Lupita Nyong’o’s red carpet looks based on Patrick Bateman

OHMYGOSSIP — Lupita Nyong’o’s red carpet looks for ‘Us’ were inspired by “Patrick Bateman and a chainsaw”.
The 36-year-old actress plays both the lead character and the main villain in Jordan Peele’s much-anticipated horror movie, which follows the story of a family faced with their worst nightmare when they return to the mother’s childhood home.
And according to the star’s stylist Micaela Erlanger, Lupita’s press tour style was based on the 2000 hit film, ‘American Psycho’ and Christian Bale’s serial killer character.
Speaking to Vogue UK, she said: “We really wanted to have fun with this tour and capture the duality of the characters in the film.
“It reminded me of the infamous [American Psycho] scene with Patrick Bateman and a chainsaw. But we made it fashion, of course!”
Erlanger also insisted that the red carpet was an excuse to “take risks” with Lupita’s fashion as it followed from the ‘Black Panther’ press tour.
She added: “The red carpet doesn’t need to be this precious thing. It’s an opportunity to have fun, take risks, and express yourself. It was really fun to follow Black Panther with a tour for a horror film.”
Lupita’s hairstylist Camille Friend previously admitted that the star’s hair looks were created to be “modern” and “natural” for her two roles as Adelaide Wilson and her villainous doppelgänger, Red.
Speaking to the New York Post newspaper’s Page Six column, Friend said: “Jordan is one of the best filmmakers of our time. He’s really an awesome, awesome guy. I can’t wait to do another film with him, but a lot of my dialogue for Lupita’s look was really with her.
“We came up with the sisterlock [hairstyle] because she wanted to do something that was natural, plus I love it because it’s nothing that has been seen on camera before.
“We’re always trying to push the envelope and do things that are different, even within the natural [hair] genre. It represents her as a woman. It’s really modern and what people are doing now.”

Howard Donald’s toddler son wants to see Take That tour

OHMYGOSSIP — Howard Donald’s three-year-old son wants to see the Take That 2019 tour.
The 50-year-old singer has two sons, three-year-old Bowie and Dougie, two, with his wife Katie Halil and the slightly older one is keen to see his dad in action on the upcoming ‘Greatest Hits Live’ tour but Howard thinks his lad will be fast asleep before he and his bandmates hit the stage.
Howard also has two daughters, Grace, 20, and Lola, 14, from previous relationships and they both love coming to see him, Gary Barlow and Mark Owen do their thing on stage.
In an interview on UKTV show ‘Lorraine’, the ‘Back For Good’ hitmaker said: “The three year old and two year old are just about getting it. The three year old is interested in wanting to come and see the show. But he will probably be asleep by the time the support act is on so he won’t get to see it. The older ones, they love getting involved! They love the dancing, they love the singing.”
Take That reformed in 2005 after almost 10 years apart and Howard admits he is still blown away by the support the group have received from their fans, both old and new.
He said: “Seeing all those people and knowing they are still there for us is incredible. Not many groups can do it and we’ve done it. It’s about appreciating life and appreciating what we’ve got and knowing how lucky we were in the beginning when we got put in those positions. When we started I was 21, I was quite a baby!”

Dame Judi Dench wants Idris Elba to play Bond

OHMYGOSSIP — Dame Judi Dench thinks Idris Elba would be a “brilliant” James Bond.
The 84-year-old actress – who played MI6 chief ‘M’ in seven Bond films before her character met her end in 2012’s ‘Skyfall’ – is certain that Idris, 46, would be the perfect candidate to take over from Daniel Craig as 007 once he makes his final appearance as the spy in ‘Bond 25’.
Judi worked with the ‘Luther’ star on the upcoming big screen adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Cats’ – in which the pair will play Old Deuteronomy and Macavity – and couldn’t resist making a joke about the incessant Bond speculation.
In an interview with The Daily Telegraph newspaper, she said: “Oh I think he would be a brilliant Bond. When we filmed ‘Cats’ he kept saying to me ‘Will you send me to the Heaviside layer?’ [A reference to a song from the musical] And at one point I turned to him and said ‘No: I’ll send you to MI6!’ ”
Another strong contender for the coveted role is Richard Madden, following after his award-winning performance in the BBC drama ‘The Bodyguard’, however, he doesn’t have Dench’s backing.
Discussing his chances, she simply stated: “I don’t know Richard Madden.”
The ‘Red Joan’ star believes the franchise will evolve with the times as it continues and she “doesn’t expect” the future Bond films will include the character’s trademark sexist quips although she fears by removing them the series won’t reflect Ian Fleming’s novels on which the films are based.
She said: “I don’t expect Bond will do that anymore. But then it won’t be Ian Fleming if he’s not going to do that will it? And it would all get very serious. But it’s a decision they’ll have to make, isn’t it.”

