Scarlett Johansson dedicates award to Armed Forces

OHMYGOSSIP — Scarlett Johansson dedicated her People’s Choice Award win to the Armed Forces.
The ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ star honoured the tireless work of the men and women of the US forces as she took home the top prize at the ceremony at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California on Sunday (11.11.18).
Collecting the Female Movie Star of 2018 award, she said: “I love my job because it not only allowed me to connect with myself, but it allows me to connect with the audience, and so I really dedicate this to all of you and I also dedicate this to the men and women of the Armed Forces who put their lives on the line every day so that we don’t have to. Thank you, thank you, thank you very much.”
Scarlett is really career driven and previously insisted motherhood hasn’t changed her working life.
The ‘Ghost in the Shell’ actress – who has four-year-old daughter Rose with ex-husband Romain Dauriac – said: “I have a job that’s very advantageous in that way. I can parent and then go do the scene and go back and parent. There’s a bit of back and forth, but it works. [Has it changed what work I do?] It hasn’t but it might in a few years. Again, it’s a job that works with you. I have a freedom that others don’t, so I’m grateful.”
And though Scarlett feels her daughter is too young to watch any of her movies just yet, she is mindful of the fact she will want to see them one day so wants to set a good example as a working mother.
She added: “She won’t be seeing this for a long, long time. I’m not sure how much of an impact it’s making right now, but absolutely, in the future, I want her to know and absorb the lesson of working hard, going for your dreams and making it happen.”

Cheryl Tweedy doesn’t focus on insecurities anymore

OHMYGOSSIP — Cheryl Tweedy has “focused less on her insecurities” since becoming a mother.
The ‘Crazy Stupid Love’ hitmaker – who has 19-month-old son Bear with her ex-partner Liam Payne – says her whole body and face has changed since she welcomed her son into the world but she doesn’t “care” what she looks like now as she is “amazed” by herself.
She told Style magazine: “My whole body, even my face, everything’s changed since Bear was born. But I feel like I’m better than who I was. I don’t care what my body looks like in that respect. I created a life! I’m amazed by myself. And I’m kinder to myself because of it. I focus less on my insecurities, because they’re so much less relevant.”
Earlier this year, soon after their break up, Liam hinted that the split between him and the 35-year-old singer was not his decision.
He explained: “I didn’t really expect any of this obviously and it’s difficult. I think sometimes people need to remember that behind all those statements and things there are actually people who are going through the same sort of stuff that you go through whether they’re famous, rich or whatever they are, it doesn’t matter.
“Yeah, no I’m feeling ok, I’m a bit fragile at times. No I’m alright you know, it’s been ok. Obviously there’s a lot of stuff I’ve still got to sort out with my life but … You’re tryna like, you break up and like obviously we’ve broken up and then it was like a couple of days or a couple of weeks before we actually like put the announcement out and that’s the bit when it really hits home I guess but at the same point it’s like breaking up twice like, we already did this once and now I’m having to go through all of that again just because.”

Mandy Moore wants a modest wedding look

OHMYGOSSIP — Mandy Moore doesn’t want to look “fussy or done-up” on her wedding day.
The 34-year-old actress-and-singer is currently planning her nuptials to singer Taylor Goldsmith, 33, and has admitted that she doesn’t want to “fall into the trap” of wearing too much makeup on the big day as she’s “heard that that brides regret their hair or makeup” when they change too much about their look.
In an interview with Popsugar, she said: “I just want to feel like the best version of myself, not too fussy or done-up; I’ve heard that brides regret their hair or makeup. That they sort of forced themselves into this idea of what they thought they should look like at their wedding. It wasn’t true to who they really are. I don’t want to fall into that trap.
“Just easy and breezy; not too much makeup. I don’t think I’ll wear my hair up. I want to feel like myself and look back and go, ‘Oh, my gosh, yeah. That was a special day, and I look like me still.’ ”
The ‘This Is Us’ actress was previously married to Ryan Adams but confessed that their relationship was a “very unhealthy situation” and she knew she had to get out of their seven-year marriage.
She previously said: “I don’t feel guilty for it. I don’t fault myself for it.
“When people said, ‘I’m sorry,’ I was like, ‘No. Sorry would have been had I stayed in a very unhealthy situation.’ I didn’t. I found my way out. And when I did, things opened back up again.”
Many now believes she has found the right person in Taylor and admitted that the musician massively helped her find herself again after her divorce.
She said: “I was still dealing with the trauma of my divorce when we started dating. Taylor was steadfast in his support – that was a huge sign for me.”

