Chrissy Teigen says bone broth ‘saved’ her body

OHMYGOSSIP — Chrissy Teigen thinks bone broth “saved” her body following childbirth.
The 32-year-old model – who has kids Luna, two, and six-month-old Miles with husband John Legend – has revealed how bone broth helped her to cope with her “constant aches” after giving birth.
She wrote on Twitter: “bone broth kind of saved my body when I was going through it postpartum. I lived a life of constant aches, overall weakness and body bruising (from the slightest bumps) and rich, hearty bone broth put me back together again (also the meds) but I give much kudos to bone broth. (sic)”
However, Chrissy subsequently admitted bone broth won’t cure all of the issues caused by childbirth.
Responding to another user on the micro-blogging platform, the American star conceded: “yeah I don’t really believe anything is a cure-all, I just know it works for me and gives me all the goodness my body is lacking. I have no stake in big bone broth, just love its herby, fatty goodness (sic)”
Meanwhile, Chrissy recently revealed sees Twitter as her “connection to the world”.
The model shared: “People are like, ‘Why do you have time for all of these strangers?’ But that is my outside connection to the world.
“I genuinely love doing it. I always have. I enjoy talking to people and feeling like I know them and having this conversation.”
Chrissy briefly abandoned Twitter after she received threats following a message she posted about gun control.
But Chrissy refuses to bite her tongue on issues she feels passionately about.
She said: “Our lives would be so much easier if we didn’t dabble in politics at all, but I don’t want that kind of life. For us, we are willing to take that risk, because we believe in it so passionately.”

Bono felt ’emasculated’ when he lost his voice

OHMYGOSSIP — Bono felt “emasculated” when he lost his voice.
The U2 frontman had to cut short a gig in Berlin, Germany, in September when he began to struggle due to the smoke in the arena and he admitted people around him were “alarmed” because he’d had no problems before going on stage.
Speaking to Q magazine, he said: “It was emasculating. I didn’t know quite what it was. I had nothing wrong with my voice before the show.
“It wasn’t laryngitis. That’s what made people alarmed. It was some allergic reaction and it just turned it off. Turned off the voice.”
Despite the ‘One’ group’s years of success, the 58-year-old singer thinks it’s taken him until now to be as “great” as the rest of the band.
He said: “I shouldn’t tell you this but the band played some New York show in Madison Square Garden [this year]. And I looked around and I went, ‘Oh my, this is the most potent this band has ever been.’
“It’s not like there was an earlier period where I thought, ‘This is nearly as good as back then.’ This is like better.
“Then I realised they have always been very good-to-great. I heard early Marquee shows back and realised the band, the musicians in the band, have always been very good-to-great, but I wasn’t.
“I was a great lightning rod and frontman but when I heard those Marquee shows from 1980, I don’t think I was great. But I’ve caught up with them.”
At the time of the axed show in Berlin, Bono’s bandmates Adam Clayton, Larry Mullen and The Edge posted a message on the band’s website and admitted they were baffled by what had happened to the singer.
It said: “We’re so sorry for tonight’s cancellation. Bono was in great form and great voice prior to the show and we were all looking forward to the second night in Berlin, but after a few songs, he suffered a complete loss of voice.
“We don’t know what has happened and we’re taking medical advice.
“As always, we appreciate our audience’s understanding and all our fans’ support in Berlin and those who travelled from afar. We will update you very soon.”

