OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Love Island’s Coco Lodge has hit out at internet trolls for ruining her holiday.
The 27-year-old Casa Amor bombshell revealed she broke down in tears and refused to go clubbing when her co-star Cheyanne Kerr’s fans taunted her after Cheyanne shared a video of them on holiday together in Ibiza.
She said in a YouTube video: “Everyone’s gone out to Amnesia but after Ocean I was so, so tired and, to be honest, I read some comments on Cheyanne’s video that she posted of me and her on TikTok and I just honestly am just so sick of people trolling how I look or calling me a man, or whatever.
“It’s actually gotten to the point where it’s just not fair and not right.
“Like, why am I going through a video, scrolling through all the comments and everyone is saying how beautiful my friend is but then putting me down in response to that, saying, ‘Oh my God, Cheyanne you’re beautiful, your figure’s amazing, Coco, who’s that man at the first part of the clip?’ or, ‘Coco, you look so ugly,’ or, ‘How did this girl get on Love Island?’
“‘It’s not fair and it’s gotten to the point where I don’t want to go out tonight now because I feel like s*** about all these comments. It’s not fair.”
Coco previously admitted she was shocked by the trolling she received after exiting ‘Love Island’.
She said: “‘I just didn’t expect it because I wasn’t prewarned, so when I got my phone back, it was literally on the way to the airport and I was reading all these comments about my appearance, and how I look and I was literally shocked.
“I know there was an article released of me at the airport and it was ‘Coco Lodge fuming when she sees the trolls comments’ and I just think, I was upset, I wasn’t fuming, it hurt, it is what it is.”

