Macaulay Culkin legally changing middle name to Macaulay Culkin

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Home Alone’ star Macaulay Culkin is legally changing his middle name.
The 38-year-old actor recently decided that he needed to “spruce up” his name a little after deciding his current middle moniker Carson was “very Irish” so he gave fans the opportunity to vote on a new one for him and they chose Macaulay Culkin.
The star will now officially be known as Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin after it won the public vote.
He tweeted: “Merry Christmas to me, from all of you! My new middle name has been chosen. You voted and the winner is clear. In 2019 my new legal name will be: Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin. It has a nice ring to it (if you like my name).#MerryChristmas (sic).”
Over 60,000 people voted in the poll to choose a new name for the former child star.
Explaining why he chose to change his name, Culkin recently said: “I was staring at my passport recently and I was looking over my middle name. My current middle name is Carson. It’s very Irish. And I thought, I should probably spruce up my name a little bit. You can vote on my new middle name; we’ve narrowed it down to five options.”
The five possible names to choose from were; Macaulay Culkin, Shark Week, TheMcRibIsBack – a nod to limited edition McDonald’s pork sandwich – Publicity Stunt, which was suggested by his girlfriend Brenda Song, and Kieran, which was put forward by his brother who shares the same name.
Revealing why his full name was on the list, Macaulay previously explained: “So if somebody comes up to me at the airport and says, ‘Excuse me, are you Macaulay Culkin?’ I go, ‘Well, Macaulay Culkin is my middle name.’ ”

Leonardo DiCaprio lists starter LA home for 1.3m

OHMYGOSSIP — Leonardo DiCaprio is selling his Los Angeles home for £1.3 million.
The 44-year-old actor bought the Spanish-style property in Silver Lake 19 years ago for £608,000 after he shot to fame with ‘Titanic’ and now he is set to receive double what he originally paid.
The multi-level home has four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms and comes with an elevator, pool and a fountain.
Leonardo has previously sold properties in Malibu and Studio City and recently purchased Moby’s old home, which is next door to his own Los Feliz residence.
Meanwhile, it was recently claimed that Leonardo is “very serious” about his currently relationship with model Camila Morrone.
The actor – who has dated various stars over the years, including Gisele Bundchen and Bar Refaeli – feels that his romance with the 21-year-old model is “different” to many of his previous relationships.
Of their burgeoning romance, a source explained: “He’s more mature and thinking longer term.”
Although marriage is “definitely not a discussion yet”, the duo are said to be “content” with how their relationship is developing.
Another insider explained: “He is very serious with Cami and has been for a while now, but marriage is not something that is on the horizon.”
Leonardo is also conscious that Camila is “young and in a different space in life”.
As a result, the Hollywood star is trying not to look too far ahead with their romance.
The source added: “He’s happy with where things are and is committed to her. He’s not thinking too far beyond that.”

Angelina Jolie’s social media fears for children

OHMYGOSSIP — Angelina Jolie is worried about her children using social media.
The 43-year-old actress has children Maddox, 17, Pax, 15, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12 and twins Vivienne and Knox, 10, with her former husband Brad Pitt and she admitted that like “most parents” she has little control over what her children are exposed to online.
In an interview for BBC Radio 4’s ‘Today’, which she guest edited, Angelina said: “There are certain realities to teenagers and also our generation doesn’t understand half of what they are doing with their tech so they can get around us pretty easy.”
Angelina’s comments come just weeks after fake Instagram accounts in Maddox and Pax’s names posted messages purporting to wish their father Brad Pitt a happy 55th birthday.
A source told Gossip Cop: “The kids don’t have Instagram accounts. Those are all fan accounts that those reports are referencing.”
Meanwhile, Brad and Angelina – who split in 2016 – finally reached an agreement over their divorce and custody terms last month.
Samantha Bley DeJean, Angelina’s attorney, said: “A custody arrangement was agreed and has been signed by both parties and the judge.
“The agreement, which is based on the recommendations of the child custody evaluator, eliminates the need for a trial. The filing and details of the agreement are confidential to protect the best interests of the children.”
Angelina is reportedly “pleased to be entering the next stage and relieved at the progress for the health of their family”.
The Hollywood duo were previously said to have agreed to try to reach a swift conclusion to the issue, acknowledging that they wanted to avoid the pain of a lengthy court battle.
Angelina had originally wanted sole custody of the kids and is said to have fought for the ‘World War Z’ actor to get “minimal” time with his brood, but they now appear to have reached an amicable agreement.
Earlier this year, Angelina – who married Brad in 2014 – was ordered by a judge to allow her children to spend more time with their father, or risk losing custody.
The judge told her at the time: “If the minor children remain closed down to their father and depending on the circumstances surrounding this condition, it may result in a reduction of the time they spend with [Jolie] and may result in the Court ordering primary physical custody to [Pitt].”

