OHMYGOSSIP — Drew Barrymore “fights like a lion” to maintain her weight goals.
The ‘Miss You Already’ actress admits it can be tough for her to lose weight but after shedding an impressive 25 pounds, she realises she has the “control to be who she wants” to be.
She wrote on Instagram: “#TheWayItLooksToUs: WELLNESS … When I look at Instagram, I am made to think I should be at my best self. But most days, I lack consistency due to real life … Solution: with the right people (@marniealton) we can make our goals a reality… Here is me in a before pose and then 25 pounds later in the same place. You can tell my face is so much thinner! This takes me so much work. Diet and exercise and fighting like a lion for it! Damn you genetics! And yet thank you for all the good stuff. I love where I come from (JOHN ETHEL LIONEL) and whatever package it comes in. I just know that I have the control to be what I want. Even if it is hard AF! At least I know there are experts I can turn to for help. I mean look at what Marnie helped me do in three months! When i have time off in 2019…I’m comin for ya! PS may I just say I want to be these ladies on the front page. You are my spirit animals and my goal posts! (sic)”
Meanwhile, Drew previously claimed she doesn’t really care about having “a hot body” and regaining her pre-pregnancy body isn’t a priority.
The actress – who has Olive, six, and Frankie, four, with her ex-husband Will Kopelman – said: “Having a hot body is just not my thing. I care a little, I don’t care a lot. I never looked good in a bathing suit, so now I look worse in a bathing suit. I have cellulite. But I would much rather have my kids and look a little worse in a bathing suit!”

Kate Beckinsale’s Christmas tribute to Queen

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Kate Beckinsale has made Freddie Mercury the star on the top of her Christmas tree.
The ‘Underworld’ star paid homage to the late Queen singer by placing a small cardboard cut out of him at the top of her tree whilst his track ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ played in the background.
Alongside three yellow heart emojis, she captioned the video on Instagram: “Hey hey hey (sic)”
Meanwhile, Kate previously opened up about how she feels torn between having more children and “getting annihilated”.
The 45-year-old actress – who already has a 19-year-old daughter called Lily with fellow Hollywood star Michael Sheen – said: “I definitely would [have another child], but then I think ‘Oh God, I annihilated my twenties and I suddenly get a taste of freedom and annihilate myself again?’ But I am open to seeing what happens.”
Kate feels she has an “intense” relationship with her daughter.
She explained: “I’m my mother’s only child and Lily is my only child. It’s an intense relationship to have, especially if you’re a single parent. Then it’s very important that the child has her own personality and her own life. That’s hard for the parent but it’s also important. On the other hand, I text my mother 18 times a day.”
And Kate feels “very sorry” that her daughter has flown the nest.
She shared: “It means I’ve got an open landscape for the first time since I became a mother. Lily is a great, bright, intelligent, interesting, feisty girl. I’ll be very sorry for her not to be always in my house but hopefully she’ll come back to visit.”

Jennifer Lopez’s journey of self-discovery

By

-

OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Lopez went on a journey of self-discovery after the arrival of her twins.
The ‘On The Floor’ hitmaker – who has twins Max and Emme, now 10, with her ex-husband Marc Anthony – says the birth of her two kids made her realise that she wasn’t always as happy as she thought she was and credits them for making her laugh and smile.
She said: “When they were born, I realised, ‘Wow, I haven’t laughed and smiled like this in a long time.’ It made me realise that I had spent a lot of my life being happy and doing what I loved, but I had also spent some of my life being unhappy personally and not living in as much happiness and gratitude and the present as I needed to be doing.
“I realised that the only person who could guide me out of it was myself. And I had work to do and I had to make myself happy and figure myself out. That was a big turning point in my life. You get a new perspective and a gratitude and you grow into somebody who realises that your mistakes are not what define you. What defines you is what you do after your mistakes and how you learn what is meant to be learned from those moments.”
And the 49-year-old singer and actress has finally learned she has the “power” to make her life whatever she wants it to be.
She told Vanity Fair magazine: “Everybody has the same feelings where you feel lost at some point in your life and think, ‘What am I doing? Is there more? Should I dream bigger? Can I start now? Is it too late?’ I just feel like that’s why people are responding to this movie in the way that they are. Because it really does make you feel like the only person stopping you from anything in your life is you. And you really have that power to make your life whatever you want it to be.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Cardi B is feeling “so much pressure and anxiety” to deliver with her second album.
The ‘Bodak Yellow’ hitmaker admits she is nervous about her next LP after all the tracks on her debut album, ‘Invasion of Privacy’, were certified gold or higher in the United States by the the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
After hearing the news, she wrote on Twitter: “BIG MOMMA BARDI !! Im happy my album is amazing but I got sooo much pressure and anxiety cause I know I gotta kill it with my second one (sic)”
Back in September, soon after the arrival of her daughter Kulture – who she has with estranged husband Offset, Cardi admitted she felt guilty that she hadn’t been in the recording studio for two days.
She shared: “I missed two days in the studio!Its Kulture fault,her eyes be telling me “don’t go momma ” … Sooooo much work , soooo little time. I shall finish though (sic)”
Cardi previously teased she was planning on unveiling at least five new tracks, which didn’t make her debut album ‘Invasion Of Privacy’.
In an Instagram live, she said at the time: “There’s about five songs that I was supposed to put on ‘Invasion Of Privacy’ but they didn’t fit and make sense. So I’m gonna put it on this project that I really want to put out on September 1st, but I’m missing like four or five songs. I got four or five songs I gotta finish for this project and I got like six features I still got to do [for other artists].”

