OHMYGOSSIP — The first official poster for the ‘Sonic the Hedgehog’ film has been unveiled.
Sega’s iconic video game character is coming to the big screen in a semi-live-action adventure from Paramount and fans have now got the first sneak peak of what the blue super-speedster will look like.
The silhouette of Sonic shows him drawn in a more realistic light than his console counterpart with muscular legs and a powerful arms and more human-like.
Ben Schwartz is voicing Sonic in the project, with Jim Carrey on-board as Dr. Robotnik and James Marsden playing Tom Wachowski.
The story will see a police officer in the rural town of Green Hills help Sonic escape from the government who is looking to capture him.
The movie will be helmed by first-time feature director Jeff Fowler, who is best known for the 2005 Oscar-nominated short ‘Gopher Broke’. Neal H. Moritz is producing the CGI animation under his Original Film banner, while ‘Deadpool’ director Tim Miller will serve as executive producer alongside Toby Ascher, and Dmitri Johnson and Dan Jevons will co-produce.
Sonic made his video game debut on the 16-bit Sega Mega Drive console, with the character created by Sega as a response to rival Nintendo’s hugely popular ‘Super Mario Bros.’ series of platform titles.
The character has gone on to appear in a host of sequels and spin-off games and after Sega stopped making consoles he featured in titles released for Nintendo systems and other consoles.
Sonic has previously appeared in a number of animated series including 1993’s ‘Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog’ and he had cameos in Disney’s 2012 animation ‘Wreck-It Ralph’ and 2018 sequel ‘Ralph Breaks the Internet’.
The film is scheduled to be released in November 2019.

Sophia Bush slams One Tree Hill producers over ‘ugly’ treatment following her divorce

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Sophia Bush has slammed ‘One Tree Hill’ producers for creating an “ugly” environment on the show following her split from co-star Chad Michael Murray.
The 36-year-old actress starred as Brooke Davis in the drama series from 2003 to 2012, and has hit out at the show’s producers for being “really deeply inappropriate” to both her and her former spouse Chad – who played Lucas Scott, and who was married to Sophia from 2005 to 2006 – in the wake of their split.
She said: “They ran like TV ads about it, it was really ugly. They made practice of taking advantage of people’s personal lives, and not just for me and for my ex, for other actors on the show who would share as you do when you get close to people. Deeply personal things that were happening in their lives and they would wind up in storylines. It wasn’t OK.
“It was opportunistic and ugly. When you run a show, you’re like a parent, you’re supposed to protect your flock, and it was the opposite of that. And I imagine that was hard for him as well, you know? It was a very ugly situation on their part. I think they kind of lived for the drama.”
Sophia doesn’t often talk about her former marriage, and says she doesn’t like to be reminded of the things she did when she was “21 and stupid”.
Speaking to Dax Shepard on his ‘Armchair Expert’ podcast, she said: “The reason why I don’t talk about it, A. is because everyone’s been 21 and stupid, but if you’re in our job, for some reason, people wanna talk to you about like, when you’re fully-fledged adults who’ve done really amazing s**t with your lives, they wanna talk to you about the dumb thing you did in college basically. Which doesn’t make sense to me, because like, in any other realm, if a CEO is having a meeting, no one’s gonna ask about the time they went to a kegger in college.”
Previously, the ‘Chicago P.D.’ actress claimed she felt pressured into marrying Chad.
When asked how long she had been dating Chad before they married, Sophia said: “I don’t even know. And it was not a thing I actually really wanted to do.”

