Trisha Paytas has left fans shocked by snogging fellow YouTuber Jaclyn Hill’s ex-husband, Jon.

Yep, seriously.

Trisha, who previously trolled fans by ‘marrying’ a cardboard cutout of Brad Pitt, snapped some very PDA videos of herself kissing Jon, who was married to Jaclyn for nine years.

Also posting a photo of Jon kissing her on the cheek, the 31-year-old wrote: ‘Can’t wait to get pregnant tonight @jonhill822 I F***ING LOVE UUUUUUUUU.’

Naturally, fans have been left stunned by the whole thing.

‘This is some f***ing tea,’ one declared, with another adding: ‘Woah woah woah hell to the no.’

Another summed up everyone’s feelings by asking: ‘Uhhhh what?’

Jaclyn, who announced her divorce from Jon in 2018, didn’t mention the drama directly but made a reference to her current boyfriend, Jordan Farnum, on her social media.

Mentioning her love for Marvel’s The Amazing Spider-Man, the beauty guru said: ‘I used to have the biggest crush on [Andrew Garfield], you guys have no idea.’

Jaclyn zoomed in on a framed photo of herself and her beau, adding: ‘But now I have a crush on that guy. Only that guy.’

Earlier this year, Trisha faced backlash when she uploaded a video announcing she’s a transgender man.

The YouTube star shared a 15-minute video to her channel titled: ‘I am transgender (female to male). She began by telling viewers that her intention was not to cause offence or ‘set back a movement’, referring to the LGBTQ community.

However, viewers were confused when Trisha later said that while she one thousand percent ‘thinks’ she is transgender, she also ‘a thousand percent’ identifies with her ‘natural born gender’.

She later apologised for the language she used in the video, but reiterated that she identifies as male.

In a vlog titled ‘apology’, she said: ‘I am overwhelmed by the amount of backlash. I put out that video and in no way did I think I would get so much backlash and hate – and a ton of hate from the LGBTQ+ community.’

The former Celebrity Big Brother star added: ‘That alone breaks my heart so much because I would never want to offend that community.’

In her original video, Trisha said she intends to continue using female pronouns and her birth name.

Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for Trisha and Jaclyn for comment.

Paddy McGuinness has deleted his post in which he publicly mocked his good friend Peter Kay.

The Top Gear presenter reached out after the comedian had published a statement distancing himself from Channel 5’s documentary Peter Kay: In His Own Words, claiming that he was not involved with the film at all.

Responding to the post, Paddy joked: ‘Never mind that. When did you start speaking in the third person?’

After publishing the tweet, a number of fans replied to ask when Max And Paddy’s Road To Nowhere would be returning to the small screen – but the message has since disappeared from Paddy’s profile altogether.

Last night, Peter’s official Twitter account said that Channel 5’s film had an ‘incredibly misleading title’ as it did not include any new interviews from the Car Share star.

‘Very flattering of Channel 5 to commission the programme going out tonight but just to let people know that “Peter Kay: In His Own Words” has an incredibly misleading title, as it doesn’t feature any new interviews with Peter and all the footage is completely historic,’ the statement read.

It continued: ‘The title also gives the impression that Peter has been involved in the making of this documentary which he hasn’t. At all.’

Just hours later, Peter was photographed for the first time in eight months as he attended the panto.

The 48-year-old funnyman posed for a picture as he attended Nativity! The Musical in London to watch the show’s final performance and flashed a grin for the camera as he stood next to creatives.

Peter has been taking a break from the spotlight over the past 24 months after cancelling his tour at the end of 2017 over ‘unforeseen family circumstances’.

He confirmed the news on his website, apologising to those who had purchased tickets and insisted it wasn’t a decision he had taken lightly.

Metro.co.uk has contacted Paddy’s rep for comment.

The 25-year-old Emmy award winner and her new 35-year-old husband officially announced the news at the exact same time with the exact same photo uploaded to Instagram today.

Couple goals.

The photo features the newly weds in the back of a car together while Julia looks directly at the camera and Mark looks off into the distance.

The black and white effect shows off the couple’s striking attire, with Julia rocking a fur coat over her Danielle Frankel wedding dress.

