Star-Studded ‘Roommates’: Netflix’s New Film Features Hollywood’s Rising Nepo Babies Like Sadie Sandler and Bella Murphy

A significant portion of the cast in Netflix’s Roommates comprises the offspring of well-known Hollywood celebrities. If any film could be dubbed a “nepo baby movie,” this would be a prime example!

Leading the charge is Sadie Sandler, the eldest daughter of Adam Sandler, who stars in this Happy Madison-produced coming-of-age comedy. She plays Devon, a college freshman on a quest to find a best friend. Initially, she believes she’s found her match in her new roommate, Celeste, portrayed by Chloe East, a former child star and not a product of nepotism. However, their budding friendship soon spirals into a psychological battleground.

Adam Sandler has been featuring his daughters, Sadie and Sunny Sandler, in his films since their appearances in 2010’s Grown Ups. Recently, the sisters have moved from minor roles to taking center stage. Sunny showcased her charm in the delightful You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah in 2023, and now Sadie shines with humor and relatability in the R-rated college comedy, Roommates, which just debuted on Netflix.

With Chandler Levack at the helm and a screenplay penned by Jimmy Fowlie and Ceara O’Sullivan, Roommates offers a quirky and entertaining look at the complex, often tumultuous dynamics of young adult female friendships. Not all young actors in the cast come from famous lineages; notable exceptions include Storm Reid, Ivy Wolk, Billy Byrk, Aidan Langford, and a surprise appearance by Megan Thee Stallion.

However, several supporting cast members do boast famous parents, including the children of Eddie Murphy, Martin Scorsese, Laura Dern, and Chris Rock.

Near the end of the film, Roommates offers a wink to its status as a “nepo baby movie” with one perfect joke. Devon gets her revenge on her terrible roommate, Celeste, by revealing to the student body that Celeste didn’t grow up poor, as she claimed. In fact, she’s the daughter of the CEO of Staples. Upon hearing this one of the students—played by SNL writer and avowed nepo baby Martin Herlihy—stands up, outraged, and shouts, “You’re telling me she’s a f–king nepo baby?”

In that spirit, let’s go over who in the Roommates movie cast is “f–cking nepo baby.”

    Again, Adam Sandler has put his daughters, Sadie and Sunny Sandler, in over 20 of his movies by this point. But though she had a supporting role in You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah, this is the older Sandler daughter first time as the lead. Honestly, she crushed it! I really felt for poor Devon. And though he produced the movie via his Happy Madison productions company, Adam Sandler doesn’t actually appear in the film. So, Sadie was flying solo… alongside all her fellow nepo babies, that is.

    Oscar-winner Laura Dern—who is herself a nepo baby, as the daughter of Bruce Dern—has two children with her ex, Grammy-winning musician Ben Harper. One of those children, 21-year-old Jaya Harper, appears in Roommates as a fellow college freshman named Olivia who befriends Devon and Celeste. For her showcase, Olivia demonstrates knocking down a controversial statue on campus. (It turns out the statue is not actually a Confederate soldier—he’s just riding a horse.)

  • Eddie Murphy’s daughter, Bella Murphy, as Emma

    Bella Murphy—one of ten children belonging to superstar comedian Eddie Murphy—appears in Roommates as Olivia’s roommate, Emma. Olivia (aka Laura Dern’s daughter Jaya Harper) and Emma become a foursome with Devon and Celeste, despite the fact that they have very uncool twinkle lights and Polaroids hanging in their dorm room.

  • Tim Herlihy’s son, Martin Herlihy, as Christian

    You know Martin Herlihy—who plays a fellow student and Frisbee golf enthusiast named Christian—as one third of Please Don’t Destroy, a sketch comedy group who are currently working as writers (and, in Ben Marshall’s case, a cast member) on Saturday Night Live. You might not know Herlihy’s father, Tim Herlihy, as a household name, but there’s no doubting his status as a nepo baby—Tim Herlihy is a former SNL writer-producer himself, and a longtime comedy partner of Adam Sandler, aka the guy who produced this movie.

