OHMYGOSSIP — The Rolling Stones have announced a US stadium tour for 2019.
The legendary rockers – made up of Sir Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts – have confirmed a run of 13 dates as part of their ongoing ‘No Filter’ tour.
Frontman Mick sang the announcement in a brilliant home video shared on Twitter, as he played guitar and belted out: “I just found out today, that we’re going to the USA. Where the hell we gonna live? Where the hell we gonna play? ”
The star went on to sing the places they’ll stop at on the road, kicking things off at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida on April 20.
From there, the Stones will play shows to fans in cities like Houston, Pasadena, Seattle, Philadelphia and New Jersey before bringing the tour to an end on June 21 at Chicago’s Soldier Field.
Bandmate Keith also commented on the exciting news, and admitted for the British band the upcoming stateside tour still felt like a homecoming.
He tweeted: “It’s great to be playing back in America. Feels like we’re coming home.”
The dates will mark their return to the US for the first time since 2016, and the official announcement followed speculation from fans after their logo appeared on several huge venues earlier this month.
Meanwhile, the ‘Paint It Black’ hitmakers’ manager recently hinted at the band’s possible plans for the future.
Joyce Smith said: “The schedule is being prepared about where we’re going to be over the next 12 months, in terms of some studio work, maybe some live plans or other projects that are coming through the door.
“On the way back from Warsaw, from the last gig on No Filter [tour], as we were on the plane, one of the principals, who shall remain nameless, said, ‘Joyce, could I just ask, is it okay to have August off?’ I think that says it all.”

Willem Dafoe says ‘history lied’ about Vincent van Gogh

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Willem Dafoe found that “history had lied” about Vincent van Gogh when he took on the role in the movie ‘At Eternity’s Gate’.
The 63-year-old actor portrays the 19th century Dutch Post-Impressionist painter in the Julian Schnabel directed flick, and like most people his understanding of Van Gogh was that he was a tortured soul who cut off part of his left ear with a razor.
However, from researching the role Dafoe discovered he was a misunderstood “hopeful character” who could be incredibly “joyous”.
Speaking to The Guardian newspaper about the iconic painter, Dafoe said: “He felt like he was painting in a new way. One of the things that changed for me in making this movie was the joyous part of him that we don’t see. He’s usually depicted as the poster boy for the tortured artists, but I would definitely say he’s a hopeful character. History lies!
“Flexibility is important for an actor. Otherwise corruption sets in. You get stuck in certain patterns, and a certain kind of performing language that keeps you from a kind of sense of discovery or danger or mystery.”
Despite having a screen career which has spanned four decades, the ‘Spider-Man’ star never had serious ambitions to become an actor when he started out and that helped him relate to playing the painter as like Van Gogh he is a perfectionist.
Dafoe added: “I was just a dopey kid that loved being in plays but I thought that was something that would pass, and one day I’d grow up and become an adult. It’s only after you’ve been working for a while that you say, ‘Well, I guess I’m an actor.’ It sounds suspicious, it sounds like, what, was I asleep? But somewhere deeply, I always thought I’d do something else. I like working from a place of zero and going towards something. Some people really respond to the idea of nailing it or executing it to perfection. I like perfection, I appreciate that.
“But I’m much better trying to find something than I am knowing something and executing and explaining it. I think it’s the difference between a craftsman and an artist. I aspire to be an artist.”
‘At Eternity’s Gate’ has a stellar cast which also includes Rupert Friend, Mads Mikkelsen, Emmanuelle Seigner and Oscar Isaac among others.

Jessica Hart’s refused to close dental gap

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Jessica Hart was banned from getting the gap in her teeth closed.
The 32-year-old model has never felt “ashamed” to have a space between her two front gnashers, and admitted that at the start of her fashion career, she was told not to change anything about her distinctive smile.
In an interview with Rosie Huntington-Whitley for Rosie Inc., she said: “When I first signed on as a model, my contract said that I couldn’t have the gap in my teeth closed.
“It’s such a funny thing because I’ve never known any other way. If I step outside of myself and look back, I’m like, ‘Oh, it’s a crazy thing. I have a gap in my teeth!’
“It’s one of those things that’s just so normal to me. I’ve never felt like it’s something to feel ashamed of or to have ‘fixed’.”
The star believes that one of the biggest beauty lessons she learned throughout her career is to “highlight natural features” rather than covering them up with make-up.
She said: “That’s one of the tricks I’ve learned in the make-up chair: Always work with what you have and highlight your natural features instead of trying to conceal them.
“If you have bushy eyebrows, roll with it. If you have rosy cheeks, work with it. Learn the colours that work for you. It’s so much easier once you know yourself.”
The model admitted that she’s the most confident when around family and doesn’t care about what others think if she’s hanging out with her sister.
She said: “These days, I get a lot of comfort in being around my family. Whenever I’m around my sister, I feel so confident. It’s the only time I’m probably not thinking about what other people think.”

