Keanu Reeves has ‘ideas for days’ about the John Wick franchise

OHMYGOSSIP — Keanu Reeves has “ideas for days” about the future of the ‘John Wick’ franchise.
The 54-year-old actor recently shot ‘John Wick: Chapter 3’ – which is set for release in 2019 – and the Hollywood star is keen to return to the money-spinning series, according to director Chad Stahelski.
Chad told Entertainment Weekly: “I enjoy making these movies because there’s no limit.
“We create our own mythology, and we have a studio that both stays out of our way and supports us on the wacky decisions.”
In the ‘John Wick’ movies, Keanu plays the role of a retired hitman.
And the Hollywood star is apparently eager to return to the franchise, provided ‘John Wick: Chapter 3’ proves to be a box-office success.
Chad explained: “If people go see the movie, and it makes money, and they came back to us, Keanu and I have ideas for days. I could live here for the rest of my career.
“If people like it and want to watch more, I could think of way worse ways to spend your career. But, you know, we’re in the entertainment business. We’ll let the audience figure that out.”
Earlier this year, meanwhile, a synopsis revealed details of ‘John Wick: Chapter 3’.
It read: “John Wick (Keanu Reeves) is on the run for two reasons … he’s being hunted for a global $14 million dollar open contract on his life, and for breaking a central rule: taking a life on Continental Hotel grounds.
“The victim was a member of the High Table who ordered the open contract. John should have already been executed, except the Continental’s manager, Winston, has given him a one-hour grace period before he’s ‘Excommunicado’ – membership revoked, banned from all services and cut off from other members.
“John uses the service industry to stay alive as he fights and kills his way out of New York City. (sic)”

Black Eyed Peas have always felt like a trio

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Black Eyed Peas still felt like a trio even when Fergie was in the band.
The ‘Where Is The Love?’ singer didn’t rejoin the rest of the group for their comeback earlier this year, and will.i.am has insisted it wasn’t a difficult transition going back to the original lineup with Taboo and APL.DE.AP.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column, 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.”
Fergie joined the group in 2002, with the group first getting together 12 years earlier.
The star was offered the chance to join the reunion, but wanted to focus on her 2017 album ‘Double Dutchess’, and Taboo didn’t want to wait after his battle with testicular cancer in 2014.
He explained: “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 Duchess”.
“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.”
She has since been replaced by ‘The Voice Philippines’ finalist Jessica Reynoso, who joined the group for a special 20th anniversary performance.
’20 Years of the Black Eyed Peas’ will air on ITV on Saturday night (22.12.18) at 10pm.

Halsey feels ‘a lil low’ when she’s not on tour

OHMYGOSSIP — Halsey feels “a lil low” when she’s not performing live.
The 24-year-old singer asked fans to share videos from her concerts because she was missing touring, and described playing shows as her “sole purpose” to give everyone “a void” for whatever they need to say.
In a series of posts on Twitter, she wrote: “I just really love being on stage and I get kinda down when I have off time. Playing for you guys is my purpose and without it I get a lil low.
“Thanks for the little pick me up. I love you more than you can imagine. You guys are literally the sole purpose of my existence.
“Everything I do, eat, think, exercise, write, watch, draw is with the intention of becoming better. So I can continue to create experiences in which I feel so very, very connected to you. Thank you.
“When I stand onstage I become a void. a void for you to scream your insecurities and griefs and triumphs and vindication’s directly at/into and I absorb it all and feed rigorously off the connection. you help me understand myself.”
The star joked about a typo in her final message, but her fans appreciated the honest outpouring.
It came after she revealed her single ‘Without Me’ has gone platinum in the US – her 16th to achieve the landmark – and hinted at some plans to show how grateful she is for the support.
She tweeted: “Without Me is platinum!!! and is now my SIXTEENTH @RIAA Certified single… working on a few special things to say thank you to you guys. This s**t is bananas (sic)”
The song references her on/off relationship with G-Eazy, and at one point she even gives a nod to Justin Timberlake’s bitter breakup hit ‘Cry me A River’ with an almost identical lyric to the 2002 track.
She sings: “You don’t have to say just what you did. I already know, I had to go and find out from them.”

