Closer的ISSUE 808目录

Coleen Rooney was barely into her 20s when she became Closer’s columnist and it was clear she adored childhood sweetheart Wayne. It seems nothing’s changed despite some tough challenges. Last year, she wrote on Facebook, “A few people are probably thinking I am stupid for staying in my marriage. I am not stupid. I know my own mind and it’s something I want to try and work on.” Now, as Wayne moves abroad, she’ll no doubt stay strong and committed. Her attitude is the antithesis of modern “disposable dating” – the premise of the wildly successful Love Island . It makes great TV to see people race from one relationship to another, but in real life a sprinkling of Coleen’s determination may bring greater happiness. As psychologist Emma Kenny advises…

She’s kept a relatively low profile since welcoming son Bear in March last year, only being spotted in public on a handful of occasions. And last week, just days before celebrating her 35th birthday, Cheryl cut a lonely figure as she attended a Prince’s Trust event at St James’s Palace in London without partner Liam Payne – who was spotted in London the day before. The star – who was accompanied by long-term friend and PA Lily England, while other celebs attended with their partners – caused a stir with her bold choice of a sheer gown, worn without a bra, at the event hosted by Prince Charles, and sparked concern for her health, with many commenting on her appearance. LOOKING “FRAIL” Fans were quick to express concern online, saying,…

‘ SHE’S NEVER LIKED CHANGE AND LOVES WHERE THEY LIVE’ The future of his football career had been hanging in the balance in recent years, but last week Wayne Rooney’s fate was sealed when he signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with Washington-based football club, D.C. United. The star, 32, is set to play his first match on 14 July and revealed he “couldn’t wait” to get on the pitch. However, insiders tell Closer that his wife Coleen is scared about how the move will affect their family life with children Kai, eight, Klay, four, Kit, two, and fourth-month-old Cass Mac. A source says, “Coleen has known the move was on the cards for a while, but she still can’t quite believe it’s a reality. She’s happy for Wayne because she knows…

“I’LL NEVER COPE WITH THE PAIN OF LOSING SOPHIE” With her multicoloured hair and “goth” clothes, Sophie Lancaster wasn’t afraid to look different. But appallingly, her unique style cost Sophie her life. The 20-year-old was left so badly beaten following a violent attack in August 2007, that she later died in hospital. Now, as part of an initiative by No2H8 Crime – a group of charities and organisations that work on tackling hatred, intolerance and prejudice – Closer has teamed up with Sophie’s mum, Sylvia, to campaign for an end to hate crime. Sylvia, from Haslingden, Lancashire, now serves as chief executive for the Sophie Lancaster Foundation. She says, “Hate crime can happen to anybody. Your whole world could be taken from you – just because someone doesn’t like who…

She’s carved out a huge career in showbiz since finding fame on TOWIE in 2011 and, last week, revealed she’d started filming for her own reality show. And pals say this is just the beginning for Gemma Collins, who’s set her sights on cracking America with the help of her former Celebrity Big Brother co-star and Kim Kardashian’s BFF, Jonathan Cheban. Kim gained notoriety in 2007 after her sex tape with rapper Ray J leaked, and Gemma sensationally claimed last week that she had made her own intimate recording that she hoped to sell for £1 million – though she later backtracked and insisted she was joking. DREAMING BIG An insider says, “Gemma’s gone from zero to 100 in a matter of days and now she’s landed her own show,…

‘I’m not the type of person to force romance’ EMMA: You were in Love Island for two weeks. How did you find the experience? HAYLEY: I made friends for life, but there were lows. When I wasn’t coupled with anyone, I felt lonely. It was hard to watch the other couples progressing. I’m not the type of person to force romance if it isn’t there, but relationship-wise I wasn’t compatible with any of them. I liked the look of Eyal when I first saw him, but we didn’t connect. Looking back, I should’ve picked Josh because we had a laugh together. E: You were branded a “diva”. Was that fair? H: I came across as miserable and angry, but I wasn’t happy so I couldn’t force a smile. I was…

