Michael Douglas is enjoying his time away from Hollywood. The Oscar winner, 80, spoke at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival in the Czech Republic on Saturday and confirmed he has current no plans to act again. 'I have not worked since 2022 purposefully because I realized I had to stop,' he said, per Variety.

The 'One Who Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest' producer also spoke about how his throat cancer diagnosis impacted his acting career. 'Stage 4 cancer is not a holiday, but there aren't many choices, are there?,' he said. 'I went with the program, involving chemo and radiation, and was fortunate. The surgery would have meant not being able to talk and removing part of my jaw and that would have been limiting as an actor.'

Too Much star Megan Stalter reveals she was terrified when Lena Dunham first messaged her
Too Much star Megan Stalter has admitted she was terrified when writer Lena Dunham first approached her to be part of the forthcoming Netflix show. The 10-episode romantic comedy series stars Stalter, who's best known for her role as the chaotic nepo baby Kayla in the Emmy-winning comedy show Hacks, alongside White Lotus actor Will Sharpe. Speaking to The Guardian, Stalter said that Dunham, who has won two Golden Globes for her 2012 series Girls, first messaged her on social media to discuss her being involved in the project. 'I was at home: this really bad apartment in Laurel Canyon [in the Hollywood Hills],' she said. 'The area is haunted, and it was actually a really scary building, and nothing ever got fixed because apparently in the lease I signed they didn't have to repair anything!' She continued: 'We were just about to start filming Hacks again. And there Lena was in my DMs [direct messages]...That's when I lost my mind. Panic set in. Stalter said she doesn't ordinarily 'fan girl over people' but with Dunham, it was different. 'She's a creative genius,' she said. 'I'm such a Girls nut, and always felt so connected to her.' She added: 'Anything she wanted me to do, I would obviously say yes.' Dunham co-wrote Too Much with her husband, British musician Luis Felber, and the series is loosely inspired by their relationship. 'I think obviously the seeds of it came from our life, and then once you begin writing, you find out who the characters are and you take a journey that moves away from it,' she said. 'I always like to write from a place that begins with the personal, because I think personal stories are universal – and then see what it has in store for me.' Too Much follows Jessica, portrayed by Stalter, a New York workaholic in her mid-30s who relocates to London after a painful break-up. There, she meets Felix, played by Sharpe, with whom she shares an unexpected connection. Too Much is available to stream on Netflix from Thursday, 10 July.

A surprise from ‘demon of screamin' Steven Tyler, plus James Taylor's Tanglewood guests
An estimated 40,000 metalheads were on hand to watch the original lineup of Black Sabbath — singer Ozzy Osbourne, bassist (and lyricist) Geezer Butler, drummer Bill Ward, and guitarist Tony Iommi — do their thing, as only they can do it, one final time. (Osbourne, 76, is in failing health.) The band performed four songs: ' Advertisement A seeming cast of thousands took the stage throughout the day, including Axl Rose and Slash of Guns n' Roses, the entirety of Metallica; Tool singer Maynard James Keenan and drummer Danny Carey; Smashing Pumpkins frontman Bill Corgan; Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker; Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid; Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt; Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, and Sammy Hagar. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Tyler performed three songs, beginning with 'Train Kept A-Rollin',' which featured Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones on guitar. He then led the band through Aerosmith's 'Walk This Way' before closing the set with the Led Zeppelin classic 'Whole Lotta Love.' Tyler's voice held up for three songs, but it's hard to imagine he could sustain such a howl for a full show.
