Alex Rodriguez knows he’s a lucky guy to date J-Lo

OHMYGOSSIP — Alex Rodriguez is worried girlfriend Jennifer Lopez will kick him out one day.
The 43-year-old retired basketball star has been dating the stunning singer for two years now and are very loved up, but he fears his luck could run out with his 49-year-old partner.
After ‘Good Morning Britain’ presenter Piers Morgan gushed over how “utterly” beautiful J-Lo is, her man laughed: “I just hope she doesn’t wake up and say, ‘OK, your time is up, get out!’ ”
His comments follow reports A-Rod has put his own four bedroom Hollywood Hills West home up for sale at $6.5 million, months after the couple bought a $15.3 million luxury apartment in New York City.
Meanwhile, the former sportsman recently revealed he wants to do something “creative” for his partner to mark the festive period, rather than “going out and buying something expensive”.
Speaking about the potential Christmas gift, he said: “It has to be something creative. I can’t just go out and buy something expensive.
“For Jennifer, something that is handwritten or maybe is a photo – I don’t want to give any secrets away for this holiday. It’s something that is heartfelt. It is something that resembles a memory that we’ve had together that involves our children or involves our home. Ultimately, that’s what it is all about.”
Jennifer previously revealed she feels as though she’s developed a more mature attitude towards her relationships over the years.
She said: “When we met, we’d both already done a lot of work on ourselves. Everybody has flaws, and the people I want in my life are the people who recognise that and are willing to work on those flaws. It’s super-important: someone who’s willing to look at themselves and say, ‘OK, I’m not great here’ or ‘I could do better there.'”

Margot Robbie unveils full Birds of Prey title

OHMYGOSSIP — Margot Robbie has unveiled the full title of the standalone Harley Quinn movie.
The 28-year-old actress took to Instagram on Tuesday (20.11.18) to reveal the upcoming DC Comics movie will be called ‘Birds of Prey (and the Fabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)’.
Posting a photo of the front of the script, Margot simply captioned it with a smiley face.
Warner Bros. confirmed the movie’s title on their Twitter page and also reiterated that the release date has currently been set for February 7, 2020.
The ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ star is set to produce the movie, which is expected to feature a villain that has never before appeared on the big screen in a DC movie whilst Black Canary, Huntress, Cassandra Cain and Renee Montoya will be the main players in Harley Quinn’s girl gang in the blockbuster. The project is being directed by Cathy Yan.
Margot first pitched the idea of a Harley Quinn spin-off film in 2015, and she’s spent the last few years developing a clear idea for the project.
She previously explained: “I pitched the idea of an R-rated girl gang film including Harley, because I was like, ‘Harley needs friends.’ Harley loves interacting with people, so don’t ever make her do a standalone film. She’s got to be with other people, it should be a girl gang. I wasn’t seeing enough girl gangs on screen, especially in the action space. So that was always a big part of it.”

Robert De Niro splits from Grace Hightower?

OHMYGOSSIP — Robert De Niro and Grace Hightower are reportedly splitting up after two decades of marriage.
The ‘Goodfellas’ star is said to have split from his spouse and are expected to make a formal announcement in the coming weeks.
A source told the New York Post’s Page Six column: “They are not living together at this time.”
Whilst an insider added to People magazine: “Sometimes things don’t work out the way you hope or want them to.”
Robert and Grace tied the knot in 1997 after 10 years of dating. However, the couple went through a bit of a rocky patch two years into their marriage, which saw Robert file for divorce, but he later pulled the papers. The couple also renewed their wedding vows 14 years ago, joined by their good friends including Meryl Streep, Ben Stiller and Martin Scorsese.
Robert is notoriously private about his relationship with Grace but the pair are outspoken about their belief that their son’s autism is linked to vaccinations.
Explaining how Grace believes the teenager “changed overnight” after being vaccinated as a child, Robert said: “The vaccines are dangerous to certain people who are more susceptible. Nobody seems to want to address that, or they say they’ve addressed it and it’s a closed issue but it doesn’t seem to be. There are many people who will come out and say I saw my kid change overnight. I saw what happened, I should have done something and I didn’t. There’s more to this than meets the eye, believe me.”

