EVERY WEEKDAY MORNING, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the best of the day’s celebrity dirt from the top to the very bottom.
Robbie Williams added a very personal touch to a gift he gave his best pal.
The singer reportedly came up with the idea during a ‘rowdy evening’ with friends. Most of the terrible ideas we have after a few jars do not come to fruition, however Robbie had his heart set on following through with this one.
The 43-year-old had a mould of his penis taken, before having it shrunk down and cast into metal. The friend later returned the favour. A source close to the two men said “It’s a lot of effort to go through, but it was well worth it for both sides.”
The source also added that Robbie’s extremely confident in his body, and his previous comments about himself are pretty consist with that. The singer was not ashamed to say that his junk is “actually quite small” in an interview in 2015. He also shared a photo of himself in the nip under mistletoe to his Instagram profile on Christmas Day. (Mirror)
Serena Williams has revealed that she had to be quite persistent to have complications caused by giving birth acknowledged by healthcare professionals.
It’s bad enough when you think something’s up when you’re in a ward full of other people who are prioritised over you for whatever reason, but Serena Williams had the entire hospital floor cleared for herself when she was giving birth to her daughter Alexis.
In her Vogue feature, she revealed that she had to advise the doctors and nurses on the course of treatment she needed. The tennis star is prone to blood clots and has previously suffered with pulmonary embolisms (blood clots that travel to the lungs), but she wasn’t able to take her medication while she recovered from her emergency C-section.
She immediately recognised symptoms she was experiencing as those of a pulmonary embolism and told the nearest nurse to arrange a CT scan immediately. The nurse thought Serena was confused because of the pain killers she was taking and brushed it off, offering an ultrasound instead. Serena insisted on the CT scan, and it revealed – just as she expected – that blood clots had settled in her lungs.
In the end, Serena was grand, apart from requiring six weeks of bed rest after giving birth to Alexis. In fact, she’s already preparing to win her 25th Grand Slam title, to break Margaret Court’s record of 24. (Vogue)
Liam Gallagher thinks that Noel’s wife is the main obstacle in an Oasis reunion.
Noel has been fairly insistent that he’s not interested in an Oasis reunion, but Liam doesn’t seem to be buying it. Despite the fact that Noel has previously said that an Oasis reunion would “kill him as a person”, Liam told Q magazine that “[Noel's] desperate to get Oasis back but he knows he’s crossed that bridge.”
He continued, to say that Noel is “not allowed to, his missus won’t let him now”. Putting the final nail in the coffin of last month’s truce between the two men, Liam added that Noel’s “not a frontman”, and doesn’t have the skill to be centre of stage, which is why he’s not been able to do stadium gigs.
I don’t think our kid’s got it in him anymore, anyway. It seems to me like he’s playing to the snobs and the world and the toffs.
A sentiment Liam has been expressing for about two decades now at this stage. (Irish Mirror)
