Rita Ora’s ‘really low’ years

OHMYGOSSIP — Rita Ora has been feeling “really low” over the past few years.
The 27-year-old singer has admitted she didn’t know if she would ever be able to release her second album ‘Phoenix’ – which she dropped this week – after suffering a “long moment” in her life when she felt as though “everything was over”.
Speaking to the crowd at her album launch show at the Notting Hill Arts Club on Saturday (24.11.18), she said: “I did have a long moment in my life for the past few years where I didn’t know if it was possible to put out another album and I was really scared. I thought ‘oh my god shall I just give up and wrap it up’?
“Then I remembered something… I was like ‘I don’t know what else I can do.’ I remember feeling really low and feeling that everything was over.”
The ‘Let You Love Me’ hitmaker struggled to hold back tears as she told the audience she was just “happy to be” at the venue celebrating her album.
She added: “I have been through so much s**t to put this album out.
“I have to tell you that I’m just happy to be here.
“No matter if it was 20 people or five people. It’s literally a dream come true.”

Her comments come after she recently admitted she has trouble sleeping.
She said: “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 ‘Girls’ singer has learned not to “mix work with pleasure”.

Peter Andre feels younger after quitting drink

OHMYGOSSIP — Peter Andre feels “young” after giving up alcohol.
The 45-year-old singer – who has Junior, 13, and Princess, 11, with ex-wife Katie Price and Amelia, four, and two-year-old Theo with spouse Emily – insists he doesn’t “want or need” to drink to have a good time and he feels much better without it.
He told Closer magazine: “I haven’t drunk alcohol for some years now. It’s just not for me, I don’t like it.
“Without it, I feel good and I feel young. I don’t want or need it.”
And the ‘Mysterious Girl’ hitmaker loves nothing more than a quiet night in with his wife.
He said: “Mine and Emily’s favourite thing to do is to chill when the kids have gone to bed.
“There can’t be bigger couch potatoes than us – that’s my perfect night.
“Loads of chocolate and a cup of tea – perfect.”
Despite a large household, Peter insists things are usually “calm and chilled” in their home.
He said: “We’ve got a really cool, calm, chilled vibe in our home.
“We all do our own thing but always come together in the evenings for dinner and TV.
“Junior’s a great older brother to the younger two, while Princess and Millie have an adorable sisterly bond – and little Theo is becoming a real superstar.
“Theo’s really gentle and kind, just like Millie. They both have the kindness and calmness that Emily has.”
And the ‘Behind Closed Doors’ hitmaker hailed his doctor wife as “Wonder Woman”.
He gushed: “Emily is just an incredible person. She’s got such an amazing job and still manages to be an amazing mum – I’m so proud of her.
“She’s Wonder Woman. The kids were watching ‘Mary Poppins’ and they were like, ‘She’s just like you!’ It was her politeness, her mannerisms and her being such a homebody.”

David and Victoria Beckham’s home targeted by thieves again

OHMYGOSSIP — David and Victoria Beckham’s home has been targeted by burglars for the second time in a month.
In October, police were called to the 43-year-old retired soccer star and 44-year-old fashion designer’s £6 million pad in Great Tew, Oxfordshire, after three balaclava-wearing intruders were caught on CCTV outside the lavish property.
And it has now been revealed that on November 14, almost four weeks after the initial break-in attempt, security guards and attack dogs were forced to chase another set of intruders away from the property.
Neither of the pair or their four children – Brooklyn, 19, Romeo,16, Cruz, 13, and Harper, seven – were at their home at the time
A local source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “This now feels like a sustained attempt to target the house when they’re away.
“The family split their time between the idyllic rural retreat and a central London home. Luckily they had laid on extra security after the last incident – including several staff and dogs – who were able to protect the property.
“Otherwise this could have had a very different outcome. They are re-evaluating their security again and will bring in more if they need to.”
Both of the burglary attempts are thought to have been carried out by the same people, and although police weren’t called to the scene in the latest attempt, they have been “made aware” of the situation.
Thames Valley Police said: “We were called at around 6.15am on Wednesday 14th following reports of a man behaving suspiciously near a property. The Neighbourhood Policing Team has been made aware.”
During the first break-in attempt in October, the perpetrators allegedly placed a ladder up against the wall in a bid to have a view of any expensive items on display in the home.
The trio didn’t go inside the home – which the couple often visit to take time out from their hectic work schedules – and nothing was stolen, however, the incident shook up the couple who were left “devastated” by the news.

