OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Ben Kingsley thinks there is something “pure” about his MCU character.
The 78-year-old actor has starred as jester Trevor Slattery in the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies Iron Man 3′ and ‘ Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’ and joked that while he hasn’t actually told his character that he will be returning to the comic book franchise for a third in upcoming series ‘Wonder Man’, it is the “child” in him that resonates with the audience.
“Well I haven’t actually broken the news to Trev that he is about to embark on his third incarnation but if I could find him in a pub in Liverpool, I should tell him, gently and quietly in a corner ‘Trev, we’re on. Let me speculate on why [there is a love for the MCU
]. Like ‘Dhali’, there is something of the child in Trev and there is something pure in Trev and perhaps that touches the unconscious in the audience. That’s probably a ludicrous answer, but I had a go!”
Meanwhile, the ‘Gandhi’ star is now taking on the title role of painter Salvador Dalí in ‘Daliland’ and explained that the scenes in which he portrayed the late art legend dying as one of the most “extraordinary days” in his 50-year career.
He told Collider: “I reproduced documentary footage of Dali in the hospital and I was allowed to recreate that scene in the hospital as myself portraying Dali dying, That, for me, was one of the most extraordinary days of my career. I will remember that day forever.”

Mike Myers has said ‘maybe’ to a fourth Austin Powers film

OHMYGOSSIP — Mike Myers refuses to rule out a fourth ‘Austin Powers’ movie.
The 59-year-old actor starred as both the titular comedic parody of suave spy James Bond and his arch-nemesis Dr. Evil in three movies – ‘Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery’ in 1997, ‘Austin Powers: The Spy Who S****ed Me’ in 1999, and ‘Austin Powers in Goldmember’ in 2002 – and he’s always said he would be up for reprising the roles again, but he has no idea if it will ever happen.
Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight’, he responded when asked if there will be another flick in the series: “I don’t know.
“I’m gonna put a big, firm, written maybe on that.”
Asked the same question in May, he said: “I can neither confirm nor deny the existence or non-existence of such a project, should it exist or not exist.”
When it was suggested his comment felt “like a confirmation”, he told SiriusXM’s Jess Cagle: “It was a non-confirmed, confirmation confirmation.”
Myers – who also wrote and produced the trilogy – spoke about the possibility of a fourth ‘Austin Powers’ movie in November 2018, admitting it was “looking good”.
He said at the time: “Well you’re gonna see Dr. Evil soon, somewhere in the culture. But the movie, you know I’ve had three kids under the age of seven. They take a long time to write, they always have. Jay [Roach]’s been super crazy. He’s doing a fantastic movie right now that he’s working on. But … it’s looking good.”
Myers also previously claimed he would love to make a fourth movie in the franchise, as he explained the franchise was created as a “tribute” to his father, who passed away in 1991.
He said: “After my dad died in 1991, I was taking stock of his influence on me as a person and his influence on me with comedy in general. So Austin Powers was a tribute to my father, who [introduced me to] James Bond, Peter Sellers, The Beatles, The Goodies, Peter Cook and Dudley Moore.
“I would love to do another, but you just have to see. I was devastated by my father’s death. But to have that turn into something that makes people happy is unbelievably satisfying. It’s that kind of stuff you never get used to or get tired of.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sue Barker says she was “never wanted” by her mother.
The 66-year-old presenter was born to Betty and Bob Barker back in 1956 but explained that because her parents had just welcomed her older brother and money was tight, her mother tried to self-induce an abortion.
She said: “My dad particularly, he worked really hard, but they had just budgeted for two kids and they didn’t have a lot of money left over. Then, a few months after my brother was born, suddenly my mum Betty was pregnant again. She apparently drank a lot of gin and bounced down the stairs one time. She always said to me, ‘I didn’t want you. I feel so bad about it..'”
However, the former tennis star – whose mother lived to be 100 – went onto explain that she and Betty had a the “most wonderful relationship” and admitted that it was a “huge thing” for her to have bought a tennis racket when money was such a problem.
Speaking on BBC Four’s Desert Island Discs’, she added: “My mum and I had the most wonderful relationship, even though they cut corners, which is why I really salute them in giving me my tennis career as well. Even to buy me a tennis racket was a huge thing, because if you have three children you can’t favour one.”
The former ‘A Question of Sport’ host added that her mother’s secret to living a long life was doing all the “wrong things” a she revealed her mother was known as “Betty six-gins” before her death.
She said: “She wasn’t known as ‘Betty six gins’ for nothing. Every time the clock pinged up to six o’clock, the gin and tonic would come out. But also everything she ate was wrong. Everything was white bread, processed meats. No water, never drank water. She lived to 100, so maybe we’re all getting it wrong.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Graham Norton says the public response to the death of Queen Elizabeth has been “gorgeous.”
The late monarch passed away at the age of 96 following a 70-year-reign on September 8 and TV star Graham, 59, has labelled the response as “irrational” but “genuine” after 400,000 people queued for up to 30 hours to visit her coffin as she lay in state.
On the eve of her funeral, Graham told The Sunday Times: “It’s gorgeous to see the way people respond. It’s not rational. But it’s genuine
Meanwhile, the former drag queen has fronted the celebrity chat show ‘The Graham Norton Show’ since 2007 and claimed that actress Dame Helen Mirren – who famously took on the role of Her Majesty in the 2006 film ‘The Queen’ – “makes the couch better” when she makes an appearance.
He said: “She makes people on the couch better. I don’t know what it is. I think it’s because she’s interested. So they’ll start telling a story and she’ll turn and gaze, and they’ll up their game, ‘because Dame Helen is actually listening to me, I’d better up my story. Tom Cruise is also incredible. He comes in and gets introduced to everyone, as happens with every guest, and he remembers everyone’s name. Clearly, that is some sort of mental trick, but it’s a very impressive one. That means people backstage love him.”
The Queen’s state funeral will take place at Westminster Abbey in London at 11am on Monday (19.09.22), with a committal service taking place at St George’s Chapel, Windsor at 4pm and she will then be buried with the Duke of Edinburgh – who passed away in April 2021 aged 99 – in a private ceremony at 7.30pm.

