Charley Webb diagnosed with pelvic condition

OHMYGOSSIP — Charley Webb has been diagnosed with a pregnancy-related pelvic condition.
The ‘Emmerdale’ actress has been left in “agony” after being struck with SPD (symphysis pubis dysfunction), which has seen her muscles relax too much ahead of her birth, and she is also still suffering from morning sickness at times.
She said: “I still get waves of sickness but I’ve also been diagnosed with SPD [symphysis pubis dysfunction].
“It’s when your muscles have relaxed too much ready for the birth.
“It’s agony.”
Charley is expecting her third child with husband and co-star Matthew Wolfenden, and is keen to give birth in a hospital rather than at home “for the sake of [her] own anxiety”.
The Debbie Dingle actress – who has kids Buster, nine, and three-year-old Bowie with the David Metcalfe star – said: “Matthew’s up for a home birth but I’d like to be in a hospital for the sake of my own anxiety, in case anything went wrong.”
Charley admits she finds pregnancy “amazing”, but isn’t a massive fan of her body “getting bigger”.
She added to OK! magazine: “I’d be lying if I said I really enjoy the experience of getting bigger.
“But I appreciate what my body is doing. I think pregnancy is amazing.”
Matthew recently admitted he is looking forward to the “chaos” of having another child.
He said: “We’ve always wanted a big family. It feels different this time as it feels like we’re going from a family to a gang.
“We’re looking forward to the chaos another child will bring.”
The happy couple are yet to find out the sex of their impending arrival, and Charley doesn’t mind whether she has a boy or a girl.
She said: “Buster was so desperate for Bowie to be a boy and he was, so it would be nice to have that same thing for Bowie.
“It doesn’t matter to me at all. I’m used to boys and I always thought I’d have three boys and a girl, in that order. That’s my instinct but who knows.”

Caroline Flack hoping for Love Island threesome

OHMYGOSSIP — Caroline Flack is hoping there will be a threesome on ‘Love Island’ this year.
The host of the ITV2 dating reality show has seen a lot of sex and frisky behaviour during her tenure on the show but she’s hoping that things will get even steamier when the new series kicks off and she and the viewers get to see a ménage à trois,
And Caroline thinks The Hideaway location of the villa would be the perfect location for some three-way fun.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, she said: “We haven’t had a threesome. We don’t usually let three people in The Hideaway – there’s usually only two. Maybe this year we can. The hot tub being in The Hideaway is a good. I think they’ll use it more. Hot tubs with two people are sexy. Hot tubs with six are dirty.”
Although Caroline, 39, is keen to see if ‘Love Island’ can have its first ever threesome this year she doesn’t believe the programme needs the couples to have sex on screen to pull in viewers.
She said: “You don’t need it unless it’s part of the storyline. It becomes a bit unnecessary to just see people shagging. We’re so much more than that and that’s what people really enjoy.”
Last year’s run saw Megan Barton Hanson and make love under the covers with Wes Nelson, after he had already bedded fellow Islander Laura Anderson.
Wes was the founder of the “do bits society” which was comprised of contestants who had ticked off sexual acts on the show.
The new series of ‘Love Island’ starts on Monday night (03.06.19) at 9pm.

Amber Davies says Love Island aftercare was ‘amazing’

