OHMYGOSSIP — Gigi Hadid has seemingly confirmed she and Zayn Malik are back togther. The 23-year-old model attended the world premiere of ‘Ocean’s 8’ with her friend Lily Aldridge in New York on Tuesday (05.06.18) evening, and after the event, she headed home to spend some quality time with the singer, who she split from in March after two years together, iol.co.za mediates.
In a post to her Instagram Stories, Zayn’s face wasn’t visible but his tattoos and short blond buzz cut were instantly recognisable as Gigi rested her head in his lap while he used an iPad.
Gigi added Pokémon gifs and a heart emoji and captioned the image: “After party like making it rain Pokémon cards.”
The blonde beauty’s post came a few weeks after she and the 25-year-old singer were photographed kissing in the street, fuelling speculation they had got back together.
Meanwhile, the couple previously announced their separation on Twitter. The ‘Let Me’ singer wrote: “Gigi and I had an incredibly meaningful, loving and fun relationship and I have a huge amount of respect and adoration for Gigi as a woman and friend. She has such an incredible soul. I’m grateful to all of our fans for respecting this difficult decision and our privacy at this time; we wish this news could have come from us first. We love you all.”
And Gigi posted: “Break-up statements often seem impersonal because there is really no way to put into words what two people experience over a few years…not only in the relationship, but in life in general. I’m forever grateful for the love, time, and life lessons that Z and I shared. I want nothing but the best for him and will continue to support him as a friend that I have immense respect and love for. As for the future, whatever’s meant to be will be.”
OHMYGOSSIP – Self made Billionaire Jeff Greene and his wife, Mei Sze Chan, are Giving Pledge signatories, so at least the half of their wealth will eventually go to philanthropy. For now, Greene’s philanthropy is hard to track, particularly because the status of the couple’s foundation is unclear.
Jeff Greene and his wife Mei Sze Chan
NET WORTH: $3.8 billion
SOURCE OF WEALTH: Real estate investments
FUNDING AREAS: Florida Community, Policy, Jewish Causes, Arts, TBD
BACKGROUND: Jeff Greene is the son of working-class parents from Massachusetts. Greene got into Johns Hopkins and worked his way through. He later traveled the country selling circus tickets to pay for Harvard Business School. He bought his first house as a grad student, renting out rooms. He had 18 properties when he graduated. Jeff Greene became a billionaire by buying credit default swaps on subprime mortgage-backed bonds as housing crashed. Most of his fortune is now held in equities and other investments plus real estate in Los Angeles and Palm Beach.
ISSUES:
FLORIDA COMMUNITY: Greene and Mei Sze founded the Greene School in Palm Beach (2001 S Dixie Hwy, West Palm Beach, FL 33401, United States), “dedicated to empowering high-performing students to be adaptive, confident and productive stewards of an evolving world.” Around 80 students attend the pre-k to 8th-grade school, which opened in fall 2016. The couple both sit on the board of the school.
Greene has given modest sums to other cultural and civic institutions in South and Central Florida, including the Everglades Foundation, and the Central Florida YMCA Foundation. Greene and Mei Sze hosted a reception of the Palm Beach Police Foundation’s Policeman’s Ball in their home. Greene sits on the board of the Palm Beach Police Foundation, whose mission includes providing scholarships and grants for police department family members.
POLICY: Greene established the Greene Institute a few years ago, which focuses on inequality, education, and health. The Greene Institute’s Closing the Gap Conference brings together high-profile academics and political leaders to discuss the importance of maintaining a skilled middle class. As Greene put it, “Unless we take action, the combination of technological trends and our ongoing failure to keep pace with competing industrialized countries in education will only accelerate the systemic fractures in our economy. This will destroy the middle class.”
JEWISH CAUSES: Grantees include Jewish Federation of Palm Beach. Jewish causes are likely a priority of Greene’s, not only because of his Hebrew-school-teacher mother but because he himself was a Hebrew school teacher, one of the many jobs he took on while putting himself through school.
ARTS: Greene also appears to have some interest in art, with steady giving to the Perlman Music Program in New York. The outfit supports young talented string players. Greene and Mei Sze are honorary chairs at the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, though it’s unclear if the couple have supported that outfit financially.
LOOKING FORWARD: Though the couple’s family foundation remains opaque, they have ramped up their profile in recent years with a school and the nonprofit Greene Institute. This suggests that education and policy (particularly income inequality) could remain high priorities as the couple’s giving kicks into high gear. Another area worth keeping an eye on is health. Greene’s father repeatedly fell on hard times and died of a heart attack at age 51. Another factor here is Greene’s wife, Mei Sze, a Chinese woman who fled Malaysia to live in Australia. Perhaps some global development philanthropy will occur down the line as well.