They both captioned the photo: ’12/27/19′, alongside a single diamond ring emoji each.

Beautiful.

It’s unknown when Mark and Julia started dating but they got engaged in April this year.

Earlier this year, Julia’s performance in Ozark won a Primetime Emmy Award for outstanding supporting actress in a drama series.

She’s also starring in the upcoming thriller, The Assistant, which is inspired by Harvey Weinstein.

Julia plays a downtrodden assistant, terrified of her boss, with Kitty Green at the helm.

The movie is set over just one day of assistant Jane’s (Garner) life as a recent college graduate and aspiring film producer, who’s hired by a powerful entertainment industry boss.

According to the official synopsis: ‘Her day is much like any other assistant’s — making coffee, changing the paper in the copy machine, ordering lunch, arranging travel, taking phone messages, onboarding a new hire.

‘As Jane follows her daily routine, she, and we, grow increasingly aware of the abuse that insidiously colors every aspect of her work day, an accumulation of degradations against which Jane decides to take a stand, only to discover the true depth of the system into which she has entered.’

The Assistant is due to be released 31 January 2020.

Chris Packham has revealed that a dead fox has been left on his doorstep outside his home in the New Forrest.

The wildlife TV presenter, who is a vocal campaigner against fox hunting and animal cruelty, posted a video on social media claiming he’d found the creature’s corpse lying on his driveway.

Sharing the sick and heartbreaking discovery in a video, Chris said: ‘It seems if you stick up for foxes, you get your comeuppance from people who still think it is a good idea to kill them.’

The camera then panned to the fox’s body lying motionless on the concrete.

‘When I’ve come out into my yard, I found this, a lovely dog fox,’ Chris continued.

‘The injuries are consistent with it being snared. There’s a patch of naked skin you can see around the back of the animal here, which is a great shame because this creature was in the prime of its life.’

Chris added: ‘Wouldn’t it be good if we could just stop this fox hunting once and for all?

‘It’s illegal but it carries on and when you campaign against it, unpleasant things like this happen.

‘Surely it’s time to put the whole thing to bed and move on? Move on to a more civilised 21st-century society that we’re living in. That would be good.’

Chris confirmed that he does have CCTV footage on the property which will be reviewed.

He also clarified that the police have no been informed.

The devastating find comes just days after a man battered a fox to death by bashing against a car at a Boxing Day hunt.

Jake Paul shrugs off Tana Mongeau’s emotional video on Erika Costell and Alissa Violet as he ‘leaks’ boxing footage

Jake Paul has shrugged off Tana Mongeau‘s emotional video on their marriage, instead ‘leaking’ boxing footage on his own channel.

Tana, who married Jake back in August, recently uploaded an emotional video about their relationship, admitting she was ‘broken’ after seeing him with his exes Erika Costell and Alissa Violet.

However, instead of addressing the drama in his recent upload, he instead reacted to footage of himself sparring ahead of his boxing match with AnEsonGib.

The star, who previously won against KSI’s brother Deji, explained the footage, saying: ‘I’m watching my old bad habits and seeing the progression of how much better I’ve gotten.’

However, some fans weren’t impressed that he didn’t mention his wife Tana after she opened up.

‘I want a real talk of him about his side of that Jake-Tana situation,’ one said, with another adding: ‘Tana: Post a 40 minute video pouring her heart out about Jake Jake: FiGhT fOtAgE lEaKeD.’

After just a few months of marriage to the FaceTime singer, Jake faced scrutiny after he was spotted grabbing lunch with his ex Erika, and posting a romantic snap with another ex, Alissa.

In her new video,Tana, 21, confessed she’s ‘so unhappy’ with how her marriage has been portrayed over the past few months.

‘I’ve done so much pretending I don’t care when I do. I did so much of being the “cool girl” and not “caring” and I think I just put so much of myself into Jake that I lost myself,’ she explained to viewers.

‘It was the best feeling in the world to be so on the same page with someone, it was like a drug.’

Tana went on to explain how she battled with her mental health when people thought she was marrying Jake, 22, ‘for clout and fame’.

Shortly after their wedding, Jake was pictured hanging out with his ex Erika in Los Angeles and Tana recalls how she found out online.

