Mickey Rourke Is Considering Taking Legal Action Against "CBB", His Team Claims
The Oscar nominee spent just under a week in the CBB compound last week, during which time he landed himself at the centre of several controversies.
After he was criticised for touching and eyeing up presenter AJ Odudu on his way into the house, he was later reprimanded and hit with a formal warning from producers over his use of homophobic language.
He was eventually asked to leave the house on Saturday after an aggressive confrontation with Chris Hughes, and his use of 'inappropriate sexual language' towards Ella Rae Wise.
It's since been reported by The Sun that because of his impromptu exit, the 9½ Weeks star will receive only a fraction of his rumoured £500K fee for his appearance on CBB.
On Wednesday, his representative told TMZ that he and lawyers in the UK are now 'weighing' a lawsuit against CBB broadcasters ITV.
According to Mickey's team, the actor is being 'unjustly' denied his pay by ITV, alleging that producers deliberately ejected him at the time they did because had he lasted a day longer, he'd be entitled to more money.
There's also apparently a dispute over hotels.
Mickey's team is alleging that he was assured he could stay in swanky accommodation while he was in London for the reality show, but he was then informed while he was en route that he would only be covered for around £226 a night.
This reportedly left him with a hefty bill as he'd apparently already arranged more expensive accommodation for himself and his team.
HuffPost UK has contacted Celebrity Big Brother and Mickey Rourke's management team for comment.
Mickey previously told bosses of his exit: 'I know it was my bad. I've got a short fuse and I know I upset a lot of people out there. And I'm sorry for that. I'm actually ashamed of myself for getting that [angry with Chris].
'I went over the line, you know, I did wrong. I guess I'm a work in progress.'

Millennials triggered by traumatizing fashion accessory making a comeback: ‘It's giving PTSD'
In the early 2000s, one of these belts was likely hanging around your hips — and now, they're back to haunt a new generation. Disk belts, the flashy, divisive accessory that once accompanied low-rise jeans everywhere, are making a comeback thanks to Gen Z's obsession with Y2K fashion. Stores like Primark are proudly displaying them, as reported by The Sun, and TikTok is sounding the alarm. Advertisement One millennial mom was not amused when her teenage daughter reached for one. In a recent TikTok video, creator Nina Dixon (@ninadixon28) documented her daughter beelining for the blinged-out, circular belts — and the mother's reaction said it all: pure fashion flashback horror. 'I can't believe that they've made a comeback,' Dixon said while filming the 'round ones' hanging with the rest of the trendy belts. Advertisement The TikTokker went on, 'You do realise that when I was about 14, that is what we used to wear.' She joked that she was feeling 'PTSD' after seeing a relic of the past for sale once again. In her caption, shocked Dixon wrote, 'They were not lying when they said fashions come back around. I need to find a photo of me in one of these.' One commenter wrote beneath the video, 'I am old I am OLD!' as another added, 'How is this stuff coming back?' with crying and laughing emojis. Advertisement 3 Millennials are shocked that this trend is back in style. BoujeeBora/TikTok Someone else chimed in, commenting, 'Violently thrown back to the micro mini skirt and chunky belt era' as one other defended the daughter in the video, 'why cant she like it.' In another recent TikTok clip, user Shunta (@shuntamosby) also filmed these throwback belts during a T.J. Maxx shopping trip and seemed to be in disbelief that they returned. Advertisement 'What a throwback! I'm sure some of my Elder Millennial peers owned a few! Relive those glory days or discover something new!' she captioned the video. The creator also referred to these as 'nostalgic' and 'boho' leather belts. One wrote under the post, 'I most certainly had one,' as someone else added, 'I never had one, maybe I did. I just don't wanna remember.' Another user said they would 'rock a couple of em now,' as someone else commented, 'The Beyonce influence.' And these aren't the only Y2K-inspired items stunning millennials and catching the eyes of Gen Z-ers lately. 3 Younger generations are now trying to get their hands on these dated belts. NinaDixon28/TikTok As previously reported by The Post, the Von Dutch trucker hat — the early aughts crown jewel once perched atop Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan — has also been staging a full-blown comeback. Last fall, the cult-favorite cap clawed its way out of the 2000s style grave and back onto famous foreheads. Kylie Jenner rocked a bubblegum-pink version on the cover of Elle's November 2024 issue, while sister Kendall and catwalk queen Bella Hadid have also dipped their trucker-hat-clad toes into the early aughts revival. Advertisement Mentions of Von Dutch have skyrocketed a whopping 13,000% in the past year, according to Business of Fashion — and on resale sites like Depop, searches for 'Von Dutch' and 'trucker hat' are up 40% and 90%, respectively. Ultimately, it seems Y2K called — and Gen Z is answering on speakerphone.

Miley Cyrus, Timothée Chalamet and Demi Moore to receive stars on Hollywood Walk of Fame
A few new stars are set to appear on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Miley Cyrus, Timothée Chalamet and Demi Moore were among the 35 honorees announced this morning by Eugenio Derbez and Richard Blade. Inductees were selected across five categories: motion pictures, television, live theater and live performance, recording and sports entertainment. There were no radio honorees. Others who made the class of 2026 include actors Emily Blunt, Rachel McAdams, Molly Ringwald, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Rami Malek and Noah Wyle; former NBA star turned sports analyst Shaquille O'Neal; and 'Good Morning America' co-anchors Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos, who will have a double ceremony. Italian special effects artist Carlo Rambaldi and director Tony Scott will be posthumously honored. Cyrus, who released her ninth studio album, 'Something Beautiful,' in May, rolled around the Walk of Fame for the music video for her aptly titled single 'Walk of Fame,' later revealing on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' that she developed an infection on her kneecap from the bacteria on the famed Hollywood Boulevard sidewalk. Still, the singer shared some of the footage on Instagram shortly after her star was announced. 'When I first came to LA from Nashville as a little girl, my family would stay at a hotel on Hollywood Blvd, and I would go on late night walks with my dad when no one would recognize him. We'd have the gift shops to ourselves & buy knock off Oscars and Marilyn Monroe merchandise,' she wrote. 'To now be cemented on this legendary boulevard, surrounded by the icons who inspired me, feels like a dream.' Meanwhile, Chalamet is coming off the success of the Bob Dylan biopic 'A Complete Unknown.' He earned an Oscar nomination for his role as the legendary singer-songwriter. He's set to begin filming the third installment of the 'Dune' film franchise, titled 'Dune: Messiah,' this summer, according to Deadline. Moore, who rose to prominence with the 1985 film 'St. Elmo's Fire,' earned her first Oscar nomination this year for her role in 'The Substance,' in which she starred opposite Margaret Qualley. She and Ringwald will be the latest of the Brat Pack to join the Walk of Fame, following Rob Lowe in 2015. It's also a family affair for Blunt and brother-in-law Stanley Tucci, who appeared in 'The Devil Wears Prada' together and are set to return for the sequel. Once selected, honorees are expected to cover an $85,000 sponsorship fee to pay for the creation and installation of the star, as well as maintenance of the Walk of Fame. Recipients have up to two years to schedule their ceremonies before the offer expires.
