Nicole Kidman has big Christmas plans

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicole Kidman will celebrate Christmas with a “big crowd”.
The ‘Aquaman’ actress will return to Australia with her husband Keith Urban and their daughters Sunday, 10, and Faith, seven, for the festive season, while her sister Antonia will travel from Singapore and they have a “lot of fun” catching up with their extended family.
She said: “We usually go to Sydney for Christmas. My mother lives there, but as I live in America and my sister lives in Singapore, Momma needs us to go back regularly. It’s a big crowd.
“We have lots of extended family and we also have people who don’t have family who come to be with us, so it’s usually about 40 people. It’s a lot of fun.”
While their mother may do the hosting, Nicole and Antonia are happy to get involved with the catering.
The ‘Big Little Lies’ star said: “I do a Christmas Eve party and my sister does Christmas Day.
“I do prawns which I get from the fish market and which are delicious, and on the day itself my sister will probably do a turkey and a ham.”
However, the 51-year-old actress’ celebrations are tinged with sadness because her family are still mourning her father Antony, who died in 2014.
She said in a recent interview: “It was very sudden. I think that for anyone who has lost a loved one suddenly, it’s a very different journey from the one if you’d been able to say goodbye.
“And it’s very, very hard because you miss a lot of things that you would have wanted to say to that person.
“There are so many things I wanted to say to my dad…. But, you know, I do still feel him here around me and it also puts time into a whole different perspective because it makes me realise I don’t want to waste any moment of it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Olly Murs is throwing a 1980s themed Christmas for his family this year.
The 34-year-old star – who was born on May 14, 1984 – will be celebrating with his family tomorrow (25.12.18) and he is going all-out to make sure it’s a day none of them will ever forget.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: “It’s an 80s Christmas theme this year, 80s themed dinner, 80s themed outfits, 80s themed decorations.
“I’m channelling my inner 80s because I was born in the 80s.
The ‘Movies’ hitmaker revealed he’ll even be turning up in fancy dress as a giant Rubik’s Cube puzzle, and admitted he’s going all out with the “decor”.
He added: “The decor will be different and I’m going dressed as a Rubik’s Cube. I’m not sure how we’re going to do an 80s roast dinner but the 80s desserts will be good.”
His Christmas plans come after Olly recently admitted he hopes he can repair his relationship with his twin brother Ben one day after the pair fell out when the singer had to miss his sibling’s wedding because of his ‘X Factor’ commitments.
Speaking earlier this month, he said: “I hope [we make up]. It’s mad because every year I think it’s nine years, 10 years. I did text him this year for his birthday, I think he’s changed his number, but we’ll talk again.
“We’ll figure it out. Life is too short. Christmas is never the same.”
Meanwhile, the star has also revealed he is “happy” being single at the moment, although he hopes to find love one day.
He said: “I’m happy single. I don’t like talking about it, of course I’d love to be in love and have an amazing life with someone, that’s what everyone loves, but it seems to be the only thing people ask.”

An insider shared: “There has been and will continue to be things with Scott’s family life that bother Sofia, but she is trying to just deal without causing drama. She loves Scott and wants to be with him.
“She knows she will always be kind of the outsider, but she loves being around Scott and his kids.
“She knows that Kourtney isn’t her biggest fan and she understands that. Sofia and Kourtney will never be best friends, but Sofia is happy that she has proved to Kourtney that she is great with her kids.
“Sofia is hoping that her relationship with Scott lasts.”
Kourtney previously hit out at Scott for introducing their children to Sofia before she thought they were ready but they pair have now put the drama behind them.
Scott previously explained: “When we got home, the kids were there, so of course they met my girlfriend. Kourtney goes, ‘You’re a f***ing joke. You don’t care. We discussed with the therapist that we were going to wait.’ I said, ‘We discussed with the therapist that we were going to wait until after the new year and after the holiday!'”

What’s more, Debby has given her fans a behind-the-scenes look at her engagement via her social media accounts.
The actress wrote on Twitter: “I said yes! Well technically I said ‘NO WAY’ twice but I meant yes. (sic)”
Debby also shared her husband-to-be’s post on her Instagram Story, writing: “Prince of my life.”

