<title>A New Bus Line to Prague Airport Could Launch This Autumn</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/a-new-bus-line-to-prague-airport-could-launch-this-autumn</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A new private bus service could soon connect Prague’s main railway station directly with Václav Havel Airport, offering passengers another option for getting between the city center and the airport. Transport company Dinarica is planning to launch the service at the end of October. The route would run between the main railway station and the airport, providing a direct alternative to the Airport Express operated by České dráhy. The company says it wants to address one of the main practical problems passengers face when travelling by bus to the airport — luggage storage. Dinarica plans to use Setra and MAN buses equipped with air conditioning, seat belts and more spacious seating. Each vehicle will accommodate between 70 and 90 passengers. The planned service would operate from morning until evening, with buses running approximately every two hours. A one-way ticket is expected to cost around CZK 125, making the service considerably cheaper than the Airport Express. Its fare is set to rise to CZK 200 following the latest price increase. Prague’s public transport system already offers cheaper ways to reach the airport. Trolleybus 59 and bus 100 connect Václav Havel Airport with the Prague public transport network, but neither provides a...

<title>Prague Kettlebell Brand Železná Koule Opens 600&#45;Square&#45;Metre Gym in Karlín</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Czech kettlebell training brand Železná Koule has opened its largest location yet at Danube House in Prague’s Karlín district. The new 600-square-metre gym expands the brand’s presence in Prague and comes ahead of the next edition of its flagship Amazing 12 fitness programme. Železná Koule has built a community around kettlebell training and coached workouts rather than the traditional self-service gym model. The company says more than 20,000 people have trained through its programmes since its launch. At its Karlín location, members train under the guidance of coaches in small groups. The approach is designed to provide more personal instruction and a structured training environment, rather than simply giving members access to gym equipment. The new location is also the latest venue for the company’s Amazing 12 programme, a 12-week fitness and body transformation course that combines regular training with nutrition guidance and ongoing support. What is the Amazing 12 programme? The programme is aimed at both people who are new to structured strength training and more experienced gym-goers looking for a more organised approach to their workouts. Although the programme itself lasts 12 weeks, participants first complete a preparation week, making 13 weeks in total. During the programme, they...

<description><![CDATA[ Filming for the American series Birdwatcher will take place at the Prague 7 tax office on Kapitána Jaroše Embankment from August 8 to 24, bringing temporary restrictions to the area. The production will use the tax office building at Kapitána Jaroše Embankment 1000/7, while part of the sidewalk outside the building will be closed to accommodate filming equipment. The restrictions will not affect the normal operation of the tax office. Drivers should also expect temporary parking restrictions on nearby Na Ovčinách Street. Vehicles will still be allowed to pass through the street, but parking will be prohibited during the designated filming periods. The restrictions will not be in force continuously throughout the filming period. They will apply only on specific dates, with Prague 7 publishing a map showing the affected areas and individual dates on its website. Prague has become a major filming location Birdwatcher is an American spy fantasy series set during the Cold War. The production is being led by Legendary and Apple TV, with Andy Goddard directing.

<title>Czechia Tightens Temporary Protection Rules for Ukrainian Men Aged 23 to 60</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/czechia-tightens-temporary-protection-rules-for-ukrainian-men-aged-23-to-60</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/czechia-tightens-temporary-protection-rules-for-ukrainian-men-aged-23-to-60</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New rules affecting Ukrainian men seeking temporary protection in the Czech Republic will take effect on August 5, 2026. Under the changes, men aged 23 to 60 applying for temporary protection will have to demonstrate that they are exempt from military service in Ukraine. The requirement will apply to new applications and certain other applications for protection, but not to people who already hold valid temporary protection. The Czech Interior Ministry says the new rules follow an EU Council decision published in the Official Journal of the European Union on August 4. The decision also extends temporary protection for people fleeing Russia’s war in Ukraine until March 31, 2028. For applicants aged 23 to 60, military registration documents will be checked as part of the application process. Applicants will use Ukraine’s Reserv+ system to demonstrate their military status, with the electronic military registration document showing whether they are exempt from military service. The rules are different for younger applicants. People aged 18 to 22 will only need to demonstrate that they are registered in the Reserv+ system. The new requirement concerns people applying for temporary protection for the first time, as well as repeat applications and applications connected with family...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/martini-opens-its-first-central-european-terrazza-in-prague</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prague has become home to the first Martini Terrazza in Central Europe, with the Italian drinks brand opening a new rooftop venue at the Máj Národní department store. The summer terrace is located on the Fly Vista rooftop, offering cocktails, food and views across the Prague skyline. The concept is designed around the Italian aperitivo tradition and is intended as a seasonal meeting place during the summer months. Martini Terrazza venues have previously appeared in other European cities and holiday destinations. The Prague location brings the same format to the Czech capital, combining the brand’s drinks with music, themed evenings and social events. The drinks menu includes several Martini-based cocktails, including Martini Bianco Spritz, Martini Fiero &amp; Tonic and the Americano. Visitors can also order non-alcoholic Martini Spritz options, alongside a selection of food designed to accompany the drinks. The terrace is scheduled to remain open throughout the summer season. Martini has been associated with the Italian aperitivo tradition for more than 160 years. In the Czech Republic, the brand is distributed by Coca-Cola HBC Czech Republic and Slovakia. “Prague has become the home of the first Martini Terrazza in Central Europe,” said Kateřina Valoušková, Martini Brand Manager at Coca-Cola...

<title>Inside the Mind: A Conversation with Neuropsychologist Helena Reina Calzado</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/inside-the-mind-a-conversation-with-neuropsychologist-helena-reina-calzado</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ For many people, years of struggling with concentration, memory, or organisation are dismissed as personality traits or everyday stress. It is often only when life becomes more demanding that they begin to wonder whether something else is going on. That is where Helena Reina Calzado comes in. A clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist based in Prague, Helena works with English- and Spanish-speaking patients, providing neuropsychological assessment and cognitive intervention for children, adolescents, and adults experiencing difficulties with attention, memory, executive functioning, and other cognitive abilities. “Neuropsychology studies the relationship between the brain and behaviour,” Helena explains. “We look at how someone thinks, processes information, pays attention, and solves problems, and then use that understanding to guide assessment and treatment.” Neuropsychological assessment focuses on cognitive functioning. The process typically begins with a detailed clinical interview, followed by standardised tests tailored to the person’s specific concerns. When appropriate, neuropsychological intervention aims to improve everyday cognitive functioning and help patients adapt to daily challenges. One of the most common reasons people seek her help is a long history of unexplained difficulties that have never been fully understood. “I often see adults who have spent years developing strategies to cope with attention or learning difficulties...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-welcomes-starlux-airlines-with-new-taipei-connection</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Taiwanese carrier STARLUX Airlines has launched its first European route, connecting Taipei with Prague. The airline’s first flight arrived at Václav Havel Airport Prague on Saturday morning after a journey of more than 14 hours. The service is initially being operated with an Airbus A350-900. STARLUX plans to operate the Prague-Taipei route three times a week at first, with a fourth weekly service scheduled to be added from October. For passengers traveling beyond Taiwan, the route also offers connections through Taipei to more than 25 destinations across Asia. These include cities in Japan and South Korea, as well as destinations in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Macau, according to Simon Liu, STARLUX Airlines’ director of strategy. The new route makes Prague the airline’s first European destination. STARLUX launched operations only in 2020, two years after the company was founded, but has since positioned itself as a premium international carrier. Skytrax has awarded the airline a five-star rating.

<title>More Than Half of Czech Households Could Be Overpaying for Electricity</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/more-than-half-of-czech-households-could-be-overpaying-for-electricity</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/more-than-half-of-czech-households-could-be-overpaying-for-electricity</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A large number of Czech households may be paying more for electricity than necessary because they are using a distribution tariff that does not match their actual consumption. A new analysis estimates that switching to a more suitable tariff could save households more than CZK 1.3 billion a year in total. The analysis was conducted by energy company bezDodavatele. The company examined electricity consumption at 1,132 household consumption points using the two most common household distribution tariffs, D01d and D02d. According to data from the Energy Regulatory Office (ERÚ), D01d and D02d are used by around 65 percent of the approximately 6.5 million household consumption points in the Czech Republic. The analysis found that changing the distribution tariff could reduce electricity costs for more than half of the households examined. Many households never reconsider their tariff One reason is that households often keep the same tariff for years without checking whether it still suits their electricity consumption. A tariff that made sense when a household first connected to the electricity grid may no longer be the cheapest option after its consumption patterns have changed. Many consumers, however, do not regularly review the distribution tariff listed on their electricity bill. According...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/world-famous-dj-tiesto-returns-to-prague-on-august-23</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Dutch DJ and producer Tiësto is returning to Prague on August 23, with a performance scheduled at DupleX Prague. One of the most recognizable names in electronic music, Tiësto has been a major figure in the international dance scene for more than two decades. His Prague appearance will bring him back to the city for another night at the popular rooftop club in the centre of Prague. The event is expected to feature a mix of Tiësto’s well-known tracks and newer material, alongside the production and atmosphere that have become a regular part of his live shows. Tiësto, whose real name is Tijs Verwest, began his career in the Dutch club scene before becoming internationally known through his work in trance music. Over the years, his sound has developed considerably, moving towards house, EDM and more mainstream dance music. He has since performed at some of the world’s largest festivals and venues and worked with a wide range of artists. His music has also reached audiences well beyond the traditional electronic music scene, helping establish him as one of the genre’s most commercially successful artists. Tickets are on sale through the official DupleX website. New album Tiësto is working on...

<title>Czech PM Calls for Closing Schengen to Spain due to Migration Crisis in Ceuta</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/czech-pm-calls-for-closing-schengen-to-spain-due-to-migration-crisis-in-ceuta</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš called for temporarily excluding Spain from Schengen due to the migration crisis in Ceuta, where about 49,000 migrants entered uncontrollably from Morocco. Italy has already suspended Schengen rules in connection with Spain. Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš called for closing the Schengen zone to Spain after a sharp escalation of the migration crisis in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. According to Babiš, the situation in Ceuta is “absolutely scandalous,” and the cause of the crisis was the overly lenient migration policy of the Spanish authorities. According to the publication, since Thursday, about 49,000 migrants have entered Ceuta uncontrollably from the territory of Morocco. At least 19 people have died trying to cross the maritime border. Foreign Minister Petr Macinka (Motorists) described the situation as a serious challenge for the entire Schengen Area but stopped short of calling for Spain’s exclusion, saying he wanted to hear Madrid’s position before drawing conclusions. What is the Schengen Agreement? The Schengen Area allows people to travel between 29 European countries without routine passport checks at internal borders. While border controls are normally abolished, member states can temporarily reinstate them if they believe there is a serious threat to public...

<description><![CDATA[ Spanish coach Santi Denia took over the Czech Republic national team on Friday to become the first foreigner in the post. The Czech soccer association said the 52-year-old signed a two-year contract with an option to be extended by another two years. Czech football association head David Trunda introduced Denia at a news conference in Prague. “We greatly appreciate that an expert with such a credit and immense experience at the international level is joining the Czech national team,” Trunda said. “I’m happy to be here and I’m extremely motivated, because I consider it a great opportunity to lead the Czech national team,” Denia said. “Czech football has a magnificent history and I honestly regard it as a great honor to be here.” Denia replaced Miroslav Koubek who resigned after the team’s early exit from the World Cup. Denia was a center-back in Atletico Madrid (1994-2005) and has two games on the national team to his credit. As coach, he led Spain to gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

<title>Revolut Opens Private Market Funds to Czech Investors</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/revolut-opens-private-market-funds-to-czech-investors</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Revolut is expanding its investment services in the Czech Republic, giving retail customers access to funds focused on private equity, private credit and infrastructure. The new products will become available in the Revolut app from July 31. The fintech has signed distribution agreements with four major asset managers — Apollo, Ares, Hamilton Lane and Partners Group — which collectively manage more than $2.8 trillion in assets. The move gives Czech retail investors access to parts of the private markets that have traditionally been aimed largely at institutional investors. Private market investments have often required substantial minimum commitments, frequently above €100,000, or around CZK 2.5 million. Revolut’s new offering is designed to lower that barrier and allow customers to add private assets to portfolios that may already include stocks, bonds and exchange-traded funds. Investments will be available directly through the Revolut app. The funds will be offered through the European Long-Term Investment Fund framework, known as ELTIF 2.0. How ELTIF 2.0 works The structure is intended to provide investors with greater flexibility than traditional private equity funds, where capital can remain committed for several years and withdrawals may not be possible during that period. The products offered through Revolut use an...

<description><![CDATA[ People looking for relief from the heat in central Prague can use the air-conditioned ground floor of the Škoda Palace in Jungmannova Street on Thursday and Friday. The city has opened the space to the public as temperatures across the Czech Republic are expected to rise well above 30°C. The building will be accessible from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on both days. Visitors can sit on benches and chairs, refill their water bottles at drinking fountains and use the toilets. Drinks and snacks are also available for purchase. The measure comes as the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute has warned of very high temperatures in parts of the country. Forecasters are advising people to drink regularly, stay out of direct sunlight where possible and avoid strenuous physical activity, particularly during the afternoon. The Czech Republic is facing several days of intense heat, with Friday expected to be among the hottest day of the current spell. Temperatures above 35°C are possible in some areas. Individual Prague districts are taking similar steps. Prague 3, for example, plans to make air-conditioned areas in its town hall, information centre and Žižkostel available to the public when temperatures are forecast to exceed 35°C. Visitors will be...

Czech police are preparing additional measures to protect participants in the week-long festival, which begins Monday. The measures will also reflect changes to this year’s festival route and venue. Prague Pride is moving its main festival area from Letná Plain to Štvanice Island. The traditional Saturday parade will also follow a new route, starting in the lower section of Wenceslas Square, continuing through the historic center and ending at Štvanice. Organizers will begin the parade with a minute of silence on Wenceslas Square to remember the person killed in the Berlin attack. “Thousands of people standing in silence will be a reminder that we will definitely not remain silent about violence motivated by prejudice,” Prague Pride director Kamila Fröhlichová said. This year’s Prague Pride will feature more than 100 cultural, educational and social events. Dozens of associations, institutions, companies and individuals will organize programs at venues across the capital. While many events will focus on the lives and experiences of LGBTQ+ people, the festival will also address wider questions surrounding human rights and civil society. A full program is available...

<title>On this Day, in 1419: the First Defenestration of Prague</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/on-this-day-in-1419-the-first-defenestration-of-prague</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Six hundred years ago, an angry crowd stormed Prague’s New Town Hall and threw several royal councillors from its windows. The attack, known as the First Defenestration of Prague, took place on July 30, 1419, and is widely regarded as the event that ignited the Hussite Wars—a conflict that transformed medieval Bohemia and left a lasting mark on Czech history. Yet the violence that unfolded that summer day had been years in the making. Its roots lay in the teachings of Jan Hus, a Czech theologian, university lecturer, and religious reformer who became one of the most influential figures of the late Middle Ages. Hus openly criticized corruption within the Catholic Church, particularly the sale of indulgences and the growing power of the church hierarchy. Rather than viewing the Church as an institution led by the pope and bishops, he argued that the true Church was the community of faithful believers. Summoned before the Council of Constance in 1415 to defend his beliefs, Hus was arrested despite receiving a promise of safe conduct. After refusing to renounce his teachings, he was convicted of heresy and burned at the stake. His execution outraged many across Bohemia. While members of the nobility...

<title>Hundreds of Czech Castles and Chateaus to Offer Free Entry on Two Special Days</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/hundreds-of-czech-castles-and-chateaus-to-offer-free-entry-on-two-special-days</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Visitors will be able to explore more than 100 state-managed castles, chateaus, monasteries, and other historic landmarks across Czechia free of charge on August 30 and September 27. The initiative follows a spring pilot program that granted free admission to selected state museums and galleries. According to the Ministry, strong public interest in that campaign encouraged officials to extend the concept to historic monuments managed by the National Heritage Institute (NPÚ). The free admission will apply to the standard sightseeing route at each participating site, along with selected additional visitor circuits where available. Tours will operate under normal conditions, meaning visitor numbers will remain limited and capacity restrictions will continue to apply. The National Heritage Institute is expected to publish a complete list of participating sites, opening hours, reservation requirements, and visitor information on its website in the coming days. The latest initiative builds on an earlier trial introduced this spring. Between April and June, visitors were granted free entry on selected Sundays to five of the country’s largest state museums: the National Museum in Prague, the Moravian Museum in Brno, the Silesian Museum in Opava, the National Technical Museum in Prague, and the Technical Museum in Brno. According to...

<title>Babiš Warns Czechia Could Become Net EU Payer by 2029 as Contributions Surge</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The Czech prime minister also said Brussels is likely to permit a larger budget deficit as Prague seeks funding for hospitals, highways, and other domestic investment. Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš has expressed alarm over the country’s rapidly increasing payments to the European Union, warning that the Czech Republic could become a net contributor to the bloc as early as 2029. Following talks with Finance Minister Alena Schillerová, Babiš said Czech payments into the EU budget had risen by 22 billion crowns (€911 million) this year alone. “I was shocked by how much we are paying into the European Union,” he said, as cited by Echo24. “If in one year we are told that we will pay 22 billion more, that is a lot.” Officials currently expect the Czech Republic to become a net contributor to the EU budget for the first time in its history in either 2029 or 2030. Babiš was also asked about next year’s state budget deficit. When asked whether it would exceed this year’s planned shortfall of 310 billion crowns (€12.8 billion), he replied, “Don’t test me. I don’t know what the deficit will be.” Schillerová said a reliable estimate would only be possible after...

<title>From Old Town to Main Station: Tourist Charged €150 for Short Taxi Ride</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/from-old-town-to-main-station-tourist-charged-150-for-short-taxi-ride</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/from-old-town-to-main-station-tourist-charged-150-for-short-taxi-ride</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A tourist has reported an alleged taxi scam in Prague, claiming that a journey from Old Town Square to Prague Main Railway Station ended with an unexpectedly high fare and a disputed payment. The incident reportedly took place on July 25 at around 16:15. According to the complaint, the driver charged CZK 980 for the ride, an amount the passenger said was far higher than the expected price for such a short distance. The tourist claims that the driver refused to accept payment by card and requested cash instead. “I paid him 100 Euros for the fare. He just took the note, swapped it and lied to me saying what I gave was 100 in Czech currency, and demanded me to pay the remaining 50 euro taxi fare,” the tourist said in his complaint. “So I paid the initial 100 euro that was swapped, plus the 50 euro taxi fare.” According to the passenger, the total amount paid for the ride was therefore €150 (over 3,600 CZK). He said he was rushing to catch a train to Bratislava and was unable to resolve the dispute at the scene. The tourist also claimed that no receipt was provided after the payment....

<title>Nearly One in Five Prague Farmers’ Market Vendors Fail Veterinary Inspections</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/nearly-one-in-five-prague-farmers-market-vendors-fail-veterinary-inspections</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Nearly one in five vendors inspected at Prague’s farmers’ markets during the first half of 2026 were found to have breached food safety or labeling regulations, according to the State Veterinary Administration (SVS). Between January and June, veterinary inspectors checked 53 vendors across Prague and identified violations in 10 cases, representing almost 19 percent of all inspections. Nationwide, inspectors carried out 165 inspections, with irregularities detected in 27 cases, or roughly 16 percent. Officials said the most common problems in Prague involved improper storage temperatures for food of animal origin, incorrect or incomplete product labeling, and inadequate protection of food from contamination during sale. Inspectors also highlighted several cases they considered particularly serious. In one instance, a vendor was found producing meat products without the legally required authorization while packaging them with the identification mark of a production facility that no longer exists. Authorities said such practices can mislead consumers about where products originate. The SVS warned that food safety risks increase during the summer months, especially at outdoor markets where high temperatures make it more difficult to maintain proper cooling conditions. Across the Czech Republic, labeling violations were the most frequently recorded offense this year, accounting for 26 cases....

<description><![CDATA[ Just off Old Town Square, past the cafes and the crowds waiting for the Astronomical Clock, sits a museum that started almost by accident. Today, IAM Prague has welcomed well over 1 million visitors from around the world and has held TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Award for five straight years. From Shopping Malls to Old Town Square The museum wasn’t originally supposed to be a… museum. Co-founder Jakub Bechyně and his partner Patrik Proško had been running a traveling illusion exhibit that moved between shopping malls, renting space for a month at a time before packing up and relocating. It worked, but it wasn’t permanent. Then, in 2017, the owner of a building on Old Town Square approached them with an idea: turn part of it into a museum. The catch was the timeline. They wanted it open in two months. Rather than build something from scratch, the team pulled from what they already had on the shelf, opening with one floor and sixteen exhibits in 2018. The collection has grown to more than 60 pieces since.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Illusion Art Museum Prague (@iamprague) The museum moved to its current location in...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/czech-company-enters-fortune-global-500-for-the-first-time</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A Czech company has entered the Fortune Global 500 ranking for the first time in history. Energy and industrial group EP Group (EPG), controlled by Czech businessman Daniel Křetínský, placed 179th in the latest edition of the prestigious list of the world’s largest companies by revenue. The ranking, published annually by the U.S. business magazine Fortune, evaluates companies based on their total sales. EP Group reported revenues of $75.387 billion, equivalent to around CZK 1.6 trillion. To put the figure into perspective, the Czech state budget expects total revenues of CZK 2.118 trillion this year. EP Group’s portfolio includes stakes in major companies across Europe, including British postal operator Royal Mail, Slovak energy producer Slovenské elektrárne, German retail chain Metro and French energy giant TotalEnergies. With its debut in the ranking, EP Group has also placed Prague among the headquarters of the world’s largest corporations. The Czech capital is now one of 242 cities worldwide where at least one Fortune Global 500 company is based. Only 14 other countries in the Fortune Global 500 ranking have a single representative, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Poland, Austria and Thailand. EP Group is also among a very small number of newcomers. Only 13...

<description><![CDATA[ The president of the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel, has made his way to the Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday – but was not an official visit. Ever wondered what world leaders do in their free time? For Czech Republic president Petr Pavel, the answer is sports photography – and he’s particularly passionate about motorsport. This weekend, he was attending the Hungarian GP with a full photography kit – and an official FIA accreditation. He arrived at the Hungaroring for Saturday’s sessions and was already taking pictures, accompanied by Czech F1 photographer Jiri Krenek. This wasn’t the first time he was seen at a major motorsport event as a hobby photographer. Most recently, Pavel travelled to France in June to attend the Le Mans 24 Hours, once again equipped with full camera gear. In fact, the former NATO Military Chairman has attended several races on both two and four wheels over the years. Within the Czech Republic, Pavel covered the MotoGP and World Superbike events at Brno, while he has travelled as far as the US and Saudi Arabia to photograph NASCAR and the Dakar Rally respectively. Last year, he also raised nearly 30,000 euros for a charity dedicated...

<description><![CDATA[ Prague’s growing pizza scene gained international attention after four local restaurants were recognized in the 50 Top Pizza Europa 2026 guide. The biggest success went to Pizza Nuova, which secured 30th place among the best pizzerias in Europe outside Italy. While the restaurant slipped a few places compared with last year’s ranking, it remains the only Czech establishment to appear in the guide’s main European list. Located near Prague’s Kotva department store, Pizza Nuova has built its reputation on authentic Neapolitan pizza made with premium Italian ingredients. The restaurant also holds certification from the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, an organization that promotes traditional Neapolitan pizza-making standards. Prague’s recognition extended beyond a single restaurant. Three additional venues received the guide’s Excellent Pizzerias distinction, awarded to restaurants that consistently demonstrate outstanding quality. This year’s recipients are Da Pietro, Sasy The Original, and Diskotéka in Prague’s Dejvice district.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Pizzeria Da Pietro Praha (@dapietropraha) Diskotéka is one of this year’s notable newcomers.

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-compared-to-11-european-cities-housing-jobs-transport</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A new report from the Prague Institute of Planning and Development (IPR) compares life in Prague with 11 other European cities, following a typical resident’s day—from housing and commuting to work, education, and leisure. Based on verified data collected directly from partner cities, the study highlights both Prague’s strengths and its biggest challenges. Prague Has Some of Europe’s Least Affordable Housing The report found that Prague has the least affordable owner-occupied housing among the cities compared. Buying an apartment requires more than 13 years of gross salary, placing Prague alongside cities such as Barcelona, Munich, and Amsterdam. Unlike many Western European cities, Prague also lacks relatively affordable rental housing. Renting a 60-square-meter apartment costs around 40% of the average salary in Prague. By comparison, the same apartment would consume about 28% of average income in Munich and just 14% in Vienna. Strong Job Market, But Lower Incomes Prague continues to have one of the lowest unemployment rates in Europe, making it relatively easy to find work. However, real incomes remain below those of most Western European capitals. Workers in Munich earn roughly 50% more than those in Prague, while wages in cities such as Copenhagen have grown steadily over the...

If the final plan is approved, construction could begin in 2028. The long-delayed project has become the centre of a dispute between transport authorities and heritage experts. While railway officials argue that a new three-track structure is necessary to meet future transport demands, conservationists continue to push for the preservation of the existing historic bridge. The Railway Administration has warned that the current condition of the bridge requires a final decision soon. Dispute over historic structure The main proposal currently under consideration is the construction of a new three-track railway bridge. Správa železnic selected a project team last year, but the plan remains controversial due to opposition from heritage authorities and groups seeking to preserve the original structure. The debate has also attracted international attention. UNESCO representatives are preparing a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA), which will examine how the planned changes could affect Prague’s cultural heritage. The Transport Association supports the construction of a new bridge, arguing that rebuilding the existing structure would be more expensive and would not provide enough additional capacity. Construction could start...

<description><![CDATA[ The Czech government has approved the next phase of one of its largest railway infrastructure projects: a new tunnel connecting Prague and Beroun. Construction is expected to begin in 2032, with completion scheduled for 2044. The 24.7-kilometre double-track tunnel will significantly shorten travel times on one of the country’s busiest rail corridors. Once completed, trains will travel between Prague-Smíchov station and Beroun in around 13 minutes, reducing the current journey time by more than 30 minutes. The project will also improve connections towards western Czechia and neighbouring Germany. The journey from Prague to Pilsen is expected to take approximately 45 minutes, while international rail services to Munich and Nuremberg will become faster and more reliable. New railway line designed for speeds of up to 200 km/h The planned railway route will include a new high-speed section designed for trains travelling at up to 200 km/h. The tunnel will begin near Prague-Smíchov station, pass beneath the Barrandov area, and emerge near Beroun. A separate connection on the Prague side is also planned, linking the new line with Braník Bridge and Prague-Krč. The additional infrastructure will improve connections within the capital while increasing capacity on the wider railway network. Construction preparation underway...

<description><![CDATA[ Visitors in Prague and Stockholm will soon be able to communicate across borders through a pair of interactive public art installations designed to exchange anonymous messages between the two cities. The linked installations, created by the Czech initiative Praho! project and its Swedish partner Stockholm! project, will open in Stockholm on August 20 and in Prague on August 31. The installations are designed as private spaces intended for one visitor at a time. After entering, participants answer a series of questions before listening to an authentic audio recording left by someone in the other city. They are then invited to record their own message, creating an ongoing exchange between residents and visitors in Prague and Stockholm. According to the project team, the concept explores what happens when anonymous thoughts become personal through the human voice. “The installation creates a space where you first listen to someone else—and only then can you speak,” the organizers said. “We want to explore how connecting two different cities through shared experiences can foster understanding.” The initiative is part of Art &amp; Design Without Borders, an international collaboration supported by the Erasmus+ programme. The project brings together organizations from the Czech Republic and Sweden to...

<title>Spicy, Not Spicy: How This Chef Is Bringing Authentic Chinese Street Food to Prague</title>

<description><![CDATA[ At Manifesto Market, the aroma of Sichuan peppercorns and chili oil stands out among the usual mix of street food and drinks. It comes from Lá Bù Lá Street, the more casual sibling of the restaurant Lá Bù Lá, both founded by Wen, a Chongqing native who wants to introduce Prague diners to the real flavors of her hometown. Wen arrived in Prague in 2019 after being accepted into a Master’s program at the Prague University of Economics and Business. But studying was only part of the reason she moved. At 22, she wanted a new beginning and the chance to discover a different version of herself. “There was something about Prague that attracted me immediately,” she says. “The architecture, the pace of life, the atmosphere of the city — it all felt very charming. I wanted to see what kind of person I could become here.” That decision eventually led her into the restaurant business, with four concepts launched over the years — two that closed and two that continue today.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Lá Bù Lá Street (@labula_street) Beyond the Stereotypes For Wen, opening a Chinese restaurant in Prague was...

<description><![CDATA[ Earning an internationally recognized high school diploma and preparing for admission to top universities no longer requires moving abroad. Canadian International High School in Prague (CIHS) offers students in Grades 10-12 a fully English-language education based on the Canadian curriculum. Located in the heart of Prague, CIHS combines the strengths of Canada’s education system with the quality of life and accessibility of the Czech Republic. Students receive a globally recognized diploma while studying in a familiar European environment, avoiding the higher costs and challenges of relocating overseas. An International Diploma Recognized Worldwide Graduates earn the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), Canada’s official high school credential, recognized in more than 20 countries. The diploma provides access to over 30,000 universities and colleges worldwide, including leading institutions across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe. Unlike the Czech education system, which typically spans 13 years, the Canadian program is completed in 12. As a result, students graduate a year earlier, begin university sooner, and gain an additional advantage as they build their academic and professional future. Learning the Canadian Way CIHS delivers its academic program in partnership with Toronto Imperial School, ensuring that students follow authentic Canadian educational standards. Courses...

<title>Charles Bridge Undergoes Careful Cleaning as Restorers Protect Historic Stonework</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The Prague Technical Administration of Communications (TSK) has started regular maintenance work on Charles Bridge, with restorers and specialists currently removing algae, moss and unwanted vegetation. The work is aimed at protecting the bridge’s sandstone elements from long-term damage caused by moisture and biological growth. According to TSK, the maintenance will continue over the coming weeks and will not affect pedestrian access or tourism on one of Prague’s most visited landmarks. Specialists are carrying out the work using climbing equipment and a support boat, allowing them to reach areas that are difficult to access from the bridge itself. The method enables detailed cleaning while avoiding any need to close the bridge to visitors. Experts say removing vegetation is an essential part of preserving Charles Bridge. Plants and microorganisms growing on the stone surface can retain moisture, which gradually weakens the masonry and accelerates natural deterioration. Restorers use traditional cleaning techniques The maintenance is being carried out manually using traditional restoration methods. Workers remove algae and other growth with controlled water pressure, silicone brushes and specialised tools. After cleaning the stone surfaces, restorers inspect and repair the joints between individual blocks. Damaged sections are cleaned to a depth of around two...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/czechia-debates-social-media-ban-for-children-as-france-moves-ahead</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ France is moving toward stricter rules on children’s use of social networks, while a similar debate is gaining attention in the Czech Republic. Lawmakers, educators and experts are increasingly discussing whether children should face age restrictions on social media and tighter limits on smartphone use in schools. The issue has grown across Europe amid concerns about excessive screen time, cyberbullying, online safety and children’s exposure to unsuitable content. France has become one of the first European countries to push forward with legislation that would prevent children under the age of 15 from creating accounts on social media platforms. The French Senate has approved the proposal, which still requires approval from the lower house of parliament before it can become law. If adopted, the measure would take effect on September 1 and require online platforms to introduce age verification systems. Companies would also have to remove accounts belonging to underage users within four months. The French proposal also includes restrictions on mobile phone use in secondary schools, reflecting a wider European discussion about the role of smartphones in children’s lives. Czech Republic considers stricter rules for smartphones in schools The Czech Republic has so far focused mainly on regulating mobile phone...

<title>Five Things to Know Before Flying From Prague Airport This Summer</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/five-things-to-know-before-flying-from-prague-airport-this-summer</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/five-things-to-know-before-flying-from-prague-airport-this-summer</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Passengers departing from Prague Airport this summer are being advised to plan ahead as the airport prepares for its busiest travel season in years. To help travelers avoid unnecessary delays, the airport has released a list of practical recommendations covering transport, security screening, travel documents and baggage rules. Leave Extra Time to Reach the Airport The biggest challenge this summer is expected to be road access to the terminals. Construction at the Aviatická–Lipská intersection may cause traffic congestion on routes leading to the airport. Airport officials recommend using public transport whenever possible, as buses are not affected by the roadworks. Travelers arriving by car should allow extra time to reach the terminals, particularly during peak holiday periods. Self-Service Check-In Can Save Time Passengers can speed up the departure process by using the airport’s self-service facilities. Prague Airport now offers 31 check-in kiosks and 32 self-service baggage drop counters, available for flights operated by 18 participating airlines. Before heading to the airport, travelers should also verify the entry requirements for their destination. Those flying to the United Kingdom, for example, now need an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before departure. Bring Physical Travel Documents Although many travelers rely on digital wallets and...

<description><![CDATA[ International drugstores, fashion retailers, discount chains and restaurant concepts are preparing to open their first locations in Czechia, adding new competition for established players. Here are some of the biggest brands expected to enter the Czech market. Müller German retailer Müller is preparing to launch in the Czech Republic. The company has already established a Czech branch and website, although it has not yet announced the opening date of its first store. Unlike traditional drugstores, Müller combines cosmetics and personal care products with toys, stationery, household goods, pet supplies and organic food. The chain operates nearly 1,000 stores across nine European countries and will compete with established Czech market leaders such as dm, Rossmann and Teta. Krispy Kreme American doughnut chain Krispy Kreme is reportedly searching for a location in central Prague and could open its first Czech store soon. Founded in North Carolina in 1937, the company became famous worldwide for its Original Glazed doughnuts and stores where customers can watch the production process. Ochnik Polish fashion brand Ochnik plans an ambitious expansion in the Czech Republic, with 15 to 20 stores expected by the end of 2026. The company specializes in leather jackets, footwear, luggage and accessories. It...

<title>Prague Petřín Cable Car Ticket Price to Rise to 100 CZK After Reopening</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-petrin-cable-car-ticket-price-to-rise-to-100-czk-after-reopening</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Passengers using the iconic Petřín Cable Car will pay more when the service resumes in September. The city council has approved a new fare of 100 CZK for a single ride, up from the previous 60 CZK. The increase comes after a two-year shutdown during which the historic line underwent major reconstruction. The cable car has been out of operation since September 2024, with new vehicles built in Switzerland now undergoing final testing before returning to service. The first passengers are expected to board the renewed cable car in September, but the experience will come at a higher cost. Passengers who purchase tickets electronically will pay a discounted fare of 90 CZK. Children under 15 and seniors over 65 will continue to travel free of charge. The ride will also remain included in Prague’s 24-hour and 72-hour public transport tickets, as well as long-term travel passes. The Petřín Cable Car, one of Prague’s most popular attractions, connects the Újezd area with Petřín Hill and provides access to one of the city’s most visited viewpoints. The service has been closed while the track, technology and vehicles were being upgraded. The newly manufactured cars feature a modern design and are currently completing...

<title>Prague Airport Unions Declare Strike Readiness Over New CEO Appointment</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-airport-unions-declare-strike-readiness-over-new-ceo-appointment</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Five trade unions at Václav Havel Prague Airport and ČSA Handling have announced strike readiness over the appointment of Radomír Lašák as the new head of Letiště Praha. The unions’ announcement does not currently affect airport operations. Prague Airport confirmed that all flights are operating normally and passengers should not expect disruptions, delays, or cancellations. The labour groups oppose Lašák’s appointment, pointing to his previous role in the management of Czech Airlines before the carrier entered bankruptcy proceedings. They have also raised concerns about the transparency of the selection process for the airport’s top executive position. Trade union representatives are seeking more information about possible future changes to the airport’s management structure, financial strategy, and personnel policy. They argue that employees have not received sufficient guarantees about the company’s future direction. Additional concerns emerged after Prime Minister Andrej Babiš said the government was considering a possible stock market listing of part of Prague Airport’s shares. Unions fear that such a move could bring changes to the airport’s operations and affect job security. Finance Minister Alena Šillerová rejected the concerns, saying there was no reason for employees to worry. According to her, Lašák was selected as the strongest candidate through an...

<description><![CDATA[ Prague residents will have the chance to see JAS 39 Gripen fighter jets flying above the city on Wednesday, July 22. The aircraft will take part in a ceremonial event at the National Memorial on Vítkov. The flyover is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. and will be carried out as a training flight connected with the ceremony. According to information from Prague 4 City Hall, the jets will approach the capital from the east, flying over areas including Běchovice, Dolní Počernice and Žižkov. The aircraft will then turn south over Prague Castle before continuing their return route through Podolí, Nusle and Hostivař. After completing the flight over the city, the jets will head back to their base in Pardubice. The route means residents in several parts of Prague may be able to see the aircraft, depending on weather conditions and visibility. Military aircraft flights over the capital are relatively rare but not unusual. In March 2024, crowds gathered in central Prague to watch a large military flyover marking the 25th anniversary of the Czech Republic joining NATO. That event included five fighter jets and an Airbus aircraft, which flew over landmarks including Charles Bridge. The fighter jets later returned to their...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/five-legendary-ballets-in-one-night-at-pragues-hybernia-theatre</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prague’s Hybernia Theatre is hosting a series of special evenings dedicated to classical ballet, bringing together some of the most celebrated scenes from the world’s best-known productions. The upcoming Classic Ballet Gala will take place on July 22, 25 and 29. More info about the program here. The performance will feature students and graduates of the conservatory, presenting excerpts from legendary ballets including Don Quixote, Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, Sleeping Beauty and Le Corsaire. Rather than focusing on a single full-length production, the gala will offer audiences the opportunity to experience highlights from several major works in one evening. The young dancers will perform in specially prepared costumes and under the guidance of experienced teachers, including former soloists of the National Theatre Ballet. The artistic concept and dramaturgy of the evening are overseen by Pamela Morávková and Jiří Horák. The programme will combine the dramatic energy of Don Quixote, the romantic atmosphere of Swan Lake, the fantasy world of The Nutcracker, the fairy-tale elegance of Sleeping Beauty, and the adventure of Le Corsaire. Founded in 1945, the Prague Dance Conservatory is the oldest and largest institution of its kind in the Czech Republic. Over eight decades, the school has educated...

<description><![CDATA[ Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey attracted film fans from across Europe to Prague, where Cinema City Flora hosted a sold-out 70mm IMAX premiere. Tickets for the opening night sold out within hours of going on sale, with visitors traveling from several countries to experience the film as Nolan intended. The adaptation of Homer’s ancient epic has been among the year’s most anticipated releases since its announcement. While its cast and source material generated significant attention, much of the excitement centered on its technical achievement. The Odyssey is the first feature film shot entirely on 70mm IMAX film, making screenings in compatible theaters exceptionally rare. Cinema City Flora is among roughly four dozen cinemas worldwide equipped to project 70mm IMAX film. Until earlier this month, it was the only venue in continental Europe with that capability. Following the opening of new theaters in France and Belgium, it is now one of just three across mainland Europe still offering the format. It also remains the continent’s longest-operating 70mm IMAX venue. Because 70mm IMAX projectors are no longer manufactured and require specialized maintenance, very few cinemas can continue operating the technology.

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/twelve-prague-tram-lines-changed-due-to-repairs-in-city-center</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Tram services on Spálená Street and Národní třída in central Prague have been suspended due to track repairs. The closure, which began on Saturday, will continue until August 10 and affects 12 tram lines operating through the city center. The Prague Public Transit Company (DPP) has not introduced replacement bus services during the disruption. Passengers are advised to use the metro as an alternative, especially for journeys through the busiest parts of the city. The affected section runs between the Újezd and Lazarská stops and impacts tram lines 2, 4, 5, 9, 18, 22, 23, 42, 93, 97, 98 and 99. Several routes have been temporarily modified. Some trams are being redirected through the National Theatre stop on Masarykovo nábřeží, while others are operating via Myslíkova Street and Jiráskovo náměstí, or through Anděl and Švandovo divadlo. Some lines have received more significant route changes. Two Temporary Tram Lines Added During Repairs To help manage the disruption, DPP has introduced two temporary tram services. Line 32 connects Vypich with Sídliště Řepy, while line 39 runs between Vozovna Žižkov and Náměstí Bratří Synků. A new temporary stop has also been created at Malostranská. During daytime operations, trams will stop on the Edvarda...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/top-tower-in-pragues-nove-butovice-receives-building-permit</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The planned Top Tower skyscraper in Prague’s Nové Butovice has received a building permit, clearing a major obstacle for the project that is expected to become the tallest building in the Czech Republic. The 126-metre tower, developed by Czech company Trigema, will feature a large architectural structure resembling the wreck of a ship leaning against the building. The unusual element was designed by artist David Černý together with architect Tomáš Císař. The exact construction start date has not yet been announced and will depend on further administrative procedures. The project is planned to include around 250 residential units, mainly designed as smaller apartments and shared housing options aimed at younger residents. According to the approved plans, Top Tower will have 44 floors, including 37 above-ground levels and seven underground floors. The underground section will include technical facilities and parking spaces for approximately 250 vehicles. The lower floors are planned to contain shops, cafés, a reception area, offices, a multifunctional hall, a rooftop terrace and a bar. The upper part of the building will focus on shared living spaces with smaller residential units and communal facilities. The highest levels will include observation areas, cafés and a luxury apartment. The most distinctive...

<description><![CDATA[ In the quiet village of Bukovka, around 90 kilometres east of Prague, one house stands out from all the others. Painted in Argentina’s iconic sky blue and white, complete with a giant Sun of May on its façade, it is impossible to miss. Outside, a life-sized statue of Diego Maradona greets visitors, while a massive mural of Lionel Messi and Argentina’s 2022 World Cup-winning squad covers the back of the building. The extraordinary home belongs to Miloslav “Čurby” Urbanec, 51, arguably Czechia’s most devoted supporter of Argentine football. Urbanec’s passion began almost five decades ago. As a four-year-old, he watched the 1978 FIFA World Cup with his father, who supported Brazil. But while his father admired Pelé and the Brazilian greats, Urbanec fell in love with Argentina. The team’s long-haired stars reminded him of Winnetou, his childhood hero, and Argentina’s triumph that summer sealed a lifelong obsession. His admiration has since grown far beyond simply watching matches. After returning from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, he decided to transform his property into a tribute to Argentina’s football culture.   The mural features not only Lionel Messi but also head coach Lionel Scaloni, assistant coaches Pablo Aimar and Walter Samuel,...

<description><![CDATA[ Prague 6 is calling for a complete ban on night flights at Václav Havel Airport, arguing that residents should have the right to uninterrupted sleep. The district wants to gradually reduce air traffic during nighttime hours, with a full restriction planned no later than 2032. The airport currently plans to limit night operations to 48 flights per night under its voluntary declaration. However, Prague 6 officials say the number is still too high and want stricter measures. “Our goal is to ensure that residents of Prague 6 can enjoy peaceful and undisturbed sleep, which is a basic condition for a healthy and fulfilling life in our district,” said Prague 6 Mayor Jakub Stárek (ODS). The district council is seeking a complete ban on flights between midnight and 5:30 a.m. by 2032. According to officials, the measure would significantly reduce noise exposure and improve the quality of life for people living near the airport. The district plans to negotiate the proposal with Air Traffic Control, the national Slot Coordination Office, and the Ministries of Transport and Finance. A special working group is expected to be created to discuss possible solutions. Prague 6 wants the number of night flights to decrease by...

<description><![CDATA[ Few cities are as closely connected to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart as Prague. More than two centuries after Don Giovanni premiered here, visitors can still experience his music in a setting that captures the atmosphere of the era. The Mozart Dinner at the Grand Hotel Bohemia combines a live opera performance with a three-course dinner in the hotel’s spectacular Boccaccio Hall, one of Prague’s finest historic ballrooms. The concert features leading opera singers accompanied by a string quintet, performing some of Mozart’s best-known arias and duets from The Marriage of Figaro, The Magic Flute, and Don Giovanni. The latter holds a special place in Prague’s history, having premiered at the city’s Estates Theatre in 1787. The performance is designed to be more intimate than a traditional opera concert. Instead of remaining on stage throughout the evening, the singers move through the hall, performing among the audience and making guests feel part of the experience. The evening is divided into three musical performances, with each followed by a course of dinner. Rather than separating the concert from the meal, the format allows the two to complement one another, creating a relaxed pace that encourages guests to enjoy both. The menu draws on...

<description><![CDATA[ Two people died and another person was seriously injured after a violent axe and knife attack at a hostel in Prague. Police officers responding to the scene shot and killed the attacker, who had also threatened them. The incident happened on Thursday evening at a hostel on Vídeňská Street in Prague 4, according to Czech news outlet Novinky.cz, which first reported on the case. The hostel is located near the Institute of Clinical and Experimental Medicine (IKEM), and the attacker and victims were reportedly employees of the medical facility. Police said the suspect attacked people inside the building before turning on responding officers. The officers used their weapons against him, and the attacker was killed at the scene. Authorities later confirmed that no further threat to the public remained. Emergency crews treated four people following the incident. Two victims suffered cardiac arrest and rescuers immediately began resuscitation efforts. Despite their attempts, both patients died. A third person suffered serious injuries caused by a sharp weapon. After receiving medical treatment, the injured person was transported to a trauma centre while conscious. The fourth person involved in the incident was not physically injured but required medical attention due to psychological and internal...

<title>Czech Government in Talks to Buy Israeli Air Defense Systems</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/czech-government-in-talks-to-buy-israeli-air-defense-systems</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prague is discussing the possible purchase of Israeli-made air defense systems, including the Spyder and Arrow platforms, as part of efforts to strengthen the country’s military capabilities. Czech Foreign Minister Petr Macinka said on Tuesday that Prague is holding talks with Israeli defense companies over the acquisition of several air defense systems. He made the remarks during a press conference with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar in Tel Aviv. Macinka confirmed that the Czech government is examining several options to modernize its air defense capabilities, including Israel’s Spyder system and the Arrow missile defense system. He did not provide details on the potential value of the purchases or a possible timeline for any agreement. “Regarding the Spyder, yes, we are discussing air defense systems with Israel because these systems are technologically among the most advanced,” Macinka said. The talks come as European countries increase investment in air defense systems amid growing security concerns. Israeli systems have attracted attention due to their capabilities in intercepting missiles, drones, and other aerial threats. The discussions also reflect continued defense cooperation between the Czech Republic and Israel. Prague has previously purchased Israeli military technology, including the SPYDER short-range air defense system from Israeli defense...

<description><![CDATA[ Police are investigating a shooting that left a woman dead and a man seriously injured on Herbenova Street in Prague 10. Investigators say the incident appears to have been a murder followed by an attempted suicide. Emergency services were called to the scene after reports of gunfire. Several police units were sent to the area while officers secured the location and began investigating the circumstances of the incident. “When officers arrived, they found one person dead with a gunshot wound and another injured person nearby. We are currently looking for the perpetrator,” Prague police said in a statement published on social media platform X. According to preliminary findings, detectives believe the incident involved a former couple. The woman, born in 1975, was killed, while the man, born in 1971, is believed to have attempted to take his own life after the attack. Police later confirmed that there was no longer any danger to the public. Paramedics also responded to Herbenova Street, sending multiple emergency crews, including doctors and an emergency supervisor. “Two patients with serious injuries were under our care. Both required resuscitation, which was continued by our teams after arrival. One patient’s vital functions were restored and the person...

<title>Czech Parliament Approves Return of Electronic Sales Records Starting Next Year</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/czech-parliament-approves-return-of-electronic-sales-records-starting-next-year</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The Czech Chamber of Deputies has approved the return of electronic sales records (EET), a system that will once again require businesses to register certain payments. However, the new version will differ from the original system introduced in 2016. One of the main changes is that businesses will no longer be required to automatically print receipts for customers. Smaller self-employed entrepreneurs will also be able to use a free state-provided application to record sales through a smartphone. Finance Minister Alena Schillerová said the restored system could bring additional revenue of at least CZK 14.4 billion per year. The government argues that EET will create equal conditions for businesses and prevent companies that follow the rules from being disadvantaged. Unlike the previous version, the renewed EET system will focus only on certain types of payments. It will apply to direct transactions such as cash payments, card payments made at a physical location, and QR code payments. Online payments made through e-shops will not be included in the system. Smaller businesses will have exemptions The legislation also introduces several exemptions from mandatory sales registration. Among those excluded will be self-employed people with annual turnover of up to CZK 1 million who use...