Ariana DeBose to star in Disney’s Wish

OHMYGOSSIP — Ariana DeBose will star in Disney’s ‘Wish’.
The ‘West Side Story’ actress will voice star in the animated movie from ‘Frozen’s Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, which will explain how the wishing star that many Disney characters have wished upon came into existence.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, DeBose, 31, will voice Asha, “a 17 year old who sees a darkness in her kingdom that no one else does, so in a moment of desperation, she makes a passioned plea to the stars” and is answered by a falling star.
The animated movie – which was announced at the D23 panel in Anaheim, California – is set in Rosas, the kingdom of wishes and will blend the classic Disney animation style with a newer, CGI look.
Alan Tudyk voices a goat named Valentino in the movie, while singer/songwriter Julia Michaels will write original songs for the musical.
Buck will co-direct with Fawn Veerasunthorn and the movie is being produced by Peter Del Vecho and Juan Pablo Reyes.
It will be released in November 2023.
Meanwhile, Ariana – who picked up the Best Supporting Actress gong for playing Anita in the Steven Spielberg remake of ‘West Side Story’ – recently revealed that she almost didn’t audition for the movie musical.
She said: “I didn’t feel like I was going to be a candidate, because I didn’t have 500,000 followers. I wasn’t ‘a name.’ I was from Broadway, and typically when they make movie musicals in the States, they aren’t using theater talent, they’re using pop stars. The other thing was that the character, Anita, didn’t look like me—she’s not a Black woman.”
Ariana – who was involved with the debut of ‘Hamilton’ on Broadway- shared that she was in New York experiencing “chaotic peace” when she found out she was nominated for the Oscar.
She said: “I was walking by the East River in New York City. You’re on this walkway with the highway on one side and the tranquil water on the other. It was absolute chaotic peace, which is exactly how I felt about the news.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Josh Gad is “very interested” in doing the ‘Beauty and the Beast’ prequel,
The 41-year-old actor starred as LeFou in the live-action remake of the classic Disney movie and explained that he and co-star Luke Evans are “very much” hoping the Disney+ prequel series will happen eventually even though production was postponed.
He said: “I think that Luke [Evans] and I are still very much interested in the story. There were elements that were really, really stunning and really brilliant. It’s that blessing and curse of, when you’re doing something as big and as ambitious as a ‘Beauty and the Beast’ prequel, and you’re getting to play with the crown jewels, it’s gonna be an expensive undertaking.”
The Broadway star went on to explain that because the 2015 movie musical was – with a reported budget of $255 million – was one of the “most expensive” movies Disney had ever made, production of the prequel became too “ambitious” and is certain that there is a way to do the show in a way that “doesn’t break the bank.”
He told Collider: “In terms of ambition and scope, and trying to marry it to one of the most expensive movies in the Disney library, its ambition ran away with it. There are ways that we can tell this story and live up to the promise of what it can be, but also do it in a way that won’t break the bank. Ultimately, I think that will be the way forward. I hope we get to do it. I know we’re still very interested. There’s some amazing stuff that Adam [Horowitz] and Eddy [Kitsis] did, and that Alan Menken did, that I hope audiences get to see and hear, one day.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Joanna Page has been exposed as Pig on ‘The Masked Dancer’.
The 45-year-old actress – who is best known for playing Stacey Shipman in ‘Gavin and Stacey’ – has been eliminated from the ITV show after strongly hinting at her time on the sitcom during the clue package.
Joanna – who starred on the hit BBC series alongside Mathew Horne, Ruth Jones and James Corden – referred to the number 47 during the package and she later explained the meaning behind it.
She said: “It was Stacey’s house number in ‘Gavin and Stacey’.”
Joanna has become the latest celebrity to leave the show after last weekend’s elimination of ‘Desperate Housewives’ star Jesse Metcalfe.
The actor was unmasked as Astronaut and later revealed that he was keen to face his fears on the show.
He said: “I thought it would be fun because dance is something that really intimidates me so it’s a fear that I wanted to face.
“This has been unbelievable – it’s one of the most zany things I’ve ever done in my career but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed myself.”
Meanwhile, ITV recently defended its decision to air some of its most popular entertainment shows – including ‘The Masked Dancer’ – following the death of Queen Elizabeth.
The broadcaster said in a statement: “All programmes were pre-recorded before the sad news of Her Majesty The Queen’s passing.
“ITV’s main channel will continue to make changes to its schedule to broadcast the important state events of the coming days culminating in the historic state funeral with extensive and dedicated news coverage from our news teams.
“ITV will also be showing a number of documentaries about the Queen and the new King over the coming days. No advertising will run during any of the Royal coverage.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Fatima Whitbread wants to prove she’s “still got it” on ‘Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.’
The 61-year-old athlete – who broke the world record for Javelin throwing back in 1986 and went on to win two Olympic medals – is the oldest celebrity contestant ever on the Channel 4 survival show and “loved every minute” of her military-style training.
She said: “I want to prove this old biddy’s still got it. I wanted to do this show because it was a great opportunity to check in on myself and see where I was in my life. But it was one of the toughest processes I’ve been through, as well as the biggest challenge. I loved every minute. I shouldn’t have, but I did.”
The former ‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here’ star has joined the likes of ‘Love Island’ winner Amber Gill, 25, ex-footballer Ashley Cain, 31, and ‘EastEnders’ actress Maisie Smith, 21, as part of the lineup and admitted that while none of them knew “what to expect”, she is a “tough cookie” who is used to “punishing” herself.
She told The Mirror: “None of us knew what to expect. “But having been a top-flight athlete, I’m used to being punished. I punish myself all the time and train exceptionally hard. It’s not just the physical, I’m also aware of the importance of mental preparation. These sorts of battles are won or lost in the application of the mind.
“I’m probably a tougher cookie in that way than most. So it was nice to share some of those strengths, and weaknesses, with these young people. It was a great chance to show an older person can still thrive in a situation like that.”
‘Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins’ airs on Sundays at 9pm on Channel 4.