Jhene Aiko confirms split from Big Sean

OHMYGOSSIP — Jhene Aiko has confirmed that she and Big Sean have split.
Five months after break-up rumors started, the 31-year-old American singer has admitted that she and Big Sean, also 31, are over but she insists the pair are still on “good” terms.
She wrote on her Instagram account: “Me and Sean are good. I’ve got tons of love for him. my next album is all freestyles where I touch on many subjects and relationships … past, present and future. I know you all love the drama and would like to think everything I do or say is about him, but I’ve been through plenty of other things and situations that I pull inspiration from when I sit down to create a song. Have a good day. (sic)”
The couple had dated for two years but split speculation started when Jhene had a large tricep tattoo of the hip hop star covered up last November.
At the time she played down the claims, saying she had the swirling galaxy inking to hide a number of old tattoos.
She previously wrote on Instagram: “I covered ALL my tats w/ a big ass Dragon w/ a Phoenix wing breathing life and light into a new galaxy. NEW ART! NO BEEF! ALL LOVE! (sic)”
Although Big Sean is yet to comment on the split, he did recently open about recently struggling with his mental health and getting to know himself better.
He said: “I just felt lost. You know what I’m saying? I didn’t know how I got there. I’ve been meditating since I was 17 years old.
“You know, that helps with anxiety, depression all those things. All those things that I felt. But it wasn’t doing it all the way for this, so I knew that this required some special attention.
“So what I did was, I started therapy. I got a good therapist. You know what I’m saying?”

Nicolas Cage’s wife won’t contest annulment request

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicolas Cage’s new wife Erika Koike won’t contest his request for an annulment, which was filed four days after they tied the knot.
The ‘Con Air’ actor – who was previously wed to Alice Kim, Lisa Marie Presley and Patricia Arquette – married Erika in Las Vegas on Saturday (23.03.19) after obtaining a marriage license on the same day, and later filed for an annulment of their union four days later on Wednesday (27.03.19).
And according to The Blast, Nicolas won’t see any protests from Erika, as she reportedly agrees with the decision to nullify their marriage.
Sources told the publication that both Nicolas and Erika think the marriage was a “mistake”, and will Erika on board with the annulment proceedings, it’s now a matter for a judge to decide if there’s grounds to grant an annulment.
Annulments are awarded when a marriage is legally void, which Nicolas is believed to be arguing based on him being intoxicated when the pair wed.
However, court documents filed this week claimed that if an annulment is not awarded, Nicolas will pursue a full legal divorce to terminate the four-day marriage.
Before being romantically linked to Erika in April 2018, the 55-year-old actor had said he was “shocked” when he and Alice – the mother of his 13-year-old son Kal-El – split in January 2016 shortly before he started shooting his movie ‘Mandy’.
He said: “It was a shocker for me – I definitely didn’t see it coming, and those feelings had to go somewhere, so they went into the performance.”
Before marrying Alice, Nicolas – who also has son Weston, 27, with former partner Christina Fulton – was wed to Lisa Marie for several months in 2002 and Patricia from 1995 to 2001 but he doesn’t “count” their marriages as real.
He said: “I don’t really count those two marriages, I don’t think they belong on my record. The real marriage for me was the 14 years I had with Alice and the child we have together.”