Diddy gives 18 minute eulogy for Kim Porter

OHMYGOSSIP — Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs says Kim Porter’s love was “too much” for him to “handle”, as he delivered a eulogy at her funeral on Saturday (24.11.18).
The 49-year-old hip-hop mogul spoke for almost 18 minutes during his ex-girlfriend’s funeral this weekend, which came after her sudden death on November 15, and praised his late love as his “guidance” and “confidante”.
In his speech – which The Blast reports was unprepared, with Diddy instead choosing to speak from the heart – he said: “I would come into the office every day, and she worked at the front desk, and I would be so excited to come up in the elevator. To know that I was going to see her.
“She was my friend first. She was my confidante. She was like my guidance, still is. I was just open … We fell in love and honestly, her love was too much for me to handle. It was a lot to handle, to take in.
“We didn’t really plan for this. I definitely thought I was going to go first. God didn’t have it be that way.”
The ‘I’ll Be Missing You’ hitmaker also spoke of a time earlier this year when Kim had helped him out of a “dark time”.
He added: “From the top of the year, I was going through a real dark time. I was really depressed. And I don’t know why, maybe it was cause I was getting older. I just went through a dark, dark time. And she would come over and make sure … even though we weren’t together … She was just like, ‘Come on, Puff. You gotta get up. You gotta get up out the bed. You gotta get moving. You gotta get up.'”
Diddy then addressed his children – Christian, 20, and 11-year-old twins Jessie and D’Lila, whom he has with the late model, as well as 24-year-old Justin, whom he has with Misa Hylton Brim, and 12-year-old Chance, whose mother is Sarah Chapman – as he encouraged them to talk to him “about everything”.
He said: “I just want to say, to my kids – Justin, Christian, Delilah, Jessie, Chance, and the other man of the house, Quincy – your mother instilled in me this, that I pledge in front of everybody right now, that I will always be there for y’all. I will always take care of you. To the girls especially, we’re about to enter into some different type of times. I want y’all to be able to talk to me about everything, and I mean everything.”
The rapper closed his eulogy by speaking directly to Kim – whom he dated on and off for 13 years – and claiming her voice would never “stop talking” inside of him.
He said: “I want to thank each and every one of you in here today because she loved y’all. If you in here, she loved you, she touched you, you cared enough to come. And I just want to tell y’all thank you so much.
“And Kim, we gonna miss you so much. I’m not gonna miss you too much because I’m not going to let your voice inside of me stop talking. I know you like to talk to me when you get on those rants and I just want to let you know, I’ll be listening … We love you, Kim. Thank you.”

Rose Byrne: Social media puts pressure on parents

OHMYGOSSIP — Rose Byrne thinks social media puts pressure on people to have children.
The 39-year-old actress – who has Rocco, two, and Rafa, 12 months, with husband Bobby Cannavale – has hit out at the Internet for placing “so much aspiration around motherhood”, as she thinks it forces people to believe they have to have children in order to succeed.
She said: “There is so much aspiration around motherhood and fatherhood and families, particularly around social media.”
Rose stars in new movie ‘Instant Families’ with Mark Wahlberg in which she shows the downside of fostering three children, and says the film is important because it shows people that it’s “okay” to feel “uncomfortable”.
Speaking to Sunday Life magazine, she said: “Presenting these sorts of ideas is what life is like in reality. I felt so exposed. Then I realised that’s what it’s supposed to feel like, I am supposed to feel uncomfortable and that’s OK.”
Meanwhile, the ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ star recently said her eldest son Rocco went through “trauma” after being introduced to his newborn baby brother.
She said: “There was a bit of an adjustment at first, Rocco didn’t quite get having the brother. He would sort of wake up in the morning and go, ‘no Rafa, no Rafa’. It’s quite a trauma on them the first few months. But it’s good, it toughens them up, right?”
Rose admits her home is more “hectic” now there’s a new addition to the family, and says it’s Rafa who causes the most fights between the two siblings, as she and Bobby are always telling the tot to “take it easy”.
She added: “It’s pretty hectic. It’s funny, the little guy is a lot more aggressive than the big guy. He just goes in for the tackle and loves to pin him down. [Rocco is very patient], he’s kind of like ‘Oh get away from me’. And we’re like ‘Rafa take it easy! Take it easy!'”