Mariah Carey was ‘very intimidated’ by Aretha Franklin

OHMYGOSSIP — Mariah Carey felt “very intimidated” when she duetted with her idol Aretha Franklin.
The ‘Hero’ hitmaker has opened up about the day the pair hit the stage together for VH1’s ‘Divas Live’ in 1998, which saw them perform the late Queen of Soul’s hit song ‘Chain of Fools’.
The pair only got the chance to rehearse once, hours before going on stage, and the 48-year-old megastar confessed she was so nervous, she didn’t want to do the gig.
Recalling what it was like performing with the music icon – who passed away after a battle with pancreatic cancer at the age of 76 in August – she spilled: “I was very intimidated and didn’t want to perform with her.
“Everybody else was like, ‘Let me have it.’
“And I’m not saying anything against anybody else, but I felt there was a thing where it was like they wanted to be able to say they took her on.
“I was like, ‘I’ll be with the background singers, okay?’ That’s the Queen of Soul.”
Mariah didn’t divulge what exactly took place behind the scenes, but hinted there was some drama.
Doing an impression of the ‘Respect’ hitmaker, she told Andy Cohen on ‘Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen’: “She said to me, ‘Mariah they’re playing games, and I’m not having the games. So we won’t be rehearsing tonight.”
The ‘We Belong Together’ hitmaker then hinted that she may spill all about the infamous event in her memoir, teasing: “I’m working on my memoirs.”
When Aretha sadly passed away, Mariah took to Twitter to pay tribute to the ‘Natural Woman’ singer and thanked her for the huge impact she had on her career.
In a series of tweets, she said: “You showed me I could sing the songs I wanted to sing and bring God with me.
You’ve inspired millions everywhere yet never left home, never left church. Today the entire world mourns your home-going and celebrates all the brilliance you left behind.
“I will forever cherish the moments I spent in your presence. Your indelible impact was earned not only by your incomparable voice but by your bigger than life personality, wit and humor.
“I say a big prayer for you. You will forever have all our respect. (sic)”

Michael B. Jordan has hooked up with women via social media

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Michael B. Jordan has been on dates with women he’s met through social media.
The ‘Black Panther’ star opened up about his love life on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ on Tuesday (20.11.18), where he admitted he’s used apps like Twitter and Instagram to meet girls in the past.
When fellow guest Chrissy Teigen quizzed him on whether he’s ever gone on a date with someone after sliding into their DM’s, he spilled: “Yes, I have. I’m human, I’m human. Not often, but yes I have.”
However, the 31-year-old actor insisted that he’s been too busy working to find a love interest.
He added: “I’ve been working [like] crazy, so not really had the time to properly date.”
The producer recently admitted he doesn’t really “know what dating is”.
Commenting on his big screen success, the ‘Creed II’ actor said: “My career is awesome. It is going great. There’s other places in my life that I’m f***ing lacking at.
“I’m very mature and advanced in a lot of areas of life. Dating may not be one of ’em. My personal life is not. I don’t really know what dating is.”
However, Michael also explained that his fame plays a big part in finding love, because it makes it harder to get to know someone.
While he accepted that the options are still there, he insisted it was better to focus on his career and himself for now, rather than the “nuances of dating”.
He added: “But it’s like, I could meet you, right now, boom, right here. Me and you sitting here chilling, whatever. Meal, whatever. Somebody could be over there, see this. And all of a sudden, you’re my girl now.
“So then they’re going to talk about you, they’re going to find out who you are. They’re gonna find out what your Instagram is, they’re going to find us in that.
“And all the fan club and everybody else is going to find out who you are, and now you and I are forever associated with one another.
“So now, how do you go anywhere normal, chill, just getting to know somebody that you just met, that you may not – may or may not – hit it off at all? That part of dating is tough.”

