Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez host engagement party with VIP guests aboard the billionaire’s superyacht

OHMYGOSSIP — Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez held a lavish engagement party with a select group of friends aboard the billionaire’s $500 million superyacht on Wednesday (02.08.23).

The Amazon founder, 59, and his 53-year-old media personality wife-to-be were joined by Microsoft founder Bill Gates and his partner Paula Hurd, Wendi Murdoch – the ex-wife of media mogul Rupert Murdoch – and socialite Fabiola Beracasa Beckman for the “intimate” affair abord the Bezos’ beloved Kora in the breathtaking Positano, Italy, according to Page Six.

Last week, Jeff and Lauren sailed around Capri in the luxury vessel – which features a sculpture on the bow that looks like his partner.

Jeff proposed to the former broadcaster aboard Kora off the coast of Cannes in May.

The loved-up pair were sailing around the Mediterranean on the superyacht and Lauren was seen with a dazzling diamond ring on her wedding ring finger as they docked in Cannes and packed on the PDA.

A source told the New York Post’s Page Six column at the time: “They were all over each other. I mean, they’re always affectionate, but they could not keep their hands off each other.”

Another said: “They were telling everyone they were engaged, they were so excited, they are completely in love.”

A source speculated about their wedding: “I can’t imagine it will be quiet — I think it will be a Who’s Who of people.”

Jeff and Lauren have been dating since 2019, but first met in 2016, while she was still married to Patrick Whitesell, who introduced the pair, and the business magnate was with the mother of his four children, MacKenzie Scott Tuttle.

Lauren previously gave an insight into their romance and gushed that he has a “goofy” sense of humour.
The former reporter admitted it is always easy to find her partner if they get separated at parties because of his distinctive laugh and she’s always found him “really funny”.

She told the Wall Street Journal: “He’s really funny. He makes me laugh all the time. He can be goofy. When I first heard his laugh, I was like, ‘Whoa! What is that?’ Now I love it. And if I’m at a party and we get separated, all I have to do is wait a second and he laughs and it’s like, he’s over there.”

But it isn’t often the couple do get separated because Lauren admitted she and the businessman are “together all the time”.

She said: “We love to be together and we love to work together. We fly together. We work out together. We’re together all the time.”

Last November, the couple revealed Jeff plans to donate a significant portion of his $124 billion fortune to various charitable initiatives and Lauren is proud of his efforts.

She said: “Jeff has always told me, since I’ve known him, that he’s going to give the majority of his money to philanthropy.”

Tori Spelling’s mum Candy disables Instagram comments amid furious backlash over her daughter and kids living in RV!

OHMYGOSSIP — Tori Spelling’s mum has disabled the comments section on her Instagram posts amid a furious backlash over her actress daughter and her five children living in a motorhome.

‘Beverly Hills, 90210’ star Tori, 50 – who has children Liam, 16, Stella, 15, Hattie, 11, Finn, 10, and Beau, six, with ‘Due South’ actor Dean McDermott, 56 – has been spotted living in an RV with her kids, and fans have been blasting her 77-year-old mum online ever since for not giving her more cash or buying her daughter and grandkids a house.

When news broke Tori had been photographed in the vehicle with her kids in Ventura County, California, Candy seemingly ignored the headlines by sharing a shot of her “blooming” rose garden.

Tori’s fans branded her “shameful” and “selfish”, and on Friday (04.08.23) it emerged she has disabled their remarks, making them no longer visible on her Instagram feed.

Page Six has reported Candy did recently find a home for Tori and her children to live in, but added the actress refused the house because she apparently “wanted to live in a certain place”.

When Candy was recently questioned by TMZ, she confirmed she “of course” would “financially” support Tori amid her rumoured split from Dean, and vowed to “always be there for her.”

Candy reportedly inherited $600 million when her TV producer husband Aaron Spelling died in 2006 aged 83.

Tori and her brother Randy Spelling, 44, were left only $800,000 at the time.

Tori was forced to move her family out of a rental home earlier this year after discovering an “extreme” mould infestation was causing them to suffer serious health issues – and was later seen living with her kids at $100-a-night motel.

Sources say Tori is facing “real” financial woes.

