If you’ve been feeling the pain of being separated from your friends during the pandemic, Kate Winslet is right there with you.

In a new interview with The Guardian, the actress says she recently reunited with her Titanic and Revolutionary Road co-star Leonardo DiCaprio for the first time in three years — and it was an emotional moment for the two old pals.

“I couldn’t stop crying,” she says. “I’ve known him for half my life!”

The Mare of Easttown star adds that because Leo’s been in New York and she’s been in London, they hadn’t had a chance to get together and catch up.

“We haven’t been able to leave our countries,” she says. “Like so many friendships globally, we’ve missed each other because of COVID. He’s my friend, my really close friend. We’re bonded for life.”

A fourth person has accused Chris Noth of sexual misconduct.

Singer-songwriter Lisa Gentile went public with her allegations during a Thursday press conference with her lawyer, Gloria Allred. She says she was “sexually victimized” by the Sex and the City actor in 2002.

According to Gentile, Noth forcibly kissed her and touched her breasts, then later threatened to “blacklist” her from the business if she ever told anyone.

“I believe we should have our day in court to hold Mr. Noth accountable for what he did,” Gentile said, referencing the three other women who have come forward.

Noth denied the previous allegations but has yet to comment on Gentile’s claims. Since the allegations emerged, Noth has been dropped by his talent agency and was fired from his CBS show, The Equalizer.

Olympic gold medalist Tom Daley can’t wait to celebrate Christmas with his husband, screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, and their three-year-old son, Robert. Tom tells ABC Audio that his toddler is now “fully into Christmas” — so much so that red and green are his favorite colors.

“We have to have red and green things, because as soon as Christmas is over, he said, ‘When is it Christmas again? How many more sleeps till Christmas?'” the diver shared. “And he says that right after his birthday every year. And his birthday’s the end of June!”

That said, Tom doesn’t feel Robert sets an impossible standard for him or Lance to reach on the big day, adding that he simply enjoys having “everybody around” and “the decorations.”  Tom says he uses Pinterest to give him inspiration for “Christmas decorations and for craft ideas” to entertain his son, like making cards.

As for this year’s plans, the athlete is heading home for the holidays to Plymouth, England, where he grew up.  “Lance has never spent Christmas in Plymouth,” he revealed.  “So, it’s going to be fun.”

“Usually we always host it. So it will be weird to not host Christmas and it’ll be a little bit like taking a back seat,” Tom added, but notes that he thinks it’s going to be “nice to have a bit of a more relaxed Christmas.”

But while he’s been relieved of cooking and cleaning duties, the Olympian said he still has to take care of his son’s Elf on a Shelf.

Tom, who made headlines during the Tokyo Olympics for knitting in between events, admits he uses his knitting skills to create outfits for the Elf.  “It’s got clothes and occasionally ends up taking over papa’s knitting in the morning,” says Tom. “We’ve caught him a couple of times knitting at the table!”

Revered journalist and author Joan Didion died Thursday at her home in New York City due to complications from Parkinson’s disease, her longtime publisher confirmed to ABC News.

She was 87 years old.

Didion was known as one of most incisive writers of her time, penning screenplays, novels and works of nonfiction, including two books about her own personal losses: The Year of Magical Thinking and Blue Nights.

“Joan was a brilliant observer and listener, a wise and subtle teller of truths about our present and future. She was fierce and fearless in her reporting. Her writing is timeless and powerful, and her prose has influenced millions,” her editor, Shelley Wanger, said in a statement.

Wanger added, “We will mourn her death but celebrate her life, knowing that her work will inspire generations of readers and writers to come.”

Born in Sacramento, Didion was a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, and went on to live in New York City, where she launched her career as a journalist. Her first book, Run River, was published in 1963; other novels included A Book of Common Prayer, Democracy and The Last Thing He Wanted.

The next year, Didion married fellow writer John Gregory Dunne, who became her longtime collaborator. Together, they worked on screenplays for The Panic in Needle Park, Play It As It Lays — based on her novel of the same name — and A Star Is Born, among others. In 1967, they adopted their daughter, Quintana Roo.

Didion was also known for being a prolific essayist who published several works of nonfiction, including Slouching Towards Bethlehem and The White Album, among many others. However, it was her memoir about Dunne’s death, The Year of Magical Thinking, that earned her the National Book Award for Fiction in 2005.

After Quintana Roo died of acute pancreatitis, Didion wrote a companion book, Blue Nights, which was published in 2011. Her latest book, Let Me Tell You What I Mean, came out just this year.

Didion was a 2013 recipient of the National Medal of Arts and Humanities.