OHMYGOSSIP — Amber Davies says her ‘Love Island’ aftercare was “amazing”.
The 22-year-old singer – who won the ITV2 dating show alongside then-boyfriend Kem Cetinay in 2017 – has defended the programme, and insisted contestants know they are “signing up for fame” when they join the series.
Speaking on ‘Lorraine’, she said: “It’s inevitable when they go in they are signing up for fame.
“They know what kind of money they’ll be coming out to. I can’t speak for everyone else but my personal experience of aftercare was amazing.
“However, you do sign up for it yourself. No one is holding a gun to your head to sign up to it.”
‘Love Island’ has come under fire following the deaths of former contestants Mike Thalassitis, 26, and Sophie Gradon, 32.
Some have even called for the programme to be axed after ITV ended ‘The Jeremy Kyle Show’ after 14 years following a participant death.
And Amber admits that while it looks like former ‘Love Island’ stars are always “living the dream”, that is not always the case.
She said: “It looked like we’re living the dream, leading this glamorous life, but it’s not always like that.
“Jobs are very slim for ‘Love Island’ stars at the moment. And the more popular ‘Love Island’ gets the fewer jobs there will be.
“Your life does change dramatically.”
Amber thinks this year’s contestants will make for entertaining viewing because they are “a lot sassier” than last year’s Islanders.
She said: “They’re a lot sassier this year. I think there will be a lot more arguments.”
‘Love Island’ will return on Monday (03.06.19) at 9pm on ITV2.

Patton Oswalt had ‘reservations’ about taking over from Louis CK on Pets sequel

OHMYGOSSIP — Patton Oswalt had “reservations” about replacing Louis C.K. in ‘The Secret Life of Pets 2’.
Disgraced comedian Louis voiced the lead character Max the Jack Russell in the 2016 movie but was removed from the sequel following sexual harassment allegations and Patton admitted he hesitated before accepting the role.
He told The Hollywood Reporter: “I did have some hesitations, but it was more about the story rather than the voice, so I just said, ‘Alright’.”
However, Patton was excited to work with Illumination studios as he is a big fan of the company.
He explained: “When they tell stories, every single character in their movies has a story. So to be part of an ensemble where they’re paying that much attention to every little character’s story, even a character that’s in there for just a second, you get a feeling that they’re creating such a rich world and I get to play in that world.”
Director Chris Renaud, believes Patton was the perfect person to take on the part of Max and he is thrilled with the result.
He said: “For Max, sarcasm is a little bit of a defence mechanism, he’s very good at it but he also feels a little bit vulnerable in his world. I think Patton can really embody that. He does it in a different way than Louis but he can really nail that sensibility.”
The new movie also features Harrison Ford as Rooster the sheepdog and Tiffany Haddish as Daisy the shih tzu and Harrison joked that working on an animated movie was only “half as hard” a live action film.
He said he took on the part because, “I saw the first film and I thought it would be great fun to do, and it was”
Tiffany loved the first movie and jumped at the chance to be involved in the sequel.
She said: “I thought that the first one was very funny. I love my character Daisy, she’s so funny and so cute and she has a lot of courage and tenacity like I do. I have a very vivid imagination and getting the opportunity to use it and make those words come to life was everything to me.”

Beyonce’s mother encouraged Lion King role

OHMYGOSSIP — Beyoncé’s mother encouraged her to take on the role of Nala in ‘The Lion King’ remake.
The 37-year-old singer will voice Nala in the upcoming Disney remake and Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles Lawson, revealed the original movie was a big part of Beyoncé’s childhood.
She told Variety: “My kids [Beyoncé and Solange] and I watched ‘The Lion King’ probably 30 times, so I was a big push for Beyoncé to do the voice of Nala. Think about that for your kids when they get older.
“I got to see part of the movie and I cried, I mean It’s going to be another 50-60 years of [audiences watching]”.
Tina also confirmed that she has heard some of the “beautiful” original music Beyoncé is working on for the new movie.
Beyoncé’s Destiny’s Child bandmate Michelle Williams refused to give any details on the film but said she can’t wait to watch it.
She said: “If you ain’t hear it from Mrs. Carter, you’re not going to hear it from me. As an adult, I can’t wait to get back into that feeling, because I know what it did for little children around the world. I love the music, I love the story, anything that Elton John touches.”
And director Jon Favreau recently praised Beyoncé’s “wonderful” performance.
He said: “Oh, you’re in for a treat! She’s wonderful. She’s been coming by looking at stuff. I’ve been hearing stuff, not just the stuff from that we recorded from the original film, but she’s been working on [new] music as well. And she is a staggering talent and I’m so fortunate to be collaborating with her.”
‘The Lion King’ will also feature Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Donald Glover as Simba, Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen as Timon and Pumbaa and John Oliver as Zazu.