Ashley Judd: There’s hope for sexual abuse victims

OHMYGOSSIP — Ashley Judd says there’s “hope” for women who have been victims of “sexual abuse”.
The 50-year-old actress accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment last year and has been spearheading the movements to end sexual misconduct ever since, and she has now reassured victims their life isn’t over, because they can “heal” and grow stronger.
In a message on Twitter, the ‘Heat’ actress said: “There is hope for women who have been sexually abused. We have the opportunity to heal and take responsibility of our healing. It is a long journey to get to a particular place of healing – and it is okay. You have survived.”
Earlier this year, Ashley filed a defamation lawsuit against Weinstein after claiming he prevented her from getting a role in ‘The Lord of the Rings’ because she had rejected his sexual advances.
Weinstein, 66, then filed to have the case thrown out of court, as he claimed Ashley had “filed this action 20 years too late” as the alleged incident happened in 1998.
But the ‘Divergent’ star hit back, branding his filing as “offensive”.
Her team said in a statement: “Mr. Weinstein’s arguments seeking to escape the consequences of his despicable misconduct are not only baseless, they are offensive.
“We look forward to opposing his flawed motion, moving forward with discovery into his outrageous behavior, and proving to a jury that Mr. Weinstein maliciously damaged Ms. Judd’s career because she resisted his sexual advances.”
Meanwhile, in May this year, Ashley said she was confident people will “heal” after the #MeToo movement.
She said: “We can heal. That has been my experience. We may not, admittedly, know how to, or even from what we need to heal … We may not even think we need to heal, that maybe we’ve just had some c****y relationships. Whatever trauma looks like in our lives, feelings can be healed … [We are] ultimately responsible, respondable to our own lives. This may sound harsh, but it means we have autonomy, we are powerful, and we have agency.”

Noel Edmonds turned down Strictly Come Dancing because of curse fears

OHMYGOSSIP — Noel Edmonds was asked to do ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ – but was concerned about the “Strictly curse”.
The 69-year-old television presenter is to be a late addition to the ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ camp this week, but he has admitted the ITV reality show isn’t the first he’s been asked to do, as he was previously offered a place on BBC dance competition ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
Noel’s wife Elizabeth Davies is a “fully-trained dancer” and had originally planned to secretly teach the ‘Deal or No Deal’ host how to dance, but the pair gave up on the idea when they realised spending time with another professional dancer could put their marriage on the rocks.
He said: “I have been asked to do Strictly. Liz is a fully-trained singer and dancer and a couple of years ago she said, ‘Why don’t we cheat? Why don’t we say you’re a novice and I’ll teach you before’.
“Then I think there was one of those curse moments and I said to her, ‘Are you comfortable with me spending five or six days a week with a half-naked woman draped all over me?’ And it’s funny how the conversation just changed.
“We’ve got something very, very special.”
The ‘Noel’s House Party’ star doesn’t think he’d make a good dancer anyway, regardless of his wife’s expert training.
He added: “I would be a cross between Ann Widdecombe and John Sergeant. But in my head I’m Fred Astaire. I don’t know why, nothing works – it’s hopeless, so I’d never do it.”
And whilst Noel might not need to learn how to dance, he has been training for his stint in the jungle, admitting he’s been eating critters from his garden in order to prepare his stomach for the Bushtucker trials.
Speaking to The Sun’s Bizarre TV Column, he said: “There are now no worms in our garden. [They taste like] exactly what you’d expect.”

