Macklemore house has become a ‘ballet studio’

OHMYGOSSIP — Macklemore’s house “feels like a ballet studio”.
The 35-year-old musician has two daughters, three-year-old Sloane Ava Simone and 11-month-old Colette Koala, and has said the tots have begun to take over his home with their growing passion for dancing.
He said: “My house sometimes feels like a ballet studio or like a repeat of the movie ‘Frozen’ in my living room. Sloane puts on the song and dances around and takes all the pillows off of the couch and starts jumping and doing leaps and somersaults.”
Colette is set to celebrate her first birthday this weekend, and the ‘Marmalade’ hitmaker – who has both his daughters with his wife Tricia Davis – says she’s already showing dancing prowess.
He added: “[Colette is] walking, she’s got some teeth … and she can do the robot.”
Whilst Sloane is determined to “do it all” when it comes to talents, as she’s developed a love for dancing, painting, and has even started to rhyme words with the promise of a music career when she’s older.
Macklemore said: “She’s painting all the time, she’s doing ballet, she’s singing, she’s dancing. She’s starting to rhyme words a little bit, so who knows where that’s going to go? No pressure. It’s so fun to be able to watch your kid express themselves and find out the joys of creating and expressing yourself. Vicariously, it has been a very rewarding and fulfilling experience to watch that process.”
And the ‘Good Old Days’ rapper says Sloane has her sights set on stardom, no matter what talent she decides to pursue.
Speaking to People magazine, he said: “Sloane watched ‘American Idol’ and was asking me to get her tickets to ‘American Idol’ in Hollywood. She was saying, ‘Daddy, will you get me tickets to Hollywood?’ It was pretty sweet.”

Iggy Azalea was sent semen in the mail

OHMYGOSSIP — Iggy Azalea was sent semen in the mail.
The 28-year-old rapper took to Twitter on Thursday (14.03.19) to share her disgust after one of her assistants opened her mail for her and was stunned to find a vial of somebody’s semen inside a package that had been delivered to her home.
She wrote in one tweet: “Someone sent a vile of semen in the mail and the office assistant had to unknowingly open the package.
“I –
“Who –
“[Sick emoji]
“FBI!!! (sic)”
The ‘Fancy’ hitmaker intends on going to the police to report the incident, especially as the bodily fluid will contain the owner’s DNA.
In another tweet, Iggy added: “We have your DNA!
“Idiot.
“Hope you like the sex offenders registry (sic)”
And in a third tweet, Iggy pleaded with her fans to change the subject of conversation.
She added: “Anyway *dry hurling* subject change? PLEASE (sic)”
The ‘Kream’ rapper’s bizarre package comes after she recently moved house, and said the move coupled with the stress of putting the finishing touches on her new album was giving her “anxiety”.
She wrote on social media in January: “Moving into a new house and finishing my album all in the same month is giving me anxiety.
But; the good kind? Sorta. (sic)”
And although the experience might make her want to move again, she won’t be relocating back to her native Australia any time soon, as she’s said she can’t see herself ever living there again.
She said: “I do like Australia, a lot of people think I hate it. [But] I don’t really like to go back, it’s just not for me full time!
“I would just never be able to live there, because it’s just too slow paced for me and it’s not ridiculous enough!
“I would love to take a vacation there and I would recommend anyone go visit. It’s really nice, the food’s really fresh, the weather’s beautiful in summer, it’s pretty clean, I like a lot of the beaches, my family live there.”

