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

 

1. Jordyn Woods is doing just fine without the Kardashians, thank you very much.

For the past few months, people have been convinced Jordyn Woods exists on this earth purely for two reasons: to be Kylie Jenner’s best friend, and to hook up with Tristan Thompson.

But, as it turns out, Jordyn Woods doesn't even need the Kardashians. In fact, she's worth a cool US$6 million on her own, thank you very much.

Watch the trailer for the Keeping up with the Kardashians season 16 finale below. Post continues after.

And she's doing perfectly fine – if not better – since the cheating scandal first broke.

We know this thanks to her latest Instagram post teasing a collaboration with clothing brand Boohoo.

While being ~Kylie Jenner’s best friend~ has certainly played a large part in helping Jordyn grow her platform, she’s definitely worked hard to get to where she is today, without being part of the Kardashian machine.

Jordyn has 10 million followers on Instagram and while it's unclear exactly what Jordyn makes per sponsored post, judging by Hopper HQ’s 2018 Instagram Rich List, it's safe to assume that she earns around $16,000 per post.

She also signed to Ford models long before she knew the family, and has had a steady amount of work for years. While she did model for Khloé’s brand Good American, she's also worked outside the Kardashian brand before.

Plus, this month she made her first major acting debut on an episode of Grown-ish.

Yep. She's doing juuuuust fine.

In completely unanticipated news, Dr. Phil will be attending the Parisian wedding of musician Joe Jonas and his fiance, Game of Thrones' Sophie Turner.

But strangeness aside, it appears to be in our favour, because he is... spilling all the tea.

We already knew, thanks to Sophie Turner's life coach on Instagram, that the wedding is going to be held during the Parisian summer.

This appeared to be confirmed by an Instagram photo of the pair in Paris this week.

But the question remained... when?!

Luckily, Dr Phil let it slip.

"Easy now! 1 week to go!" he commented on the aforementioned Instagram. "Ha! See you at the wedding!"

Dammit Phil, they were trying to keep it a secret.

Based on the Instagram date being posted, it's likely June 30 will be the wedding date.

CONTENT WARNING: This post deals with violence against women. 

All Big Little Lies fan know the horror of watching Alexander Skarsgard be in an abusive relationship with Nicole Kidman. But few of us have considered the impact of filming the scenes.

In an interview with KIIS FM, the 42-year-old actor said the emotional scenes took a toll on him.

“Those scenes were obviously quite intense to shoot,” he said.

"Shooting those scenes were horrible. Absolutely horrible.”

He added that Nicole Kidman was an "incredible" actress to work with.

"She’s not only an incredible actress but she’s also like the most lovely and generous and sweet woman,” he said, explaining that she didn't use a stunt double for the scenes.

“For the build-up of the intensity of those scenes it helps when you don’t jump it up. When you can shoot the whole scene as one fluid motion, it helps make it more authentic to build up that rage," he said.

“But of course it was very difficult. We were both incredibly drained and Nicole bruised after those days.”

5. Meghan Markle is every woman who wished she could just change her engagement ring… just a little.

When Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced their engagement in 2017, the world was obsessed with the three-stone diamond engagement ring wrapped around the former actress’ finger.

Yep, we were, and we won’t even try and deny it.

You see, there was a deeply personal story behind the ring: Prince Harry had designed Meghan’s engagement ring himself, he’d sourced the main stone from Botswana, where he and Meghan had holidayed together for her 36th birthday, and included two small diamonds from his mother, the late Princess Diana’s personal collection.

But now, her ring looks ever-so-slightly different. Check out the changes in our earlier post here.
