OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Ken Dodd is battling a severe chest infection in hospital.
The 90-year-old comedian was taken by ambulance to a facility in Liverpool last Friday (12.01.18) when he struggled to breathe after being struck down with flu, and he’s remained there ever since.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Doddy’s a fighter but flu is very ­serious for a 90 year old.
“He was struggling last week and had trouble breathing so an ambulance was called and they’ve decided to keep him in until he’s well enough.”
Ken – whose beloved wife Anne, 76, has stayed by his bedside – is said to believe he picked up the illness at his Liverpool Echo Arena gig in December, which took place around the time Australian flu swept through the country.
A spokesperson for the legendary TV star, who was knighted last year for his comedy career and charity work, confirmed he is in hospital as a precautionary measure.
The representative said: “He’s had a chest infection and is receiving treatment for that. He’s expected to make a recovery.
“He went in for a check on Friday because with everything that has been going around and Ken’s age, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
“They are just keeping a close watch on him and making sure all is well.”
The celebrated performer became popular in the 1960s with his recording of ‘Tears’, which was the UK’s third-best-selling single back then, rivalling The Beatles.
He became an OBE in 1982, and is still seen touring the country with shows which are famous for going on well past the curtain call.
Talking about his passion for performing live, he previously said: “One of the happiest things is the joy and pleasure it brings to your family and friends and then you say to yourself it is a great honour and I just hope I’ll be worthy of it.”
And he has vowed to continue performing despite turning 90 in November.
He said: “I won’t hang up my tickling stick up, till I have to.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dermot O’Leary wanted to be an actor.
The ‘X Factor’ host has managed to carve out a highly successful career as a presenter but he has admitted he initially wanted to bag a role in a drama because he loved watching television.
Dermot – who is married to television producer Dee Koppang – told Hello! magazine: “We watch a lot of drama.
“I can’t get enough of it, and I love ‘The Crown’. I wanted to be an actor when I started out, and watching drama was like reading a book to me – you don’t want to wish your way through the best bits. I like to experience and saviour the moments.”
And, although they’re both busy with their own careers, the 44-year-old hunk and his wife – whom he married in 2012 – try to make time for each other by comparing their diaries.
He explained: “You muddle through. We’re not any different to any couple that both work, but we do go through our diaries together.”
Meanwhile, Dermot is happy presenting the singing show but has admitted he’d walk away with ease if he felt like it was becoming too samey because he likes how unpredictable it is every year.
He said recently: “No, because, if it was I wouldn’t do it, you never know what’s coming round the corner, that’s what I love about the gig, one auditionee is completely different to the next auditionee so the people you meeting on a daily basis are all the colours of the rainbow and you meet great people on the show.”
But he’d be thrilled if the show runs for another six year so it could celebrate its 20th anniversary.
He added: “That would be great, wouldn’t it! What a testament for the show is on air for 20 years.
“When I was on ‘Big Brother’ we couldn’t believe we were on air as long as we were, for the show to still resonate with the public and to average 8 million every week across 16 weeks, it’s a testament people are still talking about the show.”

“Also I’m a ladies man, I love the ladies, love chatting up the ladies, love getting involved and love getting stuck in. And also I would break the myth of all these eye candy and stuff like that, have you got a bit of that [tummy] and I think it’ll send a message to young people out there and everyone that watches it, you don’t have to be perfect.
“Your personality is enough. I think I’m the best person to come in because I’ll break the myth. You need someone like me. Personality, body, I got both – get me in, you know what to do.”
Heavy D has been on his fair share of reality shows including ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.

