Actor Julian McMahon, known for Charmed and Nip/Tuck, dies aged 56
ACTOR JULIAN MCMAHON, known for his roles in Charmed, Nip/Tuck, and Fantastic Four, has died aged 56. His wife Kelly said that he passed away on Wednesday in Florida. He had been diagnosed with cancer. In a statement to Deadline, Kelly said, 'Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible. Advertisement 'We ask for support during this time to allow our family to grieve in privacy. And we wish for all those to whom Julian brought joy, to continue to find joy in life. We are grateful for the memories.' The Australian-American actor was the only son of former Australian prime minister William McMahon. He was known for playing Doctor Doom in the 2005 film Fantastic Four and Jess LaCroix in FBI: Most Wanted. He played the role of Cole Turner in drama series Charmed, which ran from 1998 to 2006. Actress Alyssa Milano, whom McMahon played opposite, said in a post to Instagram that she is 'heartbroken' by the news. 'We spent many years together on Charmed – years of scenes, stories, and so many in-between moments. He made me feel safe as an actor. Seen as a woman. He challenged me, teased me, supported me. We were so different, and yet somehow we always understood each other.' She said that her thoughts are with McMahon's wife Kelly and family. 'He adored them,' she said. 'He was a family man above all, and he loved deeply.' Readers like you are keeping these stories free for everyone...

WATCH — Proposal at Mumford & Sons Dublin concert melts hearts online
Mumford & Sons fans were left in tears on Friday night following an impromptu proposal during the band's Dublin gig. Thousands of concert goers flooded Malahide Castle ready to sob and sway to the likes of 'Little Lion Man' and 'I will wait', when one young man got down on one knee and popped the all important question. Today's top videos STORY CONTINUES BELOW Racking up over 14K views overnight, many are eager to know the identity of the mystery love birds. Mumford and Sons fans were left in tears on Friday night following an impromptu proposal during the band's Dublin gig. Pic:The short clip, which was shared by TikTok user @clairegibz, sees the young couple being cheered on by their fellow concert goers during the monumental moment. Drapped in raincoats, the emotional pair embraced in the muddy lawn as those around them whipped out their phones and toasted the young couple with plastic glasses of beer. They can be seen sharing an intimate kiss as the band's frontman Marcus Mumford serenades them in the background. The identity of the mystery lovebirds has yet to be revealed, with Claire captioning the sweet video: 'Crying about this, never been so happy for people I don't know, proper buzzing Hahahha. Congrats guys.' In true Irish style, Mumford and Sons played an impromptu show at the beer garden in O' Donoghues pub in Dublin, before their appearance in Malahide, surprising and delighting Friday evening punters with an acoustic rendition of some of their biggest hits. A video of the band playing Little Lion Man was shared to TikTok by Universal Music, with some fans of the band who were in the city (just not the pub) raging that they missed out on the intimate gig. 'One day I'll be in the right place at the right time,' one person wrote, while another commented 'damn it I should have stayed in Dublin just 1 extra night.' Another person who was in the beer garden managed to get several videos of the secret gig, where Marcus joked that the fans needed to 'play a game of shut the f**k up' (granted, it was probably necessary as there were no mics), before the crowd sang along with them and regaled them in an olé olé chant.

Heartbroken Rute Cardoso clings to family as she bids farewell to husband Diogo Jota
The heartbroken widow of Liverpool winger Diogo Jota was comforted by friends and family as she bid farewell to her late husband. Diogo, who was a winger for Liverpool, was tragically killed in a car crash alongside his brother André Silva in the Zamora region of Spain. His tragic death comes just 10 days after his wedding to Rute Cardoso, with whom he shared three children. The heartbroken widow of Liverpool winger Diogo Jota was comforted by friends and family as she bid farewell to her late husband. Pic: PA Diogo and André were laid to rest in their native Portugal on Saturday (July 5), with Rute being photographed lying on her husband's coffin as mourners lined the streets to bid farewell to the players. Rute and Diogo began dating in 2012, sharing two sons and a daughter together before Diogo popped the question in 2022. They got married in 2025, just 10 days before his untimely death. In a now heartbreaking post on his Instagram just before his passing, he shared a video of his wedding day, which saw him and Rute walk down the aisle and exchange vows. The late footballer captioned the video 'a day we will never forget.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by (@extradotie) Diogo's Liverpool teammates Virgil Van Dijk, Andy Robertson and coach Arne Slot attended the funeral in his native Gondomar, near Porto, with crowds lining the streets and applauding as the brothers' coffins were led into the church. Born in a family of four in 1996, Diogo started making a name for himself while playing youth football for local side Gondomar before joining Pacos de Ferreira's academy in 2013. He chose against going by his last name Silva, to differentiate himself from other Diogo's and Silva's in the teams he'd play for; with Jota being the Portuguese pronunciation of the letter J. Diogo and Rute share three children together, and married just 10 days before his untimely death on Thursday. Pic: Rute Cardoso/Instagram Jota made his debut for Pacos at just 17 years old and it wasn't long until he was picked up by Spanish giants Atletico Madrid in 2016. He wouldn't go on to make an appearance in the Spanish capital but he was loaned back to his hometown club FC Porto where he had a breakout season in 2016/17, scoring 8 goals as Porto. As one of the brightest prospects in Portuguese football at this point it came as a shock then when Jota made the move to the midlands of England to join Wolverhampton Wanderers. Wolves were undergoing a revolution of the club which saw many Portuguese talents join but Jota would go down as one of the best. He played a crucial part in Wolves getting promoted from the Championship to the Premier League, scoring 17 goals in 44 games before establishing the side in the Premier League scoring nearly 20 goals over two season as Wolves established themselves as a strong Premier League side. His form in the midlands would see him make the big money move to Anfield to join Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool for £40million in September 2020. He would play a crucial part in the most successful period in Liverpool's recent history. He won the FA Cup in 2022 and played a part in Liverpool reaching the Champions League final that same year where they lost to Real Madrid in Paris. Jota's club success would translate to the International stage as he played a part in multiple tournaments for Portugal. Since making his debut in 2019 Jota earned 50 caps for his nation, including at the 2020 and 2024 European Championships as well as the 2022 World Cup. He most recently won the UEFA Nations League with Portugal, after they beat Spain 5-3 on penalties.