Cardi B has a voice in her head

OHMYGOSSIP — Cardi B has a “voice” in her head.
The 26-year-old rapper has revealed she often has a conversation with herself inside her head which causes her to zone out of real life interactions, and has asked her followers on social media for help after the problem resulted in several fans claiming she was rude after meeting her.
During an Instagram Live, Cardi said: “Hey ya’ll, so I’m having a problem right, like a lot of people be saying ‘Oh I met Cardi B and I don’t know if she like me or not because she was looking at me like if I’m crazy …’ but that’s not the problem.
“The problem is that I have a voice in my head that when I’m talking to people, it just start having a conversation with me and I be replying back.”
Cardi then went on to describe an example of a conversation she has had with herself, which included the voice in her head asking mundane questions.
She added: “Like, you could be talking to me and the voice in my head … will start asking me questions like, ‘Hey what happened to that green Balenciaga shirt that you wore the other day?’ And then I’ll reply back in my head like, ‘I don’t know b***h. I think I left it at my grandma’s house.'”
The ‘I Like It’ hitmaker doesn’t know why she’s experiencing the issue, but insisted she doesn’t mean to come across as rude to her fans.
She continued: “I’m really not paying attention because the voice in my head is f***ing talking to me. I don’t know if that s**t happen to people, that s**t be happening to me, so I just be looking at you [with a look] ’cause … I’m having a whole conversation in my f***ing thoughts. That’s why.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Chance the Rapper is set to become a father for the second time.
The 25-year-old rapper tied the knot with his long-term partner Kristen Corley – with whom he already has three-year-old daughter Kensli – less than a week ago, and it’s now been revealed they’re set to expand their brood by one more as Kristen is pregnant with their second child.
Kristen revealed the news with a snap of her baby bump on the Instagram Story of her private account, but fans were quick to screenshot the image and upload it to public social media channels.
And Chance himself followed the news up with a confirmation posted to his own Instagram account, where he revealed he’s set to become a father to another baby girl and said Kristen’s due date is in September.
In a note uploaded as a picture, he wrote: “We pregnant again
“Its a girl
“JESUS CHRIST
“WE LOVE YOU GOD (sic)”
The caption of the image read: “New baby droppin September (sic)”
Chance and Kristen married on Saturday (09.03.19) in front of 150 guests including the likes of Kanye West and his wife Kim Kardashian West and comedian Dave Chappelle at the Pelican Hill resort in Newport Beach, California.
A source said of their nuptials: “The decor was all white, with big arrangements of white roses lining the aisle and scattered white petals where the bride walked down to meet her groom.
“The bride, Kirsten, wore a strapless white dress and Chance wore a white tux with a black bow tie. It was a romantic ceremony and a string quartet played as they entered.
“In the middle of the ceremony, their little daughter Kensli ran up and Chance picked her up and held her. It was very sweet and loving to watch.”

Rosario Dawson dating Cory Booker

OHMYGOSSIP — Rosario Dawson is dating US politician Cory Booker.
The 39-year-old actress has confirmed she’s in a relationship with the junior United States Senator from New Jersey, and has gushed over her new beau, saying she feels “grateful” to be romancing someone she “respects.
Speaking to TMZ, she said: “I am just grateful to be with someone that I respect and love and admire so much.”
The ‘Daredevil’ star’s new romance confirmation comes after Cory appeared on ‘The Breakfast Club’ last month and announced he was dating a mystery woman when he said: “I got a boo.”
And Rosario’s new found happiness follows comments she made earlier this year when she insisted she’d wasted years of her life being unnecessarily negative.
The actress – who has an adopted teenage daughter called Lola – said: “We have so much negativity and ugliness out there and we get so critical and so angry, depressed, and when you’re in that space, you build from that space.
“I just want to build from the love that I have. I’m in an amazing place with my daughter, and with my friends and my family. It’s rough out there. I just want to enjoy myself as much as I can along the way.”
Rosario said that as she approaches her landmark 40th birthday, she’s been reflecting on some of her past mistakes.
And in retrospect, the ‘Luke Cage’ star wishes she’d previously been more positive and forgiving of herself and other people in her life.
She added: “I definitely spent a lot of the time over the years being way too critical or harsh. I’m going to be 40 this year.
“When you look back, you’re like, ‘Wow, that was a long time [of me being hard on myself].’ Maybe it wasn’t all in one long run, but when you add it all together that’s crazy. That’s a significant chunk of my life. Ultimately things could be better, but they could definitely be worse.”

