Sarah Hyland’s first anniversary tribute to Wells Adams

OHMYGOSSIP — Sarah Hyland says Wells Adams stole her “heart” from the moment they met.
The ‘Modern Family’ actress marked the couple’s first anniversary together on Sunday (16.09.18) by sharing a cute holiday photo of the pair and recalling how they became an item after the ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ star asked to “carry her purse”, which led to their first kiss.
Alongside the selfie of the couple, Sarah wrote on her Instagram profile: “1 year ago today, You asked to hold my purse when I was dancing. In that moment you took my heart. You then gave me my last first kiss. And in that moment you took my breath away. I love you to Pluto and back @wellsadams *YES PLUTO IS A PLANET. IT WILL ALWAYS BE* (sic)”
The pair made the next step in their relationship last month, when Wells made the move from Tennessee to California to move in with the 27-year-old star.
The actress said it has made them even “closer”.
She said: “I think it’s brought us closer. I don’t think it’s been long enough to discover pet peeves in each other.”
And now they live under the same roof, Wells says things couldn’t be better.
He said recently: “It’s been weirdly perfect, there have been no real issues. We were scared about the dogs meeting, but that went really well. It’s been perfect. It’s been great.”
Wells said the key to their romance is being “emotionally ready”, as well as having “similar interests”.
He said: “I think you have to be emotionally ready for that and that’s number one. Then I think you have to find the person that compliments you the best, and Sarah is that for me. We’re both huge dorks, we have similar interests. Our brands are the same! Dogs, rose, tacos, [and] ‘The Bachelor’!”

Katie Price’s home hit by fire

OHMYGOSSIP — Katie Price’s house was reportedly hit by a fire last week.
The 40-year-old former glamour model’s mansion in Sussex, South England, was left damaged when her five-year-old son Jett’s bedroom went up in flames, but thankfully no one was hurt and the ‘Loose Women’ star’s stepfather Paul was able to extinguish the blaze.
A source told The Sun Online: “Katie and the family were terrified the house was going to burn down.
“The fire started in Jett’s bedroom, which is on the first floor, and quickly spread throughout the room.
“Fortunately, Katie’s stepdad Paul was able to contain the blaze before it got out of control and they didn’t have to call the fire brigade.
“She’s trying to sell the house at the moment so it’s really bad news for Katie. It’s going to cost her a fortune to repair.
“The hallway and the bedroom have been blackened by smoke and it’s a big clean-up operation.
“Nobody knows how it started but if Paul hadn’t been visiting at the time with Katie’s mum Amy, the whole house could have burnt to the ground.”
The fire is the latest blow to Katie, who split from husband Kieran Hayler – the father of Jett and his four-year-old sister Bunny – earlier this year, as she’s also facing bankruptcy and her mother is suffering from a terminal lung condition.
And two of Katie’s children, Junior, 13, and 11-year-old Princess, are believed to be living with their father, her first husband Peter Andre, during the turbulent time in her life.
Though the ‘Mysterious Girl’ hitmaker hasn’t confirmed that he’s taken the kids full time, he has admitted he is doing his best to “protect” them from “negativity”.
Asked about Junior and Princess living with him and wife Emily – the mother of his younger children Amelia, four, and 22-month-old Theo – he said: “We’ve had an amazing summer but I’m afraid I can’t really talk about it…
“I’m dealing with everything that’s going on at the moment and my kids are my priority, but I think it’s very important to deal with these things privately and I’m doing so.
“Making sure my kids are protected and away from any negativity is my main priority.
“I just want them to focus on school and weekends and having fun.”
Katie also has an older son, Harvey, 16, from a relationship with Dwight Yorke.

