Dermot Mulroney Pulls The Cord On 14-Year Marriage With Money Move
Dermot Mulroney's marriage life is getting a serious shake-up. The actor has officially filed to end his 14-year marriage to his wife, Prima Apollinaare, and he is not leaving any stone unturned when it comes to finances. Dermot Mulroney and Prima Apollinaare tied the knot in 2008 and are parents to two daughters. The actor was previously married to actress Catherine Keener before their split in 2007. The American actor beelined it to court with one intention only- to call it quits on his union with Apollinaare. Mulroney also requested that the court order his estranged wife to pay him spousal support, but he wants to prevent her from requesting such support from him. The TV star reportedly filled in the blanks for the standard dissolution of marriage. He is currently sharing custody of their two minor kids with his estranged wife. However, TMZ reports that child support and custody talks are lurking in the shadows of their divorce. As for their mailing address, the pair reportedly still shares the same Sherman Oaks address. When the singer and Mulroney initially met, she went by the name Tharita Cutulle. According to PEOPLE, by 2015, the songwriter filed to change her name to Prima Apollinaare officially. She refused to disclose her reason for this name change, but her estranged husband seemingly got with the program when he addressed his estranged wife by her new name, "Prima," in various interviews. In their professional life, Apollinaare and her ex have collaborated on a few visual projects together. The singer was also listed as a producing partner for Mulroney's 2010 biopic, which he directed. The former couple also shares a familiar sense of humor. For Mulroney, his first name always poses a problem for people, as they usually misspell or mispronounce it. Although Mulroney won hearts for his acting prowess, he carried a burning passion for making music, just like his estranged wife. Apollinaare began her career as a solo artist in 2017 and released the music video for her debut single, "Stand Up for Love," on YouTube in December of that year. Since then, Apollinaare has added one album, two EPs, and several singles to her music catalog on Spotify. Mulroney has tried his hand at music and even succeeded while at it. In 2023, the actor spoke about his reality as a professional cellist who had performed in an orchestra for several film projects. His resume includes "Planet of the Apes" and a few movies from the "Mission Impossible" franchise. The actor starred in the 1997 flick "My Best Friend's Wedding" alongside Julia Roberts, Rupert Everett, and Cameron Diaz. While the movie performed well at the box office, Mulroney claimed it spelled doom for his career for a year. Hollywood Reporter shared that the actor confessed he was waiting for the big roles to come his way due to the movie's popularity, but nothing materialized for a long time. "I chalked it up to me being so tiny on the poster, the little guy on the cake. I thought, gosh, you guys, if you'd made me a little bigger, maybe I could have gotten a job," Mulroney explained his coping mechanism for that period in his life. The star eventually bounced back from his trying time and went on to play more roles in other big projects. The 61-year-old began his illustrious acting career in the 1980, making his mark with movies such as "Young Guns," "Longtime Companion," and "Where The Day Takes You." His role in "My Best Friend's Wedding" introduced him to a broader audience and established him as a figure in Hollywood. He subsequently appeared in other projects such as "About Schmidt" and "Zodiac," among others. He was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award in the Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture category for his role in "August: Osage County" in 2013. In 1992, the actor won the Best Actor Award for his role in "Where The Day Takes You" at the Seattle International Film Festival. Will Dermot Mulroney and Prima Apollinaare's divorce get messy?

This move marks a significant change for the Cupertino-based tech giant in Hollywood and ends North Road's five-year alignment with Netflix . The agreement reportedly grants Apple first-look rights to upcoming projects from North Road. While new developments will prioritise Apple, Chernin Entertainment will continue to produce films already in progress for other studios. Notably, two of their films, Apex (starring Charlize Theron) and 11817 (with Wagner Moura and Greta Lee), are still slated for release on Netflix. Chernin, a prominent media mogul, has a long history in entertainment, previously producing hits for Fox such as Ford v. Ferrari, recent Planet of the Apes films, and the sitcom New Girl. In 2020, Chernin Entertainment began producing movies exclusively for Netflix, including the Fear Street franchise and Back in Action with Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz. According to a report by Bloomberg, Chernin sought a new studio partner, ultimately landing with Apple as the deal with Netflix ended.

A fine vintage: Nine of the most influential stars born in 1958
They've lit up our screens and stereos during times when music was bought on vinyl and films were rented at a video store. Several stars who have shaped popular culture were born in 1958, including Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince and Jamie Lee Curtis. What was it about that particular year that brought so much talent? We've selected nine who have left an impact, but know there are many more. If there's anyone from that year who you think deserves a mention, drop their name in the comments below. Read more in The Senior The filmmaker and producer has produced several films that have made us laugh, wince and be in suspense. He came to prominence with Beetlejuice (1988) and Edward Scissorhands (1990) and captured our imaginations with Mars Attacks! (1996) and Planet of the Apes (2001), among others. Musicals also took a twist in his productions of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007). More recently, he's directed several episodes of the Netflix series Wednesday and directed Beetlejuice Beetlejuice in 2024. Showing that girls can rock, Carlisle co-founded The Go-Gos, who had hits including Our Lips Are Sealed, and then went on to have a successful solo career with hits including Heaven Is a Place on Earth, I Get Weak, Leave a Light On and Summer Rain.

The American actor and film producer has moved us for decades in a plethora of movies and TV shows. His long list of credits includes Beetlejuice (1988), The Cooler (2003), Along Came Polly (2004) and two Mission: Impossible Films, plus a highly successful run on the series 30 Rock. Today he's starring in The Baldwins, a behind-the-scenes TV show of his family's life with wife Hilaria and their seven children, which can be streamed on Binge.

