OHMYGOSSIP — Chloe Ferry wants to have 10 kids with her boyfriend Johnny Wilbo.
The ‘Geordie Shore’ star would love her 24-year-old beau to pop the question and she’s keen to crack on with starting a family.
Speaking about her reason for going on BBC Three dating show ‘Hot Property’, she told new! magazine: “I want a husband, I was single for so long. I’d been on my own for two years and I thought ‘I want to settle down now’ I’m 26. I want a big family with 10 kids, so I feel like I need to start cracking on.”
Chloe, who picked her blind date based on “cleanliness”, said she really enjoyed her time on the programme, regardless of coming out without a date.
She added: “It was honestly the best thing I’ve ever filmed for. Everyone was easy-going and I got on really well with [the show’s host] Yung Filly. I’m so excited to watch it.
“You go to three people’s houses and pick someone to date based on what you find.
“There were chicken wings in one house that had probably been there for a month – that was a massive turn off. Don’t get me wrong, I love chicken. That was just a lot to take in.
“There were foundation fingerprints on the wall as if they were getting freaky. I feel like he’d had a one night stand the night before and I thought ‘Right, this lad’s obviously a player’.”
But the 26-year-old reality TV star, who met Johnny not long after appearing on the dating series last October, is taking their relationship slow.
She said: “There’s no pressure on it yet – I’m just enjoying Johnny’s company.
“He’s very genuine, down-to-earth and just a lovely person.
“I’ve realised as I’ve got older you’ve just got to go with the flow. If things don’t work out, they don’t work out.”
But Johnny is keen to start a family.
Chloe added: “He’s like, ‘We best get cracking!’ I feel like I need to let it go now though. I don’t think I’m gonna be having 10 kids. I wanted 10 kids and two alpacas, but I feel like I’m just gonna end up with the two alpacas.”

Jared Leto says TRON: Ares could be coming ‘sooner than later’

OHMYGOSSIP — Jared Leto has said that ‘TRON: Ares’ could be coming “sooner than later”.
The 50-year-old actor was initially cast in the title role of the third film in the Disney sci-fi series back in August 2020 and – while it is reportedly scheduled for release in 2025, “super fan” Jared has teased that things are “getting closer” with development of the movie.
He told ScreenRant: “I’m a super fan of ‘TRON’, and we are working hard on ‘TRON’ with our incredible partners at Disney. Just an amazing group of creative people. We’re getting closer. We’re getting closer and closer, and who knows? Something may be [coming] sooner than later!”
The first ‘TRON’ movie was released back in 1982 and was followed by ‘TRON: Legacy” in 2010 with both films often considered to be cult classics.
Meanwhile, the ‘House of Gucci’ actor is set to take on the starring role of Dr. Michael Morbius in the Marvel Cinematic Universe movie ‘Morbius’ and insisted that people should be “thankful” for the blockbuster series that is the MCU.
He said: “[Marvel movies] are probably the biggest generators of revenue. So, in
a sense, we should be thankful.
“Especially those of us who are big fans of cinema and theaters, we should be thankful that these films even exist. Because they help support the ecosystem, so that other films that are adult dramas, like
‘House of Gucci’, have theaters they can actually be in. That’s my point. Maybe that was lost in translation, but it seems it’s pretty hard to argue with that. I mean, I think it’s a sacred thing, cinema. And it’s a beautiful thing. It changed my life. I’ve never done anything like [Marvel] before. I’ve never starred in a big movie like [‘Morbius’] before. I generally am doing different sorts of films and, you know, I just jumped at the opportunity.”
‘Morbius’ is set to be released in cinemas on 1st April 2022.

