Brooke Burke’s kids discovered her cancer diagnosis by accident

OHMYGOSSIP — Brooke Burke’s kids discovered her cancer diagnosis by accident.
The 52-year-old TV star was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2012 and she decided to tell the world about her health battle via a video which she recorded on her phone – but she has now revealed her daughter stumbled across the clip before she had a chance to break the news to her children first.
During an episode of the ‘Getting Grilled’ podcast, Brooke explained: “It was actually really unfortunate. I decided at that time to record a video to communicate with my audience and to post the video on social media.
“The reason that I did that is because I didn’t want it to be a headline and to start showing up everywhere with, like, that f***** up picture and ‘Brooke has Cancer.’ And I didn’t want it to be that cover story.”
However, it all went wrong when one of her kids found it on her phone. She added: “My daughter saw it on my phone before I had posted it. She was like, ‘What the F, mom?’ Like, ‘How could you not tell me?’”
Brooke is mum to daughter Rain, 17, and son Shaya, 16, with her ex-husband David Charvet as well as daughters Neriah, 24, and Sierra, 22, with her ex Garth Fisher.
She went on to explain that after she spoke to her kids about the diagnosis, they al became concerned that she was about to die.
Brooke added: “[he kids] immediately [went] to, ‘Are you gonna die? Are you dying?’ I think that’s what people hear when you hear those words that you have cancer. You go, ’Oh, my God, I’m dying.’ And that’s heavy and that’s hard …
“I think people that are going through cancer, who are fighting that fight, I think it’s tremendously challenging for their family – especially their partners.
“People don’t always realise that and there’s not a lot of support necessarily, you know, there’s [a] tremendous amount of community support within cancer organisations. But what the family goes through, they’re going through it too. They’re going through cancer as well.”
She added of her own fight: “I had this healthy lifestyle. I was like, ‘Cancer? What?’ Like, ‘Me?’ And then I decided to become a really great patient and to assemble a proper team and to really get down into caring for myself and finding faith in my own body and in my team. And I’m one of those people now where I never miss a physical.”
After her diagnosis, Brooke underwent surgery to remove her thyroid and went on to make a full recovery.

Sharon Stone says Kevin Spacey can’t come back because he ‘offended men’

OHMYGOSSIP — Sharon Stone believes Kevin Spacey will never be allowed to mount a comeback because he “offended men”.
The 64-year-old actor’s career crumbled after he was accused of sexual offences in the US and the UK, but he was acquitted after a trial in London in 2023 and a civil suit against him in New York found him not liable, but ‘Basic Instinct’ star Stone is convinced Spacey will never be allowed back into Hollywood because the alleged offences were against men rather than women.
Referring to previous comments she made about Spacey, Stone told The Hollywood Reporter: “People are mad at me for that. I said that after being in therapy for seven years, not being allowed to work, losing his home, losing everything, he should be allowed to come back.
“He’s reached out to everybody he’s offended and said he’s sorry. Kevin grabbed people by their genitals. Many people. But nobody [has publicly said] he’s raped them or forced them into a sexual encounter.
“But there’s so much hatred for him because in his case it was man-on-man. That’s why he’s not allowed to come back. Because he offended men.”
Stone went on to insist she’s been “grabbed” by many men over the years and has never received an apology.
She added: “Can I tell you how many men have grabbed my genitals in my lifetime? A lot more than Kevin Spacey has grabbed men’s genitals. And none of them has ever apologised to me.”
The actress previously insisted the ‘House Of Cards’ star should be allowed to get back to work, telling the Telegraph newspaper: “I can’t wait to see Kevin back at work. He is a genius. He is so elegant and fun, generous to a fault and knows more about our craft than most of us ever will …
“It’s terrible that they are blaming him for not being able to come to terms with themselves for using him and negotiating with themselves because they didn’t get their secret agendas.”

