Jennifer Coolidge makes shocking confession – reveals what happened after she acted in America Pie

0

Actress Jennifer Coolidge earned two Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe for her role as the unhinged heiress on White Lotus, but it was her performance as the leggy blonde mom in the hilariously awkward teen sex comedy American Pie that yielded some surprising benefits.

In a candid interview, Coolidge revealed that landing the iconic character in American Pie opened up unique opportunities. The role, which became a cultural touchstone, not only boosted her career but also resonated with audiences in ways she hadn’t anticipated.

Then 38-year-old Jennifer Coolidge made the hearts of young men race as Steve Stifler’s mom.

After gaining fame as the most iconic MILF, Coolidge reprised her role in three further films within the American Pie franchise and became a mainstream sex symbol who was worshipped by men everywhere.

“People that I could never get in the door,” she told Variety, “all of a sudden they’re asking me to be part of their things.”

Finally, after playing ditzy blondes for years, Coolidge had the chance to elevate her career by starring in the HBO hit series White Lotus.

She won several awards, including her first Golden Globe, for her performance as the self-absorbed Tanya McQuoid, one of the few characters to appear in both the 2021 and 2022 seasons.

Her character, however, which was much loved, was killed off at the end of the last season.

“I’m jealous of everyone that’s going. I just want to stress I’m not a good sport about it, but there’s nothing I can do,” she told Today.

“When they kill you, you have to accept it,” she continued. “Because it means they’re not calling for your costume sizes or anything. It’s over! I have to get another thing. I have to make another thing happen, I guess.”

In a 2022 interview with Variety, Coolidge made a shocking admission. 

“I got a lot of play at being a MILF, and I got a lot of sexual action from American Pie,” she shared. “There were so many benefits to doing that movie. I mean, there would be like 200 people that I would’ve never have slept with.”

She added: “Maybe I got this special attention because people saw me as Stifler’s mom or the Legally Blonde woman.”

Later, she said her comment was merely an exaggeration. 

“God, you really can’t make jokes in our town, because I did make the terrible mistake of saying, ‘Thank God for that movie, I got to sleep with 200 men,’ or whatever. And look, I would love to say that was true, but I mean, that was sort of an exaggeration — so I’m glad you’re asking me,” Coolidge told Ariana Grande while being interviewed for Entertainment Weekly’s 2022 Entertainers of the Year. 

However, while she didn’t really sleep with that many men, her love life did got spiced up. 

“But it did sort of open up the world to a much broader group of handsome men — and younger men. This one guy was particularly young — legal, of course, it was all very legal — but it was funny because we had to… The one moment was a little bit awkward because he…” started to reveal more, but Grande interrupted her.

“No, I won’t get into the details,” shared Coolidge. “But afterwards, the next morning, I told him I needed to get a blow dry. So he was so young, we called his mother to see where I could get a blow dry. It was so weird that happened on the phone, it was very clear that we were in the bed together.”

0

Richard Simmons, renowned for inspiring overweight individuals to get active and adopt healthier eating habits, passed away on Saturday.

Simmons, famous for his vibrant tank tops and short shorts, brought boundless energy to television as the lively court jester of physical fitness. He turned 76 on Friday.

According to an email from Richard Simmons’ publicist Tom Estey to The Associated Press, the fitness guru passed away at his Los Angeles home. “We lost an Angel today – a true Angel,” Estey said.

A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that officers responded to a 911 call from Richard Simmons’ home on Belfast Drive and arrived at 9:57 a.m. on Saturday.

“Upon arrival, one rescue ambulance discovered a 76-year-old male who was pronounced deceased on-scene by firefighter/paramedics due to apparent natural causes.

“As a result, no hospital transport was necessary,”  LAFD Captain Erik Scott said.

Just two days before his passing, Richard contemplated his aspirations for his legacy.

“I never thought of myself as a celebrity. People don’t know this – I’m really a shy person and a little bit of an introvert,” he told People.

“But when that curtain goes up that’s a different story. I’m there to make people happy.

“But the accolades I get from emails. I mean, today most probably, we’ll answer over 100 emails.

“And they’ll say, ‘I’m your No1 fan’, and I just write back, and I say, you know, ‘Don’t say that because I’m a human being just like you. And I know that you do good things, too.’”

Simmons’ brother, Lenny Simmons, confirmed the death in a statement.

“I don’t want people to be sad about my brother,” Lenny Simmons said. “I want them to remember him for the genuine joy and love he brought to people’s lives.”