  • Martin Scorsese’s daughter, Francesca Scorsese, as Ellie

    Perhaps you recognized Francesca Scorsese—daughter of legendary, Oscar-winning filmmaker Martin Scorsese—from her hilarious TikTok videos she likes to make with dear old dad. In Roommates, she plays Ellie, the leader of the college freshman orientation, which involves high ropes courses, scavenger hunts, and more.

  • Chris Rock’s daughter, Zahra Rock, as Lola

    The youngest daughter of stand-up comedian Chris Rock, Zahra Savannah Rock, briefly appears in Roommates as another college freshman named Lola. Notably, she gets kicked in the “titty” by Devon on the high ropes course during orientation. It’s extra cute that her name is Lola in the film, as that’s the name of Zahra’s older sister, Lola Simone Rock.

Michael Vaughan Criticizes Bazball Strategy: Advocates for Jimmy Anderson’s Inclusion and Calls for a More Grounded Approach

0

Seated just outside his birthplace of Manchester, Michael Vaughan reflects on the city’s motto, “Concilio Et Labore”—meaning “by wisdom and effort”—as a fitting philosophy for England’s cricket team. Following a difficult Ashes series, Vaughan urges the team to embrace this mindset to mend the fractures within English cricket.

Vaughan is in town to promote the Barclays Knight-Stokes Cup, a state school competition he initiated, which boasts participation from over 1,100 teams. Its grand finale will unfold at the esteemed Lord’s Cricket Ground this summer. As a vocal critic of England’s recent struggles in Australia, Vaughan is passionate about the need for a shift in attitude, despite the decision to maintain the current team lineup.

He emphasizes the necessity for wiser selection processes, advocating for the inclusion of high-performing players over the usual choices. Additionally, Vaughan calls for more meticulous preparation under Brendon McCullum’s management, suggesting players be allowed to bring their personal coaches to better prepare for Test matches.

Reflecting on the past, Vaughan notes how James Anderson, once sidelined with 704 Test wickets to his name, remains a strong contender for the upcoming series against Australia. Vaughan argues that Anderson, who has seamlessly transitioned to a captaincy role at Lancashire, is in top form, having already claimed 14 wickets at an impressive average this season.

“I believe he’s currently the best bowler,” Vaughan shares with Daily Mail Sport. Having captained Anderson in 21 of his 188 Test matches, Vaughan insists, “We should never dismiss anyone too soon.”

‘I’m not just saying it for a headline, but because England have to win that 2027 Ashes series. Just say that they have three injuries and Jimmy’s still bowling 83-84mph. Are you telling me you wouldn’t throw him in? Of course you would.

‘Last winter, when Australia needed to win a game of cricket, they picked Michael Neser, and look what he did (15 wickets in three Tests at under 20). I know he’s 36 and he’s a lot younger in terms of age, but I’d say Neser’s body’s probably worse than Jimmy’s.’

In the short term, despite the post-Ashes review demanding an onus on County Championship form when it comes to selection for the first home Test of the year against New Zealand on June 4, he believes there is only one position up for grabs in a team he says possesses an abundance of talent but lacks direction.

And that position belongs to Zak Crawley, who has begun the summer with scores of 9, 20, 26 and 5 for Kent in Division Two.

‘He’s not had a flying start to the season,’ says Vaughan. ‘If he’d have come out and gone 100, 100, 100, yeah, you’d have had another look, but I think it’s now time to move on.  If you want to be the best team in the world, your opening batter is not going to average 31 with five hundreds in 64 games. So, I think England have to look beyond that now.

‘What’s interesting to me is that players that have been mentioned before the start of this season as possible Test picks – Haseeb Hameed, Dom Sibley, James Coles at Sussex – have not knocked the door down. Yes, they might have had a little bit of bad fortune, but what I look for when players get touted for England is whether they then deliver for their county, because fundamentally you’re under a bit more pressure when the eyeballs are on you.

‘There’s still a few weeks to go, but you’ve got a four-horse race among the openers and I’m saying to Ben McKinney now, after his double hundred for Durham: Your nose is in front. He looks a talent. I like the way that he plays.

