OHMYGOSSIP — Julia Roberts played matchmaker with Connie Britton – but it didn’t work out.
The Golden Globe-nominated actresses – who both missed out on the Best Actress in a Drama TV series award for their roles in ‘Homecoming’ and ‘Dirty John’ at the weekend – have become close friends and Connie, 51, has revealed the ‘Money Monster’ star recently setup her up with a man, and even though the date didn’t blossom into a relationship this time, she is grateful for “mama” trying to find her a love interest
Appearing on Busy Phillips’ ‘Busy Tonight’ show, she said: “I’ve gotten to be friends with Julia Roberts…she tried to set me up with somebody … it hasn’t worked out yet. But at least mama tried, you know what I’m saying?”
Connie – who was married to investment banker John Britton between 1991 and 1995 – also revealed that the ‘Notting Hill’ actress, also 51, “touched” her face and shouted “I love you” when they first met.
The ‘Friday Night Lights’ star also quipped that she is more of a fan-girl than a “functional” friend of the ‘Pretty Woman’ star.
She recalled: “She came up and she was like, ‘I love you,’ and I was like, I’m never washing my face again.
“Can you tell? It’s not really a functional relationship. Like it’s not really, it’s not really a healthy friendship, it’s more like I idolise her and she’s nice to me.”

Gina Rodriguez recalls ‘horrendous’ first panic attack

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Gina Rodriguez thought she was “going to die” the first time she suffered a panic attack.
The 34-year-old actress has revealed she experienced her first major anxiety episode after she became famous for her role as Jane Villanueva in The CW comedy-drama series, ‘Jane the Virgin’.
The Chiacgo-born star was eating out at a sushi place, when she started to get paranoid that people were looking at her.
She told the February issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine: “The anxiety stated coming, like, two years into ‘Jane’.
“[I] had my first panic attack at a sushi restaurant.
“All of a sudden, I thought I was going to die, and people are taking pictures. It was horrendous.”
Though Gina struggled with the intense spotlight at first, she has come to accept the downsides that comes with being famous.
She explained: “There are a lot things in the manual of living out your dreams that you don’t know about.
“Like you don’t have any more friends.
“You never go out to eat. You never see your family, your boyfriend, girlfriend, or whatever you have.
“It’s interesting. As a performer, you have to quite literally bury your life.
“Every day on-set I’m like, How the hell did I get this lucky?
“To live out your dreams is a really surreal experience.”
The ‘Deepwater Horizon’ star also opened up about her battle with low self-esteem and how she has learned to love her body.
She admitted: “I felt very alone growing up.
“I didn’t feel represented. I didn’t feel a part of the conversation.
“And if you see yourself projected, you believe you are worthy, valuable.”
Gina is no longer fearful of not looking her best and is proud to be able to represent her fellow Latina women – who she feels are underrepresented in Hollywood.
She said: “I let go of the anxiety and the fear of not looking beautiful. Because it’s not about the picture. It’s about the fact that I stand on this cover with every Latina who wished she saw herself reflected.
“Because it’s not my face – it’s the 55-million-plus girls who are like, ‘Holy s***! We belong.'”

Kim Kardashian West still has tracksuit she first met Kanye in

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Kardashian West still has the Juicy Couture sweatsuit and Louis Vuitton bag she wore when she first met Kanye West.
The ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star responded to a fan on Twitter who shared a picture of her wearing the Barbie pink Velour tracksuit and rainbow print handbag, which she was rocking on the night she was “on her way” to the MTV Video Music Awards to see her now-husband perform in 2007.
The 38-year-old reality star – who is expecting her fourth child with the ‘All Day’ rapper – also revealed that she met the Yeezy CEO’s late mother Donda that same evening, two months before she tragically passed away at the age of 58.
When a fan pointed out her Paris Hilton-inspired look on Twitter, she wrote: “Fun Fact- in this pic I was on my way to meet Kanye for his Good Life performance for the MTV Awards. I didn’t really know him but his people called my people lol & I was a girl in the audience at the live performance in Vegas. I met his mom Donda this same night (sic)”
She then added: “P.S. I still have this sweatsuit and this bag.”
The KKW Beauty businesswoman – who already has North West, five, Saint, three, and 11-month-old Chicago with Kanye – previously admitted that her fashion sense changed after she started dating the ‘Gold Digger’ hitmaker, and that she is “mortified’ whenever she sees pictures of her old outfits.
She said: “I really think that my relationship with my husband Kanye West really changed everything.
“I mean, back in the day I thought I had the best style. I look back at outfits and I’m, like, mortified.”
Kim didn’t start seeing Kanye romantically until 2012, when her 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries came to an end.
The couple tied the knot in 2014 at a lavish ceremony in Italy.

