EVERY WEEKDAY MORNING, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the best of the day’s celebrity dirt from the top to the very bottom.
Oscar winner Mo’Nique has said that she was “blackballed” after she was named Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Precious. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she explains that the award did not bring the roles she anticipated.
Precious director Lee Daniels explained to her that she was “blackballed” because she didn’t “play the game”.
I got a phone call from Lee Daniels maybe six or seven months ago. And he said to me, “Mo’Nique, you’ve been blackballed.” And I said, “I’ve been blackballed? Why have I been blackballed?” And he said, “Because you didn’t play the game.” And I said, “Well, what game is that?” And he gave me no response.
A glance at Mo’Nique’s IMDb reveals that she has received no high-profile roles since her Oscar win in 2010.
Mo’Nique was previously criticised for not “campaigning” during the Oscar build-up, which Daniels said “soured her relationship with the Hollywood community”.
Yesterday, she tweeted on her decision to speak out. (Daily Mail)
Katie Price modelled for the London Fashion for Relief show yesterday and didn’t look anything like herself! The Celebrity Big Brother donned a suit and look pretty fab, if we do say so ourselves.

You go, androgynous queen. (3AM)
That Australian girl Niall Horan was spotted shifting? It looks like they’ve been dating for months.
Directioners freaked out the other day when video footage surfaced of Horan shifting Melissa Whitelaw, but The Daily Mail is now reporting that they’ve probably been together since November at least.
The newspaper has unearthed video of Horan hanging out with her at the ARIA Awards last year. The footage apparently contains this damning evidence.
In a clear show of affection, he proceeds to swing her arm into the air and snake it around her neck as if intending to help her twirl on the spot.
SAY NO MORE, THEY’RE PRACTICALLY MARRIED. (Daily Mail)