<description><![CDATA[ For many expats, learning Czech is one of the biggest challenges of settling in Prague. While English can be enough to navigate everyday life, understanding the local language often becomes the key to connecting with the city and its people. Few people know this journey better than Lorenzo Di Bisceglie, the owner of Language Atelier, a language school in Prague’s Old Town that focuses on personalised courses taught by native speakers. His connection to Prague, however, began long before he took over the school. “The reason why I ended up in Prague is that at the university in Italy I took Bohemian Studies as my main subject – Czech language and literature,” he says.  “That’s usually where I start when people ask about my story, and people are always surprised. It looks like Bohemian Studies are not so popular.” Over seventeen years in Prague, he has seen the city and its international community change. “When I arrived in Prague, the town was still predominantly Czech,” he recalls. “In all these years the expat community grew exponentially.” Before taking over Language Atelier, Lorenzo spent years teaching languages as a freelancer. Becoming a business owner was never part of the original plan....

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-apartment-prices-near-metro-stations-the-2026-ranking</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ This article has been written by Finaram.cz, a Czech platform specializing in mortgages, home financing, and real estate advice. For many people buying property in Prague, one question comes up early in the search process: How much extra are you paying to live near a metro station? The answer is often: quite a lot. According to Valuo’s Metro Index 2026, apartment prices around Prague metro stations vary dramatically depending on location. The most expensive stations exceed CZK 250,000 per m², while the most affordable remain close to CZK 110,000 per m². How the Data Was Calculated This comparison focuses on apartments in personal ownership with a size of 65–95 m², either renovated or newly built, located within one kilometer of a Prague metro station. The analyzed period covers October to January 2026. Using the same criteria across all metro locations makes it possible to compare neighborhoods on a more like-for-like basis and identify where buyers are paying the highest — and lowest — prices for metro access. Which Metro Line Is the Most Expensive? Valuo’s data shows significant differences between Prague’s metro lines. Average apartment prices along each route stand at: Line A: CZK 171,200/m² Line B: CZK 144,400/m² Line C:...

Held under the theme “Stories of Those Who Were Missing Here”, the festival will highlight the lives of both well-known figures and ordinary citizens who emigrated after the Soviet-led invasion. Their absence had a profound impact on Czechoslovak families, culture, science, education and public life. NeverMore 68 has become one of the Czech Republic’s largest events dedicated to remembering the events of 1968 and their consequences. The festival combines historical reflection with discussions about democracy, freedom and the importance of preserving collective memory.

<description><![CDATA[ A new public park is being created in Prague’s Karlov, transforming an overlooked passageway into a green space for walking, relaxation and views of the city. The Karlovská předmostí park will officially open on July 23 and will become part of a planned pedestrian promenade connecting Karlov, Albertov and Větrov. The area between Horská Street and the New Town walls currently serves mainly as a route for people passing through, but the redevelopment aims to turn it into a place where visitors can stop and spend time. The project includes new greenery, walking paths, benches and seating areas built along the historic walls. A new public artwork, titled Zpřítomnění (Making Present), will also become part of the park after being selected through an architectural competition. The bronze sculpture, created by Jan Darks and David Velík, recalls the former children’s hospital in Karlov, which was demolished in 1971 to make way for the construction of the Nusle Bridge. The renovation has included repairs to the existing walls, replacement of staircases and cleaning nearby structures from graffiti. The park’s paths have received new surfaces made from hammered and chipped paving, while the original street furniture has been replaced with new benches and...

<description><![CDATA[ There are places in Prague where it is easy to forget you are still in the middle of a busy city. The garden of Restaurant Červený Jelen, right in the centre, is once again one of them. In the evening light, it offers a calm summer setting with music, the smell of food from the grill, well-made drinks, and an atmosphere that feels closer to a relaxed seaside bar than a capital city courtyard. Jelení léto continues throughout the summer until 2 September, offering an after-work escape for anyone who wants to slow down for a while, meet friends, or spend an easy summer evening in a different rhythm than the rest of the city. The events take place every Wednesday from 6 pm, with selected Sunday editions also included in the programme. The special Sunday evenings are scheduled for 19 July and 23 August, both starting at 4 pm. Each week has its own programme and mood. Music is part of the concept throughout the season, with DJs and occasional live sets in cooperation with Hitrádio City. Alongside the music, the programme is built around themed evenings focused on drinks. The line-up includes Bacardi (19 July), Peach Spritz evenings...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/czech-republic-to-witness-its-biggest-solar-eclipse-until-2075</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The Czech Republic is set to experience its most impressive solar eclipse in decades on August 12, when the Moon will pass between the Earth and the Sun. Astronomers say it will be the country’s most significant partial solar eclipse until 2075, making it the standout astronomical event of 2026. While Czech observers will see most of the Sun obscured, those traveling to parts of Spain, Iceland and Greenland will witness the eclipse in its total phase. Researchers note that it will also be the closest total solar eclipse to the Czech Republic until 2081, making it a rare opportunity for both amateur and professional skywatchers. The path of totality will cross Greenland, Iceland, northern Russia, the Atlantic Ocean, Spain, and a small part of northwestern Portugal. Across much of Europe, including the Czech Republic, the event will appear as a partial eclipse. When to watch in the Czech Republic The eclipse will unfold during the evening as the Sun approaches the horizon. The phenomenon is expected to begin shortly after 7:19 p.m. CEST, reaching its maximum around 8:11 p.m. In southern and western Bohemia, the Moon will cover more than 86 percent of the Sun’s visible surface. Astronomers say...

<title>Prague Has Plenty of Asian Restaurants. Han.sik Does Things Differently</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-has-plenty-of-asian-restaurants-hansik-does-things-differently</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prague’s Asian dining scene has expanded quickly in recent years. Korean food in particular has moved from niche to mainstream, helped by the popularity of fermented dishes like kimchi and a growing appetite for meals that are more interactive than passive. Han.sik is located inside the Masaryčka building, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, is one of the newer openings pushing that shift further. The restaurant sits on the first floor, away from the busiest walkways. It is not immediately obvious on a first visit, and many people hesitate before finding the entrance. Once inside, the atmosphere changes completely. The space, designed by NEUHÄUSL HUNAL, is built around wood, open surfaces and restraint. There is an open kitchen and a sushi counter, but nothing feels decorative for its own sake. The focus remains on the tables and the food. Han.sik is, above all, a Korean barbecue restaurant. Each table has a built-in grill with integrated ventilation, removing the need for overhead chimneys. The room feels open and uncluttered, with attention kept firmly on the dining experience. The meal begins with the meat selection: Black Angus beef, Iberico pork and A5 wagyu sit among the highlights. Guests cook everything themselves at the...

<title>Prague’s Kotva to Reopen in 2028 with Three Italian Brands</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/pragues-kotva-to-reopen-in-2028-with-three-italian-brands</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prague’s Kotva department store will reopen in 2028 after an extensive redevelopment, with Italian luxury fashion, dining and hospitality brands among its first confirmed tenants. Owner Generali Real Estate announced that fashion house Dolce &amp; Gabbana, hospitality group Cipriani, and Italian food retailer Eataly will all open locations inside the renovated complex. The company also said luxury menswear brand Kiton, based in Naples, is expected to join the project at a later stage. The redevelopment aims to transform Kotva into a high-end retail and public destination while preserving one of Prague’s best-known modernist buildings. According to Generali Real Estate, the renewed complex will combine international brands with spaces focused on design, gastronomy and contemporary urban life. Kotva has been closed for a major renovation that is expected to be completed in 2028. Once finished, the building is intended to serve not only as a shopping destination but also as a place for dining, leisure and public events. Kotva first opened in 1975 and was designed by architects Věra and Vladimír Machonin. Its distinctive hexagonal structure has made it one of the country’s most recognizable examples of Czechoslovak Brutalist architecture. The building received cultural monument status in 2019, recognizing its architectural...

<title>Czech Government Considers Making Kindergarten Compulsory from Age Four</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/czech-government-considers-making-kindergarten-compulsory-from-age-four</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/czech-government-considers-making-kindergarten-compulsory-from-age-four</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The Czech government is considering extending compulsory preschool education from one year to two, meaning children could be required to attend kindergarten from the age of four. Education Minister Robert Plaga (ANO) said the proposal aims to provide earlier support for children who may need additional help before starting primary school. “Schools need more psychologists, special educators and other experts who can support both children and teachers. This support must begin as early as possible, already in kindergarten,” Plaga said in a video published on Facebook. He added that early intervention can improve children’s chances of success later in life. Currently, preschool education is compulsory in Czechia only for children who turn five before the start of the school year. The minister argues that earlier attendance could help children from disadvantaged backgrounds or those facing difficult situations at home. “A child’s more challenging behavior is not always caused by a lack of interest in education. In some cases, children are dealing with difficult circumstances and need support before their problems become more serious,” Plaga said. He added that helping children develop their abilities or overcome difficult periods represents a long-term investment in society. Lack of kindergarten places remains a challenge...

<title>New Ranking Puts Prague Among the Top 10 City for Expats</title>

<description><![CDATA[ For many people considering a move abroad, feeling welcome can be just as important as career opportunities or quality of life. While some countries are popular tourist destinations, not all make it easy for newcomers to settle, find work, build friendships and navigate everyday life. That’s the thinking behind a new study from international insurance provider William Russell, which has ranked the world’s most welcoming countries and cities for expats in 2026. Experts crunched six factors, including real expat experiences, migrant population size, foreign-born employment rates, local attitudes towards immigrants, and safety and visa openness, to work out where newcomers can happily build a life. The world’s most welcoming country? Iceland, scoring 8.94 out of 10. The land of fire and ice has the highest foreign-born employment rate in the study, with a whopping 84.2 percent of international residents in work – meaning expats aren’t just tolerated, they’re properly woven into the economy. Luxembourg took second place (more than half its residents were born abroad, the highest share in the world), while New Zealand rounded out the podium. The rest of the top 10 is mostly a parade of wealthy nations like Australia, Switzerland and Ireland, with one glorious outlier:...

<description><![CDATA[ The Danish retail chain Normal will officially enter the Czech market next month, opening its first two stores in Prague and bringing its distinctive shopping concept to local customers. The retailer has confirmed that its Czech debut will begin on August 12 at Atrium Flora, followed by a second store opening on August 14 at Galerie Butovice. The company says Prague will serve as the starting point for its expansion into the country. Unlike traditional discount retailers, Normal does not rely on temporary sales, promotional campaigns, or loyalty schemes. Instead, the chain focuses on offering internationally recognized brands at stable, competitive prices throughout the year. “We are very happy to begin our expansion into the Czech market with the opening of two stores in Prague,” said CEO Jakob Frölich Maarbjerg. “We believe Czech customers will appreciate our concept, which combines well-known brands, consistently low prices, and a broad product selection.” One of the company’s defining features is the design of its stores. Rather than using conventional aisles, customers follow a maze-like route that leads them through the entire assortment before reaching the checkout. The layout is intended to encourage shoppers to discover products they might otherwise overlook. Normal’s range includes...

<description><![CDATA[ Just a short walk from Prague’s Main Railway Station, a café is quietly redefining the idea of sitting down for coffee. The Healthy Longevity Café sits in a carefully designed space filled with greenery, natural light and minimalist furniture. Yet it is more than a café.

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/sunrise-parade-to-commemorate-669th-anniversary-of-charles-bridge</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prague will celebrate the 669th anniversary of the laying of the foundation stone of Charles Bridge on Wednesday and Thursday with a series of historical events, lectures, and free museum activities. The main celebrations will take place on Thursday, July 9, beginning before sunrise. At 5:00 a.m., a ceremonial procession portraying Holy Roman Emperor and Czech King Charles IV, accompanied by his wife Anna of Świdnica, Bohemian knights, medieval squires, drummers, musicians, and soldiers, will depart from the Lesser Town Bridge Towers and make its way across Charles Bridge. The procession will arrive at Křižovnické Square, where, at exactly 5:31 a.m., Charles IV will symbolically strike the bridge’s foundation stone. The ceremony recreates the precise moment when construction officially began on July 9, 1357, following the famous numerical sequence 1-3-5-7-9-7-5-3-1, believed at the time to bring prosperity and good fortune. After the reenactment, Křižovnické Square will host a historical and cultural program featuring medieval dances by Regii Caroli regis, traditional music performed by Řemdih, and appearances by the royal drummers and standard-bearers of the Fedrfechtýř group. The day’s program will conclude with a 7:00 a.m. Mass at the Church of St. Francis of Assisi, led by Grand Master Josef Šedivý....

<description><![CDATA[ The annual Night of Castles and Chateaux takes place on August 22. The program includes night tours, tours with lanterns and candles, theatrical performances, concerts, shows and other amusements. Highlights include torchlight displays in Prague’s Baroque gardens, 1930s swing and fashion in Brno’s villas, and a hunting-season atmosphere at Hluboká Chateau. Visitors can also join candlelit tours in Buchlovice, discover a secret passage at Bezděz, or listen to French chansons in Častolovice. You can try contemporary fare in the castle kitchens, have a look in places where visitors usually never get to see, or you can walk around the château with a flashlight and hear stories that sent chills down the spine during previous generations. The following Prague landmarks participate in this event every year: the Senate of the Czech Republic, the Gardens below Prague Castle, Invalidovna, and Chvalský Castle. The Night of Castles and Chateaux is an annual celebration organized by the National Heritage Institute starting in 2010. Its goal is to showcase these sites in a new light, at an unusual time of day, and with a special program. Unlike Museum Nights, it is not a requirement that the events be free for visitors; on the contrary, it...

<description><![CDATA[ Tesco is considering selling its operations in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary, according to a report by the Financial Times. The British supermarket group is reportedly holding discussions with bankers about a possible sale of its Central European business as it looks to sharpen its focus on the UK market. Tesco declined to comment on the report, saying it does not respond to market speculation. A sale would affect a business employing around 22,000 people across the three countries. More than 10,000 employees work in the Czech Republic alone, making Tesco one of the country’s largest private-sector employers. Tesco entered the Hungarian market in 1995 before expanding into the Czech Republic and Slovakia the following year. Since then, it has built one of the region’s largest retail networks. According to its latest annual report, the company operates 561 stores across the three countries. Despite its size, the Central European business contributes only a small share of Tesco’s overall earnings. The company’s European division generated £4.5 billion (around CZK 128 billion) in revenue during the last financial year, while adjusted operating profit reached £115 million. By comparison, Tesco’s total group sales stood at £66.6 billion, with adjusted operating profit of...

<description><![CDATA[ Linda Nosková produced another impressive performance at Wimbledon on Wednesday, defeating Belgium’s Elise Mertens 6-3, 7-5 to reach the first Grand Slam semifinal of her career. The 21-year-old’s victory means Czechia will have two women in the Wimbledon semifinals, with Karolína Muchová also securing her place in the final four. It marks the first time since the 2019 Australian Open that two Czech women have reached the semifinals of the same Grand Slam. At Wimbledon, the last Czech duo to achieve the feat was Petra Kvitová and Lucie Šafářová in 2014. Nosková arrived in London in excellent form after winning the Berlin Open and has now claimed 10 victories in her last 11 matches. Her previous best Grand Slam result came at the 2024 Australian Open, where she reached the quarterfinals. With this latest win, she also became the eighth Czech woman to reach the Wimbledon semifinals since 2000. Against the experienced Mertens, Nosková built her success around a powerful serve and aggressive returning. She struck 30 winners compared with Mertens’ 18 and fired seven aces during the one-hour, 49-minute contest.

<title>Czech Government to Raise Defence Spending by CZK 36 Billion Next Year</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/czech-government-to-raise-defence-spending-by-czk-36-billion-next-year</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The Czech government plans to increase defense spending by 36 billion CZK next year, allowing the Czech Republic to meet its NATO commitment of spending 2% of GDP on defence for the first time. Prime Minister Andrej Babiš announced the plan before departing for the NATO summit in Ankara, where allied leaders are expected to discuss military spending, the war in Ukraine and the future direction of the alliance. The Ministry of Defense received 154.79 billion CZK in this year’s state budget, equivalent to roughly 1.8 percent of GDP. An additional 30 billion CZK is expected to support defense-related projects through other parts of the state budget, but the government has acknowledged this will still fall short of NATO’s methodology for reaching the alliance’s spending benchmark. Earlier this year, Defense Minister Jaromír Zůna said NATO estimates Czech defense spending at 1.78 percent of GDP in 2026. His ministry has proposed increasing the budget to around 190 billion CZK next year to meet the alliance’s target. Speaking before the summit, Babiš described the gathering in Ankara as one of the most important NATO meetings in recent years. He said the Czech delegation would attend as the country’s new coalition government, emphasizing...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-plans-8000-municipal-apartments-to-ease-housing-crisis</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prague is preparing a major expansion of its municipal housing stock, with plans for up to 8,000 new city-owned apartments over the coming years. While construction remains limited today, the city says dozens of projects are moving through the planning process as it seeks to increase the supply of affordable rental housing. The programme is being coordinated by the Prague Development Company (PDS), a city-owned organisation established in 2020 to prepare residential developments on municipal land. According to its latest annual report, PDS has been entrusted with around 90 hectares of land, where more than two dozen projects are planned. The apartments are intended primarily for people who struggle to find affordable housing, including seniors, people with disabilities, single parents and workers in key public services such as healthcare, education, the police and the fire brigade. Despite these ambitions, only a small number of municipal apartments are currently being built. Data from Prague’s Institute of Planning and Development (IPR) shows that since 2019, around 50 to 60 municipal apartments have been completed each year, almost all of them developed by individual city districts. Among the latest projects are a building with 29 municipal apartments in Modřany, developed by Prague 12,...

<description><![CDATA[ The planned Depo Písnice station on Prague’s new Metro Line D could become a key transport hub connecting the capital with several towns in the Central Bohemian Region. The terminal station is expected to stand close to Prague’s southern border and could allow passengers to travel from the city centre almost directly to surrounding areas. According to current plans, the station entrance will be built near the border of Prague. The first trains on this section of Line D are expected to operate around 2032. Depo Písnice is designed as more than just a metro terminus. The project includes a P+R parking facility with space for 409 cars, a bus terminal and a transfer point for passengers from nearby towns such as Dolní Břežany, Vrané nad Vltavou, Jílové, Jesenice and Benešov. The Prague Public Transit Company estimates that around 5,500 passengers could use the station every day. The new metro line is also expected to reduce pressure on existing transport hubs, especially Kačerov and Budějovická stations, which currently handle large numbers of passengers travelling from southern Prague and surrounding municipalities. Plans for the area around Depo Písnice include the development of a new public space with a square, housing and...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-wont-raise-public-transport-fares-even-as-costs-grow</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The Prague City Council has approved a new transport strategy that will shape the city’s public transport system from 2026 to 2030. The plan focuses on improving capacity, reliability and service quality across the Prague Integrated Transport (PID) network, which also connects to the Central Bohemian Region. Despite rising operational costs, the city has again ruled out any increase in public transport fares. This position remains unchanged even as the financial gap in the system continues to grow. Prague remains among the cheapest Czech cities According to the plan, Prague still has one of the lowest public transport costs among major Czech cities. With an annual pass, the daily cost of travel is roughly 10 CZK. Annual ticket prices in selected cities: Prague – 3,650 CZK Brno – 4,750 CZK Ostrava – 4,400 CZK Plzeň – 4,656 CZK Liberec – 3,990 CZK Growing gap between costs and revenues Behind the political decision to keep fares unchanged is a widening financial gap. In 2019, Prague set a goal for fare revenue to cover roughly a quarter of the operating costs of the PID system. That target is no longer being met. Last year, fare income reached a record 5.41 billion CZK,...

<description><![CDATA[ A new open-air event inspired by Barcelona’s street culture is coming to Prague. Groovy Market Fest will take place on 1 August 2026 in Riegrovy sady, turning the park into a one-day urban market focused on food, design and music. The concept is built around a simple idea: slow down the pace of the city and create a space where people can spend time outdoors without a fixed programme or pressure to move between stages. The organisers describe it as a mix of market, social space and informal cultural gathering. The festival is divided into three main areas. Food Garden will bring street food concepts prepared on site, with an emphasis on simple recipes and fresh ingredients. Palm Street will focus on bakery products, small food producers and craft brands working with local and regional ingredients. The Design Zone will present independent designers, fashion labels and small creative studios with a focus on original production. Music will run throughout the day with DJs and a curated programme designed to support the atmosphere rather than dominate it. A signature drink prepared on site will also be part of the experience. According to co-founder Marek Novák, the goal is not to replicate...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-could-near-two-million-residents-by-2050-forecasts-suggest</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prague continues to grow steadily, with official data showing that the capital has already passed 1.4 million residents. According to the Czech Statistical Office (ČSÚ), the population of Prague stood at 1,405,551 at the end of March 2026. This figure includes 686,987 men and 718,564 women, meaning women accounted for 51.1 percent of the population. During the first three months of 2026, the city recorded a decline of 1,533 residents. At the end of 2025, the total stood slightly higher at 1,407,084. Different institutions, however, present a more complex picture of how many people actually live in the capital. The Institute for Planning and Development of the City of Prague (IPR) has previously estimated that the real number of residents, based on mobile data and long-term movement patterns, ranges between 1.1 and 1.4 million people. The difference stems largely from residence registration rules. The 2021 census counted 1,301,432 people with usual residence in Prague and 1,261,304 with permanent residence. IPR estimates that around 12 percent of people living in the city are not officially registered there, while a similar number are registered in Prague but live elsewhere. According to Matouš Hutník from IPR, this group includes mainly younger, single residents...

<title>Scabies Infections Surge in Prague During First Half of the Year</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/scabies-infections-surge-in-prague-during-first-half-of-the-year</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prague has recorded a sharp rise in scabies infections this year, with public health officials urging residents to recognize the symptoms early. According to the Prague Public Health Authority, 459 people were diagnosed with scabies during the first six months of the year. That compares with 300 cases during the same period last year, marking a notable increase in infections across the Czech capital. Despite the higher numbers, health officials stress that Prague continues to have one of the country’s lowest infection rates relative to its population. One of the biggest misconceptions surrounding scabies is that it is linked to poor personal hygiene. Doctors say this is false. The condition has affected people around the world for centuries and periodically becomes more widespread, regardless of living standards or social background. “The current increase reflects the high mobility of modern society rather than individual hygiene,” said Dr. Martina Marešová, head of the anti-epidemic department at the Prague Public Health Authority, in an official statement. Can You Catch Scabies on Public Transport? As case numbers rise, many Prague residents have questioned whether trams, buses and the metro pose a risk. According to health experts, the likelihood of becoming infected during a typical...

<description><![CDATA[ Prague audiences can watch an open-air production of William Shakespeare’s The Tempest on Štvanice Island on July 17 and 18, presented by the theatre company Mad and Merry Men. Directed by Gordon L. Schmitz, the production offers a new interpretation of Shakespeare’s final play. In this version, Shakespeare himself appears as a character, stepping into the story as he writes it and briefly taking on the roles of several characters throughout the performance. Get your ticket here. The company has previously staged productions including Baron Münchhausen Between the Stars, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, A Clockwork Orange, and Murder on the Orient Express. Set on a remote island ruled by the magician Prospero, The Tempest follows a story of revenge, forgiveness and reconciliation. The production combines Shakespeare’s original text with live music and an ensemble cast, using the island setting as a natural backdrop for the performance. The costume and set designers behind Baron Münchhausen Between the Stars have also worked on The Tempest. Live music inspired by medieval traditions will accompany the performance.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by The Mad And Merry Men; Theatre Company Prague (@themadandmerrymen) The event is designed as an...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-enters-global-top-ten-for-congress-tourism-market</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prague has entered the top tier of global congress tourism destinations, ranking sixth worldwide in the latest ICCA index. The city attracted more than 850,000 participants last year, confirming its position among the most active hubs for international meetings and conferences. According to the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA), only Lisbon, Barcelona and Vienna are ahead of Prague. The Czech capital hosted roughly five thousand conferences over the past year, with the majority of delegates arriving from Europe and the United States. Interest from Asia has also been growing. The strength of Prague in this segment is linked to its hotel capacity and infrastructure. Many hotels in the city combine accommodation with conference facilities, which supports large-scale events. Industry representatives also point to safety as an increasingly important factor for organisers when selecting destinations. “Prague has a relatively good network of hotels, most of which have congress facilities. Prague also deserves this by being a safe destination. This is an increasingly strong motivating factor for visitors to come,” said Václav Stárek, president of the Association of Hotels and Restaurants. Congress tourism in Prague is coordinated by the Prague Convention Bureau. Its director Roman Muška says business events help stabilise...

<title>More Than Cocktails: The Story Behind the Iconic Tretter’s Prague</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/more-than-cocktails-the-story-behind-the-iconic-tretters-prague</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ For many expats in Prague, Tretter’s is far more than a cocktail bar. Over the years, the brand has grown into a collection of venues known for their atmosphere, elegance, and long-standing place in the city’s social life. Behind the brand is Michael Tretter, one of the most recognized names in Czech hospitality. During a recent conversation, he shared the story behind Tretter’s, its philosophy, and some lesser-known details that help explain its enduring popularity. “Our goal was to create places that leave a lasting impression,” Tretter says. “We wanted our venues to feel as though they had existed for decades—even when they were brand new.” That idea of timelessness has guided the company from the beginning. From interior design and music to lighting and service, every detail is carefully considered to create a sense of character and history. One of the most remarkable parts of the Tretter’s story is the American Bar inside Prague’s Municipal House. Hidden beneath the building’s marble staircase, the venue first opened in 1912 and is considered one of the oldest cocktail bars in Europe. Its original features have largely survived, including artwork by painter Mikoláš Aleš and historical design elements linked to the era...

<description><![CDATA[ Following its success across Germany and Poland, the Berlin-based burger chain plans to enter the Czech market, with its first location expected to open in Prague either later this autumn or in early 2027. The story of Burgermeister is often described as a textbook Berlin success story. What began as a small stand in a disused public toilet booth under the U-Bahn tracks at Schlesisches Tor has grown into a franchise widely regarded as serving some of the city’s best burgers. Today, the company operates more than 30 locations and continues to expand. After growing across Berlin and Germany, Burgermeister recently entered Poland, opening in Szczecin and later in Łódź, with additional Polish cities planned. The next step is the Czech Republic, where the first Prague branch is expected as part of the company’s broader European expansion. The company’s long-term plan envisions up to 20 locations across the country.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Burgermeister (@burgermeister.official) Beyond Poland and Czechia, Burgermeister is also eyeing further international expansion, including the UK, Spain, and Scandinavia. Despite this growth, the concept remains unchanged, with production continuing centrally and no adjustments made to local preferences. “Every burger should...

<description><![CDATA[ The Czech cocktail scene has earned international recognition after Forbína and Alma were both included in the inaugural Europe’s 50 Best Bars ranking. The prestigious list places Forbína at No. 38 and Alma at No. 25, making them the only Czech venues to appear among the continent’s top 50 bars. The first-ever Europe-focused edition of the World’s 50 Best Bars ranking was unveiled during a ceremony in Amsterdam on June 30. The list was compiled by more than 300 bartenders, bar owners, journalists, and hospitality experts, who evaluated venues based on cocktail quality, creativity, service, atmosphere, and the overall guest experience. Forbína, located opposite Prague’s National Theatre, achieved the recognition less than two years after opening its doors. The bar’s concept blends cocktails with theatrical storytelling, drawing inspiration from famous playwrights, classic stage productions, and the world of theatre itself. Each drink comes with a story that bartenders share with guests, creating an experience that goes beyond the cocktail. Located on V Jirchářích Street, Alma has built an international reputation under bar manager Pavel Sochor, whose team regularly hosts guest shifts featuring some of the world’s leading bartenders. The venue has become known not only for its cocktail menu but...

<description><![CDATA[ Germany’s industrial slowdown is beginning to affect Czech factories, exposing how closely the two economies remain linked through supply chains, particularly in automotive and machinery production. According to consultancy EY, more than 120,000 jobs were cut in German industry in 2025, almost twice as many as a year earlier. The decline reflects weaker output, falling revenues and reduced confidence among German companies. EY analyst Jan Brorkhilker said German industry is facing a deep downturn, with companies adjusting production and staffing in response to weaker demand. Business associations in Germany, as reported by Reuters, expect further pressure on the labour market in 2026 as the economic slowdown continues. German manufacturers are dealing with several overlapping problems. Energy costs remain high after the European energy crisis, global demand has weakened, and companies face rising regulatory and transformation costs linked to decarbonisation and digitalisation. These factors are now feeding into hiring decisions. Surveys among German industry groups show that most companies expect further workforce reductions next year, while only a small share plan to expand. Radek Špikar from the Czech Confederation of Industry and Transport said the situation in Germany is a concern for Czech exporters. “We hope Germany will find a new...

<description><![CDATA[ The Czech retail market welcomed 16 new international brands in the first half of 2026, according to a report by Cushman &amp; Wakefield. Fourteen of the brands opened their first Czech locations in Prague, while one launched in Ostrava and another in Pardubice. The food and beverage sector remained the strongest driver of expansion, accounting for seven new brands. One of the most high-profile openings was BOSS Café, which launched on Prague’s Na Příkopě Street next to the BOSS flagship store. The café concept currently exists in only a handful of cities worldwide, including London and Bangkok. Other newcomers included Slovak café Choco Boss, Ukrainian supermarket Best Market, Canadian confectionery Choco Choo, Italian sports nutrition retailer Volchem, German restaurant Home of Dumplings, and YO! Sushi, which opened its first Czech branch in Prague after its parent company entered the market last year with Sushi Circle. Fashion was the second most active category, with four new brands entering the market. Romanian accessories label Alisa Enco opened at the Mandarin Oriental Prague, while American fashion brand Kenneth Cole chose Westfield Chodov for its first Czech store. German menswear brand Digel debuted at Fashion Arena Prague Outlet, and Italian luxury label Ermanno Scervino...

<description><![CDATA[ Prague’s Václav Havel Airport handled 1,579,301 passengers in May, marking a 5.22 percent increase compared with the same month last year. From the beginning of the year until the end of May, total passenger numbers reached 6,526,218, representing a 7.54 percent year-on-year increase. One of the most notable changes in May was in country rankings. Italy became the most popular destination, narrowly surpassing the United Kingdom. A total of 177,925 passengers flew to Italy, compared with 177,764 to the UK, a difference of just 161 travellers. Spain followed with 155,388 passengers, then France with 106,849. Turkey, Germany and the Netherlands also remained among the most frequently chosen destinations. London remains the busiest city route Despite the country-level shift, London stayed the single most popular destination overall, with 115,178 passengers travelling from Prague. Paris followed with 73,576 passengers, while Istanbul recorded 63,394 travellers. Other major city routes included Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Milan, Copenhagen, Rome and Barcelona, confirming the strong concentration of demand in major European hubs. Outlook for the year In 2024, Václav Havel Airport handled more than 17.75 million passengers, approaching the pre-pandemic record of 17.8 million set in 2019. For this year, the airport aims to reach 18.9 million passengers,...

<title>Hidden in a Forest, This Is Prague’s Oldest Observation Tower</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/hidden-in-a-forest-this-is-pragues-oldest-observation-tower</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/hidden-in-a-forest-this-is-pragues-oldest-observation-tower</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ For many visitors, Petřín Hill is the obvious destination for panoramic views over Prague. Yet the city’s oldest observation tower stands in a completely different location. Hidden among the trees of Cibulka Forest Park in Prague’s Košíře district, this little-known landmark offers a quiet alternative to the capital’s busiest tourist attractions—and visiting it costs nothing. Built in 1820, the stone tower predates the famous Petřín Lookout Tower by decades. It formed part of a romantic English-style landscape park commissioned by Leopold Thun-Hohenstein, the Bishop of Passau, as part of the Cibulka estate. Designed as a place for leisure rather than spectacle, the park reflected the 19th-century fashion for picturesque gardens filled with architectural features and hidden corners. Unlike Petřín’s towering structure, the Cibulka observation tower rises only 13 meters above the ground. Its modest height means the viewing platform sits just above the surrounding treetops rather than soaring above the city skyline. Visitors climb a narrow spiral staircase before reaching views over Košíře, Motol, and parts of western Prague. Despite lying only a short walk from the busy Plzeňská Street, the forest park feels surprisingly peaceful. The absence of crowds makes it easy to enjoy the surroundings, whether for a...

<title>Smog Alert Issued for Prague as Ozone Pollution Reaches Dangerous Levels</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/smog-alert-issued-for-prague-as-ozone-pollution-reaches-dangerous-levels</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/smog-alert-issued-for-prague-as-ozone-pollution-reaches-dangerous-levels</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A smog alert was issued for Prague and the Central Bohemian Region after ozone levels exceeded safe limits. The warning, issued by the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (ČHMÚ), remains in effect until further notice. It comes as the country continues to experience exceptionally hot weather, which has created ideal conditions for ozone formation. According to meteorologists, the alert was declared after monitoring stations recorded hourly average ozone concentrations above the information threshold of 180 micrograms per cubic meter. Forecasters expect similar levels to continue at some measuring stations, meaning the health warning is likely to remain in place. Ground-level ozone is not emitted directly into the atmosphere. Instead, it forms when pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons react under strong sunlight. Heatwaves often accelerate this process, leading to higher concentrations, particularly during the afternoon. Health officials advise people to avoid intense physical activity outdoors while ozone levels remain elevated. The recommendation is especially important for children, older adults, and people living with chronic respiratory illnesses, who are more vulnerable to air pollution. Exposure to high levels of ozone can irritate the lungs and mucous membranes. Common symptoms include coughing, burning eyes or nose, headaches, and a feeling of pressure in...

<title>Extreme Heat and Holiday Schedule Slow Down Prague Public Transport System</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/extreme-heat-and-holiday-schedule-slow-down-prague-public-transport-system</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Public transport in Prague is moving more slowly as high temperatures and a seasonal timetable combine to affect operations across the network. The Prague Integrated Transport system introduced widespread tram speed reductions over the weekend in response to record heat. The measures affect the entire city network. According to transport authorities, extreme temperatures cause overhead lines to expand and sag, which limits safe operating speeds. In some underpasses, trams are restricted to around 10 km/h. Across the wider network, the general limit has been reduced to 40 km/h as a precaution linked to track tension and safety conditions. Prague Public Transport Company spokesperson Daniel Šabík confirmed that the measures continue across the network. He said the reduced speed applies citywide, with even lower limits in underpasses and at selected crossings. Transport operators have also pointed to passenger comfort during hot weather, recommending metro travel where possible. In a public message, Prague Integrated Transport noted that underground lines remain less affected by heat, as they are shielded from temperature-related technical issues affecting surface transport. Alongside the heat-related restrictions, a summer timetable has been introduced. This results in longer intervals between services across trams, buses and metro lines. The seasonal schedule typically...

<description><![CDATA[ The Czech Republic already fulfils nearly all economic conditions required to adopt the euro, according to a new Convergence Report published by the European Commission. The report suggests that the remaining obstacles are no longer economic, but political and institutional. The report evaluates EU member states outside the euro area on their readiness to join the single currency. After Bulgaria joined the eurozone this year, 21 EU countries now use the euro. Denmark remains outside due to an opt-out agreement. The assessment therefore focuses on five countries: the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Romania and Sweden. The Czech Republic stands out among them. The Commission concludes that it meets three of the four main economic convergence criteria, placing it among the most prepared countries alongside Sweden. Inflation, debt and interest rates within limits Inflation has returned below the reference threshold after several years above target. In May, the annual average fell to 1.9%, below the benchmark level of 2.7%. The Commission expects it to remain within the required range through 2027. Public finances also comply with Maastricht rules. The general government deficit stood at 2.1% of GDP in 2025, while public debt reached 44.3% of GDP. Both figures remain below the...

<description><![CDATA[ Prague’s Metro D project is entering another phase, with the city’s transport authority preparing to launch architectural and artistic competitions for two future stations. The Prague Public Transit Company (DPP) expects to announce the competitions in September, according to Deputy Mayor Jaromír Beránek, who oversees transport. One competition will focus on the complete interior design of the future Písnice station, while another will commission a major artwork for the Pankrác station. Officials held an introductory meeting for both competitions this week. The winning proposals are expected to be selected before the end of the year. For Písnice, DPP plans to organize an open competition that could attract architects and designers from abroad. The goal is to create the station’s overall interior appearance. In contrast, the competition for Pankrác will be more limited, with five invited artists competing to design a single artistic feature for the station. The city has already used similar competitions to shape several Metro D stations. Designs have previously been selected for Libuš, Pankrác D, Olbrachtova, Nádraží Krč, Nemocnice Krč, and Nové Dvory. After the Písnice competition is completed, DPP also plans to select designs for Náměstí Míru, Depo Písnice, and Náměstí Bratří Synků. Before work begins...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/canadian-singer-garou-returns-to-prague-for-one-night-concert</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Canadian singer Garou will perform in Prague on 2 October 2026 at the Prague Congress Centre as part of his European “Best of” tour. The show marks his return to the city after a sold-out concert in 2023 and will feature a full big band arrangement combining his most popular songs with newer material. Garou remains one of the most recognisable voices in French-language music over the past two decades. Known for his rough, expressive tone and strong stage presence, he first reached international fame at the end of the 1990s and has maintained a loyal audience across Europe and Canada. Tickets are available via Ticketportal.cz Born Pierre Garand in Sherbrooke, Quebec, he grew up in Canada and studied music from an early age. Before his breakthrough, he performed in bars and small venues, building his reputation through live shows. His career changed in 1997 when he was cast by lyricist Luc Plamondon as Quasimodo in the musical Notre-Dame de Paris. The role brought him instant international attention and led directly to his solo career. His debut album Seul, released in 2000, became one of the most successful French-language records of its time. It was followed by a series of...

<title>Prague Has 756 Cars for Every 1,000 Residents and the Number Is Still Rising</title>

<description><![CDATA[ With roughly one million on-street parking spaces serving a city of 1.4 million people, streets in many neighborhoods increasingly resemble open-air parking lots. Experts say the problem is not driven by a single factor but by a combination of population growth, suburban expansion, changing lifestyles and decades of planning decisions. The Czech capital now has 756 registered passenger cars for every 1,000 residents. Thirty years ago, there were around 300 fewer vehicles per 1,000 inhabitants. While the number of registered cars briefly declined after reaching a peak in 2021, it has been climbing again ever since. Hundreds of Thousands Enter Prague Every Day Although Prague officially has around 1.4 million residents, its transport network serves far more people than that. According to anonymized and aggregated mobility data provided by O2 Dataclair, about 460,000 additional people travel into Prague on a typical busy weekday. In practical terms, the city’s daytime population grows by roughly one-third every working day. The data includes all forms of transport, but the additional demand also places heavy pressure on Prague’s road network. Planning Rules Encourage More Driving The city still applies minimum parking requirements for new developments. Residential projects generally must provide at least one parking...

<description><![CDATA[ Around one fifth of Czech weather stations recorded a tropical night from Friday into Saturday, with temperatures staying above 20 degrees Celsius until morning, the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute has said. Meteorologists say that a tropical night is recorded when the temperature does not fall below 20 degrees Celsius. On Saturday night, this threshold was reached at roughly one fifth of all measuring stations across the country. According to data from the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (ČHMÚ), the phenomenon was observed nationwide, affecting lowland areas, higher elevations and even some mountainous locations, as well as major cities. In Prague, the warmest conditions were recorded in the city centre. At the Praha-Klementinum station, the temperature stayed above 23.7 degrees Celsius throughout the night, the ČHMÚ reported on Facebook. While the current conditions are notable, the highest recorded nighttime temperature in Czech history dates back to 8 August 2013 in Bystřice pod Hostýnem, where 27.2 degrees Celsius was measured. Forecasts suggest that warm nights will continue. On Sunday night, temperatures are expected to remain between 18 and 23 degrees Celsius, with little cooling after sunset. Meteorologists also warn that Monday could bring the highest concentration of tropical nights, as a partly cloudy sky associated...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-set-for-a-busy-summer-with-16-million-visitors-expected</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prague is preparing for another busy summer, with around 1.6 million visitors expected to arrive during July and August, according to estimates from Prague City Tourism (PCT). The figure represents an increase of roughly five percent compared with the same period last year, when approximately 1.5 million people visited the Czech capital. The latest outlook suggests that the city’s tourism sector will continue its steady recovery, supported by strong demand from both domestic and international travelers. The forecast is supported by figures from STR, the international hotel market data provider. During the first five months of the year, Prague hotels recorded an average occupancy rate of 71.6 percent, up 5.3 percent from a year earlier. Hotel prices have also continued to climb. The average room rate reached €120.55 per night, an annual increase of 7.7 percent. According to Prague City Tourism, the Czech capital is currently seeing faster growth in hotel performance than neighboring Vienna. Luxury accommodation has experienced even stronger demand. Occupancy in Prague’s high-end hotels increased by around seven percent year-on-year, while the average nightly room rate rose by €11, reaching €209. City officials view the trend as evidence that Prague is increasingly attracting higher-spending visitors. In recent...

<description><![CDATA[ Starting this winter, travelers flying from Prague will have two more direct destinations to choose from as Smartwings adds regular services to Bergen in Norway and Venice in Italy. The airline announced that the new connections will become part of its 2026/2027 winter schedule, with flights to Venice beginning on October 22 and the Bergen route launching on October 26. Passengers heading to Venice will be able to fly four times a week, with departures scheduled on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays. The route is expected to appeal to both weekend travelers and tourists visiting one of Italy’s most popular cities. A few days later, Smartwings will introduce direct flights to Bergen, Norway’s second-largest city and one of the main gateways to the country’s famous fjords. The route will operate twice a week, on Mondays and Fridays, providing Czech travelers with a direct link to western Norway without the need for connecting flights. According to Michal Váňa, Sales Director at Smartwings, expanding the airline’s regular network remains a long-term priority. “We continue to strengthen Prague’s air connections with attractive European destinations. Bergen and Venice rank among the most popular tourist locations, and we believe these direct flights will be welcomed...

<description><![CDATA[ A taste of Vietnamese childhood and family tradition finds a new home in Prague. For the brothers behind Bamico, opening a Vietnamese sandwich shop was never simply about food. It was about identity and bringing a piece of home to the city they love. “We are two brothers, and the idea for Bamico was born out of pure exhaustion and nostalgia,” they explain. Growing up in the Czech Republic, they watched their parents dedicate their lives to entrepreneurship, often sacrificing family time in pursuit of building a better future. “We watched our parents work 16-hour days with almost no weekends,” they explain. “Bamico was born out of respect for their work ethic, but also from a desire to build something of our own.” Years later, after spending time abroad, the brothers found themselves experiencing a different kind of challenge. “When we lived abroad, we experienced a deep sense of isolation and homesickness,” they recall. Missing the flavors and atmosphere of their childhood, they began searching for a way to reconnect with their roots. The result was Bamico. At the center of Bamico’s concept is bánh mì, Vietnam’s iconic sandwich and one of the country’s most beloved street foods. For the...

<description><![CDATA[ Illusion Art Museum Prague (IAM Prague) hosted a vernissage on Wednesday, June 24, unveiling new works by South African artist Jonty Hurwitz, Berlin-based kinetic artist Florian Goerlitz, and Slovak digital artist Andrej Boleslavský. The new additions expand the museum’s collection of contemporary illusion, kinetic, and interactive art. Hurwitz presents two mirror anamorphoses, Echo and Rejuvenation in Bronze, inviting viewers to experience how form, reflection, and perspective can transform what we see. Goerlitz presents Infinity, a kinetic work that brings movement and mechanical precision into the museum’s growing collection of contemporary illusion art. Boleslavský contributes the digital artwork Liquid Mirror, which explores the relationship between image, movement, and perception through a responsive digital surface, where many moments coexist, sliding against one another.   Since 2018, IAM Prague has become one of the city’s most distinctive interactive art attractions, combining visual illusion, Czech history, playful storytelling, and participatory installations. The museum recently received the Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Award for the fifth consecutive year, reflecting consistently strong visitor feedback. The new works mark another step in the museum’s broader ambition: to operate not only as a visitor attraction, but as an active cultural venue that supports artists, hosts events, and creates new reasons...

<description><![CDATA[ The Czech Republic have been eliminated from the FIFA World Cup after losing 3–0 to hosts Mexico in their final Group A match in Mexico City. The Czechs finished bottom of the group with one point from three matches, having previously lost to South Korea and drawn with South Africa. Miroslav Koubek’s side started brightly and looked the more dangerous team for much of the opening half hour, with Denis Višinský and Michal Sadílek both going close. However, Mexico grew into the game before the break and took full control after halftime. Mateo Chávez opened the scoring in the 60th minute following a rapid counterattack, before Julián Quiñones doubled the lead six minutes later after a defensive mistake. Álvaro Fidalgo added a third in stoppage time to seal Mexico’s third consecutive group-stage victory. The result sends Mexico into the knockout rounds with a perfect record, while Czechia’s tournament ends at the group stage after a disappointing campaign that produced only a single point and no wins. A two-decade wait that ended too soon The Czech Republic hadn’t appeared at a World Cup since 2006, their first as an independent nation following the 1993 split of Czechoslovakia. That 2006 campaign in...

<title>Holiday Costs Rise: Croatia No Longer the Cheap Seaside Option for Czechs</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Cheap last-minute packages to the seaside are still available for Czech travellers, but the range of options is narrowing quickly. As temperatures in Czechia climb above 30 degrees Celsius, many people are deciding whether to wait for last-minute offers or secure their summer trip early. Current market data shows that discounted deals have not disappeared, but they are increasingly limited in scope and availability. Travellers who are open to changing destinations or departure dates can still reach Mediterranean beaches at relatively low cost. Those who insist on a particular resort, hotel standard or exact timing are facing a much smaller selection and higher prices. In the final weeks of June, some of the cheapest week-long packages to Bulgaria, Turkey or Greek islands can still be found at around 9,000 to 11,000 CZK per person. However, travel operators say these offers are no longer typical and are becoming exceptions rather than the rule. More common are all-inclusive stays in well-rated hotels, which during peak season are priced between 18,000 and 26,000 CZK per person. In many cases, the difference between budget offers and standard packages now exceeds 10,000 CZK per traveller. The pressure on household budgets is also shifting travel behaviour....

<title>Prague Public Transport Switches to Holiday Schedule This Weekend</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-public-transport-switches-to-holiday-schedule-this-weekend</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prague’s public transport network will move to its annual summer schedule this Saturday, bringing longer waiting times on metro, tram and bus services. The seasonal timetable will remain in place until August 28, after which regular service frequencies will return across the city. Metro services will continue running throughout the summer but with reduced frequency during weekday rush hours. Passengers on Line A will see trains arriving 60 to 75 seconds less often than during the regular schedule. On Line B, intervals will increase by 40 to 60 seconds, while Line C services will be spaced 20 to 35 seconds further apart, depending on the time of day. At midday, trains on all three metro lines will operate every five minutes. Weekend services will generally run at intervals of seven and a half minutes. Tram passengers will also notice changes. Most routes will operate every ten minutes during weekday peak periods and every 12 minutes around midday. The city’s busiest tram corridors, including lines 9, 17 and 22, will continue running at roughly twice that frequency. Bus services will follow adjusted summer schedules as well, with longer intervals on weekdays and selected weekend routes. School bus services will be suspended...

<title>New Prague Tram 52T Earns Global Design Prize</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/new-prague-tram-52t-earns-global-design-prize</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/new-prague-tram-52t-earns-global-design-prize</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The new Prague tram Škoda 52T has received the Red Dot Award for product design, an international distinction that highlights strong industrial and user-focused design in global manufacturing. The jury evaluated the vehicle’s visual design, functionality and passenger comfort. Škoda Group developed the tram through its internal design team, creating a model tailored specifically for Prague’s public transport system. The aim was to combine a modern visual identity with the practical demands of daily city operation. Particular attention was given to the interior layout, passenger visibility and the distinctive front section of the vehicle, which defines its overall appearance in urban traffic. The design was developed with a focus on usability in dense city conditions. According to the company, the balance between engineering solutions and passenger experience played a key role in the award decision. Tomáš Chludil, head of industrial design at Škoda Group, said the project aimed to merge comfort, safety and visual clarity in a single transport solution, while maintaining a clear identity for the vehicle within the city network. The tram measures nearly 32 metres in length and offers 70 seats. It can carry more than 240 passengers and features a fully low-floor design for easier boarding....

