Gorka Márquez thought jaw was broken

OHMYGOSSIP — Gorka Márquez was convinced he’d broken his jaw after he heard an “almighty crack” when he was randomly attacked by a group of yobs in Blackpool over the weekend.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professional feared he’d snapped the structure of his mouth after he was punched in the face repeatedly by a gang while out in the seaside resort with his co-stars Aljaz Skorjanec and Neil Jones after the show wrapped up.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “He thought it was his jaw breaking. The sound was horrific. Thankfully it was just two of his teeth – which can be fixed.
“He took some painkillers and went back to the hotel and to bed. It never crossed his mind to make a formal complaint. He is surprised the level of attention it has got.”
The 26-year-old hunk was making his way to Flamingo nightclub in the town on Saturday (19.11.16) when he was pounced on and had two gnashers knocked out.
Gorka has since taken to his Twitter account to give fans an update on his condition and thank them for the support they’ve showered him with since the news broke.
He wrote: “Thanks for all your kind messages about Blackpool. It was a bad experience but I’m feeling better and just want to look forward to the show on Saturday!”
The handsome dancer and his partner Tameka Empson were eliminated from the competition just three weeks in, but he has continued to make appearances every week in the group performance and even trained and danced with Anastacia a few weeks ago when her partner Brendan Cole was struck down with a chest infection.
Gorka joined the remaining contestants in the seaside resort over the weekend for the show’s Blackpool Tower special and partnered fellow professional Janette Manrara in a routine to Rick Astley’s seminal 1987 hit ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’.
Despite being battered by a group of yobs over the weekend, Gorka is expected to rejoin the group this week for training ahead of the show in London this weekend.
A representative said: “Gorka was sadly the victim of an unprovoked incident in Blackpool on Saturday night but he will be back in training this week and is looking forward to the group routine next weekend.”
It’s also believed he will partner Frankie Bridge – who came runner-up in 2014 – for the forthcoming ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ Christmas special.

OHMYGOSSIP — Props featured in the ‘Twilight Saga’ films have raised more than £615,000 at auction.
The Prop Store in Los Angeles put up a total of 874 items from the vampire love story series – which starred Kristen Stewart as Bella Swann, Robert Pattinson as handsome blood-sucker Edward Cullen and Taylor Lautner as his werewolf rival Jacob Black – up for sale as part of a two-day auction held at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood last weekend.
Among the items sold were Bella and Edward’s chess set, which fetched £10,700, Bella’s meadow costume which sold for £6,820, a Cullen House graduation cap display which banked £8,275 and Edward’s journal which somebody paid £6,330 for.
The most popular lot was the engagement ring worn by Kristen for her role as Bella in the franchise.
In the plot it was a band that belonged to Edward’s mother’s and the ring he used to propose to Bella.
The ring is made from 14 karat gold with a rhodium finish and holds a 69 cubic zirconia – a diamond replacement – within an oval pave.
The unique piece was valued at £4,000 but it eventually sold for over £13,000 when it went under the hammer.
The engagement ring is “set up in a satin black ring box with black plastic beads decorating the border along with a Prop Store Certificate of Authenticity.”
Speaking about the auction, Brandon Alinger, representing The Prop Store, said:
The final total of the sale was £615,412 and Brandon Alinger, representing The Prop Store, was not surprised the auction did so well.
Alinger said: “As far as I’m aware no authentic Twilight material has ever been sold in the past. Really, it’s all been in storage since the studio stopped production when the last film came out about four years ago.”
The ‘Twilight Saga’ films are based on the novels by Stephenie Meyer. They became a global success following the release of the first movie in 2008. A further four movies followed; ‘New Moon’, ‘Eclipse’, ‘Breaking Dawn – Part 1’ and ‘Breaking Dawn – Part 2’.
The whole series netted more than £2.43 billion at the global box office.

