KEVIN BRIDGES AND HIS HEREDITARY LOOKALIKE

A Kevin Bridges doppelgänger is making fans laugh out loud when they go to see scary movie Hereditary. 

The little girl in the scary movie looks like a younger version of the thirty one year old stand up comedian from Clydebank - and fans can’t get over it. 

The young girl Charlie played by Milly Shapiro is meant to terrify audiences as she makes dolls from stray items that she finds including a birds head - and makes a strange clicking noise with her tongue. 

Even celebrities like Katy Perry have been unnerved watching the drama unfold. 

Instead, Scottish fans have come out giggling at her likeness  to ‘hoose rice’ jokemaker Kevin. 

Fans on Twitter were amongst the first to comment with Bethany Black saying: ”Saw an advert for that Movie Hereditary. Looks terrifying, imagine being haunted by Kevin Bridges? Doesn’t bear thinking about.”

Shannon added: “Watched hereditary last night and spent the whole film laughing at how much Charlie looks like a mini Kevin Bridges. It’s uncanny.”

Goal Pooch added: “Just seen 'Hereditary'. Two hours of a little girl who looks like Kevin Bridges creeping around the seemingly immortally preserved mum from 'The Sixth Sense'. Absolutely mind boggling.

Iain Riley joked: “Kevin Bridges' new stand-up show, Hereditary, looks terrifying.”

Catherine Kieley said: “Everyone’s tweeting about Hereditary but honestly I can’t get past how much that kid looks like Kevin Bridges.”

And Jade Milliken added: “See that “Hereditary” movie that’s getting called the scariest movie ever? I’m sorry but watch the trailer and tell me that the wee lassie isn’t Kevin Bridges wae a wig on and il tell you you’re a liar.”

 Ally Finnan also suggested Kevin might have a secret offspring. 

She laughed: “Here @kevinbridges86 have you seen that new horror Hereditary? The wee lassie in it is your ringer #secretwain”

So far Kevin whose favourite movie is Ghostbusters has not responded to their enquiries but were not sure we’d like to meet him in a dark night out.”

KATY PERRY ALMOST LEFT A DEPOSIT IN GLASGOW

Katy Perry might be glamorous but she ended up having to scoop up the mess left behind by her pet pooch on the runway as she left Glasgow by private jet .
Katy was departing from Glasgow Airport on her private plane when her poodle Nugget decided to leave Scotland a wee present as she boarded the plane but she decided to pick it up in case it wasn’t appreciated.
Katy was the first big celebrity to enjoy a stay at the newly revamped Blythswood Penthouse - and she even took Nugget there with her.
I’ve taken my own adopted Basset hound Bertie there before and he is treated like a king. He enjoys their scones but they even make special biscuits for doggies who stay there - and have doggy pillows.
Katy checked into the hotel in the wee small hours of Friday morning after arriving in Glasgow straight from Manchester.
Last time she was here she brought her own pillow with her to help her sleep in a new envrionment.
The penthouse with its own roof terrace has two bedrooms and a large living room complete with a hot tub and sauna as I saw at a party earlier this month.
Prices start from £2,500 a night.
Katy walked from there to Taco Bell with some of her crew and was picked up by people carrier at the corner of Sauchiehall Street. Her cars had to drive the wrong way down the street to pick her up after traffic was diverted from the fire.
I met Katy and her tour support Disney Star Hailee Steinfeld who sings the infectious anthem Starving after she and her party hired a private room at the Odeon Cinema to watch a horror movie. It was around one am.
She posed up for pictures and met thrilled Glasgow school girl Ailee Carroll, 16, from Anniesland on her way out.
She’s lost a lot of weight since the last time we met and that’s in part due to her assistant who makes sure she gets a good workout on tour. As you might have seen in some stories she cycled by the Clydeside and actually went by bike from the Blythswood where she was seen saddling up by one of my friends John Brown. 

KATY PERRY AND HAILEY STEINFELD HIRE OUT CINEMA DURING GLASGOW DAY OFF

 


Katy Perry hired out Glasgow’s Odeon cinema for her whole entourage before her Glasgow gig this weekend.
And she asked her security to take away a case of Irn Bru and shortbread after tasting it on her trip.
The Roar and I Kissed A Girl singer and her team took over one of the private screening rooms which have a starting price of £2000 to watch horror movie Hereditary on Saturday night.
Katy turned up at the Odeon Springfield Quay with her concert pal Hailey Steinfeld and their entourage of dancers, singers and security at 10:30pm for their bespoke screening.
The last entry for other films  was 9:30pm so the Star and her crew went unnoticed until they emerged later to pose with cinema staff who had been clearing up the reception area.
They lounged in the cinemas plush VIP seats and giggled and screamed during the horror movie.
Katy, who had earlier eaten at a Taco Bell, wore a baseball cap to hide her famous blonde locks and was dressed in matching baseball style pants. 