‘We are what we are, in the eyes of God’: Rashida Jones clarifies marital status

OHMYGOSSIP — Rashida Jones has confirmed she and Ezra Koenig are not married.
The 48-year-old actress has been in a relationship with the Vampire Weekend frontman – with whom she has six-year-old son Isaiah – since 2016 and though they often refer to one another as husband and wife, they’ve never officially tied the knot, but she expects they will eventually.
Rashida – who is the daughter of producer Quincy Jones and late model Peggy Lipton – told The New Yorker: “We’re not married. We just kind of call each other that. But we are what we are, in the eyes of God!
“My parents only got married when my dad had his first brain aneurysm and my sister was six months old, because of rights stuff.
“I’m sure we’ll get married at some point, but we basically are.”
The ‘Sunny’ star is “extremely proud” of 40-year-old Ezra’s career but insisted she’s “too old” to be a typical rock star girlfriend.
She said: “Like, vintage fur coats and bus life? No. Too old for bus life. But I’m extremely proud.
“He takes a very long time to make his albums, which is so lucky for me, because it means he’s home a lot of the time. This is our second tour cycle really, so we’ll see how far I go with rock wife.”
Rashida has learned a lot from her own upbringing about how she wants to raise her son in order to be his “own person”.
She said: “My parents did a great job. People say, ‘Oh, you’re so normal, considering the circumstances of how you grew up.’
“And that’s because they prioritised the right things.
“We weren’t overly spoiled, indulged, coddled. They were super loving.
“We travelled a ton, and that’s something I want to give my son.
“I want him to feel like he’s his own person. My parents were very encouraging about that.
“My dad wanted me to have my own life and career and not to live in his shadow. He’s got a big, big, big shadow.
“But he managed to give me the space and the love to be my own person. And that’s why I was able to do it.”

Ariana Grande slams double standards over changing voice

OHMYGOSSIP — Ariana Grande has hit out at the double standards she’s faced after being criticised for her changing voice.
The ‘Thank U, Next’ hitmaker was mocked last month when she spoke in a lower octave before switching back to a higher pitch during an appearance on Penn Badgley’s ‘Podcrushed’, but she’s insisted a man wouldn’t face such ridicule if they had gone method for a role.
Speaking about her role as Glinda in ‘Wicked’, she told Evan Ross Katz on his ‘Shut Up Evan’ podcast: “I did just spend a long time playing a character every single day and training my voice to do different things.
“The voice is in the body, it’s an instrument, and muscle memory is a real thing. That’s a normal thing for people who, it’s their job to transform.
“You see male actors — sure, people make jokes here and there as well about everybody who experiences something like this — but it’s always after the fact that they’re like, ‘Oh, wow, how dedicated to his craft. What an amazing transformation! He’s a brilliant performer!’
“And God forbid I sneeze like Glinda.
“I had a job to do. People change and habits happen. It’s a strange thing to be under such a microscope.”
Evan, who has been friends with Ariana for several years, agreed and told listeners “both” tones are her real voice and it all depends on circumstances such as how intense her vocal regime is and what she is working on as to how she sounds at the time.
And the presenter argued many people don’t understand what goes into being a professional singer or have a sense of “vocal literacy”.
Ariana agreed: “[It’s] a full-time commitment and it’s a lifestyle; it’s not something you can f** around with.”
Elsewhere on the podcast, the 31-year-old singer-and-actress explained she tries not to react to public opinion on matters such as her divorce from Dalton Gomez and subsequent romance with ‘Wicked’ co-star Ethan Slater because she’d rather protect her “peace and privacy”.
Without directly referencing the backlash her relationship with Ethan triggered, she said: “There’s still a lot of misperceptions about everything out there.
“I’ve sent you so many drafts of things like, ‘I want to say this so badly!’
“I always sleep on it and I always come back around to protecting and not taking that bait, because what I have discovered is that protecting my peace and my privacy and the actual details … sometimes when it would be addressing something, you would actually be exposing more of your actual real life.”