Ethan Hawke thinks that movie villains are often built on ‘mental illness’

By
Helena-Reet Ennet

OHMYGOSSIP — Ethan Hawke thinks that movie villains are often built on “mental illness.”
The 51-year-old actor stars as charismatic antagonist Arthur Harrow in Marvel Cinematic Universe spin-off series ‘Moon Knight’ and although he thinks that the history of film is littered with “mentally ill” villains, he had to find a “sane lunatic” for his role because the process was “inverted” for the show.
He said: “The history of movies is paved with storytellers using mental illness as a building block for the villain. There are countless stories of mentally ill villains, but we have a mentally ill hero, and that’s fascinating because we’ve now inverted the whole process. As the antagonist, I can’t be crazy because the hero is crazy, so I have to find a sane lunatic, or a sane malevolent force.”
Ethan stars opposite Oscar Isaac in the upcoming series – who takes on the title role of a Jewish-American mercenary with dissociative identity disorder – and explained that playing opposite a character suffering with a mental health condition was an “interesting riddle” as he tackled the role of the villain.
He told Collider: “That was an interesting riddle for me, to figure out how to be in dynamics with what Oscar was doing. Mohamed [Diab, director] was really embracing his mental illness as a way to create an unreliable narrator. Once you’ve broken the prism of reality, you realize that everything the audience is seeing is from a skewed point of view, and that’s really interesting for the villain. That was our riddle. ”
Mohammed previously admitted that he is hopeful that an MCU film could follow the series but admitted that is not always “how they play it” at Marvel.
He said: “I dream and wish for a film. But with Marvel, the way they play it, it’s not like you graduate into a film. You can go into a film and come to a TV show and go back.”
‘Moon Knight’ is set to stream on Disney+ from 30th March.

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Love Island’ star Anna Vakili feared she was going die after undergoing bum lift surgery.
The 31-year-old reality TV star and her sister Mandi regretted their decision to get another Brazilian butt lift in Turkey after getting their first one at a “really good place in London”.
Anna said: “We went to too far when we did it again.
“The second time we did it, we went abroad to Turkey and me and Mandi thought we were going to die abroad. It was very scary.”
Former ‘Love Island’ star Anna insisted their recovery room was like something from “a murder scene”.
She said: “After our surgery, within a day or two, we were in a hotel room about to faint with blood all over the hotel room.
“It was like a murder scene, we both collapsed in hotel room. Bandaged up, bleeding … it was like a horror movie.”
Anna’s 28-year-old sister Mandi also said: “We ended up like Frankenstein. The second time we went, we wanted a cheaper option so we went abroad. Do your research thoroughly – if it’s cheap, it’s cheap for a reason.”
The former pharmacist explained the procedure, describing it as a “fat transfer” and admimtted she didn’t “regret” her first one, enthusing about how it made her “feel better’ and “more confident”.
Speaking on their ‘Sisters in the City’ podcast, Anna said: “A Brazilian butt lift is a fat transfer where they take fat from other parts of your body and they put it into your bum.
“When we first did it, it was really good. We went to a really good place in London, a reputable surgeon, recovery … good. Minimal scars.’
“I don’t regret that first one. It made me feel better, it made me feel more confident.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sandra Bullock “loved” that her latest romcom movie incorporated action and adventure.
The 57-year-old actress stars as novelist Loretta Sage in ‘The Lost City’ who ends up in the jungle after being kidnapped by an eccentric billionaire and explained that the romantic comedy broke out of the genre’s usual constraints of and insisted that it needed to be made up of “three different types of movie” in order to work.
She said: “Rom-coms don’t get a great cinematographer, they don’t get a great budget; rom-coms don’t really get to be funny the way I like to be funny because you have strike that balance between being the love interest and then loving someone. We didn’t have to carry that, and it gives you a lot of freedom. The action-adventure part of it — I just loved that there were three different types of movies in this that needed to be together, otherwise, it wouldn’t work.”
The ‘Miss Congeniality’ actress is joined in the flick by ‘Harry Potter’ star Daniel Radcliffe and ‘Magic Mike’ actor Channing Tatum – who takes on the role of her love interest – and revealed that she knew he would be the right choice for the part because of how well she knows him personally.
She told The Hollywood Reporter: “I knew that how I thought of him as a human being in real life and what I saw him as — which a lot of people don’t get to see him as — I was like, ‘I would love to see that play out with someone who is as tightly wound as the character. You need people like Chan opposite people like my character, and he’s just brilliant.”