Richelle Rimmer, 29 – who has been best friends with Laura, also 29, for seven years – says, “Laura has been hurt in the past and cheated on by exes, so this isn’t the first time she’s gone through it. It will be horrible for her having to see Wes and Megan around the villa. Laura went in there to find love – she’s ready to settle down, find her future husband and have a family. She genuinely liked Wes – she wouldn’t have slept with him unless she did. It’s a big deal to her and she didn’t think she’d have sex on TV. Going on Love Island was a life-changing decision for Laura – she gave up her job and life in Dubai to do it, so I…

They’ve kept a low profile since they were first linked last September. But Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson shared a rare moment of public affection when they were recently spotted hand in hand walking her dog Zeppelin in Malibu. And insiders say the romance is fast heating up, with the 50 Shades actress, 28, moving into the 41-year-old Coldplay frontman’s Malibu home. A source reveals, “Dakota and Chris are smitten. They’ve been spending so much time together that Chris thought the next logical step was to ask her to move in with him. They’re even considering throwing a moving-in party with friends and family to celebrate. And insiders say that, as the pair take the next step, Dakota has been spending an increasing amount of time with Chris’ children, Apple,…

‘My kids shouldn’t have to see Mummy cry’ She’s faced a traumatic few years, after undergoing both a double mastectomy and hysterectomy to lessen her chances of cancer, which plunged her into an early menopause, aged just 35. And Michelle Heaton – who has Faith, six, and AJ, four, with husband Hugh Hanley – was brutally honest about the impact it had on her both emotionally and physically, from thinning hair and loss of libido, to the uncontrollable mood swings which have tested her marriage. But, three years on, the star – now 38 – says she’s enjoying life again. “I’m coping better,” she smiles. “I’m rediscovering the old me. No matter how tired I am, I don’t want to miss out on things and lose the whole of myself.…

‘ IT’S INSULTING TO SAY THAT I SPENT $30,000 ON WINE, BECAUSE IT WAS FAR MORE’ He was once heralded as one of Hollywood’s hottest men, with a successful career spanning three decades and reports that he could command £16 million per movie. But a bombshell interview with Johnny Depp last week painted a very different picture of the actor, who claimed he was broke. A Rolling Stone magazine reporter described him as “alternately hilarious, sly and incoherent” after the pair spent 72 hours together in a rented London apartment, during which Depp, with a packet of cannabis at his elbow, apparently talked about drinking vodka for breakfast. In the interview, Johnny, 55, confessed that he’d plunged into depression following his 2016 split from wife Amber Heard, 32. He was…

‘I’d like to tie the knot again’ They have an intriguing relationship that has endured for more than 30 years after they began dating when Sinitta was just a teenager in the ’80s. And after splitting up when she was the more famous of the two, Sinitta and Simon Cowell have remained best friends. And despite the media mogul once being renowned for his bachelor ways and famous harem of women, the singer insists he’s now firmly a family man since welcoming son Eric, four, with partner Lauren Silverman back in 2014. When asked if he will ever marry Lauren or have more kids, Sinitta, 54, answered, “Yes, I do. I think Eric’s amazing, he’s a mini Simon!” EXPOSING SECRETS Sinitta recently admitted she was assaulted by six men in…

Sherrie Hewson, your fellow companion on the show, says caravans are a “joy and a wonderful thing” – would you agree with this sentiment? I would! We had such fun, but when we initially saw the caravan we were like, ‘Oh my word!’ Because it was so small that we couldn’t actually open our suitcases… The boys were even more cramped, with the three of them! Size isn’t everything? We ended up having the best laugh. The whole trip was just so funny, and Sherrie and I only had to look at one another and we’d send each other off. We got on so well and we all really bonded. Can you share any highlights? Sherrie trying to cook sausage and eggs for breakfast was hysterical. The boys were so…

She’s appeared hellbent on moving on from husband Kieran Hayler following their marriage split in May, diving headfirst into her new romance with boyfriend Kris Boyson. And Jordan even insisted last week that she wished she’d met the personal trainer “years ago”, sharing a photo of him with her and Kieran’s kids, Jett, four, and Bunny, three. Just days later, the pair were pictured all over each other in a hot tub in Glasgow. But insiders had previously revealed to Closer that the mum of five – who has admitted in the past she likes to keep a man on the back burner when her romances start to crumble – had been lining up a string of men in a desperate bid to find husband number four. And pals say…

