘Three Men and a Baby’ actor stood by her side.
The post was captioned: “Yes, yes, yes.”
Last year, the couple moved to Pacific Palisades, where Steve already owned a home.
Meanwhile, Steve – who was previously married to model Denise Bixler – recently revealed a new ‘Police Academy’ movie is in the works, much to the delight of fans.
After one of his followers urged Steve to shoot another ‘Police Academy’ film in London, he wrote on the micro-blogging platform: “Adam , the next Police Academy is coming, no details yet, but it is in a gift bag being readied! (sic)”
The ‘Police Academy’ franchise currently spans seven films, starting in 1984 and ending with 1994’s ‘Police Academy: Mission to Moscow’.
The veteran actor starred as Officer Mahoney in a number of the movies, which spawned a cartoon series and even a line of toys.

Blac Chyna visited by police

OHMYGOSSIP — Blac Chyna was visited by police after she was accused of being so intoxicated, she was neglecting her daughter.
LAPD officers called to the California home of the ‘Rob + Chyna’ star – who has son King Cairo, four, with former partner Tyga and two-year-old daughter Dream with ex-fiance Rob Kardashian – on Sunday (20.01.19) night after receiving an anonymous call that alleged Chyna was so drunk in her house, she was unable to properly take care of her little girl.
However, when cops got to the house, they found no one was drunk and not only was Dream being properly looked after, there was also a nanny in attendance at the property.
Sources told TMZ that earlier in the evening, the reality star had got into a fight with a member of her glam team, which may have resulted in the anonymous police complaint.
Meanwhile, the 30-year-old former make-up artist is currently locked in a legal row with Rob over an explosive argument they had in 2016, which saw Chyna allegedly damage his television and the walls, break down a door and destroy his phone.
And the 31-year-old sock designer recently claimed in court documents that he has been forced to pay out over $100,000 following the alleged incident, including hiring a team of security guards to protect him from his former partner.
Chyna had originally filed court documents stating any alleged damages she caused to his property would only total $5,000, but the ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star alleges the total damage was substantially more.
Rob claims it cost him $17,000 to “repair and/or replace only part of the property” Chyna destroyed.

Ciara hits back at Future?

OHMYGOSSIP — Ciara has seemingly hit back at her former fiancé Future, after he slammed her husband Russell Wilson.
The 35-year-old rapper slammed the NFL professional last week when he claimed he wasn’t “being a man” in his relationship with Ciara – with whom Future has four-year-old son Future Zahir – because he doesn’t tell her not to talk about Future on social media.
And now, it seems 33-year-old Ciara has offered a subtle response to Future’s comments, as she told her Instagram followers she was going to “rise above” the hate.
Posting a picture of herself taken from a low angle, she simply wrote: “Rise above.”
And it seems Russell has also commented on Future’s outburst, as he posted a picture on his own Instagram account of Future Zahir giving his 21-month-old half-sister Sienna Princess – whom Ciara has with Russell – a sweet kiss.
The American football star wrote: “All that matters. #Love (sic)”
The posts come after the ‘Fine China’ hitmaker blasted the couple, saying that if the situation was reversed and he had married Ciara, he would stop her from “bringing her exes’ names up”.
He said: “He do exactly what she tell him to do. He’s not being a man in that position. He not tellin’ her, ‘Chill out with that on the internet. Don’t even talk to him, I’m your husband! You better not even bring Future’s name up!’
“If that was me, she couldn’t even bring his name up. She know that. She couldn’t even bring her exes’ names up. Don’t give that s**t no energy.”
Ciara married Russell in 2017 after calling off her engagement to Future in 2014, and previously said she feels inspired by the Seattle Seahawks quarterback.
In a video posted for his birthday, she said: “I love you so much. I am so excited for this special day for you. It is your birthday, but I also hope you feel like every day is your birthday or at least it is my goal to love you that way. May this year be everything you hope for and more – everything that you work hard for and more, you work hard. And you inspire me.
“I am grateful for the man that you are to our house, the father that you are to our kids, the lover that you are. You inspire me to be better. You make me a better woman. I am a better woman because of you.
“You make me want to figure out ways to love in a way that I never knew I could but I sure want to try hard as heck to make you happy because you make me feel so good. I hope you feel all the love you make me feel on this special day. I love you.”

