OHMYGOSSIP — Drake wants his bedroom to feature a hot tub, a kitchenette and two adjacent dressing rooms.
The 32-year-old star has started work on his new 35,000 square feet pad in Toronto and he has elaborate plans for the 941 square foot master suite, which is situated on the second floor of the $4 million property.
According to plans obtained by TMZ, the main bedroom will boast a staircase entrance, two dressing rooms and two wardrobes – which make up one large wardrobe area – a steam shower and tub with a skylight above, a kitchenette and two balcony areas complete with an outdoor hot tub.
The ‘God’s Plan’ rapper also has two acres of land, four guest bedrooms, two saunas, a massage room, a ten-car garage, an elevator, a gym, a screening room and a full basketball court.
Aside from building his dream home, the ‘In My Feelings’ singer has been hard at work on his new album which he promised fans will drop in 2019.
Although he only dropped ‘Scorpion’ in June, Drake previously teased fans that he plans to head straight back into the studio after he has a “little break”, following his joint ‘Aubrey & the Three Migos Tour’ with the trap trio, which wrapped up on November 18 in Atlanta, Georgia.
The producer told the crowd at his show at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Canada, earlier this month: “Okay, six shows left. I guess, you know, I guess – I’m gonna tell you what I’m going to do. Because I keep having nights like this that remind me why I love my job so much.
” I promise you that as soon as this tour is over and maybe I take a little break, I’m gonna get right to work on a new album so we can be back right here in Edmonton and have a new party.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Miley Cyrus “feels at the top of her game”.
The 26-year-old singer is currently preparing to release new music and a source close to the American star has revealed she’s feeling better than ever before.
The insider teased: “Miley’s new sound is something a little more organic. She loved the pop, but she went for a more mature sound and sophistication in her new music.”
Miley has already explored different sounds during her career, and she’s currently feeling hugely positive about her return to the music scene.
The actor-turned-singer has wiped her Instagram clean of all but three posts, which hint at an upcoming collaboration with Mark Ronson.
The source told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “Miley has always been great at reinventing herself. She feels at the top of her game.”
Miley – who is engaged to actor Liam Hemsworth – recently lost her house in Malibu due to the California wildfires.
The chart-topping singer tweeted at the time: “Completely devastated by the fires affecting my community. I am one of the lucky ones. My animals and LOVE OF MY LIFE made it out safely & that’s all that matters right now. (sic)”
Despite the devastation, Miley tried to dwell on the positives she could take from the situation.
She wrote: “My house no longer stands but the memories shared with family & friends stand strong.
“I am grateful for all I have left. Sending so much love and gratitude to the firefighters and LA country Sheriff’s department! (sic)”
Liam posted a photograph of their burnt home on Twitter, and he also encouraged his followers to donate to the Malibu Foundation, which provides emergency relief assistance.
The Australian actor wrote on the platform: “It’s been a heartbreaking few days. This is what’s left of my house. Love. Many people in Malibu and surrounding areas in California have lost their homes also and my heart goes out to everyone who was affected by these fires.

OHMYGOSSIP — Khloe Kardashian’s family are still “trying to be civil and nice” with her boyfriend Tristan Thompson following his cheating scandal.
The NBA star was caught on camera getting close to another woman just days before Khloe, 34, gave birth to their daughter True in April, and whilst the couple have worked through their issues, the reality star’s famous family are said to still be getting to grips with Tristan’s actions.
A source said: “Everyone is trying to be civil and nice since Khloé wants them to. Khloé just wants to be supported in the decisions that she makes regarding Tristan.
“She always understood that her family was very upset and defensive after he cheated. That situation was such a nightmare for Khloé at a time that should have been her happiest.”
The ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star has reportedly asked her family for “respect” in whatever decisions she makes regarding her relationship and her seven-month-old daughter.
Speaking to People magazine, the insider added: “Khloé has asked for them to respect whatever decisions she makes for her family, and that’s what they are doing right now.
“[The family accept that] Tristan will always be True’s dad and respect that Khloé is still trying to figure out her life. They are playing nice and being supportive of Khloé,” the source shares of her family. It doesn’t mean that they think Tristan is a great guy.”
Meanwhile, Khloe recently admitted that Tristan’s actions were “f***ed up and disgusting”, but insisted they’ve worked through their issues with “countless hours of help”.
When one fan said they were confused by Khloe’s position on Tristan’s scandal during Sunday’s (25.11.18) episode of ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’, Khloe tweeted: “What he did was f***ed up and disgusting. What you’re watching is over seven months old. We have gone through countless hours of help.”