‘SHE’S HOPING THAT PUTTING SOME DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM WILL HELP HER TO MOVE ON’ She’s made no secret of her hurt over her estranged husband Ant McPartlin’s rumoured relationship with their former PA, Anne Marie Corbett, and Tweeted, “Lies, lies, lies” last week amid fresh allegations. Lisa Armstrong’s outburst followed a series of damning claims made about her, as it was reported last week that she had treated former pal and assistant Anne Marie as “a skivvy” and booted her out of their marital home after a ferocious bust-up. And insiders say Lisa is upset the situation has escalated in the way it has, and has asked celeb pals, including Holly Willoughby, Phillip Schofield and Simon Cowell, for help. A source says, “Lisa’s hurt and sad it’s come to this,…

Psychologist Emma Kenny says, “Long-distance relationships require effort, communication and, most importantly, trust. In Coleen and Wayne’s relationship, the trust has been violated already, with Wayne’s rumoured cheating. However, they are a resilient couple – Coleen has forgiven him many times. Wayne and Coleen must make sure they have rebuilt their trust in each other. They are both clearly invested in their relationship or else they wouldn’t still be together – so they have both shown determination to make it work. “But long-distance will definitely be their biggest test. The distance will either strengthen their marriage, in the sense that absence makes the heart grow fonder and their own independence will benefit them, or they will both realise that they can actually cope without the other. However, because of how…

Fiona Pilkington was driven to kill herself and her disabled daughter, Frankie, 18, in 2007 after suffering years of abuse. Fiona and her family had been hounded by local teens for more than a decade at their house in Barwell, Leicestershire. In her suicide note, Fiona said, “The street kids, well I have just given up. I’m not cut out to take this much harassment.” Stephen Lawrence, 18, was verbally abused then stabbed to death in a racially-motivated attack at a bus stop in Eltham, south London, in 1993. Following his murder, the police were accused of institutional racism and even Nelson Mandela commented on the case, saying “It seems black lives are cheap”.…

He was cruelly mocked for his weight gain last week by trolls, one of whom posted, “Gemma Collins is bad for your health”. But despite James “Arg” Argent revealing a heavier frame in Majorca with pal Mark Wright, size 18-20 girlfriend Gemma believes it’s the key to helping them crack America. A source says, “Gemma knows how successful weight loss is in America and how lucrative it could be for them if they get it right. “Jonathan [Cheban] has turned her head by revealing how much Kim [Kardashian] gets for endorsing weight-loss brands and Gem’s convinced that she and Arg could become multi-millionaires by bagging deals linked to them transforming their bodies.” Arg’s weight has yo-yoed over the years, and his close pal and TOWIE co-star Tommy Mallet once said,…

DR ALEX GEORGE He wears his heart on sleeve and was made up when Ellie showed him some interest. It’s nice to have someone a little bit different to everyone else. He’s like my big brother. MEGAN I was gobsmacked when I watched her take Wes off Laura – it was the fact that she smiled. The other girls will be wary of her now. I would have reacted worse than Laura did! CHARLIE There’s no friendship between us. I think he’s bitter that we got booted off, but he can’t put the blame on me because it was down to the public.…

Wes’ pal, Simon Corbishley, 19, says, “Wes [19] has been brought up with good morals, he’s funny and he’s respectful. However, he’ll always follow his heart – and if something isn’t working, he’ll go after what he wants. He definitely liked Laura in the beginning, but the age gap was too much [Laura is 29]. She held him back almost – he didn’t want to appear immature and so he wasn’t being his real, silly self. They wanted different things and it didn’t work out. “I don’t think Wes and Megan will progress into a proper relationship, though. He seems to like her – but he doesn’t know she’s done explicit videos and photo shoots. I think that will put him off. He wants someone he can take home to…