Catherine Tate says Mathew Horne left her play in the lurch

By
Ohmygossip.com

OHMYGOSSIP — Catherine Tate says Mathew Horne has left the ‘The Catherine Tate Show Live’ “in the lurch” and moved on to another play.
The 50-year-old star – who is currently starring ‘The Catherine Tate Show Live’ at the Wyndham’s Theatre, London – informed audiences on Tuesday (08.01.19) that the 40-year-old actor would no longer be in the production as he had moved on.
She joked: “He’s got a proper job in a play. Broke his contract, leaving me in the lurch, even though I’ve given him 15 years of steady work. What a liberty!”
Meanwhile, the ‘Gavin and Stacey’ star recently had a brush with death when he was hit by a train on a booze-fuelled night out over the Christmas period.
He was clipped on a pedestrian crossing and thrown backwards in Burton Joyce, Nottinghamshire, while walking back to his parents’ house but luckily did not require hospital treatment.
A duty manager at The Nelson pub where the actor had been drinking said at the time: “It was a really, really unfortunate accident and it could have been a lot worse. We are all glad that it wasn’t. He was obviously very shaken up but he’s all right now. He’s got a bit of a scratch on him but no underlying issue there whatsoever.
“Mathew is a regular customer of ours. I can say that everybody was quite spirited that night and it’s a genuine mishap on his part.
“We know Mathew well. We were just making sure that he was OK, as we would with any customer. Mathew wasn’t taken to hospital. The police had to be called just because of the nature of the incident. But they were just glad that he wasn’t harmed.”
Another source in the village added that the comedian had made a “miraculous escape” from the incident.

Amber Heard came out as bisexual to help others

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Amber Heard was inspired to come out as bisexual to empower herself and other people coming to terms with their sexuality.
The 32-year-old actress felt it was her “responsibility” to tell the world about her sexuality at GLAAD’s 25th anniversary event back in 2010 and to remove to “taboo” surrounding bisexuality so she could help young people with the same sexuality feel “less inadequate” and give them “someone they could relate to”.
In an interview with IO Donna magazine, she said: “It was a period when my colleagues were increasingly demanding privacy and at the same time being bisexual was considered a taboo. But to be silent about something means to admit underneath that, that thing is wrong. But I knew it was not. So I told about myself, to describe reality in a truthful way and to offer young people, someone, they could relate too, since people in my generation had grown up without any person to reference. Who knows, thanks to me, maybe someone has felt less inadequate.
“It is a responsibility that I feel rooted in me. The great thing about this job is that it offers me an important platform, but I have a duty to give something back. To talk about justice, to make my roles have an impact … it’s the least I can do.”
The ‘Aquaman’ star was in a relationship with female photographer Tasya van Ree back from 2008 until 2012 and then she went on to marry Johnny Depp, whom she is now divorced from.
Amber is a supporter of the #MeToo movement and she is proud of what changes it has helped bring in to the film industry so far but is adamant there is much more that needs to be done to achieve true equality for women in the business.
She said: “I am happy that the conversation has changed radically, today there is much more awareness. But women are at a crossroads.
“We are galvanized because we finally know what is ours, what is our place, but at the same time, we are exhausted by the attitudes that so far have held us back, diminished us or reduced us to objects. The film industry still has a lot to do to get back on track.”