Stealers Wheel star Joe Egan dies

OHMYGOSSIP — Stealers Wheel star Joe Egan has died.
The rocker – who co-wrote the band’s hit track ‘Stuck In The Middle With You’ – passed away aged 77 and news of his passing emerged over the weekend (06-07.07.24) with Martha Rafferty – daughter of Egan’s later bandmate Gerry Rafferty – confirming the loss in an emotional post on Facebook.
She wrote: “Very sad news that the other half of Stealers Wheel, Joe Egan, passed away peacefully yesterday afternoon with his nearest and dearest around him.
“I will always remember him as a sweet and gentle soul. May he rest in peace.”
Egan was born in Scotland in 1946 and became friends with Gerry Rafferty when they were attending St Mirin’s Academy school together. He was a keen footballer and had hoped to become a professional player, before turning his hand to music and forming Stealers Wheel with his pal Gerry in 1972.
They went on to release ‘Stuck In The Middle With You’ – which the pair wrote together – a year later and it was a big hit with the song climbing to number eight on the UK Singles Chart and peaking at number six on America’s Billboard Hot 100.
However, Rafferty had already left the band by the time success came their way – exiting before their self-titled debut album was released in 1972 and before ‘Stuck In The Middle With You’ became a big hit.
Egan continued the band without his friend, who later returned and they continued as a duo. They released two more albums together – ‘Ferguslie Park’ in 1973 and ‘Right or Wrong’ in 1975 before splitting later that year.
Egan went on to focus on a solo career releasing ‘Out of Nowhere’ in 1979 and ‘Map’ in 1981 but eventually left the music industry in the 1990s.
Stealers Wheel reunited in 2008 but neither Egan or Rafferty – who died in 2011 – took part.
Speaking shortly after Rafferty’s death, Egan told the Paisley Daily Express newspaper: “We lived in each other’s pockets for so long and, latterly, would speak regularly on the phone.
“Gerry was around six months older than me and was also a year above at school. I was always interested in music, like Gerry, but I was also into football in a big way and at one stage I’d hoped to make it as a player.
“But when it became clear that I thought I was better than I actually was, I threw myself headfirst into my music. That’s when Gerry and I first got together … We formed Stealers Wheel along with Rab Noakes and an American guy called Roger Brown, but the line-up changed over time and at the end it was just Gerry and I who recorded the last two albums.”

JoJo Siwa’s grandma encouraged on-stage drinking ritual

OHMYGOSSIP — JoJo Siwa’s grandma encouraged her to “take a shot” on stage.
The 21-year-old star admitted one of her “favourite parts” of her performances at Pride festivals has been when she “drinks the alcohol” and she explained she was persuaded to incorporate it into her sets after her her older relative told her it was something she “should” do.
Speaking on her own ‘JoJo Siwa Now’ podcast, she said: “This idea of doing this stemmed from, I was in rehearsals and we were starting a new routine [for] ‘Yesterday’s Tomorrow’s Today,’ and my 21st birthday had just passed.
“I was like, ‘I wanna f****** take a shot before this.’ And my grandma was like, ‘Alright, JoJo. You should do it.’ And I was like, alright. Let’s do it!”
The ‘Karma’ singer’s drink ritual saw her audience go “absolutely ballistic” and the former ‘Dance Moms’ star noted it became a particularly “big thing” during Los Angeles Pride in the Park last month.
She said: “I bought out a jug of Tito’s, and people were like, ‘Woah. What are you doing? Is it real? Is it fake?’
“And I was like, ‘B****, it is what it f****** is. It’s a bottle of Tito’s.’”
The ‘Guilty Pleasure’ star has performed at a string of Pride festivals in recent months, including in Los Angeles, London, New York, Miami and Chicago and was delighted to break audience records at the latter two shows.
She wrote on Instagram about her Chicago show: “Chicago Pride WHAT THE F***!! [rainbow emoji]
“What a time to be alive. Yesterday was unreal. I found out I set the record for most people in attendance at Chicago Pride at 2 a f****** clock in the afternoon… THAT IS NUTTY.”
“You all really did that, showed up and had the best time with me.
“I saw you all with your posters, ur F***** KARMA MAKEUP YOU ICONS, some construction vests, some JOJO BOWS, f****** epic. Best f****** time I love you THANK YOU.”