David Walliams forced to eat rat burger by Bear Grylls

By

OHMYGOSSIP — David Walliams was forced to eat a rat burger by Bear Grylls when filming the adventurer’s ‘Mission With’ documentary.
The 47-year-old actor says the 44-year-old television presenter cooked and served him a rat burger – which is also the same name of his hit children’s book – for his ITV show.
The ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ judge said: “Bear made me eat a rat. He cooked it first but I would not recommend it. He is saying, ‘Oh it is delicious, it’s wonderful’.
“I am like, ‘It is not’. There is a reason why we don’t eat rats.
“There is quite a pooey after-taste.
“So I have kind of got my just desserts writing a story about Ratburgers and now I have had to eat one.”
David came up with the idea of ‘Ratburger’ – which tells the story of a man, Burger Man Burt, who makes burgers from rodents – after he was left shocked by a ‘BGT’ star who ate live cockroaches as his party trick.
This comes after David’s model ex-wife Lara Stone banned him from rock climbing with Bear in 2012.
David said: “Just after the Thames swim we went to New York.
“Lara had to go for fashion week, and I wanted to get away. I’d had so much ­ attention.
“I’m friends with Bear and he was there too.
“It was only scaling a rock face, but Lara got really upset and said ‘no’.”
In his show, the survival specialist puts eight celebrities to the test and makes them face a 12-day survival mission like nothing they have ever experienced before.
To stay alive the stars must learn how to navigate difficult terrain, build shelter and catch their own food.

Ann Widdecombe rules out I’m A Celebrity due to height phobia

By

-

OHMYGOSSIP — Ann Widdecombe has considered taking part in ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ – but she has ruled herself out because of her height phobia.
The 71-year-old former politician has a “huge” fear of heights so much so she wouldn’t be able to walk over the bridge on the show, which campmates use to go to and from Bushtucker Trials and they use another platform to leave the jungle.
She said: “I’ve thought about the jungle from time to time. My problem is I’ve got huge, huge height phobia.
“I wouldn’t do [the high Bushtucker Trials].
“They wouldn’t ask me to parachute, that’s nonsense at my age, but they would expect me to walk over that bridge.
“And eat those revolting things … urgh.”
But Ann is keen to take part in the ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ tour again, after she had such fun the last time dancing with Craig Revel Horwood, as opposed to her show partner Anton du Beke.
She said: “I wouldn’t mind doing the ‘Strictly’ tour again.
“I danced with Craig [Revel Horwood] on tour. He threw me about even more roughly [than Anton]. Because he’s bigger. He’s built on a much bigger scale.
“Using his normal force had me on the other side of the room.”
Ann previously wowed viewers with her moves on series eight of the Latin and ballroom show in 2010, and she admits the programme “completely changed the course” her retirement was heading in.
Speaking on ITV’s ‘Lorraine’, she added: “The completely changed the course of my retirement.
“If anybody had said to me I was going to appear at the Royal Opera House I would’ve said, ‘Lie down and have an aspirin.’
“I was going to be at home writing and walking on the Moors and doing that sort of thing, that was what I thought my retirement was going to consist of.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Iain Lee has been praised after he helped rescue a man who called into his radio show claiming he had taken an overdose.
The 45-year-old presenter kept the caller, Chris, online for 30 minutes until ambulances found him on Wednesday night (19.12.18), after he phoned into his talkRADIO show ‘The Late Night Alternative with Iain Lee’ .
In the harrowing call, the former ‘RI:SE’ host asked the 59-year-old: “Do you want to die?”
To which he replied: “I really want to discuss it with you.”
After “long periods of silence” during the call – where Iain thought the caller had died – he said: “Chris, I love you brother. You deserve better than this, right?
“Whatever has happened I promise you it can be sorted.
“I guarantee that whatever has happened it can be sorted out. It might not be easy, it might be painful, but it’s better than you doing this.”
Emergency services attended and dealt with the caller after being called by producer Kath.
Tweeting after the incident on Wednesday, Iain wrote: “Tonight we took a call from a man who had taken an overdose. He was lying in a street in Plymouth, dying.
“We managed to keep him online, get a description of what he looked like and was wearing, work out where he was and send an ambulance and police to him.
“Kept him on the phone for 30 minutes while he got harder to understand. Long periods of silence where I thought he had died. F***, that was intense and upsetting. (sic)”
A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall Police said that officers attended and dealt with the caller before he was taken to Derriford Hospital Emergency Department for further treatment.