James Cameron’s canine punishment for Arnold Schwarzenegger

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — James Cameron once made Arnold Schwarzenegger wear a bone and bark like a dog.
The 64-year-old filmmaker turned the tables on his frequent collaborator when a stunt in ‘True Lies’ went wrong because he issued him the same punishment the actor used to dole out to the stunt team.
James said: “He used to like his practical jokes and I remember on ‘True Lies’ he had this thing where if any of the stunt guys made a mistake – because he was always very close with the stunt guys – they had to bark like a dog and wear a dog bone. A big rawhide bone that went over your neck on a rope, right?
“So I’m choreographing the bathroom fight with the machine gun shooting the stalls and all that, and Arnold had to rip a hand dryer off a wall and clock this guy in the face with it.
“With fight choreography, I always try to get in there and do parts of it myself because I need to feel the body dynamics of it, and I’ve done a lot of martial arts so I know a lot of the moves.
“So I grabbed this hand dryer, pulled it off the wall and swept it around in an arc and my hand hit the side of the bathroom counter. I’m like, ‘Alright, don’t do that. When you pull it off, sweep it around here and backhand him with it.’ Arnold says, ‘Yeah, yeah, I got it.’
“First take, BAM. He tore open the whole back side of his hand.
“It swelled up to this crazy size. I now couldn’t shoot the scene. So I said, ‘Arnold…’ and he goes [barking noises]. He had to wear the bone.”
The director is heavily involved with the upcoming sixth ‘Terminator’ movie, having sat out work on the last three installments of the franchise, and made it a condition that Arnold had to be back too.
Asked why he returned, he told Empire magazine: “It was a chance to get the band back together I guess.
“I made it an absolute necessity that if I was involved, Arnold had to be involved. And we didn’t know how much or how little he was gonna be in the film.
“Then we started to explore the whole thing and it turned out there was a really wonderful approach to his character. He’s been programmed for bad, programmed for good. So what was left to do? And I think we came home with something pretty cool.
“Then Linda [Hamilton] and I talked and she said, ‘Yeah, if you do the things you’re talking about with [Sarah Connor] then I’d like to do it.”

Gal Gadot hails ‘unique and special’ Wonder Woman 1984

By
Helena-Reet Ennet

OHMYGOSSIP — Gal Gadot thinks shooting ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ was “even more unique and special” than the first movie.
The 33-year-old actress has reprised the role of the iconic action star for the much-anticipated sequel to 2017’s ‘Wonder Woman’, and Gal has revealed she relished the experience of shooting the new film.
She wrote on her Instagram account: “We did it. Again!! And as much as the first time shooting Wonder Woman was amazing, this time was even more unique and special.. We shot in 4 very different locations in 3 countries, and I’m so soooo proud of the almost 1000 crew members who came to set every day, giving everything they have into our movie. (sic)”
‘Wonder Woman’ was one of the biggest cinematic successes of 2017.
And Gal has loved the experience of working with director Patty Jenkins once again.
She wrote: “Couldn’t ask for better partners on this.. I’m so lucky to have the one and only Patty Jenkins, as my director. She always has our backs, she gives us the wings to dare, and everyday she helped us find the most creative version of ourselves .. I am so grateful to call her my friend. And to our AMAZINGly talented cast who made every day enjoyable and fun, thank you!
“Honestly.. Words cannot describe this experience.. This journey was so demanding and challenging but we all came and did our very best every take, every day, putting our all out there and I’m so proud… Thank you universe for this opportunity.

