Human remains found in search for missing actor

<p>Californian hikers have discovered human remains in the wilderness area where actor Julian Sands disappeared more than five months ago, according to authorities.</p> <p>Officials have not yet identified the victim.</p> <p>The remains were transported to the coroner’s office for confirmation, which is expected to be completed next week, <em>The New York Post</em> reported.</p> <p>Sands was reported missing on January 13 after he failed to return from a hiking trip in Mount Baldy, located about 72 kilometres east of Los Angeles.</p> <p>The search – consisting of 80 volunteers and officials – resumed on June 12 after a temporary suspension.</p> <p>Police have conducted eight ground and air searches since the actor's disappearance on the mountain.</p> <p>“Despite the recent warmer weather, portions of the mountain remain inaccessible due to extreme alpine conditions. Multiple areas include steep terrain and ravines, which still have 10-plus feet [about 16 metres] of ice and snow,” San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Office said.</p> <p>Sands’ family spoke publicly for the first time since he vanished, releasing a statement on June 23 to express their gratitude for the ongoing search and rescue efforts.</p> <p>“We are deeply grateful to the search teams and co-ordinators who have worked tirelessly to find Julian,” the family said.</p> <p>“We continue to hold Julian in our hearts, with bright memories of him as a wonderful father, husband, explorer, lover of the natural world and the arts, and as an original and collaborative performer.”</p> <p>Sands is known for starring in films such as Arachnophobia, A Room with a View, Warlock and Leaving Las Vegas.</p> <p>Mt. Baldy is renowned for being one of the most dangerous peaks to climb in California.</p> <p>According to the<em> Los Angeles Times</em>, six people have died with crews conducting over 100 searches as daredevils and avid hikers alike are drawn to the daunting challenge of the more-than-16,000 metre climb.</p> <p>In January, officials found hiker Jin Chung, 75, who had become lost on Mount Baldy and was hospitalised with a leg injury and other weather-related injuries.</p> <p>Before Chung’s brief disappearance, a mother of four fell more than 500 to 700 feet to her death.</p> <p>Crystal Paula Gonzalez, renowned as a “hiking queen”, slipped on the steep icy hillside and later died from her injuries, officials reported.</p> <p><em>Image credit: Facebook / Getty</em></p>

"As fake as they come": Oprah blasted by fellow Hollywood star

<p>The talk show queen has come under fire by fellow Hollywood star, Rose McGowan, who claims her “fake” persona hides the “ugly truth”.</p> <p>Oprah was well-known for her top-rating talk show but now she’s become famous for being able to get all the biggest names to talk to her about how they really feel – including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.</p> <p>But now she’s being accused of faking her support of the #<em>MeToo</em> movement by activist and actress Rose McGowan.</p> <p>Known for her roles in major movies and the TV series <em>Charmed,</em> McGowan posted a scathing tweet about the talk show queen, describing her as “as fake as they come”.</p> <p>“I am glad more are seeing the ugly truth of @Oprah,” McGowan tweeted, along with an old photo of Winfrey, now 67, virtually kissing convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein.</p> <p>“I wish she were real, but she isn’t.” tweets McGowan.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr">I am glad more are seeing the ugly truth of <a href="https://twitter.com/Oprah?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Oprah</a>. I wish she were real, but she isn’t. From being pals with Weinstein to abandoning &amp; destroying Russell Simmon’s victims, she is about supporting a sick power structure for personal gain, she is as fake as they come. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/lizard?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#lizard</a> <a href="https://t.co/RCuXNpWCU0">pic.twitter.com/RCuXNpWCU0</a></p> — Rose 🌊McGowan (@rosemcgowan) <a href="https://twitter.com/rosemcgowan/status/1432065449903153157?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 29, 2021</a></blockquote> <p>Herself an outspoken survivor of sexual assault, McGowan continues: “From being pals with Weinstein to abandoning &amp; destroying Russell Simmon’s [sic] victims, she is about supporting a sick power structure for personal gain, she is as fake as they come. #lizard.”</p> <p>Weinstein’s long list of alleged sexual assaults dating back to the 1970s was the catalyst for the #MeToo movement in October 2017, with McGowan being one of the first of dozens of women to accuse him of rape.</p> <p>The disgraced film producer, who has denied having “any non-consensual sex,” was found guilty of two felonies in February 2020 and is currently serving time in Wende Correctional Facility.</p> <p>Meanwhile, Russell Simmons has also been accused of rape and sexual misconduct by 20 women. The music executive, 63, has denied the accusations and kept a low profile in recent years, though he resurfaced in the Hamptons earlier this month.</p> <p><strong>McGowan’s tweet refers to an earlier documentary</strong></p> <p>It appears McGowan’s tweet refers to an earlier documentary which Oprah was going to be involved with. This 2020 documentary titled <em>On The Record</em> was centred around Simmons’ alleged sexual misconduct.</p> <p>While she was originally on board to executive-produce the project, she ended up backing out, citing differences with the film’s directors.</p> <p>In a statement, Winfrey said: “I have decided that I will no longer be executive producer on the untitled Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering documentary, and it will not air on Apple TV+,” Winfrey said in a statement to the <em>Hollywood Reporter</em> in January 2020.</p> <p>“I want it to be known that I unequivocally believe and support the women. Their stories deserve to be told and heard. In my opinion, there is more work to be done on the film to illuminate the full scope of what the victims endured, and it has become clear that the filmmakers and I are not aligned in that creative vision.”</p> <p><strong>Not the first time McGowan has accused a celebrity of ‘faking’ it</strong></p> <p>This is not the first time McGowan has publicly accused a high-profile figure of faking their support of the #MeToo movement.</p> <p>Last year, she hit out at her <em>Charmed </em>co-star Alyssa Milano, calling her a #MeToo “fraud”.</p> <p>The ugly Twitter spat occurred when Milano expressed her support for then-Presidential candidate Joe Biden and the Democratic Party.</p> <p>McGowan has long been opposed to Biden after claims he had sexually assaulted Tara Reade, leading her to label Milano a fraud and a liar.</p> <p><em>Image: Twitter</em></p>

