Naomi Campbell Opens Up About The Birth Of Her 2 Children For The First Time

Naomi Campbell has spoken for the first time about using a surrogate to become a mother.

The legendary model surprised the world in 2021, when she announced she had welcomed a baby girl at the age of 50. Two years later, she revealed her family had grown further, and she was also now a mum to a newborn son.

Because of the surprising nature of Naomi’s baby news, it led some to speculate whether she may have adopted or used a surrogate.

While she previously denied the former, she has now confirmed the latter to be the case in a new interview with The Times.

During her interview with the newspaper, Naomi admitted she thinks things in the UK are “slipping back” in terms of progress for minorities.

“I would put it this way: there are definitely groups who are against diversity in any form, whether they’re racist or homophobic, and they are not afraid to be open about it,” she said. “The world is in a culture war. It’s increasingly fragile.”

Naomi added that, as a mother, she feels “fear for the future”, noting: “My babies are everything to me.”

Asked whether she used a surrogate, she responded: “I did. I hope for a better world for my children. They are 110 per cent my priority. I have to be there for them on their first day at school.”

“I have heard a lot of young girls saying that it is too expensive to have children and they may not want them, and I have said, ‘You will change your mind. You will want to be a mum’,” Naomi continued.

“I understand economically it is tough. But my mum had nothing and she made it work. It’s worth it. It is so amazing.”

Naomi previously introduced her daughter – whose name she has not disclosed publicly – to the world in a cover photo-shoot for British Vogue magazine.

“She is the biggest blessing I could ever imagine. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done,” she told the magazine at the time.

“I always knew that one day I would be a mother, but it’s the biggest joy I could ever imagine. I’m lucky to have her and I know that.”

Following the birth of her son last year, Naomi described him as a “gift from God” while telling her Instagram followers: “It’s never too late to become a mother.”

This Is The 1 Presenter Richard Osman Believes Is The Hardest-Working In TV

Host of House Of Games, regular star on panel shows and author of the Thursday Murder Club series of books, Richard Osman is an incredibly booked and busy talent in the world of entertainment.

However, who does he think is the most hard-working person on TV?

We’re spoilt for choice with television at the moment, and there are plenty of contenders that could take the title, but on his podcast The Rest Is Entertainment with Marina Hyde, Richard revealed exactly who he thinks has been putting a real graft in.

Answering a question about the “hardest-working person in television”, Richard named Romesh Ranganathan as “top of the pile”.

“He does so much so brilliantly,” the former Pointless star enthused. “I love Romesh, I’ve never seen him do a show badly.”

Richard went on to say that Romesh is somebody that “everybody wants to work with”.

He also gave a nod to Romesh’s “huge” work ethic and said: “I could live without working. I like staying at home. I do shows that I love doing and because I do four or five a day and they’re on every day, it feels like [people like me] are working more than they are.

“With someone like Romesh, he’s doing lots of stuff abroad, he’s doing The Weakest Link, doing the [Radio 2] radio show now and does all this Sky stuff… he’s working his socks off.”

However, Richard believes that the “real” hardest working people in telly are actually behind the scenes.

Richard explained that in his own TV show, on the day of filming he may be the hardest working in the room, but, “for the four months before and four months after the show, everyone else is working incredibly long hours to make me and make the show look good”.

He said he believes that associate or assistant producers are likely the hardest working as they work between the researchers and producers, while helping both of them with their roles.

We Literally Can’t Stop Watching This Video Of Jack Grealish Struggling With A Confetti Cannon

Another day, another reason to absolutely love Jack Grealish.

The Manchester City winger and his teammates had major cause for celebration on Sunday, after beating West Ham at the Ethihad Stadium to win the Premier League, setting a new record in the process.

Despite not actually making it onto the pitch, Jack wasted zero time in joining the celebrations, as this montage from Optus Sport reveals:

However, there’s one clip in particular that we’ve not been able to stop watching since Sunday night.

To mark his team’s win, Jack was handed a confetti cannon on the pitch and… well… let’s just say he didn’t exactly get to grips with it easily:

Clearly we’re not the only ones who can’t stop replaying and replaying the scene, as it’s racked up more than a million views on X in less than a day.

“Never change,” Man City’s official social media accounts captioned their video of the moment, and we’re kind of inclined to agree with them.

Fortunately for Jack, he’s not the only high-profile star to struggle with a troublesome confetti cannon in recent history.

Earlier this month, former Nickelodeon star Jennette McCurdy decided to set her fear of “loud noises” aside and commemorate her memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died’s 80th week on the New York Times’ best-seller list with a celebratory TikTok.

Much like Jack, Jennette didn’t have the easiest time setting off her confetti cannon, and when she did manage it, her ear-piercing scream wound up becoming its own meme.

“Oh boy, my heart’s pounding so fast right now,” the former child star said said as confetti fell around her. “My heart is racing. I can hardly breathe. Oh my god.

“That was the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced. That’s what the next memoir is about.”

Hailey Bieber Reveals Her Biggest Pregnancy Craving: ‘You’re Not Allowed To Judge’

While that recipe might turn some stomachs, a 2014 study in the Frontiers in Psychology journal concluded that more than half of all pregnant women experience cravings for specific foods, due to rapid hormonal changes or the additional blood production during pregnancy.