Rashida Jones was bitten by Bubbles the Chimp

OHMYGOSSIP — Rashida Jones was bitten by Michael Jackson’s pet chimpanzee when she was a child.
The ‘Sunny’ actress – whose father Quincy Jones produced the ‘Billie Jean’ hitmaker’s iconic albums ‘Off the Wall’, ‘Bad’, and ‘Thriller’ – had a “traumatic” experience with the late singer’s beloved Bubbles after she let him out of his cage and her attempts to stop him causing chaos backfired.
Asked her memories of Michael during her childhood, the 48-year-old star told The New Yorker: “He was really young. My dad met him on ‘The Wiz’. He was maybe 19. He was like a big kid with lots of animals.
“Sorry, I was just sighing, because I was just thinking about how I was bit by his monkey.”
Asked if she meant Bubbles, she clarified she did and added: “It was my fault. Well, no, it’s not my fault. I am not the one who put a chimpanzee in overalls and a diaper.
“But I did antagonise him. I was nine. He was in a cage, and he took my hairband out of my hand. Everybody else had left the room, and I was, like, ‘Give it back!’ He was playing with it and wouldn’t give it back to me. So I opened the cage, and he came out.
“Then he started running around the room and throwing books. A bit of a nightmare, now that I think about it.
“I went up to him and was, like, ‘No! No!’ — because I’d seen Michael say ‘No!’ to him. And I slapped him on the head, just a light, little slap. And he took my hand like a sandwich and bit into it.
“I know. Traumatic. He’s 40 and he lives in Florida now, I think. He’s retired. [From what?] Biting children?
“I saw that he’s the alpha male of his group, in whatever chimp retirement home he’s at.”
Rashida recalled finding Michael “very scary” when she got to visit her dad on the set of the famous ‘Thriller’ music video.
She said: “I remember we went to the set of the video, in Griffith Park. We were reading the storyboards, and right when we got to the part where he turns around and he’s a werewolf, Michael walked into the trailer with those crazy yellow eyes. Very scary!”
The ‘Parks and Recreation’ actress regrets not holding onto her memorabilia from that time.
She said: “It changed everything for my dad. I remember watching the Grammys at home, and he won every single Grammy.
“I had so many ‘Thriller’ T-shirts and memorabilia. I don’t think I have any of that anymore. That’s really sad.”

Meagan Good’s friends warned her not to date Jonathan Majors

OHMYGOSSIP — Meagan Good’s friends warned her not to date Jonathan Majors.
The 42-year-old actress struck up a relationship with the ‘Creed III’ star in May 2023 just months before he was convicted of harassing and assaulting his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari and she has now revealed her pals urged her to steer clear of Jonathan because of his legal issues.
During an appearance on the ‘Today’ show, Meagan revealed her friends told her to “wait to see how everything kinda shakes out [with the trial].”
She added: “Yeah every friend advised me, but at the end of the day, one thing I know is I can always look at myself in the mirror when I trust my spirit, when I trust God, when I ask God, and when I move to the beat of my own drum.”
At the conclusion of his trial in December 2023, Jonathan was found guilty of one count of reckless assault in the third degree and a charge of harassment as a violation, but Meagan stood by him and she has no regrets about her decision.
She added: “I can always look and say, ‘OK, I’m proud of that.’ No matter whatever happens, I have peace in my heart, and I have harmony in my heart …
“The support that we’ve been able to give each other, the pouring into each other, the honest conversations, the love, the respect, just the care and the thoughtfulness … it’s just been really wonderful”.
Jonathan’s legal issues have brought a lot of scrutiny to the couple, but the ‘Harlem’ actress recently insisted she tries to “stay authentic” and ignore the gossip.
She told PEOPLE: “I keep my eyes on God, you know, that’s the focus. And I stay true to myself and I stay authentic. I know what I know that I know.
“And in time, everything else just catches up with what you know, if you’re true to yourself and you’re authentic.
“There’s some things you just gotta be like, ‘I ain’t got time for that. Let me go see what my nephew’s doing. Let me see what my mama’s doing. Let me go see what my man’s doing. Let me go get this job’.”
Jonathan was sentenced to a year of court-ordered domestic violence intervention counselling following his conviction and he recently opened up about the effect the court case had on him.
While accepting the perseverance award at the 2024 Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards in June, he said: “I reckon folks want to know about this last year.
“As a black man in the criminal justice system, I felt anger. I felt sadness, hurt, surprise.
“When they snatched me up out of my apartment in handcuffs, I didn’t feel like all that. I didn’t feel like Jonathan Majors …
“I felt like a little scared, weak boy. Despite the support and the evidence that was in my favour I knew s*** was bad. It was bad because of who I was and what I am.”
Jonathan also admitted to his “shortcomings” in his speech, adding: “We live in a world where men – black men in particular – are propped up as either superheroes or super villains.
“But I’ve come to realise, me, personally, I ain’t none of that. I’m imperfect. I have shortcomings, I acknowledge them. I love my craft.”