Alexis Ren splits from Alan Bersten

OHMYGOSSIP — Alexis Ren has split from Alan Bersten.
The 22-year-old model began romancing the professional dancer after they were paired together on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ this year, but has now seemingly confirmed they’ve gone their separate ways as they’re focusing on “growing as individuals” for the time being.
When one fan asked on Instagram if the couple were “done”, Alexis replied: “feelings aren’t black and white and neither is life. We’re focused on our careers and growing as individuals. He’s an amazing person and I’m grateful he came into my life. He’s on his own journey and I respect that. (sic)”
And a source later confirmed to People magazine that their relationship was put under strain due to their hectic schedules.
They said: “Alexis has been in Japan working and Alan is in LA rehearsing for the ‘DWTS’ tour, so it’s hard to date when you’re in separate countries. They care about each other a lot, though, and they continue to be close and talk regularly. No matter what, they plan to always remain in each other’s lives.”
Alexis and Alan were first linked during their time together on the dance competition, and although they played down rumours at first, the ‘Sports Illustrated’ model later admitted she was “developing feelings” for her dance partner.
She said in October: “Alan, he’s awesome. He’s super outgoing. He’s definitely been a really good reflection for me, to not take myself too seriously … we’re cute dorks.
“It’s so much fun to dance with someone who you have a connection with. It’s almost like time slows down. We communicate not just through our steps or our movements but with our hearts too. I am developing feelings for Alan, and I didn’t see this one coming. It happened really quickly though, so I think I’m still trying to process it.”

Wells Adams sends message of support to Sarah Hyland

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Wells Adams has encouraged Sarah Hyland to “remember how awesome” she is, after opening up about her second kidney transplant.
The 28-year-old actress recently revealed she was left feeling suicial when she was forced to have a second operation after her body rejected the first organ, donated by her father, following a series of infections and fevers.
And now, her boyfriend Wells, 33, has taken to Instagram to post a message of support for the ‘Modern Family’ star – who was struck by further tragedy earlier this month when her 14-year-old cousin was killed in an alleged motor vehicle homicide.
Posting a picture of the pair of them, the former ‘Bachelorette’ star wrote on the photo sharing app: “This beautiful specimen has had a tough couple of weeks. I’m here to remind you @sarahhyland that there is light amongst all the darkness. If you ever doubt that, just look at this picture and remember how awesome we are. Throw on some sweats, order some Postmates and put on Home Alone. I’ll be home soon. (sic)”
Sarah had recently revealed that attempts to treat her – including going on dialysis for the first time – also caused her to suffer from ill health until February last year, when her younger brother Ian was found to be a match and willing to donate his organ to her.
However, she explained: “When a family member gives you a second chance at life, and it fails, it almost feels like it’s your fault. It’s not.
“But it does. For a long time, I was contemplating suicide, because I didn’t want to fail my little brother like I failed my dad… I had gone through [my whole life] of always being a burden, of always having to be looked after, having to be cared for.”
Sarah also admitted that Wells – whom she met just three days before she underwent the second surgery in September 2017 – has been a wonderful support system to her.
She added: “He’s seen me at my worst. I think that’s why I feel the most beautiful in his eyes, because he still finds me beautiful after seeing all that.”

Diane Kruger reveals baby’s gender

OHMYGOSSIP — Diane Kruger has revealed her newborn baby is a girl.
The 42-year-old actress recently welcomed her first child with her boyfriend Norman Reedus, and has now revealed the sex of the baby – whose name is still not known to the public – as she used female pronouns whilst talking about her tot this week.
Diane told ‘Extra’: “She’s very little, but I’m tired. I feel like a superhero right now.”
The ‘Welcome to Marwen’ actress and Norman – who already has a 19-year-old son called Mingus with his ex-partner Helena Christensen – have yet to release any other details on their bundle of joy, such as a name or date of birth, but news of the tot’s arrival was first reported at the beginning of November.
Diane and her 49-year-old partner have made a conscious effort to keep their baby news under wraps over recent months, with neither of the high-profile couple discussing Diane’s pregnancy in public.
However, the ‘National Treasure’ actress had been seen in various pictures sporting a discernible baby bump.
Following news of the tot’s birth, Diane took to Instagram in late November to ring in the American holiday of Thanksgiving (22.11.18), where she said she was “lucky” to have met ‘Walking Dead’ actor Norman.
She wrote: “Favorite time of the year. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I have A LOT to be thankful for this year and I count my lucky stars to have met you @bigbaldhead and for sharing life’s many blessings with you (sic)”
Meanwhile, Diane previously admitted that her relationship with Norman is markedly different to her previous romances, saying she’s no longer willing to make “a lot of compromises”.
She shared: “There are certain things I won’t accept anymore.
“I think when you’re in a long-term relationship, you start making excuses, and you’re making a lot of compromises – which obviously you need to make to make things work – but I think there are certain things that I’ve learned I don’t want to accept anymore.
“The older I get, it’s about focusing on the people that I have left: my mom, my brother, my grandfather and my boyfriend. I just want to be present in my life and not try to project so much into the future.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Gisele Bundchen feels “so lucky” to be a mother.
The 38-year-old supermodel took to Instagram over the weekend to heap praise on her son Benjamin Rein – whom she has with her husband Tom Brady – as he celebrated his ninth birthday, saying she’s blessed to be a mother to her brood.