Whoopi Goldberg is still ‘game’ to host Oscars

By
Ohmygossip.com

OHMYGOSSIP — Whoopi Goldberg is still “game” to host the Oscars.
The 63-year-old media mogul has already hosted the prestigious ceremony four-times, first in 1994, 1996, 1999 and in 2002, however the ‘Sister Act’ star said to be determined to take on the job again, after Kevin Hart quit following the controversy surrounding his previous homophobic tweets.
Speaking to The New York Post’s Page Six column, a source said: “Everyone is hoping they’ll do a series of presenters and have no formal host.
“Whoopi really is game to do it though.”
Kevin Hart, 38, stepped down from presenting next month’s ceremony after some of his past controversial tweets emerged, which he has since spoken out twice to apologise for, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are now said to be lining up a select group of A-listers to introduce the segments rather than one host.
Sources have told Variety that barring an 11th hour change of heart, the show’s producers are planning to focus on music in film skits due to likely nominees Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar and Dolly Parton, rather than have one individual kicking the ceremony off with a monologue of quips.
Insiders insisted the idea of Kevin returning to host the ceremony, which will take place at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre on February 24th, is 100 per cent dead.
The comedian confirmed as much in an interview earlier this week.
He said: “I’m not hosting the Oscars this year. It’s hard to predict what can happen … right now I don’t have the time.”
The American actress previously confessed the audience “need someone to take them through things” during the ceremony.
Goldberg said: “If you want to go host-less, that’s your prerogative. I think it’s a dumb idea. People need someone to take them through things. I think it needs to be somebody who loves the films.
“Now, I realise I may not be anybody’s first choice .. I’m also problematic!”

Britney Spears’ album delayed amid father’s health battle

OHMYGOSSIP — Britney Spears has delayed her album amid her father’s ongoing health battle.
The 37-year-old musician recently revealed she was cancelling her Las Vegas ‘Domination’ residency – which was due to launch at the Park Theater at Park MGM in February – in order to support her family, after her father Jamie Spears was left in a “life-threatening” condition when his colon ruptured two months ago.
And now, her management has confirmed that as well as her residency, she will also be delaying the release of her upcoming album, which she was working on with Justin Tranter.
Larry Rudolph told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “Everything is on hold right now until [her father] Jamie is better. But once he is, she will resume working on the album with Justin. Right now, she’s taking some time off to deal with these family issues.”
The ‘Toxic’ hitmaker confirmed her career break earlier this month in a statement posted on Twitter.
She wrote: “I don’t even know where to start with this, because this is so tough for me to say. I will not be performing my new show ‘Domination’. I’ve been looking forward to this show and seeing all of you this year, so doing this breaks my heart.
“However, it’s important to always put your family first… and that’s the decision I had to make. A couple of months ago, my father was hospitalized and almost died. We’re all so grateful that he came out of it alive, but he still has a long road ahead of him.”
Britney, 37, also thanked her fans for their good wishes.
She added: “Thank you to all my fans for your continued love and support during this time. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and I look forward to the time when I can be back on stage performing for all of you.”

Louise Redknapp suffers horror fall

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Louise Redknapp has been rushed to hospital after suffering a horror fall.
The 44-year-old singer was on her way to rehearsals in London’s West End for the Dolly Parton musical ‘9 to 5’ earlier this week when she took a tumble and suffered a deep gash on her chin, as well as fracturing her left wrist.
Louise’s fall means she’s had to pull out of the musical – in which she was due to play Dolly’s role as Violet Newstand – as she was told after urgent treatment that she would not be able to work for at least two months.
A source close to Louise told The Sun newspaper: “It happened on the way to rehearsals on Tuesday morning. She fell in the street.
“She went to hospital and had stitches. Then doctors told her she needs time out and can’t do the show.
“She is obviously completely devastated because this is a dream role for her. It doesn’t seem fair.”
Producers of ‘9 to 5’ – which opens for previews on January 28 – are yet to decide who will replace the ‘Let’s Go Round Again’ hitmaker in the musical, but have put out a statement confirming Louise won’t be performing until at least late March.
They said: “We hope Louise will start performances towards the end of March or early April.
“Due to an injury this week, Louise Redknapp has had to temporarily withdraw from performing the role of Violet in 9 to 5 The Musical.
“The recovery time recommended means Louise is no longer able to properly rehearse the show in the remaining time left before opening.
“Together we have made the difficult decision to delay Louise’s start date in the show. We hope that Louise will start performances sometime towards the end of March/early April 2019. Everyone at 9 to 5 wishes Louise a speedy recovery and we look forward to welcoming her back.”