Cheryl rejected chance to star in Chicago

OHMYGOSSIP — Cheryl has rejected the chance to star in ‘Chicago’ in London.
The 35-year-old singer is reported to have auditioned for the role of Roxie Hart in the theatre production, but a spokesperson for the brunette beauty has revealed she declined the opportunity to star in the show.
A representative for Cheryl told MailOnline: “We can confirm that Cheryl was approached with an offer to take the role but turned it down.”
The role of Roxie has since been claimed by British TV star Caroline Flack, who previously presented ‘The X Factor’.
It’s been reported that Caroline, 39, will start rehearsals for the production once she has filmed the ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ Christmas special.
The popular presenter won the BBC dance show in 2014.
Meanwhile, Cheryl recently admitted she will “move on” with her life if her musical comeback is a flop.
The singer – who first found fame as part of the chart-topping girl group Girls Aloud – revealed that motherhood has transformed her outlook on life, meaning she now measures her success by happiness rather than by record sales.
Asked about her comeback single ‘Love Made Me Do It’, Cheryl – whose son Bear was born in March last year – 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.”
Despite her success, Cheryl confessed her life could easily have gone down another route had she not joined Girls Aloud.
Cheryl – who was born in the city of Newcastle in North-East England – explained: “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.”

Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan moving to Windsor

OHMYGOSSIP — Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan are moving to Windsor.
The couple currently reside in the two-bedroom Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace in London but plan to move to the 10-bedroom Frogmore Cottage on the grounds of Windsor Castle next year before their first child is born.
Kensington Palace said in a statement: “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will more to Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor Estate early next year as they prepare for the arrival of their first child. The couple have lived at Nottingham Cottage since their engagement last year. Windsor is a very special place for Their Royal Highnesses and they are grateful that their official residence will be on the estate. The Duke and Duchess’s official office will continue to be based at Kensington Palace.”
Harry, 34, and Meghan, 37, held their wedding reception at Frogmore House, situated across from their new cottage, which was gifted to them by Queen Elizabeth.
The announcement comes after it was claimed that Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan were planning a “separate court” from his brother Prince William and William’s wife Duchess Catherine.
Royals author Sally Bedell Smith told PEOPLE: “The arrival of Meghan has changed the dynamic of the relationship in a fairly significant way. It is inevitable and practical because it gives Harry and Meghan some freedom to build up their own collection of interests and charities.
“Meghan has very strong views on what she is interested in and that may be what Harry shares, but not what William and Kate share.
“They have brought many charities working in the same sector together to empower them and lend their positions. But they will increasingly follow their own respective interests.
“I think it really is just a shift in priorities and interests. William is a husband and father of three and his focus is primarily on them, and Harry will soon be a father.
“Each of them will continue the very strong representative of the Queen in carrying out tasks and assignments that she, and probably their father, wants them to do. They are going to be sharing in this diffusion of activities on behalf of the Queen.”

Ashley Roberts tops the Strictly Come Dancing leaderboard

OHMYGOSSIP — Ashley Roberts tops the ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ leaderboard following tonight’s (24.11.18) performances.
The 37-year-old pop star and her professional partner Pasha Kovalev moved to the summit of the leaderboard following the Lindy Hop-A-Thon, which followed the traditional ‘Strictly’ dances.
At the end of the first phase of the show, singer Faye Tozer and TV star Stacey Dooley actually sat joint-top of the standings on 39 points each.
Shirley Ballas was one of three judges who awarded Stacey a score of ten for her eye-catching pasodoble.
She said: “Stacey looked like a star – it was brilliant.”
Fellow judge Bruno Tonioli was similarly impressed, telling Stacey and her professional partner Kevin Clifton: “One hundred percent genuine, fantastically choreographed, you killed every bull in your path!”
Meanwhile, Faye – who is partnered with Giovanni Pernice – wowed the judges with her waltz.
Craig Revel Horwood said: “I loved it, graceful, elegant, gorgeous rise and fall.”
Darcey Bussell described their routine as “exquisite”.
And Bruno added: “[It was] effortlessly classic, refined, polished and poised.”
However, Ashley – whose first dance was awarded a score of 36 by the judges – moved to the top of the leaderboard after winning the Lindy Hop-A-Thon round, which gave the contestants the chance to add some extra points to their earlier scores.
As a result of winning the round, the former Pussycat Dolls star was awarded an additional seven points.
On the other hand, Lauren Steadman and AJ Pritchard are propping up the table with an overall score of 24.