Prince William and Duchess Kate comfort fellow parents at mental health event

<p>The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge met with the father of 14-year-old Molly Russell after the teenager took her own life.</p> <p>They spoke to her father Ian Russell, who has been campaigning tirelessly to help raise awareness about mental health ever since his daughter passed due to seeing suicide related posts on Instagram.</p> <p>William has previously put tech giants on blast as he believes they aren’t doing enough to prevent bullying and other problems.

Traveller shames fellow plane passenger for disgusting in-flight habit

<p>A passenger was grossed out after a man placed his bare feet on the in-flight entertainment screen, leaving dirty toe print marks on the wall.</p> <p>Taking to social media, American comedian Andy Richter posted images of the incident.</p> <p>He also provided an explanation as to how he managed to get him to stop.</p> <p>He wrote: “So I snitched this f***** out to the flight attendant, who told him to put them down.</p> <p>“Puts them back a few minutes later &amp; I asked him to put them down. ‘They’re your bare feet, man’.</p> <p>“He was shocked and put them down. When he just put them back up I decided f*** it, I’m tweeting.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet tw-align-center" data-lang="en-gb"> <p dir="ltr">So I snitched this fucker out to the flight attendant, who told him to put them down.

You could see the outline of his big toe, etc.”</p> <p>Andy then said: “The flight attendant came back right before we got off and asked him to take them down again.</p> <p>“Guy did and asked, ‘Is that like a just-when-taxiing thing?’</p> <p>“Attendant: ‘No, it’s a basic aeroplane courtesy thing’. Guy seemed surprised to hear that.”</p> <p>He also said: “And everyone around him was grossed out and appreciative that I said something but didn’t want to join in. ‘People are crazy. You never know’, one lady said.”</p> <p>Everyone seemed to take Andy’s side, as the responses were quite one sided, with one Twitter user saying: “What is wrong with people?? News flash: no one should put their bare feet up in the shared space of an aeroplane, or God forbid, on someone else’s armrest.”</p> <p>Another person said: “So glad we rarely fly. People are so disgusting.”</p>

"She did not like me”: Dannii Minogue's tense relationship with mother-in-law

<p>Dannii Minogue was once married to actor Julian McMahon, which seems like a lifetime ago for the star. They met when they were both starring on <em>Home and Away,</em><span> </span>but Minogue has shed some light on what their marriage was like behind the scenes, especially her relationship with her mother-in-law, Lady Sonia McMahon.</p> <p>Minogue appeared on <em>Anh’s Brush with Fame</em> and was surprisingly candid about her past.</p> <p>"His family did not like me. There's a certain social pecking order and I was definitely not in that scene. She [Sonia] only spoke to me a couple of times," Minogue explained to Anh.</p> <p>Things eventually escalated to where Minogue was banned from the house.</p> <p>"She would not let me go to the family house. Sometimes [Julian] had to go and collect something and I was waiting in the car out the front. It was as if I'd done something wrong to the family, but I hadn't done anything wrong," she admitted.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 0px; height: 0px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7827297/dannii-2.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/28e60f1d181641b481c3a0861abfa222" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Lady Sonia McMahon and son Julian McMahon</em></p> <p>Minogue also revealed that Sonia caused trouble at the wedding.</p> <p>"On the actual day of the wedding there was drama. [Sonia] said she wasn't going to show up, so that's quite stressful. Julian and I were going ahead with the marriage regardless.</p> <p>"So she did end up coming and was causing a scene … it wasn't the greatest … it was hard. I just tried to stay away from it, I just wanted to enjoy the day."</p> <p>The marriage lasted for 18 months, with the pair divorcing in 1996.</p> <p>The pair have both since moved on, as Julian is onto his third marriage after tying the knot with Kelly Paniagua in 2014, and Minogue shares 8-year-old son Ethan with her ex Kris Smith, and is in a relationship with music producer, Adrian Newman. </p>

