EVERY WEEKDAY MORNING, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the best of the day’s celebrity dirt from the top to the very bottom.

Scarlett Johansson jumped to John Travolta’s defence after the internet had a field day with the photo of him leaning in for a kiss on the Oscar red carpet. You know the one…

AFF EMPICS AFF EMPICS

Johansson said her A Love Song for Bobby Long co-star is a ‘class act’ and that it’s always a pleasure to be greeted by him.

In a statement to the press, Johansson said:

There is nothing at all strange, creepy or inappropriate about John Travolta.

She described the photo as “an unfortunate still-frame from a live-action encounter that was totally sweet and totally welcome. That still photo does not reflect what preceded and followed if you see the moment live. Yet another way we are misguided, misinformed and sensationalized by the 24-hour news cycle”.

So now.

Liam Gallagher has branded Kanye West’s Brits performance as ‘utter sh*t’. The Oasis singer didn’t hold back on Twitter after watching West’s heavily-censored performance of All Day.

It seems he prefers his early stuff.

He’s not all negative though, Gallagher is surprisingly an Ant and Dec fan.

Speaking of Kanye, he broke down in tears during an interview with BBC Radio 1′s Zane Lowe while talking about his late friend Louise Wilson. Fresh from his Brits performance, West spoke to Lowe about the late fashion design lecturer, saying.

I didn’t know we were going to lose her, and she told me, and she said, You know, thank you for the times we came to performances and this is like really meant a lot to me, you know she would…

He also spoke about having more kids with Kim, saying Nori wants a sibling. THAT Beck incident at the Grammys also came up. He said he was having dinner with Taylor Swift recently and Beck came on the radio.

I said “‘Wow, this is really good. Maybe I might have been wrong!’”

Did Kanye just admit that he was WRONG?

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Watch the full thing here, it’s quite long though.