Tommy Fury and Curtis Pritchard will be late Love Island arrivals

OHMYGOSSIP — Curtis Pritchard and Tommy Fury will stun the ‘Love Island’ contestants tonight (03.06.19) when they enter the villa as late arrivals, as the show’s fifth series kicks off.
The 23-year-old pro dancer and the 20-year-old boxer – who both have famous brothers, Strictly Come Dancing’s AJ Pritchard and boxing champion Tyson Fury – will enter the Majorcan paradise after the initial 10 Islanders have coupled up, sending shockwaves through the villa.
Amber Gill, 21, will receive a text teasing the pair’s imminent arrival.
The message reads: “Islanders, it’s time for the real games to begin. Please welcome your new arrivals. #DoubleTrouble #BoxFresh #HotToFoxtrot (sic)”
Curtis and Tommy then head into the villa, much to their recently coupled-up Islanders’ surprise.
Michael Griffiths, 27, says: “Nobody was expecting that! Like nobody at all.”
Lucie says: “It’s been such a full-on day. There have been bevs [attractive lads] coming in everywhere and then two guys come in … who are also bevs.”
Earlier in the episode, Sherif Lanre, 20, will confess he already knows of fellow Islander Anna Vakili, because he follows the 28-year-old pharmacist on Instagram, and she seems shocked by his omissions.
Referring to the first coupling, he says: “I wasn’t going to say out there.”
Reflecting on the news in the Beach Hut, she says: “He just brought it out so casually.
“Like, ‘Yeah I follow you on Instagram.’
“I was flattered but I didn’t expect it coming in here, that someone would follow me on Instagram. When I do go out, I do tend to get that a lot.”
During the coupling, all 10 Islanders manage to couple up, and Lucie Donlan, 21, looks to be particularly in demand.
Joe Garratt, 22, manages to pluck up the courage to have a one-on-one chat with her, during which the pair discuss the possibility of the surfer teaching him how to ride the waves, after an initial misunderstanding.
Anton Danyluk also takes a shine to Lucie.
The 24-year-old gym owner says: “My initial attraction was towards you.”
Lucie replies: “Oh really?”
Anton says: “A million per cent. I wanted to see if you’re attracted to me.”
Lucie then says: “Yeah definitely. You walked in and we were all like ‘Oh my God, look at him’ You’re very good looking.”
And while Tommy is to be a late entry on Monday night, he could be the last one out of the villa on the show’s finale if betting experts Bookmakers.tv are correct.
They believe the boxer have what it takes to go the distance in the villa because he has numerous similarities to previous male winners Jack Fincham and Kem Cetinay.
All four winners have had dark hair, the last two have Taurus as their star sign, as does Tommy, and all four have been under 25.
Bookies appear to agree, putting Tommy up as a 3/1 favourite for be the top man.
‘Love Island’ airs Monday (03.06.19) at 9pm on ITV2.

Zara McDermott wants Love Island to be more diverse

OHMYGOSSIP — Zara McDermott has called for a “diversity of personality” on ‘Love Island’.
The 22-year-old beauty – who appeared on the fourth season of the hit ITV2 dating show – believes the show needs “inclusivity in terms of ethnicity” and “in terms of body shape”, and says the programme should feature a number of different personalities.
She told Metro.co.uk: “I think it is not only about appearance but it is about the diversity of personality.
“So as long as that diversity is done as well. It makes a really good show.”
Zara met her ex-boyfriend Adam Collard on the show in 2018 and split from him after seven months of dating following their villa romance.
The brunette recently recent went to Bali for a short break following a hectic post-‘Love Island’ time.
She said: “You go into the villa as a normal person but you leave more famous than a lot of other reality TV stars already out there.”
‘Love Island’ has come under increased scrutiny following the deaths of former contestants Mike Thalassitis, 26, and Sophie Gradon, 32, but ITV have revealed there will be more detailed conversations with Islanders regarding the impact of participation on the show, and bespoke training for all Islanders on social media and financial management, which extends support to all contestants following their participation.
Zara admitted the aftercare she received was “enough” and she felt like producers “kept an open relationship” with her and the other contestants after they left the show.
She added: “For me, my aftercare was enough. The producers always wanted to keep an open relationship with us.
“I supposed this new aftercare plan is open for people who feel like they can’t ask for help.”