Jason Derulo to make acting debut in Cats

OHMYGOSSIP — Jason Derulo has joined the cast of ‘Cats’.
The 29-year-old musician will make his feature film acting debut in the upcoming big screen adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s beloved musical, which is based on T.S. Eliot’s ‘Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats’ poetry collection.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the ‘Talk Dirty’ hitmaker will take on the role of rebellious feline Rum Tum Tugger.
Jason confirmed the news on Twitter on Tuesday (20.11.18) night, when he shared the link to the publication’s story and wrote: “Its official! Your boys a workin actor (sic)”
The singer will be joining the recently announced Rebel Wilson – who is playing the role of the lazy old Gumbie feline Jennyanydots – in the production, alongside the legendary Sir Ian McKellen (Gus the Theatre Cat) and Dame Judi Dench in the all-star cast.
Dench – who was due play Grizabella in the original West End production in 1981, until she was forced to withdraw through injury – takes on the role of Old Deuteronomy, whilst Idris Elba looks set to play villain feline Macavity, who uses his minions to try and capture Deuteronomy in the musical.
Jennifer Hudson, James Corden and Taylor Swift are also set to appear in the motion picture, which will be produced by Hooper, Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner and Debra Hayward, while Steven Spielberg will be one of the executive producers of the project.
The story follows a tribe of cats called the Jellicles as they make what is known as “the Jellicle choice”, in which they decide which cat will ascend to the Heaviside Layer and come back to a new life.
Meanwhile, ‘Lord of the Rings’ star Ian McKellen recently admitted he wants to find his “inner pussy” for his role in ‘Cats’.
He cheekily quipped: “I’m looking for the inner pussy – the ‘moggyiness’ that’s within us all …
“I’ve always wanted to be in a musical on stage so rather late in the day this is like a dream come true.”

Lady Gaga applauds Bradley Cooper’s ‘magic’ A Star Is Born work

OHMYGOSSIP — Lady Gaga says Bradley Cooper directing and acting in ‘A Star Is Born’ was like a “magic trick”.
The ‘Born This Way’ singer, who portrays Jackson Maine’s (Cooper) love interest Ally in the remake of the 1937 classic, has compared her co-star to the famous illusionist Harry Houdini for being able to take on two major roles so well.
She told Vanity Fair: “It was like a magic trick for us. . . . Really, he was like Houdini.”
The 32-year-old star found it fascinating that while the pair were acting out an “extremely emotional” and “awful conversation”, Cooper was still able to “comfort” her as he directed simultaneously.
She said: “We’re having this extremely emotional, awful conversation with each other and – at the same time – you have to completely trust your director.
In a moment where I’m almost untrusting of him and angry with him and insulted by him, I’m also, in the back of my mind, in the space of comfort, in the space of love.”
The scene is where Ally tackles the fading musician’s alcohol abuse and addiction issues, and Gaga admitted it was very moving as it’s something that she has experienced in her own life.
She said: “What was very special about that scene, for me anyways, was the themes of alcoholism and the theme of codependency and addiction – that is something that has affected me in my life.
“To share that with him was very, very special to me.
“He really honoured that. It’s an interesting thing to feel afraid and yet unafraid at the same time.
“I felt that way the whole time we filmed.
“That is a very heavy scene, but I will say that sense of vulnerability I felt this entire time we were filming, it was that exact thing – fear, but no fear.”

Shania Twain wants Celine Dion collaboration

OHMYGOSSIP — Shania Twain wants to pen a track for Celine Dion.
The 53-year-old singing legend has said she’d love to join forces with the iconic ‘My Heart Will Go On’ hitmaker, as she said it has been her “dream” to write a song for Celine because she thinks her voice is “extraordinary”.
Shania said: “One of my dreams has always been that she would record one of my songs. So yeah, I’d love her to sing one of my songs. I’m going to write one for her! I love her, she’s extraordinary.
“I could write the song, she could sing it.”
The ‘Man! I Feel Like a Woman!’ hitmaker is all about creating change in the music industry and alongside her plans to pen a track for Celine, she’s also launching a new singing competition series called ‘Real Country’, which she hopes will allow the country genre to look and sound different.
Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight’, Shania – who serves as executive producer and panelist on the show – said: “I love the difference in the fact that it is genre specific, it’s about country, we’ve got so many great artists out there that need to be discovered.
“We need to make room for them, especially for diversity. We need to make room for diversity. We need more women, stylistically, we have to take advantage of all the different styles that fall under country music. So this is my passion, ‘Real Country’.”
But the music icon will be hoping she stays dry whilst on the show, as she recently admitted to having peed herself on stage.
She said: “I was very clever in this one moment. I stood up from my chair to get up and sing. I peed myself, and the puddle, I just knocked my glass of water over.”

