Hilaria also spoke about her and Alec’s different parenting styles during the podcast chat. She said that she and her husband both wear different “hats”.

She further mentioned, “Alec and I are both extremely, extremely fiery. I know I’m like the alpha parent. There’s certain things that he knows he has to ask my permission for with them. You know what I mean? And so, it’s like ‘Oh, can they have this whatever’. And I’m like, ‘No. They cannot have this whatever’. (Or) ‘Can they go?’. ‘No. They cannot’. And then there’s other things like our social schedule where, like, he gets to choose that more. So, like, we have, like, our hats that we wear”.

Hilaria’s podcast interview comes after Alec opened about the most important thing he wants to ensure his kids grow up with.

Meanwhile, Alec Baldwin was involved in the fatal shooting on the sets of the Spaghetti Western film ‘Rust’. The involuntary manslaughter criminal case against Alec Baldwin for the Rust movie set shooting was dismissed with prejudice by a New Mexico judge on July 12, 2024.

Mumbai, July 29 (SocialNews.XYZ) Hollywood star Henry Cavill shared a glimpse of his passion for cooking as he spent an entire day preparing an elaborate BBQ spread, beginning at 2 AM with brisket preparation.

Cavill, who is best known for playing The Man of Steel on scream, shared a string of images from his BBQ and revealed that the brisket did not turn out exactly as planned, leaving him a tad disappointed.

“Big ol' cook on Sunday! 2AM wake up to get the brisket on, and results were mixed. Brisket was dry but had a really good bark on it. So I was unhappy but not totally unhappy come the end of the day,” he wrote.

The actor went on to share that he made a string of entrees including smoked buffalo chicken dip, burgers, and smoked bacon wrapped maple glazed carrots for lunch and many other things.

“Dinner was the disappointingly dry brisket, smoked honey butter cornbread, and smoked beans with bacon and sausage. My brisket sins were hidden by coleslaw, BBQ sauce and beans. All in all an absolutely beautiful Sunday spent working the smoker to feed my family and friends,” he wrote.

He shared that he dropped the ball on the brisket, perhaps “because of being over ambitious with an all day feed, perhaps by not managing my thermometer well enough at the end of the cook (I'm not sure I can even blame the beer here!!).”

“BUT lessons must be learned! That's the joy of BBQing like this! Can't get it right if you never get it wrong.....or some other cowboy-sounding, but mildly confusing wisdom.”

“Everything was oak smoked except the beans and cornbread, they cooked last so I could switch to cherry wood. Brisket rub was Salt, Pepper, Garlic. Ribs rub was a shop bought maple and molasses rub, with a BBQ sauce finisher on the smoker.”

Cavill has starred in Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League.

He began his film career in 2001 with a role in Laguna and later starred as Theseus in Immortals, as Napoleon Solo in The Man from U.N.C.L.E., as Sherlock Holmes in the Enola Holmes film series and as Gus March-Phillipps in The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

Mumbai, July 29 (SocialNews.XYZ) Acclaimed director Priyadarshan shared what he had advised former cricketer Virender Sehwag to make him overcome his hesitation about speaking in English.

Priyadarshan revealed during an exclusive interaction with IANS that as he was shooting a commercial with Sehwag, the former cricketer was facing some trouble with the language and then, the director had advised him to simply speak the language without fearing whether he was speaking correctly.

The 'Hera Pheri' maker told IANS, "I was shooting the second ad with Virender Sehwag. He had a problem with the language. So, he was a little conscious, and then I said, 'Speak, whether it is wrong or right, you speak'."

Priyadarshan further recalled meeting Sehwag after two years and by when, he had started speaking fluent English.

"He said he was forced to speak", he shared.

"So, if you are conscious that I can't speak, there is no other way. They all have to, because I cannot speak Hindi properly, but I can understand. I can even write and read because I studied it till the 10th standard. But I can't speak fluently," Priyadarshan concluded.

The 'Namaste London' actor said that he has always chosen to speak in Hindi, even back when English was often seen as more fashionable.

"In the ’90s, even if there was an award night, I always said that I would speak in Hindi. Generally too, I always speak in Hindi. Even at many of my conclaves, where there are English speakers, I fold my hands and tell them, you speak in English but I will speak in Hindi. That is my comfort,” Akshay told IANS.

The 'Houseful' actor further went on to state that language, for him, has always been about comfort and authenticity and not simply about perception.

Los Angeles, July 27 (SocialNews.XYZ) Acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan, who is receiving a lot of positive response to his directorial ‘The Odyssey’, has shared the names of the films he's too "terrified" to make.

