OHMYGOSSIP — Rita Ora is nervous about unveiling her new album ‘Phoenix’.
The 27-year-old singer finally released the long-awaited follow-up to her 2012 self-titled debut today (23.11.18) and while it’s “very exciting” having the record out there for her fans to enjoy, she admitted she is hoping everyone likes the finished collection.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column at a special launch event earlier this week, she said: “It’s nerve-racking but very exciting too.
“I’m proud of it, but I’ve done all I can so I just hope people like it. It’s great to get to this point and have my family here to share it with me as it’s a big moment for us all – I couldn’t be happier.”
Rita was joined by famous friends at the event, and a fortune teller was on hand – although she wasn’t set on finding out her future.
She teased: “I’m not going in there. I sort of want to, but I’m not going to risk it in case I don’t like what she says.”
The album release comes as the star has had to defend herself over lip-syncing following backlash over her Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade performance in New York City on Thursday (22.11.18).
Lithuanian singer Simonna tweeted: “We all know that Rita Ora can sing! Don’t be so quick to judge! Idk, but it’s possible that tv streaming was late or she was getting different playback or that the sound she was hearing in her headphone was different from what we heard. #MacysParade (sic)”
In response, Rita tweeted: “Exactly!! You got that right! You know this girl doesn’t lip sync it’s not my world! Now let me go find some turkey!! (sic)”
The British star subsequently received support from Macy’s, which explained the reasons for Rita’s much-maligned performance.
The company said on the micro-blogging platform: “During today’s NBC broadcast of the #MacysParade several recording artists experienced technical difficulties that negatively impacted their performance. We apologize and want fans to know these issues were out of the artist’s control. (sic)”

Emmerdale soap star Sandra Marvin says Jessie Grant will have an eventful Christmas

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Sandra Marvin says Christmas is going to be “life changing” for her ‘Emmerdale’ character Jessie Grant.
The actress – who first appeared on the soap in 2017 – has revealed the festive period is going to be very eventful for Jessie and has hinted about Billy’s arrival.
She told Inside Soap: “Jessie has an interesting Christmas coming up. I don’t think she expects her Christmas to go where it does – there are a lot of twists and turns.
“It’s going to change her life! It’d be exciting to have Billy arrive, and Ellis’s dad is out there too. Jessie would be delighted to have all her babies back around her.
“Even though Billy hasn’t turned up yet, we’re hearing lots about him. Jessie really believes in that strong family unit and it breaks her heart a little bit that she doesn’t have that.”
In the meantime, next week’s episodes will explore Jessie’s past as viewers see her reacting badly to Marlon Dingle’s declaration of love for her.
Jessie later confides in Marlon about how she’s never truly moved on from her late first husband, and the couple decide to go together to scatter his ashes to try and bring her some closure.
So far, ‘Emmerdale’ bosses have been secretive about this year’s Christmas storylines but they have promised a huge Dingle wedding.
As Jessie is currently in a relationship with Marlon, it’s possible she could be the mystery bride – but there’s still a chance her big festive storyline could be totally different twist.

Mercedes McQueen will take over The Dog in Hollyoaks

By

-

OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Metcalfe has revealed The Dog In The Pond’s future after Russ Owen’s death on ‘Hollyoaks’.
The 36-year-old has revealed that Mercedes McQueen’s luck could be changing as she will get to keep the pub after Russ (Stuart Manning) handed it over to his wife before his death.
The brunette beauty told The Sun newspaper: “[The McQueens] get the pub. It’d be a shame to take the pub back off them, especially with that mural.”
While Jennifer has hinted at more drama for The Dog, she explained the change in ownership will be a good thing for the village.
She added: “They’re so lively in it, the Nightingales were amazing but this is just something completely different.
“[It’s] good for all the businesses in Hollyoaks just to mix it up now and again… but not The Hutch, you can’t take that off Hutchinson,”
Jennifer suggested that multi-millionaire Russ may not have left Mercedes as much money as she was hoping for.
She teased: “I think she thinks she’s going to get it but she doesn’t get quite as much as she thinks. He just knew what Mercedes was like.”
Jennifer has been playing Mercedes McQueen since 2006, and the character is notorious for her numerous relationships and affairs and her provocative behaviour.
The soap star revealed that she loves donning all the leopard print outfits her alter-ego wears – because she is a huge fan of her character’s out there style herself.
Speaking in a Q&A on the ‘Hollyoaks’ Twitter account, she previously gushed: “The best part is playing my character is that I get to wear loads of leopard print. I, like Mercedes, love leopard print.”

