Gigi Hadid might forgive her ex-partner Zayn Malik for the sake of their daughter, Khai Malik’s well-being, an insider claimed.
A source close to the former couple told Life & Style magazine that the supermodel is getting super close with the 31-year-old singer as she has been thinking of reconciling with him.
The tipster said, “They obviously went through a horrible break-up, but they’ve worked through things for the sake of their daughter and are getting along really well again.”
“Zayn has really mellowed out. He’s done so much growing up and is in a much better place now, mentally and emotionally. It’s such a relief for everyone in his life, especially Gigi,” the source remarked.
Moreover, the insider claimed that the 29-year-old model and Hollywood actor Bradley Cooper are crazy about each other, yet she’s still ready to settle her dispute with her former love interest.
Nearly two weeks ago, Gigi and Zayn celebrated the 4th birthday of their little bundle of joy.
The globally acclaimed supermodel threw a Baby Yoda-themed party for her little one and paid a heartfelt tribute to her daughter by sharing adorable photos on Instagram.
Notably, it is still unclear if the Dusk Till Dawn hitmaker attended her daughter’s birthday party.
It is important to mention that Zayn and Gigi parted ways in October 2021. They welcomed their daughter Khai on September 19, 2020.
For the unversed, the duo ended their relationship after a nasty dispute between the singer, model and her mother, Yolanda Hadid.
The now exes have decided to co-parent their daughter together.
Folie à Deux delivers a mind-bending twist in its gripping conclusion.
Folie à Deux reveals the Joker’s true identity in its “brutal ending,” leaving audiences questioning everything they thought they knew.
Identity confusion is a central theme of the film, and the conclusion of this sequel may come as a surprise to many fans.
Director Todd Phillips returns with Joaquin Phoenix, who reprises his iconic role as Arthur Fleck, a man spiraling deeper into mental illness.
The film opens with Arthur behind bars in Arkham Asylum, anxiously awaiting his trial for the murders he committed two years earlier.
During his time in prison, he revels in his celebrity status among fellow inmates and even the guards, including a sadistic Irishman played by Brendan Gleeson, who rewards Arthur with cigarettes in exchange for his jokes.
Lady Gaga steps into the shoes of Harleen ‘Lee’ Quinzel, a fellow inmate who’s on the path to becoming the infamous Harley Quinn in the highly anticipated sequel to Joker.
Arthur’s lawyer, played by Catherine Keener, attempts to argue that the charges against him involve his alter ego, the Joker, who is implicated in five murders. Y
Arthur renounces his Joker identity, only to be found guilty of first-degree murder.
As he faces sentencing, a car bomb explodes outside the courthouse, orchestrated by two mysterious figures who aid in his escape.
However, his freedom is short-lived as the police apprehend him and return him to Arkham Asylum.
In a haunting final scene, a young patient approaches Arthur, ready to share a joke. But instead, he stabs Arthur in the stomach, carving a smile into his own face as Arthur bleeds out.
This chilling moment leaves viewers questioning the true identity of the Joker: could it be that Arthur never fully embraced his villainous persona? Instead, he may merely be the catalyst for the man who eventually becomes the legendary Joker.
David Beckham donned his farmer hat once again, tending to his charming flock of chickens at his stunning £6 million farmhouse in the Cotswolds on Friday.
The former football star is enjoying a quieter life amidst the pastoral beauty of the English countryside, especially after recently splurging on a jaw-dropping $60 million mega-mansion in Miami.
Gifted the chickens by his wife, Victoria Beckham last Christmas, David has created a cozy hen pen for his feathery friends on their expansive estate.
The birds have quickly become a surprising source of pride and joy for the football legend.
In a recent post on Instagram, he proudly referred to one of his chickens as ‘handsome,’ showcasing the quirky charm of his new rural life.
He continues to embrace his idyllic countryside lifestyle, recently sharing a delightful clip of his chickens hiding among the plants with the caption: “Where’s Wally? Or Waldo?”
The former football star is not just focused on his feathered friends; he’s also taking on the buzzing responsibility of beekeeping at his stunning Cotswolds farmhouse.
On Saturday, Beckham checked in on his beehives, sharing a snapshot of the hives on his Instagram story with the cheeky caption: “Checking in on the sticky stuff.”
Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves spun off the track as he made his professional motor racing debut at a famous US circuit.
The star spun on to the grass without crashing as he competed in the Toyota GR Cup at the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Saturday.
Reeves, 60, came off the track on the exit of turn nine, a little over halfway through the 45-minute race, but got back on and continued driving, signalling that he wasn’t hurt.