OHMYGOSSIP — Scott Mills could jump ship from BBC Radio 1 to Heart.
The 44-year-old DJ has reportedly been asked to present the breakfast show on the Global-owned UK commercial radio station, and is said to be “very flattered” by the offer.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: “Negotiations are coming shortly, probably in the New Year. Scott loves working at the BBC but he’s obviously very flattered to hear a commercial station is interested.”
However, after sticking with the BBC for two decades, they are confident he won’t move stations.
An insider at the BBC said: “We think Scott is happy where he is and hopefully he has many more years ahead of him at the BBC.”
Scott recently took over presenting The Official Chart Show – which is live between 4pm and 7pm on Fridays – from Greg James, which had always been his dream role since working in radio.
When it was announced that he would be taking on the job, Scott – who also has his own show on Radio 1, Monday to Thursday between 1pm to 4pm – said: “I was sat with my mum when I got this news, and she actually cried because I’ve been pretending to do the chart show on Radio 1 since I was 8 years old. I’ve filled in on the show so much over the years, and I can’t believe it’s actually mine. I’m beyond excited!”

Robbie Williams films Weight Watchers advert with lookalikes

OHMYGOSSIP — Robbie Williams has filmed an advert for Weight Watchers with a group of lookalikes.
The ‘Let Me Entertain You’ singer was recently announced as the new face of the weight loss and fitness company, which has been rebranded as WW, and the first commercial for the new partnership will see five Robbie doppelgängers recreate his iconic music video for ‘Rock DJ’.
The promo, which was filmed in East Grinstead in West Sussex, England, sees the 44-year-old pop star fail to teach his lookalikes the dance moves for the 2000 video – which saw Robbie strip down to wearing just his racy tiger printed pants.
After inviting them down, he tells them: “Thank you all for coming, guys. We’re all here today to take health back together.
“To show it is not all about 4am work outs in the dark, eating wheatgrass flakes through a straw, or running ultra-marathons wrapped in cling film. Or even my own preferred sport, boxing.”
He’s then seen punching the air, before saying: “It is about how you feel.”
However, after donning matching tracksuits adorned with the ‘I Love My Life’ hitmaker’s initials, they succeed in mastering the routine.
According to a source, the light-hearted video is “hilarious” and shows that Robbie isn’t “afraid” to make fun of himself.
An insider told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “Robbie is never afraid to take the mick out of himself and thought he’d poke fun at his fellow RWs as well.
“Everyone was a good sport and the end product looks hilarious. They’re all chuffed with it.”
Robbie decided to join the WW family to go on a “wellness journey” so he can get “fit and healthy” for his family, friends and fans.
He said: “WW is the first programme that truly feels like it fits with my life. After my back injury last year, I definitely let my healthy habits slip and I felt as though I let myself and my family down. I can’t keep trying the same things and hoping for a different outcome. I trust the history of behaviour science that WW has, and I’m proud to be a new ambassador. Hopefully, others will benefit from my experience.”
And he wrote on Twitter: “Next year I want to get fit and healthy for my family, friends & fans & WW will be my partner on this wellness journey. As a #WWambassador, I’m joining millions around the world building healthy habits for real life. Why are YOU are getting healthy? #MyWhy #ForEveryBody @ww_uk (sic)”