The auteur has made films across genres including superhero movies, sci-fi capers and big budget dramas, but he's never directed a rom-com because he finds it "incredibly difficult".

The director also said that he is too scared to try a comedy because it's "one of the hardest things in the world".

Nolan recently appeared on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’, and said, "I think doing a rom-com would be incredibly difficult. I love watching those movies. But, no, I think people who direct comedy, people who do comedy, I think that’s one of the hardest things in the world to make people laugh that way”.

"Particularly the risk they take. When you make a film, you know, if I show a film to people and maybe they don’t respond to bits of it, I’m like, 'Ah, they don’t get it. Whatever'. There’s no hiding behind that when you do comedy. I would be terrified of doing anything like that”, he shared.

However, the director said that he is keen to turn his hand to making horror movies because several gory scenes in ‘The Odyssey’ have convinced him it’s a genre he would like to explore.

Earlier, the filmmaker had revealed what led to him taking up his epic film ‘The Odyssey’. The director said that he made ‘The Odyssey’ to try and escape from the "despair" he felt after directing ‘Oppenheimer’. The historical epic stars Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway and Tom Holland.

The filmmaker explained that he decided to adapt Homer's ancient Greek tale after covering the "disturbing" topic of nuclear war in the 2023 flick.

While the actor said that he’s fond of the movies, that hasn’t always been the case. The actor recently spoke with hosts Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett on the ‘Dish Podcast’, about the press tour for promoting his films.

He said on the podcast, “I’m absolutely loving it. When you’re doing press for movies you’re really proud of, it’s really easy because when they ask you questions about why should people go and watch this movie, you’re not lying to anyone. You really feel like people should go see it”.

He further mentioned, “I’ve had experiences before when people say, ‘Why should you see this movie?’ And in the back of your mind, you’re like, ‘You shouldn’t, because it’s sh**’”.

The actor shared that he is extremely proud about both the films, as he said, “It’s felt really like a bit of a victory lap, to be honest. I’ve really enjoyed it. I’m super proud of both of the films”.

“I’ve had the pleasure of sitting down with Anne Hathaway for the last three days and doing press with her. For me, that’s been an awesome learning experience. She’s such a pro”, he added.

Los Angeles, July 26 (SocialNews.XYZ) Actor Jason Lewis has opened up on the struggles he faced during the initial phase of his acting career. The 55-year-old actor and former model shot to fame in 2003 after essaying the role of Smith Jerrod, the model boyfriend of Samantha Jones (played by Kim Cattrall) in the iconic show 'Sex and the City'.

Prior to the show, he appeared in the HBO series, however, Lewis says he “starved,” barely scraping by for several months while living in Paris.

Jason appeared on the recent episode of Kristin Davis‘s 'Am I A Charlotte?' podcast, and told the host that before being cast as Smith, he went through a “six-month starvation period” after traveling to France’s capital city to pursue modeling.

At 21, Lewis said he went to Paris as a “young punk” with “no real intention". He shared that he traveled to the European destination with a “three-month ticket” paid for by a modeling agency, which he later “ripped up” and decided to extend his stay.

The host told him, “So you’re there, you tear up the ticket, it goes well?” Jason revealed that it was actually not the case, “No, I starved for a while”.

“I would case a bakery and steal a baguette, and then I would run”, the actor recalled with a laugh. “And then I would go to, like, an outdoor cafe and take a pot of their mustard and dump it on and then I’d have mustard-bread sandwiches for a lot of my meals".

He further mentioned, “I think my first, like, decent money started coming in about a year and a half later. So there was like a six-month starvation period".

“I could buy this one cucumber and this piece of cheese. It was easy to stay skinny, though, I’ll tell you what", he added.

He also “slept on floors” in Paris, he recalled, up until he “got a booking and started making money”, which got the ball rolling on his acting career.

Los Angeles, July 26 (SocialNews.XYZ) Actress-singer Jennifer Lopez's ex-husband, Ojani Noa has made some shocking claims saying she was "in fear of her life" because of the disgraced rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs.

The couple’s marriage ended in January 1998 after less than a year because of her alleged affair with Sean 'Diddy' Combs.

The disgraced music mogul is currently in jail after he was found guilty of prostitution-related offences. However, the two remained friends.

Ojani Noa, who is a personal trainer, has recalled how he came to the aid of the superstar following a row with the rapper.

He told ‘The Sun’, “It was the year she dumped him. We were still friends and we had decided to start over again”.