OHMYGOSSIP — David Yates has confirmed all five ‘Fantastic Beasts’ films will be set in different cities.
The second of five adventures penned by ‘Harry Potter’ author J.K. Rowling is set to hit screens next November and was revealed to be set in both Paris and London, but now filmmaker Yates revealed he knows the location for the third movie.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Yates said: “Yes. Jo’s already told us where the next one is taking place. It’s very exciting. This is a global story, ultimately. And given that there’s a global audience for this, it’s all the more delightful to take the story to different parts of the world.”
Following on from the end of the first film, the sequel – which is set in 1927 – sees the Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald [Johnny Depp] escaping from the Magical Congress of the United States of America (MACUSA).
Now the wizard is gathering followers to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings.
In order to stop him and his plans, a young Albus Dumbledore [Jude Law] enlists the help of Magizoologist Newt Scamander [Eddie Redmayne] who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead.
Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested even among friends and family.
The new film sees Redmayne and Depp reprising their respective roles alongside a number of other returning casts, including Katherine Waterston as Auror Tina Goldstein, Alison Sudol as Queenie and Dan Fogler as Jacob Fowalski.
Ezra Miller is back as Credence, Zoe Kravitz will take on the role of Leta Lestrange and Callum Turner will play Newt’s brother Theseus Scamander.
In December, the franchise’s official Twitter account revealed the sequel ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald’ has completed filming.
Alongside a video clip of the production, a caption read: “That’s a wrap on #FantasticBeasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald production! See you in 2018. #MagicInProgress #FantasticBeasts #WizardingWednesdays (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Marvel Studios have released a new image from behind the scenes of ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’.
The upcoming sequel will see Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly playing the two titular superheroes and although not much of the plot is known, the studios have released an image showing the two actors in their shrinking suits.
On Instagram, Marvel wrote: “Suit up for #AntManandWasp in theaters July 6! (sic)”
In August, Lilly logged on to Instagram to show herself in character and pay tribute to Jack Kirby, the comic book artist who jointly created Ant-Man and the Wasp.
Lilly’s accompanying caption read: “On set today, celebrating the artist who helped create this amazing character by bringing her to life! I am honored to be playing The Wasp on what would be Jack Kirby’s 100th birthday. All hail Jack Kirby and The Wasp! #ThankYouJackKirby #AntManAndTheWasp #bts ‘behindthescenes #onset (sic)”
Kirby along with Stan Lee and Larry Lieber created Janet van Dyne, the mother of her on-screen character and the original Wasp, and Hank Pimm – the original Ant-Man – with the mighty miniature hero first making an appearance in the pages of Marvel comic Tales to Astonish #27 in January 1962.
In ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’, Michelle Pfeiffer will portray Janet, the wife of Michael Douglas’ Hank Pym, in the upcoming sequel.
In the comic books, Janet was the original Wasp and a founding member of the Avengers, and continued as a superhero after her husband retired, but she eventually went missing in another dimension and was assumed to be dead.
The rest of the cast includes Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost, Walton Goggins as Sonny Burch, Randall Park as Agent Jimmy Woo and Laurence Fishburne as Dr. Bill Foster.

‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ is scheduled for release in July 2018.

OHMYGOSSIP — James Cameron admits his ‘Avatar’ sequels need to be successful due to the budget he has spent.
The Academy Award-winning director helmed the hugely successful original sci-fi movie in 2009, but ahead of the release of the second installment in 2020, James admitted that the success of the initial upcoming film will determine whether the scheduled fourth and fifth movies will reach cinema screens.
Speaking at the Television Critics Association, Cameron said: “I don’t think you advance storytelling, you know. I mean, I think storytelling is always about the basics. It’s about people. And I think that the lesson for me from the first film that I’ve applied to the new films is that the more fantastic the imagery, the more other-worldly, and the more you are pushing out to the edge of what’s possible in terms of bringing imaginative imagery to the screen, the more it has to be grounded in relationship and in truth and in heart. And so I’m hopefully doing that in spades with the new films. I’ve got an incredible cast … I’ve worked very hard to cast this, to find some new, young actors coming up that have incredible heart and that are just amazing. And, you know, it doesn’t matter how much you dress it up with great production design and great visual effects. If the story is not working, if you don’t connect to the characters, it’s just simply not going to work. Of course, we can’t afford for it not to work, the budget level that we are dealing with. But, of course, you always have to give yourself permission as an artist to fail no matter what the stakes are. You’ve got to try stuff. The least safe thing you can do is try to be safe.”
Last year the production was forced to announce it would not be completed in time for its previous release date of December 21, 2018.
And the ‘Titanic’ director has revealed he doesn’t expect to finish test stages until January 2018.
He said: “Now, we’re still working in our small test tank. We graduate to our big tank in January. There’s a tremendous amount of water work across ‘Avatar 2’ and 3. It’s ongoing into 4 and 5, but the emphasis is on 2 and 3.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Luca Guadagnino wants to make a “cycle of films” about the characters in ‘Call Me By Your Name’.
The 46-year-old Italian director helmed the hit coming-of-age movie starring Armie Hammer and Timothee Chalamet, and the film has been met with critical acclaim and Guadagnino already has ideas for a potential sequel.
Speaking to Collider, Guadagnino said: “I believe that I will end up making a cycle of films about these characters because I love them so much. And I think their experience of life is ripe for many, many adventures. I think the next chapter it will be happening right after the fall of the Berlin wall and that great shift that was the end of Russia, of the USSR. And we’ll see people leaving home and going in the world. That’s what I can say for now.”
‘Call Me By Your Name’ – which is based on the novel of the same name – follows the story of a young Italian man named Elio (Chalamet) who meets Oliver (Hammer) after he visits the country to stay at his parents’ villa.
The pair then develop a passionate relationship, as they bond over their shared Jewish heritage and their sexuality.

