OHMYGOSSIP — Issa Rae wants people to like her for her “mind”.
The ‘Insecure’ star – who recently sparked rumours she is engaged to boyfriend Louis Diame – has always focused on “being smart, being accomplished and being respected” as she figured out at school that she isn’t the “type” that the guys she was attracted to wanted to date.
She said: “As corny as it sounds, I want you to just like my mind.
“I think a part of it just came from figuring out that the guys I like, I’m not their type. Learning that early on made me realise there’s no point in valuing the physical, because it wasn’t going to get me anywhere. So what can I control, and what can I bring to the table? How can I be valued in this way?”
The 34-year-old actress is glad things never “worked out” with the “cool guys” she was attracted to when she was younger.
She told Essence magazine: “I’m glad a lot of it didn’t work out. I was really into cool guys. I was into very high school muscular, college muscular dudes. I was just like, If I’m attracted to you, then what’s the problem?”
Though Issa initially felt rejected, she quickly “stopped caring” and insisted relationships have never been a major focus for her.
She said: “I guess, after a certain point. After I learned they weren’t checking for me like that, I just kind of stopped caring in that way. That’s not my primary focus. I’ve always been kind of flippant about relationships and men in general.”
The actress’ family travelled a lot when she was younger and while her parents tried to instill a sense of confidence in her, she eventually fumed that her mom ad “lied” to her when she was mocked by classmates.
She said: “My parents helped me and they hurt me. My mom was extremely pro-Black, and I believed her. My dad is Senegalese, and I grew up around my dark-skinned cousins and just thought that they were the most beautiful women in the world. I was surrounded by beautiful dark people.
“And then middle school hit, and I was like, Oh, they think I’m ugly. They think I’m big. They think I’m unattractive. I went back to my mom like, ‘What the f**k?! Y’all lied to me my whole life. What is this?!’
“I started realising, Mom, you’re light-skinned. So I don’t know what you were talking about. It’s not like you can relate to being dark. And your hair is not the same texture as mine. So what do you know about telling me I’m beautiful? Why would you lie to me? That definitely had an impact on how I saw myself.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sarah Silverman has criticised Hulu for sending her a $1,500 bill to cover her hair and make-up at the Emmy Awards.
The 48-year-old comic received Emmy nominations for both seasons of ‘America, I Love You’ and was unimpressed that the network refused to pick up her basic expenses for attending the glamorous event, especially because they had so few shows shortlisted for honours.
Debating whether or not to tell the story on podcast ‘The Last Laugh’, she told host Matt Wilstein: “I probably shouldn’t… Eh, f**k it. Guess I’ll just burn this one down. I think it’s a funny story, or maybe it sounds obnoxious and it’s too showbiz-y. I’m really debating right now.
“You know, it’s one of their only shows nominated for Emmys besides ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’..
“Even Comedy Central, like 15 years ago, paid for that s**t when I was nominated. I was just flummoxed. Wouldn’t it be worth them paying $1,500 to not have me on Matt Wilstein’s podcast saying Hulu wouldn’t pay $1,500 for an Emmy for their network?”
Sarah admitted she was upset when the streaming service cancelled ‘America, I Love You’, especially because she knew the network “loved” the show but felt it was ultimately too expensive for them.
She said: “I know that they did love the show, but I think what it cost compared to its popularity or the eyes that they had on it didn’t — you know, the people that make the decisions there don’t have any connection to the show. So it’s easier for them. It’s probably smart. They make very hard decisions.”
When Sarah received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in November, rival service Netflix – which hosted her stand-up special – sent her flowers and made a charity donation in her name, but she didn’t even receive an email from Hulu.
She said: “It’s just such a bad look for you guys. I don’t want to say ‘appalling’. Separating children at the border is appalling. I keep my overhead very low, but Hulu doesn’t. So they should probably pay for s**t.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sophie Turner thinks therapy changed her life.
The ‘Game of Thrones’ actress has suffered from depression and anxiety and while she is still taking medication to combat her problems, seeking counselling has been the most beneficial way of getting them under control.
She said: “I’m just a nervous wreck at the moment…
“Depression for sure, anxiety, all of those things. I still experience it, but I had therapy, I’m on medication, and I feel so much better. The fact that I spoke to someone changed my life.”
