IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Wes Anderson ‘didn't speak' to Gene Hackman after making The Royal Tenenbaums
Hackman died this year, aged 95, with Anderson's offbeat tale, in which he played the titular patriarch of a family of former child prodigies, one of the last he made before retiring from acting. However, unlike many of the stars of the director's films, like Bill Murray or Jason Schwartzman, they never struck up a lasting friendship. The duo apparently got off on the wrong foot due to The Grand Budapest Hotel filmmaker's tradition of paying all his actors an identical flat fee.

Elliot Page goes public with first post-transition relationship
Love is in the air for Elliot Page and Julia Shiplett. The X-Men star debuted his new romance with the Overcompensating actress via Instagram on Saturday by sharing a sweet selfie of them together. While he didn't share any additional details regarding the relationship, he captioned the photo with a rainbow emoji and a double-heart emoji. In the picture, Page stood alongside Shiplett, who plays Mimi on the Prime Video series, as he grinned in front of a rainbow-paved road. Shiplett, 38, appeared to confirm the relationship on her social media, sharing a photo to her Instagram Stories of the shirtless Umbrella Academy actor relaxing in a hot spring. 'Happy prideee,' she wrote across the photo. Page, also 38, has not been in a public relationship since he came out as a trans man in 2020. However, he opened up about his dating life in June 2023, telling the Los Angeles Times that he was having 'the most fun I've ever had dating.' 'Interacting with people feels so much easier and more connected,' he added, 'because I'm not feeling lost in myself and not seen in the right way.' The Juno star was previously married to Emma Portner from 2018 to 2021. In his 2023 memoir Pageboy, the actor also revealed he was once in a secret relationship for two years with a closeted actress whom he refers to as 'Ryan.' 'My partner was more closeted than me for a change,' Page wrote. 'We were together for almost two years, and even some of my closest friends were not aware I was in a relationship. Her parents did not know.' Page recalled the relationship as not being 'sustainable' as he detailed the reason behind their break-up. 'People didn't 'think she was queer,' but they definitely assumed I was, and I don't think she could handle the shame,' he shared. 'Ultimately, she had to do what was best for her, and unfortunately, it resulted in my heart being shattered.' Page has also been romantically linked to actress Kate Mara and his 'Juno' co-star Olivia Thirlby.

‘Disgusting': Kid's party debate erupts, divides the internet
A mum has sparked a heated debate online after sharing her frustration when her child was uninvited to a birthday party. Taking to TikTok, Sarah, known as 'momof_4our_', detailed the moment she discovered her son had been excluded – and the surprising way it all unfolded. In her video, Sarah explained that one of her children had been invited to a party, but she ended up replying to one of the parents a couple of weeks later to RSVP because she is 'crap at texting people.' She responded by thanking them for the invite and saying her child was 'really looking forward to coming.' However, they replied saying that the party had now been cancelled. But Sarah soon found out that the party wasn't cancelled and had still taken place. 'All of my child's friends were texting him saying why aren't you at the party, how come you're not here, we want to see blah blah blah,' she said. Sarah soon realised that the parent had 'lied' to her by claiming it was cancelled. Her frustration stems from the behaviour of the parents who, rather than addressing the missed RSVP directly, chose to lie about the party being cancelled. She added: 'Like why invite my child to a party if you're going to pretend it's not on anymore, I just don't understand.' Sarah explained that they all go to the same school and questioned what the parent thought was going to happen. She went on to say how upset her child had been, describing the situation as 'disgusting behaviour.' The video, which has gained over 180,000 views, has divided opinions online. While some sympathised with Sarah and criticised the other parent's behaviour, others argued that missing the RSVP deadline might have left the hosts feeling frustrated or overwhelmed. One viewer commented: 'Should have replied earlier, it's so annoying when parents don't text back for numbers and parents have to pay according to numbers. They probably meant your invite cancelled cos you didn't reply.' Sarah responded: 'She said the venue had been double booked and she would let me know when they find another venue, so clearly didn't mean that!' Another added: 'Just interested Sarah – When she texted it was cancelled did you reply with a 'thanks for letting me know, shame etc'? Wondering if you didn't respond & had done the response prior, late as admitted, could she have rebooked & thought you weren't too bothered. 'Just a thought but if you did reply to the cancellation text then my theory is nada!' A third said: 'You replied weeks later. Maybe they felt bad saying they can no longer come so just said it's cancelled.' However, others were firmly on Sarah's side. One viewer wrote: 'Vileeeeeee! I'd have turned up to the party.' Another added: 'I would have confronted the mother, that's not okay, poor children.'

Vin Diesel shows off his new physique as he poses for pictures with his celeb pals
Vin Diesel has been photographed looking noticeably less buff while posing with some of his celebrity pals. Diesel, best known for his role in the Fast and Furious franchise, flashed a smile as he hugged his former co-star, Charlize Theron while attending her Africa Outreach Project event in Los Angeles at the weekend. Wearing a black vest top and dark sunglasses, Diesel showed off a larger frame as he enjoyed the event with his famous pals. His latest public appearance comes after a fellow actor took a stab at Diesel during an interview earlier this year. Actor Paul Walter Hauser launched a surprising spray on Vin Diesel in a recent interview, recoiling when the interviewer jokingly compared him to the action star. Recent Golden Globe winner Hauser was sitting down with outlet CinemaBlend in a press junket for his latest film, Inside Out 2, in which he voices the character 'Embarrassment.' But he had no embarrassment hitting back when the interviewer joked to Hauser that his character's arc in the animated film means 'you're like Vin Diesel now.' 'Please don't say that,' he shot back, explaining: 'I like to think I am on time and approachable.' Hauser's Inside Out 2 co-star Lewis Black reacted with shock as he explained his surprise diss. 'I love people, but when I hear stories about Hollywood actors who get paid really well and mistreat people … I out them constantly, and it's a blast.' Meanwhile, on Saturday night, Diesel joined his Fast and Furious co-stars Tyrese Gibson and Cody Walker at Fuel Fest in California. During his brief appearance, Diesel told a crowd of fans what they can expect to see in the final Fast and Furious film. He also confirmed that it's likely to be released sometime in 2027 after numerous delays. 'The studio said to me, 'Vin, can we please have the finale of 'Fast and Furious' [in] April 2027?'' Diesel said. 'I said, 'Under three conditions.' First, is to bring the franchise back to L.A.! The second thing was to return to the car culture, to the street racing! The third thing was reuniting Dom and Brian O'Conner.'
