Taylor Swift signs with Universal Music Group

OHMYGOSSIP — Taylor Swift has signed a new global recording agreement with Universal Music Group.
The 28-year-old pop superstar has put pen to paper on a multi-year agreement which will see Universal (UMG) act as the exclusive worldwide recorded music partner for Swift, whilst UMG’s Republic Records will serve as her label partner in America.
Announcing the news in an Instagram post to her 113 followers, Taylor wrote: “I’m ecstatic to announce that my musical home will be Republic Records and Universal Music Group … It’s really important to me to see eye to eye with a label regarding the future of our industry. I feel so motivated by new opportunities created by the streaming world and the ever changing landscape of our industry … I also feel strongly that streaming was founded on and continues to thrive based on the magic created by artists, writers and producers.”
The ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ hitmaker also praised Universal Music Group chairman/CEO Sir Lucian Grainge and Republic founder/CEO Monte Lipman as “incredible partners”.
And Grainge was fulsome in his praise for Taylor, saying in a statement: “Few artists in history approach Taylor Swift’s combination of massive global hits and creative brilliance. She is so multi-talented, she can achieve anything. I have such enormous respect for Taylor, in particular for her use of her hard-earned influence to promote positive change. Because of her commitment to her fellow artists, not only did she want to partner with a company that understood her creative vision and had the resources and expertise to execute globally on her behalf, she also sought a partner whose approach to artists was aligned with hers. With these shared beliefs, there is so much we can accomplish together, and all of us at UMG are enormously proud to be embarking on the next chapter of her career alongside her.”
Lipman added: “Taylor has not only captured the imagination of an entire generation, but has also redefined the paradigm of the modern music industry. Her commitment to songwriting and performing has earned her the respect of her peers and millions of adoring fans around the world. I can only imagine what Taylor is capable of achieving in the years to come, both culturally and creatively.
An interesting condition of the deal is that Taylor insisted that should Universal sell any of its shares in Spotify it will “result in a distribution of money to their artists, non-recoupable”.
Speaking about the clause, she said: “They have generously agreed to this, at what they believe will be much better terms than paid out previously by major labels. I see this as a sign that we are headed towards positive change for creators – a goal I’m never going to stop trying to help achieve.”
This follows Taylor’s stance against Apple Music, which prompted the company to change its policy not to pay royalties to artists or labels during its initial three-month free trial period.
The singer/songwriter also previously refused to allow streaming services such as Spotify to host her music in a protest about the level of royalty payments for musicians but she did allow her songs to be streamed from June 2017.

OHMYGOSSIP — Cardi B has bought her mom her “dream home”.
The ‘Money Bag’ rapper took to Instagram on Monday (19.11.18) to share videos of the fancy New York abode, which she has saved up for over a year to purchase.
In the first clip, in which she shows off the shiny new kitchen, she says: “Last year I was so thirsty to buy my mama a home, and I could only afford a house that cost $600,000.
“You know, we live in New York, so a price that looked like that look like s**t.
“I waited, I waited, I waited, I waited til I could afford a dream home, and I copped it.”
The property boasts a large bathroom and a gym, and Cardi admitted she was excited for her four-month-old daughter Kulture – whom she has with husband Offset – to come and stay.
She said: “When my daughter visits her grandma’s house, she gonna come here.”
The 26-year-old star – who is estimated to be worth around $8 million – admitted that while it was always a “childhood dream” to buy her mom a luxury pad of her own, she’s now got to use her salary to pay “big girls bills”.
She captioned the post: “Stay down till you come up !Its always been a dream to buy my mother a house .Last year i was so thirsty to buy my mom a house but the ones i was interested for her weren’t at my price range .I worked and worked and now I’m here !! Thank you everybody who supported me to make my childhood dreams come true! Buy my momma a house !!…..don’t ask me for shit motherf**kers i got big girls bills (sic)”
Meanwhile, the ‘Bodak Yellow’ hitmaker recently revealed she thinks her daughter is starting to resemble her younger sister, Hennessy Carolina, 22.
She wrote on Twitter: “Ok my daughter started to look like me not so long ago now she lookin like Henny again (sic)”