‘Asa Tribe, a player that interests me with the way that he gets over to the off-side and plays the safe game, working the ball to leg, is probably just behind him, then Hameed and Sibley a fair way back, but I can’t see any other opportunities unless they look for an English-style seamer like an Ollie Robinson or Sam Cook.’

Vaughan believes Zak Crawley's place is the only one under threat in this England team - and was not helped by a run of low scores to start the season with Kent

Any overhaul, Vaughan argues, in a week that the ECB oddly created more noise about last winter – releasing an in-house interview in which captain Ben Stokes insisted he is ’95 per cent aligned’ with McCullum despite differences of opinion on tactical approach surfacing Down Under – should be focused on preparation, not personnel.

‘Fundamentally, they’ve got to get away from this ‘vibe’ coaching – I don’t see any sporting team get better by just turning up and having a vibe,’ Vaughan continues. ‘England hate people for saying that because they say that they do a lot of work, but they don’t do the same amount of work as some of the other sporting teams that I’ve witnessed.

‘The talent is there but talent can only get you to so far in any sport, so they need a little bit more dedication to really improve the players technically. Mentally, they’ve got to accept that when the pressure’s been on in the last few years of this regime, they haven’t done it. India at The Oval last year – failed. Australia in the winter – failed. World Cups to date – failed.

‘Because success for this England group should be winning. They’ve reached the last five semi-finals at Twenty20 World Cup. So, this coaching group has done no better than any other coaching group. You’ve got to have aspirations to be the best in the world and from what I’ve seen, you can’t say that the organisation of the team has been what you would say is high performance.

‘These past 22 years represent probably the most successful period in history for English men’s cricket. We’ve been used to winning Ashes series. We’ve been used to winning World Cups.

‘This regime came in on the back of an environment that was created through Covid. What Joe Root had to deal with as captain was tough, so when they first came to power, they were brilliant in freeing up the players.

‘Where leadership is clever is realising where you have to change. You look at all the great football managers, they change – either personnel, the way that they play, or someone in their backroom staff to bring in a little bit of new energy.

‘If I was playing the game now, I would have my own dedicated batting coach with me, like a golfer turning up to the Ryder Cup. And on a Tuesday or a Wednesday before the Test match starts, I’d want my coach there. Rob Key (the ECB’s director of men’s cricket) would be open to that, I think.

‘I don’t see Jamie Smith (left) getting down and dirty every morning for 30 minutes, catching balls. But I saw Australia’s Alex Carey (right) do that’

‘I would want my players in the best state of mind, technically and mentally, for the Thursday start and if that meant bringing in Alec Stewart to work with Jamie Smith, or Bruce French or Jack Russell, whoever, so be it.

‘Social media clips aren’t everything, but I see so many clips from counties of coaches drilling the players and there’s so much more going on. Again, they won’t like me for saying it, but when I watch England on a morning, I don’t see any of that. I don’t see Jamie Smith getting down and dirty every morning for 30 minutes, catching balls. But I saw Australia’s Alex Carey do that.

‘If a player wants to bat all day on a Tuesday, do you know what? Let that player bat all day on a Tuesday. As England coach, that’s what you’re there to provide.’

Brittany Cartwright Clarifies Speculations on Cosmetic Enhancements Following ‘Mommy Makeover

Brittany Cartwright is candidly addressing the cosmetic procedures she underwent as part of her “mommy makeover” and discussing her openness to future enhancements.

“I don’t have any specific plans for more procedures, but I’m open to possibilities,” Cartwright, 37, shared exclusively with Us Weekly on Wednesday, April 15, while promoting the third season of The Valley. “I had my second breast augmentation filmed for TV, so any future procedures will be shared publicly,” she added.

Following the birth of her son Cruz in April 2021, Cartwright decided on a “mommy makeover” nearly four years later. In 2025, she chose to undergo a breast augmentation and a tummy tuck, later explaining on her podcast, “When Reality Hits,” that she was dealing with diastasis recti, a condition involving the separation of abdominal muscles, as well as issues like “stretch marks” and a “shelf.”