Miley Cyrus was a ‘troll’ to Hailey Baldwin growing up

By
Ohmygossip.com

OHMYGOSSIP — Miley Cyrus was Hailey Baldwin’s “biggest troll” growing up.
The ‘Malibu’ hitmaker and the 22-year-old model – who recently changed her name to Hailey Bieber following her marriage to Justin Bieber – were close friends as children, and Miley has admitted she and Hailey’s older sister Alaia would be “evil” to the blonde beauty.
She said: “I would be evil to [Hailey]. She would try to play with us, like me and Alaia [Baldwin, Hailey’s older sister], and then we would lock her out of the room and be evil.”
But the 26-year-old singer defended her past actions, and said being mean to Hailey as children set her up to be “stronger” in the face of Internet trolls now that she’s famous.
Miley added: “I had to. It made you who you are, you know? It made you stronger. Now you can always take, like, the trolls and s**t. ‘Cause I was such a troll.”
And Hailey agreed, crediting Miley with making sure she knew how to handle herself in the spotlight.
Speaking in an episode of Apple Music’s ‘Carpool Karaoke: The Series’ – which is a spin-off of the popular segment featured in ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden’ – alongside her best friend Kendall Jenner, Hailey said: “Miley was the biggest troll to me. She prepared me for this industry!”
Meanwhile, Hailey recently revealed she “can’t wait” to start a family with her ‘Sorry’ hitmaker husband Justin, 24, after tying the knot this year.
She said: “I love kids and I can’t wait to have my own. I would say now that’s a closer reality.”

Megan Fox: I’d be ‘victim-shamed’ if I shared my MeToo story

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Megan Fox thinks she’d be “victim-shamed” if she was to come forward with her own #MeToo experiences.
The 32-year-old actress has claimed the reason she hasn’t joined the dozens of women speaking out about alleged sexual misconduct in Hollywood is because she thinks she’d be painted as an “unsympathetic victim”.
She said: “I didn’t speak out for many reasons. I just didn’t think based on how I’d been received by people, and by feminists, that I would be a sympathetic victim.
“I thought if ever there were a time when the world would agree that it’s appropriate to victim-shame someone, it would be when I came forward with my story.”
The ‘Transformers’ star claims she has “quite a few stories” involving sexual misconduct that she could tell, but insisted she wouldn’t be commenting on them in public as she doesn’t believe it’s her “job to punish someone” for their past actions.
She added: “I don’t feel it’s my job to punish someone because they did something bad to me. I’m not the universal hammer of justice.”
But although she might not be speaking out about her past, Megan is determined to raise her sons – Noah, six, Bodhi, four, and Journey, two, all of whom she has with husband Brian Austin Green – to respect women.
Speaking to The New York Times newspaper, she said: “I’m the window through which they see all women now. I’m the introduction to the divine feminine. And if they feel safe with me as the main woman in their life, it’s likely they’ll feel safe with women in general. If they see their father being respectful of me, it’s likely that’s what they’ll think all men should do.
“It sounds simple, but it’s probably not.”

