OHMYGOSSIP — Nicola Thorp says “timing” is important in relationships.
The ‘Coronation Street’ actress has opened up about her skepticism about horoscopes and astrology, and she explained while she understands that people turn to thinks like “faith” to find comfort, she suggested life experience can be just as valuable.
Writing in her column for the Metro.co.uk, she said: “People often turn to faith and horoscopes when they are feeling at their most vulnerable and nothing makes humans feel more emotionally exposed than matters of the heart.
“In my years of singledom I have accrued a wealth of dating data.
“The more experience I have, the more I learn to appreciate the importance of timing in relationships but I’m not convinced that includes the exact time you were born.”
The 30-year-old soap star – whose character Nicola Rubinstein left the cobbles this year – decided to try out astrology app The Pattern, and she admitted the accuracy of the platform made her “unsettled”.
She added: “Detailed behavioural patterns, bad relationship habits, emotional blocks – in a matter of seconds it had told me things about myself that my therapist took months to unpack. “I was as unsettled as I was intrigued. But how? I don’t have enough self-importance to believe that my fate is somehow written in the stars, nor am I credulous enough to think it is written in the binary coding of my iPhone.
“Yet my response to the The Pattern’s evaluation was undeniably visceral and transcended rationale.”
Meanwhile, Nicola has previously admitted being in the public eye makes trying to find a man much harder because potential suitors often only want to speak to her to get a selfie for their gran.
She said: “I’ve used dating sites in the past and they can be brilliant, especially if you’re busy working. I’ve met some really interesting people even though it might not have worked out romantically, we’ve become friends.
“It’s funny because I’ve been out recently and have had a good-looking man look at me in a bar, and then I’d pluck up the courage and confidence to go and say hello, and I’ll get, ‘Aren’t you Phelan’s daughter?’
“And I’m like, ‘Damn it! I thought you were going to ask for my number but you just want a photo to show your nan.’ ”

OHMYGOSSIP — David Gordon Green is to direct a new film for the Russo brothers.
The 44-year-old filmmaker – who is best known for helming last year’s new ‘Halloween’ instalment 2008 buddy cop comedy ‘Pineapple Express’ – is to sit in the director’s chair for a movie about the data manipulation carried out by Cambridge Analytica which is being developed by ‘Avengers: Endgame’ directors Joe and Anthony Russo.
Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely have written the screenplay for the drama, which focuses on the British political consulting firm which combined data mining, data brokerage and data analysis with strategic communication during elections in several countries including the UK, US and India, and, according to Deadline, the movie will centre on data consultant Christopher Wylie.
Wylie, 30, is a former employee of Cambridge Analytica and last year released a cache of documents that described the alleged secret workings behind the company, specifically Cambridge Analytica’s supposed unauthorised possession of personal private data from approximately 87 million Facebook user accounts.
Green is also hard at work on a follow-up to his ‘Halloween’ movie, which saw Jamie Lee Curtis reprise her role as Laurie Strode with the film banking over $255 million at the worldwide box office.
Universal and Blumhouse are gearing up for another chapter in the series with Curtis set to battle psychopathic serial killer Michael Myers once again and production is planned to begin this autumn with an October 2020 release date.
While the plot remains unknown it’s likely some version of Michael Myers will return despite his death in the last film and Green – who co-wrote and directed the 2018 film – will return to work on the sequel with his long-time collaborator Danny McBride, who helped pen the script for the last film.

OHMYGOSSIP — Bill Duke is set to direct ‘The Power of One: The Diane Latiker Story’.
The 76-year-old filmmaker-and-actor – who has previously helmed television series’ ‘The Twilight Zone’ and ‘American Playhouse’ – has boarded a biopic based on the life of Chicago activist Diane Latiker.
Latiker is a mother of eight, who opened her home in the turbulent Roseland neighbourhood to youth in her community to help steer them away from the negative influences of the streets before founding non-profit organisation Kids Off The Block.
The charity provides at-risk low-income youth positive alternatives to gangs, drugs, truancy and violence by offering homework help, mentoring, music, drama, sports, community service and a “safe place” to spend time.
In a statement, Latiker said: “It’s so important to receive support when you decide to open your heart, home and life to the children affected by violence! If we don’t do it for our children, who’s going to do it?
