La La Land wins big at BAFTAs

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘La La Land’ was the big winner at the 70th British Academy Film Awards.
The feel good movie musical triumphed at the annual awards ceremony – which took place on Sunday (12.02.17) at the Royal Albert Hall in London – scooping five awards including the Best Film prize.
Emma Stone also took home the Best Actress in a Leading Role award for her part as Mia whilst filmmaker Damien Chazelle won Best Director.
Producer Jordan Horowitz said: “I think film, when at its best, reveals there is more tying us together than tears us apart.”
In her acceptance speech for Best Actress, Emma spoke of the importance of “coming together” in a time where the world was so “divisive”.
She shared: “This country – and the US, and the world – seems to be going through a bit of a time, just a bit … In a time that’s so divisive I think it’s so special we were able to come together tonight thanks to BAFTA, to celebrate the positive gift of creativity and how it can transcend borders and how it can help people to feel a little less alone.”
Elsewhere, Casey Affleck picked up the gong for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his part in ‘Manchester By The Sea’ and Viola Davis’ emotional performances in ‘Fences’ opposite Denzel Washington secured her the Best Actress in a Supporting Role award.
Dev Patel led the way for the British stars in attendance at the event, taking home the Best Actor in a Supporting Role gong for his critically-acclaimed performance in ‘Lion’.
Speaking on stage, he said: “Oh my God this is so overwhelming, I sit at home and watch this with my family, who are here with me tonight, and it’s such an overwhelming feeling. I love you guys. This is a film about family and a love that transcends borders, race, colours, anything and you guys are my driving force …
“And to my amazing team, who had the insane task of trying to get this Indian dude, this noodle with wonky teeth and a lazy eye and floppy hair work in this really hard industry. To you guys, you’re my hero.”
Tom Holland came out on top in the vote for EE Rising Star whilst Mel Brooks took home the biggest prize of the night and was honoured with this year’s BAFTA fellowship, which was presented by BAFTA’s President Prince William.

Helen Flanagan used to live in hotel

OHMYGOSSIP — Helen Flanagan used to live in a hotel.
The ‘Coronation Street’ actress, her long-term partner Scott Sinclair and their 15-month-old daughter Matilda were forced to take up residence in a big establishment in Scotland for just under two months because they couldn’t find anywhere to live when they first moved up there.
Scott – who plays football for Celtic – said: “We were living in a hotel for the first month and a half.”
Helen added: “I loved the room service and the spa. I didn’t want to leave but Scott had enough of it. I suppose it’s a bit much living in a hotel all the time.”
Scott explained: “We were looking for a house but I wanted my own space which I couldn’t have living in a hotel.”
The couple – who have been together for over seven years – are now living apart while the 26-year-old actress films her scenes for ‘Coronation Street’ but, although it’s been tough being away from each other during the week, Helen thinks the separation is “healthy” every now and then.
She told OK! magazine: “I’m commuting between Glasgow and Bolton. But I try to get back to Scotland as often as I can because I want to see Scott and Scott wants to see Matilda…
“We’ve been together over seven years. We love spending time together but it’s nice for us to do our own things as well. I think it’s healthy to do that in a relationship.”
Scott added: “We’re not going to be apart for too long anyway.”

Danielle Lloyd pregnant with fourth child

OHMYGOSSIP — Danielle Lloyd is pregnant with her fourth child.
The 33-year-old model – who has three sons, Archie, six, Harry, five and George, three, with her ex-husband Jamie O’Hara – is expecting another baby with her fiancé Michael O’Neill and would “love a little girl” this time around.
A source told The Sun online: “This is really lovely news for Danielle and Michael.
“With three boys already, Danielle would love a little girl, but she and Michael will be happy either way.
“They kept it a secret when they first found out but Danielle has had her three-month scan and they feel comfortable enough to start letting people know.”
Danielle was recently forced to watch her ex embark on a steamy romance with Bianca Gascoigne in the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ abode and her friends think her pregnancy news is perfect timing to lift her spiritis and the boys are excited to have a new brother or sister.
The sourced added: “The baby is due around June, which is very exciting. And after all the anguish Danielle has been through in recent months — ever since Jamie went on CBB — it’s nice for her to be able to focus on the future.
“Archie, Harry and George are also excited about having a new brother or sister, and they can’t wait to meet their new sibling.”
However, Danielle – who was married to the soccer star from 2012 until 2014 – recently gave Jamie and Bianca her seal of approval to their burgeoning relationship.
She wrote on Twitter: “I really like @BiancaGascoigne haven’t got a bad word to say about her (sic)”.