Violet Affleck calls for action on long COVID

OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck’s teenage daughter Violet has made a passionate plea for long COVID to be taken seriously.
Violet, 18, attended a meeting of local officials in Los Angeles on Tuesday (09.07.24) and made a passionate speech in which she revealed she battled an unspecified “post-viral condition” in 2019 and called for more to be done to tackle cases of COVID-19 that have led to lasting complications – asking for face masks to be worn in public buildings and for increased availability of testing and treatment.
During a meeting of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, Violet used the public comment section to make her plea. She introduced herself as Violet Affleck, Los Angeles resident, first-time voter and 18.”
She went on: “I contracted a post-viral condition in 2019. I’m OK now, but I saw first-hand that medicine does not always have answers to the consequences of even minor viruses. The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown that into sharper relief.
“One in 10 infections leads to long COVID, which is a devastating neurological [and] cardiovascular illness that can take away people’s ability to work, move, see, and even think.”
Violet then laid out a series of measures she wants to be implemented to help keep cases down. She added: “To confront the long COVID crisis, I demand mask availability, air filtration and far-UVC light in government facilities, including jails and detention centres, and mask mandates in county medical facilities.
“We must expand the availability of high-quality free tests and treatment and, most importantly, the county must oppose mask bans for any reason.
“They do not keep us safer, they make vulnerable members of our community less safe and make everyone less able to participate in Los Angeles together. Thank you.”
Garner, 52, and Affleck, 51, – who divorced in 2018 – are also parents to Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.

Charlize Theron launches dance studio

OHMYGOSSIP — Charlize Theron has launched a dance studio in Los Angeles.
The 48-year-old Hollywood actress has been busy working on her new venture – a studio called The Six Compound for dancers aged eight to 18 – three decades after an injury forced her to give up her dream of becoming a ballerina and pursue a career in the movie industry instead.
In a post on Instagram, Charlize shared her big new with fans, writing: “I’ve been a bit MIA lately, but I have a good excuse I swear. It’s because … I started a dance studio!
“Alongside my co-creators and incomparable icons Latrina Bolger-Washington and Tyrell Washington, we created The Six Compound!”
She added of the initiative: “[It’s] a place with a fresh perspective to the evolution and future of dance AND performance. A place where dancers/performers can express themselves in an inclusive and innovative space alongside the best teachers and choreographers in the business right now.”
The first classes launch at the studio in Burbank this week with the actress revealing kids can sign up for two days of “training, insight into the entertainment world and Q As with top leading professionals”.
Charlize trained as a dancer as a child and later moved to New York to model while also attending the prestigious Joffrey Ballet School before a knee injury ended her plan of becoming a professional dancer.
In 2008, she told the New York Times newspaper: “Even though I was modelling, I always thought of myself as a dancer. I had the capability to be a bigger model than I was. They were always telling me: ‘Lose five pounds and you’ll be a supermodel’.
“But I saw modelling like waitressing – it was a way to pay for another career, and that career was dance.”
She explained a knee injury left her sidelined and her mum convinced her to take a new path which led her to Hollywood. Charlize added to the publication: “I realised I couldn’t dance anymore, and I went into a major depression. My mom came over from South Africa and said, ‘Either you figure out what to do next or you come home, because you can sulk in South Africa’.”