Jennifer Garner ‘slows things down’ with John Miller

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Garner has “slowed things down” with John Miller.
The 46-year-old actress struck up a relationship with the CEO in October this year amid the finalisation of her divorce from Ben Affleck – with whom she has Violet, 12, Seraphina, nine, and Samuel, six – but it has now been claimed the pair have taken a step back, as Jennifer isn’t “ready for anything too serious” right now.
A source said: Jen has slowed things down with John Miller since the word got out they were dating. Jen’s children, career and Ben [Affleck] are her main focus at the moment and she is not ready for anything too serious.”
The ‘Peppermint’ star has reportedly told friends she “doesn’t want to be deeply committed” to anyone, as she’s too busy with her family and career, as well as being a helping hand to her ex-husband Ben, as he continues to recover following his admission into rehab earlier this year.
Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight’, the insider added: “Privately, she has told friends she doesn’t want to be deeply committed at the moment. She wants to focus on family, career and getting Ben back on track. She enjoys her time with John but she has concerns of moving too quickly because she doesn’t want to be disappointed. Her friends are in full support of her stepping back a bit because they all know relationships take a lot of work and right now her plate is full.
“She still communicates with Ben almost daily because his sobriety is so important, she wants be a strong support and he leans on her a lot. She truly is a great friend to him and an amazing mother.”
Jennifer and the ‘Justice League’ star – who tied the knot in 2005 – officially ended their marriage in November after first announcing their intention to file for divorce in 2015, two years before actually filing in April 2017.
A source said at the time: “Ben regrets so many of his actions in the past. He loves his family and knows his priority should have been them all along. The good news is that they work incredibly hard on keeping their family unit working for the children, despite the fact they are no longer married.”

Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell want their daughters to be kind

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell want their daughters to be charitable towards others.
The 43-year-old actor and his wife – who have five-year-old Lincoln and three-year-old Delta together – don’t want their children to feel “privileged”, and would rather they were able to help others.
He told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “We’re in an interesting situation where our kids are pretty privileged, and we weren’t, and so [we’re] trying to instill in them what we picked up along the way.
“You gotta be conscious of that and, you know, put an effort into explaining to them, like, ‘Hey, we have a bunch, and there’s a bunch of people who don’t have a bunch.’ ”
Dax recently played the part of Santa Claus for Amazon Deliver across Los Angeles, which included giving gifts to kids at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
He quipped: “A part of it that is motivated by me being an OK person, but really, now that I have kids, you’re always trying to set an example for them that you hope they’ll emulate.
“Because I’m setting other examples that I don’t want them to emulate. So I gotta counteract that.”
Meanwhile, Dax pointed to Kristen, 38, and her own charity work and said he can only hope to achieve a small level of her own generosity.
He added: “She’s a better person than me by a factor of at least six. But still, even if I do one-sixth of what she’s doing, that’s still a lot more than I ever thought I was going to do.”
His comments come after the ‘Frozen’ actress revealed she’s “confident” she “chose the right person”.
She previously said: “[I’m] decidedly confident I chose the right person. He does almost everything in a ‘manly’ way. He can put a pony tail on our five year old’s hair as manly as he can change his break pads in the driveway. Nothing is sexier than him being a good human.
“At first I was attracted to the way he made me feel, and now I’m attracted to the things I learn from him.”