‘I felt like I was opening my phone every day to something that just broke me further,’ she admitted.

‘Finding out about the Erika s**t on Twitter killed me, because Jake and I had so many conversations where he like villainised her, and I spent so much time trying to be everything she wasn’t.’

A pair of newlyweds have received an outpouring of love after sharing their story about facing terminal cancer, with Tom Walker performing at their wedding.

The sweet couple got married in a fairytale wedding after facing a difficult year, which saw the bride, Lauren, being diagnosed with cervical cancer, before it spread.

Marrying her beau, José, at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire earlier this year, viewers have been loving seeing the sweet couple enjoy their big day,

And to make it even better, Just You And I singer Tom, who is a friend of the couple and was a guest at the wedding, performed for them.


A video of the sweet couple, shared by BBC Radio 5 Live, has attracted more than a million views and thousands of comments, with viewers sharing the love for the pair.

Lauren added that she hopes her experience will inspire women to go to their smear tests, saying: ‘There are so many girls out there that are just terrified of even having the smear. Don’t be, get your smears girls.’

Reacting to the outpouring of love, the pair told BBC Radio 5 Live: ‘We are overwhelmed by the response the film has received.

‘We’ve had so many comments and messages from people all over the world who have said that our story has captured their hearts. Women have also been in touch to say they’re booking their smears as soon as possible.

‘We want to ensure people go and get screened, and really push for an answer if they feel something is wrong, and we feel the video really captures that message.

‘Hopefully our story will continue to touch people’s hearts and people can learn a valuable message from our experience.’

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! winner Jacqueline Jossa has taken a swipe at her fellow campmate Kate Garraway over her lovely attitude on the reality show.

Weeks after the former EastEnders star had taken the crown, she admitted that Good Morning Britain presenter Kate and co-star had been so nice while living Down Under it was verging on being ‘painful’.

Jacqueline made the revelation as the pair joined Alan Carr on his chat show Celebrity Re-Play, where he pushed for tea from the jungle.

Alan probed: ‘Now listen, I watched and you were all so nice to each other. She [Kate] must have turned at some point?’

Jacqueline earnestly replied: ‘No it was very painful. She was too nice.’

Kate added: ‘I got on her nerves.’

‘She said sorry about everything,’ Jacqueline continued, to which Kate jokingly apologised for.

Jacqueline was named champion of the 2019 series of I’m A Celebrity, beating the likes of Roman Kemp and Andy Whyment to the top spot in a nail-biting finale.

Alan Carr

The mum-of-two confessed just two weeks ago that she’s already ruined her jungle crown, telling Roman on his radio show that it ‘died’.

She continued: ‘I had to give back the sceptre thing.’

Truly devastating.

Since her win, it’s been reported that Jacqueline has been ‘flooded with television offers’ including the likes of Loose Women and This Morning.

A source close to the star said: ‘Jacqueline has also been inundated with telly opportunities but she’s biding her time and wants to concentrate on landing some more serious roles in the New Year.’

The insider added to The Sun: ‘She’s hoping to continue her career in serious drama and is attending castings.’

Alan Carr’s Celebrity Re-Play is available to stream on the ITV Hub.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker writer Chris Terrio sets record straight on perceived Rian Johnson shade

Star Wars or Star Writer Wars? (Picture: Rex)

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker writer Chris Terrio has denied the latest Star Wars film is a slight against the director of the last one, The Last Jedi.

The dismissal follows fan speculation that the latest movie walks back on plot points set out in its predecessor.

While Rian Johnson directed and wrote the Star Wars: The Last Jedi, J.J. Abrams directed the new one and 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Terrio, meanwhile, co-wrote the first and third film – but was not involved in Johnson’s efforts.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Terrio said: ‘I think it would be a bad misreading to think that that [the film] was somehow me and J.J. having an argument with Rian.’

OK then.

Now, some context (and also: spoiler alert) – some interpreted Luke Skywalker’s line in the latest film ‘a Jedi’s weapon deserves more respect’ as a dig at Johnson for having Luke discard his lightsaber in the last movie.