Guadagnino is also remaking the 1977 mystery/horror ‘Suspiria’ – which is set to star Chloe Grace Moretz and Tidla Swinton – and he said he was “shocked and blown away” by the original.
He said: “I wanted to make ‘Suspiria’ for 30 years. When I saw the movie in 1985 I was shocked and blown away by it.
“So I always wanted to do it. I don’t know, it’s very special to me.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Mary Elizabeth Winstead has joined the cast of ‘Gemini Man’.
The 33-year-old actress – who is best known for starring in ‘Scott Pilgrim vs the World’ – has joined Ang Lee’s action thriller as the female lead, The Hollywood Reporter claims.
The upcoming action thriller will see Will Smith play an ageing assassin who ends up getting involved in a fierce battle with his clone, who is 25 years younger than him with sharper skills.
Clive Owen has also joined the cast but his role hasn’t been revealed, though Variety report he could be the antagonist and Lee is directing the Paramount movie, which has been in the pipeline since 1997.
The original project, set up by Disney, was pitched by Darren Lake, with Don Murphy producing and Tony Scott directing. But it was put on hold for many years to allow the visual effects technology to catch up with the film concept.
The script has been tweaked along the way, and the idea of having two different actors play the assassin and the clone was scrapped, with Smith taking on both roles as developments in filmmaking will enable him to play both different ages and fight against himself.
Jerry Bruckheimer, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger are producing, with Murphy and Chad Oman serving as executive producers.
The film is slated for release in October 2019 and after numerous delays, it appears the movie is coming together with Owen and Winstead’s casting.
It is understood that Smith’s schedule will need to be worked as he is also is voicing The Genie in Disney’s live-action film ‘Aladdin’.
Plus he will be reprising his role as Deadshot in ‘Suicide Squad 2’ and is to reunite with Martin Lawrence for buddy cop sequel ‘Bad Boys 3’.

OHMYGOSSIP — Liam Neeson is still being bombarded with scripts for action roles even though he is 65.
The Irish actor become an action star in his 50s starting with his role as villain Ra’s al Ghul in Christopher Nolan’s ‘Batman Begins’ and then he was quickly catapulted to a major bankable box office star in 2008’s ‘Taken’ – in which he played a former government operative trying to reconnect with his daughter, a role he reprised in two sequels.
He can currently be seen in ‘The Commuter’ – marking his fourth collaboration with director Jaume Collet-Serra – but even he laughs when he gets scripts always portraying him as a man in his 50s.
Speaking to the Metro newspaper, Neeson said: “I am still being sent action scripts on which ’35 year old’ is scored out and ‘late 50s’ has been written in. I’m like, ‘Guys, I am sixty f**king five.’ ”
Recently, Neeson spoke at the Toronto International Film Festival to claim that cinema goers would soon stop to believe a man of his age would be able to pull off such death-defying feats, saying: “The thrillers, that was all a pure accident. They’re still throwing serious money at me to do that stuff … Audiences are eventually going to go, ‘Come on.’ ”
However, Neeson has now revealed that “it was a joke” but he is adamant he’ll know when “enough is enough” in the action genre.
The ‘Schindler’s List’ star said: “It was a joke but, of course, everyone picks up on that. I am aware of audiences looking at certain action stars and going, ‘Oh, come on.’ I know when enough is enough.”