Alex Kingston watched Doctor Who strip show

OHMYGOSSIP — Alex Kingston once stumbled upon a ‘Doctor Who’ strip show which featured a burlesque performer dressed as various versions of the Time Lord.
The 55-year-old actress – who has played River Song in the sci-fi show since 2008 – was in Atlanta, Georgia when she ended up watching a surreal burlesque performance based on the popular programme, in which the performer wore TARDIS-inspired nipple pasties.
Speaking to the i newspaper, she said: “I ended up going to a burlesque strip show, and it was very weird because the act was based on ‘Doctor Who’.
“The dancer started as William Hartnell. She had his black tuxedo coat and a cravat. She took that off and underneath that she was Tom Baker in a big scarf. Then she took that off to reveal she had Peter Davison’s cricket whites on underneath.
“Then she took that off, and she was David Tennant in his little pin-stripey jacket. She must have been boiling. Under that, she was Matt Smith in a bow tie and a fez. ‎Next she took off Matt, and she was the Tardis. She had TARDIS blue sequinned pasties over her nipples and a tiny sequinned G string in TARDIS blue.”
Alex also recently had a chance meeting with new ‘Doctor Who’ star Jodie Whittaker – who will portray the Thirteenth Doctor – at Comic Con in San Diego.
She said: “If you’ve been on ‘Doctor Who’, you hug someone who’s been on that show like they’re an old friend, even though you’ve never met them before really, or hardly know them.
“It’s like, ‘I know you, but I don’t know you.’ So it was really lovely. Jodie and I had a hug, and of course all the fans outside went nuts.”

AJ Pritchard ‘open’ to finding love on Strictly Come Dancing

OHMYGOSSIP — AJ Pritchard is “open” to finding love again on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 23-year-old professional dancer is focusing all of his energy on his and Paralympic swimmer Lauren Steadman’s bid to win this year’s Glitterball Trophy, but the blonde hunk hasn’t ruled out meeting a love interest on the BBC One Latin and ballroom show this year.
He told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: “I’m happy people are interested in us. We’re both single and we will see what happens.
“I’m sure people will enjoy our romantic performance in our first show, which is going to be something special.
“I’m open to finding love.”
AJ was romantically linked to his dance partner Mollie King last year, and though they are not together, he says they are still on good terms and she’s even been offering her support to him and Lauren.
He said: “We’re always in contact. She’s behind me 100 per cent.
“I know she’s a bit nervous for us but will support me all the way.”
AJ and Lauren have had their rehearsal time cut back ahead of the first live show on Saturday (22.09.18), as Lauren has been in Australia taking part in a Paratriathlon event.
AJ predicts they’ll work well together “under pressure” on the night.
He said: “We will perform under pressure. Every second counts, we’ll cherish that time together more than any other couple.
“I’m so happy to get Lauren. We trained for only three hours before she had to fly to Australia and have just two days together before the live show, which is slightly scary.
“But it challenges me as a choreographer, I want to use it as a positive. I am enjoying working with her.
“Everyone will be surprised after week one.”
‘Strictly Come Dancing’ airs from 6.15pm on Saturday (22.09.18).

Sheridan Smith unveils second album

OHMYGOSSIP — Sheridan Smith has teamed up with Ed Sheeran’s songwriter Amy Wadge on her second studio album.
The 37-year-old actress-and-singer is set to release her follow-up to her self-titled debut album on November 4, ‘A Northern Soul’, which saw her recruit songwriters to the stars, including the ‘Shape of You’ co-writer, James Bay producer Jimmy Hogarth and Eg White – famed for his work with Adele and Florence + The Machine.
Speaking about the personal collections of songs, Sheridan said: “I’ve loved getting back into the music.
“It feels great to be able to sing a song while telling a story in three minutes.
“I’ve been working with some amazing people who can get inside my head and help me write these great songs about my life.”
The former ‘Gavin and Stacey’ star previously said she found it “quite weird” having to be herself on her new album.
Last year’s ‘Sheridan’ was comprised of covers from musicals, but she admitted it’s more challenging penning lyrics about her own life than portraying a character on screen or stage.
She spilled: “When you’re playing a character you immerse yourself into someone else. That’s the first thing I found quite weird about doing an album – having to be me.”
The former ‘Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps’ star – who battled with extreme anxiety when her father passed away in December 2016 – said it had been like therapy channelling how she is feeling through her music.
She said: “That’s a way of releasing stress and stuff and you know, putting it into music so I can’t wait – it’ll be nice to do the two opposite things.”
The record is expected to be focused on the ‘Cilla’ star’s real life experiences with songs set to be inspired by the tragic death of her dad Colin Smith, and her recent engagement to insurance broker Jamie Horn.
Sheridan landed her deal with East West Records after impressing with her vocal talents on stage and screen, with roles in musicals ‘Into The Woods’, ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ and ‘Legally Blonde’ and most notably when she played late singer and TV presenter Cilla Black in the 2014 TV series ‘Cilla’.
Cilla’s hit ‘Anyone Who Had A Heart’ was covered by Sheridan and was one of the highlights of the LP along with ‘City of Stars’ from ‘La La Land’, ‘And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going’ from ‘Dreamgirls’ and ‘For Forever’ from the contemporary Broadway smash ‘Dear Evan Hansen’.
Sheridan’s first record reached number nine on the UK chart and also earned her two Classical BRIT Award nominations.
Sheridan is also the subject of a brand new ITV documentary which will be televised on the album’s release date.
The lead single ‘Priceless’ is out now.
Sheridan’s ‘A Northern Soul’ tracklisting is as follows:
1.’A Northern Soul’
2. ‘Handle With Care’
3. ‘Priceless’
4. ‘Are You Just Sleeping?
5. ‘Remedy in the Melody’
6. ‘Rock Bottom’
7. ‘Why Can’t I Fall In Love’
8. ‘Ain’t That Funny’
9. ‘Sweetest of Thieves’
10. ‘Listen to the Rain’
11. ‘The One’
12. ‘Don’t Beg For Love’