Louis Tomlinson’s sister dies aged 18

OHMYGOSSIP — Louis Tomlinson’s sister Félicité has died aged 18.
The teenage sister of the One Direction star has tragically been found dead at her home after suffering a suspected heart attack, according to The Sun newspaper.
Félicité – who was an Instagram star and last year revealed plans to launch her own clothing line under her nickname “Fizzy” – collapsed at her fourth-floor studio apartment in Earls Court, West London, on Wednesday (13.03.19) lunchtime.
A person who was with the aspiring fashion designer called the emergency services, but despite extensive efforts to resuscitate Félicité, she was pronounced dead at the scene.
A spokesperson for the Met Police said: “Police were called by the London Ambulance Service at 12.52pm to a residential address in SW5.”
Whilst the London Ambulance Service added: “We were called at 12.51pm.
“We sent two ambulance crews, a single responder in a car and an advanced paramedic to the scene. Sadly, despite efforts of our medics, a person died.”
As of the time of writing, Félicité’s death is being treated as “unexplained”, and a full post-mortem examination and toxicology tests are underway to determine the teenager’s cause of death.
For 27-year-old Louis, the tragic news comes after he previously lost his mother Johannah Deakin in 2016, when she passed away aged 43 after losing her battle with leukaemia.
And Louis recently released a heartbreaking new single entitled ‘Two of Us’, in which he painfully sings about wishing he was the one who died.
On the track, he sings: “You’ll never know how much I miss you, the day that they took you, I wish it was me instead.”
And during the chorus, he adds: “I will be the best of me, always keep you next to me, I’ll be living one life for the two of us.”

The insider added: “Louis is obviously distraught at the loss of his sister.

Macklemore wants kids to ‘focus on creativity’

OHMYGOSSIP — Macklemore made sure he put his daughter into a school where she can “focus on her creativity”.
The 35-year-old rapper has two daughters, three-year-old Sloane and 11-month-old Colette, with his wife Tricia Davis, and has said it was important for him to find a school for his eldest tot that prioritises creative learning, because he thinks art is an important part of the school system.
He said: “I’m already watching it with Sloane. She’s almost four now and we picked the school that she can really focus in on her creativity and has a social justice mission. And then also, of course, putting her into classes wherever she is passionate. That’s one of the things that I have resources for is to be able to pay for private arts education outside of schools, but a lot of people don’t have that.”
The ‘Marmalade’ hitmaker is so passionate about the importance of art that he recently teamed up with LIFEWTR to work to beautify high schools that are facing cuts to their arts programming in Miami, Boston, Chicago and elsewhere with murals by local artists.
The program will also include teacher grants and classroom kits, and is set to benefit more than 10 million kids.
Speaking about the program, Macklemore told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “I got behind the campaign because it deals directly with youth and creativity … The arts, creativity, really begin with schools. It is extremely important right now with all of the budget cuts and with priorities shifting in schools to really make sure that kids are getting an opportunity to express themselves in a creative way.
“I think that the mural part of it is really cool. I can still think of numerous murals that are up right now in Seattle that have been there a long time. They become a part of the city. They become a part of the school. They tell a story. I think if we had a project like that when I was growing up, the mural portion of it, it would be really cool. It’s a piece of history. It’s a piece of art that will last for generations.”

Kate Beckinsale was a ‘monster’ in hospital

OHMYGOSSIP — Kate Beckinsale was a “monster” whilst she was in hospital for a ruptured ovarian cyst earlier this year.
The 45-year-old actress landed herself in hospital in January from the injury – in which a cyst inside the ovaries becomes so large it presses against nerves and eventually ruptures – and has now said the drugs she was put on to ease her pain made her act like a “monster”.
She said: “I don’t drink coffee or alcohol or anything, so the minute I’m given an IV drug, I become a monster.”
And the ‘Underworld’ star says some of her drug-induced antics included telling lies to her friends, dancing, and trying to “touch people’s bottoms”.
Speaking during an appearance on ‘Live with Kelly and Ryan’, Kate added: “I had friends of mine come visit me in the hospital and I’d be like ‘Oh you look so good, you were looking tubby a few weeks ago.’ Terrible things that weren’t true! They were just me saying nasty things.
“Then there was a lot of dancing, trying to touch people’s bottoms, it was a lot. I kept finding out what I’d done weeks later and having to then apologise.”
The brunette beauty – who is in a relationship with Ariana Grande’s former fiancé Pete Davidson – was hospitalised toward the end of January, and posted a picture on social media to explain her situation, where she revealed the morphine she was on had caused her to start crying.
Alongside a picture of herself with tear-stained cheeks, Kate wrote: “Turns out a ruptured ovarian cyst really hurts and morphine makes me cry. So thankful to everyone who looked after me #wobbly (sic)”
At the time of her hospitalisation, Kate didn’t give any further details on her condition, but surgery wasn’t thought to be likely as most cases of ruptured cysts simply call for treatment through pain medication.