Jeremy McConnell is 'happiest man alive' as he reveals he's the father

OHMYGOSSIP — Jeremy McConnell is “the happiest man alive” after discovering he’s the father of Stephanie Davis’ baby.
The 26-year-old hunk had a DNA test live on TV earlier this week to find out whether three-week-old Caben-Albi was his biological child and it seems the results have returned confirming he’s the dad and he’s over the moon.
Writing on Twitter, he captioned a sweet close-up photograph of Caben-Alibi: “I’ll love this monkey with every bit of me…
He added on Instagram: “Happiest man alive , my new focus.”
Jez previously said he’ll fight Stephanie for joint custody if her newborn turned out to be his and is adamant he won’t just fade into the background.
He said: “If I am the father of Stephanie’s baby then I 100 per cent want joint custody. I am serious about being a good dad if the child is mine.
“If I need to go through the courts to get access to my son then so be it – I will take the necessary action to make sure I am a part of my son’s life.”
The heavily-inked heartthrob – who currently resides in Dublin, Ireland – is also willing to fly to Liverpool, where Stephanie is based, “every weekend” because he wants to make sure that he has a strong relationship with the little one.
Jeremy and Stephanie began dating after they met in the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house in January last year but their relationship came to an end in April following a series of blazing rows on holiday.
However, they could be set for a reunion if reality TV bosses get their own way as the pair are reportedly “in talks” for an explosive return to the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house this summer.
A source said: “They aren’t on speaking terms at the moment but going back to where it all started for them in the Big Brother house may be exactly what they need to move forward – and viewers would love it.”

Keanu Reeves confirms Bill and Ted remake

OHMYGOSSIP — Keanu Reeves has revealed ‘Bill & Ted 2’ is in the works.
The 52-year-old star has confirmed that a sequel to the hit 1989 movie – which is based on two “totally excellent dudes” Bill Preston (Alex Winter) and Ted Logan (Reeves) – is underway.
Reeves appeared on ‘The Graham Norton Show’ to promote his latest film ‘John Wick: Chapter 2’ and when asked on the status of a new ‘Bill & Ted’ title, he replied: “Bill and Ted are still alive. The writers have a story and we’re trying to make it.”
In the original the pals travel through space and time as they conduct research for their high school history project but they end up re-writing the history books and are forced to fix everything in the hilarious caper movie.
And Reeves revealed the plot of the new film will see them as men living with pressures of family life and crumbling marriages, who are called upon to save the world again by writing a song.
He added: “Basically, they’re supposed to write a song to save the world and they haven’t done that.
“The pressure of having to save the world, their marriages are falling apart, their kids are kind of mad at them, and then someone comes from the future and tells them if they don’t write the song it’s just not the world, it’s the universe. So they have to save the universe because time is breaking apart.”
Meanwhile, Reeves would “love” to make ‘John Wick 3’ and reprise the role of the titular hitman once more.
He said: “I love the character and the world. Whether or not I get the chance to do another chapter is really up to the audience.
“If they enjoy what we did — and hopefully they do, fingers-crossed, I really dig it — but if they do enjoy it, then I’ll have the chance to continue the story of the character and the world.”