Keira Knightley: I’m not maternal

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Keira Knightley was “never particularly maternal”.
The ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star – who has three-year-old daughter Edie with her husband James Righton – knew she “always wanted” to “experience” being a mother.
She said: “I was never particularly maternal, but I always knew I wanted to experience that. It’s part of life. I want to experience as much of life as I can.”
And the 33-year-old actress admits she “misses” going out like she used to but understands that she can’t do that or she wouldn’t be “the parent that she wants to be”.
She added: “I do miss going out. I loved it. I felt like a big part of myself was the self that was out dancing until six in the morning most nights unless I was on a film. That’s a difficult shift for any couple when you have a child. I don’t think we would have survived physically for that much longer if we’d kept going at that rate, but it was a big shift. I think the first year we tried to pretend that we could have that life still, and we can’t – not being the parents that we want to be.”
Keira insists she is the “predominant breadwinner” in the house but is grateful to her husband James for putting his “life on hold” for her career.
She told The Sunday Times’ Style magazine: “I am the predominant breadwinner, but we’ve really tried to parent 50/50. He’s a wonderful father and he has majorly put his life on hold. He’s been on every single film shoot looking after Edie, and he takes stuff with us so he can record. We went to the rubbish dump recently and she said, ‘Are you at work, Mummy?’ I realised mostly she sees me in the back of sets, so I don’t know what she thinks I do, but she does think I work in a trailer in a car park.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Tom Hanks surprised fans at a fast food drive-thru and even bought them lunch.
The 62-year-old star added to his reputation as one of the nicest people in Hollywood over the weekend when he headed to a branch of In-N-Out Burger in Fontana, California and bought food for some lucky customers waiting in line.
In videos and photos shared by fans on social media, Tom – who was eating inside the restaurant with his wife Rita Wilson – was seen making time for his fans.
One of the fans told E! News: “Tom signed In-N-Out hats and took pictures with everyone.
“He was genuinely nice, laughing, talking with everyone and taking selfies! He wished us a Merry Christmas on his way out.”
The ‘Toy Story’ actor recently proved his dedication to charity work as it was revealed he was looking to buy and renovate a vintage Polish Syrena vehicle to help raise money for the Paediatric Hospital in Bielsko-Biała, southern Poland.
He said on YouTube: “It pays to help out.”
Meanwhile, it has been reported that the star could be in line to play Geppetto in Disney’s live-action remake of ‘Pinocchio’.
It’s said Tom is being eyed for the role as the woodworker who creates the titular puppet – who is then brought to life by a fairy – in Disney’s upcoming remake of the classic 1940 animated movie, which comes as part of the company’s live-action remake line.
The original Disney ‘Pinocchio’ film was the second animated movie made by the studio after 1937’s ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’, and was adapted from a story by Italian author Carlo Collodi.