Michael Douglas worried kids could face addiction

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Michael Douglas is worried his younger children could have inherited his addiction genes.
The 74-year-old actor has been to rehab for alcohol and drug addiction himself, as well as losing a younger half-brother to an accidental overdose and seeing his eldest son Cameron, 39, battle a heroin addiction.
And now, the ‘Fatal Attraction’ star has said he’s worried his two children with wife Catherine Zeta-Jones – Dylan, 18, and Carys, 15 – could be susceptible to addiction too, and is making sure they “keep a much closer eye” on their habits.
Speaking to the Daily Express newspaper, he said: “I think you learn about genetics, amongst other things, so you know you have to be more careful. (Addiction is) is on both sides of my family so with my younger ones, they keep a much closer eye on it. I have ongoing conversations about it.”
Michael’s son Cameron was jailed for drug possession in 2010 and had his sentence almost doubled in 2011 after he was found trying to sell prescription pills to other inmates.
Cameron was released in 2016 following lengthy stints in solitary confinement, and the ‘Basic Instinct’ actor recently described the ordeal as “very painful and difficult”, but said he was pleased he has finally turned his life around.
He said: “My son’s struggle was a nightmare. It was stressful for all involved, very painful and difficult.
“He has been out of prison a year and a half and he is actively pursuing his career.
“I am happy to say he is in wonderful shape now.”
Meanwhile, Michael became a grandfather in December when Cameron and his girlfriend Viviane Thibes welcomed daughter Lua into the world, and though he thinks it’s “great”, he isn’t enjoying it as much as he’d hoped to because he’s still got his youngest child living at home so can’t appreciate having a youngster around in the way some other grandparents can.
He told reporters: “It’s great. I mean, not as much as I had hoped because I still got a kid in the house.
“I think you appreciate being a grandparent when everyone is out of the house and it’s empty-nest syndrome, but I still have my daughter with me.”

Paul Young defends Cheryl over copying claim

By

-

OHMYGOSSIP — Paul Young has defended Cheryl amid accusations she’s copied his song ‘Love of the Common People’.
The 62-year-old musician has spoken out after the former Girls Aloud star was met with a backlash for her track ‘Love Made Me Do It’, with critics claiming there is a striking similarity between the two songs.
However, Paul has played down the drama on social media, telling one of his Twitter followers: “I have to say, quite a few people have said this but I’m not getting it!”
Cheryl is listed as one of eight songwriters credited for the song, including Nicola Roberts and Natasha Bedingfield.
The brunette beauty is one of the UK’s best-known pop stars, but she recently admitted that her life could easily have gone down another route.
Cheryl – who was born in the city of Newcastle in North-East England – confessed: “One of my friends is now a primary school teacher, another friend moved away and had a family, but some just went down the line of drugs and unemployment. The area had the highest unemployment rate in the UK two years ago.”
Cheryl also claimed she would quit music if her big comeback proved to be a flop.
The 35-year-old star – who has a 19-month-old son called Bear with her ex-boyfriend Liam Payne – explained becoming mum has changed her outlook on life and has led her to view her career from a new perspective.
Speaking about her comeback single ‘Love Made Me Do It’, she said: “If it goes in at 80, it’s time for me to move on with my life. I’m not going to jump around working hard and spending time away from my son for that.”

Nicole Kidman was ‘lonely’ before meeting Keith Urban

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicole Kidman was “very lonely” before she met Keith Urban.
The 51-year-old actress married Keith in 2006, five years after divorcing first husband Tom Cruise, and has said she felt so lonely before meeting the country star, that she made it her mission to “try and meet her partner”.
She said: “In my case, I went and met somebody and fell in love and had a whole different path in terms of what I wanted to do.
“I was very lonely and I didn’t want to be. So I went, ‘Okay, I’m going to try and meet my partner’, and that takes time. It can’t be working all the time and flitting around the world.”
The ‘Big Little Lies’ star now has daughters Sunday Rose, 10, and Faith, seven, with Keith, and couldn’t be happier with her “unbelievable blessings”.
Nicole – who is also mother to Isabella, 25, and Connor, 23, whom she adopted during her marriage to Tom – added: “I managed to meet a wonderful man and I now have two children out of that marriage which has given me incredible nourishment and unbelievable blessings to have them.
“It highlighted to me the idea that I needed to go and have more of a real life because I had an incredible artistic life, I just didn’t have the balance there.”
Nicole says she even considered quitting Hollywood when she settled down and started a family with Keith, but after her mother said she would “want to keep” her job, she realised she didn’t want to quit her career completely.
Speaking at her ‘Life in Pictures’ talk at Bafta in London, she said: “I’d had my daughter who’s now 10 and I was living in Nashville on a farm and I’d had the whole pregnancy growing vegetables.
“I said to my mother, ‘I’m done’. She was like, ‘Hmm, I think you’re going to want to keep your job’, and it was fantastic advice because as a woman, yes, you’re in this place now but it’s best to keep your toe in your career because I think you’re going to want to be able to go back to it.
“I’m so glad I have a very opinionated and strong mother who’s very wise. I bristle but I do listen to her.”