It’s not the first time he has raced, as he previously competed in the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach celebrity race, winning the event in 2009.
A keen motorsports fan, Reeves presented the 2023 documentary series, Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story, about the Brawn GP F1 outfit, which won the driver and constructor world championships less than a year after being formed.

Prince Harry inherits Diana’s love for the spotlight.
Prince Harry may not be the royal son most commonly recognized for resembling Princess Diana, he has finally found common ground with his late mother: their shared flair for entertainment.
In a recent conversation with The Sun’s Matt Wilkinson, former royal protection officer Ken Wharfe noted, “Yes, they’re both entertainers.”
Wharfe reflected on Harry’s rise in popularity during their childhood, revealing that he often eclipsed Prince William.
“Harry was always the court jester as a child,” he shared, suggesting that William experienced a degree of jealousy over Harry’s charisma and charm.
“Part of the problem with him and his brother was that William was somewhat jealous of his popularity. But like his mother, she liked to be entertained; she liked to be popular.”
Since stepping down as senior royals in 2020, Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have embraced their new lives in Hollywood, carving out careers in the entertainment industry.
Harry and Meghan’s Hollywood Journey:
Since their departure from royal duties, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have dived into a whirlwind of projects, from books and podcasts to docuseries, branding themselves as a power couple while making high-profile speaking appearances.
However, former royal protection officer Ken Wharfe believes they have yet to achieve the level of fame and success they envisioned upon leaving the monarchy.
“I haven’t got a great deal of sympathy for them,” Ken remarked.
“Before Megxit, Harry was more popular than the Queen. He has a style that’s so unique, yet he thought he could do six months in and six months out.
It hasn’t worked out like that because the Queen wouldn’t allow that. He was certainly popular when he was in the United Kingdom.”
With the question of Harry’s potential return as a working member of the royal family looming, he shared his thoughts: “He’s still got something to offer.
It’s a question of how he puts it together with his wife and family to see if he can achieve some sort of comeback.”
Actor Adam Pearson, who has a disfiguring facial condition, wants to help others learn about such differences as he plays a man with the same illness in his latest film.
The British star, 39, has neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), a genetic condition that causes tumours, which are most often benign, to grow along your nerves.
Pearson, who made his acting debut in the 2013 film Under the Skin, said: “There are two ways to lose your anonymity in a society – to either become famous or have a disfigurement so I’ve kind of shot myself in both feet a little bit on that one.”
Image: Sebastian Stan (L), Renate Reinsve, and Adam Pearson in A Different Man. Pic: A24
But he wants to encourage acceptance of his condition and said anyone choosing to take a “vow of almost noble silence” to avoid a “politically correct minefield” can do more harm than good.
“Kindness goes a long way”, he added.
He stars alongside Marvel’s Sebastian Stan in the drama A Different Man, about an actor with NF1 who undergoes a medical trial that successfully removes the tumours on his face.
Made by A24, the film explores social norms and self-confidence and hopes to create a platform for open and honest conversations.

Co-star Stan, who plays Edward, the film’s lead, uses prosthetics to mimic the symptoms of neurofibromatosis and went out in public in character to see how people would respond.
He said there was “nothing more self-conscious or isolating than that experience.
“The recognition part is a similar concept of you being a public property just like it is you being different or being disabled or disfigured but it was 20 times the amount.
“You feel the energy shift and you feel the discomfort. And it informed everything for me from that point on”.
Image: Pic: A Different Man/A24
The actor, who plays Donald Trump in the upcoming film The Apprentice, said it made him reflect on how focused society is on physical appearance.
He said we often make huge efforts to improve our lives, hoping “something is going to change on the inside.
“But it won’t as long as you’re making decisions that are based on how you think people want you to be.”