The 23-year-old star – who is engaged to Joe Jonas – wasn’t impressed by reports suggesting celebrities being open about such struggles was just them following a trend.
She added to Rolling Stone magazine: “It’s definitely a generational thing. My mom still asks me, ‘Why do you need a therapist?’ ”
Sophie is a “very emotional person” and admitted she used to lie in bed at night and “cry for my character” because of the hardships her alter ego, Sansa Stark, had been through.
She said: “The things that girl has gone through are just unbelievable and awful.”
The HBO fantasy drama series was criticised after Sansa was raped by her brutal husband Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon) but Sophie thinks the scene was necessary.
She said: “I think the backlash was wrong because those things did happen. We can’t dismiss that and not put it in a TV show where it’s all about power — and that is a very impactful way to show that you have power over somebody.”
And the British star felt “emotional”when her “empowered” alter ego orchestrated for Ramsay to be eaten alive by his own dogs.
She said: “It made it a really great storyline. Killing him with the dogs, that was the most satisfying scene. It made me so emotional because I’ve been waiting so long for her to stand up to the people who have done her wrong.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ray Meagher has assured ‘Home and Away’ fans he “isn’t going anywhere” – despite planning to cut down his workload by five weeks a year.
The 74-year-old actor has played Alf Stewart on the Australian soap ever since the pilot episode in January 1988, but he is to take “a tiny bit more time out” from the programme after signing a new deal.
Speaking on ‘This Morning’, he said: “Over the last 10, 15, maybe 20 years, each Christmas I go over to your country to do a pantomime.
“And more recently I went over twice to do ‘Priscilla, Queen of the Desert’ in the West End – once was a six-month stint, and another a run of four months in that same show.
“So if you average my time over the last 10 or 15 years, I probably work 40 weeks a year.
“From now on, on a new contract, I’ll probably work 35, 36 weeks of the year.
“It’s just taking a tiny bit more time out – but I ain’t going nowhere.”
Ray recently revealed he has put pen to paper on another three-year ‘Home and Away’ deal, and insists he isn’t considering retirement.
He said: “I don’t really think much about retirement. I guess the time will come and I will, but I just signed another contract for three years … but sometimes contracts are made to be broken.
“We work for 46 weeks of the year, but I have clauses where I can give producers a reasonable amount of notice for them to write me out to go to the UK and do pantomimes or to go to London and do ‘Priscilla’ in the West End.
“In this latest contract I said I wanted to work less weeks, so we’ve worked that out, but I’ll still be there more often than not.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Billie Faiers’ father nearly missed her wedding after he took a “sleeping tablet” and “had a few drinks”.
The 30-year-old reality star tied the knot with her fiance Greg Shepherd at a luxury resort on Kuramathi in the Maldives earlier this month, but the star’s big day was nearly put in jeopardy when she and her sister Sam Faiers received a call from Gatwick airport saying that the bride-to-be’s father “couldn’t travel”.
Speaking on Heart Breakfast with Jamie Theakston and Lucy Horobin, Sam said: “My dad got marched off the flight. He took a sleeping tablet. He didn’t even make the flight. He hates flying.
“He had a sleeping tablet and a few drinks. And he didn’t even make the flight. They were like, he can’t travel and it couldn’t have got any worse.”
Billie added: “When we got that phone call we thought it was a wind up. We thought surely not, the father of the bride.”
Sam replied: “And It’s not like you can jump one a quick flight to Spain. It’s a scheduled flight. We were worried he was gonna miss it.”
Following Billie’s wedding, Sam, 28, says when she and her partner Paul Knightley eventually tie the knot she wants to have an “epic” hen do with all her bridesmaids, but wants her wedding day to be a very “small” affair.
Sam added: “Well – total opposite [to Billie’s]. Put it this way, I won’t be having a 100 people and going all the way to the Maldives, but it was amazing.
“Billie and Greg are entertainers, they are always doing something so we always knew their wedding would be humungous and epic.
“I think I do want to get married abroad but I think I will do a really epic hen, like Vegas, but then I want my wedding to be quite small.
