Scott Wolf files for temporary restraining order against estranged wife, Entertainment News
Scott Wolf has filed for a temporary restraining order against his estranged wife.
The Party of Five actor and Kelley Wolf — who have Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11, together — revealed earlier this month they had gone their separate ways after 21 years of marriage, and on Tuesday (June 24), the 57-year-old star submitted a request to the court in Utah to have his spouse ordered to stay away from him.
According to documents seen by Us Weekly magazine, both Scott and his brother, Michael Wolf, provided a declaration as part of the application.
Kelley confirmed to People magazine that she had been served with the order on Wednesday (June 25).
A hearing is due to take place on July 1.
The development comes days after the 48-year-old reality star returned home after being hospitalised under an involuntary 5150 hold — which is described as "a critical intervention used to detain individuals who are considered a danger to themselves or others or are gravely disabled due to a mental disorder" — on June 13.
She insisted on Instagram on Monday (June 23): "I'm fine, y'all. I'm happy.
"No mental illness. No addictions. Just a woman who SURVIVED an involuntary 5150 and went on a 1st DATE 2-night. So nervous! OMG!"
She also admitted she had "called suicide hotlines.(20 yrs ago)" and "had my heart shattered and my body bruised… but still kickin!! Hello! [cry laughing emoi]...
"In other words: I'm ALIVE. I'm not quiet anymore. And the show's just getting started.(sic)"
Scott previously described filing for divorce as the "most difficult decision" he had ever made.
He said in a statement: "Ater 21 years of marriage, I have made the most difficult decision of my life, and filed for divorce from my wife Kelley.
"Our children have always been, and continue to be, the loves of our lives and our every priority, so I kindly ask for privacy at this time as we help guide them through this new chapter."
But Kelley insisted she had spent "months" trying to end her marriage.
She said in her own statement: "I initiated a separation almost a year ago. I've been trying to file for divorce for months, but delays with legal counsel slowed the process.
"Yes, the official petition came from the other party, but let the record show: I've been grieving this marriage for years. This isn't avoidance — it's acceptance. I'm far past the grief. I'm well into the healing. Very much so." Samaritans of Singapore: 1800-221-4444

Who controls Singapore's national story? A play quietly asks
[SINGAPORE] As Singapore celebrates 60 years of independence with a wave of nostalgia – through official events, art exhibitions and commemorative objects – it's worth asking: what exactly are we remembering? National memory is never a neutral archive; it's a carefully curated collection of stories. So the question perhaps is not what we're being asked to remember, but whose memories are being celebrated – and whose have been quietly left out. Teater Ekamatra tackles these issues deftly in a new production titled National Memory Project. The story is set in the near future, in which the government has launched an initiative requiring every citizen to contribute a memory to feed into a national Artificial Intelligence (AI) system. The goal is to help the Singapore government understand its people better than even they understand themselves. If the government needs to introduce new policies, it can consult AI to have a better sense of how people might react; it can even ask AI to refine those policies to make them more palatable. Remembering becomes an act of resistance in National Memory Project, starring Ellison Tan Yuyang and Fir Rahman. PHOTO: TEATER EKAMATRA Judy (played by Ellison Tan Yuyang) is a civil servant assigned to obtain a memory from Ahmad (played by Fir Rahman), a convict set to be executed in two days. But what could have been a straightforward task transforms into an unlikely philosophical duel. She believes in bureaucratic efficiency; he believes that memory is messy and unruly, and cannot be collected, flattened and stored. Judy sees memory as something useful for the state; Ahmad sees memory as something sacred and personal, that cannot be divorced from the person who lived it. A NEWSLETTER FOR YOU Friday, 2 pm Lifestyle Our picks of the latest dining, travel and leisure options to treat yourself. Sign Up Sign Up Gradually, the simple data-gathering exercise turns into a meditation on memory, control and the limits of technology – as Judy herself is forced to confront her own unresolved grief over the untimely death of her parents. Written by Johnny Jon Jon and directed with taut precision by Fared Jainal, the production is at once clinical and intimate. Fared's set design comprises abstract white blocks, scrawled with drawings of cityscapes and people – a visual metaphor for Singapore itself: a city built from blueprints and bureaucratic precision, yet complicated by the messy sprawl of lived experience. Two actors, Ellison Tan Yuyang and Fir Rahman, play half a dozen characters speaking in English, Malay, Mandarin and Hokkien in National Memory Project. PHOTO: TEATER EKAMATRA Lighting design by Alberta Wileo gives the space a ghostly quality, at times sterile and interrogative, at others haunting and elegiac. Sound design by Tini Aliman deepens the psychic landscape of the characters, with its ambient echoes and disturbances. Only two actors make up the cast – but they play multiple characters speaking in English, Malay, Mandarin and Hokkien. Tan plays Judy with graceful restraint, a woman clinging to structure and technology as a way to suppress her grief. Fir delivers an affecting performance as Ahmad, radiating a weariness that feels hard-earned. (Spoilers ahead) In the play's final moments, Judy sings Di Tanjong Katong, an old Malay folk song that has now become part of the Singapore canon. Ahmad responds, not with the same song, but with P. Ramlee's Nak Dara Rindu, which has lyrics that pay tribute to that other song. It's an 'if you know, you know' moment, a poetic and gentle defiance that reminds us that memory is not fixed – it's a song sung slightly off-key. National Memory Project by Teater Ekamatra runs at the Drama Centre Black Box from now till Jun 29. Tickets from

Alex Garland originally pitched a 28 Years Later movie 'completely in Mandarin'
Alex Garland's original pitch for 28 Years Later had the film "completely in Mandarin". The 55-year-old writer-and-director teamed up with Danny Boyle for the third instalment of the horror franchise, and he's admitted the screenplay he started working on following the COVID-19 pandemic was "completely and utterly generic", but with a "punk" twist. Garland told Rolling Stone magazine: "Yeah, it was completely and utterly f****** generic. "There's always been something slightly punk about 28 Days Later…, which I think stems from my age, Danny's age, and where we grew up. "The idea was that a group of military commandos would break quarantine and try to get to the place where the virus had originated, in order to find a cure. When they got there, they found another group that had got there first, and who were trying to weaponise the virus. "The punk element was that the commandos would be Chinese Special Forces, and the film would be completely in Mandarin and subtitled, and just sort of be f****** with people in various ways.' The film would have seen major action sequences, including shootouts and mass attacks, which Garland could "think of a bunch of filmmakers who could have effectively picked it up and run with it.' However, his concern the plot was predictable and not quite right was confirmed when he turned the script over to Boyle. Garland recalled: "Danny, in effect, said to me: 'Alex, are you kidding?' 'He didn't come out with it quite that bluntly. Or maybe he did. But he very nicely kept trying to make it work, suggesting 'what if we did this, what if we did that?' Finally, we both gave up on it." However, the early idea had one advantage because it gave the pair a sense of freedom that allowed them to have a "totally blank slate" for the third film in the franchise.