Amber Heard hit with $10m lawsuit over London Fields film

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Amber Heard has had a $10 million lawsuit filed against her by the producers of her film ‘London Fields’.
The 30-year-old actress – who starred in the crime/thriller drama film as Nicola Six, a promiscuous physic – is facing legal action for allegedly breaching “performance and promotional obligations”.
Over a year ago, ‘London Fields’ debuted at the Toronto Film Festival and tongues were sent wagging by the no-show of many of the movie’s stars.
The movie was then mired in legal action as director Mathew Cullen sued Christopher Hanley’s Nicola Six Limited company for fraud, claiming producers hijacked the final cut of the movie changing it from his vision.
However, Hanley hit back with counterclaims accusing Cullen of failing to deliver the film – based on British writer Martin Amis’ novel of the same name – on budget and on time.
On Monday (21.11.16), the new lawsuit was filed against Heard at Los Angeles Superior Court accusing the blonde star of not fulfilling her contracted duties either on set or on the promotional tour and of conspiring with Cullen to violate his contractual agreements.
The filed paperwork states: “While the inherent tension between actors and directors (on the one hand) and producers (on the other) is nothing new in Hollywood, the unauthorised and unlawful acts of Heard, Cullen, and others – most notably, their campaign to damage Plaintiff, the Picture, and the Picture’s investors – are perhaps unprecedented. Indeed, as a result of their misconduct, which continues to this day, the very promising Picture remains in limbo, hijacked and placed under a cloud by Heard, Cullen, and others.”
The lawsuit also states that after the movie had been submitted to the Sundance Film Festival in 2014, Heard – whose ex-husband Johnny Depp also appears in the film – got into an argument with Nicola Six Limited over the use of nude scenes in the final cut.
The papers state: “In an effort to intimidate Nicola Six, Heard falsely claimed to Nicola Six that she had not contractually agreed to allow the use of nudity in the Picture. Heard also falsely claimed that she had not granted Nicola Six the right to the results and proceeds of her acting services in the Picture.
“As a result of Heard’s refusal to comply with her contractual obligations – including her improper refusal to act in provocative scenes contained in the pre-approved script – key scenes in the script had to be removed and/or rewritten to accommodate Heard’s behaviour.”
The lawsuit also claims that Heard refused to participate in dialogue replacement and then in mid-2015 she along with her castmates Depp and Billy Bob Thornton allegedly forwarded their correspondence with Hanley to Amis a violation of her agreement not to disclose confidential information about the project.
Hanley and the other producers are seeking a minimum of $10 million in compensatory damages.

OHMYGOSSIP — Ore Oduba’s wife keeps him “grounded”.
The sports presenter has gushed about his spouse, Portia – who he married a year ago at a lavish ceremony in Kent – and how he wouldn’t be able to get through his time on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ without her as she has been helping him with every aspect from the choreography to nursing any injuries.
He said: “It’s easy for this show [‘Strictly’] to become like a runaway train. Portia being so supportive has made it all possible.
“She keeps me grounded. She’s my choreographer, stylist, physiotherapist as well as wife.”
Portia has been amazed by Ore’s impressive routines on the BBC One ballroom and latin show with his professional dance partner Joanne Clifton, but admitted despite his offer she didn’t allow him to lift her up for their first dance at their wedding reception.
Of their wedding dance, she told HELLO! magazine: “Everyone says, ‘Your wedding dance must have been amazing.’ But it was just a little dance.
“Ore whispered, ‘Shall I lift you up?’ I said ‘No’ while smiling through my teeth.
“Now I see him lifting Jo up and spinning her around.”
The 31-year-old star has also admitted that he always knew Portia was “the one” and that they talked about having children months after they met.
He said: “From the first two months, we talked about wanting children.
“The way we are with each other hasn’t dipped or changed.
“I know It will always be fine when Portia is here.”
Meanwhile, Ore will be taking a break from his rehearsals on Thursday (24.11.16) to step in for Phillip Schofield on ITV’s ‘This Morning’ alongside Holly Willoughby.
A source said: “He has agreed with BBC bosses to take some time out from rehearsals to do the show. Everyone is really excited.”
Ore is thrilled to have been chosen as Phillip’s replacement as he considers the award-winning programme to be “one of TV’s crown jewels”.
He said: “I’m really excited to be hosting ‘This Morning’ with Holly.
I’ve watched and loved the show for years. For me, it’s one of TV’s crown jewels.
“I can’t wait to meet the team and huge thanks to Phillip for allowing me to hop into his seat for the day.”