Khloe Kardashian ‘disappointed’ in Tristan Thompson

OHMYGOSSIP — Khloe Kardashian is “very disappointed” in Tristan Thompson.
The 34-year-old reality star broke up with the basketball player after he was accused of kissing Jordyn Woods – who is the best friend of Khloe’s half-sister Kylie Jenner – at a party last month, and it was recently claimed Tristan hasn’t been making an effort to spend time with their 11-month-old tot True in the wake of the break-up.
And now, sources say Khloe continues to be “saddened” by Tristan’s actions in regard to their tot, as she’s still “bitter” that he “isn’t trying harder”.
A source told People magazine: “Just in general, he isn’t spending much time with his daughter. It’s very upsetting to Khloé. To her, True is the most important person ever. It’s very difficult for her to understand how Tristan isn’t willing to make more of an effort to spend time with True.
“It saddens her that True doesn’t have a very close relationship with Tristan. Khloé has always done everything she can to encourage Tristan to spend time with his daughter.
“Khloé seems bitter about the fact that he isn’t trying harder. She just doesn’t understand it. It’s very disappointing to her.”
Meanwhile, it was claimed the ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star thinks Tristan, 28, has “moved on”, and no longer cares about their family because he isn’t making enough of an effort to see True.
Another insider said: “Khloé is getting extremely upset with Tristan because he isn’t really making any effort to be involved in their daughter True’s life.
“Khloé understands he is on the road because of basketball and lives in Cleveland, but she just feels that Tristan has moved on. Tristan’s attitude seems to be, ‘I will see True when I see her.'”
Khloe’s concerns come after sources said the former couple were “on the same page” when it comes to custody over their daughter.
An insider shared earlier this month: “Khloe has True for the majority of the time. Khloe’s able to bring True or be with her at work, where Tristan can’t. Also, True spends a lot of time with her big family and all the cousins are in LA so it makes the most sense for her to stay with Khloe. Khloe and Tristan may have their issues but Khloe will never deny Tristan a chance to spend time with his daughter. Things may change in the future, but for now Khloe and Tristan are on the same page with True being with Khloe for most of the time.”

Jada Pinkett Smith’s Red Table Talk renewed

OHMYGOSSIP — Jada Pinkett Smith’s ‘Red Table Talk’ has been renewed for 20 more episodes.
The 47-year-old actress will be able to broadcast at least 20 more episodes of her hugely popular Facebook Watch show, as according to People magazine, Facebook have decided to renew the programme for another season.
‘Red Table Talk’ premiered in early 2018 and has become Facebook Watch’s most popular original series, with a whopping 7.5 million people tuning in within the first 24 hours to watch the episode featuring Jordyn Woods, in which she spoke about the cheating scandal involving her, Khloe Kardashian, and Tristan Thompson.
The show features Jada, her daughter Willow Smith, and her mother Adrienne Banfield-Jones and sees the family discuss topics including race, domestic violence, relationship struggles, and much more with a host of special guests.
And the ‘Girls Trip’ star recently revealed she wants her show to encourage women to talk to each other.
She said: “There were three women that were courageous enough to be super transparent with me. Ruby Dee, Pauletta Washington, and Salma Hayek. Three. They were so transparent with me and gave it to me so real, and so raw that those three conversations literally changed the trajectory of my life. And then I was like, ‘Why don’t we have more conversations like this? Like, if I had had this conversation earlier I would’ve done something different. Like, why aren’t we talking in a way in which sharing and offering ourselves? In the way that we can help each other grow, help each other have the lives that we want?'”
Jada also hopes the show will be useful to her 19-year-old daughter Willow.
She added: “I just think about the fact that several years for now when her grandmother’s not here and I’m not here she’ll have these red table talks to look back on that she can share with her children. It’s just a beautiful legacy to leave for your children. I wish I’d had that with my grandmother.”