OHMYGOSSIP — A$AP Rocky has revealed his desire to work with Morrissey. The 29-year-old rapper has been known to collaborate with some unexpected names, having previously worked with the likes of Rod Stewart on his track ‘Everyday’, and he has now expressed a wish to team up with former Smiths frontman Morrissey on some “emo” music.
He said: “I might have to f**k with Morrissey on some Smiths s**t. Make some emo, real, retro-infusion, motherf***ing 2018 s**t, man.”
The ‘L$D’ hitmaker also spoke about his upcoming album ‘Testing’, which serves as his third studio venture and is the follow-up to 2015’s ‘At. Long. Last. ASAP’.
Rocky revealed he has been “experimenting in a more calculated way” for the record, which is yet to have been given a release date.
Speaking on the debut episode of ‘Open Late’, the star said: “I wanna take a different approach and challenge the viewer whose tired of hearing the same old s**t. This s**t is cliché at this point. I’m trying to test my viewers and listeners to see if they ready to grow with me.
“This is going to be an amazing f***ing album. I’m going to hopefully change a lot of people’s lives again, and hopefully people will make better music, and inspire me to make even better music.”
Rocky has been releasing a steady stream of new music in recent months, including the new track ‘Bad Company’ which he put out in March. The track followed three new songs which arrived within a week of each other back in January.
As of the time of writing, it is unknown whether these tracks will appear on his upcoming album.
OHMYGOSSIP – Estella Elisheva is an 11-year-old girl from Tallinn who already knows today that in the future she will become a violinist. “I am very fond of music, especially classical music,” tells the young music friend from Tallinn Jewish School to OHMYGOSSIPteen.
„When I grow up I wish to become a violinist or an opera singer, or both. I would love to be a solo artist as well as perform with an orchestra. However, at the moment I am still very young and these are grand future plans. I like to practice, and sometimes my friend would not understand why I do not go out to play with them, it is because I practice.”
Estella Elisheva is a versatile girl and besides playing the violin she also has other hobbies. „I actually have quite many hobbies. I like to sing and for many years I have taken ballroom dancing lessons. And whenever I sing, I like to sing the opera. My voice breadth is quite good and it goes quite high up. For example the Phantom of the Opera I can sing up until the highest note. And it is a matter of practice, I have not trained my voice properly, only once in a while at home for my own sake. In addition to that I like art, drawing and theatre! The latter is really high standard in Estonia. Both Tartu and Tallinn theatres are visited by world renown artists and seeing them perform is very delightful. I sometimes skip a schoolday to go to the theatre or to practice the violin. I am looking forward to seeing the opera „Carmen” once more in Vanemuise theatre hall. And I wouldn’t get tired of seeing the Phantom of the Opera!”
Estella Elisheva, having given many minor concerts, says that a serious concert isn’t something she would consider before graduating from music school. „I publish posts of me playing the violin to Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter and I am glad to see that many people like that, however, I still got the feeling that there is plenty, plenty of room for progress. Perhaps I am okay for an 11-year-old, but I wouldn’t wanna play the noted classics in a fashion that makes them turn in their grave,” laughs Estella Elisheva.
OHMYGOSSIP — Ariel Winter is taking a break from college. The 20-year-old actress started studying political science at UCLA last year – after previously deferring for a year – but she is taking time off to “pursue” her acting career, HMVnews mediates.
She said: “I do love UCLA, but at the moment I’m taking a break from it so I can continue to pursue my career and also try to have a little bit more of a life because I’ve been so busy. That’s really it at the moment. But I think education’s really important. I love being there. I love learning. I will continue to keep learning and I just wanted to take a break to focus on myself and square some things with myself.”
Ariel Winter – who portrays Alex Dunphy in the comedy series – is hoping to broaden her horizons by appearing in further films. She said: “I would hope to do more movies. Really anything that comes my way that speaks to me or feels rights, something, a new character I haven’t done before. I’m pretty open. I like doing different things. I like trying things, so for me, it’s really whatever happens.”
Ariel’s latest motion picture sees her appear as wildchild Lil in ‘The Last Movie Star’, and she enjoys portraying characters who are different to her ‘Modern Family’ alter-ego.
Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight’, she added: “Doing something different is definitely intentional for me because I want to broaden my horizons and I want to do more movies and I would like to do different things, because I’ve been doing this show for 10 years next year. So I definitely want to do new things.”
OHMYGOSSIP — Kate Hudson wants to improve the workplace for women. The 38-year-old actress and entrepreneur launched her athleisure brand Fabletics with TechStyle in 2013 and it has quickly become one of the fashion group’s best-selling brands, with over one million members and shipping to 10 countries worldwide, but the ‘Bride Wars’ star wants all businesses to reflect the Time’s Up movement which takes action against sexual harassment in the entertainment industry.