The ‘Envy Us’ rapper and the rising singer/songwriter, both 26, will collect their prizes at a star-studded ceremony in London on October 23.

On the night, prizes for Song of the Year, Top Digital Song, Top EDM song and Film Score of the Year will also be dished out.
Paul Williams, president of ASCAP and chairman of the board, said: “Stefflon Don and Tom Walker are self-made firebrands paving the way for the British music scene.
“Whether through their solo works or collaborations with the biggest hitmakers the world has to offer, both artists have truly set an unbeatable standard in their dedication to authentic, honest songwriting.
“We are so honoured to celebrate Stefflon and Tom’s chart-topping and globe-trotting careers, and look forward to watching them take off in Europe and beyond.”
Dua Lipa and The Amazons won the Vanguard Award last year.

Beano earns second Guinness World Record

OHMYGOSSIP — The Beano has been awarded a second Guinness World Records title.
The iconic children’s entertainment brand has launched the world’s largest competition to finish a unique comic strip inspired by the V&A Dundee, with in excess of 650 entrants at the 3D Festival over the weekend.
People attending Scotland’s first design museum were faced with the challenge of completing a bespoke eight page comic, which starred beloved Beano characters including the likes of Dennis the Menace and his dog Gnasher, Minnie the Minx and The Bash Street Kids.
The children’s favourite – which also holds the Guinness World Record for the longest running weekly comic – will give one lucky designer the chance to have their strip displayed in the V&A Dundee.
The comic strip sees the pupils of the Bash Street School invited to the museum, meeting its architect Kengo Kuma and director Philip Long.
The final panel challenged entrants to draw what they think should be on display instead of Plug’s face.
Mike Stirling, Editorial Director of Beano Studios and Global Ambassador for Dundee said: “This new world record proves the ever-lasting love for our rebellious Beano characters, especially in their home city of Dundee. The competition shows that everyone can design something imaginative, creative and awesome.
“It’s no surprise to me that there’s so much fantastic creative talent in the city; Beano and V&A Dundee are iconic symbols of this. I can’t wait to see what Beano fans worldwide think when they check out our exclusive comic story, plus some of our favourite entries on Beano.com. Is there a more creative city anywhere, right now?”
On the subject of the record, Craig Glenday – Editor-in-chief of Guinness World Records – praised the Beano for its impact on youngsters, while teasing the possibility of further accolades.
He added: “As a Dundonian myself, it’s particularly thrilling to award this Guinness World Records title to a comic as iconic – and as symbolic of Dundee – as the Beano. As the world’s longest-running comic, the Beano has inspired creativity (and naughtiness!) in kids for generations, so it’s fitting that it’s being celebrated by both V&A Dundee and Guinness World Records. And we’re still hoping to open a category for most sausages eaten by a dog in a minute for Gnasher, to add to their accolades!”
Meanwhile, Philip Long said: “We’re delighted to celebrate our opening with the Beano, in its own right, an icon of design. Beano Studios is a prime example of contemporary design evolution, adapting their character design over time to survive and thrive. “We look forward to welcoming audiences to view the winning design, alongside our Scottish Design Galleries and changing exhibitions.”

