Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West buying new supplies for fourth baby

OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West are starting to buy “everything” they need for their fourth child.
The couple are expecting to welcome their fourth tot – and second via surrogacy after daughter Chicago was born in January last year – in May, and despite already having three other children, sources say the pair are on a shopping expedition to collect clothes and baby supplies, as they “don’t really do hand-me-downs”.
A source said: “They don’t really do hand-me-downs, so each baby is like their first. They’re buying everything they need for him, and Kanye insists they go top-of-the-line for everything. So they’ve been shopping.”
The insider insists the pair – who also have North, five, and Saint, three, together – give all their unused baby clothes to charity, but don’t reuse them for their own children.
And it seems a lot of their supplies will be ordered online, as 41-year-old Kanye likes to shop from his phone when he can’t sleep.
The source added to People magazine: “Kanye is a big online shopper. When he can’t sleep, he gets online and buys whatever he wants. A lot of what they’re getting, they order online.
“They’re going to have everything the baby needs pretty soon. And the rest of the family is big on getting gifts, too. This baby is going to have everything he needs.”
Kim, 38, and Kanye, 41, have “just recently” started to share their baby news with their family, and the ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star is said to be planning “some sort of shower” to celebrate.
An insider said recently: “They just recently began sharing the news with friends that they were having a fourth. They’ve been so busy with their three kids and the holidays they haven’t had a lot of time to do anything else.
“Kim will have some sort of shower to celebrate. It’s a different experience for Kim when she isn’t pregnant. But she’s happy she has been through this before and knows what to expect. She had such a positive experience the first time and is really thrilled to be able to do this again this way.”

Kevin Hart apologises again over historic tweets

OHMYGOSSIP — Kevin Hart has apologised again to the LGBTQ community for his “hurtful” historic tweets, which caused him to step down as host of the 2019 Oscars.
The 39-year-old actor and comedian removed himself as host of the upcoming Academy Awards after past homophobic tweets he had made were resurfaced, and he has now spoken out in an apology to those he offended with his comments.
Speaking on his SiriusXM show ‘Straight from the Hart’ on Monday (07.01.19), he said: “Once again, Kevin Hart apologises for his remarks that hurt members of the LGBTQ community. I apologise.”
The ‘Night School’ star went on to explain he had revisited his tweets, as well as his 2010 comedy set on ‘Seriously Funny’ in which he made homophobic jokes, as he claims he now understands how his material can “hurt” people.
He continued: “We thought it was okay to talk like that [in the past], because that’s how we talked to one another. In that, you go f**k. This is wrong now. Because now we’re in a space where I’m around people of the LGBTQ community, and I’m now aware of how these words make them feel, and why they say ‘That s**t hurt because of what I’ve been through.’
“So then we say, ‘Hey, man, as a group, let’s erase this s**t. We don’t talk like this no more. Hey, let’s not do this. We don’t post this s**t on social media.'”
Kevin hopes the LGBTQ community will “accept” the fact that he’s “changed” since he made the tweets in 2008.
He said: “I’m not debating right from wrong. I’ve already stated it’s wrong. But, the other side of it is this: If the fight from the LGBTQ community is equality, that’s the fight. The fight is the will and want for equality. I’m riding with you guys. I understand you. But in the fight for equality, that means that there has to be an acceptance for change.
“If you don’t want to accept people for their change, then where are you trying to get to the equal part? Where does the equality part come in? Because all of the people that have done wrong are the people that – you want their attention to say, ‘This is why we want you to change, so we don’t feel the way that we feel.’ And those people go ‘S**t. I used to f***ing be this way, guys, I’m not anymore. I’m sorry.’ But then they go, ‘But you didn’t say it right. Saying, ‘I’m sorry,’ you didn’t say ‘Sorry, sorry, sorry.’ But no, wait, guys, I just said ‘I’m sorry.’ ‘Not the way you should have! What does that mean?’ And then they break down the way things should be said.”
And the comedian then claimed the response he received even after apologising once was a form of “bullying”, as he urged people to be “accepting of people and change”.
He said: “And now it turns into, you’re bullying them because now, now that I said what I said the way that I would say it because I’m me, you’re now trying to change me into becoming what version of me you want me to be.
“I don’t think it’s wrong for people to have their own personal beliefs. I think that in the times that we’re living in, we have to be understanding and accepting of people and change. Bottom line.”
His comments come after he told Ellen Degeneres that he was reconsidering his position as host of the Oscars, as the award show – which take place next month – is yet to find a replacement host.