David Beckham reminisces on ‘special’ trip to Oz

OHMYGOSSIP — David Beckham’s trip to Australia was extra “special” because he was with his children.
The 43-year-old retired soccer star – who has sons Brooklyn, 19, Romeo, 16, and Cruz, 13, and daughter Harper, seven, with his wife Victoria Beckham – and his spouse recently took their three youngest kids Down Under and had a great time enjoying all of the “touristy” sights of the country.
Speaking to AIA Vitality Australia about his trip, David said: “This time I was able to bring my kids.
“My kids obviously had never been to Australia before, so we’d done all the touristy stuff. I took the boys and we climbed the [Sydney Harbour] Bridge. We did all the touristy things.
“They had a lot of fun and so did I. To introduce them to a new culture, to a new country, was very special.
“I’ve been to some great restaurants here. The coffee’s really good here, and people have been amazing, so it’s been a really, really good trip.”
While on their trip to Australia – which they undertook as part of David’s role as an ambassador for the Invictus Games, a competition for wounded, injured or sick armed services personnel and veterans – the family visited Bondi Beach, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and made a surprise visit to Glenworth Valley Outdoor Adventures, where they enjoyed quad biking and abseiling.
The facility revealed on their Instagram account: “The *other* British royal family, the Beckhams, took some time out on their visit to Australia for the Invictus Games to enjoy a day of quad biking and abseiling at Glenworth Valley together with 3 of their 4 children today.
“David, Victoria and three of their children enjoyed a day of adventure with an adrenaline-charged abseiling experience followed by a ride through Glenworth Valley’s bush trails and purpose-built circuit on our quad biking adventure. They even assisted our team with feeding some of our new Spring foals.
“Our team certainly enjoyed hosting the Beckhams. The family were incredibly down-to-earth, friendly and appreciative and all thoroughly enjoyed their day with us (sic)”
Ahead of the trip, Victoria had spoken of how excited she was to have the opportunity to enjoy being in the country.
She said: “The only time I’ve been there before was with the Spice Girls, 24 hours in Sydney and Melbourne
“When you’re young and travelling the world like that, you’d sit in your hotel room and watch TV. When you’re older, you want to get out and see things.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Frankie Muniz is engaged.
The ‘Malcolm in the Middle’ star has had a rough week after he returned home from his uncle’s funeral to find his house had flooded, and after praising his girlfriend Paige Price for helping him through the traumatic experience, he has now decided to take their relationship to the next level, as he’s asked her to marry him.
Posting a series of pictures of the couple on Instagram on Monday (19.11.18), Paige wrote: “When you’re a little girl, you dream of marrying the man of your dreams. You think of all these extravagant things from the way he asks you, to the dress you’re going to wear, to the music you’re going to dance to with your father. Sometimes, reality has a tendency to overstep your dreams and really surprise you. 
”Francisco Muniz IV, you’re more than a dream to me. You teach me every day, you compliment me when I’m at my worst, and you push me past the edge but you’re there to pick me up when I start showing signs of falling. I love every piece of you, and I appreciate you more and more every single day. I truly cannot wait to be your wife
“P.S. You’re officially the master of proposals. 143.
“P.P.S. I ugly cried so hard that I can’t even post the pictures so… there’s that.. (sic)”
As of the time of writing, Frankie himself has not posted on Instagram or Twitter to confirm the news of his engagement.
The 32-year-old actor previously shared his devastation on Twitter when he returned to his home to find that his pet cat had accidentally turned on a sink, causing his whole house to flood.
He wrote: “I arrived home from my uncle’s funeral to find 4 of my 5 story brownstone home under 3 feet of water. Everything I own, destroyed. Every wall, piece of artwork, personal photos, furniture. All because my cat accidentally turned on a sink a few days ago while we were gone.
“I’m devastated and exhausted from a tough week with the loss of my Uncle Skip, 45 hours of travel to and from France to walk in to find this disaster. I’ve cried more yesterday and today then my whole life combined. Forgive me for venting. I just need some support.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson “greedily” ate over 100 pieces of sushi for his “Sunday cheat meal”.
The 46-year-old WWE wrestler-turned-actor is no stranger to sharing his weekly cheat foods with his loyal followers on social media, however the ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’ star vowed to take “gluttony” to “new levels” with the Japanese feast he had set out to enjoy while watching a Netflix documentary on Johnny Cash and disgraced former president Richard Nixon, ‘ReMastered: Tricky Dick & The Man in Black’.
Dwayne wrote on Instagram: “The cheat meal Sunday Sushi Train rolled on this past weekend with some power and a ton of that wooosabi.
“Great new doc on Netflix about one of my fav country artists, the icon himself, Johnny Cash. I wear the black for the poor and beaten down.. livin’ in the hopeless, hungry side of town.
“If you ain’t eatin’ – then you ain’t cheatin’. Enjoy your cheat meals my friends and excuse me while I take greed and gluttony to new levels. #FilthyAnimal #SooshTrain (sic)”
The former WWE superstar is currently filming a ‘Fast and Furious 8’ spin-off, ‘Hobbs and Shaw,’ alongside pal Jason Statham.
The spin-off will continue from 2017’s ‘The Fate of the Furious’ and see Johnson play agent Luke Hobbs and team up with assassin Deckard Shaw (Statham) to fight Idris Elba, who will play the film’s as-yet unnamed villain.
‘Fast and Furious’ scriptwriter Chris Morgan is penning the ‘Hobbs and Shaw’ film and although it will contain the “original DNA” of the ‘Fast and Furious’ franchise but still maintain their own “take on the Fast universe”.
In October, Johnson posted a picture of him and Statham sitting opposite each other and captioned the post: “We either gonna get along or we gonna get it on. F**k getting along (devil emoticon).
“Great first week of shooting our Fast & Furious spin-off, “HOBBS & SHAW” with my ace @jasonstatham. We’re havin’ a blast disrupting the norm to deliver something fresh, cool, fun and bad a** for the fans.” (sic)

