The Spill: Wednesday's best entertainment and gossip news.

 

1. Get your calendars out, Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth will be officially single in February.

Well, it’s certainly been a wild ride.

After ten years of being in an on and off again relationship and eight short months of marriage, Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are officially divorced.

According to TMZ, a  judge approved the pair’s divorce papers on Tuesday.

The publication also reports the judge postdated Miley and Liam’s single status, meaning neither Miley or Liam will be officially single until February 22. Sorry ladies, it’s not quite in time for Valentine’s Day.

Miley, who is currently dating Aussie singer Cody Simpson, married Liam back in December 2018.

The couple later announced their separation in August 2019, with Liam filing for divorce that same month.

Throughout the divorce, Miley was represented by lawyer Judith R. Foreman while Liam was represented by top celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who has previously worked with celebs of the likes of Ashton Kutcher, Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Heidi Klum and Ryan Reynolds.

Here’s hoping both Miley and Liam find what they’re looking for.

2. It’s not a showmance, people. Ryan Gallagher and Charlotte Crosby want to make it work outside the jungle.

From the moment Charlotte Crosby and Ryan Gallagher started their jungle romance on I‘m Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, everyone was, well… confused. 

Some viewers even went so far as to label their seemingly authentic relationship a “showmance” that was being put on for the sake of ratings.

But now Ryan and Charlotte are putting the rumours to bed. They want everyone to know reality TV love is ~real~.

After being eliminated from the show on Tuesday night, Ryan told  Now To Love he “120 per cent” wants to continue his relationship with the Geordie Shore star in the outside world.

“Yeah, I’ll wait for her to come out in a few days. We’ve spoken about it. 120 per cent, I would love to,” he said.

Before being booted out of the jungle, Ryan and Charlotte shared a teary goodbye.

“It wasn’t easy saying goodbye to her,” Ryan told the publication.
“We’ve never been apart, for 26 days straight. We talk all day, talk for hours on end, so it is sad. It’s the first time we’ve been apart.”
Best we watch this space.

3. Brad Pitt wore a name tag to an Oscars event and honey, we all know who you are.

Brad Pitt just tried to be a ‘regular person’ and made it very obvious that he is simply much too famous for that.

The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actor attended an Oscars nominee luncheon on Monday where he wore a nametag with his name on it. And yes, sir, we like… know who you are. We literally shelled out $21.75 to watch your bromance with Leonardo DiCaprio, can you please tell us whether you and Jennifer Aniston getting back together? Y/N???

Now we know the 56-year-old was probably being dashingly polite and was just wearing the tag he had been given, but still. It's literally Brad Pitt. His name is referenced in a Shania Twain song.

Naturally, the internet took notice too.

4. "Like going from two to 3,000!" Blake Lively on parenting three kids under five.

Now that Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are the parents of three children, their lives have changed as they know it.

The couple share three daughters - James,  born in 2014, Inez born in 2016 and a third and so far unnamed daughter who Blake gave birth to in October 2019.

Currently promoting her latest film, The Rhythm Section, the actress appeared on Good Morning America where she spoke about being "outnumbered" by her children.

"At one point, we had three, four and under," she said.

"It's like going from two to 3,000! We have so many children. It's pretty crazy. We're outnumbered. It's a lot."

Despite it all, Lively is hanging on.

"People say that from two to three, it's the same, it's kind of easy. Those people do not have three kids. It is crazy," she continued.

"It is real crazy. But I'm here."

5. New teams and Instagram fame: What the stars of Netflix's Cheer are doing now.

If you had told us a few weeks ago that by the end of January we’d be following 20 cheerleaders and their coach on Instagram, we wouldn’t have believed it.

But… Here we are. Scrolling our feed, double-tapping on Gabi Butler’s photos and laughing at Jerry memes on his story.

Because we, like much of the world, watched Netflix cheerleading docuseries Cheer and became much, much too invested in the lives of the Navarro cheer team and their coach, Monica Aldama.

With Netflix keeping quiet on whether a season two is on the cards, we're not sure if we'll get an official look at what our favourite cheerleaders have been up to since we left them after 2019's Daytona win.

So we did a little investigating ourselves, to see how Morgan, Lexi, Jerry, LaDarius, Gabi and the others are going.

As we heard in the finale episode of Cheer, Gabi left Navarro to move home to Florida. She now cheers for Top Gun in Miami, has relaunched her YouTube channel with behind-the-scenes footage from Navarro's trip to Daytona and, get this: She's also gained more than 700,000 followers since the series dropped.

Gabi's reportedly dating Florida football player Jordan Brooks-Wess.