“As I’ve gotten older, certainly I’ve been feeling more of a sense of responsibility towards what kind of work I’m getting involved in and I think one of those things is finding projects that I feel speak to towards something, that ask important, difficult questions and have filmmakers that are fearless and not afraid to go there,” he said.
Bryce Dallas Howard wishes husband Seth Gabel 44th birthday
Bryce Dallas Howard’s “shouting” the wish for husband Seth Gabel on his birthday.
The Jurassic World star took to Instagram on Friday, Oct. 4 to wish Gabel on his 44th birthday with a heartfelt post, featuring a close-up, heartwarming selfie of the couple.
“*shouting from the rooftops* I love you Seth! Happy Birthday Handsome,” Howard wrote in the caption of the post, in which she can be seen planting a kiss on her husband’s cheek.
Bryce Dallas Howard, daughter of renowned filmmaker Ron Howard, and actor Seth Gabel, known for his roles in Sex and the City, Salem, Big Sky, and American Horror Story, have been together since they first crossed paths at New York University in 2001.
The couple, who share two children—16-year-old son Theo and 11-year-old daughter Beatrice—celebrated their 18th wedding anniversary this past June.
Reflecting on the milestone, they shared a heartfelt Instagram post that read, “Married 18 years ago today,” along with a charming selfie taken in the picturesque Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris.
The couple got married in a Greenwich, Conn. wedding in 2006.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs infamously took a teenage Justin Bieber under his wing
Sean “Diddy” Combs once scolded Justin Bieber for almost exposing him on national TV during their 2012 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
During the interview, Bieber — just 16 at the time — discussed his bond with Combs, which the disgraced music mogul described as “like a little brother.”
Combs, 54, explained, “He’s not afraid to call and ask for advice. He’s a great kid, and a lot of us want to protect him.”
As the conversation continued, Kimmel joked that Combs should gift Bieber a car, to which the Baby singer responded by revealing, “He got me a Lamborghini, but I just haven’t gotten it yet.”
Looking annoyed, Combs responded with a warning, “He had the Lamborghini for a day or two and he got access to the house, and he knows better than to talk about the thing he does with big brother Puff national television. Everything ain’t for everybody.”
Their close bond was highlighted in a 2009 YouTube video where the two spent 48 hours together, with Combs telling Bieber, “We’re going full buck crazy.” Details about their time together were kept vague, with Combs hinting, “It’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream.”
As Combs now faces serious charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering, Bieber’s rep stated that the singer, now 30, is “aware of Diddy’s arrest” but remains focused on his family life as a father and husband.
Rachel Sennott got candid on the “freeing” experience of starring in Saturday Night.
In a conversation with People, 29-year-old Rachel Sennott opened up about her experience preparing for her role in the upcoming film, which captures the intense moments leading up to the first live episode of Saturday Night Live in 1975.
Sennott plays Rosie Shuster, one of the original SNL writers and the former wife of the show’s creator, Lorne Michaels.
She shared how immersing herself in Shuster’s story allowed her to gain a deeper understanding of the creative genius behind the iconic comedy show.
“I got to talk to Rosie, and she’s amazing,” Sennott said of the comedian, who penned for SNL in the ’70s and ’80s. “She’s so cool, and smart, and funny, and I think I’m going to meet her in person for the first time at the premiere.”
“Just talking to her on the phone, of course there’s still pressure,” she said, remembering her first interaction with Shuster. “But more than anything, I was just excited. Because I was like, I want everyone to know [about her].”
“This is my first time in a movie being like chill,” she quipped about representing Shuster’s story with audiences.
“I’m never chill. I’m always having a panic attack. And in real life, I’m always having a panic attack.”
“So, it’s so freeing to step into someone who’s so confident, and in control. And so, I hope she likes it, and feels seen. But I just wanted to share her story with people, because I feel like she’s such an integral part in making SNL what it is today,” the Bottoms star added.
“And I don’t know if everyone is familiar with her, so, I’m excited for them to see that.”
Donald Glover has cancelled the remainder of his Childish Gambino tour due to a health issue.
The American actor, comedian, and singer was set to head to the UK in November and early December to perform in Manchester, Glasgow, London, and Birmingham, as well as Dublin in Ireland.
He had already postponed the remainder of his North American tour last month to focus on his “physical health”.
In a post on social media on Friday night, he said: “After my show in New Orleans, I went to the hospital in Houston to make sure of an ailment that had become apparent.
“After being assessed, it became clear I would not perform that night, and after more tests, I could not perform the rest of the US tour in the time asked.
“As of now I have surgery scheduled and need time out to heal.”
The star did not say what the surgery was for.