TOWIE star Amber Turner, 24, cheated on boyfriend Jamie Reed with co-star Dan Edgar, in February 2017. Amber denied she’d been unfaithful, until a tearful showdown with Reed. Actress Kristen Stewart, 28, cheated on boyfriend Robert Pattinson , 32, with married director Rupert Sanders 47, on the set of their movie Snow White And The Huntsman in 2012. Amanda Holden, 47, had been married to comedian Les Dennis, 64, for five years when she had an affair with Men Behaving Badly actor Neil Morrissey, 55 in 2000. They divorced in 2003.…

It was rumoured that Emma Watson, 28, had split from Glee star Chord Overstreet, 29, in May, after just six months of dating, when she appeared to unfollow him on social media. But the pair proved their relationship was still on last week, when they were spotted kissing in LA. A source reveals, “Emma and Chord had a brief blip, as Emma was anxious about being part of a high-profile couple. But she couldn’t deny her feelings for Chord, and has told friends she thinks he’s The One. Emma isn’t one to flaunt her romance and she’s never dated an actor before, but she’s so happy she doesn’t care who knows. She’s so excited for their future.”…

Michelle has been best friends with Jordan – real name Katie Price – for 16 years. She was a bridesmaid at her lavish £1million wedding to Peter Andre in 2005, while the former glamour model is godmother to Michelle’s daughter Faith. And while Michelle has kept tight-lipped on her best pal’s personal life, she admits she’s delighted that Jordan has found love again with personal trainer Kris Boyson. She says, “I want Kate to be happy. I love [her estranged husband] Kieran [Hayler], I loved all of her ex partners! I’m sure Kris will be just as lovely – and of course all I want is for her to be happy.”…

Brand consultant and founder of London PR company EastofEden, Nick Ede, tells Closer , “Once a celebrity gets used to a lavish lifestyle, it becomes near impossible to scale down from that. Hollywood fame is so linked to wealth and status, and spending money on ridiculously extravagant items to prove you have both those things. “So celebrities often become addicted to spending, because they see it as a way to boost their esteem, or appear to still be relevant and successful. That’s why so many people in the public eye work well into old age – it’s to fund their lifestyle. “Also, celebrities often have family members they take care of, by lavishing them with gifts or financing their lifestyles. It’s hard to have all this wealth and not share…

After confirming their shock split in May, Jacqueline Jossa welcomed her second child – a baby girl named Mia – with estranged husband Dan Osborne last week. Proud dad Dan, 26 – who is also a father to son Teddy from a previous relationship – announced the news on his Instagram page, with a picture of the couple’s three-year-old daughter Ella holding their new arrival. The star captioned the adorable snap, “2/3 of my ABSOLUTE WORLD! Welcome to the world Mia Osborne. Jacqueline did amazing.” Despite a question mark remaining over the pair’s future in recent weeks, insiders say Jacqueline, 25, is hopeful their new arrival will mark a new chapter for the couple. A source says, “They’re both besotted with the baby, and introducing her to Ella was a…

She’s gone under the knife three times in the past year, having the same bottom-enhancing procedure Kim Kardashian is rumoured to have had, but when we meet Jemma Lucy just eight weeks after her most recent op, she admits she’s still on her quest for the body of her dreams. “I don’t think I will ever be satisfied,” she admits. “I want a really curvy body with a massive bum and massive legs – I love [US model] Amber Rose’s body.” Reality star Jemma, 30, who starred in Ex On The Beach in 2015 and last summer’s Celebrity Big Brother, had the bum-boosting operation, called body contouring, in Turkey in May, just eight months after her second procedure – and a year after the first. She says, “As soon as…

TIFFANY How much do you spend per week? I typically spend about £50 on food, because I eat out a lot during the week. I tend to do most of my shopping online on Ocado, or I head to my local Waitrose. Describe your daily diet... Breakfast is usually oats in the morning with almond milk, vegan protein, almond butter and topped with banana and cinammon. Lunch is normally an edamame bean pasta mixed with tofu, mushrooms, onions and broccoli in a tomato sauce, and dinner is normally tofu, quinoa and veg. I snack on yoghurt mixed with vegan protein powder, almonds, or apples and bananas. Is there anything you refuse to eat? I’ve been vegan for a few years so I won’t have meat or dairy, but I also…