Jack White sings own covers

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Jack White “pretends” his songs are all covers.
The 43-year-old singer has always felt more “comfortable” with other people’s songs, so when he’s recording new material, he tries to trick himself in order to feel “free”.
He explained: “I’m more comfortable covering other people’s music so I pretend my song has been written by somebody else a long time ago.
“I started that in The White Stripes and have carried it in all my projects.
“I used to write my own songs and think they were OK, but then cover somebody else’s and find the chord changes amazing and felt so alive, more comfortable.
“So I began to pretend I was covering my own songs and it frees me up.”
But Jack isn’t the only one playing tricks in the studio as his drummer Carla Azar has learned to make deliberate mistakes in order to force the singer into recording another take so she has time to work out what she wants to play.
She said: “He loves throwing people together and making a situation.
“He’ll never stop an idea before he’s heard it through. He can always press delete at the end – that’s where he has the control.
“I trick him into playing what I really want to play [by making mistakes]. I’ve never told him that – put it in, he’ll love it.”
Though the Raconteurs singer is known for his use of analogue equipment, he used Pro Tools on his latest solo album ‘Boarding House Reach’ and though he likes the technology, he doesn’t think it’s great for him to rely on.
He told Uncut magazine: “We recorded live to tape but edited on Pro Tools. That’s the best part of Pro Tools. What we usually do with razor blades and record tape is dangerous, you can screw things up – and I have – and you can’t get it back.
“Now I could do the things I’d always imagined.
“But it’s not necessarily a great place for my brain to live, the knowledge that I can fix things on a computer.
“I need to keep one foot on the ground and remember where music comes from.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Khalid is suffering from social anxiety.
The 20-year-old singer/songwriter opened up to his fans on Twitter about the “overwhelming” disorder and admitted it can affect him when he is meeting fans or before he goes on stage.
Social anxiety disorder is a long-lasting and overwhelming fear of being judged, negatively evaluated, or rejected in a social or performance situation.
He tweeted: “shoutout to social anxiety haha,” before going on to engage with fans about his issues.
He explained: “it’s something I’ve gained I feel like. Making friends used to be so easy and sh*t now I’m like… let me just go home. it’s also maintenance haha I feel like I miss out on a lot by never wanting to go out (sic).”
When one fan asked if meeting fans sets off his social anxiety, he replied: “Just depends on the environment! Meeting someone 1 v 1 is easier for me then meeting and talking to someone in front of hella people. going out in public is a little hard, being recorded non stop, everyone staring at you and sh*t (sic).”
When one fan insisted that he signed up for the celebrity life, Khalid hit back saying: “actually, my life is mine lol come on now. don’t do that.”
He also admitted that he used to get extremely nervous before performing but has managed to get it under control now.
When asked if he feels anxious during his shows, he wrote: “I used to! Only before I walk on stage. I love interacting with everyone.”
Khalid also got support from his fellow celebrities, with Missy Elliot tweeting: “Anxiety is real… I know.”
And Bebe Rexha insisted she would be there for him, if he would just reply to her texts. After he tweeted: “was just thinking, it’s like, I want to make new friends but sh*t… it’s HARD. All this pressure in my chest, all the overthinking, etc,” she replied: “I feel you… Respond to my texts! And you’ll have a friend (sic).”

Abbey Clancy gets annual coat gift

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Abbey Clancy’s husband buys her the same coat every Christmas.
The 32-year-old model would love to be surprised this year but she’s expecting to unwrap the same Burberry trench that Peter Crouch – with whom she has children Sophia, seven, Liberty, three, and 11-month-old Johnny – has bought her for the last six years, just in a different colour.
She told Closer magazine: “Peter isn’t the best at buying gifts.
“Every Christmas he ends up getting me a Burberry mac – the same one, just in a different colour. I’ve got six now!
“It’s like he forgets every year, then comes up with the same idea.
“It really makes me laugh – I’m hoping for anything but a Burberry trench under the tree this time round.
“To be honest, I’m more excited about all the family being together than I am about the pressies.
“The kids all still believe in Father Christmas – it’s really lovely.”
When it comes to her personal style, Abbey doesn’t worry too much about following trends so long as she’s happy with her outfit.
She said: “I don’t worry too much about trends. I prefer wearing what looks and feels good on me, rather than following what everybody else is doing.
“It’s all down to personal preference and body shape when it comes to fashion – I’m not going to wear a pair of neon cycling shorts just because somebody tells me to.”