John Corbett picked ‘wrong’ career

OHMYGOSSIP — John Corbett chose the “wrong” career path because he feels life as an actor has been “unfulfilling”.
The ‘Sex and The City’ star has worked in front of the camera since the 1980s landing roles in films such as ‘Serendipity’, ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding’ and ‘Raising Helen’, but John is adamant he would prefer to be in a more “creative” job.
During an appearance on the ‘Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade’ podcast, John, 63, explained: “Look, I’m in the fourth quarter of the football game now, in life and in showbiz. It’s just a fact. So I can reveal now I picked the f****** wrong thing to do with my life.
“I’ve made a lot of money. I live in a beautiful home. People come to me at every restaurant I go in. I’m a friend of the world … [But] I didn’t write one f****** line. I didn’t write one joke to make people laugh. So it’s been unfulfilling on that level.”
John went on to compare life as an actor to waiting for an appointment in a doctor’s office. He explained: “I’m not collaborating with the writers. Have you ever sat in a waiting room of a doctor’s office for like an hour and been like, ‘What the f***?’
“For me, that’s what making a movie is like, because I’m not part of any creative process.”
John – who won a legion of fans for his role as Aidan in ‘Sex and The City’ – went on to insist he prefers working in TV to movies. He added: “I’m not a movie actor … I’m really a television actor and so that has to move quick and that guy’s got to make a million decisions. And we’re not shucking and jiving and going out for wine after.'”
John concluded by insisting he now only picks projects he thinks are going to be “really, really fun”.
The actor has been in a relationship with fellow screen star Bo Derek for more than two decades, but they only got married in 2020 and decided to keep the news private.
During an episode of US TV show ‘The Talk’ in 2021, John confirmed the pair had tied the knot. He said: “We’re pretty private people, we didn’t make an announcement, all our friends and family knew but this is the first time either one of us has said anything publicly about it because really we haven’t had an opportunity. So, you’re my buddy and now I guess I’m telling all of America, or the world …
“After 20 years we decided to get married, we didn’t want 2020 to be that thing that everybody looks back at and hated. We thought, ‘Well, let’s get one nice thing out of it’.”

Christina Applegate working on a memoir

OHMYGOSSIP — Christina Applegate is to tell her life story in a new memoir.
The 52-year-old actress made the revelation during an episode of her podcast ‘MeSsy’ – which she co-hosts with ‘The Sopranos’ star Jamie-Lynn Sigler – which featured her ‘Anchorman’ co-star Will Ferrell. After making a reference to her actress mother Nancy Priddy, Christina teased fans by saying: “It’s gonna be in the book”.
When Will pushed her about the book news, Christina added: “I’m writing it right now”.
Christina’s autobiography is likely to detail her early days as a child star, her rise to fame in Hollywood and her heartbreaking battle with multiple sclerosis.
The news comes after Christina shared her bucket list of things she wants to do before she dies.
In a post on X – formerly known as Twitter – she wrote: “There are things I want to do with the days I have left in life. I want to work with Shirley MacLaine.
“And do shots with Cher! And yes my days are so big. Just saying.”
Christina went public with her MS diagnosis in 2021 revealing she had been diagnosed with the autoimmune disorder while filming the final season of her Netflix show ‘Dead To Me’.
She has since been very open about her struggle with the condition, recently revealing she tries to deal with it using humour.
During an appearance on ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’, Christina explained: “My humour shield keeps me OK, but of course, down on the insides, you feel the things and I do it to kind of deflect and then also make people not be scared to be around me.
“You know, when people see me now as a disabled person, I want them to feel comfortable. That we can laugh about it.”

Sharon Stone strips nearly naked to paint after revealing $18 million was ripped from her accounts

OHMYGOSSIP — Sharon Stone stripped almost naked to paint after revealing she had $18 million ripped from her accounts as she recovered from her near-fatal stroke.
The ‘Basic Instinct’ actress, who has become a keen artist, 66, proudly displayed her body in a cheeky Instagram post that showed her standing in swimsuit bottoms with her back to the camera while appearing to use her fingers to finish one of her abstract paintings at her home in California.
She captioned the image: “Sometimes I just have to go from pool to painting.”
The snap emerged after The Hollywood Reporter carried an interview with the star in which she said her $18 million of career earnings disappeared
during the years she was stopped from working after she suffered brain injury from a stroke.
It took her seven years to mostly recover from the effects of the illness, with doctors giving her grim one-in-100 odds of surviving.
She told THR: “People took advantage of me over that time. I had $18 million saved because of all my success, but when I got back into my bank account, it was all gone.
“My refrigerator, my phone – everything was in other people’s names.
“I had zero money.”
She added about the subarachnoid haemorrhage she suffered in 2001: “I bled into my brain for nine days, so my brain was shoved to the front of my face.
“It wasn’t positioned in my head where it was before.
“My sense of smell, my sight, my touch. I couldn’t read for a couple of years.
“Things were stretched and I was seeing colour patterns. A lot of people thought I was going to die.”
Sharon also said about how the stroke changed her outlook on life and spirituality: “A Buddhist monk told me that I had been reincarnated into my same body.
“I had a death experience and then they brought me back.”