“Now more than ever, they need us to open our hearts and offer them a safe space in our communities! It worries me that young people think there is no hope beyond the gun; it’s our job to show them that it is and we will through this film.
“I am so grateful that Mr. Duke has agreed to direct this film as I believe this film with Mr. Duke directing will inspire the world and give hope to millions of children for generations to come.”
Duke added: “Diane is my hero. She is the example we should all follow. She is saving out future, leading the way to the light of hope for our children.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Arnold Schwarzenegger decided to return to the ‘Terminator’ franchise for a fifth time because he is “addicted” to playing his cyborg character.
The now 71-year-old actor first appeared as the killer T-800 assassin – a cybernetic organism sent back in time from a future Earth ruled by machines – in James Cameron’s 1984 sci-fi classic ‘The Terminator’ and is coming back to the franchise for a fifth outing in Tim Miller’s upcoming sixth movie ‘Terminator: Dark Fate’.
Schwarzenegger has starred in every movie in the franchise other than 2009’s ‘Terminator Salvation’ as he couldn’t take part as he was in public office serving as the Governor of California at the time and he admits he just can’t stay away from the franchise that helped make him famous and change his life.
Speaking during a panel at San Diego Comic Con, he said: “I need to come back. I’m addicted to ‘Terminator’. ‘Terminator’ was the movie that really launched my action movie career.
“James Cameron came to me and says, ‘I want you to be in ‘Terminator’ and I want you to play the Terminator. From that moment on everything has changed my life … He really created the 80s and the 90s action genre.”
Schwarzenegger thinks the iconic T-800 character is “unique” in science-fiction and, despite his incredible four-decade spanning career, he will always feel “indebted” to Cameron, the creator of the money-spinning franchise who helmed the first film and the acclaimed sequel ‘Terminator 2: Judgment Day’ which came out in 1991.
The action legend added: “It was one of those unique characters, amongst the top ten villains and scariest characters, but at the same time amongst the top ten heroic characters. That’s unheard of and only someone like Jim Cameron can create something like that.”
In ‘Terminator: Dark Fate’, Schwarzenegger will be reunited with Linda Hamilton – who plays Sarah Connor, the mother of humanity’s saviour John Connor – for the first time on screen since ‘Terminator 2’.
The movie is scheduled for release on November 1.

Filmmaker James Cameron has confirmed the 41-year-old actor – whose last appearance in the franchise came 28 years ago in ‘Terminator 2: Judgement Day’ – will make his long-awaited return with the upcoming movie.
Speaking during a panel at Comic-Con in San Diego on Thursday (18.07.19), Cameron – who created the film series and will act as producer on the latest instalment – made the exciting announcement Furlong will be back as John Connor.
‘Deadpool’ director Tim Miller will helm the sixth film in the sci-fi franchise, with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton also confirmed for the cast.
Arnie, 71, first appeared as the killer T-800 assassin – a cybernetic organism sent back in time from a future Earth ruled by machines – in James Cameron’s 1984 sci-fi classic ‘The Terminator’ and he’ll be back for a fifth outing this year.
Schwarzenegger has starred in every movie in the franchise other than 2009’s ‘Terminator Salvation’ as he couldn’t take part as he was in public office serving as the Governor of California at the time.
Meanwhile, he will be reunited with Hamilton – who plays Sarah Connor, the mother of humanity’s savior John – for the first time on screen since ‘Terminator 2’.
Cameron revealed this week he wrote Hamilton a long email to convince her to return for what has been billed a direct sequel to the second film.
He said: “I think the key point in the pro column was people love you in this character. It was so iconic and I think the fans just want to know what’s she like now? What’s her life been like in the meantime?”

OHMYGOSSIP — Rob Schneider is running for seat on the SAG-AFTRA national board to support his “fellow actors”.
The ‘Grown Ups’ star is looking to become a member of presidential candidate Matthew Modine’s Membership First team and to represent the union’s San Francisco branch.
In a statement, he said: “I’ve been a SAG member for 30 years. In that time, I’ve witnessed changes in our industry from bad cable deals to disastrous DVD deals and I’ve seen the income of my fellow actors decline precipitously.