Yara Shahidi has a unique perspective on life in America

OHMYGOSSIP — Yara Shahidi says being black and Iranian has given her a “unique perspective” on life in America.
The 19-year-old actress – who was born to an Iranian American father and African American mother – thinks being mixed race has given her an interesting outlook on racism in America as she has been able to experience the prejudices that two different communities have faced.
Referencing President Trump’s so-called Muslim ban – Executive Order 13769 – Yara said: “It’s a unique perspective, being black and Iranian, and coming from two persecuted peoples. On one side of my family is the list of people who can’t enter the US from certain countries and on the other side are those who are familiar with what it’s like being black in America.”
The ‘Black-ish’ star is passionate about using her fame as an actress to educate her fans to the work she does in terms of voting, registration and civil engagement.
And she has been inspired to use her profile for good by the likes of Beyoncé, Margaret Atwood and Tina Tchen, powerful women who use their status to “inform politics through cultural ways”.
Speaking to the latest issue of NET-A-PORTER’s PorterEdit magazine, she said: “The ability to have my day job as an actor, while also connect deeply with the work that I want to do in terms of voting, registration and civil engagement for my generation.
“I’ve seen so many people around me inform politics through cultural ways, and I think that’s the route I’d love to take when I look at people whom I’m fortunate enough to call mentors.”

James Arthur donates £1,000 to terminally ill fan

OHMYGOSSIP — James Arthur has donated £1,000 to a terminally ill fan after he was forced to pull out of his Teenage Cancer Trust show due to “crippling anxiety”.
The 31-year-old musician was due to perform at a charity show for the Teenage Cancer Trust at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Thursday (28.03.19) night, but pulled out just hours before he was due on stage as he admitted he has been suffering from poor mental health.
And after cancelling his performance, James made a £1,000 donation to a GoFundMe page set up for Jade Davis, on which she listed the 10 things she’d most like to do in her life, including meeting James.
Jade, 23, suffers with Type 1 Chiari Malformation, which pushes the lower part of the brain into the spinal canal and means she cannot work, cook, or shower on her own.
Following his donation, Jade took to Twitter to post a screenshot of her GoFundMe page showing his generosity, and wrote: “What an amazing man @JamesArthur23 (sic)”
The ‘Say You Won’t Let Go’ hitmaker had told his fans he was pulling out of the charity concert for the sake of his mental health, which he says has been “badly affecting” him for “days”.
On Twitter, he wrote: “I’m deeply sorry to announce that I’m going to have to pull out of the Teenage Cancer Trust performance tonight.
“I have been feeling crippled by anxiety and poor mental health over the past few days and it’s badly affecting me. I simply cannot perform tonight.”
James then apologised to the Teenage Cancer Trust for dropping out of the show, and declared he is “looking to get help” from a professional for his mental health.
He added: “I would like to profoundly apologise to the amazing Teenage Cancer Trust team, to all that have bought tickets to see me and to the boys from Take That, it was a dream to be able to perform alongside them but devastatingly I cannot perform this evening.
“I promise I will make it up to you and I’m looking to get help for this x”

Vicky McClure thought her Line of Duty audition was ‘terrible’

OHMYGOSSIP — Vicky McClure thought she’d ruined her chances at a role in ‘Line of Duty’ after giving a “terrible” audition.
The 35-year-old actress is set to return as DC Kate Fleming for the fifth series of the BBC drama – which centres around the Anti Corruption unit of a police force – however, she has admitted that before her casting she was convinced she wouldn’t be starring in the show, as she spilled water down herself during her audition.
Speaking on the ‘The Jonathan Ross Show’ – which airs on ITV on Saturday (30.03.19) – she said: “It was a terrible audition, I remember it because I went to get my water and I missed my mouth and I was like ‘If I can’t even take a drink, how are they going to trust me with a massive cop show?'”
The ‘This Is England’ star went on to explain that she finds the auditioning process “daunting” and compared it to “re-interviewing for a job”.
She said: “I find them really daunting, I still do. I go for auditions now and it’s like re-interviewing for a job that you’ve been doing for so long.”
Vicky is pleased that she now gets offered roles thanks to her impressive filmography, but says she still sympathises with rising stars who have to prove themselves in an intimidating environment.
She said: ” It’s hard because you go ‘Just watch my previous work’ and for those who are new to the acting game, it’s great that you’ve got this opportunity but sometimes you’re in front of strangers, they’re sat behind a table, it’s not a very inviting environment sometimes and in order for you to do your best work, you need to feel quite relaxed. It’s tricky, it’s part and parcel of the job, it’s a necessary evil.”