<title>From Local Café to Miss Universe 2026: The Story of Hues Kafe in Prague</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Less than a year after opening its doors in Prague, Hues Kafe achieved a milestone few young independent cafés can claim. The café was selected as an official catering partner for Miss Universe 2026 in Prague, successfully serving approximately 300 guests, including around 200 adults and 100 children. For founder Sameer Shaikh, the moment felt surreal. “When we received the opportunity, we had only two days to prepare. It was a huge responsibility, but also a proud moment for our entire team.” Located in the heart of Prague, Hues Kafe has quickly built a reputation for its colorful presentation, specialty coffee, and unique Indian-European brunch concept. Unlike many cafés that rely on pre-prepared food, dishes at Hues Kafe are made fresh to order, combining flavors from different cultures while maintaining a focus on lighter, oil-free cooking. One of the café’s distinguishing features is its coffee program. Sameer personally sources and develops unique blends, including combinations of Indian, Brazilian, and Colombian beans. His goal is not only to serve quality coffee but also to introduce more people to Indian coffee, which remains relatively unknown compared to many Latin American varieties. The café itself was built entirely through personal savings accumulated during...

<title>West&#45;Level Prices, Czech&#45;Level Pay. The Gap Is Becoming Harder to Ignore</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Housing and food prices in the Czech Republic are nearing Western European levels, while salaries continue to lag. New data published by Eurostat highlight a growing imbalance in the Czech economy. While average price levels remain below those in much of Western Europe, some of the most important expenses facing households have nearly caught up with richer countries. Overall, prices in the Czech Republic stand at 89.4 percent of the European Union average. That remains lower than Germany, where prices reach 108.3 percent of the EU average, and Austria at 113 percent. However, the broader figure masks substantial differences between sectors that directly affect everyday life. Housing is the clearest example. The cost of housing, energy, and related household services in the Czech Republic has reached 107.1 percent of the EU average. Germany records 113.9 percent and Austria 113.4 percent, leaving only a relatively small gap between Czech households and those in Western Europe. The contrast with neighboring countries to the east is striking. Housing-related costs amount to just 52.2 percent of the EU average in Poland and 80.4 percent in Slovakia. This means Czech residents now face housing expenses that are far closer to German levels than to those...

<description><![CDATA[ The latest escalation between the two political opponents has ended up in the country’s constitutional court, which is expected to take up the matter on Wednesday. Czech President Petr Pavel on Tuesday said that he had filed a lawsuit against the government, challenging Prime Minister Andrej Babiš’s decision to not include him in the government delegation attending the NATO summit in Ankara in July. The competency suit, which was lodged with Czechia’s Constitutional Court, asks for clarity on who has the authority to decide whether the head of state may attend the NATO summit. The court is due to take up the matter during its plenary session on Wednesday. In a statement, Pavel argued Babiš was trying to “exclude” him from the summit, and thus “limiting the role granted to him by the Constitution.” The president pointed out that his predecessors had attended all previous NATO summits, and that he had been present at every one of the alliance’s gatherings since he took office in 2023. After months of contention over who would represent Prague in Ankara, Babiš on Monday announced the head of state could not join the official delegation because “this summit will be different from previous ones.”...

<description><![CDATA[ One of Prague’s best-known summer events is set to return to Kampa this July, bringing together French food, wine, music and culture in the heart of the city. From July 14 to 19, Kampa will once again host the annual French Market, bringing six days of regional food, wine, music and cultural events to the heart of Malá Strana.. Now in its nineteenth edition, the event will feature producers and vendors from across France, offering regional specialties ranging from seafood and cured meats to baked goods and sparkling wines. Organizers say this year’s program will place a particular focus on guest appearances and live performances. Among the most anticipated guests is Ferran Sentís Barcia, a finalist in the World Oyster Opening Championship.

<title>Czech Republic Enters Race to Host European AI Gigafactory</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/czech-republic-enters-race-to-host-european-ai-gigafactory</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The Czech Republic has taken a major step toward joining Europe’s growing artificial intelligence infrastructure network after the government approved support for a bid to host a European AI Gigafactory. At its meeting on Monday, the cabinet authorized the Ministry of Industry and Trade to sign a joint procurement agreement with the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, opening the door for Czech partners to compete for one of the EU’s flagship AI projects. The planned AI Gigafactories are intended to provide Europe with powerful computing infrastructure capable of developing, training and operating advanced artificial intelligence models. The facilities would serve as large-scale AI data centers, helping reduce Europe’s dependence on technology and computing resources from outside the continent. Under the proposed model, construction of the Czech facility would be financed by private investors. The state would not directly fund the project but would commit to using part of the computing capacity if the Czech bid is selected. According to the government, this would give public institutions and domestic organizations access to advanced computing resources under favorable financial conditions. Officials argue that hosting an AI Gigafactory could bring benefits beyond technology development. The project could attract substantial private investment, create opportunities for research...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/lidl-launches-summer-terrace-at-pragues-stromovka-park</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Lidl Czech Republic has launched a seasonal outdoor terrace at the Prague Exhibition Grounds in Stromovka, introducing a new concept that combines food, drinks and community events in one location. The temporary venue is situated next to the park’s public grilling area, allowing visitors to purchase ingredients on-site and prepare them at nearby grill stations. The terrace offers a selection of Lidl’s private-label products commonly found in its stores. Visitors can buy snacks, ice cream and barbecue ingredients directly at the venue. Draft Argus beer and non-alcoholic radlers are also available. Customers using the Lidl Plus mobile application can access discounted prices. A small draft beer costs 15 CZK through the app, while a half-liter beer is available for 25 CZK. Lidl said the beer-serving area is clearly marked as restricted to adults, with staff checking identification documents when necessary. A dedicated Bellarom Café section has also been created within the terrace. The café serves espresso, cappuccino, iced coffee and other coffee drinks. Lidl Plus users can take advantage of lower prices on selected beverages. The menu also includes lemonades, iced tea, prosecco and additional refreshments. The company plans to host a range of activities throughout the summer. The program...

<title>From Wenceslas Square to Žižkov: Prague’s Biggest Urban Projects Take Shape</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Across the city, major projects are underway or in the pipeline that promise to make the Czech capital a better place to live. Tram to Wenceslas Square Where else is better to start than Wenceslas Square. It’s laid out by Charles IV in the 14th century, witness to countless historical events, and today a hub of tourism and commerce with some 1,600 companies and hundreds of shops, hotels, and restaurants. Right now, it looks like a construction zone. The reason: a new tram line that will transform both the square and public transport across the city. Along with the tracks, the public space will be restored with new greenery, benches, and a retention tank already built underground to capture rainwater for the newly planted trees. Metro exits will also be redesigned, and the upper part of the square will connect with the lower part, which was already reconstructed in 2023 with new paving, benches, and a fountain designed by Jakub Cigler’s studio. The new line aims to relieve pressure on the congested city center and offer a redundant route when disruptions hit I. P. Pavlova or Ječná Street. It will also provide a missing link to Vinohrady. The New Savarin...

<title>Meet Douglas Kaufman – The Mind Behind Prague’s Board Game Café</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/meet-douglas-kaufman-the-mind-behind-pragues-board-game-cafe</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ With two locations now running in Prague, including its newer space in Palmovka, Bohemia Boards &amp; Brews is entering a new phase focused less on expansion and more on building its role as a social hub. This summer, the board game café is placing renewed focus on both venues and the role they play in the city’s social life. We spoke with founder Douglas Kaufman about how the concept has evolved and why it still resonates today. Bohemia Boards &amp; Brews combines a café, bar, and a library of hundreds of board games, built around the idea of a shared “third place” — somewhere outside home and work where people can meet and spend time together. “The concept of the board game café was just catching on in the US and Canada, spearheaded by Snakes &amp; Lattes in Toronto,” Kaufman says. “It offered a place with a cool vibe and friendly atmosphere, serving food and drinks while giving people a space to play games.” Before this model existed in Prague, he recalls, options were limited and often improvised. “If you wanted to play games and didn’t want to go to someone’s house, you either went to a pub with your...

<description><![CDATA[ Most restaurant guides try to answer the same question: which restaurant is the best? A new Prague-based project called Voutie is taking a different approach. Instead of ranking restaurants as a whole, it focuses on something much more specific: individual dishes. The idea began with a simple conversation at home. One evening, the founder’s wife was craving sushi and asked a familiar question: where can you get really good sushi in Prague? “It made me realize how often I was asking the same thing myself,” the founder says. Whether it is sushi, pizza, kebab, burgers or lasagne, many people are not necessarily looking for the city’s best restaurant overall. They just want to know where to find the best version of the food they feel like eating that day. The concept is straightforward. Each registered user receives one vote per category and can assign it to the restaurant they believe serves the best version of that particular dish. If they later discover a place they like more, they can move their vote. One of the best things about Voutie is that every place on the platform is there because it is someone’s favourite for a specific dish. The goal is...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-approves-return-of-radecky-statue-to-malostranske-namesti</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A monument removed from Prague’s streets more than a century ago could soon return to one of the city’s most historic squares. Prague city councilors have approved plans to bring back the statue of Austrian field marshal Josef Václav Radecký of Radč to Malostranské náměstí in the Lesser Town. The decision also authorizes the city to ask the Ministry of Culture to release the original sculpture, which is currently housed in the Lapidarium of the National Museum. The monument stood in the square from 1858 until 1919, when the newly established Czechoslovak state removed symbols associated with the Habsburg monarchy. Following its dismantling, the statue was transferred to museum storage, while the pedestal was later removed as well. The return project has been discussed for years, supported by the Radecký Society and officials from Prague 1. City representatives now hope the monument can become part of the long-planned redevelopment of Malostranské náměstí, although a completion date for the reconstruction has not yet been announced. Costs are expected to range between 15 million and 30 million Czech crowns. The final amount will depend largely on whether the Ministry of Culture agrees to provide the original artwork. If not, a replica would...

<title>From Seven Hours to 60 Minutes: New Flights Between Prague and the Tatras</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/from-seven-hours-to-60-minutes-new-flights-between-prague-and-the-tatras</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Travel between Prague and the Tatras region in Slovakia will soon be quicker, as a popular low-cost airline is launching a new route connecting the Czech capital with Poprad in northeastern Slovakia. Until now, the only way to travel between these two destinations was by train or coach. Currently, the only air link between Slovakia and Prague has been from Košice Airport, with daily Ryanair flights. Wizz Air plans to launch the new service in late October, with departures on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The flight will take about one hour, making it much faster than the seven-hour train ride or the even longer bus journey. Many people from eastern Slovakia work or study in Prague. Starting in October, they will be able to make the trip for €24.99. With eastern Slovakia now gaining another direct air connection to Prague, people are wondering when a similar route will open between Prague and the Slovak capital. Ryanair recently said they are open to this idea, but need to analyse the data first. The last direct flight between the two capitals operated in 2019. At present, travellers from both Prague and Bratislava can use the flights between the Austrian capital and Prague....

<title>How This School in Prague Rethinks Kindergarten Through Nature and Movement</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/how-this-school-in-prague-rethinks-kindergarten-through-nature-and-movement</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ With its setting on the edge of Klánovický Forest in Prague-East, Unicorn School has developed a private kindergarten environment where early education is closely tied to nature, movement and individual attention. Housed in a family villa with a garden, playground and heated swimming pool, the facility brings together structured preschool learning and a day-to-day rhythm shaped by outdoor experience. The kindergarten and children’s group focus on small learning communities, where children are guided according to their own pace of development rather than a uniform classroom model. Teachers with long-term experience in early childhood education work with an emphasis on stability, trust and close cooperation with parents. A significant part of the programme takes place outside. The proximity of the forest allows for frequent walks, outdoor activities and seasonal learning, which are integrated into the daily schedule rather than treated as occasional excursions. The approach reflects elements of forest kindergarten practice, where direct contact with nature is considered part of the learning process. Inside, Unicorn School combines several educational frameworks. Montessori-inspired principles are used alongside Free Flow Learning and the Good Start Method®. Development is monitored through iSophi® diagnostics, which help adjust activities to individual needs. Early numeracy is introduced through...

<description><![CDATA[ Summer in Prague is traditionally a time for festivals, open-air events, and nightlife venues, all of which attract visitors with special programs. Among them is Roxy, which is kicking off the new season with an expanded lineup of events, new production elements, and confirmed acts for the fall season. The club on Dlouhá Street has been shaping the city’s electronic music scene since 1992, and earlier this year it received the Bass Award for best club in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. This summer, the venue is entering the warmer months with a packed schedule designed for regulars and newcomers alike. Three recurring nights form the backbone of the program. Mainstage Party and Techno Night take over Fridays and Saturdays, while DNB Wednights, held every other Wednesday, bring drum and bass enthusiasts together in the middle of the week. DNB Wednights start at 8 p.m., while the club’s regular Friday and Saturday events begin at 11 p.m. Alongside its regular program, Roxy is preparing a series of themed nights that push the energy even further. Techno [Rave] and Hard Dance editions promise a heavier soundtrack and a different atmosphere for those looking for something beyond the club’s standard format. Music...

<title>EU Plans to Extend Free Roaming to Six More Balkan Countries</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/eu-plans-to-extend-free-roaming-to-six-more-balkan-countries</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Travelers heading to the Western Balkans could eventually use their phones without worrying about extra roaming charges, as the European Union moves forward with plans to expand its roaming zone beyond its current borders. The European Commission is working on a proposal that would bring six Western Balkan countries — Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia — under the same roaming framework currently used across EU member states and participating European countries. If the plan is approved, residents and visitors would be able to make calls, send text messages and use mobile data in those countries under conditions similar to those they already enjoy throughout much of Europe. The process, however, is still at an early stage. While the Commission has expressed support for the expansion, the proposal must first receive approval from EU member states before negotiations can begin. Earlier this year, the Commission asked the Council of the European Union for authorization to open formal talks with the six Western Balkan partners. Once approved, separate agreements would need to be negotiated with each country. According to the Commission, successful negotiations would create the legal framework necessary for the Western Balkans to join the EU...

<title>Coca&#45;Cola Celebrates 55 Years in Czechia with Record Production Levels</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Coca-Cola is marking a major milestone in Czechia this year. The company has been producing its beverages locally for 55 years, growing from a niche product available only to a select few during the communist era into one of the country’s most widely consumed drinks. According to company figures, Coca-Cola’s Czech facilities produced 415.9 million liters of beverages in 2025 alone. When licensed production first began in the country in 1971, annual output stood at around 18.4 million liters. The story of Coca-Cola in Czechia began before local manufacturing existed. Many Czechs first encountered the drink at the end of World War II through American soldiers stationed in Europe. During the communist period, however, access remained limited. Bottles were mainly sold through Tuzex stores, which specialized in foreign goods, or in hotels catering to foreign visitors. A turning point came in 1971, when licensed production using the original Coca-Cola concentrate was launched in Modřice, near Brno. That move established the foundations for what would eventually become one of the company’s key operations in Central Europe. Another important chapter followed after the fall of communism. In 1993, Coca-Cola opened a production facility in Prague’s Kyje district, which has since become the...

HE DONT NEED NO PIANO. He CAN sing! ?&quot; said one.&quot;My guy gotta temper and we&#039;re here for it,&quot; another said.&quot;Rockstars break instruments on stage all the time. Smashing guitars and stuff. Go off, Morgan! ??﻿&quot; one pointed out.&quot;The guy was pissed his piano didn&#039;t work for a show people paid to see ? Pretty reasonable reaction if you ask me,&quot; one fan reasoned.But many were shocked at the ﻿behaviour the singer exhibited.&quot;Grown professional if you can believe it,&quot; said one.&quot;He&#039;s still the problem ?&quot; added another, riffing on the name of the tour.&quot;Something my toddler would do ? Poor baby&quot; one shared.&quot;I love his music but come on. Glad he didn&#039;t hit anyone with it. Geez, that&#039;s professional and mature ?&quot; another fan pointed out.This is not the first time Wallen has destroyed property.Two years ago, the singer was arrested after throwing a chair off a bar rooftop in Nashville.He faced ﻿three felony counts of reckless endangerment and one misdemeanour count of disorderly conduct, but he pled guilty to two misdemeanour counts of reckless endangerment, which led to him serving seven days in a DUI centre.He paid a $350 fine and was given two years of probation.He had reportedly been upset about his ex Katie &quot;KT&quot; Smith&#039;s elopement marriage to content creator Luke Scornavacco.Wallen and Smith dated from 2016 to 2017, and got engaged.They called off the engagement in 2018, broke up in 2019, but then welcomed their son Indigo in July 2020.After the incident, he made a public statement which read, &quot;I didn&#039;t feel right publicly checking in until I made amends with some folks.&quot;I&#039;ve touched base with Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the good people at Chief&#039;s. I&#039;m not proud of my behaviour, and I accept responsibility.&quot;Wallen started his music career when he competed on The Voice in 2014, though he was eliminated in the playoffs.He has since been nominated for two Grammys and has recently won Best Male Country Artist at the 2026 American Music Awards. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie&#039;s eldest son has made a major public decision to distance himself from his famous father.Maddox Jolie-Pitt, 24, has officially filed legal paperwork to remove &quot;Pitt&quot; from his surname, according to court documents obtained by E! News.If approved, he will officially be known as Maddox Chivan Jolie.The step comes after the filmmaker quietly dropped Pitt from his professional name earlier this year while working on his mother&#039;s upcoming film, Couture, where he was credited as &quot;Maddox Jolie&quot;.Maddox is the eldest of the six children shared by Pitt and Jolie, his siblings are Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne.Affectionately known as Brangelina, the couple met in 2004 on the set of the film Mr. &amp; Mrs. Smith.and share Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and VivienneBy the time the film was released in 2005, Pitt had left Jennifer Aniston to be with Jolie, who had adopted Maddox from a Cambodian orphanage in 2002, when he was seven months old.READ MORE: John Farnham confirms he will never sing in public again﻿READ MORE: &#039;90s icon makes first return to red carpet in 11 years﻿READ MORE: Star reveals the secret behind her A-list relationshipThe couple married in 2014 at their French chateau, before separating in 2016 following an incident on a private jet as it was ferrying the family from Europe to the US.Their divorce was finalised in December 2024, following disputes over custody of the children and property, including the French chateau.Maddox is not the only one of the former couple&#039;s children to publicly distance himself from the Pitt surname, despite its star power. Last year, daughter Shiloh successfully petitioned a court to legally remove Pitt from her last name shortly after turning 18.Meanwhile, Zahara introduced herself as Zahara Marley Jolie during a sorority event in 2023, while younger sister Vivienne was credited as &quot;Vivienne Jolie&quot; in the Playbill for the Broadway musical The Outsiders.Brad Pitt is said to be &quot;hurt&quot; by his children&#039;s decisions to drop his last name, with a source saying the news has been &quot;very difficult.&quot;&quot;[Brad&#039;s] biggest fear is to be permanently disconnected from the kids because he does want to find a way to make things right,&quot; an insider explained to US Weekly. &quot;His biggest fear is that too much time is going by and the more time without something happening, the harder it will be to reconcile.&quot;In the years since the couple&#039;s divorce, details have emerged about their family life. Pax, whom Jolie adopted in 2007 from Vietnam before Pitt formally adopted him a year later, was first to speak out. Taking to social media in 2020, he wrote a scorching post on Instagram to mark Father&#039;s Day in the US, in which he referred to Pitt as a &quot;world-class a---hole&quot; and a &quot;despicable human being&quot;.He also claimed Pitt&#039;s four youngest children &quot;tremble in fear when in your presence&quot;.All of the children are now reportedly estranged from their dad, who is expected to lose any remaining custody rights when Vivienne and Knox turn 18 in July.While neither Pitt nor Jolie has publicly commented on Maddox&#039;s filing, the actor previously admitted he struggled following the breakdown of his family.In a 2017 interview with GQ, Pitt said the divorce forced him to reflect on the kind of father he wanted to be.&quot;I have to be more for them. I have to show them,&quot; he said at the time.&quot;And I haven&#039;t been great at it.&quot; ]]></description>

She will be remembered for her loving generosity, fierce opinions, endless curiosity, unique style, and her powdered, almond, crescent cookies at Christmas, hence her name, Auntie Cookie.&quot;Kelly always signed off any message or fare thee well with a Hungarian blessing…Isten Veled, God is with you.

<title>Egos and insults: Famous actors like Julia Roberts and Nicolas Cage who will never work with these directors again</title>

<description><![CDATA[ A great Hollywood partnership can make movie magic, but sometimes directors and their stars simply do not get along.With ego, processes and stressful filming situations to contend with, it&#039;s no wonder some stars walk away with horror stories or feuds.In May 2026, Nicolas Cage namedropped not one, not even two, but three directors ﻿he doubted he&#039;d ever work with after he (accidentally) hurt their feelings.After that juicy morsel, we&#039;ve done a deep dive into other movie stars and directors who are not big fans of each other.﻿From on-set altercations to feeling betrayed in the media, there is a lot to unpack.﻿Nicolas Cage and Christopher Nolan, Woody Allen and Paul Thomas Anderson﻿N﻿icolas Cage has an Oscar and well over 100 film credits to his name, but there are a few high-profile directors the acting legend doubts he will ever work with – because he has told them no.Cage, 62, said a group of fellow Oscar winners, including The Odyssey director Christopher Nolan, will not &quot;call [him] back&quot; after he turned down roles in their films.READ MORE: Condition Anne Hathaway secretly battled for a decadeREAD MORE: People can&#039;t finish this history-making movieREAD MORE: Kylie Minogue reveals secret second cancer diagnosis&quot;David O. Russell offered me a movie a million years ago,&quot; Cage told The New York Times.&quot;It was a good movie, and he offered it and I said no, and he&#039;s the only director that I ever said no to who actually came back and offered me another movie.﻿&quot;Most of them, they get their feelings hurt and don&#039;t call you back. It&#039;s happened a million times to me. It&#039;s happened with Christopher Nolan, it&#039;s happened with Woody Allen, it&#039;s happened with Paul Thomas Anderson. They don&#039;t call me back.&quot;Julia Roberts and Steven SpielbergBoth among the most famous and ﻿revered people in their careers, it came as a shock to audiences to learn Julia Roberts and Steven Spielberg clashed on the set of 1991&#039;s Hook.﻿Production was not at a great time for Roberts, whose engagement to Kiefer Sutherland ended during it and led to plenty of added scrutiny.It was also her first experience with CGI and, as Tinkerbell, she spent a lot of time acting alone and waiting for shots to be set up.She made her frustrations about this known, leading to the nickname &quot;Tinkerhell&quot; in the press.Afterwards, ﻿Spielberg acknowledged her &quot;unfortunate time&quot; and said he would not work with her again – which Roberts said hurt her feelings.&quot;﻿People disappoint me. It&#039;s too bad. We did have an enjoyable time, we did actually have moments of great humour on that set,&quot; she told Vanity Fair.George Clooney and David O. RussellWhile Cage was happy to receive a phone call from Silver Linings Playbook director David O. Russell, George Clooney would never say the same.﻿Clooney, 65, famously hated working with Russell, with the pair&#039;s bitter feud beginning on the set of their 1999 film Three Kings.In one infamous on-set moment, Clooney even stepped in to defend ﻿an extra and ended up in a physical fight with the director.The black comedy was critically acclaimed, but ﻿it came at a cost that Clooney would not want to pay again.&quot;The older you get, time allotment is very different. Five months out of your life is a lot,&quot; he said 25 years later ﻿in a 2024 GQ interview.&quot;And so it&#039;s not just like, &#039;Oh, I&#039;m going to go do a really good film, like Three Kings, and I&#039;m going to have a miserable f--- like David O. Russell making my life hell. Making every person in the crew&#039;s life hell.&#039; It&#039;s not worth it. Not at this point in my life,&quot; Clooney said.Florence Pugh and Olivia WildeThe Don&#039;t Worry Darling mess was the gift that kept on giving in ﻿2022, with what felt like an endless stream of news surrounding an alleged on-set conflict between director Olivia Wilde and star Florence Pugh. ]]></description>

<title>A courtside seat at a Knicks game is the hottest ticket in New York – but even A&#45;list stars aren&amp;apos;t guaranteed one</title>

<description><![CDATA[ N﻿ew York City is a world of opportunity, especially if you&#039;re rich and famous.Those with influence can secure a spot at any restaurant, Broadway show or exclusive event in town.But there&#039;s one ticket ﻿even the biggest names aren&#039;t guaranteed.Courtside seats for the New York Knicks are arguably the hottest ticket in town, and it all comes down to the discretion of 71-year-old billionaire James Dolan.﻿Dolan serves as the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Madison Square Garden Sports Corp, which essentially means he owns the Knicks.While many stars and socialites purchase their season tickets (﻿you&#039;re looking at hundreds of thousands of dollars), those who want the coveted courtside seats are at the whim of Dolan.READ MORE:﻿ Venezuela Fury, 16, clarifies huge wedding gift rumourREAD MORE:﻿ Man arrested at 16-year-old Venezeula Fury&#039;s weddingREAD MORE:﻿ Adam Sandler slammed for &#039;embarrassing&#039; display at wife&#039;s premiereThese seats are known as celebrity row; tickets are available by invitation only, and there are two distinct tiers you can be seated in.The &quot;lowercase&quot; celebrity row covers the camera-friendly first few rows of the arena ﻿where actors, athletes, musicians and other VIPs are often given complimentary tickets.The &quot;uppercase&quot; celebrity row is a little more exclusive. There are only about four seats available per game, and ﻿they are reserved for top-tier A-list stars, but the seats come with conditions.First and foremost, you need to be a Knicks fan. ﻿These tickets aren&#039;t just handed out on the basis of celebrity; if you&#039;re not willing to wear orange and blue and get into the game, you&#039;re not welcome on celebrity row.Taylor Swift and her fiancé Travis Kelce recently made headlines around the world for &quot;sittting courtside at a Knicks game&quot;﻿ and have left plenty wondering if they&#039;ll make another appearance.Chances are slim to none.Kelce is a die-hard C﻿leveland Cavaliers fan, and the couple was actually there to support his team against the Knicks. So, it&#039;s basically guaranteed that if they tried to go to a Knicks game now, the answer would be a hard no.Stars such as Ben Stiller, Timothee Chalamet and Tracy Morgan﻿ are proud, public supporters of the Knicks, which is why they&#039;re three of the names you&#039;ll see courtside most often.Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey, Julianne Moore﻿ and Jay-Z are among the other stars you&#039;ll often see make an appearance. But the trick is, the bigger the game, the more exclusive these seats get.And it&#039;s not as simple as securing a seat. Just because you&#039;ve been invited once doesn﻿&#039;t guarantee you&#039;ll be invited back. You have to play along with the rules. ﻿&quot;This is an appearance, you don&#039;t just get to go to the Knicks game,&quot; former Knicks player Iman Shupert said on an episode of the Shump Street podcast.&quot;You don&#039;t get the free tickets for nothing; you better be touchable. Getting out them dabs, we need them autographs, take them pictures with them kids. Sign them basketballs. Yeah, we need that!&quot;Stars are expected to arrive camera-ready, appear on the jumbotron, maybe film some social content, but the key is to appear as though you&#039;re genuinely excited to be there.﻿Back in November 2023, Emily Ratajkowski and Irina Shayk scored seats on uppercase celebrity row, but they left the game early.Ratajakowski later revealed it was a childcare issue that forced the pair to leave before the final buzzer, but it seems, in the eyes of Dolan, ﻿that&#039;s not a good enough excuse.The duo has allegedly been banned from receiving free tickets not just to Knicks games, but also to New York Rangers games, which are also played at MSG. Although they have reportedly been told that they are welcome to purchase tickets at face value.﻿But it&#039;s not just what you do at the game that can get you banned from celebrity row; you&#039;ve got to keep up appearances at all times.Ethan Hawke used to be a courtside regular, but some comments he made on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon put him on the blacklist.&quot;I&#039;ve been a Knicks fan for a long time, but I got kicked out of the Garden. They won&#039;t give me tickets anymore,&quot; Hawke revealed on a 2018 episode of Bill Simmons&#039; podcast.&quot;I was really vocal on some talk shows like this, that I thought it was a huge mistake to let Mike D&#039;Antoni go.&quot;They&#039;d always hook me up, and then I called up one time, and they said, &#039;That&#039;ll be $7,800.&#039; I was like, &#039;Why is this the first time you guys are charging me?&#039;&quot;And they said, &#039;You should have thought of that before you went on the Jimmy Fallon show.&#039;&quot;Stars can help garner favour with Dolan by participating in and donating to MSG&#039;s Garden of Dreams foundation, but it&#039;s not enough alone to secure an invite, and it&#039;s definitely not enough to come back from a ban. ﻿So, next time you see your favourite celeb sat courtside at a Knicks game, look at who they&#039;re surrounded by, because according to James Dolan, that&#039;s the absolute cream of the crop. ﻿ ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Christine Taylor has shared a rare insight into how she and her husband Ben Stiller rebuilt their marriage after their five-year split. The actress, who separated from the Zoolander actor in 2017 after 17 years of marriage, said the decision to split was one of the hardest either of them had ever made.&quot;I can talk about it now, but in the moment, it was very difficult to come to that decision,&quot; Taylor said on the McBride Rewind podcast.Watch the video above. ﻿&quot;It was not light. It was not without a heavy heart.&quot;The couple, who share daughter Ella, 24, and son Quinlin, 20, announced their separation nearly a decade ago, but continued to co-parent and spend time together as a family.Taylor said their turning point came during the COVID-19 pandemic when they found themselves under the same roof again.&quot;If there&#039;s a silver lining for us during COVID, that was the little gift,&quot; she said.READ MORE: John Farnham confirms he will never sing in public again﻿READ MORE: &#039;90s icon makes first return to red carpet in 11 years﻿READ MORE: Star reveals the secret behind her A-list relationship&quot;We all kind of bubbled up together with our kids.&quot;During lockdown, Taylor said she and Stiller finally had the time to focus on their relationship.&quot;So Ben and I spent a lot of time just working on us with a therapist and we&#039;d log into Zoom and we&#039;d do our therapy sessions and really found the way back,&quot; she explained.Stiller and Taylor first met in 1999 when she was asked to audition for a TV pilot Stiller was directing called Heat Vision and Jack. They got married the following year. Over the past two decades, they have appeared together in a string of projects including Zoolander, Dodgeball and Arrested Development.The two were considered one of the tightest couples in Hollywood before announcing their shock split.The actress said separation can often feel like a personal failure, which is why she is so open about the difficult time. &quot;I think it&#039;s something people don&#039;t love to talk about because it feels like a failure,&quot; she said.Instead, Taylor believes taking time apart ultimately strengthened their marriage.&quot;We came out of it and have been really stronger and better than ever.&quot;In 2022, Stiller revealed the pair had rekindled their relationship, telling Esquire, &quot;We were separated and got back together and we&#039;re happy about that. It&#039;s been really wonderful for all of us.&quot;Unexpected, and one of the things that came out of the pandemic. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant are one of Hollywood&#039;s most notoriously private couples, but the artist has now offered a rare glimpse inside their seven-year relationship.According to Grant, mutual respect is key for the pair, who have been romantically involved since 2019.The 53-year-old artist has revealed how the two navigate their creative careers while living together, particularly when Reeves is immersed in one of his roles.&quot;I&#039;ve lived with John Wick, I&#039;ve lived with Neo,&quot; Grant told People.Reeves, 61, is best known for portraying the assassin John Wick and Neo in The Matrix films.&quot;When he&#039;s in a character, for example, I have so much respect for that understanding that this is the middle to the end of a project, right? And I think the same goes for painting,&quot; Grant said. The artist explained that both she and the action star understand the importance of giving each other space while working on creative projects.R﻿EAD MORE: Deborra-lee Furness resurfaces in rare photo after Jackman splitREAD MORE: John Farnham confirms he will never sing in public again﻿READ MORE: &#039;90s icon makes first return to red carpet in 11 years﻿&quot;He&#039;s always so appreciative, so he&#039;s always cautious, I think, with feedback, and I would say the same,&quot; she said.Grant added that while they can discuss ideas endlessly, they also recognise when the other person needs time alone to focus.&quot;The key to it is the mutual respect,&quot; she said.&quot;Also, come on, it&#039;s play, right? It&#039;s play that we get to play creatively.&quot;Grant and Reeves first met more than a decade ago, working together on the books Ode to Happiness and Shadows before launching a publishing house together. Reeves was the writer behind the work and Grant did the illustrations.The couple first made their relationship public in November 2019 when they made their red carpet debut at the LACMA Art + Film Gala.Despite their high-profile jobs, both have largely kept their relationship out of the spotlight.In 2023, Reeves gushed about sharing a moment of &quot;bliss&quot; with Grant while previously talking to People and called her &quot;my honey&quot;.&quot;We were in bed. We were connected,&quot; he said.&quot;We were smiling and laughing and giggling. Feeling great. It was just really nice to be together.&quot; ]]></description>

Her performance was met with overwhelming love and support online.Mortimer is not the first person to cop backlash for his rendition of the national anthem at a State of Origin game.﻿In 2024, Australian Idol winner Dylan Wright also faced criticism after performing the anthem with an acoustic guitar, turning it into a pop rendition that left a bad taste in viewers&#039; mouths.&quot;Dylan Wright butchering the national anthem. Love your voice mate, but just sing it properly so we can sing along! Stick to the damn timing and melody,&quot; fellow Aussie signer Ash Archer said at the time.&quot;Rate Dylan Wright but that was not it,&quot; another fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ F﻿or more than 40 years, Nicolas Cage has gone by the stage name of, well, Nicolas Cage.But after decades, the acting icon, born Nicolas Kim Coppola, revealed he legally changed his last name to Cage just last year.﻿&quot;I&#039;m Nic Cage in life, and I&#039;m Nic Cage on camera,&quot; he told Variety.Cage was born into Hollywood&#039;s famous Coppola family. His uncle is five-time Oscar-winning director Francis Ford Coppola and his daughter, Sofia Coppola, also an Oscar-winner, is Cage&#039;s cousin.&quot;&#039;Tis better to be the patriarch of my own little family than the clown cousin on the margins of someone else&#039;s, so I decided I&#039;m going to bring it on and be &#039;Cage&#039;,&quot; he said.Cage used his birth name only twice in his acting career, in 1﻿981 television pilot The Best of Times and 1982 film Fast Times at Ridgemont High.He then changed his last name to ﻿avoid claims of nepotism, taking his stage name from Marvel comic book superhero Luke Cage and American composer John Cage.READ MORE: John Farnham confirms he will never sing in public again﻿READ MORE: New brush with skin cancer leaves Hughesy with 45 stitches﻿READ MORE: Gayle King reveals moment she caught husband having an affair﻿&quot;&#039;Cage&#039; is a name that I liked coming across in the comics – I just thought he had a cool name – and I grew up in a very avant-garde, artsy family and there was talk about John Cage and the experimental compositions that he did,&quot; Cage said.&quot;I was looking for something like &#039;James Dean&#039;, I was looking for something short and sweet.&quot;I thought, I&#039;ll keep the name &#039;Nicolas&#039; because my father named me Nicolas – with French spelling, which has always frustrated me, because everyone adds an &#039;h&#039;. I don&#039;t know why he gave me the French spelling! But he did.&quot;Cage also said he did not mind if people called him Nicolas or shortened it to Nic.﻿&quot;I&#039;m both! I think people know me as both,&quot; he said.The actor had previously said his decision to change his last name came after being teased on the set of ﻿Fast Times at Ridgemont High in 1982.&quot;I was still Nicholas Coppola and people would not stop saying things like, &#039;I love the smell of Nicholas in the morning&#039; because of [Francis Ford Coppola film] Apocalypse Now and Robert Duvall saying &#039;I love the smell of napalm in the morning.&#039;&quot;It made it hard to work, and I decided I don&#039;t need this so I changed it to Cage.&quot; ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Dame H﻿elen Mirren, 80, has spoken out amid rumours that her MobLand co-star Tom Hardy, 48, was fired because of tension on set.But it appears there&#039;s no bad blood, at least between Mirren and Hardy, after the ﻿Oscar-winning actress shared a photo of Hardy on her Instagram account with the text reading: &quot;Love you now and always, Helen.&quot;Mirren&#039;s post comes after ﻿a slew of reports of Hardy feuding with co-stars, showing up late to set, rewriting scripts and disrespecting producers.Crime series MobLand, which stars Mirren, Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Guy Ritchie, tells the story of a warring London crime family.Despite it&#039;s success on ParamountPlus, the show has been riddled with controversy with Puck initially reporting Hardy had been let go by production after the completion of season two, which is yet to air.A statement published by THR claimed that Hardy &quot;refused to come out of his trailer for hours at a time&quot;.﻿However, according to Variety, Hard was &quot;not fired&quot; and &quot;the door is not closed for season three and things are being worked through creatively&quot;.READ MORE: ﻿John Farnham confirms he will never sing in public againREAD MORE: Nicolas Cage reveals he legally changed his name﻿READ MORE: Gayle King reveals moment she caught husband having an affair﻿https://www.instagram.com/p/DY5OCaooXMr/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ampA Variety source also claimed that Mirren had become &quot;frustrated&quot; by Hardy&#039;s alleged tardiness﻿.&quot;I know she&#039;s said to him a couple of times, &#039;Come on, Tom, we&#039;ve been here for ages, let&#039;s get on with it,&#039; but she&#039;s never appeared to be anti-Tom,&quot; the source told the outlet.﻿There&#039;s clearly no animosity between the co-stars with Mirren coming out in support of Hardy more than once.In December 2025, Mirren posted another picture of Hardy.This time the text read: &quot;Things I love: 1. Christmas for obvious reasons. 2. Tom Hardy for his brilliance onscreen, his dedication off screen his good heart and especially the HardyHugs I get when onset with him which is not nearly enough in my opinion.&quot;In the same post, Mirren went on to cheekily list the things she &quot;hate&quot; including root vegetables and bad journalism. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Just earlier this month, her ex-husband ﻿Hugh Jackman made his Met Gala debut with his new girlfriend, actress Sutton Foster.And this week, Australian actress Deborra-Lee Furness, 70, who has been keeping a low profile since their split, resurfaced in a snap with iconic designer, Donna Karan.The designer shared a snap of herself with Furness on Instagram, gushing about her pals as they posed in front of the New York City skyline.﻿&quot;Two amazing blondes from OZ now living in NYC with one brunette from NYC,&quot; her post was captioned.&quot;From north to south east to west, New York is the world!&quot;In the image, Furness looked chic in a black shirt and with her bright blonde locks neatly styled, as Karan pouted and flashed the &#039;ok&#039; hand symbol.﻿READ MORE: John Farnham confirms he will never sing in public again﻿READ MORE: New brush with skin cancer leaves Hughesy with 45 stitches﻿READ MORE: Gayle King reveals moment she caught husband having an affair﻿Just weeks ago, at the Met Gala held in the Big Apple on May 4, Wolverine star Jackman, 57, and new girlfriend Sutton Foster made their big Met Gala debut. ﻿The have posted on red carpets together before, but this was the first time at the exclusive event. ﻿In years past, before their split, Shame star Furness was often seen at the event with Jackman.﻿Furness and Jackman announced their split in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage.﻿They finalised their divorce in June 2025, according to reports. ﻿Correlli actress Furness previously shared a powerful statement, after filing for divorce, saying she &quot;remains grateful,&quot; but has been navigating &quot;the traumatic journey of betrayal﻿&quot;.In a statement shared with Nine, Furness said: &quot;My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal.&quot;It&#039;s a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us.&quot;﻿&quot;This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose.&quot;It is so easy to get lost in looking for love and validation outside ourselves, but that&#039;s not where it lives – it lives within. Sometimes the universe has to create arduous circumstances for us to walk through in order to find our way home, back to our true essence and the sovereignty of self love.&quot;She went on to say she has found &quot;liberation and freedom&quot; post-split and is &quot;grateful&quot; for her life path.﻿ ]]></description>

Hague wanted to &quot;be there for the family and just show up&quot;.She revealed she was under fire for her outfit and for wearing black to a wedding, while not thinking twice about the photos being taken.﻿&quot;I did have a bit of a spiral yesterday morning... I should have thought there&#039;s probably going to be pictures and videos that will come out.&quot;But at the time, she was just thinking about Fury and Price on their big day.&quot;Also, since when is it not acceptable to wear black to a wedding?&quot; Hague came to defence of herself.&quot;Because I genuinely never thought that, guys.

<description><![CDATA[ H﻿ayden Panettiere was walking through an airport when she saw a headline that felt like she had been &#039;stabbed in the heart&#039;.Panettiere, 36, described the moment she saw a magazine headline that read, &quot;Why Hayden Panettiere gave up her daughter&quot;, after she relinquished full custody of her now 11-year-old child, Kaya, to her ex-fiancé Wladimir Klitschko, 50.At an event to discuss her memoir This Is Me: A Reckoning, the Nashville star said: &quot;You might as well have taken a knife and stabbed me in the heart.&quot;&quot;If anyone knew me, they [would] know that I would do absolutely anything for my daughter,&quot; she said, Page Six reported.&quot;And sometimes that means not what you want as a mum or what&#039;s going to make you feel good as a parent, but what&#039;s best for them.&quot;﻿Panettiere explained she was &quot;so guilt-ridden&quot; about being &quot;completely incapable&quot; of caring for her daughter amid her struggles with mental health and addiction.&quot;The worst thing that somebody said to me is that it was a personal choice that I was making,&quot; she said.READ MORE: Victoria Beckham says she&#039;s &#039;proud&#039; of son Brooklyn﻿READ MORE: Gayle King reveals moment she caught husband having an affair﻿READ MORE: Matthew Perry&#039;s assistant sentenced to 41 months jail&quot;Who would choose to feel like this?

I felt so guilt ridden that I was incapable of doing it.&quot;Panettiere had previously opened up about her postpartum depression and struggles with addiction following a traumatic birth experience in 2014 during which she nearly died.She signed over full custody to her ex, a former professional boxer, in 2018, and frequently visits Kaya in Ukraine.&quot;I don&#039;t want her ever to read it and think any of it was her fault,&quot; Panettiere said of what she hoped her daughter would come to understand about her book, People reported.&quot;I love her so dearly. [It&#039;s a lot for an] 11-year-old to process that. I&#039;ll continue protecting her, especially while she&#039;s young.&quot; ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Australian music legend Barry Gibb is alive and well, despite a viral Facebook page suggesting he had died.The Bee Gees singer was the subject of a new page titled R.I.P. Barry Gibb, which quickly amassed 1 million followers after it popped up on Sunday.Burt fans don&#039;t need to worry about 79-year-old musician, with his family confirming he&#039;s fine right now. Gibb, the last living member of the musical group, is ﻿&quot;healthy, happy, and living life&quot; in Miami, his family reportedly told TMZ.The page appears to have since been deleted but is understood to have contained a lengthy but entirely false story of the singer&#039;s death.﻿It&#039;s the latest celebrity death hoax﻿, with the online trend previously targeting the likes of Justin Bieber, Queen Latifah, Seth Rogan, Tom Hanks and Michael J. Fox.Barry rose to worldwide fame in the late &#039;60s alongside his younger brothers, twins Robin and Maurice Gibb.﻿READ MORE: Adam Sandler slammed for &#039;embarrassing&#039; moveR﻿EAD MORE: Emily in Paris star dies at 69 after health battleREAD MORE: Victoria Beckham makes rare comment about sonThey went on to sell hundreds of millions of records and had hit songs including How Deep Is Your Love, Night Fever and Stayin&#039; Alive.﻿Maurice died in January 2003, aged 53, after going into cardiac arrest after complications from surgery for a twisted intestine.Robin tied in May 2012, aged 62, from liver and kidney failure after a long battle with colorectal cancer.The now 79-year-old spoke about the &quot;emotionally crippling&quot; effects he&#039;s felt since losing his brothers ﻿- especially their youngest brother, solo popstar Andy Gibb, who died aged 30.&quot;After losing Andy, that was crippling emotionally for all of us, for the whole family, and it wasn&#039;t something you could understand, that someone could be there and gone in two days,&quot; Gibb said on Piers Morgan&#039;s Life Stories in 2017.&quot;I think he knew maybe for a few weeks that something was wrong and then it became very sudden.&quot;Gibb has also previously said in interviews that he doesn&#039;t understand how he, as the oldest brother, is the &quot;last man standing&quot;.﻿ ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The missing husband of Katie Price, Lee Andrews, is reportedly not being hunted by international police as the mystery of his apparent disappearance continues.Rumours surrounding his disappearance in Dubai have ranged from ﻿kidnapping to an international arrest warrant, but so far no one has seen him since May 13.This week, a source told UK media outlet The Mirror that Interpol – the world&#039;s largest international police organisation – are not looking for ﻿Andrews.The alleged conman has been missing for 11 days, with his father claiming he had been arrested by authorities in the United Arab Emirates earlier this week.Price said she filed a missing person&#039;s report for her husband with the local authorities, Hertfordshire Police.However, local authorities confirmed today that if any arrest was made ﻿in Dubai was not related to the police report made to them.&quot;We&#039;d like to clarify that Hertfordshire Constabulary received a report in March, however, once it was established that the alleged offences happened in Dubai, we referred this case to the relevant authorities as this was outside of our jurisdiction,&quot; a spokesperson for Hertfordshire Police told the publication.READ MORE: Taylor Swift skips 2026 AMAs despite most nominationsREAD MORE: Star hits back at trolls who labelled her &#039;old and decrepit&#039;READ MORE: Richard Gere&#039;s son makes jaw-dropping acting debutPrice first revealed her husband was ﻿missing after he skipped their joint appearance on Good Morning Britain after failing to board his flight.Later, Price claimed that she received a FaceTime call from Andrews, where ﻿he had been shoved into the back of a van while his hands had been &quot;cable tied.&quot;She shared images of his texts to her, with one reading &quot;Been arrested, I&#039;ll be in touch.&quot;The former glamour model also said that her husband&#039;s &quot;kidnappers&quot; had taken two phones away from Andrews, with him using a secret third phone to message her.﻿Since then, his father has claimed Andrews was actually arrested, while Price is convinced that he&#039;s been kidnapped.&quot;Lee is OK. He has not been kidnapped, but he is under arrest,&quot; he told the Daily Mail.He went on to tell the publication that he doesn&#039;t know on what charge his son is being held, nor where h﻿e is being held, but that he is expecting a call from Lee, 43, soon.Dubai Police chief Brigadier Khalid Khalifa al Avadhi also told the outlet that there are many cases against Lee.However, Price took to social media to say &quot;this is fake news&quot;.&quot;Lee is still missing. Me and his family know what&#039;s going on and working with the authorities involved.&quot;Since then, the whirlwind updates have unfolded, with the mum-of-five documenting her concerns on podcasts, YouTube videos, and social media posts as she attempted to make contact with her husband.The couple&#039;s marriage itself has caused concern, with the pair wed just weeks after they met, and one day after they got engaged in January 2026.﻿It closely followed her split from boyfriend JJ Slater just weeks earlier.The ﻿reality star has been married three times before.She was first married to singer Peter Andre, 53, from 2005 to 2009, cage fighter Alex Reid, 50, from 2010 to 2012, and stripper Kieran Hayler, 39, from 2013 to 2021.﻿﻿ ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Ros﻿ie O&#039;Donnell spent decades &quot;morally&quot; opposed to facelifts, deciding she would never, ever get one – but then she did.The 64-year-old comedian revealed she underwent a secret facelift in January, writing a poem called Decisions on her Substack that spoke to her complicated feelings about going under the knife.&quot;It cost more money than I have ever paid for a car,&quot; O&#039;Donnell wrote.&quot;My privileged place in the world,&quot; she said.&quot;And that feels almost shameful to me. ﻿The things I have – earned some say, but it&#039;s the gross excess that wounds me.&quot;﻿O&#039;Donnell said she used to consider facelifts to be &quot;a betrayal&quot;.&quot;Of feminism. Of ageing. Of our team of women worldwide.