She said: “There’s a real personal link between the Armed Forces and the Queen being the Commander in Chief and anyone who serves because you have to say a pledge of allegiance to the Queen. That’s the first thing you ever do, so for me that was always a life allegiance because you serve the Crown and not the government.”

Keanu Reeves returning for Constantine sequel

By

-

OHMYGOSSIP — A ‘Constantine’ sequel is in development.
Keanu Reeves and director Francis Lawrence are set to return for the Warner Bros. follow-up to the 2005 film.
The original movie was a box office success when it was released and featured ‘The Matrix’ star as the supernatural exorcist John Constantine – who appears in DC’s ‘Hellblazer’ comics – who is dying but stays around to save his soul by keeping demons from hell from breaching Earth.
He also gets caught in a battle between the archangel Gabriel (Tilda Swinton) and Lucifer (Peter Stormare).
Akiva Goldsman is writing the screenplay for the sequel and is producing the film through his Weed Road Pictures, alongside J.J. Abrams and Hannah Minghella for Bad Robot.
Keanu confessed last year that he had wanted to play Constantine again but a lack of interest from studios had prevented a sequel from coming to fruition.
Speaking to talk show host Stephen Colbert, the 58-year-old actor said: “I would love to play John Constantine again from the Constantine movie.”
The presenter clarified: “Are you saying right now that you are willing to play John Constantine on national television right now… that no one will make that movie?”
Keanu replied: “I’ve tried. I’ve tried, Stephen. I would love to.”
Lawrence made his directorial debut on the original film and has stated his wish to make a sequel.
He said: “I think we all wanted to do it. It was successful enough. We wanted to make a responsible, R-rated movie.
“By responsible, I mean we’d make a movie that wouldn’t cost quite as much as the original, which we thought was going to be PG-13.
“We worked on the sequel for a while. It was tricky to come up with where to take it.”

James Cameron hopes Avatar re-release sparks cinema resurgence

OHMYGOSSIP — James Cameron hopes the re-release of ‘Avatar’ helps the “resurgence” of cinemas.
A remastered version of the 2009 sci-fi epic will be released in theatres later this month and James wants a new generation to be introduced to the wonders of the big screen.
In an interview with The New York Times newspaper, the 68-year-old director said: “Young film fans never had the opportunity to see it in a movie theatre. Even though they think they may have seen the film, they haven’t really seen it.
“And I was pleasantly surprised, not only at how well it holds up but how gorgeous it is in its remastered state.”
James is aware that movie viewing habits have changed in the wake of the pandemic and acknowledges that films have to be made with streaming and home access in mind.
The ‘Titanic’ filmmaker said: “We’ve got a turn of the world towards easy access in the home, and that has a lot to do with the rise of streaming in general, and the pandemic, where we literally had to risk our lives to go to the movie theatre.”
James did point out that audiences are “craving” the return of the cinematic experience after years of disruption due to the global health crisis – ahead of the release of the long-awaited sequel ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ in December.
He said: “People are craving that. It’s slowly building back. Partly it’s been because of a dearth of top titles that people would want to see in a theatre. But ‘Avatar’ is the poster child for that. This is the type of film that you have to see in a theatre.”