Jodie Prenger: Animals have changed my life

OHMYGOSSIP — Jodie Prenger says animals have “changed [her] life”.
The 43-year-old actress won the part of Nancy in a West End production of ‘Oliver!’ on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s BBC talent show ‘I’d Do Anything’ back in 2008 and has gone on to enjoy a long career on stage and screen but explained that rescuing animals is her passion away from showbusiness.
She said: “Animals have changed my life. Last year, instead of buying a load of old tat for Christmas, I rescued some dogs from the meat trade in China. I kept one and found homes in Britain for the rest. I love animals and I just keep getting more. I’ve now got three rescue cows, six dogs, three cats, five ducks and 15 chickens!”
The Blackpool-born star – who has starred in productions of ‘Shirley Valentine’, ‘Tell Me on a Sunday’ and ‘A Taste of Honey’ since her victory on the BBC talent show – lives in a farmhouse in Lancashire with her fiance Simon Booth and explained that even though they have been engaged for a decade, she does not consider marriage to be a “massive deal.”
She told MyWeekly: “My fiancé Simon knew what he was letting himself in for the first time he came to my house. My mum had made some soup and it was boiling hot and burned his mouth. The parrot was in the corner swearing, the dogs were barking and I was still upstairs getting ready!
Marriage isn’t a massive deal for me. We got engaged 10 years ago and we’re happy as we are. We’ll probably tie the knot one day, but I already feel like I’m married to him. He’s there every morning, every night – oh, it’s him again!”
Meanwhile, Jodie recently made a comeback to television when she made her debut as cruise ship singer Glenda Shuttleworth on ITV soap opera ‘Coronation Street’ and feels “lucky” that the part was created specifically for her because she is the “world’s worst” at auditions.
She said: “I’m the world’s worst at auditions when it’s a role I really want. I lose my marbles! So luckily ‘Coronation Street’ created the part of Glenda for me. She’s bolshy, bold, and brilliant with a heart of gold. She’s an absolute whirlwind!”

He said: “There’s definitely a lot of ingredients in this film, it’s a genre film, it’s popcorn and it’s designed to thrill. But at the same time, we want to add a layer that you care about. In some of these films, you have to have characters that you can relate to and care about and see a little bit of yourself within so that you care whether they get away from the beast or not and that is part of the c.”
The ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 2’ star – has a 20-year-old daughter Isan with his ex Kim Norgaard as well as eight-year-old son Winston with his ex
Naiyana Garth but is currently married to Sabrina Dhowre – went on to explain that although it was a “challenge”, he was inspired by his own fatherhood to complete the role.
He told HeyUGuys: “We spoke about how we layer the characters and the people’s story into this genre of film and what we led with is the fact that I’m a father and that connection with my children is quite universal. It’s always complex and it can be quite unique. It was a challenge for us but I think it worked in the end.”
‘The Beast’ is in cinemas now.

OHMYGOSSIP — Emma Roberts “always wanted to work” with Thomas Mann.
The 31-year-old actress stars alongside ‘Halloween Kills’ actor Thomas, 30, in new romcom ‘About Fate’ – which tells the story of two strangers who meet on New Year’s Eve and fall in love – and explained that she “loved” shooting the project because she “always” wanted to work with Thomas and was reunited with writer Tiffany Paulsen
She said: “First of all, I loved making that movie. I filmed it with Thomas Mann, who is an actor who I’ve always wanted to work with, in Boston, and it was written by Tiffany Paulsen, who wrote ‘Nancy Drew’ and ‘Holidate’. So it was so much fun to get a script and see her name on it, and her and I kind of have a shorthand, and I just love the way she writes characters for me. So it’s a really fun rom-com and I think it’ll make everyone smile.”
‘About Fate’ was released in cinemas and on streaming on September 9 and in the meantime, Emma has teamed up with Karah Preiss to produce a Hulu adaptation of Carola Lovering’s bestseller ‘Tell Me Lies’, which explores the ups and downs of a college romance and while there are “some differences” between the novel and the series, the ‘Wild Child’ star is confident that audiences can enjoy both.
She told ScreenRant: “Karah and I are very hard on book to movie or show adaptations. And this is one that I think we can say we’re very proud of kind of keeping the relationship from the book, you know, into the show. And also, you can enjoy both. Obviously, there are some differences here and there, but I think it’s a really, really great adaptation that we’re proud of.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Hocus Pocus 2’ director Anne Fletcher is “open” to another sequel.
The 56-year-old filmmaker is at the helm of the upcoming comedy horror movie – which is a follow-up to the original 1993 classic and set to launch on Disney+ on September 30 – and she won’t rule out a third film if Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy and Sarah Jessica Parker all want to return as the Sanderson sisters.
Speaking to SFX magazine, she said: “I have definitely left it WIDE open for any sequel. Now it’s really up to them if they want to do it.
“I can’t say anything other than yes, it is left open. Will they do it? I don’t know, they haven’t even talked about it, that I can be honest with you.”
Producer Lynn Harris also refuses to rule out the possibility, noting that the fantasy themes will always be popular with fans.
She added: “There’s always potential. It’s a movie about magic and witches. Those things are timeless aren’t they? A multiverse of witches!”
The prospect of a third film could be decided by Midler, Najimy and Parker – who play sisters Winne, Mary and Sarah respectively – with the trio also playing a huge role in making the upcoming sequel a reality.
Harris recalled: “We approached the women and said, ‘Hey, guys, it’s time to get the band back together’. They were all amenable and excited and had great notes on the scrip, which we took into account, because each of them as such a deep awareness of their character.
“Even though it had been 27 years, when we first started talking. They really remembered and understood who they were as Winnie, Sarah and Mary. They clicked right back into character, and it was magic.”
For Fletcher, it was a dream to see the three stars interacting on set, particularly as it came to the chemistry between their characters.
She said: “It is truly as though they had not been out of costume for 27 years. They went right back into character.
“When I say character, not just their own individual character, but the way in which they relate to one another, which is very specific, in terms of the familial squabbles in birth order.