Gabrielle Union felt that diversity was ‘really important to explore’ in the Cheaper by the Dozen remake

OHMYGOSSIP — Gabrielle Union felt that diversity was “really important to explore” in the ‘Cheaper by the Dozen’ remake.
The 49-year-old actress takes on the role of a matriarch of a 12-child family in the Disney remake of the 2003 comedy – which starred Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt – and its 1950 predecessor but feels that this time round there were more “issues” to explore because the clan is “blended” and “racially-diverse.”
She said: ” I think in the previous iterations, it’s a completely homogeneous family. There’s no diversity, so what are the issues? Yeah, you know what I mean? It’s like it’s more about just the sheer size and different personalities, but when you really lean into the blended family, blended racially, culturally, different levels of ability, and then you move that family to what you think is better and the best.”
In the movie, Gabrielle and former ‘Scrubs’ actor Zach Braff star as Zoey and Paul Baker, who raise a racially diverse brood made up of their own children as well as ones from previous marriages and one adopted child.
The ‘Bring It On’ star – who is mother to Kaavia James with ex-basketball player and husband Dwyane Wade as well as stepmother to his three other children – explained that as a “mom of color”, it was important for her to explore what is best for black families in “predominantly white spaces” in the movie.
She told ScreenRant: “You very quickly realize that trying to navigate predominantly white spaces as a person of color and as a mom of color, that perhaps someone else’s idea of best and better isn’t really what’s best for your family’s safety, and sanity, and peace. That’s something that was really important for us to explore.”

Amanda Holden wants to be next Bradley Walsh

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Amanda Holden would love to take on more projects, after being inspired by Bradley Walsh’s career.
The ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ judge looks fondly at the 61-year-old actor’s career trajectory, after he appeared on TV five times over three days of the festive period, presenting ‘The Chase’ and ‘Blankety Blank’ and acting in sitcom ‘The Larkins’.
The 51-year-old actress said: “If Bradley Walsh can do an afternoon game show, Amanda Holden should be able to do a movie.”
Amanda – who has daughters 14-year-old Lexi and nine-year-old Hollie with her husband Chris Hughes – teased what she has in the “business side” pipeline while divulging the amount of projects she has coming up.
She is quoted by the Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: “I’ve a couple of huge things coming out on the business side, two TV jobs and a film. They’re not comfortable with you doing more than one thing.”
One thing that the ‘Heart Breakfast’ host has ready to drop is her guest spot on ‘Neighbours’, the long running Channel 5 soap set in Melbourne, Australia.
When a sneak peek of her time playing aunt to Harlow, the character played by Jemma Donovan – who is niece to ‘Neighbours’ alum Jason Donovan – dropped, Amanda gushed about the “fun and surreal experience” filming the classic soap, which is ending in June this year.
She said: “My first day on set was such a fun and surreal experience. If I’d told my 12/13 year old self I would one day appear in ‘Neighbours’ I’d have never believed it!
“So many people were beeping in their cars and passersby assumed that Jemma was my real daughter because we look quite similar! I can’t wait to continue the journey of my character Harriet.”