Cheryl Tweedy ‘loses out on West End role’

OHMYGOSSIP — Cheryl Tweedy reportedly lost out on a West End role to Caroline Flack.
The ‘Love Made Me Do It’ singer was believed to be in talks to take on the role of Roxie Hart in the London stage production of ‘Chicago’ but the part ultimately went to her former ‘The X Factor’ co-star Caroline instead.
According to The Sun, Cheryl, 35, has wanted to play the iconic part, portrayed by Renee Zellweger in the Oscar-winning 2002 movie, for years but she was beaten to the role by Caroline, 39.
Meanwhile, Cheryl recently revealed that she will “move on” with her life if her musical comeback is a flop.
The star – who has a 19-month-old son called Bear with her ex-boyfriend Liam Payne – has revealed that motherhood has transformed her outlook on life, meaning she now measures her success by happiness rather than by record sales.
Speaking before the release of her comeback single, Cheryl – who split from Liam earlier this year – told the Guardian newspaper: “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.”
The song entered the UK charts at number 19 before swiftly falling outside the Top 40.
Cheryl first found fame as part of Girls Aloud, the pop group created through ITV’s ‘Popstars: The Rivals’ and recently revealed she’s been seeing someone in the past year to keep her anxiety “in check”.
But the British star also insisted that her previous worries have now become “less relevant”.
She said: “I used to have anxiety – [I’ve] been seeing someone in the past year to keep that in check – I don’t want to be stressed as a mam or a pop star.
“We’re supposed to be living our best lives, aren’t we? Stresses I used to feel are less relevant.”

Danny Tetley and Brendan Murray voted off The X Factor

OHMYGOSSIP — Danny Tetley and Brendan Murray have both been voted off ‘The X Factor’.
The 37-year-old singer and Brendan, 22, failed to impress the British public sufficiently in order to retain their place for tomorrow’s (25.11.18) Results Show, which will determine who will compete in the final of the ITV programme.
The decision means that there are now only four acts remaining on this year’s ‘X Factor’ – Acacia and Aaliyah, Dalton Harris, Scarlett Lee and Anthony Russell, who celebrated his survival wildly.
Both acts subsequently insisted that the British public will see more of them in the future.
But tonight’s result means that actress Ayda Field won’t have any acts in the running during this year’s ‘X Factor’ final.
Earlier in the show, Ayda poked fun at her husband and fellow judge Robbie Williams after the chart-topping pop star recently missed some of the live shows while he’s been touring overseas.
She said: “I’m in such a good mood, my husband is back. Thank you for showing up, it’s so nice of you to be here.”
However, Robbie had the last laugh on the night as his act Acacia and Aaliyah retained their place on the programme, meaning they’re now within touching distance of next week’s ‘X Factor’ final.

Little Mix slam industry sexism

OHMYGOSSIP — Little Mix have faced sexism throughout their career.
Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jesy Nelson, Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirlwall – who recently split from Simon Cowell’s label Syco – have admitted that they have clashed with powerful men in the music industry but are fighting back with their new album ‘LM5’.
Leigh-Anne told the Daily Star: “We’ve had our fair share of arguments with powerful men over what we want to do and how things should be done.
“We were as ballsy as we could be with this album.
“We still face sexism in the industry. We’ve been told what we should and shouldn’t do.
“We learned to put our foot down and make sure we are taken seriously as four strong women who have opinions. It’s been a struggle.
“There are still not enough powerful women in the industry compared to men and that needs to change.
“There still is a lot that needs to be done in the music industry, but in terms of our careers we are in the driver’s seat more than ever because we speak up for ourselves, we stick together and make sure our opinions are treated as validly as any man’s.”
The group recently claimed boy bands get treated differently to them during discussions about tunes, whereas they will be written off as “whining” about something if they disagree over a song choice.
Perrie said: “It’s double standards when you’re young women. When we started out it was almost like, ‘This is your lane, stay in your lane. You’re the faces and the name.’
“We’re not. We’re the brand. We’re businesswomen. It’s our baby. So everything we do creatively comes from us
“It is frustrating that if a group of guys were to say, ‘We’re not going to do that song, we’re going to release this song,’ it’s like, ‘Maybe we should listen.’
“Whereas, when we do it, it’s like, ‘Oh they’re at it again, they’re whining.’
“But we’re not. We’re perfectionists. We take everything we do so seriously. It’s important to us.”