Marvin and Rochelle Humes to host their own Saturday night show

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Marvin and Rochelle Humes are to host their own Saturday night show.
The celebrity couple are delighted to have landed their own prime-time series, which has been billed as a modern version of ‘Name That Tune.’
They said: “This is our first standalone show together and the fact it’s a format based on our love of music makes it all the more rewarding.
“We frequently put each other’s knowledge to the test at home, so we cannot wait to see how the contestants get on.”
‘Playlisters’ will be a six-part BBC One series that will feature three couples each week competing to win £10,000 by listening to pop songs and naming the title and artists.
The show will play a diverse array of hits – ranging from 60s tunes to current chart numbers.
The original ‘Name That Tune’ was a hit show which ran on ITV for more than a decade. Tom O’Connor presented from 1976 to 1983, and then Lionel Blair took over until the show was axed in 1988.
It was then picked up by Channel 5 in 1997 with Jools Holland hosting, but ended quickly in 1988.
But The BBC have high hopes for the upcoming revival because they believe Marvin and Rochelle’s star power will draw in viewers and keep them hooked.
BBC entertainment boss Kate Phillips said: “I can’t think of a better way to kick off Saturday nights.
“Hosted by the deeply competitive Rochelle and Marvin Humes, it’ll have everyone at home singing along.”
Marvin, 33 and his wife Rochelle, 29, were both in successful pop bands, JLS and The Saturdays, before turning towards presenting and have previously co-hosted on ‘This Morning’.
‘Playlisters’ is set to air in 2019.

Chris Pratt set to bring back The Saint

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Chris Pratt is reportedly set to star in a relaunch of ‘The Saint’.
The 39-year-old actor is in talks with Paramount to play Simon Templar, a Robin Hood-like character who targets corrupt politicians, drug dealers and other criminals using his charm and various aliases to commit his crimes for good.
Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura wants to bring ‘The Saint’ back to the screen’ and has made Pratt his number one choice.
The character was first created by novelist Leslie Charteris and featured in a series of books published between 1928 and 1963.
Templar was brought to life off the page in some radio dramas in the 1940s and several films but it was Sir Roger Moore’s portrayal of Templar in the 1960s TV series ‘The Saint’ which is best remembered.
In 1997, Val Kilmer portrayed the character on the big screen but his portrayal – which lacked much of the humour and wit of previous incarnations – was panned by critics and earned him a Golden Raspberry Award nomination for Worst Actor for his performance in the film.
If Pratt does take on the role then it will be the fourth major franchise that he is part of.
The actor portrays Star-Lord in the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ films and other movies in Marvel Cinematic Universe, Owen Grady in the ‘Jurassic World’ series and mini-brick hero Emmet Brickowski in ‘The Lego Movie’ series.

Gal Gadot was so ‘excited’ to sing in Ralph Breaks the Internet

OHMYGOSSIP — Gal Gadot was “very excited” about getting ‘Ralph Breaks The Internet’.
The directors of the upcoming Disney animation, Rich Moore and Phil Johnston, revealed that when they asked the 33-year-old actress to play Shank in the ‘Wreck-It Ralph’ series she was overjoyed at the prospect of making her singing debut with ‘A Place Called Slaughter Race’.
In an interview with Collider, Phil said: “We got on the phone with her and had a lovely conversation with her about who this character was and what her relationship was. The fact that she got to sing a song was very exciting to her and yeah it’s over the last year maybe we’ve been working with her.”
The pair also admitted that they wanted a “cool, calm, collected and wise” actress to star as Shank opposite the “bumbling” titular character, Ralph, played by John C. Reilly, who could act as a “big sister” to the Vanellope, voiced by Sarah Silverman.
Phil said: “I mean when we started envisioning the Slaughter Race world we knew we wanted a character that would sort of function as a big sister to Vanellope in the same way Ralph is sort of like a bumbling big brother. So whoever that was needed to be the opposite of Ralph, cool, calm, collected, wise, lived a lot of life and learned from the life she had lived and so we’re like, ‘Oh like a Gal Gadot type.’
“Someone’s like, ‘Well why don’t you just ask he to do it.’ I’m like, ‘Yeah sure that could happen, why not,’ and so we wrote her a letter and explained the character and sent the script she read the script presumably read the letter.”