Coronation Street bosses didn’t realise Rebecca and Jack James Ryan were siblings

OHMYGOSSIP — Rebecca Ryan says “nobody at ‘Coronation Street’ had any idea” that Jack James Ryan is her brother.
The 30-year-old actress – who has played Lydia Chambers on the ITV soap since December – called working with her 25-year-old sibling on the show “a dream come true”, and she is adamant that it’s “a total coincidence”.
Rebecca told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Nobody at ‘Coronation Street’ had any idea. When I joined, I’d be talking to people and say, ‘Oh, yeah, my brother works here’. And they’d go, ‘Really, who’s your brother? What? Jack!’.
“It’s a dream come true to be working on the show at the same time, but it’s a total coincidence.”
The soap star believes her bond with Jack – who plays drug dealer Jacob Hay on the cobbles – has been close since they were youngsters, but it increased when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer five years ago.
Rebecca said: “It definitely brought us closer together. I would die for my brother. We’re best friends and it’s been like that ever since we were kids. We talk on the phone at least once a day and I feel so protective towards him. I was there for him through all his hospital appointments, but I felt so helpless.”
Jack – who wrote the show ‘Me and My Left Ball’ about the ordeal – was at drama school when he received the news, which Rebecca felt like “it wasn’t real”.
She said: “I’m a very emotional person. I cry over adverts, I cry when I’m happy, when I’m sad and when I’m hungry, but this was weird. I did cry, but at the same time it felt like it wasn’t real.”

Warner Bros Studio Tour London extends Magical Mischief feature

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Harry Potter’ fans have been given more time to learn about the filmmaking trickery behind the movies.
Visitors to Warner Bros. Studio Tour London will be able to enjoy the Magical Mischief special feature – which examines how certain wizarding tricks were pulled off – until 22 June after it was extended from its original end date of 1 May.
When fans enter the Great Hall, they will find the set dressed for a prank by the Weasley twins during an O.W.L.s exam in ‘Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix’, complete with a swinging pendulum. Dolores Umbridge’s distinctive two-piece pink outfit takes centre stage – but sharp-eyed visitors will also spot Fred and George’s costumes on their broomsticks, suspended from the ceiling.
And that’s not all as there is a demonstration on how camera trickery was employed for the vanishing effect of Harry’s invisibility cloak and visitors can even get hands-on with origami to make their very own ‘howlers’.
Another of Fred and George’s pranks is also spotlighted, with an explanation as to how the Creature Effects team were able to create actors James and Oliver Phelps’ long beards and burned costumes after they attempted to beat an age line to put their names into the Goblet of Fire, while the secrets of the SFX team’s creation of the infamous letter scene inside 4 Privet Drive in ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’ will also be revealed.
Cornish Pixies will also be on the loose around the Studio Tour and visitors are invited to collect stamps when they find them as part of the Marauder’s Map activity passport.
Later in the year, the Studio Tour’s popular Dark Arts feature will return in time for Halloween, running from 23 September until 6 November and the various sets will be transformed for the festive season when the Yule Ball returns for Hogwarts in the Snow from 12 November until 15 January.
Tickets must be pre-booked at www.wbstudiotour.co.uk or by calling the Studio Tour’s Visitor Services Team on 0345 084 0900 and cannot be bought at the attraction.

Keith Lemon says Fantastical Factory of Curious Craft was ‘too expensive’