<description><![CDATA[ Spolier alert: Contains spoilers for Euphoria&#039;s season three penultimate episode.Jacob Elordi has spoken out on the gruesome death of his character Nate Jacobs on Euphoria season three.While fans are left in shock over his character&#039;s ending, the Aussie actor, 28, has shared some surprising comments on the way his character died.In the show, Nate Jacobs dies in a coffin as a rattlesnake crawls in through a small hole; and to film the scene, Elordi actually filmed with a real snake (but not a venomous rattlesnake).﻿While that might scare some, that didn&#039;t deter the actor, who hails from Brisbane.﻿&quot;That&#039;s a cool way to go,&quot; he shared in a behind the scenes clip shared by HBO on YouTube.&quot;I had to go into this coffin. My shoulders were touching the side, and I couldn&#039;t move my arms, and then they would drill the lid on, and it would get dark,&quot; he said.READ MORE: ARN, Nine join forces to launch new Karl and Eddie showREAD MORE: Actor addresses rumour that&#039;s plagued him for yearsREAD MORE: Comedian lucky to be alive after horror accidenthttps://www.instagram.com/p/DYvqERdAXRF/&quot;It was really nice, actually. It was quite peaceful in there,&quot; he added.He said the snake was actually a boa constrictor which they put a rattle snake tail on.&quot;He was super cute. He was, like, real cuddly, so he just saddled up next to me, and it was nice,&quot; Elordi remarked.&quot;But he was real sleepy... I had to kind of nudge him to get him to come up.&quot;Elordi has been on the hit show, which also stars the likes of Zendaya, Hunter Schafer and Sydney Sweeney, since season one back in 2019.Season three is the final season of the hit show.﻿﻿The show sure helped put him on the map in Hollywood, as around the same time he starred in the rom-com film series, The Kissing Booth.More recently, Elordi&#039;s worked his way to A-lister status thanks to films including Frankenstein, Priscilla and Wuthering Heights, which he starred in opposite Aussie star Margot Robbie.He&#039;s recently been linked to American model Kendall Jenner, with the pair now believed to be dating.﻿ ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Scarlett Johansson may be the highest-paid actress of 2025, but she&#039;s the first to admit she&#039;s not a perfect parent.The Avengers star and mum-of-two, 41, spoke candidly about juggling work and motherhood on CBS Sunday Mornings.&quot;I think actually admitting that there is no work-life balance is the first step to kind of getting there in a way, because it&#039;s just not possible,&quot; said the two-time Oscar nominee.Watch the video above.﻿Johansson shares daughter Rose with ex-husband and French journalist Romain Dauriac. She shares son Cosmo with husband and Saturday Night Live comedian Colin Jost.She said success looks different to her as a parent then in her career.&quot;Somebody once told me, &#039;If you&#039;re successful as a parent like 75 per cent of the time, that&#039;s good&#039; – if you&#039;re doing 75 per cent of it like right, then you&#039;re winning, which is probably true,&quot; she told host ﻿Jane Pauley on the show.READ MORE:﻿ Rock legend declines Hall of Fame gig over health concernsREAD MORE:﻿ Rockstar comes out as &#039;proudly gay&#039;, wife of 14 years speaks outREAD MORE: Kylie Minogue reveals secret second cancer diagnosisThe Jurassic World Rebirth ﻿star then said even as parent &quot;you&#039;re not always the most popular&quot;.﻿&quot;And that&#039;s OK. It&#039;s not about popularity,&quot; she laughed.With three films in the works and a new skin care range, Johansson said she&#039;s learned to be &quot;more kind&quot; to herself.She&#039;s realised you can&#039;t do everything nor control everything all the time – being &quot;good enough&quot; is just as fine.She said when she realised she can&#039;t control everything, she &quot;found that to be liberating&quot;.Johansson and Jost met in 2006 – she was a guest host on Saturday Night Live (SNL), where he was a writer.They however didn&#039;t get to know each other properly until May 2017, months after ﻿her split from her second husband and father of her daughter, Romain Dauriac.Johansson and Jost confirmed their relationship by the end of 2017, eventually announcing their engagement in May 2019.The actress and SNL comedian tied the knot a year later and welcomed their son Cosmo together in August 2021.&quot;I feel very fortunate that I&#039;ve been able to take this time to really enjoy the early stages of my motherhood with our son,&quot; she shared with Entertainment Tonight at the time.&quot;It&#039;s been wonderful. I&#039;m in a baby bliss bubble.&quot; ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ D﻿espite being the most nominated artist at this year&#039;s American Music Awards, Taylor Swift will not be in attendance.While some fans thought she may have just skipped the red carpet, People has confirmed the Fate of Ophelia singer won&#039;t be attending the awards ceremony.This is despite the fact ﻿Swift, 36, is nominated for eight awards this year for her album The Life of a Showgirl. One can only assume she&#039;s too busy planning a wedding!Watch the video above.﻿With 40 AMAs under her belt, the singer is already the most awarded artist in the award show&#039;s history, beating Michael Jackson (who won 26) and Whitney Houston (22).The singer has been spotted out and about in New York City with her fiancé, Travis Kelce, over the past few weeks.Meanwhile, the AMAs are held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.READ MORE:﻿ Rock legend declines Hall of Fame gig over health concernsREAD MORE:﻿ Rockstar comes out as &#039;proudly gay&#039;, wife of 14 years speaks outREAD MORE: Kylie Minogue reveals secret second cancer diagnosisSwift is rumoured to be getting married in New York in July, but the singer also has a busy schedule ahead of her big day.Just two days ago, Swift and Kelce were spotted at a New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Game at Rocket Arena﻿, New York.On June 11, the performer will be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in New York City.There, she will make history as the youngest woman to ever be inducted into the organisation. ﻿Just a few weeks later, she is expected to tie the knot in a private, yet supposedly massive, wedding ceremony in the Big Apple.The guest list is reported to include stars like Ed Sheeran, Zoe Kravitz and Gigi Hadid.﻿Aside from planning a wedding and making history once again, the singer has had a whirlwind 12 months.She wrapped up her record-breaking Eras Tour and released her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl. ﻿The album unsurprisingly shattered records, with the best first-week album sales in modern history.Two months later, Swift released a docu-series about her historic Eras Tour, called ﻿Taylor Swift: The End of an Era, on Disney+.She also dropped a concert film, Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The Final Show in the same week.The star is so busy, it&#039;s not surprising she decided to skip the AMAs. ]]></description>

<title>&amp;apos;Hell will freeze over:&amp;apos; Rebekah Vardy&amp;apos;s comment on whether she owes Coleen Rooney an apology</title>

<description><![CDATA[ R﻿ebekah Vardy said &quot;hell will freeze over&quot; before she ever apologises to Coleen Rooney following their Wagatha Christie feud.Vardy, 44, has continued to claim she&#039;s innocent in the online beef turned legal battle, which started when ﻿Rooney, 40, accused Vardy&#039;s Instagram account of leaking &#039;false stories&#039; about her to the press in a now infamous social media post.Vardy has always denied the allegations, taking it as far as suing Rooney for ﻿libel, a type of defamation, in a UK court.Despite losing the court case and being ordered to pay Rooney&#039;s legal fees amounting to £1.5 million ($2.8 million), Vardy told The Sun that &quot;hell will freeze over&quot; before she apologises to her former friend.&quot;I&#039;m never going to apologise for something I didn&#039;t do. Hell will freeze over before I do that. I&#039;m living with the judgment the judge made but, still to this day, I believe she was wrong,&quot; she told the publication. Her husband, footballer Jamie Vardy﻿, also rushed to her defence, saying: &#039;People thinking that Bex was a villain, it&#039;s just a load of s--t but everyone close to her knows, that&#039;s all she needs.&quot;It was really tough seeing Bex in pain.&quot;READ MORE: Comedian lucky to be alive after horror accidentREAD MORE: Actor dies at 45 amid homicide investigationREAD MORE: Backlash that nearly ended Kylie Minogue&#039;s careerVardy went on to say she was &quot;f---ing bored&quot; of the beef, adding she had &quot;no negative feelings&quot; towards Rooney.&quot;&#039;I&#039;ve got no idea what [Coleen] thinks of me, but I&#039;m not bothered.&quot;﻿The now-infamous feud started when Rooney suspected someone in her life was leaking stories about her to the press﻿.She decided to conduct her own investigation into the leak, blocking everyone from her story besides Vardy before posting a series ﻿of fake stories to her Instagram account.When these fake stories appeared on the front page of The Sun with an exclusive tag, Rooney concluded that Vardy was the leak.However, instead of privately addressing it, Rooney took to Twitter (now X) to air out the beef, writing a thread about her investigation.&quot;For a few years now, someone who I trusted to follow me on my personal Instagram account has been consistently informing The SUN newspaper of my private posts and stories,&quot; the post started.&quot;There has been so much information given to them about me, my friends and my family – all without my permission or knowledge.&quot;She went on to say she had &quot;a suspicion&quot; on who is was due to &quot;various reasons,&quot; and went on to explain what she did to figure it out. ﻿&quot;Over the past five months, I have posted a series of false stories to see if they made their way into the Sun newspaper.&quot;And you know what, they did! The story about gender selection in Mexico, the story about returning to TV and then the latest story about the basement flooding in my new house.&quot;She completed the post with the now infamous line.﻿&quot;I have saved and screenshotted all the original stories which clearly show just one person has viewed them.&quot;&quot;It&#039;s ..........Rebekah Vardy&#039;s account.&quot;The post went viral, with people online dubbing Rooney as &quot;Wagatha Christie,&quot; playing on the fact that Rooney and Vardy are both self-proclaimed&quot;WAGS&quot; (Wives and Girlfriends) of footy stars. ﻿ ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ S﻿hakira has given rare comment on her high profile split from Gerard Piqué, describing it as the &quot;darkest moment&quot; of her life.The hitmaker, 49, ﻿has opted to keep the details of the separation largely private since she and the former Barcelona footballer called it quits in 2022.But she&#039;s now detailed the moment the family she&#039;d &quot;dreamt&quot; of fell apart – which had been compounded by her father&#039;s ill health at the time.Speaking to The Times, she spoke of how she was﻿ &quot;[living through] the darkest moment – when I saw the dissolution of my family. The family that I had dreamt to keep forever.&quot;The moment was made all the more difficult by the fact that her father, William Mebarak, had been in the hospital and seriously ill after a severe fall at the time.And although she was candid about the difficulty of this period, she claimed she eventually emerged from it &quot;stronger.&quot;&quot;I&#039;ve been through so much pain, but it has made me perhaps in an unforeseen way a wiser person – or stronger, at least...&quot;READ MORE: Comedian lucky to be alive after horror accidentREAD MORE: Actor dies at 45 amid homicide investigationREAD MORE: Backlash that nearly ended Kylie Minogue&#039;s career&quot;It&#039;s amazing to learn that humans have a resilience that we can resort to at any moment in our lives.&quot;Shakira and Piqué were together for 11 years prior to calling it quits, originally meeting on the set for Shakira&#039;s 2010 Football World Cup smash hit Waka Waka (This Time for Africa).They went on to become one of the entertainment and sporting world&#039;s most high-profile couples before confirming their separation in June 2022.The pair share two sons, Milan, 13 and Sasha, 11.Shakira had previously referred to her ex-partner as &quot;Voldemort,&quot; in a past interview with The Times, ﻿however her stance appears to have softened in recent years.&quot;I will always have that gratitude in my heart for the father of my kids and [for] turning me into the mother that I am today,&quot; she said.At the time, rumours had circulated that the former footballer had ﻿been unfaithful.When asked about whether she was ready to foray back into the dating scene, she was adamant that ﻿she had no interest in doing so.&quot;Oh no, no romance for me for now,&quot; the singer insisted.&quot;There&#039;s no space or time in my life for that. My plate is quite full. My kids are my priority. And my career.&quot;Strangely enough, I&#039;m in love with my career like I&#039;ve never been in my life. I&#039;m enjoying my time alone as well.&quot; ]]></description>

Before his return he had been training in private. Hill has not played since round 21 last year, the club granted him personal leave following the breakdown of his relationship with Devlin. At the time she moved back to Perth with their two sons. Shortly after, Hill shared an emotional post about missing his kids, which marked the first public sign that they were having trouble in their relationship. &quot;Gonna miss you guys. Dad loves yous,&quot; he wrote alongside a photo of him and the boys. While neither Devlin or Hill commented directly on the split at the time, their social media accounts spoke volumes. Hill&#039;s feed had gone quiet, and he removed almost all photos of his partner and their two sons. Speculation they had split was fuelled further when the couple unfollowed each other on Instagram. All tagged photos of each other also disappeared. At this time, neither Hill or Devlin follow each other, and he has not shared a post on Instagram since June 2025. Hill is also not linked to the post announcing Hazel&#039;s birth, and has not posted the news himself on his page.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ When Michael Hutchence died in tragic circumstances on November 22, 1997, he left behind a heartbroken partner, Paula Yates, only child Tiger Lily, a grieving family and bandmates, and millions of devastated fans.The INXS frontman also left behind a long list of former loves, including &#039;90s supermodel Helen Christensen and Aussie singer and actress Kylie Minogue.Almost 30 years after his death, Minogue has spoken candidly about her relationship with Hutchence as part of a new Netflix series about her life, Kylie, calling him &quot;my person&quot;.﻿Read on to learn more about their relationship and the other loves of Hutchence&#039;s life.﻿Kylie Minogue﻿The two reportedly first met in 1987 when Hutchence approached her table at the Countdown Music Awards and announced he wanted to sleep with her.The next time they met, he invited Minogue and her then-boyfriend Jason Donovan to an INXS after party.Minogue told A Current Affair (ACA) in 2014 that Hutchence asked &quot;to kiss [her] numerous times&quot; during the night, but she said &#039;no&#039;.Donovan told the documentary it was clear that night Hutchence had designs on his then-girlfriend, but it was only after she and Donovan broke up that the two became an item in late 1989.&quot;He was a dark bad boy and I was the pure good girl.&quot;At the time, she was 20 while Hutchence was 29. They made their red carpet debut at the premiere of Minogue&#039;s film, The Delinquents, in December 1989, with the singer showing up ﻿sporting a short blonde wig.Minogue was also by his side when he celebrated his 30th birthday with a party on January 22, 1990﻿.But the relationship soon raised eyebrows, especially after Hutchence quipped his favourite pastime was &quot;corrupting Kylie&quot;.For her part, Minogue told ﻿Mystify: Michael Hutchence, &quot;He had insatiable curiosity, all the good things in life and some bad.&quot;He opened up a whole new world for me. A lot of it was based around pleasure ... sex, love, food, drugs, music, travel, books, you name it, he wanted to experience it.&quot;He was a dark bad boy and I was the pure good girl.&quot;The relationship lasted just over two years before Hutchence broke it off in 1992.Minogue told Nine&#039;s A Current Affair in 2014, &quot;He broke my heart. I have to confess that the hurt stayed for quite a long time&quot;.Now, ﻿Minogue has opened up about their romance and break-up in her new docuseries, revealing their many &#039;firsts&#039;.&quot;He was the first in so many ways. And of those firsts was heartbreak. I was devastated,&quot; she said.Despite their break up, she was among mourners at his funeral, where she recalled a strange moment.﻿&quot;This is going to sound totally crazy, but I felt him going, &#039;It will be OK,&#039;&quot; she said. &quot;I always feel he is with me, which is kind of crazy.&quot;Minogue became emotional when speaking about Hutchence, and while she admitted the &quot;emotion and the memor­ies I have with him... might seem dis­pro­por­tion­ate﻿&quot; to some, it was a testament to the bond they shared.&quot;I just felt protected and nurtured and valued and believed in,&quot; she said.Minogue later learned from people in Hutchence&#039;s circle that he too would reminisce about their time together.﻿She also said their romance had left her yearning for a similar love, decades on.﻿&quot;You go on and live your lives, but it was definitely an amazing point in time and I&#039;ve probably been looking for something like that ever since and I haven&#039;t got it﻿,&quot; she said.Michele BennettBefore meeting and falling in love with Minogue, Hutchence had a long romance with another Aussie beauty, Michele Bennett.In fact, it was their relationship that inspired the lyrics of one of INXS&#039;s most loved songs, Never Tear Us Apart, which was voted the winner of Triple J&#039;s Hottest 100 of Australian Songs in 2025.Around the time the band released their second album Underneath the Colours, Hutchence met his first love. Reports suggest they met after Bennett attended one of INXS&#039;s early shows.Actress Jane Harber, who played Bennett in the 2014 miniseries Never Tear Us Apart: The Untold Story of INXS, told TV Tonight she was a touchstone in the rock star&#039;s life.&quot;They met at a gig... kind of before he found his groove,&quot; she said.&quot;He was just starting out and she obviously loved his music, having been to a couple of his gigs. They fell in love quickly.&quot;For a daily dose of 9Honey, subscribe to our newsletter here.By 1982, the then part-time model and photographic assistant made a brief appearance in the banquet scenes of the music video for the INXS song The One Thing.She introduced Hutchence to filmmaker Richard Lowenstein, who would go on to direct 15 INXS music videos. He also cast the singer in his cult 1986 film, Dogs in Space, in which he starred as drug-addicted band member.The couple remained together for five years, living together for much of that time in a terrace home in Sydney&#039;s Paddington, which they shared with singer Jenny Morrison, before breaking up around 1987.Harber told TV Tonight, &quot;I don&#039;t think Michele was wanting to put up with that kind of lifestyle. She wanted him to be successful, but didn&#039;t want to be in that &#039;rock star&#039; scene with the drugs, women and travel.&quot;Despite their break-up, the two remained close. It was this bond that inspired Hutchence&#039;s lyrics when he and Farris began working on their 1987 power ballad Never Tear Us Apart.The former couple worked together for the next decade, with Bennett producing music videos for three INXS songs released in 1990, including Suicide Blonde, By My Side and Bitter Tears.She would later become a sought-after music video producer for artists including U2, Prince, Silverchair and Foo Fighters and produced hit films such as Chopper.Bennett was the last person to speak to the INXS frontman before his death.She told the﻿ 2019 documentary Mystify: Michael Hutchence the singer phoned her twice on the morning he died.The first call went to an answering machine. After answering a second call and hearing he was upset, she agreed to go to his Sydney hotel room but he did not answer the door, so she left a note at hotel reception.Bennett has never spoken about their relationship but others, including Hutchence&#039;s sister Tina ﻿and Lowenstein, said they believed the two would always end up married.Rosanna CrashAfter Bennett, Hutchence started a secret relationship with US model Rosanna Crash.The relationship began in 1987, and lasted about a year, but only came to light publicly in the 2017 documentary Michael Hutchence: The Last Rockstar. She was by his side during the INXS Kick tour of the US.﻿Hutchence&#039;s sister Tina wrote on Facebook in 2020, &quot;Rosanna gave Michael the companionship he sorely needed and the support he wanted without a second thought.&quot;The couple took small forays into the real world, away from the interviews, sound checks, performances and the air-conditioned artifice of hotel life. &quot;They ate macrobiotic food and practised tai chi and yoga in their daily routines, even with the tour&#039;s rigorous demands.&quot;Tina described Crash as a &quot;very private person&quot; who had declined interview requests, adding, &quot;However, I wrote of their relationship in Michael My Brother, Lost Boy of INXS. We are friends to this day.&quot;﻿Hutchence reportedly broke up with Crash over the phone after he fell for soap actress and pop princess Kylie Minogue.Helena ChristensenAfter Minogue, Hutchence had a brief relationship with US singer Belinda Carlisle before becoming involved with Danish supermodel Helena Christensen.There are varying reports of how and when the first two met but by 1991, they were in a relationship.In the documentary, Mystify: Michael Hutchence, Christensen described Hutchence as her &quot;perfect match&quot; and said the relationship, which lasted for four years, was &quot;joyful, sweet, deep and emotional&quot;.&quot;[It was] total mental and physical chemistry,&quot; she said.But Christensen also revealed in the documentary then-unknown ﻿details about a health crisis Hutchence suffered during their relationship.The couple were on the streets of Copenhagen when the star was assaulted by a taxi driver, causing him to fall and hit his head on concrete.&quot;He was unconscious and there was blood coming out of his mouth and ear,&quot; she said, &quot;I thought he was dead.&quot;Hutchence was rushed to hospital and treated for a serious head injury, which left him with no sense of taste or smell, but she said he awoke a &quot;dark and very angry&quot; man.Tina Hutchence later publicly criticised Christensen for keeping the secret from his family even in the decades after his death.In the documentary, Mystify: Michael Hutchence, filmmaker Richard Lowenstein alleged the brain damage the rock star suffered in the attack could have led him to take his own life years later.Hutchence broke up with the model in 1995. By then, he had already begun an affair with British TV presenter Paula Yates, the wife of Sir Bob Geldof.﻿Paul YatesHutchence and ﻿Yates first met a decade earlier when she interviewed him for the TV show The Tube.She was ﻿reportedly so taken by the INXS star, she started turning up at concerts.It is not known how and when their affair began, but it came to light during a second flirty interview with the singer in October 1994 for the TV show The Big Breakfast.The affair was exposed by British tabloids and ﻿Yates split from Geldof, but his popularity and nickname &quot;Saint Bob&quot; – taken from his organisation of the Band Aid and Live Aid charity events – saw Hutchence and ﻿Yates maligned by the press and public.Yates and Geldof&#039;s separation in February 1995 and subsequent divorce the following year resulted in a bitter custody dispute that continued until Hutchence&#039;s death.On July 22, 1996, Yates gave birth to the couple&#039;s only child, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily.Hutchence was in Australia in November 1997 to start preparations for INXS&#039;s 20th anniversary tour when Yates told him a custody hearing relating to the three children she shared with Geldof had been adjourned until December 17 and she would not be able to bring them to Australia as planned.This left him to face a long separation from Yates and Tiger Lily.Hutchence then called Geldof to plead for him to reconsider.Geldof later confirmed he received a call from Hutchence. It was some time after this that he made the first of two calls to his former girlfriend Bennett.A hotel ﻿maid found the singer&#039;s body later that day. His death was ruled a suicide. He was 37.It was later revealed another former girlfriend, Aussie actress Kym Wilson, had visited Hutchence in his hotel room, along with her then-boyfriend, the previous evening and was the last person to see him alive.Tiger Lily was just 16 months old at the time of her father&#039;s death, and appeared at his funeral in the arms of her grieving mother, who would die just three years later from a heroin overdose. Orphaned at four, she was later adopted by Geldof so she could be raised with her siblings.Only one INXS song was played at Hutchence&#039;s funeral as his coffin left the church; Never Tear Us Apart﻿.

<title>Five things we learned about Kylie Minogue from her new docuseries</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Kylie Minogue&#039;s three-part docuseries ﻿KYLIE landed on Netflix with a bombshell health admission in the final minutes.The Padam Padam singer emotionally revealed she&#039;d battled a second primary breast cancer in 2021, which was picked up during a routine checkup 15 years after her first cancer battle.But it wasn&#039;t the only thing we learned in the incredibly raw and honest journey, which covers her nearly 40-year career.In the series, the Australian-born international icon charts her start as an actress, including her breakout role in soap Neighbours, before turning into the pop star who sold 80 million records.But the transition wasn&#039;t easy for Minogue, with the now 57-year-old ﻿admitting the constant criticism and need to pigeonhole her as an artist was a lot &quot;to cop&quot; as a 19-year-old.﻿&quot;I was insecure and uncertain,&quot; she admitted.&quot;I remember hearing clangers that were really public … being mean ... to be 19 years old and having to cop that, that was unpleasant.&quot;﻿People would say &quot;you can&#039;t do both&quot; and Minogue couldn&#039;t understand that, saying, &quot;Tell that to Dolly and Cher and Barbara and see what they have to say about it&quot;.READ MORE: Kylie Minogue reveals secret second cancer diagnosisREAD MORE: Most telling part of Kylie Minogue&#039;s new docuseriesREAD MORE: &#039;Brutal&#039; two-word label that almost derailed Kylie&#039;s career&quot;I don&#039;t like to be trapped, I don&#039;t like to be in a box and I was those early years,&quot; she noted.Also adding to her struggles were statements comparing her to a &quot;human crocheted scarf&quot; or calling her &quot;boring&quot;, comments sister Dannii Minogue said &quot;you would never say now and get away with it&quot;.Former partner Jason Donovan, who appears in the series, also spoke about how Minogue &quot;really struggled&quot; with the backlash, saying he didn&#039;t know how to handle it at the time.He said things like, &quot;Well, maybe you shouldn&#039;t have gone down that route, because that&#039;s sort of how my attitude was&quot;.In promotional materials for the docuseries, Minogue said staying the course in the face of the criticism she faced is one of the proudest moments of her career.&quot;In those early challenging days, I knew I hadn&#039;t proved myself,&quot; she said.&quot;I simply hadn&#039;t had a chance. I was successful before I knew what I was doing, so I basically learnt everything on the job, in full view of the public.&quot;So, I&#039;m proud that I stayed the course, I&#039;m proud I took risks.&quot;And those risks ultimately paid off especially with her return to her pop roots in her ﻿Spinning Around era, at a time she was ready to quit the industry if it didn&#039;t work.Minogue says watching back the three hours of her evolution over the last 40 years was &quot;like an out-of-body experience&quot;.&quot;It was interesting seeing how much I have changed as I&#039;ve matured, how I have evolved as a performer and surprisingly, how much I haven&#039;t changed,&quot; she said in promotional materials.&quot;Baby Kylie had a determination and a passion, just like I do today.﻿&quot;This wasn&#039;t the only insight the I Should Be So Lucky singer gave fans. Here&#039;s everything else we learned from Kylie:﻿Minogue postponed chemotherapy for IVFMinogue spoke, not for the first time,﻿ about her unsuccessful attempts to have children after delaying her chemotherapy in 2005 to undergo IVF.She was dating French actor Olivier Martinez at the time and photos of the couple during that time flashed up on screen as she spoke about the experience.&quot;There&#039;s so much more to cancer than just, &#039;You had it, you got through it, you&#039;re fine or you&#039;re fine for now&#039;,&quot; she said after finding lyrics she&#039;d penned for her possible child.&quot;I was 36 when I got my diagnosis so … already you need to be thinking about children.&quot;So I did try, I postponed my chemotherapy to try, which was quite scary at the time because I just wanted … you just want it out, gone. I want to feel safe.&quot;But yeah, I did try a few times with IVF. Always with such a thread of hope, but I couldn&#039;t not try.&quot;The singer underwent her breast cancer chemo and radiotherapies in Paris, ending up in ICU at some points during treatment.Sister Dannii recalled that time ﻿was tough for the whole family, even with her mum by her sister&#039;s side.&quot;We didn&#039;t know if she was ever going to be well again, it was that bad,&quot; Dannii said.&quot;Like, is she going to live through this? I just felt so helpless, there was nothing I could do for her.&quot;The irony, Dannii added, is that growing up she didn&#039;t think she&#039;d be a﻿ mother, whereas Kylie always wanted to be one, and it&#039;s turned out the opposite in their lives.The Minogue sisters&#039; parents have never done a sit-down interview but appeared in this seies for a poignant relfective scene around a campfire.﻿Michael Hutchence was ﻿&#039;my person&#039;Minogue spoke ﻿fondly of her relationship with INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, before labelling him &quot;my person&quot; and admitted she&#039;s spent the rest of her life looking for a love like theirs.&quot;You go on and live your lives but it was definitely an amazing point in time and I&#039;ve probably been looking for something like that ever since and I haven&#039;t got it,&quot; she said.The couple dated ﻿for two years between 1989 and 1991 and Hutchence died six years later, in 1997.&quot;It might seem disproportionate, the emotion and the memories I have with him and with that time, but I just felt protected and nurtured and valued and believed in,&quot; she said, getting emotional.&quot;I remember being at the church and it was overwhelming, the outpouring of love for him. It&#039;s going to sound totally crazy but I felt him saying &#039;It&#039;s okay. It will be okay&#039;. I always feel he&#039;s with me. It&#039;s kind of crazy but I do.&quot;You can have relationship with, as I have had, relationships with different people but someone that really just believed ... believes in you so much.&quot;Here&#039;s an important point. He really didn&#039;t want me to be someone else for him. He was encouraging me to discover me.&quot;In promotional materials for the docuseries﻿ Minogue added that Hutchence&#039;s impact has been life-long.&quot;I was 21 when we met – and I was really impressionable. And I mean that in the best possible way. He just had such an impact on me,&quot; she said.&quot;He was a smart, kind, deep, artistic and interesting human and we went on this beautiful journey of a relationship.&quot;But, she still has &#039;a lot of love&#039; for DonovanThe close bond shared by ﻿Minogue and Donovan is undeniable - and both say just as much in the docuseries.&quot;We were fresh out of high school, so it was that sweethearts sort of romance,&quot; Minogue said of their romance in episode one.But Donovan felt it was more serious, saying he thought a life and family with the singer &quot;was my destination&quot;.﻿&quot;Did I ever think we were going to get married? The truth is - yeah. And have kids and that&#039;s the script written, and off you go,&quot; he said in the series.Home movie footage from their holidays together is seen for what&#039;s believed to be the first time and when Minogue watched it &quot;for the first time my heart swelled&quot;.&quot;I thought, &#039;Oh my God, we were just babies&#039;. That brought back tidal waves of nostalgia, emotion, and a lot of love.&quot;Donovan ﻿has been a source of support for Minogue over the years, despite their difficult split almost 40 years ago.The former Neighbours co-star even attended the London premiere for the new docuseries on Monday night, alongside both Minogue sisters.However, in the docuseries, he aired his frustration of being asked about his famous ex almost on a daily basis.Minogue calls best friend &#039;real saviour&#039;The soap star-turned-singer credited Hutchence with helping fill her with confidence and finding her own voice in both her personal life and her professional image.She said it was fellow Aussie singer Nick Cave who convinced her to return to her pop roots when her short-lived indie artist phase didn&#039;t pan out.But it was someone else ﻿Minogue labelled her &quot;real saviour&quot; - photographer Kat Jebb who became her best friend during her first time living in Paris following her split from Hutchence in 1991, at the age of 22.&quot;She was a real saviour to me and I started to feel good and confident as a woman on my own,&quot; Minogue, now 57, said, adding Jebb was the first photographer to really capture her authentic self.The pair became &quot;firm friends&quot; in two weeks and part of the docuseries interviews were filmed at her house.﻿She&#039;s been such an incredibly solid friend – we&#039;ve had times where we lost touch but we&#039;ve always come back together,&quot; Minogue said in promotional material for the docuseries.&quot;She&#039;s someone that I feel nurtured by and so incredibly lucky to have these beautiful images celebrating our friendship.&quot;Nine Entertainment Co (the publisher of this website) owns and operates the streaming service Stan.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ Katie Price has marked her 48th birthday with a cryptic social media post and a hastily recorded song about heartbreak – as fresh questions swirl around her missing husband after his Instagram account suddenly became active again.The former glamour model has spent the past week publicly pleading for answers after her husband Lee Andrews vanished in Dubai.Price claimed that in his last call, Lee was wearing a hood and appeared to be in an old van, his hands tied in front of him.﻿https://www.instagram.com/p/DYp3PHeMC-J/?hl=enIn a shock twist, Andrews&#039; social media account appeared to spring back to life – and fans noticed he had started following a mystery American woman, even as he still failed to respond to Price.The development comes just a day after Price declared she was stepping back from the search and leaving the matter &quot;with the police&quot;.On her birthday, Price posted a series of emotional Instagram quotes about heartbreak, betrayal, and entering her &quot;comeback era.&quot;Alongside the posts, she shared a video montage featuring a cover of the classic ballad Get Here, which she revealed she had rushed into a studio to record.&quot;I don&#039;t care how you get here, just get here if you can,&quot; the emotional lyrics plead.On a separate text slide, she shared a quote hinting at her mindset, reading: &quot;When a woman enters her comeback era, everything changes. Her mindset, her circle, her standards.&quot;READ MORE: Katie Price admits she&#039;s &#039;given up search&#039; for missing husbandREAD MORE: Viral YouTube star announces son, 14, has diedREAD MORE:﻿ Prince William shares rare update on Kate following cancer battleThe posts landed hours before British tabloid The Sun reported Andrews had returned online after eight days offline and followed a woman named Marisol, a US Navy veteran and social media user believed to be based in America.According to The Sun, Price was alerted to the activity by followers who spotted the new account in Andrews&#039; following list.The tabloid also reported Andrews had not responded to Price&#039;s messages since their last alleged contact, when he reportedly claimed he had been arrested.However, now his &#039;following&#039; list has gone back down to one, with the woman saying she has blocked him.Speaking to The Sun, she said she does not know him, nor has she ever exchanged messages.While there has been widespread speculation online about Andrews&#039; whereabouts and the circumstances surrounding his disappearance, there has been no official confirmation of foul play or criminal activity.The saga has unfolded publicly over the past week, with Price documenting her concerns on podcasts, YouTube videos, and social media posts as she attempted to make contact with her husband.Earlier this week, she revealed she had reached a point where she could do little else except wait for updates from authorities.&quot;There&#039;s nothing I can do,&quot; she said on her podcast.&quot;I&#039;m not gonna talk about it anymore.&quot;Price also said she would not allow the ordeal to consume her life while police inquiries continued overseas.&quot;For my own sanity, I&#039;m taking a step back,&quot; she said.The relationship itself has attracted heavy attention in the British press since the pair married in January after only knowing each other for a matter of days.Following their whirlwind wedding, Price regularly travelled between the UK and Dubai, where Andrews was based.Questions around Andrews intensified after reports emerged alleging he was unable to leave Dubai due to legal and financial issues linked to previous business dealings.Andrews has not publicly responded to those allegations.His ex-fiancée has also publicly criticised him in recent weeks, warning Price about his behaviour before he disappeared.The mystery took a new turn when Andrews failed to appear for a planned television interview with Price, which was expected to mark their first major appearance together as a married couple.Since then, social media users have closely monitored Andrews&#039; online accounts for signs of activity, with the latest Instagram move triggering another wave of speculation.Neither Andrews nor the woman he reportedly followed has publicly commented on the situation.Price has also not directly addressed the Instagram activity publicly, instead focusing her latest posts on heartbreak, healing and moving forward.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ What would the Cannes Film Festival be without the minutes-long standing ovations?Sure, you have the glitz and glamour of the red carpet and the films themselves, but everyone knows the cast and directors are hoping their movies provoke a record-breaking ovation.While A-listers like Penelope Cruz and Cara Delevingne were granted their wish of a glorious ovation, others were left disappointed.While there&#039;s not an official time keeper of standing ovations, many publications all keep their own times and report back accordingly.La Bola Negrav – 20 minutesActress ﻿Penelope Cruz has walked away from Cannes with the longest standing ovation of the year. You can watch the video at the top of this article.La Bola Negra (The Black Ball) from directors Javier Calvó and Javier Ambrossi, received a nearly 20-minute-long ovation at Cannes.The actress was moved to tears by the standing ovation, with the emotional moment caught on camera.Cruz stars in the film, which is tells &quot;interconnected stories of three men in three different eras.&quot;&quot;Three lives intimately linked by sexuality and desire, pain and inheritance, and one of Federico García Lorca´s last, unfinished works,&quot; according to the film&#039;s synopsis.The film had a reportedly &quot;overwhelmingly positive&quot; reaction from crowds. ﻿The Man I Love – 10 minutesRami Malek was also brought to tears﻿ during a nine-minute standing ovation for his film The Man I Love, from director Ira Sachs.The film follows the harrowing journey of fictional New York theatre star Jimmy George, who is forced to face his own mortality following an AIDS diagnosis in the late 1980s.﻿READ MORE: ﻿Double takes as Demi unveils new look at CannesREAD MORE: Katie Price as &#039;given up search&#039; for missing husband﻿READ MORE: Bec Judd&#039;s son&#039;s hilarious reaction to seeing her &#039;wrinkles&#039;﻿Malek could be seen tearing up during the ovation, with the crowd cheering for nine whole minutes.Paper Tiger – six to ten minutes﻿Hollywood A-lister Scarlett Johansson is the star of Paper Tiger, which received a standing ovation between six and ten minutes long.Director James Grey reportedly tried to ring the actress, who did not attend the festival, in front of the crowd following the film&#039;s debut; however, she didn&#039;t pick up – awkward.﻿At least his movie had one of the longest ovations of the week!Club Kid – seven minutesCara Delevingne is one of the many actors featured in Club Kid from US writer Jordan Firstman.The film received a seven-minute ovation, with Delevingne breaking down into tears as the crowd applauded.Following the screening, the actress told The Mirror she had &quot;never cried so much.&quot;&quot;I think I haven&#039;t cried and laughed that much in a movie, it just to be able to feel that range of emotion through watching something with everyone next to you in the cast,&quot; she said.﻿﻿The crowd also reportedly burst into laughter and broke into tears a few times during the film.Firstman picked up his on-screen son, Reggie Absolom, when the film ended, with the audience chanting for them.The film follows a club promoter ﻿who is &quot;forced to turn his life around&quot; when an unexpected visitor, his son he never knew existed turns up.Other honourable mentions can be found below. ﻿All of a Sudden﻿ – seven to eleven minutesJapanese filmmaker Hamaguchi Ryusuke&#039;s first French-language film, All of a Sudden, received one of the most emotional standing ovations.Variety said the film received a 7-minute applause, while Deadline ﻿reported an 11-minute applause.While there were conflicting reports once again, everyone agreed it received one of the longest ovations this year – and the most emotional.There were reports of people sobbing during the credits.The film follows two scholars brought together by sending each other letters.One falls ill, and their conversations turn towards mortality, with a deeper connection forming between them.Fatherland – five minutesThe latest film from﻿ Pawel Pawlikowski, Fatherland, received a standing ovation between four and a half minutes and seven minutes long.Vulture averaged it out to five minutes. Deadline reported a six minute ovation, while The Hollywood Reporter said it was a quick four and a half minute ovation.The film is set during the Cold War﻿, following a father and his daughter who go on a road trip across Germany, heading from the US-dominated Frankfurt to the Soviet city of Weimar.&quot;I hope at least fifty per cent of you really meant it,&quot; director Pawlikowski reportedly said following the ovation.Parallel Tales – ﻿gets a &#039;polite&#039; six minutes&quot;Polite but not especially enthusiastic&quot; is how The Hollywood Reporter described the six-minute ovation that followed Parallel Tales by filmmaker Asghar Farhadi. Brutal.Deadline put the ovation at seven minutes, Variety said it was five and a half minutes, while The Hollywood Reporter said it was 5.8 minutes, with Vulture rounding it to an average of six minutes based on those reports.The French-language film follows a group of nosey neighbours whose lives happen to intertwine.Hope – six minutes ﻿Sci-fi thriller Hope by Korean Director Na Hong-jin received a 6.3-minute ovation (averaged).Deadline said the ovation lasted seven minutes, ﻿while The Hollywood Reporter said it lasted for six minutes.Variety, which described the film ﻿as a &quot;bats--t crazy Korean monster movie,&quot; timed the ovation at 6 minutes.Deadline said the applause was enthusiastic but &quot;tempered&quot; adding, &quot;﻿had it ended 20 minutes earlier, the applause would&#039;ve been through the roof.&quot;The Beloved – seven minutesVariety and Deadline were in agreement that The Beloved (El Ser Querido), starring Javier Bardem, received a seven-minute ﻿standing ovation.The film, by Spanish director Rodrigo Sorogoyen, follows a famous director and his unsuccessful actress daughter trying to shoot a film together after a period of estrangement between the pair.The crowd erupted into &quot;Rapturous&quot; applause when the film ended. ﻿FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<title>Anne Hathaway responds to plastic surgery speculation: &amp;apos;It&amp;apos;s just two braids&amp;apos;</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Anne Hathaway has weighed in on relentless online commentary questioning whether she has undergone cosmetic surgery.The 43-year-old actor spoke about the speculation in an interview with Elle, explaining that the public discussion around her face had become &quot;distracting.&quot;Earlier this year, after face-lift rumours began flooding social media, Hathaway posted an Instagram video showing how her hairstylist had created two hidden braids near her temples to give her eye area &quot;a little extra lift.&quot;In the interview, the Oscar winner addressed the video, clarifying that while it wasn&#039;t intended as a aggressive or &quot;pointed&quot; denial, she did want to clear the air.&quot;These are huge medical decisions that people are presuming,&quot; Hathaway said. &quot;I wanted to show that like, no, I didn&#039;t make a huge medical decision. It&#039;s just two braids.&quot;The Devil Wears Prada star admitted she would normally ignore public scrutiny altogether, but the noise had simply become too loud.READ MORE: Meet the Aussie heiresses set to inherit billionsREAD MORE:﻿ Prince William shares rare update on Kate following cancer battleREAD MORE: Viral YouTube star announces death of teenage son&quot;We&#039;re at a time when people feel very confident in assuming what they think is fact, and sometimes what they think is accurate and sometimes it&#039;s not,&quot; she said.&quot;My preference would be to never comment on anything and to just live in the mystery and not draw attention to myself, but the speculation has gotten so loud that you do feel the need to just get your truth out there.&quot;Hathaway also admitted she wrestled with whether breaking her silence via the Instagram post was the right move.&quot;And I&#039;ll probably always wonder, &#039;Should I have posted that or not? Should I have just kept going and done the thing that makes me happy and makes me feel more confident on the red carpet?&#039;&quot; she said. &quot;But I felt like the conversation was becoming distracting.&quot;While Hathaway denied undergoing surgery, she made it clear she isn&#039;t anti-procedure, adding, &quot;... I might still get a facelift someday.&quot;The interview comes after Hathaway made a rare public appearance with husband Adam Shulman at Louis Vuitton&#039;s Cruise 2027 fashion show in New York.She donned a loose-fitting look from the label&#039;s Fall 2026 collection, designed by artistic director Nicolas Ghesquière.She accessorised the outfit with jewellery from Bulgari&#039;s Serpenti collection, including a diamond-encrusted gold necklace valued at $27,600 USD, hoop earrings worth $5650 USD and a bracelet priced at $13,700 USD.Hathaway completed the look with oversized sunglasses, black pumps and a monogrammed miniature trunk handbag.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<title>Inside John Travolta&amp;apos;s emotional Cannes return after stepping away from the spotlight: &amp;apos;The last thing I expected&amp;apos;</title>