Iain Sterling picks Love Island winner

OHMYGOSSIP — Iain Sterling thinks Yewande Biala will win this year’s ‘Love Island’.
The show’s narrator thinks the 23-year-old scientist has a special “presence” – but he isn’t backing any of the men that will appear on screen in Monday’s (03.06.19) first episode to joining her in triumphing on the dating show.
Asked who he thinks will win, he told Capital Breakfast’s Roman Kemp, Vick Hope and Sonny Jay: “I think the winner of Love Island 2019 will be the lady at the top right with the very lovely smile. This is genuine. I think Yewanade is going to win it with a new boy that enters the villa.
“I think she’s just got… her presence, even from that photo, just jumped out at me.”
But Iain doesn’t think Yewande will have an easy journey in the villa.
He added: “The thing is, if I get this so right everyone’s going to be like ‘oh the show is fixed!’ but I think she’s going to struggle at the start, she’s going to struggle in love, then everyone’s going to warm to her then BOOM! Sexy scientist man comes in, they couple up, and they live happily ever after.”
‘Love Island’ has come under fire for a lack of body diversity with the contestants and while Iain believes the show is showing a “comedy ideal of paradise”, he thinks there ought to be a change.
He said: “I just feel like ‘Love Island’ is like a fantasy TV show. We’re showing our, sort of, in my opinion, a comedy ideal of what paradise is like.
“But I think other shapes and sizes will fit into that narrative but I just think it’s a… finding the right people who fit the tone of the show.
“So it’s a tricky one, it is a tricky one and the reason it’s a hot topic is because there’s no correct answer.
“But I think sometimes when something like ‘Love Island’ becomes such a significant cultural reference, a lot of pressure’s put on it that maybe could also be taken by society in general, do you know what I mean? So there’s plenty places that we could get our, you know, different shapes and sizes from. Is Love Island the correct platform for it? I mean, it definitely could be and there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be, and maybe one day it’ll happen but it’s tricky.”

Colson Smith wants to star on Love Island

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Coronation Street’ star Colson Smith wants to go on ‘Love Island’.
The 20-year-old actor – who plays Craig Tinker in the soap – is tempted to see if he can get on the ITV2 dating reality show and find romance in the villa.
Colson revealed his ambition as he appeared in his co-star Lucy Fallon’s Instagram Story as the pair got ready to attend the 2019 British Soap Awards at the weekend.
The two friends posed together as Colson showed off suit on the social media platform to say: “Soap Awards 2019, hello!”
Then making his declaration for the programme, he said: “‘Love Island’, I’m coming for you!”
As Colson’s vow spread on social media he received a Twitter message from ‘This Is England’ star Thomas Turgoose about his ‘Love Island’ dream warning him that if he did get to the villa his red hair and fair skin may not cope with the scorching temperatures experienced on the Spanish Balearic Island of Majorca where the show if filmed.
Thomas’ tweet read: “Careful in the sun mate. You’ll come home like a lobster.”
Colson then replied: “Layer up on factor 50.”
The new series of ‘Love Island’ – which is hosted by Caroline Flack – starts on ITV2 at 9pm on Monday night (03.06.19).