She said: “I absolutely loved the film.”
An insider added: “It was a rare night off for Katie and she wanted to spend it with her friends on the tour. She doesn’t get much free time on the tour so it’s important she gets to relax.”
Pitch Perfect Disney star and Starving hitmaker Hailee Steinfeld wore a beanie hat and danced around with her crew in the foyer of the hotel.
She was thrilled when fans recognised her at the entrance.
Katy who is dating movie star Orlando Bloom was out and about meeting fans on Sunday as she went on a bike ride Big the River Clyde. She even invited some of them to her Witness tour gig at the SSE Hydro and admitted there was something about Scottish pride that she loved. 

CORRIE ACTRESS HELEN FLANAGAN GIVES BIRTH IN GLASGOW

 


CORONATION street actress Helen Flanagan has given birth in Scotland to a bouncing baby girl.
And the 27 year old actress who is engaged to Celtic player Scott Sinclair revealed she had a water birth as she told fans she decided to call her daughter Delilah Ruby Sinclair.
Helen who played Rosie Webster in the soap said: “Our beautiful daughter Delilah Ruby Sinclair was born yesterday on 22nd June at 5:18pm weighing 6lbs 15oz. I had a very quick labour, a water birth with just gas and air, absolutely besotted so in love.
Feel so blessed to have our healthy baby girl and I feel good after my labour xxx.”
Thankyou to all the amazing midwives at the
Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Glasgow for everything.
Celtic wags Josefin Lustig and Corrie actresses Samia Longchambon, Jennie McAlpine and Lucy Fallon and Georgia May Foote were amongst those to send their congratulations.
Helen received a push present of a White Range Rover from Scott in the days leading up to the birth. 

JOHNNY DEPP WEARS SPECIAL SCOTS BADGE OF HONOUR

Johnny Depp wore a special badge with pride at his Scots gig after being presented with it backstage at the SSE Hydro.
The Edward Scissorhands and Pirates of the Caribbean  star and his Hollywood Vampire bandmates Alice Cooper and Joe Perry met up with Dreammaker Les Hoey and some sick kids from his charity during a special meet and greet.
Les presented them all with a badge of Mr Wizz, the special mascot of his charity for terminally ill and sick children in Scotland.
Johnny even asked Les to pin it on him so he could wear it on stage. 

Les said: “It’s a dream come true that Johnny wore the badge on stage during his performance. He met with some children on the night and was very interested to hear about the charity and work they we do.”
During his performance Johnny paid a tribute to David Bowie with the song Heroes as well as singing Jim
Carroll song People Who Died - about deceased friends.
He also told charity worker Les that his favourite whisky is a £1750 bottle of Bunnahabhain Canasta.

STEVEN GERARDS SECRET CINEMA VISIT AND MORE...

Steven Gerrard had his big week in Glasgow for the first day at Rangers but no one knows (until now) that he visited the cinema in the city centre the very same day.
The new Ibrox team manager popped into the Blythswood hotel just a few hours after his first day on the job to watch a film with seven other official looking pals in the hotel’s private cinema room.
It has Harris Tweed chairs and is a cosy place which fits forty at a cost of just under a thousand pounds.
The room was booked under Box To Box which is Steven’s nickname but I’m still not sure if he watched the latest Disney movie, Power Rangers or a Rangers induction video now that he’s a new member of the club.
Maryhill fan Kenzie Smeaton, 12, got to meet him when he was outside with his dad Mark and was probably the first Glaswegian to do so.


Sometimes I just bump into celebs...
The surprise meeting  of the week was with Gilbert O Sullivan who was dining at the Crowne Plaza while I was waiting for Johnny Depp.
Clair singer Gilbert, 71, was in Glasgow to appear on BBC’s The Quay Sessions and had just been interviewed by Deacon Blue’s Ricky Ross across the road at BBC HQ.
He told me he had family ties in Scotland.
He said: “My daughter is married to a Scotsman who is from Glasgow so we come up here.”
Gilbert is celebrating five decades in the music business and he says he listens to artists like Jay Z and Paloma Faith just to keep on top of current trends. He wasn’t however heading over to see Johnny Depp, preferring to have a quiet night with the family.  