George Clooney latest celebrity to fiercely urge Joe Biden to quit US presidential race

OHMYGOSSIP — George Clooney is the latest celebrity to fiercely urge Joe Biden to immediately quit the 2024 US presidential race.
The ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ actor, 63, has hosted a string of fundraisers for under-fire Biden, 81, and insists he considers him a “friend”, but has now declared the octogenarian cannot win the “battle against time”.
In a highly critical op-ed by the star, published by the New York Times on Wednesday (10.07.24), George blasted: “It’s devastating to say it, but he is not the same man he was, and he won’t win this fall.
“I love Joe Biden. As a senator. As a vice president and as president. I consider him a friend, and I believe in him.
“But the one battle he cannot win is the fight against time.”
George met Biden three weeks ago at a fundraiser and added he held leaders of the Democratic party responsible for ignoring every “warning sign” of Biden’s declining physical and mental capabilities.
He added Biden is no longer “the same man” he once knew and said he will lose Democrats the White House and both chambers of Congress this year.
After formerly being one of the democrat’s biggest backers, George went on:
“It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fundraiser was not the Joe ‘big f****** deal’ Biden of 2010.
“He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate.
“We are not going to win in November with this president. On top of that, we won’t win the House and we’re going to lose the Senate.
“This isn’t only my opinion; this is the opinion of every senator and congress member and governor that I’ve spoken with in private. Every single one, irrespective of what he or she is saying publicly.”
He also called democrat officials to stop burying their “heads in the sand” over the president’s competence.
Celebrities including Stephen King, 76, and director Rob Reiner, 77, have also called Biden to quit running for president.
But the leader is staying defiant and has demanded an “end” to protests over his age and says he is still best placed to beat his rival Donald Trump, 78, to another four years in office.

Olivia Munn and John Mulaney ‘quietly married at weekend’

OHMYGOSSIP — Olivia Munn and John Mulaney reportedly quietly married at the weekend.
The ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ actress, 44, and her 41-year-old comic husband, who have been together since 2021 and have two-year-old son Malcolm Hiệ, got hitched in what a source close to John called a “simple” and “intimate” ceremony.
An insider told People on Wednesday (10.07.24): “Only their son and a witness were in attendance.”
The pair’s apparent nuptials come four months after Olivia publicly revealed her “terrifying” breast cancer diagnosis.
She also recently had her eggs frozen for future IVF procedures before she had a hysterectomy in case her chemotherapy treatment affected her fertility.
Olivia and John last month sparked marriage rumours when the comedian uploaded a picture of himself wearing a wedding ring – before he quickly deleted the snap.
He got together with Olivia in the wake of his split from his artist ex-wife Anna Marie Tendler, 39, to whom he was married for seven years.
The couple had their son in 2021, a year after former ‘Saturday Night Live’ writer John went to rehab and got divorced.
He went public with the pregnancy on ‘Late Night With Seth Meyers’, after Seth had been part of his substance abuse intervention in 2020.
John told his TV host friend, 50, he and Olivia had an “incredible” relationship, adding: “Olivia and this baby have helped save me from myself in this early journey out of recovery.”
John went into rehab for cocaine addiction and alcohol abuse for 60 days in December 2020, Page Six reported.
Olivia has said her body is scarred with “divots and dents” after her breast cancer fight.
The actress told People about being left with “battle wounds” from her gruelling hysterectomy: “I have some divots and dents on one side of my body near where the lymph nodes were, and they had to really dig out.
“And I’ve been wearing some dresses on the red carpet that made me a little stressed out at times.”