Kieron Richardson was blasted by trolls as ‘irresponsible parent’

OHMYGOSSIP — Kieron Richardson quit Twitter after trolls accused him of “teaching his kids to be racist”.
The ‘Hollyoaks’ actor stopped using the social media site after several described him as an “irresponsible parent” because of his character Ste Hay’s radicalisation storyline, and his husband Carl Hyland – with whom he has two-year-old twins Phoebe and Chase – admitted he was tempted to hit back at the trolls.
Kieron said: “I had people saying things like, ‘You’re teaching your kid to be racist. You’re an irresponsible parent.’
“I just couldn’t deal with people saying things about my kids.”
Speaking in a joint interview with OK! magazine, Carl added: “When I see those comments, I want to retaliate but then I’m becoming a keyboard warrior myself and I don’t want to do that.”
Ste has joined a right wing extremist group after being groomed by Jonny Baxter (Ray Quinn), and Kieron recently admitted the criticisms even had an impact on his performances as he took the comments to heart.
He said: “It is so hard to watch and it is very controversial but it has to be like that as that is real life.
“I deleted my Twitter because people were hating on me and I was then trying to water down my performance as I didn’t want to offend people, but that is the wrong way to do it.
“I just got rid of it and now I go in every day and I do it to the best of my ability.”
‘Hollyoaks’ – which scooped Best Soap at last weekend’s British Soap Awards – have been collaborating with a number of expert advisors and charities for the storyline, which looks in-depth into the problem of radicalisation into far-right extremism.
Despite the backlash on social media, Kieron is pleased to be part of such a significant plot.
He recently said: “The positive messages are off the Muslim community who are saying, ‘Thank you for doing this and being our voice’.
“I hope people realise why we are doing it and hopefully people will get educated.”

Samira Mighty defends Love Island’s aftercare

OHMYGOSSIP — Samira Mighty says Love Island’s aftercare was “on tap”, admitting the show helped when she had “so much anxiety”.
The reality star has defended the ITV2 programme – which has been criticised following the deaths of two of its former contestants – and says the team were there for her after the series.
She said: “I had so much anxiety. I felt sick all the time. I got really skinny. I weren’t eating. I looked awful.”
Speaking about the show’s aftercare, she said: “They were literally on tap. You could send them a message at 1am being like hey I’ll call you in the morning and I’ll be like fine.”
Samira also admitted she would love to see more people of colour on ‘Love Island’.
Speaking on ‘Victoria Derbyshire’, she added: “When I was in there I know there was a lot outside about me being the only dark skinned girl.
“It didn’t really faze me much. I think it would be great to see more different races in there.”
Samira’s comments come after Angela Jain, ITV Studios Entertainment managing director, insisted the company’s duty of care is “always first and foremost for Islanders”, and admitted that while relationships will be “tested” on the series, ITV are “not a**eholes”.
She said: “The level of scrutiny we’re under has changed, it’s entirely normal to keep evolving those aftercare procedures – that in no way is going to impact on our editorial.
“That in no way is going to make us make the show differently.
“Our duty of care is always first and foremost for the Islanders. We’re not a**eholes. We really do care about the show and we really care about those Islanders. [The lie detector] – that’s one episode of 57 episodes. It’s not even a big element.”
Boxer Tyson Fury’s brother Tommy Fury, and ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ star AJ Pritchard’s brother Curtis Pritchard are among the contestants heading to the villa tonight (03.06.19).

