Rebel Wilson buys a huge London mansion as she hunts for a British boyfriend
REBEL WILSON is looking for love – and may just find it with a Brit, after revealing she is plotting a move to the UK.
The Pitch Perfect actress, who is from Australia but currently lives in Los Angeles, has already bought a London home and is planning to spend more time here as she seeks a boyfriend.
Earlier this year she spent time in Liverpool and Wales, shooting her upcoming film drama The Almond And The Seahorse, which is when she bought her property in the capital.
Rebel said: “I love England. I’ve bought a place in London so I’m sure I’ll be spending a lot more time there in future.”
In the past 18 months she has undergone an entire lifestyle overhaul, shedding 5½st – and now she is eager to find someone to share her life with.
Rebel said: “I am someone who is established in my career so is definitely on the hunt for love – but it has to be the right person.”
The actress, who split from billionaire Jacob Busch in February after less than a year, continued: “I give it a go, I put myself out there. I’ve definitely been trying to open my heart and find someone amazing.
"I’ve definitely found some amazing people, it just hasn’t been totally right. I’m still on the hunt.”
However, potential suitors should avoid sliding into Rebel’s DMs on social media.
NEGATIVE COMMENTS
She admitted she doesn’t look at messages unless they are from people she follows, because she struggles to deal with negative comments.
Rebel said: “Don’t ever DM me, guys, if you’re not someone I follow, because I won’t read it.
“It’s just like opening a gate to things that you don’t know. There could be d*** pics, there could be anything in those DMs.
“I tend to just not look at it because as a human being you get a bit sad if someone writes something mean about you.
“Randoms on the internet don’t really know you so you shouldn’t get offended about what they might say.”
Big Mac and fried
ANNIE Mac spent 17 years playing dance bangers on Radio 1 so it’s only right she went out with a mammoth party.
The DJ hosted her final show on the station on Friday night, then rented out the penthouse suite at the Edition Hotel in London for a huge bash.
Heading the guest list were fellow DJs Clara Amfo, Nick Grimshaw, Trevor Nelson, and Jodie Harsh plus MC Skepta and singer Mahalia, who helped keep the farewell party going into the small hours.
I doubt the guests staying in the rest of the hotel were too impressed.
And while there wasn’t a bar in the room, they filled up the bath with ice and packed it with drinks.
She also had personalised pizzas delivered but I’m guessing Grimmy didn’t eat much, as the next day he said he had the worst hangover of 2021 so far.
Making a speech at the end of the night, Annie told her guests: “Thank you all for coming tonight, it has been legen-f***ing-dary.
“It’s been really emotional and I’m absolutely smashed. And that was the intention.”
Annie will be missed.
The Great British Beck off
AFTER the success of his cooking tutorials on Instagram, Brooklyn Beckham is preparing to strike out in his new career as a chef.
The eldest of David and Victoria's offspring is now in talks with YouTube and Facebook about creating an online cookery series.
Brooklyn, who previously tried to make his mark as a photographer, is said to be hopeful the gig will get off the ground in just a few months.
A source said: “Brooklyn’s got a real flair in the kitchen and the tutorials he has posted on Instagram have received great feedback.
“He has been signed up by an American called Kai Gayoso, who is a digital talent expert.
“Kai thinks Brooklyn could make an online cookery series a huge success.
“Talks are on- going with YouTube and Facebook about what Brooklyn can offer.
He has a huge fan base, with more than 12.5 million followers on Instagram, so it’s definitely going to be well received.
“Brooklyn takes real pride in his cooking and has been given some handy hints and tips by Gordon Ramsay, who is a close friend of the family.
“It’s all incredibly exciting and Victoria and David are thrilled.”
I bet they are.
Even so, on his Instagram tutorials so far, Brooklyn has shown off recipes for hearty steak quesadillas, French toast and what looks like a very unhealthy burger with four patties.
Maybe next time he will create some mega-healthy nosh that’s a bit more suitable for his mum.
I can’t see her touching any of these artery-clogging creations.
Metal Megan's rock bottom
MEGAN Thee Stallion paid tribute to the world of heavy rock by wearing a thong leotard made from classic T-shirts.
The outrageous WAP rapper twerked on stage at Lollapalooza in the tight-fitting outfit, which featured the logos of AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Guns n' Roses and KISS.
She drew an audience of 180,000 on Saturday – the biggest crowd of the four-day event in Chicago which also featured Miley Cyrus and Post Malone on the bill.
It’s a real shame we haven’t been able to enjoy festivals this big in the UK so far this year, with Glastonbury cancelled due to Covid fears.
But with Megan jetting over next month to perform at Manchester’s Parklife, fans can look forward to seeing her at another major show before too long.
Gold medallist Chris Mears says he lost joy of diving
GOLD medal-winning diver Chris Mears has revealed why he retired from the sport to become a music producer, saying his Olympic talents were no longer bringing him joy.
Chris became “bitter about a lot of stuff” which led to his retirement in 2019.
He explained: “I realised I can’t take any more of being a diver – I can’t do it.
“I forced myself to get through it, and everyone else forced me to get through it. They thought I would turn a corner but the corner never got turned.
“The only way it got turned was for me to step away and move on and carve out a new career for myself. I’d like to think I was doing well but I was not at all.”
Chris, who won the synchronized three-metre springboard event in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 with Jack Laugher, was talking to the Dangerous Dinners podcast.
He added: “It’s only in the last year I’ve felt really great, back to normal – that fire, that energy, that magic that made me do all of the stuff I did before.”
HRVY parents on red alert
HRVY’s come up with a clever trick to stop his parents barging in when he’s entertaining a love interest at his house.
The Strictly star said of his new home: “It is actually right next door to my mum and dad’s house.
"It’s sweet but when I mean next door, I lift up my fence panel and walk in their back door when I’ve run out of milk.
“To make it so that they don’t just come around when I’ve got people around, at the front of the house I’ve got these lights you can change the colour of. So whenever I’ve got people around I change them to red.”
But on the unfortunate nickname his house has now been given, HRVY told the Private Parts podcast: “My mum calls it the red-light district.”
Donda out Friday (maybe)
KANYE West is taking another shot at releasing his album.
He has announced a listening event for his record, Donda, at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Thursday – a fortnight after doing the same event, then back-tracking on the record’s release.
It had been due to be out hours later but he decided to pull the release and move into the venue to fine-tune it.
That included working on a Jay-Z collaboration which had been added as the final track just hours before the playback.
It follows a near decade fallout between the rappers.