Keira Knightley’s breakdown helped her cope with motherhood

OHMYGOSSIP — Keira Knightley’s breakdown helped her cope with motherhood.
The 33-year-old actress has admitted that she struggled to cope with being a new mother at first when she welcomed her daughter Edie with husband James Righton in 2015 but believes that suffering a breakdown at the age of 22, when she first found fame, and the resulting therapy, helped her to deal with it.
She told The Guardian: “Your body just created life and now it’s shifting in order to feed it. That’s monumental and we’re all expected to go: ‘Oh no, all good, I’m groovy – I haven’t slept, I’m fine. That I’m able to forgive myself for not being brilliant [as a parent] every f**king day is probably because of that breakdown.”
‘Colette’ actress Keira also hit out at how women are portrayed in society, saying that they are forced to be “sexy” or a “virgin-mother”.
She said: “Before motherhood, you’re sexy, but if we talk about the whole vagina-splitting thing then that’s terrifying; there’s no sex there, so what we do is go into the virgin-mother retrofit, that’s nice and safe. The problem with those two images is I think very few women actually identify with them. Women are meant to play the flirt or the mother in order to get their voice heard. I can’t. It makes me feel sick.
“They tell me what it is to be a woman. Be nice, be supportive, be pretty but not too pretty, be thin but not too thin, be sexy but not too sexy, be successful but not too successful. … But I don’t want to flirt and mother them, flirt and mother, flirt and mother. I don’t want to flirt with you because I don’t want to f**k you, and I don’t want to mother you because I am not your mother. … I just want to work, mate. Is that OK? Talk and be heard, be talked to and listen. Male ego. Stop getting in the way.”

The Rock paid 13m more than Jungle Cruise co-star Emily Blunt

OHMYGOSSIP — Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson was paid $13 million more than Emily Blunt for ‘Jungle Cruise’.
The pair star in Disney’s new family adventure movie – based on the popular theme park attraction of the same name – which is set for release in 2020 but Johnson has been paid more than twice Emily’s $9 million fee.
According to TMZ, Dwayne has pocketed $22 million for the flick, which also stars Jack Whitehall.
‘Jungle Cruise’ follows Johnson’s Captain Frank, who takes scientist Lily Houghton (Blunt) and her brother, played by Whitehall, into a mysterious jungle to find a tree with healing properties.
The cast also includes Edgar Ramirez, Jesse Plemons, Paul Giamatti, Andy Nyman, Quim Gutierrez, Veronica Falcon and Dani Rovira and the movie has been directed by Jaume Collet-Serra.
Meanwhile, Emily, 35, is currently wowing audiences in ‘Mary Poppins Returns’ and recently opened up about the circumstances surrounding her casting in the movie, admitting it was a career-changing moment.
She recalled: “It was like [director Rob Marshall] was about to propose to me! Then when he said it’s Mary Poppins, I was like, ‘Oh my God’.
“I like to imagine he got down on one knee. But Mary Poppins is a big deal for all of us – we all had to approach it with a sense of courage.
“We have waited 54 years to see her come back out of the clouds so we very much wanted to walk that fine line between paying homage and being the next chapter and bringing the spirit of the first one.
“We had to think how we make our version our own and a standalone spectacle on its own, that people can watch for generations to come.”
Emily was intent on making her version of the iconic nanny distinct from Dame Julie Andrews’ performance in 1964’s ‘Mary Poppins’.
Dick Van Dyke – who starred in the original movie – makes a cameo appearance in ‘Mary Poppins Returns’, but Andrews declined the chance to appear in the film.
Emily explained: “I really understand why she didn’t want to be in it and it means a lot to me that she chose to not do it in the way that she did.
“She said she just didn’t want it to be her show, she wanted it to be my show, and I thought it was so gracious and so sweet and I understand that need to preserve and treasure that iconic image we all have of her. I really get that.”