<description><![CDATA[ John Travolta flew himself to Cannes and has made several appearances already on the red carpet, a move that&#039;s a far cry from the private life he&#039;s been living in recent years. The 72-year-old is at the Cannes Film Festival to premiere his directorial debut, Propeller One-Way Night Coach, a rare appearance for a very special movie. But while that was meant to be the big moment, the Hollywood star was given an honorary Palme d&#039;Or, with the moment bringing him to tears. &quot;I can&#039;t believe this. This is the last thing I expected,&quot; Travolta said, getting visibly emotional on stage last Friday. &quot;You said this would be a special night, but I didn&#039;t think you meant this. This is a humbling moment. This is beyond the Oscar.&quot;Travolta walked the red carpet alongside the film&#039;s cast earlier in the evening, which includes his daughter Ella Bleu Travolta as well as Clark Shotwell, Kelly Eviston-Quinnett and Olga Hoffman. Propeller One-Way Night Coach is based on Travolta&#039;s 1997 book of the same name, about an eight-year-old boy named Jeff who loves aviation and takes a cross-country flight with his mom to Hollywood. Travolta wrote the book for his late son, Jett.READ MORE: Rummer Willis on dad&#039;s ongoing health battleREAD MORE: Katie Price has &#039;given up search&#039; for missing husbandREAD MORE: Bec Judd&#039;s son&#039;s reaction to seeing her &#039;wrinkles&#039;The fact that the film was even accepted to Cannes is something that still blows him away, and he recalled the moment Festival head Thierry Frémaux told him it was happening. &quot;When I met with [Frémaux] in November, I had no expectation that my film would be accepted, and when Thierry said it was... making history because it would be the first film being accepted that early, I cried like a baby,&quot; Travolta said while accepting the award.&quot;This is the blueprint of my life and everyone that was in the movie is sitting in the audience right there, my family, and this is why this film exists and why I exist as an artist because of that group of people right there.&quot;Travolta&#039;s life has been turbulent, with some of the highest highs in success in his entertainment career, and three deeply heartbreaking tragedies in his personal life. In 1976 he met Diana Hyland on the set of The Boy in the Plastic Bubble and was instantly smitten. The actress, who was 18 years older than him, played his mother in the TV drama film, and after a month on set things became romantic. But after two years of dating, Hyland was diagnosed with breast cancer and while he was filming Saturday Night Fever her health declined quickly, forcing him to fly home to Los Angeles. Travolta was with her until the very end, she was 41 when she died. &quot;I gave her great joy the last months of her life,&quot; Travolta recalled to People. &quot;I always feel she is with me – I mean, her intentions are. Diana always wanted the world for me in every possible way.&quot;Then, 10 years later, he found love with Kelly Preston, and after they married in Paris in 1991, they went on to welcome three children. Jett was born in 1992, Ella Bleu in 2000 and Benjamin, born in 2010. In January 2009 tragedy struck again, and Jett died at the age of just 16. The family was on holiday at the time in the Bahamas and Jett, who was autistic and regularly had seizures, died after hitting his head on a bathtub mid-seizure. Travolta and Preston confirmed the devastating news of their son&#039;s passing in a statement. &quot;Jett was the most wonderful son that two parents could ever ask for and lit up the lives of everyone he encountered,&quot; said the couple. &quot;We are heartbroken that our time with him was so brief. We will cherish the time we had with him for the rest of our lives.&quot;But out of that heartbreak, Travolta founded the Jett Travolta Foundation, which aims to &quot;assist and provide relief to children with vision, hearing, mobility, communication, behaviour learning impairments or other special medical, environmental, health or educational needs.&quot;Then in 2020, he was hit with another loss. On July 12, Travolta confirmed that Preston had died at 57, following a secret battle with breast cancer. He announced the news on Instagram and wrote: &quot;It is with a very heavy heart that I inform you that my beautiful wife Kelly has lost her two-year battle with breast cancer. She fought a courageous fight with the love and support of so many. &quot;My family and I will forever be grateful to her doctors and nurses at MD Anderson Cancer Centre, all the medical centres that have helped, as well as her many friends and loved ones who have been by her side. Kelly&#039;s love and life will always be remembered. &quot;I will be taking some time to be there for my children who have lost their mother, so forgive me in advance if you don&#039;t hear from us for a while. But please know that I will feel your outpouring of love in the weeks and months ahead as we heal.&quot;In the years since, Travolta has put a focus into his children and life away from in front of the camera. Travolta recently celebrated his 72nd birthday with another pilot license, for a Bombardier Global Express.He has been a licensed pilot since 22, and since starting his pilot career, he has become qualified to pilot several different planes including the Boeing 747, 707 and 737.Clearly, a strong passion of his, he also recently donated a rare Boeing 707-138, once owned by Frank Sinatra, to Australia&#039;s Historical Aircraft Restoration Society at Albion Park.The aircraft only just arrived Down Under, a truly special piece of history which will soon be on display.But aside from flying, he&#039;s become known for the loving and proud tributes he shares online for his kids and to mark anniversaries for his late wife Preston. Despite his mammoth fame, it&#039;s clear that in recent years Travolta has stepped back from the spotlight, although the debut at Cannes of the personal movie, will no doubt put him back into it.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<title>Ray Romano&amp;apos;s jaw&#45;dropping residuals from Everybody Loves Raymond revealed</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/ray-romanos-jaw-dropping-residuals-from-everybody-loves-raymond-revealed</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ ﻿Everybody Loves Raymond continues to be a major win for its lead star Ray Romano, after it was revealed he makes an eye-watering $25 million per year in residuals.Although the hit show ended 20 years ago, Variety and Forbes reported in 2012 the cash continued to flow – largely due to the show&#039;s syndication deals.Two decades on, Romano, 68, remains part of an elite list of actors still raking in five figures annually, long after their shows went off the air.Residuals, like royalties, are a passive form of income actors receive when their shows are re-run on television networks.According to media labour union SAG-AFTRA&#039;s website, they are defined as compensation paid to performers &quot;for use of a theatrical motion picture or television program beyond the use covered by initial compensation.&quot;Syndication deals, on the other hand, ﻿involve the licensing of a TV show to multiple independent stations, cable networks or streaming platforms beyond its original network.&quot;For TV work, residuals begin once a show starts re-airing or is released to video/DVD, pay television, broadcast TV, basic cable, or new media,&quot; SAG-AFTRA stated.READ MORE: Milly Alcock goes from washing dishes to global stardomREAD MORE: Brad Pitt&#039;s PDA-packed date night after graduation snubREAD MORE: Aussie star reveals lie he told to land role in hit TV show﻿At the time of the report, Vanity Fair ranked Romano as one of TV&#039;s highest-paid actors despite Everybody Loves Raymond having ended seven years prior.The other top-earning male actors on their list included Ashton Kutcher, Tim Allen, Patrick Dempsey, Hugh Laurie and Mark Harmon, all of whom were starring in popular shows at the time.According to Celebrity Net Worth, Romano remains worth a whopping $200 million as of 2026.The comic actor ﻿portrayed sportswriter Ray Barone across all nine seasons of the long-running CBS sitcom, joined by co-stars Brad Garrett, Doris Roberts, Patricia Heaton and Peter Boyle.He even made history during the show&#039;s final season, setting the Guinness World Record for highest-paid actor in television per episode at $AU2.7 million.This proved a contentious point amongst the cast when it came to light, with the remainder of the show&#039;s core cast addressing the pay gap and negotiating raises in the aftermath.Romano is not the only TV star to be cashing in on residuals, with Friends star Lisa Kudrow recently revealing the eye-watering sum she still receives annually in an interview with The Times of London.According to Kudrow, she and her fellow co-stars still make around $27 million per year over 20 years on from the hit show&#039;s final season.﻿ ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Sheryl Crow has shed new light on the end of her relationship with Lance Armstrong, saying she was diagnosed with breast cancer and learned the former cyclist had already moved on with a high-profile actress the same week they broke up.The singer, ﻿who shot to fame with the 1994 hit All I Wanna Do, made the revelation in the latest episode of the Netflix series The BobbyCast, without mentioning the seven-time Tour de France winner by name.&quot;In the same week that we split, I got diagnosed with breast cancer and I found out he was seeing a really famous actress,&quot; she told host Bobby Bones.Watch the video above.﻿&quot;I was engaged, I had three beautiful stepchildren, I wanted to have kids with this person.&quot;And I went through about nine months of radiation and grieving and anger.&quot;Crow and Armstrong started dating in 2003 and announced their engagement in September 2005.READ MORE: Tyson Fury&#039;s daughter breaks silence on wedding rumourREAD MORE: Kylie reveals secret second cancer diagnosisREAD MORE: A-lister makes rare appearance with daughterBut they never made it down the aisle and announced their split in a joint statement on February 3, 2006.That same week, Crow learned she had ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), a non-invasive form of breast cancer, and underwent a lumpectomy that same month.She released a statement to the press revealing she had undergone surgery and would be having further treatment before undergoing seven weeks of radiotherapy.She later became an advocate for early detection of breast cancer and coupled with her surgeon to open the Sheryl Crow Imaging Centre in 2010.Crow told ﻿Bones that during her cancer battle, her &quot;really stoic oncologist&quot; said something that made her re-evaluate her life.&quot;One of the things she said to me was, &#039;I have had a thousand women come through with breast cancer. Don&#039;t miss out on the lesson&#039;.&quot;It took my life screeching to a halt to get to a place to go, &#039;OK, who am I and why am I doing what I am doing? Do I love what I am doing?&#039;&quot;Crow told The Guardian in 2021 surviving breast cancer redefined &quot;who and how I am&quot;.&quot;Until then, I&#039;d spent a lifetime being a caretaker for everyone around me,&quot; she said.&quot;From then, I started to put myself first. I had voices at the back of my head telling me whatever I did wasn&#039;t good enough. Now, finally, I&#039;ve silenced them.&quot;Crow had always wanted children – which was a point of contention with Armstrong – and led to their split.He revealed in his 2009 memoir Lance that he was not ready to have more kids at the time – he already had three from his first marriage.&quot;She wanted marriage, she wanted children; and not that I didn&#039;t want that, but I didn&#039;t want that at that time because I had just gotten out of a marriage, I&#039;d just had kids. Yet, we&#039;re up against her biological clock that pressure is what cracked it.&quot;﻿He went on to have two children, Max, who was born in 2009, and Olivia, who followed a year later, with current wife, Anna Hansen, whom he married in 2022.Meanwhile, Crow went on to adopt two children as a single mother; Wyatt, now 19, and Levi, who is 16. She raised them primarily in Tennessee after moving there permanently in 2008.During the podcast, she discussed having children in her 40s and whether she struggled with being an older mum.For a daily dose of 9Honey, subscribe to our newsletter here.&quot;I got my first kid when I was 45. I got my second kid when I was 48,&quot; she said.&quot;I&#039;ve always felt young ... I&#039;ve always been in really good shape. I ﻿trampoline every night. To me, age was not a factor.&quot;Crow said being an older mum also meant she never felt like she was missing anything in her career and was able to devote herself to her sons.&quot;There was nothing that came along that I thought ever felt like I was going to miss out on. I have been at every baseball game.&quot; ﻿FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<title>Mindy Kaling addresses wild public reaction to her weight loss: &amp;apos;I understand it&amp;apos;</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/mindy-kaling-addresses-wild-public-reaction-to-her-weight-loss-i-understand-it</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Actress and writer Mindy Kaling has addressed the public reaction to her weight loss, which has seen her subjected to a barrage of criticism from fans.Kaling, 46, who shot to fame two decades ago as a cast member on the US version of The Office, which she also helped write, spoke about the reaction to her changing body during a wide-ranging interview with Bustle.The star ﻿spoke about the criticism she had received for losing weight and said she &quot;truly understands&quot; why it had upset her fans.&quot;It&#039;s sometimes no fun when one of your favourite actors loses weight,&quot; Kaling said.&quot;You have an idea of what they were like when you grew attached to them, and it made them endear themselves to you.&quot;Of course, it&#039;s never a joy to be scrutinised, but also I truly understand it, as someone who consumes pop culture.&quot;Kaling, ﻿who wrote an essay entitled Chubby for Life in her 2011 book, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns), previously revealed she struggled with her weight since childhood and tried numerous fad diets in her teens.READ MORE: Singer Sheryl Crow&#039;s bombshell claim about ex and famous actressREAD MORE: Tyson Fury&#039;s daughter breaks silence on wedding rumourREAD MORE: Kylie reveals secret second cancer diagnosishttps://www.instagram.com/p/DYhQFoFgCGE/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ampShe later suffered poor body image, which intensified when she arrived in Hollywood.During a 2021 interview with Good Morning America, ﻿Kaling said a fellow writer on The Office wrote a joke into the show suggesting her character, Kelly, should lose seven kilos.&quot;This is my greatest insecurity and someone just called it out. It&#039;s really devastating,&quot; she said at the time.﻿But she told Bustle her motivation for losing weight more recently was not vanity but the three children she is raising as a single mother so she can &quot;live at least 20 more years&quot;.&quot;When I was younger, I would want to lose weight because of vanity reasons,&quot; she said.&quot;Now I want to lose weight or have lost weight because I want to stave off things like diabetes.&quot;I had it on both sides of my family, and trying to avoid those kinds of things will, I think, help longevity for me, and that&#039;s my goal.&quot;Do I wake up every day being like, &#039;I look amazing and I&#039;m so gorgeous&#039;? No, unsurprisingly, but I truly feel so healthy.&quot;For a daily dose of 9Honey, subscribe to our newsletter here.While there has been much conjecture online about how Kaling lost weight, she told People in 2023 she had done it with a mix of exercise and eating in moderation.She said she had set herself a goal of hiking or running 32 kilometres a week.&quot;It&#039;s really a big commitment,&quot; she said.I wake up really early and I fit it in – and I basically live in workout clothes so I can get it in, get an extra mile in.&quot;She also lifts weights with her trainer.Kaling has three children; Katherine, known as &#039;Kit&#039;, eight, Spencer, five, and Anne, who is two.She has never disclosed who the father of her children is, but it has long been rumoured that ﻿actor/comedian BJ Novak, her co-star in The Office and former flame, is their dad.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ Nedd Brockmann is just like any other single bloke, dipping his toe into the world of online dating. But during a catch-up with Will and Woody on their KIIS FM show, the ultramarathon runner let slip that he was recently banned from Hinge. The 27-year-old was chatting about his Young Australian of The Year win, and when the hosts cheekily asked if he had included it on his Hinge profile, he let slip about the block. Watch the video above. &quot;I got banned from Hinge,&quot; said Brockmann. &quot;Hear me out. I think someone was claiming that I wasn&#039;t matching and we don&#039;t need go in to this anyway…&quot;Will and Woody were both quick to jump in on this, clearly very interested in the rest of the story.READ MORE: Actress may have just revealed her daughter&#039;s secret nameREAD MORE: Kylie Minogue reveals secret second cancer diagnosisREAD MORE: Katie Price&#039;s video plea as husband remains missing&quot;No, leave it,&quot; he said, clearly flustered, before finally caving and spilling the details. &quot;Let&#039;s quickly clarify this. Hey, listen, I didn&#039;t verify my account on Hinge and someone flagged it saying I was claiming to be me,&quot; he explained. Woody jumped in to share the same thing had happened to him. &quot;I was seriously going on Hinge and people thought I wouldn&#039;t be so desperate to go on Hinge,&quot; he recalled. &quot;So weird. People contacted the radio station being like, &#039;There&#039;s a person masquerading as you,&#039; and then I had to say, &#039;It&#039;s actually me.&#039;&quot;&quot;How embarrassing,&quot; Brockmann quipped back. &quot;I&#039;m in the same boat. I&#039;m like, how desperate are you Nedd? I might write a petition to Hinge. That is desperate…&quot;I was in Perth and I thought, I can&#039;t go to my Instagram to see who&#039;s in Perth. I was like, I better just go and Hinge and see if anyone&#039;s around. Yeah. Anyway, that&#039;s how it was.&quot; Woody wasn&#039;t keen to let it end there and he&#039;s got big plans to get him back on the apps. &quot;I quite seriously want to turn this into a radio arc. Get Brockmann back on Hinge. You know Hinge are up for it,&quot; Woody joked. &quot;I&#039;m going to protest and try and get this interview scrapped from the network,&quot; Brockmann added. Brockmann, who has become a close pal of the Will and Woody show, is an ultramarathon runner and motivational speaker.In 2026 he was named the Young Australian of the Year.The former electrician captured national attention in 2022, when at just 23 he ran from Perth&#039;s Cottesloe Beach to Sydney&#039;s Bondi Beach to shine a spotlight on the complexities of homelessness in Australia.In the years since he has raised millions of dollars for charity, making a real commitment to show Aussies how to make a difference.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<title>Bond&#45;to&#45;be: 10 celebrity names in the mix for Hollywood&amp;apos;s most coveted role as audition process begins</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/bond-to-be-10-celebrity-names-in-the-mix-for-hollywoods-most-coveted-role-as-audition-process-begins</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/bond-to-be-10-celebrity-names-in-the-mix-for-hollywoods-most-coveted-role-as-audition-process-begins</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ It is one of the highest-grossing and longest-running film series of all time, spanning over 60 years, 27 movies and seven actors who have manned the helm as agent 007.Auditions for the role of James Bond are officially underway this week, and the question on everyone&#039;s lips is: which Hollywood heartthrob will be next to stamp their signature on the iconic role?Speculation has been swirling for quite some time, however casting details remain shrouded in secrecy.Watch the video above.﻿In a statement released this week, Amazon MGM Studios confirmed they had at last cast the net out to find their newest Bond.&quot;While we don&#039;t plan to comment on specific details during the casting process, we&#039;re excited to share more news with 007 fans as soon as the time is right,&quot; the statement read.So who will be Daniel Craig&#039;s worthy successor? We took a look at all the notable names in the mix for the seductive spy.READ MORE: Actress may have just revealed her daughter&#039;s secret nameREAD MORE: Kylie Minogue reveals secret second cancer diagnosisREAD MORE: Katie Price&#039;s video plea as husband remains missing1. Aaron Taylor-JohnsonMuch chatter surrounding the Bond-to-be has been centred around enduring favourite Aaron Taylor-Johnson.Long alleged to be a frontrunner in the race to play the titular spy following stand-out performances in Nosferatu (2024) and 28 Years Later (2025), the 32-year-old has now reportedly completed screentests at Pinewood Studios.Some reports have gone as far as to claim Taylor-Johnson has already been ﻿offered the role, but these are unsubstantiated at this stage.Conflicting reports have stated the actor is now &quot;too old,&quot; and that studio execs are looking to cast someone slightly younger.2. Harris DickinsonEnglish actor Harris Dickinson, 29, is a relatively new face in the race, but the rising star has undoubtedly stirred some serious buzz of late.Fresh off the back of a starring role alongside Nicole Kidman in the raunchy 2024 hit Babygirl﻿, and with a smattering of other notably strong performances under his belt, (Where the Crawdads Sing, The Iron Claw and The Triangle of Sadness, to name a few) Dickinson will certainly be one to watch as the race heats up.It has been alleged Dickinson has attended an audition for the role.﻿For a daily dose of 9honey, subscribe to our newsletter here.3. Rege-Jean PageRege-Jean Page – our favourite Duke – seemingly vanished off the face of the earth following his untimely departure from Shonda Rhimes&#039; steamy period romance Bridgerton.But the star, 37, has now reappeared on the scene in spectacular fashion – and he&#039;s not exactly dispelling the Bond rumours with his latest offering.Page is set to star in upcoming American spy thriller Black Bag alongside big names Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender.In fact, a lot of the spy thriller&#039;s cast boast spy-heavy resumes; with former Bond Pierce Brosnan also attached to the project in a leading role.Should Page manage to secure Bond, he&#039;d make history as the first person of colour to stamp his signature on the iconic role – which would be a long overdue freshen-up for the 007 role.4. Callum Turner﻿﻿Known by many as the beau of pop star Dua Lipa, Callum Turner has risen from relative obscurity to become a genuine contender for Agent 007.According to recent reports, ﻿the Emma star, 35, is now the red-hot favourite to succeed Daniel Craig.The charming Brit has allegedly overtaken a number of fellow Bond hopefuls to be considered the current frontrunner, with betting odds reportedly now tipped in his favour.Turner most recently appears alongside Marvel Cinematic Universe alum Elizabeth Olsen and Top Gun: Maverick dish Miles Teller in the film Eternity﻿.Could this relative newcomer be peaking at exactly the right time to strike it big with Bond?﻿5. Theo James﻿The collective crush of every teen in 2014, ﻿Theo James catapulted to stardom through his role as the broody leading man in the Divergent franchise.Though the series was cut short due to a poor box office turnout for it&#039;s final offering,﻿ Allegiant, 40-year-old Theo James has remained firmly in our hearts ever since.In the aftermath of his Divergent debut, James has gone on to star in a spate of notable projects, including The White Lotus, The Time Traveller&#039;s Wife and heist hit The Gentlemen – which arguably has served as a tidy eight-episode audition tape for Bond.James has demonstrated real scope and depth on the silver screen, so could that be enough to land him one of the most lauded big-screen roles of all time?﻿﻿6. Tom HollandCan Tom Holland be Spider-Man AND James Bond in one lifetime? Apparently it&#039;s a distinct possibility.﻿The actor, 29, has had his name attached to countless high-profile projects over the years, and racked up his fair share of adoring fans in that time.However, producers are reportedly looking for prospects with &quot;rising careers&quot; who have not yet achieved household-name status – and Holland, the face of one of the biggest comic book characters of all time, certainly does not fit that criteria.Despite this, he is rumoured to have been among the names to covertly audition for the role.﻿7. Jacob Elordi ﻿We have an Aussie in the mix – though studio execs are unlikely to be outsourcing foreign talent, Jacob Elordi&#039;s name has been thrown around nonetheless﻿.While there&#039;s a lower chance of the iconic role going to a non-Brit, the 28-year-old Elordi has perhaps risen to prominence at just the right time to be considered.Either way, we&#039;re certainly looking forward to seeing him as the broody Heathcliff in Emerald Fennel&#039;s steamy adaptation of Emily Brontë&#039;s classic Wuthering Heights in 2026.﻿8. Jonathan BaileyWho better to man the Bond helm than People&#039;s sexiest man alive?﻿Yet another Bridgerton alum﻿ (although OG fans may recognise him from British murder mystery Broadchurch), Jonathan Bailey has essentially been charming the pants off fans full-time for the the past five years straight – and the latest leg of his Wicked: For Good press tour has been no exception.It&#039;s undeniable he exudes charm and suaveness in spades, but does he possess the chops necessary for Bond&#039;s more gritty, morally ambiguous moments?﻿Well, if Bailey&#039;s performance in queer drama Fellow Travellers is anything to go by, then that would be a resounding yes.He has certainly been trailblazing of late as the first openly gay man to be crowned People&#039;s sexiest – but is the world ready for the first LGBT actor to portray the iconic spy?﻿ We hope so!9. George MacKayPerhaps a lesser-known name, though still oozing oodles of charm, George MacKay has emerged as a strong contender for Bond seemingly overnight.Known best for his heart wrenching performance in World War I epic 1917, 33-year-old ﻿MacKay has been the subject of online Bond speculation in recent weeks.Admittedly, the rumours surrounding MacKay have been more akin to internet casting than any legitimate noise from studio execs.The actor has revealed that he has not yet been approached about the role, but has said that should casting come knocking, he&#039;d certainly consider throwing his hat in the ring.10. Paul Mescal﻿His is the name on everyone&#039;s lips recently.Paul Mescal rose to superstardom following his raw portrayal of the complicated﻿ Connell Waldron in the television adaptation of Sally Rooney&#039;s bestseller Normal People.Since then, he&#039;s well and truly made a name for himself, racking up awards nominations for various performances and solidifying himself as true leading man material.And his name is now frequently featured featured amongst betting odds and fan discussions alike, with his recent role in Gladiator 2 triggering a surge of speculation about him taking on the iconic role.Additional honourable mentions in the mix – though likely ruled out due to the studio&#039;s reported preference for younger faces – include Superman﻿ alum Henry Cavill, Idris Elba, Tom Hardy and Richard Madden.We are all undoubtedly waiting with bated breath for the next James Bond to be officially crowned – but unfortunately, we may be waiting a while longer.Acclaimed filmmaker Denis Villeneuve has been attached to direct the project, ﻿which is tentatively slated for a 2028 release.And while the casting process has only just begun, the wider creative team behind the next film has been taking shape over the past several months.Amy Pascal and David Heyman are set to produce via Pascal Pictures and Heyday Films, respectively, while Steven Knight of Peaky Blinders and House of Guinness fame will write the script.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ B﻿oy Meets World stars William Daniels, 99, and Bonnie Bartlett, 96, have detailed the rules of their &quot;open marriage&quot; as they approach 75 years together.Bartlett said while the pair had both stepped outside the marriage at times, it wasn&#039;t something that they planned. ﻿&quot;It&#039;s funny, the press will pick up on something and make more of it than it was,&quot; she said in an interview with the Daily Mail.&quot;There was never any discussion as to what we were going to do, but in 75 years, the two of you together, you know, it would be abnormal if you…weren&#039;t attracted occasionally to other people.&quot;The actress first wrote about the pair&#039;s relationship in her 2023 memoir, Middle of the Rainbow. ﻿She and Daniels, known for playing Mr Feeny on the beloved sitcom Boy Meets World﻿, first met in 1948.Bartlett added that the pair never actually decided they were going to have an open relationship.READ MORE: Carrie Bickmore&#039;s new health fears in radio returnREAD MORE: Kylie Minogue recalls Michael Hutchence relationshipREAD MORE: Actor breaks silence on co-star&#039;s memoir allegations&quot;Bill and I never sit down and make rules,&quot; she said. &quot;We never sit down and talk about these things.

And if he&#039;s away for a year, he&#039;s away for a year.&quot;Our lives just went on, but we never got unhinged … We never got unhinged, but our lives did go in different directions occasionally.&quot;However, the actress, who starred in both Boy Meets World and The Little House on the Prairie, had previously referred to the couple having an &quot;open marriage,&quot; saying that it was &quot;very painful&quot; and &quot;didn&#039;t work well.&quot;&quot;And it was a time when people were doing that,&quot; she said.&quot;It was at a time in New York when there was a lot of sex and a lot of people doing all kinds of things, you know – very free.&quot;She confessed that she had an affair that &quot;lasted a few months&quot; with an actor in 1959, eight years into her marriage with Daniels.Daniels also had a relationship with a producer ﻿in the &#039;70s, which Bartlett said &quot;devastated her,&quot; leading to the realisation that she &quot;could no longer tolerate any kind of open marriage.&quot;The actress confessed that she almost couldn&#039;t believe the couple ﻿have been together for 75 years.&quot;You don&#039;t plan for it. You really don&#039;t plan for it,&quot; she said.&quot;I&#039;m not at all romantic or anything like that. I&#039;m a big believer in today, you know? And then all of a sudden it&#039;s 75 years.

<description><![CDATA[ ANALYSIS: For the past week, thousands of Eurovision fans have decorated the cobblestone streets of Austria&#039;s capital.Sequins, glitter and eccentric outfits have been on full display, along with flags from countries all over Europe.But there is another nation from a continent far away that&#039;s captured hearts here.Watch the video above.﻿As I walk through crowds at Eurovision Village, holding the Australian flag high, people stop me at every turn.They love Australia. They love Delta Goodrem. They love her song Eclipse.For a contest that has &#039;Euro&#039; in the name, it does seem strange Australia is allowed to compete.READ MORE: Call Her Daddy host&#039;s huge family newsREAD MORE: Boxing legend Tyson Fury&#039;s daughter weds aged 16READ MORE: Delta Goodrem misses out on Eurovision crownOur artists perform on the Eurovision stage thanks to a technicality: SBS is an associate member of the European Broadcasting Union.Over the past 11 years, some of our country&#039;s biggest talents have travelled to this side of the world to compete against Europe&#039;s best.First it was Guy Sebastian, then Dami Im almost won, and now Delta Goodrem has secured our best result in a decade, finishing in fourth place.In the lead-up to the Grand Final, many people I spoke to believed Delta should win based on her powerful performance.I asked European fans how they would feel if the iconic glass microphone trophy was taken Down Under and they not only welcomed it, they hoped it would happen. They all want a reason to fork out for a trip to our sunburnt country.Unfortunately, even if Delta won, we wouldn&#039;t be allowed to host the contest in Australia due to logistics, the time zone difference, and because we&#039;re not a full member of the EBU.But the fact these fans would be willing not just to accept an Australian win, but to champion one, says everything you need to know about this community.It is full of joy, love and acceptance. My cheeks hurt from smiling so much.Eurovision was created 70 years ago to unite a war-torn continent through the power of music.Now, in a world again facing uncertain times, people from all walks of life have come together to celebrate extraordinary talent.Delta Goodrem has made us proud in Vienna, but there would be no Eurovision without the dedicated fans, who this year again embraced exceptional Aussie talent.Hannah Sinclair is Nine Network&#039;s Europe Correspondent and was on the ground in Vienna for Eurovision 2026.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

With Tucci rocking a full head of brown hair, it&#039;s certainly a different look than we now know the star for.Watch the video at the top of the page.﻿The actor got his first awards season nod in 2009, being nominated the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in The Lovely Bones. Despite receiving so many accolades for the role, it was one his late wife didn&#039;t want him to take on. Kathryn Spath, whom Tucci was married to from 1995 until her death in 2009, warned him off the project after reading the tragic novel that inspired the film. He refused to listen to her and was cast as sinister neighbour George Harvey, starring alongside Mark Wahlberg, Susan Sarandon and Saoirse Ronan.&quot;I hadn&#039;t read the book, but my wife read the book and when I got the script, she said, &#039;You can&#039;t do that&#039;,&quot; Tucci said.&quot;I read the script and then later I read the book, but I couldn&#039;t focus on the book in its entirety, it&#039;s just too painful.&quot;Tucci admitted he struggled to actually finish the book because of the graphic nature of the rape and murder in the story. Despite his nominations, he didn&#039;t win any awards for the role.Tucci did, however, win the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie for his portrayal of Walter Winchell in the HBO film Winchell 1998.TV has been a major element of his career, with Tucci starring in series including legal drama Murder One from 1995-1997, Ryan Murphy&#039;s 2017 limited series Feud: Bette &amp; Joan and 2018 drama Limetown to name a few. While his career was well underway, it was his role in The Devil Wears Prada in 2006 that really catapulted him to big success. The film became a cult-favourite hit, and was followed by roles in Julie &amp; Julia in 2009, Easy A in 2010, The Hunger Games series from 2012 to 2015 and, of course, the new Devil Wears Prada sequel. The original film was a pivotal moment in not only Tucci&#039;s career, but his personal life. His co-star Emily Blunt introduced him to her sister, Felicity Blunt. The pair went on to tie the knot in 2012 and welcomed two children, son Matteo and daughter Emilia. Tucci also shares two children with his late wife Kate, twins Isabel and Nicolo and daughter Camilla.Kate, a social worker, died of breast cancer at age 47 in 2009﻿. The couple had been married for 14 years.&quot;It is not easy to find somebody who is going to take on three teenagers and a widower,&quot; Tucci said in a 2017 interview with The Guardian.&quot;That&#039;s a lot. But [Felicity] was willing to take on that challenge. She cares for the kids as if they are her own, and it is a tough role, being a step-parent.&quot;As their family grew, Tucci&#039;s career didn&#039;t stop – in fact, it began going in an exciting new direction.Audiences got a taste of the real Tucci in 2021 when he hosted the food and travel docu-series Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy. He won two consecutive Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Hosted Nonfiction Series. Tucci has also written numerous books, including a cookbook and memoirs revolving around the role of food in his life.﻿The second season of Tucci in Italy recently hit streaming platforms, and follows the actor, who is of Italian descent, as he explores the country and cuisine. Throughout Season 2, a lot of the dishes are described as &quot;poor cuisine&quot; by the people making it, which is something Tucci appreciates the most about this style of food. &quot;All of Italian cuisine is &#039;poor cuisine.&#039; All of it. There are only five to 10 ingredients in any Italian dish, for the most part,&quot; he told National Geographic. &quot;If you look at pasta alla norma in Sicily, which has tomato, garlic, onions, basil, eggplant, ricotta salata, and pasta, that&#039;s like seven ingredients, and it&#039;s one of the most delicious things in the world.&quot; Tucci explained Italians still eat through what is most available seasonally, and the method really is one of &quot;if it ain&#039;t broke, don&#039;t fix it. As for his perfect day in Italy, well, it involves skiing, fishing and cooking. FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have one of the most enduring relationships in Hollywood.While romantic relationships come and go – including Affleck&#039;s marriages to Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Lopez– the bond of these childhood friends has stood the test of time.Damon has been a constant presence in Affleck&#039;s life since well before they became two of Hollywood&#039;s biggest stars, and they recently worked together on their new film, The Rip.But with the police officers who inspired the film now suing the pair&#039;s production company, they will need to lean on each other like never before. ﻿A childhood bond﻿The pair met as children while growing up in Cambridge, Massachusetts.Despite Damon being two years older, the two bonded over their difficult childhoods and shared interest in acting.READ MORE: New book delves into disappearance of singer&#039;s former loveREAD MORE: Actor&#039;s widow marks three months since cancer deathREAD MORE: Paul Walker&#039;s daughter honours his memory in CannesDamon&#039;s parents divorced when he was two and his mother took him and his older brother to live in a share house. Meanwhile Affleck, whose father was an alcoholic, began acting professionally at seven.Affleck told Parade that after changing schools at eight, he found himself with no friends, so started hanging out with Damon, who lived two blocks away.Soon they had bonded over their shared love of acting. Affleck had started acting professionally from the age of seven, while Damon took it up at high school.&quot;Matt gave acting a framework, an integration into the social hierarchy at school,&quot; Affleck once said.&quot;Before Matt, I was by myself. Acting was a solo activity where I&#039;d just go off and do something, act in a little TV show or something, and no one understood it.&quot;None of the other kids knew what it was I did, how it worked, or anything.&quot;All of a sudden I had this friend, Matt, and he gets it and wants to do it and thinks it&#039;s interesting and wants to talk about it.&quot;While students at Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, they appeared in high school plays together, although Damon often said the best parts went to his friend.By the time Affleck was 14 and Damon was 16, the two would fly or take the train to New York City for auditions.After high school, Damon went off to study at Harvard University. Two years later, it was Affleck&#039;s turn to graduate and he in turn went off to university in Vermont.From college to Hollywood﻿It was during his time at Harvard that Damon wrote a story for one of his classes, which was the early screenplay of the film Good Will Hunting.He asked Affleck to perform the scenes with him in front of the class.Damon later moved in with Affleck, who had relocated to LA, and they began working on what would be an Academy Award winning screenplay, which they completed when they were 22 and 20 respectively.By the time Good Will Hunting was made, the two had enough acting credits to win starring roles in the film, which went on to become a huge success.Few will forget the moment the two friends went on stage in 1998 to receive their Oscars for best original screenplay. Affleck was just 25 and Damon was 27.Professional partnershipSince then, the two have continued to work together, even forming their own production companies.They collaborated on the 2021 action thriller The Last Duel.Then in 2022, they formed Artists Equity.Its first film was 2023&#039;s Air, about the 1984 shoe deal between Nike and Michael Jordan, which they co-starred in.Damon told GQ in 2025 he vowed to keep collaborating with his best friend after watching the Peter Jackson 2021 Beatles documentary Get Back.The final title card of the film said the band never worked together again, something Damon said brought him to tears as his thoughts turned to Affleck.&quot;Who cares if we oversaturate the marketplace with movies we&#039;re both in?&quot; Damon said.&quot;We&#039;re crazy if we don&#039;t take advantage of the fact that we are both still here and able to do this.&quot;&#039;Most significant partnerships&#039;During a 2023 interview on Sunday Today, Damon called Affleck one of the &quot;three most significant partnerships in my life&quot;.In 2024, the two shared a touching moment together when Affleck snuck up to surprise Damon as he was sitting at a table with wife Luciana Barroso at the Golden Globe Awards.﻿Later that year, ﻿Damon admitted he &#039;can&#039;t imagine&#039; what it was like for Affleck to live under such intense spotlight.For a daily dose of 9honey, subscribe to our newsletter here. ﻿&quot;I&#039;ve been really lucky in that way… I can&#039;t imagine living under that kind of scrutiny,&quot; he said on the Radio Times Podcast.Friends for lifeDuring a joint appearance on The Howard Stern Show in January 2026, they reflected on the importance of having a friend by their side when they first found stardom in the &#039;90s.&quot;Your evolution gets kind of stunted at the moment you become famous because the world treats you differently,&quot; Damon said.&quot;I think we were lucky in that we were 25 and 27, so we had a handful of years under our belt where we would walk into a room and not turn any heads.&quot;Affleck said going through it together definitely helped.&quot;That&#039;s kind of why we&#039;re as sane as we are – to what degree, you may be the judge!&quot; Affleck joked.&quot;But getting famous and successful kind of together, [we had] somebody to turn to and go, &#039;Is this f---ing nuts, or what?&#039;&quot;Shoulder to cry on﻿When news broke in April 2024 that Affleck had separated from J.Lo after less than two years of marriage, Damon helped pick up the pieces.During their interview with Stern, the host asked Damon if he was there for his friend, who was seated beside him, during his highly-publicised marriage breakdowns and battle with the bottle, which resulted in at least two stints in rehab.&quot;Oh, yeah, our relationship isn&#039;t affected by what people are saying,&quot; Damon said, &quot;I was there for all of it.&quot;A clearly emotional Affleck then responded, &quot;That means a lot to me. That&#039;s sort of what a real friend is&quot;.The Rip and lawsuit﻿Their latest film The Rip, which premiered on Netflix in January, was produced by Damon and Affleck via their production company, Artists Equity.They also starred in the film as police officers from the Miami-Dade Police Department narcotics unit.﻿ Damon played Lieutenant Dane Dumars and Affleck played Detective Sergeant JD Byrne.The action thriller is inspired by the true story of a 2016 narcotics raid that uncovered almost $22 million in hidden cash.The film builds suspense via the &#039;guess who?&#039; style that leaves you wondering if someone is a dirty cop.Spoiler alert: Neither character is dirty, but the real-life Miami police officers who inspired the film are now suing them for defamation.The complaint names Artists Equity and co-producer Falco Pictures.Jonathon Santana and Jason Smith claim The Rip unfairly damaged their reputation by falsely portraying them as corrupt police officers, according to 7 News Miami.The officers allege the thriller borrowed heavily from their case while depicting officers engaged in theft, cartel dealings and murder.Santana, a deputy for the Miami-Dade Sheriff&#039;s office, told the outlet: &quot;When you rip something, you&#039;re stealing something. We never stole a dollar&quot;.They are seeking unspecified damages for defamation, defamation by implication and intentional infliction of emotional distress.According to the lawsuit, Santana and Smith say people who knew about the investigation easily connected them to the fictional characters in the film. ﻿Santana said while ﻿he used to be celebrated for being one of the two officers credited with solving the Miami Lakes drug case, he&#039;s now teased.&quot;Pretty much saying, you know, how many buckets of money did I steal?&quot; he said.Santana&#039;s attorney, Ignacio Alvarez told the publication: ﻿&quot;They portrayed police officers as dirty, they portrayed my clients as dirty. Now their reputations are hurt&quot;.&quot;My clients are now hurt for the rest of their lives with everybody [perceiving] that they&#039;re dirty.&quot;The film was shot mostly in Hialeah, Florida, and the city&#039;s mayor Bryan Calvo﻿ told 7 News Miami the film was &quot;a slap in the face to our law enforcement personnel&quot;.﻿&quot;If you have never been to Hialeah, if you live somewhere else in this country and you see this film, I wouldn&#039;t want to come here, and that&#039;s a problem.&quot;﻿﻿﻿﻿FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ Delta Goodrem has brought the house down in her grand final performance at Eurovision 2026, putting her on the cusp of an ﻿historic victory before she fell agonisingly short.Goodrem sang the power ballad Eclipse﻿ in a show-stopping performance that featured bright lights and a wind machine.The singer was second favourite to win in the final in Vienna on Saturday night (Sunday morning AEST).One of Delta&#039;s first moves after finishing her performance was to call Today entertainment editor Richard Wilkins.&quot;She&#039;s such a sweetheart, she says, &#039;Did I do all right?&#039;,&quot; Wilkins said.&quot;She&#039;s sang the song a thousand times and she finds something new in it every time.&quot;What I think she has done is the performance of her career so far... This takes her to a whole new level.&quot;In the video call with Delta, Wilkins told her, &quot;you&#039;re the Matildas, you&#039;re Cathy Freeman... the whole of the country is just holding its breath and sending its love, it&#039;s incredible.&quot;She replied, &quot;Oh thank you, I felt everybody with me in this entire journey and I just wanted to make everybody proud and do what I do.&quot;The crowd was insane, they were chanting my name as they came out and I was like, how many people flew from Australia... it was definitely a lot of love.&quot;UK star Graham Norton, who was reporting from the ground, confirmed the same thing.Watching the crowd, he said, &quot;If the audience could crown a winner right now, they would give it Australia. I hope her star power doesn&#039;t go against her,&quot; as per the Liverpool Echo.Aussies cheered her on from home, including former Aussie representative Dami Im who took the stage in 2016.&quot;COME ON YOU&#039;VE GOT THIS﻿,&quot; Im encouraged her fellow Eurovision representative.GoJo, Australia&#039;s contestant from last year, said, &quot;YOUVE GOT IT IN THE BAG!!!❤️﻿&quot;One of the biggest messages of support she received was from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese yesterday afternoon.&quot;Good luck at the Eurovision Grand Final, Delta,&quot; he posted on X.﻿&quot;You&#039;ve already made Australia proud. We&#039;ll all be cheering you on.&quot;TAB has the Aussie songstress and her banger Eclipse placed second-best to win behind Finland&#039;s Linda Lampenius and Pete Parkkonen with their song Liekinheitin.Sportsbet also has Australia pegged as second to win, with odds at four to one.Finland is the favourite - most likely because Australia has never won Eurovision before, and the very idea of our non-European nation winning makes some fans of the song contest squirm.Either way, the whole nation is backing Goodrem after her incredible performance in the semi-final ﻿sent her flying into the finals.She made it to the Grand Final alongside countries including Malta, Denmark, Norway, Albania and Cyprus.﻿Other countries in the Grand Final include Ukraine, Bulgaria and Romania.The &quot;big four&quot; automatically in the Grand Final are France, Germany, Italy, the UK.﻿﻿The betting companies aren&#039;t the only ones who think Goodrem is in with ﻿a chance to win, with fans flooding social media proclaiming she&#039;s our best chance of &quot;bringing it home&quot; since Dami Im&#039;s performance of The Sound of Silence in 2016, which put her in second place.Nine.com.au spoke to Goodrem in an exclusive chat right before she jetted off to Vienna to represent Australia in the song contest. ﻿The Eclipse singer said she &quot;loved&quot; all the positivity around her entry.&quot;I love it, I love the passion, the positivity,&quot; she told nine.com.au.&quot;I&#039;m gonna take all this incredible good energy and vibes with me and fly over to Vienna with it all.&quot; ﻿Traditionally, the winner of Eurovision hosts the following year&#039;s contest in their home country.However, Eurovision has said that if Australia were to win, it wouldn&#039;t be able to host the concert Down Under.Instead, SBS would co-host the broadcast in collaboration with another European broadcaster.However, Goodrem said that if she were to win, ﻿she thinks they should make an exception.﻿We&#039;d be an amazing host,&quot; she said.&quot;Everyone coming to Australia, we&#039;ve got the most beautiful country, we&#039;d be great ... we&#039;d put on an incredible hosting.&quot;The singer said she ﻿pays no attention to such remarks.&quot;I think that we saw was an awesome music show ... I&#039;m really happy that we&#039;re a part of it. We&#039;re there for a great time, and we give it a go!&quot; she said.&quot;When [Eurovision] had seen how involved Australia was when it came to getting involved with the contest from a far, it made logical sense [to invite us].&quot;I think we&#039;re the only country part of it that&#039;s not part of Europe … we&#039;re always visiting anyway!&quot;FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ Exclusive: &quot;﻿I&#039;ve done that as well,&quot; I tell Outlander&#039;s Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe as we discuss the online trend of the series&#039; fans placing their hands on standing stones in an effort to travel through time, like Balfe&#039;s character Claire Fraser.&quot;Did it work?&quot; Heughan, 46, shoots back, adding to Balfe, also 46: &quot;Well, we&#039;re here now, I suppose, so yeah!&quot;&quot;I&#039;m in a Zoom [with you guys], so there might be something to it,&quot; I joke.Watch the video above.﻿The pair are bracing for the hit show&#039;s final episode, the season eight finale, to hit screens – and it&#039;s been a long time coming.Outlander, based on author Diana Gabaldon&#039;s book series, began filming in Scotland in 2013 and filming wrapped back in 2024. ﻿It&#039;s been more than a decade of their lives, a total of &#039;12 years&#039; and an incredible 101 episodes.The stars agree it feels &quot;surreal&quot; the show&#039;s ending is well and truly here.READ MORE: &#039;Delta&#039;s Eurovision success is the tonic we all need right now&#039;﻿READ MORE: Hollywood couple reveals pregnancy on Cannes red carpet﻿READ MORE: &#039;One word from Pip Edwards will forever change how I get ready&#039;﻿&quot;﻿It probably is the longest goodbye, but it&#039;s finally here and it&#039;s mixed emotions, all those great memories we&#039;ve had,&quot; Scottish actor Heughan tells nine.com.au.&quot;I&#039;m excited for people to see it.&quot;﻿Balfe is glad Outlander fans will finally have access to the show in its entirety.&quot;They have stuck with us through thick and thin, and so many &#039;droughtlanders&#039;,&quot; she says, referencing the fandom&#039;s nickname for the waiting periods, or &#039;droughts&#039;, between seasons.&quot;You just want them to have the 101 episodes in their entirety, to be able to enjoy them in whatever way they want,&quot; she says.When it comes to farewelling their iconic characters, highland warrior Jamie Fraser and surgeon Claire Fraser, Heughan admits he was ready.&quot;I think we both had our own ways of saying goodbye, but I think we had to say goodbye. It was hard,&quot; he says.&quot;Even just the schedule or the routine of going to work every day and seeing the same people, it&#039;s like a divorce ... suddenly you&#039;re in a completely different place and you&#039;re not seeing the people that you care about and have spent the last 12 years with.&quot;I think, yes, I&#039;m ready. Not that I don&#039;t love Jamie, or I don&#039;t love the job, but everything changes.&quot;I think it&#039;s good to move on, and we gave some great years to the show and I&#039;m very, very proud of it.&quot;Balfe says she went to a retreat as she bade farewell to the role that changed her life.&quot;I went away and I did a retreat last year, and I think I was able to sort of let go and release Claire in that way,&quot; the Irish actress says.&quot;I guess, in that kind of very personal way when you were playing a character ... she&#039;ll always be a part of my life, and she&#039;ll always be a part of my story.&quot;We have lives and we&#039;ve moved on in other aspects. It&#039;s been a privilege ... you get to take the good with you.&quot;For a daily dose of 9honey, subscribe to our newsletter here.So how has their friendship and bond changed now they&#039;re no longer on set after all these years? ﻿&quot;It&#039;s probably better now, in a way,&quot; Balfe says.&quot;Something that&#039;s come out of the show is I&#039;ve got an amazing friend in Caitriona,&quot; Heughan adds.&quot;Now that the show&#039;s gone, it gives us more space [to bond outside of the show].&quot;&quot;When you know you&#039;re going to see somebody every day, you&#039;re not making effort, and I think now it&#039;s so nice when we get to come together and hang out,&quot; Balfe adds.&quot;I think our friendship has grown in this way. It&#039;s very dear and special to me.&quot;﻿&quot;The gift that Outlander gave us,&quot; Heughan adds.﻿In the final season, Balfe particularly likes the storyline of beloved characters Ian Fraser Murray and Rachel.&quot;That was really beautiful. It was really lovely to see someone like [actor] John Bell, who started as such a kid on our show, and he&#039;s grown up and he&#039;s such a fine actor,&quot; she says.Heughan and Balfe promised some of their favourite and most romantic love lines will be aired in the finale, and shared a final message to Outlander fans: Thank you.&quot;What an amazing fandom ... they are the most passionate, they are the most involved, and we love them and we&#039;re so grateful,&quot; Balfe says.&quot;We want to thank them for all the years of support. Now you can go back and binge it all from the beginning,&quot; Heughan finishes with a chuckle.The final episode to the epic historical time-jumping love story of Jamie and Claire Fraser premieres May 16 on BINGE.

<description><![CDATA[ David Beckham just became the UK&#039;s first billionaire sportsman.The former captain of the England football team, 51, and his wife, Victoria Beckham, 52, hit billionaire status ﻿as their combined wealth has hit £1.185 billion ($2.2 billion), according to the Sunday Times Rich List.David&#039;s wealth comes from a number of different sources.The footballer is a co-owner of the American football club Inter Miami﻿, estimated to be worth $US1.4 billion ($1.9 billion).He&#039;s also a brand ambassador for brands like Adidas and Hugo Boss, which pays extremely well.Meanwhile, Victoria Beckham first made a pretty penny in The Spice Girls, before creating her own personal fashion and beauty brands, where she made most of her wealth.The latest ranking puts the family in second place on the list of the richest UK sports-related people.READ MORE: &#039;Delta&#039;s Eurovision success is the tonic we all need right now&#039;﻿READ MORE: Hollywood couple reveals pregnancy on Cannes red carpet﻿READ MORE: &#039;One word from Pip Edwards will forever change how I get ready&#039;﻿While Beckham is the first sportsman to hit billionaire status, the couple&#039;s wealth puts them second to the ﻿family of ex-Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone, whose wealth comes in at £2 billion.The massive milestone for the Beckhams ﻿comes after a year of wealth growth in the midst of a family breakdown.The falling out between David, Victoria and their eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, has dominated headlines over the past year.Just last week, Victoria inadvertently hit back at Brooklyn&#039;s claim that she had &quot;controlled narratives&quot; about him and the family his &quot;whole life&quot; while on Emma Grede&#039;s Aspire podcast.When talking about raising her children in the spotlight, Victoria told Grede ﻿her children &quot;had a very different upbringing&quot; from her and husband David Beckham.&quot;I&#039;ve always wanted to be the best mum I could be and look after the kids, but I also feel that it&#039;s been part of my job to really help them fulfil their full potential and for them to recognise what their sense of purpose is,&quot; she said.&quot;﻿Anything that I could do to support [them], to encourage, and to help ... that&#039;s my job as his mum.&quot;It&#039;s never about being pushy or forcing. It&#039;s being there to support.&quot;Victoria stayed silent for weeks following Brooklyn&#039;s bombshell statement earlier this year, in which he claimed his family constantly mistreated his wife Nicola Peltz-Beckham.However, she&#039;s recently been ramping up her interview and press appearances.Meanwhile, Brooklyn has stayed silent ﻿but has continued missing major family events.Brooklyn and Nicola both skipped David&#039;s milestone 50th celebrations last May.In the months since there were rumours circulating of a family feud, which Brooklyn confirmed in a blistering six-page statement he released on social media in January.Brooklyn made several claims about his parents, from allegations of what really happened on his wedding day to claims they controlled him and shared &quot;performative social media posts.&quot;Reports have also emerged that Brooklyn and Nicola have engaged lawyers to tell his parents the only way they will communicate is through them.Despite the legal letter, David and Victoria have both sent public messages to their son, including social media posts to wish him a happy birthday in March.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ D﻿elta Goodrem is in with a good chance to win Eurovision 2026, according to online betting sites.TAB has the Aussie songstress and her pop-banger Eclipse placed second-best to win behind Finland﻿&#039;s Linda Lampenius and Pete Parkkonen with their song, Liekinheitin.Meanwhile, ﻿Sportsbet also has Australia pegged second to win, with odds at four to one.Finland is the favourite - most likely because Australia has never won Eurovision before, and the very idea of our non-European nation winning makes some fans of the song contest squirm.Either way, the whole nation is backing Goodrem after her incredible performance in the semi-final ﻿sent her flying into the finals, which are taking place tomorrow morning.She made it to the Grand Final alongside countries including Malta, Denmark, Norway, Albania and Cyprus.﻿Other countries in the Grand Final include Ukraine, Bulgaria and Romania.The &quot;big four&quot; automatically in the Grand Final are France, Germany, Italy, the UK.﻿﻿The betting companies aren&#039;t the only ones who think Goodrem is in with ﻿a chance to win, with fans flooding social media proclaiming she&#039;s our best chance of &quot;bringing it home&quot; since Dami Im&#039;s performance of The Sound of Silence in 2016, which put her in second place.Nine.com.au spoke to Goodrem in an exclusive chat right before she jetted off to Vienna to represent Australia in the song contest. ﻿The Eclipse singer said she &quot;loved&quot; all the positivity around her entry.&quot;I love it, I love the passion, the positivity,&quot; she told nine.com.au.&quot;I&#039;m gonna take all this incredible good energy and vibes with me and fly over to Vienna with it all.&quot; ﻿Traditionally, the winner of Eurovision hosts the following year&#039;s contest in their home country.However, Eurovision has said that if Australia were to win, it wouldn&#039;t be able to host the concert Down Under.Instead, SBS would co-host the broadcast in collaboration with another European broadcaster.However, Goodrem said that if she were to win, ﻿she thinks they should make an exception.﻿We&#039;d be an amazing host,&quot; she said.&quot;Everyone coming to Australia, we&#039;ve got the most beautiful country, we&#039;d be great ... we&#039;d put on an incredible hosting.&quot;The singer said she ﻿pays no attention to such remarks.&quot;I think that we saw was an awesome music show ... I&#039;m really happy that we&#039;re a part of it. We&#039;re there for a great time, and we give it a go!&quot; she said.&quot;When [Eurovision] had seen how involved Australia was when it came to getting involved with the contest from a far, it made logical sense [to invite us].&quot;I think we&#039;re the only country part of it that&#039;s not part of Europe … we&#039;re always visiting anyway!&quot;FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

Congratulations you beautiful mama.&quot;&quot;﻿Biggest congratulations beautiful xxxx,&quot; added Bec Judd.Rogers openly documented ﻿her pregnancy journey via social media in the leadup to the birth, previously revealing she&#039;d been &quot;dreaming&quot; of such a moment all her life.&quot;One day you&#039;re dreaming of having a baby, wondering if it will ever happen to you,&quot; she said in a Tiktok post at 39 weeks.&quot;The next, you&#039;re passing time by painting a bookshelf for his nursery, counting down the days until you meet your little boy.&quot;She largely credits how supported she felt over the past nine months to her partner.She also shared a sweet post dedicated to all the ways he had &quot;shown up&quot; for her during the pregnancy.&quot;Some of these things might seem small, but to me they have felt really big,&quot; she wrote online.&quot;Every woman deserves to feel supported through pregnancy.