Keke Palmer was ‘horrified’ finding out about oral sex as a child

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Keke Palmer discovered what oral sex is whilst watching DNA-testing talk show ‘Maury’ as a child.
The 25-year-old actress has admitted she used to secretly watch Maury Povich’s daytime programme and ‘The Jerry Springer Show’ growing up, and one day whilst watching an episode of the former show, she came to learn about mouth sex when someone was tested to see if they had partaken in oral.
Asked by Busy Philipps’ about her influences on ‘Busy Tonight’ on Thursday (20.12.18), she confessed: “I don’t think we have anybody on TV like Oprah.
“I definitely grew up watching Jerry Spinger and Maury. He taught me what oral sex was.
“I will never forget the time I was watching Maury. I shouldn’t have been watching Maury, right? But I grew up in a very small mid-western area, so it’s like you just watched those shows.”
The ‘Scream Queens’ star only realised she shouldn’t have been watching the show, when her mother found out and told her to find out what oral sex is, and was left “horrified”.
She recalled: “My mom overheard and was like, ‘Oh my gosh, my daughter’s watching Maury.’ So you know what she did? She said, ‘Do you know what oral sex is?’ And I’m like, ‘No.’ She says, ‘I want you to look up in the dictionary what oral is and what sex is.’ And then I was horrified and I knew I shouldn’t have been watching Maury.”

Steve Carell admits Welcome to Marwen was beyond his imagination

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Steve Carell’s new movie ‘Welcome to Marwen’ is unlike anything he’s “ever imagined”.
The 56-year-old actor stars in the Robert Zemeckis-directed drama, which tells the story of a man struggling with PTSD who creates a fictional village to ease his trauma, and Steve has admitted to being attracted by the film’s unique concept.
He confessed: “What was exciting to me about it is that it’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen or even imagined.”
Steve was first drawn to the project on the strength of the story.
However, he also revealed that the idea of his character existing in the real world and also a fictional one, was a big attraction.
He told Collider: “What interested me, in the first place, was the story itself. And then, when I talked to Robert Zemeckis about what his idea would be for the feature version, it seemed like a great way in.
“My initial hesitation was that the documentary, ‘Marwencol’, was really so complete and so beautiful, that it didn’t seem like it needed to be retold, and certainly not to just do a version of the documentary as a feature.
“But I thought Robert Zemeckis’ idea to expand the fantasy world and bring that to life, made a good case for turning it into a feature and expanding the world scope of it all.”
Steve was also excited by the prospect of working with Robert, who created the ‘Back to the Future’ franchise.
He said: “I was a little overwhelmed. I just decided to take a chance, and I’ve never done that before. I’ve never felt compelled to go after something the way that I did this.”

Mrs Brown’s stars could be next Morecambe and Wise

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Brendan O’Carroll has tipped ‘Mrs. Brown’s Boys’ duo Dermot and Buster to be the next Morecambe and Wise.
The popular sitcom characters – played by Brendan’s son Danny O’Carroll and co-star Paddy Houlihan – are getting their own spin-off film, and the show’s creator has backed the actors to emulate comedy icons Eric and Ernie because of their on-screen chemistry.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: “They are writing a movie about Dermot and Buster as a bit of a spin-off. I think it’s going to be really, really successful.
“What is going to make it successful is that chemistry they have with each other. There is something that they have that is very, very rare. You saw it in Morecambe and Wise.”
Meanwhile, Brendan also revealed he managed to sneak a rude reference past the BBC censors for the upcoming ‘Mrs. Brown’s Boys’ Christmas special.
The episode – titled ‘Exotic Mammy’ – sees Brendan’s alter ego Agnes get given a ‘Maggie’ – an Irish version of Alexa pronounced ‘M’Gee’.
He added: “I called it a Maggie because in Ireland it’s a derogatory term for a lady’s part. It’s a Gee. So I called it a Mag-gie.
“So when it’s going out on TV in the UK people will be going: ‘Oh, it’s called Maggie’ but in Ireland when Mrs. Brown says: ‘Hold on. Let me ask Maggie’, the Irish will be laughing.”
Last year’s Christmas Day special was watched by 6.8 million viewers, with the ‘Downton Abbey’ finale in 2015 being the only programme to beat it in the ratings over the past seven years.
The ‘Mrs Brown’s Boys’ festive special for 2018 will air on Christmas Day (25.12.18) at 10.15pm on BBC1.

