British News Channels Hired Actors To Recreate Prince Harry’s Testimony In Tabloid Privacy Case
Prince Harry and nearly 100 others are currently suing the publisher Mirror Group Newspapers, which publishes The Daily Mirror, for phone hacking and pulling other “unlawful” tabloid tricks to get dirt on them. Over the past couple of days, the Duke of Sussex testified for nearly eight hours in London’s High Court. Unfortunately for the media, filming inside the courtroom is forbidden, so there isn’t any footage of the proceedings, just written transcripts. So, some British news stations have been forced to get creative and weird. Indy100 reports that both Sky News and GB News hired ginger actors to recreate the most dramatic moments of Harry’s testimony. That’s right. Those two men in the header pic? They aren’t just two Harrys… they’re his thespian doppelgängers!
Al Pacino Calls His Upcoming Baby “Very Special”
Last week, we learned that 83-year-old Al Pacino was expecting a baby with 29-year-old Noor Alfallah, an “old soul” with a fetish for celebrity pepaws (her exes include Mick Jagger). According to one source, Al was surprised when he found out about Noor’s pregnancy and demanded a prenatal DNA test. Turns out, he is the father, and it looks like he’s finally decided to embrace it. Yesterday, The Daily Mail paps caught up with Al on his daily constitutional and asked about the pregnancy. Al replied that “it’s very special.” Well, it is pretty special that octogenarian testes can produce something other than dust. Unless… wait. Is Noor pregnant with a little Italian-American dust mite?! Continue reading
Wendy Williams’ Manager Speaks Out After Her Son Accuses Him Of Mishandling Her Funds
The Wendy Williams Show went off the air for good last June, but the drama surrounding its former host, Wendy Williams, has been in syndication for months. There was her stint in rehab, the cloven hoof she showcased to the world (that still lives in my nightmares), and her ill-fated podcast. And aside from these “Are you Ok?” moments, her 22-year-old son Kevin Hunter Jr. alleges the people around her have been plying her with booze and digging into her wallet to run her pockets whenever they want. Now, Lil’ Kevin wants to expose the horrible people surrounding his mother, but her manager Will Selby is slapping away at those claims.
Katherine Heigl Admits She Was “Naive” When She Made Those “Grey’s Anatomy” Comments Over A Decade Ago
If you look inside all of Hollywood’s “Don’t Do This” manuals, you will find a long chapter dedicated to former Grey’s Anatomy actress Katherine Heigl. There was a time when she was the toast of the town until she started burning bridges and was cast aside for many years. Now as she suits up to shimmy for her next act, she’s commenting on her former follies when she was young, dumb, and full of middle fingers for everyone. Katherine’s past comments about the low quality of writing and long hours as a working actress on Grey’s caused friction with showrunner Shonda Rimes and she left the show after its sixth season. Now that she’s had over a decade to lick her wounds and rebuild her career, Katherine wanted to explain exactly what was going on at the time she began her infamous spiral into temporary obscurity.
Elle Fanning Reveals That She Lost A Role At 16 Over A “Disgusting” Reason
Elle Fanning recently said that she lost out on a big movie franchise because she didn’t have enough Instagram followers at the time. Well, during The Hollywood Reporter’s Comedy Actress Roundtable, Elle shared another reason for why she lost out on a role, and this slides into To Catch A Predator territory. Elle says that when she was 16, she lost a role for being “unfuckable.” Well, it wasn’t for a Woody Allen movie since Elle did one of those, which she regrets.
Bryan Singer Is Self Financing A Documentary To Deny The Sexual Assault Allegations Against Him
For years, there were no-so-secret whispers about director Bryan Singer’s alleged predatory ways. And in 2019, those whispers became published accounts when The Atlantic released an exposé on Bryan. The Atlantic heard from four individuals who say the director sexually assaulted them while they were minors- all of which he denied. And more horrible stories followed. But again, it didn’t seem to come as a shock to Hollywood, as one source told the publication, “After the Harvey Weinstein news came out, everyone thought Bryan Singer would be next.” Now, four years later, Bryan’s using the Louis C.K. blueprint of waiting a few years and then self-financing his comeback- by making a documentary addressing the sexual assault allegations against him.