Kate Hudson: It’s hard to juggle life with three kids

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Kate Hudson admits it can be difficult to “juggle” her life as a mother of three.
The 39-year-old actress welcomed daughter Rani – her first child with boyfriend Danny Fujikawa – into the world in October, and has said the new addition has posed some challenges to her daily life, as she’s found her family home to be “busy” with five people in it.
Kate – who is also mother to 15-year-old son Ryder, whom she has with Chris Robinson, and seven-year-old Bingham, whose father is Muse rocker Matt Bellamy – said: “We’re sort of balancing out the masculine and the feminine. It’s great – it’s a lot right now, I’m not going to lie – it’s busy in the house. It’s a lot trying to juggle and manage, and balance is a daily … it’s like, the family huddles around and everyone gets their strategy and then and we’re like, ‘Hike! Let’s do this, let’s spread out.’ But it’s good.”
And with her children each being seven years apart in age, the ‘Bride Wars’ star says it can be tough knowing how best to parent each child – especially her teenage son Ryder.
She added: “Basically, I’ve been having children my entire adult life. Ryder is 15, he’s sort of doing his own thing right now. He needs a different kind of nurturing. I’m nurturing him differently than, say, Rani and Bing. Him, it’s like a more mental nurture these days. Like, ‘Let’s sit down and talk about this.’ But in terms of having to do things, he’s really independent and doing a lot on his own and more helpful than it is needing from me in that way. He’s more my helper.”
Kate might be juggling life as a parent, but she has her boyfriend Danny to help and insists he’s the “greatest” father.
Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight’, she said: “Danny is the greatest. I feel like I hit the jackpot. His natural ability as a dad is just amazing to watch. He’s also just an incredible, supportive partner for me. That’s a nice thing to have.”

Anna Faris and Chris Pratt ‘work hard’ to co-parent

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Anna Faris and Chris Pratt “work really hard” to be supportive of each other in the wake of their split.
The 42-year-old actress officially divorced Chris in November 2018, and has said that whilst their break-up did come with “bitterness and pain”, the couple – who are now both in new relationships, Anna with Michael Barrett and Chris with Katherine Schwarzenegger – do their best to remain civil and “happy” for the sake of their six-year-old son Jack.
Speaking on her ‘Unqualified’ podcast, she said: “Chris and I work really hard ’cause we have Jack, that is sort of the long game idea and making sure Jack is really happy, which makes us really happy. We have sort of the luxury of circumstance. You know, we are both in other loving relationships … but it is … it’s like how do you not in general sink into a place of bitterness?
“I do want to reiterate though, that I f***ing acknowledge, we all do, everyone acknowledges, that there is bitterness and pain with all breakups and that hopefully makes us all human. But the long game is just the worst being the bigger person. It just is. It f***ing sucks until, then what happens though, is that everyone’s happy.”
Her comments come after she previously claimed she and the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ star still have “a lot of love” between them, despite splitting in August 2017 after almost 10 years of marriage.
She said: “We have a great friendship, we really do and we always have. And it’s always tough to envision your future as one thing, but I think there is a lot of love. And in what we do there is so much [unpredictability].”
And since their split, the ‘Scary Movie’ actress has kept her cards close to her chest when it comes to her love life.
She said: “I think it’s a lesson learned a little bit in terms of keeping relationships a little more private, potentially, even though I pride myself on being a pretty open person. But, I don’t know, it’s tough when you’re under the scrutiny.”

Normani Kordei’s mental health struggle

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Normani Kordei says being in Fifth Harmony took a toll on her mental health.
The 22-year-old singer shot to fame when she and her band mates – Lauren Jauregui, Dinah Jane, and Ally Brooke, as well as former member Camila Cabello, who quit the group in 2016 – finished third on American version of ‘The X Factor’ in 2012.
But Normani has said rising to fame at a young age had an impact on her mental health, as she would spend recording sessions in tears.
She said: “So many sessions, I would cry like I’ve never cried before.”
And although the ‘Work From Home’ hitmakers tried to help her overcome her struggles – which stemmed from being one of the only people of colour in the group – she says the other girls didn’t understand what she was feeling.
She added: “I don’t think they had the tools that they needed, because it’s not their experience. I can give them credit for trying to be there for me, but at the same time … The girls don’t experience things the way I did.”
Fifth Harmony went on indefinite hiatus in May 2018 so the members could pursue solo careers, and Normani is determined to “kill it”, because she feels a “responsibility” as a black woman.
Speaking to Billboard magazine, she said: “There’s so much that I have to get off my chest. And there’s a responsibility I have as a black woman – one of the very few to have the power to kill it. Even in the mainstream, there’s not many of us.”

