Diddy's prison duds are up for sale — but not from his ongoing trial
The prison costume that Sean 'Diddy' Combs donned on screen in 'Monster's Ball' more than two decades before he was locked up for a horrifying string of alleged sex and abuse crimes is up for auction.
Bidding on GWS Auctions will open next week for the rapper's iconic ensemble from the star-studded 2001 romantic-thriller drama.

In the film, Combs, 55, played a murderer — 11 years before he allegedly broke into rapper Kid Cudi's home in a real-life plot to kill his love rival.
'The costume is worn by Sean Combs during the beginning to middle of the film while in prison and meeting with his son and wife 'Leticia' (portrayed by Halle Berry) to say goodbye before being executed,' the auction house wrote.
The outfit includes a short-sleeved white Hanes crew neck T-shirt, a light grey crew neck sweatshirt with cut-off sleeves, a pair of Faded Glory blue jeans — with one pant leg sliced off — and a pair of black canvas slip-on shoes.

The duds are a far cry from the orange monochrome jumpsuit Combs is mandated to wear while he sits at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
Combs' trial has been ongoing for more than three weeks, with the judge expecting it to last as long as eight.

On Friday, the rapper's former live-in assistant remained strong as she was laboriously grilled in Manhattan court over her explosive accusations that the disgraced music mogul repeatedly sexually assaulted her.

'Mia' – who testified anonymously as an alleged victim of sexual abuse – also claimed that her ex-boss threatened to throw her off a yacht because she took too long counting $100,000 in cash.
She is just one of Combs' many alleged victims over his decades as an A-list celebrity, the most notorious being his ex-girlfriend and alleged hostage, Cassie Ventura.

Combs allegedly sexually and physically abused Ventura and refused to free her from his toxic grasp — going so far as to plot to kill rapper Kid Cudi when he heard Ventura had moved on with him, prosecutors allege.
Combs has pleaded not guilty to the charges, which carry up to life in prison, if convicted.

‘Willy Wonka' child star reveals how much he still earns from the iconic movie
The residuals from this film did not produce the golden ticket. Fifty-four years after 'Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory' hit theaters in 1971, Peter Ostrum revealed how much he makes from the movie today. Ostrum, 67, who played Charlie Bucket, the lucky winner of the golden ticket, shared in 2018 while at the Snowtown Film Festival that he received $8 to $9 in royalties every three months. Advertisement 8 Jack Albertson, Peter Ostrum, and Gene Wilder in 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.' Courtesy Everett Collection The money comes from the film being shown on television. Regardless of the monetary amount, Ostrum felt lucky to have had the experience. Advertisement 8 Peter Ostrum in the 2023 documentary 'Remembering Gene Wilder.' Courtesy Everett Collection 'Everybody could be so lucky to have an experience like this and then to go in a completely different direction,' he told the 'Today' show in 2015. 'Willy Wonka' was based on Roald Dahl's 1964 book, and followed five kids who won a golden ticket to tour a magical factory belonging to Wonka (Gene Wilder). The project's initial release made $4 million at the box office. Advertisement 8 Peter Ostrum in the 1971 film. Courtesy Everett Collection After the movie, Ostrum stepped away from Hollywood, but still looks back at his time as a child star fondly. 'There was a little bit of fanfare but not much, and the film died a quiet death,' Ostrum said during a 2018 interview with the Daily Mirror. 'Back then, when the film came out, there was no red-carpet premiere. I was in my hometown in Ohio. It had lukewarm reviews and people forgot about it.' 'It wasn't until video 10 years later that it resurfaced and it took on a life of its own,' he added. 'We had no idea at the time that it would have any kind of success at all, so it's pretty neat that it is still so loved.' Advertisement 8 Peter Ostrum poses at The Hollywood Show in 2014. WireImage Ostrum originally nabbed the role of Charlie after being spotted by talent agents at a children's theater show in Cleveland, Ohio. He had 10 days to leave his hometown and move to Munich, Germany, to shoot the movie with Wilder for five months. Ostrum reflected on his time with the legendary actor, who died at age 83 in 2016. 8 Peter Ostrum in a scene from 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.' Courtesy Everett Collection The retired veterinarian said Wilder 'treated people with respect and dignity' and took on a fatherly role. The 'Blazing Saddles' alum even coached Ostrum in acting. The former actor said Wilder's death was 'like losing a parent,' even though the two hadn't kept in touch. Advertisement 8 Gene Wilder and Peter Ostrum. Courtesy Everett Collection Once filming wrapped, Ostrum spent a week in California after being offered a three-movie deal. He ultimately decided to turn it down. Ostrum's parents had bought him a horse to celebrate the release of 'Willy Wonka,' and he realized his passion lay with animals. 'This person really enjoyed what he did for a living,' he told the American Veterinary Medical Association in an interview. 'My father was a lawyer, and I really didn't have a clue what he did all day. But I knew exactly what the veterinarian did. Someone making a living from something he enjoyed so much really sparked my interest.' Advertisement 8 Peter Ostrum shares a laugh while on stage. Getty Images 'I thought, if that doesn't work, then maybe I could do something else,' Ostrum added. 'But I would always have in the back of my mind, 'you should've tried to get into veterinary school.' If I didn't pursue that, I'd always kick myself.' After the original film, Johnny Depp took on the role of Willy Wonka for the 2005 movie 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,' and Timothée Chalamet revived the eccentric candy man in 2023's 'Wonka.' 8 Peter Ostrum, Jack Albertson in the 1971 hit movie musical. Courtesy Everett Collection Advertisement 'You can't kill Wonka,' Ostrum mused during a virtual reunion with Yahoo in 2021. 'It just gets played over and over again, whether the original or the remake with Johnny Depp. And that brought attention back to our film. Kids saw Johnny Depp's version, their parents said, 'You need to see the original.'' 'Anything that talks about Wonka is good for the Wonka story,' he noted. 'It's a great story and it needs to be retold, regardless of who's producing it or who's making it.'