RELATIONSHIPS YOU NEED TO TALK AFTER A TRAUMA Ariana Grande has PTSD after the Manchester bombing, but feels she “shouldn’t” talk about it. Emma says opening up is key A year after the Manchester bombing claimed 22 innocent people, I still feel astonished at what happened to my beautiful city. Ariana Grande, like many who were directly affected, has revealed she has PTSD. The singer, who had just finished her concert when a suicide bomber detonated an explosive device, said, “It’s hard to talk about because so many people have suffered such severe, tremendous loss. I feel like I shouldn’t even be talking about my own experience.” This is often how you feel when you survive trauma – a sense of guilt that you walked away. But it is essential…

You’ve bagged some top names [Alesha Dixon, Will Young, Paddy McGuinness and more] for this new series – why do you think the celebs want to open up to you? I’ve been told I have something of a laddish persona, and if you’re a bloke who’s going to reveal something about yourself, then you need to do that to someone who’s likely to be a bit laddish like you. In some respects, I think that probably plays in my favour. Who’s been your most surprising guest this series? Professor Green was fascinating. Him and Will Young. I could do another hour’s interview with them both, because there are so many layers to them as individuals. On this series, I knew quite a few people: Gabby [Logan] I would class as…

The British Army prepare to send Phil into Syria. Judging by this pic, he should put the willies up ISIS. Gem’s back-tracked on claims she filmed a sex-tape, but we can’t help but wonder why poor “Gordon” looks so haunted…. COURTNEY GREEN That happened to us once, Courtney. We dreamt we were eating a giant marshmallow – when we woke up the pillow had disappeared! LUCY WATSON Totally agree, Lucy.

‘HIS OBSESSION WITH KIM HAS KEPT THEIR MARRIAGE AFLOAT’ He’s never one to shy away from controversy, but Kanye West shocked fans when he admitted he has regularly contemplated suicide. The rapper – who suffered a mental breakdown in 2016, and is famed for his erratic and extreme behaviour – also revealed in an interview last week that he genuinely had feared his wife Kim Kardashian would leave him. Now friends reveal that Kim – who shares North, six, Saint, two, and five-month-old Chicago with Kanye – has been struggling to support her husband, and that his behaviour has had a profound impact on her. PARANOID A source says, “Kim loves Kanye and would do anything for him, but the reality of being married to someone who at times can…

‘ DAVID’S EXTREMELY UPSET – HE WANTS TO PROTECT HER HOWEVER HE CAN’ There was upsetting news for the Beckham family last week when it was revealed David’s younger sister, Joanne, had split from her boyfriend Kris Donnelly just six months after welcoming their first child, Peggy, together. And pals say Victoria, 44, has been left upset for her sister-in-law, 36, who she’s been supporting in the wake of her relationship breakdown from the former Big Brother star. BARELY SPEAKING Friends of the pair – who’ve been dating since last April – claimed they drifted apart under the stresses of parenthood and are now “barely speaking” and living separately. Joanne and Posh have always been close, regularly attending football matches and basketball games together over the years. Hairdresser Joanne was…

DANIELLE & FERNE ‘Eating clean has transformed our bodies’ Former TOWIE castmates Ferne McCann and Danielle Armstrong looked toned and confident as they relaxed in Spain last week. But both stars have undergone body transformations, admitting to swapping wild nights out for power sessions in the gym. Ferne, 27 – who has seven-month-old daughter, Sunday – shocked fans in February when she unveiled her size 10 figure and flat stomach just three months after giving birth. The star – who was a size 12 ahead of falling pregnant – followed an intensive 30 Day Challenge, involving daily workouts and cutting out all processed foods. She now keeps in shape with intense sessions with a personal trainer three times a week, recently admitting, “My body shape has changed completely. I’ve cut…