Dwayne Johnson will kill off Kevin Hart in Jumanji sequel

OHMYGOSSIP — Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson will kill off Kevin Hart in the ‘Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle’ sequel.
The 46-year-old actor has responded to his friend and co-star’s Comedy Act win at the People’s Choice Awards, and joked he’ll use his creative control to write him out of the next movie.
Along with a middle finger emoji, he joked: “I mean Im happy for my son, but you gotta be s****in’ me?! I do all the heavy lifting in our comedy act and HE takes home the gold?
“Welp, seeing as I’m producer of Jumanji, guess who’s character is gonna die in the opening scene when we start shooting in Jan. #BuhByeKev (sic)”
His tongue-in-cheek comments come after Hart – who has also starred opposite him in Central Intelligence – took a jab at the former WWE champion in his acceptance speech on Sunday night (11.11.18).
He said: “Huge, HUGE! Let’s just get down to the nitty gitty – I’m better than Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, let’s just underline that. In your face, people don’t like you – they like me.
“With that being said, I’d like to thank all the people that voted for me. I’ve gotta thank just in general, the awards in general.
“You guys have forever embraced me. You’ve shown me love. Thank you guys. So dope. I can’t believe it. Another People’s Choice Awards.
“I will continue to do it for you guys, because you’re the guys that matter. The people and their choices. You see what I did there?”

John Boyega won’t get wrapped up in his own success

OHMYGOSSIP — John Boyega tries to not “get lost in the sauce”.
The ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ actor admits a key part of staying humble whilst being so successful is to “treat himself like a human being” and not get caught up in the trappings of fame.
He said: “You change in this process, but what changes the most is the way in which people react to you. Treating yourself like a human being is something you must constantly remember to implement, not for yourself but for the people who are closest to you – as they say back in my ends – ‘so you don’t get lost in the sauce.'”
And the 26-year-old actor relies on his father’s advice.
He told Men’s Health magazine: “He always says, ‘Make sure you’re meditating, resting well and eating well.’ A lot of people know how to work hard and for a long amount of time. But working smart means that you put your brain in the healthiest position so that when you do work, it means much more.”
Meanwhile, John previously insisted he doesn’t see himself as a celebrity.
He explained: “The downside? You’ll sometimes get it while walking on the street. I don’t see myself as a celebrity. I walk on the street because I have always walked on the street. Sometimes somebody will ask for a selfie and it’s not the right time. I have no problem being polite. But you’re not always going to get the best response. Some people think: that’s your job. That is understandable. But you know.”

Victoria Beckham will watch the Spice Girls in concert

OHMYGOSSIP — Victoria Beckham is going to watch the Spice Girls perform on their reunion tour.
The 44-year-old star – better known as Posh Spice from her time in the group – passed up on the opportunity to join Emma Bunton, Geri Horner, Mel B and Mel C on stage for their series of UK stadium shows next year, however, she insists she will be in the audience to watch her bandmates perform.
Speaking to ‘Extra’ at the E! People’s Choice Awards on Sunday (11.11.18) at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, she said: “I have so much going on with my business and my family, I think the girls are going to do a great job, they have great things planned, and I am looking forward to it.”
Asked specifically if she’ll be in the audience at one or more of the concerts, she replied: “Absolutely! I am very, very excited for them.”
The singer-turned-fashion designer was honoured at the ceremony with the Fashion Icon Award, and pinned her eponymous label’s success to the “girl power” mantra she lived by at the height of the Spice Girls’ popularity in the 1990s.
She said: “I love what I do, and it started with girl power all those years ago and now it’s the same message but its empowering women through fashion. What I love to do is make women feel like the best version of themselves, so to get an award for something I really love doing is very exciting.”
Although Victoria has decided not to get back on stage with her bandmates, upon hearing the news being announced she took to Instagram to wish the girls all the success with the shows.
She wrote: “I won’t be joining my girls on stage again but being in the Spice Girls was a hugely important part of my life and I wish them so much love and fun as they go back on tour next year. I know they will put on an amazing show and the fantastic fans past and present are going to have a wonderful time! X (sic)”