Danny Baker's wife shoots down 'bully' claims

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Danny Baker’s wife has insisted he is not a “bully” after he left Martin Roberts in tears on ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’.
The radio DJ’s other half, Wendy, has shot to his defence after the ‘Homes Under the Hammer’ presenter’s co-host Lucy Alexander claimed Danny had acted in a “bully-like” manner during an argument which led to the TV presenter crying.
Wendy told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “I’ve been married to him for 35 years and he’s never come across as a bully.
“Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, it doesn’t affect anything really.”
Her comments come after Lucy, 45, had tweeted: “There was no need for that bully-like telling off from Danny Baker! Who voted him form captain! Martin would never be unkind. #ImACeleb (sic)”
She was referring to Danny hitting out at Martin while insisting he should do whatever camp president Scarlett Moffatt said after the ‘Gogglebox’ star claimed he had been ignoring him.
The former ‘Win, Lose or Draw’ host blasted: “Martin, she’s the president mate, whatever she says to do, you do it … you always answer her back like she’s some silly kid and she isn’t.”
Martin insisted he hadn’t acted in such a way, but Danny continued: “Yes you do, every single time mate. She’s smart as a whip, she shouldn’t need me to step in but you do it too often.”
Scarlett also insisted Martin hadn’t been taking on her instructions, before adding: “Then as soon as one of the guys asks you, you do it.”
Martin later broke down in tears and was comforted by his campmates, but the pair – who also clashed earlier in the series – have since made up and were even laughing and joking with one another on last night’s (21.11.16) episode.

Zoe Kravitz confirmed for second Fantastic Beasts

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Zoe Kravitz has a bigger part in the second instalment of ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’.
The 27-year-old actress plays Leta Lestrange, a witch who has a “close relationship” with lead character Newt Scamander, in the ‘Harry Potter’ spin-off and only had a minor role in the first movie of the five-part series.
However, the film’s director David Yates says we will see “a bit more” of the “confused” girl, who has a “power” over Newt Scamander [Eddie Redmayne] as he is still “in love” with her.
Asked if Zoe will return in the second movie, David told CinemaBlend: “Yes. Leta Lestrange [Zoe] comes into the second movie.
“She’s quite complicated and damaged and confused, and Newt is absolutely still in love with her.
“So, she has a kind of power over him, and she, yeah, she’s a kind of tragic figure, so we will see a bit more of her in the second movie.”
It’s also confirmed that Eddie, Katherine Waterston, Alison Sudol, Dan Fogler and Ezra Miller will return for the second sequel.
And Johnny Depp has an important role as dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald.
Professor Albus Dumbledore will also appear in the series.
A younger version of the late Hogwarts headmaster – who was originally portrayed in the ‘Harry Potter’ series by the late Richard Harris, before Sir Michael Gambon took over following the actor’s death from cancer – is currently being sought for the second film in the series, which is set in 1920s New York City.
David previously revealed: “In the second movie Dumbledore comes back. He’s got a couple of good scenes with Newt… We’re discussing who would play Dumbledore, any suggestions would be good.”
The details of the second in the planned five-part series – which is scheduled for release in 2018 – have not been released, but it is known that it “moves deeper into an increasingly dark time for the wizarding world.”
‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2’ is slated for release on November 16, 2018.