An insider told Entertainment Tonight about her latest move into an RV: “The mould situation (at her house) is real, but it has been difficult for her to find a place to stay during it because her financial situation is not great.”

They added Tori is “doing her best to make things work and take care of her kids”, and is apparently viewing her trailer park stay “as a mini vacation rather than a living situation”.

Tori was seen in Ventura County living in a Sunseeker E450 RV, which and features a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living room, according to Mail Online.

It reported the group were seen unloading possessions from the vehicle including camping chairs, a cooler, a stove and pop-up table.

Sunseeker models usually come with a living room dinette with sofas that can be turned down into beds.
After being spotted living at a motel in July, sources insisted it had nothing to do with her rumoured split from Dean.

Swedish musician Pugh Rogefeldt’s will – this is how the money will be divided

OHMYGOSSIP – Pugh Rogefeldt’s will shows that he had assets of several million kroner. The partner and the artist’s four sons will inherit, and everything will be divided in the will according to Pugh’s wishes, Expressen reports.

Anders Sture Torbjörn “Pugh” Rogefeldt (2 March 1947 – 1 May 2023) was a Swedish singer, musician, guitarist and songwriter who made his breakthrough in the late 1960s with albums such as ‘Ja, dä ä dä’ and ‘Pughish’ . Unlike most other Swedish pop musicians who wanted to achieve international success, he sang in Swedish. One song commonly associated with Rogefeldt is “Små lätta moln”. The biggest hits are “Här kommer natten”, “Fälärdralåten”, “Hog Farm”, “Dinga Linga Lena” and “Stockholm”.

Rogefeldt was a passionate admirer of the Old Norse religion, and the Norse god Thor was especially important to him. He said that rock music and Old Norse religion have common central attributes, and he tried to fuse them together on the album Hammarhjärta.

In the early 1990s, he was also a member of Grymlings with Göran Lagerberg, Mikael Rickfors and Magnus Lindberg. Rogefeldt died on May 1, 2023 at the age of 76 from corticobasal degeneration (a progressive brain disorder characterized by the loss and shrinkage of nerve cells in many areas of the brain).

OHMYGOSSIP – “Hello, I’m Aurikatariina, a 30-year-old girl from Pirkanmaa and I clean people’s homes for free,” Auri introduces herself on her website aurikacleaning.com. “I film and post cleaning videos on my TikTok, YouTube and Instagram channels. I want to show the whole world that cleaning is fun. And asking for help is worth it! Even the most seemingly impossible mess gets cleaned up! I drive around Finland and clean the homes of those who really need, free!”

Auri Kananen’s videos are popular and her channels are watched by millions of viewers, YouTube alone brought her more than half a million euros from views last year. Auri, who used to work in her mother’s cleaning company, came up with the idea of cleaning videos in 2020, when she filmed a cleaning and partly as a joke uploaded it to her Tiktok account. Then Auri founded her own cleaning company, which was already in profit with 260,000 euros in 2021. Last year, the profit was already 600,000 euros, the largest part comes from social media (YouTube and Facebook) and various social media cooperations and advertising campaigns. Kananen also participated as a judge in the program Master Cleaners Suomi, which further increased her fame.

“Money is important to me in the sense that it produces freedom. Freedom is one of the most important values for me,” the venturesome and enterprising woman told Ilta-Sanomat publication Me Naiset in April.

Now Auri is also expanding to America with her home cleaning business. She got an offer she simply couldn’t refuse. Auri revealed to Iltalehti that she will travel to Miami for three months in December. “There is a company in Miami that manages my Facebook page. They organize everything there for me,” says Auri, who, in addition to new advertising collaborations, will of course also be paid for living and travel.

OHMYGOSSIP — Keanu Reeves and Melanie Lynskey bonded at a party of photos of dogs in costumes. The ‘Yellowjackets’ star recalled how she and the ‘John Wick’ actor felt awkward at a recent showbiz bash but they were able to block out what was going on around them by looking at pet pictures. Melanie told The Big Issue magazine: “I always feel comfortable at work. But I feel less comfortable on a red carpet.”

Of being at the party with Keanu, she added: “He asked if I had any pictures of my dog in costume. It was so endearing. So sweet.