“I have not had a nose job or facial fillers, despite what some might think,” she clarified to Us Weekly. “If I had, I’d be upfront about it.”

Cartwright’s recent decision to undergo these procedures marks an important personal milestone. “This was something Brittany had considered for a long time,” shared a spokesperson. “Her ‘mommy makeover’ with Dr. Payman Danielpour and Dr. John Layke at Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group signifies a new and empowering chapter in her life.”

Ever since getting new breast implants and having a tummy tuck, Cartwright has felt more confident than ever.

“I feel so amazing. I’m so glad that I did it, you know, kind of just taking my confidence back, taking my body back,” she said on Wednesday. “I’m just so glad that I did it. It was something I wanted to do for a long time, and you have no idea what it actually means to me. I’m sure a lot of moms out there can understand, but yeah, I feel amazing.”

The Valley star went under the knife amid her separation from estranged husband Jax Taylor. (Cartwright and Taylor, 46, have yet to finalize their divorce and currently share custody of Cruz, 5.)

“Coparenting is not easy. We still have our issues, but Cruz does not see any of that,” Cartwright added to Us of her dynamic with Taylor. “There’s no toxic anything in front of him, no arguments, nothing like that. Cruz comes first to both of us. I love him, his dad loves him, so he’s always gonna come first, no matter what, and he’s just thriving right now, and I’m so proud of him.”

Brittany Cartwright Would Definitely Go Smaller During Next Breast Augmentation Is Waiting to Get Checked Out Until She Knows If She Will Have More Kids

Brittany Cartwright is opening up about her fluctuating relationship with her breasts. “I get comments and stuff about my breasts all the time and it’s so annoying because I had my boobs done, gosh, it’s probably about 10 years ago,” Cartwright, 36, said on the Friday, March 21, episode of her “When Reality Bites” podcast. […]

Cartwright’s life as a single mom is also chronicled on season 3 of Bravo’s The Valley. (Taylor took a step back from the reality TV series ahead of the new season amid mental health issues.)

“It’s so much lighter this season. I don’t want to go back into the dark, toxic stuff,” she teased of the newest episodes, which feature Cartwright diving back into the dating pool. “I think if I’m going to date somebody for real, be in a real relationship, like, this is my life. I signed up for reality TV. I know I’m gonna share my life. I’m an open book, as I always say, and I always try to be super authentic. Whoever I date will have to probably pop in and out … but it’s important to me that they would respect that, but I don’t want them to be, like, eager.”

The Valley airs on Bravo Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET.

Trump and Iranian Diplomacy: Ensuring the Strait of Hormuz Remains Open and Secure

0


BEIRUT (AP) — On Friday, a significant announcement came from both U.S. President Donald Trump and Iran’s Foreign Minister, declaring the Strait of Hormuz open for commercial shipping. This development comes as a 10-day ceasefire in Lebanon continues to hold.

The ceasefire provides a respite from the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Hezbollah militant faction, potentially paving the way for an agreement involving Iran, the United States, and Israel to conclude weeks of intense warfare. Despite this progress, uncertainty looms over whether Hezbollah will accept an agreement they weren’t involved in crafting, especially with Israeli forces maintaining a presence in parts of southern Lebanon.

In a message on social media, President Trump highlighted that Iran had officially stated the strait is “fully open and ready for full passage.”

Just prior to Trump’s statement, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi took to X to affirm that all commercial vessels could now freely pass through the strait, in accordance with the ongoing ceasefire in Lebanon. He noted that this openness would persist as long as the truce remained in effect.

However, questions remain regarding the status of the U.S. blockade on the strait. Trump clarified that the blockade would “remain in full force” until a formal agreement is reached between the U.S. and Iran to conclude the conflict.

Meanwhile in Beirut, barrages of gunshots rang out across the city as residents fired into the air just after midnight to celebrate the beginning of the truce, and displaced families began moving toward southern Lebanon and Beirut’s southern suburbs despite warnings by officials not to attempt to return to their homes until it became clear whether the ceasefire would hold.