Jada Pinkett Smith’s mother wanted her to divorce Will Smith

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Jada Pinkett Smith’s mother once questioned her marriage to Will Smith.
The 47-year-old actress has been married to the ‘Suicide Squad’ actor for over two decades, but has now admitted her mother, Adrienne Banfield-Jones, wasn’t always so supportive of their relationship.
Jada spoke about her romance on her Facebook Watch series ‘Red Table Talk’ – where she previously opened up on the rocky patches she has endured with Will – and mentioned that Adrienne had asked her why she doesn’t just get divorced.
The ‘Girls Trip’ star – who has 20-year-old son Jaden, and 18-year-old daughter Willow with Will – recalled: “She was like, ‘Well, why don’t you guys just divorce?’ One of the ideas for me is that we’ve built such a beautiful community, we’ve built such a beautiful family … we do well together. Breaking that group and community up for me? It’s just never an option.”
Jada – who is also step-mother to Will’s son Trey, 26 – says her marriage to Will, 50, hasn’t been “easy”, but the couple know how to “balance it” by understanding the differences between work and home.
She continued: “I won’t say that it’s easy, but one of the things that Will and I take a lot of pride in is being able to balance it by really understanding our family and one another as artists.
“So many of us are doing so many things. Willow’s over here doing that. Trey, Jaden, Will [are off doing other things.] Sometimes we’re in all different parts of the world. But we love doing what we love to do and we flow so much light and power to one another to do it. That’s the thing that keeps us connected.”
And Jada insists that her marriage is a lot deeper than just “romance”.
She said: “Partnering is a lot more than romance. It has a lot to do with survival, resources and just having somebody or somebodies by you that can help you figure it out.”

Rose Byrne thinks Louis CK’s comedy return was ‘too soon’

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Rose Byrne thinks it’s “too soon” for Louis C.K. to make a return.
The 39-year-old actress – who worked with the disgraced comedian on unreleased film ‘I Love You, Daddy’ – has commented on the star’s low-key and unexpected comedy comeback in August after he admitted to several acts of sexual misconduct towards women.
She told the Sydney Morning Herald: “It’s too soon for him to have a surprise one, that’s for sure.
“I think if he’s going to show up, just let everybody know so then they can make a decision, like, ‘I don’t want to see this guy — I’m out.’ ”
The stars’ film is about a prominent TV producer and writer whose daughter is in a relationship with an older director who is rumoured to be a paedophile
It appears it won’t be released for a long time, and while Rose admitted she had a “respectful experience” on set, she agrees with the decision.
She added: “I think it will be a while before that film can be seen, and I think that’s right.”
Last year Louis, 50, was subject to a New York Times expose that claimed he had exposed himself and masturbated in front of at least five women in separate incidents from 2002.
Louis confirmed the allegations about him were “true”, but he felt his behaviour was “OK” at the time because he always asked before exposing himself.
He [previously said: “These stories are true. At the time, I said to myself that what I did was OK because I never showed a woman my d**k without asking first.
“But what I learned later in life, too late, is that when you have power over another person, asking them to look at your d**k isn’t a question. It’s a predicament for them.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Paris Hilton is struggling to shake off her ditsy image.
The 37-year-old socialite claimed she created a particular perception of herself in order to promote ‘The Simple Life’ – the reality TV series in which she starred alongside Nicole Richie – but Paris confessed she’s subsequently struggled to changed the public’s opinion of her.
Speaking to Gay Times magazine, Paris explained: “What most people don’t know is that it was a character that I came up with for the show and created for several reasons.
“I had so much fun doing it and I love being able to prove people differently today.”
‘The Simple Life’ saw Paris and Nicole swap their glamorous lifestyles in Beverly Hills for low-paying jobs in less affluent parts of America.
And Paris has actually been approached about reviving the hit show, although she admits her jam-packed schedule would make it difficult.
The blonde beauty – who has established herself as a credible DJ and as a businesswoman over recent years – shared: “They actually approached me to re-do it again but my schedule was so insane that I didn’t have time to do it so I said no, but it would be pretty epic.”
Paris explained that the show – which ended in 2007 – completely changed her life, giving her the platform to see new parts of the world and to follow some of her other ambitions.
She said: “It changed my whole life since it was the first of its kind. There really was nothing out there like it in the world.
“After that show, I got to go all around the world and it really just started my career in this business.”

