Anne-Marie laughs off cravings during juice detox attempt

By

-

OHMYGOSSIP — Anne-Marie came close to failing her festive juice detox several times as she hilariously listed all of her food cravings.
The ‘Rewrite The Stars’ singer took to Twitter to confess to succumbing to buying crisps and pasta and revealed she started “staring at crumpets” and “sniffing peanut butter” whilst trying to be healthy and only consume a liquid diet.
Laughing off her attempt to be healthier in a series of tweets posted on Thursday (28.12.18), the pop star wrote: “Juice detox update: I want korma … Juice detox update : I’ve been staring at crumpets and sniffing peanut butter for 30 minutes … Juice detox update: gone to Tesco, bought pasta and crisps … Prawn cocktail walkers (sic)”
The detox started off well, with the 27-year-old star buying an abundance of fruit and veg for her juices.
She captioned a video: “Trying out the juice detox”, along with the closed eyes laughing emoji.
But less than 24 hours in, it’s already proving challenging for the ‘Friends’ hitmaker.
Meanwhile, the British star recently admitted her love for karate has helped her achieve stardom.
The ‘Perfect To Me’ hitmaker thinks her love for the sport helped her “focus” on her goals in the music industry and helped her to get back up after every knock back.
She said: “Without karate, I don’t think I’d be able to do this. It really helped with focus and being able to keep going at something, even when you get beaten. Obviously, ‘beaten’ has a completely different meaning in karate! But, either way, you have to get up and carry on going and I wouldn’t have had that attitude if I didn’t do karate. It’s helped so much.”

Angelina Jolie hints at political aspirations

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Angelina Jolie has hinted at making a move into politics.
The Academy Award-winning actress has been outspoken on a number of issues – such as refugees and sexual violence – over recent years, and Angelina has now suggested she may be interested in a future in politics.
During an appearance on the BBC’s ‘Today’ show, Angelina was asked whether she would consider getting involved in politics, and she replied: “If you asked me 20 years ago, I would’ve laughed … I always say I’ll go where I’m needed, I don’t know if I’m fit for politics … but then I’ve also joked that I don’t know if I have a skeleton left in my closet.”
Angelina, 43, is already a special envoy to the UN Refugee Agency.
And the actress explained that through the work she’s already done, she has developed a good insight into a wide range of important issues.
She shared: “I’m also able to work with governments and I’m also able to work with militaries, and so I sit in a very interesting place of being able to get a lot done.”
In 2005, Angeline rubbished talk of a potential move into politics, saying at the time that she had “way too many skeletons” in her closet.
But the Hollywood star – who was married to Brad Pitt from 2014 until 2016 – seemed more open to the idea in 2014.
She said: “I wonder if by now if my skeletons are out. They’re probably all out.
“You know, if I thought I’d be effective, I would. But I’m not sure if I would ever be taken seriously in that way, and be able to be effective.”

Rosamund Pike wants to support females on set

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Rosamund Pike wants to be a “touchstone” for younger women on set.
The 39-year-old actress used to feel like an “imposter” in the early days of her career and thinks it’s important to remember how she felt back then so she doesn’t assume her less experienced co-stars are as confident as they appear.
Asked how the #MeToo movement has affected her, she said: “What I’m most conscious of is making sure I’m a touchstone for younger women on set.
“Sometimes – especially as a girl, I think – you can seem a lot more together than you feel.
“It’s important for me now to look at these young women who appear really sure of themselves and remember that they’re probably not. When I was 21 and doing a Bond film [‘Die Another Day’ in 2002], I looked calm and confident but I didn’t feel it. I always felt wrong, that somehow I was an imposter.”
The ‘A Private War’ actress doesn’t like thinking or speaking about money but she thinks the recent changes in Hollywood have brought more parity between men and women and she thinks high-paid females should “embrace” their status.
She told Britain’s Marie Claire magazine: “I was just thinking about Christiane Amanpour cited everywhere she went as being the highest paid woman in TV.
“At one time, a woman might have felt embarrassed about that, but I think now they should embrace it, ‘F***ing yes, I am the highest paid woman.’
“Contractually, there is more parity between men and women now ? agents have woken up to that…
“I haven’t drawn up any contracts since Time’s Up. I might do some digging, now we’re talking about it. I’ve never found it very easy to talk about money, that’s just the way I was brought up. I’ve always felt lucky to be working at what I love doing…. don’t print that, nobody will pay me again! For a woman to say, what am I worth? I think it’s better to say, what is my time worth? That’s the way we should rephrase it.”

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

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

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

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

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

By

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

By
Ohmygossip.com

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.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Gemma Collins has promised to make her ‘Dancing on Ice’ critics eat their words.
The 37-year-old TV star – who is best-known for her appearances on ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ – has claimed people are expecting her to fail miserably on the show, but Gemma is determined to prove her doubters wrong.
She told The Sun newspaper: “Everyone thinks I’m the fat joke on the show but whatever’s going to happen in my life, I can do this. And I’m going to prove every f****r out there wrong. People will be eating their words.”
Gemma said she is already feeling the benefit of her skating experience, revealing she’s lost a significant amount of weight thanks to the demands of skating.

Gemma feels much healthier for eating better and exercising on a regular basis.
And she’s convinced she has what it takes to excel on the ITV show.
The reality star shared: “I’ve gone from doing no exercise to exercising two hours a day. When you feel better you don’t want to eat s**t.