Brendan Cole claims Strictly stars receive Blackpool bonus

OHMYGOSSIP — Brendan Cole claims ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ contestants who make it to Blackpool receive a “small bonus” payment.
The 42-year-old dancer says the pros have an added incentive to make it to the special week – which gives the celebrities a chance to enjoy dancing at Blackpool Tower Ballroom – because it gives them an added extra in their pay packet.
Writing in a column for HELLO! magazine, he said: “Blackpool week is always a milestone for the couples.
“It’s an incredible show to be a part of with a big crowd, a lot of fuss and it’s also a chance for a jolly up north.
“There’s also a little added incentive for the celebs of a small bonus in their pay packet.”
The star – who did not return to the current season of ‘Strictly’ after dancing on the show for 15 seasons – will be sad to miss his usual trip to Blackpool in some ways, but also acknowledged that he won’t miss the “countless rehearsals”.
He added: “I for one will slightly miss being there with everyone but won’t miss the countless rehearsals, including the big one happening as I write this piece.”
While it is not known what the celebrities are paid for taking part in ‘Strictly’, it is thought the stars get more money depending on how far they get in the series.
Blackpool week will take place on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th November this year – four weeks before the final.

Ann recently admitted she can’t wait to return to the show for the festive special.
She said: “I am very much looking forward to returning to ‘Strictly’, where I shall once again be pushed, pulled, cajoled and coaxed around the dancefloor in all manner of ways by my poor dance partner. Who knows, they might even fire me out of a canon.”

Annette Crosbie joins Call the Midwife cast

OHMYGOSSIP — Annette Crosbie is to star in the ‘Call the Midwife’ Christmas special.
The ‘One Foot in the Grave’ star has confirmed she will appear in the festive episode of the popular medical drama – which will see Miriam Margolyes take on the role of Sister Mildred – but joked she will not be expecting a baby on the programme.
When asked on ‘Loose Women’ if she will be appearing on ‘Call the Midwife’ soon, Annette, 84, said: “Yes, I am. Not as an expectant woman.
“A friend said to me, ‘You’re not pregnant are you?’ ”
Show anchor Ruth Langsford said: “You’re going to be in the ‘Call the Midwife’ Christmas special.”
Annette replied: “Oh is it?”
Ruth replied: “Apparently, so my sources tell me.”
Annette is best known for starring opposite Richard Wilson in 90s BBC sitcom ‘One Foot in the Grave’, which saw the pair play a bickering couple until the final episode in November 2000 when his alter-ego, Victor Meldrew, was killed off.
And while Richard, 82, wanted his complaining character to meet his maker, Annette would’ve liked the show – which spanned six series – to have carried on for more episodes.
Richard said: “[Series creator] David Renwick came to see a play I was in and he said, ‘I’m thinking of killing Victor.’ I said, ‘Yeah, kill him.’ ”
Annette, who played Victor’s long-suffering wife Margaret Meldrew, said: “I didn’t want it ever to end but I could understand why it had to.
“David Renwick wrote all of those, and the strain must have been … well, I know it was, tremendous.”
But Annette is keen to reprise her role as Margaret if the show was ever resurrected on stage.
When asked if the programme could be brought back as a musical or stage play, Richard said: “It’s too much for us to be on a stage. Victor’s dead…”
Annette added: “I wouldn’t mind it all being a bad dream and he’s not dead.”
Richard said: “If you’d like to organise it, we’d do it. If you get the right fee.”
Retired security guard Victor was known for often shouting “I don’t believe” when something went wrong in his life, but Annette insists she is in fact moodier than Richard in real life.
She said: “As people, I am much grumpier. I could leave him standing. I’m fierce.”
Despite their strong relationship on-screen, the pair haven’t met up too often since the show came to an end.
Richard said: “We don’t remember when we last met.”
Annette added: “Basically, we didn’t keep in touch … because he lived in North London and I lived in south. As far as he was concerned, I lived in the back of beyond.”
Richard joked: “Wimbledon. I mean, where’s Wimbledon?”