FILM HANDOUT: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Director: J.J.Abrams Starring: Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Anthony Daniels, Naomi Ackie, Domhnall Gleeson, Richard E. Grant, Lupita Nyong?o, Keri Russell, Joonas Suotamo, Kelly Marie Tran, and Billy Dee Williams WALT DISNEY 2019 Adam Driver is Kylo Ren in STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER

Terrio went on to explain: ‘Those people who see it as a meta-argument between J.J. and Rian are missing the point, I think.

‘At the end of The Last Jedi, Luke has changed.

‘It was more like we were in dialogue with Rian by using what Luke did at the beginning of The Last Jedi to now say that history will not repeat itself and all these characters have grown.’

So that settles it.

Terrio previously told Metro.co.uk that he was ‘challengedby some of Johnson’s creative choices on the last film.

‘Rian really set a challenge for us by saying the best good guy for many people, Luke Skywalker, is gone,’ Chris admitted at the European premiere of the movie.’

Murder Mystery was the most popular release on Netflix in the US, the streaming service has confirmed.

Stranger Things 3 also scored highly, as the company released information about audience viewing habits on Twitter.

The end-of-year list is based on the number of people in America who watched just two minutes of a TV show or film within the first 28 days of it being released on the platform.

Back in June, Netflix revealed that Murder Mystery had been watched 30,869,863 times within three days of it dropping.

Harvey Weinstein has been spotted eating ice cream alone ahead of his trial for accusations of rape and sexual misconduct next month.

The disgraced movie mogul was seen at the Molly Pitcher Inn in New Jersey eating two sundaes while doing paperwork, with eyewitnesses telling TMZ that he’d used a walker upon leaving the establishment.

Weinstein’s court case is due to start on 6 January in New York City, and could take up to two months to complete.

He is facing five charges of rape and sexual assault in 2006 and 2013 from two alleged victims.

It will reportedly be televised in America on Court TV.

The court appearance comes over two years after the New York Times published information of sexual assault allegations against Weinstein from actresses like Rose McGowan and Ashley Judd.

Many other industry players have since come forward with similar accusations, sparking the global #MeToo movement.

Weinstein has denied all allegations of sexual misconduct directed at him.

The Weinstein Company, which Weinstein presided over, is responsible for producing critical and commercial hits like The Reader, The Iron Lady and Silver Linings Playbook, all of which won Oscars.

Earlier this month, in his first interview in over a year, Weinstein told the New York Post that he felt like ‘the forgotten man.’

‘I made more movies directed by women and about women than any filmmaker, and I’m talking about 30 years ago,’ he said.

‘I’m not talking about now when it’s in vogue. I did it first. I pioneered it.’

He added: ‘My work has been forgotten. I want this city to recognise who I was instead of what I’ve become.’

In early December, it emerged Weinstein has reached a $25 million (£19 million) settlement with several of his accusers.

Davina McCall’s £100k Drop ‘axed from Channel 4 after a decade’

Davina McCall’s £100k Drop has been axed from Channel 4 after a decade.

According to reports the show, which was previously titled the Million Pound Drop until the prize money was lowered, began way back in 2010.

Airing until 2015, it saw Davina starring as the host and featured contestants beginning with the whole stack of prize money, and notes falling through trapdoors when they got answers wrong, resulting in some pretty tense scenes.

After a hiatus, the game show returned just last year, with the prize money facing a significant slash.

An insider told The Sun: ‘With players handling £1 million in real cash and the trapdoor twist, Million Pound Drop was one of the most exciting shows around when it launched.

‘But when ratings fell, Channel 4 bosses took a gamble of their own.

‘Unfortunately, lower stakes meant low interest and now they’ve decided to cash out of the Drop for good.’

A spokeperson added to the site: ‘There are no plans for The £100k Drop to return to Channel 4. We’d like to thank Davina and all of the team behind the show for the numerous nail-biting moments.’

Although no one ever won the full prize money, Jack Whitehall and his dad Michael racked up an impressive £300,000 for charity in 2011, making them the biggest winners.

However, Davina’s definitely keeping herself busy amid the news, jetting off to Australia to see in the new decade.

 

The 52-year-old was spotted getting involved in a sand battle, lobbing handfuls of it as she enjoyed a day on the beach.

Because what else would you be doing on a December day?