Kym Marsh reveals plan to help daughter through first year of parenthood

By

-

OHMYGOSSIP — Kym Marsh’s daughter Emilie Cunliffe will live at home with her mother for the “first year” after her baby is born.
The 21-year-old is expecting her first baby with her boyfriend of six months, but rather than move out of her family home and move in with her man Emilie will stay put with her mum, Kym, 42, so she has some help on hand.
Speaking in the new issue of OK! magazine about living with Kym, Emilie said: “Definitely at least for the first year. I love living with my mum, I get my dinners cooked and my washing done – what’s not to like!”
Kym added: “I’m going to be as hands-on as I can possibly be, but I have said to Emilie that this is her baby so it’s her responsibility. I’ll help out but at the end of the day, I’ll be passing the baby back to her.
“Emilie isn’t silly, she knows there will be tough moments, but I’ve told her that the moment your child says, ‘I love you, Mummy,’ it’ll all be worth it.”
Emilie, who previously auditioned for pop star search show ‘The Voice’, now works as a beautician, and confessed that the birth of her new arrival won’t stop her working as Kym has taught her the “importance” of having her own career.
Opening up about how much time she’ll have off work, Emilie added: “I’ll have to play it by ear, I currently work over 40 hours a week, which I probably won’t be able to do once I have a child.
“I definitely want to go back to work, though – my mum has taught me the importance of working hard to bring in money for your family. I’ve seen how hard she worked and what a great career she’s built for herself and I want the same for myself.”
Kym and Emilie’s full interview appears in this week’s OK! magazine which is out now.

OHMYGOSSIP — Kourtney Kardashian loves to be naked at home.
The 39-year-old reality TV star – who has kids Mason, eight, Penelope, six, and Reign, three, with her ex-boyfriend Scott Disick – has revealed that she feels “very comfortable” in her own skin and is happy to walk around her home without any clothes on.
She shared: “I am very comfortable in my own skin. I like to be naked in my house and I think it is important to show positive images of our body.”
Kourtney is famed for her enviable figure, but the brunette beauty insists she has to work hard in order to stay in shape.
Speaking to GQ Mexico magazine, Kourtney confessed: “Being a mother to me is the most important thing, because it’s what my heart occupies.
“Then I would say exercising – not only for my body, but because it does my mind a lot of good, relaxes me.
“In third place, my favourite activity is travelling because it feeds my soul, followed by nutrition.”
Kourtney revealed she’s experimented with various diets over recent years, but she has become less “strict” about what she eats.
She explained: “I used to do very specific diets. I learned something from all of them and incorporated them into my lifestyle, but I’m not so strict anymore.
“Fifth, I would put the decoration because it is where I express myself creatively.
“Then beauty, not so much from the point of view of make-up, but rather define it as ‘self-care’ – do things to feel better, like a massage, for example. And in the end, it would be fashion – which is my passion – but I don’t give it so much time or attention anymore.”