Jada Pinkett Smith: I had to pull a knife on aggressive boyfriend

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Jada Pinkett Smith once allegedly had to “pull a knife” on a “really aggressive” boyfriend.
The 47-year-old actress – who is now married to Will Smith, with whom she has son Jaden, 20, and daughter Willow, 18 – has claimed that she’s been “emotionally abused” in relationships in the past, but even had one former partner become so angry with her, that she alleges she had to grab a kitchen knife and “hide in his son’s room” for safety.
Speaking on Monday’s (19.11.18) episode of her Facebook Watch show ‘Red Table Talk’, she said: “I’ve definitely been in relationships that have been emotionally abusive. I think emotional violence is really prevalent.”
The ‘Girl’s Trip’ star then turned to her mother, Adrienne Banfield-Jones, and added: “You remember that one incident I had with that one guy I was dating where I had to pull a knife out on him?
“[We were leaving a restaurant] and he had been drinking and he was driving. He started getting really aggressive in the car. Thank goodness I knew where I was and I knew how to get out of the car and get to the house. I ran to the house. I had to take my clothes off, take off my heels. I always travel with a black Russell hoodie and black Russell sweats.
“I remember jumping in that sweatsuit, grabbing a big ol’ knife from the kitchen and hiding in his son’s room. I’ll never forget.”
Jada alleges the former boyfriend then snuck in through the back door to his home, where she confronted him.
She continued: “[He came in through the back] on the creepy creep creep like he was going to sneak up on me.
“I heard him. I came out of his son’s bedroom and I was at the bottom of the hallway. I was like, ‘Don’t come near me,'” she said. “He said the quintessential line you hear in movies all the time, ‘You think I would hurt you? I would never do that to you.’
“I thought, ‘Oh my God, I’m in trouble.'”
The actress didn’t elaborate on how the alleged incident ended, but said Spike Lee’s offer to make the 1996 film ‘Girl 6’ is what helped her end the relationship.
She said: “Spike Lee saved me from that one. Spike had been calling me about ‘Girl 6’. I used Spike as an excuse to get on that plane and [her former boyfriend] said right then and there, ‘I’ll never see you again, will I?’
“I got on that plane and he never saw me again.”