Noel Edmonds and Nick Knowles to face next Bushtucker Trial

OHMYGOSSIP — Noel Edmonds and Nick Knowles are to face the next Bushtucker Trial on ‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!’.
The 69-year-old TV presenter and Nick, 56, have been voted to take on the live Trial on Sunday (25.11.18), with Noel having excelled during his first Trial alongside Harry Redknapp.
The veteran TV star – who was the last celebrity to arrive in the Australian jungle – teamed up with Harry to win 11 stars out of 11 for the hungry camp.
The celebrity duo – who have already struck up a bond during their brief time together on the show – were required to feast on brains from a sheep’s skull and drink a goblet of fish eye juice as part of their challenge.
Noel and Harry also had to keep cockroaches, worms and grubs in their mouths for 60 seconds in order to win stars for the ‘I’m a Celebrity’ campmates.
After Harry completed his 60 seconds with six beach worms in his mouth, he complained: “I felt sure I was going to swallow one. One was really deep down my throat.”
The soccer manager also revealed he felt a responsibility to complete the tasks, even though he dreaded doing it.
He confessed: “I struggle to eat the food honestly in the jungle that we get into camp.
“I don’t think I’ve really ate anything, so this is going to be difficult for me. I’ve got to do it. I’ve got the grandkids watching. I can’t let them down.”

Harry Redknapp opens up about sex life

OHMYGOSSIP — Harry Redknapp opened up about his sex life on Friday’s (23.11.18) episode of ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’.
The 71-year-old football manager has been married to his beloved wife Sandra for 54 years but admitted that he often gets cramp during their romps, leading Sandra to believe his cries of pain were actually those of pleasure.
Speaking on the ITV show, Harry said: “I’ve had it at home before and normally shout for Sandra. I have had it before during a difficult time.
“I think Sandra thought I was really enjoying myself at that time but it was cramp, I was screaming, I bet she thought ‘b****y hell, Harry’s getting excited’ but it was the cramp I had.”
Harry’s jungle campmate Noel Edmonds massaged the cramp for the star but admitted he found the experience bizarre.
Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, he said: “I woke up to the cries of Harry Redknapp in agony with cramp. It was a very difficult moment for me – I don’t know Harry that well. We’ve only been sleeping together for 24 hours. He did make a bit of a fuss about it.”
And Harry joked to their fellow campmates that Noel had given him an intimate massage.
He quipped: “I woke up from cramp and Noel was rubbing my leg under my clothes! I said ‘the cramp is in my calf, not in my groin!'”
As their campmates howled with laughter, Noel grumbled “shut it”.

Rita Ora struggles to sleep

OHMYGOSSIP — Rita Ora has trouble sleeping.
The 27-year-old pop star – who is one of the world’s best-known singers – has revealed she struggles to fall asleep because she’s always got so many different ideas racing through her mind.
Asked what problem she wants some help to cure, Rita shared: “How do I sleep on the spot? Like, when you know you have two hours in the day to have a nap but your brain is going 100 miles an hour. How do you disconnect and have a nap? That’s what I want to know.”
Rita also struggles to deal with hangovers, and so the British star has learned not to “mix work with pleasure”.
The singer insisted good friends would understand if she rejected the chance to drink because she wanted to “wake up with a clear mind”.
She told the Guardian newspaper: “Good friends will support your decisions regardless. Plus, if you show them you can still have fun with them on a night out, they’ll get over it.
“I’ve done it and it’s worth it for that next day when you wake up with a clear mind and you don’t feel like you’re wasting the day. I’m not good at tackling hangovers, so that’s why I don’t mix work with pleasure.”
Earlier this week, meanwhile, Rita came under fire on social media for lip-syncing her way through Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
But the pop star subsequently rubbished the criticism, saying that circumstances meant she had no alternative other than to lip sync and that, where possible, she always sings live.
Rita made the comments after the 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)”

Faye Tozer: ‘Being away from husband is tricky’