“He turned up to her assistant’s birthday party in Los Angeles, which Jennifer had thrown for her, and everyone was shocked. I went over to him and told him to leave and he told me to back off. He asked me who I was, to which I replied, ‘F*** you’. I told him he had slept with my wife. Jennifer got in between us. She said he would leave but he didn’t. I got upset with her and at the end of the night she got in his car and left. Everyone makes mistakes and deserves to be forgiven once. She had tried to dump Diddy before and he had threatened her and her family”, he added.

A few weeks later, he claimed JLo, who had an on/off relationship with Diddy from 1999 to early 2001, called him "terrified" after the singer turned up to her Los Angeles home and began screaming her name, which prompted him to head to the house for a confrontation with the rapper.

He shared, “She said she was scared and afraid so I instantly left work and came over. When I got there it was pitch black and I couldn’t see anyone, so he must have been hiding. As I drove in he started shouting and telling her he knew I was inside. That’s when I fronted him up. Jennifer was on the balcony and told me not to as she was worried”.

“She told me he had guns but I told him that I would f*** him up. She said she was going to call the cops but a neighbour must have called them as they turned up and Diddy ran away”, he added.

Los Angeles, July 26 (SocialNews.XYZ) Hollywood actress Jennifer Garner has shared that she was asked to not send her kids to soccer practice owing to her fame.

The 54-year-old actress appeared on the ‘Shut Up Evan’ podcast, and spoke about the overwhelming attention she and her then-husband Ben Affleck received whenever they stepped out in public.

The actress shared that the couple were hounded by the paparazzi, and it had a major impact on their family life.

She said on the podcast, "If I went through a yellow light, 15 cars would go through the red behind me. They would drive up onto people’s lawns, even on a hillside. We were trying to have our little one play soccer, and the association asked us to stop because there were 20 cars coming. So it wasn’t just about us. It was just an industry that had gotten out of control”.

She further mentioned, "If you show up and you’re trying to get into the paediatrician and you have a sick kid on your shoulder and you’re scared and you can’t get into the door because you’re blocked by photographers, there’s something wrong with that, and the kids are paying the price”.

The Weekend actress shared what was going on around her was dangerous, as she said, "It felt like, 'Poor little me, my poor little kids who have everything in the world,' but it was a danger to everyone around us”.

The actress shared that after so many years in the spotlight, she has developed an "odd" relationship with some of the photographers who have followed her for years, with her even going to one for help after they developed a mutual "respect" for one another.

"I have a very interesting relationship with my main guy. I mean, I've done anything to ask him to leave. And at the same time, we have an odd respect for each other. I don't know... we've had some really real life moments together. I was followed by someone who, for whatever reason, I thought was going to hurt me, and I ran to him because I knew him and trusted him, and I knew that he and I would be okay”, she added.

Los Angeles, July 26 (SocialNews.XYZ) Singer-songwriter Katy Perry has expressed her anger at the US President Donald Trump. The singer shared that she is "deeply appalled and angry" after President Trump used her song ‘Firework’ to accompany footage of US strikes on Iran.

A TikTok video in circulation teamed clips of military action with her 2010 single. The video was shared on the platform earlier this week.

The singer has said that she hadn't been consulted about the use of the track. She took to her X, formerly Twitter, and wrote, “I am deeply appalled and angry to see ‘Firework’ used on the White House TikTok as a backing track for video footage of military strikes. I did not approve this, I was not asked, and I absolutely do not condone it”.

She said that a song designed to promote "self-worth and upliftment" had been used on such a clip.

“I wrote this song to be an anthem of hope, healing, and inner strength for people going through their darkest personal moments. To see a message of self-worth and upliftment weaponised to soundtrack destruction and violence is a complete violation of everything my song stands for”, she added.

Earlier, the singer performed the song outside the Lincoln Memorial during the televised event marking Joe Biden's inauguration in January 2021. She has joined an array of stars, who have condemned the Trump administration for using their music in social media posts.

Last month, Ariana Grande slammed the President after her song Bye was used as the soundtrack to a TikTok video which promoted US immigration arrests with footage of ICE agents detaining and handcuffing people.

The caption read, “Bye‑bye. President Trump has delivered the most secure border in history”. Ariana fired back in a now‑deleted comment, as she wrote, “Please do not ever use my music in relation to this barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense. F*** ICE”.

Los Angeles, July 25 (SocialNews.XYZ) Hollywood star Jack Black said Maya Rudolph’s raw talent left him concerned that he didn’t have what it takes to make it in Hollywood.

The two friends attended high school at the Crossroads School for Arts Sciences in Santa Monica, where they were paired up for an improvisation class.