Dani Dyer gets ’emotional’ rewatching Love Island

OHMYGOSSIP — Dani Dyer gets “emotional” when she rewatches ‘Love Island’ episodes.
The 23-year-old reality star appeared on the ITV2 reality series last year where she won the show alongside her boyfriend, Jack Fincham, and she’s now admitted she struggles to watch footage of her time in the infamous villa because it brings back so many memories for her.
Dani said: “We had no idea [we were so popular], you’re living on edge the whole time. When you have a chilled day, you’re like, ‘Well something is going to happen tonight’… It is a reality show and people forget if people were all loved up and happy all the time, people [watching] would be bored.
“People like to see the emotions and the ups and the downs and the journey… It is always emotional watching it [back], I’ll always miss Love Island it has got such a big place in my heart. But there were times when I was in there when I was like, ‘I want to go home.'”
And Dani has insisted that her relationship with her beau Jack is “absolutely fine” following several rumours they were on the verge of a split, although she has also admitted it is “tough” trying to make it work because they still receive so much “attention” from fans of the show.
Speaking during an appearance on ‘The Jonathon Ross Show’ – which airs on Saturday (30.03.19) – the beauty said: “Me and Jack are absolutely fine… We love each other, we are trying to build a relationship from a show where we met which is so bizarre and you have so much attention from it, and you have so many opinions and people go ‘It’s all money, it’s all for fame.’
“It’s just like, ‘Relax, chill, we are just trying to be happy.’ Life is tough so we’re just trying to make it work, that’s all we’re trying to do. We are together, we are so together, we are fine.”

Anton du Beke wants ‘bendy’ partner on Strictly Come Dancing

OHMYGOSSIP — Anton du Beke wants a “bendy” dance partner on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 52-year-old professional dancer has been a mainstay on the BBC Latin and Ballroom dance competition since it began in 2004, and has said that after often being given the older and less flexible females to dance with, he thinks it would be “quite novelty” having a partner he didn’t have to “pick up” at some stage in the show.
Speaking during an appearance on ‘This Morning’ alongside hosts Ruth Langsford – whom he was paired with for the 2017 series – and her husband Eamonn Holmes, Anton said: “They’ve all been ladies of which – I hate to speak about Ruth about this I’m sorry my love – I’ve enjoyed every single moment of everybody I’ve spent time with.
“I wouldn’t mind a bendy one it would – with no disrespect to any of the ladies – I could do with a bendy one for a change and you know it would be quite novelty not to have to pick them up at some stage.”
Ruth, 59, and Anton came in 9th place on the show’s 15th series, and Eamonn, also 59, was keen to find out how the dancer coped with his spouse “flying off the handle or breaking down in tears”.
Anton told him: “Oh we used to get one criticism per effort we would do a dance – I hope you don’t mind me saying this – we would just sort of bubbling on the brink of tears or not tears.
“You could see it and you would do a dance and rehearsal and then finish the dance and I’d go ‘Now listen that was the arms weren’t quite right’
“I could just see her bubbling up tears and I go but the legs were terrific and then they’d settle down and then we’d have another go.”

Stacey Solomon’s mum can’t wait to see the baby that she has made with Joe

OHMYGOSSIP — Stacey Solomon’s mum is “intrigued” to see what baby her daughter and her boyfriend Joe Swash “have made together”.
Fiona Solomon was a guest alongside regular panellist Stacey on ‘Loose Women’ on Friday (29.03.19) as part of the discussion’s show’s Mother’s Day special and she admitted that she is “quite excited” to see what the couple’s first child together is going to look like and joked that it’s “another baby to add to their collection”.

Stacey, 29, already has two sons, Zachary, 10, and Leighton, six, from previous relationships, whilst 37-year-old Joe has 11-year-old son Harry with his ex-partner Emma Sophocleous.
Fiona went on to praise her daughter and admitted she is always amazed by the former ‘X Factor’ contestant’s “incredible” ability to empathise with and care for “a whole range of people”.
The proud parent said: “I think with Stacey there’s something in a person isn’t there when they’re born, and I think what I find quite incredible is her ability to have empathy and understanding and caring for a whole range of people and the connection that she has with people. I don’t think I could make that I think that’s her.”
Stacey recently revealed that she “isn’t in love” with being pregnant and has suffered with “horrific” morning sickness and tiredness since conceiving.
She said: “There are some women who love being pregnant … I don’t feel like that. My hair has gone grey – honestly, it has! I’ve been horrifically sick and I’m so tired. Obviously I’m grateful and I wouldn’t want anyone to think I’m not elated, but I’m not in love with being pregnant.”