Dermot O’Leary was tired of X Factor ‘games’

OHMYGOSSIP — Dermot O’Leary quit ‘The X Factor’ because he was tired of ITV playing “games” with his contract.
The 45-year-old presenter began hosting the show in 2007 but he opted out of the job in 2015 because, despite it being such a huge professional commitment he would be able to undertake little else, producers refused to confirm if they still wanted him just “weeks” before filming was due to begin.
He said: “When you sign on to ‘The X Factor’ it takes nine months of your year.
“But at the end of every series you were left not knowing if your contract was going to be renewed. I remember being in Austin, Texas, and still not having heard whether I was going to be doing ‘The X Factor’, which would have started in a matter of weeks.
“I made a call to ITV and was told I might be doing it, but I might not.
“I’d done eight years there very successfully and I thought, I’m not playing these games any more. So I called ITV and told them to count me out.
“Saying ‘No’ was the only power I had.”
Although Dermot – who is married to producer Dee Kopang – had an initial moment of panic about his decision, he vowed to prove to himself he could “live without” the talent show and use the time to pursue a number of other ventures.
He added in an interview with Event magazine: “The following day I thought, ‘Holy s**t!’, but I decided to do all the things I’d planned but never had the time for.
“I had an idea for a documentary, I had a couple of ideas for children’s books I wanted to write, and I wanted to show myself I could live without ‘The X Factor’.”
Caroline Flack and Olly Murs stepped in to host the show but received a lot of criticism for their performance, and Dermot returned the following year with an £8 million, four-year deal.
The presenter also believes his decision has only improved his relationship with show chief Simon Cowell.
He said: “Television is a game, and Simon lets everyone play. He doesn’t interfere with what I do. There’s a mutual respect. If anything, our relationship was better after I left and then came back. No one can get too big for their boots, especially not in this business.”

Glenn Close feels as ‘creative and as sexual as ever’

OHMYGOSSIP — Glenn Close feels “as creative, as sexual and as eager” as she ever has done.
The 71-year-old actress – who has won a host of awards during her illustrious career – believes she is still in her prime and she is excited about what the future holds.
She said: “I feel as free and as creative, as sexual and as eager, as I ever have. And it’s ironic because I’m thinking: ‘How much time do I have left now?’ There are so many things I’m interested in doing.
“It’s one of those ironies, I suppose, that we sometimes start feeling comfortable in our own skin only late in our lives, but hopefully with enough time to benefit from it.”
Glenn isn’t certain about her future in the movie business – but the lack of clarity is something that excites the veteran star.
In fact, the ‘Fatal Attraction’ actress revealed she is “chuffed” with where she currently finds herself in her life and in her career.
Speaking to the Guardian newspaper, Glenn – who is a six-time Academy Award nominee – explained: “I’m so glad to do what I do because even though I’m not a method actor and I don’t use my life in my acting, my work is still a progression.
“So what comes after this I’m excited to see. Right now, I’m just enjoying feeling … Chuffed. Isn’t that what you all say? I’m feeling very chuffed.”

Christian Bale pledges to stop weight fluctuations

OHMYGOSSIP — Christian Bale has pledged to stop putting his body through extreme transformations.
The Oscar-winning actor has developed a reputation for losing and gaining weight for some of his most famous on-screen roles, but Christian thinks it’s time he stops punishing his body, saying he must consider his “mortality”.
He told the he Sunday Times newspaper: “I can’t keep doing it. I really can’t. My mortality is staring me in the face.”
Christian, 44 – who has kids Joseph, four, and Emmeline, 13, with his wife Sibi Blazic – admitted that his family are now familiar with seeing his appearance change in dramatic fashion.
He shared: “No matter what happens, my wife’s seen it.
“My son loved the tummy. He would just bounce up and down on that a lot and headbutt it and bounce off it and fall to the floor.”
Christian won the Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy award at the Golden Globes earlier this month.
And the acclaimed star subsequently joked that Satan had influenced his portrayal of former US Vice President Dick Cheney in ‘Vice’.
During his acceptance speech, Christian – who gained 40lbs, shaved his head and bleached his eyebrows for the movie – explained: “[Director Adam McKay] said, ‘I’ve got to be somebody who can be absolutely charisma-free and reviled by everybody’. So he went, ‘Oh, that’s got to be Bale.’
“To the competition, I will be cornering the market on charisma-free a***oles. What do you think, Mitch McConnell next? That would be good, wouldn’t it?