There’s no greater adventure than welcoming a sixth little person to our tribe … We’ll definitely have a little bit of quiet time when the baby’s born, thankfully, but the life train will continue to move quickly so we’ll be excited to introduce them to this family they’re entering, which is pretty much on the move all the time.”

Emma Stone OK with not being liked

OHMYGOSSIP — Emma Stone has learned to be OK with not everyone “liking her”.
The ‘La La Land’ star admits she used to “fall over herself” to impress people and get them to like her but she has now realised that some are just “unwinnable”.
She told the February 2019 issue of British Vogue magazine: “It’s OK if not everybody likes you. And that doesn’t make it more appealing to convince them of why you are likeable. It’s interesting, you saying about the public persona of my ‘charm’ or whatever. Part of that is my damage, you know. Part of that is my flaw … so that was a major lesson, not falling over myself to win over the unwinnable … nobody knows what they’re doing! We’re all just a bunch of people trying to figure out how to get through the day.”
Meanwhile, Emma previously revealed turning 30 has helped her look back on her life in a clearer way, as well as figuring out what she wants from the future.
She explained: “My twenties were a really interesting time, and there’s been a lot that has happened in these past 10 years, both positive and not as positive. It’s weird how much turning 30 crystallises your life. Instead of just living the dreams that I had in my youth and getting to do the job that I love to do and making friends and going through all of that, it’s like, now what do I actively want as an adult?”

Jennifer Hudson’s shoe-throwing The Voice compliment

OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Hudson throws shoes at ‘The Voice’ contestants when she is impressed by them.
The 37-year-old singer uses the unusual technique to praise a wannabe when they have put in a strong performance, and she has hinted there is some tough competition on next year’s series, because she has launched plenty of her footwear while filming the programme.
She said: “I’ve thrown quite a few shoes! It’s just I really don’t know how to define it … it’s a compliment, though.
“It means you are singing so well I’m gonna throw my shoe at you.”
While Jennifer hasn’t divulged where she got the idea from, she insists throwing her shoe at a singer is the “highest compliment” she can give anyone.
She said: “It’s the highest compliment is all I can say.
“I kind of want to hit them but as they’re so far away the next best thing is I’m going to grab my shoe and let them know.”
Jennifer’s comments come 15 months after she had her first footwear chucked at her while she was on stage performing in Boston, and she could barely finish her song afterwards.
She wrote on Instagram: “I told my crew I said lord people r going to start throwing shoes at me after @nbcthevoice and yal that just what happened tonight ! I got my first shoe thrown at me tonight ! lol I could barely finish my song after this guy got done ! Lol to much ! I love it !! #boston (sic)”

John Cena loves meeting people on his travels

OHMYGOSSIP — John Cena loves getting to meet people on his travels.
The ‘Bumblebee’ star has been around the world this year both promoting the new ‘Transformers’ prequel and through his work with WWE, and he posted a reflective tweet looking back “over the years”.
He wrote: “I am grateful to have met and continue to meet so many amazing people thru travels. Thank you to all I’ve had the pleasure to connect with over the years, and to those I haven’t met yet… I look forward to listening and learning.”
Meanwhile, the 41-year-old professional wrestler and actor recently revealed that ditching his trademark buzzcut for a new hairstyle “caused a tidal wave of emotional upheaval” amongst his fans.
He said: “I’ve been playing a character on WWE for 15 years now and I’ve looked the exact same. I left to go to China for six months and I came back with [this haircut].
“Literally, it’s caused a tidal wave of emotional upheaval. I’ve literally ruined people’s childhoods. Every day, I know you do mean tweets, every day it’s a barrage of, ‘Change back, you look ridiculous. You ruined my life.’ ”
John will be returning to WWE this week, but insists he won’t shave his head for the appearance as he can’t wait to see wrestling fans “raise hell” over his ‘do.
Asked if he would cut his hair before returning to WWE, the ‘Bumblebee’ star added: “No. The thing I like about the WWE is they are very vocal and excited. When I go to Madison Square Garden, looking like an accountant. They are going to raise hell. It’s going to be great.”
Meanwhile, John recently claimed it is “totally uncomfortable” to have longer hair after being used to short locks for so long, so the new style might not stick around for very long.
He said: It’s totally uncomfortable [to have hair]. I just want to go get my $8 haircut and now I’m throwing product in my head, I don’t know what I’m doing. It’s awesome, it’s great.”

