Matthew Broderick's vest in 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' could sell for up to $600K at auction
The vest Matthew Broderick donned nearly 40 years ago for "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" is going under an auctioneer's hammer with an estimated price between $300,000 and $600,000.
Sotheby's auction house is set to take bids on the garment, owned by former ESPN reporter Darren Rovell, until 2:01 p.m. ET on June 24.
The vest has minimal "pilling and loose threads consistent with age and production-use," Sotheby's said.
Broderick, 63, was a successful young Broadway actor when he became a household name thanks to the classic John Hughes coming-of-age comedy.
He played charming slacker Bueller, who faked being sick and enjoyed a glorious day of hooky in Chicago with his girlfriend, played by Mia Sara, and pal, portrayed by Alan Ruck.

Travis Kelce leaves fans baffled with his latest endorsement: 'Most random crossover'
Travis Kelce has left fans stunned with his latest partnership after the NFL star teamed up with one of the internet's most popular online games. The Kansas City Chiefs superstar, 35, is no stranger to the spotlight away from the football field, l anding cameo roles in 'Happy Gilmore 2' and Ryan Murphy 's horror series, 'Grotesquerie.' The tight end is also more than happy to lend his famous name to brand deals, including Pfizer, Subway and Lowe's. However, fans believe his latest endorsement is a bit out of left field, even for him. The three-time Super Bowl winner teamed up with gaming platform Roblox to host a special event of Grow Your Garden - one of the world's fastest growing popular games, often played by children. Kelce hosted the half-an-hour event at 9:30am ET on Saturday, even giving a virtual 'interview' via his avatar with developer 'Jandel'. And fans of both the game and football were left baffled by Kelce's participation in the game, branding it the 'most random crossover' on social media. 'Why the f*** is travis kelce collabing with a goddamn roblox game (grow a garden) its so random bruh im dying,' one social media user posted. 'Travis Kelce playing Grow a Garden wasn't on my Bingo card,' another quipped. 'What is this crossover,' a third asked, while a fourth added: 'Most insane collab ever.' 'My son is going nuts because Grow a Garden (massive game on Roblox, over 1M players daily) is having a special event with Travis Kelce doing an AMA,' one stunned user wrote. 'playing roblox with my nephew and what the hell is travis kelce doing here,' another added. The video game involves players slowly developing a little patch of virtual land, simulating growing plants and creating a garden. The game is rather slow-paced and sedate compared to traditional video games but since its launch in March of this year it has attracted millions of users - many of them children. Fans were left baffled by the collaboration, branding it the 'most random crossover' The game has smashed a record for concurrent players, which was previously held by Fortnite. Earlier this month, it reached a peak of 21.9 million concurrent players, while Fortnite's previous record stood at 15.3 million, according to reports. Kelce reported for training camp with the Chiefs earlier this week as he prepares for his 13th season in the NFL after confirming to delay retirement for at least another year during the offseason. Yet, his return - along with the Chiefs' quest for Super Bowl revenge - hasn't stopped him from pursuing his offield endeavors either. Last year, he hosted a gameshow - 'Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?' - and appeared in horror series 'Grotesquerie'. While this summer presented the stunning opportunity to appear in Happy Gilmore 2. The tight end played the role of a server in Adam Sandler's long-awaited sequel to his 1996 cult comedy classic.