“Sadly, our profession has turned into a hobby for most actors. All of this happening while there has been an explosion of new media and billions of dollars have been made.
“None of this work can be made without SAG members. We need better representation to demand our fair share. Our Health and Pension and the future of our union demands that we take action.”
Over his long career, Schneider has starred in the likes of ‘Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo’, ‘The Hot Chick’ and ‘The Benchwarmers’, while he was also a cast member on ‘Saturday Night Live’ from 1990 to 1994.
He also produced his own Netflix series ‘Rob, with the first season airing in 2015 and the second following two years later.
Meanwhile, SAG-AFTRA – officially known as the Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists – is a US union founded in 2012 with around 160,000 members including actors, radio stars, journalists singers and other professionals.
Schneider’s prospective post is currently held by Katherine Howell, while Modine is challenging the re-election of the organisation’s president Gabrielle Carteris.

OHMYGOSSIP — Jessica Chastain says one of her scenes in ‘It Chapter Two’ is the bloodiest scene in horror movie history.
The 42-year-old actress is playing the adult version of Beverly in Andy Muschietti’s sequel to the hit 2017 film based on Stephen King’s iconic 1986 novel, and she has promised gore fans will get their money’s worth.
Speaking at a panel for ‘It Chapter Two’ at the San Diego Comic Con, Chastain said she had been told the film had broken a record: “That’s what I was told on set. It wasn’t real blood, obviously. 4,500 gallons of fake blood.”
The ‘X-Men: Dark Phoenix’ star revealed she ended up “immersed” in the huge amount of fake blood, but she admitted it was her own decision as she wanted to surpass another King creation.
She added: “I was immersed in it. Basically it’s kind of like a mixture of KY Jelly with red dye. The director was telling me about the scene and he said, ‘It’s only going to go up to your chest.’
“And I said, ‘This is our opportunity to really make something crazy. Let’s do ‘Carrie’ on steroids.’ I fully went in the blood, which I regretted a lot afterwards. I was pulling stuff out of my eyeballs the next day.”
Co-star Bill Hader, who plays the adult Richie Tozier, explained that whenever Chastain was dunked in the blood, there was a noise that would tell him and his co-stars they were about to start filming.
He said: “When they would pour the blood on Jessica, it was incredibly cold. And so when that happened we knew that was our time, that we were about to shoot any minute.
“So we would hear this sound [makes noise of chattering teeth] and then we’d be like, ‘Well, alright, here we go!'”
The movie – which also stars James McAvoy as Bill, James Ransone as Eddie and Andy Bean as Stan – is set for a September 6 release.

OHMYGOSSIP — Helen McCrory has joined the cast of ‘His Dark Materials’.
It was announced today (19.07.19) at San Diego Comic-Con that the 50-year-old actress – who is best known for her roles in the ‘Harry Potter’ saga and BBC’s hit drama ‘Peaky Blinders’ – will star in the Beeb and HBO’s upcoming fantasy adventure based on the novel series of the same name by Philip Pullman.
The show – which is set in an alternate world where all humans have animal companions called dæmons, which are the manifestation of the human soul – already has a stellar cast which includes Dafne Keen, James McAvoy, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Ruth Wilson.
Helen will voice Lord Azrael’s (McAvoy) snow leopard daemon and the ‘Split’ star explained at the event that its “different” to see himself reflected through an animal.
He said:”It’s a very different kind of relationship with yourself… because you’ve got a reflection of yourself right in front of you… and everybody else can see your soul as well.”
The show centres on young Lyra (Keen), an orphan living with the teachers at Jordan College, who discovers a dangerous secret that involves Lord Asriel and Mrs. Marisa Coulter (Wilson) and James feels the whole series s about “freedom”.
He explained: “She’s [Lyra] trying to understand herself through them. We’re so, so difficult to get a hold of and this girl just needs to get a hold of something.
“It’s just heartbreaking. My daemon’s a snow leopard… he’s got a very important mission.
“The story won’t work unless she comes of age and the whole thing is about freedom and Lord Azrael is about gaining that freedom for everyone.”
Meanwhile, Ruth is excited to be taking on Mrs. Coulter as an opportunity to portray a character who is “frightening” but “fun”.