Still, biological explanation or no, some fans couldn’t bring themselves to approve of Hailey’s meal.

“Hailey is so pregnant. Egg salad on a pickle with hot sauce. Girllllll,” wrote one user on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. Another commented: “‘Trying hailey bieber’s egg salad on top of pickle’ will soon be a trend on tiktok.”

“This will be the next important project for him. He’s so excited to raise his baby. They have a name that they think is perfect … They can’t wait.”

Olivia Rodrigo Laughs Off Wardrobe Malfunction: ‘I Almost Flashed You Guys’

Olivia Rodrigo handled an “embarrassing” wardrobe malfunction like a pro.

While performing her song Love Is Embarrassing during a London stop of her Guts world tour on earlier this week, Olivia suffered an unexpected wardrobe crisis when her bra top began to come undone.

In a viral clip shared on TikTok, the Grammy-winning singer is seen clutching her top after realising it’s come loose. A backup dancer then approaches her and tries to refasten the item as they continue dancing through the blunder.

“This is fucking embarrassing,” Olivia said with a laugh as she finished performing the song.

Fans reacted over the mishap in the comments section, with many joking about how the timing lined up perfectly with the aptly named tune.

“This malfunction happening to love is embarrassing is so true,” one person wrote.

“This was actually the perfect song for this to happen to,” another said.

Another TikTok video from the concert shows the Vampire crooner reemerging on stage after fixing her top. She tells the crowd: “I almost flashed you guys, but we’re OK now!”

Rosie Jones Deletes Twitter Account As She ‘Could Not Handle The Cesspit Of Hate’

Comedian Rosie Jones has confirmed she has deactivated her account on X (formerly Twitter) as she felt she could no longer “handle” the torrent of abuse directed at her.

Before deleting her account, Rosie posted a message – which was screenshotted by fan – reading: “I’ve not felt a lot of joy from this social platform in a long time, so to come on and see I’m trending, yet again, is exhausting.

“I could say comedy is subjective but the truth is the comments are hurtful. I used to love Twitter but I don’t care for this centre of hate.”

Over on Instagram, Rosie confirmed that she had “finally deactivated Twitter”, noting: “My god do I feel good about it.”

The Trip Hazard star – who has spoken candidly on the subject of the ableist online abuse she receives on a number of occasions – explained: “[I’m] still on [Instagram], I just could not handle the cesspit of hate. I used to love Twitter, but not what it had morphed into. It’s a no from me.”

Last year, Rosie told her fans she’d be “laying low” for a brief period, after a string of TV appearances led to her receiving a wave of yet more ableist abuse.

“Comedy is subjective and it’s OK if I’m not your cup of tea. But please remember the difference between personal preference and downright ableism,” she said at the time.

A year earlier, she tweeted: “Just a reminder… if you don’t find me, or another comedian, funny, that’s totally understandable. Comedy is subjective. BUT there’s no need to write your dislike for us on here, making sure to tag us into the tweet. Just change the channel and get on with your life, yeah?”

Before breaking through as a stand-up comic, Rosie – who has cerebral palsy – was a writer on panel shows like Would I Lie To You? and 8 Out Of 10 Cats, as well as penning an episode of the Netflix teen comedy Sex Education.

She has also acted in shows like Casualty and Call The Midwife.

The Yorkshire-born star has repeatedly used her platform to speak out about the discrimination that she and other disabled people face in modern Britain, most notably in a Channel 4 documentary released last year.

However, this doc proved to be divisive upon its release, as it featured an ableist slur in its title.

Sharon Stone Shares Heartbreaking Truth About Falling Out Of Favour In Hollywood

Posted on by

Sharon Stone says she’s “hurt” by the way the entertainment industry turned its back on her after a serious health crisis sidelined her career.

The actor gave a candid interview to Good Morning Britain about taking a break from Hollywood following a stroke and subsequent brain hemorrhage that almost killed her in 2001.

“My real first step of recovery was about seven years and that’s a long time to lose your momentum,” Sharon said to hosts Kate Garraway and Ed Balls on Thursday.

The star said shifting her focus to her health had a profound impact on her career, which soared throughout the ’90s with parts in Total Recall, Basic Instinct, Casino and more.

“In seven years, you’re no longer the flavour of the time, you no longer have box office heat,” Sharon explained. “The same people you were working with are no longer in power anymore.”

“Everything changes and people don’t really care about that person anymore,” she went on. “It’s like going back to your old job seven years later. It doesn’t matter if you’re a banker or a car salesman. Seven years go by, you don’t just walk back into your job and think nothing’s changed.”

Sharon admitted: “I was sort of hurt that the world moved on without me,” but said she has “kind of gotten over it” by now.

Later in the interview, she also spoke about living with an “invisible disability” from her brain injury, noting how “people can help you when they see you are walking with crutches but when you are having a bit of a problem with brain function, people don’t see that”.

Staying creative has been key for Sharon, who has taken up painting in the years since her life-threatening stroke and brain hemorrhage.

“When I get to be creative, whether it’s on film or on the canvas, I feel very much in my element and that all is right with the world,” she said.

Sharon’s paintings are currently the focus of two solo gallery shows. Sharon Stone: My Eternal Failure opened in San Francisco last month and she made her European debut with Totem, which runs through June in Berlin.