Jeff Brazier reveals Christmas tribute to Jade Goody

OHMYGOSSIP — Jeff Brazier says Christmas is all about Jade Goody for him and his sons.
Jade passed away in 2009 at the age of 27 after being diagnosed with cervical cancer and Jeff, who raises their sons Bobby, 15 and 14-year-old Freddie, has revealed that it took them some time to figure out how to handle Christmas without her.
In a video on Twitter, he explained: “It took two Christmas’ to work out that it didn’t matter how many presents we had under the tree.
“If we didn’t recognise their loss then it felt like there was an elephant in the room.
“We make the day about the loss first and foremost, their mum, and make it about the occasion secondary to that.
“My children want to celebrate Christmas but it’s just different. But it’s OK that it’s different.”
Jeff also praised Jade for how special she made Christmas for the boys when she was alive.
He said: “I was never as good at Christmas as Jade was.
“She went to extreme measures, she made fake footprints in the snow. It’s not something I would go to that length to do because I’m not as creative as Jade was.”
And Jeff revealed that although Jade has been dead for almost 10 years, the grief is still raw for their sons.
He said: “You might think 10 years later it’s surely going to be calming down a bit and they’ll be used to it and it’ll cause them less pain.
“But the truth is they’re going through teenage changes.
“You know you love your children. But what happens when the unknown starts to present itself? What do you do when they’re crying for their mum?
“What do you do when they’re being naughty because they’re upset about losing their mum?”
Jeff tied the knot with his long-term partner Kate Dwyer in September and he previously praised the PR director for bringing “stability” to his life and that of his two sons.
He said: “I’m so happy to marry Kate, who has brought so much stability to my life. This isn’t just any wedding, this is a really special one. It doesn’t just represent Kate and I putting rings on each other’s fingers. It represents the fact that we won at something really tricky. We won at becoming a family.”
And Jeff praised Kate for making his family “complete” and helping his sons feel like they belong.
He added: “Before it was just three boys rattling around in a house on our own, trying to get through life. Then Kate came along and worked so hard at making us complete. She hasn’t just completed one person, she’s completed a family and given three boys a real sense of belonging.”
Bobby and Freddy were joint best men at the ceremony at the luxurious Tivoli Carvoeiro resort in Portugal.

Beverley Callard wants Liz McDonald to have more comedy in 2019

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Coronation Street’ star Beverley Callard wants her character Liz McDonald to have more comedic storylines in 2019.
The 61-year-old actress has called for her character to have a more light-hearted outlook next year – although she “doesn’t know” if that’ll be the case after Liz’s ex-husband Jim McDonald and his girlfriend fooled Liz into thinking her dead daughter had returned in order to dupe her out of money.
She told the Radio Times: “It would be quite nice to have a bit of comedy soon, hopefully. But I don’t know whether that’s going to be the case, I don’t know.
“Because obviously you can imagine when they said, ‘Actually, your dead daughter returns’, we’re thinking, ‘What? Well, I’m not sure about this.'”
Although the soap star was sceptical about the extreme storyline, she admitted that the way the script was written was “brilliant” and confessed she “laughs all the time” on set.
Beverley explained: “I think the way they wrote it, and the twist, was just brilliant, because at first I just thought, ‘She comes back to life, or she was swapped at death, what is this about?’
“But I thought it was really good for me having Charlie [Lawson] back. And Hannah [Ellis Ryan], who played Hannah, she was just as bad a giggler as I am.
“In fact, one of the floor managers said her favourite bunch of cast are the McDonalds ‘cos they just laugh all the time, but of course when you look at it on screen, you would never know that for a second.
“But it would be good to get a little bit of levity, I think. Yeah, I would like that.”

Lily James needs to have breaks

OHMYGOSSIP — Lily James has learned when to take breaks to “let go” of her characters.
The ‘Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again’ actress likes to fully immerse herself in her work but she’s understood the dangers of “holding and never really shedding”.
She said: “My problem is that I want to make the most of this moment, I want to be in the now, I want to enjoy it to the full.
“You need a moment to let go of characters and people that you work with and different places you’ve lived. [It’s a lot to] be always holding and never really shedding.”
The 29-year-old actress believes there’s been a big shift in Hollywood since the rise of the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements and she is keen to work more with women in positions of power.
She said: “Something has shifted. Now I feel like a natural step on from this is making sure that there are more women in power.
“I want to work with more women, female directors and directors of photography, to be surrounded more equally by women and men.”
The ‘Darkest Hour’ actress loves the “extremes” that come with her career.
Explaining what draws her to acting, she said: “I think that’s why I like it, I like that emotional journey. The ability to fall into something and go to the extremes.”

