As Bruce Willis’ devastating Fronto Temporal Dementia diagnosis advances in his brain, there are updates that will keep coming as bread crumbs that will devastate his fans little by little.

One of his great friends is showrunner and writer Glenn Gordon Caron. He isone of the people from the entertainment industry that has attempted to remain in the actor’s life and he recently spoke to the New York Post.

According to the times he has visited the actor, there is a part of Bruce Willis that no longer exists. It’s an aspect of his personality that perfectly described him amongst his friends or peers.

Bruce has always been a joyful person who enjoyed the experience of living to the fullest. That Bruce is gone, according to Caron.

Caron said: “He loved life and … just adored waking up every morning and trying to live life to its fullest. So the idea that he now sees life through a screen door, if you will, makes very little sense. He’s really an amazing guy. When you’re with him you know that he’s Bruce and you’re grateful that he’s there. But the joie de vivre is gone.”

There is currently no cure for Fronto Temporal Dementia but one can only hope science can catch up to a solution soon before it’s too late for people who suffer the same illness as Bruce.

The details of Ariana Grande’s multimillion-dollar divorce from Dalton Gomez have been revealed.

While the process had its share of disputes, they ultimately reached an amicable agreement.

A source close to the couple shared that Grande and Gomez wanted to handle their divorce with mutual respect, making it as painless as possible for each other.

After just two years of marriage, the couple officially filed for divorce in September, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

Their separation date was marked as February 20, leaving fans wondering about the reason behind their parting.

The divorce settlement includes several noteworthy aspects.

One key element is the substantial upfront payout that Gomez will receive from Grande, eliminating the need for monthly spousal support.

According to court documents, this payout amounts to a tax-free sum of $1,250,000. Grande also agreed to cover $25,000 of Gomez’s attorney fees.

During their marriage, Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez shared a Los Angeles residence.

Due to their decision to part ways, this property will be sold. The former couple will first settle their $6 million mortgage before sharing the profits equally.

An intriguing aspect of the settlement is the strict confidentiality clause.

Both Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez are prohibited from publishing any photographs, tapes, films, or recordings involving any aspect of their shared life.

Additionally, the court has barred them from writing tell-all books, participating in interviews, or contributing to any form of publication concerning their relationship.

These confidentiality provisions apply to both parties and are legally enforceable.

In the end, Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez have managed to part ways on amicable terms, ensuring privacy and financial settlement in a multimillion-dollar divorce that has garnered significant attention.

Pop sensation Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez have settled their divorce bringing an end to their marriage that began in May 2021, PEOPLE confirms.

The couple’s legal separation was officially confirmed on October 6, 2023, just a few weeks after they initiated the divorce process.

Per their agreement, the 30-year-old singer will provide a one-time, tax-free payment of $1,250,000 to Gomez, who is 28 years old. Additionally, Dalton will be entitled to fifty percent of the net proceeds resulting from the sale of their former residence in Los Angeles.

It’s worth noting that there will be no ongoing spousal support since his settlement is provided upfront rather than spread out over time. Ariana Grande has also agreed to cover Dalton’s attorney fees, up to a maximum of $25,000.

Interestingly, despite the recent divorce filing, the couple had separated six months earlier. Their official date of separation, as stated in their legal documents, is February 20, 2023.

The couple managed to keep their separation low-key for several months, even celebrating their second wedding anniversary in May when Ariana Grande posted a heartfelt tribute on her Instagram, featuring a photo from their wedding day with the caption “2 (3.5 together!!!) I love him so.”

Actor Julia Ormond has filed a lawsuit against Harvey Weinstein, claiming he sexually assaulted her in 1995 after a dinner in New York.

In addition to seeking damages from Weinstein, Ormond is also targeting Disney, Miramax, and her former talent agency for failing to protect her from abuse.

The case was filed in New York under a law that allows sexual assault cases to be filed outside the statute of limitations.

Weinstein is currently serving a 23-year prison sentence for rape.

Ormond, best known for her roles in films such as “Legends of the Fall,” “First Knight,” and “Sabrina,” claims that her career never fully recovered after the alleged assault. The lawsuit argues that Weinstein and Ormond returned to an apartment provided by the production company after a business dinner, where he allegedly “stripped naked and forced her to perform oral sex on him.” The suit further claims that Miramax and Disney should have properly supervised Weinstein and not retained him, given their knowledge of his predatory behavior.

The British actor is also suing her former talent agency, Creative Artists Agency (CAA), for allegedly failing to warn her about Weinstein’s abuse. According to Ormond, CAA even suggested that reporting Weinstein to the authorities would be futile and damaging to her career. The lawsuit states that shortly after Ormond reported the assault to CAA, the agency lost interest in representing her, resulting in a significant decline in her career prospects.

Ormond’s lawsuit emphasizes the profound personal and professional impact of the alleged assault and subsequent retaliation by the defendants. She claims to have nearly disappeared from the public eye since the incident. In a statement released through her lawyers, Ormond expressed gratitude to those who have spoken out about their experiences with Weinstein. She hopes that holding entities like CAA, Miramax, and Disney accountable will lead to increased protections in the workplace.

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages for lost wages, mental pain, anguish, and severe emotional distress. The BBC has reached out to Disney, Miramax, and CAA for comment. To date, over 80 individuals have come forward with rape and misconduct allegations against Weinstein, spanning several decades.