Ridley Scott and Sigourney Weaver praise high school Alien play

OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Ridley Scott and Sigourney Weaver have praised students at North Bergen High School in New Jersey for putting on ‘Alien: The Play’.
The teenagers created a social media storm when clips from their stage production of the acclaimed 1979 sci-fi horror film were posted onto Twitter by the play’s director, English teacher Perfecto Cuervo, with the videos quickly going viral.
The astonishing effort was noticed by ‘Alien’ director Scott and the 81-year-old British filmmaker sent a letter to the drama department commending everybody’s efforts.
Scott wrote: “My hat comes off to all of you for all your creativity, imagination and determination to produce such an ambitious show. Thanks for doing Alien, I felt very complimented.”
Sigourney – who portrayed heroine Ripley in the cinematic classic and three sequels – also saw the footage of the play and posted a video on the official ‘Alien’ Twitter account in which she congratulated all the students on their achievement and passed on a message of praise from James Cameron, who directed the first sequel ‘Aliens’.
In the video, the 69-year-old actress said: “I saw a bit of your production of ‘Alien’. I just want to say it looked incredible. You put so much heart and soul into that and the alien, I must say, looked very real to me.
“I just want to send our compliments, not only from me, but from James Cameron and the original screenwriter, Walter Hill. We all say bravo, well done. And just one more thing – you know, the alien might still be around. So when you’re opening your locker, just do it very slowly.”
The school’s play stayed close to the plot of the original movie which tells the story of the crew on the commercial starship Nostromo who, after answering a distress call, unwittingly bring a dangerous extra-terrestrial lifeform on board.
They then must find a way to survive as the deadly Xenomorph begins hunting them one-by-one.

Danny DeVito was insecure about his height

OHMYGOSSIP — Danny Devito always felt insecure about being short.
The diminutive Hollywood star – who measures in at 4ft 10in – had hang ups about being small when he was growing up in New Jersey but he decided to throw himself into drama and embrace his love of acting to give himself more confidence.
In an interview with The Times newspaper, Danny said: “We all have these little things, our insecurities about ourselves. My height and my demeanour. I’m a little rough around the edges. I was always a little shy about it. I kind of went into the mouth of the dragon. Instead of hiding in the background I went up to the front. I said, ‘Here I am. This is what I do.’ ”
Although he had insecurities, the ‘Batman Returns’ actor was never bullied at school and feels lucky to have always had good friends and a loving family behind him.
DeVito – who attended Oratory Preparatory School before training at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, from which he graduated in 1966 – said: “I’m like Jesus, you know what I mean? I lived at home with my mum, I had a bunch of friends I hung around with and she thought I was God. I always had people around me to protect me.”
DeVito can currently be seen playing circus master Max Medici in ‘Dumbo’, which is a remake of classic 1941 Disney animation.
Once he heard that Tim Burton was remaking ‘Dumbo’ – which follows the journey of the titular elephant whose oversized ears means he can fly – the 74-year-old actor decided he had to be in it because he has so many happy memories of watching the original cartoon movie and he respects the director so much.
DeVito – who has now worked with Burton on four films – said: “That moment in the morning when the kids get up and you sit ’em on the sofa with a bowl of cereal and you’re groggy and you haven’t had your coffee yet, and you go get ‘Dumbo’ and stick it into the VCR.
“And Tim and I go way back. There’s a great brotherly kind of camaraderie, you know, even though he’s my baby brother. Sometimes he’s like my dad. And sometimes he’s like my kid.”

