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

 

1. Rami Malek has addressed the moment Nicole Kidman snubbed him at the Golden Globes.

He was one of the biggest winners at this year’s Golden Globes.

But despite it all, Rami Malek is still incredibly relatable.

The Bohemian Rhapsody star, who won a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, faced an incredibly awkward moment at the Golden Globes when he was snubbed by presenter Nicole Kidman.

After reaching the stage to accept his award, the actor tried to hug Nicole before she turned away and left the stage.

Eek.

You can watch a clip of the awkward moment below. 

To make matters worse, the actor was forced to relive the moment on talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live yesterday.

“I’ve known her for many years, despite as it may seem from that video,” Rami told Kimmel. “So, I thought I could easily go up and say hi.”

“Very awkward,” he added, hiding his face in embarrassment.

“I have a feeling this is haunting me on the internet.”

Oh, Rami.

2.“If it’s not five star.” Taite Radley jokes about Ali Oetjen’s expensive tastes.

We’re aware this makes us sound like… terrible people… but we kinda love it when we see couples having petty arguments on social media.

Especially when they come from ~the television~.

Today, we got a little glimpse into the private life of our newest Bachie couple Ali and Taite.

And it taught us a little something about Ali…

She fancy.

Sharing a beach snap with Ali slung around his neck firefighter style, Taite innocently asked his followers: “Where else can I take this one on a holiday?”

Ali, not one to shy away from social media PDA, commented sweetly, “As long as I’m with you beautiful man I’ll always be happy!”

But Taite, breaking the cardinal rule of coupledom (to our delight tbh), rebutted, “You said to me if it’s not 5 star you’re not coming.”

Something tells us Ali would NOT be happy Taite shared this with the world.

She tried to defend herself, commenting:  “Said the girl that loves camping under the stars! Uhuh!”

But Ali, you're so fancy, we already know.

...The emojis are fooling precisely no one.

(And also, same).

3. Melissa McCarthy shares the unbelievably awful question she’s been asked.

Melissa McCarthy may often play lovable, clumsy characters in her films - but the actress wants people to know her roles represent those who “aren’t so shined up and pretty and perfect” to remind us all that everyone is different.

But as one of the few women with a different body shape in Hollywood, she says it's not always easy, and at times, people aren't so understanding.

In an interview with InStyle, the 48-year-old said she’s constantly asked insensitive questions about her body - an issue men rarely face.

“I do remember another interview I did for Bridesmaids with somebody who later lost his job for a conversation he had on a bus with someone else," the actress told the publication.

"I won’t mention names, but just think about it. He kept asking, ‘Are you shocked that you actually work in this business at your tremendous size?’," she recalled.

How utterly horrible.

But - ever the professional, Melissa kept her composure as the cameras rolled.

“I thought, ‘With my tremendous size, I could tackle you so quickly.’ There were two cameras on him, and one was on me, and he went back to that question three or four times,” she said, adding that the "blood drained out of her" at the time.

Um, he sounds like nothing but a tremendous jerk.

She also shared a time another man from a “very big organisation” asked her at a press conference for The Heat or Tammy why she “always felt the need to be so grotesque”.

Eurgh.

Just, EURGH.

4. The gesture from Keith Urban that made Nicole Kidman realise he was “the one”.

They're one of Hollywood's most solid couples, but for Nicole Kidman and honourary Aussie, Keith Urban, there was one gesture that sealed their love with a gardenia-scented kiss.

Speaking to People, the Aquaman actress shared the one gesture from her then-boyfriend that cemented their relationship.

“It was my [38th] birthday, and he stood outside with gardenias at 5am on my stoop in New York,” said the 51-year-old.

“That is when I went, ‘This is the man I hope I get to marry.'”

She also shared their motorcycle getaway to Woodstock - the location of the 1969 festival of the same name - further convinced the actress that the country musician was truly the one.

“It was pretty intense,” she said.

“I believed by that point he was the love of my life. Maybe that’s because I am deeply romantic, or I’m an actress, or I have strong faith as well, but I just believed, ‘Oh, okay, here he is.'”

And they've continued to woo us with their love ever since.

5. Gwyneth Paltrow has finally explained why Brad Pitt always looks like his girlfriends.

It’s one of Hollywood’s most intriguing mysteries: why does Brad Pitt end up looking like the women he dates? Is he simply paying homage? Does his stylist do two-for-one deals? Is he some kind of reptilian shape-shifter?

From matching ponytails with Angelina Jolie in 2013, to the brunette bob in 1992 to match his then partner Juliette Lewis, it's an alarming trend that's been humouring and confusing the internet in equal measures.