Laura Anderson reveals why Paul Knops broke up with her

OHMYGOSSIP — Laura Anderson thinks Paul Knops broke up with her because they were in a “different place”.
The 29-year-old reality star has confirmed she and Paul – who she met on ITV2 show ‘Love Island’ – have split, and she admitted the 31-year-old star ended things with her after he returned from partying in America.
Speaking to OK! magazine, she said: “When we came out of the villa there were a lot of work related things that we did together and then Paul went away for three weeks.
“He went to Burning Man festival in America and he couldn’t get a phone signal for a week and I was absolutely fine with that, I trusted him not to do things with other girls, which he didn’t.
“I was hoping that when he came back we’d spend more time together and build a proper relationship out of the villa. But it didn’t happen.
“Maybe he came back and he was in a different place. The first day I saw him, he had a PA up in Huddersfield and I went with him.
“I thought I’d make the effort otherwise we wouldn’t see each other for a while but, well, he broke up with me.”
While the two have been in communication since their “calm and mature” break up, the former air hostess admits she doesn’t want to see what he’s doing on social media so she unfollowed Paul on Instagram.
She said: “I don’t want to see what he’s up to now because I’m not involved in that. If he needs me he’ll call me, but I don’t want to watch his stories. You have a look now and again and it torments you!”
Laura and Paul finished second to Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham on ‘Love Island’.
She had her fair share of heartache on the show after coupling up with both Wes Nelson, and then Jack Fowler, but neither romance lasted, and she got close to Paul after he was introduced as a new contestant during the latter stages of the series.

Sally Field ‘flattered’ to be the love of Burt Reynolds’ life

OHMYGOSSIP — Sally Field was “always flattered” when Burt Reynolds referred to her as the love of his life.
The ‘Boogie Nights’ actor tragically passed away earlier this month at the age of 82, and his former partner and actress Sally – whom he hated for five years after meeting her in 1977 – has admitted she was fond of being referred to as the love of the legendary actor’s life, despite calling him “complicated”.
Asked how she felt about the term, 71-year-old Sally said: “I was always flattered when he said that. But he was a complicated man.”
The former couple met whilst filming ‘Smokey and the Bandit’ over 40 years ago, and Sally admits their connection was “instantaneous”.
Speaking in an interview with Diane Sawyer during an interview which aired on ‘Good Morning America’ on Monday (17.09.18), she added: “We’d known each other about three days, four days. It was instantaneous and four days felt like four years. You can see it in our faces. We were sort of, you know, deeply entangled. The nature of it wasn’t just, ‘Oh this is a love affair.’ There was some ingredient between us having to do with my care-taking and him needing to be taken care of.”
The ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ actress is currently promoting her new memoir, ‘In Pieces’, which details parts of her relationship with Burt, and she recently revealed she’s “glad” he won’t be able to read it because she was scared the words “would hurt him”.
She said: “This would hurt him. I felt glad that he wasn’t going to read it, he wasn’t going to be asked about it, and he wasn’t going to have to defend himself or lash out, which he probably would have. I did not want to hurt him any further.”

Dakota Johnson ‘shocked’ by Chris Hemsworth’s body

OHMYGOSSIP — Dakota Johnson was “shocked” by Chris Hemsworth’s “outrageous” body.
The 28-year-old actress – who is in a relationship with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin – worked with the Hollywood hunk for the upcoming movie ‘Bad Times at the El Royale’, and has said she was taken aback by the scenes in which Chris had to take his shirt off, because she says his body is “scientifically shocking”.
Speaking about Chris – who is married to Elsa Pataky, with whom he has six-year-old daughter India, and four-year-old twin sons Sasha and Tristan – Dakota said: “His body is outrageous, it’s unbelievable, like a crazy, crazy thing to look at, and his shirt’s completely unbuttoned.
“No-one on set could pay attention to anything else: it was so shocking, not in a sexual way at all, just, like, scientifically, how is it possible to look like that?”
The ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ star added she was even more stunned to see the 35-year-old actor munching on unhealthy snacks, as she has to “eat green things for three months” in order to keep her figure.
Speaking to Vogue Australia, she said: “Then he would eat a bowl of Smarties and you’re like: ‘You’re an a**hole, f**k you!’ I don’t eat anything sweet: I eat green things for three months in order to fit into a pair of jeans.
“And he eats whatever the f**k he wants and looks like he was literally chiselled out of marble – it’s insane.”
This isn’t the first time the brunette beauty has gushed over her co-star either, as she recently joked it was a “big mistake” to get the ‘Avengers’ actor to remove his shirt for the movie, because his physique was so distracting.
She said: “I think it was a really big mistake to have him take his shirt off.
“Because it’s all you can look at. It’s so astonishing. It’s really impressive.
“He may or may not do a little dance of sorts. And it’s so, so spectacular.”