“My path to recovery is something I need to confront seriously,” he said.
“With that said, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of the North American tour and the UK and European dates. Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase.
“I want nothing more than to bring this show to the fans and perform. Until then, thanks for love, privacy, and support,” he added.
Fans responded to his post on X by wishing him “a speedy recovery”, with those who had made it to the earlier shows of the tour saying how “lucky” they were.
The 41-year-old Emmy and Grammy winner, who performs under the stage name Donald Glover, also directs, writes, produces and DJs.
His political single, This Is America, which sparked debate about gun violence in the US, reached number 6 in the UK charts in 2018.
Harry Potter star’s secluded home raided in 13M drug bust
Harry Potter star’s secluded home was raided by the police after it was found to be serving as a landing spot for helicopters carrying drugs.
The property owned by the 83-year-old actress, Miriam Margolyes, who portrayed the role of Professor Sprout in the films, was ‘horrified’ after discovering that her secluded property had become a foiled plot by several drug lords.
During an exclusive interview on The Graham Norton Show back in 2020, the actress reflected on the ordeal, garnering attention from people all over the world.
Recounting an instance from the past, she recalled, “One day I got a call from the police and they said ‘are the owner of the Gun Emplacement?’ and I said ‘yes’.
“And they said ‘are you aware it’s been used as a drop for criminals to get rid of their drugs? It’s a drug drop’. And I said ‘of course I didn’t know, what do you mean,'” she quipped.
Referring to herself as ‘Mirium Escobar,’ she made a witty remark about how the public perceives her as being silently approving of something, simply because she’s in the spotlight.
Presenter Stephen Mulhern says he is “absolutely mortified” to learn that tenants in a bungalow he owns in Leicester have been living in damp and mouldy conditions.
The 47-year-old star owns a property firm called JFDI Productions, which rents out several houses and is worth over £4m according to company filings.
One of the tenants shared images of a bungalow he rents in Leicester, showing mould on walls and ceilings throughout the home, with the Big Issue.
Speaking to the street paper, the man, who wished to remain anonymous, said he felt “bitter and alienated” after living with damp and mould in the property for two years.
He said he and his flatmate began noticing a damp problem during an annual inspection with the management agent, Connells, a couple of years ago.
The pair – who were both key workers during COVID – said they pay £775 for the house per month.
Despite saying they complained to the management agency about the issue multiple times since then, they say no action has been taken, with the damp affecting rooms throughout the house.

They said the agent had advised they “ventilate the properly and keep the house warm during the winter,” but the situation had continued to worsen.
“We remained patient, sending polite emails at first. In later conversations, my remarks became a bit sharper,” he said.
Although they said high humidity readings in the house had eventually persuaded the management agency to install “a positive input ventilation system”, they said that had only temporarily improved conditions.
The tenant described Mulhern as “a millionaire, profiting off our misery”.

‘Absolutely mortified’ about the ‘unacceptable’ situation
Responding to news of the state of the home, a representative for Mulhern told Sky News the presenter was “absolutely mortified to learn about this situation and the awful experience the tenant has faced which is clearly unacceptable”.
They said he had not been made aware of any of the issues and had relied entirely on the company that manage the property on his behalf.
They said he has now “personally requested for a team of damp specialists to visit the property to make sure that the problems with the ventilation and mould are resolved as a matter of urgency”.

