EVERY WEEKDAY MORNING, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the best of the day’s celebrity dirt from the top to the very bottom.
82-year-old Mary Berry has admitted that she has a soft spot for her old co-star Paul Hollywood.
In an interview at a charity event, Mary Berry was asked if Paul Hollywood is ‘as sexy as he looks’ (what the hell kind of question is that?).
Anyway, she replied “I think you should be the judge of that”, before adding “He is quite sexy, but for goodness sake, don’t tell him.”
The pair no longer work together, but Paul previously told Jonathon Ross that he still texts her regularly. (Metro)
Chrissy Teigen shared her annoyance on Twitter when it was revealed she shares a birthday with Spongebob character Mr. Krabs.
Yesterday was an important day for both Chrissy Teigen and Mr. Krabs. It marked Mr. Krabs’ 75th birthday and Chrissy Teigen’s 32nd. Good Morning America shared a tweet congratulating Mr. Krabs, which promptly received an “Ahem…” from Chrissy Teigen.
Following this, other TV shows and businesses began to tweet stuff along the lines of “Happy birthday to Chrissy Teigen… and nobody else.” (Mashable)
Selena Gomez is facing criticism for sidestepping questions about why she’s working with Woody Allen despite the allegations made against him.
Although abusers in Hollywood are starting to face consequences for their actions, celebs remain as quiet as ever about the allegations made by Woody Allen’s adopted daughter Dylan Farrow, who claims that she was sexually abused by the filmmaker when she was seven.
Fans can’t comprehend how Selena Gomez, who made 13 Reasons Why (a show about sexual assault), is working with Allen despite the allegations. She was questioned in her Billboard Woman of the Year profile about whether she thought it was ethical to work with Woody Allen, in light of the claims made about him in the past.
The singer and actress said “To be honest, I’m not sure how to answer that — not because I’m trying to back away from it. [The Weinstein allegations] actually happened right after I had started [on the movie]. That’s something, yes, I had to face and discuss. I stepped back and thought ‘Wow, the universe works in interesting ways.” She added no further elaboration. (Teen Vogue)