Miley Cyrus ‘hit on’ Ariana Grande with emojis after Pete Davidson split

OHMYGOSSIP — Miley Cyrus “hit on” Ariana Grande with emojis after her breakup from Pete Davidson.
The 26-year-old star sent her friend a text message of support when it was revealed she had split from her fiance in October – four months after they got engaged – and she found a unique way to try and cheer her up.
Appearing on ‘The Howard Stern Show ‘, Miley revealed: “‘I’m an emoji person so I just sent a bunch of hearts and the little cat with the heart eyes.
“I literally think I sent the cat with the heart eyes. I thought it was slightly, maybe even kind of making her feel good, like maybe I was hitting on her a little bit.
“It felt like to me, it felt maybe like a little, ‘Oh hey, someone loves you. If it’s not working, here I am.’ ”
Ariana’s sent a similarly wordless reply as she simply responded with a cloud emoji, which Miley felt “said everything” it needed to.
She added: “It all said everything. I think she was saying, ‘I’m okay, and I’m here. … Thank you for thinking of me.’ That’s what I think it meant.”
Miley’s comments come after it was revealed Ariana, 25, is worried about her 25-year-old ex after his recent worrying Instagram post.
The comedian – who suffers from bipolar disorder and has previously battled suicidal thoughts – was the subject of a welfare check by the New York Police Department (NYPD) after he wrote on social media that he “doesn’t want to be on this earth any more”.
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.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dua Lipa has discontinued her capsule collections with Nyden.
The ‘Electricity’ hitmaker has decided to end her partnership with the brand to work on something that is more accessible for her fans in 2019.
She tweeted: “Nyden and I have discontinued our work together. I will be announcing something special in the new year that i feel better represents myself and my fans. Thank you for your support xx (sic)”
The 23-year-old pop star was set to create four capsules, including a wide range of sizes, with the H&M-owned affordable luxury brand, and the ‘One Kiss’ singer had been “excited” to get to work on the project because fashion “plays an important role” in her mood both on and off stage.
Speaking to Vogue.com in May, she said: “I mean, when I’m on stage, I always feel the most confident, whether that is in a body suit or whether I’m in trackies.
“My first love is music, but fashion also plays an important role in my life because I believe it’s so vital to self-expression, I look for clothes that reflect strength and fearlessness, but also match up to today’s fast pace. So I’m excited to be co-creating with /Nyden on my designs – it’s going to be a collection that’s completely suited to me, both onstage and off, and for my fans.”
The ‘New Rules’ hitmaker is known for her statement outfits on stage and had claimed the brand had allowed her “total freedom” to create the “cool and effortless pieces from the collection and that it was important to create something “simple” that her fans will feel confident in.
She said: “What I really liked about working together and collaborating with /Nyden is the fact that they allowed me total creative lee-way to create things that I wanted; to make something that I would want to wear, things that I think my fans would really like, I just loved that creative freedom.
“I love the collaboration and I think that’s what you want to do, it’s to create something simple, that’s really cool and effortless and something that everyone can be a part of.”
Stina Force, Creative Director of Nyden, revealed they were keen to work with the singer because of her “fierce attitude”.
Stina said: “Dua is one of the most renowned pop artists in the world today. Her strong and fierce attitude, not to mention distinctive style, make her a perfect fit for the /Nyden tribe and philosophy, Dua’s inspiring outlook and style is why we have chosen to work with her and co-create multiple collections.”
It’s not known if Dua will go it alone for her fashion line or sign up with another brand.

Bruno Tonioli’s conditions for working with Simon Cowell

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Bruno Tonioli would consider working with Simon Cowell on a “new” talent show in the US.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ judge has revealed that the 59-year-old music mogul has been in touch several times to ask him to join ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ and his most recent dance venture, ‘The Greatest Dancer’.
However, he says he’s more likely to work with Simon if he produces a show across the pond.
The 63-year-old star told The Sun newspaper: “I’ve told him (Simon) to come up with something new and we’ll think about it.
“We have discussed these things for a number of years but it has never come to anything concrete.”
Bruno says that it was down to timing that he didn’t agree to join Simon’s first show on the BBC, which sees Cheryl, Oti Mabuse and Matthew Morrison on the panel.
He continued: “You need to be careful when you’ve been on Strictly for 14 weeks, to then go on another show with just a month’s gap for another 10 weeks would be tiresome of the viewers.
“If he made a US version, I’d be more likely to do that.”
Bruno has every faith in ‘The X Factor honcho, to continue to “reinvent” his shows for the better.
He said: “Simon has a got a great capacity to reinvent and he’s got a good eye for what people want.
“I would never discount his ability to come up with something.”
Bruno – who reportedly earns between £200,000 to £250,000 for his current shows – already has a job on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ in America, and his contract is set to expire in 2020.
A insider says this is the prefect opportunity for Simon to drop the dance expert an offer he can’t refuse.
They said: “Bruno is hugely popular with viewers and Simon appreciates getting him on board will be a huge coup.
“Convincing him to leave ‘Strictly’ will be tough but he knows Bruno would consider if the offer excites him.
“He also knows Bruno could majorly improve his salary should he switch channels.”