“We are in shock,” Lenny added. “Please respect the family at this difficult time.”Tom Estey, Simmons’ longtime publicist, said in a statement, “Today the World lost an Angel.”

A day before his sudden passing, Simmons celebrated his 76th birthday and took to the social media to thank everyone for the birthday wishes.

“Thank you…I never got so many messages about my birthday in my life!” Simmons wrote. “I am sitting here writing emails. Have a most beautiful rest of your Friday.”

He signed the post “Love, Richard.”

Simmons, who grew up in New Orleans, battled weight issues from a young age, tipping the scales at nearly 200 pounds by age 15. By the time he graduated from high school, he weighed 268 pounds, as documented on his website.

From 1980 to 1984, he hosted the Richard Simmons Show that focused on personal health and fitness.

He also gained fame through his aerobic exercise videos, such as 1988’s Sweatin’ to the Oldies and its sequels in 1990 and 1991.

Simmons expanded his early success with frequent appearances on various TV shows, ranging from The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson to game shows like Match Game and The New Hollywood Squares. He became a staple of late-night television during the ’90s and 2000s, appearing on shows hosted by Jay Leno and David Letterman.

Throughout the years, Simmons sold millions of workout videos. He owned a Beverly Hills exercise studio and restaurant frequented by celebrities like Barbra Streisand and Paul Newman.

Following his recent withdrawal from public life, during which he disclosed a skin illness in March 2024, speculation about Simmons’ health and well-being had circulated. His death was initially reported by TMZ.

We are so very sorry for this loss. May he rest in peace.

Man buys photo for $2 at garage sale – looks closer and discovers it’s worth millions

0

They say that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, and this saying has proven to be true many times.

There are plenty of stories of people who have stumbled upon items that seemed worthless at first sight but turned out to be more valuable than anyone ever anticipated.

When a man named Randy Guijarro purchased an old box with photos for $2, he never assumed that one of the photos would turn out to be an extremely rare find.

The photos were very old, lacking color and taken years ago, simply relatively ordinary memories.

The only reason Randy decided to buy that box was because he found the photos inside rather cool and unique.

Once home, he began to flick through the photos and that’s when he noticed what appeared to be a familiar face, that of Billy the Kid, known as one of the Wild West’s most notorious outlaws. 

Billy the Kid, whose real name was William H. Bonney, was killed in 1881 at the age of 23, after living a life as a fugitive.

Besides being a rather incredible piece of history, Randy’s find was also valuable.

According to reports, this particular photo from the box he only spent $2 on was sold for astonishing $5 million.

Johnny Depp has a new woman in his life – ‘they’ve known each other for a few years’

0

The media scrutiny on Johnny Depp in recent years has been far from favorable. His legal dispute with ex Amber Heard attracted global attention. The issue arose when Depp sued Heard for $50 million in a defamation case, triggered by her March 2019 op-ed in the Washington Post, in which she recounted her experience with domestic violence.

Depp won the defamation case but the jury held him accountable for statements made by his lawyer, Adam Waldman, who had called Heard’s allegations a ‘hoax.’

Heard was awarded $2 million and she has stayed out of the spotlight for the last couple of years.

Depp also stayed out of the public eye before he appeared at the Cannes Film Festival in 2023 where he received a 7-minute-long standing ovation for his film Jeanne Du Barry.

During the ongoing court case, Depp was rumored to be dating his lawyer, Joelle Rich, but the relationship was never confirmed.

According to a source close to the former couple, “[Heard] is focused on motherhood and her daughter. She is happy and feels comfortable in Spain. She is glad to be settled and is moving forward with her life. She doesn’t want to deal with any drama surrounding Johnny or the trial anymore.”

That same source claimed the same for Depp, saying he is “very happy to move on with his life and feels redemption. He feels grateful to his true fans and knows who they are. He is prioritizing his career and work.”

Recently, media outlets reported that The Pirates of the Caribbean star is enjoying ‘casual’ romance with a new partner, 29-year-old model Yulia Vlasova.

A source told People that they don’t use the “boyfriend-girlfriend” labels yet but “They see each other here and there.”

In Instagram photos shared and published by The Daily Mail, some of which have since been deleted from the platform, Depp and Vlasova can be seen cozying up to each other.

Vlasova is a beautician and model from provincial Russia, namely Sortirovka in Yekaterinburg.

Sources claim the two “have known each other for a few years and see each other when they can.”

The beautiful Russian and Depp allegedly met in Prague, where she owns a makeup and hairstyling studio, when he attended the 55th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in August 2021.

By July of the following year, they had grown close, with her being seen not only spending time with Depp but also with his friend, the late musician Jeff Beck, who died in 2023. 

