LIAM PAYNE GUSHES ABOUT CHERYL

English singer Liam Payne (top) has praised his girlfriend, English singer Cheryl (above), saying that she has been his “dream girl” for years. During an interview with Rollercoaster magazine, Payne — who is expecting his first child with the former Girls Aloud star — said, “This is the thing. In a non-cliche way, it’s weird waking up every day and literally living out your dream. You wake up in the most beautiful places. Obviously I have the most beautiful girlfriend in the world and she’s absolutely amazing. She’s been my dream girl since I was younger. She’s so ace.” Though Payne, 23, did not directly speak about Cheryl’s pregnancy, the One Direction hunk said he and 33-year-old Cheryl are “super happy and it’s a very personal, precious time for us.”

American actor Taraji P Henson (right) has expressed her wish to play a superhero. “I’d love to be a Marvel superhero... I’m dying to get into some comedy. I think I’m a stronger comedic actress than a dramatic actress. You guys just fell for the drama side,” Henson said during an interview with The New York Times. The 46-year-old was praised for her recent portrayal of pioneering NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson. Hidden Figures racked up three Oscar nominations this year and won the SAG Award for outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture.