And she’s been radiating body confidence lately, sharing a ‘shameless bikini selfie’.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B6sIIIwFaeo/

Davina has long battled trolls who have dubbed her ‘too skinny’ or an ‘exercise addict’, but the resilient star is fighting back and is owning it.

‘Shameless bikini selfie. End of,’ Davina wrote. Too right.

Despite facing online abuse, the former Big Brother host isn’t troubled by the trolls because she loves her healthy lifestyle.

Appearing on Loose Women recently, she said: ‘I don’t really care. I would much rather be trolled about doing too much exercise.

‘At least that is a good thing. I exercise three or four times a week for an hour, that’s not too much.’

Metro.co.uk has contacted Channel 4 for comment.

Love Island producers are ‘considering model Alisha LeMay’ – who is friends with The Only Way Is Essex star Pete Wicks – for the upcoming winter version of the hit-show.

And it sounds like she’d be the ‘perfect fit’.

According to a source, bosses have their eye on Alisha, who is ‘gorgeous, body confident and isn’t afraid to be herself,’ reports the Daily Mail.

The source added: ‘Alisha is exactly the type of contestant ITV2 are looking for.

‘She already works as an influencer and has collaborated with brands like Pretty Little Thing, Missguided and ASOS, which all becomes part in parcel of being a Love Island star.

‘She’s an advocate of body positivity and often admits on her Instagram to never wanting to be perfect, which is an important message to young viewers of the show too.’

Although Love Island reps declined to confirm the source’s report, it sounds like Alisa’s definitely one to watch in the lead up to the show starting in the new year.

Alisha took to Instagram over the weekend to post a photo with her pal Pete.

Taking a selfie in Shoreditch with the famous ex of Megan McKenna, Alisha captioned the photo: ‘Being tourists…’

It looks like she’s just set herself up on Twitter too, posting her first ever tweet at the start of this month.

She tweeted on 3 December: ‘Elloooooo this the only twitter account i have my babes’.

And guess who she’s tweeted within her first month on the blue bird social media platform? You guessed it, old mate Pete.

Posting a gif of a golfer doing a happy dance, she wrote: ‘beat you @P_Wicks01 at @SwingersLDN hehehe’

He then responded, from his account with over 400K followers: ‘Can’t concentrate on anything other than “hehehe”’

Perhaps there’s even romance on the cards if they’re playing crazy golf together.

Definitely watch this space – she’s bound to have a lot more Twitter followers once the show starts than her 82 followers now.

Love Island returns to ITV2 on January 12.

YouTuber Brittani Boren Leach has shared heartbreaking posts as her baby son, Crew, died after he stopped breathing during a nap.

The family vlogger shared the horrifying ordeal on Instagram, asking fans to pray for her and her husband Jeff, and their other children.

In one post, Brittani shared a photo of her hand holding her 3-month-old son’s, explaining: ‘While at a relative’s house last night, Crew laid down for a nap and when I went to check on him, he was not breathing.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B6iIACgnAp4/

‘We are living a nightmare, and I’m dying inside. Please pray for my baby. This can’t be real.’

Sharing an update later, Brittani added that Crew was ‘stable’, before breaking the sad news of his death to fans in another post.

‘Crew’s tiny earthly body is still with us, although I know he’s already dancing and playing in Heaven,’ she wrote.

‘We have some hard decisions to make over the next 12 hours, that no parent should ever have to make.

‘We need prayer now, more than before, specifically prayers for peace and clarity on the decisions that have to be made, and for our hearts, the pain is unbearable. I keep thinking that I will wake up from this nightmare, but I don’t.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B6mQjI0nPbd/

‘The outpouring of love and support has been astounding and we cannot even comprehend the amount of love we have been shown. #prayforcrew #crewscrew.’

The YouTube star went on to post an illustration of her family, with Crew being held by Jesus on one side of the portrait.

She explained that the little one will be operated on ‘to potentially save 3 to 4 babies lives.’

https://www.instagram.com/p/B6phuOdnL_2/

Brittani added: ‘Tonight we are soaking up every moment with him by bathing him, holding him and loving him. We ask that you keep our family in your prayers tomorrow, knowing that it will be the hardest day of our life.’