OHMYGOSSIP — Faye Tozer admits it is “tricky” being away from her husband during ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 43-year-old Steps star revealed she is missing her spouse Michael Smith, with whom she has a nine-year-old son, but says they have a solid family unit which is helping her get through it.
She told The Sun: “It’s always tricky being away from home. You just have to keep your head above water.
“We’ve just got to keep really tight as a family unit and make sure we communicate — I think that’s the only way. But it is tough being away from home because we miss each other.”
Faye was recently spotted enjoying a cosy meal with her hunky 28-year-old dance partner Giovanni Pernice but she insisted the pair are just good friends.
She said: “I can feed myself thank you very much. But I had a bit of salad on my face so he took it off and that was it.”
And Faye’s Steps bandmate Claire Richards recently insisted the star won’t fall to the ‘Strictly’ curse.
The former ‘Popstar to Operastar’ contestant said: “She’s not that stupid. If she’s having an affair with her partner she’s not going to be sitting in the window of a restaurant.
“It was her birthday that day and they don’t normally go out for lunch. She’s made of tough stuff, her and her husband are solid… I think. He’s been taking the mickey out of it.”
Over the course of fifteen series of the BBC favourite, nearly a dozen couples have split up thanks to their time on the show causing fans to label the series as ‘cursed.’
Claire also revealed that she “loves” the BBC dancing show because “it’s the experience of a lifetime” and said she “would be surprised” if Faye didn’t make it to the final.
However, the ‘Tragedy’ hitmaker said that she won’t be appearing on the show just yet, as she wants to focus on her debut solo album which comes out in February and also added that she is committed to the forthcoming Steps album.
The ‘One For Sorrow’ hitmaker added: “I thought I had got to the age where this wasn’t a consideration. Who starts a solo career at the age of 40? But the songs clicked and I’m happy. I’m doing this but I’m committed to the next Steps album.”

Kendall Jenner jokingly boos Tristan Thompson during basketball game

OHMYGOSSIP — Kendall Jenner booed Tristan Thompson during a basketball game on Friday (23.11.18).
The 23-year-old model was spotted jokingly jeering Tristan, 27 – who is the boyfriend of Khloe Kardashian and the father of her seven-month-old daughter True – during the Cleveland Cavaliers’ game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Kendall was sat court-side for the game and could be seen cupping her hands to boo Tristan as he was taking a free throw.
However, the high-profile duo also shared a warm embrace on the court, showing that there were no hard feelings.
During the game, Kendall was also seen cheering for Ben Simmons, the Australian star for the 76ers who she’s been romantically linked to.
Meanwhile, Khloe – Kendall’s half-sister – recently hit back at criticism from fans after she skipped Thanksgiving with her family.
The 34-year-old reality star spent the holiday in Cleveland, Ohio, with Tristan and their daughter True, while her family celebrated in Los Angeles, but Khloe has denied she’s feuding with her loved ones.
She wrote on Twitter: “Y’all are reaching now. I’ve spent the past 3 years in Cleveland for Thanksgiving. Not sure why people are trying to create drama between my family and I. My sisters and I are perfectly fine thank you! All of their families were able to travel but TT being in season, he can not.
“The truth is never as fun as some story some of you like to create. So here we goooooooooooo!! Happy Thanksgiving I guess lol (sic).”
There has been tension between Khloe’s family and the NBA star ever since he was accused of being unfaithful just days before their daughter was born in April.