Gabrielle Union’s baby listened to Beyonce in the womb

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Gabrielle Union’s baby daughter Kaavia listened to recordings of her family and Beyonce in the womb.
The 46-year-old actress and her basketball star husband Dwyane Wade, 36, welcomed their first child together via a surrogate in November, and Gabrielle has revealed they used the sounds of their voices and their favourite music to make their new arrival’s “transition” into their lives “a lot smoother”.
During a recent Instagram Live, she said: “The surrogate would play it with headphones on her belly so Kaavia could get used to our voices.
“Kaav heard everything from ‘Astroworld’ (Travis Scott) to Beyoncé to Earth Wind and Fire to The Whispers.
“It made that transition from surrogacy into our home a lot smoother.”
Gabrielle, who was joined by Nanny to the stars Connie Simpson during the Instagram Live, also revealed that the newborn arrived early.
She said: “We thought we had at least two more weeks.”
Meanwhile, Dwayne recently revealed he convinced his wife to give up on IVF.
Speaking about undergoing the fertility treatment, Gabrielle – who had eight miscarriages – said: “I could not let go of this idea of creating this life within me, and felt the need to be pregnant for everybody, including myself.”
However, after seeing the toll the IVF and miscarriages were taking on his wife, Dwayne stepped in and urged her to consider other options.
He said: “I’m watching her do things to her body and to herself that it’s getting to the point where it’s not healthy.’
“And as I always told her: ‘I want this baby just as much as you do, but I married you, and you are the most important thing to me.’
“So it came to a point where, you know, I started to feel a certain way about that because I didn’t want something to happen to her.
“When doctors floated the possibility of a operation, I had to step in and say: ‘Baby, it’s me and you, you know? I wanna grow old with you. And, you know, I want this – I want our miracle baby, but I want you.'”
Dwayne – who has 16-year-old Zaire, five-year-old Xavier and 11-year-old Zion from previous relationships – took paternity leave after Kaavia was born as it was important to him that he bonded with his baby daughter straight away.
He explained: “For me and for my wife and our family, our journey was just totally different. Having a surrogate carry our baby, I wasn’t there to be able to be like [leaning down to the belly]: ‘Hey, baby, daddy’s here.’ You know, to have these conversations, so she can hear me, right, so we can sing to her, so we can read to her. So this connection that we both needed, it had to happen right away.
“They expect my wife to take off, right? Why not expect me to take off as well? We’re parents and we’re doing this together.”

John Malkovich axed as Santa

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — John Malkovich was axed from playing Santa Claus.
The 65-year-old actor was cast as Father Christmas in an animated movie but his attachment to the unnamed project was short lived because he got fired as people couldn’t imagine him as the festive figure.
He admitted: “I actually played Santa once. It was a voice for an animated film. I got fired. I don’t think people bought me as Santa.”
In 1999, John famously appeared in ‘Being John Malkovich’ – in which a couple find a portal into the mind of the actor – and though he was very impressed by Charlie Kaufman and Spike Jonze’s idea, he was initially concerned that it would spark a “sea change” that would bring more attention to his personal life.
He told the Sunday Times Culture magazine: “Before I did that film was the only time I thought, ‘Listen, I have a pretty good life. I do my plays, my little movies, I go and do this or that, get my picture taken, but people pretty much leave me alone and always have.’
“I realised that film could be a kind of sea change. It was a worry. Because it was obvious that Charlie Kaufman is such a gifted and profound writer, pretty close to a visionary, and Spike as well, that people might really think that’s my life. It’s nothing to do with my life.”
Meanwhile, the ‘Dangerous Liaisons’ actor – who has two children, Amandine and Loewy, with partner Nicoletta Peyran – admitted his kids have never been big fans of his work and hated him reading bedtime stories when they were younger.
He said: “Their mother read them ‘The Cat in the Hat’, ‘The Stinky Cheese Man’, ‘Goodnight Moon’, all that.
“English is her fourth language — I’m supposedly a professional actor. But they would just go, ‘No!’ It’s so funny, because they really hated it. They liked to see me play the guitar. But don’t let him… act.”