Jada Pinkett Smith to dedicated Red Table Talk special to R. Kelly

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Jada Pinkett Smith is set to dedicate a two-part special of her ‘Red Table Talk’ series to discuss R. Kelly.
The R&B star is currently facing accusations of sexual assault made by a host of women in the new Lifetime documentary series ‘Surviving R. Kelly’, and Jada, 47, has revealed she will be discussing the allegations at length over two episodes of her popular Facebook Watch talk show, which she stars in alongside her 18-year-old daughter Willow Smith, and mother Adrienne Banfield-Jones.
Posting on the ‘Red Table Talk’ Facebook page, Jada wrote: “Join us at the Red Table for a special two-part episode this Friday and Monday where we will continue the conversations regarding the survivors and abuse illuminated in Lifetime UK’s docuseries, Surviving R. Kelly. We appreciate all of your comments and hope you join us for this important conversation.”
The special episodes will feature one of Kelly’s accusers, Lisa Van Allen, as well as Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Chicago School of Medicine, Dr. Candice Norcott, who will discuss the public’s reaction, as well as abuse warning signs and the different paths to healing.
Jada has spoken out on the allegations against the ‘Ignition’ hitmaker once before, when she took to social media to ask her followers to explain why sales of his music had increased since the docuseries aired.
She said: “So, I got an article this morning that R. Kelly streams have spiked substantially since the release of ‘Surviving R. Kelly’ docuseries and I’m having a really difficult time understanding why.
“But I think it’s important that I understand why. I really would like for you guys to help me understand what I’m missing, even if I’m missing something that I don’t necessarily agree with. I just want to understand what I’m missing.
” … I really don’t want to believe that it’s because black girls don’t matter enough. Or is that the reason? So, let me know.”

Rylan Clark-Neal allegedly receives homophobic abuse on the street

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Rylan Clark-Neal has hit out after allegedly receiving homophobic abuse in the street.
The 30-year-old television presenter – who has been married to Dan Neal since 2015 – took to Twitter on Thursday (10.01.19) to claim he had been the subject of homophobic comments whilst out in London, and got his revenge by mocking the way the alleged abuser ran away.
He wrote: “To the p***k on Great Portland Street that just shouted “F**k Off You F****t” at me. When I shouted you what at you and you run away…. you run like phoebe in friends… (sic)”
And several hours later, he tweeted again to thank his fans for their supportive messages, and reminded them to ignore people who make such comments.
He said: “Didn’t expect that tweet to blow up. Thanks for all ur nice messages. I’m totally good tho. Sad but these things still do happen but just remember… Unless they paying your bills, pay them b***es no mind. Cheers u lot xx (sic)”
Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time Rylan has encountered homophobia, as when he was covering the Eurovision Song Contest in May 2018, he did a TV interview which was later axed by one of the entering countries.
He said at the time: “I did Eurovision a few weeks back and to be fair, you can’t get a gayer show than Eurovision.
“But I did one interview out there with a country, I won’t say which country it was, and the BBC had a phone call from that channel that the interview was for, saying ‘We’re not going to use that interview because we thought it was too provocative’, or something like that.
“I thought, ‘How could I have been provocative?’ So what they did, the BBC looked at it back, we had a representative there looking back at it as well, and all I will say is there is an issue which happened in that country in Eurovision and I very much sensed why they didn’t want that interview to go out.
“We believe, I believe, and I have to say it’s my words only, but it was because of my sexuality; because they knew I was gay.”