<description><![CDATA[ Sydney Sweeney and newly confirmed boyfriend Scooter Braun were filmed getting cosy in Queensland just weeks after hard-launching their long-rumoured romance.The Euphoria star, 28, and controversial music executive, 44, packed on the PDA as Sweeney shared a sweet video montage during her time Down Under.Watch the video above.﻿The Hollywood actress, who&#039;s currently on the Gold Coast filming, spent a romantic trip with Braun on stunning Hamilton Island.The new video posted to socials gave fans a glimpse into exactly what the A-list couple got up to, while wearing matching Hamilton Island jumpers.In a one clip Braun, who is known for his famous feud with Taylor Swift, cuddled up to Sweeney as the pair enjoyed a dreamy beach sunset.Sweeney held Braun&#039;s hand as the couple took in spectacular Heart Reef while enjoying a private helicopter and boat tour.READ MORE:﻿ Sophie Monk&#039;s &#039;weird&#039; bathroom rule even husband &#039;won&#039;t do&#039;READ MORE:﻿ Paul Walker&#039;s daughter honours his legacy with Fast and Furious reunionREAD MORE:﻿ Broder agents reveal reason Adam Hyde was refused US re-entryWearing snug wetsuits the pair took turns jumping off the boat and into the ocean, before snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef.Another shot showed the pair posing for a selfie with the reef&#039;s vibrant turquoise water in the background. ﻿In true Aussie style the new couple were also seen getting up close with koalas in one of the local wildlife parks.In their matching Hamilton Island hoodies, the loved-up couple took a photo in one of the dingo attractions. ﻿The Anyone But You actress hard-launched ﻿her relationship with Braun early this month after months of speculation.The pair first sparked romance rumours in June 2025 after meeting at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez&#039; wedding.The two were then photographed in New York City together months later, but were most recently seen dancing together at the April 2026 Stagecoach festival.A carousel of photos Sweeney shared from the event marked Braun&#039;s debut on her Instagram.&quot;A ﻿cowboy kind of weekend,&quot; the caption read.Before Braun, Sweeney was engaged to businessman Jonathan Davino. The pair were in a long-term relationship from 2018 until their engagement ended in March 2025.The relationship has raised eyebrows because Braun is known to be a controversial figure in the music industry.The producer, who has worked with the likes of Justin Bieber, Kanye West, Usher and Ariana Grande, first waded into hot water when he purchased the record company Big Machine Label Group, which owned the rights to the majority of Taylor Swift&#039;s back catalogue.He later sold Swift&#039;s catalogue to Shamrock Capital, despite allegedly knowing she wanted to acquire it – a move that prompted the singer to begin re-recording her old songs before finally reclaiming her original masters in 2025.﻿Braun has also reportedly cut ties with several musicians over the years, including Bieber and Grande.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ Christopher Nolan has defended his decision to include controversial rap figure Travis Scott in his adaptation of The Odyssey, after the casting drew considerable backlash.Speaking to Time, the acclaimed filmmaker addressed the controversy directly, unpacking the creative choices behind the casting.Nolan revealed that he had opted to involve the Astroworld rapper as a nod to oral tradition – from which the tale of The Odyssey and rap as an art form first stemmed.&quot;I wanted to nod towards the idea that this story has been handed down as oral poetry, which is analogous to rap,&quot; the Inception filmmaker elaborated.The rapper&#039;s involvement in the project was first revealed back in January, when his character was shown in an exclusive TV spot.&quot;A war, a man, a trick – a trick to break the walls of Troy,&quot; Scott, depicting a bard, is heard shouting in the clip over shots of Odysseus&#039; role in the Trojan War.Upon the release of the teaser, viewers quickly took to social media to give their two cents on his casting﻿ – and they certainly did not hold back.READ MORE: You&#039;ve never seen this Aussie household name like this beforeREAD MORE: Footy star forced to hit back at troll amid cancer fightREAD MORE: Legendary &#039;80s singer ﻿resuscitated after cardiac arrest&quot;Nolan does not know what he&#039;s doing anymore or he really really really wants an Oscar for this &#039;film,&#039;&quot; one person tweeted following the news of Scott&#039;s role in the movie.&quot;If you thought the bomb in Oppenheimer was big – you ain&#039;t seen nothing yet,&quot; commented another. One person labelled the rapper&#039;s casting as &quot;pretentious.&quot;Another viewer, however, pointed out that Nolan and Scott were already past collaborators, having previously worked together on a song for the director&#039;s 2020 sci-fi thriller Tenet.The filmmaker is widely renowned for the accuracy of his various adaptations – even revealing that he&#039;d hired an expert team to ensure the adaptation was as close to the source material as possible.Based on the ancient Greek poem attributed to Homer, The Odyssey tells the mythological story surrounding the aftermath of the Trojan War. ﻿The film is said to be told through a non-linear structure, with Nolan explaining that the original poem starts halfway through the story.It is also expected to follow a dual narrative structure﻿, flipping between Odysseus and his journey home and Telemachus and his battle to protect his father&#039;s throne back in Ithaca.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<title>Shock as Boy George eliminated from Eurovision just shy of finals</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/shock-as-boy-george-eliminated-from-eurovision-just-shy-of-finals</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ S﻿tar singer and surprise Eurovision hopeful Boy George has been eliminated from the titular song writing contest.Appearing alongside fellow San Marino representative Senhit, the &#039;80s music icon and the Italian-born singer performed the song they co-wrote to raucous reception.Donning a variation of his signature oversized hat and emerging on a glittering throne – the theatrics were sadly not enough to secure the necessary votes for the pair to progress.Though they failed to secure the tiny nation a place in Saturday&#039;s showpiece, George met the disappointing news with a smile and a wave.Senhit, 46, was just as gracious in defeat after what was her fourth failed Eurovision title attempt.Taking to social media platform X, Boy George expressed his disappointment at having lost out on a place in the ﻿finals, but thanked his fans for their support nonetheless.&quot;If you voted for us, thank you so much,&quot; the Culture Club frontman began the post.EXCLUSIVE: &#039;I told Delta what fans were saying about her Eurovision debut&#039;READ MORE:﻿ &#039;Dismissive and callous&#039;: Dua Lipa sues Samsung for millionsREAD MORE: Reality star&#039;s daughter&#039;s &#039;heart is shattered&#039; after tragic death&quot;I was sad we didn&#039;t get through to the final but my @eurovision experience has been fabulous. I wouldn&#039;t take a minute of it back. Thanks to @senhitofficial and the entire San Marino delegation. What a fun bunch.&quot;He went on to add that audiences had not seen the last of him and Senhit as a duo, revealing they&#039;d be taking the stage once more in Milan come July.Though questions were initially raised regarding George&#039;s connection to representative country San Merino – Eurovision policy states that singers are not required to be from the country they compete on behalf of.Viewers were quick to share their candid thoughts on the &#039;80s singer&#039;s shock elimination, and opinions were decidedly mixed.One X user commented that it was &quot;objectively hilarious&quot; the singer failed to qualify for the Eurovision final, saying they&#039;d &quot;always love Senhit, but that song and that act deserved absolutely nothing.&quot;﻿Others, however, were firmly in Boy George&#039;s camp, expressing shock at him falling short of the mark.&quot;Sorry... Please help me out here but ..are you telling one of the biggest talents ever and the UK will not be in the final...&quot; one disbelieving fan ﻿commented.&quot;I absolutely loved you and Senhit tonight. I was there and so disappointed you didn&#039;t qualify,&quot; added another.&quot;But it was the highlight of the evening for me. Some people just ooze fabulousness and you&#039;re one of them.&quot;﻿Progressing to the finals event on Saturday are hopefuls Greece, Finland, Belgium, Sweden, Moldova, Serbia, Croatia, Lithuania, Poland and – to widespread backlash – Israel.These acts join automatic finalists from Austria, France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom.Aussies will be waiting with baited breath to see whether Deltra Goodrem will emerge victorious from her respective semi-final heat this Friday.Her performance of &#039;Eclipse&#039; will broadcast live in Australia on Friday, May 15 at 5:00 am AEST﻿FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ Abbie Chatfield has apologised online for a video she posted a year ago, amid speculation that it was the reason her partner Adam Hyde was recently denied entry into the USA. The 30-year-old commentator shared the lengthy clip on social media on Tuesday morning and admitted she &quot;regrets&quot; ever making the video, which made light of several US issues, including Luigi Mangione and the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Chatfield, who recently filled in on the KIIS breakfast slot, explained that she felt the need to address the old video, which is &quot;being, in my opinion, misunderstood, and exaggerated.&quot; Watch the video above. The outspoken commentator said that she feels like the video has &quot;come back to haunt me&quot;. In the clip, originally posted a year ago, Chatfield made a joke about Luigi Mangione and all of the love letters he received in prison after the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024. &quot;I thought, this is a funny joke to make about incels, and the redirection of anger and violence of incels and saying, look, this guy did this, look how much pussy he&#039;s getting, right? Making a stupid, it&#039;s a stupid joke,&quot; she said in the apology video. READ MORE: Intern Pete&#039;s bond with Kyle and Jackie OREAD MORE: Supermodel welcomes third child at 44READ MORE: Where Keith stands with daughters after Nicole splitChatfield claims that her words got twisted and turned into being directed at US President Donald Trump. &quot;I was making a vague joke where the punchline was incels and the reaction to Luigi Mangione,&quot; she continued. &quot;I disagree with Trump&#039;s policy, his views, all of these things, right, but I never said his name in this video, I never said it was about him, I never called for the assassination of him.&quot;She also addressed comments she made about Charlie Kirk after his assassination. Chatfield said her comments have been &quot;misrepresented&quot;, but she wanted to apologise for all of it. &quot;It&#039;s not appropriate to make jokes like this, it&#039;s not appropriate to even joke about the Luigi Mangione thing,&quot; she said. &quot;It&#039;s not appropriate to joke about incels and their violence, and it&#039;s not appropriate to joke about or suggest that people should follow in the footsteps of Luigi.&quot;I really, really regret it.&quot; Chatfield continued that it&#039;s &quot;not OK&quot; to joke about these topics, and that she really is sorry. &quot;I genuinely have learnt so much in the past year about essentially, the long and short of it, shutting up, right?&quot; she said. Looking back on what she has posted, including the video after Kirk&#039;s assassination, she said &quot;I should&#039;ve worded a lot of things differently&quot;.&quot;I just wanted to clarify that, and I wanted to apologise, and I want to apologise as well to anyone who&#039;s like, &#039;What the f--k, why did you say that?&#039;&quot; she continued. &quot;Because I agree, what the f--k, why did I say that?&quot; Chatfield added to the 10-minute video with a lengthy caption and apologised further. &quot;An apology and a clarification on some headlines I&#039;ve been seeing about a (very bad) joke I posted over a year ago that I believe is now being exaggerated and words have been put in my mouth,&quot; the caption started. She wrote she is &quot;truly sorry&quot; for any hurt the video caused and made it clear the &#039;joke&#039; was not a call to action. &quot;This &#039;joke&#039; was in extremely poor taste, but I want to make it clear that I do not think political violence is ever okay, and as I said when CK was assassinated, it is not good for anyone.&quot; she added. &quot;I&#039;m genuinely making a huge effort to be more careful with my words, and understand the impact of them, joke or not. I honestly want to apologise to all of you, including and particularly those who disagree with my political stances.&quot; Chatfield explained that this is something she has wanted to address for a while, and she is taking more time to reflect on her words and jokes. &quot;That is why I deleted it as soon as I saw how it was being interpreted months after posting, after the media made headlines stripping the joke of context,&quot; she continued. &quot;Anyway I hope you can forgive me and we can move forward. I really want to work on closing the gap between me and people who disagree with me, also. I&#039;m working on the background on podcast concepts that will be uniting rather than dividing.&quot;I also want to make it clear Adam hadn&#039;t even seen this video, so any vitriol toward him is unwarranted.&quot;Thank you for watching and reading.&quot; https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYNhZ6qzQCM/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ampThe lengthy video from Chatfield came a day after her boyfriend Adam Hyde, who performs under the name Keli Holiday, was denied entry in to the US. The musician is currently overseas on tour but was detained at the Canadian border before being told he wasn&#039;t allowed back into the US.Hyde did not provide exact reasons why he wasn&#039;t allowed back, with many speculating his online profile has been inspected by border agents and used as a reason to disallow his entry.﻿The ﻿Dancing2 singer﻿ felt &quot;gutted&quot; over the show&#039;s cancellation as he addressed disappointed fans on Instagram.&quot;Hello stunnas, unfortunately I&#039;m not going to make it to tonight&#039;s show at Baby&#039;s All Right in NYC,&quot; Hyde began in statement posted to his Stories.&quot;I have spent all day detained at the Canadian border and denied entry back into the US despite having the proper visa documentation in place. I&#039;m still trying to get clarity on the situation myself,&quot; he explained.&quot;I&#039;m honestly gutted...

I braked my bike to stop you.&quot;&quot;﻿Oh no, I verbally abused you because you completely and repeatedly broke the law,&quot; the cyclist said, sarcastically.&quot;No, I didn&#039;t.

<description><![CDATA[ Cody Simpson has shared a major health update with fans just weeks after his return to music.In an Baby Blue singer gave a candid update to his followers on an Instagram post, the Baby Blue singer told fans he had suffered from a &quot;serious hemorrhage&quot; on one of his vocal cords.Simpson said the injury occurred &quot;due to [his] overzealousness in the studio singing through a sinus infection&quot; he &quot;didn&#039;t know&quot; he had.&quot;I originally thought I could keep this private but it&#039;s come time I share what I&#039;ve been going through,&quot; the post starts.&quot;Just over a month ago, we discovered a serious hemorrhage on one of my vocal cords...&quot;I assumed it was just fatigue and kept showing up to the studio until one day I could no longer sing properly.&quot;I&#039;ve now been on and off vocal rest for weeks, cancelling TV and radio performances for Baby Blue in the process.&quot;READ MORE: Intern Pete&#039;s bond with Kyle and Jackie OREAD MORE: Tom Brady takes brutal swipe at Kevin HartREAD MORE: Aussie star denied US entry, tour cancelledSimpson added that his injury has impacted his ability to complete his upcoming album ﻿and polish up his latest singles.He has been prescribed &quot;two weeks of silence&quot; in the hopes of avoiding surgery, &quot;which demands a much longer recovery process,&quot; the musician said.&quot;I&#039;m back in the studio now writing strictly as a lyricist on mute with my collaborators, and hearing/writing my vocal melodies on my guitar (which I will eventually replace with my voice when I&#039;m able to),&quot; he continued.&quot;Where there&#039;s a will, there&#039;s a way. I&#039;d like to bring you on the journey.&quot;I&#039;ve been extremely up and down but am now reframing this as a realignment for the long-term good.&quot;In the meantime, should I start sharing some of what I&#039;ve already finished?&quot;The shocking injury comes just a few weeks after he made a triumphant return to music with his ﻿two new singles Baby Blue and When It Comes To Loving You.The singer has been building to his new album&#039;s release for months, teasing his return to music on social media.﻿In one clip, he dances with a producer in the studio while playing the intro to his new song.In another video, the singer explains the inspiration behind his new sound.&quot;After a year experimenting with music and writing song after song since my swimming career, I walked into the﻿ studio extremely open-minded and open-hearted,&quot; he said.Simpson said &quot;a new sort of sound and colour wanted to come through&quot; him, &quot;and it did.&quot;The singer has been spending plenty of time in the US to make his music.Late last year, Simpson broke up with his partner of four years, Olympic swimmer Emma McKeon.The pair started dating in 2022, bonding over their love of swimming.Simpson had moved into the sport after a long singing career, trying his luck as a competitive swimmer and making the Australian Olympic Team.Earlier this year, a pair close to the couple revealed the split was &quot;amicable,&quot; adding, &quot;They are still really good friends.&quot;﻿FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ Dubai-based radio star Kris Fade has confirmed he was in talks with the Australian Radio Network about replacing the Kyle and Jackie O Show after weeks of speculation.Fade, an Australian-born radio host who is hugely successful in the Middle East, told GameChangers podcast host Craig Bruce ARN did approach him for general talks during the recent Radio Days Toronto conference.Bruce told listeners he asked the broadcaster directly whether the rumours were true, to which Fade replied he &quot;had a conversation with ARN&quot; but said there was &quot;nothing on the table from them in terms of a specific offer&quot;.﻿The former boss of 2DayFM also posted a cheeky video to Instagram a few days ago, approaching Fade ﻿at the Canadian radio event while recording him.&quot;Great presentation, mate,&quot; Bruce began, ﻿&quot;I&#039;m not even going to ask you the question, Kris.&quot;In the video, Fade grabbed the camera, seemingly addressing the rumours.&quot;I&#039;m saying nothing. I&#039;m saying absolutely nothing,&quot; he responded.&quot;You think I&#039;m going to say anything?&quot;Listen, firstly, I want to say thank you for all the beautiful words you&#039;ve said.&quot;I&#039;m happy in Dubai, I&#039;m in Dubai. But, you know, whatever happens, happens. We&#039;ll see where life takes you, you never know.&quot;KIIS has been cycling through temporary hosts following the axing of the Kyle and Jackie O Show and its hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie &#039;O&#039; Henderson.Fade&#039;s name has come up repeatedly about a potential replacement, but he has stayed silent about the potential role.The Dubai radio star has been dodging questions for weeks about whether he would be moving to Australia permanently to fill the gaping hole in KIIS&#039;s breakfast radio slot.The headlines started after industry veterans ﻿Jen Seyderhelm and Steve Ahern revealed the &quot;hot tip&quot; regarding the potential replacement for Sandilands in an episode of RadioToday posted on April 9.Nine.com.au managed to get in contact with Fade at the time, who declined to comment.﻿If Fade were ﻿to move his show to ARN, questions remain over whether they can offer a pay packet appealing enough to the wealthy Dubai socialite.&quot;Kris Fade is the biggest name in entertainment in Dubai,&quot; a source told nine.com.au.&quot;He&#039;s interviewed all the biggest names in Hollywood – Kim Kardashian, Will Smith... Smith actually helped him propose to his wife.&quot;He&#039;d have to be offered a huge amount of money – we&#039;re talking millions a year – to leave Dubai which he has called his home for so many years,&quot; the source explained.Fade&#039;s wife ﻿Brianna Ramirez (now Brianna Fade) and his son have been seen in Sydney in recent weeks, only spurring on speculation.Interestingly, Fade already has a history with KIIS FM, ﻿with the network picking up the Australian-focused version of his show on weekends in 2018, which aired every Sunday for a few years.Fade is an Australian national who moved from Sydney to Dubai in 2008, landing a job on Virgin Radio and taking the UAE by storm with his breakfast program The Kris Fade Show.Like The Kyle and Jackie O Show once was in Australia, his is the biggest and most listened -to radio breakfast show in the UAE.Fade also featured in Netflix&#039;s reality series Dubai Bling alongside his wife Brianna.The media personality is so famous in the Middle East that Madame Tussauds Dubai honoured him with a wax figure.ARN pulled the $200 million deal they had with Jackie O Henderson and Kyle Sandilands over a now-infamous on-air blow-up.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ Supermodel Anok Yai has slammed crude claims she soiled herself at a past Met Gala, after allegedly being trapped in a constrictive jumpsuit.In a report from the Washington Post, the logistics of bathroom breaks for celebrities at &#039;Fashion&#039;s Biggest Night&#039; were investigated, owing to the number of extravagant, notoriously tough-to-remove﻿ garments.One anecdote shared by celebrity ﻿stylist Mickey Freeman claimed there had been an unidentified model in an &quot;elaborate couture sheer mesh jumpsuit&quot; – which the Post claimed fit the description of what Yai, 28, wore that year.Freeman recalled a moment during the event&#039;s 2024 iteration, where the model was &quot;swept up in the grandeur and excitement [and] completely forgot about the zipper situation&quot;.&quot;Inevitably, [the model&#039;s] bladder decided to remind her,&quot; the stylist said.While Freeman declined to name the model, the report stated &quot;detective Google&quot; had been used to identify Yai as the jumpsuit-soiler in question.﻿Taking to Instagram in the wake of the wild claims, the supermodel firmly denied she&#039;d been the unnamed model.READ MORE: Reality star&#039;s daughter&#039;s &#039;heart is shattered&#039; after tragic deathREAD MORE: &#039;It just stuck&#039;: How Jesinta and Buddy chose son&#039;s &#039;unique&#039; name﻿READ MORE: AFL team&#039;s hilarious response to tiny detail in star&#039;s music video﻿&quot;I usually stay quiet and keep to myself,&quot; Yai began the Instagram Story post, which followed a screenshot of the now-removed Washington Post article.&quot;But how dare you misalign my character and imply that I ripped my outfit and peed on myself during the Met Gala of 2024! Fact check next time! Are you crazy?!&quot;She went on to address the Washington Post directly, saying, &quot;If you find any photos of my outfit ripped or urine dripping down my leg, let me know.&quot;﻿Freeman also jumped in to defend the model, denying she was the woman he had previously discussed.&quot;Nope! It was not Queen @anokyai&quot;, he wrote, tagging the model.Commenting further on his Instagram story, he labelled the Post&#039;s report as a &quot;hilarious non-story.&quot;&quot;I absolutely adore Anok, so let&#039;s not play those games on the internet! She was never part of the story,&quot; he added.﻿Yai&#039;s statement is the first the largely private model has made since previously going public with health difficulties last year.Yai, who is one of the most in-demand models in the world at present, revealed she&#039;d been diagnosed with congenital Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) – a hole in her heart present at birth.&quot;For the past year I&#039;ve been dealing with this silent battle,&quot; Yai captioned a series of photos showing her in hospital.&quot;I incidentally found out I had a congenital defect overworking my heart and slowly destroying my lungs.&quot;Following successful robotic surgery, the model stepped out in attendance at the 2026 Met Gala in custom Balenciaga inspired by The Weeping Madonna of Siracusa.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ M﻿att Damon and Ben Affleck are being sued for defamation by Miami police officers over their Netflix film The Rip.Damon and Affleck play officers in the January 2026 film, which ﻿is inspired by the true story of the 2016 Miami Lakes narcotics raid, a drug bust that uncovered nearly $22 million in hidden cash.Watch the video above.﻿The real-life Miami-Dade narcotics officers Jonathon Santana and Jason Smith claim The Rip unfairly damages their reputation by falsely portraying them as corrupt police officers, according to 7 News Miami.The officers allege the Netflix thriller, which was marketed as &quot;inspired by true events,&quot; borrowed heavily from their case while depicting officers engaged in theft, cartel dealings and murder.Santana, a deputy for the Miami-Dade Sheriff&#039;s office told the outlet: &quot;When you rip something, you&#039;re stealing something. We never stole a dollar.&quot;The complaint names Artists Equity, ﻿a production company founded by Damon and Affleck, along with co-producer Falco Pictures.READ MORE: Tammy Hembrow recalls &#039;excruciating&#039; divorceREAD MORE: Reality star&#039;s daughter&#039;s &#039;heart is shattered&#039; after tragic deathREAD MORE: Dua Lipa sues for millions following use of unapproved images﻿The officers are seeking unspecified damages for defamation, defamation by implication and intentional infliction of emotional distress.According to the lawsuit, Santana and Smith say people who knew about the investigation easily connected them to the fictional characters in the film. ﻿Santana said while ﻿he used to be celebrated for being one of the two officers credited with solving the Miami Lakes drug case, he&#039;s now teased for his involvement.&quot;Pretty much saying, you know, how many buckets of money did I steal?&quot; he said.Santana&#039;s attorney, Ignacio Alvarez told the publication: ﻿&quot;They portrayed police officers as dirty, they portrayed my clients as dirty. Now their reputations are hurt.&quot;&quot;My clients are now hurt for the rest of their lives with everybody [perceiving] that they&#039;re dirty.&quot;The Miami officers aren&#039;t the only ones upset over the portrayal in The Rip.The film was shot mostly in Hialeah, Florida.In January 2026, Hialeah Mayor Bryan Calvo﻿ told 7 News Miami the film was &quot;a slap in the face to our law enforcement personnel&quot;.﻿&quot;If you have never been to Hialeah, if you live somewhere else in this country and you see this film, I wouldn&#039;t want to come here, and that&#039;s a problem.&quot;FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ He was a beloved fixture on The Kyle and Jackie O Show for years, but Intern Pete is officially jumping ship just weeks after the show&#039;s abrupt end.Intern Pete, whose real name is Peter Deppeler, made the sad announcement during Monday morning&#039;s fill-in show with Mike E﻿ and Producer Mayo after 12 years on the job.But he won&#039;t be leaving radio or indeed ARN completely, as he&#039;s heading to The Christian O&#039;Connell Show on KIIS FM&#039;s sister station Gold FM instead.&quot;﻿Well, it&#039;s time, I guess, for Intern Pete to graduate,&quot; Pete began, fighting back tears.&quot;To everyone who&#039;s listened over the years – thank you, genuinely. You are the reason Intern Pete became a thing in the first place. You made that name mean something, and I&#039;ll always be grateful. Nothing lasts forever, as this year&#039;s shown us...&quot;After revealing he would be moving shows, he continued: &quot;﻿I love what he&#039;s building on Gold. No one does radio like him, and no one ﻿else did radio like Kyle and Jackie O.&quot;I&#039;m so grateful. The next chapter starts now.&quot;READ MORE: Reality star&#039;s daughter&#039;s &#039;heart is shattered&#039; after tragic death﻿READ MORE: Bakers Delight unveils radical new store changeREAD MORE: The Bunnings checkout rule catching most shoppers outPete said how much he loved breakast radio, and thanked ARN for letting him &quot;live the dream&quot;.Pete has been a beloved part of the show for over a decade, causing chaos with his bizarre stunts, wild red carpet interviews, and shameless attempts to get selfies with celebritities.He was just as stunned as the rest of the nation when The Kyle and Jackie O Show came to an abrupt halt following an on-air clash between the hosts on February 20.﻿Sandilands and Henderson&#039;s professional relationship imploded after he berated her fascination with horoscopes in the now infamous on-air row.Henderson was absent from the show the following week. ARN said on March 3 she would not be returning to the show before announcing on March 18 the show would not be returning.Sandilands&#039; contract was terminated for serious misconduct while Henderson&#039;s contract was terminated after she indicated she could no longer work with Sandliands.Since then, both have launched separate lawsuits challenging the contract terminations and each claiming compensation of $82 million – the amount left to pay out on the $100 million five-year contracts they inked in 2023.ARN is countersuing both Sandilands and Henderson in addition to defending against both claims.The network is also demanding the pair pay for advertising KIIS lost after they allegedly breached their contracts.The matter is due back in court in June.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ Kylie Minogue has been at the forefront of Australia – and the world&#039;s – entertainment industry for almost five decades.The perennially perky and impossibly youthful Minogue, now 57, came from humble beginnings in Melbourne, where she started acting as a child in Australian soaps, before she embarked on a highly successful music career and became a cultural icon.Now, weeks before the release of a new three-part docuseries entitled Kylie, let&#039;s look back on her life and career, as well as the special relationship she shares with her equally famous sister Dannii.Watch the video above.A star is bornKylie Ann Minogue was born in the Melbourne suburb of Caulfield South on May 28, 1968, to parents Ron, an accountant, and Carol, who once eyed a career as a dancer.She has two younger siblings; brother, Brendan, who was born in 1970, and Dannii, who followed in 1971.READ MORE: The man missing from Sir David Attenborough&#039;s side as he turns 100READ MORE: Legendary &#039;80s singer in induced coma after emergency surgeryREAD MORE: Radio giant reveals $26m revenue hole from Kyle and Jackie O ShowBoth Kylie and her younger sister were enrolled in dancing and singing classes from a young age, but it was initially Dannii ﻿who enjoyed success. After convincing her parents to enrol her at the Johnny Young Talent School, she became a contestant on the hugely popular TV show Young Talent Time in 1979.That same year, their aunt Suzette, an actress, suggested Dannii audition for a role in Aussie soap The Sullivans. Instead, Carol took all three children along to the audition and it was Kylie who was cast as Carla.Minogue went on to appear in eight episodes of the show.After guest starring on Aussie TV series Skyways and Zoo Family, she won a starring role in The Henderson Kids, alongside Nadine Garner, Nicholas Eadie and Ben Mendelsohn.She appeared in the first season of the show, which aired in 1985, but was written off before the second season, something Garner once said was because Minogue was &#039;fragile&#039; and would burst into tears when producers yelled at her for forgetting her lines.By then, Dannii was the bigger star of the two, having become a fulltime cast member on Young Talent Time in 1982.Hoping to replicate her fame, Kylie applied to go on the show and was invited on as a guest, where she and Dannii sang a duet of Sisters are Doin&#039; it for Themselves.While she wasn&#039;t offered a fulltime role, fame was right around the corner.Neighbours and worldwide fame﻿In 1986, Minogue joined the cast of the popular new Australian soap Neighbours as mechanic Charlene Mitchell.Producers moved quickly to capitalise on a storyline involving a romance between ﻿her character and Scott Robinson, played by Jason Donovan.Their on-screen wedding attracted a worldwide audience of 20 million people when it aired on July 1, 1987.By that time, they were also a couple in real life. The two reportedly started dating after meeting on set and became one of the most high-profile celebrity couples in Australia and the UK, where the show was also popular.During a December 2025 appearance on the Great Company with Jamie Laing podcast, Donovan described watching Minogue&#039;s meteoric rise to fame.&quot;With Kylie, she started out as this sort of rough mechanic on Neighbours, sort of a tomboy-like character, and sort of blossomed, you know,&quot; he said.&quot;It was phenomenal to watch.&quot;Music career﻿In July 1986, Minogue agreed to perform at a benefit concert for Fitzroy Football Club in Melbourne and ended with a rendition of the 1960s hit The Loco-Motion.A music producer in the audience arranged for her to record a demo of the song, which was sent to the then-head of Mushroom Records, Michael Gudinski.Locomotion was released in Australia on July 13, 1987 – just 12 days after the Neighbours wedding episode aired in order to capitalise on her fame.It went to number one, where it stayed for seven weeks, and became one of the biggest-selling songs of the decade.Minogue headed to London months later to work with English songwriters and producers Stock Aitken Waterman.They reportedly forgot she was coming and left her waiting outside the studio while they wrote her next hit, I Should be So Lucky.﻿ She recorded it the same day and it went to number one in the UK, Australia, Germany and South Africa on its release that December.Mike Stock later flew to Australia to meet with Minogue and Donovan in a bar to apologise over her earlier treatment before she agreed to keep working with the trio.A third hit, Got to be Certain, was released in May 1988.All three songs, including a new version of Locomotion, appeared on her debut album Kylie, released in July 1988. It went to number one in the UK, and Minogue, then 20, became the youngest artist to have a number-one album – a record that stood until 2002.Minogue left Neighbours that year to concentrate on her music career. She and Donovan released a duet, Especially for You, on November 28, 1988.The next year her second album, Enjoy Yourself, went to number one in the UK and spawned the hits Hand on Your Heart and Tears on My Pillow, but failed to crack the US.An eyebrow-raising romance﻿Minogue and Donovan split in 1989. Soon after, ﻿Minogue, then 20, started dating INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, who was nine years her senior.For a daily dose of 9Honey, subscribe to our newsletter here.She stunned the world when she donned a blonde cropped wig and took him as her date to the premiere of her first feature film, The Delinquents, in December 1989. ﻿The relationship raised eyebrows, especially after Hutchence quipped his favourite pastime was &quot;corrupting Kylie&quot;.Minogue told the 2019 docuseries ﻿Mystify: Michael Hutchence, the singer had an &quot;insatiable curiosity&quot; for &quot;all the good things in life, and some bad&quot;.&quot;He opened up a whole new world for me. A lot of it was based around pleasure... Sex, love, food, drugs, music, travel, books, you name it, he wanted to experience it.﻿&quot;The relationship lasted two years before Hutchence broke it off. She told ACA host Tracy Grimshaw in 2014, &quot;He broke my heart. I have to confess that the hurt stayed for quite a long time.&quot;More successMinogue&#039;s third album, Rhythm of Love, was released in 1990﻿ and moved into the dance genre with hits Better the Devil You Know, Step Back in Time, What Do I Have to Do and Shocked.She moved record labels ahead of the release of her fifth album, Kylie Minogue, in September 1994, which contained the hit Confide in Me.She appeared in the 1994 film Street Fighter opposite Jean-Claude Van Damme, who later revealed the two had an affair. She followed this with a small role in the 1996 film Bio-Dome.Minogue collaborated with ﻿Nick Cave on Where the Wild Roses Grow, ahead of the release of her 1997 album Impossible Princess.But it was her 2000 album Light Years, which contained the Robbie Willams duet Kids and the smash hit Spinning Around – and a film clip featuring those gold hotpants – that put her back on the map.It was followed by ﻿her most successful single, Can&#039;t Get You Out of My Head, which went to number one in more than 40 countries.It was included on the album Fever, which also contained the hits, In Your Eyes, Love at First Sight and Come into My World.Minogue received her first Grammy award nomination in 2003 for Best Dance Recording for Love at First Sight.The following year she was nominated again for Come into My World, which she won, making her the first Australian artist to win a major Grammy since Men at Work in 1983.A life-changing diagnosis﻿Minogue had just embarked on her Showgirl: The Greatest Hits Tour, when she announced in May 2005 she had been diagnosed with breast cancer.She cancelled her tour so she could undergo surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.In a trailer for her new docuseries Kylie, she admitted her diagnosis scared her and likened chemo as &quot;experiencing a nuclear bomb&quot;.&quot;I felt removed from my body. I was so scared of what was ahead of me,&quot; she said. ﻿She announced in January 2006 she had finished treatment and had no sign of disease.She resumed her renamed Showgirl Homecoming Tour that November.More ﻿albums followed, including X, which received a Grammy nomination for Best Electronic/Dance Album, and Aphrodite, which contained the hit, All the Lovers.Next came Kiss Me Once, a Christmas album and Golden.Her Summer 2019 tour saw her play at the famed Glastonbury Festival for the first time – 14 years after her breast cancer diagnosis forced her to cancel.Her set was the most attended in Glastonbury&#039;s history, and attracted an audience of three million on the BBC – more than any act in history.Padam Padam and making historyMore albums followed, then in 2023 came the single Padam Padam. It was released on May 18 but took off after catching the attention of social media users, becoming a viral hit.It became the first single of her 16th studio album Tension, which was released later that year.The song was nominated in the new category of Best Pop Dance Recording at the 2024 Grammy awards, and won – exactly 20 years after she had won her first Grammy.Sister act﻿By her side during all the ups and downs of her life has been her sister Dannii.﻿They have performed together numerous times during their respective careers and supported each other on the red carpet at various events.In 2006, when Kylie was making her return to the stage after battling breast cancer, it was her sister she called on to help her sing the Robbie Williams duet, Kids, on stage.﻿Dannii told the Take 5 with Zan Rowe Who podcast in 2024 they re-enacted dance moves from their childhood.&quot;At the start of the song, we&#039;re at the top of the stairs, and we do the daggiest dancing,&quot; she said.&quot;Then we&#039;d do this thing at the end of the catwalk where we&#039;d grab our hands and lean back and spin.&quot;We remember doing that as kids, on the grass with the sprinkler and stuff. It had all these references in there from all of our childhood beautiful moments.&quot;﻿In the same interview, Dannii said it was their mutual love of music that helped when her sister was battling cancer.﻿&quot;When I would go and visit her when she was having chemo and very, very unwell, I would jump around to music with her to get some good vibes happening,&quot; she said.A trailer from the new Netflix documentary Kylie shows Dannii emotionally recalling her sister&#039;s diagnosis and the importance of music.&quot;We didn&#039;t know if she&#039;s ever gonna be well again,&quot; she said.&quot;I just wanted to be with my sister. Music kept us going,&quot; she said.Not only was she OK, but the sisters went on to perform together at the Kylie Christmas Concert at Royal Albert Hall in London in 2015, and Sydney WorldPride Opening Concert in Sydney in 2023.Love lifeMinogue had a string of relationships ﻿after breaking up with Hutchence, but has never married or had children.She dated singer Lenny Kravitz in 1991﻿.After her reported affair with married action star Claude Van Damme while filming Street Fighter in Thailand, she had a three-year relationship with French photographer Stephane Sednaoui, from 1996 to 1998.She then dated model James Gooding, who was six years her junior,﻿ from 2000 to 2003, before taking up with another Frenchman, actor Olivier Martinez.It was Martinez who supported her during her cancer battle during the relationship, which lasted from 2003 to 2007.Next, she dated Spanish model Andrés Velencoso, who was a decade younger than Minogue, from 2008 to 2013.From 2015 to 2017, she dated UK actor Joshua Sasse, who was 19 years her junior. It was the closest Minogue came to marriage, with the couple reportedly becoming engaged.After that relationship ended, she had a five-year romance with Brtish GQ creative director Paul Solomons from 2018 to 2023.But far from considering herself unlucky in love, Minogue said in 2012 she had &quot;learnt something from all of my relationships&quot;.&quot;I don&#039;t know. I just don&#039;t consider it a failure,&quot; she said.&quot;I think I&#039;m more realistic, partly because of all the headlines that are all about my failed love life. &#039;Unlucky in love&#039;. God I hate that pun. I don&#039;t actually feel unlucky in it; I feel that it just hasn&#039;t been textbook fairytale.&quot;She is not believed to be dating anyone now.No place like home﻿In 2021, Minogue, relocated from London, where she had lived for 30 years, to her hometown of Melbourne, in part to be closer to her ageing parents and siblings, including Dannii, and her son Ethan, now 15.She told the BBC at the time, &quot;I have spent a lot of time with my family this year in Australia and it felt really good&quot;.The following year, she put down roots, buying an $8 million house in Melbourne&#039;s eastern suburbs.She has a ﻿reported net worth of $166 million thanks to her music career, tours and other interests such as her perfume lines and wine brand.﻿Cultural iconMinogue is considered a cultural icon, in part due to her record breaking successes.Apart from her two Grammy Awards, she has won four Brit Awards, 18 ARIA Music Awards and nine Logies.In 1989, she became the youngest person to ever win the coveted Gold Logie at age 19, and the only person to snag four Logies in one year.Minogue is the highest-selling Australian female artist of all time, with more than 80 million record sales worldwide.

<description><![CDATA[ Chrissy Teigen is loved for her sense of humour, but it seems her latest social media stunt has left fans confused.The TV personality and cookbook author, 40, posted an Instagram video explaining why she couldn’t attend the 2026 Met Gala.Instead, she was attending the “funeral” of a “dear friend” who had died. But not all was what it seemed.Watch the video above.﻿&quot;I don&#039;t really like to post sad stuff but wanted to share I couldn&#039;t go to the met ball because one of my best friends from Seattle passed away,&quot; she captioned the video.That ‘friend’ was the closing down of a Taco Bell restaurant in Seattle.But with no other context in the post, until you were a third of the way into the video, some fans jumped to more ﻿sombre conclusions.READ MORE:﻿ Hairdresser defends charging $277k for a cut after backlashREAD MORE:﻿ &#039;Sour taste&#039;: Why this Met Gala outfit is stirring up outrageREAD MORE:﻿ &#039;Very poor manners&#039;: The social tradition Aussies no longer think is OKIn the video, ﻿Teigen is dressed in black funeral attire on her way to attend the &#039;ceremony&#039; as the text in the video read: &quot;We recently attended a funeral for a dear friend&quot;.Teigen, who shares four kids with singer-songwriter John Legend, was seen mourning in the video as she held a candle and red rose to commemorate the loss of the building.She then pretended to cry ﻿as Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance played over the clip.While husband Legend reacted with a laughing crying emoji under the video, some fans missed the funny side.https://www.instagram.com/p/DYDI6XTv4MA/&quot;I thought you died when I saw her sad face.