I’m A Celerity bosses ‘scrap secret campmate’

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ bosses have reportedly axed plans for a second secret camp mate.
It is said that after spending a reported £600,000 to sign former ‘Deal or No Deal’ host Noel Edmonds to the show as the 11th campmate, the decision was made to cut the total number of contestants from 12 to 11 for the first time in 11 years.
An ITV insider told The Sun newspaper: “Bosses for ‘I’m A Celebrity’ spent so much on signing Noel for the show that there’s only 11 contestants planned this year.
“They have really pushed the boat out and splashed the cash more than ever before – meaning a change to the format had to be made.
“Harry Redknapp and Noel cost over £1 million between the two of them and they’ve spent good money on the likes of Nick Knowles and Rita Simons too.”
The report follows claims that the 69-year-old presenter – who has hosted shows including ‘Top of the Pops’, ‘Multi-Coloured Swap Shop’ and ‘Noel’s House Party’ – has insisted he will walk away from TV if he is crowned King of the Jungle on the reality TV show.
A source claimed that Noel has been overheard saying: “I said in my pre-interview that if the nation votes me King of the Jungle I will leave television for good.
“A wonderful inducement for the nation to have peace and tranquility at last.”
Noel will join former ‘Torchwood’ actor John Barrowman, football manager Harry Redknapp, ‘Coronation Street’ star Sair Khan, former ‘EastEnders’ star Rita Simons, ex-‘X Factor’ wannabe Fleur East, The Vamps guitarist James McVey, TV presenter Nick Knowles, ‘Hollyoaks’ actor Malique Thompson-Dwyer, ‘The Chase’ quiz queen Anne Hegerty, and ‘Inbetweeners’ actress Emily Atack in the jungle.

John Barrowman warned not to strip on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — John Barrowman has been warned against dropping his trousers in front of the other campmates on ‘I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!’.
The 51-year-old actor is known for his wild ways, but has reportedly been told he’s not to flash his genitals at his fellow campmates whilst he appears on the ITV celebrity survival show, as he’s been placed on a “flashing ban”.
An insider told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: “John has promised he’ll be on his best behaviour, and will be on a self-imposed flashing ban. But fully intends to show everything in the showers.
“John has raised eyebrows in the past by going a bit far with his party antics.
“He’s certainly not shy when it comes to his body, and tends to be quite impulsive and act in the moment which they hope could make him a favourite with viewers.
“But equally they’re worried he might get carried away especially with the jungle boredom and sharing the camp with a few handsome men.”
The ban comes after the former ‘Torchwood’ star apologised for exposing himself on a live BBC Radio 1 show in 2008.
During the incident, he pulled down his trousers after being goaded into it by presenters Nick Grimshaw, 34, and Annie Mac, 40, and after just one complaint was made, the BBC also apologised and said he’d “overstepped the mark”.
In his apology at the time, the ‘Arrow’ star said: “I apologise for any offence I have caused. I was joining in the light-hearted and fun banter of the show and went too far. I was wrong to do this and it will never happen again. I really appreciate the great support I have received from the BBC over the last few years and would never intentionally do anything to undermine the integrity of the corporation.”

Marvin and Rochelle Humes land Saturday night music quiz show

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Marvin and Rochelle Humes are set to host a new Saturday night music quiz show.
The former JLS band member and Saturdays star have landed their first “stand-alone show” together, ‘Playlisters’ on BBC One, and can’t wait to put the contestants’ music knowledge to the test as it’s something they already do at home.
They commented: “It’s our first stand-alone show together and the fact it’s a format based on our love of music makes it all the more rewarding.
“We frequently put each other’s knowledge to the test at home, so we cannot wait to see how the contestants get on.”
The new show is being dubbed a modern day ‘Name That Tune’ – which ran between 1976 and 1998, and was presented by Tom O’Connor, Lionel Blair and Jools Holland over the years – and will feature six episodes.
Each week, three couples will battle it out to win £10,000 by listening to chart hits and golden oldies and naming the title and artist of each song correctly.
BBC bosses are thrilled to have the Capital DJ and Heart Saturday drivetime show host on board, as they believe their “deeply competitive” nature will be a huge hit with viewers.
The broadcaster’s entertainment boss, Kate Phillips, said: “I can’t think of a better way to kick off Saturday nights. “Hosted by the deeply competitive Rochelle and Marvin Humes, it’ll have everyone at home singing along.”
Marvin, 33, and Rochelle, 29, often step in to co-host ITV’s ‘This Morning’ in the absence of Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes and Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.
The couple – who tied the knot in 2012, and have Alaia-Mai, five, and 19-month-old Valentina Raine together – have a wealth of pop knowledge between them.
Marvin hosts The Official Vodafone Big Top 40 chart show and Rochelle is one fifth of the girl group The Saturdays – who sold over eight million records and have been on hiatus since 2014 – and hits with ‘What About Us’ and ‘Just Can’t Get Enough’.