Letitia Wright: Black Panther sequel honours Chadwick Boseman

OHMYGOSSIP — Letitia Wright says ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ honours the late Chadwick Boseman “in a beautiful way”.
The 28-year-old actress reprises her role as Shuri in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) sequel and thinks Ryan Coogler’s blockbuster is the perfect tribute to Chadwick – who played the lead role in the original movie and died aged 43 in 2020 after a battle with colon cancer.
Speaking to The Playlist, Letitia said: “It was hard for me to imagine being on set without my brother. It was something I was battling for months.
“The confidence that Ryan felt that he heard Chadwick just give him that gentle push forward, to continue. And the way that Ryan would express that it was bigger than all of us, and Chad would have wanted us to continue.
“That really encouraged me. I have so much confidence. I love Ryan.”
The ‘Death on the Nile’ star added: “I can’t wait for you guys to see the film and how we honoured Chad in a beautiful way.”
Letitia explained how the cast and crew gave everything for the blockbuster in honour of Boseman’s memory.
She said: “We honoured him by committing ourselves to the story that he started, the legacy he started with this franchise, and we committed every day to working hard, no matter what circumstances we faced. And we faced a lot of circumstances. We poured everything into this movie.”
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has described the upcoming movie – that will be released in November – as a “tribute” to Boseman.
He said: “It’s a very important thing that ‘Wakanda Forever’ not only brings the same level of joy and inspiration that the first ‘Black Panther’ film did, but it also is a tribute to what he did, and what he brought not to just to us, but to the world.”

No scripts prepared for Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral

By
Ohmygossip.com

OHMYGOSSIP — Sky News’ Dermot Murnaghan says they won’t prepare any scripts for Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral.
The 64-year-old broadcaster will treat the event as “a breaking news story” as millions of people tune into the mark the life of the late 96-year-old monarch on Monday (19.09.2022) at a service at Westminster Abbey attended by hundreds of people, including UK Prime Minister Liz Truss, US President Joe Biden, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the First Lady of Ukraine Oleana Zelenska.
He told Metro.co.uk: “On the day, it’s a breaking news story. There are no scripts. If you can’t think of something to say, you really shouldn’t be in the job.
“What tells the story of something of this enormity is not some broadcaster like me rabbiting on, it’s pictures and the sounds on your screen. The story is the story. The story is not me, and it’s not what I’d say.”
Dermot recalled the “hairs standing on the back your neck moment” when the Queen’s body was taken from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall, where she lay in state and was seen by thousands of people, many of whom had queued for hours.
He added: “I was there on Wednesday when they had the procession, taking the Queen’s coffin from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall. That was a hairs standing on the back of your neck moment – and that was somber and relatively simple compared to what we’re going to see and what the world is going to see on the day of the Queen’s funeral.
“[They will see] Britain at its best; and I don’t just mean the marching, the music, and just how well [the ceremony] is organised. It’s the people as well, as they are going to turn out absolutely in their millions.”
The former ‘Eggheads’ host believes the day is “going to be the likes of which we’ve never seen before.”
Dermot admitted that he had been “heartened” by the UK’s response to the passing of Her Majesty after more than 70 years on the throne.
He said: “Hundreds of thousands of people have been queuing to see the Queen lying in state and some of them pretty much know they won’t get in. But that’s not the point – the point is that they’re there. And I get that, I think it’s really, really good.
“‘I’m really heartened by the way the British people are reacting. It’s not a tearing of clothes and a wailing [type grief]. It’s not like the death of Princess Diana; it wasn’t a shock. It’s quiet. It’s respectful. It’s reflective and, slightly in those queues, celebratory. It’s an event. And there’s nothing wrong with that.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Daniel Mays waited 11 hours to see Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin lying-in-state.
The ‘Line of Duty’ star stood in line to say a proper goodbye to the Queen after she reigned for more than 70 years while she was lying-in-state in Westminster Hall before her state funeral on Monday (19.09.2022).
The 44-year-old actor wrote on Twitter on Sunday (18.09.2022): “11 hours queueing to pay our respects to the Queen for her exceptional 70 years of service yesterday. The warmth, affection, conversations shared, glorious views and sense of community were magical to be part of. Made me proud to be British and proud to be a Londoner.”
Daniel also posted a message of condolences on the day (08.09.2022) Her Majesty passed away.
He tweeted: “Lots of emotional moments whilst watching the continued coverage of our Queen’s passing. Last night’s final journey to the Palace in the typically dizzily London rain proper choked me. The moment the police outriders bowed their heads as the crowds cheered. She was so loved.”
David Beckham joined his fellow mourners in the queue and waited 13 hours to pay his respects.
He said: “We all want to be here together, we all want to experience something where we celebrate the amazing life of our Queen.”
Susanna Reid and Tilda Swinton also were said to have offered their condolences in person while ‘This Morning’ presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield faced widespread criticism for appearing to “jump the queue”, a claim denied by ITV.
A statement from the channel said: “Hello everyone, we would like to clarify something. We asked Phillip and Holly to be part of a film for this Tuesday’s programme. They did not jump the queue, have VIP access or file past the Queen lying in state – but instead were there in a professional capacity as part of the world’s media to report on the event.