OHMYGOSSIP — Joel Dommett “loves the pressure” of live television.
The 37-year-old comedian is set to host the National Television Awards on Thursday 13 October on ITV and explained that he is a “bit of a psychopath” when it comes to hosting live events.
He said: “The thing about live events is that you can prepare and rehearse and deliver jokes that are written to an inch of their lives, but people always remember the bits you can’t plan for. I am a bit of a psychopath when it comes to presenting. I just love the pressure.”
The ‘Masked Dancer’ host went on to explain that he still feels “new” to the world of presenting and often uses his fitness training to control his nerves befre going live which has helped him become “much more relaxed” on screen.
He told The Daily Star newspaper: “I still feel new, naive and I still feel like I am learning. I wear a heart rate moni tor and use my experience of fitness training to breathe properly and try and bring my heart rate down before going on stage so I don’t get overwhelmed. But I do think I have come a long way though. I am a much more relaxed and calm presenter than I used to be.”
The annual television awards ceremony was due to take place on 15 September, but was postponed as the country entered a national mourning period following the death of Queen Elizabeth last Thursday (08.09.22).
In a statement, organisers said: “We have taken the decision to postpone this year’s National Television Awards as a mark of respect following the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The 2022 NTAs will now take place on Thursday, 13th October, live from The OVO Arena Wembley.
To reflect the period of national mourning, viewer voting is also being paused. The public vote will resume on Tuesday 20th September at 9am and remain open until the day of the ceremony.

OHMYGOSSIP — Benjamin Evans Ainsworth is”‘honoured” to be the new Pinocchio.
The 14-year-old actor provides the voice of the wooden puppet in a live-action remake of the 1940 Disney classic alongside Tom Hanks as toymaker Geppetto and was “really impressed” how the CGI worked alongside the real-life stars.
He said: “It was shot in this massive studio, and it was called Cardington Airfield — It was a massive studio the size of the Titanic and it was where they held the Zeppelins in the World War — And all of the sets of Pinocchio were in this massive studio, every location Pinocchio goes to.
“I thought it was really impressive; the art and the art department, and what they did with all the locations. And also the CGI and the live-action, and how they coincide together, I thought it was really cool.
“It has [hit me] this week, I’d say. It’s my first time in LA, and it’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is real. I actually did this.’ It’s a bit weird. But, I’m more honored than anything to be able to do this.”
‘The Haunting of Bly Manor’ actor went on to explain that while auditioning for the role of the Disney hero, he “spent a lot of time” listening to the original voice because he wanted to “stay true” to that.
He told ScreenRant: “First of all, we got the audition through. It was Pinocchio, Robert Zemeckis, and that was already an honor. “Oh my gosh. Okay. We gotta do this.” So, I spent a lot of time going over the voice; the 1940s original. I thought it was very important to stay true to that, so I listened to a lot of Dickie Jones’ Pinocchio.”
‘Pinocchio’ is available to stream now on Disney+.