Alex George opens up about Love Island ‘humiliation’

OHMYGOSSIP — Alex George felt “sick and ashamed” knowing his family would see his “humiliation” after no one coupled up with him on the first episode of last year’s ‘Love Island’.
The 29-year-old doctor admits he “couldn’t have been more wrong” about “how hard” the ITV2 dating show would be after taking part in the fourth series in 2018, and he was left mortified when none of the female Islanders initially picked him on the first day’s coupling up session.
He said: “If the contestants in the new series are expecting a relaxed summer of sun by the pool, they are in for a shock.
“From the moment my phone was taken off me as part of the pre-show preparations, I realised it was not going to be a walk in the park.
“There would be no speaking to friends or family or knowing what was happening in the outside world. Then came the dreaded entrance to the ‘Love Island’ villa, in which the men walk in, one by one, to a line of female contestants who are waiting, ready to step forward for you, or stay in line and reject you.
“My turn came and I stood there shaking as my worst fears were realised: no one stepped forward. I felt sick and ashamed knowing that very soon, millions of people would see my humiliation – including all my family, friends and colleagues.”
Alex, who has returned to his job as an A&E doctor following the show, admits the programme was “far from an easy ride” and when he did eventually couple up with someone, he felt “stress and anxiety” about other Islanders trying to steal his partner.
He added: “I had some of the best moments of my life: I made some great friends and there was lots of fun and laughter. But I also experienced some dark times.
“From learning to live with 10 or more strangers in one bedroom to the stress and anxiety of other contestants constantly trying to steal your partner, it’s far from an easy ride.”
Alex recently admitted he needed therapy after appearing on ‘Love Island’, and has now opened up about asking ITV for counselling sessions just after Christmas 2018.
In an opinion piece for the Guardian newspaper, he added: “Shortly after Christmas, I approached ITV and asked for counselling. The sessions it organised with a psychologist have helped me adapt to life after the show. But I did have to ask for counselling, and I worry not all contestants struggling with the after-effects of the show will necessarily feel comfortable doing so.
“So I’m really glad to see there are some changes being made this year, including post-show counselling sessions being offered to all contestants.”
While Alex found it tough in the villa, the show appears to have influenced the public’s travel plans after holiday bookings to Mallorca in June increased by an average of 154.2 per cent each year since ‘Love Island’ began airing back in 2015, according to lastminute.com.
‘Love Island’ returns tonight (03.06.19) at 9pm on ITV2.

Amanda Holden auditioned for Rocketman role

OHMYGOSSIP — Amanda Holden auditioned to play Sir Elton John’s mother in ‘Rocketman’.
The ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ judge has revealed she tried out for the part of Sheila in the new Dexter Fletcher directed biopic by submitting a recording of herself reading for the part in a brown wig.
Amanda’s audition was ultimately unsuccessful and the role eventually went to Bryce Dallas Howard in the film – which sees Taron Egerton portray the iconic musician.
Speaking on her first appearance on ‘Heart Breakfast with Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden’, she said: “I haven’t told anyone this so I’m just going to share it between the three of us now.
“I was right in the middle of doing something for QVC and I got a call from my people saying, ‘Listen, you need to quickly put yourself on tape to play Elton John’s mother in the new movie ‘Rocketman’. I was like, ‘You are kidding me?’
“So I got the script on my phone and Mikey my hairdresser pulled out a brown wig – obviously to put me in disguise and make me look like much more of an actress – and I shoved on this wig and put myself on tape and sent it Dexter Fletcher. How embarrassing is that?”
Although Amanda went for the part she knew she didn’t have a realistic chance of landing it once she found out ‘Jurassic World’ star Bryce, 38, was in the running.
She said: “There was no chance of me ever getting the part. Because who did it? Some huge American … Bryce Dallas … yeah you see? Amanda who?”
The all new ‘Heart Breakfast with Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden’ broadcasts on weekdays from 06:30 – 10:00 across the UK.