OHMYGOSSIP — Stars of ‘The Only Way is Essex’ broke down in tears as they learned that Yazmin Oukhellou had been involved in a car crash.
The 28-year-old reality star was left with serious injuries in July while traveling with her on/off boyfriend Jake McLean – who was killed in the smash at the age of 33 – in Turkey after his car plunged down a ravine in Turkey and in the latest episode of ‘The Only Way is Essex’, stars were seen learning of the news.
The episode broadcast on Sunday (18.09.22) began with a card reading: “Yazmin has been in a car accident and is recovering in hospital in Turkey.”
Upon learning the news, Yazmin’s best friend Junaid Ahmed was seen to be distressed as it dawned on him that he was helpless.
He said: “No one gets it. She is more than a best friend to me. She’s my sister and I can’t help her.”
Meanwhile, Amber Turner also struggled to accept the news and realised that “life is too short” to worry about “petty dramas.
She said: “I just can’t believe it. It’s so sad. It makes you realise there are bigger things that go on in the world that silly tit-for-tat arguments about nothing. Life is too short to worry about petty dramas anyway. I think this should change the way we think”
Fellow ‘TOWIE’ star James ‘Lockie’ Lock was also “shocked” at the news of his former girlfriend- who was taken to a wellness retreat in Marrakech where she continues to recover almost two months on – and noted that she was “lucky” to be alive.
He said: “I’m just shocked at what’s happened to Yaz. It’s mad. I can’t really get my head around it, to be honest. From what I know, she’s a lucky girl just to be alive. She’s stable, in hospital, her family are there. It’s scary. Puts everything in perspective.”

Rob Brydon: My worst ever heckle was a woman reading a book about genocide during my show

OHMYGOSSIP — Rob Brydon has revealed his worst ever heckle wasn’t someone shouting abuse at him but a woman “reading a book during my show”.
The 57-year-old comedian – who will be heading to Australia next year for his new tour ‘A Night of Songs and Laughter’ – was performing on stage in Inverness in front of a tough crowd as one member of the audience was clearly not amused. The Welsh-actor explained how out of all the hecklers she was the worst as she didn’t even engage in his show just had her head suck in a book engrossed in ‘A History of Genocide’.
He told Daily Star newspaper: “It was a woman sitting on her own reading a book during my show.”
Most recently the ‘Gavin and Stacey’ star was joined by fellow comedian Stewart Lee on his podcast who caused controversy after he slammed Ricky Gervais’ series ‘After Life’ as “one of the worst things ever made”.
The dark comedy Netflix series has received widespread acclaim since it debuted back in 2019 but Ricky felt “genuinely overwhelmed” by the reaction after waking up to thousands of tweets, Stewart Lee called his work “abysmal”.
Speaking on Rob Brydon’s podcast, Stewart, 54, said: “I think ‘The Office’ is brilliant. I think Ricky’s comedy-drama work is of diminishing returns to the point where it’s now abysmal.
“I think it must be very sad if you’re teaching drama or creative writing, how can you make a case for the things that make drama and creative writing good when After Life is a success?
“You know, ‘cause your kids could just go ‘But none of those things happen in this’ and yet millions of people watch it. I think it’s one of the worst things that’s ever been made by a human.”

I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’s return Down Under ‘thrown into doubt’

By

-

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’s return to Australia has been thrown into doubt.
The ITV show is poised to return Down Under after a two-year hiatus – but the show might still have to be moved elsewhere because a highly infectious disease, called Q Fever, is currently raging through Australia.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “‘I’m A Celebrity’s return to Oz was so important to ITV and was something fans of the show were hugely excited for. Another infectious disease is really the last thing ITV needs.”
The disease can cause serious health problems, like organ failure, and it can also be transmitted to humans who work with animals.
The recent spike in cases in thought to have been caused by the increase in wildlife moving nearer to residential areas.
However, ITV has pledged to follow all UK and Australian guidelines.
A spokesperson for the broadcaster said: “The ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ production will adhere to all necessary UK and Australian government guidelines.”
The long-running show was filmed in the UK amid the COVID-19 pandemic. But hosts Ant and Dec previously confirmed their plans to return Down Under for the upcoming series.
Dec said: “If they let us in the country, we’ll be back in.”
Ant, 46, loved filming the show in Wales during the pandemic. However, he believes that ‘I’m a Celebrity’ – which launched in 2002 – belongs in the Australian jungle.
He shared: “We had two lovely years in Wales … we really enjoyed our time in Wales, but this show has to be in Australia – we have to go back.”
The new series has been brought forward because of the World Cup and is expected to begin in November.