OHMYGOSSIP — Keith Lemon’s ‘Fantastical Factory of Curious Craft’ was cancelled because it was “too expensive” to make.
The comedy star hosted the arts show on Channel 4 alongside Anna Richardson, but he’s now confirmed via Instagram that it won’t be returning for another series.
Speaking to his followers on the photo-sharing platform, Keith – whose real name is Leigh Francis – shared: “No, it won’t be back. I really enjoyed doing it but I think it was too expensive.”
The show featured contestants making eye-catching crafts for celebrity guests, and the series included the likes of Martin Kemp, Nick Grimshaw and Eamonn Holmes.
Keith previously likened the show to stepping inside “Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory”.
Speaking before the first episode aired, he explained: “It’s like Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory but there’s no chocolate. In fact the only brown stuff is brown cardboard, amongst a rainbow of other colourful materials.
“Fur, felt, spray paints, Acrylics, ribbons, fabrics. Everything you need to make your imagination create whatever you have the skills to build, paint or draw. Wow that sounds good doesn’t it!
“It’s a lovely joyful place you probably wouldn’t expect to find me in, but I loved it!”
Keith was approached for the presenting role by Channel 4, with the broadcaster searching for its own “artistic Willy Wonka” at the time.
Asked how he got involved with the programme, the comedian previously explained: “I got sent the idea from Channel 4. They actually wanted an artistic Willy Wonka.
“I guess that’s me, although they didn’t know I had an artistic flare as such. Then I sent them loads of pictures of things I’d made, so yeah I was the right man for the job I guess.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Craig Revel Horwood is hoping Anton Du Beke will return to the ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ panel later this year.
The 57-year-old choreographer was delighted when Anton took over from Bruno Tonioli on last year’s series, after the 66-year-old star was forced to stay in the US – where he is a judge on ‘Dancing With The Stars’ – because the coronavirus pandemic made it difficult for him to fly between America and the UK.
Craig said: “I am so pleased now that he is a judge, finally. There are only so many years you can be front-row dancing, then the second row, then the third and fourth.
“Then the only place left, darling, is a dancer’s sheer death – in the wings.
“I was pleased they got him off the dancefloor and then put him where he belongs.
“I hope he comes back next year. I loved it, absolutely.”
Craig also admitted he was delighted his ‘Strictly’ pay hadn’t decreased, despite only filming on one day rather than two nowadays.
According to The Sun newspaper’s TV Biz column, Craig said at his one-man show ‘The All Balls And Glitter Tour’: “We got paid for Saturday and Sunday but now I only have to do one day and get paid for both.
“Thank you for paying your TV licences. I have got a huge manor house. I love it.”
Last month, Craig confirmed he had signed a two-year deal to remain on ‘Strictly’.
Quizzed on whether Bruno would be back on the show this year, he said: “I’ve no idea. I’ve signed a two-year deal, but don’t know about Shirley [Ballas], Motsi [Mabuse], Bruno, or Anton.”

Maggie Gyllenhaal: Women in the film industry are used to working with less

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Maggie Gyllenhaal thinks female filmmakers are “used to working with less”.
The 44-year-old star admitted to working with a “tiny” budget while making her acclaimed drama film ‘The Lost Daughter’, and she also confessed that the shoot was a little bit chaotic behind the scenes.
Maggie – who wrote and directed the film – shared: “We needed another day and a half. I like wildness. I don’t like insanity. And there was a little bit of insanity.”
The actress-turned-director ultimately wishes women in the movie industry were given “a little more space and time”.
She told The Hollywood Reporter: “Even when I made films as an actress [with stories] about women, when we had no money: ‘Fine, fine, we’ll just make do with what we have.’ I really hope that we can have a little more space and time [in the future].”
Maggie recently admitted that her “entire life has changed” as a result of her Oscar nomination.
‘The Lost Daughter’ has been nominated for the Best Adapted Screenplay gong at the upcoming ceremony, and Maggie admits it’s a landmark moment in her career.
She shared: “It feels like my entire life has totally changed.
“My favourite part of the whole [awards season experience] has been meeting people whose films I love, hearing from people who have way more experience than I do, how they’re thinking about film, what they’re working on, how they work. It’s really been cool; I’m being included in that community.”
Maggie also acknowledged that the landscape for women in the film industry is slowly improving.
She said: “I think a conscious effort is being made in our industry to make more space for us. As a united group, we are very powerful.”