“I like Italy. When Paul and I met, every year, we’ve always gone to Italy. So I feel like I would probably so it there and maybe half the size.”
Tune in to ‘Heart Breakfast with Jamie and Lucy’, weekdays from 6am-9am.

OHMYGOSSIP — Rebekah Vardy thinks there should be more “before care, during care and aftercare” given to reality television stars.
The former ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ contestant claims reality shows are “damaging”, and insists it should be acknowledged that more needs to be done to look after contestants after they get thrust into the spotlight, following the death of ‘Love Island’ star Mike Thalassitis, who took his own life earlier this month.
Speaking on ‘The Jeremy Vine Show’ she said: “I think that I love reality TV there’s definitely still a place for it. I mean ‘Love Island’ ratings are amazing, you know the jungle’s ratings are still great.
“But I think there needs to be more before care, during care and after care I think that with mike and from ‘Love Island’ it’s a tragedy it’s horrendous – and if there’s one good thing to come out if it it’s that we now know that those shows are damaging.”
Rebekah – who is married to footballer Jamie Vardy – isn’t the first person to urge producers to take better care of contestants.
‘Made in Chelsea’ star Francis Boulle recently spoke out, insisting reality TV companies should no longer primarily concentrate on making “great TV” and thinks mental health should no longer be “secondary priority”.
He previously said: “I think often the focus on the production companies is to make great TV.
“Sometimes people’s mental health is a secondary priority – and that means mental health, and vulnerable people, can be subordinate to the aims of production.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Chris Evans’ favourite superhero as a child was Batman.
Even though the 37-year-old actor has starred as Captain America in 10 Marvel Cinematic Universe films, growing up he was a big fan of Michael Keaton’s portrayal of The Caped Crusader in two Tim Burton films and added that he’ll probably “get in trouble” for admitting his affinity for the DC Comics hero.
When asked by a fan in a Q&A with The Hollywood Reporter who is favourite superhero was as a child, he said: “I wasn’t that cool – I was more into cartoons like Bugs Bunny and Looney Tunes, things like that, I’ll say Batman. I probably shouldn’t say that – it’s DC, I’m gonna get in trouble! But those Michael Keaton movies, those were pretty big, so yeah I’ll say, Batman.”
The ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ star also revealed that his favourite scene from the MCU film series is a fight scene from ‘Captain America: The Winter Solider’ and explained that the sequence was his first time working with Anthony Russo and Joseph Russo – who have directed several films in the MCU – and he felt as though his character was “on his own” for the first time.
He said: “I’m partial to that fight scene in the elevator. That was the first scene we shot in the second Captain America movie. It was my first time working with the Russos. It was the first time where it felt like Cap was kind of on his own. The first Cap movie, it felt like everyone was really holding my hand. And the first Avengers movie, I just did my best to not get in the way.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Maisie Williams has no idea when ‘The New Mutants’ will come out.
The ‘X-Men’ spin-off film directed by Josh Boone was originally set to be released last year then was slated for release in February 2019, however, it has since been pushed back until August 2, 2019 but Maisie isn’t sure if that date is set in stone.
In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, she said: “Who knows when the f**k that’s gonna come out?”
The ‘Game of Thrones’ star went on to explain that she is set to do some re-shoots to “make it scarier”, however, she confessed to the publication that they haven’t happened yet.
The ‘Game of Thrones’ actress went on to explain that she previously asked co-star Charlie Heaton, who plays Cannonball is he had any idea “what the f**k is going on with this movie” but he didn’t know either.
Ana-Taylor Joy, who plays mutant Illya Rasputin aka Magik in the movie, revealed last year that she understands why ‘The New Mutants’ – which has been made by 20th Century Fox which is now owned by Disney – was postponed and hopes they will deliver a “really great movie”.
She said: “Josh and I are really close, and he’s a really wonderful collaborator, because he really keeps us involved in everything with the movie. He doesn’t treat us like, ‘You guys act and I make the vision’. He keeps us very involved in it, and incredibly invested.
“I think we have such a responsibility to the fans that we are going to make this movie right, and if that takes a bit more time, even though it’s disappointing for people that we’re not coming out at our April 13 slot, I think if we deliver a really great movie overall people will be happier. So we’re striving for that! We’re trying to make the best movie that we possibly can for the people who care about these characters.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jordan Peele can’t see himself “casting a white dude” as a lead in one of his movies.