Ariana Grande leads iHeartRadio Music Award winners

OHMYGOSSIP — Ariana Grande scooped the prestigious Artist of the Year award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards on Thursday (14.03.19) evening.
The ‘Thank u, next’ singer was “so honoured” to be one of the night’s biggest winners as she also picked up Female Artist of the Year, but she was unable to make the ceremony at Los Angeles’ Microsoft Theater as she was preparing for her upcoming ‘Sweetener’ world tour.
However, she said in a pre-recorded speech for her Artist of the Year award: “I am so honoured. I will sleep with this tonight.”
Fans were also treated to a pre-taped intimate performance of her upcoming single ‘Needy’.
Drake, who is currently on tour, was named Male Artist of the Year, while Best Duo/Group of the Year went to 5 Seconds of Summer.
Alicia Keys urged fans to stay true to themselves in a passionate speech as she picked up the Innovator award.
The ‘Empire State of Mind’ hitmaker – who also performed with her eight-year-old son Eygpt – admitted the accolade meant a lot to her.
She said: “I gotta be honest with you — it means so much to be honoured as an innovator because when I first started out, nobody was like, ‘Look at that tomboy from Hell’s Kitchen who graduated high school at 15, the one with the braids, who seems obsessed with her broken down piano … what a fantastic innovator she is.’ Nobody said that.
“It was like, ‘Who is that? What is she doing? What is she wearing?’ I’m telling you the — even when I first got signed it wasn’t about what new ideas and sounds can Alicia bring? It was more like, ‘How do we make her fit into this mould?’ and I think that’s what a lot of people experience in life.”
The 38-year-old star – who also has four-year-old Genesis with husband Swizz Beatz – urged people not to “change and abuse” themselves in order to fit in.
She said: “We are here do us, you know? It’s crazy … I know how it feels … all we can think about is how to be liked, and how to be accepted and we contort ourselves and change ourselves and starve ourselves and abuse ourselves and hate ourselves and instead, all we gotta do is just love who we are. That’s all we gotta do.
“All we really need to do is appreciate our individuality and embrace what makes us unique because in the end, you’re remembered because you’re different. Because you’re special.
“I’m finally more myself than I’ve ever been and even though it’s a constant process, I encourage you to continue to find the power and the beauty and the unique story in your own journey.”
Taylor Swift won two awards, Best Music Video for ‘Delicate’, and Tour of the Year for her ‘Reputation’ stadium shows and she was delighted to have proven her critics wrong.
Accepting the latter, she said: “One of the most wonderful things about the way that this whole tour turned out is that, for, like, the entire six months leading up to the first show of this tour, every headline that I read was, this is going to be a massive failure.
“And it really did wonders for my self-esteem. It was really great to hear people saying that I was going to be playing to nearly empty stadiums.
“I’ve learned a lot. One of the things I’ve learned is that life is really unpredictable and people can make forecasts and they can make predictions, but those predictions and forecasts may not come true if there is an unforeseeable factor involved, and that unforeseeable factor in this case was my fans.”
Elsewhere at the ceremony – which was hosted by T-Pain – Song of the Year went to ‘The Middle’, by Zedd, Maren Morris, Grey, and it also picked up Dance Song of the Year, but the track didn’t also secure the Best Collaboration prize.
Instead, it was awarded to ‘Finesse’ by Bruno Mars featuring Cardi B, who had two other songs on the shortlist, ‘Girls Like You’ with Maroon 5 and ‘I Like It’ featuring Bad Bunny and J. Balvin.
Tiffany Young beat off a shortlist that featured former Fifth Harmony members Normani Lauren Jauregui, Ally Brooke and Dinah Jane to take the Solo Breakout award.

The Sopranos prequel gets release date

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘The Sopranos’ prequel will be released in September 2020.
New Line have confirmed their long-awaited movie will hit cinemas on September 25 next year and revealed its title has changed from ‘The Many Saints of Newark’ to simply ‘Newark’.
The movie will tell the tale of the origins of anti-hero Tony Soprano, who was played by the late James Gandolfini in the HBO series and will be portrayed by the actor’s son Michael in the film.
The story focuses on Dickie Moltisanti (Alessandro Nivola) as a mentor to young Tony as his own father, Johnny Boy, was grooming his son on a pathway to organised crime prominence.
Michael previously described his casting – which was secured after an extensive audition process – as a “profound honour”.
He said: “It’s a profound honour to continue my dad’s legacy while stepping into the shoes of a young Tony Soprano. I’m thrilled that I’m going to have the opportunity to work with David Chase and the incredible company of talent he has assembled for ‘The Many Saints of Newark’.”
Alessandro Nivola, Vera Farmiga, Jon Bernthal, Billy Magnussen and Corey Stoll all also star in the ensemble drama, which is being written and produced by ‘The Sopranos’ creator David Chase, and directed by Alan Taylor.
It was previously revealed there are expected to be call-backs and shout-outs to numerous other characters from the television series within the movie’s script.
Chase previously admitted he was “against” creating a spin-off for a “long time”, but became interested in the idea when he explored the 1967 Newark riots which occurred when two Newark Police officers arrested and beat African American taxi driver John Smith and decided the real life event would provide the perfect backdrop for the plot and a look at Tony’s formative years.
He previously said: “I was interested in Newark and life in Newark at that time. I used to go to down there every Saturday night for dinner with my grandparents. But the thing that interested me most was Tony’s boyhood. I was interested in exploring that.
“I was against [the movie] for a long time and I’m still very worried about it, but I became interested in Newark, where my parents came from, and where the riots took place. I was living in suburban New Jersey at the time that happened, and my girlfriend was working in downtown Newark. I was just interested in the whole Newark riot thing. I started thinking about those events and organised crime, and I just got interested in mixing those two elements.”