She thanked her team and fans before closing her speech with a wink as she said: “I want to thank Donatella Versace for this custom Versace dress, and I want to thank Michael B. Jordan, who will be taking it off me tonight.”
The 35-year-old star was also honoured with the Album of the Year prize for ‘Queen’ – and dedicated the win to Kim Kardashian West’s butt.
She said: “I wanna dedicate this award to Kim Kardashian’s ass in that dress.”
She also paid a touching tribute to her fans for following their dreams.
She said: “Thank you to all of the queens around the world that are maybe not at the place they want to be in their lives, but the fact that you are pushing and you are not being lazy and not complaining but going for your dreams every day, shout out to you.”
Nicki had opened the show in a black leather mini skirt, fishnets and combat boots with songs from the record including ‘Good Form’ before enlisting the help of her collaborator Tyga for a surprise debut performance of their song ‘Dip’.
The high-energy routine earned the ‘Starships’ hitmaker a standing ovation from the audience.

Carson then said: “Who would’ve thought that this country artist could land one of my oldest friends in the music business?”
Gwen – who quit the show earlier this year – was then asked to say a few words while she was on stage.
She quipped: “Oh my God, I’m so excited to be with Blake Shelton!”
Blake then thanked the audience before his pal cut him off with a quip.
The former ‘TRL’ presenter said: “They’re gonna get a room.”
Earlier in the evening, the ‘I Lived It’ singer had taken the Choice Country Artist award and paid tribute to his father in his acceptance speech.
Explaining his Veteran’s Day pin and ribbon, he said: “I’m wearing this in honour of my dad who’s a veteran. Thank you to all the veterans out there.”
He also pledged to place the trophy somewhere fans can see it and celebrate with him, in his Ole Red bar in Tishomingo, Oklahoma.
He said: “I got a little bar in Oklahoma. I am going to put this in the bar. Come down, look at my award, I will buy you a beer.”

Michael B. Jordan doesn’t understand dating

OHMYGOSSIP — Michael B. Jordan doesn’t “know what dating is”.
The 31-year-old star has admitted that while he feels like he’s wise to the world, romance isn’t something he knows much about.
Commenting on his big screen success in GQ magazine – who chose him as one of their Men of the Year cover stars – the ‘Creed II’ actor said: “My career is awesome. It is going great. There’s other places in my life that I’m f***ing lacking at.
“I’m very mature and advanced in a lot of areas of life. Dating may not be one of ’em. My personal life is not. I don’t really know what dating is.”
However, Michael also explained that his fame plays a big part in finding love, because it makes it harder to get to know someone.
While he accepted that the options are still there, he insisted it was better to focus on his career and himself for now, rather than the “nuances of dating”.
Addressing the interviewer, he added: “But it’s like, I could meet you, right now, boom, right here. Me and you sitting here chilling, whatever. Meal, whatever. Somebody could be over there, see this. And all of a sudden, you’re my girl now.
“So then they’re going to talk about you, they’re going to find out who you are. They’re gonna find out what your Instagram is, they’re going to find us in that.
“And all the fan club and everybody else is going to find out who you are, and now you and I are forever associated with one another.
“So now, how do you go anywhere normal, chill, just getting to know somebody that you just met, that you may not – may or may not – hit it off at all? That part of dating is tough.”

Peter Andre’s daughters have close bond

OHMYGOSSIP — Peter Andre’s daughter Princess loves to share a bed with her sister Amelia.
The 45-year-old singer revealed that 11-year-old Princess – whom he has with ex-wife Katie Price along with 13-year-old son Junior – insists on sharing a bed with four-year-old Amelia, who he has with his current wife Emily MacDonagh even though they “keep falling out” on the sack in the night.
In an interview with OK! magazine, Peter said: “It’s only the last night or two that they haven’t. It’s really cute but we’re trying to get them into separate beds.
“Millie’s cool to sleep on her own but Bista wants her with her. She loves her – it’s so nice.”
Emily added: “It is really cute. They only have small double beds and they keep falling out when they share but they still want to do it.”
The ‘Mysterious Girl’ hitmaker – who has all of his children permanently living with him for the first time – admitted that despite fears that it “would be segregated” between the girls and boys in the house, their children get on perfectly and the couple’s home has a “great atmosphere”.
Peter said: “It’s a great atmosphere in our house. I really thought it would be segregated with the boys and the girls, but while I do drawing with Millie, Bista does homework with Emily.
“They usually say that boys are moody but the girls in our house are moodier! The boys are chilled.”
However, Emily disagreed, saying: “I’d say the boys are definitely the moodiest in our house!”
Peter explained that one of the methods to maintain harmony in their home is by installing a certain set of rules.
He said: “We have rules like eating together as a family, no phones at the table, and the one screen rule – you can’t watch the telly while looking at your phone. It doesn’t always work but we do try.”