Danny Dyer’s family day out

OHMYGOSSIP — Danny Dyer took his wife and son to a sewer on Sunday (16.09.18).
The ‘EastEnders’ actor and his spouse Jo Mas took five-year-old arty to a special Turtles lair at London skate park Bay Sixty6, where they got to watch skate prodigy Schaeffer Maclean in action, as well as try their hands at a number of different activities in honour of new TV series ‘ Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’.

Harvey Weinstein’s court hearing delayed

OHMYGOSSIP — Harvey Weinstein’s court hearing has been delayed until November.
The 66-year-old disgraced movie producer was due to face the Manhattan Supreme Court this week for rape and sexual assault charges, but the office of New You County District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. announced on Monday (17.09.18) morning that the hearing has been adjourned until November 8.
Defence attorney Benjamin Brafman said in a statement: “This is a consented to adjournment so both sides can complete their respective investigations.”
As of the time of writing, the exact reasons for the adjournment have not been revealed, however Deadline report the delay is intended to give Weinstein and Brafman time to respond to the District Attorney’s stern rejection of their attempt to have the case dismissed last month.
In their August 3 filing, Weinstein and Brafman entered emails from his rape accuser into evidence, in which she told him she loves him.
The documents show email exchanges between Weinstein and the unnamed woman over a course of several years, between April 2013 and February 2017, and include messages which seemingly state the accuser held affections for the producer.
In one email dated on September 11 2013, the woman writes “Miss you big guy,” followed by another email a few months later which reads: “You’re the one who makes it look good with your smile and beautiful eyes.”
A separate email sent on July 10 2014 reads: “There’s no one else I would enjoy catching up with that understands me quite like you.”
And in February last year, the accuser seemingly tells Weinstein she loves him in an email which stated: “I love you, always do. But I hate feeling like a booty call.”
Along with the filing of the emails as evidence, Weinstein and Brafman, were seeking to dismiss “the indictment because the District Attorney failed to provide the Grand Jury with exculpatory evidence of the long-term, consensual, intimate relationship between Mr. Weinstein and the alleged rape victim.”

Roseanne Barr: The Conners kills my character off with an overdose

OHMYGOSSIP — Roseanne Barr has claimed the ‘Roseanne’ spin-off show will kill off her character with an “overdose”.
The 65-year-old disgraced actress had her sitcom axed by US network ABC earlier this year after backlash over a racist tweet she posted, and following the controversy, the network announced they will be airing a spin-off show called ‘The Conners’ which will feature all the main cast except Rosanne.
And now, the star has claimed that her character will meet her end at the hands of an “opioid overdose”, which she says is “cruelly insulting” to the fans of the original program.
Speaking on Brandon Straka’s YouTube show ‘Walk Away’, Roseanne said: “Oh ya, they killed her. They have her die of an opioid overdose.
“There’s nothing I can do about it. It’s done. It’s over. [But it] so cruelly insults the people who loved that family in that show.”
Meanwhile, Roseanne recently claimed she had “walked away” from the show in order to do what was right for her co-stars, as she had concerns they would lose their jobs if a spin-off wasn’t produced.
She said: “I just have to be neutral and walk away. I did walk away, so people can keep their jobs.”
However, Roseanne slammed ABC last month when she claimed that the network would be “lucky” if ‘The Conners’ – which is set to air in October – is successful without her.
She said: “I’d tell more jokes about myself than I do anybody else, because to me, comedy is very personal, and that’s what makes it funny. That’s what made people like the ‘Roseanne’ show – because they saw themselves in [me], or have an aunt, or their mom or their sister, somebody in their family was, you know, a loud, outspoken woman who loved her family.
“That was what I brought to television and what kicked everybody’s a** in the ratings. [ABC] should be so lucky that they’ll ever get anywhere near that. And they can’t take that away from me, no matter what’s happened.”