Amanda Bynes says drugs damaged her self-esteem

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Amanda Bynes’ drug use led her to hate her own appearance.
The 32-year-old actress has spent the last few years away from the spotlight after her drug abuse caused her career to spiral downwards, and Amanda – who claims to have been sober for the last four years – has now revealed how her use of Adderall undermined her ability to perform on the set of the 2011 movie ‘Hall Pass’.
Amanda – who was replaced by Alexandra Daddario shortly after filming began – confessed: “When I was doing ‘Hall Pass’, I remember being in the trailer and I used to chew the Adderall tablets because I thought they made me [more] high [that way].
“I remember chewing on a bunch of them and literally being scatterbrained and not being able to focus on my lines or memorise them for that matter.”
Amanda – who first experimented with drugs during her teenage years – can still vividly remember the drugs causing her to hate her own on-screen appearance.
Despite this, the actress has rubbished suggestions she was fired from the movie.
She told PAPER magazine: “I remember seeing my image on the screen and literally tripping out and thinking my arm looked so fat because it was in the foreground or whatever and I remember rushing off set and thinking, ‘Oh my god, I look so bad.’
“I made a bunch of mistakes but I wasn’t fired. I did leave … it was definitely completely unprofessional of me to walk off and leave them stranded when they’d spent so much money on a set and crew and camera equipment and everything.”
Amanda – who suffered a very public breakdown before entering rehab – remembers having a similar feeling while watching ‘Easy A’, her last film project before her acting hiatus.
She admitted: “I literally couldn’t stand my appearance in that movie and I didn’t like my performance. I was absolutely convinced I needed to stop acting after seeing it.
“I was high on marijuana when I saw that but for some reason it really started to affect me. I don’t know if it was a drug-induced psychosis or what, but it affected my brain in a different way than it affects other people. It absolutely changed my perception of things.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kendall Jenner and Ben Simmons don’t want to put any “stress or pressure” on their relationship.
The 23-year-old model and the Australian basketball star have reportedly been making more of an effort with their relationship over recent weeks, but they’re also eager to ensure they don’t take things too fast.
A source explained: “Kendall and Ben have been making more of an effort in their relationship recently, and have been seeing each other regularly for the last month now.
“They both are very busy with their careers, but have always been in touch.”
Kendall and Ben were rumoured to have ended their romance earlier this year.
But after the American model was recently spotted supporting the sportsman at an NBA game, it’s been revealed that they are simply keen to make sure they don’t rush things or become too intense.
The insider told E! News: “They never had a falling out, it was just always hard for Kendall because of her work schedule.
“They reconnected when Ben was in town recently and have been seeing each other since.
“Kendall really likes Ben and he has been keeping her attention. They try not to put stress or pressure on the relationship, but Kendall isn’t actively seeing anyone else right now.”
Meanwhile, Kendall previously denied rumours she’s a lesbian – but admitted she’s got a “male energy”.
She said: “I don’t think I have a bisexual or gay bone in my body, but I don’t know! Who knows?! I’m all down for experience – not against it whatsoever – but I’ve never been there before.
“Also, I know I have kind of a … male energy? But I don’t want to say that wrong, because I’m not transgender or anything. But I have a tough energy. I move differently. But to answer your question: I’m not gay. I have literally nothing to hide.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Comedian Amy Sedaris is set to voice a completely new character in Disney’s live-action remake of ‘The Lion King’.
According to Variety, the 57-year-old American actress will play an elephant shrew, who is an original character that was not featured in the 1994 animated classic.
The African native mammal gets its name due to the fact it has a long nose that resembles an elephant’s trunk.
Last week, Disney released the first trailer for its highly-anticipated ‘Lion King’ remake.
The teaser of the Jon Favreau-directed movie has been posted on Disney’s official Twitter page and has already attracted more than 18 million views.
The visually spectacular trailer opens with a rising sun and follows various animals rushing across sun-scorched ground to greet lion cub Simba.
Sedaris and Favreau previously worked together on his 2014 film ‘Chef’ and she has experience of voice over work as she lent her dulcet tones to all five seasons of Netflix’s ‘BoJack Horseman’.
Sedaris joins an all-star cast that includes the likes of Donald Glover as a young Simba, Beyonce as Nala and Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen cast as Timon and Pumbaa respectively. James Earl Jones reprises his role as Mufasa from the original film.
As well as keeping Sir Elton John and Tim Rice’s original songs in the upcoming film – which include ‘Can You Feel The Love Tonight’, ‘Be Prepared’ and ‘I Just Can’t Wait To Be King’ – the remake will also feature some new music.
‘Can You Feel the Love Tonight’ went on to win the Best Original Song Oscar, whilst Hans Zimmer was selected to take home the Best Original Score Academy Award.

Miley Cyrus to collaborate with Mark Ronson this week

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Miley Cyrus will drop her collaboration with Mark Ronson on Thursday (29.11.18).
The 26-year-old singer will team up with the ‘Uptown Funk’ musician on a brand new track which will be released this week, as they both took to social media this week to confirm the news.
First, Mark posted a video on Twitter of a disco ball in the shape of a broken heart, which slowly spun as nine seconds of music played, which he captioned: “the heartbreak era is coming….sooner than u think #featuringwho? (sic)”
And the following day, 26-year-old Miley confirmed she was the mystery guest when she posted the same video on her Twitter account.
The caption simply featured this Thursday’s date, and Mark’s Twitter handle, as she wrote: “11/29 @MarkRonson (sic)”
If that wasn’t enough, the duo will perform their new track live on ‘Saturday Night Live’ on December 15.
The American sketch show posted a picture on their own Twitter account with the line up of stars taking part over the next three weeks, which listed Mark Ronson and Miley Cyrus as the musical guests when Matt Damon will work as the host.
Meanwhile, 43-year-old Mark recently revealed he considers himself a “collaborative artist” as he likes to “bounce” ideas off of them, rather than sitting down to write by himself.
He said: “My thing is basically purely collaborative because I rarely sit down and write by myself at the piano. Usually I’m producing an artist and sometimes you’re there to give a lot of the song, sometimes you’re there just to help with a few lyrics, be a bouncing board, give a few chords, help finish the next line. I only know that side of it.”