Unfortunately for fans though, the veteran rocker has been forced to postpone his planned performances, which were due to kick off on November 30, until 2019.
Joe wrote on Instagram: “Just wanted to thank everyone for all of the kind messages I’ve received this week. I’m home and doing well, but the doctor recommends a bit more downtime before getting out to rock again, so regrettably I had to cancel my upcoming tour dates.
“Was really looking forward to playing these shows with Brad and Gary and seeing all of you who were planning to come out and support us. We will be back out as soon as possible. Wishing you all happy holidays and looking forward to seeing you in 2019. (sic)”
The Aerosmith star previously took to Twitter to update his fans on his progress, writing: “Doing well, thanks for all the love and support!”
It was previously reported that Joe collapsed backstage at Madison Square Garden before he was taken into hospital.
And Joe’s rep subsequently released a statement confirming he was at a hospital in New York.
A statement read: “Following a guest performance during Billy Joel’s show last night at Madison Square Garden, Joe Perry experienced shortness of breath and was treated backstage by paramedics who gave the guitarist oxygen and used a tracheal tube to clear his airway before taking him to a hospital.
“This morning Perry remains in the hospital where he is alert and responsive.”

Joel Dommett misses Extra Camp after injuring head in rehearsals

OHMYGOSSIP — Joel Dommett was forced to miss last night’s (20.11.18) ‘I’m a Celebrity: Extra Camp’ after suffering an injury on set.
The 32-year-old presenter of the ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ companion show was badly knocked by a sign as severe winds played havoc in Australia during rehearsals, and was subsequently rushed to a nearby hospital where he received seven stitches in his head.
However, Joel – who came second in the 2016 series of the Australian jungle reality show – still had his sense of humour intact as he joked about having a “half day” and watched his colleagues Scarlett Moffatt – who beat Joel to be crowned Queen of the Jungle two years ago – and presenter Joe Swash from the comfort of his hotel room.
Joel reassured his followers and viewers that he will be returning to the show on Wednesday night (21.11.18).
Alongside a picture of himself getting fixed up in the medical room and a selfie taken afterwards, he wrote on instagram: “Unfortunately due to unforeseen windy circumstances blowing the set onto my head during rehearsals, I won’t be able to present Extra Camp this evening. I had seven stitches like a big brave boy and I’ll be back tomorrow. To be honest I’m less worried about my health and more worried that the show will be better without me. Half a day off school to go home and watch neighbours! Woo! GOOD LUCK @scarlettmoffatt and @realjoeswashy (sic)”
‘I’m a Celebrity: Extra Camp’ – which delivers all the gossip from inside the jungle – is aired directly after the main show every night from 10.00pm on ITV2.

Mark Labbett wanted Anne Hegerty to do trial

OHMYGOSSIP — Mark ‘The Beast’ Labbett has admitted voting for Anne Hegerty to undertake a Bushtucker Trial on ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’.
The ‘Chase’ star thought the “logical challenge” would suit his friend’s skills and give her a boost after she threatened to quit the show just hours after entering the jungle at the weekend, as well as the chance to move to the better camp.
He told The Sun online: “I voted for her to do this trial because I saw it was a logical and mental challenge. I thought, ‘Yipee, she can do that’.
“She’ll be really good at it and be moved to a better campsite.
“It’s a positive vote. People voted for her because they want her to do well.
“They made a point of saying it was a mental trial beforehand.
“Although after the keys challenge in the first episode Anne was a bit shocked and stunned, she talked her way through it.”
Despite Anne’s emotional outbursts in camp, the quiz expert is confident his friend – who got two out of ten stars in the ‘Monstrous Monoliths’ trial – will be “fine”.
He said: “She won’t bottle it all up and then have a complete mega meltdown.
“She will get it off her chest quite quickly, has a little cry and then gathers herself together.
“She has got a will of iron that lady, she’ll be fine.”
And Mark is backing Anne, who is nicknamed The Governess, to be named Queen of the Jungle, though he knows she’s got a lot of competition.
He said: “I can see a lot of people winning the show, Emily Atack has started off really well and John Barrowman.
“You don’t know what the Noel Edmonds factor will be when he comes in, because he’s such a big star and been around for so long. Will his fan base sweep all before it?
“The joy of ‘I’m a Celebrity…’ is it’s not always obvious who’s going to win from the start.
“It will be someone who the public suddenly starts taking a shine to.
“I’m hoping that this year it is Anne and the early signs are good.”