Olivia Colman finds fame ‘intimidating’

OHMYGOSSIP — Olivia Colman finds it “intimidating” leaving the house now she is recognised everywhere she goes.
The 44-year-old actress won the 2019 Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical for her role as Queen Anne in ‘The Favourite’ and, despite being delighted with the accolade, the British star has admitted being famous is one part of her job that she has struggled with and it has forced her into being a recluse.
She told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “I don’t really go out anymore. I find it one-sided; everybody knows your face but you don’t know theirs.
“I find that a little intimidating. I tend to stay at home. I love my job very much and know that is an unfortunate side effect.
“And again some people deal with it better than me.”
Olivia can’t even walk down a street in America anymore without being noticed by someone.
She said: “It is annoying.
“I went over there for a holiday and it was heaven, because I went out to the park with the kids and nobody looked twice.
“And now that is annoying isn’t it? I will have to find somewhere else to go.”
Regardless, the ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ star – who has 14-year-old Finn, 12-year-old Hall and a three-year-old daughter with husband Ed Sinclair – vowed to keep enjoying her success when she collected her award on Sunday (06.01.19).
Whilst paying tribute to her co-stars Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz, who she jokingly hailed her “bitches”, she said: “I’m not going to cry because my whole table will laugh at me. Thank you for the sandwiches.
“Thank you my bitches Emma and Rachel! Every second working with you was such a joy. So much fun.
“I’m too excited! I went on a private jet and I ate constantly throughout the film – it was brilliant! I promise I will keep on enjoying it, because this is amazing.”
And addressing her spouse and their offspring, she said: “Ed and the kids, look! Yay!”

Sophie Ellis-Bextor gives birth

OHMYGOSSIP — Sophie Ellis-Bextor has given birth to her fifth child.
The ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ hitmaker and her husband Richard Jones – who already have Sonny, 14, Kit, nine, Ray, six, and Jesse, three, together – have added to their brood of boys with another son, who they have named Mickey.
Sophie shared a photo of Richard cradling the newborn on Instagram on Monday (07.01.19) and wrote: “He’s here! Mickey Jones born today weighing 7lb 1oz and he’s absolutely gorgeous.
“Welcome to our quirky little family, sweet boy. We’re so glad you’re here safe. Xxxxxxxxxxxx.”
The announcement of the new arrival came just a few hours after Sophie admitted she felt “ready” to welcome her baby into the world.
She posted a photo of herself cradling her huge bump and wrote on the photo-sharing app: “Ready for the next bit now (sic)”
Richard shared the same image on his Instagram page and wrote: “Looking so beautiful and ready to pop. Here we go again!”
The 39-year-old singer previously admitted she thinks her fifth child will be her last.
She said: “[My sons] are excited actually. I think they slightly roll their eyes, like, ‘Oh, another one’. I think I’ll probably call it a day. I think five is quite a lot.”
The British pop star announced her pregnancy news on Chris Evans’ BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show in August, describing the impending arrival of her fifth baby as “mental”.
During a chat about her new album, ‘The Song Diaries’, Sophie casually shared: “The album will come out around the same time as my fifth infant because I’m having my fifth baby. Mental!”
She added: “You get more relaxed with the chaos … says the woman who just … we just went away Richard and I with five kids, because our eldest brought a mate, and I took a book which seemed like the most optimistic thing I could have done!
“It didn’t even get open – that’s without baby.”