Stephen Fry: I’m very sensitive to criticism

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Stephen Fry is “very sensitive” to criticism.
The 61-year-old actor has admitted to having a love-hate relationship with social media and Twitter in particular, but Stephen also conceded that his sensitivity is “pathetic”.
Asked about his use of Twitter, Stephen – who has previously deleted his account before returning to the micro-blogging platform – told ‘The Graham Norton Show’: “I am on it but the difference now is that I don’t engage with it very much because of the comments and the unkindness. I am very sensitive. It’s pathetic after all these years, but I am.”
Stephen previously insisted he wished he could escape his own fame.
But the British actor – who starred alongside Hugh Laurie as part of the comedy double act Fry and Laurie – also conceded that his inability to turn down interviews has affected his acting career.
He explained: “People say I play myself. I think the trouble is I have no gift of being mysterious – I wish I could be like my friend Hugh, who just says no to interview requests. Hugh can do it, Clint Eastwood can do it, so when they are on screen you don’t know whether they are being themselves, because you don’t know who they are.
“Why can’t I do that? I can’t do it. I don’t have it in me. I do this w***y stuff day after day after day, being interviewed by you or, God help us, Pamela Stephenson or some other person, so when I play a character they go: oh, it’s just Stephen Fry in a beard. I’ve done that to myself, I think you could say.”

Mumford and Sons say new Delta defines career

By

-

OHMYGOSSIP — Mumford & Sons say their new album is the start of a new chapter.
The folk rockers – who consist of Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett, Winston Marshall and Ted Dwane – have revealed that their new critically acclaimed album ‘Delta’ represents a defining moment in their musical career.
In an interview with The Sun newspaper, keyboardist Ben said: “I think ‘Delta’ is as close to the heart of what Mumford & Sons is all about.
“Rather than being from something that we have been defined by, this feels like what we should be defined by because we’ve put a lot of effort into making this a statement.
“It feels closer than ever to us as people — and is us moving forward. It feels like a bit of a period that is about to begin.”
He explained that the group has also sought to improve and develop their songwriting, and he suggested they have matured together.
He added: “Our desire has always been to get better at what we do, with our music and our writing. We’ve changed quite a lot and I think we’ve grown up.
“We’ve grown together. We are on a wavelength. We are a hell of a lot less naive than we were ten years ago.”
Lead singer Marcus also echoed the sentiment that their new dark album – which deals with death, drugs, and depression – represents a new chapter and direction in their careers as they have gained confidence and wisdom with maturity.
He said: “I feel it’s the start of something, the next chapter maybe. Something happened while making Delta that gave us a new confidence of where we can go.”

Clean Bandit’s success is an ‘accident’

By
Ohmygossip.com

OHMYGOSSIP — Clean Bandit’s success is an “accident”.
The electronic band – which is made up of Grace Chatto and brothers Jack and Luke Patterson – rose to fame in 2014 and have already collaborated with huge names, including the likes of Jess Glynne, Demi Lovato and Zara Larsson, but Grace has now confessed that there was “never any plan” to be so successful.
Speaking about their fame, Grace told the Guardian newspaper: “There was never any plan, though. This was kind of an accident.”
The 32-year-old musician recalled a time when she “couldn’t even afford to get the tube” in London because she’d given all of her money to a radio plugger.
However, within just a few weeks, the band was massive, gaining traction on the radio and they were soon national – and then international – stars.
She said: “We couldn’t even afford to get the tube at that point, within a few weeks, Radio 1 was playing it and then, all of a sudden, all these lawyers and managers contacted us.”
The group have recently announced details of their second studio album, which features the likes of Ellie Goulding and Marina and the Diamonds.
But earlier this year, Clean Bandit revealed their ambition is to collaborate with Madonna after she lip-synced to their song ‘Solo’ on her Instagram account.
The British trio couldn’t believe it when they saw the video of their idol – who voiced the words to their track in celebration of LGBTQ + Pride Month – and Jack subsequently admitted they are now desperate to work with the American star.
He explained: “We couldn’t believe that. We’re big fans. We’d love to work with her … if she’s reading this.”