Pharrell Williams’ new clothing line was ‘culturally influenced’

OHMYGOSSIP — Pharrell Williams’ new clothing line was “culturally influenced”.
The 45-year-old musician’s latest range with sportswear giant Adidas, Solar Hu, attempts to “tap into different stories” of people he admires and he wants to use the brand to “to illustrate the beauty” of diversity.
Speaking to WWD, he said: “This one was culturally influenced. The core of what it is we do visually, beyond the clothes, is we try to tap into different stories of people that I admire, or take inspiration from.
“A lot of the people in our campaigns were of Sudanese, Senegalese and Kenyan descent because we wanted to highlight some of the beautiful skin complexion that’s often seen there.
“We’re using our platform to illustrate the beauty that is in the diversity of other colours. Not many brands in the past were willing to stand with ethnic stories in such a real, authentic way.
“If they did it, they would do it in ways they felt were palatable.”
The line takes inspiration from both high fashion and streetwear and the ‘Happy’ hitmaker confessed that it took a “whole lot of arguing” to prove the two styles would work well together.
He said: “Just like anyone else, I wore both [designer clothing and streetwear] It’s not like I discovered anything.
“We just did a whole lot of arguing [with those in high fashion] to get people to see that they were putting these partitions up.
“If you look at what pop culture was doing on its own, beyond what you could get at a retail store or a boutique, everyone was always mixing it up.”

Paloma Faith was obsessed with her man’s ex on social media

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Paloma Faith has joked she “fanatically stalked” her partner’s ex-girlfriend on Instagram.
The 37-year-old singer wrote a song named ‘Your Ex’ – which features on the ‘Zeitgeist Edition’ of her album ‘The Architect’ – about a time when she became “obsessed” with her boyfriend Leyman Lahcine’s former girlfriend on social media when she was on maternity leave caring for their child.
In an interview on ‘This Morning’, Paloma said: “For ‘The Zeitgeist’ … it’s about my personal experience. So I’ve gone back to writing from an emotional perspective. I’ve found I write better in hindsight then in the moment and now my child is approaching two years old, I’m a bit better at knowing what happened. There’s one for my baby, there’s one for my mother. Then there is like a funny on that is about me being obsessed, but it’s true!
“When I was breast feeding in a dark room by my boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend stalking on Instagram. I got fanatical. It’s called ‘Your Ex’ this song and it’s all about the imaginary world that she’s so amazing and why did you leave her. So it’s quite feminist because it’s very, like, ‘Oh god she’s beautiful and intelligent.’ It went from obsession to actual love. I think I loved her.”
Paloma welcomed her child – whose gender she is refusing to reveal – in December 2016, and she willing admits that partnered with her joy at becoming a parent were some hard times too.
She explained: “I think it was much more difficult than I anticipated because I hadn’t heard the truth and not enough people talk about it.
“I found it difficult, the pull between wanting to be the greatest mother ever, and also trying to sustain and inherently sort of selfish career.
“You have to be quite egotistical to some level but also self-deprecating to be an artist and musician. It was quite hard to find a balance between those two things.”

Emily Ratajkowski loves bold make-up looks

OHMYGOSSIP — Emily Ratajkowski embraces bold make-up looks.
The 27-year-old model usually favours a glowing bronzed look but her make-up artist, Hung Vanngo, is happy she’s also always up for an adventurous eye and has worn “red and blue eyeshadow” in the past.
Speaking to Elle magazine, he said: “I think 99 percent of women want to look bronzy, and sexy. Emily’s quite open to make-up and I’ve done red eyeshadow and blue eyeshadow before. She is actually so beautiful and a little bronzer enhances everything right away.”
Hung is known for his use of colour and the make-up artist loves to use bold products paired with monochrome outfits.
He said: “I think the client trusts me. I usually present the idea and they go for it. I always try to use the clothes as a reference and if they just wear black, that’s when we have more freedom to do what we want with colour.”
The beauty guru also swears by exfoliation in order to achieve the brunette beauties signature clear complexion and suggests “a good cleanser and moisturiser” in place of expensive serums.
He said: “One thing that a lot of people forget to do is exfoliation. It’s important to do that at least twice a week and it makes a huge difference with skin texture. Women who wear a lot of make-up and cleanse their face, it’s never cleansed enough.
“Treat yourself here and there and go for a mask. If people can’t afford serum, all of these fancy things, go with a good cleanser and moisturiser.
“There’s one from St. Ives that I used to use years ago when I didn’t have any money. There are a lot of low-budget face scrubs. ”