Mike Parr’s ‘snide’ Christmas present plan

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Mike Parr buys his friends and family “crap back up presents” to give them if he doesn’t like what they’ve bought him.
The former ‘Emmerdale’ actor – who portrayed Ross Barton on the soap from 2013 to 2018 – likes to buy good and bad Christmas gifts for his pals before making sure he unwraps his present from them first to see if it is “up to standards”, and he then decides which one to hand over to them.
He wrote on Twitter: “Top tip. Get ppl a snide back up present. Get them a good one but also a crap one. Make sure you open yours first and if it’s not up to your standards then do a switcharoo and give them the rubbish one and keep or return the good one. Merry Xmas! 🙂 (sic)”
When one of Mike’s pals questioned whether he had come up with the sneaky scheme himself or got it from comic magazine Viz, the 32-year-old star said it was his own idea but he used to “adore” some of the publication’s top tips.
He tweeted: “Hahahaha mine but I f***in adore viz. my fav one was how you could use a stick and a shredded wheat to make a luffa to save money. (sic)”
Mike made his final ‘Emmerdale’ appearance on November 2nd, and just a few weeks after his last-ever episode aired the actor admitted he was “bored” after being out of work for two months.
He tweeted: “I know there are many factors for why ppl don’t/can’t work but in my experience of not having a job which has almost lasted two months now…. it is boring. So boring. There’s just naff all to do! (sic)”
His former cast mate Samantha Giles (Bernice Blackstock) was quick to reply with words of support, telling him to “hold his nerve”, and adding that “something good will come up”.
When a fan suggested he should have stayed on the soap, she replied: “He was brave to go and he’s an actor so he wants to play lots of roles! Never play safe- life is for living and that means taking risks!! (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Emily Atack says ‘Celebrity Juice’ would be her “dream job”.
The ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ runner-up has been linked to the outrageous ITV panel show after news that team captain Fearne Cotton is stepping down, and she would definitely be interested.
Speaking on ITV’s ‘This Morning’, she said: “There haven’t been any conversations that have happened yet officially, but I’d love that!
“I would love to. I know all those guys so well. I love [Lee Francis] – Keith Lemon – he’s just the best, one of my really good mates!
“I love [Holly Willoughby], I love Fearne, I love all of that group. That would be the dream job, wouldn’t it?”
Meanwhile, ‘The Inbetweeners’ actress was popular with viewers during her recent stint in the jungle, and she admitted it came at the right time after she and her family had a tough year.
She explained: “We had a very difficult time in the family coming up to this, so it was a really nice boost for us all. It’s been so hilarious for them all, stressful I think at times, but it’s given us all this blessing in our lives.”
Emily, 28, learned a lot about herself during her time on the reality show, and she recently revealed she would be deleting all of her photo editing apps after becoming more confident.
She said: “I’ve decided, on social media, I’m deleting all my editing apps.
“You can edit your pictures until you’re blue in the face, I used to slim them down, I used to airbrush them… it was so bad to the point that, you slim it down, but you get completely rumbled because the wall behind you is bent. I’m not doing that anymore.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Catherine Tyldesley has dropped a huge hint she will appear on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The former ‘Coronation Street’ star has admitted she “might pop up at some point” on the Latin and ballroom series because she has always wanted to be a part of the show and is keen to learn to dance after previously “never having the confidence” to do so.
She said: “I’m such a fan. At some point I would love to do it.
“I can’t dance and have never had the confidence – I usually only hit the dance floor after a couple of drinks.
“But it’s something I’ve always wanted to learn.
“It’s an amazing skill to have. So I might pop up at some point.”
Catherine – who played Eva Price on ‘Corrie from 2011 to 2018 – looks set to be busy in the new year after teasing a new show she has signed up for, and the 35-year-old actress admits her alter-ego is “very different” compared to bubbly barmaid Eva.
She added to HELLO! magazine: “I’m ready to embrace new projects. I’m super excited.
“I start filming my new project in January. That’s partly why we’re doing some special things over Christmas, because I’ll be away for a while.
“I can’t wait – it’s extremely well written and my character is very different to Eva.”
Catherine’s latest ‘Strictly’ comments come after she seemed to hint in August that she was set to sign up for the latest series after appearing to promise her parents that she will compete.
In response to a comment telling to partner with Alijaz Skorjanec and win the Glitterball Trophy, she wrote: “I’m on it dad!! Promise! Cheers mum xxx (sic).”