Additionally, they confirmed the tenant had been contacted “to express sincere apologies for the distress and frustration the management of this matter has caused”.
They said the situation “falls way below the standards Stephen expects and he is doing everything possible to remedy this ASAP, and this process is already under way”.
A representative for Connells told Sky News: “As agents we work on behalf of the landlord and we continue to work with the landlord’s representative to address the issues raised’.”
Mulhern, who was announced as co-presenter of Dancing On Ice last year replacing Philip Schofield, will front the new series of the show alongside Holly Willoughby when it kicks off in January.
Country music star Garth Brooks has been accused of rape and sexual assault in a lawsuit filed by his former hair and make-up artist.
The woman, who does not use her name in the lawsuit and goes by Jane Roe, claims the assault occurred when she travelled from Nashville to Los Angeles with the singer, who was performing at the 2019 Grammy Awards.
The lawsuit – filed on Thursday in the Los Angeles Superior Court – alleges that despite Brooks normally travelling with an entourage, she and Brooks flew alone to the event on his private jet, and that he had booked just one hotel suite for both of them.
The woman claims that in the suite, he appeared naked in the doorway to the bedroom and raped her.
Representatives for Brooks have so far refused to comment.

The suit goes on to say Books proceeded as though nothing had happened and expected her to do his hair and make-up immediately after.
The woman further alleges that earlier in that same year, when she was at Brooks’ home, he had appeared naked in front of her, grabbed her hands, and put them on his genitals.
Pre-empting the allegations, Brooks allegedly filed a separate lawsuit in federal court in Mississippi last month in which both him and the woman were anonymous, Thursday’s lawsuit claims.
In court filings in that case, the plaintiff, named as John Doe, said the allegations were “wholly untrue”, and he first learned of them in July when she threatened to publicly sue him unless he gave her millions of dollars.
He asked a judge to stop the woman from “intentional infliction of emotional distress, defamation and false light invasion of privacy”.
The lawsuit by Jane Roe claims that on top of the two described incidents, Brooks exposed himself to her on many other occasions, talked about sexual fantasies with her and sent her explicit text messages.
She says she was forced to keep working for him because of financial hardship, which he knew about and took advantage of.
The unnamed claimant is believed to have also worked for Brooks’ wife, fellow country singer Trisha Yearwood, since 1999.

Oklahoma-born Brooks, 62, was the biggest star in country music of the 1990s, with hits including Friends In Low Places and The Thunder Rolls.
He remains the number one-selling individual artist in US history with 20 Billboard no 1 singles and 157 million record sales, according to his official website.
In March this year, he finished a residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas.
Tom Selleck on ‘frustrated’ on CBS’ cancellation of ‘Blue Bloods’
Tom Selleck is certainly not happy with CBS’ decision to end his longtime TV cop drama, Blue Bloods.
After the network announced that the hit series will see it’s end this fall last year, the 79-year-old opened up on why he is entirely onboard with the decision.
“I’m kind of frustrated,” the series’ star got candid in an interview with TV Insider, when asked how does he “feel now that Blue Bloods is over.”
“During those last eight shows, I haven’t wanted to talk about an ending for Blue Bloods but about it still being wildly successful,” Selleck, who according to the outlet, has “been vocal about not wanting the show to end after the 14th season,” said.
“In a Top 100 Shows of 2023-2024 (in total viewers, we were number 9 out of 100), if you discount the three football shows, we’re #6 !” he exclaimed.
“I’m not going to turn into a bitter old guy saying, ‘Get off my lawn!’ I don’t believe in holding grudges, but if you were to say to the television network, ‘Here’s a show you can program in the worst time slot you got, and it is going to guarantee you winning Friday night for the next 15 years,’ it would be almost impossible to believe.”
Selleck also shared why he thinks that the show was never given the value it deserved.
“My frustration is the show was always taken for granted because it performed from the get-go. So how do I feel? It’s going to take a long time to sort all of this out,” he said.
He further continued, “I remember after the weekend [of the final episode’s shoot], I said, “I’ve got to get to bed early tonight because I have to do my dialogue for Monday.’” Well, there was no Monday. It’s just going to take a while.”
Noel Gallagher has made a surprise appearance at the Abbey Road Music Photography Awards to honour “one of my best friends” Jill Furmanovsky with a special icon award.
The Oasis star described the music photographer, who has captured some of the world’s biggest stars on camera in a career spanning more than 50 years, as the “best ever”.
Furmanovsky’s subjects include everyone from Stevie Wonder, Pink Floyd, and Bob Dylan, to Blondie, Kate Bush, and Billie Eilish. She started working with Oasis in the 1990s and continued to photograph the band and Gallagher over the years.
“She’s a very, very dear friend of mine… and it’s been an honour to have been associated with her for 30 years,” Gallagher said on stage at the event at Abbey Road Studios in London. “I can only say that she is as lovely as she seems, she’s one of my best friends, and I adore her.”
Furmanovsky told the audience she was “so overwhelmed” to be honoured as a photography icon, especially as she had not been aware the star would be presenting the prize.