OHMYGOSSIP — John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein are in negotiations to direct ‘Flashpoint’.
The ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ co-writers are said to have entered talks with Warner Bros. about taking on the role in the hotly-anticipated movie, which will see Ezra Miller star as superhero Flash.
According to Variety, the movie could go in more of a comedic direction should Daley and Goldstein be hired.
The filmmakers – who were also said to be considered as potential directors for ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’, which was eventually helmed by Jon Watts – directed 2015 comedy motion picture ‘Vacation’ and forthcoming film ‘Game Night’.
Ben Affleck is said to have turned down the chance to direct ‘Flashpoint’, which has been on hold since original helmer Rick Famuyiwa quit the project.
He is said to have left due to creative differences between himself and executives at Warner Bros.
Matthew Vaughn, Robert Zemeckis and Sam Raimi were recently talked about as potential frontrunners to direct ‘Flashpoint’, previously known as ‘The Flash’, about the super-fast superhero.
While looking for a new filmmaker, screenwriter Joby Harold was brought on board to do a page-one rewrite and has turned the script into a draft.
Miller made his first appearance as The Flash in a very brief cameo in 2016’s ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’, and he also starred as the character in supervillain film ‘Suicide Squad’ later that year.
He took on the role for a third time in ensemble movie ‘Justice League’ last November.
The 25-year-old actor recently wrapped filming on ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald’ – in which he plays Credence Barebone – ahead of its November 2018 release.

OHMYGOSSIP — Bruce Jones has slammed ‘Coronation Street’ for going “too far” with its dark storylines.
The 64-year-old actor starred as Les Battersby in the ITV soap until he was cut from the cast in 2007, but he has admitted he’s not too upset about not being part of the programme now as he believes it’s “too violent” and he can’t bear to watch anymore.
Speaking to the Sun Online, Bruce said: “The shootings and the stabbings went too far.
“The violence when I was there wasn’t as bad as that. I just don’t know why it’s gone that way. I can’t watch it anymore because it’s too violent. It’s terrible. People said to me I’m not watching anymore. They say to me ‘did you watch that s**t last night?’ They call it s**t and I went no, I watched some of it and turned it off. It’s not good complaining to me, I can’t do anything.”
The show has featured a number of serial killers and explosive storylines and while Bruce acknowledges that there has always been drama, it’s nothing to what it is like now.
He said: “That was violent but it wasn’t violent like the violence is in it now.
“I think ‘Coronation Street’ have set out to do what they’re doing, they’ve just gone with the way the world is which ‘Coronation Street’ nearly always has done.
“But just because the world’s gone violent, doesn’t mean the feel-good TV show has to go violent. ‘Coronation Street’s never been violent, it’s always had the comedy elements running through it – well that’s not there now. I said to my wife the other day I don’t know why people are pulling me and asking me ‘what’s happening to ‘Coronation Street’?’
“I don’t know what’s happening to ‘Coronation Street’ – I wish I did.”
Bruce did suggest that it may be because the soap now airs six-days a week and revealed people are preferring to watch other shows like ‘Emmerdale’.
He said: “It’s gone to six episodes again, it went back down to five at one point and now it’s gone back to six again and I think that’s to cover everything they’re doing especially with all of this violence that’s going on. People really rant, I’m not joking you, they are mad. They’re really mad. People come up to me in the street – ‘we’re not watching that s**t, we’d rather watch ‘Emmerdale’. It’s really sad that it’s got to where it’s got to now at this moment at time, I don’t understand it.
“My heart goes out to it, I love ‘Coronation Street’, I love it more than anything in the world but I’m glad I’m not in it now with all the violence in it – I’d probably get killed.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Courtney Green’s dog has gone blind.
The ‘Only Way is Essex’ star has appealed for help because her pet pooch Lily has just lost her sight – although she didn’t explain why or how – and she doesn’t know how she can adapt her home to suit her four-legged friend’s new condition.
Taking to her Twitter account on Wednesday (17.01.18), she said: “Does anyone know what I can get to help my dog lily who’s now gone blind ? (sic)”
It’s not been a great time for Courtney recently as she’s probably wondering whether her part on the ITVBe show is still available after it was rumoured that seven people from the cast were getting the axe in a bid to spice up the series later this year.
A spokesperson for the show said: “There are a number of cast who have mutually agreed their time on the show has come to a natural end for now.
“We wish them well and look forward to another exciting year ahead for ‘TOWIE’.”
Amber Dowding and boyfriend Chris Clark, Mike Hassini, Jack Rigden, Jordan Brook, Maddie Hooper and Ruby Lacey are among those who have been given the boot.
A source said recently “‘TOWIE’ is like a revolving door and producers are always on the lookout for new faces that can keep the show fresh.
“Chris and Amber have left the series as a couple who’ve just moved into an apartment together – and often being in a happy relationship doesn’t work for the show.
“Mike is also loved-up with a girlfriend off camera and has no real storylines to bring to the show but will continue to focus on his fitness and personal training.
“Producers thought Jack and Jordan were really funny and had great potential but they were lost against the bigger characters and unfortunately didn’t make the final cut.
“Maddie and Ruby only appeared in a few episodes last series and failed to resonate with viewers.”
The Essex-based reality show is undergoing a big shake-up in 2018, going from two episodes a week to just one. But as a result, series will run for more weeks of the year.