Spencer Matthews is seven years sober

OHMYGOSSIP — Spencer Matthews feels like “the best version” of himself since quitting booze.
The former ‘Made in Chelsea’ star took to Instagram on Monday (08.01.19) to mark his seventh month teetotal, and admitted being alcohol-free has allowed him to be “the best” husband to Vogue Williams – who he tied the knot with at an intimate ceremony in June 2018 at his family’s estate – and father to their four-month-old son Theodore.
The 30-year-old star also teased that he has a number of “amazing projects” in the pipeline.
Sharing a picture of himself by the pool, which showed off his ripped body, Spencer wrote: “Been sober 7 months now and cannot begin to explain the difference in my life… 2018 for me was a complete game changer and I now feel like the best version of myself. Happy, active, busy and focused.
Being the best husband to @voguewilliams and the best father to Theodore is priority number one and always will be.
Lots of amazing projects happening this year that I can’t wait to share with you all.
Onwards and upwards is the only way!! Much love x (sic)”
Meanwhile, Spencer and Vogue’s new show, ‘Spencer, Vogue and Baby Too’, which followed the couple as they prepared to become parents for the first time, debuted on E4 shortly after Spencer shared his sobriety post.
The couple first met whilst competing on ‘The Jump’ in 2017, and during the episode, Vogue poked fun at Spencer for being “more into himself” than she was during their time on the celebrity winter sports show.
She said: “Spencer was way more into me than I was him”, to which he replied: “Pretty sure I told you I loved you on our first date.”
The 32-year-old Irish presenter then quipped: “I went for the smaller man, never thought I would.”
They also revealed that they knew from the get-go that they were having a baby boy.
Spencer said of the birth: “I was like, ‘Is that the umbilical cord?’ She was like, ‘No, that’s his penis’, I was like, ‘Wow … kid’s packing!'”

Mariah Carey settles lawsuit

OHMYGOSSIP — Mariah Carey has settled a lawsuit with her former manager.
The 48-year-old singer was sued by Stella Bulochnikov last April, alleging she was owed millions of dollars, and though the ‘Fantasy’ hitmaker never responded to the lawsuit, the pair have now resolved their differences.
An attorney for Stella told the New York Post newspaper’s Page Six column: “The parties [have] reached a mutually agreed resolution to this matter.”
The attorney declined to say whether their client, who had sought unspecified damages, had received a cash settlement.
According to documents obtained by The Blast, Stella agreed to “discontinue this action against Mariah Carey with prejudice, with each party to bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs.”
Stella had previously said she was suing for breach of contract, violation of the U.S. Civil Rights Act, and a violation of the Fair Employment and Housing Act as she believed she was owed commissions on Mariah’s earnings, with sources claiming the figure was more than $100 million in three years.
Despite the dispute – which saw Stella accuse her former client of making her feel uncomfortable by frequently walking around naked – the manager and the ‘We Belong Together’ hitmaker had vowed to “continue to support” one another when they parted ways in November 2018.
They said in a joint statement at the time: “After working together for almost three years, Mariah Carey and Stella Bulochnikov have determined that it is in their mutual best interest to part ways on day-to-day management.
“During their time working together, they have accomplished great things, including, most recently, Mariah Carey’s new music and motion picture projects for this upcoming holiday season.
“Mariah Carey and Stella Bulochnikov remain partners in a number of business ventures, and will continue to support each other in those endeavours.”

Kevin Spacey stopped for speeding

OHMYGOSSIP — Kevin Spacey was pulled over for speeding on his way home from court on Monday (07.01.19).
The 59-year-old actor was leaving Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C. at around 5pm after returning from Massachusetts – where he had pleaded not guilty to sexually assaulting a man in 2016 – when he was stopped by cops for allegedly driving too fast.
According to TMZ – who obtained a video of the former ‘House of Cards’ star being asked for his license details after being pulled over – police didn’t give Spacey a ticket, but let him off with a verbal warning.
A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Washington Airport Authority later confirmed the disgraced actor had driven off “without further incident” after being stopped.
Earlier in the day, the ‘American Beauty’ actor had appeared in court for a nine-minute hearing, in which he pleaded not guilty to allegedly groping the son of a former TV news anchor in a bar in Nantucket in 2016.
Spacey – who was first accused of sexual misconduct in October 2017 by Anthony Rapp, prompting multiple accusations from other men – was ordered to stay away from and have no contact with the alleged victim or his family.
The court also ordered that cell phone data from the alleged victim’s phone from July 2016 to six months after the alleged incident be preserved, in order to be used as evidence.
Another hearing will now take place on March 4 and though the court has agreed to waive Spacey’s appearance, meaning he doesn’t need to be physically present at the court, he must be available by phone.
Spacey’s plea comes after he was accused in September by a male therapist of sexual battery, gender violence, battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress and false imprisonment, after an incident at the actor’s home in 2016.
The unnamed masseuse claimed he was taken to a room upstairs in Spacey’s home, where the actor told him he was having some discomfort in his groin area.
Although the man says he asked the ‘Baby Driver’ star to lie on his stomach, the actor allegedly laid on his back and grabbed the man’s hand, forcing it to massage his penis, scrotum and testicles.
Spacey was fired from Netflix drama ‘House of Cards’ over the previous sexual assault allegations made against him and replaced in the drama ‘All The Money In The World’.
In November 2017, he entered a treatment facility and has remained out of the public eye since.