Tom Hiddleston says Kong: Skull Island cast communicated using GIFs

OHMYGOSSIP — The ‘Kong: Skull Island’ cast communicated with GIFs of their own movies.
The ensemble cast, which includes Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, John C. Reilly, Samuel L. Jackson and John Goodman, struck up a close bond working on the film and enjoyed laughing at themselves by sending out brief animated clips of their work to express their feelings on a situation.
Tom said to Empire magazine: “John C. Reilly has instructed me in the way of the GIF.
“It’s fun because you can take the p**s out of yourself. I’ve been sending people a particularly humiliating dancey one of me.
“And John recently, when he was disappointed by something, sent a gif of me from ‘The Deep Blue Sea’.
“I just said, ‘Where did you find that?’ He said, ‘I just googled “disappointed gif”.'”
Brie has been instrumental in bringing the cast together, organising events such as a ‘Brie-kend’, in which she arranged go-karting, laser tag and karaoke.
She said of their karaoke sessions: “Tom sang ‘Common People’. But I started off the whole thing by putting on an instrumental overture from the musical ‘Cats’.
“It really weirded everyone out when they came in and it was just cat noises.”
Brie had to leave the set a number of times during shooting as it coincided with awards season, when she received multiple nominations and wins for her role in ‘Room’.
But she was teased by her co-stars, who pretended to ignore her after her Best Actress triumph at the Oscars.
Tom laughed: “We played a game where we pretended to ignore her for the first five minutes.
“When she came into the make-up bus we were just telling stories and pretending nothing had happened.
“They we surprised her with a big celebration. We’re all very proud of Brie.”

Brooke Vincent thrilled by Helen Flanagan's Corrie return

OHMYGOSSIP — Brooke Vincent is thrilled her “big sister” Helen Flanagan has returned to ‘Coronation Street’.
The pair play siblings Sophie and Rosie Webster in the ITV soap and Brooke is delighted that Helen has decided to return to the cobbles after a four-year absence.
She told the Daily Mail’s Weekend magazine: “She’s like my big sister. We grew up together and I missed her, so it’s great to have her back. The chemistry between us is still there.”
Meanwhile, Brooke recently took a three-month break to go on tour with the play ‘Be My Baby’ but she is excited about being back on the soap.
She said: “I’ve done the same job since I was 11, so this strange environment feels normal to me. When the opportunity came up to go on tour with the play ‘Be My Baby’, which is set in the 60s, I thought it would be nice to do that, but also have the security to come back here.
“I really enjoyed doing theatre. You have to really concentrate -unlike in ‘Corrie’ there’s no opportunity for a second take if you mess up. I learned a lot. I’ve come back with a different mindset and it made me want to better my character here.
“I loved doing something different. This is an amazing job but I might be like a Peter Barlow and just try and dip in and out as and when.”
However, she admitted she sometimes gets frustrated with her storylines in ‘Coronation Street’.
She said: “I sometimes feel frustrated when they try to put Sophie with every other girl who’s lesbian,’ she explains. ‘There’s more to people than their sexuality so I’d prefer to do a storyline about my job or family. Thankfully our producer Kate Oates seems to get that.”

Amir Khan's wife for CBB?

OHMYGOSSIP — Amir Khan’s wife is in talks to star in ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.
Faryal Makhdoom Khan has revealed that she has been approached by the producers of the Channel 5 show but the wife of the 30-year-old professional boxer is unsure if she should say yes.
She wrote on Instagram: “Hey guys, I got asked to be on Celebrity Big Brother…
“It’s a very tricky one and idk if I can do it… I want my followers advice. On my last Instagram post, tell me whether I should or shouldn’t? I want you guys to pick… (sic).”
Fans were divided about whether or not she should take part.
One person wrote: “Isnt what you have always dreamed of? Being famous and getting attention. Dont forget that you are a wife but on top of all a mummy. BIG BROTHER IS NOT SUITED TO YOU (sic),” and another added: “You are from a respectful family, and they really degrade ppl sometimes on this show. So don’t go (sic).”
However, others urged her to go on the show and share her positivity. One fan said: “If you going on the show changes people’s attitude against u in a positive way and it shows people how positive muslims really are,you should definitely take the advantage and go on the show as long as it doesn’t bring negativity into anything and i hope u make the best decision but I think you should go on it just use it as a positive way to speak out to ur followers etc. Make it worth watching and go for it (sic)” and another simply added: “Definitely go for CBB!”
Faryal is sure to be an explosive contestant on the show as the star has been involved in a long-running feud with her in-laws, which she has documented on social media.
One Snapchat rant, believed to be aimed at her mother-in-law, said: “When you force your son to divorce his wife, when she’s 9 months pregnant! And your son doesn’t … and he sticks besides his wife. He’s called a p***y!?”
She is also believed to have taken aim at her sister-in-law Mariyah by saying: “What about when your sister-in-law come to hit you when your husbands not at home and still u don’t raise ur hand out of respect for ur husband! (sic).”