Audrina Patridge gets primary custody of her daughter for now

By

-

OHMYGOSSIP — Audrina Patridge is to get primary custody of her daughter.
The ‘Hills’ star has been awarded primary custody of her and her ex-husband Corey Bohan’s two-year-old daughter Kirra Max for the time being whilst the pair work out other issues through a mediator, The Blast reports.
The pair are said to be still working out a final custody schedule as well as the amount of child support to be paid. And the former couple have been ordered to stay more than 100 yards from each other at all times “except for the brief and peaceful exchange of the parties’ daughter, Kirra Max Patridge Bohan”.
Audrina and Corey – who reached a divorce settlement earlier this month – are likely to battle it out in court again after Corey filed documents to legally prevent Audrina from featuring their daughter on the upcoming reboot of MTV reality series ‘The Hills’.
Corey requested that “neither party allow the minor child to be filmed or to appear in any reality television production without the express, written consent of the other parent” and “any prior consent for the minor child to appear on ‘The Hills’ reboot to be revoked and proof of revocation to be provided”. He also requested “a specific order restraining Audrina from allowing Kirra to appear on any reality television program including, without limitation, ‘The Hills’ without my prior written consent”.
Corey had previously wrote on his private Instagram account: “I refuse to think it’s ok for our 2yr old daughter Kirra Bohan to be shown & exploited on Reality TV. Not just my child by anyone’s for that matter. This is about our daughter Kirra Bohan (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Rebel Wilson has joined the cast of ‘Cats’.
The ‘Bridesmaids’ actress will portray the lazy old Gumbie feline Jennyanydots in the upcoming big screen adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s beloved musical, which is based on T.S. Eliot’s ‘Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats’ poetry collection.
The 38-year-old Australian actress joins the legendary Sir Ian McKellen (Gus the Theatre Cat) and Dame Judi Dench in the all-star cast.
Dench – who was due play Grizabella in the original West End production in 1981, until she was forced to withdraw through injury – takes on the role of Old Deuteronomy.
Whilst Idris Elba looks set to play villain feline Macavity in the movie, and his alter ego and his minions capture Deuteronomy in the musical.
Jennifer Hudson, James Corden and Taylor Swift are also set to appear in the motion picture, which will be produced by Hooper, Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner and Debra Hayward, while Steven Spielberg will be one of the executive producers of the project.
‘Lord of the Rings’ star McKellen recently admitted he wants to find his “inner pussy” for his role in ‘Cats’.
The 79-year-old veteran actor joked he will embrace his “moggyiness” for his performance.
He cheekily quipped: “I’m looking for the inner pussy – the ‘moggyiness’ that’s within us all…
“I’ve always wanted to be in a musical on stage so rather late in the day this is like a dream come true.”
Meanwhile, Wilson previously revealed she has three movies coming out in 2019.
She tweeted: “Ooooo. Been working so hard behind the scenes this year. Can’t wait for you guys to see the 3 movies I’m in next year. (sic)”

Jude Law: The world is ready for gay Dumbledore

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Jude Law thinks “the world is ready” to see Albus Dumbledore as a gay icon.
The 45-year-old actor stars as a young version of the wizard made famous in the ‘Harry Potter’ franchise in the new movie ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald’, and has said he believes fans of the magical franchise are ready to see the Hogwarts headmaster embrace his sexuality.
He said: “The world is ready [for an openly gay Dumbledore], and if it isn’t, it bloody well should be.”
Dumbledore’s sexuality was never explored in J.K. Rowling’s ‘Harry Potter’ book series as she only made the revelation that he was gay in 2007, and was also never added to the main ‘Harry Potter’ movies.
But in the ‘Fantastic Beasts’ spin-off saga, his sexuality is explicitly portrayed, and whilst Jude can’t divulge details on what’s in the film, he insists that it doesn’t “define” who Dumbledore is.
Speaking to the New York Times, Jude added: “Put it this way: This film is not about his homosexuality, nor does his sexuality define him. But that relationship is certainly a defining element of who he is and what he’s about. I also don’t think he’s someone who has given his heart or his soul to many people. The aftermath of their relationship left him reeling, and he’s packed his heart in ice, to be honest, and no one’s quite thawed it.”
Meanwhile, Jude recently revealed he received a huge confidence boost on the set of the new movie, after author J.K. Rowling told him she was pleased with his casting.
He said: “When the boss says, ‘I like you,’ it gives you a little bit of comfort. You can’t help but step into something like this, playing a part like this without feeling a sense of responsibility, a fear of letting someone down. But when the creator gives you the thumbs up, it’s a blessing.”