Timothee Chalamet’s weight was watched

OHMYGOSSIP — Timothee Chalamet had to be told to stop losing weight for his role in ‘Beautiful Boy’.
The 22-year-old actor plays drug addict Nic Sheff in the biopic and shed 20lbs for scenes when his alter ego hit his lowest point but movie bosses were worried he was “pushing” himself further than he needed to.
Explaining the weight loss scenes were shot first to allow the actor to return to his regular size for the happier moments, director Felix Van Groenigen said: “It helped him physically feel it and hit some sort of rock bottom.
“I mean, he was very closely followed but at some point, we had a feeling he was pushing it further than we wanted, because he was so committed to it.
“We did have to say at some point, ‘Timmy, stop. It’s great. We don’t want you to go into a dangerous place.’ ”
Timothee stars opposite Steve Carrell as his on-screen father in the movie and they struck up a bond instantly.
Steve said: “We just naturally became friends. There weren’t any exercises that we needed to go through in order to generate that affection. I think we had it almost instantly.”
Timothee agreed: “Yeah, I feel the same way. I felt very… just taken in.
“I felt a strong warmth from Steve and from Felix, our director, and then the scenes with Amy Ryan and Maura Tierney as well.
“I felt a very paternal quality coming from them.”
While Steve had already been cast before his screen son, the ‘Call Me By Your Name’ actor wowed the director with his audition tape.
Felix told Total Film magazine: “We did auditions and saw a lot of tapes coming in. And at some point we saw an audition of a young actor, not very well-known – Timothee Chalamet.
“You know, he blew us away with his bold and fearless energy and how he could switch between a person completely strung out on drugs and also be this very intriguing teenager trying to find a bond with his dad.
“So at some point, we put them in the room together to do a chemistry read and I just felt it – they connected.”

Emma Willis admits ‘reality is kicking in’ after Big Brother was axed

OHMYGOSSIP — Emma Willis admits “reality is kicking in” after ‘Big Brother’ was cancelled earlier this year.
The 42-year-old TV presenter has confessed that she doesn’t have any projects in the works after Channel 5 axed the reality show and its spin-off show ‘Bit on the Side’, which was hosted by Rylan Clark-Neal.
Emma told The Sun newspaper: “Reality is kind of kicking in now. I read interviews with some people who say, ‘Oh, I’m in talks for something, but I can’t say anything,’ and I think, ‘Why don’t you just say no?!’
“So no, there’s nothing. I like to be busy, and it’s a long period of time that I don’t have anything booked in for right now – three months over the summer.”
Emma subsequently explained that she was informed of the show being dropped just hours before the new series began and insisted it was impossible to “not feel sad”.
She said: “How am I meant not to feel sad, walking out and trying to host a show I love, knowing that it’s done?
“They could’ve done it a week before so that we all had time to take it in, or a week after so it could bed in.”
Emma added that she and fellow host Rylan experienced mixed emotions throughout the process, adding that the programme’s celebrity version “had more life in it”.
She shared: “Through the series I went from being really angry to really sad, and Rylan went from sad to really angry, so we swapped emotions.
“I just thought there was more life in it, especially the celeb one, which was appointment to view.”

The Queen’s Christmas broadcast will encourage ‘respect’

OHMYGOSSIP — The Queen’s Christmas broadcast will encourage “respect” amid “deeply-held differences”.
The 92-year-old Monarch recorded her annual speech in Buckingham Palace’s white drawing room earlier this month, saying that goodwill is “needed as much as ever”.
The Queen will say: “I believe his message of peace on earth and goodwill to all is never out of date. It can be heeded by everyone; it’s needed as much as ever.”
The royal will also highlight the importance of people uniting – even if they have dramatically different opinions and beliefs.
She will say: “Even with the most deeply held differences, treating the other person with respect and as a fellow human being is always a good first step towards greater understanding.”
What’s more, in the address, the Queen will highlight the importance of her loved ones around her and emphasise her strong Christian beliefs.
She will say: “Through the many changes I have seen over the years, faith, family and friendship have been not only a constant for me but a source of personal comfort and reassurance.”
The message – which is written by the Queen – will reflect on current issues and draws on her own experiences over the past year, such as England reaching the soccer World Cup semi-finals, as well as the royal weddings of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank.