The 40-year-old African-American director’s latest psychological horror ‘Us’ follows a black middle-class couple (Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke) and their children as they battle evil doppelgangers, whilst his critically acclaimed 2017 thriller ‘Get Out’ follows Daniel Kaluuya’s African-American alter ego Chris and his white American girlfriend (Allison Williams).
The comedian-turned-filmmaker has admitted he isn’t interested in casting a Caucasian man as a lead character because he’s “seen that movie” and insisted that he feels “fortunate” to be in a position where he can cast minority actors in leading roles.
Speaking at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in East Hollywood, he said: “I don’t see myself casting a white dude as the lead in my movie. Not that I don’t like white dudes but I’ve seen that movie.
“It really is one of the best greatest pieces of this story, feeling like we are in this time [where] a renaissance has happened and proven the myths about representation in the industry are false. The way I look at it. I get to cast black people in my movies, I feel fortunate to be in this position where I can say to Universal, ‘I want to make a $20 million horror movie with a black family.’ And they say yes.”
‘Us’ broke horror movie records as it topped the weekend American box office – it banked the huge sum of $70.3 million and now holds the title for the biggest opening weekend for an original horror movie.
The movie is now the third best horror opening of all time after 2018’s ‘Halloween’ sequel and 2017’s reboot of Stephen King’s ‘It’.

OHMYGOSSIP — Natalia Dyer likes to play different “characters” with her wardrobe choices.
The 22-year-old actress is known for her seemingly effortless and laid back style, and the star has insisted that she loves to “play around” with fashion because it gives her the “opportunity” to change her “confidence” and “mood”.
She said: “Fashion is another opportunity for me to play a character. Clothes can really change how you see yourself: your mood, your confidence. I like to play around a lot.”
Natalia plays Nancy Wheeler in the science-fiction horror Netflix series Stranger Things, which follows a group of teenagers in the fictional town of Hawkins during the 1980’s, and Nancy explained that her life completely “changed overnight” when the series premiered.
Speaking to InStyle, she said: “When ‘Stranger Things’ premiered, given the nature of how Netflix operates, things started to change literally overnight. It’s still an adjustment. I’m an introverted person naturally. I like to keep to myself.”
The brunette beauty – who is dating her ‘Stranger Things’ co-star Charlie Heaton – also said that she likes to keep her private life out of the spotlight and off social media because she likes to give “100 per cent” to her relationships.
She said: “It’s [social media] a great platform, but it scares me. I’m fearful of general accessibility. I got rid of my Facebook; I don’t do Twitter. I prefer to keep my personal life separate. My Instagram is a lot more work-based than life-based.
“It’s important to have a life outside of work. You want to give it 100 percent when you’re there, but it’s easy to get wrapped up in things. Relationships require time and work too.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Rochelle Humes uses “physio tape” to prevent any accidental nipple slips on the red carpet.
The 30-year-old singer-and-presenter has praised her stylist, Angie Smith, for introducing her to the sticky product, which was created to aid sports injuries, because it has helped her to keep her dresses in place and prevent any embarrassing flashes.
She said: “I’d call my style girlie, but with an edge. If I’m wearing a dress, I’ll pair it with biker boots or a leather biker jacket to toughen it up and balance it out.
“My stylist, Angie Smith, taught me to use physio tape to keep everything in place. You can get it in chemists as it’s normally used to provide support for sports injuries! It comes in black and nude, and doesn’t even come off – you just lift and tape. It feels way more supportive than any bra I’ve ever had!”
Rochelle also explained that when she was in The Saturdays – who have been on hiatus since 2014 – alongside her bandmates Frankie Bridge, Una Healy, Mollie King and Vanessa White she didn’t get to experiment with her own style because they all had to be dressed the same.
She told Closer magazine: “The Saturdays, we were all dressed pretty much the same and we didn’t really have individual styles, so it’s nice to have some freedom with fashion. If I’m ever not sure what to wear, I always go for a jumpsuit – I find them so easy to wear.”