Gaz Coombes’s daughter broke his leg

OHMYGOSSIP — Gaz Coombes has cancelled several solo tour dates after his daughter broke his leg with a painful “Bruce Lee” move.
The 42-year-old Supergrass frontman – who has two daughters 15-year-old Raya and Tiger, 10 with his partner Jools Poore – has sent fans into a frenzy when he posted his x-ray on Instagram on Monday morning (20.11.18), which shows a fracture in his joint being held together by metal screws after his daughter sent him into “surgery” with a karate kick.
Speaking to his loyal fans on social media, Gaz captioned the post: “I’ve only gone & broken my leg! Larking around with the kids I got “Bruce Lee’d” by my 15 year old, and let’s just say she connected too well.”

Kim Kardashian West hints family Christmas card could be cancelled

OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Kardashian West has hinted plans for a Kardashian family Christmas card have been scrapped this year.
The 38-year-old beauty and her famous family come together every year to release special festive themed images that encompass their ever growing family tree.
But following a year plagued with drama – including Khloe Kardashian’s boyfriend Tristan Thompson being seen getting close to another woman just days before their daughter True’s birth, and Kim’s husband Kanye West making several controversial comments on social media – the family might leave their annual tradition this year.
When one fan on Twitter wrote: “I feel like with the drama that happened last year, we may not get a Kardashian Christmas card this year.”
Kim responded: “Wow reading my mind.”
Although 2018 was a dramatic one for the Kardashian and Jenner clan, it also saw the birth of three new babies – Kim’s daughter Chicago, 10 months, who was born via surrogate, Khloe’s daughter True, seven months, and Kylie Jenner’s daughter Stormi, nine months – who would be making their Christmas card debut if the family do decide to go ahead with the photos.
The news comes as Kim’s younger sister Khloe, 34, has reportedly been struggling with what to do in the wake of Tristan’s cheating scandal.
It has been claimed she’s not “defining” their relationship and will only refer to him as “True’s dad”, but will still be spending Thanksgiving (22.11.18) in Cleveland with him for the sake of their daughter.
An insider said: “Tristan’s schedule worked out so they could spend Thanksgiving together in Cleveland.
“It’s True’s first Thanksgiving and Khloe wants to celebrate it as a family. It’s very important to her that True has her own family traditions and is with both her mom and dad.”
But Khloe is reportedly still unsure about moving to Cleveland from Los Angeles full time, after finding it “hard” dealing with the basketball player’s alleged infidelity.
The source added: “She is still very happy in L.A. with her family support and the thought of being back in Cleveland by herself is unsettling.
“She isn’t making long-term plans and is just taking it little by little and seeing what happens.
“He’s very conflicted and tries her best to stay focused on True and all the joys of motherhood.
“It’s complicated with Tristan, but he’s True’s dad and that’s what matters most to Khloe.”

Ellie Rowsell sees an increase in young female guitarists

OHMYGOSSIP — Wolf Alice’s Ellie Rowsell thinks there’s been a recent increase in young female guitarists.
The 26-year-old musician believes there’s been a shift in attitudes towards girls in the music industry which has led to an more female fans telling her the band inspired them to pick up the instrument.
In an interview with the Times, she said: “I have noticed lots more girls are coming up to me and saying, ‘Hey, I started the guitar!”
When asked what the reason for this was, she explained: “Well, I never had that attitude of ‘I’m going to do this because it looks like I can’t’, which is happening much more among young girls at the moment.
“It’s to do with #MeToo. People are considering all the things they never considered before.”
Despite the band’s clear impact on their fans, the group – comprised of Ellie, Joff Oddie, Joel Amey and Theo Ellis – felt “guilty” about winning this year’s Mercury Prize.
The ‘Beautifully Unconventional’ hitmakers were awarded the prestigious accolade for their second LP, ‘Visions of a Life’, in September and though they were “proud” to be recognised, they were quickly “deflated” following a backlash that accused the panel of making a “safe” choice.
Ellie admitted: “It’s hard. Because winning was great — we celebrated. I felt proud. Then you read all these things and you deflate. I felt guilty. ‘I’m sorry I won this, please give it to someone else.’ And I don’t want to do that.”
Joff previously recalled: “People were angry. They thought we were the safe option.”
Ellie – who was on the 2016 judging panel – said: “But the safe option is always the left-field choice, because nobody can be angry. They go, ‘Oh, it’s nice to give them a boost!’ ”