Nancy Meyers reacts to ‘The Holiday' series at Apple TV+: ‘News to me'
'The Holiday' without Nancy Meyers? Something's gotta give. After it was revealed that Apple TV+ is developing a limited series based on her 2006 Christmas romcom, Meyers, 75, shared that she was unaware of the upcoming project. 'News to me,' she wrote on her Instagram story over an article about the series from the Hollywood Reporter. 'Imagine my surprise when I opened Instagram and this was the first post I saw.' Advertisement 7 Nancy Meyers responds to 'The Holiday' series. Nancy Meyers/Instagram Meyers wrote and directed the original film, which follows Iris (Kate Winslet), a London journalist who switches houses with Amanda (Cameron Diaz), a movie editor in Los Angeles, for a change of pace. Of course, along the way, the women each find the perfect romantic pick-me-up in Jack Black and Jude Law, respectively. Advertisement 7 Nancy Meyers speaks onstage during the 'North by Northwest' screening. Getty Images for TCM Deadline first reported that Meyers was not involved in the adaptation and that the network was casting well-known actresses to play the leading ladies. According to Entertainment Weekly, Krissie Ducker is set to write and executive produce the new series alongside Rob Delaney as a consultant. In 2022, Meyers revealed she had no plans to revisit the movie. Advertisement The director took to Instagram to post a screenshot of a Daily Mail article that said the original cast was returning with a sequel. 7 Nancy Meyers on set of 'The Holiday.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection In the caption, Meyers quickly shut down the claims. 'So many DM's about this. Sorry but it's not true,' she penned alongside a heart emoji. Advertisement However, just last year, Meyers and Law, 52, reunited to celebrate the actor receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. 7 Kate Winslet, Jack Black in 'The Holiday.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection Later that day, the writer posted a video of their reunion to Instagram, where she asked Law about a potential 'Holiday' sequel. 'Look who I'm having lunch with today,' the Oscar-nominated filmmaker began. 'Congratulations on your so deserved star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. That's amazing.' 'Thanks, Nancy,' Law responded. 'It's so lovely to see you.' 'It's so great to see you,' Meyers continued. 'I don't think I've seen you since we wrapped up 'The Holiday.'' 7 Cameron Diaz, Jude Law in 'The Holiday.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection 'Speaking of which,' she went on, 'I've seen you interviewed a lot, and they keep asking you if there's going to be a sequel, what do you think?' Advertisement Law leaned back, sighed, and repeated the question, 'Is there gonna be a sequel?' The 'Sherlock Holmes' vet then grabbed a white napkin and looked up at Meyers as he pulled the cloth up to his face. 7 Behind the scenes of 'The Holiday.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection 'Uh oh. Uh oh,' Meyers teased. 'Oh no, here it comes.' Advertisement Law then placed the linen over his head, put a pair of glasses over the napkin, and recreated the iconic Mr. Napkin Head from 'The Holiday.' Laughing, Meyers inquired, 'Is that a yes, Jude?' But Law made it clear he would be interested in a sequel, only if their creator was involved. 7 Jude Law in a scene from 'The Holiday.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection Advertisement 'Of course I would,' he told E! News in December. 'I mean we'd have to be led by the great Nancy Meyers. She's unique in her filmmaking. She's not just a writer, director but she creates that sort of aesthetic, that world and you see it in her other films.' Law added, 'I'm curious, just because there were two very sweet couples and it would be interesting to drop back in now, and just see what they are doing.'