Kris Jenner coyly responds to Kim Kardashian West’s baby news

OHMYGOSSIP — Kris Jenner is keeping tight-lipped regarding daughter Kim Kardashian West’s forthcoming addition to the family.
The 64-year-old matriarch is set to become a grandmother for the 10th time in May, as the 38-year-old reality star and her rapper husband Kanye West are expecting their fourth child – their second via surrogacy after daughter Chicago was born in January last year.
Kris was recently quizzed on their “expanding family”, but appears to be waiting for the couple to share their baby news.
When ‘Extra’ host Mark Wright asked: “It looks like [your family] is expanding, Kim and Kanye having another baby”, Kris replied: “Well … it’s always a full house!”
Kim, 38, and Kanye, 41, have “just recently” started to share their baby news with their family, and the ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star is said to be planning “some sort of shower” to celebrate.
An insider said recently: “They just recently began sharing the news with friends that they were having a fourth. They’ve been so busy with their three kids and the holidays they haven’t had a lot of time to do anything else.
“Kim will have some sort of shower to celebrate. It’s a different experience for Kim when she isn’t pregnant. But she’s happy she has been through this before and knows what to expect. She had such a positive experience the first time and is really thrilled to be able to do this again this way.”
Meanwhile, the couple – who also have North, five, and Saint, three, together – are starting to buy “everything” they need for their fourth child.
Despite already having three other children, sources say the pair are stocking up on new clothes and baby supplies, as they “don’t really do hand-me-downs”.
A source said: “They don’t really do hand-me-downs, so each baby is like their first. They’re buying everything they need for him, and Kanye insists they go top-of-the-line for everything. So they’ve been shopping.”

Jeremy Clarkson slams the BBC

OHMYGOSSIP — Jeremy Clarkson has slammed the BBC for “suffocating the life out of everything”.
The 58-year-old presenter – who worked for the broadcaster until he was sacked from ‘Top Gear’ in 2015 – accused the corporation with putting political correctness ahead of making fun or interesting programmes fir “everybody” to enjoy.
He told the Radio Times magazine: “If I ran the BBC, it would be better…I’d make programmes for everybody, not just seven people in Islington.
“It’s become so up itself, suffocating the life out of everything with its nonsense need to be politically correct.
“If they’d let everyone relax, and made a show that’s entertaining or interesting or informative or any of the things that the BBC is supposed to be, then we’d be having a different debate about the future of television.”
However, the ‘Grand Tour’ star insisted he has “very happy” memories of his time with the BBC but doesn’t want to see it ruined.
He added: “I had a very happy time at the BBC and I care very much about it.
I’d be sad if it got knackered by a few unwise Corbynites.”
Jeremy’s comments came a few days after he claimed there was no way he and his co-presenters James May and Richard Hammond would be hired to front another show together on the BBC because the broadcaster are keen to push women into key hosting roles.
He said: “We’re redundant. You couldn’t possibly get an all-male show across unless it was called My Actual Penis.
“If the programme was called ‘Me And My Penis’ then that would probably have to be hosted by men.
“But since there isn’t a programme called ‘Me And My Penis’ it’s going to be all women.”