Brie Larson doesn’t know if ‘anyone’ wants her to continue as Captain Marvel

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Brie Larson doesn’t know if “anyone wants” her to keep playing Captain Marvel.
The 32-year-old actress has faced a huge backlash ever since she was cast in the title role of the 2019 movie and while she reprises the character, who is also known as Carol Danvers, in upcoming ‘The Marvels’, she admitted she’s not sure whether she’ll be back for another project.
Appearing at the D23 Expo over the weekend to present a first look at the film, Brie was asked how long she will play Captain Marvel.
She replied to Variety: “I don’t know. Does anyone want me to do it again?”
But the actress enjoyed working with co-stars Iman Vellani and Teyonah Parris in Nia DaCosta’s sequel.
She told the audience: “It was really nice to have a team. I had a team!”
The Oscar-winning actress has faced criticism from Marvel fans for varying reasons including not smiling in the trailer for ‘Captain Marvel’ and comments deemed sexist towards men after she previously called out the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s lack of diversity and noting her press days “appeared to be overwhelmingly white male.”
But Brie previously insisted she didn’t care about the comments.
She said in 2019: “I don’t have time for it, you know? The things that I have extra time to really look at are, like: Am I eating healthy food? Am I drinking water? Am I meditating? Have I called my mom today?
“I have genuinely never needed to look at the internet to explain to me who I am. I’m extremely committed to that in my day-to-day life.”
The actress previously admitted she had no idea how far she could push herself when it came to getting in shape for the superhero franchise.
She said: “I affectionately called myself ‘an introvert with asthma’ before I got to play Carol Danvers and I started training first out of sheer panic, because I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, Marvel doesn’t know that I don’t even know how to walk up a hill without being out of breath.’
“I started this journey thinking I’ll get strong and I had no idea. I went far beyond what I ever believed was possible for my body.”

Pete Wicks ‘gutted’ to leave Celebrity SAS: Who Dates Wins

OHMYGOSSIP — Pete Wicks is “gutted” to have been medically withdrawn from ‘Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins’.
The 33-year-old star was left unconscious and suffering broken ribs after jumping from a helicopter with fellow recruit Ashley Cain, and was told to depart the programme because he needed a chest x-ray, and while he’s disappointed not to have gone further in the competition, he understands why his stint was cut short.
He said: “I was gutted actually. This is a bit of a thing for me, it’s like I’ve always wanted to do this show and the worst thing for me was to be taken out because that’s something that I can’t control.
“But being completely honest, they’re a hundred percent right because I wouldn’t have been able to carry on with my broken ribs.
“To have been out so early, I was absolutely gutted because it’s a fail. And unfortunately now for me, I feel like I failed. It’s something that will f****** haunt me because I just don’t fail things.
” I don’t say I’m going to do something and don’t do it, so I was genuinely so hurt, gutted, disappointed, f***** off and angry at myself. And I still am, to be honest, even a year later. That was tough for me. I felt like I’d let a lot of people down, I felt like I’d let myself down.”
Pete insisted there was no way he would have quit the show voluntarily.
He added: “The whole show is more mental than it is anything else and I wanted to get interrogated and I was just gutted not to even get that far. There was no way I was ever going to hand my armband in. I knew I never would, so to go out the way I did really hurt. To be withdrawn because you’re physically unable to carry on for something that was an unfortunate accident, I just found really, really tough.”
The ‘Only Way is Essex’ star hopes he’ll be able to take part again in the future.
He said: “One hundred percent, without a shadow of a doubt I’d do it tomorrow if they gave me another chance at the course. I feel like I’ve got unfinished business and I failed as far as I’m concerned. I want to put that right. It was something that is genuinely going to haunt me.
“I think there are so many things that happen on that show that would have benefitted me as a person. Everyone who’s been on it said they came out a changed person.
“I think that’s the thing that I’m most sad about – that I didn’t get an opportunity for that too – I really felt like I was beginning, after just a few days, to understand a little bit more about myself and why I am the way I am. I think that’s what I missed out on.
“I really think the course would have changed my life. So to leave the way I did just left me quite angry. It’s left more than just a bitter taste in my mouth, I’m truly gutted.”
Amber Gill has also departed the programme after failing to complete a physical challenge on the beach.