“I was so happy. Just one on a Santa costume, but it was enough for Keanu Reeves.”
Meanwhile, while shooting ‘Yellowjackets’ under COVID restrictions, Melanie and he castmates, including Juliette Lewis and Christina Ricci, bonded via a video sharing app.

She explained: “There were pretty strict COVID rules so we weren’t hanging out much but we got to know each other my doing Marco Polos. It’s an app where you leave a video message, and the next person adds theirs like a chain. I would look at my phone and have an hour of videos to watch while I did the dishes. That was how we shared our stories…

“If anyone was able to hack into our Marco Polos… We talked about whether we should delete them just in case. But I love having them.

“It was an amazing way to get to know everyone.”
Melanie, Christina and Juliette all found fame at an early age, so the New Zealander thinks their casting as the older counterparts of the younger cast in ‘Yellowjackets’ to be very “interesting”.

She said: “There was something interesting about our casting. Because it does, somewhere in people’s subconscious, put the idea of having known us as teenagers. People are somewhat familiar with me as a young person and very familiar with Christina and Juliet.”

INTERVIEW: Ready to be spooked? Introducing horrorcore rapper Russ Tafari

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP – Russ Tafari is a horrorcore rapper and American singer/songwriter known for his dark and horror-themed music. In an interview with OHMYGOSSIP, he shares insights into his music career and inspirations. Russ Tafari, originally from Michigan and currently residing in Louisiana, has been making music for around 26 years. He creates dark rap or horrorcore music as a tribute to his lifelong love for horror movies.

Halloween is your favorite holiday? You talk about Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers and Freddy Krueger nonstop? If so, then here is the artist still missing from the big picture. 42-year old Tafari is a horror influencer who just released his new single “Creature”. He takes horror to the next level.

To the question why does he perform dark rap, he answers: “Honestly I wouldn’t even call what I do as rap anymore. I make dark music or horrorcore because I have loved horror movies all my life. This is my contribution to horror entertainment.”

His music does not convey a specific message but is open to interpretation, always revolving around the horror genre. Russ draws inspiration from horror movies and 80’s nostalgia. “I never try to push a message with my music. I prefer the listener leaves it to their own interpretation. The only thing that I will imply is that it is all related to horror in some way. Horror movies and 80’s nostalgia mostly inspire me”

“Anyone that loves horror movies that also likes good music and wants to hear something different,” Russ tells Ohmygossip.com that his target audience includes horror movie enthusiasts who appreciate unique and quality music..

 

Russ Tafari has launched a successful brand under his own name, under which he sells shirts, sweatshirts, mugs, flip-flops and other fan merchandise to fans and followers in addition to music.

He produces his own music, occasionally using the producer name Underground Mastermind. “I create every song 100% from scratch. I occasionally use the producer name Underground Mastermind in the credits.”

While he has collaborated with artists such as 3HMB, Russ primarily prefers working as a solo artist.

What have been his favorite collabs? “Any collab that I’ve done with 3HMB. He’s also an artist/producer that I have known close to 20 years now. I rarely do collabs though. I prefer not to work with anyone. I’ve been working as a solo artist for many years now.”

He started his music career in the rap group called The Kutthroat Krew when he was still in high school. They released one album. Later formed a horrorcore rap group called The Burning Legion before becoming a solo artist. “A few years later I formed a horrorcore rap group called The Burning Legion or TBL for short. Since the breakup of that group (2008) I’ve been working as a solo artist under the name Russ Tafari.”

Some notable songs in his discography include “In My Dungeon,” “Go Bye Bye,” and “Kentucky.” “All of my songs are my children though so picking favorites is hard,” he tells when we ask him to name his favorite songs fo the music he wrote himself.

But what are his preferences for other artists? What’s the music that he himself listen to? Who have been his idols in music?

Russ Tafari has a diverse taste in music, ranging from 80’s new wave to metalcore and pop punk, and counts artists like Depeche Mode, White Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Hatebreed, Pantera, and Hall and Oats among his favorites.


His musical idols include Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson. “First Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails because he was able to breakthrough mainstream culture as a one man band all while bringing a new genre to the masses. Second would be Marilyn Manson because when the music video for Sweet Dreams came out I had seen nothing like it. I was very intrigued by the dark creepy imagery.”