Fans have been quick to send messages of support to Brittani and her family, with one writing: ‘Praying so hard for you, crew, & your family.’

Fellow family vlogger Anna Saccone added: ‘Not a moment goes by where I don’t think of you and your family.’

Brittani has since been sharing sweet throwbacks of Crew after his birth, and on Christmas Day.

Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban shared a beautifully romantic moment in front of the Sydney Harbour Bridge after spending the ‘best Christmas’ ever in Australia.

The iconic Australian couple – who have been married for over 13 years – took to Instagram to share the loved-up snaps.

In the first photo, the 52-year-old country music star took a selfie with his 52-year-old Academy Award winning wife as they shared a cute peck on the lips.

They’re posing in front of iconic Sydney monuments, including the Harbour Bridge, the Sydney Tower and Luna Park.

(Unfortunately the Opera House is just out of sight, right behind the bridge)

In the second photo, Nicole adorably rests her head on her husband’s face as the two smile sweetly.

Keith captioned the photo: ‘Sydney, we had the BEST Christmas and the shows were a blast! THANK YOU ALL!!!!’

He then tagged Stevie Nicks, Ashley McBryde and The Struts and confirmed he was ‘ringing in 2020’ at their Nashville show.

Nicole shared the adorable photos too but opted for a simpler caption.

‘Sydney love,’ she simply wrote – adding a blue love heart touch at the end.

Fellow Aussie actress Isla Fisher responded to Nicole pics with a couple of red love hearts.

While American actress Michelle Pfeiffer commented: ‘Love birds’

Nicole stars alongside fellow Australian actress Margot Robbie, as well as Charlize Theron in upcoming drama, Bombshell.

She portrays real-life news anchor Gretchen Carlson, who was notably named one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People In The World in 2017.

The movie tells the story of the late Fox News chairman Roger Ailes and his descent into infamy amid sexual harassment charges in 2016 – a salient topic in the #MeToo era.

Bombshell boasts an all-star cast, with Allison Janney, Kate McKinnon and John Lithgow joining Nicole, Margot and Charlize in the line-up, with Jay Roach in the director’s chair.

We can’t wait.

Bombshell is out in cinemas 24 January 2020.

Metro GameCentral video game review of 2019 – a year in waiting

$

Xbox Series X console
This year has really all been about next year (pic: Microsoft)

GameCentral offers a retrospective of 2019 in gaming and looks forward to what can be expected in 2020 from Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony.

We’ve all seen this happen before. As soon as it becomes clear that next generation consoles are imminent, the big gaming companies suddenly clam up about their future plans and it’s left to leaks and guesswork to determine what’s actually happening. There was plenty of that in 2019, although Microsoft revealed slightly more than Sony, with a glimpse of what the Xbox Series X looks like and the implication that its launch games will include Halo Infinite and Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2.

All we know for sure about the PlayStation 5 is its name, but that won’t last once Sony puts its marketing machine into gear – probably starting with some sort of reveal event in the early spring. A few years ago, many would’ve predicted that this would be a very different kind of console unveil and perhaps the end of traditional generations. But it’s becoming increasingly clear that that won’t be the case, not this time.

Streaming is clearly the future of gaming but the faltering start for Google’s Stadia, and Microsoft’s very cautious approach with Project xCloud, suggests that it’s not yet ready for the big time. 2020 may well reveal other big name companies (Amazon has certainly been rumoured as being interested) joining the race to become the Netflix of gaming, but everything in 2019 suggests that will be a battle for another time.

In terms of the quality of its games, 2019 will not go down as a particularly remarkable year. We’ve already named Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice as our game of the year, but even it, and other top games such as Astral Chain and Apex Legends, are variations on well-worn themes. A lack of new ideas has been a problem for mainstream games all generation but if there’s any appetite to change that amongst the big publishers they’re now leaving it to the next generation to make their move. Although, predictably, the majority of next gen games known or rumoured about so far are sequels.

While it’s relatively easy to predict what Microsoft and Sony will be up to next year, Nintendo is, as always, another matter entirely. They only have one big name game confirmed for 2020 (Animal Crossing: New Horizons) and that’s only because it got delayed, so what the new year holds for them is very hard to guess at. Especially as the likes of Bayonetta 3 and Metroid Prime 4 may still not have been in the oven long enough to release next year.