Vlasova is just a few years older than Depp’s daughter.

Ingrid Andress performs unforgettable rendition of the national anthem at MLB Home Run Derby

0

Grammy-nominated singer Ingrid Andress performed The Star Spangled Banner at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, and left people puzzled about what went wrong. While she began with a fairly traditional approach to the opening lines, it soon became clear that her execution of the song did not match her usual standards as she started missing notes and drawing visible reactions from the players on hand.

During ESPN’s broadcast of the performance, Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm, 27, was seen stifling a smile, looking down at his shoes with a wry grin on his face while holding his hat to his heart.

Andress’ performance of the national anthem was dubbed the worst ever by the public, who draw comparisons to other widely criticized performances, particularly Fergie’s similarly mocked rendition from the 2018 NBA All-Star Game. “I think we all owe Fergie an apology,” someone commented under the video of Andress’ performance.

“Made fergie sound like whitney houston,” another person added.

“Worst National Anthem I’ve ever heard. Just disrespectful asf,” a third commented.

“I hope Ingrid Andress stays off of social media for a minute,” someone else shared their thoughts.

“I’m so sorry, I’m sure Ingrid Andress is a wonderful person, but that was one of the worst national anthems I think I’ve ever heard in my whole life,” a person wrote.

Following the backlash she faced, Andress took to the social media to confess she was intoxicated during the performance. 

“I’m not going to bulls**t y’all, I was drunk last night.

“I’m checking myself into a facility today to get the help I need,” she wrote. “That was not me last night. I apologize to MLB, all the fans and this country I love so much for that rendition.”

She ended the post writing she would “let y’all know how rehab is I hear it’s super fun. xo, Ingrid.”

Fellow singers left messages of sympathy in the comments on Andress’ social media account. 

“Love you girl. I’m sorry you’re going through this And I’m sorry the world can be so cruel. Here for you xx” singer Julia Michaels wrote.

“I’m sending you love, Ingrid. Being this open takes a lot. You’ve got this. Hang in there,” fellow country star Carly Pearce commented.

Singer and actress Kristen Chenoweth also shared her support, “You are doing what you need to do. A proud moment.”

Shannen Doherty finalized her divorce to ex-husband Kurt Iswarienko a day before her death

0

Shannen Doherty and ex-husband Kurt Iswarienko settled their divorce one day prior to the Charmed star’s passing.

Multiple media outlets have stated that paperwork was filed on July 12, indicating they agreed to a “default or uncontested dissolution” of their marriage, implying they resolved their divorce matters outside of court.

According to People, the document stated: “The parties have entered into a written agreement regarding their property and their marriage or domestic partnership rights, including support, the original of which is being or has been submitted to the court.”

Doherty also signed paperwork relinquishing her right to spousal support.

“I knowingly give up forever any right to receive spousal or partner support,” she wrote.

Iswarienko signed the papers on July 13, a day before Doherty lost her battle to cancer.

The Beverly Hills 90210 star filed for divorce from Iswarienko in April 2023, 11 years after they tied the knot.

According to her representative, Leslie Sloane, divorce was the “last thing” Doherty wanted but “she felt she was left with no other option.”

The actress’s request for spousal support sparked a contentious divorce battle.

In June 2024, Doherty claimed that Iswarienko was prolonging the process and deliberately delaying settlement, allegedly in the hope that she would pass away from cancer before the divorce proceedings concluded.

“It is simply not right that Kurt be permitted to prolong our divorce in hopes that I die before he is required to pay me while he continues to live his life and shirk his responsibilities to his dying wife of more than 11 years,” she stated in the documents.

Iswarienko’s lawyer disputed Doherty’s claim, stating that a settlement offer was presented in October 2023, which Doherty allegedly rejected.

“Kurt is not ‘simply wait[ing] for Shannen to die,’” his lawyer Katherine Heersema stated. “He wants the best for Shannen and he wants both of them to be able to put this case behind them and move forward.”

Doherty and Iswarienko exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony in Malibu in October 2011. Their wedding was featured on the season finale of their WEtv reality series, Shannen Says, which documented their wedding preparations. This marked the third marriage for Doherty, following brief marriages to actor Ashley Hamilton from 1993 to 1994 and poker player Rick Salomon from 2002 to 2003.

The significance behind Kate Middleton’s Wimbledon dress has been revealed by an expert

0

On Sunday, Kate Middleton made her second public appearance following the stir caused by her planned abdominal surgery and her absence from the public for over six months.