Joe Duttine begged Corrie bosses to avoid Tim and Gina affair

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Joe Duttine begged ‘Coronation Street’ script writers not to let his character cheat on wife Sally Metcalfe.
The 48-year-old actor was disappointed to find out his alter-ego Tim Metcalfe was going to do the dirty on his significant other – played by Sally Dynevor – with Sal’s sister Gina Seddon (Connie Hyde), admitting he feels “quite protective” over Tim and Sally’s relationship.
He said: “I wanted to protect it. As actors you put a lot of time into your character and your relationship and eventually over time you sort of nick them off the writers.
“So when new writers come along and suggest stuff you’re like, ‘No you can’t do that’. So you do feel quite protective over them because you do get positive feedback and with Tim and Sally they’re a likeable couple and it would be a shame to go down that route.”
Joe admits Tim is “utterly devastated” about his infidelity and will confess all to Sally in prison on Christmas Day (25.12.18), but that will not spell the end of the storyline.
He added: “There’s some interesting stuff happening in the new year.”
Connie recently admitted she is hoping Gina and Sally will be able to mend their sisterly bond after her and Tim’s infidelity is revealed, but she found the plot “clever” despite initial “fears”.
She said: “I love Sally so much – we’re best friends. So we both went, ‘Oh no!’
“Actually though, the way it’s been done is clever. It’s not been Machiavellian, which was my fear at first, but it’s been the opposite of that and the story will run for a long time.
“There’s been different peaks and it’s very subtle, so I’m pleased with it. We were just worried that it would affect our relationship as sisters, but actually there’s something that happens down the line that will rectify that.”

Sharon D. Clarke returning to Holby City to celebrate 20th anniversary

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Sharon D. Clarke is returning to ‘Holby City’ to celebrate the medical drama’s 20th anniversary next year.
The 52-year-old actress will be making her first appearance as Dr. Lola Griffin since her departure in 2008 as the BBC One series celebrates the milestone and will feature in one episode to hold a mirror up to ex-husband Dr. Ric Griffin, who is played by longest-serving cast member Hugh Quarshie, reflecting on his years at the hospital.
Clarke has most recently been seen on screen in this year’s series of ‘Doctor Who’ playing Grace O’Brien – the murdered wife of Bradley Walsh’s alter ego Graham O’Brien – but she admits she is thrilled to be “treading the wards” again as Lola and getting the chance to work with Hugh again.
She said: “I spent three-and-a-half happy years playing Lola. She was the kind of woman I would have loved to have seen on my screen when I was growing up. I was very proud to bring her to life and be a part of the ‘Holby’ family. I’m so excited to be treading the wards again, and seeing what Lola will be getting up to for Holby’s 20th Anniversary. Hey, Ric, Lola’s back in town!”
And Lola is not the only former character returning to the programme as part of the anniversary celebrations that will culminate in a very special 1000th episode in autumn 2019.
Denis Lawson will be reprising his role as cardiothoracic consultant Tom Campbell-Gore, last seen towards the end of series six back in 2004.
Having spent the last 14 years rebuilding his reputation, Tom meets old rival Ric, who he must compete against to win crucial funding at an Innovation Conference, and introduces new surgeon Ange Godard (Dawn Steele) to Holby.
Speaking about his comeback, Lawson said: “I have great memories of my time on ‘Holby City’ and I’m delighted to be back on my old stomping ground with the ‘Holby’ cast and crew.”
Simon Harper – Executive Producer of ‘Holby City’ and ‘Casualty’ – says plans are underway to give the audience a “whole year of anniversary treats” and the two confirmed returns are just the start of the surprises.
Harper said: “It’s so exciting to celebrate the continued success of ‘Holby City’ – one of the UK’s most beloved medical dramas. We want to give the audience a whole year of anniversary treats, paying homage to the show’s heritage with some delicious returning characters – but also celebrating the new, working towards the 1000th episode around Bonfire Night… which is set to be an explosive story indeed! It’s a massive thrill to have Denis back, not only as one of our country’s foremost actors but also as one of Holby’s original bad boys in the show’s early years! Tom Campbell-Gore hasn’t changed a bit since he left ‘Holby’ 15 years ago and definitely has some scores to settle with Ric … And it’s such a coup to have Sharon here again too, it’s fantastic too given how in demand she is – not only is she a fabulous actor and a much loved tender, funny ‘Holby’ character but we clearly couldn’t let the anniversary pass without the appearance of one of Ric’s many ex-wives to ruffle his feathers.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dolly Parton’s brother Floyd Parton has died aged 61.