She added:: “It’s fun to play a bad character, but she’s unknowable and frightening for that reason. You’ll see that she becomes a bit of a monkey when she’s at her worst. I do something quite nasty to a child. It was quite fun, though!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kevin Clifton would “really love” to be paired with Dawn French on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 36-year-old pro – who won the last series with his now-girlfriend Stacey Dooley – revealed who his dream partner would be on the BBC ballroom competition, and the star admitted he would pick the 61-year-old actress because he thinks she would be “wicked” at the show.
Speaking on BBC Radio Solent this week, Kevin said: “For some reason, I don’t know why. I just like the idea of it, I’d really love to do ‘Strictly’ with Dawn French. I think she would be wicked. I have no idea if she’d ever do it.”
And the ballroom star went on to admit the show’s dancers – which include Anton Du Beke, Gorka Marquez, Oti Mabuse and Karen Hauer – have their own Whatsapp group where they discuss which new celebrity competitors each professional should be “paired up” with.
He added: “The pros do have a WhatsApp group, so when the celebs start getting announced, usually throughout August, we are all on the group with each other saying ‘she’d be good for you’ or ‘he’d be good for you’.
“So then we try and pair everybody up by the time they are all announced on our WhatsApp group.”
However, Kevin insisted the pros have no say in which celebrity they actually get partnered up with.
He said: “I believe the celebs get to talk to the producers a little bit to say ‘I would like someone like this’, some of them might prefer a more stricter approach or more soft.
“I believe there’s some sort of conversation between the producers and celebs but the pros – no.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ovie Soko warns Amber Gill she will get her “heart shattered again” if she recouples with Michael Griffiths.
The 28-year-old basketball player sits down with the 21-year-old beautician on Friday night’s (19.07.19) episode of the ITV2 dating show ahead of a dramatic recoupling, as his close friend tries to decide whether to give her romance with Michael another go or to pick newcomer Greg O’Shea.
He says: “Going back with Michael, your heart could get shattered again but you like him more than Greg, that’s the reality.
“The connection you have with Michael is much stronger than the connection you have with Greg.”
The firefighter previously split from Amber after meeting Joanna Chimondes in Casa Amor, but on Thursday (18.07.19) he admitted to his fellow islanders that he still has feelings for his former flame.
He told them: “Now that Joanna has gone, it has given me time to think about things. I’m not saying I don’t like Joanna, because I do. But I feel like because Joanna was there I actively avoided Amber.”
Jordan said: “I think if you did go back there, things would be so different.”
Meanwhile, later on Friday ahead of the villa shake up, Amber admits she is in two minds about whether to give Michael another chance and explore their “connection” further.
Amber adds: “It’s been the hardest decision that I’ve had to make. I really don’t know what the right thing to do is. It’s hard, I’ve got one boy who I’ve got a history with.
“We’ve had ups and downs, but I can’t deny there’s a connection there and I’ve got another guy that’s come in and put a smile back on my face when I’ve been miserable.”
‘Love Island’ airs tonight at 9pm on ITV2.

OHMYGOSSIP — Jonny Labey has reportedly signed up for ‘Celebrity X Factor’.
The former ‘EastEnders’ star – who played Paul Coker on the BBC soap for a year until his exit in 2016 – is said to have agreed to appear on the revamped version of Simon Cowell’s singing competition.
An insider told the Daily Star newspaper: “Jonny has really impressed the panel with his vocal ability.
“They weren’t expecting him to be as good as he is. Everyone working on the show is saying he’ll be one to watch.
“The public know him for his acting, but this will be his chance to show he can sing too.”
‘Celebrity X Factor’, and an ‘All-Star X Factor’ featuring past contestants, are set to replace the usual series of ‘The X Factor’ this year, with rumoured names for the celeb version including hardman Vinnie Jones, ‘TOWIE’ favourite Gemma Collins, Jenny ‘The Vixen’ Ryan from ‘The Chase’, and Glee’s Kevin McHale.
Former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ pro Brendan Cole is expected to team up with ‘Holby City’ actor Jeremy Edwards on the talent show.
A source recently said: “Brendan has a huge fanbase from ‘Strictly’, and Jeremy has been on some of the biggest soaps in the country so they’re hopeful they will go far.