The 30-year-old singer is said to be expecting his first child with girlfriend Lina Valentina, according to a source who told the happy news to E! News.
Aaron recently hinted to the big news on Twitter, but didn’t confirm anything as he said he and Lina “might be expecting”.
He wrote: “I’m in such an amazing place mentally, physically & emotionally. I finally bought my first home and I’m going to be proposing soon to my gf and we might just be expecting… (sic)”
The source added to E! News that the ‘I Want Candy’ hitmaker could be set to propose within the next week.
Aaron has previously spoken about his desire to settle down, as he admitted his “goal” was to become a father, and said he had been thinking about adopting.
He said: “I was thinking about adopting. I want kids so bad. My goal is to be a father. I turned 30 and I’m like, ‘Alright, my resolution is to have a kid.’ But not just a kid. A beautiful woman or man, because we can have kids too. But it has to be [with] the right person. So I’m 30 and my dad was popping out kids by the time he was 30 so I better hurry up! But I do really want to have kids.”
And the singer also recently took to social media to declare his love for Lina, saying he is convinced they will “grow old together”.

But I want you to know I will never fall out of love with you. I’m coming home to you tomorrow. (sic)”

Colin Farrell almost got a spot in Boyzone

OHMYGOSSIP — Boyzone have revealed that Colin Farrell got down to the last 10 hopefuls to be in the pop group.
Like the five eventual members – Ronan Keating, Shane Lynch, Keith Duffy, Stephen Gately and Mikey Graham – the now Hollywood star tried out to be in the boy band and he got close to be selected by Louis Walsh to be part of the final lineup.
But Colin’s loss was Mikey’s gain as he got a second chance at being part of the act.
In an interview on UK TV show ‘Lorraine’, Mikey recalled: “Colin was in the last 10. As was I. Both me and Colin and two other chaps didn’t get into the band the first time around. I’m sure Colin was broken-hearted about that!”
Boyzone have just released their final album ‘Thank You & Goodnight’ this month to celebrate their 25th anniversary and they will embark on their last ever tour in 2019.
Lead singer Ronan is so pleased that he and the guys – minus Stephen who tragically died in October 2009 at the age of 33 – made the decision to get back together to mark the anniversary as they can say goodbye to their fans properly.
He said: “It’s been 25 brilliant years. It’s a nice thing to be able to do as a band to kind of write the final chapter ourselves and go out the way we want to go out. The album’s out now and we feel our best piece of work. The tour sold really well, which kicks off in January.”
‘Dumbo’ star Colin has previously opened up on his audition for Boyzone and unlike most people who responded to an advertisement that appeared in many Irish newspapers in 1993 asking for singers to try out for the group the hunk was personally approached by former ‘X Factor’ judge Louis.
He said: “So I was on a dance floor in Dublin and I was 17, in leather trousers and a rubber T-shirt – I’ll spare no embarrassing details – when Louis Walsh came up to me and said, ‘I’m forming a band, they’re going to be huge, do you want to be in it?’ I said, ‘Yeah’, so I went to an audition the next day and there were 150 lads outside the door with various spray-tans, tight T-shirts… I went in and sang ‘Careless Whisper’ twice … they asked me to sing it again because they couldn’t believe how shocking I was!”
Colin eventually got his big acting break in 1998 when he appeared in TV series ‘Ballykissangel’.

Carrie Underwood is ‘so thankful’