Mumford and Sons postpone four UK shows due to ‘technical challenges’

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Mumford & Sons have been forced to postpone four UK shows due to “unforeseen logistical and technical challenges”.
Marcus Mumford and co are having to move their ‘Delta Tour’ shows in Liverpool, Cardiff, Sheffield and Manchester in November and December, back to next year, as they require more time to deliver the “ambitious” production they have in store for fans.
The ‘I Will Wait’ hitmakers admitted it was not a decision they have made lightly, but they simply had “no other choice” but to push back the dates.
In a statement to their fans posted on their social media profiles, they explained: “It is with a really heavy heart that we have been forced to postpone four shows on this UK tour due to unforeseen technical and logistical challenges. As you may know, the Delta Tour is by far the most ambitious show we’ve put together and we have had to free up some space in the schedule to be able to execute it, given some obstacles that have come up in production.
“As we also hope you know by now, we never postpone shows lightly, in fact it’s something we try to avoid at all costs – so this decision has been incredibly difficult to make but in this case we have no other choice. The truth is that it is simply not humanly possible to play these particular shows at this time and we are sorry the reality of that only truly landed after we completed Belfast yesterday.
“We are therefore rescheduling our Liverpool, Cardiff, Sheffield and Manchester shows to 2019 & will share information on the new dates very soon.”
Any fans who bought tickets but are unable to attend the new dates, will be able to receive a full refund from their point of purchase.
They continued: “Original tickets will be valid for the rescheduled dates and for those who may be unable to make the new dates, you will be offered a full refund from the point of purchase. Please head to our website for more info.
We are so sorry to need to do this, but we will see you soon. (sic)”
The 63-date world tour is in support of their latest LP ‘Delta’.

OHMYGOSSIP — Millie Bobby Brown has been named the youngest UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador.
The ‘Stranger Things’ actress – who is best known for starring as Eleven in the award-winning Netflix sci-fi drama series – has supported the children’s charity since 2016, when she hosted its 70th anniversary celebrations at the United Nations.
As a Goodwill Ambassador, the 14-year-old star will use her global platform to raise awareness of children’s rights and issues affecting young people, such as poor education, violence, bullying and poverty.
Alongside a video explaining her role, she wrote on Instagram: “A dream come true! It’s a huge honour to become @UNICEF’s newest and youngest ever Goodwill Ambassador to help defend children’s rights across the world. I can’t wait to get started!
#WorldChildrensDay #GoBlue (sic)”
In a statement, she added:
“It’s a huge honour to join such an impressive list of people who have supported UNICEF over the years.
“I am looking forward to meeting as many children and young people as I can, hearing their stories, and speaking out on their behalf.”
The announcement was made on World Children’s Day (20.11.18) – a global day of action
“for children, by children” to raise awareness and funds for the millions of children that are “unschooled, unprotected and uprooted”.
Members of the public are encouraged to go online to sign a global petition calling on leaders to bring forth change to the lives of the millions of disadvantaged children on the planet.
UNICEF’s Executive Director, Henrietta Fore, commented: “I’m delighted to welcome Millie to the UNICEF family, particularly on World Children’s Day – a day that is all about giving children and young people a voice.
“Children are their own best advocates. I know that Millie will use her passion and dedication to defend the rights of vulnerable children and young people everywhere.”
Millie follows in the footsteps of the likes of David Beckham, Orlando Bloom, Jackie Chan, Danny Glover, Ricky Martin, Liam Neeson, Shakira and Lilly Singh in landing the role.
Last year, Millie induced ‘Baywatch’ star Priyanka Chopra into the “global family” alongside retired soccer ace David.