<description><![CDATA[ Jerry Seinfeld has taken aim at his one Seinfeld&#039;s greatest TV rivals.Appearing at the &#039;Netflix Is a Joke&#039; festival on Tuesday, the 72-year-old joked that the iconic sitcom was essentially just his own show, but recast with &quot;good-looking people&quot;.
&quot;Here&#039;s my theory on Friends … My show came on [1989]-90. Friends came on a few years later,&quot; he said, with Friends&#039; first episode being run in 1994.&quot;I think NBC was watching my show and went, &#039;Hey, this is working pretty well. Why don&#039;t we try the same thing with good-looking people?&#039;&quot;And that was a pretty good idea. I think that kind of worked.&quot;Both sitcoms were a huge hit with fans and centred on a bunch of flatmates and friends as they go about their lives in the bustling New York City.﻿Friends ran for ten seasons until May 2004 and starred Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry and Matt Le Blanc.﻿READ MORE: Brooklyn Ross reveals new KIIS FM fill-in host after Abbie Chatfield﻿R﻿EAD MORE: Melanie C on Spice Girls&#039; impromptu moment with Cruz BeckhamR﻿EAD MORE: Amy Shark highlights dark side of Australia&#039;s music industry, exclusiveFor a daily dose of 9honey, subscribe to our newsletter here.Seinfeld meanwhile, aired for nine seasons up until 1998; it starred Jerry, Michael Richards, Jason Alexander and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.The world was left in shock in October 2023 upon the news of Matthew Perry&#039;s death at the age of 54, caused by the acute effects of ketamine. He played beloved character Chandler Bing in the series.﻿Meanwhile, Louis-Dreyfus was recently grilled on the question Seinfeld fans have been asking for decades about what her character says to Jerry in the finale.In the finale, Louis-Dreyfus&#039; character Elaine appeared to almost confess her love to Jerry Seinfeld, blurting out, &quot;Jerry, I&#039;ve always loved...&quot; before she stops.When asked about the scene, she joked to nine.com.au: &quot;I can&#039;t possibly tell you that! It&#039;s supposed to be a secret!&quot;﻿﻿Louis-Dreyfus said despite the rampant debate around the finale, she had no regrets.&quot;﻿I know it was controversial, which is nice, that&#039;s a good way for us to go out ... I know it wasn&#039;t satisfying for some people, it was for others.&quot;I have no complaints, let&#039;s put it that way.&quot;FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<title>Everything we know about Christopher Nolan&amp;apos;s The Odyssey, including the cast, release date, and why it&amp;apos;s such a big deal</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/everything-we-know-about-christopher-nolans-the-odyssey-including-the-cast-release-date-and-why-its-such-a-big-deal</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/everything-we-know-about-christopher-nolans-the-odyssey-including-the-cast-release-date-and-why-its-such-a-big-deal</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ We finally have the first trailer for Christopher Nolan&#039;s upcoming blockbuster, The Odyssey.The critically acclaimed director is back for the first time since 2023&#039;s Oppenheimer﻿, which grossed around $US975 million ($1.3 billion) worldwide, was nominated for 13 Oscars and ultimately took home seven, including Best Director and Best Picture.And while it might sound hard to beat, critics are already predicting The Odyssey is going to knock Oppenheimer out of the park.Watch the video above.﻿With an absolutely stacked A-list cast, it ﻿is predicted to be one of the biggest – if not the biggest – box office hits of 2026, with experts estimating it could bring in more than $1 billion worldwide.So, if you&#039;re eager to find out what all the fuss is about, we&#039;ve compiled everything we know so far about The Odyssey, including the A-list cast, release date, and ﻿why it&#039;s going to be such a big deal.Keep reading to find out more.﻿READ MORE: Aussie star forced to drop Cannes honour after injuryREAD MORE: The 2026 rule-breaking Met Gala selfie is hereREAD MORE: Horror moment Robert was pinned under 317kg crocThe Odyssey cast and rolesIn April, when Nolan told Cinemacon attendees that ﻿if he had brought the cast with him, &quot;the massive weight of extraordinary talent would have collapsed the stage,&quot; he really wasn&#039;t kidding.﻿Matt Damon as OdysseusMatt Damon leads the cast as Odysseus, the King of Ithaca, who embarks on a treacherous journey home after a decade spent fighting the Trojan War.﻿This will be Damon&#039;s third time working with Nolan (Interstellar, 2014 and Oppenheimer, 2023), so it&#039;s no shock he was called up to tackle the role of one of mythology&#039;s most complex heroes.&quot;It was absolutely the pinnacle of my entire career,&quot; Damon told Jimmy Fallon of the experience.&quot;I&#039;ve never, ever done a movie that just required every single person to work to kind of give the maximum effort.&quot;I said to [Ben Affleck] every location on that movie would have been the hardest location on any other movie I&#039;ve ever done, and any day of work would have been harder than any other day on any other movie I&#039;ve ever done.&quot;Anne Hathaway as PenelopeStarring opposite Damon is one of this year&#039;s busiest stars, appearing in a whopping five movies in 2026 – Anne Hathaway. ﻿Hathaway stars as Penelope, Odysseus&#039; loyal wife, holding down the fort in Ithaca. She&#039;s spent years defending her husband&#039;s throne, but the vultures are circling as people begin to question if he will ever return.Like Damon, she has also worked with Nolan twice before – on 2012&#039;s The Dark Knight Rises and 2014&#039;s Interstellar.﻿She&#039;s previously referred to Nolan as an &quot;angel&quot; in terms of her career, crediting him as one of the only people in Hollywood willing to give her work during the period the internet turned against her following her Oscar win for Les Misérables.&quot;A lot of people wouldn&#039;t give me roles because they were so concerned about how toxic my identity had become online,&quot; Hathaway told Vanity Fair in 2024.&quot;I had an angel in Christopher Nolan, who did not care about that and gave me one of the most beautiful roles I&#039;ve had in one of the best films that I&#039;ve been a part of [Interstellar].&quot;Tom Holland as TelemachusTom Holland stars as Telemachus, the son of ﻿Odysseus and Penelope and the Prince of Ithaca. He&#039;s grown up without his father, and now the war is over he&#039;s determined to find him.Holland told GQ the film is his &quot;proudest achievement as an actor&quot; and thanked Nolan for the opportunity to be involved.﻿&quot;I can tell you that it is an absolute masterpiece, and I&#039;m taking myself out of that equation,&quot; he told the publication.&quot;Chris Nolan&#039;s movie is fantastic. It&#039;s unlike anything that I&#039;ve ever seen before.&quot;July is set to be a big month for Holland, with The Odyssey releasing on the same day as his other big blockbuster, Spider-Man﻿: Brand New Day.Robert Pattinson as AntinousAfter watching the trailer, we have to admit we are 100 per cent sat for evil Robert Pattinson.The Twilight alum stars as Antinous, an arrogant and persistent suitor vying for Penelope&#039;s hand and, in turn, her husband&#039;s throne.This will be one of three major blockbusters for Pattinson this year – and in each, ﻿he stars alongside Zendaya.Zendaya as AthenaIt seems that when casting this film, Nolan simply went in search of the busiest A-listers he could find. This will be one of five major projects for Zendaya this year.The actress stars as Athena, the daughter of Zeus and goddess of ﻿wisdom, warfare, handicraft and reason.Zendaya&#039;s role highlights the impact of fantasy in the film as she intervenes with Odysseus&#039; journey home ﻿– for better or worse.In this film, Zendaya appears alongside her on-screen husband from The Drama, Pattinson, but also her real-life fiancé (rumoured to now be her husband), Tom Holland.Charlize Theron as CalypsoCharlize Theron stars as a nymph named Calypso who resides on the island of Ogygia.It&#039;s hard to describe her character without giving too much away; ﻿she walks a fine line between loyalty and control.Others﻿Other major stars set to appear in the film﻿ include Lupita Nyong&#039;o, Jon Bernthal, Benny Safdie, John Leguizamo, Himesh Patel, Mia Goth, Elliot Page and Travis Scott.What is the story of The Odyssey?According to Nolan himself, The Odyssey is &quot;not a story, it&#039;s the story&quot;. ﻿Based on the ancient Greek poem attributed to Homer, The Odyssey tells the mythological story surrounding the aftermath of the Trojan War. ﻿The film is said to be told through a non-linear structure, with Nolan explaining that the original poem starts halfway through the story.It is also expected to follow a dual narrative structure﻿, flipping between Odysseus and his journey home and Telemachus and his battle to protect his father&#039;s throne back in Ithaca.It&#039;s expected to focus on the family&#039;s emotional journey woven through Odysseus&#039; epic adventure, encountering several mythical creatures from cyclopses and ﻿sirens to gods and enchantresses.How long will The Odyssey be?Nolan isn&#039;t known to shy away from a long runtime, with The Odyssey reportedly falling just short of three hours. ﻿Why is it The Odyssey a big deal?﻿Well, where do we start?﻿First of all, any movie by Nolan is sure to create some hype, even one that takes as big a swing as The Odyssey does.Then, there&#039;s the cast. It&#039;s probably safe to say very few, if any, movies these days can attract as many A-listers as The Odyssey has, and there&#039;s got to be a reason for that, right?Director and cast aside, The Odyssey is set to be a major blockbuster at a time when critics are questioning if the blockbuster is a dying art form.It&#039;s an epic, mythical action quest told by a director known for his grand-scale spectacle and technical precision.So, when you give him a $250 million budget and one of literature&#039;s oldest stories, it&#039;s sure to be something worth seeing.Then, there&#039;s also the fact﻿ The Odyssey is reportedly the first film to ever be shot entirely on 70mm IMAX film cameras.This means the film won&#039;t alternate aspect ratios in the way movies such as Oppenheimer and Dune do, instead filling the entire size of an IMAX screen throughout – reportedly providing a full 180-degree field of view, completely immersing audiences in the story.&quot;As a filmmaker, you&#039;re looking for gaps in cinematic culture, things that haven&#039;t been done before,&quot; Nolan told Empire magazine. ﻿The Odyssey release dateThe Odyssey is set to hit Australian cinemas on July 16, but if you want tickets for opening weekend, you&#039;d better get in quick.﻿Tickets for the film first went on sale exactly one year ahead of its release date on July 16, 2025.IMAX released tickets to the 26 cinemas around the world with the staff and equipment to show the film in its full 1570 format, the largest and highest resolution currently in existence.According to The Guardian, the day after tickets went on sale, IMAX Melbourne had already sold 1,800 tickets across its four available screenings. ﻿FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ For most people, the lasting memory of Kim Kardashian wearing Marilyn Monroe&#039;s dress to the Met Gala was the intense backlash.It remains one of the most controversial celebrity fashion moments in years, and sparked fierce debate over whether Monroe&#039;s iconic gown should have ever left a museum.For Kardashian it appears that it isn&#039;t the dress or the criticism that still haunts her.Watch the video above.﻿Four years after stepping onto the Met Gala carpet in Norma Jean&#039;s iconic &quot;Happy Birthday, Mr President&quot; dress, Kardashian has reflected on the 2022 appearance with longtime glam team members Chris Appleton and Mario Dedivanovic.&quot;If someone&#039;s like, &#039;What&#039;s your biggest regret in life?&#039; you think a lot of other things,&quot; Kardashian joked before revealing the issue was never the dress itself and instead, the styling.&quot;It was all about the hair. I&#039;ll fight you on that till the day I die,&quot; she said. &quot;I think about it once a week.&quot;READ MORE: &#039;Kim weight loss to fit into Marilyn&#039;s dress shouldn&#039;t be applauded&#039;READ MORE: Museum denies Kim Kardashian damaged Marilyn Monroe&#039;s dressREAD MORE: The moment &#039;Hollywood royalty&#039; is spotted at the AFL﻿As they looked at photos, Kardashian summed up the styling process, bluntly announcing: &quot;Everyone f***ed up here. Let&#039;s just say that.&quot;&quot;We had too much going on. You were doing every family member,&quot; she said to Appleton and Dedivanovic. &quot;We weren&#039;t focused.&quot;The 2022 Met Gala appearance was controversial as Kardashian was wearing the crystal-covered gown Monroe famously wore while serenading US president John F. Kennedy in 1962.For a daily dose of 9Honey, subscribe to our newsletter hereThe historic dress, loaned by Ripley&#039;s Believe It or Not museum, had not been worn publicly in decades and immediately outrage. The backlash intensified after Kardashian revealed she had lost around seven kilos in just weeks to fit into the garment.Months later, fresh controversy erupted when claims circulated online suggesting the dress had been damaged following the event, something Ripley&#039;s later denied.Despite this, Kardashian appears to be more concerned about her hair. &quot;Everyone was telling me, &#039;Don&#039;t do Marilyn hair because you&#039;ll look like a wax figure of her,&#039;&quot; she recalled.Kardashian arrived with her newly bleached blonde hair swept tightly into a bun, a styling choice she now regrets. Looking back at later photoshopped photos in which she had a more classic Monroe-inspired look, Kardashian decided, &quot;That would have been iconic.&quot;FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<title>Blake Lively seeks legal fees from Justin Baldoni over related lawsuit as lawyers each claim victory in settled matter</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The drawn-out legal dispute between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni may not be over, with the actress reportedly planning to seek legal fees from her former co-star over a related lawsuit.The It Ends With Us co-stars settled their ongoing legal dispute on Monday, two weeks ahead of a planned trial set to hear Lively&#039;s claims that Baldoni conspired with publicists to pre-emptively destroy her reputation after she had accused him of sexually harassing her on the movie set.But now a lawyer for the Gossip Girl alum has said there is one more hurdle to overcome: legal fees.&quot;The parties have fully and finally resolved all claims in the consolidated action, except one,&quot; Lively&#039;s lead attorney Michael Gottlieb wrote in a letter filed in a Manhattan court yesterday, per NBC News.An exemption in a notice of settlement, which was filed by both parties, states that Lively is seeking legal fees from Baldoni and his partners over a separate legal matter.However, Baldoni&#039;s attorneys argued in a legal filing that those penalties, if granted, could be &quot;draconian&quot;.Lively and Baldoni have been locked in a legal back and forth since December 2024, when the actress accused him of sexually harassing her while they were co-starring in the hit film It Ends with Us, which he also directed.READ MORE: Legendary &#039;80s singer in induced coma after emergency surgeryREAD MORE: Radio giant reveals $26m revenue hole from Kyle and Jackie O ShowREAD MORE: Robert Irwin teases huge new career move﻿She also alleged Baldoni and others, including his production company, Wayfarer Studios, retaliated by orchestrating a smear campaign against her.Baldoni has vehemently denied Lively&#039;s claims.Baldoni later launched his own multimillion-dollar lawsuit against the star and her husband Ryan Reynolds for defamation but this was later dismissed by a judge following a request from Lively.He also launched a defamation lawsuit against The New York Times which was dismissed.Lively withdrew claims of emotional distress from her lawsuit in June last year.The rest of the matter was due to go to court in March 2026 but was delayed.Then in April, a judge dismissed 10 of Lively&#039;s 13 claims﻿, including the sexual harassment allegations, before the warring parties settled the matter on May 4.They released a joint statement in which they said, &quot;Raising awareness, and making a meaningful impact in the lives of domestic violence survivors – and all survivors – is a goal that we stand behind.&quot;It is our sincere hope that this brings closure and allows all involved to move forward constructively and in peace, including a respectful environment online.&quot;Now it is believed Lively is seeking legal fees and damages from Baldoni over his countersuit.Whether they can settle the matter remains to be seen, given they cannot agree on who &#039;won&#039; their now settled legal fight, with both sides claiming victory yesterday.Lively&#039;s attorneys described the settlement as &quot;a resounding victory&quot; for their client, in a statement provided to E! News.﻿&quot;From day one, Blake Lively&#039;s mission was clear: expose and hold accountable those who weaponise smear campaigns and retaliatory lawsuits to intimidate and silence survivors. That mission continues.&quot;By agreeing to this settlement, and waiving their right to appeal, Justin Baldoni and every individual defendant now face personal liability for abusing the legal system to silence and intimidate Ms Lively.&quot;And by admitting that Ms Lively&#039;s concerns &#039;deserved to be heard&#039;, the defendants have ended once and for all the fiction that Ms Lively &#039;fabricated&#039; claims of sexual harassment and retaliation.&quot;For a daily dose of 9honey, subscribe to our newsletter here.However, when asked about the statement, Baldoni&#039;s attorney Bryan Freedman had a different view.&quot;Let&#039;s be clear, this is a win and total victory for the Wayfarer parties. The court had already dismissed 10 of Ms Lively&#039;s 13 claims, including every sexual harassment claim, every defamation claim, and all claims against the individual defendants.&quot;Ms Lively voluntarily dismissed the rest.&quot;In our view, they settled because they knew they were going to lose in court. All that remains is a pending request for fees based on a very narrow issue that has been with the court since September 2025.&quot;FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ When Sir David Attenborough ﻿celebrates his 100th birthday on May 8, he will no doubt receive well wishes from his many fans in celebrity and royal circles.The English born-broadcaster has been at the forefront of educating the public about the natural world for more than 70 years thanks to his numerous documentary series, and he is also a tireless environmentalist.But among those whom ﻿Attenborough will likely miss most when he marks his centenary is his older brother, the celebrated actor and filmmaker Lord Richard Attenborough, who died in 2014.Let&#039;s look back at their lives and the close bond they shared.Early yearsSir David Attenborough was born on May 8, 1926, in Middlesex, England, almost three years after Richard, who arrived on August 29, 1923. They also have a younger ﻿brother John, who was born in 1928.The three boys spent much of their childhood in the College House located on the campus of the University College in Leicester, where his father, Frederick, was the principal from 1932 to 1951.READ MORE: Sandilands&#039; explosive claim about former employer amid legal rowREAD MORE: Robert Irwin recalls brush with 317kg crocodileREAD MORE: Rule-breaking Met Gala selfie for 2026 is hereTheir mother, Mary, was a philanthropist and social activist who was also a founding member of the National Marriage Guidance Council, now known as Relate.During World War II, their parents fostered two Jewish refugee girls from Germany via the Refugee Children&#039;s Movement. They later adopted the girls after learning their parents had died.One of the girls was also instrumental in supporting David&#039;s pastime by gifting him a piece of amber that contained prehistoric insects.That same piece of amber was later the focus of an episode of his series Natural World.As a child, David collected fossils, stones and natural specimens.When David was about 10, he and Richard attended a lecture by Archibald Belaney, who was also known as &#039;Grey Owl&#039;. The Canadian conservationist – who claimed to be part Native American but this was later found to be false – had authored a number of books and was on a speaking tour of the UK.It remained a core memory for both brothers, with Richard telling The Independent in 2006, &quot;My brother, Dave, got the book signed and marched out with it under his arm, and I&#039;ve never been able to get that book off him to this day. Possession is nine-tenths of the law, and the bugger won&#039;t give it to me&quot;. ﻿The lecture also sparked something in both brothers. For David, it prompted his lifelong fight for conservation, while decades later, Richard directed the film Grey Owl, starring Pierce Brosnan.While promoting the film, Richard said the lecture had a profound effect on David, who was &quot;bowled over by the man&#039;s determination to save the beaver, by his profound knowledge of the flora and fauna of the Canadian wilderness and by his warnings of ecological disaster should the delicate balance between them be destroyed&quot;.&quot;The idea that mankind was endangering nature by recklessly despoiling and plundering its riches was unheard of at the time, but it is one that has remained part of David&#039;s own credo to this day.&quot;Early ﻿signs of ambitionBoth boys, and their younger brother, attended ﻿Wyggeston Grammar School for Boys in Leicester.﻿Richard was still at school when he showed an interest in acting. He played Lucius in a 1937 production of Julius Caesar at Leicester&#039;s Little Theatre.The theatre manager helped coach Richard before his successful audition for the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA). He moved to London but his drama training was interrupted about a year later when he was conscripted into the Royal Air Force.After undergoing initial pilot training, he was seconded to the Royal Air Force Film Production Unit at Pinewood Studios in England, which trained combat cameramen, produced films and documented RAF activities.He rose to the rank of sergeant, took part in several operations over Europe, and starred in the unit&#039;s film Journey Together before the war ended in 1945.Meanwhile, David won a scholarship to study geology and zoology, and obtained a degree in natural sciences before being called up for national service, and spent two years in the navy.Forging careersAfter the navy, David edited children&#039;s science textbooks for a publishing company. In 1950, he applied for a job as a radio talk producer with the BBC.He was unsuccessful, but his resume caught the eye of the head of the new factual broadcasting department of BBC television service.After three months&#039; training, ﻿he joined the BBC fulltime and worked as a producer before he was chosen to host the three-part series Animal Patterns, which aired in 1953.﻿ This was followed by another series, Zoo Quest.He later declined joining the BBC&#039;s new Natural History Unit to front his own Travel and Exploration Unit, and later studied a postgraduate degree in social anthropology.In 1965, he became Controller of the new BBC Two. He oversaw the schedule, and brought snooker to the BBC in the form of the TV show Pot Black.He was also instrumental in tennis balls being made in yellow so they would show up better on TV.﻿He became director of programs across both BBC channels in 1969 and several years later, was in the running to be Director-General of the BBC. Unsure what to do, he phoned Richard for advice, before confessing he did not want the job.Instead, he left the director of programs role to concentrate on making the highly successful natural history series Life on Earth, which was first broadcast in 1979.It was followed by The Living Planet and The Trials of Life, and a host of other &#039;Life; series.Meanwhile, after the war, Richard threw himself into acting, both in film and on stage.But it wasn&#039;t until 1963 that he appeared in his first big Hollywood film, The Great Escape, as RAF Squadron Leader Roger Bartlett opposite Steve McQueen and James Garner.He went on to star in a number of other wartime films, including Guns at Batasi, which earned him a BAFTA for Best Actor, and The Flight of the Phoenix.He won back-to-back Best Supporting Actor Golden Globe Awards for The Sand Pebbles and Doctor Dolittle. But after a role in the 1979 film The Human Factor, he stepped away from acting to work as a producer and director because he wanted a greater say in the films he made.It paid off. He won the Academy Award for Best Director for the 1982 film Gandhi, and also received a Best Picture Oscar for producing the film.He made the musical A Chorus Line and the anti-apartheid film Cry Freedom, ﻿and directed and produced the 1992 film Chaplin, and the following year&#039;s Shadowlands.He returned to acting ﻿in the 1993 film Jurassic Park, playing park operator John Hammond, and reprised the role in the 1997&#039;s ﻿The Lost World: Jurassic Park.He also played Kris Kringle in the 1994 remake of Miracle on 34th Street.﻿Richard received a knighthood in 1976 for services to film, and became Lord Attenborough in 1993 after receiving a life peerage, while David was knighted in 1985 for services to broadcasting and was later appointed a Knight Grand Cross.In 2006, they both became distinguished honorary fellows of the University of Leicester their father once led.Supporting each other through tragedies﻿On Boxing Day, 2004, Richard&#039;s eldest daughter, Jane Holland, whom he shared with his actress wife Sheila Sim, was killed in the tsunami that struck Khao Lak, Thailand, where she was holidaying.Also killed was his 15-year-old granddaughter, Lucy, and his daughter&#039;s mother-in-law. Another granddaughter was badly injured. but survived, as did his grandson.As with most other times in their lives, notably, when David lost his beloved wife of 47 years, Jane, in 1997, following a brain haemorrhage, the brothers relied on each other to get through the tragedy.﻿At the time, they lived less than one kilometre apart in neighbouring suburbs of south London.Richard had lived ﻿in his famed home, known as Old Friars, since 1949. Two years later, David moved nearby.He told The Mirror in 2015 how they came to live so close to each other.﻿&quot;I visited [Richard]. It was a great place, so I found a place nearby. I lived half a mile from him and we saw quite a bit of one another.&quot;&#039;Terrific teacher&#039;﻿During a 2008 interview with The Guardian, Richard said his brother was, more than anything, a terrific teacher.&quot;What Dave&#039;s really doing on the box is teaching you, and in the most skilful, almost surreptitious way, he plants information,&quot; he said.He also revealed they were &quot;identical, pretty well&quot; and shared a love of dirty jokes.For a daily dose of 9honey, subscribe to our newsletter here.&quot;I adore him. We get on so well because basically we have a fourth-form sense of vulgarity,&quot; he said.Devastating loss﻿Richard died in 2014, at the age of 90, after a long battle with ill health that began in 2008 when he suffered a stroke that left him confined to a wheelchair.Five months after this death, David told The Mirror he would never get over the loss.&quot;You don&#039;t get over these things. You accommodate them, you deal with them, but you don&#039;t get over them,&quot; he said.&quot;I last saw him a week or so before he died. He couldn&#039;t talk, he couldn&#039;t walk. Of course he was a shadow of his former self.&quot;He&#039;d damaged his brain. All people who&#039;ve sustained those kinds of injuries... of course they change. [But] he was a very dear brother and he is missed.﻿&quot;My only regret is that he&#039;s not here any more. The worst moments of your life are these intimate personal bereavements.&quot;During a 2014 interview with Radio Times, David admitted to one regret – that audiences did not get to see how funny his brother was.&quot;We just spent all our time roaring with laughter – and that didn&#039;t get much of an outlet in his feature films. I mean, Christmas time, you know, we just sat around, roaring with laughter,&quot; he said.His brother&#039;s death also made him accept his own mortality.Then aged in his late 80s he said, &quot;I think anybody in their 80s is bound to think that they&#039;re coming to the end of things.&quot;You&#039;ve got to drop off the bar sometime. But that makes me think I ought to do more rather than less.&quot;And do more he did, with David continuing to work right up until now.﻿ But sadly, as he celebrates his 100th birthday, it will be without his beloved brother by his side.﻿FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ Hailey Bieber is tired of being &quot;picked apart&quot;.The 29-year-old seems to have it all together, with an enviable career, a seven-year marriage to Justin Bieber, 32, and their 20-month-old son Jack Blues Bieber.But ﻿with all of that fame and success has come a side effect that makes the beauty mogul &quot;really uncomfortable&quot;.&quot;Being in this position, in general, there&#039;s a lot of judgment,&quot; Hailey told Time in an interview to mark her skincare brand Rhode being named ﻿one of Time100&#039;s Most Influential Companies of 2026.&quot;When you&#039;re trying to figure out who you are on such a big scale and in front of so many different people, it feels really restricting to make really normal mistakes or, like, do the wrong thing or say the wrong thing.&quot;She said speaking to media made her nervous, &quot;because I find that my words get twisted or things get totally misconstrued&quot;.She wanted to be able to be completely herself, but had found that was not accepted in the past.READ MORE: Hugh reveals the &#039;priceless&#039; Met Gala moment we didn&#039;t seeREAD MORE: Man missing from David Attenborough&#039;s side as he turns 100READ MORE: Amy Shark highlights dark side of Aussie music industry&quot;It just does feel hard sometimes having every single thing be looked at and picked apart.

<title>Why there was no Met Gala reunion for Brooklyn Beckham and brother Romeo</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/why-there-was-no-met-gala-reunion-for-brooklyn-beckham-and-brother-romeo</link>

<description><![CDATA[ There were reports that Brooklyn Beckham was set to come face-to-face with his brother Romeo Beckham at the 2026 Met Gala – but it never happened. Now it&#039;s been revealed that while the 23-year-old made his debut at fashion&#039;s night of nights earlier this week, after being invited by Burberry, his older brother wasn&#039;t on the guest list. Brooklyn, 27, and wife Nicola Peltz Beckham, 31, have previously attended, but Anna Wintour appears to have sided with his famous parents amid their ongoing feud.The eldest Beckham child blew up his relationship with Victoria and Sir David Beckham when he released a blistering six-page statement in January. But a source close to Wintour has spoken about her loyalty, and her close friendship with the fashion designer. &quot;She&#039;s been close friends with the Beckhams for years … she&#039;s the first one in the door at Victoria&#039;s shows. And while it was rumoured Brooklyn and Nicola were invited last year, that never happened. Anna protects her friends,&quot; the source told Page Six.  The couple have attended the Met Gala in 2021, 2022 and 2023, while he went solo in 2024, but this year they were absent from the coveted event. READ MORE: Legendary &#039;80s singer undergoes emergency surgeryREAD MORE: Richard Branson&#039;s wife&#039;s cause of death revealed﻿READ MORE: Reality star&#039;s admission after marriage breakdownPage Six reports that Wintour has allegedly frozen out Brooklyn and Nicola, appearing to make a stance on where she sides on the ongoing feud. Wintour is a long-time friend with David and Victoria, and even flew to London in 2023 to show her support at the premiere of David&#039;s Netflix series Beckham. The fashion icon is now working with the documentary&#039;s director, Fisher Stevens, after meeting him through the Beckhams, according to the outlet.Rumours of tensions between Brooklyn and his parents started last May when he and Nicola skipped David&#039;s milestone 50th celebrations.As the months went on, more rumours pointed to a feud, but it all reached boiling point in January with his scathing social media takedown. In the months since Brooklyn and Nicola have stayed relatively quiet, but Victoria and David have both spoken out publicly and made efforts to extend an olive branch to their eldest son. Most recently the fashion designer made an appearance on Emma Grede&#039;s Aspire podcast and inadvertently hit back at Brooklyn&#039;s claim that she had &quot;controlled narratives&quot; about him and the family his &quot;whole life.&quot;When talking about raising her children in the spotlight, Victoria told Grede ﻿her children &quot;had a very different upbringing&quot; from her and David.&quot;I&#039;ve always wanted to be the best mum I could be and look after the kids, but I also feel that it&#039;s been part of my job to really help them fulfil their full potential and for them to recognise what their sense of purpose is,&quot; she said.&quot;﻿Anything that I could do to support [them], to encourage, and to help ... that&#039;s my job as his mum.&quot;It&#039;s never about being pushy or forcing. It&#039;s being there to support.&quot;FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<title>Radio giant reveals $26m revenue hole from Kyle and Jackie O Show</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The Australian Radio Network (ARN) lost more than $26 million in advertising revenue as a result of the unsavoury content aired on the Kyle and Jackie O Show before its demise.The revelation was made during ARN&#039;s annual general meeting held today.ARN Media owns and operates the KIIS network, which aired the Kyle and Jackie O Show until it was pulled off the air in March amid the fallout of an on-air stoush between its two stars, Kyle Sandilands and Jackie Henderson, on February 20.During the AGM, ARN chief executive Michael Stephenson conceded it had lost more than $26 million in advertising revenue as a result of an exodus of advertisers who wished to distance themselves from the show&#039;s unsavoury content before it was pulled off the air.﻿It contributed to a 10 per cent total revenue decline during the 2025 financial year, down to $285 million.The admission is more shocking given that Sandilands and Henderson&#039;s pay packets were a combined $20 million a year before they were pulled off air.&quot;Over time, I expect that a significant percentage of the $26 million of revenue that was lost through the year because of brand safety concerns to return,&quot; Stephenson said.READ MORE: Sandilands claims network cashed in on fights with co-hostREAD MORE: Richard Branson&#039;s wife&#039;s cause of death revealedREAD MORE: Reality star&#039;s admission after marriage breakdownDuring the AGM, ARN&#039;s chairman and non-executive Director Hamish McLennan was asked about reports he personally signed the $200 million contract with Kyle and Jackie O, which were each worth $100 million.The pair inked the deals in 2023, which was meant to keep them on-air until 2033, but are now the subject of separate lawsuits brought by the former co-hosts.&quot;The actual contracts weren&#039;t signed by myself, but I did sign a ﻿document that showed our commitment to rejoining,&quot; he told the AGM.&quot;They were the largest radio talent that we had at the time and they were responsible for a lot of revenue coming in the door.&quot;And at the time, we were dealing with a competitive offer and so... we threw everything at the contract.&quot;Those contracts have since been terminated by ARN.Since then, both Sandilands and Henderson have launched separate lawsuits challenging the contract terminations and each claiming compensation of $82 million – the amount left to pay out on the 10-year contracts.McLennan addressed the current legal dispute involving Quasar Media, which is owned by Sandilands, and Jackie&#039;s Henderson Media about seven minutes into the AGM.&quot;As shareholders are aware, an incident occurred on air between Kyle Sandilands and Jackie Henderson on February 20, 2026,&quot; he read from a prepared statement.&quot;Following that incident, Ms Henderson took a leave of absence, during which she received the full support and care of management.&quot;On February 26, 2026, Ms Henderson advised that she could not &#039;continue to work with Mr Sandilands&#039; and that &#039;direct contact with Mr Sandilands [was] now untenable&#039;.&quot;The company considered this a repudiation of her contract, on the basis that it was not possible for her to perform her core contractual requirement to deliver the &#039;Kyle and Jackie O show&#039; and, as a result, her contract was terminated.&quot;McLennan said the company &quot;engaged with Ms Henderson about the possibility of an alternative show on the ARN network, however an agreement was never reached&quot;.&quot;The company also formed the view that Mr Sandilands&#039; conduct on February 20, 2026, amounted to serious misconduct. He was given 14 days to remedy; when he failed to do so, his contract was also terminated.&quot;Mr Sandilands and Ms Henderson have each filed a statement of claim against ARN Media, and we have now filed defences in response to each. ARN Media has also filed cross-claims.&quot;McLennan said that because the matters arose after the release of their results on February 25, &quot;the matter was not required to be disclosed in the full year accounts for 2025&quot;.&quot;I would like to assure shareholders that the board is committed to defending these claims and actively pursuing the cross-claims,&quot; he continued.&quot;As these matters are now before the courts, we do not intend to comment further.&quot;﻿Later, when asked about the company&#039;s long-term financial future in light of the demise of the Kyle and Jackie O show, ﻿McLennan reiterated he would not talk about the show given it was before the courts.Shareholders revolted over the company&#039;s executive pay packets, given significant drops in the share price, and overwhelmingly voted against the company&#039;s remuneration report, including Stephenson&#039;s fixed $1.1 million pay, with more than 90 per cent of proxy votes opposing the remuneration report.McLennan was re-elected as chairman, despite 20 per cent of proxy votes opposing his re-election.In the lead-up to the AGM, he had faced pressure from investors to step down.There as also been widespread criticism of his paypacket.He promised to make a $500 million investment in the company as a &quot;demonstration of my confidence in the company&#039;s strategy&quot;.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ Kyle Sandilands&#039; tipped replacement, Kris Fade, was seen being grilled in the street over rumours he&#039;ll take over the radio host&#039;s coveted KIIS FM slot.The Dubai-based radio host, ﻿who leads the biggest radio breakfast show in the UAE, was approached by Kyle and Jackie O&#039;s former boss Craig Bruce in a cheeky Instagram video.Watch the video above.﻿Bruce, who was program director at 2DayFM during the radio duo&#039;s reign at the station, was in Toronto, Canada finishing &quot;a couple of presentations&quot; when he spotted Fade.&quot;Great presentation, mate,&quot; Bruce began. ﻿&quot;I&#039;m not even going to ask you the question, Kris.&quot;In the video, Fade grabbed the camera, seemingly addressing the rumours.&quot;I&#039;m saying nothing. I&#039;m saying absolutely nothing,&quot; Kris responded. &quot;You think I&#039;m going to say anything?&quot;READ MORE:﻿ Twist as Kyle Sandilands teases &#039;new project&#039; amid bitter legal warREAD MORE:﻿ Pop star reveals heart-stopping cheating revelation on stageREAD MORE: Why Sting won&#039;t leave $760m fortune to his six kids&quot;Listen, firstly I want to say thank you for all the beautiful words you&#039;ve said,&quot; Fade went on.&quot;I&#039;m happy in Dubai, I&#039;m in Dubai. But, you know whatever happens, happens.&quot;We&#039;ll see where life takes you, you never know.&quot;Industry veterans ﻿Jen Seyderhelm and Steve Ahern were the first to bring up the hot tip Fade could be replacing Sandilands.Speaking on ﻿the Radio Today podcast, Seyderhelm revealed that during the global Radio Days summit in March, Fade was asked if he had been approached by the Australian Radio Network (ARN) following Sandilands axing.According to the duo, Kris replied &quot;no comment&quot;.If Fade were ﻿to move his show to ARN, question remains over whether they can offer a pay packet appealing enough to the wealthy Dubai socialite.&quot;Kris Fade is the biggest name in entertainment in Dubai,&quot; a source told nine.com.au.&quot;He&#039;s interviewed all the biggest names in Hollywood – Kim Kardashian, Will Smith... Smith actually helped him propose to his wife.&quot;He&#039;d have to be offered a huge amount of money – we&#039;re talking millions a year – to leave Dubai which he has called his home for so many years,&quot; the source explained.Perhaps the star could be convinced for the right price?Fade&#039;s wife ﻿Brianna Ramirez (now Brianna Fade) and his son have been seen in Sydney in recent weeks, only spurring on speculation.Interestingly, Fade already has a history with KIIS FM, ﻿with the network picking up the Australian-focused version of his show on weekends in 2018, which aired every Sunday for a few years.Fade is an Australian national who moved from Sydney to Dubai in 2008, landing a job on Virgin Radio and taking the UAE by storm with his breakfast program The Kris Fade Show.Like The Kyle and Jackie O Show once was in Australia, his is the biggest and most listened -to radio breakfast show in the UAE.Fade also featured in Netflix&#039;s reality series Dubai Bling alongside his wife Brianna.The media personality is so famous in the Middle East that Madame Tussauds Dubai honoured him with a wax figure.ARN pulled the $200 million deal they had with Jackie O Henderson and Kyle Sandilands over a now-infamous on-air blow-up.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ V﻿ictoria Beckham has doubled down amid the ongoing feud with her eldest son, saying she&#039;s never been &quot;pushy or forceful&quot; with her children.During her appearance on Emma Grede&#039;s Aspire podcast, the fashion designer inadvertently hit back at Brooklyn&#039;s claim that she had &quot;controlled narratives&quot; about him and the family his &quot;whole life.&quot;When talking about raising her children in the spotlight, Victoria told Grede ﻿her children &quot;had a very different upbringing&quot; from her and husband David Beckham.Watch the video above.﻿&quot;I&#039;ve always wanted to be the best mum I could be and look after the kids, but I also feel that it&#039;s been part of my job to really help them fulfil their full potential and for them to recognise what their sense of purpose is,&quot; she said.&quot;﻿Anything that I could do to support [them], to encourage, and to help ... that&#039;s my job as his mum.&quot;It&#039;s never about being pushy or forcing. It&#039;s being there to support.&quot;She went on to talk about her youngest son Cruz&#039;s music career, and about her daughter Harper.READ MORE: The 2026 rule-breaking Met Gala selfie is hereREAD MORE: Why the castle was just voted Australia&#039;s favourite filmREAD MORE:﻿ The Aussie stars who shone on the Met Gala red carpet&quot;﻿I&#039;m so proud of all of the children, but you know, Harper, she&#039;s very ambitious,&quot; the Spice Girl said.&quot;She&#039;s got big dreams. She&#039;s finding her own sense of purpose and what she wants to do.&quot;She also touched on how &quot;close&quot; the family is, saying they eat dinner together every night without the distractions of phones.Victoria went on to talk about how parenting children is different to parenting adults, avoiding talking directly about the Brooklyn situation while still seemingly hinting at it. ﻿&quot;﻿I think that it&#039;s very different parenting adult children to parenting smaller children ... I&#039;m just trying to do the best that I can,&quot; she said.&quot;They grow up so quickly, it&#039;s my job to make sure that my kids are the best versions of themselves and that they feel fulfilled.&quot;Victoria stayed silent for weeks following Brooklyn&#039;s bombshell statement earlier this year, in which he claimed his family constantly mistreated his wife Nicola Peltz-Beckham.However, she&#039;s recently been ramping up her interview and press appearances.Meanwhile, Brooklyn has stayed silent ﻿but has continued missing major family events.Brooklyn and Nicola both skipped David&#039;s milestone 50th celebrations last May.In the months since there were rumours circulating of a family feud, which Brooklyn confirmed in a blistering six-page statement he released on social media in January.Brooklyn made several claims about his parents, from allegations of what really happened on his wedding day to claims they controlled him and shared &quot;performative social media posts.&quot;Reports have also emerged that Brooklyn and Nicola have engaged lawyers to tell his parents the only way they will communicate is through them.Despite the legal letter, David and Victoria have both sent public messages to their son, including social media posts to wish him a happy birthday in March.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ Beyoncé and Jay-Z&#039;s oldest daughter Blue Ivy made quite the statement during her Met Gala debut yesterday by refusing one simple request.﻿The 14-year-old, who was one of the last to arrive on the 2026 red carpet, stunned in white bubble Balenciaga gown paired with dark sunglasses she refused to take off.A video moment shows the teen ignoring two assistants and her father&#039;s repeated requests to remove the shades as the famed family posed for photos. ﻿Watch the video above. ﻿In the video, Blue Ivy poses ﻿with mum Beyoncé, 44, and Jay-Z, 56, who first signals to her to remove her shades in front of a crowd of onlookers. But his request is ignored.Crowded by shouting paparazzi, two assistants then rush in, gesturing to the teen to take off her sunglasses, but Blue Ivy keeps them firmly in place.Blue Ivy&#039;s presence alone is an exception to one strict Met Gala rule set by Vogue editor Anna Wintour that no one under the age of 18 can attend the glamorous event.READ MORE:﻿ The 2026 Met Gala selfie is here: What went on inside the eventIN PICTURES: Stars show off their style as the Met Gala 2026 after parties kick off﻿READ MORE:﻿ Aussie star forced to drop Cannes honour after injuryBut it seems when your mum is ﻿Beyoncé, and a co-chair for the 2026 Met Gala, the rules can be bent.In 2018, event organisers implemented the rule attendees must be over 18 years old, deeming the event inappropriate for minors, despite stars such as Elle Fanning, Hailee Steinfeld and Willow Smith having attended previous galas in their early teens.This year appears to be the first since the rule was implemented that an exception has been made.Not just for Beyoncé, but also for fellow co-chair Nicole Kidman, who brought her 17-year-old daughter, Sunday Rose Kidman, as her date.&quot;It feels surreal because my daughter&#039;s here,&quot; Beyoncé told Vogue on the red carpet.&quot;It&#039;s incredible to be able to share it with her.&quot;There was a huge reaction when the singer and her family arrived, and it&#039;s not hard to see why.﻿This is the first Met Gala Beyoncé has attended in a decade, last appearing on the carpet back in 2016.The music powerhouse wore a glittering diamond-encrusted gown in the shape of a skeleton by Olivier Rousteing.The gown took a team of eight people to carry it up the stairs.She completed the look with an enormous feathered train draped around her arms and glittering sunburst-shaped headpiece.Blue Ivy arrived arm-in-arm with her dad Jay-Z, the pair in contrasting white and black outfits.﻿FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ He is the son of the original crocodile hunter, but it doesn&#039;t mean Robert Irwin always gets the upper hand with the powerful beasts.During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon he revealed he was &#039;death rolled&#039; by a 4.2 metre long crocodile, who was aptly named Jimmy Fallon.The 22-year-old conservationist turned TV star both in Australia and the US, was appearing on the talk show for an unbelievable 14th time when attention turned to the near-death experience.Watch the video above.&quot;I know you had a baby crocodile you named Jimmy Fallon,&quot; the host asked.&quot;I did. You know what Jimmy? He&#039;s not a baby anymore,&quot; Irwin began.&quot;I named this crocodile Jimmy Fallon years ago ﻿and he&#039;s now what we call a &#039;boss croc&#039;. He&#039;s huge.&quot;READ MORE: Rule-breaking Met Gala selfie for 2026 is hereREAD MORE: Major star hides her new engagement ring at the Met﻿IN PICTURES: All of the dazzling Met Gala after party looksAnd when he says huge, he means it, with the croc coming in at roughly 317-kilograms.Irwin then explained that his father had come up with the famous move to tackle a crocodile they researched in the wild – jumping on their backs – and he decided to give it a go with the croc in question.&quot;So I jumped on the back of Jimmy Fallon – and... he death-rolled me,&quot; he continued.&quot;I kid you not. 14-foot (4.2m) of crocodile – big croc – death-rolled me.&quot;&quot;So I am stuck underneath him with my arm hanging out. I&#039;ve got... probably 700 pounds on top of me. And I am just like, &#039;What do I do?&#039;&quot; Irwin recalled.&quot;And luckily he rolled back the other way and I was fine. But, he&#039;s a goer, Jimmy.&quot;Elsewhere in the show, they discussed Robert&#039;s time on the US version of Dancing with the Stars, which ﻿he won last November, and his upcoming gig as host of a new spin-off, Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro.For a daily dose of 9honey, subscribe to our newsletter here.Irwin will host the show, which searches for a new professional dancer to join the cast of the US Dancing with the Stars.The show, which premieres in July, was shot in Brisbane, and according to Irwin, Australia Zoo will feature in an episode.But while Irwin is busy forging a career in the entertainment world, both in Australia and the US, he told Fallon he was first and foremost a wildlife warrior.&quot;I&#039;m on so many side quests right now. I never thought I﻿&#039;d be out there dancing but at the core of everything I do, it&#039;s about continuing a legacy.&quot;Our conservation work goes from strength to strength.&quot;The charity Wildlife Warriors... that&#039;s what it&#039;s all about for me. Keeping that going.﻿&quot;Wildlife Warriors was established in 2002 by Steve and Terri Irwin, and has been managed by Terri since Steve&#039;s death in September 2006, with Robert and his older sister Bindi also heavily involved.Fallon surprised Irwin with a photo of him appearing on the show at just 13.Irwin said that first appearance on the show was &quot;a way to spread to spread my passion ﻿for conservation, really, for the first time, to America. It really kicked off so much&quot;.﻿FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ Country singing superstar Dolly Parton has cancelled her six-show residency in Las Vegas, due to take place later this year, amid ongoing health concerns.The 9 to 5 and Jolene singer, 80, took to Instagram overnight to announce she would not be proceeding with the six shows, which had already been postponed once, due to take place in September.Parton took to Instagram with a long video that contained a health update delivered in her usual tongue-in-cheek style.Watch the video above.&quot;Well, hey there it&#039;s Dolly and I am here to give you an update on a few things going on in my life,&quot; she said.&quot;First, it&#039;s concerning my health and I have some good news and a little bad news.&quot;The good news is, I&#039;m responding really well to meds and treatments, and I&#039;m improving every day.READ MORE: Star couple announce birth of third childREAD MORE: Why Bindi skipped the annual Steve Irwin Gala againREAD MORE: Rebel Wilson welcomes second child during court battle﻿&quot;Now the bad news is, it&#039;s gonna take me a little while before I&#039;m up to stage performance-levels because some of the meds and treatments make me a little bit &#039;swimmy headed&#039;, as my grandma used to say,&quot; she continued.&quot;And of course, I can&#039;t be dizzy carrying around banjos, guitars and such on five-inch heels... Not to mention all those heavy rhinestone outfits, the big hair, my big... err personality.&quot;But just think of me as like an old classic car that, once restored, can be better than ever.&quot;Keeping with the car analogy, Parton said she needed to &quot;rebuild my engine&quot; before she could take to the stage again.She also shed new light on the illnesses she has been battling since last year.While she said she had long suffered from kidney stones, &quot;my immune system and my digestive system got all out of whack over the past... couple of years&quot;, before adding her doctors were &quot;working really hard on rebuilding and strengthening those&quot;.&quot;I have great doctors and I&#039;m doing really well, and they assure me that everything I have is treatable, so I&#039;m going with that.&quot;Parton said she was deliberately keeping the announcement &quot;light and airy&quot; because &quot;a happy heart is like good medicine&quot;.She also said she was still working, despite her ill health.&quot;I still do videos, I still record, I run up and down to Dollywood now and then, and I&#039;m working hard on getting my museum and my hotel open in Nashville later this year,&quot; she said.Parton said she was &quot;writing and reworking&quot; the Broadway musical about her life, which was due to open in coming months, and thanked fans for their support following the death of her husband of almost 60 years, Carl Dean, who died in March 2025.&quot;A lot of you have been concerned about me and Carl, and you were so great about that... but you would be surprised at how much your love and concern meant to me during that time,&quot; she said.&quot;So, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you. You have been a big part of my healing.&quot;Parton ﻿had originally been due to perform the Las Vegas shows in December 2025 but they were postponed two months earlier.At the time, fans became alarmed after Parton&#039;s sister Freida asked fans to pray for the star.Parton said she was &quot;truly sorry that I am going to miss all of you that had tickets to see me in Las Vegas&quot;, and thanked her fans for &quot;standing by me&quot;, before ending the video with a reference to one of her most famous songs.&quot;I will always love you,&quot; she said. ﻿Parton uploaded the video along with the comment, &quot;Thank you for standing by me and showing me so much love and support over the past year. I&#039;ve still got some healing to do, but I am on my way! See you soon&quot;.Parton is one of the most successful musical artists of all time, having recorded 50 albums during a career spanning almost 60 years, and selling more than 100 million records worldwide.She is also a ﻿prolific songwriter and famously wrote two of her biggest hits, Jolene, and I Will Always Love You – which later became a huge hit for Whitney Houston – on the same day.She amassed a fortune totalling more than $1 billion during her long career, which included creating her own fragrance line, and investing in a theme park in Tennessee that she renamed Dollywood.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<title>Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni end It Ends With Us dispute with a settlement</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Hollywood&#039;s nastiest lawsuit is finally over.﻿Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni have agreed to end their legal battle over the acrimonious production of their 2024 film It Ends With Us.The two sides settled their legal dispute Monday ahead of a planned trial over Lively’s claims that Baldoni conspired with publicists to pre-emptively destroy her reputation after she privately accused him of sexually harassing her on the movie set.Watch the video above.In a joint statement, the sides said: “Raising awareness, and making a meaningful impact in the lives of domestic violence survivors – and all survivors – is a goal that we stand behind... It is our sincere hope that this brings closure and allows all involved to move forward constructively and in peace, including a respectful environment online.&quot;Baldoni, who directed the film and starred in it with Lively, had denied harassing her or orchestrating a smear campaign. He’d claimed the complaints about his behaviour were made up by Lively as part of an effort to seize creative control of the movie. The settlement will allow both sides to avoid a trial that would have featured Hollywood’s ugliest side and potentially led to more image-damaging revelations.With the lawsuit now over, Lively made a surprise appearance ﻿at the 2026 Met Gala.READ MORE: Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden welcome third childREAD MORE: Why Bindi skipped the annual Steve Irwin Gala againIN PICTURES: Every Met Gala red carpet arrivalThe actress is wearing an archival Versace gown with some Met Gala-ready modifications.&quot;It looks like a sunrise and a sunset and watercolour,&quot; she said on the red carpet.The gown&#039;s long train cascaded around her as she made her way up the iconic Met stairs.Lively&#039;s handbag included a sweet nod to her family, covered in watercolour designs by her four children.﻿She finished the look with her blonde locks curled loose around her shoulders and accessorised with drop earrings that matched the colours of her gown. ﻿Lively has been a mainstay on the Met Gala red carpet for years, although this marked her return for the first time since 2022.She was also solo, hitting the fashion event without husband Ryan Reynolds by her side. ﻿Both Lively and Baldoni had some of their legal claims tossed out by the judge in recent months.Lively’s sexual harassment claims were dismissed in early April by Judge Lewis J. Liman, who ruled that she couldn’t pursue them under federal law because she was an independent contractor rather than an employee when she worked on the movie.The same judge previously dismissed a lawsuit in which Baldoni and his production company, Wayfarer Studios, accused Lively and her husband, Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds, of defamation and extortion.It Ends With Us, an adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling 2016 novel, was released in August 2024, exceeding box office expectations.In her lawsuit, Lively said that during filming, Baldoni made inappropriate comments about her appearance, violated physical boundaries while filming a love scene, and pushed for nudity – against Lively’s wishes – during a scene in which her character was giving birth.Baldoni denied doing anything outside the realm of the normal creative process of making a movie.The judge, in the decision tossing out the sexual harassment claims, acknowledged the complexity of the matter, noting that creative artists “must have some amount of space to experiment within the bounds of an agreed script without fear of being held liable for sexual harassment.”The trial was to focus on Lively’s claim that Baldoni and the studio retaliated against her sexual harassment complaints by hiring publicists to turn the public against her.Her lawyers said that campaign including hiring a “digital army” to post bogus negative content about Lively on social media platforms, and feeding “manufactured content to unwitting reporters.”The lawsuit said the purpose was to “retaliate against Ms. Lively by battering her image, harming her businesses, and causing her family severe emotional harm.”Baldoni’s lawyers have claimed it was Lively who was strategically manipulating Baldoni’s public image, partly by leveraging help from her famous friends.Lively appeared in the 2005 film The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants and the TV series Gossip Girl from 2007 to 2012 before starring in films including The Town and The Shallows.Baldoni starred in the TV comedy Jane the Virgin, directed the 2019 film Five Feet Apart and wrote Man Enough, a book challenging traditional notions of masculinity.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ Four years on from Shane Warne&#039;s death, his daughter Brooke has opened up about her journey with grief and the one message from him she still thinks of. The cricketing legend died suddenly in 2022 from a heart attack and the 29-year-old admitted that this grief is something that will never go away. &quot;You learn how to live without a part of you. It&#039;s such a weird thing, we like to say it comes in waves, when you&#039;re going through it it&#039;s like the waves of the ocean,&quot; she told the Adelaide Advertiser. &quot;My Dad had this little saying – keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground. Being grounded is very important so it&#039;s been tough but I&#039;m lucky to have the people around me that I do, the support network is very important.&quot; She admitted that some days are easier than others, and there are times where she could almost imagine that Shane was about to walk in the front door. For Brooke, one of the most difficult things about processing her grief was having to do it in the public eye. Warne was one of the most beloved sportsmen across the globe, with his death making international headlines, and in turn his children were also put into the spotlight too.READ MORE: Seinfeld star&#039;s response to lingering questionREAD MORE: Major star spotted at AFL game in SydneyREAD MORE: Ryan Reynolds &#039;completely gutted&#039; after $250m lossWhile she admitted she and siblings Jackson and Summer are used to being in the spotlight, after growing up this way, it was &quot;infuriating.&quot; &quot;Dad worked so hard his whole life and went through so much scrutiny and we have always dealt with it and unfortunately after he passed, it got bad for a while with people camping out the front of our house at 6am not even 12 hours after he had passed.

<description><![CDATA[ Despite their ongoing feud, Brooklyn Beckham ﻿and Romeo Beckham could be in for a tense run-in at this year&#039;s Met Gala.Over the weekend the eldest of the Beckham kids once again snubbed a family milestone, skipping out on publicly ﻿wishing his dad David Beckham a happy birthday. But now reports are swirling that Romeo may be attending ﻿&#039;Fashion&#039;s biggest night&#039; this year, an event that his brother and wife Nicola Peltz Beckham are no strangers to. There are reports that 23-year-old Romeo will be making his Met Gala debut this year. This comes after he was spotted at a star-studded pre-Met Gala celebration over the weekend.Though it remains to be seen whether either of the warring brothers will be suiting up for the The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City tomorrow, the question over what will happen if they are forced into proximity remains.If the reunion comes to pass, it&#039;ll be the first time they&#039;ve been under the same roof publicly since the dramatic family fallout first came to light a year ago.