Exciting news for Downton Abbey fans

<p>After months and months of speculation, hints and cast rumours, a <em>Downton Abbey</em> film has finally been confirmed. The big screen treatment of the hit BBC period drama, which sadly ended last year, will be written by <em>Downton</em> creator Julian Fellowes.</p> <p>So confident in the possibility of a movie has Fellowes been that he reportedly began writing the script prior to receiving the green light from producers. <a href="/news/news/2016/08/downton-abbey-what-happened-next/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Click here</span></strong></a> to read his thoughts on what the film might look like.</p> <p>Filming is set to begin in September, with casting announcements to come through as they are confirmed. Although, it seems likely that a few cast members are already onboard – last year, Joanna Froggatt (who played Anna Bates) said she’d <a href="/news/news/2016/09/joanne-froggatt-signs-on-to-downton-abbey-movie/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">“love to do it”</span></strong></a>.</p> <p>“I think everybody would. We're all willing to do it, and willing it to happen... As long as we can get everyone together, it would be delightful.”</p> <p>Phyllis Logan (who played Mrs Hughes) also <a href="/entertainment/tv/2016/04/mrs-hughes-talks-about-final-series-of-downton-abbey/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">revealed to Over60</span></strong></a> she’d be keen to be involved in a movie. “If they want me in it, I think it would be lovely to have one last hurrah, wouldn’t it?”</p> <p>However, it might be difficult to wrangle Dame Maggie Smith, who last year told Graham Norton she didn’t see how it would be possible. “By the time we finished, she must have been about 110. It couldn’t go on and on, it just didn’t make sense.”</p> <p>Only time will tell how the film pans out, but no matter what, we’ll be watching.</p>

Downton Abbey creator reveals what would have happened next

<p>It’s been almost a year since we said goodbye to the Crawleys of <em>Downton Abbey</em>, and if, like us, you’ve been desperate for more, you’re in luck. Julian Fellowes, the show’s creator, has opened up about what might have happened if the series were to continue, offering glimpses into what a possible movie could look like.</p> <p>When we left <em>Downton Abbey</em>, the grand estate was under a bit of financial strife, with the Crawleys (like many families at the time) struggling to reconcile the maintenance of such a house in a time where they were becoming no longer relevant. In order to compensate for this, Fellowes believes Mary (played by Michelle Dockery) would step in with an ingenious solution – opening the Abbey to the public full-time.</p> <p>“My own belief is that Mary, whether you like her or dislike her, is a hard worker, and she’s practical,” Fellowes explained. “She would probably have opened the house to the public in the 1960s, as so many of them did, and she'd have retreated to a wing, and maybe only occupied the whole house during the winters.”</p> <p>And where would the Crawley descendants be today? “[They] would still be there, just as the Carnarvons [owners of the real-life location Highclere Castle] are today.”</p> <p>Fellowes also gave us a glimpse into the lives of the youngest Crawleys. “George [Mary’s first son] would have gone to the Second World War, and of course the fear is that he would be killed,” he said. “As for the title, I don’t know where it would go beyond George, but let’s hope he gets through the war and has children of his own.”</p> <p>Let’s hope we’ll see some of this play out on the big screen! Tell us in the comments below, what shows are you watching at the moment?</p> <p><strong>Related links:</strong></p> <p><a href="/news/news/2016/05/julian-fellowes-reveals-details-about-downton-abbey-film/"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Julian Fellowes reveals details about Downton Abbey film</em></span></strong></a></p> <p><a href="/entertainment/tv/2016/04/mrs-hughes-talks-about-final-series-of-downton-abbey/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>Downton Abbey’s Mrs Hughes tells Over60 what it was like wrapping up season 6</strong></em></span></a></p> <p><a href="/entertainment/tv/2016/04/hilarious-downton-abbey-quotes/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>24 hilarious quotes from Violet Crawley</strong></em></span></a></p>