THE Mitchell Library played an important role after the Glasgow Art School Fire.
It. was with great sadness that I reported live from the fire at The Art School.
My Facebook livestream ended up being shared around the world as people showed their love for the beautiful building that has become such an important part of Scotland’s streetscape.
Charles Rennie Mackintosh remains as relevant today as he did 150 years ago.
The scenes on the street were chaotic as revellers tumbled out of clubs only to be met with the blazing scene.
Some screamed in shock while others remained silent and open mouthed.
I spoke to a few residents who couldn’t get into their homes due to the blaze. They were directed to the Mitchell Library where officials met them to help them get alternative accommodation for the night.
I also spoke to Arun Day who was DJing at Campus and had to tell people to evacuate the building. He had to abandon his car, wallet and belongings in the frenzy.
As we watched the fire take hold, small explosions could be heard. He claimed they were due to air cannisters exploding in neighbouring entertainment venues.



I tried out the new seasonal menu at Vapiano Glasgow and found out the Celtic lads had beaten me to it.
Dembele and N’tcham are regulars at the Buchanan Street restaurant where you can order single, double and triple portions of your meal.
You watch as they prepare your food and you can decide how much salt, sauce and pasta you get- perfect for the diet conscious footballer.
I on the other hand just stuffed my face. Some of the new dishes include Risotto Vegetalia with white and green asparagus - probably a favourite of the hoops lads.



STOOSHE didn’t let a bit of rain cramp their style when they played the outdoor stage at Edinburgh Pride.
The Black Heart and Waterfall hitmakers are doing a tour of Pride shows around the U.K. and just returned from Ibiza.
Contrary to some rumours they said they’ve no intention of  splitting up. They just  like to pursue individual projects in between.
The girls said a quick hello to Lloyd Daniels who was also floating about backstage with Edinburgh’s own Caitlyn Vanbeck and Glasgow’s GSide.


FORMER X factor singer Lloyd Daniels claims that Glasgow is like a second home to him.
Lloyd is currently in the middle of rehearsals for Closets - a time travel LGBT drama about two boys on different time zones.
He says he’s keen to set up a big band so he can return to Scotland with a full music show.
The Welsh lad is keen to avoid other reality shows for the time being but says he’s always had a soft spot for his Scots fans.
He told me: “Glasgow has - family feel to it. It’s like Wales - it feels like home.”

Katie Price might have enjoyed a weekend of healthy fitness fun with her new beau Kris Boyson, but she because the subject of a cheeky meme online.
Katie was staying at Gleddoch House and popped into Club 29 and Coast restaurant in Langbank while she was here.
She was still here on Fathers Day as she met another girl called Jordan at the airport.
Unfortunately some cheeky internet creatives decided to put up their own imagined depiction of Katie Price’s Father’s Day celebrations - with photos of her huge family of exes online....
Wonder if our Loose Woman favourite saw the funny side.

JOHNNY DEPP SAYS HE’S INSPIRED BY SCOTS LEGEND

Johnny Depp might have brought rock n roll to Glasgow with old pals Alice Cooper and Joe Perry - but he told Scots fans his own hero was William Wallace.
The Edward Scissorhands actor was looking healthy as he rocked up to the SSE Hydro in a four car convoy.
And he showed off some fine vocals during the Hollywood Vampire Set particularly during a David Bowie Heroes tribute.
During his a thousand pound a head meet and greet he chatted away with locals and told them he loved whisky. Asked if he had tried Irn Bru his team despatched a crew member to go and fetch some.
Johnny was flying to London by private jet straight after the set - as he’d set up temporary home with the rest of the band in London’s Savoy Hotel. Years ago I had a conversation with Johnny Depp and his LA team leading to a front page on this very paper.
Local club owner Darren Laurie named his Bellshill venue The Viper - which was copyrighted at the time by Johnny who had the Viper Room in LA. Johnny’s Office threatened to sue Darren at the time and thanked me - offering to send me a beanie hat - for tipping them off about the cheeky Scot. Despite the legal threats, Darren was actually thrilled as his club was mobbed after the story.
Alice Cooper was on fine fettle on stage too. I met him at the Kerrang! awards a few years ago when the buffet consisted of cup cakes in the form of pink lady parts of high led to much hilarity.