Clean Bandit scrapped Elton John collaboration from new album

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Clean Bandit’s collaboration with Sir Elton John didn’t have the right feel for their album.
The electronic dance group – made up of Grace Chatto, and sibling duo Jack and Luke Patterson – will release their second record ‘What Is Love?’ on November 30, and while they had teased a track with the ‘Rocket Man’ hitmaker it hasn’t made the final cut.
Speaking to The Guardian newspaper, Grace explained: “We realised there was a sound developing in a certain part of the Venn diagram of the album and we wanted to push that.
“It was kind of this tropical, plastic-y, mournful sound, whereas his songs were more from the ‘Rather Be’ world.”
The group – who have worked with the likes of Anne-Marie,
Zara Larsson, Craig David and Ellie Goulding on the record – previously praised the mood Elton brought to the studio.
Speaking earlier this year, Grace said: “He was so funny! He sat down at the piano and didn’t stop playing for the whole day, just constant ideas flowing. He was telling loads of jokes at the same time.”
Now, the cellist has opened up about another collaboration – ‘Solo’, which featured Demi Lovato on vocals – and admitted there was pressure from the label to remove a racy scene of Grace getting intimate with herself in the music video.
In the chat with the Guardian, she added: “I had kickback from the label saying: ‘What if children ask their parents what’s going on?’
“And I was like: ‘Well, that’s fine, if they do ask their mums, then they won’t find out from other things on the internet.’
“Those scenes were important for me to put in because seeing women masturbating is not something that happens in popular culture, unless it’s with a hetero male gaze.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘EastEnders’ has announced a brand new spoiler podcast where Walford fans will find out Kat Slater and Alfie Moon’s dark secrets.
The popular BBC One show will have its own audio spin-off – named ‘EastEnders: The Podcast’ – especially for fans and will spill the character’s mysteries from the series and will include exclusive interviews..
The first episode – airing on Wednesday (28.11.18) on ‘BBC Sounds’ – will delve into Kat and Alfie’s relationship as currently, viewers only know that Hayley Slater (Katie Jarvis) and Alfie had an affair when the trio were living together in Spain.

Abbey Clancy seeks to avoid fashion trends

OHMYGOSSIP — Abbey Clancy tries to avoid following “trends”.
The 32-year-old model has revealed she’s made a conscious decision to avoid chasing fashion fads, insisting she instead focuses on what makes her “feel good”.
Asked about the best piece of fashion advice she’s ever been given, Abbey shared: “Don’t invest in trends, invest in classic pieces, like a good leather jacket or a good blazer.
“I think trends change so quickly, I don’t think you should necessarily follow trends, you should wear what you feel good in, what makes you feel confident.”
Despite her glamorous appearance, the British beauty – who has kids Sophia, seven, Liberty, three, and ten-month-old son Johnny with husband Peter Crouch – has admitted to adopting a more “practical” approach to fashion over time.
Asked whether she prefers “glamming up or dressing down”, Abbey told the Belfast Telegraph newspaper: “It depends. I love to dress up. I’m from Liverpool, it’s in our blood to dress up, but now, having the kids and living in the country, I have to be practical.
“Doing the school run and going out for big walks in the countryside, which I love, and taking the kids to the park, I have to adapt my style – some of my Lipsy dresses would not be suitable for the park!”
Abbey also revealed she’s kept some of her vintage pieces for her daughter to eventually wear.
She said: “I’ve got loads of vintage clothes that I’ve collected over the years and I have also now started to keep all of my designer pieces or my one-off pieces for Sophia.
“I used to give all my clothes away to my friends or my sister and now I look at Sophia and she’s grown so fast – she’s only seven.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Coronation Street’s’ Catherine Tyldesley insists that fans will “love” her bestie Sair Khan on ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’.
The 35-year-old former ‘Corrie’ star – who played Eva Price on the ITV soap from 2011 to 2018 – has revealed that she thinks her pal will do “really well” because she is “strong-minded and strong-willed”, and is always positive in a situation.
Speaking to OK! Magazine, Catherine said: “I think Sair will do really well, I see her as a ‘peace keeper’.
“She’s strong minded and strong willed, she always has a smile on her face, so I’m sure people will love her. I think she’ll do really well.”
The blonde beauty also confessed that she “could never” participate in the jungle competition because she thinks she’d be “terrible”, but admitted she enjoys watching John Barrowman, 51, and Anne Hegerty, 60, on the ITV jungle show.
She added: “I love watching ‘I’m a Celeb’. Hats off to anyone that takes part, I couldn’t do it, I’d be terrible!
“I think this year’s line-up is fab. At present everyone is really likeable and there’s a great balance and mixture of personalities.
“I adore John, we’ve never met but I’m pretty sure if we did he’d be my ‘spirit animal’.
“I’m also loving Anne and think the fact she’s even gone into that environment is testament to what an amazing, brave lady she is. I hope other people take inspiration from her.”

