Ringo Starr says he asked Sam Mendes for changes to Beatles biopic script
The director of the forthcoming Beatles biopic had his work cut out for him, as far as Ringo Starr was concerned. The legendary rock & roll group's drummer had plenty of notes for the Sam Mendes-helmed movie project. Starr, one of two surviving members of the Fab Four, says he met with the Oscar winning director in April to discuss the four-part film. Starr, played in the films by Irish actor Barry Keoghan, took particular umbrage with the depiction of his marriage to his first wife Maureen Starkey Tigrett in the script. He told the New York Times that he went over the script for his installment line-by-line and offered Mendes 'extensive notes' in an effort to get the story closer to the real thing. 'He had a writer — very good writer, great reputation, and he wrote it great, but it had nothing to do with Maureen and I,' the 85-year-old explained, without naming the chosen screenwriter. 'That's not how we were. I'd say, 'We would never do that.'' The couple were married in 1965 and had three children before splitting in 1975. She died in 1994 from leukemia. The star is now 'much more satisfied with how he's depicted in the script' and wishes Mendes 'peace and love.' Joseph Quinn plays George Harrison, Harris Dickinson portrays John Lennon and Paul Mescal stars as Paul McCartney in the yet-to-be-titled films, currently being referred to as 'The Beatles — A Four Film Cinematic Event.' Award-winning writers Jez Butterworth, Peter Straughan and Jack Thorne are attached to the project, expected to hit theaters in 2028.

Idris Elba says he has never watched ‘The Wire' and never will
Idris Elba has revealed that he's never watched 'The Wire' and he never will. The hunky actor and sought-after DJ confessed that he hasn't seen a single episode of the HBO hit that made him a household name, in which he played debonair yet dastardly drug dealer Stringer Bell. 'If I'm really honest, I didn't watch 'The Wire,'' he shared on this week's episode of the 'Good Hang with Amy Poehler' podcast. 'I didn't watch it. And I feel bad. It's not that I'm not a fan of it — I was there.' The London native made a career breakout on the David Simon-created drama, hailed as one of the best shows in television history. He appeared in the first three seasons of the series, which also propelled the careers of Michael K. Williams, Andre Royo, Dominic West, Sonja Sohn, Tristan 'Mack' Wilds, Wood Harris and Tony Award-winner Wendell Pierce. Despite understanding now 'the importance of the show,' Elba admits that he's never 'participate[d] in its celebration as a viewer, as a fan' so he feels 'a little bit outside of the club.' And while he does 'feel proud' of his time on 'The Wire,' the Golden Globe and SAG Award winner has no desire to ever watch his work. 'It [would be] weird for me to go back and watch it,' Elba told Poehler. 'I don't like being overly conscious about what my performance is like, because it makes me conscious about doing it. I like being in it rather than watching it.' Still, Elba acknowledges the lasting effect the show has had and continues to have on viewers, even 20 years later. 'At least once a day, someone says, 'Bro, Stringer Bell, The Wire,' … It really does, it surprises me how much impact that show had,' he said. 'In a good way, it surprises me continuously that, you know, multi-generationally, it's still being talked [about by] people that weren't even born then.'

Amal Clooney Reveals Why She and George Clooney Don't Share Photos of Their Kids: ‘Private Moments'
Amal Clooney spoke about how much she and husband George Clooney value privacy for their family while navigating life in the spotlight. In a rare and intimate interview, the human rights activist, 47, opened up about the delicate balance they've struck between global fame and preserving their personal world, especially when it comes to their kids. 'Creating private moments and spaces is becoming increasingly difficult,' Amal told Glamour in an article published on Thursday, July 3, revealing that it's led her to set rules when it comes to entertaining guests in the comfort of her abode. 'I now have a phone basket that I use to take everyone's phones away!' 'It's important to get that balance where you have time alone with your family and with your friends where people feel like you can have a safe and frank exchange,' she added. 'And I would say becoming a parent means you're more troubled by some of the intrusions.' As for why Amal and George, 64, don't share photos of their 8-year-old twins — Ella and Alexander — she said they have their reasons. 'We do the best we can to minimize any impact on our children. We don't put our children out there, we've never put their photo out there or anything like that,' the lawyer explained. The power couple welcomed their twins on June 6, 2017, at St. Mary's Hospital in London, nearly three years after exchanging their vows in Italy. Amal said that her passion for mentorship is something she would like to ingrain in her children. 'Thinking back to my days at Oxford — that's where I studied law — and now being back there two decades later, has made me reflect that I wasn't remotely as engaged with the world, as knowledgeable about the world, as this generation is,' Amal said. 'The people I'm meeting now are not only unsatisfied with the status quo, they are determined to be agents of change. It's invigorating to be around them. They ask really good and sometimes difficult questions. I love seeing that sort of curiosity,' the mom of two went on. 'It's something that we're trying to instill in our kids.' Amal credited George with helping her to stay motivated and empowered to chase after her goals. 'I have a partner in life who is so supportive of what I do,' she continued. The Right to a Fair Trial in International Law author also discussed her meaningful philanthropic work shortly after visiting Buckingham Palace to support The King's Trust. 'And I remember when I became a mom, which was obviously a new frontier, he was the first one to say, 'I know you've got this speech at the Security Council. You have to go, I've got the kids, don't worry about it.' I feel so incredibly lucky to share every day with him,' she said of George. 'And now we're four. And I don't take any of it for granted,' Amal gushed. 'I treasure the laughter and the joy that I get from just being with them.'
