Celeb in 5: Tuesday's best entertainment and gossip news.

 

1. The nine-year family battle that Jess says still affects her mother-in-law Fatima.

On Bride & Prejudice, Fatima Abazovski has been labelled the “mother-in-law from hell”.

And it’s not hard to see why, over the course of this season Fatima has described her son Seyat’s fiancée Jess as a “prostitute” and a “wh*re”.

But according to Jess, there may be a deeper issue lurking behind Fatima’s behaviour on the reality show.

Speaking to New Idea, 21-year-old bride-to-be Jess said that she “feels sorry” for her mother-in-law.

"I thought it was really sad and I felt sorry for Seyat and his mum and his family, but I didn't treat anybody any differently because of that," Jess told the magazine.

Jess explained how an event nine years ago has taken a toll on Seyat's family.

Speaking about how his 22-year-old brother was diagnosed with schizophrenia at age 13, Seyat explained: "He used to be a normal kid and now he doesn't have a normal life... he just chills at home and does nothing."

Jess and Seyat's wedding will air on Bride & Prejudice tonight.

2. Mel B met up with a very famous man for sex… and it was “horribly awkward”.

Erm.

This is awkward.

In a new extract from her upcoming memoir Brutally Honest, Mel B has shared the incredibly embarrassing details of her sexual encounter with a very famous man.

According to The SunMel described how she used a "secret website" to select a famous man based on a photo of "erect privates lined up against milk cartons".

Uh, OK then.

Mel wrote: "I was in Soho House on a night out with a couple of girlfriends when the images came through.

"I shut my laptop. Then, obviously, opened it again. We spent the next few hours laughing and gawping," she continued.

"A few days later, I met him (young, handsome, very famous) in a hotel room. It was horribly awkward and nothing happened (it was obviously easier with a milk carton)."

Mel added that she later tried again with "another famous penis in another hotel room", but experienced the same disappointing result.

3. MAFS star Tracey Jewel has penned an emotional open letter to her trolls.

After a difficult year, former Married At First Sight star Tracey Jewel  has posted an open letter to her trolls on Instagram.

The 35-year-old said she'd been "debating posting this for a while", but ultimately, felt she really needed to draw some boundaries around the bullying she's experienced.

"I don't have limitless energy to fight this every day," she wrote in the post.

Jewel, who was 'married' to Dean Wells on the 2018 season of MAFS, explained there's one troll whom has been especially challenging.

And ultimately, the bullying has taken its toll.

"I've been very open about my struggles with anxiety partly caused by the ongoing barrage of messages and emails I receive. I've lost sleep, sworn to close my accounts, been defensive, run away and outted them," she wrote.

"I'm not perfect, I've made mistakes and I just want to connect and make the world a little less lonely and share our struggles together. I can't spend my days waiting to block another one."

Jewel explained that the cyberbullying is a battle she just can't seem to win.

"I report and block and they just come back with a new fake account. They know where I live, when I see my daughter and tell me they won't stop until they ruin me."

Jewel said that whilst social media can be a warm community, the negativity is immensely draining.

"The world is so much bigger than social media... My account will probably lose some followers over this... but that's OK... I hope we all find peace x."

4. The Sex and the City 3 movie plot has finally been revealed and now we’re glad it wasn’t made.

The mythical third instalment of the Sex and the City movie has been consistently teased right in front of our faces, but considering the potential plot line, we're kind of glad the film never made it to production.

Thanks to the Origins podcast, headed by James Andrew Miller, the latest episode 'Sex and the City: 1, 2, & Out' takes a deep-dive into exactly why the third film was never made, despite the filming date set for October 20. And the very public feud between Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker, might have had quite a bit to do with it.

"People close to Kim believe that the script didn't have a lot to offer the character of Samantha," said Miller.

"They point to the fact that it calls for Mr Big to die of a heart attack in the shower, relatively early on in the film, making the remainder of the movie more about how Carrie recovers from Big's death than about the relationship between the four women."

To be honest, we don't know how to feel about a Mr Big-less SATC, but Chris Noth seemed to be all for the potential demise of his character... perhaps another reason why it's a good the third film never saw the light of day.

"I really hate corny stuff and it could be because I'm a little bit of a cynic. Like, the whole thing at the end of the movie in the shoe closet - hated it," Noth said.

"Hated the thing at the end of the movie after I felt she deceived me and then I say, 'Well, it's time I give you a bigger diamond ring.' Hated it. I just hate the cornball shit and I thought it was just really sentimental and overly romantic without any feet in realism."

And while we see his point... there's no need to be killing off much-loved characters for the sake of #drama.

5. Mandy Moore just wore a totally non-traditional (but absolutely beautiful) wedding dress.

This Is Us star Mandy Moore married her fiancé Taylor Goldsmith in a low-key, private ceremony on Sunday wearing a non-traditional (but absolutely beautiful) wedding dress.

Moore’s friend and makeup artist Jen Streicher shared the first image of the 33-year-old bride’s wedding dress on Instagram, before uh, deleting it and then reposting it again hours later.

In it, Moore is wearing a beautiful tiered tulle Rodarte gown in… wait for it…

PINK.

Yep, it’s pink and has ruffles and flowers and is just super gorgeous and unexpected. And from the photos, it looks like she also had matchy, glittery pink makeup.