Cardi B insists she’s not back with Offset and just wanted sex

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Cardi B insists she and Offset are not back together after their Puerto Rico getaway and that she simply needed sex.
The ‘Money’ rapper took to her Instagram Live over the weekend to explain that her recent trip with her estranged Migos star husband – with whom she has five-month-old daughter Kulture – was not them rekindling their relationship romantically and that she simply needed to fulfil her sexual urges.
She told her followers: “I just had to get f*****, that’s all.
“B***h feels baptised. “I came back to f****** life, b***h.”
The ‘Bodak Yellow’ hitmaker had previously taken to the social media app to admit she was missing sex with her other half, saying: “I Miss the D.”
Cardi’s claim she isn’t reuniting properly with Offset comes after he hinted he’ll “change his ways” following their getaway.
The former couple split up a few weeks ago, and since then the ‘Walk It Talk It’ hitmaker has been determined to win back the 26-year-old star, even
turning up at one of her concerts to beg for her forgiveness.
Cardi seemed adamant that they wouldn’t get back together, before the pair were spotted enjoying some sun on the back of a jet ski in the Caribbean island this weekend.
Shortly after the holiday, Offset took to Instagram to share a picture of himself from his 27th birthday – in which he wore a $11,000,
custom-made Laurel Dewitt Swarovski crystal ski mask and matching jacket – and quoted lyrics from the late Michael Jackson’s hit ‘Man in
the Mirror’.
He wrote: “I M S E A R C H I N G F O R T H E
“M A N I N T H E M I R R O R
“I M T E L L I N G H I M T O
“C H A N G E H I S W A Y S (sic)”
Though it’s unknown whether Offset’s lyrical reference had anything to do with his ongoing marital problems.

Mel B excited about reunion shows

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Mel B has promised the Spice Girls will “blow the fans away” on their reunion tour.
The 43-year-old singer and her bandmates Mel C, Emma Bunton and Geri Horner are busy preparing for their upcoming stadium jaunt and she can’t wait for the shows to start.
She said: “We’re getting ready to rehearse and having non-stop meetings about how we’re going to do the show.
“We want to blow the fans away to thank them for their loyalty and support
“I actually cannot wait to get into my leopardprint catsuits and rip up the stage. Everyone get ready.”
Though Victoria Beckham opted out of being involved in the tour, Mel is still convinced the fashion designer will join them on stage at at least one of the gigs.
She told Britain’s HELLO! magazine: “I still think Victoria may actually join us at some point, but that’s just me. I’m the eternal optimist.
“I’m very respectful of the fact she is incredibly busy with her fashion empire and it’s not the right time for her, but I have a sneaking suspicion she will see the fun we’re having and – well, maybe I shouldn’t say any more.”
Mel’s youngest daughters, Angel, 11, and seven-year-old Madison are particularly excited for the tour because, unlike their older sister Phoenix, 19, they aren’t old enough to have seen the ‘Viva Forever’ hitmakers in action before.
Angel – whose dad is actor Eddie Murphy – said: “Me and Madison can’t wait to see her on stage.
“Last time they did a tour, it was the year I was born and now I’m going to be able to actually see her singing and dancing. It’s going to be unbelievable.”
Madison – Mel’s daughter from her second marriage to Stephen Belafonte – added: “I just have one word to say about Mommy’s tour and that is, ‘Yay!’.”

Ozzy Osbourne not quitting touring

OHMYGOSSIP — Ozzy Osbourne insists he isn’t giving up touring.
The 69-year-old rocker claims people have mistakenly assumed he’s quitting live performance because of the name of his “farewell” concert series, ‘No More Tours 2’, and reassured his fans he’s simply planning to reduce his schedule.
He told the Pasadena Star-News newspaper: “People have gotten that all wrong. The tour should have been the Ozzy Osbourne ‘Slowing Down Tour’.
“What I’m actually doing is not going out on January 1 and coming back on December 31. I’ll still tour, but not as extensively like I have been for the last 50 years.
“I mean, I have grandchildren now and I’m 70 years old and I don’t want to be found dead in a hotel room somewhere. I’m going to do it at a more leisurely pace and do some shows in Vegas … but I’ll never stop.”
And the ‘Paranoid’ hitmaker vowed to keep performing live for as long as he still has fans.
He added: “The whole lifestyle I have lived, it has all come down to the fact that there are people who want to hear me and as long as they want to hear me, I’m there.”
Meanwhile, the former Black Sabbath frontman recently revealed he has given up cigarettes, drugs and alcohol and is amazed by his old wild ways.
He said: “I don’t drink alcohol anymore…I don’t smoke tobacco. I don’t use drugs…I’m doing good right now.
“I now think, ‘How did I think going into a bar and getting smashed and doing all that cocaine was fun?’ ”