The Princess of Wales attended the Wimbledon final between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic.

“It was quite a surprise to see her at the Wimbledon final, and we know that the Princess is a huge fan of tennis,” Royal expert Katie Nicholl said to the media about Kate’s attendance. “Since 2016 she’s been patron of the Lawn Tennis Association. She’s been at every Wimbledon, so I think we all hoped that we would see her there,” she added.

When she arrived at the event, Kate received a standing ovation as she made her way to the Royal Box at Centre Court to watch the match.

Kate attended the match together with her daughter, Princess Charlotte, and her sister, Pippa Middleton.

“When she turned up, the crowd showed their appreciation with the standing ovation, which went on for quite a while actually, and the Princess [was] very, very touched by that,” Nicholl shared. “I think she looked quite overwhelmed by the moment, absolutely delighted to be there.”

“She is a great tennis player. She’s a huge fan of the game, and clearly Princess Charlotte has the tennis bug, too, something that runs in the Middleton family. So I think, for Kate to have not gone, and would have been a great shame for royal fans, for tennis fans and for the Princess herself,” she says. “This was an important event for her.”

Kate’s outfit caught the attention of the public. She opted for a gorgeous purple dress by Safiyaa and a bow-tie pin that represented her role. The pin displayed purple and dark green, the club’s official colors.

According to Nicholl, Kate chose this looks “because the colors of Wimbledon are green and purple, so that that color of dress was a very deliberate choice, and I think she looked incredibly well and very happy to be there.”

Despite Kate’s usual attendance at Wimbledon, she was absent for the majority of the competition due to her current treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer.

Kate made her first public appearance since she had disclosed her cancer condition with the public at King Charles’ official birthday, the Trooping of Colour.

“She explained that she has good days, and she has bad days, and we know from the palace that when they announce that she’s going to attend an engagement, it’s always with the caveat that if she’s not feeling well on the day she may have to pull out of something at the 11th hour,” royal expert Nicholl said of Kate. “Fortunately that wasn’t the case, and she was able to attend the finals for Wimbledon.”

“I think when we look at the Princess, we see her looking as well as she did, smiling, healthy, radiant, and we can assume that she’s now tolerating this chemotherapy far better than she was in the early stages and that she’s doing well at the moment,” she continued. 

Shutterstock

Nicholl suggests that while the Princess’ appearance at Wimbledon was significant, it is ‘unlikely’ that she will make any further appearances.

“I was told there were two key engagements that she wanted to make: Trooping the Colour, and Wimbledon, both of which she was able to attend,” the royal expert said. “I was speaking to a source at the palace earlier, who have confirmed that [the children] are on summer recess and they will now just stay away from the public gaze. They will hunker down as a family, more likely than not at Norfolk and Mahal, their countryside bolt hole, and the Princess is not able to travel at the moment while she’s undergoing this course of preventative chemotherapy. So I think that probably rules out an overseas holiday.”

Shutterstock

“I think it’s likely that we will see the family go to Scotland at the invitation of the King and Queen later this summer in August. But I think it’s going to be low-key and very much below the radar, so I don’t think we can expect to see the Princess of Wales for some time now.”

Seeing Kate Middleton in public is always a delight.

When a man named John lost both his parents, he was on the brink of despair. During those times of grief, he found comfort in the little pup he adopted, Cookie.

He and his four-legged companion created a bond so strong no one could be able to break. Unfortunately, John was left without Cookie and found himself at the center of a conflict between love and loyalty.

When John met Lauren, who became his girlfriend, he was open about his special connection with Cookie. However, as their relationship developed and they started talking moving in together, tensions emerged. Lauren raised concerns about including Cookie in their future plans, which led to heated arguments and disagreements between them.

John made sure Lauren understood how much Cookie meant to him, but still, she wasn’t willing of even considering making a compromise. Things went for the worse when Lauren took drastic measures, removing Cookie from their shared home and taking him to a local shelter without John’s knowledge.

The betrayal left John devastated, forcing him to confront the painful reality that Lauren could not understand the depth of his bond with Cookie. For John, Cookie was more than just a pet; he was family, a symbol of resilience and healing after the loss of his parents.

In the wake of Lauren’s actions, John faced a difficult decision: to prioritize his relationship with Lauren or to stand by his beloved companion, Cookie. Ultimately, John chose loyalty over compromise, reaffirming his commitment to the dog who had supported him through his darkest days.

As John navigates the aftermath of this emotional ordeal, he remains steadfast in his belief that Cookie is more than just a pet; he is a cherished family member and a source of unwavering love and support.