Alec Baldwin ‘to make acting comeback in 2 Italian movies’

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Alec Baldwin is set to make his movie comeback in two Italian Christmas comedies, five months after the tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of ‘Rust’.
The 63-year-old star and his brother William Baldwin are said to be heading to Italy to film live-action animation-comedies ‘Kid Santa’ and ‘Billie’s Magic World’.
According to Deadline, the Baldwins will appear in the live-action segments of the two movies.
Alec will join forces with filmmaker Francesco Cinquemani, who directed him in 2015 sci-fi film ‘Andron’.
Earlier this month, Alec insisted he is not “culpable” for Halyna’s death.
He has filed an arbitration demand claiming his contract protects him from financial responsibility in the death of the cinematographer, who was killed when a gun went off on the set of movie ‘Rust’ last October, and in the paperwork he stressed that the events leading up to the tragedy had nothing to do with him.
Court documents state: “This is a rare instance when the system broke down, and someone should be held legally culpable for the tragic consequences. That person is not Alec Baldwin.”
Alec – who is among the defendants in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Halyna’s family – insisted he wasn’t “reckless” on the set, having previously denied pulling the trigger on the gun, and blamed armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, and assistant director Dave Halls for telling him the weapon didn’t have live rounds, and also mentioned Seth Kenney, who had supplied the ammunition for the movie.
The arbitration demand sent to producers stated: “Immediately before the handoff to Baldwin, upon information and belief, Halls had taken the gun off a prop 2 cart after it had been loaded by the set’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the person responsible for gun safety and managing the operation of firearm-related props on the set.
“Reed claims to have personally checked all of the rounds to ensure that they weren’t ‘hot’ and then loaded them into the pistol. Halls ‘later told an investigator that, after [Reed] opened the gun for him to inspect, he did not check all of the rounds as he should have before he handed it to … Baldwin…
“At this point, two things are clear: someone is culpable for chambering the live round that led to this horrific tragedy, and it is someone other than Baldwin.
“Baldwin is an actor. He didn’t announce that the gun was ‘cold’ when it really contained a live round; he didn’t load the gun; he didn’t check the bullets in the gun; he didn’t purchase the bullets; he didn’t make the bullets and represent that they were dummies; he wasn’t in charge of firearm safety on the set; he didn’t hire the people who supplied the bullets or checked the gun; and he played no role in managing the movie’s props. Each of those jobs was performed by someone else.”
Alec dismissed reports he had refused weapons training on the set, and said he returned $100,000 of his $250,000 fee for the movie, but had wanted to complete the film to honour Halyna and also took it upon himself to “provide [the Hutchins family] redress for their loss”.

Nicolas Cage would ‘love’ to play Ghost Rider in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicolas Cage would “love” to appear in ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’.
The ‘Ghost Rider’ actor has responded to rumours he could reprise the role of Johnny Blaze and his superhero alter ego – who he played in the 2006 movie and its 2011 sequel ‘Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance’ – in the upcoming Marvel blockbuster starring Benedict Cumberbatch.
He told GQ magazine: “Oh, I don’t think so. I don’t think they’re casting me. I mean, I would do it.
“It would be fun. I’d love to work with Cumberbatch, but I don’t think that’s happening.”
Meanwhile, the 58-year-old star has made it clear he doesn’t agree with his uncle Francis Ford Coppola or filmmaker Martin Scorsese when it comes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Coppola previously backed Scorsese’s critique of comic book films and their impact on the film industry, insisting it’s “despicable” that Hollywood values money over art.
He argued: “There used to be studio films. Now there are Marvel pictures. And what is a Marvel picture?
“A Marvel picture is one prototype movie that is made over and over and over and over and over again to look different.”
However, Cage has defended the big budget blockbusters and insisted there is no “conflict” between different genres of cinema.
He added: “I think that the movies that I make, like ‘Pig’ or ‘Joe,’ are not in any kind of conflict with Marvel movies.
“I mean, I don’t think the Marvel movie had anything to do with the end of the tweener. By tweener, I mean the $30 to $50 million budget movie. I think movies are in good shape.”
And he described Marvel as “wholesome entertainment” for the entire family, noting he doesn’t see any “issue” with it.
He said: “What could be wrong with wholesome entertainment that is appealing to the parents and the children, and gives people something to look forward to? I just, I don’t see what the issue is.”