Shaun Wallace is proud of Anne Hegerty after facing her first Bushtucker Trial

OHMYGOSSIP — Shaun Wallace says it “tugged on his heartstrings” to watch Anne Hegerty face her first Bushtucker Trial.
The ‘Chase’ star admitted that he was “proud” watching his quiz show co-star as she fought her biggest fears to take part in her first Bushtucker Trial on ‘I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here’ although he found it hard to watch.
Speaking on ‘Lorraine’ he said: “It was [hard to watch] it tugged on my heartstrings actually to see her go through that. Anne is normally good under pressure, but she is out of her comfort zone.
“But more power to her, she’s doing very, very well and I’m very proud of her.”
Shaun added that Anne’s campmates are fond of her as they’re “seeing a more human side” to her stern alter-ego on the ITV show ‘The Governess’ and praised her for being open about her battle with Asperger’s Syndrome.
He said: “The campmates like her because you’re seeing the more human side to Anne which is really fantastic.
“And the fact that she’s announced to the world that she suffers from autism; it must be very difficult to cope with that condition in an environment totally outside of her comfort zone.
“But she’s trying her very, very best and I hope her efforts will take her all the way. The more she survives in the jungle the greater her chances of winning. And I think she can go all the way.”
Explaining her qualities that could crown her the winner, Shaun said: “Anne is resilient and she’s a tough cookie.
“That trial yesterday was a bit difficult, but the more trials she does, the more resilient you’ll see her. And her fellow campmates are giving her support and that will give her strength.”

Oscar Isaac: Leia’s Star Wars farewell is beautiful

OHMYGOSSIP — Oscar Isaac says ‘Star Wars: Episode IX’ deals with the death of Princess Leia in a “really beautiful way”.
Carrie Fisher – the actress who played the character, known as General Leia Organa in the new trilogy – sadly passed away in December 2016 at the age of 60 before the release of ‘Episode VIII – The Last Jedi’ and director Rian Johnson made the decision to not kill off Leia in his movie.
J.J. Abrams is back at the helm for the next sequel and although it is not known how Carrie’s passing in real life will affect how Leia is dealt with on-screen, Isaac insists fans will not be disappointed with the filmmaker’s story although he admits it has been painful for the cast to work without their late friend Carrie.
Speaking to The Daily Beast, the 39-year-old actor – who plays Resistance pilot Poe Dameron – said: “It deals with the amazing character that Carrie created in a really beautiful way. The story deals with that quite a bit. It’s a strange thing to be on the set and to be speaking of Leia and having Carrie not be around. There’s definitely some pain in that.”
One thing that is known is that Abrams will be able to bring Leia to life in his film by including unused footage from ‘Episode VII – The Force Awakens’.
There have also been rumours that some CGI scenes could be included following the use of that technology to show Princess Leia as she appeared in ‘Episode IV – A New Hope’ in ‘Star Wars’ prequel ‘Rogue One’.
Carrie’s brother Todd previously teased that his late sister’s ‘Star Wars’ farewell will be “magical” thanks to Abrams genius.
He said: “My sister and Princess Leia are the same thing. And the idea of that story stopping and her not carrying forward is very disturbing to me … It is awesome that it worked out this way and, thanks to director J.J. Abrams, this is going to be very magical and important to us all … It is not easy, I can tell you … But it is nice when you can put her back up on the screen and continue the story and continue the saga. That is important for all of us.”