John Thomson on ‘major’ Cold Feet storylines

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — John Thomson promises “major” storylines for ‘Cold Feet’.
The 49-year-old star – who plays Pete Gifford in the comedy drama – is optimistic about the eighth series of the show, which will be the third season since it returned to the small screen in 2016.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, he said: “Series six was fantastic. Seven was a bit like ‘that difficult second album’, a bit of a slow-burn.
“But this one is fantastic, very strong. I can’t say much, but two really major things happen.”
While John has his own opinions about the previous series, he received high praise and awards for his character’s depression storyline.
He admitted: “That was very kind. I didn’t anticipate any of that. I just wanted to do a decent job as an actor.”
His alter ego Pete is a firm favourite with viewers, and the actor has suggested it’s because people see someone they can relate to.
He explained: “I think that’s because he’s kind of hapless and fallible. People identify with fallibility.”
The new episodes were originally meant to air before the end of 2018, but James Nesbitt – who will be back with John and their co-stars Hermione Norris, Robert Bathurst and Fay Ripley – previously confirmed it will be back on ITV next month.
He said: “We’ve just finished series 8, very excited, and that will be coming along next year.”
The actor also suggested the popular show could run for another two seasons, and admitted he’d love to revisit the characters further down the line for another revival.
He added: “Hopefully we’ll do it for another year or two. The idea would be great to bring it back when we’re all 70. It’ll be good to see what happens at that age.”

Peter Gunn praises hard-working Miley Cyrus

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Peter Gunn says Miley Cyrus is the hardest-working star he has ever appeared alongside.
The 55-year-old actor plays hapless teacher Brian Packham on the ITV soap, but before stepping foot on the cobbles he appeared as Oswald Granger in 2009’s ‘Hannah Montana: The Movie’ opposite the then-15-year-old pop star – and he was impressed with how she played gigs across America in between filming the motion picture.
He said: “I have never experienced anyone work so hard and be so disciplined, and she was just 15.
“There were loads of songs in the movie and she never mimed once. She belted it out every single time.
“We would do five days on the movie set and then weekends off. On a Friday Miley would get on a private jet and fly to whatever stadium in the States to do two concerts at the weekend, then she’d be back on set on Monday at 7am word perfect.”
Peter’s pal Peter Chelsom, who directed the film, suggested he would be perfect to portray journalist Oswald, but he eventually had his mum to thank for him being able to take on the role after some red tape nearly meant he couldn’t act in the US.
He added to Mirror Online: “A Disney attorney tried to convince the Screen Actors’ Guild to let me in but you have to make a case that you are the best actor for the job and have evidence.
“I remembered my mum had a scrap book called ‘Peter’s progress’ – every scrap of work I’ve ever done was in there.
“I digitised it and sent it to America. And the attorney was like, ‘This is gold dust, Peter, thanks to your mom.’
“To apply for my visa I went down to the embassy all suited and booted, expecting to be interviewed.
“I sat down in this booth and the lady just said, ‘So, Hannah Montanna’.
“So I said ‘yes’, and she said, ‘have a great time’ and stamped my documents. That is the power of Hannah Montana.”