Dominic West: Ruth Wilson was ‘keen to get out’ of The Affair

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Dominic West says Ruth Wilson was “keen to get out” of ‘The Affair’, after rumours she quit due to pay disparity.
The 49-year-old actor has denied claims Ruth exited the Golden Globe Award winning series after three years because she got paid less than her co-star.
Asked if he can explain why she left, he said: “I don’t think I can, actually. No … Oh God, no, it’s nothing to do with [pay], no. No, no, no. No, it wasn’t that, no. I think it’s nothing particularly big. I mean, she saw it as a three-year arc, really. The problem with episodic telly is very few shows can sustain it beyond three, so she was keen to get out.”
Dominic plays Noah Solloway in the American television drama series and is hoping his character is a bit less of a “d**k” in series four and onwards.
He added to The Sunday Times magazine: “I said, ‘Look, I think Noah’s been through an unbelievable amount, and I think he’s got wise in some way.’ She agreed, and in season four there’s a certain wisdom to him, at least. Hopefully.”
Meanwhile, Ruth previously revealed she got paid less than Dominic when the pair signed up to star in acclaimed drama series ‘The Affair’.
Claiming she knows with some certainty that Cooper, 48, received a higher salary than her, she shared: “I definitely get less money than a male in my situation would. Certainly when I signed up to that project, I would have got paid less.”
Wilson scooped the Golden Globe for Best Actress – Television Series Drama in 2015 for her portrayal of Alison Lockhart, but despite her awards success, Wilson did not get a pay rise from bosses on the programme – which also scooped the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Drama at the 2015 ceremony.
She said: “Even after a Golden Globe I’m not going to be on parity. I don’t know what the figure is, but I’m sure he does … I don’t want more money, I just want equal money. Which means men have to take less.”

Saoirse Ronan joins The French Dispatch

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Saoirse Ronan will reunite with Timothee Chalamet and director Wes Anderson for ‘The French Dispatch’.
The 24-year-old Golden Globe winner, who worked with the latter on 2014’s ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’ and last year’s ‘Lady Bird’ with Chalamet, 22 – who has a lead role in the live action feature – joins a star-studded ensemble along with Benicio del Toro, Jeffrey Wright and the director’s frequent collaborators Bill Murray, TIlda Swinton and Frances McDormand.
Ronan – who will also star alongside Chalamet in Greta Gerwig’s remake of ‘Little Women’ – let the news of her casting in the post-World War II drama slip during a recent video interview for her next movie, ‘Mary Queen of Scots’.
She told GoldDerby when asked if she is reuniting with the 49-year-old filmmaker: “Yeah, in the spring.”
Before asking: “Has that (casting) been released? Well it has now.”
Anderson is writing the film as well as directing, while Scott Rudin is on board to produce.
The movie is set in the 1950s and follows a group of journalists at an American newspaper bureau in Paris, though filming is currently taking place in Angouleme in South West France.
It’s unclear if a distribution deal is officially closed but according to the Hollywood Reporter, the movie is expected to be distributed by Fox Searchlight, who have released several of the director’s past films, including this year’s ‘Isle of Dogs’.
Ronan plays the titular role in ‘Mary Queen of Scots’ opposite Margot Robbie as Mary’s cousin Queen Elizabeth I in the drama biopic, which focuses on the feud between England and Scotland in 1569.
And the ‘On Chesil Beach’ star admits it is a dream come true to play the historical figure.
Saoirse said: “The film focuses on the seven years before Mary’s arrest in England and we see Queen Elizabeth heavily involved in the politics of that time and the struggle against patriarchal authority. I’ve always wanted to play Mary and it was an amazing feeling to get to do it.
“It’s a fascinating and compelling story and I couldn’t wait to play this character. We get to see Mary in a very personal way, which adds another layer to the story and all the politics, betrayals and conspiracies taking place.”