Wade Robson’s Michael Jackson allegation timeline disproven by his mother

OHMYGOSSIP — Wade Robson’s timeline of events in his allegations of child sexual abuse against Michael Jackson has allegedly been disproven by his own mother in historic court documents.
The choreographer alleges in the HBO documentary ‘Leaving Neverland’ that the late King of Pop – who died in 2009 – sexually abused him after befriending him as a child.
Wade claims the abuse started when his family went to the Grand Canyon and he stayed behind with the ‘Thriller’ hitmaker, but according to biographer Mike Smallcombe, a court testimony from 1993 shows his mother Joy insisting that Wade did join them on their trip.
Mike has alleged that Wade’s sexual abuse claims are a lie, as Joy testified under oath to say Wade came with her to the Grand Canyon, and therefore did not stay behind with Michael.
Speaking to Mirror Online, Mike said: “In the documentary, Wade Robson described how he and his then 10-year-old sister stayed in Jackson’s bedroom the first two nights they were ever at Neverland in January 1990.
“Wade then claimed that his family left to go to the Grand Canyon, while he stayed behind with Jackson alone at Neverland for the next five days.
“Wade claimed it was then when he was first abused by Jackson, going into graphic detail about what had allegedly happened over the course of several nights.”
Mike believes that Joy has “no reason” to be lying in her own testimony as she freely admitted leaving Wade alone with Michael on other occasions.
He added: “His mother, Joy Robson, testified under oath in a deposition in 1993/1994 in relation to the Jordan ‘Jordy’ Chandler case that Wade had actually gone with them on that trip to the Grand Canyon, before the entire family returned to Neverland for the second time the following weekend.
“Joy Robson had no reason to lie about this; she openly admitted that Wade stayed with Jackson alone on other occasions.
“She could have said, ‘Wade stayed behind with Michael when we went away to the Grand Canyon between weekends’, it wouldn’t have made a difference.”
Joy’s testimony highlights that her “family” joined her on the Grand Canyon trip with no mention of Wade staying behind, and she later claims that the first time she left him alone with the ‘Billie Jean’ hitmaker was in 1993, three years after he alleges the abuse started.
Mike said: “Her words in that deposition were, ‘We went to the ranch for the first weekend, and then we left and went to the Grand Canyon, and we toured. We came back to the ranch for the following weekend’.
“She was asked to elaborate on who had gone to the Grand Canyon, and she said ‘my family’. There was no mention of Wade staying behind.
“To confirm this, later on, she revealed that the first time Wade stayed alone with Jackson at the ranch without her was actually in 1993. She said, ‘My son has never been to the ranch without me up until this year (1993)’.”
Mike – who wrote Michael’s biography ‘Making Michael’ – admits Joy’s testimony doesn’t “categorically rule out” Wade’s allegations, but has made him “wonder” about the story Wade gives in ‘Leaving Neverland’.
He said: “All of this shows that Wade’s story about being abused that first time, while the rest of his family had supposedly left the ranch to go to the Grand Canyon, is false.
“Of course, while this doesn’t categorically rule out that Jackson abused Wade Robson, it does make you wonder if this extremely detailed and key story in the documentary has been fabricated.”

Meghan Trainor ‘forgot’ wedding ring

OHMYGOSSIP — Meghan Trainor “forgot” her ring as she walked her first red carpet since getting married.
The ‘All About That Bass’ hitmaker stepped out without her sparkler from Daryl Sabara at the 2019 GLAAD Media Awards but she insisted it didn’t mean their relationship was on the rocks.
She said: “Now that I’m a wife – I’m sorry, bae – it’s my first red carpet I forgot my ring. So nothing’s wrong. Nobody panic at home – everything’s great. I just simply forgot!”
And the 25-year-old singer has not only got a new husband but a new backing singer aswell as Daryl likes to work with Meghan in the studio.
She added: “He sings backup on every single song I write now. He’s in the tracks, the background tracks, and he actually writes songs with me now too. He’s learning. He’s like, ‘This is my dream,’ because he loves music. So, this is a dream come true.”
The ‘NO’ hitmaker insists she’s not pregnant at the moment but she “totally would” have a kid at the drop of a hat if she could.
She told Entertainment Tonight: “I’m not pregnant! We’re in Spanx, but we’re not pregnant! Oh my god, if I could be pregnant right now, I totally would. And if I could pop out two kids right now, I totally would, but I gotta like, tour one more time, and I’m exhausted … I’m like, ‘Tour, kid, plus this?’ Like, I just won’t have time. When I got married, I was like, ‘Let’s do it!’ Like, I got inspired, and I had to reel it in. I had to be like, ‘Listen,’ so we got a dog. We got another dog!'”