Venom sequel hires writer

OHMYGOSSIP — A ‘Venom’ sequel is on the way.
Sony Pictures have reportedly rehired ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ screenwriter Kelly Marcel – who worked on the original antihero adventure – to pen a script for a second installment of the saga, with sources telling Variety they have paid out a “significant” sum for her services.
Kelly will also executive produce the sequel, which will see Tom Hardy return as the titular symbiote/Eddie Brock, along with Michelle Williams as Anne Weying and Woody Harrelson as Carnage.
A director hasn’t been hired yet, and sources told the outlet the studio may look for a new filmmaker as ‘Venom’ helmsman Reuben Fleishcer is busy working on a ‘Zombieland’ sequel.
The news comes after Sony recently revealed an untitled Marvel sequel would be released in October 2020, sparking speculation it would be a follow-up to ‘Venom’, which was released in the same month last year.
Tom previously revealed he’d love to be a part of a ‘Venom’ franchise for “several years”.
Speaking before the movie had hit cinema screens, he said: “We went into this hoping to build it, and I went into it hoping to do something for the next several years and I can invest myself in.
“But we have to launch it and see how people feel about it, and if they don’t like it, we’ll see, but I don’t think they will. I have a really good feeling about it. I know the whole team has poured a lot of love into it, and I’ve really enjoyed it. I’ve left a lot of stuff out there and I did a lot of improvisation in it that will never make it to the movie.”
The movie was a box office sensation on release, grossing over $850 million worldwide on a $100 million budget.
Venom is one of several enemies of ‘Spider-Man’ – and the character first appeared on the big screen in ‘Spider-Man 3’, which was also created by Sony.

Dave Bautista joins Dune reboot

OHMYGOSSIP — Dave Bautista has joined the ‘Dune’ reboot.
The 49-year-old actor-and-wrestler is set to appear in the sci-fi movie adaption of Frank Herbert’s classic novel, which will be directed by Denis Villeneuve, who he worked with on 2017’s ‘Blade Runner 2049’.
According to Variety, it’s not currently known what role the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ star will take on.
The ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ star joins Timothee Chalamet as lead character Paul Atreides and Rebecca Ferguson as Lady Jessica.
Atreides leads a rebellion to restore his family’s reign of desert planet Arrakis after they are betrayed, and Ferguson plays Atreides’ mother.
Villeneuve, Mary Parent, and Cale Boyter will produce the project, and Brian Herbert, Byron Merritt, Thomas Tull, and Kim Herbert will executive produce.
Legendary acquired the film and TV rights in 2016 after signing a deal with Herbert’s estate for his iconic tome.
The original 1984 movie featured Francesca Annis as Jessica, and Kyle MacLachlan played Paul, and Sir Patrick Stewart and Sting also appeared in the film, which was directed by David Lynch.
Villeneuve previously admitted ‘Dune’ is his “dream project”.
He said: “Once I commit, I commit. When Legendary offered me to do ‘Dune’, on a silver plate? Which was like my dream project that I’m dreaming to do for 30 years?
“I said yes right away.”
Meanwhile, the 51-year-old filmmaker previously revealed he turned down helming Bond 25 to work on ‘Dune’.
He had been one the names touted to direct the final 007 movie starring Daniel Craig, but said no to the spy blockbuster because he was “busy” getting ready to fulfill his dream to remake the sci-fi epic.
He said: “The thing is I don’t know about that but listen, Daniel Craig is a very inspiring actor and I had some contact and the thing is that I’m busy right now doing ‘Dune’.
“But, I will say to have the privilege to work with him it would be a dream. I would love to work with Daniel and a Bond movie for me would be a treat. It’s a matter of timing, I guess.”