A spokesperson for the U.N. peacekeepers in southern Lebanon said Friday that they have not observed any airstrikes since midnight, but accused the Israeli military of violating airspace and artillery shelling in southern Lebanon. The Israeli military did not immediately comment. According to the agreement shared by the State Department, Israel can act in self-defense against imminent attacks but cannot carry out offensive operations against southern Lebanon.

Trump heralded the deal a “historic day for Lebanon,” even as he expressed confidence that the war with Iran would soon end in a Las Vegas speech.

“I will say the war in Iran is going along swimmingly,” Trump said. “It should be ending pretty soon.”

An end to Israel’s war with Hezbollah was a key demand of Iranian negotiators, who previously accused Israel of breaking the current ceasefire deal with strikes on Lebanon. Israel said that deal did not cover Lebanon.

Pakistan’s army chief met Thursday with Iran’s parliament speaker as part of international efforts to press for an extension of the ceasefire.

The fighting has killed at least 3,000 people in Iran, more than 2,100 in Lebanon, 23 in Israel and more than a dozen in Gulf Arab states. Thirteen U.S. service members have also been killed.

Israel says it will keep troops in Lebanon

Israel’s hard-line Defense Minister Israel Katz warned on Friday that Israel plans to respect the ceasefire even though attempts to completely disarm Hezbollah in southern Lebanon are “not yet complete.” Katz said that Israel would continue to hold all the places it is currently stationed, including a buffer zone extending 10 kilometers (6 miles) from the border with Israel into southern Lebanon. He said that many homes in the area would be destroyed and Lebanese residents will not return to the area.

Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he agreed to the ceasefire “to advance” peace efforts with Lebanon, but also said Israeli troops would not withdraw.

Israeli forces have engaged in fierce battles with Hezbollah in the border area as they pushed into southern Lebanon to create what officials have called a “security zone.”

“That is where we are, and we are not leaving,” he said.

Hezbollah has said that Lebanese people have “the right to resist” Israeli occupation of their land and that their actions “will be determined based on how developments unfold.”

The U.S. State Department said that according to the agreement, Israel reserves the right to defend itself “at any time, against planned, imminent or ongoing attacks.” But otherwise, Israel “will not carry out any offensive military operations against Lebanese targets, including civilian, military, and other state targets.”

Trump announced the agreement as a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, but a Hezbollah official said the ceasefire was a result of negotiations between the U.S. and Iran. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.

Israel and Hezbollah have fought several wars and have been fighting on and off since the day after the start of the Gaza war. Israel and Lebanon reached a deal to end that war in November 2024, but Israel has kept up near-daily strikes in what it says is an effort to prevent the Iran-backed militant group from regrouping. That escalated into another invasion after Hezbollah again began firing missiles at Israel in response to its war on Iran.

Flurry of diplomacy led up to Lebanon ceasefire

The agreement came after a meeting between Israel’s and Lebanon’s ambassadors in Washington and a flurry of subsequent phone calls from Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, according to a White House official.

They were the first direct diplomatic talks between the two countries in decades. Hezbollah had opposed direct talks between Lebanon and Israel.

Trump spoke Wednesday evening with Netanyahu, who agreed to a ceasefire with certain terms, according to the official, who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Rubio then called Lebanon’s president, Joseph Aoun, who got on board. Trump then spoke with Aoun, and again with Netanyahu.

The State Department worked with both governments to formulate a memorandum of understanding for the truce.

Pakistan army chief meets with Iranian parliament speaker

Pakistan’s army chief met Thursday with Iran’s parliament speaker as part of efforts to press for an extension to a ceasefire that has paused almost seven weeks of war between Israel, the U.S. and Iran.

Even as the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports and renewed Iranian threats strained the ceasefire, regional officials reported progress, telling AP the United States and Iran had an “in-principle agreement” to extend it to allow for more diplomacy. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive negotiations.

Mediators are pushing for a compromise on three main sticking points: Iran’s nuclear program, the Strait of Hormuz and compensation for wartime damages, according to a regional official involved in the mediation efforts.

Trump suggested the ceasefire could be extended.

“If we’re close to a deal, would I extend?” Trump said in an exchange with reporters. “Yeah, I would do that.”