Stephanie Davis: I'm 'done' with men

OHMYGOSSIP — Stephanie Davis is “done” with men.
The former ‘Hollyoaks’ actress insists she isn’t focused on a relationship right now and is using all her energy getting ready for the arrival of her baby boy.
She said: “I’m not interested in meeting a man. My mum thinks someone will come into my life once the baby’s born, but I’m not bothered. I’m done with men for now!”
The 23-year-old star was rushed to hospital recently with complaints of severe stomach pain and she admits she was “hysterical” thinking something was wrong with her child.
She added: “I was hysterical thinking something was wrong. I didn’t know if I was going to lose the baby or if he was okay. They think it might be colitis [inflammation of the colon], so I’m having more tests and a colonoscopy done soon. Hopefully that will give some clues.”
And Stephanie is so excited about her baby boy’s arrival as she feels like she’s “had the longest pregnancy in the world”.
She told the new issue of OK! magazine: “I can’t wait to hold him in my arms now. I feel like I’ve had the longest pregnancy in the world but I’m on the home stretch now.”
Meanwhile, Stephanie previously recounted her hospital visit and admitted her pain was so bad that she started vomiting.
She said: “I ended up going to hospital and I’m still waiting for some results. They couldn’t give me too many drugs because I’m pregnant … They took me straight up to the delivery ward because the blood was coming out and the pain was that bad I was vomiting, everything was pushing down there so water came out.
“My blood pressure went really really low and then my white blood count was really high. Everything was showing that something was wrong. They think I’ve got Colitis which flares up every now and then but they’re not sure yet, they’re waiting on other results. I’m booked in to have a camera up that way.”

Marnie Simpson tearfully begs to leave Geordie Shore

OHMYGOSSIP — Marnie Simpson begged to leave ‘Geordie Shore’ after a drink was thrown at her in a Newcastle club.
The 24-year-old reality star looked visibly shaken as she was photographed sitting outside the venue barefoot and in tears.
Onlookers saw her being consoled by a member of the show’s team and heard her telling him she didn’t want to return to the ‘Geordie Shore’ house.
According to witnesses, she shouted: “I’m 25 years of age, I’m going home! You’re not looking out for us though making me go back to that f***ing house.”
Marnie was partying in the VIP section at The Riverside nightclub with her fellow cast members but revellers didn’t take too well to their presence, with some shouting “who the f*****g hell are you”.
A clubgoer told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “They came into the club like they normally would and were sat in the VIP area. Then the club music system failed and the crowd turned on Geordie Shore just as it looked like the cameramen were setting up an argument to happen.
“They came over to the balcony while the crowd were chanting and they were making gestures at the crowd. They were waving money around and pretending to throw money into the crowd.
“At first it was just a bit of craic but then people were trying to push to where they were. The next minute someone threw a drink at Marnie and then the bouncers took them out through a fire escape.
“It was just the crowd teasing them to see how they would react. To be honest the night got better after they left. Their presence made a difference because it detracted from the usual night. I think it lifted the crowd when they got them out.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Strictly Come Dancing’s Gorka Márquez is “feeling better” after being attacked in Blackpool.
The 26-year-old professional dancer has taken to Twitter to thank the show’s fans for being so supportive after it had emerged he had two teeth knocked out by a group of yobs on Saturday (19.11.16) in an “unprovoked and random” attack whilst out with his co-stars Aljaz Skorjanec and Neil Jones.
He shared on the microblogging site: “Thanks for all your kind messages about Blackpool. It was a bad experience but I’m feeling better and just want to look forward to the show on Saturday!”
It was previously revealed that Gorka was left “shaken” by the “shocking” incident.
A source shared: “Gorka and a few of the other dancers were heading to a nightclub to let their hair down after another brilliant show. All of a sudden this group of local louts came out of nowhere. One of them punched Gorka in the face and broke two of his teeth. Gorka was sober, he doesn’t drink.
“This was an entirely random and shocking attack on a group of friends simply trying to enjoy a night out. He wasn’t angry, he was just more shaken by the event. They went straight back to the hotel to see if he needed urgent medical care before going back to London for dental surgery.”
Gorka is expected to return to training this week ready for the show next weekend.
A representative said: “Gorka was sadly the victim of an unprovoked incident in Blackpool on Saturday night but he will be back in training this week and is looking forward to the group routine next weekend.”

