Hollywood's richest actress Jami Gertz spotted looking unrecognisable
Eighties actress Jami Gertz has been spotted looking unrecognisable years after she ditched Hollywood and became a billionaire. Gertz acted in 1980s classics like The Lost Boys and Sixteen Candles, and also made an appearance in the original Twister in the 90s. She has since amassed an estimated USD$8 billion (AUD$12.5 billion) fortune, putting her ahead of Hollywood greats including Tom Cruise, Reese Witherspoon and Brad Pitt and making her the richest actor in the world. She was spotted this week having lunch at a private members' club that attracts some of Hollywood's most powerful elite. Gertz kept things low-key in a light blue blouse, white trousers and matching shoes as she chatted with a pal. The former Hollywood star worked as a child actress before scoring her breakthrough role the 1987 drama Less than Zero with Robert Downey, Jr. In 1989, Gertz married banker Tony Ressler who over the course of the following decade forged an incredibly lucrative career in private equity. Ressler co-founded Apollo Global Management in 1990, which has since gone on to be worth an estimated $125 billion. Seven years later, he launched a second firm, Ares Management, which also skyrocketed in success. The husband and wife duo have since collaborated on numerous business ventures, including Gertz's own production company, Lime Orchard Productions, which has developed movies including like Heretic, Dune: Prophecy and One Piece. In 2015, the couple then bought the NBA team the Atlanta Hawks for a reported $720 million. 'I get it,' she told Hollywood Reporter. 'It's not your everyday Hollywood actress tale.' 'Everyone thinks I married a rich guy. But I made more money — way more money — than Tony when I met him. I paid for our first house. I paid for our first vacation. I married him because I fell in love with him.' She went on to open up about quitting Hollywood, confessing that her duties with the Atlanta Hawks became too time consuming to juggle both careers. 'It just seemed like a natural moment for me to take a break from acting,' she said. 'It's hard to even say it out loud, because I love what I do. It's given me so many beautiful things in my life, taught me so many things about myself and the world around me.'

Original Naked Gun creator's swipe at reboot and star Liam Neeson
The director and co-writer of the original The Naked Gun film has taken a brutal swipe at the reboot and its star, Liam Neeson. David Zucker, along with his brother Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams, created the 1988 spoof comedy as well as the TV show that spawned it, Police Squad, but was not invited to join the team behind the new instalment. Instead, its co-written and directed by Saturday Night Live 's Akiva Schaffer and produced by Family Guy 's Seth Macfarlane. 'I don't plan on seeing it because, why would I?,' Zucker, 77, told the Daily Mail recently. 'I wrote a whole script for Naked Gun 4 on spec for Paramount. I understand the studio's thinking to go with Seth Macfarlane. He's a proven commodity and Liam Neeson is a big star, but it's not a fresh idea.' Zucker also claimed that Neeson was not the right fit for the beloved franchise he created. 'OJ [Simpson] … he didn't need to be funny,' he said. 'And even Leslie Nielsen doesn't need to be funny. He just had to be a B-movie actor. 'That's what we did … We didn't pretend to cast Laurence Olivier or even Al Pacino. But Liam Neeson, for example, he's like Oscar quality. I think he may have won for Schindler's List. So I mean, what's he making fun of?' According to Zucker, despite being shut out of the production, Macfarlane had eventually called him up personally. 'I had a conversation with Seth and he spent 10 minutes just telling me how he idolised Naked Gun, Airplane, Top Secret,' he said. 'How can you be mad at anybody who tells you how great you are? But it's not enough to be a fan … The guy at my dry cleaners is a big fan, but it doesn't mean he can do Naked Gun.' The new film in the beloved franchise sees Detective Frank Drebin's son, the equally bumbling Detective Frank Drebin Jr. (Neeson) caught up in a murder case, part of a broader sinister plot for mass destruction, which he must solve in order to prevent the police department from shutting down. Pamela Anderson co-stars as his love interest and investigative partner, Beth Davenport. Just like those in the original franchise, the latest Naked Gun movie leans in to the most bonkers humour – and even co-writer Doug Mand admitted to that he was shocked they got most of the jokes over the line. 'I can't believe this movie got made,' he revealed at the UK premiere. 'You dream about writing something that's silly and fun and joyful and they're not making a lot of movies like this anymore. Every joke that's on screen [in The Naked Gun], I can't believe they shot it, and I can't believe they spent money on shooting it.' Neeson revealed to that he'd needed to be 'convinced' to go through with some of the movie's more 'outrageous' scenes. 'There were a couple of apprehensions, mainly to do with the script,' the Taken actor, 73, said. 'There were certain scenes that were too outrageous.' After voicing his concerns, however, he was eventually thoroughly 'convinced they would work' by the production team. The Naked Gun certainly shows off a whole new side of the actor, who's known for his intimidating and stoic on-screen presence. But his latest role is actually more aligned with his sense of humour, as Anderson, 58, told joking that he was inherently 'a silly little boy'. 'He's very funny. I think with most people, there are so many sides to them, and that's what makes them interesting.' She added: 'Playing it straight was very important to make this film work – we had to make sure we weren't trying to be funny. That we were in the relationship, and in the situation, and then the comedy came from the circumstances.'

