Virginia Madsen leads tributes to her brother Michael Madsen
Virginia Madsen has paid tribute to her brother Michael Madsen after his sudden death. The 67-year-old actor was pronounced dead at his Malibu home on Thursday (03.07.25) after being found unresponsive and his actress sibling Virginia, 63, remembered her brother in a touching statement. She said in a statement to Variety: 'My brother Michael has left the stage,' Virginia said. 'He was thunder and velvet. Mischief wrapped in tenderness. A poet disguised as an outlaw. A father, a son, a brother — etched in contradiction, tempered by love that left its mark.' 'We're not mourning a public figure. We're not mourning a myth - but flesh and blood and ferocious heart. Who stormed through life loud, brilliant, and half on fire. Who leaves us echoes - gruff, brilliant, unrepeatable - half legend, half lullaby. 'I'll miss our inside jokes, the sudden laughter, the sound of him. I'll miss the boy he was before the legend; I miss my big brother. 'Thank you to everyone reaching out with love and memory. In time, we'll share how we plan to celebrate his life - but for now, we stay close, and let the silence say what words can't.' Madsen's Kill Bill co-star Vivica A. Fox told the New York Post: 'I had the pleasure of working with Michael Madsen on Kill Bill several other films! Michael was a talented man with an AMAZING on screen presence! My deepest condolences prayers to his family.' His 'Reservoir Dogs' co-star Harvey Keitel added: 'We've lost another great American poet. Farewell, my dear friend. I'll never forget one of the best scenes I've ever seen on film — of you and Chris Penn fighting in 'Reservoir Dogs.' A great love scene. Give Chris a hug for me.' Chris Penn died in 2006 at age 40. James Woods wrote on X: 'Oh man, this is a hard one. Michael and I did The Getaway together. We did Straight Talk together. I was always touched by his sweet nature and generosity, the absolute opposite of the 'tough guys' he portrayed so brilliantly. Rest in Peace, dear friend.' And, Rob Schneider wrote, 'Michael Madsen was a dream to work with. A truly gifted actor gentleman who made every person on the set comfortable; generous with his stories with his infectious laughter. I only wish we could have done more things together in this crazy business. My love to his kids friends.'

Annabelle Dexter-Jones and Daniel Humm marry in star-studded New York City wedding
Annabelle Dexter-Jones and Daniel Humm are married. The Succession star and the Michelin-star winning chef - who was previously romantically linked to Demi Moore - tied the knot on Saturday (28.06.25) in a star-studded ceremony. Gabriela Hearst designed Annabelle's white gown and Daniel's suit for their big day. Daniel wrote on Instagram: "I don't know where to even begin but this past weekend I got to marry my soulmate @princesssummerfall and my best friend @gabrielahearst and her incredible team created this poetic dress that shares the same beauty of Annabelle, a beauty that seems to be from a different time. "Gabi, we love you so much and we're so grateful. Also thank you to @vanityfair for this story. @david_needleman" According to the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column, Annabelle's step-brother, music producer Mark Ronson, played Foreigner's I Want To Know What Love Is at the event, which was held at Daniels's New York City restaurant Eleven Madison Park. The hit song was written by Annabelle's father, Foreigner guitarist Mick Jones. Italian artist Francesco Clemente, who is pals with the couple, officiated the ceremony, and author Fran Lebowitz was a witness. Gabriela described the pair's relationship as a "true New York City love story", and praised the American Horror Story: Delicate actress as the "definition of timeless beauty". She wrote: "On Saturday my best friend @danielhumm got married to the most incredible partner that he can have. Destiny had a hand in this meeting. They had never met before even if they have so many close friends in common till last year. "I was there when they met, I saw the magic happen in front of my eyes. The dress was meant to be as well. "When Annabelle @princesssummerfall showed me her reference, I said we got this! It was a sketch I did two years ago, when designing the collection of the surrealist Leonora Carrington. "I saw a bride in a vision with this veil with pearls and our swirl embroidery. It was a vision of the future as she is herself a vision. "Annabelle is the definition of timeless beauty, wit paired with an immense heart. Nothing felt more inspiring than being the family seamstress to dress them all, bride, groom, mother of the bride, adorable daughters of the groom. This is a true New York Love Story! (sic)" Daniel confirmed in February he and Annabelle had got engaged, after he popped the question in front of a topless portrait of his then-bride-to-be, which had just been created by Clemente. He wrote on Instagram at the time: "When you know, you know. With you it's been so obvious @princesssummerfall. Never did I imagine someone so special would exist, and you have shown me what true love is. Together, we will be on this journey forever on. Love you. Thank you @clementestudio for being a part of this special moment and bringing it to life. Family. (sic)"

'Pete sets me up with a little heating pad, and it's very sweet, and I just eat whatever. I'm like, I will allow myself to eat whatever I want and just snuggle up and watch a movie. 'Everyone deserves a Pete!' While the pair have only been together for a few months, it was recently revealed that they are already living together.