The 37-year-old musician was due to take to the stage at Los Angeles’ Staples Center on Tuesday (27.11.18) night, but has been forced to postpone the show because of continued vocal chord issues, which have already led him to push back several of the dates on his ‘Man of the Woods’ tour.

He wrote at the time: “Hey guys, I’m sorry to announce I have to postpone the show at MSG tonight on doctor’s orders.
“My vocal cords are severely bruised. I’m gonna make this up to you and the new show will be on my birthday, January 31.
“More info to come. Again I’m so sorry to do this, but excited to see you soon. Love, J”
So far, Justin has rescheduled all his postponed shows except for the newly axed Los Angeles date, which is expected to be rescheduled soon.

Joe Swash gets cockroach out

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Joe Swash has finally had a cockroach removed from his ear.
The ‘I’m A Celebrity… Extra Camp’ host had the creature stuck for two days but hospital staff finally extracted it a few hours ago – and he’s taken the insect home.
Joe had an unsuccessful hospital trip on Sunday (25.11.18) and was told to return when a specialist was available, so in an Instagram story posted from Australia on Tuesday (27.11.18), he documented his return visit.
He said in one clip: “We’re at a new hospital, hopefully today is the day I get rid of my little squatter, he’s been in there two days. Keep your fingers crossed because my ear is starting to stink.”
He then shared another clip featuring the screen that a camera put into his ear broadcast images to and was stunned by what he saw.
He said: “This is the little telly that’s gonna look down my ear drum and you’re gonna see my little friend.”
As the insect came into view, he exclaimed: “Oh my god, look at the size of him, get him out of my ear as quick as possible.”
The 36-year-old star finished documenting his hospital trip with a video of him having the insect removed, along with some ear wax, and ended by showing off a tiny jar with the cockroach trapped inside.
He said: “This little fella is my little squatter that was in my ear. Look at the size of him! That was in my ear. OMG!(sic)”
On ‘Extra Camp’ on Monday (26.11.18) Joe revealed that not only was the cockroach still trapped, it was also starting to “die” and was emitting a foul stench.
Guest Sam Thompson sniffed the actor’s ear and exclaimed: “Oh mate that’s actually rank. I don’t understand how you can live with that in your ear, it’s so intense.”
Joe replied: “You can smell it dying in my ear. But don’t worry though, it’s coming out today.”

Debbie McGee slams Strictly changes

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Debbie McGee has criticised the Couples’ Choice category on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 60-year-old star – who made it to the final of last year’s show with professional partner Giovanni Pernice – doesn’t think it’s fair that classic Latin and ballroom routines are being marked alongside the new routines, which are either Theatre and Jazz, Contemporary or Street Commercial.
However, Debbie doesn’t want to get rid of the new dances but she thinks it would be a better idea to have a special episode where each couple and their choices are pitted against one another.
Speaking on The Telegraph’s ‘Talking Strictly’ podcast, she said: “I think it’s good to introduce something new so that the programme changes, the pictures change.
“I totally agree that the programme is about Latin and Ballroom. But if they want to put something different in, my personal opinion would be well, why don’t they have a night where it’s all the Couples’ Choice?
“I think it would be fairer with the marking than marking against the Samba.”
And former show professional James Jordan – who has insisted the new routines have “no place” on the programme – agreed with Debbie’s suggestion.
He said: “You’re comparing like for like then. Then you compare those dances against each other.”
After James criticised the new routines on Twitter, he revealed he had been inundated with messages of agreement.
He said: “A lot of people agreed with me that that sort of dance shouldn’t be on ‘Strictly’.
“You can’t please everyone. I’m not saying I’m always right, because I’m not always right.”
The upcoming ‘Dancing On Ice’ contestant had criticised Joe Sugg and Dianne Buswell’s hip-hop style performance over the weekend.
He posted: “I like Joe and Dianne but for me this dance has no place on Strictly.
“He did a good job but I can’t really comment on the technique.”