James Corden's Motown Records documentary

OHMYGOSSIP — James Corden is making a Motown Records documentary.
The ‘Late Late Show’ host has lined up stars including Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson and label founder Berry Gordy, to help him tell the story of the legendary record label for a new film made by production company Fulwell 73.
A source told The Sun: “The story of Motown Records is fascinating and will make an incredible documentary. The fact they have managed to get Berry Gordy on board is really impressive.
“He has turned down a lot of offers to make similar films in the past but has made an exception for this.
“It turns out he is a massive fan of James and regularly watches ‘The Late Late Show’.
“He sees James as an old school, all-round performer.
“Fulwell directors Gabe and Ben Turner have already been in Chicago filming with Berry and are trawling through his personal archive.
“Obviously, they’re doing everything they can to get the most famous living Motown artists involved too, such as Stevie Wonder and Diana Ross.
“It’s going to be a great watch.”
Meanwhile, James recently claimed he missed out on “massive film scripts” in the past because he was judged on his looks rather than his acting abilities.
He said: “When The History Boys became the hottest play in London, there were eight boys of a similar age, and they were all getting these massive film scripts.
“And I would get the one page of a script for a guy who drops off a television to Hugh Grant, or who works at a newsstand and sells a paper to Julianne Moore. And I was like, ‘None of this is based on ability or charisma. It’s only about how I look, and about the assumption that people who look like that don’t fall in love in as nice a way as others. People who look like that are not as interesting.'”

June Brown: 'I can't afford to quit EastEnders'

OHMYGOSSIP — June Brown can’t afford to quit ‘EastEnders’.
The 89-year-old actress – who plays Dot Branning in the long-running soap – admitted that she has no plans to leave the show because she doesn’t have enough savings.
She told The Sun: “I can’t afford to retire. I never had the money to start a pension – I didn’t start to make any real money until I was 58 – and now it’s not worth much.
“I’ve always been afraid of being poor when I’m old. It’s a dreadful thing to be strapped for cash when you are elderly. It’s awful when you’re young, too, but you always have hope.”
However, she has another reason for remaining in the show, as June admitted she would be bored if she quit working.
She said: “As long as I am capable of ¬working, and can learn lines and move around, I will carry on. I’d be utterly bored if I stopped.
“I don’t think I look nearly 90 but because I can’t see these days I don’t know.
“You don’t think about your age – you just knock it down.”
Meanwhile, despite her successful career, June has faced tragedy in her personal life and she opened up about the suicide of her husband John Garley in 1957, when he gassed himself at the flat they shared.
She said: “I walked into the bedroom and there was Johnny, lying on the bed, the gas fire propped up next to him.
I tried giving him ¬artificial respiration. Suicide was still a criminal offence in the late-Fifties. But after an hour, I realised I’d better call an ambulance. I’d got him breathing again but it was obvious he’d suffered severe brain damage.
“He lasted three days in hospital before dying on May 8. We’d been married seven years. I was 30.”