Shawn Mendes to give latest album songs live debut on tour

OHMYGOSSIP — Shawn Mendes is set to perform songs from his self-titled album live for the first time on his 2019 tour.
The ‘In My Blood’ hitmaker took to Twitter on Monday (07.01.19) to apologise for his absence from social media, which was due to suffering from the flu, but surprised his fans with a list of the tracks from last year’s record, which was released back in May, which he’s going to add to his setlist, including ‘Mutual’, ‘Why’ and ‘Particular Taste’.
In a series of tweets, he wrote: “Dying to get back on tour and play this album for you guys!!!!!!!!! I cant believe I haven’t even played most of these songs live yet! (sic)”
Listing the songs, he added: “Mutual! Why! Particular taste! Etc t etc!!!!! (sic)”
And on why he hadn’t posted in a while, he quipped: “Also sorry I haven’t been active I’ve been fighting off a crazy flu! I have been watching you though lol (sic)”
The 20-year-old Canadian singer/songwriter kicks off his world tour at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome on March 7.
Meanwhile, Shawn recently revealed his pal Taylor Swift taught him to overcome his stage nerves.
The ‘Stitches’ singer used to get terrified every time he stepped up onto the stage but thanks to the kind words of the ‘End Game’ singer, he learned that he didn’t have to worry about making every performance perfect and instead just focus on having fun.
He said: “She said to me one day, ‘Are you nervous?’ and, I got nervous just because she’s Taylor Swift.
“My face would get red every time! I said, ‘Yes, I just don’t want to mess up.’
“She goes, ‘Everybody in the audience is there to have fun and support you.
“Nobody is there to judge. It’s not a TV show where they’re judging you.’
“From that moment, I really learned what it means to be a performer and it wasn’t about being perfect – it was about enjoying it.
“Because you watch someone on stage and whatever they’re doing, if they’re really enjoying themselves, so are you.
“She went onstage every night to have fun, to enjoy and to be in happiness because that’s what the live show is about.
“It wasn’t about being perfect.
“She’s perfect anyway, but that was the biggest thing I learned from her.”

Justin Timberlake glad to be back

OHMYGOSSIP — Justin Timberlake is delighted to be back on stage.
The 37-year-old singer postponed a number of concerts on his ‘Man of the Woods’ tour between October and December due to bruised vocal chords, but he returned to the stage over the weekend and admitted it “felt good” to be in front of a crowd again.
He shared a series of photos of himself onstage and behind the scenes at the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. and wrote on Instagram: “Feels good to be back.(sic)”
Last week, the ‘Can’t Stop the Feeling’ hitmaker admitted he was excited about getting back on the road.
In a video posted to Instagram, he said: “First of all, Happy New Year. Hope everybody had a good holiday. Second of all, DC we here. We’re back. Can’t wait. Excited, ya’ll ready? (sic)”
After postponing his October shows at New York’s Madison Square Garden as well as a scheduled date at the Los Angeles Staples Centre in November, the ‘Say Something’ singer was forced to push back all his December tour dates.
Justin – who had been on the road since March – told fans at the time: “Hey guys, I’m sure you have heard that I’ve had to postpone several tour dates due to bruised vocal cords. My vocal cords are healing, but they are not all the way back to normal yet, so my doctors want me to continue to rest my voice. They have asked me to hold off on singing until next month.
“I’m really sorry, I want to be back on stage and I am doing all I can to get there quickly. Thank you for understanding – I see all of your posts and I appreciate the support. I look forward to coming back stronger than I was before. More to come on the rescheduled dates.”

Chris Rock doesn’t want Oscars job

OHMYGOSSIP — Chris Rock has ruled himself out of hosting the Oscars again.
The 53-year-old comic – who previously fronted the Academy Awards in 2005 and 2016 – insisted he has no desire to step in and anchor Hollywood’s biggest night, which is currently without a lead presenter following Kevin Hart’s departure last month following an outcry over previous homophobic comments.
Instead, Chris thinks Steve Martin – who has previously hosted the Oscars three times, most recently with Alec Baldwin in 2010 – should return to the helm once again.
Spotting the ‘Father of the Bride’ star in the crowd at the New York Film Critics Circle awards dinner at Tao Downtown in Manhattan on Monday (07.01.19), Chris exclaimed: “Steve Martin, you should host the Oscars! You were the best. I’m not doing that s**t! You’re not getting me.”
Kevin recently insisted he has no plans to step back into the hosting role, despite talk show host Ellen DeGeneres telling him she phoned the Academy and asked for him to be reinstated.
He said: “I don’t have time to prepare and do it correctly.”
The presenter had told him when he appeared on her eponymous show last week that she had received a positive response to her call.
She said on the show: “I called the Academy today because I really want you to host the Oscars.
“The Academy is saying what can we do to make this happen.”
Recalling what the Academy told her, she said: “We want him to host, whatever we can do, we’d be thrilled.”
The 39-year-old star – who has 13-month-old Kenzo with wife Eniko Parrish and Hendrix, 13, and 11-year-old Heaven with ex-wife Torrei Hart – initially promised to reconsider his decision, before later reaffirming his decision to step down.
He told Ellen: “You have put a lot of things on my mind.
“Leaving here, I’m promising you I’m evaluating this conversation. This is a conversation I needed to have. “I’m glad that I had it here. And I’m glad that it was as authentic and real as I could have hoped that it would be.
“Let me assess, just to sit in the space and really think and you and I will talk before anything else.That’s my plan.”