Rochelle – who has daughters Alaia-Mai, five, and 23-month-old Valentina, with her husband Marvin Humes – also insisted that her “body has changed” since having children and so she makes sure to dress for her “shape”.
She explained: “Obviously I wouldn’t rock a crop-top these days, but I didn’t really wear them beforehand anyway! My body has changed, but I think women bog themselves down way too much with what size they are and trying to squeeze into a pair of too-tight jeans. It’s all about dressing for your shape, not your size.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Hailey Bieber is sick of critics who want to see her “fail”.
The 22-year-old model – who was previously known as Hailey Baldwin – faces constant hate comments on social media from people who want to see her marriage to Justin Bieber collapse, and she has now said she doesn’t understand why anyone would wish for failure of another couple’s romance.
She said: “They just really want to see you fail, for whatever reason. I don’t know if it’s because they want to be able to say, ‘I told you so’ or because they want to be right, I don’t really know what the idea is behind trying to tear somebody’s relationship down, or person down, whatever it may be.”
And although she tries to remain optimistic, the blonde beauty can’t help but blame the “evil world” around her.
She added: “I guess it’s just kind of an evil world, at the core of it, and humanity is just struggling.”
Hailey even struggles with nasty comments from fans of her husband Justin, 25, who have become “possessive” over the ‘Sorry’ hitmaker.
She said: “The problem too is kids become possessive over people and feel like if they think they’re hurt, they feel hurt for them and they’re hurt too, or whatever it is. They just think they know these people who are famous because their life is so exposed.
“What’s really weird to me is they create scenarios in their head of what they think is happening or what they think should happen, and I’m just like, ‘This is just so dumb. It’s so dumb.'”
The beauty now ignores social media comments as much as she can, but says she “still cares to a certain extent”.
Speaking to Cosmopolitan magazine, she said: “I’ve found that I got to a place where I don’t read the comments. People can just be mean, and I feel like if you don’t want it to get to you, then don’t read it and allow it to affect your soul.
“You still care to a certain extent. You really have to train your brain to be like, ‘Okay, why do I even care? I don’t know these people, they don’t know me, they’re not a part of my life or my relationship.'”

OHMYGOSSIP — Wes Nelson has been secretly dating a fashion influencer for “a few weeks”.
The former ‘Love Island’ hunk is said to have moved on from his ex Megan Barton Hanson with 24-year-old Instagram model Lissy Roddy – whose real name is Alicia Roddy – after they met at a Nasty Gal fashion party in Dublin.
An insider said: “Everyone thought Wes was secretly with his skating partner Vanessa Bauer, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
“He’s been seeing Lissy for a few weeks now. Although it’s early days – they’ve been inseparable and they’re having a great time together.”
The 21-year-old star is said to be “one happy man” after hooking up with Lissy, who boasts more than 631,000 Instagram followers and also has more than 78,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel, on which she posts vlogs about make-up and hairstyles.
The source added to The Sun Online: “Wes is having a really good time getting to know Lissy, they’ve been on some nice dates and they’ve been hanging out, going on shopping trips together and chilling at home.
“She is absolutely stunning and he’s one very happy man.”
Earlier this month, Wes admitted he found his split from Megan – who he found love with in the ‘Love Island’ villa last summer only to go their separate ways in February – “really, really difficult” to deal with at the time.
He said: “I’ve experienced love but I’d love to love like my parents do.
“Me and Megs we had a really, really good bond and it makes me upset now to talk about it but it isn’t great, and it was really, really difficult at the time.”
The pair’s break up came while Wes was competing on ice skating reality TV show ‘Dancing on Ice’, on which he performed alongside pro skater Vanessa Bauer, who he has also been linked to.

OHMYGOSSIP — Cher is “heartbroken” to have lost her favourite t-shirt after almost 40 years.
The ‘Believe’ hitmaker took to social media last week to ask her fans for help as she described the skull and crossbones top and she admitted she was praying to St. Anthony – the Catholic saint often called upon to find lost items – in a bid to locate the missing object.
In a series of tweets, Cher – who has been seen wearing the t-shirt a lot over the years – wrote alongside crying and broken heart emojis: “My T-Shirt is Gone. Black studded Rhinestone Shirt with white pirate.