Brendan O’Carroll turned down ‘Allo ‘Allo remake

By

OHMYGOSSIP — BBC wanted ‘Mrs. Brown’s Boys’ to remake ”Allo ‘Allo’.
Brendan O’Carroll has revealed the the broadcaster was keen for him to swap Anges Brown’s wig and Apron for cafe owner Rene Artoi’s famous waistcoat for a revival of the 1980s sitcom.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: “We were asked to remake ”Allo ‘Allo’ using our cast. I’d have been Rene. it sounded intriguing and I was tempted.
“But down the line, I’d seen some comedy remakes during the last couple of years and I just thought: ‘No. They don’t compare’. It was what it was at the time.”
The BBC’s revamp would’ve seen Brenda’s real-life wife Jennifer Gibney taking on the role of waitress Yvette Carte-Blanche, with other cast members joining in the fun as the likes of Herr Flick, Private Helga and Colonel Kurt von Strohm.
The classic show follows French cafe owner Rene as he’s made to team up with the Gestapo and Resistance during World War Two.
Brendan also turned down the idea because he doesn’t see the need for remakes when the originals are still so beloved by the public.
He explained: “I remember one year when the TV ratings came in and durign one week the most-viewed show on telly that night was a repeat of ‘Mrs. Brown’s Boys’ and the second most popular was ‘Dad’s Army’.
“It shows they still stand uP! I say why re-invent Champagne. You just end up with sparkling wine.”
Meanwhile, he will be back on TV on Christmas Day (25.12.18) for a festive episode of ‘Mrs. Brown’s Boys’.
‘Exotic Mammy’ will air tomorrow on BBC One at 10.15pm.

Kardashian-Jenner sisters axe apps

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — The Kardashian-Jenner sisters are shutting down their apps.
Kim Kardashian West, Khloé Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian and Kylie Jenner have made the “difficult decision” to stop updating their apps, on which they share photos, videos, recipes and healthy living tips, from next year.
In a statement, Kim wrote on her website: “We’ve had an incredible experience connecting with all of you through our apps these past few years but have made the difficult decision to no longer continue updating in 2019.
“We truly hope you’ve enjoyed this journey as much as we have, and we look forward to what’s ahead.”
The family’s decision comes after their sister Kendall Jenner shut down her app last year.
The Kardashian-Jenner clan launched their apps in 2015 to give fans the opportunity to see exclusive photos and parts of their lives which hadn’t made it onto ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’, for $2.99 a month.
This comes just eight months after Kim confirmed the closure of all the DASH clothing boutique stores she owns with her sisters, after they shut down their New York branch in December 2016.
In a post on her app, she wrote: “After nearly 12 years, my sisters and I have decided to close the doors of our DASH stores. We opened our first store as a family in 2006 and since then we have made so many lifelong memories. From opening locations in Los Angeles, Miami and New York, to having our Dash Dolls spin-off show, it’s been such a huge part of our lives.
“We’ve loved running DASH, but in the last few years we’ve all grown so much individually. We’ve been busy running our own brands, as well as being moms and balancing work with our families. We know in our hearts that it’s time to move on.
“We love our DASH Dolls and are so grateful for the amazing memories – and we have to give a special thanks to the DASH employees and all of the incredible fans and customers who have supported us throughout the years! We couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you to everyone! (sic)”

Sandra Bullock’s crush on Speed co-star Keanu Reeves

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Sandra Bullock found it “really hard” to do her job in ‘Speed’ because she had a huge crush on co-star Keanu Reeves.
The ‘Ocean’s 8’ star has confessed she couldn’t keep her eyes off the “handsome” and “sweet” actor, who played the lead role of Los Angeles police officer Jack in the 1994 disaster movie, and struggled to be “serious” during filming the intense flick.
Appearing on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’, she admitted: “I think about how sweet Keanu Reeves was and how handsome.
“It was really hard for me to be serious [during the filming of ‘Speed’]. He would look at me and I’d [giggle].”
When host Ellen quizzed the 54-year-old actress on whether or not she got to date Keanu, who is the same age as her, she replied: “Never. I guess there was something about me that he didn’t like.”
Meanwhile, Sandra – who has adopted children Louis, eight, and six-year-old Laila – opened up about the devastating death of her father John Bullock, who passed away at the age of 93 in September, and her two dogs within weeks.
She said: “My dad died. While my dad was dying we get a call … that our Dog Ruby, the two-legger, had a stroke.”
A few days later, she was told: “Your other dog has a heart tumour and she’s going to die in three days.”
The ‘Proposal’ star revealed how it all hit her days later and she burst out crying whilst taking a bath.
She recalled: “A week later I’m in the bathtub crying and the kids are like, ‘Is mommy okay?’ It’s life.”