Speaking in London during a Q&A organized by the British Fashion Council, she explained: “On the heels of what happened, we got together to see what we can do to create a movement for all women in all workplaces. It’s not just about Hollywood, the justice system is the way to fight a cause.”
Kate Hudson (38) – who is the daughter of actress Goldie Hawn (72) – originally wanted to create a dress line, but thought athletic wear would make more sense to the fans who will buy her products because of her interest in leading a fun and healthy lifestyle.
She explained: “I first thought I was going to be doing dresses, but when I sat down and thought about what I could offer to a company and to my partners, athletic wear made a lot of sense. It was about taking away the stigma that you have to be a crazy yogi or an athlete to wear printed leggings. The collections resonated quickly because they brought a sense of fun while still incorporating the right technology.”
Fabletics offers a subscription service to customers who pay a monthly fee which is redeemable against the products, and can be cancelled at any time, and although Kate says the unique business model was confusing at first, she believes it’s one of the reasons the brand has been so successful and means she can take “more risks” with the designs she creates.
She said: “It became more like a membership, and now the platform offers more flexibility,” said Hudson. “It was confusing at the beginning but we cleared it all up and everyone is now following suit. It also means we can take more risks than if we were seasonal. We tend to try new designs with small buys and they often end up becoming our bestsellers.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Tori Spelling is in “a tough place” at the moment. The star was reported to be having serious troubles after police were called to the Woodland Hills home she shares with her husband Dean McDermott last week. According to the dispatch message -obtained by ‘Entertainment Tonight’ – authorities responded to a “female mental illness” call at the house and insiders believe Tori is going through some difficulties right now.
A source told PEOPLE: “The last year has been really tough on Tori. She has a ton of pressure and stress, with the kids, work and her marriage. [She] internalises a lot of her anxiety and she knows it’s not healthy for her. Of course, she’s going to get to a breaking point eventually. Tori and Dean have their ups and downs but they love each other and family is most important to both of them.”
Officer Drake Madison told PEOPLE the situation was a “domestic incident” and that “no crime” was committed. The ‘Beverly Hills 90210’ star – who has 10-year-old Liam, nine-year-old Stella, six-year-old Hattie, five-year-old Finn and 12-month-old Beau with Dean – is reportedly dealing with mounting pressure at the moment.
In 2016, Tori was sued by American Express for $87,000 in credit card debt, after having already faced a lawsuit for an unpaid $38,000 bill from the credit card company – which she was ordered to pay in full along with $855 in court fees – earlier that year, and sources claim the pressure of her debts have taken its toll on the star.
An insider told Entertainment Tonight: “There are several things that led up to this, and she really couldn’t take the pressure any longer. Tori tries to be the best mom she can be, but with five children and terrible financial issues, her marriage has suffered tremendously. The burden has landed on Tori. [Her mother] Candy allowed them to borrow [money] and [Tori] is in no place at the moment to pay her mother back. [She is] so overwhelmed. She spent weeks at home alone with her family. She has not been active on her social media and also stopped talking to almost all her friends.”
However, Tori made a return to Instagram on Friday (02.03.18) to celebrate Beau’s first birthday. She did not make reference to the incident at her home but posted a sweet video of Beau and wrote: “#BeauBeau1 Happy 1st Birthday! Did he just say Beau or Birthday? Ha ha… Daddy @imdeanmcdermott and I Love You SO much!! (sic).”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Lawrence wants to date Timothée Chalamet. The 27-year-old actress thinks the ‘Call Me By Your Name’ star is “hot”, but, at 22, he’s currently a little bit too young for her.
She told Entertainment Tonight: “Timothée, I’m waiting for him to get a little bit older, you know? [I’m] buttering him up like a pig for slaughter, and then I’m going to swing right in there as soon as he’s, like, 30. He’s old enough to say that, right? He’s over 18? What if I was like, ‘He’s hot!’ and he’s 15?’ I didn’t realise he was so young. Tell him to wait!… [He’s] so, so talented and hot!”
The ‘Red Sparrow’ actress may be in luck because the ‘Lady Bird’ actor recently admitted he was a big fan of hers but felt nervous in her presence. Speaking at the Golden Globe awards last month, Timothée said: If I saw Jennifer Lawrence — I already met her, so I don’t know why I would still be geeking out — I would totally be as starstruck as if it was the first time.”
The ‘Hunger Games’ actress – who previously dated the likes of Coldplay’s Chris Martin, 40, and her ‘Mother!’ director Darren Aronofsky, 49 – recently claimed she is currently in “single mode” but predicted she’ll soon be feeling lonely without a partner. She said: “I am in the single mode where I am like, ‘Cool, I can do whatever I want and I can be alone and watch terrible TV.’ And then, of course, in a few months I will be devastatingly lonely and feel like I’m on some long waiting list. But I am not there yet.”