‘They were on a comet, hanging on for dear life’
Speaking to Sky News earlier on, she said her body of work with Oasis is the one she is most proud of.
“I was just the right age to be working with them – I was experienced, I wasn’t intimidated,” she said.
“They were so fantastic. It was just a time when they were sort of on a comet, hanging on for dear life, and I felt like I could actually offer something in the way of my experience… they allowed me to be close to them, which was just incredible as a gift.”
Furmanovsky said her first reaction was to feel “bemused” when she heard about the Oasis reunion announcement earlier this year “as there was so much against it… and it just didn’t seem like it was going to happen”.
The big question, then: did she get a ticket?
“I couldn’t get tickets,” she laughs. “I tried to… they’ll let me in, though. They’re going to let me otherwise I’m going to go to [the Gallaghers’ mum] Peggy.”
Joking aside, Furmanovsky said she would “absolutely” be there to photograph what will be history-making shows. “I’ve got to do it, haven’t I?”

On being named an icon and receiving the award at the legendary Abbey Road Studios, Furmanovsky said: “I really don’t have words for it. When I was a teenager, I used to stand outside with my autograph book waiting to see the Beatles…
“I once took a picture of Paul McCartney with a Kodak Instamatic; I once wrote a letter saying, ‘could I come into Abbey Road for my school magazine?’ Which of course, they said no. I finally came here in the 1970s with Pink Floyd, I was allowed in. It was holy ground to me. And since then, I’ve come many, many times. It’s like a second home. It’s an iconic place.”
As well as the icon prize, awards were handed out for live music photography, music portraiture and musical moments. Among the winners were Tom Pallant, for his picture capturing a guitar thrown high into the air over Wembley Stadium by Blur’s Graham Coxon, and Frances Mancini, for a fiery picture of DJ and producer Darren Styles.
Winners were chosen from some 22,000 images entered, with Rankin leading the judges.
Tom Selleck admitted that he will “miss” Blue Bloods after the series’ end this fall.
Blue Bloods aired on CBS for over a decade, premiering in 2010 and running for 14 successful seasons.
When asked in an interview with Tv Insider what he will miss the most about the show, the actor answered, “The actors. The family of actors is as close as the Reagan family and the characters that they play.”
“There’s isn’t a single one of them who didn’t want to come back. Most shows don’t end that way — there’s petty jealousy and all sorts of things– and we seemed to overcome that. It’s something for everybody to hang their hats on and be proud of,” he added.
Throughout the series’ run, Tom Selleck, who is “frustrated” with CBS’ decision to cancel the show, portrayed the steadfast and honourable Police Commissioner Frank Reagan, the head of the Reagan family and a pillar of the New York City Police Department.
His portrayal of Frank, a character committed to upholding justice while navigating family dynamics, became one of the show’s defining features and resonated deeply with fans.
A film about “The Iceman” Wim Hof has been put on hold after his former partner alleged he subjected her and her children to years of abuse.
It follows allegations in the Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant on Saturday that Hof physically and psychologically abused his ex-girlfriend, their son, and her two eldest children for thirteen years.
Hof, 65, has denied all allegations, has said he “is not violent,” and claimed his ex is on “the warpath” and “now wants to make it all seem different than it was”.
He has since filed a complaint for alleged defamation and slander.
Hof’s eldest son, Enahm Hof, who was mentioned in the article, said in a statement given to The Guardian newspaper that the allegations of abuse were “entirely false,” calling them “grossly exaggerated” and “deeply hurtful”.
He said his father “did not recognise” many of the accusations mentioned in the Dutch paper.
Sky News has reached out to representatives for Hof for comment.
The movie biopic had been set to star Joseph Fiennes as the eccentric health guru, who gained worldwide prominence for his love of cold-water training. Fiennes was also listed as a co-producer.
The British production company behind the film said in a statement: “Genesius Pictures can confirm that due to the severity of the allegations, this production, which was in development only and had not begun filming, is on hold”.
The film also had director Kevin Macdonald and screenwriter Jeff Pope attached, and was set to explore Hof’s rise to fame from a struggling single father and postman to a world-famous health guru, with a legion of celebrity fans.
Titled The Iceman, it was announced in 2022, and had previously been billed as an “inspiring”, “moving” and “at times very funny”.
The website for the film has since been taken offline.
Born in the Netherlands, Hof, was one of nine children and has an identical twin brother. He is a father of four.
His first wife took her own life in 1995, with Hof previously saying his time spent in freezing water was the only time he didn’t think about the loss.
In 2007, Hof completed an Arctic marathon barefoot, but the same year had to abort a mission to climb Mount Everest wearing just shorts and sandals due to a foot injury.
Despite his fame and legion of celebrity fans, there has been controversy over his method of using freezing water and breathing techniques to improve health.
Family members of a number of people who died while allegedly attempting Hof’s methods have previously raised concerns over the safety of the wellness trend.
While the NHS says cold therapy can help reduce swelling and pain, it also says it can cause cold shock, which can lead to hyperventilation, increased blood pressure, and muscle weakness. It warns that it can be dangerous for people with heart conditions.
Joaquin Phoenix’s ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ gets 56% score on Rotten Tomatoes
Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga’s upcoming film Joker: Folie à Deux had all eyes after the success of the first Joker film released in 2019.
But unfortunately, Joker 2 turned out no less than a disappointment to for the viewers.
The second part of Joker shows Arthur Fleck, played by Joaquin, who is a patient admitted to the Arkham State Hospital expecting trials for the five murders he committed in the previous film.
Even though, the harmonious thriller comprises of a compilation album and a collection of extremely beautiful outfits, but the story failed to impress the viewers.