Minnesota Prosecutor Files Charges Against ICE Agent in Gun Incident; Savanah Hernandez Case Still Pending

0

The incident involving Morgan unfolded as part of the broader “Operation Metro Surge,” a federal immigration enforcement initiative that has sparked both protests and intense scrutiny in the Minneapolis area. On February 5, Morgan reportedly accelerated his vehicle, drove alongside another car on Highway 62, and pointed his official firearm at the occupants, as detailed by Moriarty during a recent press conference.

In an unexpected twist, while Morgan faces these serious allegations, no charges have been pursued regarding a separate incident where Turning Point USA reporter Savanah Hernandez was attacked. This disparity in legal action highlights the complexities and challenges within the justice system, particularly when federal operations intersect with local jurisdictions.

Mary Moriarty has responded to the situation by issuing a nationwide arrest warrant for Morgan, a move that underscores the gravity of the charges. As the case unfolds, it is bound to provoke further discussion about the legal boundaries and responsibilities of federal agents operating within individual states.

Morgan “sped up, pulled alongside the vehicle, matched its speed, opened his window and pointed his duty weapon directly at both victims,” Moriarty said during a press conference.

According to a criminal complaint, the incident unfolded around 4:20 p.m. near the Interstate 35W interchange as traffic slowed to a single lane. Prosecutors said Morgan drove on the shoulder to bypass congestion before pulling alongside the victims and pointing a handgun at their heads.

Investigators said Morgan was driving a rented SUV with no markings identifying it as a federal vehicle. Both victims said they felt threatened by his actions, according to the complaint.

Investigators said Morgan was not responding to an emergency at the time and told authorities he was heading back to the Whipple Federal Building to end his shift and get gas.

Morgan told investigators he feared for his safety, yelled “Police! Stop,” and believed the individuals were “agitators” who cut him off because he was a federal agent, according to the complaint.

Authorities have issued a nationwide warrant for Morgan’s arrest. He faces two counts of second-degree assault, each punishable by up to seven years in prison. Bail was set at $100,000, with conditions including no possession of weapons and compliance with all court appearances.

Blue/Bloomberg)

Moriarty said the case moved more quickly than other investigations tied to Operation Metro Surge because authorities were able to complete their work “without obstruction or interference.”

“Today’s charges reflect an important milestone in our efforts to seek accountability,” Moriarty said, adding that her office is continuing to investigate more than a dozen other incidents involving federal agents.

Prosecutors are also reviewing whether to file charges against individuals accused of assaulting Hernandez during an anti-ICE protest outside the Whipple Federal Building last weekend.

Protesters swarmed Hernandez while she was reporting, blowing horns in her face, yelling obscenities and shoving her as she attempted to leave, according to video from the scene.

At one point, a protester pushed Hernandez into a fence, and another later shoved her to the ground as she yelled, “Stop touching me” and “Leave me, I am trying to leave!”

Hernandez later said she suffered minor injuries, including scrapes and soreness.

A spokesperson for the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office told Fox News Digital that three cases tied to the Hernandez incident have been submitted by law enforcement and are under review for potential charges, though a timeline for a decision remains unclear.

The cases were submitted out of custody, meaning no arrests were made at the time.

The FBI has opened a federal investigation. No charging decision has been announced.

Fox News Digital has reached out to ICE and DHS for comment.

Trump’s Controversial Remarks: Calls for TV Presenter Removal Over Appearance

The President was reportedly tuned into Fox News’ program The Five when co-host Jessica Tarlov caught his attention, sparking his displeasure.

“I’m watching one of the least attractive and talented individuals on television, Jessica Tarlov,” Trump expressed.

“Her voice is so grating and unpleasant, I had to ‘turn her off!'”

“Her Democrat talking points are FAKE. She fabricates ‘Poll Numbers,’ and no one challenges her because she’s so dull.”

Tarlov identifies herself as a “liberal living in a conservative world.”

The Five typically has a series of presenters of differing political opinions to discuss issues to the day.

“GET HER OFF THE AIR, SHE IS BAD FOR OUR COUNTRY!” Trump demanded.