The theme for this year’s No2H8 Crime Awards is Upstanders And Not Bystanders. It aims to show people the importance of challenging hatred, intolerance and bigotry safely. If you see a hate crime, always remember to: • Wait for the perpetrator to leave and ask the victim if they want help. If the situation looks as though it is getting violent or out of hand, call the police immediately • Offer to listen to the victim and contact the police • If on a train or bus, sit with the victim and reassure them that they are not alone, while waiting for help • Take the victim to a safe place away from where the incident happened • Stay until the police arrive and the victim feels ready to make…

The 2006 World Cup created the WAG. In fact, it put the footballers’ ‘Wives And Girlfriends’ so high on the radar, they eclipsed the players. Everyone was captivated by the likes of Victoria Beckham, Cheryl Cole, Coleen Rooney and Alex Gerrard, as they caused a riot at Baden-Baden, dancing on tables, splurging £57k on shopping sprees and racking up hotel bills of £25k. But this year it’s been an entirely different story. The 2018 Wags – who include mum of three Annie Kilner and former shop assistant Paige Milian – have kept an incredibly low profile, with arguably the most famous of them, Rebekah Vardy, even claiming they were keen to ditch the tag, saying, “WAG is a dated term, because we’re not defined by what our husbands do. We’re…

As the hook-ups and heartaches continue in the villa, the current contestants appear to be a disappointing reflection of modern dating, with its “throwaway” relationship culture. Last week heralded one of the biggest bombshells of the series so far, when Wes Nelson ditched Laura Anderson – whom he’d previously professed to be “falling for” – in favour of Megan Barton-Hanson, with the pair ending up in bed together for a devastated Laura to witness. However, Megan swiftly shared a bed with new Islander Alex Miller. The betrayal shocked viewers, with many claiming it reflects life in the real dating world. One fan wrote on Twitter, “What’s wrong with dating in this era...! Not willing to fight for something because people are just so disposable!” Another Tweeted, “Wes is a prime…

Former Love Islander Eyal Booker, 22 – who was coupled up with Megan, 24, in the villa before she dumped him for Wes – says, “During our relationship, I asked for reassurance from Megan in order to put my mind at ease, because there were things that I was questioning. She gave me that reassurance – but now I know she was telling me what I wanted to hear, not what she was really feeling. She wasn’t as innocent as she seemed – I think she was game-playing. “I was shocked at how quickly she moved on. I felt a bit used afterwards and think she could have acted in a more respectful way. She’s now done the same to Wes – and each time someone comes in who is…

Singer Shania Twain revealed last week that she has never given her 16-year-old son, Eja, a birthday present because she doesn’t want to spoil him. I love her, but I think Shania has been a little extreme here. You’re not spoiling your child if you buy them a birthday present – it’s a special occasion! I’m ashamed to say that my children have given me lists in the past and I’ve bought them everything on them! For the rest of the year, they will earn money by working and buy themselves things. But birthdays are celebrations and I love my kids, so I want to treat them. Maybe I overdo it, but they’ve turned out amazing so I think I’ve done good!…

He was once one of Hollywood’s most renowned bachelors. But after marrying wife Amal in 2014 and welcoming twins Ella and Alexander in June 2017, insiders say George Clooney is a changed man. Pictured carrying his son while Amal held their daughter as they disembarked from their private jet in Sardinia, Italy, last week, sources say the actor has been slowing down his movie career, as he’s been encouraged by his human rights lawyer wife to put their family first. The source reveals, “When George is on set, directing or starring in a film, it’s a huge undertaking. After welcoming the twins, he was really keen to focus on his family. Pals say George is a completely different man now that he’s a father, and that’s all thanks to Amal.…

NICOLAS CAGE Actor Nicolas earned a reported £112 million between 1996 and 2011. But by 2009, he was said to be £4.6million in debt. Insiders claim he spent £338,000 on the late Shah of Iran’s Lamborghini, and outbid Leonardo DiCaprio for a 70-million-year-old dinosaur skull. The £207k artifact turned out to be stolen, however, and Cage returned it to the Mongolian government. MICHAEL JACKSON Jacko died reportedly £376 million in debt. Known for his lavish spending, he splashed out £10 million in 1988 on his Neverland Ranch – complete with its own funfair and zoo – and £35 million for the rights to the Beatles’ songs, outbidding Paul McCartney himself.