While Russ does not make a significant income from music alone, he also works a day job. His average day consists of taking care of his children, working to support his family, and dedicating time to music when possible. “I currently don’t make very much money from music so I must also work a job,” he tells and adds examples from his everyday life: “Wake up, get my kids ready and send them off to school. Work all day to pay the bills. Sometimes I have a little time for music. Pick up my kids, spend the afternoon with them, put them to bed and go back to work. Then I go to bed and do it all over again the next day.”

Despite being an American artist, Russ has found a substantial fan base outside of America. “I’ve found most of my biggest fans are outside of America. I would just like to say that I truly appreciate all the support!” He expresses gratitude for the support of his fans and can be found online on his official website and major social media platforms. His music is available on platforms like Solo.to.

OHMYGOSSIP – Jorma Pulkkinen is a well-known TV personality, host and motorsport enthusiast, who has been a household name in Finland since the 1980s. At the age of 83, Jorma has been caring for his wife Anna-Liisa, 82, for the past three years as her full-time caregiver. The couple has been married for 62 years and are currently on the search for a new home that can better accommodate their current needs.

Jorma Pulkkinen, the beloved TV personality and motorsport enthusiast, has been caring for his wife Anna-Liisa for the past three years as her full-time caregiver. The couple, who have been married for 62 years, currently live in a second-floor apartment in Kaivoksela, but the challenges of living and moving around in a multi-story building have become too difficult to manage.

As a result, Jorma is actively searching for a small single-family home within a 50-kilometer radius of Kaivoksela. He is using word of mouth and social media to search for potential homes and is open to receiving inquiries.

“Anna-Liisa has been suffering from memory loss for the past three years. She struggles to remember things like time, names, money, and other everyday tasks,” Jorma explains to Iltalehti. “But the biggest challenge is her dizziness. I am her full-time caregiver, working 24 hours a day. A small single-family home in a location that’s easy to move around in would be ideal. It would make it easier for us to go outside and move around without the need to navigate stairs and multiple doors.”

Despite the challenges, Jorma expresses his gratitude and happiness for their shared journey together. He also mentions that due to his wife’s health condition, they had to give up their beloved Spanish home, where they had spent 36 years of their lives and served as a sanctuary during the dark Finnish winters.

“We had been spending our winters in Spain for 36 years and it was a difficult decision to give it up, but we had grown tired of it and it was time for a change,” Jorma reflects. “Although I do miss it sometimes, I am happy to be able to take care of my wife and make sure she is comfortable.”

Jorma’s career as a TV host and presenter began in the 1980s and he quickly became a household name in Finland. He hosted the popular shows Ruutuysi and Ruutuässä on Kolmoskanava and MTV3, and was also known for hosting the Kultainen harmonikka competition in the 1980s and 1990s.

King Charles III pays tribute to his late mother Queen Elizabeth II

By

OHMYGOSSIP — King Charles has paid tribute to his late mother. He will now be known as King Charles III after Queen Elizabeth II died aged 96 on Thursday (08.09.22) after her record 70-year reign.

The eldest son of the Queen – who at 73 will be the oldest monarch to take the throne in Britain – hailed his mother’s passing as “a moment of the greatest sadness” in a message titled: “A statement from his Majesty the King at the time of the Queen’s death”.

He said: “The death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty the Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family.

“We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world. During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which the Queen was so widely held.”

The statement from Buckingham Palace was signed off with Thursday’s date and no official title for Charles.

But the new Prime Minister Liz Truss referred to him as King Charles III in her Press announcement about the Queen’s passing on Thursday evening.

Buckingham Palace had earlier referred to his wife Camilla, 75, as Queen Consort – a title bestowed upon her by Charles’ late mother in February.

The King’s 96-year-old mother passed away “peacefully” at her Balmoral estate on Thursday afternoon, Buckingham Palace confirmed.

A message on the official royal family website said: “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.

“The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.”

Earlier in the day, it had been revealed doctors had grown “concerned” for the Queen’s health and she was placed under “medical supervision”.

Buckingham Palace said in a statement: “Following further evaluation this morning, the Queen’s doctors are concerned for Her Majesty’s health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision.
“The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral.”

