Cynthia Nixon opens up on 'intense' relationship with her And Just Like That... co-stars
Cynthia Nixon has an "intense" friendship with her 'And Just Like That...' co-stars.
The 59-year-old actress has reprised her role as Miranda Hobbes in the 'Sex and the City' spin-off and explained that bond with co-stars Kristin Davis and Sarah Jessica Parker is all a result of how long they have all been working together.
She told People: "I just think the longevity, I mean the intensity of it, but also the longevity of it, because there's something about knowing and loving a person, but then when you know them for so long, you know their children and their parents and their spouses and their friends.
"When you understand somebody in their complete context, I feel like that's when you really know them."
Meanwhile, actress - who starred on 'Sex and the City' throuhgout its original run from 1998 until 2004 and has appeared on the spin-off since its inception in 2021 - recently saw her alter-ego have a dalliance with a character played by Rosie O'Donnell, and explained that the writers had been trying to get the famed comedienne on board for years.
"Michael Patrick King, who writes our show, and is one of the chief writers on our show, has been trying to write a part for Rosie every season and it's never quite worked out.
She said: "So this time when he told me what the idea was, I thought, 'Oh this is fantastic, and he let me text her myself and describe it and say, you know, could we please send you this script?' With all our fingers and toes crossed.'
"She is so funny and she is so funny in the part, but she's so centered and so real.
"I think that we knew she would be hilarious, but I think we were unprepared for how moving she would be in the part, how incredibly sincere and how much she would wear her heart on her sleeve."

Halle Bailey's ex DDG claims she is a 'psychological risk' to their baby son
DDG has asked the court to stop Halle Bailey from travelling internationally with their son. The 27-year-old streamer has filed a motion requesting an emergency hearing to restrict the 'Little Mermaid' star from taking their 17-month-old boy Halo to Italy for work. In court documents obtained by PEOPLE magazine and other outlets, he accused Bailey of being an "an imminent emotional and psychological risk to the minor child based on repeated, documented threats of self-harm". He alleged that if Halo left the country, the child wouldn't have the protections of the court or any "emergency intervention mechanisms". DDG - whose real name is Daryl Dwayne Granberry Jr. - has claimed his 25-year-old ex has made "repeated threats of suicide and self-harm". He also alleged that she "routinely used emotional coercion and manipulation to exert her control over me, often threatening me by using self-harm or ending her life" during what has been referred to as an almost three year "on again/off again" relationship. DDG claimed she allegedly "threatened to end her life using my legally owned firearm" in 2023, as well as stalking him during their relationship, and physically and verbally abusing him. He wrote in the filing: "Given these threats to self-harm, I believe the Petitioner is a threat to our son's safety such that she should not be allowed to take Halo out of the country to Italy for a period of two months." He has requested sole legal and physical custody of their child, or an alternative visitation plan which would see DDG and Bailey exchange two-day and five-day blocks. As reported by TMZ, Bailey has since filed to deny his request and seek permission to take Halo out of the country so she can work. She has also requested orders to prevent the YouTube star and his family and friends from posting online about her, the litigation, and their son. Last month, Bailey was granted temporary sole physical and legal custody of Halo, along with a temporary restraining order which expired in line with a planned court hearing on June 4. She had accused DDG of domestic abuse, while previous court documents obtained by Page Six, saw her allege that she filed for sole custody without notifying DDG because she was "afraid that the violence would reoccur" and that "the other party would take the children out of the area". Just over six months after they announced their split, PEOPLE learned via legal documents that Bailey has accused him of various kinds of abuse. In documents obtained by the outlet, she alleged: "I realize that there is no placating Darryl. I cannot allow this abuse any longer. "Whenever he wishes to cause upset, he starts badmouthing me to his several millions of fans. "He claims I am withholding our son and that I am with other men. As a result, I then receive threats and hate on social media. He seems to try to set up drama for his fans."

Coldplay star reportedly splits from actress AGAIN
Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson have reportedly called off their eight year on and off again relationship for the second time. The Coldplay singer and Fifty Shades of Grey star have been dating since 2017 and sparked engagement rumours during 2020, but break-up rumours swirled in 2024. However, despite the pair being spotted in Malibu together on May 16, a source told People the alleged split this time round was it. 'It feels final this time,' the insider told the publication. In March 2024, a source told the outlet that Johnson and Martin had been engaged for 'years' after first sparking engagement rumours in 2020, though they were 'in no rush to get married' at the time. When fans thought the pair had broken up in August, Johnson's representative denied the gossip by saying they were 'happily together'. About the same time, a source said: 'Sure, they've had issues and taken breaks in the past but things are great now. 'They both love their careers. They are balancing things the best they can.' The Materialists actress previously spoke about being in the lives of Martin's two kids with his ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, son Moses and daughter Apple, now 19 and 21, respectively. 'I love those kids like my life depends on it,' Johnson told Bustle. 'With all my heart.' She also told the outlet she was a big fan of watching Martin perform. 'I don't know. I love watching him,' she said. 'I could watch him every day. I don't know how to explain it. I feel like I don't know ... I'm watching my most favourite being do his most favourite thing.' In January, the pair held hands in India, where Martin was touring with his band. Chris Martin performs at Optus Stadium on November 18, 2023, in Perth.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times about the film on Wednesday, Johnson offered her opinion on people judging relationships. 'For a long time we've all been so quick to judge relationships or how they should happen, how they should exist in the world,' she said. 'When people should get married. Divorce is bad. All these things that actually, if you think about it, why is divorce bad?' 'Why do people have to get married or at a certain age or only once? Why? It doesn't matter.'

White Lotus star bombarded with cash from fans
Patrick Schwarzenegger was bombarded with money from fans while they watched him on 'White Lotus'. The 31-year-old actor made the revelation during an interview with People, where he sat down with his former co-star on the show, Aimee Lou Wood. They were promoting their new partnership with Venmo, ahead of the launch of the brand's debit card and expanded checkout features. He said: "I don't know if this ever happened to you, Aimee – I sent it in our group text from White Lotus – but I have people that sent me money on Venmo during episodes of 'White Lotus'. "It was really strange." In the show, Schwarzenegger plays the eldest son in an extremely rich family about to face ruin, over fraud allegations. He added: "I sent it all back, don't worry. But I did. I got a lot of people that sent me money." Wood, 31, said her own memories of filming involved a rather expensive coconut habit while on location in Thailand. "It was chronic," she said, adding: "I could not stop with the coconuts. I just absolutely loved them! I was so hydrated. I think I was overly hydrated, actually." The pair spent seven months filming the hit HBO series last summer, and said their new work with Venmo came at the perfect time – days after they had been discussing the possibility of collaborating again. "The whole experience was just really fun and put us in a fun situation to get to dance with each other", Schwarzenegger said. Wood agreed, and reflected on the intense bond formed during the extended production, admitting to feeling "separation anxiety" after filming wrapped. She said: "Seven months all of us together, in the same place, and then I went back to England and it was so lonely." The two stars have remained close, spending significant time together in recent weeks, working on the same shoots.