The songwriter passed away on December 6 and in an obituary published by Atchley Funeral Home, of Sevierville, Tennessee, he was hailed as “a renaissance man”, as well as “man of many talents and areas of knowledge”.
The obituary read: “He was an avid outdoorsman and had an abundant knowledge of nature as well as being an incredible cook.”
Among the most famous tracks that Floyd penned during his career was ‘Rockin’ Years’, which was recorded by Dolly and Ricky Van Shelton in 1991.
No cause of death has yet been revealed, and Dolly – who is currently in the midst of promoting the soundtrack to the the Netflix drama ‘Dumplin” – has not yet commented on her brother’s passing.
Floyd’s death comes shortly after the 72-year-old star admitted she feels “grateful” to be alive and that she has no plans to retire because she still enjoys her career so much.
She said: “It’ll happen when it happens. That’s how I feel. I am grateful that I am still here. So many people have more talent than I’ve ever dreamed of having that never get to see dreams come true.
“There’s a whole lot to be said for loving your work and having confidence in yourself. I never once thought of retiring…
“I just hope I fall dead in the middle of a song, hopefully one I wrote, right on stage. That’s the way I go!”
On the other hand, the ‘Jolene’ hitmaker admitted she would think about slowing down if her husband needed her.
Dolly – who has been married to Carl Thomas Dean since 1966 – shared: “If my husband needed me, or someone in my family, I would put him first. I’ve always put myself first and my career first, but if something were to happen to him, I would pull back on that.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Miley Cyrus wants to have a “real relationship” with Ariana Grande.
The ‘Nothing Breaks Like A Heart’ hitmaker teamed up with the pop megastar on a cover of ‘Don’t Dream It’s Over’ last year – which they performed together at the One Love Manchester concert last June, which was organised by Ariana in response to the bombing after her concert at Manchester Arena two weeks earlier – and has revealed the pair have a “new” song, which she’d love to dance to at a club to with the ‘No Tears Left to Cry’ singer.
Rather than work with Ariana, 25, Miley would prefer to befriend her peer as she admits they could both “use a friend” after Miley recently lost her Malibu home in the California wildfires, and Ariana’s ex-boyfriend Mac Miller’s death and split from her fiancé Pete Davidson.
Asked if they plan to collaborate together, Miley, 26, told Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM show on Monday (10.12.18): “She’s here in New York actually and we’ve been texting.
“I just want to go to the club with her. I want to play our new song and go to the club.
“I’ve been trying to start a real relationship and not ask her to work or collaborate too much.
“I feel like she could use a friend and I could use a friend, I’d love to start that relationship with her.”
Meanwhile, the former child star revealed she will be spending the festive holiday in Tennessee with her family and fiancé Liam Hemsworth.
The ‘Wrecking Ball’ singer also admitted that she and the 28-year-old actor are not thinking about planning their wedding anytime soon, due to their busy work schedules.
She said: “I’m very much in this space of work, so not too much.
“He has a new movie coming out too.”

Rodney shared: “Stan Lee has more than one cameo in the movie.”
In fact, Bob gave moviegoers some more specific details about when Stan appears in the film.
He told Collider: “The easiest to spot, because you don’t have to stop the film, is when Peter [Parker] and Miles [Morales] are on the ground on the sidewalk, after they’d fallen from the train, there’s a dog who smells them with a guy who walks over them. That’s Stan again. On his way home from work.
“But then I will say, there are many, many train scenes. Subway shots. If you just pause, he’s in a lot of them. That guy is all over New York. He’s a busy man.”
Meanwhile, Peter Ramsey – the third of the film’s directors – has admitted the creative process behind making the movie was “insanely organic”.
He continued: “It’s all a really free-flowing sort of thing that we all just shepherded along and threw things in the pot, stir, and stir, and taste it. See where we are, then it’ll bounce back to pages.
“It’s one of those things that it’s like, it really was all about the film as a process in and of itself rather than, ‘Here we have a finished script. Now we will do exactly what’s on the page and nothing more.’
“It was much more alive than that.”