<description><![CDATA[ A﻿ UK reality star claims he was &quot;suddenly axed&quot; from a popular game show because he wanted to go public with his partner, who is an OnlyFans model.Giant, whose real name is Jamie Bigg, starred in three season of BBC&#039;s Gladiators, which features buff &quot;superhumans&quot; taking on agility, speed and strength challenges.Bigg, 40, told Good Morning Britain he believes he was let go because his partner Taylor Ryan, 28, creates adult content on online subscription service OnlyFans.Watch the video above.﻿The pair, who went Instagram-official earlier this week﻿, appeared on the British morning program today, claiming Bigg faced an ultimatum between his TV career and his relationship.&quot;I was told my season four contract wasn&#039;t being renewed because of my relationship,&quot; he told the hosts.&quot;I count myself as a role model, and one of those values as a role model is to stick by the people I love.READ MORE: Ryan Reynolds &#039;completely gutted&#039; after $250m lossREAD MORE: Seinfeld star&#039;s response to question lingering over sitcomREAD MORE:﻿ Sydney Sweeney catches an AFL game with her dad&quot;So I decided, and I imagine other people in my situation would have found it very hard to walk away from an amazing opportunity of being a Gladiator.&quot;﻿Ryan chimed in, telling the hosts Bigg&#039;s choice &quot;﻿was a very telling moment of the type of man that he is.&quot;﻿Ryan reportedly makes $25,000 a month selling content on OnlyFans.A spokesperson for the show released a statement via the BBC, writing: &quot;After three formidable series, Giant is leaving Gladiators.&quot;We&#039;d like to thank him for everything he has contributed to the show and wish him well for the future.&quot;Bigg addressed the situation in an Instagram post last week, announcing he would not be returning to the show while hinting at the dilemma.&quot;To my Gladiator family,&quot; the post started.&quot;I want to tell you all that I won&#039;t be coming back for season 4 of the TV show.&quot;Being a Gladiator has been one of the greatest honours of my life.https://www.instagram.com/p/DXgj0UGCFa_/?img_index=1&quot;Stepping into that arena, hearing the crowd, representing strength, resilience and being a role model… that&#039;s something I&#039;ll carry with me forever.&quot;What I do want to make clear is this wasn&#039;t a decision I made to step away.I was faced with a choice that didn&#039;t align with my values.&quot;And if you know me, you know this… I stand by my people and I stand by what I believe in. That&#039;s what being a role model means to me.&quot;I&#039;m proud of everything I gave to the show and grateful for every single person who supported me along the way.&quot;This isn&#039;t the end. It&#039;s just the beginning. Stay strong.

<title>Pip Edwards reflects on terrifying Bondi shooting ordeal and how it changed her life: &amp;apos;We just held each other&amp;apos;</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Australian fashion icon Pip Edwards has reflected on her terrifying experience of being caught up in the Bondi shootings.Speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald, the P.E. Nation founder recalled ﻿sheltering under a car metres from one of the gunmen who opened fire during the Sydney terror attack that resulted in the deaths of 15 civilians on December 14, 2025.&quot;My girlfriend and I saw the gunman&#039;s foot come down, and the gun. We just held each other and breathed,&quot; Edwards told Sunday Life.﻿The designer says &quot;all [she] could think about&quot; while lying under the car was her son, Justice.&quot;I had to surrender to the fact that it could be over.&quot;In an Instagram post following the attack, Edwards said she and her friend Jess Engels had been walking past the bridge on Campbell Parade where the gunmen where standing when the shooting began.&quot;The shots continued to fire incessantly﻿, and quite literally as close as two metres away,&quot; she told her followers.READ MORE: &#039;I was too late&#039;: Pip Edwards&#039; devastating realisation at 39﻿READ MORE: Moment Pip Edwards&#039; son made a life-changing decision ﻿&quot;We had to immediately take refuge under a van and watched the gunman&#039;s feet with his gun pace in front of the van right at our heads, using our van as his post.&quot;﻿I was convulsing with fear, trapped, thinking this was it for us.&quot;﻿﻿She and Engels remained hidden under the van for about 15 minutes until the shooting stopped.Edwards told the Sydney Morning Herald she began &quot;a lot of therapy&quot; within three days of the ordeal.&quot;I knew the only way through this was &#039;flipping the script&#039;. Now, what I used to attach as a priority is not important any more,&quot; she added.&quot;For 25 years I had attached worth to work and identity – maybe as a mother, maybe in P.E Nation. I&#039;ve had to dismantle that.&quot;Edwards says her experience during the Bondi shootings was the main factor – in addition to her son moving to the US to pursue a career in basketball – in her decision to leave her role as Creative Director at Ksubi in January.&quot;[It] gave me a new perspective. ﻿Life is precious and it isn&#039;t permanent. I had ticked the boxes I needed to tick,&quot; she said.&quot;It was the closing of a chapter of how I ran my career, which was at full pace, full tilt, 24/7. And that&#039;s not sustainable – not for my health, not for longevity, not for my creative process.&quot; ]]></description>

It wasn&#039;t a bizarre moment that &#039;just happened&#039;, rather it was purposefully orchestrated ﻿to draw headlines for the actress&#039; own lingerie brand SYRN.In a world where attention is the most expensive currency, celebrities are going to extraordinary lengths to compete for a permanent spot ﻿in our collective memory.Watch the video above.﻿The 28-year-old&#039;s recent publicity stunt was tame in comparison to ﻿her last attempt.In January, ﻿the Euphoria star fronted the possibility of facing vandalism charges when she climbed the Hollywood sign to hang SYRN bras from it despite being given no authority to do so.She got off scot-free with Jeff Zarrinnam, head of the Hollywood Sign Trust, claiming parts of the footage were digitally altered.While some have called Sweeney&#039;s﻿ Hollywood sign and lingerie toss gimmicks as &quot;desperate&quot;, there&#039;s no denying they&#039;ve been successful at what they set out to do – get people talking.READ MORE: Fans slam millionaire actor&#039;s &#039;out of touch&#039; advice﻿READ MORE: Taylor Swift sends fans into meltdown with single moveREAD MORE: Danielle Spencer leads the Aussie stars at APRA Music AwardsPR teams no longer have ﻿the option of being safe and ignored instead they have to be risky to be remembered. Or do they?There are plenty of instances where celebrities, brands and causes have gone a step too far all in the name of publicity.Poonam Pandey&#039;s &#039;death&#039; stunt﻿In one of the most controversial moves of the decade, Bollywood actress Poonam Pandey faked her own death to millions of followers on Instagram to &quot;raise awareness&quot; for cervical cancer.In 2024 a statement was published on Pandey&#039;s social media announcing she had &quot;bravely fought the disease&quot; and died﻿.Obituaries from media outlets followed and fellow Bollywood stars posted mournful tributes to her.The then 32-year-old reappeared alive and well 24 hours later and revealed in another video ﻿that her death had, in fact, been a hoax.&quot;Yes, I faked my demise, extreme I know. But suddenly we all are talking about cervical cancer, aren&#039;t we?&quot; Pandey said.﻿The backlash was nuclear with one commenter describing her behaviour as &quot;attention seeking&quot; and another saying the stunt was &quot;unethical and manipulative&quot;.Despite thousands calling shame on Pandey she stuck to her guns saying, &quot;I am proud of what my death news has been able to achieve.&quot;Oprah&#039;s free chicken fiasco ﻿﻿When Oprah Winfrey used her television show to debut KFC&#039;s new menu item, the Kentucky Grilled Chicken, in 2009, it was a marketing win for the fast food brand.The talk show host promoted an offer to her viewers that for 24 hours they could download a coupon from her website to redeem a free menu item.It sounded non-problematic until KFC realised they&#039;d massively underestimated Winfrey&#039;s star power and they were unable to satisfy the demand for the offer.Locations across the US ran out of chicken, while other customers complained they couldn&#039;t even get to the website to download the coupon in the first place.Within days the celebrity promotion backfired and an overwhelmed KFC cancelled it all together. ﻿Kendall Jenner&#039;s Pepsi protest﻿The model&#039;s Pepsi commercial has perhaps become the gold standard of tone-deaf PR and a lesson that audiences value authenticity over name power.The 2017 ﻿soft drink ad campaign depicted Jenner joining a protest and seemingly defusing tensions by handing police officers one can of soda.Whatever the intentions were the ad was immediately slammed with critics accusing Pepsi of appropriating a protest movement following police shootings of African Americans.The ad was pulled off air after just one day. ﻿&quot;Pepsi was trying to project a global message of unity, peace and understanding. Clearly we missed the mark, and we apologise,&quot; Pepsi wrote in a statement.50 Cent sues Taco BellTaco Bell should&#039;ve known better than to get on 50 Cent&#039;s bad side.The rapper&#039;s lawsuit against food chain Taco Bell serves as a grim reminder that if you&#039;re going to use a celebrity for publicity you have to ask them first.In 2008﻿ Taco Bell used the musician&#039;s name and image without permission to promote a &#039;Why Pay More&#039; ad campaign.It featured a fake letter asking 50 Cent to change his name to 79, 89, or 99 Cent.The campaign led people to believe 50 Cent endorsed the brand himself﻿ and he faced backlash for &quot;selling out&quot;.50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, sued Taco Bell for ﻿$5.5 million.The lawsuit was settled for an undisclosed amount with both parties agreeing to cover their own legal fees. ﻿FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<title>Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney&amp;apos;s Wrexham AFC loses out on a Premier League spot and the whopping paycheck that goes with it</title>

<description><![CDATA[ I﻿t&#039;s a bad day to be Ryan Reynolds.In 2021, the Deadpool actor purchased Welsh football club Wrexham AFC, alongside friend, Rob McElhenney.Over the past four years, the pair have worked to build the team up in what has been referred to as one of the greatest stories in sport, but today, that team lost them $250 million.Wrexham has climbed up from non-league football to being on the precipice of joining the Premier League.But the fate of the team rested entirely on their latest match-up against Middlesbrough, which unfortunately did not go their way, ending in a 2-2 draw.Sadly for Reynolds and McElhenny, Wrexham has missed out on securing its Premier League spot, a place which experts have estimated would have been worth about $250 million.&quot;﻿I am completely gutted by today&#039;s result but incredibly proud of our season,&quot; Reynolds shared in a post made on X (formerly Twitter).READ MORE: Aussie stars share exciting news following $150k heartbreak﻿READ MORE: &#039;We just held each other&#039;: Pip Edwards&#039; Bondi shooting ordeal﻿READ MORE: Anna Nicole Smith&#039;s daughter debuts new look at Kentucky Derby﻿&quot;We&#039;ve come a long way in five years and this was the best result in our 150+ year history. More to do. But for now, we have so much to be proud of, Reds.&quot;Reynolds and McElhenney&#039;s purchase of the club saw them take a touch of Hollywood into the sporting world.In 2022, they released the first season of their hit show, Welcome To Wrexham. ﻿Part documentary and part﻿ reality TV, the show is now in its fifth season, documenting the pair&#039;s takeover of the club.While Reynolds and McElhenney aren&#039;t the first celebrities to purchase a sporting team – just look at what Elton John did with Watford FC or even Russell Crowe and the South Sydney Rabbitohs – they are the first to flip the script in terms of combining the sport with their experience in the entertainment industry.﻿Welcome to Wrexham has been a massive hit worldwide, securing record financial results for the club, increasing merchandise and sponsorship deals, and even boosting local tourism.So, while Reynolds and McElhenney may have suffered a brutal $250 million loss, it&#039;s not all bad news.The new season is about to hit streaming, and since we know the world loves an underdog, we think it&#039;s safe to assume that this loss could mean an even more interest in Welcome to Wrexham. ﻿﻿FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<title>A seating plan &amp;apos;cardinal rule&amp;apos; and no phones: Inside the Met Gala, one of Hollywood&amp;apos;s most secretive events</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/a-seating-plan-cardinal-rule-and-no-phones-inside-the-met-gala-one-of-hollywoods-most-secretive-events</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ It may be the most highly anticipated event on celebrities&#039; social calendars, but since its inception in the late 1940s, the finer details remain shrouded in secrecy.The first Monday of May is mere days away, meaning stars are once again set to ascend the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art for &quot;fashion&#039;s biggest night.&quot;The 2026 Met Gala is sure to be one for the books, but burning questions surrounding the goings-on behind closed doors remain on everyone&#039;s lips.Watch the video above.﻿What is the purpose of the Met Gala?While we mere mortals may see it as an opportunity for Hollywood&#039;s elite to flout status, it also functions as the primary source of funding for the Met&#039;s Costume Institute.Traditionally timed to coincide with the MMOA﻿&#039;s Spring Fashion Exhibition, the event is –first and foremost – just one massive fundraiser.READ MORE: The first and latest looks from the &#039;Queens of the Met Gala&#039;﻿READ MORE: ﻿The Met Gala&#039;s most memorable looks of all timeREAD MORE: There&#039;s one golden rule of the Met Gala, and these stars broke itThe curatorial department is dedicated to collecting, conserving and studying over 33,000 fashion objects and accessories – which all collectively represent seven centuries of fashion history﻿.Year on year, the event raises 10s of millions of dollars towards maintaining the department in question.﻿What is this year&#039;s theme?﻿The Met Gala&#039;s theme and official dress code go hand-in-hand every year.&quot;Costume art&quot; encapsulates this year&#039;s iteration, while the &quot;Fashion Is Art,&quot; dress code encourages guests to interpret clothing as creativity.As revealed by the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Instagram in November, the theme ﻿will focus on &quot;on Western art from prehistory to the present.&quot;&quot;[It] will consider depictions of the dressed body from across the Met&#039;s curatorial departments, pairing garments with art objects spanning some 5,000 years,&quot; Vogue revealed.If A-list attendees meet the brief, we can expect to see ﻿looks that blur the lines between wearable garments and fine art; focusing on dramatic silhouettes, anatomical designs and artistic textures.The theme, as per, is fitting; set to inaugurate the Met Costume Institute&#039;s new, nearly 12,000-square-foot home Condé M. Nast Galleries﻿.Can anyone buy a ticket?Short answer: no, one does not simply &quot;buy a ticket&quot; to the Met Gala.Alas, the event is a highly exclusive affair not meant for mere mortals like you or I.To maintain said exclusivity and its general air of mystery, attendance is strictly by invitation-only, and guest lists are carefully curated by none other than former Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour.﻿How much does it cost to attend?A table at the Met Gala costs a pretty penny, to say the absolute least.While ﻿individual tickets cost a slightly more conservative sum of roughly $139,000, tables often exceed $480,000 – usually bought by brands looking to host celebrities.These prices are certainly a far cry from the original ticket pricing, which was a considerably more cost-effective $70.﻿What actually happens inside?In spite of countless fittings and early-morning, hours-long makeovers﻿, what we see from celebs walking the carpet is often not what they choose to present once inside the event.According to former Met Gala dinner server Mike Hartman via Insider, some celebrities had &quot;personal rooms to themselves&quot; at the 2018 event, so they could &quot;change or do fix-ups&quot; following their respective red carpet photo-ops.And much like the event&#039;s guest list, Wintour is also right across the seating plan, implementing a strict no-couples seating policy.﻿That&#039;s right; not only are guests unable to request a plus one for their significant other unless pre-approved by Wintour, couples generally aren&#039;t allowed to sit next to each other.In 2016 Met Gala documentary First Monday in May, former director of special projects at Vogue Sylvana Ward Durrett revealed it was a cardinal rule: &quot;Never seat spouses next to each other.&quot;&quot;The whole point of these things is to meet new people and to be interested in what others are doing. What&#039;s the point if you come here to hang out with your husband?&quot;Once through the doors, mingling and art-viewing commences, followed by a highly secretive performance kept under-wraps until the moment they take the stage.﻿What items (or behaviours) are banned?All the usual suspects are not permitted within the highly secretive event.Phones and selfies are a huge no-no – though often celebrities are seen in flagrant disregard for this rule through the so-called &#039;bathroom loophole.&#039;Over the years, the Met toilets have become a tolerated VIP area, where rules are bent due to the private nature of the space.Far from the prying eyes of event organisers and official photographers alike, celebs often retreat to the toilets for extended periods.Surprisingly – and reportedly owing to an aversion to bad breath – food is often devoid of ingredients such as onion, garlic and ﻿parsley.According to the New York Post, onion, garlic and parsley are prohibited to avoid issues with bad breath.Bruschetta is also off the menu on the off-chance – God forbid – that it spills onto a guest&#039;s outfit.Which celebrities have been blacklisted?﻿There are but two celebrities who are confirmed as persona non grata at the glitzy event; US President Donald Trump, and Project Runway host Tim Gunn.Donald Trump remains the only celebrity that Anna Wintour has personally admitted to blacklisting, doing so during a 2017 appearance on The Late Late Show with James CordenWhen asked which celebrity she&#039;d never allow back to the Met Gala, her response was swift and decisive: &quot;Donald Trump.﻿&quot;Having previously been a regular attendee throughout the 2000&#039;s alongside Melania Trump, his last appearance came in 2012, years before his presidential campaign first kicked off.Tim Gunn, meanwhile, confirmed his own ban to E! News, revealing he had been permanently disinvited after sharing a rather unflattering anecdote about WintourGunn claimed to have witnessed the editor and curator of the event being &quot;carried down five flights of stairs&quot; by two bodyguards following an undisclosed fashion show, leading to his permanent ban from the event.Other celebs rumoured to have been barred from the event include the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Tina Fey, Zayn Malik and Josh Hartnett.﻿FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<title>&amp;apos;I need a day job&amp;apos;: Full House star reveals surprising amount she&amp;apos;s paid in residuals three decades on</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Full House star J﻿odie Sweetin has revealed the meagre pay-out she recently received for her eight-season run on the hit &#039;90s series.While the house in question may have been full, Sweetin, 44, unfortunately does not have a full wallet to match.Speaking on the McBride Rewind podcast, the actress, who portrayed the quick-witted Stephanie Tanner during the show&#039;s initial 1987-1995 run, shared that she was last paid only one cent in residuals for her efforts.Watch the video above.﻿Residuals, like royalties, are a passive form of income actors receive when their shows are re-run on television networks.But according to Sweetin, the rise of streaming culture has put a stop to that.&quot;I got a one-cent check the other day,&quot; Sweetin told host Josh McBride, explaining the process of selling and distributing shows is a dying art.READ MORE: Danielle Spencer leads Aussie stars and rock legends on red carpetREAD MORE: Melanie C on her friendship with the Spice Girls, new music and tour﻿READ MORE: Lawyer weighs in on Kyle Sandilands&#039; &#039;new project&#039; amid legal battle﻿&quot;There&#039;s no syndication anymore because it&#039;s all in streaming. Who gets paid for that? Nobody gets paid for that.&quot;Although acknowledging she received more Full House residuals when she was younger, she said they gradually dried up as the ABC show was broadcast on television less often.She went on to say that contrary to popular belief, she can&#039;t rely on checks from her time on the show anymore, and does not live the &quot;extravagant life&quot; some might think.&quot;Sure, in my 20s, there would be money, but not reliable,&quot; Sweetin said.&quot;You don&#039;t know how much it&#039;s going to be or how often they&#039;re going to run the show.&quot;She added, &quot;So, sometimes you&#039;re like, &#039;Oh, cool. That was nice.&#039; And then sometimes you&#039;re like, &#039;All right, well, there&#039;s a nice dinner out.&#039;&quot;This revelation comes in stark contrast to recent reports revealing the cast of Friends&#039; eye-watering yearly earnings.In a recent interview published by the Times of London actress Lisa Kudrow lifted a lid on the show&#039;s ongoing success.Following the sitcom&#039;s 2004 finale, the core cast still earns a staggering $27 million every year in residuals more than two decades later.For a daily dose of 9honey, subscribe to our newsletter here.Sweetin, meanwhile, says she &quot;rents [her] house.&quot;&quot;I have credit cards that are maxed out. I live a normal life,&quot; Sweetin said.&quot;And yeah, there are moments when you&#039;re like, &#039;This is going well&#039; and there are times when you&#039;re like, &#039;I need a day job.&#039;&quot;﻿She went on to say that despite this, she&#039;d always be interested in reprising her role should another Full House spinoff be green-lit.﻿FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ A﻿nother of Kylie Jenner&#039;s former staff has spoken out, alleging racial discrimination, harassment and wage violations in a lawsuit filed against the star.Juana Delgado Soto has made bombshell claims against the 28-year-old, Kylie Jenner Inc., staff supervisor Itzel Sibrian, Tri Star Services and La Maison Family Services.The suit, obtained by the Los Angeles Times, ﻿claims that mistreatment worsened in 2023 under a supervisor who allegedly mocked her accent and immigration status.Watch the video above.﻿According to the Times, Soto began working for Jenner in 2019, alleging that meal and rest breaks were withheld during the time spent in her employ.But she claimed that working conditions got significantly worse for her in 2023, when Sibrian became her supervisor.This alleged mistreatment culminated in a 2024 HR complaint, which accused Sibrian of mockery and humiliation in regards to her accent.Though the complaint was initially upheld and Sibrian removed from her role, she was later reinstated and allegedly went on to retaliate against Soto by by reducing her hourly wage, assigning unreasonable workloads and changing her schedule.READ MORE: Why Meryl&#039;s most iconic role almost never happenedREAD MORE: Fans slam Devil Wears Prada 2 star&#039;s &#039;out of touch&#039; commentREAD MORE: Taylor Swift sends fans into a frenzy with since-deleted countdownThe lawsuit in question details a pattern of further mistreatment, allegedly increasing in severity over time.In one instance, Soto claimed that she&#039;d been forced to miss her birthday surprise party in favour of covering one of Jenner&#039;s dinners, and also claimed to have been denied adequate time off to grieve her late brother&#039;s death.﻿Soto alleged that staff &quot;whispered that [she] was lying about her brother&#039;s death and kept forcing her to pick up trash they purposely threw on the ground.&quot;And according to the suit, Soto had made attempts to inform Jenner of her alleged mistreatment that had fallen on deaf ears.As noted in court documents obtained by the LA Times, Soto wrote, &quot;I need to express just how terribly I am mentally abused&quot; and &quot;I really apologise for letting you know about all these situations, I know you wouldn&#039;t allow this to happen, if you were aware of it.&quot;But according to Soto, as a result of this complaint she&#039;d been threatened with termination.&quot;Defendants told her she was no longer allowed to look at Kylie, smile at Kylie and if she saw Kylie she would have to &#039;disappear,&#039; &quot; the lawsuit alleged.Soto further claimed that she was forced to undertake tasks such as cleaning ﻿Kylie&#039;s dog house, and was banned from drinking water in the home dubbed &quot;Kylie&#039;s water&quot;.These bombshell claims come just over one week after a separate worker in Jenner&#039;s employ filed her own lawsuit against the star.﻿Angelica Vazquez made claims against Kylie Jenner and two companies, Tri Star Services and Maison Family Services, alleging harassment and discrimination.Vazquez had previously worked as a housekeeper at Jenner&#039;s Hidden Hills home from September 2024 to August 2025, and alleged &quot;repeated discriminatory and derogatory comments&quot; were made towards her in regards to her immigration status.Though Jenner is not called out by name for any behaviour in the filing, she is listed as a defendant.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ I﻿t&#039;s Instagram official: Sydney Sweeney has taken her romance with Scooter Braun to the next level, posting a series of loved-up shots of her and her beau at Stagecoach music Festival.The pair, who had previously sparked romance rumours after meeting at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez&#039; wedding last June, appeared decidedly cosy in the carousel of snaps.The post included shots of Sweeney on Braun&#039;s shoulders in the crowd, the actress being held in the music exec&#039;s arms and several photobooth pics of the pair.Watch the video above.﻿Aptly captioning the post from the country music event &quot;cowboy kind of weekend,&quot;﻿ the controversial star gave fans a glimpse of everything the weekend entailed; from Karaoke, to line dancing with her and Braun&#039;s inner circle.Sweeney was also spotted donning a clear nod her her boyfriend in the form of an ﻿&#039;S&#039; and &#039;B&#039; charm necklace.The controversial music executive posted a similar series of snaps to his own socials, captioning them &quot;Stagecoach delivered a lucky cowboy.&quot;Brain previously went public with Sweeney in mid-April, when he gave fans his own hard-launch via Instagram.Braun shared a black-and-white image of the pair from the Euphoria Season 3 premiere, captioned with the text, &quot;lucky b-----d.&quot;The pair packed on the PDA at the premiere at the event, with Sweeney seen grabbing Braun&#039;s face and kissing him in a clip recorded by Vanity Fair.The unlikely romance has set tongues wagging in recent months, particularly due to the nature of the pairing and their respective career controversies.The producer, who has worked with the likes of Justin Bieber, Kanye West, Usher and Ariana Grande, first waded into hot water when he bought record company Big Machine Label Group, which owned the rights to the majority of Taylor Swift&#039;s back catalogue.He later sold Swift&#039;s catalogue to Shamrock Capital, despite allegedly knowing she wanted to acquire it – a move that prompted the singer to begin re-recording her old songs before finally reclaiming her original masters in 2025.﻿Braun has also reportedly also cut ties with several other musicians over the years, including Bieber and Grande.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ M﻿eryl Streep nearly turned down her most iconic role – until they doubled her pay.The actress, 76, reflecting on The Devil Wears Prada, told US Today that she turned down the chance to play Miranda Priestly at first.The 2006 film has become a classic, no doubt thanks to Streep&#039;s impeccable performance as the blunt, icy editor of Runway magazine.Her iconic performance almost never happened, with Streep saying she knew the movie would be a hit, but they couldn&#039;t do it without her.﻿&quot;I read the script. Script was great. And they called me up and they made an offer, and I said, &#039;No, not going to do it,&#039;&quot; Streep said.The seasoned actress explained she thought she was worth more than what the role was offering, salary-wise. ﻿&quot;I knew it was going to be a hit, and I wanted to see if I doubled my ask,&quot; she continued.READ MORE: A-lister&#039;s engagement ring worth eye-watering amountREAD MORE: Singer reportedly cut off by daughters following divorce﻿READ MORE: Actor was &#039;on the way out&#039; before cancer life-line&quot;And they went right away and said sure. And I thought, I&#039;m 50, 60 — it took me this long to understand that I could do that.&quot;The actress was reportedly offered $2.8 million (US$2 million) at first, asking them to double her pay to $5.6 million ($US4 million).&quot;They needed me, I felt ... I was ready to retire. But, you know, that was a lesson,&quot; she continued.Two decades after the original came out, ﻿the highly anticipated sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2, hit cinemas around the world.The original cast, including Streep, Anna Hathaway, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt, reunited for the film, alongside ﻿other actors like Simone Ashley and Australian Patrick Brammall.Streep was not the only cast member who almost turned down a role in the iconic film.Brammall revealed he originally said no to the offer to star in the sequel.﻿The Colin from Accounts star shared why he nearly didn&#039;t take the role in what is arguably the biggest film of 2026 at the Australian premiere earlier this week.&quot;It wasn&#039;t self-doubt so much, it was pragmatics,&quot; he shared with the crowd, as per the Sydney Morning Herald.&quot;When they asked me to audition, and I&#039;m 50, I&#039;ve been around the block, I&#039;ve been working as an actor for many, many years, and I&#039;ve put down a lot of auditions for a lot of big things going, &#039;oh, this could be it.&#039;&quot;And so when that came through, I was like, &#039;that&#039;s really nice that they&#039;re considering me&#039;, but I genuinely didn&#039;t have time,&quot; he said, sharing that he preferred to spend his time on another project and raising his two young daughters, Joni, four, and Mabel, one.&quot;I was just like &#039;at the end of the day, they&#039;re not gonna call me back about this, so no thanks.&#039;&quot;&quot;History had told me that 99 per cent of things that you go for as an actor, you don&#039;t get. And so I thought this is really lovely to be in this conversation, but I&#039;ve got other things I&#039;ve got to do, and it wasn&#039;t a play, but it turned out to feel like one because they came back to me with an offer.&quot;﻿FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ Golden Globe winner Emily Blunt has been ﻿slammed by fans online for her &quot;out of touch&quot; career advice in a recent interview.The Devil Wears Prada 2 star ﻿told fans to quit their jobs even if they&#039;re &quot;earning no money&quot; in their next one in a video interview with Betches.Watch the video above.﻿The online publication asked Blunt, 43, if she had any advice for women &quot;who are hating their jobs right now&quot;, in reference to one of her character&#039;s most famous quotes from the original movie.﻿&quot;Quit! ... No,&quot; the actress quipped as co-star Stanley Tucci scoffed.Blunt then laughed, adding: &quot;I think just find something you deeply want to do, even if you&#039;re earning no money, as long as you love it, you&#039;ll be happy.&quot;Fans called out Blunt for her &quot;entitled&quot; advice, ﻿noting it&#039;s easy for a &quot;millionaire&quot; to settle for a less paying job. The actress is worth an estimated $US80 million ($111 million).REVIEW: &#039;Crammed, confused and chaotic: The Devil Wears Prada 2 is a flop&#039;READ MORE: Aussie stars wow at The Devil Wears Prada 2 Sydney premiere﻿READ MORE: Emily Blunt drops jaws with stunning designer gown at premiere&quot;That can only be said by an (over)privileged person,&quot; said one fans in the YouTube comments. &quot;Not everyone&#039;s an overpaid Hollywood actor, some people can&#039;t choose a job just because.&quot;&quot;I love when millionaires tell me to quit my job. ?,&quot; wrote another.The star was labelled &quot;out of touch&quot; on Instagram, with one follower responding: &quot;Me to myself: don&#039;t take the advice to quit in this economy.&quot;Other fans however, defended Blunt, with one arguing it was &quot;an awkward thing to ask offhand&quot;.&quot;She joked and said &#039;quit!&#039;&quot; that same fan pointed out. &quot;She knows that you can&#039;t just quit the job because you don&#039;t like it.&quot;I think her point was more about how yes, you have to work the crap job, but you can (especially if you&#039;re young) still be working towards a job that you enjoy. She&#039;s an actor, not a philosopher.&quot;A second fan rushed to Blunt&#039;s defence, saying, &quot;﻿You quit only if you find something better&quot; because if you stay too long in a job you hate you&#039;ll burn out.A third fan knew exactly what the star meant.﻿&quot;Me who&#039;s not a millionaire and has quit every job she&#039;s ever hated (getting a new job under there noses first tho!)Trust me sometimes you absolutely have to,&quot; they commented.Blunt returns to screens for the highly-anticipated sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2 alongside ﻿Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci.The career question came off the back of her viral meme from the original movie, a still of her character Emily sarcastically repeating the line &quot;I love my job&quot;.﻿Blunt laughed as she looked back on the scene, revealing she improvised the now-famous line.﻿FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<title>Taylor Swift sends fans into a frenzy with since&#45;deleted countdown – and they&amp;apos;ve figured out what it means</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Taylor Swift has yet again sent the world into a tizzy with an anticipated ﻿music announcement – but this time, it may have been a mistake.Keen-eyed fans were shocked when Swift&#039;s official website began a 48-hour countdown in the early hours of Friday AEST, especially as the backdrop of blue sky and cartoon clouds looked identical to the iconic wallpaper of Andy&#039;s bedroom in Pixar&#039;s Toy Story.But almost as quickly as it appeared, the countdown was quietly removed.Before it vanished, the countdown was set to end ﻿on Sunday, May 3, at 4am AEST. Neither Swift nor her official fan account, Taylor Nation, has acknowledged the timer.So ... what the heck is going on?It&#039;s unclear if the countdown was accidentally posted earlier than it was meant to, but in the minds of fans it&#039;s definitely let the toys out of the toybox.They are now convinced Swift, 36, will be releasing a single for the soundtrack of the upcoming Toy Story 5 film slated for June.READ MORE: Detail of Taylor&#039;s wedding that could descend into disasterREAD MORE: Why Taylor and Travis&#039; romance is different to the others﻿READ MORE: Danielle Spencer leads the Aussie stars at APRA Music AwardsTom Hanks and Tim Allen ﻿return as Woody and Buzz Lightyear respectively for the newest instalment in the beloved Pixar franchise.The story is expected to pit the toys against modern technology, as their owner Bonnie becomes enamoured with a tablet named Lily Pad.Unsurprisingly, as is the Swiftie way, the countdown had fans connecting dots elsewhere too.Earlier this week, Swift was photographed wearing a perfectly curated outfit during an outing with friends in New York.With a sky-blue dress, canary-yellow Dior bag and brown Louboutin sandals (with red bottoms, of course), it perfectly invokes the Toy Story logo.She&#039;s even doing Woody proud with a horseshoe necklace.That&#039;s not all, as there is another crazy coincidence that has people convinced.Toy Story 5&#039;s June 19 release date is also the 20th anniversary of Swift&#039;s first single, Tim McGraw.There&#039;s also been plenty of fan speculation about how she&#039;ll mark her incredible 20 years in music, so this just adds fuel to the fire.﻿&quot;It&#039;s a Toy Story, baby just say yes,&quot; one excited fan joked.﻿&quot;Tay Story ??&quot; another said.﻿As for whether the countdown will return at a later date, or if the Sunday morning finish time will lead to anything? We&#039;ll have to wait and see.Toy Story 5&#039;s release date certainly means an early May announcement is on the cards, if there is one to be made!Swift is no stranger to movie soundtracks, ﻿most recently providing Carolina for 2022 murder mystery Where the Crawdads Sing.Her other soundtrack songs include I Don&#039;t Wanna Live Forever for Fifty Shades Darker, Safe &amp; Sound and Eyes Open for The Hunger Games and Crazier for The Hannah Montana Movie.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<title>Keith Urban reportedly cut off by daughters after Nicole Kidman divorce</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Keith Urban has reportedly been cut off by the two daughters he shares with Nicole Kidman in the wake of their split.﻿Kidman filed for divorce from her husband of almost 20 years in September 2025, just a day after news broke they had split, and their divorce was finalised in January.Now, there are reports the father-daughter relationship between the singing star and his daughters Sunday, 17, and Faith, 15, is so strained he no longer hears from them.It comes just two days after Urban cut a lonely figure when he was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame in Nashville on April 28. Neither of his daughters attended the event.Now, the Daily Mail has reported his two girls had sided with their mother after the split.﻿&quot;He is the cause of every problem in their minds and it&#039;s harrowing for him,&quot; the source said.&quot;He loves those girls, but they are so angry at him and they&#039;re blaming him.&quot;READ MORE: Actor was &#039;on the way out&#039; before cancer life-lineREAD MORE: Secret to William and Kate&#039;s 15-year marriageREAD MORE: Kyle Sandilands teases &#039;new project&#039; amid legal woesThe same source said Urban had tried to maintain contact with the girls.&quot;He was texting [his daughters] before and getting one or two-word answers, if he got anything at all. Now nothing,&quot; the source said.Urban is reportedly just letting things happen, with hopes that at one point they&#039;ll be able to have the conversations to be able to move forward. ﻿He also reportedly doesn&#039;t blame his former wife for the rift.For a daily dose of 9honey, subscribe to our newsletter here.&quot;I don&#039;t even think this is Nicole painting a narrative; this is the girls coming to this conclusion on their own,&quot; the source added.Urban and Kidman have tried to keep things amicable during the split, but the girls are &quot;hurt&quot; and have sided with their mum. ﻿Also this week, eagle-eyed watchers noticed the couple&#039;s eldest daughter, Sunday, 17, had seemingly unfollowed her father on Instagram, although it appeared she followed him again by the next day after the move made headlines.For her part, ﻿Kidman told Variety in March in what was her first post-split interview that she would not be discussing her separation.&quot;Everything else, I don&#039;t discuss out of respect. I&#039;m staying in a place of, &#039;We are a family&#039;, and that&#039;s what we&#039;ll continue to be,&quot; she said.But despite her stance, it seems her girls have made up their minds on their own.During an interview with Australian Elle in March, Sunday said it was her mother who was the &quot;biggest inspiration&quot; in her life and a &quot;a key part of everything I do&quot;, but made no mention of her dad.The girls have not been seen in public with their dad since the family attended the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, but supported their mother ﻿at Paris Fashion Week on October 6, 2025, just a week after news of their parents split.When news first broke that Urban and Kidman had separated last September, People quoted sources that said it was Urban who had wanted out of the marriage.&quot;[Nicole] didn&#039;t want this,&quot; the source said. &quot;She has been fighting to save the marriage.&quot;She went on to win primary custody of their two daughters, who continue to live with her in Nashville, Tennessee, 306 days per year, while Urban was granted visitation rights of 59 days per year.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ Da﻿nielle Spencer has cleared a long-standing rumour about her split from her ex-husband Russell Crowe, 61.In an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald, the actress and singer, 56, said: ﻿&quot;There&#039;s been this narrative that Russell&#039;s escalating career and him being away contributed to the break-up of our marriage, but that&#039;s not true for me.&quot;I don&#039;t need to be with my partner 24 hours a day to feel safe or secure.﻿&quot;Watch the video above.The former couple – who married in 2003, split in 2012, and officially divorced in 2018 – are on friendly terms, co-parenting their sons, Charlie, 22, and Tennyson, 19.﻿Spencer was even the opening act for Crowe&#039;s band Indoor Garden Party at their one-night-only show in December 2025.Spencer continued to praise her ex Crowe for his &quot;loyalty&quot;, &quot;deep thinking&quot; and for being &quot;a very loving dad&quot;.&quot;Our sons stay with him in the summer holidays and he takes them away mid-year for a few weeks.

<description><![CDATA[ R﻿adio star Mitch Churi has hilariously responded to claims he exhibited rude behaviour at The Devil Wears Prada 2 premiere in Sydney earlier this week.On social media, the Mitch Churi Chat Show host shared a screenshot of an article from The Daily Mail that claimed he had jumped the queue to get into the event upon seeing his friend, fellow radio host Abbie Chatfield.In response, Churi lip-synced over an apt soundbite from the original film, in which Miranda Priestly exasperatedly tells her assistant, ﻿&quot;When we get back to New York we need to contact... Leslie, to see what she can do to minimise the press... on this&quot; in the aftermath of a scandal.Watch the video above﻿In his caption, the radio host declared, &quot;Miranda would have done it&quot;, adding one of the Meryl Streep character&#039;s most famous lines: &quot;That&#039;s all.&quot;Churi&#039;s celebrity friends added to the banter, with fellow entertainment reporter and podcast host Justin Hill pointing out, &quot;This sound was made for this moment.&quot;Fellow podcast host Rosie Waterland joked, &quot;As soon as I read this I knew it was true because yesterday at Acast [the company that hosts both their podcasts] I was about to open the fridge and you pushed in front of me and opened the fridge and you know what I&#039;m emailing the Daily Mail immediately﻿.&quot;READ MORE: ﻿Kyle Sandilands teases &#039;new project&#039; amid KIIS FM legal battleREAD MORE: ﻿William, Kate mark 15th wedding anniversary with sweet family photoREAD MORE: ﻿Aldi quietly changes popular snackOne fan added, &quot;One time Mitch Churi punched me in the face. It was awesome&quot;﻿, quoting Mean Girls.&quot;I&#039;ve never seen you cut in line, but I&#039;ve long thought you were capable of it,&quot; joked another.&quot;So glad to see someone is finally tackling the big issues in the media.&quot;﻿For a daily dose of 9honey, subscribe to our newsletter here.Attending the premiere at the State Theatre on Tuesday, ﻿Churi wore a monochromatic beige look consisting of a jacket and trousers, wearing a white dress shirt with a brown checkered tie and brown shoes.Chatfield was also among the guests at the event, which came a day after her debut on KIIS FM on Monday.The It&#039;s a Lot with Abbie Chatfield podcast host has taken over the morning slot Kyle and Jackie O once held, at least for this week.The Bachelor alum dressed in a ﻿white mini-dress with a low neckline and black pocket detailing, tying the look together with black platform heels and a pair of black stockings as an homage to the office culture of the film.9honey has reached out to Churi for comment.﻿﻿FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<title>&amp;apos;Looked like I was on the way out&amp;apos;: Sam Neill reveals he came close to death as he gives huge cancer update</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Sam Neill has revealed he came close to death during his long battle with a type of lymphoma but is now cancer-free after undergoing groundbreaking new treatment.The 78-year-old Jurassic Park star revealed during an interview with ﻿7News that he had been having chemotherapy for about five years to keep him alive before it &quot;stopped working&quot;.&quot;I was at a loss and it looked like I was on the way out, which wasn&#039;t ideal obviously,&quot; he said, before revealing he was offered a lifeline in the form of CAR T-cell therapy.&quot;I&#039;ve just had a scan just now and there is no cancer in my body, that&#039;s an extraordinary thing. I&#039;m very, very excited that this can happen,&quot; he said.According to the Leukaemia Foundation, CAR T-cell therapy is a type of immunotherapy that sees CAR T-cells collected from a patient before being sent to a lab where genetic information is added to them that are tailored to recognise cancer.They are then multiplied and infused back into the body where they recognise, attack and kill cancer cells.CAR T-cell therapy is currently only approved in Australia for four types of blood cancers following a relapse.READ MORE: Ricky Gervais&#039; partner &#039;nervous&#039; about cancer battleREAD MORE: Actor breaks silence on cheating claims﻿READ MORE: Single move from Keith&#039;s daughter speaks volumesNeill is now helping raise awareness of the treatment that saved his life in the hope more Australians will have access to it.Neill was diagnosed with stage 3 angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, in 2022, after experiencing swollen glands while doing publicity for Jurassic World: Dominion.He only revealed he had been privately battling the disease a year later when he released his memoir, Did I Ever Tell You This?﻿At the time, he said he was treated with chemotherapy, which eventually started to fail, and had been moved on to a new drug that he would remain on for the rest of his life.But now it appears that drug also failed, making it necessary for him to undergo CAR T-cell therapy.According to the Leukaemia Foundation, CAR T-cell therapy is a &quot;complicated and long&quot; form of treatment that also requires a large dose of chemotherapy prior to receiving the harvested cells.O&#039;Neill said he started writing his memoir after his cancer diagnosis after finding he had nothing to do during treatment.&quot;The thing is, I&#039;m crook. Possibly dying,&quot; he wrote in chapter one. &quot;I may have to speed this up.&quot;﻿﻿&quot;As I went on and kept writing, I realised it was actually sort of giving me a reason to live and I would go to bed thinking, &#039;I&#039;ll write about that tomorrow… that will entertain me.&#039;&quot;And so it was a lifesaver really, because I couldn&#039;t have gone through that with nothing to do.&quot;He spoke about the brutal side effects of his cancer treatment during an August 2024 episode of the ABC series The Assembly.&quot;I&#039;m on a different [drug] now, so at least I don&#039;t look like somebody&#039;s bald thumb,&quot; Neill said.&quot;That&#039;s what I looked like for quite a while – it was embarrassing, and I lost my beard and everything, and my dignity went with it.&quot;For a daily dose of 9honey, subscribe to our newsletter here.He told Nine&#039;s Today show a month earlier he was &quot;feeling absolutely great&quot; and looking forward to taking on more acting projects.&quot;The thing about cancers, there&#039;s so many different types of them, you know and great advances are being made, so there&#039;s always hope and I&#039;m living with it rather than dying from it, that&#039;s the way I look at﻿ it,&quot; he said.Neill, whose first name is Nigel, was born in Northern Ireland on September 14, 1947. His family moved to New Zealand when he was eight.After attending university, he took up acting and appeared in his first film in 1971.His big break came in the 1979 Aussie film My Brilliant Career before he played Michael Chamberlain in Evil Angels, about the disappearance of Azaria Chamberlain.But it was a turn playing the husband of then little-known Aussie actress Nicole Kidman in the 1989 thriller Dead Calm that opened Hollywood&#039;s doors and led to the role of Dr Alan Grant in the 1983 movie Jurassic Park.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ T﻿he Devil Wears Prada 2 premieres have taken over the world, and last night, it was Australia&#039;s turn.Aussie stars were led into the gala event at Sydney&#039;s State Theatre last night by actor Patrick Brammall, who plays the love interest of Anne Hathaway&#039;s character Andie Sachs in this iteration of the film.﻿The 50-year-old looked smart in a double-breasted grey suit, but revealed he almost turned down the role.W﻿atch the video aboveHe posed alongside his wife Harriet Dyer at the event, who wore a coordinated black set complete with a blazer, skirt, and lace bandeau.The Colin from Accounts star spoke at the gala event last night, sharing why he nearly didn&#039;t take the role in what is arguably the biggest film of 2026.&quot;It wasn&#039;t self-doubt so much, it was pragmatics,&quot; he shared with the crowd, as per the Sydney Morning Herald.READ MORE: Actor breaks silence on Sabrina cheating rumoursREAD MORE: Purple Wiggle &#039;squirms&#039; over viral heartthrob statusREAD MORE: Single move from Keith&#039;s daughter speaks volumes&quot;When they asked me to audition, and I&#039;m 50, I&#039;ve been around the block, I&#039;ve been working as an actor for many, many years, and I&#039;ve put down a lot of auditions for a lot of big things going, &#039;oh, this could be it.&#039;&quot;And so when that came through, I was like, &#039;that&#039;s really nice that they&#039;re considering me&#039;, but I genuinely didn&#039;t have time,&quot; he said, sharing that he preferred to spend his time on another project and raising his two young daughters, Joni, four, and Mabel, one.&quot;I was just like &#039;at the end of the day, they&#039;re not gonna call me back about this, so no thanks.&#039;&quot;History had told me that 99 per cent of things that you go for as an actor, you don&#039;t get. And so I thought this is really lovely to be in this conversation, but I&#039;ve got other things I&#039;ve got to do, and it wasn&#039;t a play, but it turned out to feel like one because they came back to me with an offer.&quot;﻿Also in attendance was radio star Abbie Chatfield, who has taken over hosting the KIIS breakfast show alongside Mike E and covering the timeslot of the now-defunct Kyle and Jackie O Show – at least, for this week.The Bachelor alum dressed in a ﻿white mini-dress with a low neckline and black pocket detailing, tying the look together with black platform heels and a pair of black stockings as an homage to the office culture of the film.Other famous faces at the star-studded event included Getaway host Catriona Rowntree.For a daily dose of 9honey, subscribe to our newsletter here.The 54-year-old dressed on theme in a structured red gown ﻿with puff sleeves and floral motifs throughout.Her brave appearance came three weeks after she announced the death of her older sister Lucinda, after a battle with cancer on April 10.Christian Wilkins was there, wearing a silver asymmetrical halter top, with the neckline curving over his chest and down his front.He wore intense makeup, packed with blush and face gems.Also playing into the fashion was Aussie influencer ﻿and entrepreneur Rowi Singh, who nailed the office siren look with her glasses and slicked-back bun, and red statement lip.Her dress was a more romantic silhouette, but remained edgy with a pop of silver at the bust. She accessorised with a stack of silver bangles, bringing a touch of her desi culture into the look, and heavy statement earrings stacked on top of one another.Jess Rowe is always one to play with fashion, and she didn&#039;t disappoint last night.The journalist stepped out in an outfit as eccentric as herself, wearing a sequined dress with a pink koala and a blue-and-yellow house on it, which descended into a blue lace skirt with multicoloured florals, ending in a matching fur trim.Her daughters, Allegra and Giselle, joined her. Allegra donning a silver mini-dress and Giselle wearing a champagne-coloured gown for the occasion.Married At First Sight alum Jules Robinson stunned in a deep burgundy﻿ suit, with a pop of orange from her dress shirt underneath.Her signature red hair was slicked back in a bun, and she topped off the look with a black patent handbag and matching gloves.Jessica and Noemie Fox turned up to the event in inverse looks, with older sister Jess in a monochromatic white ensemble consisting of a white blazer and shorts look, perfect for the office.Noemie wore a stunning black gown, adding a pop of colour with a red handbag.Nine&#039;s Entertainment reporter Renee Bargh made a statement in a fully brown leather outfit.The boxy cut of the top contrasted with the straight cut of the skirt, and she added a matching neck scarf. She added a pop of colour with her yellow fringe bag.Sisters Madeline Holtznagel and Simone Holtznagel were twinning at the premiere, with both wearing form-fitting black gowns.Madeline wore a dress with a sweetheart neckline and thick straps across her shoulders, while Simone chose to go sleeveless.One person who truly made a statement was creative director, performance artist, and designer﻿ Brendan de la Hay, who took the theme literally.He donned a red cape with a fur neckline over what seems to be a corset and a pair of shorts.Red garters held up his lace red stockings, which were tucked into thigh-high boots. He also wore black gloves for a dramatic flair.But the most interesting part of his outfit was the headpiece, which criss-crossed over his face and obstructed his view while also threatening to poke out someone else&#039;s eye with the many spikes attached to it.﻿ He accentuated the look with red eye makeup﻿FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.