Katy Perry ‘open’ to Taylor Swift collaboration

OHMYGOSSIP — Katy Perry is “open” to collaborating with former rival Taylor Swift.
The ‘Teenage Dream’ singer and the 29-year-old pop star had been at loggerheads since 2014, when it was claimed Katy had stolen some backing dancers from Taylor’s ‘Red Tour’.
After four years of fighting, Katy called for an end to their feud last May, when she sent a literal olive branch – which is a symbol of peace – to Taylor ahead of the start of her ‘Reputation Stadium World Tour’.
When the ‘Chained to the Rhythm’ hitmaker walked the red carpet the iHeartRadio Music Awards at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Thursday evening (14.03.19), she admitted that she would be willing to work with Taylor.
When asked by ‘Entertainment Tonight’ if she’d like to make music with the ‘Blank Space’ star, she quipped: “I mean, I’m making music with Zedd, [so] I’m open.”
Katy was joined on the carpet by her ‘365’ collaborator Zedd, and the DJ joked that the former enemies could make music in AI form, after the pair were turned into robots for the music video for the song.
He laughed: “I programmed her to make music with anybody, it’s great.”
The ‘Part of Me’ hitmaker jokingly replied: “I’m a loveable AI.”
The ‘Roar’ singer wanted to “set a good example for women” when she sent her heartfelt apology to the ‘End Game’ hitmaker.
According to sources, Katy’s decision to end their feud came as she wanted to show “support” for the ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ hitmaker, and bring an end to women being pitted against each other in the entertainment industry.
An insider said at the time: “Katy planned a very personal, sweet apology and took time to write a kind note in hopes Taylor would see how much she cared about putting this behind them. Katy told friends if Taylor didn’t accept this apology, she would keep trying because she is done holding on to the past and wants to be part of the change in today’s society. She wants to set a good example for women, so she planned to never give up, if that is what it took.
“Katy hopes they finally can be supportive of each other’s music and maybe one day soon even hang out together again. Katy realises they need to take it one day at a time, but that this is a great start.”
The 34-year-old star reportedly hated being at loggerheads with Taylor, and often told close pals she wanted to put the past behind them.
The source added: “She hates that feeling of having bad blood. She often told friends she wanted to end this fight with Taylor, but didn’t know how to make that happen.”
Katy sent Taylor an olive branch along with a handwritten note, which the latter posted a video of on her Instagram story.
In the video, the ‘Blank Space’ hitmaker could be heard saying: “So I just got to my dressing room and found this actual olive branch. This means so much to me.”