OHMYGOSSIP — Carrie Underwood is “so thankful” to be pregnant following three devastating miscarriages.
The ‘Cry Pretty’ hitmaker is expecting her second child with husband Mike Fisher and is thrilled that their three-year-old son Isaiah is finally going to get a sibling.
Holding back the tears, Carrie told Us Weekly: “It took us a while to get here … I’m gonna cry again. [I’m] just so thankful to find out Isaiah’s gonna have a baby brother. It was just great news. We’re excited.”
Speaking about how she manages to juggle being a mother with her hectic work schedule, she said: “Balance is what it’s all about, no matter what your job is.
“Being a mom, working and dividing your time. It’s what we all have to do as mothers.”
The 35-year-old singer revealed the sex of her unborn baby at the Country Music Association Awards last week at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, after her co-host Brad Paisley joked that he would reveal her little one’s gender, like he did at the ceremony in 2014.
He said: “Remember last time when I accidentally revealed the gender of your baby?”
Carrie replied: “I mean, who could ever forget #Bradblewit?”
Brad then joked that Carrie’s husband may not be the father of her unborn baby.
He said: “Tonight we’re going to reveal something even more exciting.
“Who the father is … Mike we’re all rooting for you buddy. What’s your gut feeling? Seriously, Carrie give me a little baby hint. Johnny or June? Keith or Nicole? Garth or Trisha? Tim or Faith? George or Tammy? Waylon or Willie?”
Carrie then replied: “Oh my gosh, Willie! It’s a Willie!”
Carrie recently admitted her second pregnancy is “harder” than the first time around.
She said: “It’s definitely different than the first time. When they say every pregnancy is different, it really is. Just different symptoms.
“I feel like this one is just a little harder on my body for some reason. But it’s been really good.”
Carrie and Mike have picked out a name for their little one, but are keeping the moniker under wraps for now.
She said: “We have picked out a name, but we’re keeping that to ourselves right now.”

Marvin and Rochelle Humes land Saturday night music quiz show

OHMYGOSSIP — Marvin and Rochelle Humes are set to host a new Saturday night music quiz show.
The former JLS band member and Saturdays star have landed their first “stand-alone show” together, ‘Playlisters’ on BBC One, and can’t wait to put the contestants’ music knowledge to the test as it’s something they already do at home.
They commented: “It’s our first stand-alone 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.”
The new show is being dubbed a modern day ‘Name That Tune’ – which ran between 1976 and 1998, and was presented by Tom O’Connor, Lionel Blair and Jools Holland over the years – and will feature six episodes.
Each week, three couples will battle it out to win £10,000 by listening to chart hits and golden oldies and naming the title and artist of each song correctly.
BBC bosses are thrilled to have the Capital DJ and Heart Saturday drivetime show host on board, as they believe their “deeply competitive” nature will be a huge hit with viewers.
The broadcaster’s 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 Rochelle, 29, often step in to co-host ITV’s ‘This Morning’ in the absence of Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes and Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.
The couple – who tied the knot in 2012, and have Alaia-Mai, five, and 19-month-old Valentina Raine together – have a wealth of pop knowledge between them.
Marvin hosts The Official Vodafone Big Top 40 chart show and Rochelle is one fifth of the girl group The Saturdays – who sold over eight million records and have been on hiatus since 2014 – and hits with ‘What About Us’ and ‘Just Can’t Get Enough’.

Audrina Patridge gets primary custody of her daughter for now

OHMYGOSSIP — Audrina Patridge is to get primary custody of her daughter.
The ‘Hills’ star has been awarded primary custody of her and her ex-husband Corey Bohan’s two-year-old daughter Kirra Max for the time being whilst the pair work out other issues through a mediator, The Blast reports.
The pair are said to be still working out a final custody schedule as well as the amount of child support to be paid. And the former couple have been ordered to stay more than 100 yards from each other at all times “except for the brief and peaceful exchange of the parties’ daughter, Kirra Max Patridge Bohan”.
Audrina and Corey – who reached a divorce settlement earlier this month – are likely to battle it out in court again after Corey filed documents to legally prevent Audrina from featuring their daughter on the upcoming reboot of MTV reality series ‘The Hills’.
Corey requested that “neither party allow the minor child to be filmed or to appear in any reality television production without the express, written consent of the other parent” and “any prior consent for the minor child to appear on ‘The Hills’ reboot to be revoked and proof of revocation to be provided”. He also requested “a specific order restraining Audrina from allowing Kirra to appear on any reality television program including, without limitation, ‘The Hills’ without my prior written consent”.
Corey had previously wrote on his private Instagram account: “I refuse to think it’s ok for our 2yr old daughter Kirra Bohan to be shown & exploited on Reality TV. Not just my child by anyone’s for that matter. This is about our daughter Kirra Bohan (sic)”