James Buckley won’t let kids watch The Inbetweeners

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — James Buckley would “never” let his kids watch ‘The Inbetweeners’.
The 31-year-old actor played foul-mouthed Jay Cartwright in the E4 series, and as a result of his alter-ego’s crude antics he doesn’t want his and wife Clair Meek’s children, Harrison, seven, and Jude, five, to ever see the comedy show.
He said: “I would never let them watch ‘The Inbetweeners’.
“It’s different for me as I’m supposed to be their dad. I don’t want them to see me behaving in that way. I already have very little respect from them to begin with and I don’t want to lose it completely.”
James also doesn’t believe ‘The Inbetweeners’ – which aired from 2008 to 2010, and spawned two movies – would be made nowadays, because people would be too “offended” by the show’s jokes.
He said: “I think it would be really difficult. It’s a bit of a shame to say that. I think it seems to be cool and trendy to be offended by things.”
The ‘Zapped’ star believes such an attitude is “killing comedy”.
Speaking on ‘Good Morning Britain’, he added: “It’s a shame. It’s sort of killing comedy. You can’t joke about anything.
“Nobody means it, it’s just a flippant comment or a joke.”
James is set to reunite with his co-stars Simon Bird, Blake Harrison and Joe Thomas for a special one-off comeback show, which will be the first time the four stars have appeared on the small screen together since the sitcom’s final episode, ‘The Camping Trip’ in 2010.
Tom Beck, Channel 4’s head of live events and commissioning editor for entertainment, said: “Will, Jay, Simon and Neil spent years failing to sneak into the best parties, so I’m very pleased to throw one that they’re definitely invited to.
“I just hope Will brings his Mum.”

Jim Carrey’s isolated life

OHMYGOSSIP — Jim Carrey lives an “isolated” life.
The ‘Dumb and Dumber’ star admits he likes to keep himself to himself when he’s not working but says he enjoys having that alone time.
He told Radio Times magazine: “You could describe my home life as an isolated life. I spend a lot of time by myself but I like being by myself, so it’s OK. That might be strange to some people, but I enjoy it.”
Meanwhile, the 56-year-old actor previously insisted he isn’t bothered about what people will think of him when he dies.
Asked how he wants to be remembered, he said: “I’m free of the business. I’m not the business. I don’t care what people think of me after I die. All I want is for people to think of me as a good energy here, a nice fragrance that has been left behind … What’s happening is really good, but there is some really bad in there too. Some people have come at me in the last couple of years with the intent of breaking off a piece of the Holy Grail for themselves, but the Grail isn’t a thing that you can break off. So they’re going to learn that the hard way. It’s not pleasant.”
Jim has battled with depression in the past but he is feeling more positive as of late.
He added: “I’m sometimes happy. At this point, I don’t have depression. There is not an experience of depression. I had that for years, but now, when the rain comes, it rains, but it doesn’t stay. It doesn’t stay long enough to immerse me and drown me anymore.”

Bob Mortimer felt ‘nervous’ for Vic Reeves on Coronation Street

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Bob Mortimer was “nervous” for his comedy partner Vic Reeves when he appeared on ‘Coronation Street’.
The 59-year-old comedian felt apprehensive for his pal – whose real name is Jim Moir – when he landed the role of former newsagent chain boss Colin Callen on the ITV soap in 2017, but Vic’s character made him laugh so much he soon felt relieved.
He said: “When he was in the jungle, I was just, ‘What!’ And then on ‘Coronation Street’, I’ll admit I did get nervous.
“Eleven million watch it and I thought, ‘Oh this is a big deal.’
“Then I turned it on and Jim was in a shop messing about, and he put a stance on and I laughed my head off.
“It was, ‘Phew!’ ”
While Bob is a big fan of his pal’s other roles when they aren’t working together, Vic admits he doesn’t always watch his friend’s shows, such as his stints on panel show ‘Would I Lie To You?’, because the funnyman doesn’t take in “any comedy” on TV.
Speaking in a joint interview with Radio Times magazine, Vic added: “I like the fishing one, but I don’t watch any of those panel shows.
“I just don’t watch them. It’s not in my area. They’re really dull. But I don’t watch any comedy, to be honest.
“I give it a brief look.”
Earlier this year, Vic admitted he could make a cobbles comeback at some point, and hinted he would love to reprise his role as Colin on the soap.
He said: “Colin’s departure isn’t final, so he could be back. I’d certainly love to return.”