Christian Bale interesting in Adam McKay comedy role

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Christian Bale would love to star in an Adam McKay comedy.
The 44-year-old actor has worked with the filmmaker on a number of more serious projects – including ‘The Big Short’ and new political drama ‘Vice’ – but he wouldn’t turn down the chance to appear in one of the ‘Anchorman’ director’s more lighthearted films.
He told Cinemablend: “I’d be interested in working with [Adam McKay] on anything. He’s shown an incredible ability to take things that most people would shy away from, un-cinematic, and make stunning films out of those.
“We’ve been able to do incredibly long hours and very tough films, but with the best of humor, and that’s really quite remarkable. He’s a really surprising individual, and a truly, astonishingly talented filmmaker.”
His comments come after McKay himself admitted he and his collaborator Robyn Wholey are both keen to get back into the world of comedy.
He said: “After [‘Vice’] and ‘The Big Short’, even though they both have comedy in them, without a doubt, my executive producer Robyn Wholey and I were laughing like, ‘We need a comedy. We definitely do.’ So you tell me what’s the comedy is, and I’m in.”
The director revealed he looks back on teaming up with Will Ferrell in the likes of ‘Step Brothers’ and ‘Talladega Nights’ very fondly, and joked he needed to find a way to combine the laughter with serious issues.
He added: “Oh God, yes, please. I miss those days. I mean ‘Step Brothers’, we laughed every single day. I mean, ‘Talladega Nights’, ‘Anchorman’, it was the best time.
“I just don’t know, man. I mean, can we do a movie that funny about global warming? If we can, I’ll do it! I’m trying to figure it out, trying to figure it out.”

Taboo wants Black Eyed Peas movie

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Black Eyed Peas star Taboo dreams of the group having their own musical movie.
The ‘Where is the Love? hitmaker – who is joined by will.i.am, apl.de.ap, and Jessica Reynoso in the current line-up – says he’d love for their music and story to be turned into a big screen feature film just like recent blockbuster, ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, which is cantered on Queen’s late frontman Freddie Mercury’s (Rami Malek) life.
Taboo says “friendship” would be at the heart of a Peas movie.
He told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “I would eventually like to see an amazing film about the Black Eyed Peas done with the right people in the right way. It’s a very compelling story.
“Apl is a huge inspiration to this idea and friendship because he came to the Philippines and set the tone to what was to become our friendship and the dream of overcoming obstacles.
“It’s a great story and I would love in the future to have a movie made of our friendship.”
Meanwhile, the band member recently claimed former member Fergie turned down a reunion to work on her solo album.
The ‘I Gotta Feeling’ hitmakers offered the 43-year-old singer the chance to team up with them again, but she wanted to work on her second album, ‘Double Dutchess’.
Taboo – who battled testicular cancer in 2014 – said recently: “When I beat cancer I felt rejuvenated, like I wanted to be back on stage again.
“When we asked Fergie if she wanted to rock with us, she said respectfully, ‘I’m going to do the ‘Double Dutchess’.’
“And I felt like time waits for no man, so we went in to create the album ‘Masters of The Sun Vol. 1’, knowing we had to go back to celebrating the accomplishments of us being a trio.”
Jessica has since replaced Fergie in the band, but will admits it felt normal being a trio because he, Taboo and apl.de.ap were the co-founding members of the group.
He said: “Returning to the trio that we were wasn’t something which felt jarring or foreign to us.
“When we started the group we were a trio and even when we were a quartet, we were a trio.
“Because we are the origins of what we created, it’s not foreign at all.”

Olly Murs reveals Christmas album plans

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Olly Murs is holding off on a Christmas album until it feels like “the right time”.
The ‘Dance With Me Tonight’ hitmaker is still planning to release a collection of festive tracks, but he thinks he needs to find the appropriate moment in his career to bring out the seasonal songs.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: “A Christmas album is an idea I’ve thought about a lot. But you have to pick the right time to do that.
“Michael Buble did his which was massive. I will do one eventually but it’s getting the right time.”
Last month, Olly – who recently released his new album ‘You Know I Know’ – commented on celebrating a decade since he shot to fame after coming second on ‘The X Factor’ in 2009.
Ahead of the milestone, he admitted he’s delighted to still have a large fan base and can’t wait to see them all on his upcoming UK tour.
He said: “Ten years – it’s crazy. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to get this far. I’m delighted…
“It’s amazing to still be relevant.
“I can’t wait to get back on the road, see my fans and hear what they think of the music.”
And the ‘Moves’ singer is planning a special celebration to mark the milestone.
He said: “I’ll definitely do something to commemorate it and reflect. And I’m looking forward to the next 10.”
The ‘Voice’ coach is most proud of his 2012 single ‘Troublemaker’, which became his fourth UK number one and is his highest-selling track to date.
He said: “‘Troublemaker’ is the track that holds the most memories for me.
“The success of that song opened up a whole new world for me and paved the way to be where I am now.