Rebel Wilson joins Cats movie

OHMYGOSSIP — Rebel Wilson has joined the cast of ‘Cats’.
The ‘Bridesmaids’ actress will portray the lazy old Gumbie feline Jennyanydots 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.
The 38-year-old Australian actress joins 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 in the movie, and his alter ego and his minions 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.
‘Lord of the Rings’ star McKellen recently admitted he wants to find his “inner pussy” for his role in ‘Cats’.
The 79-year-old veteran actor joked he will embrace his “moggyiness” for his performance.
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.”
Meanwhile, Wilson previously revealed she has three movies coming out in 2019.
She tweeted: “Ooooo. Been working so hard behind the scenes this year. Can’t wait for you guys to see the 3 movies I’m in next year. (sic)”

Jude Law: The world is ready for gay Dumbledore

OHMYGOSSIP — Jude Law thinks “the world is ready” to see Albus Dumbledore as a gay icon.
The 45-year-old actor stars as a young version of the wizard made famous in the ‘Harry Potter’ franchise in the new movie ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald’, and has said he believes fans of the magical franchise are ready to see the Hogwarts headmaster embrace his sexuality.
He said: “The world is ready [for an openly gay Dumbledore], and if it isn’t, it bloody well should be.”
Dumbledore’s sexuality was never explored in J.K. Rowling’s ‘Harry Potter’ book series as she only made the revelation that he was gay in 2007, and was also never added to the main ‘Harry Potter’ movies.
But in the ‘Fantastic Beasts’ spin-off saga, his sexuality is explicitly portrayed, and whilst Jude can’t divulge details on what’s in the film, he insists that it doesn’t “define” who Dumbledore is.
Speaking to the New York Times, Jude added: “Put it this way: This film is not about his homosexuality, nor does his sexuality define him. But that relationship is certainly a defining element of who he is and what he’s about. I also don’t think he’s someone who has given his heart or his soul to many people. The aftermath of their relationship left him reeling, and he’s packed his heart in ice, to be honest, and no one’s quite thawed it.”
Meanwhile, Jude recently revealed he received a huge confidence boost on the set of the new movie, after author J.K. Rowling told him she was pleased with his casting.
He said: “When the boss says, ‘I like you,’ it gives you a little bit of comfort. You can’t help but step into something like this, playing a part like this without feeling a sense of responsibility, a fear of letting someone down. But when the creator gives you the thumbs up, it’s a blessing.”

Mumford and Sons postpone four UK shows due to ‘technical challenges’

OHMYGOSSIP — Mumford & Sons have been forced to postpone four UK shows due to “unforeseen logistical and technical challenges”.
Marcus Mumford and co are having to move their ‘Delta Tour’ shows in Liverpool, Cardiff, Sheffield and Manchester in November and December, back to next year, as they require more time to deliver the “ambitious” production they have in store for fans.
The ‘I Will Wait’ hitmakers admitted it was not a decision they have made lightly, but they simply had “no other choice” but to push back the dates.
In a statement to their fans posted on their social media profiles, they explained: “It is with a really heavy heart that we have been forced to postpone four shows on this UK tour due to unforeseen technical and logistical challenges. As you may know, the Delta Tour is by far the most ambitious show we’ve put together and we have had to free up some space in the schedule to be able to execute it, given some obstacles that have come up in production.
“As we also hope you know by now, we never postpone shows lightly, in fact it’s something we try to avoid at all costs – so this decision has been incredibly difficult to make but in this case we have no other choice. The truth is that it is simply not humanly possible to play these particular shows at this time and we are sorry the reality of that only truly landed after we completed Belfast yesterday.
“We are therefore rescheduling our Liverpool, Cardiff, Sheffield and Manchester shows to 2019 & will share information on the new dates very soon.”
Any fans who bought tickets but are unable to attend the new dates, will be able to receive a full refund from their point of purchase.
They continued: “Original tickets will be valid for the rescheduled dates and for those who may be unable to make the new dates, you will be offered a full refund from the point of purchase. Please head to our website for more info.
We are so sorry to need to do this, but we will see you soon. (sic)”
The 63-date world tour is in support of their latest LP ‘Delta’.
