Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy actress Sarah Pidgeon offers terse response to criticism of American Love Story costumes
The 29-year-old actress plays Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy in the upcoming series following her romance with John F. Kennedy Jr., played by Paul Kelly.
Series creator Ryan Murphy shared the first official image of Pidgeon and Kelly from their camera tests as filming got under way in New York City last month.
Fans did not hold back with savage comments about how 'horrible' Pidgeon was styled as Bessette-Kennedy, who worked for Calvin Klein before her marriage to JFK Jr. in 1996, on Instagram and elsewhere.
Bessette-Kennedy's own colorist even bashed the production, adding his late client would be 'swirling in heaven' when she sees the look.
While promoting her new I Know What You Did Last Summer remake with E! News, Pidgeon offered a terse response to the haters.
'I can't wait for them to see it!' Pidgeon said in response to the haters of her character's look.
She added, 'We're just getting started. It's been so exciting. I feel very honored to take on this role and learn about such an incredible woman who's endured for close to 25 years now.'
Pidgeon added, 'it feels very special' adding she's 'very grateful' to be a part of the late couple's legacy.

Kennedy heir posts bizarre video begging for a SURROGATE as he insists he is 'ready for kids'
The grandson of John F Kennedy has posted a bizarre video begging for a surrogate after insisting he is 'ready for kids.' Jack Schlossberg, 32, took to Instagram on Tuesday morning to share a somewhat frenzied clip about his urgency to have children. Speaking directly to camera while dressed in a grey sweatshirt with the hood pulled up, he began: 'Hey everybody, I am ready to have kids. I want to have a kid via surrogate.' 'I think it's much cleaner, much more efficient to have a kid via surrogate. 'It's very modern and I just need to have kids and I need to have them now. 'I want to make sure that my genetic material is passed down. I am not only athletic and handsome but I'm smart and funny. 'And so I want to have a kid soon and I need the perfect surrogate... I need help with the first couple of years with the baby nurse stuff but after that I'm good.' The overlaid text simply read: 'Need a surrogate.' But this isn't the first time Jack has publicly boasted about his own 'attractive qualities.' In May, the Kennedy heir made a cocky 'joke' in a TikTok video, claiming that he upsets men when making eye contact with their girlfriends in the street. 'Dating in 2025, couples in 2025, I have something to say,' he began with an example of walking down the street and spotting a heterosexual couple walking towards him. 'Sometimes the female and I will make eye contact,' he said. 'I don't like doing that. I don't like doing that to a guy. I like to look down and I look away.' 'Because I don't like it. I don't want that for that guy and I know that that's gonna p**s him off,' he continued. 'And I know that he's just - he doesn't even care, but now he has to care, because why did she look, and what, who, and she's smiling now, why doesn't she smile for me anymore.' 'So I wanna say to all the other guys out there who aren't in relationships to look away, to look away in those scenarios. Look away.' In May, the Kennedy heir made a cocky 'joke' in a TikTok video, claiming that he upsets men when making eye contact with their girlfriends in the street The video stirred the internet as comments weighed in on Schlossberg's commentary as well as on his looks. But the avid content creator isn't one to shy away from social media confrontation. He recently publicly demanded that journalist Megyn Kelly show him her genitals in another unhinged outburst. Jack commented on an Instagram post from Megyn's show on the Israel-Iran conflict, which montaged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claiming Iran is close to building a nuclear bomb over several decades. In a comment on the video, Schlossberg wrote: 'Looking extremely feminine!! Very good. Now show us your c@&6.' Schlossberg, whose late grandmother, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, is regarded as one of the most dignified female celebrities of all time, appeared to delete the comment soon after.

EXCLUSIVE Inside 'raw' Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's excruciating holiday: Yacht guestlist revealed as insiders whisper of 'intense and controversial' real reason couple split
This is no ordinary break-up – and no ordinary summer holiday, either. You generally expect separating couples to avoid each other once the split has happened, but Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom - who slipped out their separation announcement as quietly as possible on the eve of America's Fourth of July holiday - are still spending time with each other and their four-year-old daughter Daisy Dove. Forget Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin 's wholemeal, po-faced 'conscious uncoupling' – this is a White Lotus-style split for the super-rich, with multiple staff and delightfully wealthy friends on hand to smooth any bumps along the way.

Clint Eastwood's pregnant daughter Francesca poses with partner and son… after domestic violence arrest
Francesca Eastwood was seen on the red carpet at the Superman premiere on Monday evening in Los Angeles. The 31-year-old actress made the most of her baby bump as she modeled a shiny pale pink gown with high heels. The daughter of Clint Eastwood, 94, was not alone. By her side was her partner of many years Alexander Wraith and their son Titan, age six. It's nice to see the family all together as only months ago the star was arrested for domestic violence. Francesca was arrested on October 12 for felony domestic violence following a dispute with a boyfriend that reportedly turned physical—though no charges were ultimately filed, per TMZ. According to the outlet, her boyfriend—whose identity was not released—called police and was advised to meet officers at the Beverly Hills Police Department's Safety Zone. He reportedly had visible injuries when they arrived, leading to Francesca's arrest and booking on felony charges. She was later released on $50,000 bail. Sources said the boyfriend declined medical treatment and refused to cooperate with investigators—key reasons prosecutors ultimately dropped the case. It remains unclear whether Wraith was the alleged victim. Alexander already shares a 14-year-old named Trajan with his estranged wife Lili Gaildraud, from whom he separated in 2015. The daughter of Titanic actress Frances Fisher, 72, announced her pregnancy in late May. She took to Instagram to share stunning photos of herself cradling her baby bump. In a touching nod to her mother, she revealed she was wearing the same dress Fisher wore while pregnant with her. In one sweet shot, Titan stood behind her, munching on a cookie as Francesca turned toward him with a glowing smile and one hand on her belly. It's nice to see the family all together as only months ago the star was arrested for domestic violence. Francesca was arrested on October 12 for felony domestic violence following a dispute with a boyfriend that reportedly turned physical—though no charges were ultimately filed, per TMZ While she didn't reveal the identity of the baby's father in her announcement, she was seen posing with Wraith at an event a day before she shared the pregnancy news. Francesca is Clint's daughter with actress Fisher, whom he dated from 1990 to 1995. The two never married, and Francesca remains their only child together. Clint has been married twice—first to Maggie Johnson, whom he wed in 1953 and officially divorced in 1984 after years of separation. His second marriage came in 1996 to news anchor Dina Ruiz, just a year after his split from Fisher. Clint and Dina welcomed daughter Morgan Eastwood before divorcing in 2014. He is also the father of 39-year-old actor Scott Eastwood, whose mother is former flight attendant Jacelyn Reeves. Clint and Reeves never married.