“I hear Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens are dying fast,” he said.

“Their numbers are terrible. Nobody believes them anymore.”

Trump’s attack on Tarlov is not the first time he has commented on the physical attractiveness of female reporters.

“Quiet. Quiet, piggy,” he told her.

He has posted angry messages about the judge who blocked his ballroom being constructed, New York mayor Zohran Mamdani, former counterterrorism official Joe Kent and the entire country of Italy.

“Italy wasn’t there for us, we won’t be there for them!” he wrote.

”While I didn’t know him other than our brief Dover encounter, but feeling sorry for him after the two Election losses, I told my people, ‘Hire him for the White House. Give him a job, make him feel good, he lost his wife and two Elections,’” Trump said.

“They did so and, while I rarely saw him, I certainly didn’t expect disloyalty, but that’s what I got.”

Disney Announces 1,000 Job Cuts Amid Market Challenges; Condé Nast Signals Potential Reductions

0

This week, The Walt Disney Company initiated substantial layoffs, shortly followed by an announcement from Condé Nast about potential similar actions.

A memo from Disney’s recently appointed CEO, Josh D’Amaro, unveiled on Tuesday, detailed the dismissals, revealing that approximately 1,000 employees would be let go, according to insider information.

D’Amaro attributed the decision to the “swift evolution of our industries,” emphasizing that the dynamic environment necessitates a workforce that is more adaptable and technologically advanced to address future demands.

Condé Nast’s CEO, Roger Lynch, echoed this sentiment in a memo circulated on Thursday, indicating a comparable approach.

Lynch noted that the company plans to implement “changes within our technology organization,” driven by the rapid progress of AI and its influence on their capacity to innovate and accelerate product development.

‘Teams will be restructured to be more agile and to work more closely with our brands and customers, reducing barriers to execution,’ he said.

The C-suiter said Condé’s long-running title Self will also soon close. A Condé spokesperson declined to comment.

Glamour’s editor in chief for the past four years, Samantha Barry, is also on the way out, she announced on Instagram.

The Walt Disney Company underwent a massive round of layoffs this week, affecting roughly 1,000 employees. The job losses were addressed in an email by new Disney CEO Josh D'Amaro

‘Sharing some personal news. After eight phenomenal years at Glamour I’m stepping away,’ the 46-year-old Irish media exec wrote.

Barry said that ‘as the title’s business model evolved,’ she ‘made clear’ to longtime Vogue and Condé Nast chief Anna Wintour ‘that this was the right moment to leave.’

She said that she was ‘pursu[ing] new projects.’

Self’s content, meanwhile, will be folded into Condé’s other brands, the company said. The magazine became online-only in 2017. Its content had centered around health and wellness.

Late last year, Condé folded Teen Vogue into Vogue.com after 22 years.

Chloe Malle was named Vogue’s new head of editorial content a few months before, replacing the legendary Wintour. Titles like The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, and Wired were once under her remit.

At the time, a New York Times op-ed acknowledged the massive media shift.

A media mammoth once known for its dominance was visibly on the decline, the piece observed.

‘People no longer read print magazines the way they used to,’ correspondent Michael Grynbaum wrote. ‘[Vogue] still is a global brand… but now there are thousands of influencers and social media channels where people get ideas about dressing and glamor and clothing and taste.’

Barry said that 'as the title¿s business model evolved,' she 'made clear' to longtime Vogue and Condé Nast chief Anna Wintour'that this was the right moment to leave.' WIntour is seen here with her new replacement, Chloe Malle, in September of last year

Disney, meanwhile, did away with staffers across its studios, TV networks, and product and technology and corporate groups, according to a Tuesday report from Variety. 

D’Amaro wrote the cuts will ‘streamline our operations in various parts of the company to ensure we deliver the world-class creativity and innovation our fans value and expect from Disney.’

Disney owns networks like ABC News. It has laid off more than 8,000 staffers since former CEO Bob Iger took the reins in 2022 once again following a short-lived retirement and disastrous CEO stint from Bob Chapek.

Layoffs have been widespread in media in recent years.

Competitors like Sony, Paramount, and Warner Bros. have made their own cuts.