Ariana Grande honoured by iHeartRadio Music Award wins

OHMYGOSSIP — Ariana Grande was “so honoured” to be named Artist of the Year at the iHeartRadio Music Awards on Thursday (14.03.19) evening.
The 25-year-old singer was unable to attend the star-studded ceremony at Los Angeles’ Microsoft Theater as she’s just days away from the start of her ‘Sweetener’ world tour, but she pre-recorded a message of thanks for her fans.
Ariana – who was also named Female Artist of the Year – said in the clip: “I am so honoured. I will sleep with this tonight.”
Fans were also treated to a pre-taped intimate performance of her upcoming single ‘Needy’.
Drake, who is currently on tour, was named Male Artist of the Year, while Best Duo/Group of the Year went to 5 Seconds of Summer.
Taylor Swift won two awards, Best Music Video for ‘Delicate’, and Tour of the Year for her ‘Reputation’ stadium shows and she was delighted to have proven her critics wrong.
Accepting the latter, she said: “One of the most wonderful things about the way that this whole tour turned out is that, for, like, the entire six months leading up to the first show of this tour, every headline that I read was, this is going to be a massive failure.
“And it really did wonders for my self-esteem. It was really great to hear people saying that I was going to be playing to nearly empty stadiums.
“I’ve learned a lot. One of the things I’ve learned is that life is really unpredictable and people can make forecasts and they can make predictions, but those predictions and forecasts may not come true if there is an unforeseeable factor involved, and that unforeseeable factor in this case was my fans.”
Alicia Keys urged fans to stay true to themselves in a passionate speech as she picked up the Innovator award.
The ‘Empire State of Mind’ hitmaker – who also performed with her eight-year-old son Eygpt – admitted the accolade meant a lot to her.
She said: “I gotta be honest with you — it means so much to be honoured as an innovator because when I first started out, nobody was like, ‘Look at that tomboy from Hell’s Kitchen who graduated high school at 15, the one with the braids, who seems obsessed with her broken down piano … what a fantastic innovator she is.’ Nobody said that.
“It was like, ‘Who is that? What is she doing? What is she wearing?’ I’m telling you the — even when I first got signed it wasn’t about what new ideas and sounds can Alicia bring? It was more like, ‘How do we make her fit into this mould?’ and I think that’s what a lot of people experience in life.”
The 38-year-old star – who also has four-year-old Genesis with husband Swizz Beatz – urged people not to “change and abuse” themselves in order to fit in.
She said: “We are here do us, you know? It’s crazy … I know how it feels … all we can think about is how to be liked, and how to be accepted and we contort ourselves and change ourselves and starve ourselves and abuse ourselves and hate ourselves and instead, all we gotta do is just love who we are. That’s all we gotta do.
“All we really need to do is appreciate our individuality and embrace what makes us unique because in the end, you’re remembered because you’re different. Because you’re special.
“I’m finally more myself than I’ve ever been and even though it’s a constant process, I encourage you to continue to find the power and the beauty and the unique story in your own journey.”
Elsewhere at the ceremony – which was hosted by T-Pain – Song of the Year went to ‘The Middle’, by Zedd, Maren Morris, Grey, and it also picked up Dance Song of the Year, but the track didn’t also secure the Best Collaboration prize.
Instead, it was awarded to ‘Finesse’ by Bruno Mars featuring Cardi B, who had two other songs on the shortlist, ‘Girls Like You’ with Maroon 5 and ‘I Like It’ featuring Bad Bunny and J. Balvin.
Tiffany Young beat off a shortlist that featured former Fifth Harmony members Normani Lauren Jauregui, Ally Brooke and Dinah Jane to take the Solo Breakout award.

Johnny Vegas to host documentary series on revamping caravans

OHMYGOSSIP — Johnny Vegas has landed a Channel 4 documentary series about revamping caravans.
The barmy comedian will be joined by his assistant Bev as they take on the challenge of transforming five holiday homes in Wales into a luxury glamping experience on a time scale, with no prior knowledge of running a business or interior designs.
On how the idea for the show, titled ‘Llas Vegas’, came about, Johnny said: “I bought a bus online.
“Not because it’s what showbiz folk do, but because my camping van got nicked and it had been my wee bit of creative space heaven.
“Since then, a number of pub chats, misadventures, an art school virus to create beauty as and when you can, plus a deep desire to save these gorgeous machines from a scrap heap, I’m suddenly, finally trying to turn a ‘What if?’ into a ‘Well why not?'”
The ‘Benidorm’ star will also have to fund the project, buy the buses and seek planning permission from the local council.
Admitting he’s “not the most organised” person, he added: “Borrowing cash, sorting out red tape via Bev and taking a risk on the fact that other folk will want to spend time in a place that feels special.
“But I get it.
“As no doubt the bank manager might say, I’m not the most organised person, but I tend to invest in passion.”
Plum Pictures – who are producing the programme – hinted that it will end up a total fiasco.
The production company’s Managing Director Will Daws said: “Llas Vegas will surely become one of the most iconic tourist destinations in the country – if Johnny can raise the money, buy the buses, sort out planning permissions, keep the locals on side and stick to a schedule. What could possibly go wrong.”
‘Llas Vegas’ will air later this year on Channel 4.