Dakota Johnson: I exploited myself on Instagram

OHMYGOSSIP — Dakota Johnson feels as though she “exploited” herself on Instagram.
The ‘Fifty Shades Darker’ actress used to be a prolific user of the photo-sharing site until she realised how “vulnerable” it made her feel, and she can’t understand why other celebrities are so willing to share intimate details of their lives in the public domain.
She said: “There I was and it was making me feel like I was being exploited – only by myself. I was literally exploiting myself.
“And I felt so raw and vulnerable and it was all my own fault.
“Which is why I don’t get that need to offer up information about myself to strangers.
“I couldn’t care less what models are doing on Instagram.
“I make movies because that’s my passion and people can interpret them as they please but anything else for me is way too much.”
Despite her fame, the 27-year-old beauty – who is the daughter of actors Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith – insisted she rarely gets recognised in public.
She told Glamour magazine: “I’m one of those people who walks around like an invisible person.
“People literally run into me and it’s always been that way.”
Dakota is currently single but “can’t tell” if guys are intimidated by her because of her role in the kinky movie franchise, though she insists she is anything but scary.
She added: “I still can’t tell [if I intimidate people]… I don’t think I’m a very intimidating person so I think anyone who took the time to talk to me would very quickly realise what I am. Just a goof.”

Mario Falcone's disastrous proposal

OHMYGOSSIP — Mario Falcone wouldn’t have proposed to Lucy Mecklenburgh if he wasn’t on ‘The Only Way is Essex’.
The 28-year-old hunk doesn’t regret getting down on one knee and popping the question to his then-girlfriend, whom he split from for good in 2013, but has admitted he only did it because he felt pressure from the show’s bosses at the time to create a juicy storyline for its viewers.
Speaking to Star magazine, he said: “I had a lot of pressure on me at the time to do a big engagement. Maybe I wouldn’t have done that if I wasn’t on the show.”
Despite being engaged to marry, Mario – who is the brother-in-law of Tom Fletcher – no longer speaks with Lucy out of respect for her boyfriend and his new lover Becky Miesner.
He explained: “I wouldn’t (talk to her) out of respect for her new boyfriend and for Becky. There’s no bad blood there. We have both moved on with out lives and I think we are both in better places.”
Mario turned his back on the show that made him famous two years ago after he was suspended for promoting slimming pills but he has hinted that there may be an opportunity soon that will see him return.
He said: “There may be a development on that front but I can’t actually say anything about it.”
But it’s not known if his partner Becky will make an appearance because she doesn’t like the limelight.
He added: “I love that Becky isn’t interested in the public eye. It’s nice to keep one thing to yourself that you really enjoy and cherish. She’s so grounded. The world I’m from doesn’t interest her. I can’t stand to think about upsetting her like I have with other girls in the past. In my eyes, she’s perfect.”

Jodie Whittaker plays catch on Broadchurch

OHMYGOSSIP — Jodie Whittaker plays catch on the set of ‘Broadchurch’.
The 34-year-old actress portrays bereaved mother Beth Latimer in the ITV drama series and tries to keep things light during breaks from filming in order to save her “intensity” for her scenes.
She said: “There’s lots of waiting so I always have a book. I’ve nearly finished the ‘Southern Reach’ trilogy by Jeff VanderMeer.
“Even though I’ve been playing Beth for three seasons, it’s still pretty dark. She’s lost her child in an awful way.
“There’s a field behind the Latimers’ house so I’ve brought a ball and make the crew play catch with me between shots.
“Filming can be quite emotional, so I like to keep moving and out of my head and save the intensity for the camera.”
Filming on the drama has been shrouded in secrecy and the cast are given their scripts as late as possible in order to minimise the chances of a leak.
Jodie explained: “We shoot two episodes in a block and we’re only given each script just before we film it. It’s someone’s job at the end of each day to check no one has left their script behind that might end up leaking a spoiler. I’ve [just] been given the scripts for the last two episodes, so I race back to the flat to read them.”
Jodie is thankful she doesn’t have to cope with the early starts when filming that her co-stars, Olivia Colman and David Tennant, have to do.
She told Glamour magazine: “I stay in a flat in Bristol when we’re filming.
“The show is set in Dorset but the house my character lives in is actually in Somerset.
“Luckily, I don’t have an early call time – Olivia and David do all the hard graft – so I have some time to myself in the morning.”