Is Daniel Craig a detective like Benoit Blanc? Knives Out 2 cast played murder mystery games

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — The cast of ‘Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery’ played murder mystery games on days off from filming the sequel.
Janelle Monáe – who plays tech entrepreneur Cassandra ‘Andi’ Brand in the follow-up to Rian Johnson’s 2019 whodunnit – has revealed that as they were filming amid the COVID-19 lockdowns, she and her co-stars would have murder mystery nights on their hotel’s roof.
She told Deadline: “I literally host murder mystery parties at my house and dress up for fun.
“This guy.”
Janelle said director Rian “would leave handwritten, medieval-style notes under our hotel room door saying, ‘You’re invited…’”
However, lead star Daniel Craig confessed he’s not quite up to the standards of his detective alter ego Benoit Blanc when solving mysteries.
He said: “Everybody played this game.
“I’m a very good actor.”
The former James Bond quipped: “I was just there for the fun of the game. My game plan was basically just to look like the bad guy all of the time.”
The ‘No Time To Die’ star recently confessed he forgot how to do his Benoit accent.
The 54-year-old star spent months working with a dialect coach perfecting the sleuth’s Kentucky drawl once again.
He said: “I went away to work with an accent coach for three or four months before we started shooting. I’d forgotten the accent, and I didn’t want to do a pastiche. I wanted to make it as grounded and as anchored in reality as possible.”
Daniel continued: “How the f*** do we take something that caught people’s imagination and made them talk about murder mysteries, and do it again without it becoming a pastiche of itself?”
The original ‘Knives Out’ film was a hit when it was released in 2019 and director Rian suggested that he prefers Craig’s character to have an element of mystery surrounding him.
He said of the new movie: “There’s definitely more Blanc, but it’s not very interesting to me, the notion of building out Benoit’s life.
“Like with Poirot and Miss Marple, what’s fun is how the elements of Benoit’s character reveal themselves through his act of solving each one of these mysteries.”
Having starred as 007 in five films, Daniel admits that he has no fear about turning ‘Knives Out’ into a successful franchise of its own.
He explained: “I’ve spent the past 15 years of my life trying to do that in a franchise, so I’m not afraid of it.
“If you’ve got the right people in the room and the right talent, then you can do it. Rian’s a genius writer and doesn’t want to repeat (himself). Neither do we want to let people down, we want audiences to enjoy the world that we created in the first one and believe in this one.”

Curtis Pritchard eyes new TV role despite Hollyoaks backlash

OHMYGOSSIP — Curtis Pritchard has been having acting lessons and is eyeing a new TV role.
The ‘Love Island’ star and his former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professional brother AJ, 27, were hit with widespread backlash for their portrayal of siblings Marco and Jacob in Channel 4 soap ‘Hollyoaks’ in 2021, with former star Parry Glasspool dubbing their performance “agonising to watch”.
However, the criticism hasn’t put the 26-year-old dancer off, and he insists his acting is far better since his brief stint on the long-running soap.
He told the Daily Star: “Going on ‘Hollyoaks’ was such a great thing because I learned so much from it. It taught me a lot of acting. I fell in love with acting. It gave me a buzz for acting.
“I am 100% keen to do more acting. 1000%! I have been having acting lessons. From that performance on ‘Hollyoaks’ to now, I’m like a different person.”
The blonde-haired hunk says the ‘Hollyoaks’ team was made up with the attention their acting debuts courted.
He added: “Put it like this, I got more press than ‘Hollyoaks’ has ever got. In more countries than even get ‘Hollyoaks’. They were very happy.”
Curtis’ latest gig is taking part in ‘Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins’ with his brother.
The choreographer recently revealed he broke his little toe just two days before filming the Channel 4 quasi-military training television programme.
He told press: “Two days before going in, I was gonna go for a massage and I accidentally stubbed my little toe and broke it.
“Literally they called me into your massage and I stood up and booted my toe.
“I was that embarrassed, I couldn’t make a facial expression, couldn’t make a noise, I just kept walking on it.”