OHMYGOSSIP — Eva Longoria will make a great mother. The ‘Desperate Housewives’ star – who is six months pregnant with her husband José ‘Pepe’ Antonio Bastón’s baby – is such a “caring and motherly person already” and will be great with her future baby, according to her pals.
A friend said: “Eva is such a caring and motherly person already. She’s always looking out for those around her and going out of her way to help people. She comes from the most nurturing family and can’t wait to pass that along to her baby. Eva and Pepe are already great parents to their three kids. One of the reasons Eva fell in love with Pepe is that he’s an amazing father. Seeing him with his kids lit a spark in her to want to get pregnant.”
Eva has always been around children and will be a “natural” when it comes to motherhood. Another source added to People magazine: “Eva is used to being around babies. She always looked like a natural. There is no doubt she will be an amazing mom. Eva always had a different, amazing chemistry with Jose. Previous guys that she dated were boys. Jose is a family man, a successful businessman and seems more mature. It’s very obvious they have a special marriage. They always walk around hand-in-hand and are very affectionate. Jose is very attentive and puts Eva on a pedestal. He treats her in a very special way.”
It comes after an insider revealed Eva had never “focused on” having children of her own until she met José’s kids. They shared: “She loves kids, but it’s not something she focused on. Meeting Pepe and becoming a stepmom made her more open to the idea. She loves his kids and now they’re really excited to be expanding the family.”
OHMYGOSSIP — Meghan Markle is reportedly receiving etiquette lessons in preparation for joining the royal family. The 36-year-old actress will become a member of the famous family when she ties the knot with Prince Harry in May this year, and whilst she won’t become Princess Meghan – as that title is reserved for blood relatives of the monarch – she will still be expected to follow a particular set of etiquette rules, Express.co.uk mediates.
According to sources, the former ‘Suits’ actress is learning skills such as table manners, how to dress, how to socialise with foreign diplomats, and how to climb out of a vehicle with “royal grace”.
A source said: “Meghan is on a crash course with a trusted coach used by the royals. First on the list is silver service – she must be able to tell a fish knife from her butter knife, know how to handle seafood, drink soup and so on. There’ll be no stone unturned as in less than 12 weeks all eyes will be on her – there is no room for error.”
Meghan is also reportedly taking elocution lessons to soften her American accent, and will be expected to learn British terminology so as to avoid potential gaffes over Americanisms.
The source added to the Daily Star newspaper: “Elocution lessons will also feature. Meghan’s American twang will be softened and toned down. But more essential is her switching to British terminology – she simply cannot be ‘taking out the trash’ and ‘wearing pants’.
“It’s the fine tuning needed to ensure she’s not lost in translation. Harry has been brought up living and breathing all this. He has a lifetime of nurturing and breeding behind him but Meghan has a matter of weeks to learn what she needs to be accepted at the royal court.
“If she was left without guidance, the marriage would begin in the same vein as Diana and Charles – with the bride feeling helpless and alone.”
OHMYGOSSIP — Anna Wintour will skip this year’s Vanity Fair Oscars party. The 68-year-old Vogue editor had been expected to attend the star-studded bash and was even tipped to take control of the much-anticipated party on March 4 after veteran Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter retired in December – but she will instead be attending fashion shows in Paris, Page Six mediates.
An insider told the New York Post newspaper: “The party will be pretty much the same as last year and the year before. Same venue. Same team organising it.”
Although the party still attracts some of Hollywood’s most recognisable faces, it is said to have lost some of its sparkle in recent years. It’s been suggested that its declining popularity stems from the decision to move the bash from Morton’s to Sunset Tower Hotel to the Wallis Annenberg Center on Santa Monica Boulevard.
The source explained: “The guest list has grown from 800 to 3,500, and the big stars still come, but they don’t stay. They get their picture taken, and then head off to other parties. Madonna’s [party] is the hottest ticket.”
Meanwhile, during an interview published in 2017, Academy Award-winning actress Meryl Streep teased Anna about her role in ‘The Devil Wears Prada’. The actress stars as Miranda Priestly – a powerful fashion editor who is widely believed to have been inspired by Anna – in the movie. During their chat about Meryl’s career in the movie business, Anna casually asks: “Obviously you’ve played a lot of extraordinary women. What was the most challenging woman you ever played?”
To which Meryl – who appeared in the 2006 comedy-drama alongside the likes of Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt – quipped: “Oh, I should say [you]!” At that point, Anna quickly responded: “No, no, we’re not going to go there, Meryl.”
