Robert De Niro made headlines in May when it was revealed the 79-year-old actorhad become a dad for a seventh time — only for fans to find out weeks later that his fellow Godfather saga star, Al Pacino, is expecting at 83.
“What a guy,” De Niro told People on Wednesday while promoting his upcoming Tribeca Festival. “Go Al, God bless him,” he added.
As confirmed by ABC Audio, Pacino is expecting his fourth child, his first with his 29-year-old girlfriend, Noor Alfallah.
Incidentally, ABC Audio was slated to speak with De Niro Wednesday, as well, only for the icon to pull out at the last minute — with a staffer explaining he had to feed Gia, his new baby with girlfriend Tiffany Chen.
Tallulah Willis is opening up about her health and life with her father, Bruce Willis.
In a moving essay she wrote for Vogue, the actress, 29, revealed that she was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder last June.
The National Institute of Mental Health says that the mental illness, “severely impacts a person’s ability to manage their emotions” and can, “affect how a person feels about themselves, and negatively impact their relationship with others.”
Willis, who said she was diagnosed with ADHD when she was 15, said that the BPD diagnosis came while she was at Driftwood Recovery, a rehabilitation center in Texas.
In her essay, Willis, who is the daughter of actor Bruce Willis and actress Demi Moore, said she had experienced depression since she was a pre-teen, triggered by reading comments online that criticized her looks.
“I told no one. I just lived with the silent certainty of my own ugliness,” Tallulah confesses.
The actress said it wasn’t until she was 20 when she sought psychiatric treatment and therapy. Five years later, she was admitted to a residential treatment facility in Malibu for depression.
“For the first time, I grieved the 15-year-old misfit me, the ugly duckling,” said Willis, who also added she has suffered from anorexia nervosa.
Since she was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, the actress said, “recovery is probably lifelong, but I now have the tools to be present in all facets of my life, and especially in my relationship with my dad.”
While struggling, Tallulah said she “was too sick to handle” her father’s news about his declining health. In 2022, Bruce Willis was diagnosed with the degenerative brain condition aphasia. In February, he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.
These days, Tallulah said she feels that she is able to bring her dad “an energy that is bright and sunny, no matter where I’ve been.”

Former Bachelorette star Andi Dorfman has given out her final rose and officially said “I do” to her fiancé Blaine Hart in a breathtaking three-day celebration in Sorrento, Italy.
Speaking with People, Dorfman couldn’t contain her happiness as she shared her feelings about marrying the love of her life.
“Getting to spend my life with Blaine and being in love with him as much as I am is something that’s like a dream come true to me,” she gushed.
With 75 of their nearest and dearest gathered at the Conca del Sogno Beach Club, the bride and groom poured their hearts out, exchanging heartfelt handwritten vows.
In March 2022, Dorfman shared news of her engagement on Instagram, along with a sweet picture of the couple smooching on the beach.
“WORTH THE WAIT!!!!” she wrote in all caps, along with the ring emoji.
Dorfman gained notoriety after appearing on Juan Pablo Galavis‘ season of The Bachelor in 2014. She then went on to become the lead for season 10 of The Bachelorette, where she got engaged to winner Josh Murray. They announced their split in 2015.
Embattled actor Armie Hammer will not face criminal charges in connection with an investigation for sexual assault in Los Angeles County, prosecutors said Wednesday.
The Los Angeles district attorney cited a lack of evidence.
In a video news conference on March 18, 2021, a woman said that in April 2017 Hammer raped her for four hours, physically assaulted her and committed other violent acts against her.
Hammer denied the accusations.
Regarding Wednesday’s decision, Tiffiny Blacknell, director of the Bureau of Communications for the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office, noted, “Sexual assault cases are often difficult to prove, which is why we assign our most experienced prosecutors to review them. In this case, those prosecutors conducted an extremely thorough review, but determined that at this time, there is insufficient evidence to charge Mr. Hammer with a crime.”
The statement continued, “As prosecutors, we have an ethical responsibility to only charge cases that we can prove beyond a reasonable doubt. We know that it is hard for women to report sexual assault. Even when we cannot move forward with a prosecution, our victim service representatives will be available to those who seek our victim support services.”
It concluded, “Due to the complexity of the relationship and inability to prove a non-consensual, forcible sexual encounter we are unable to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.”
Hammer’s career was derailed in January 2021 when his ex-girlfriend Paige Lorenze released unverified DMs that allegedly came from Hammer and claimed the actor harbored fantasies involving cannibalism. In addition, the 22-year-old alleged Hammer was “obsessed” with the idea of “taking a piece of me…and consuming it.”
The accusations in this case also came to light that year.
Hammer’s attorneys have claimed all of his relationships have been consensual.
Having famously said “The answer was always no and a respectful, firm, no” regarding a return to the role of Samantha Jones that made her a Sex and the City icon, ABC News has confirmed that Kim Cattrall will be seen in the upcoming season of the sequel series And Just Like That… .
The character has been spoken of, and spoken and texted to, by Sarah Jessica Parker‘s Carrie Bradshaw on the Max series, which ended its first season with Carrie calling her one-time bestie ahead of a visit to bury the hatchet.
Sources say Cattrall’s reappearance took even crew members by surprise: She wasn’t mentioned on the call sheet and arrived under similarly hush-hush conditions to shoot, suggesting her appearance could be part of a cliff-hanger to bait season 2 viewers into watching a season 3.