Queen Elizabeth has died

OHMYGOSSIP — Queen Elizabeth has died. The 96-year-old monarch passed away “peacefully” at her Balmoral estate on Thursday (08.09.22) afternoon, Buckingham Palace have confirmed. Her son, Prince Charles, becomes King immediately following her death.

A message on the official royal family website read: “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. “The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.

Earlier in the day, it had been revealed doctors had grown “concerned” for the queen’s health and she was placed under “medical supervision”.

Buckingham Palace said in a statement: “Following further evaluation this morning, the Queen’s doctors are concerned for Her Majesty’s health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision.
“The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral.”

After the statement was released, it was revealed the queen’s children, Princes Charles, Andrew and Edward, and Princess Anne, were either already at the Scottish estate or travelling there, as were Princes William and Harry, Duchess of Cambridge, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, and Sophie, Countess of Wessex.

Last October, the queen – whose husband Prince Philip passed away in April 2021 aged 99 – took a break from the public eye after being hospitalised for an undisclosed condition and then suffering a back sprain, with doctors advising her to rest.

She spent several months of light duties involving private meetings and virtual audiences before returning to public duties with a walking stick.

In February, she contracted COVID-19 and was said to be experiencing “mild, cold-like symptoms” but caused concern when she pulled out of a number of virtual appointments.

During her official Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June, the queen made two appearances on the Buckingham Palace balcony during Trooping the Colour and a third, unannounced, appearance at the Platinum Pageant.

Her final official duties were audiences with departing Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his successor, new leader Liz Truss.

In a break with tradition, both politicians travelled to Balmoral for the ceremonies, marking the first time the meetings have taken place outside of Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle.
The queen is survived by her children, Charles, Anne, Andrew, and Edward, and eight grandchildren,
Prince William, Prince Harry, Peter Phillips, Zara Phillips, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Lady Louse Windsor and James, Viscount Severn.

She also had 12 great-grandchildren – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, Archie and Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor, Savannah and Isla Philips, Mia, Lena, and Lucas Tindall, August Brooksbank, and Sienna Mapelli Mozzi.

Eight months have gone by quickly and actively.

ERM hosted the exhibition of 14 mice series paintings and visitors were able to listen to the first chapter from my children’s book “His Highness Mouse the First”.

This year, in addition to other tasks, I will proceed with writing the book and painting. I want the paintings to illustrate the book that will be published and they will also decorate the walls of our home in the children’s rooms. As you can see, this painting is also currently not signed yet. This is because first I will have the paintings saved on a USB, to be used as illustrations for the book, and then I will sign the paintings and put them in a frame.



“His Highness Mouse the First” seeries painting nr. 15, Helena-Reet Ennet (January 2022)

The painting series “His Highness Mouse the First” is the greatest art project in my life. When I met Allan on April 22nd 2020 in Palivere (Western Nigula parish in Estonia), I still didn’t know that he would be my inspiration and that he would be my life partner, the new love of my life, an endless source of inspiration! 🥰😘💘 Palivere is also the birthplace of the main character, mouse boy Ivar. In the beginning of January, the fifteenth painting from the mice series was completed.

Mouse boy Ivar Apodemus and his activities do not equal Allan with his activities, yet Allan with his warm aura, energy and love has been the source of inspiration and support for me while writing and painting. It has been in quite many of the paintings that the idea stemmed from photos of him, and I have tried to convey his posture.



How did this painting come into being?
For me the year began very actively and positively and yesterday I decided that I will paint again! But what should I paint? First, I was keen on doing another flower painting, but then I made up my mind that I will do a mouse painting instead. I would very much wish to publish the children’s book already within the year 2022. The weather was snowy and Allan went outside to plow the snow. I remembered at once that last year I took lots of pictures of the garden and of Allan plowing the snow, and so I decided to paint a mouse and a snow shovel.

Below you can see pictures from my home in Saku, Murimäe Road, and pictures of Allan, which were the source of inspiration for the most recent painting. Meanwhile, Allan was waving at me from outside, and sending kisses, and I put all that warm feeling in the painting 🙂 So, such is the story of this painting. All of my mice series paintings have so far been painted with acrylic (portrait orientation canvas) and in the size 30x40cm.