Ben Cohen's baby daughter is 'spitting image' of him

OHMYGOSSIP — Ben Cohen’s baby daughter is the “spitting image” of him.
Kristina Rihanoff can’t help but giggle when she sits Milena next to her hunky partner because the similarities between their appearance and mannerisms are uncanny.
She said: “She’s [Milena] the absolute spitting image of Ben which always makes me laugh because when you sit them together they really do look like two peas in a pod.”
The former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professional has always wanted to become a mother but didn’t realise having the little one four months ago would change her life quite as much as it has because Milena has become her number one priority now.
Speaking to the Express.co.uk, she said: “I always knew that I wanted to be a mum one day but my career as a dancer was so all-encompassing that I could never be sure when and if it would actually happen.
“Having Milena, or Mila as we call her, has changed my life completely and I cannot imagine ever loving anyone more. Of course parenthood is quite an adjustment and you do have to make sacrifices but being a mother has brought me so much joy and so far we have been very lucky because Mila is such an easy, smiley baby.”
The couple – who met on the dancing show in 2013 – may be busy with work and their daughter but they still try to go do date nights to ensure they have time for themselves.
Ben said recently: “I asked her the other day if she wants to go dancing together and she just completely ignored me. I was like, ‘Oh OK, I’ll just go to the gym.’ ”
Kristina, 39, added: “Date nights are important when you have a little baby. She’s amazing, she’s really really good.”

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt to return to Celebrity Big Brother

OHMYGOSSIP — Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have reportedly signed up for ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.
The reality TV stars – who got married in 2009 – have reportedly taken pen to paper and scribbled a six-figure deal to take part in the forthcoming ‘Gold Stars vs All Stars’.
A source said: “Spencer and Heidi are very competitive and they got so close to winning last time that they’re hell bent on coming out on top this time around.”
It’s believed Heidi and Spencer were at the top of bosses’ lists for the spin-off, which kicks off in January and will see old housemates take on new contestants, as they know they’ll struggle to hold their tongues when put against other strong characters, because they proved such a hit with viewers when they took part in the series in 2013.
The insider told Daily Star newspaper: “Last time they were not sure what to expect, but they’ve become big fans of the show since their stint in the house. And they’re sure they’ve devised the secret strategy that will see them win it. They will be even sneakier and more manipulative than last time, and won’t hesitate to throw anyone under the bus.”
The full line up for the spin-off is yet to be announced but James Jordan – who wasn’t afraid to let loose with his acid tongue in 2014 – and Jasmine Lennard, who appeared on the show in 2012, have also been in talks with bosses about starring in the special.
A source said recently: “Channel 5 approached James with a six figure deal.
“The producers loved how feisty he was when he appeared on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ in 2014 and they know he won’t hold back. Bringing in big personalities like James and Jasmine makes great TV and there could be a clash between the two of them.”

Candice Brown told to quit teaching by head teacher

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Candice Brown has been told to quit teaching by her school’s head teacher.
The 31-year-old PE teacher returned to teach pupils at Ashlyns School in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, immediately after winning the ‘Great British Bake Off’ over the summer, but was advised to leave by the authoritative figure to focus solely on a career in baking where she can give “100 per cent” to one job.
Speaking to the Mirror Online about her departure, the red-haired beauty said: “I have been teaching for about eight years now and I love it. But since winning the final, I have also been completely bowled over by the amazing opportunities that I have been offered.
“My headteacher told me: ‘You’ve got to do this, you can’t do it half-heartedly. I wouldn’t forgive myself if you missed out. It’s not that we don’t want you here but you have to give it 100 per cent. If we can’t encourage our staff to follow their dreams and inspire, then we are not doing our job properly. You are showing the kids that anything is possible.’ It was so incredibly lovely of him to say this.
“At first, I kept telling the school I would stay until December but they were so incredible and told me I had to grab everything whilst I could.
“I can’t thank the school enough, especially my head of department, Elly, who has been amazing, and I feel so grateful for the fact they have been so supportive. I keep thanking them all the time! It’s such a great new chapter for me.
“If it hadn’t been for the school being so supportive at the beginning and letting me go and film ‘Bake Off’, I wouldn’t be here now.”
And Candice – who was known for experimenting with a variety of lipstick colours whilst on the baking show – has admitted giving up her role as a teacher was an “agonising” decision to make.
She explained: “This has been such an agonising decision to make. Never in a million years did I ever go into the show thinking this would happen. That is why I have been back at school teaching since I won the final.”
Candice has revealed she will miss her students “so much”, although they often quizzed her on why she returned to teaching after winning the show.
She said: “I will miss them so much. I work in special needs and you are fighting the children’s corner so much. But I have had long conversations with my parents and my boyfriend, Liam, and I know it is the right decision. Leaving on Friday was emotional but I am excited about the future now, scared, too, and I am a bit of a worrier… but I cannot thank everybody enough for giving me this amazing opportunity and for my school letting me grab it with both hands and running with it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — David Heyman is to produce ‘Warriors’.
The ‘Harry Potter’ producer has signed up for the forthcoming live-action film, which will be based on the novel series of the same name created by authors Kate Cary, Cherith Baldry, Tui Sutherland, and developed by editor Victoria Holmes.
According to Variety, Heyman will produce the movie for China’s Alibaba Pictures Group following an announcement on Sunday (20.11.16) at the British Embassy in Beijing.
He said: “Alibaba represents quality and the best values. When I first came to China a few years ago, I sought them out.
“What we discovered is that Alibaba is interested in telling stories that are universally relatable.
“‘Warriors’ is such a perfect Chinese-British project. The values (in the books) are British. But they are also Chinese … There’s more that unites us than divides us.”
The novels are written under the pseudonym Erin Hunter and tell the story of the adventures of four wild cats, ThunderClan, ShadowClan, WindClan, and RiverClan.
The first book in series, ‘Warriors’, which was later re-named ‘Warriors: The Prophecies Begin’, was released in 2003.