Kat Moon’s EastEnders heartbreak

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Jessie Wallace is thrilled that heartbreak is in store for her ‘EastEnders’ character Kat Moon.
Kat is set to be devastated when she finds out her husband Alfie Moon is the father of her cousin Hayley Slater’s baby and things start to unravel when Stacey Slater catches the pair kissing on Monday’s (24.12.18) episode.
While her character is set for a tough time, Jessie admitted she is thrilled by the dramatic storyline in the BBC soap and could not wait to start filming it.
She said: “Oh I thought ‘this is brilliant’. Getting your teeth into something like this, the meaty side of it all is brilliant; the script, the directing, the writing – I was in my element. I just thought thank you! Thank you.”
However, Jessie admitted Kat will feel betrayed by both her husband and her family.
She said: “It’s a complete shock. But then also I think Kat thinks ‘yes I can see, I can see how that happened and why that happened’. But yes, completely betrayed by not only her husband but someone in her family too.
“It all comes out from the tiniest thing, from the most careless, stupid thing. I don’t want to give too much away but it’s something that Hayley does. But I think what she (Hayley) does, is almost a cry for help. But obviously Kat is going to find out and she reacts in the way only Kat can react. She goes crazy!”
The betrayal is even more devastating for Kat as she had been feeling “optimistic” about her marriage following a tough time.
Jessie said: “Kat’s feeling very optimistic, I think she’s a bit trepidatious at first and it takes her a little bit of time to let things fall into place. But, ultimately I think she just wants her family to all be together at Christmas.
“She’s absolutely ecstatic to have her boys back because there’s been a huge gap where they’ve not been there. She feels like she missed out with them, so definitely ecstatic to have her boys back.”
And Jessie was thrilled to reunite with castmate Shane Richie – who she calls her “soulmate”.
She said: “Oh I love Shane, we’re like soulmates, he’s like my brother. I love him so, so much and when he wasn’t here I missed him like crazy. Kat and Alfie have been together for 17 years so yes, it’s been amazing.”

Emily Andre’s Christmas tights

OHMYGOSSIP — Emily Andre uses her old tights as Christmas stockings.
The 29-year-old doctor – who has children Amelia, four, and Theo, two, with husband Peter Andre – and her family like to cram as many gifts as possible into one leg of hosiery and they can then spend the whole morning getting through opening the presents.
She said: “We do stockings on Christmas morning and then we space the presents out throughout the day, opening some before lunch and some after watching the Queen’s speech.
“Our family tradition is making our stockings out of tights as they stretch really long so you can pack so much in there.
“Each person gets half a tight each!”
And Peter – who also has Junior, 13, and Princess, 11, with first wife Katie Price – is feeling the pressure to fill Emily’s stocking because it’s usually down to her mum.
He told OK! magazine: “Of course I’ll spoil Emily – I’m doing her stocking this year, so the pressure is really on.”
The couple are looking forward to some quality family time on December 25.
Peter said: “We’ll have lots of food, games and laughter.
“I’m most looking forward to all the games – and all the food.
“We go for a walk in the afternoon and then watch a movie.”
Emily added: “I love the feeling of all the family being cosy round the fire.”
But the ‘Mysterious Girl’ singer’s older children won’t be joining them on the big day this year as he recently revealed that, in keeping with tradition of alternating years with his ex-wife, they will be with Katie on Christmas Day.
He tweeted: “I never normally respond to anything. But Of course the children (j and p ) will be with their mum for Christmas. This was always the case. And so they should. She is their mum. Have a good day :)))”

Pete Davidson attends Machine Gun Kelly concert

OHMYGOSSIP — Pete Davidson went to watch Machine Gun Kelly live over the weekend following his recent alarming Instagram post.
The 25-year-old comedian had sparked widespread concern for his well-being after he admitted he didn’t “want to be on this earth anymore”, but he has been seen out and about as ‘Saturday Night Live’ takes a break over the festive season.
As reported by TMZ, concert goers spotted Pete – who suffers from bipolar disorder and has previously battled suicidal thoughts – at the show in Cleveland over the weekend as he sat on an elevated stage platform, dressed in a dark hoodie.
He looked to be rapping along to MGK’s hit ‘Rap Devil’, and seemed to be enjoying himself as he threw his hands in the air.
Pete’s candid Instagram post caused fans to voice concerns about his mental health.
He wrote: “I really don’t want to be on this earth anymore. I’m doing my best to stay here for you but i actually don’t know how much longer i can last. all i’ve ever tried to do was help people. Just remember I told you so. (sic)”
Pete – who split from Ariana Grande earlier this year following a whirlwind romance with the pop star – has also admitted to having suicidal thoughts.
He confessed: “I’ve been getting online bullied and in public by people for 9 months. I’ve spoken about BPD and being suicidal publicly only in the hopes that it will help bring awareness and help kids like myself who don’t want to be on this earth. No matter how hard the internet or anyone tries to make me kill myself. I won’t. I’m upset I even have to say this. (sic)”
Meanwhile, Ariana is said to be worried about her former flame after the worrying post, which led to him being the subject of a welfare check by the New York Police Department (NYPD).
And Ariana is said to be “frantic” and worried about her former flame’s well being.
A source told People magazine: “Ariana and Pete haven’t really been in contact since the split, but this doesn’t mean that she doesn’t care about him. She was frantic after she saw his Instagram message. She feels terrible that he isn’t feeling well.”

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

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

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

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

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.