Meghan's ex-BFF Jessica Mulroney ‘regrets' friendship amid marriage split: report
IN LONDON The Duchess of Sussex's former BFF Jessica Mulroney 'somewhat regrets' their friendship, according to a new report. It emerged this week that the Canadian stylist, 45, is divorcing her husband, Ben, after 16 years of marriage – and according to the Daily Mail, the scrutiny that came with her association to the Duchess of Sussex had 'later caused tensions … in her marriage'. The two women had been best friends for years after meeting in Canada, where Jessica had introduced Meghan – who was then based in Toronto while filming Suits – to the city's glittering social scene. They remained close during the early stages of her relationship with her future husband, and Jessica and Ben's children – twins Brian and John and daughter Ivy – even served as page boys and bridesmaid at their royal wedding in 2018. However, the friendship appeared to sour following Jessica's 'white-privilege' scandal in 2020, where the stylist was axed from both her TV gigs following her racially charged spat with black lifestyle blogger Sasha Exeter. Amid the rampant online — and professional — backlash, Jessica issued an apology and Ben quit his job as a television presenter to help her. 'If [Jessica] could go back, a part of her wishes she was never part of [Markle and Prince Harry's 2018] wedding,' an insider alleged to the Mail on Friday. 'While she enjoyed all the exposure it brought her at the time, that same exposure is what caused her social media rift to blow up in the way it did and led to the end of her friendship with Meghan and her marriage.' Sources further alleged that while Jessica 'did consider Meghan family' at one point, she now reportedly 'sees that whole time as a 'dark cloud.' Back when the scandal broke, it was reported that Meghan reacted with shock after hearing of Jessica's 'tone deaf' threats to sue Exeter, and swiftly decided she can 'no longer be associated with her'. 'Meghan is absolutely mortified that she's been dragged into this complete mess. She said Jessica is in no way a racist, but the way she handled the situation was tone deaf and heartbreaking,' a friend of Meghan's told the Daily Mail at the time. In 2020, Exeter publicly blasted Jessica in an emotional 12-minute Instagram video, describing how she had threatened her during an argument about 'speaking up' against racism and had left her feeling 'paralysed in fear'. Exeter claimed that Jessica had 'taken offence to a very generic call to action' posted online, causing the women to engage in an argument about racism and white privilege. Exeter then claimed that Jessica had sent her a series of offensive messages, which ended with a threat to her livelihood. Jessica herself commented on the video to apologise, and alluded to her friendship with Meghan, who has been at the centre of racist attacks since she began dating Prince Harry in 2016. 'I am unequivocally sorry for not doing that with you and for any hurt I've caused. As I told you privately, I have lived a very public and personal experience with my closest friend where race was front and centre,' she wrote. 'It was deeply educational. I learned a lot from that. I promise to continue to learn and listen on how I can use my privilege to elevate and support black voices.' However, Exeter then shared a screenshot on her Instagram story of a private message sent by Jessica shortly after her public apology, which appeared to confirm her intent to sue for 'liable' (sic). Jessica was subsequently dropped from featuring as an expert on a daytime lifestyle show and Meanwhile, Page Six reported on Tuesday about Jessica and Ben's split, alleging they'd broken up 'some time ago'. The publication added that Jessica shared the news with fellow guests at a recent Toronto wedding, with a source claiming she 'seemed sad, but also relieved to have some clarity'.