Officially, Max — the newly rebranded streamer on which the second season will air — is mum.
Much has been made of a feud between SJP and Cattrall over the years since a deal for a third film fell apart.
Kim didn’t hesitate to put the blame on Parker’s side of the fence, tellingPiers Morgan in 2017 she’s “never been friends” with Parker and the rest of her onscreen girl squad, adding of Parker, “She could have been nicer.”
Parker, for her part, denied any kind of a “catfight” between them back in 2018 to Page Six.
A Los Angeles jury has found former That ’70s Show actor Danny Masterson guilty of two counts of forcible rape in a retrial of a case involving three women.
The third count involving Jane Doe 3 has been declared a mistrial.
The jury reached its verdict Wednesday afternoon after deliberating since May 17.
Masterson, 47, pleaded not guilty to three counts of felony rape following accusations by three different women, including a former girlfriend. The alleged attacks took place between 2001 and 2003.
He faced 45 years to life in prison if convicted on all three charges.
The first trial ended in a mistrial in November 2022, with the jury deadlocked and unable to reach a verdict.
The three alleged victims were members of the Church of Scientology, as is Masterson. All three women said they were initially hesitant to speak to law enforcement because church teachings discouraged reporting to police. The women eventually left the church.
Masterson, who was arrested in 2020, said each of the encounters was consensual. That ’70s Show was still on the air at the time of all three alleged rapes.
In a lengthy new interview with Esquire, Harrison Ford delves into well-known territory — how he got his role as Han Solo in Star Wars, for example — and deeper stuff, like what kind of a dad he thinks he is and how he’d like to be remembered.
Ford, who will turn 81 on July 13 — a couple of weeks after his final Indiana Jones movie hits theaters — is famously guarded, but shares some interesting tidbits about his life.
Like how his friend Jimmy Buffett helped snag him a boat to live on off the coast of Belize while filming 1986’s The Mosquito Coast.
Or his response to a “disappointed” Elton John when he told his fellow icon he would never write an autobiography. “I said, ‘I didn’t want to tell the truth … But I didn’t want to lie, either.'”
A pilot for 28 years, Ford enthused about aviation: “I will not be buried under a stone that says ‘actor’. For me, flying is as important a part of my life as my business. It’s not like playing golf.”
With shades of his role on Apple TV+’s Shrinking as a therapist whose daughter moves away because her parents are too busy, Ford admits, “I can tell you this: If I’d been less successful, I’d probably be a better parent.”
Ford says he “owns” his flaws, adding, “And certainly the more constant gardener is the better parent, and I’ve been out of town, up my own a** for most of my life.”
Ford is a father of five: Benjamin, 56, and Willard, 54, from his marriage to ex-wife Mary Marquardt; Malcolm, 35, and Georgia, 32, from his marriage to the late E.T. screenwriter Melissa Mathison; and Liam Flockhart Ford, 21, the adopted son of his wife, Calista Flockhart.
Neill in ‘Jurassic Park’ – Murray Close/Sygma/Sygma via Getty Images
Sam Neill, the actor beloved for his role as paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant in the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World films, is digging into his archives for a good cause.
Going on the block are the aforementioned Timberland boots, estimated to fetch anywhere from $6,000 to $12,000. “These boots were made for kicking dinosaurs, in the words of the old song. And indeed they did, in the first Jurassic Park. I ran for miles in them,” Neill comments.
The shirt could fetch between $4,000 and $8,000, while Grant’s handkerchief, which he wore around his neck onscreen, is estimated to sell for $2,000 to $4,000. However, in any Hollywood memorabilia auction, these and other items often sell for more than they’re estimated when the hammer finally falls.
Neill explains, “These items are utterly unique, possibly even iconic if you’re a fan. Most importantly, the full proceeds will go towards helping support refugee children through the vital and incredible work of UNICEF UK.”
Neill’s charitable contributions aside, the auction will feature a treasure trove of other props, wardrobe pieces, scripts, and signage from iconic films like Alien and Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope, to newer classics like 300 and 3:10 to Yuma.
(NOTE LANGUAGE) In a wide-ranging interview with GQ,Ryan Gosling talks about his career, his family life and the hype around playing Ken in Barbie.
The 42-year-old actor says of the famously insignificant other to the titular doll, “Ken, his job is beach.”
He adds, “For 60 years, his job has been beach. What the f*** does that even mean?”
Still, the dad to two doll-playing daughters with Eva Mendes brought some real-world experience to the role. “I did see him [a Ken], like, face down in the mud outside one day, next to a squished lemon,” the actor recalls, “and it was like, this guy’s story does need to be told, you know?”
Gosling said he “touched base” with his kid performer self to bring the plastic himbo to life. “There’s something about this Ken that really, I think, relates to that version of myself,” he admits.
“Just, like, the guy that was putting on [MC] Hammer pants and dancing at the mall and smelling like Drakkar Noir and Aqua Net-ing bangs. I owe that kid a lot.”
Like Ken, The New Mickey Mouse Club version of Gosling “didn’t know what he was doing or why he was doing it, he was just doing it.”
He also says it’s “funny” that online snarkers complained of his casting. “This kind of clutching-your-pearls idea of, like, #notmyken. Like you ever thought about Ken before this?” he asks.
“But suddenly, it’s like, ‘No, we’ve cared about Ken this whole time.’ No, you didn’t. You never did … If you ever really cared about Ken, you would know that nobody cared about Ken. So your hypocrisy is exposed.”