She's scared us out of our wits in films including Halloween (1978) and Blue Steel (1990). On the funnier side, she made us laugh in A Fish Called Wanda (1988) and won a Golden Globe for Best Actress for portraying Helen Tasker in the comedy action film True Lies (1994).

While she's taken career breaks over the years, she's kept in the public eye, with roles including Janet van Dyne in Marvel's Ant-Man (2015) and its sequel Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018). More recently, she has been announced to star alongside Nicole Kidman in the upcoming Apple TV+ series Margot's Got Money Troubles.

Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter's daughter Nell makes rare red carpet appearance
Nell Burton is all grown up. Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter's rarely-seen 17-year-old daughter made a rare public appearance at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition Preview Party on Wednesday night in London. Nell was joined by her famous mom, 59, as the pair posed for red carpet photos at the Royal Academy of Arts. 9 Nell Burton and Helena Bonham Carter at the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition Preview Party 2025 on June 11 in London.

Their son Billy, 21, was born in 2003. 9 Helena Bonham Carter and her daughter Nell Burton. REUTERS The former couple met while filming 2001's 'Planet of the Apes.' They dated until 2014 and agreed to joint custody after their split. Since Nell and Billy were born, Bonham Carter and Burton have made it a point to keep their children out of the spotlight. In October, Nell and Billy made a rare public appearance with their dad at the opening of The World of Tim Burton exhibition at The Design Museum in London. 9 Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton attend the Lulu Guinness and Rob Ryan Fan Bag launch party in London in Nov. 2010.

WireImage On the 'Therapy Works' podcast in Dec. 2022, Bonham Carter reflected on her 'painful' breakup with Burton, which she referred to as a 'divorce' despite the exes never marrying. 'It was a long-lasting thing. That's the other thing, it's not that finite,' she stated. 'It never ends. Even if you divorce somebody, it's a kind of marriage if you have children with them. The relationship has to change.' 9 Helena Bonham Carter at the 2024 BAFTA Television Awards. WireImage 9 Tim Burton at the 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards.

Roseanne Barr claims ‘God told me' to send 2018 racist tweet that derailed her career
Roseanne Barr is getting candid on the tweet that got her canceled from Hollywood. The actress, 72, starred in the hit sitcom 'Roseanne' for 10 seasons from 1988 to 1997 before the show was rebooted in 2018. The revival, however, was short-lived due to a racist tweet Barr sent out that year. Now, the 'Get Bruce' alum is doubling down, admitting she has no regrets. 6 Roseanne Barr at the 'Roseanne' Press Conference at the Four Seasons Hotel on March 23, 2018 in Beverly Hills, California. WireImage 'The way I feel about it is that God told me to do what I did, and it was a nuclear bomb,' Barr told Variety in an interview published on Friday, June 6. 'The day of my tweet, over 2 million Americans Googled Valerie Jarrett and the Iran deal. And that was my intent. So, whatever.' In 2018, Barr tweeted a picture of Jarrett next to Helena Bonham Carter and wrote, 'Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj.' 6 Roseanne Barr on Instagram. Instagram/Roseanne Barr The comedian noted to the outlet that she feels she posted 'the perfect caption.' 'I was already having nightmares about never going back to that show ['Roseanne'], and God woke me up,' Barr recalled about sending off the tweet that night while also noting again that she was on a mixture of alcohol and Ambien. 'I had my laptop there in bed, as always,' Barr explained, 'and I opened it, and there was [an X post with] a picture of Valerie Jarrett next to Helena Bonham Carter in full makeup as Ari in 'Planet of the Apes,' and they looked like Xerox copies of each other, so I captioned it.' Jarrett, 68, was born in Iran and helped facilitate the 2015 Iran nuclear deal under President Barack Obama's administration. 6 Roseanne Barr Getty Images Despite high first season ratings, the 'Roseanne' revival was canceled by ABC after Barr's tweet. Channing Dungey, ABC's Entertainment president at the time, said the Emmy winner's words were 'abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values.' Disney CEO Bob Iger said, 'There was only one thing to do here, and that was the right thing.' However, Barr feels otherwise, sharing that her tweet was not racist and for others to assume it says more about them. 6 The TV sitcom 'Roseanne.'

'Rod Serling himself said it's about the Jews in Germany. It is not a movie about Black people, Bob.' ABC then moved forward with the reboot but killed off Barr's character with a drug overdose and changed the title of the series to 'The Conners.' The sitcom ran for seven seasons before wrapping up for good in April. 6 The sitcom 'Roseanne.' Getty Images 'I felt very pissed off that they stole my rights and killed me,' Barr expressed. 'It was so stupid and shortsighted, and I don't know how they answer to their shareholders for canceling me before even one sponsor pulled out.' The hit show also starred John Goodman (Dan Conner), Sara Gilbert (Darlene Conner), Laurie Metcalf (Jackie Harris), and Johnny Galecki (David Healy). In May, Barr expressed how she felt the cancel culture mob came after her. 6 Roseanne Barr attends the Mr. Birchum Series Premiere on May 07, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. Getty Images for DailyWire+ 'They were waiting for me to slip up,' she alleged, confirming she was referring to the left-leaning executives at the network. Barr claimed ABC bosses were already on high alert about her support for Trump. 'They spied. They monitored everything I did,' alleged Barr. 'They wanted to censor me from the very beginning.' She also charged, 'They hijacked that tweet and made out it said something that it didn't.' 'I'm not stupid. I would never refer to a black person as the product of an ape,' Barr continued. Taking back her original apology, the comedian said, 'The worst mistake you can do is apologize to the left. Then they are on a crusade against you. Once you admit a mistake, they will keep on until you're dead.'