Some rumours suggest Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2 will be out sooner rather than later, but then rumours also suggested that the imagined Switch Pro would be released, or at least announced, this year, and that obviously never happened. Nintendo has frequently talked about the Switch lasting longer than normal for a console but whether they really mean that remains to be seen, as Nintendo has always proven perfectly happy to change previously stated plans if they think it’s for the best.

We’re also yet to see Nintendo’s response to the rise of streaming, although they have already streamed Switch games in Japan – so they’re obviously not blind to its importance. Neither are Sony and yet their plans are almost equally opaque, especially after the shock announcement that they would be using Microsoft technology (although very much on a corporate level and nothing to do with the Xbox division). PlayStation Now has only been a mild success at best, but it’s unclear whether Sony will admit that and launch a brand new service or just try and improve what they already have.

Indeed, it’s very hard to judge what Sony’s attitude is at the moment on anything. In previous generations they’ve frequently been accused of arrogance, even during their struggles with the PlayStation 3, but one of the secrets of the PlayStation 4’s success is that they’ve been able to control their vanity and avoid any serious PR disasters or hubristic mistakes. Will that continue with the PlayStation 5 or will they underestimate a clearly resurgent Microsoft?

Rather than how many teraflops the PlayStation 5 is pushing that may well be the most important question to be answered next year: will Sony pursue the same basic approach they’ve used this generation, or will their attitude be very different?

It’s not as if Microsoft’s plans are crystal clear either, as while they have been relatively humble about the Xbox One’s failings that’s not something they’ll want to dwell on. And although they’ve been making headlines these past few years about buying up developers, to bolster their first party studios, very few new games have been announced so far. More importantly, there’s the problem that everyone they’ve bought has been from North America or the UK.

Microsoft’s great failing, since their very first console, has been its inability to engage Japanese audiences or developers (or indeed anyone not in America or the UK). Every new generation they talk about working more closely with a wider range of developers, but it’s never happened and there’s no obvious reason to think that will change this time. Microsoft needs to get away from the stigma of being seen as the ShooterBox and just releasing the odd game from Rare is not nearly enough.

But perhaps the most positive thing about 2019 is that all three console manufacturers are in a very healthy position at the moment. The Switch and PlayStation 4 are amongst the most successful consoles Sony and Nintendo has ever made and Microsoft has clearly been preparing for this new generation for a very long time. It’s entirely possible for all three companies to be successful at the same time, which is exactly what happened last generation, and that would be the best outcome for gamers too – ensuring each company pushes the others towards making the best games and hardware they can.

Whether that’ll be evident in 2020 is difficult to say – the new consoles aren’t likely to come out before November and launch games can often be underwhelming – but gaming has an exciting future ahead of it and 2020 will be the first real glimpse of what it looks like.

Michelle Williams ‘pregnant and engaged’ to Hamilton director Thomas Kail eights months after marriage split

It’s a very Happy New Year indeed for Michelle Williams who is reportedly pregnant and engaged to Hamilton director Thomas Kail.

The Greatest Showman actress is said to be expecting her first child with the Tony award-winning director eight months after her marriage to Mount Eerie rocker Phil Elverum ended.

According to People, Michelle was seen buying baby clothes at Seraphine’s maternity shop in Kensington, London, where she is currently filming Venom 2.

The publication shared a photo of the happy couple holding hands and smiling at each other while walking down the street.

Michelle, 39, is clearly wearing a large engagement ring on her wedding finger.

Sources claim the actress’ daughter Matilda, whom she shares with late actor Heath Ledger, played matchmaker for the couple.

Thomas and Michelle had a professional relationship before love blossomed when he directed her in the drama Fosse/Verdon, for which she won the lead actress Emmy.

The 42-year-old director is esteemed in the theatre world and directed Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway musical In The Heights as well as Hamilton. Thomas scooped an Emmy for directing Grease: Live and the best direction Tony award for Hamilton.

Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for comment. 

In April, it emerged that Michelle had split from her husband Phil after less than a year of marriage.