Nigel Havers is a 'personal counsellor' to Debbie McGee

OHMYGOSSIP — Nigel Havers has become Debbie McGee’s “personal counsellor” following the death if her husband Paul Daniels last year.
The 58-year-old performer was left devastated last March when the legendary magician lost his battle with a brain tumour at the age of 77 but she has admitted her grieving process has been made easier since meeting the 65-year-old actor, who also lost his wife Polly to cancer in 2004, while filming a new show called ‘Carry On Barging’ together.
Speaking on ‘Lorraine’ on Friday (10.02.17), she said: “He’d been through what I was going through so when the cameras stopped rolling he would say ‘are you OK? Do you want to sit and talk and have a cup of tea?’
“Then in quiet moments he would sit and chat to me and tell me how he got through it and how he moved on and carried on working and has met a lovely lady who he’s happily married to now. He said, ‘It will happen to you Debbie, at first you think nothing good can happen again but it does,’ and that was like having my own counsellor, on tap.”
And, although the blonde star thinks it’s too early to start meeting new people, Debbie has admitted she would like to find someone eventually because she needs “company” and a “variety” of people around her.
She explained: “You don’t always need your girlfriends, there are things you talk to chaps about that are different and you need a variety of company. The hardest thing is you don’t want to take the photographs down and you want to talk about the person you’ve lost.”
Although Debbie was very “independent” before she married Paul in 1988, she admitted going out on her own after his passing 11 months ago made her miss him even more because she had no one to talk to and felt like an “orphan.”
She said previously: “Before I married, I was independent and lived alone. But there is a difference between choosing to be alone and when it’s forced upon you.
“For the first few weeks, when I went out shopping I’d walk around feeling a bit like an orphan. When Paul was here if I went out I’d ring him or he’d ring me and say: ‘While you’re out could you get, whatever?’
“Or if he heard something on the radio, he’d call to say: ‘This is on the radio. Turn it on. You’ll enjoy it.’ ”

Danny Mac's Strictly tour triumph

OHMYGOSSIP — Danny Mac picked up the glitterball trophy for the 10th time on the ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ tour on Thursday (10.02.17).
The former ‘Hollyoaks’ actor and his professional partner Oti Mabuse wowed the crowd at The SSE Arena, Wembley in London with their sizzling samba and quirky Charleston, picking up enough votes to beat Louise Redknapp and Kevin Clifton into second place.
Danny insisted he would never be the dancer he is without the support of his professional partner.
He said: “I’ve had the most amazing teacher, choreographer, and friend, Oti Mabuse.”
And it wasn’t just the hunky star’s fancy footwork that saw judges Len Goodman, Craig Revel Horwood and Karen Hardy give him perfect scores.
Len quipped after his first dance: “I’ll tell you what puts a smile on my face Danny – your bum. You’re the hunk with the junk in your trunks.”
Ed Balls may have come at the bottom of the leaderboard with 39 points, largely due to Craig awarding him very poor scores, but he was a big hit with the SSE Arena audience, with his hilarious ‘Gangnam Style’ routine with Katya Jones earning the loudest cheers of the night.
And Ed was delighted to successfully carry off a lift in their American Smooth that he had spectacularly fumbled when he and Katya performed the same routine on TV.
Brushing off Craig’s criticism of their dance as “flat-footed and pedestrian”, he said: “When I was 10 I dreamed of playing Wembley and it’s fabulous to be here.
“That life we pulled off tonight – there is no way Craig could manage it in a million years – but that was thanks to the audience.
Elsewhere during the show, Danny and Oti tied at the top of the leaderboard with Ore Oduba – who won the show in December with Joanne Clifton – and his tour partner Karen Clifton, while Louise and Kevin scored 58 points.
Daisy Lowe and Aljaz Skorjanec picked up 55 points, while Lesley Joseph and Gorka Marquez were awarded a total of 51.