Tom Welling is a dad

OHMYGOSSIP — Tom Welling has become a father for the first time.
The ‘Smallville’ actor and his fiancée Jessica Rose Lee welcomed their son Thomson Wylde into the world in the early hours of Saturday (05.01.19) morning and couldn’t be happier.
Jessica shared a photo of the tot on her Instagram account on Monday (07.01.19) and wrote: “Thomson Wylde Welling January 5, 2019 12:31am 8lbs 8oz of pure LOVE (sic)”
The blonde beauty hinted her baby’s arrival was imminent on January 3.
She shared a picture of herself cradling her bump and captioned it: “It’s all happening.”
The couple revealed they were expecting a baby back in September in a post shared of Jessica’s social media accounts.
As the pair cradled her stomach in the photo, she wrote: “New life in the new year.”
The couple have been dating for several years and in February last year, Jessica revealed she was engaged to the 41-year-old actor.
She wrote at the time: “To my perfect fiancé – I love you to infinity and beyond. Thank you for all of your unwavering support and super-human love. I am so blessed to have you in my life.”
The ‘Lucifer’ actor was previously married to model Jamie White, who he tied the knot with in 2002 but they split in 2013.
Their divorce was finalised in 2015 with an unusual settlement that saw Tom agree to award 20 percent of his net professional income to Jamie up until $5 million, and everything beyond that was his to keep.

Hulk Hogan pays tribute to Gene Okerlund on emotional Raw return

OHMYGOSSIP — Hulk Hogan paid tribute to the late ‘Mean’ Gene Okerlund as he returned to ‘Monday Night Raw’.
The WWE Hall of Famer – who inducted his close friend into the prestigious wing in 2006 – hasn’t appeared on the company’s flagship show in almost four years, and he made his comeback to pay respects to the legendary interviewer days after his death.
After a 10 bell salute and video tribute to the star – who sadly died aged 76 last Wednesday (02.01.19) – Hogan said: “Let me tell you something, brother! You know something guys, I came out here wide open tonight, in character, because that’s exactly the way ‘Mean’ Gene would’ve wanted it.
“I want to let all you guys know, ‘Mean’ Gene loved entertaining – and he loved entertaining everybody here in the WWE Universe. ‘Mean’ Gene loved entertaining more than anything that he ever did.
“You know guys, I gotta tell ya, being out here in the ring without ‘Mean’ Gene, you know… he’s not here, but he is right here [in my heart], he’s right here, man. I love you ‘Mean’ Gene. I miss you.”
The crowd chanted “Thank you ‘Mean’ Gene”, before Hulk – whose real name is Terry Bollea – launched into a classic promo referencing many of the legends who have passed away over the years.
He said: “Well let me tell you something ‘Mean’ Gene. I know exactly what you’re doing, brother! You’re up there, and all those angels are singing ‘Tutti Frutti’ on top of those big, white clouds!
“I know that you’re putting the greatest tag match together, brother! The tag match between the ‘Macho Man’ – Oooh yeah! – Randy Savage and the Ultimate Warrior versus ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper and Mr. Perfect.
“And I also know that Andre the Giant is the special referee, brother. And I also know you’re probably breaking up a fight between your close personal friends Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby ‘The Brain’ Heenan.”
Hulk – who last appeared on ‘Raw’ in March 2015 but returned to WWE at the ‘Crown Jewel’ event in November last year – appeared choked up, but delivered a classic line as a final tribute to his friend.
He concluded: “So ‘Mean’ Gene, I guess there’s just one question left to ask. All the Maniacs up there brother – what ya gonna do when ‘Mean’ Gene-o-mania runs wild on you, brother?”