An insider told People at the time: ‘Michelle and Phil separated at the beginning of the year. It was an amicable split and they remain friends.’

Michelle had confirmed her marriage to Phil in her July 2018 interview with Vanity Fair. The pair tied the knot in a small ceremony in the Adirondack Mountains with a small host of guests, including her 14-year-old daughter.

Opening up on her dating life following Heath’s sudden death in 2008, Michelle explained: ‘I never gave up on love. I always say to Matilda, “Your dad loved me before anybody thought I was talented, or pretty, or had nice clothes”.’

Michelle and Heath had dated for three years but split shortly before his death at the age of 28 in January 2008 from a drug overdose.

We can all breathe a sigh of relief as Kim Kardashian has confirmed she did not buy her daughter North the bloody shirt worn by President John F Kennedy the day he died.

And in fact, the KKW Beauty founder thinks it’s a ‘sick joke’. Phew.

A fake photo which appeared to be from Kim’s Instagram stories showed JFK’s white and grey pin-striped shirt torn and covered with blood.

The caption read: ‘Along with the Michael Jackson’s jacket and hat, North also got the shirt John F. Kennedy wore when he was assassinated.’

Interestingly, the photo wasn’t seen on Kim’s actual Instagram account because it was never real.

Reacting to the viral photo, Kim tweeted: ‘WOW this is obviously fake!…

‘I did not get JFK’s shirt. That is a sick joke that someone tweeted as a fake ig story that I never posted.’

Kim Kardashian auction

Many believed the photo was genuine as it used a real photo of JFK’s shirt from the National Archives.

The US President was shot dead while riding in his motorcade through Dallas’ Dealey Plaza on 22 November 1963.

It comes after Kim, 39, revealed that she and husband Kanye West had bought North items belonging to the late Michael Jackson at auction as a Christmas present.

The six-year-old now owns the iconic jacket which Jackson wore at Elizabeth Taylor’s 65th birthday and to the Cannes Film Festival in 1997. Kimye bought the jacket for $65,625 (£50,000) at auction in October.

The couple also purchased Jackson’s white Smooth Criminal hat worn in the song’s iconic music video and it still has his make-up stains on it.

‘For Christmas, Kanye and I gave North this jacket, and this was Michael Jackson’s jacket that he wore with Elizabeth Taylor. North is a really big Michael Jackson fan, and we knew she would love this.’ Kim told her followers.

‘So we won this on auction for Northy for Christmas and we had it like, tacked up so she can wear it.’

Kim added: ‘I’m obsessed with auctions and my brother is the biggest Elvis Presley fan so I got him two of Elvis’s rings for Christmas!’

Ray J and Princess Love have welcomed their second child, after the singer revealed the happy news to fans just before the new year.

He shared a video titled ‘RAY J EXCLUSIVE FAMILY VIDEO (NEW BABY ALERT)’ full of private footage of the family, including Princess’s pregnancy and their one-year-old daughter Melody.

Ray added: ‘I love you princess love! And my babygirl melody! I don’t ever wanna lose our time together. I’m sorry for everything. 2020 will be somthing very special.’

The footage also showed Ray getting dressed up into scrubs as Princess was getting wheeled into theatre to give birth to their son.

The couple are yet to reveal the name or first photo of their son, but shared an Instagram cip of Melody getting ready for her new sibling by checking out his crib.

Ray J and Princess haven’t always had the smoothest of relationships, after Princess accused him of ‘abandoning’ her and their daughter and leaving them stranded in Las Vegas after the Soul Train Awards in November.

Ray denied this, but blocked his wife on his phone and social media pages, leading her to speak about their problems online instead.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B6oFkmMB3bG/

Both threatened to divorce, but reunited ahead of the birth of their second child, with Ray announcing the birth on Twitter, telling his followers: ‘I love you @mzprincesslove so proud of you. Strongest women [sic] in the world and the mother of my children.’

The couple have been married since August 2016, after getting engaged in October 2015, and their first child, Melody, was born in May 2018.

Ray and Princess had spent Christmas together, spending quality time with Melody before the arrival of their new baby.

Fans are already excited to find out more details on the new arrival, and we don’t think it will be long until we get another update from the proud dad.