TV star Billy Porter blasted over 'replaced the Jews' line while promoting new musical
Award-winning actor Billy Porter has sparked controversy during a recent appearance on CBS Mornings, where he remarked that 'black people have replaced the Jews' while discussing his new leading role on Broadway. The 55-year-old actor and singer appeared on the network's morning segment on Monday to promote his role as the Emcee in the Broadway revival of the 1966 musical Cabaret. Cabaret is a dark, provocative classic set in 1930s Berlin that explores the fate of a seedy nightclub and its patrons as the shadow of Nazism begins to fall over the city. However, for the first time, this new revival will feature three Black actors in its leading roles - a historic casting choice Porter confirmed on Monday. 'This is the first time in the 60-year history that all three of those characters have been African-American in a commercial production,' he said. 'And with what's going on in the world right now, black people have replaced the Jews in this sort of configuration of what we're going through.' His comment quickly sparked a wave of backlash across the internet, including from Broadway influencer Ben Lebofsky, who has a significant following on TikTok. Lebofsky, who has 23.2K followers under the handle @broadwayben, posted a video on Tuesday accusing Porter of downplaying antisemitism. Specifically, the influencer argued that Porter's remark implied that 'Jews no longer face discrimination,' a statement that ignited significant concern and debate among viewers who felt it overlooked the persistence of anti-Jewish prejudice. 'As we all know, antisemitism is alive and well, and to me, it feels like Billy's comments here is dismissing,' Lebofsky said in the video. 'Which becomes even more problematic when you consider that he is about to step into a musical that is first and foremost about Jewish trauma,' he added. Though Lebofsky took issue with Porter's wording, he also recognized that the parallels drawn between the experiences of Jewish and black Americans are not without merit - reflecting complex and shared histories of oppression. 'I think what he is trying to say is that, in today's day and age, black people face a lot of discrimination, and you can draw a lot of parallels to the discrimination that black people face and the discrimination that Jewish people face, which I think is a true statement,' Lebofsky added. The comments beneath Lebofsky's video largely echoed his concerns, with many viewers expressing anger and frustration over Porter's remarks. 'Not to mention the huge population of black Jews he is just ignoring. Jewish doesn't equal white,' one comment read. A second added: 'Genuinely what would possess him to say that while playing the Emcee.' Often seen as the symbolic heart of Cabaret, the Emcee (right) embodies the seductive excess and creeping decay of Weimar-era Berlin - ultimately offering a haunting mirror to an unraveling society as the Nazi regime rises to power 'It's like you can hear the exact moment that the Cabaret PR team started to have a panic attack,' another viewer wrote. A fourth concurred, accompanied by a sad-face emoji: 'Clearly Billy Porter doesn't know the plot of Cabaret.' 'Billy has always played the Oppression Olympics. The only pain he's interested in discussing is his own,' wrote another. The latest revival of Cabaret debuted last year with Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne captivating audiences as the Emcee. Now, Billy Porter will step into the spotlight, bringing his own bold interpretation to the iconic role as the production heads toward its final curtain this October. Porter's role as the Emcee - the flamboyant, enigmatic master of ceremonies at the Kit Kat Club, where much of the story unfolds - places him at the center of the musical's unsettling world. Often seen as the symbolic heart of Cabaret, the Emcee embodies the seductive excess and creeping decay of Weimar-era Berlin - ultimately offering a haunting mirror to an unraveling society as the Nazi regime rises to power. Back in April, Porter participated in a photo project titled Borrowed Spotlight, which paired Holocaust survivors with prominent celebrities to amplify their stories and ensure their experiences continue to be seen and heard. 'I was honored to meet fellow New Yorker Bella Rosenberg for a photoshoot with @brycethompson and the @borrowedspotlight project,' Porter wrote in an Instagram post regarding his experience.

Rachel Zegler sparks fan fury with mysterious Evita exit halfway through London show
Rachel Zegler left fans furious as she abruptly left the stage midway through her Evita performance on Thursday. The 24-year-old star of the 'woke' Snow White remake fell ill during the show at London's Palladium theatre - with her departure announced at intermission, per People. Following a brief pause, her understudy Bella Brown, who played Perón's Mistress in the musical, took on the Evita role for act 2 - which begins with Don't Cry for Me Argentina. Zegler, who has won rave reviews for her Evita portrayal, will return to the stage tonight, Friday 25th July for the evening performance, her representative confirmed to One fan wrote on social media: 'Rachel zegler ruining everything she's a part of still.' Others penned: 'Give her a job at McDonalds. It's clear this woman isnt cut out for entertainment. Stop giving her charity. 'The understudy is better. No shock. I'd give her a standing ovation if she would just leave. Always one bus stop away from knocking it out of the park with this one. On Broadway they would be demanding their $ back. So apparently woke Snow White is creating box office disasters on two continents. Shame, despite her many missteps and foibles, she seemed to doing a good job by all accounts at this at least. Others sent well wishes for the star, writing: 'Hope she's okay.' Most probably a health issue. I have watched the show and her performance is excellent, both vocals and acting. Actually, she saves a show that lacks narrative coherence and direction generally fails to make the audience emotionally attached. Rachel is playing former First Lady of Argentina Eva Peron in the show, which debuted in 1978 and was written by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Fans were left furious with the star over her abrupt exit The play follows her rise from a poor background to becoming a powerful political figure and cultural icon in Argentina. Following the announcement earlier this year, Rachel gushed: 'Evita has been such an important musical to me since I was a little girl, when my dad and I would sing Don't Cry for Me Argentina together on my back patio. 'The opportunity to bring Jamie Lloyd's singular, visionary ideas to life onstage is an honour unlike any other. The stage has always felt like home to me, and I can't wait to make my West End debut in such great company.' So far, Zegler is best known for the box office flop Snow White. Prior to its release, Snow White was mired in controversy due to comments from Zegler and the absence of the iconic song 'Someday My Prince Will Come.' In an effort to be more progressive, Disney also changed the dwarves to be called 'magical creatures.' Critics of the remake first jumped on Disney for the decision to cast Zegler in the role due to her Colombian ancestry. The original fairytale revealed that the princess is given her name because her skin is 'as white as snow.' At the time, Zegler said that the origin story had changed, and in Disney's new version the princess earns the name due to a snowstorm she survived as a child. She then came under fire for criticizing original animation when she called it 'dated' during a red carpet interview with Extra TV in 2022. She eventually walked back her comments and assured fans that the love story would be 'integral' to the remake's plot. Disney fans then expressed discontent at Zegler when she said she was 'scared' of the original version as a child and only watched it one time. Although the Disney remake has been widely considered a flop, Rachel has already lined up next role. She will be starring opposite Marisa Tomei, 60, of My Cousin Vinny fame, in her next movie role. In the upcoming comedy-drama She Gets It From Me, Zegler will play the daughter of the Tomei's wild, unruly and free-spirited character, according to the synopsis reported by Variety.