“Initially it started out as a bit of a novelty idea but they’re really enjoying it and have started to feel pretty optimistic about making a mark on the show.
“They’ve already filmed their first scenes, so there’s no going back – but ‘Strictly’ probably won’t be too impressed when they find out he has jumped on board with their biggest rival after all those years.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Lacey Turner thinks Max Branning and Ruby Allen’s ‘EastEnders’ hook up is a “great twist”.
The 31-year-old soap star – who has played Stacey Fowler on and off since 2004 – has opened up on the ongoing storyline which will see her alter-ego’s best friend Ruby (Louisa Lytton) start a surprise affair with her former flame Max (Jake Wood), and the actress is pleased with the direction bosses have taken.
She said: “She definitely didn’t see that one coming! Stacey would never have put them together in a million years.
“I’m not sure Stacey knows how to feel about it, one of her oldest friends with the man she once loved. It’s a great twist!
“Max and Ruby have been through a lot over the years and have had huge challenges to overcome, so they have that in common.”
Lacey thinks Ruby and Max are “a good match”, and should play off each other quite well as things develop.
She is quoted by RadioTimes.com as saying: “Personally I think they’re a good match, I don’t think Ruby would put up with Max’s games, she’s very independent and would give him a run for his money!”
Lacey and her husband Matt Kay welcomed their first child into the world on Friday (12.07.19).
After taking monthly pregnancy tests, the couple – who got married in 2017 – found out they were expecting a baby in November last year, and Lacey admitted she couldn’t wait to “nurture” her little one.
She said: “I can’t wait to nurture our baby – we’ve dreamed of having a family for so long. When you’ve lost babies all you care about is the heartbeat – we’ve had about 12 scans.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Brooke Vincent says pregnancy has removed some of her previous body hang-ups.
The ‘Coronation Street’ star and her footballer boyfriend Kean Bryan announced in April 2019 they were expecting, and the cobbles favourite admitted it now takes her up to an hour to find something to wear because of her bump.
She said: “It’s very strange having pictures taken and not breathing in because you’re so used to doing it and standing a certain way.
“I think people underestimate how pregnancy makes you feel or how much you change. Your entire body changes. It’s a whole new experience but it’s nice having the challenge to find things that fit.
“Sometimes it takes me an hour to find something to wear.”
Brooke admitted social media has affected her vision of pregnancy and cited TV star Stacey Solomon as someone who has been honest about “missing her bump”.
She said: “I’ve not worried through my pregnancy and I’ve noticed every change.
“Stacey Solomon has been really honest about missing her bump; I think she has a really good take on what’s normal for someone in the public eye. I think that’s really important because when I first got pregnant I expected to look a certain way and I didn’t, and that’s down to social media.”
Brooke, who has played Sophie Webster since 2004, is yet to discover the gender of her baby, but a number of her family members believe she will have a boy.
She added to OK! magazine: “I change my mind all the time. My mum and Kean’s mum think I’m having a boy. My skin has always been bad but it was particularly bad at the start and people were saying, ‘It’s a girl, they take away your beauty.’
“My nana keeps me informed of my weight gain and tells me I’ve gone round, so I must be having a boy.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Julia Goulding is taking just four months maternity leave.
The ‘Coronation Street’ actress – who is expecting a baby with her husband Ben Silver – won’t be away from Weatherfield for too long, and her co-star Jack P. Shepherd has hinted their alter-egos Shona Ramsey and David Platt could tie the knot on screen before she leaves.
Speaking to Inside Soap magazine, he said: “Julia’s off for four months but we may cross over on screen when David gets out of prison.
“I’d like them to have a massive wedding, although I doubt that will happen, as they don’t have any money now that David’s given his nan the barbers.
“Shona doesn’t make much at Roy’s. I imagine it will be a registrar down at the town hall or the bistro.”
David proposed to Shona in March, and Julia admitted at the time she was hoping for a big on-screen wedding.
She said: “Fingers crossed, they’ll make it to the altar. I genuinely think they do love each other.
“I hope they have a big, big wedding. Neither of them have had an easy ride of it these past few years so I think a big celebration would be wonderful.”