OHMYGOSSIP — The Walking Dead’s showrunner wants William Shatner to star in a big screen adaptation of the series.
Scott Gimple is keen to see a movie version of the popular horror TV show – which is based on the comic book series of the same name by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard – made at some stage, and has eyed the ‘Star Trek’ actor to portray lead character Rick Grimes.
He joked: “William Shatner as Rick. We’ll get Edward James Olmos as Daryl. Hit all the big shows. Matthew Fox as the Governor!”
While the TV series is still in full swing, Scott thinks it is inevitable the show will feature on the big screen one day.
He added to ComicBook.com: “That question comes up every now and again,” Gimple said. “I’m sure one way or another, one day, it’ll happen. I think it would be cool.”
The show is in its seventh series with another on the way in 2017.
It first told the story of Rick – played by Andrew Lincoln – who awoke from a coma to discover the world has been overrun by zombies, or “walkers” as they are known in the programme.
Other stars in the TV series include Chandler Riggs as Rick’s son Carl Grimes, Norman Reedus is primary hunter Daryl Dixon, and David Morrissey was The Governor.

Ryan Lawrie thinks Honey G is fake

OHMYGOSSIP — Ryan Lawrie thinks Honey G has a “split personality.”
The 20-year-old ‘X Factor’ contestant – who was given the boot from the competition in Sunday (20.11.16) night’s episode after losing the sing off against the rapper – is convinced his former rival has a game plan and has adopted a secret street alter ego.
Speaking on ‘This Morning’ on Monday (21.11.16), he said: “I feel like she’s a Keith Lemon [portrayed by Leigh Francis], like that’s a character you’re playing.
“I didn’t see her a lot, she goes in her room and rehearses a lot. I still feel as though there’s two sides to her, it’s like a split personality kind of thing. Sometimes she’ll be really posh then other times she’ll be doing the street talk. I think she’s really smart and she knows what she’s doing and it’s working really well, she’s in the quarter final now.”
Now that he’s been axed from show, Ryan – who was mentored by Nicole Scherzinger – would love to see his girlfriend Emily Middlemas go on to win the series and can’t wait to take part in the famous ‘X Factor’ tour next year with his beautiful partner.
He explained when asked who he wants to win the show: “I hope Emily can go on to win it now, definitely. From the start we talked about it, like if we had to sing against each other in the sing off it would be horrible but we would just do the best we can and be supportive. We’re going on tour together, and she’s in the quarter-final.”
And, although his journey on the show has come to an end, Ryan is adamant his career in music is only just taking off the ground and there’s plenty more in store for him.
Taking to his Twitter account after his appearance on the brunchtime show, Ryan wrote: “Thank you to everyone who supported me. The hard work starts now! Get my songs in the right hands. Get some hits out there. Lets do this (sic).”