Ben Mendelsohn.calls for diversity and inclusion

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Captain Marvel’ is a “big moment” for inclusion and diversity, according to Ben Mendelsohn.
The 49-year-old actor stars as a high-ranking Skrull known as Talos, who has infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D., in the upcoming Marvel movie – the first to feature a solo female hero (Brie Larson as Captain Marvel)- and Ben hopes it will lead to more diversity in the movie industry.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, he said: “I think we have something really special here, and that all comes from a finely crafted script, it’s absolutely beautiful.
“Obviously this is a big moment for Marvel, and hopefully a sweeping change for inclusion and diversity in the industry.”
The movie also features Marvel Studios’ first female director, Anna Boden.
Meanwhile, producer Nate Moore previously insisted ‘Captain Marvel’ won’t be like the typical origin story.
He explained: “I think there is a structure to origin films that audiences sometimes can get ahead of very quickly. So, if we do origin films, internally, we talk about how we can subvert that structure.
“For instance, ‘Captain Marvel’ is an origin movie in that you haven’t seen her before, but we think we’ve stumbled upon a structure there that isn’t the traditional structure of what origin movies typically are, which is you meet the character, they have a problem, they get powers at the end of the first act, and the end of the second act they learn about the powers, the third act they probably fight a villain who has a function of the same powers.”
Nate revealed that the studio is determined to ensure that ‘Captain Marvel’ is distinct from other superhero movies.
He said: “As we introduce new characters moving forward, we want to find ways to subvert that structure, so at least the experience of the film feels new to audiences.
“We’re very conscious of making sure that audiences don’t get things that feel like they’ve seen them before.”

Michael Buble doesn’t care about number one records

OHMYGOSSIP — Michael Buble doesn’t care about having a number one album.
The Canadian crooner’s latest record ‘Love’ topped the UK charts but Michael admitted chart positions mean nothing to him anymore after dealing with the trauma of his son being diagnosed with cancer.
He told DJ Larry Flick on New York’s SiriusXM: “I don’t give a sh*t if things sell one or 10 million, I don’t care where I play, if it is at a club or a stadium. My kids are good, that’s all I care about. Making music is this bonus, the bonus of the happiness of life. I couldn’t even think about it.
“I don’t read anything, don’t have social media any more and my poor manager cannot tell me what the chart positions are because he knows I will cut the call.
“I don’t need to know that. I don’t have control over that.
“Every second I get to promise myself to be the nicest, kindest person I can be. Everything else has gone out of the window – I can’t control them.”
Michael and his wife Luisana Lopilato have children Noah, five, Elias, two and three-month-old Vida together and were left devastated in 2016 when Noah was diagnosed with liver cancer.
However, the tot has since recovered and Michael says his health battle has helped him to put his own career worries into perspective.
Michael, 43, said: “I know what it is to have fear. That place [before] wasn’t a bad place – I was just a dumb-ass.
“I no longer think it is my business what people think of me. I will never let negativity in.”

Nicolas Roeg dies aged 90

OHMYGOSSIP — Movie director Nicolas Roeg has died aged 90.
The London-born filmmaker – whose movies included ‘Don’t Look Now’ and ‘Performance’ – was hailed for his original and, at times, controversial work during his six decades in the film business.
Nicolas Roeg Jr, the director’s son, has confirmed his dad died on Friday night (23.11.18).
Of his father, Nicolas said: “He was a genuine dad. He just had his 90th birthday in August.”
Although Nicolas eventually emerged as one of the UK’s most accomplished filmmakers, he actually started his career making tea and operating the clapper board at Marylebone Studios.
Nicolas made his directorial debut in 1970 with the drama film ‘Performance’, which he co-directed with the help of Donald Cammell.
However – as was often the case with Nicolas’s work – the film sparked controversy, with its release being delayed by two years because of the violence and drug-taking scenes.
Another of Nicolas’ best-known movies, ‘Don’t Look Now’, provoked outrage for its graphic sex scenes.
The director previously admitted he found the false rumours that ‘Don’t Look Now’ included a real sex scene to be “very flattering” because it meant it was so life-like.
Speaking in 2013, Nicolas – who married his second wife, actress Harriet Harper, in 2004 – explained: “What you are looking for in anything is some sort of truth.”
British director Edgar Wright has already paid tribute to Nicolas, describing him as “a master of the art”.
He wrote on Twitter: “Farewell to the extraordinary cinematic talent, director Nicolas Roeg. His films hypnotized me for years and still continue to intrigue. Along with classics like Performance & Walkabout, I could watch Don’t Look Now on a loop & never tire of its intricacies. A master of the art. (sic)”