He told Far Out magazine: “I was really enjoying being king of the hill of the theatre department, and then here comes Maya, and she was just so funny and gifted and relaxed, and it really made me question whether I should even continue, like, that’s how strong she was.

“It’s like I was (composer Antonio) Salieri and she was Mozart, and I was so jealous that it kind of paralysed me,” reports femalefirst.co.uk/

Black also told Amy Poehler on her Good Hang podcast in April 2025: "She was like three years younger and she was so good at improv I actually got intimidated. And then I had a crisis and I couldn't do improv for like a whole year… ‘This kid is just a kid, and she's so much better than me, what's happening?!'"

However, Maya has credited Jack with being instrumental in launching her career, after taking her to her first show to watch the comedy troupe Groundlings.

Rudolph ended up joining the group, and was recruited for her career-making role in Saturday Night Live through her involvement with the troupe.

She said previously: “There's so much to talk about when it comes to Jack because I've known him since I was 14. I met him in school, and he changed my life for the better."

"You know when you find people and you both speak the same language? He was new, he was a couple years older and had transferred to the school, and I think my drama teacher was like, 'You guys should hang out. He coached me in an improv competition, me and a couple of girlfriends...Jack got me into the improv class early, when I was in eighth grade. You're supposed to be in ninth and he got me in.

"He brought me to my first Groundlings show when I was a kid, and showed me this whole world. I didn't even imagine I'd end up being there, and that would lead me to you. He changed my life... You feel so lucky when you have those moments where you had no idea you were going to meet someone that was going to be such a positive influence on your life, and he's such a great goof."

She said: “We just spoke music the same way right away. We both had a love for Bobby McFerrin, and I didn't know any 14 year olds that liked Bobby McFerrin."

Mumbai, July 25 (SocialNews.XYZ) Grammy winner Shakira has praised the underprivileged kids from Uganda who performed with her at the FIFA World Cup Finals for inspiring the world with their talent and infectious joy. She urged governments, businesses, and professionals to invest more in children.

Shakira shared a video on Instagram, where she’s seen hugging the children after the performance. She tagged them as a reminder of the immense potential hidden among forgotten children and stressed that every child deserves equal opportunities to thrive.

She wrote in the caption: “The @ghettokids_tfug have brought us their contagious joy and love, and have inspired us so much with their talent, to remind us that like them there are many kids who live forgotten, and who possess an enormous potential waiting to be unlocked and are just waiting for the opportunity to offer their best!”

“What could be more urgent for our governments, businesspeople and professionals, than investing in children? What has to happen so that kids around the world receive equal opportunities?” the “Queen of Latin Music” mentioned.

“Thank you to the Ghetto Kids of Uganda for awakening these questions in us and for transforming our lives with your magic.”

Shakira has had a significant impact on the musical landscape of Latin America and has been credited with popularizing Hispanophone music globally. Her accolades include four Grammy Awards and 15 Latin Grammy Awards.

Spain was named as the World Champion in the recently concluded FIFA World Cup 2026.

Substitute Ferran Torres turned out to be Spain’s hero as he scored the decisive goal in extra time as La Roja edged defending champions Argentina 1-0 to lift the FIFA World Cup 2026 title at the New York New Jersey Stadium.

After a tense and fiercely contested 90 minutes ended goalless, Torres finally broke the deadlock in the 106th minute. The forward latched onto Nico Williams’ headed knockdown before unleashing a powerful left-footed strike beyond Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez to seal Spain’s second FIFA World Cup triumph, their first since winning the title in South Africa in 2010.

The triumph capped a remarkable tournament for Spain, who went unbeaten throughout the competition and added a second World Cup crown to their historic 2010 success. Argentina, champions in Qatar four years ago, fell agonisingly short in their bid to retain football’s biggest prize.

The movie star cemented her status as a sex symbol by playing 'C.J.' Parker in Baywatch in the 90s, but Pamela didn't actually enjoy the attention that came her way at the time.

During an appearance on the How To Fail With Elizabeth Day podcast, Pamela explained: "I don't like being a sex symbol. I mean, I think it's not very sexy. I think we all aspire to be sexy in our relationships, but sexy for the world is, I don't know.

"It brought a lot of attention I didn't like, but I hate to say that because I'm not complaining, but I do feel that is a slippery slope where you are presenting yourself to the world like this and you get this attention back that."

The star has adopted a makeup-free look on red carpets in recent years, and the actress is embracing being "more natural".

She said: "It can be even scary at times, me not wearing makeup and me being at this age, coming into this part of my career, I felt it was important for me in my personal life, to be more natural.

"I want to challenge myself and become and to be present myself in different ways because women are many things. We're not just the wild animal between the sheets."