Harvey Virdi thinks her controversial Hollyoaks storyline ‘needs to be talked about’

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Harvey Virdi thinks her controversial ‘Hollyoaks’ storyline “needs to be talked about”.
The 43-year-old actress’ alter ego Misbah Maalik is at the centre of one of the show’s most contentious themes to date as her she and her family are targeted by a far-right group, and the star has confessed she thinks the topic needs to be discussed as not “many people are aware of it”.
In an interview with Digital Spy, she said: “I think we’re doing it because it’s something that needs to be talked about and I don’t think many people are aware of it – I know I wasn’t. I didn’t realise how prevalent it is.
“Finding out that these groups actively use social media to target vulnerable and lost people – and then try to influence the way they see the world – is actually quite scary. I think that’s why it’s really important for a show like Hollyoaks to try to raise that awareness.
“It’s a challenge because of the time we go out. We don’t air after the watershed. But it’s also exciting to explore something this serious in that 6.30pm timeslot, to make people aware.”
As for whether sensitive subjects should be off-limits for a soap opera to explore, Harvey believes that as long as the topic is explored with sensitivity then nothing should be out of the question.
She said: “Personally, I think the reason people become filmmakers, writers, actors or musicians is to try to explore these subjects.
“I don’t think there is a subject that is off-limits, but I think it’s a case of how it’s done and approached.
“If we all sat there and said these things are off-limits, nothing would ever be explored and we need to make people aware.”

James Jordan says Dancing on Ice has been the ‘hardest thing’ he’s ever done

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — James Jordan admits ‘Dancing on Ice’ has been the “hardest thing” he has “ever had to learn”.
The 40-year-old dancing pro was announced for the series last month but despite the skills the star picked up on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ he has disputed claims that he’s at an advantage because he’s a dancer.
Speaking to Digital Spy, he said: “I’ll be perfectly honest; at the beginning, I was petrified of it. I had all the hockey pads on and everything. I didn’t really enjoy it at the beginning.”
“I came home to [wife] Ola after training for the first couple of weeks, I was saying, ‘I’m really not enjoying it, it’s so difficult and I’m scared of falling’. I think that’s an age thing, as you get older you become more fearful of things.”
Although James struggled at the start of his training, he confessed that after he met his professional partner and spent more time “on the ice” he started to feel more confident about the competition.
He explained: “But the more time I spent on the ice, I started to be able to… I can go backwards now, do a few little turns and things like that.
“I met my partner, and since I’ve met my partner, it’s all become a little bit easier. I’ve put in a lot of hours.
“I’m one of these people who if I can’t do something straight away it really frustrates me. It has been really, really difficult.
“I’d actually say it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to learn. It’s so hard. It’s like having a couple of knives under your feet.”

Arlene Phillips finds Strictly return ‘hard’

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Arlene Phillips says returning to ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ nine years after being axed from the judging panel is “hard”.
The 75-year-old choreographer was a judge on the BBC ballroom show for the first six series until she was sacked in 2009 and replaced with Alesha Dixon, 40, causing an ageism row, and now the star is returning this weekend to the dance competition because it’s where her “heart lies”.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, Arlene said: “I did this because this is where my heart lies. I didn’t do this about resolving anything with ‘Strictly’.
“Was it hard for me to say yes? I’ve got to tell you, it was really hard. I’m not sure because I am supposed to be at an event anyway that day.
“But I am not sure, at the moment I haven’t replaced myself. So of course it would be very emotional to be there in the studio.”
The star is choreographing her own routine for Sunday night’s show (25.11.18) to David Bowie’s hit ‘Life On Mars’, and it is set to feature ten Candoco dancers alongside several eliminated ‘Strictly’ professionals, including Janette Manrara, 35, and 28-year-old Gorka Marquez.
Arlene was devastated when she was axed from the popular dancing competition and replaced with the ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ judge, and the panel revamp sparked debate everywhere as the BBC received 951 complaints about its decision to replace her.
It was even discussed in the House of Commons by the Minister for Women Harriet Harman.
Speaking in an interview last year, Arlene said: “I’ve never really been given a real reason [as to why I was axed]. I don’t think I will ever know the answer.”