Shona called off their engagement last month after David revealed he had spent part of his gran Audrey Roberts’ (Sue Nicholls) stolen money, but a Weatherfield wedding is definitely on the cards.
She added: “At the moment the engagement is off, but I am allowed to say that we will be getting married.
“I think she’s tried really hard to bring herself out of the gutter and I think she calms him. I think she makes him a bit more mature.”
Julia – who married Ben in February after three years of dating – revealed her pregnancy news in May.
She wrote on Instagram: “Ben and I are delighted to announce that we are expecting our first baby at the end of this year! We are absolutely overjoyed and can’t wait to meet our little one!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Danny Williams has been inundated with people calling him “the travel agent” since he left ‘Love Island’.
The 21-year-old star is dating fellow former Islander Jourdan Riane, 24, having previously dumped Yewande Biala and Arabella Chi in the villa – leading to their exits from the show – but he laughed off the idea he is a “bad omen” after he and his beau also got sent home.
Speaking to ‘Capital Breakfast with Roman Kemp’, he said: “Is it my fault? Yeah I’ve seen a lot of things on Twitter and Instagram circulating calling me the travel agent and I thought it was absolutely hilarious.
“Fingers crossed, now we’re out the villa, there’s no more bad omens and we can just crack on and be positive.”
The nickname was given to Danny by the ITV2 dating show’s narrator Iain Stirling after Danny’s head kept getting turned in the villa, leaving the previous love interest facing a flight home after they were dumped from the island.
While narrating one show scene, Iain quipped: “Back in the villa, Jourdan’s chatting to Danny, or as I like to call him, the travel agent because when people hang around him, they always wind up heading to the airport.”
Danny and Jourdan – who have confirmed their relationship is now official – dismissed the idea they are part of a ‘showmance’.
She argued: “As much as there’s been loads of positivity and love and stuff, there’s also been quite a lot of negativity and I don’t think either of us would put ourselves through any more negativity and hate just for the sake of a picture on Instagram.
“It’s just not worth it. But I don’t really care if people don’t believe it because we know what it is.”
Danny admitted he could see why some people might doubt the strength of their feelings for each other because of the “short amount of time” contestants spend in the villa, but he described their romance as genuine.
He added: “To a certain extent but then, you know, you’re in the villa for such a short amount of time, you only know these people for a short amount of time, so feelings aren’t that strong and now I’m at a stage with Jourdan where feelings are genuinely strong.”
Tune into ‘Capital Breakfast with Roman Kemp’, week days from 6am-10am.

OHMYGOSSIP — Harry Redknapp found his ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ experience “invigorating”.
The football manager was crowned King of the Jungle on the ITV reality show last year, and while his time Down Under was challenging, he was pleasantly pleased by certain tough aspects of jungle life.
Speaking on Paul McKenna’s ‘Positivity Podcast’, he said: “So, drinking water … there was nothing nice about the food or the water or anything else.
“There were no gimmes. It was tough. You were up very, very early, freezing cold shower in the water that was coming off the hillside.
“Yeah, it was … it was … but it was invigorating sleeping outside in the open. Everybody lost weight.
“You know, I felt good. I felt very healthy, very fit for it all week. It made me feel good.”
Harry also admitted he was unsure about taking part in the Australia-based programme, but is glad he didn’t drop out of ‘I’m A Celebrity’.
He said: “It was a great experience for me. I’m glad I done it. I nearly didn’t do it. Right late on, I was sort of still not sure I was going to go ahead with it, and I did it.
“One or two friends of mine said, ‘Harry, it’s a great experience for you at your age. You know, go and do it.’ Yeah, I’ve never seen the show. I didn’t know what to expect, but I went into it, and I’m really pleased I did it, yeah.”
The 72-year-old star was in the jungle with the likes of ‘The Inbetweeners’ actress Emily Atack – who was runner up on the show – and former ‘X Factor’ star Fleur East, and Harry explained the programme was an opportunity to try “something different”.
He added: “This was a chance to go and do something different in my life, a new experience, and I’m pleased I did it. I met some lovely people in there. They were great.
“They weren’t people that I’d ever have thought I’d associate with, a lot younger than me, showbiz people, but every one of them was fantastic. They were just a lovely group of people, and I thoroughly enjoyed being with them, so that made it easier for me.”