Sean Penn is ‘suspicious’ of #MeToo

OHMYGOSSIP — Sean Penn is “suspicious” of the #MeToo movement as he believes it has “divided men and women”.
The 58-year-old actor has slammed the rise of the movement that was created in an effort to stop sexual harassment, as he believes the campaign has become “salacious”, and rather than bring people together to fight for a cause, he thinks it’s only served to separate men and women further.
Speaking during an appearance on ‘Today’ on Monday (17.09.18), Sean said: “This is a movement that was largely shouldered by a kind of receptacle of the salacious.
“We don’t know what’s a fact in many of the cases. Salacious is as soon as you call something a movement that is really a series of many individual accusers, victims, accusations, some of which are unfounded. The spirit of much of what has been the #MeToo movement is to divide men and women.
“I’m very suspicious of a movement that gets glommed onto in great stridency and rage and without nuance. And even when people try to discuss it in a nuanced way, the nuance is attacked.”
The ‘Mystic River’ actor also hit out at the movement for being “too black and white”, and added: “In most things that are very important, it’s really good to just slow down.”
Sean appeared on ‘Today’ alongside his ‘The First’ costar Natascha McElhone, and was asked if he believes the show – which follows astonauts in the race to become the first humans to visit Mars – was influenced by #MeToo because of the inclusion of several female astronauts and a female American president.
He said: “I’d like to think that none of it was influenced by what they call the movement of #MeToo. I think it’s influenced by the things that are developing in terms of the empowerment of women who’ve been acknowledging each other and being acknowledged by men.”

Asia Argento threatens Rose McGowan with legal action

OHMYGOSSIP — Asia Argento has threatened Rose McGowan with legal action for the alleged “horrendous lies” she told about her.
The 42-year-old actress was accused last month of having sexually assaulted a 17-year-old boy in 2013, and fellow actress Rose – who had become friends with Asia after they both accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct – later said she was “heartbroken” by the accusations.
Now, Asia has issued a statement to Rose via Twitter, claiming she has 24 hours to retract her previous comments, before the actress takes “immediate legal action”.
Her tweet read: “Dear @RoseMcGowan. It is with genuine regret that I am giving you 24 hours to retract and apologise for the horrendous lies made against me in your statement of August 27th. If you fail to address this libel I will have no option other than to take immediate legal action. (sic)”
In Rose’s statement, she urged the actress to be “honest and fair” following allegations that she had reached a $380,000 settlement with Jimmy Bennett at the end of last year, after he accused her of sexual assault.
The 45-year-old actress wrote: “Asia you were my friend. I loved you. You’ve spent and risked a lot to stand with the MeToo movement. I really hope you find your way through this process to rehabilitation and betterment. Anyone can be be better- I hope you can be, too. Do the right thing. Be honest. Be fair. Let justice stay its course. Be the person you wish Harvey could have been.”
Meanwhile, earlier this month, the former ‘Charmed’ star claimed she was “sick to her stomach” by the allegations against Asia, and said she felt “betrayed”.
She said: “It doesn’t really matter, my feelings in the face of Jimmy Bennett’s feelings are very insignificant. Personally, it’s been a hard year with a lot of betrayals. These last four years has been betrayals from every side, but this really isn’t about me.
“It is a horrible situation, I fundamentally do not understand people that are attracted to young people, of any sexual orientation … But there will be due process. And my heart’s racing, it makes me sick to my stomach, it hurts me deeply. But I believe the good part of it is that we’re realising boys get hurt too.”

Burt Reynolds’ will gives estate to niece

OHMYGOSSIP — Burt Reynolds’ will puts his niece Nancy Lee Brown Hess in charge of his estate.
The ‘Smokey and the Bandit’ actor tragically passed away earlier this month at the age of 82, and according to his will, it will be his niece that takes over his estate, rather than his son Quinton.
According to documents obtained by The Blast, the legendary actor’s will was filed in Florida on Monday (17.09.18), and was originally signed by the actor in October 2011.
In the document, the ‘Deliverance’ star names Nancy as the personal representative of the estate, which puts her in charge of all his possessions, which he placed into a trust.
Burt’s will also states that his son 30-year-old Quinton has been “omitted” from the document, because the star set up a separate trust for him “during his lifetime”, the details of which are not known.
The papers read: “I intentionally omit him from this, my Last Will and Testament, as I have provided for him during my lifetime in my Declaration of Trust.”
Burt passed away in hospital on September 6 after suffering a cardiac arrest, and it was recently revealed on his death certificate that his remains have already been cremated at Florida’s Gold Coast Crematory.
At the time, it was also reported that Nancy is in charge of his ashes.
Previously, his niece released a heartfelt statement in which she claimed the passing of her uncle had come as a shock to her family.
She said: “My uncle was not just a movie icon; he was a generous, passionate and sensitive man who was dedicated to his family, friends, fans and acting students
“He has had health issues, however, this was totally unexpected. He was tough. Anyone who breaks their tailbone on a river and finishes the movie is tough. And that’s who he was. My uncle was looking forward to working with Quentin Tarantino (in ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’) and the amazing cast that was assembled.”