The Nicholas Barber from BBC wrote: “Depending on how you look at it, this demythologizing exercise is either daring or it’s irritatingly smug, but it’s definitely not much fun.”
On the other hand, Vanity Fair’s Richard Lawson thinks: “It’s startlingly dull, a pointless procedural that seems to disdain its audience”, reports Metro.co.uk.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs looks forward to prove his innocence in court, rep informs
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ case seemingly got worse for the the rapper as 120 more victims emerged, including a nine-year-old boy.
Following the allegations, the rapper’s lawyer released a statement denying the new claims.
He said, Combs, who is currently arrested at New York City detention centre, “cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus.”
The new allegations were made by the Texas based lawyer, Tony Buzbee, who is representing the victims against Combs. The 54-year-old rapper was arrested last month, on the charges of sex trafficking, engagement in prostitution, and sexual assault.
The 120 new victims were revealed by Buzbee on Tuesday, October 1st, in a press conference. The lawyer claimed that 25 out of the 120 alleged victims were underage when the assault happened, and that the cases span over the past 25 years.
Buzbee shared that the youngest victims were aged 9, 14, and 15, at the conference in Houston, Texas.
Highlighting one of the cases of a minor, the lawyer revealed that the victim was only nine years old when he was taken to an audition in New York City with Bad Boy Records.
“This individual was sexually abused allegedly by Sean Combs and several other people at the studio in the promise to both his parents and to him himself of getting a record deal.”
The lawyer continued, “Other boys were there to audition as well. All of them were trying to land a record deal. All of them were minors.”
When asked for comment upon new allegations, a spokesperson for Combs told The Mirror, “As Mr Combs’ legal team has emphasised, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus.”
“That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors,” the rep shared.
“He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.”
Meanwhile, Buzbee has encouraged others to speak up and report crimes against Combs if they have been his victims.