Justin Timberlake was eyed for Rocketman before Taron Egerton

OHMYGOSSIP — Justin Timberlake was eyed to play Sir Elton John in ‘Rocketman’.
Before Taron Egerton landed the role as the ‘I’m Still Standing’ hitmaker in the blockbuster biopic, the music legend’s husband David Furnish – who produced the movie – has revealed they talked about getting the ‘Cry Me A River’ hitmaker on board after he impressed them when he portrayed Elton in his 2001 music video for ‘This Train Don’t Stop There Anymore’.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, David said: “But we never formerly approached Justin because we weren’t ever at a stage where it was the right time to approach him.
“But he did an amazing job in the video. He put on a prosthetic nose, and it turned out to have been some really interesting acting work as well.”
Elton, 72, previously spoke of how he was very “moved” by Taron’s portrayal of him and admitted he was so “blown away” by seeing his story told on the big screen he couldn’t help but shed a few tears.
He said: “I never thought in my 73rd year that I’d be sitting here in Cannes with my own movie coming out; to be honest with you I was blown away. I cried the first time I saw it and I cried a lot this time.
“There are some very, very dark moments in the movie but the music lifts it out of the darkness and not only did he have to perform my life he had to sing my life and that’s a double whammy. When I look at him singing and when I look at him acting, I’m not looking at Taron Egerton, I’m looking at me and so that’s what moves me it’s like ‘This is me here.’ I’m very, very proud of this movie, I’m proud of my life, I’m proud of him [Taron].
“I knew Taron could sing and as soon as I met him I felt that there was something special there. When I heard him sing ‘Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me’ I was flabbergasted. I thought, ‘God this so difficult to sing, this is just as good as my version really.'”

Chazz Palminteri leads tributes to Godfather II’s Carmine Caridi

OHMYGOSSIP — Chazz Palminteri has led tributes to Carmine Caridi.
The ‘Godfather Part II’ star has died aged 85 after being hospitalised since April 25 when he suffered a nasty fall, and after nearly a month in hospital he caught pneumonia.
Caridi’s rep told TMZ he was diagnosed last Thursday (23.05.19) and while medics thought he was stable enough for release on Friday (24.05.19), his health began deteriorating again on Saturday (25.05.19).
He starred as Carmine Rosato in 1974’s ‘The Godfather Part II’, and Albert Volpe in 1990’s ‘The Godfather Part III’, and his pal, ‘Usual Suspects’ star Palminteri, praised him as a “warm and nice” guy.
The 67-year-old star told the publication: “Carmine was not only a great actor, he was a really great man. I liked him a lot. Always warm and nice, and I’m glad I got a chance to work with him finally at the end of his life.”
As well as being known for his films, which also included ‘The Gambler’, ‘Car Wash’ and ‘Ruby’, Caridi was the first person to be expelled from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 2004 for sharing screeners.
He said afterwards: “I sent [them] to people, besides my brother and sister, who couldn’t afford them. I made a lot of people happy.”
And while Palminteri hadn’t heard about the incident, he hopes Caridi will be re-instated.
When asked if he thinks Caridi should be allowed back, he said: “I never heard anything about that.
“I don’t know anything about that, but I think he should.”

Colin Thackery sails into the Britain’s Got Talent final

OHMYGOSSIP — Colin Thackery has made it into the ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ final.
The Chelsea Pensioner topped the public vote after performing a moving rendition of Vera Lynn’s hit song ‘We’ll Meet Again’, whilst comedian Kojo Anim – who was x’s Golden Buzzer act – was put through by the four judges, Simon, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams.
Asked for his reaction, Colin said: “Absolutely marvellous, I can’t believe it. I’ve got a military salute for it. It’s the biggest thing in my life … It’s starting to sink in.”
It was a choice for the judges between comedian John Archer and Kojo, with Simon, Amanda and Alesha all choosing to put Kojo through.
Colin’s performances are a tribute to his late wife Joan.
Speaking of her, he said recently: “I always have her picture in front of me, in my mind. And, of course, I talk to her every day, out loud. ‘Good morning’, ‘Good night’, I tell her what’s happening. And I imagine what she might say back. I have a word with her before I go on stage. I ask her to make sure I do it right. She was always telling me to hold my head up, and not to drop my voice at the end. We sang together publicly for the last time a month before she died, but we would always sing together around the house. I think singing must have helped her, with the pain.”