“Worn it for 30-40 yrs. My favorite piece of clothing… I’m Asking St. Anthony To Get Involved, He Finds Everything.
“We ask him to help us all the time. I’m sure he’s like, WHATS THE MATTER WITH THOSE WOMEN. (sic)”
One follower urged Cher’s fans to check online to see if a potential thief was trying to sell the item on eBay, but the star admitted she would pay a lot more than other people to be reunited with the t-shirt.
She responded: “That would be stupid because I’d give a Gazillion Times more than anyone else. (sic)”
It isn’t the first time Cher has spoken out about her favourite swashbuckling item of clothing, having also opened up in the past about her “raggedy” style and revealed how fans have been “chronicling the shirt” over the years.
She previously said: “My favorite shirt is 30 years old. As a matter of fact, people have pictures chronicling the shirt, you know, for a million years and I don’t care. And I don’t care how many times I wear it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Aubrey Plaza says Chris Pratt couldn’t stop farting on the set of ‘Parks and Recreation’.
The 34-year-old actress reunited with her former cast mates for the 10th anniversary of the beloved comedy’s launch, and admitted she didn’t appreciate Chris and their gassy fellow actor Nick Offerman for their antics.
Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight’, Aubrey was asked a question from Nick himself – “Which cast member made your favorite noises with his or her body?” – and responded: “That is so annoying because Nick and Pratt use to fart all the time.
“And it would make Amy and I really angry! So I don’t appreciate that question, and I’m going to say, ‘Pass Nick.’ ”
Last summer, Aubrey teased her friend after she and his ‘Jurassic World’ co-star Bryde Dallas Howard presented him with the MTV Generation Award at the MTV Movie & TV Awards in June, and the pair couldn’t resist the change to poke fun at his “incredible range”.
Aubrey – who starred with him in ‘Parks and Rec’ for six years – said: “Chris has incredible range. In ‘Parks and Rec’, he played Andy Dwyer, a dim-witted but lovable shoe shiner with good intentions, but not always the best ideas.”
Bryce continued: “And then, in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’, he completely transformed into Peter Quill.”
Chris took the comments in good spirits, and he could be seen laughing in the audience as Aubrey added: “The dim-witted but lovable ship captain with good intentions, but not always the best ideas.”
Bryce – who also appeared with Chris in sequel ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ – said: “And then he showed us an entirely different side of himself in Jurassic World as Owen Grady.”
Aubrey quipped: “A dim-witted but lovable dinosaur guy with good intentions, but not always the best ideas.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Gemma Collins is to release a song with Naughty Boy.
The 38-year-old reality TV star has written a heartbreak tune, ‘Come Home’, inspired by her on/off relationship with James ‘Arg’ Argent, and the 34-year-old music producer – who has worked with Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson, and Cheryl – has tipped the former ‘The Only Way is Essex’ star to make it big in the music industry.
He said: “She was born to sing, it’s just that she’s actually taken a different route with it.
“But I think Gemma is going to have one of the biggest songs of the year, I can say that with my hand on my heart.
“It’s definitely a romantic song and Gemma’s got such a big heart, it makes a lot of sense of her whole life right now.”
Naughty Boy had “instant synergy” with Gemma when he was introduced to her at the BRIT Awards earlier this year, and he has believed she is going to be a “superstar” ever since she sang him a version of Beyonce’s ‘Running’.
He added to The Sun newspaper: “She sung me a part of ‘Running’, the Beyonce song, and when she sung me that, I was thinking, ‘This girl can actually sing, she’s got a personality and she’s got a following. This is the new age superstar.
“When people hear the music and hear her voice, I think it’s going to take her up a notch.
“I don’t consider Gemma a reality TV person, I consider her a superstar.”
This latest attempt to release a song isn’t Gemma’s first time in a studio.
Last year, she stepped into the recording booth to perform a cover of ‘Everybody’s Free to Feel Good’ by Rozalla to promote MTV’s new reality show ‘ReFreshers Week’, and admitted she would love to release an album one day.
She said: “I’ve come out of my mother’s you-know-what singing … I would like to do an album, I would like a Christmas number one, I’m not gonna lie.”