OHMYGOSSIP — Vicky Pattison hopes her fitness journey can inspire other people to get healthy.
The former ‘Geordie Shore’ star’s new programme ‘Ex On The Beach: Body SOS’ – which starts tonight (17.01.18) at 8pm on MTV – will see her “impart [her] wisdom” on 16 contestants as she aims to help them become confident with their own bodies.
Speaking to ‘This Morning’ hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield on Wednesday (17.01.18), she said: “I wanted to impart my wisdom, some of the things I’ve learnt along the way, to other people in similar positions who are unhappy with what they see in the mirror.”
Although she was lighthearted as she opened up about bikini pictures in the press that she saw as less than flattering, Vicky candidly admitted it has taken her a while to become comfortable with herself.
She added: “It’s taken [me] a long time to joke… I took positive steps to change my body, change my outlook and ultimately change my life.
“It’s been a real journey for me, but it’s also been such a positive experience.”
Last summer, Vicky revealed how she is “standing up” to her trolls and won’t let them body shame her.
She said: “I don’t want to be silenced. I’m not ashamed of my body and I won’t let anyone make me feel ashamed of my imperfections. They make me who I am, they make me unique. Nobody is perfect.
“What even is perfect? If I have to stand up to every troll who criticises me weight or my shape, I will! I’m not just doing this for me, I’m doing it for every woman. I want them to know that whether they’ve got long legs, short legs, an enormous bum – whatever it is they’re gorgeous and beautiful and they deserve to look sexy every single day.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Charlotte Crosby is getting the tattoos her ex-boyfriend Stephen Bear etched on her removed.
The former ‘Geordie Shore’ star has decided to have the half bear-half cheetah – which he carved into her as a tribute to himself because she got with him while in a relationship with someone else – on her back lasered off, as well as the basic fish her drew on her wrist, because she wants nothing more to do with the hunk following their messy split last year.
A source told The Sun Online: “Charlotte is erasing the tattoos she had while she was with Stephen. Having them lasered off is like her closing a door on that chapter of her life. It’s really positive for her. She’s having the fish design, which he gave her on Just Tattoo Of Us, removed and the awful cheetah one she hates. Bear gave her that tattoo because he said she cheated on her ex Ash Harrison with him. It’s vile and she wants it gone forever. This year is all about Charlotte and she’s determined to leave bad news Bear behind her for good!”
And the 27-year-old beauty has seemingly already set the ball rolling as she was spotted leaving a tattoo parlour in South Shields – near Newcastle – covered in bandages recently.
And it’s not just the tattoos Bear gave her when they were hosting ‘Just Tattoo of Us’ together in 2016 that she wants taken off her body, as she has also decided to get the inking she had dedicated to her ex-boyfriend Mitch Jenkins lasered off the back of her arm.
Her determination to erase Bear, 28, from her life comes shortly after he begged her to get with him after he took responsibility for the demise of their 11-month relationship.
He wrote: “Dear Charlotte , I really messed up , if I can rewind the clock back maybe I wouldn’t of done the things I did and say. Life’s about making mistakes . I’ve just been really sad recently and I need to get it off my chest . I no being with me isn’t easy and I will probably send you insane in the end and I really do care and still love you . It might be too late but all I can do is try. The New Years coming up and I would love to spend the rest of my life with you.(sic)”
But he later told his followers she had shunned his attempts to get back together.