Julia Ormond’s lawsuit against Harvey Weinstein, Disney, Miramax, and CAA sheds light on the alleged abuse and misconduct prevalent in the entertainment industry. It highlights the long-lasting impact such incidents can have on a victim’s career and personal life. By seeking accountability and closure, Ormond hopes to contribute to the ongoing conversation surrounding workplace protections and the need for institutions to take responsibility for enabling abusive behavior.

A major Democratic donor close to Californian Governor Gavin Newsom – who will choose Feinstein’s replacement – told the Mail on Sunday: “Meghan is definitely a long shot but in the craziness that is US politics these days it’s not an impossibility. “Crazier things have happened.”

Previously, royal biographer Tom Bower told Express US that Meghan was trying to get into the political fold and it will show itself in the ‘a year or two.’

Moreover, Nick Bullen of True Royalty’s commentary also opined to Fox News Digital that it would be “fascinating” to see Meghan “make it to White House” amid the royal rift.

The London-born hitmaker, 35, praised her other half – sports agent Rich Paul, 44 – but admitted she is jealous of her friends seeking romance on dating apps.

As someone who has never tried the booming internet dating platforms herself, Adele revealed that she met Rich at a party in LA – nothing short of the ‘old-school’ way.

‘It makes me a little jealous. I never really did online dating because it became a thing after I became famous. I’m with the love of my life, I’m obsessed with him,” the Hello hitmaker said.

‘We met the old-fashioned way. But sometimes I wish I had had that online courtship,” she admitted.

Still, the pop sensation shared a funny anecdote with her audience, revealing that if she had tried dating online, she would definitely have spent hours perfecting her profile pictures.

The songwriter added mockingly, “How many times have I edited my photos to make it look like I’m not crazy?”

The Rolling In The Deep singer, who has written extensively about past romances in her songs, seems happier than ever in her relationship.

She recently sparked marriage speculation as she referred to herself as “wife” during her Las Vegas residency show.

The singer appeared to hint that she had tied the knot with Rich during a casual conversation with the audience.

Discussing the sports agent’s love for American football and her struggle to understand the rules, she said, “I’m not the best when it comes to football.”

It happened just weeks after Adele called Rich her “husband” while on stage after a fan proposed to the singer.

‘You can’t marry me. “I’m straight, honey, and my husband is here tonight,” Adele replied.

Four women have accused the actor Russell Brand of sexually assaulting them between 2006 and 2013, when he was at the height of his fame.

The comedian has been accused of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse. The shocking allegations were made in a joint investigation conducted by the Sunday Times, The Times and Channel 4’s Dispatches.

However, Brand has denied all the serious allegations made against them. In the statement, the actor said that all the relationships he had, ”were absolutely always consensual.”

In the video posted on his social media platforms, the actor said that he received an email and a letter from a mainstream TV company and a newspaper that listed several ”aggressive” acts that he “absolutely refutes,” as per THR.

“These allegations pertain to the time when I was working in the mainstream, when I was in the newspapers all the time, when I was in the movies, and as I’ve written about extensively in my books, I was very, very promiscuous,” Russel said in the video posted to his social media handles. “Now during that time of promiscuity, the relationships I had were absolutely always consensual. I was always transparent about that then — almost too transparent — and I’m being transparent about it now as well.”

”And to see that transparency metastasized into something criminal that I absolutely deny makes me question is there another agenda at play, particularly when we’ve seen coordinated media attacks before like with Joe Rogan, when he dared to take a medicine that the mainstream media didn’t approve of and we saw a spate of headlines from media outlets across the world using the same language. I’m aware that you guys have been saying in the comments for a while ‘Watch out, Russell, they’re coming for you, you’re getting too close to the truth. Russell Brand did not kill himself.”

The Sunday Times has claimed in its report that they gave Brand eight days to recall and respond to the allegations. However, when given more opportunities to respond, the actor posted a video publicly on his social media handles, rubbishing the allegations made against him.

Serious accusations

All the women who have accused Brand of serious allegations have chosen to remain anonymous.

The first woman has revealed that Brand raped her in his Los Angeles home against a wall on the same day she was treated at a rape crisis centre. In the investigation, the outlets have also found messages exchanged between the woman and Brand.

After leaving his house, the woman messaged him saying that she had been scared by him and felt taken advantage of, adding: “When a girl say[s] NO it means no.” Brand replied, saying he was “very sorry,” per Sunday Times.

The second woman alleges that Russell assaulted him when he was 31 and she was 16. In the report, she alleged that in the emotionally abusive relationship that lasted three months, the comedian used to call her “the child.”

She also revealed that Brand once “forced his penis down her throat”, making her choke. And to stop him, she had to punch him in the stomach.

The third woman said the Brand sexually assaulted her when she used to work with him in Los Angeles and even threatened to take legal action against her if she told anyone about it.

The fourth woman allegedly said that she was sexually assaulted by the actor and that he was physically and emotionally abusive towards her.

The report has been published on the Sunday Times website, hours before the Dispatches documentary titled Russell Brand – In Plain Sight, which will air on Channel 4.

Who is Russell Brand?

Known for his flamboyant style, Brand rose to stardom by hosting gigs and as a stand-up comedian. From Essex, England, the actor started his career as a comedian and later shifted to hosting, becoming an MTV presenter. He got his breakthrough in 2004 as the host of Big Brother’s Big Mouth. Years later, he started acting and got his first major acting role in St. Trinian’s.

He has appeared in numerous films, like Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Arthur, Get Him to The Greek, and many others.