More reductions are expected if Paramount closes its $111 billion acquisition of Warner. Disney had roughly 230,000 full and part-time employees in September 2025, Variety reported.

The Daily Mail approached Disney for comment.

David Beckham Shares Heartfelt Birthday Tribute to Victoria on Her Special Day

David Beckham celebrated his wife Victoria’s 52nd birthday on Friday by sharing a nostalgic photo capturing the moment he first fell in love with her, alongside a playful nod to the infamous Rolls-Royce incident.

The 50-year-old former soccer star turned to Instagram to reminisce with a series of heartfelt and amusing throwback images of the iconic Posh Spice.

Among the photos was a snapshot from the Spice Girls’ 1996 “Say You’ll Be There” music video, marking the first time Victoria captivated David’s heart.

He also included a charming image of a young Victoria standing beside her father’s Rolls-Royce, adding a touch of humor to the collection.

David’s playful side shines through, especially considering Victoria’s well-known comments about her working-class upbringing in his 2023 Netflix documentary.

David interrupted and told Victoria to admit that her dad used to drive her to school in  a Rolls-Royce – a high-end car.

Romeo was the first of Victoria’s offspring to take to social media to celebrate her day with a gushing tribute.

Sharing a snap of them both, Romeo penned: ‘Happy Birthday mum love you so so much have the best day @victoriabeckham.’

He also shared a picture of them together watching Sir David at one of his football matches when he was a young boy.

Days before her birthday, Victoria addressed her eldest son Brooklyn’s estrangement from the family.

She insisted that she and husband David have always ‘tried to protect and love our children’.

Whilst the magazine says ‘she does not reply with his name,’ the mother of four, 51, has, for the first time, spoken directly about their ongoing feud.

‘I think that we’ve always — we love our children so much’, she said. ‘We’ve always tried to be the best parents that we can be.

‘And you know, we’ve been in the public eye for more than 30 years right now, and all we’ve ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children. And you know, that’s all I really want to say about it’.

Brooklyn, 27, cut ties with his family in a scathing social media statement in January, declaring he has no plans to reconcile with his famous parents and accusing them of ‘controlling him for most of his life’.

Jim Parsons Reveals Why He’ll Never Revive Sheldon Cooper in a ‘Big Bang Theory’ Reboot

0

Jim Parsons has been profoundly moved by the significant influence The Big Bang Theory has had on audiences worldwide. However, he’s hesitant to step back into the shoes of Sheldon Cooper anytime soon.

During a recent appearance on The View, where he discussed his involvement in Broadway’s Titanique, Parsons was reminded of his 12-season journey on the CBS sitcom. Alyssa Farah Griffin described Sheldon Cooper as “one of the most beloved characters in all of television.” Although Parsons jokingly questioned why Sheldon holds such a cherished spot, Griffin prodded him about whether he misses portraying the eccentric scientist and if he might entertain the idea of a reboot.

Parsons was candid in his response, stating, “I don’t believe I would do a reboot.” He elaborated, “I can’t say I miss him, partly because, especially 12 years on a TV show where they’re writing for this specific actor, there’s a lot of me in that. Not the genius part, but there’s a lot of me in that.”

He went on to explain that many of Sheldon’s characteristics and his overall persona remain with him, and the actor still encounters a strong fan response to his iconic character.

“The longer it goes on, I’m more and more surprised when people approach me about it,” Parsons confessed. “Not because I’m stupid, but because I’m like, oh, it makes sense. But I’m just not thinking it. But it’s always really sweet.”

Parsons noted the slew of people that have highlighted the power of the sitcom in helping them navigate obstacles like “sickness” and “a bad time in life.”

“It’s very moving because when you take a job as a younger actor on a sitcom TV show, I don’t think many people think it can have some sort of bigger effect than that,” he said. “And that’s really sweet.”

While Parsons may not reprise the role in the future, he did return to the role for an appearance in the series finale of the Big Bang Theory prequel series, Young Sheldon. Parson also narrated and executive produced the series starring Iain Armitage as a young Sheldon Cooper.

The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