Normani Kordei ‘amazed’ by Fifth Harmony’s achievements

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Normani Kordei is “amazed” by the accomplishments of her Fifth Harmony band mates.
The 22-year-old singer and her pals Ally Brooke, Lauren Jauregui, and Dinah Jane – who were also accompanied by former member Camila Cabello before she left the group in 2016 – announced their hiatus in 2017, and each member has been pursuing a solo career ever since.
And now Normani has said she can’t believe what her friends have achieved, including Camila’s recent Grammy nomination, as she says she’ll always stay close to her band mates.
She said: “[Camila] had an amazing run. I am so proud of everything that she’s doing. She’s nominated for a freaking Grammy! Like, that is amazing. And all from what girl group? Fifth Harmony. Like, that s**t’s fire. And I know that all of us are more than capable of doing that. I’ve come to believe that I am that talented. Before, I didn’t wholeheartedly believe that.”
Normani has more confidence in her abilities now than she did whilst in the group, because she used to believe that she was being ignored because she wasn’t “talented”.
When asked how she dealt with racism inside the industry, she said: “It was a subconscious thing. You think, ‘Why am I the least followed in the group?’ Even if you don’t recognise that you’re paying close attention to it, it takes a toll on your confidence. You worry – is it me? Is it because I’m black? Or am I just not talented?”
And the ‘Work From Home’ hitmaker now has plans to branch out into different areas including launching a clothing line, and trying her hand at acting.
Speaking to Billboard magazine, she said: “I see myself performing at the Grammys, traveling the world with my family. I want to meet all my fans across the world. There’s so many places I have yet to go to. I’m like, ‘Oh, wow, I really do have fans there. People know who Normani is?’ I want to have the clothing line. Hopefully, I go into fragrance. I want to cross over into film and acting. That’s a victory in my mind. I want to open dance schools.”

Reese Witherspoon is ‘passionate’ about successful women

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Reese Witherspoon is “passionate about women having their own money”.
The 42-year-old actress has become known for her work in helping to empower women through her production company Hello Sunshine – which aims to create parts for strong female leads – and says she’s “passionate” about making sure women don’t feel “afraid” to be successful.
She said: “There are just reasons I’m passionate about a lot of things, you know? I think there’s a time and a place and there will be a moment when I can speak about it. But there’s a reason I’m very passionate about women having their own money. I have a lot of friends and I have a lot of personal experiences with women feeling afraid and making life choices because they felt completely paralysed or in a stasis because they didn’t know what to do financially. And you can’t have liberation if you don’t have that.”
The ‘Big Little Lies’ star wants her production company to “put women at the centre of the story”, because she’s “sick” of seeing scripts which don’t cater toward female stories.
She added: “The idea is to put women at the centre of the story. I was sick of making movies where I was the only female lead on the set. I was sick of seeing scripts where there was only one female role, badly written, and yet every actress in town wanted the part because there was nothing else.”
And although she’s passionate about empowering women, Reese admits she herself used to be scared to display her achievements, as she even used to “hide” the Oscar she won in 2006 for playing June Carter in ‘Walk the Line’.
Speaking to Vogue magazine, she said: “I used to hide my Oscar but then I was like, ‘Why shouldn’t I put it out here in the living room?'”

Kelly Rowland feels ‘strong’ as a mother

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Kelly Rowland wants her “body to reflect” how “strong” she feels as a mother.
The 37-year-old singer says she stopped working out after giving birth to her son Titan, now four, but after realising she wanted to be as strong physically as she feels in motherhood, she’s begun hitting the gym once again, and now “feels good” about the way she looks.
She said: “After I had my son it dwindled because I was so obsessed with him and just being with him and next to him.
“Then it became a time when I was like, ‘Oh my God, I want to feel great in this dress again’ and ‘I want to be really strong.’ I am really strong in motherhood, and I want my body to reflect that.
“When I started training again, I felt amazing. Training for me is a little bit selfish, but there is nothing wrong with that. When I get a moment, I owe it to myself to feel good physically!”
The former Destiny’s Child member claims she “lost” herself when she stopped working out, but believes her new regime has given her a completely fresh mindset.
She added to People magazine: “I started losing myself [when I stopped going to the gym]. I’m doing a new method of training with a trainer. She is training me for my life, so that my back will always work for me, my core will always work for me and my body will work for itself with strength. I just have to keep it strong.”
Meanwhile, Kelly said her son – whom she has with her husband Tim Witherspoon – makes her feel more “confident”.
She said: “My son makes me feel confident. He’s just amazing. I’m like, ‘I did that right.’ He came at the most interesting time of my life and I had no choice but to be strong. I want him to be better than me, it’s just that simple. So I always like to make sure I’m doing right by him.”
