Hugh Jackman's flame Sutton Foster breaks cover at glitzy event after Deborra-Lee Furness' brutal jab
The Broadway star, 50, dodged all questions relating to her new flame Hugh Jackman — just days after his ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness broke her silence on their split, seemingly alluding to Jackman's alleged affair with Foster.
Despite Furness' remark, Foster appeared in good spirits at the glitzy event, where she was nominated for Outstanding Lead Performance in a Musical.

Still, despite the nod, the actress beelined for the exit to avoid the press after posing for a series of photos on the red carpet, the Daily Mail reports.
Foster also posed for snaps with actor Michael Urie, before sticking close to her publicist throughout the night, the outlet added.
The event was packed with celebrities, including Nicole Scherzinger, Debra Messing, and Sarah Hyland — all of whom spoke to press at some point in the evening.
Her outing came just days after Furness issued a scathing statement following the demise of her 27-year marriage to the 'Greatest Showman' star.

'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,' Furness said.
'It's a profound wound that cuts deep. However I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us.'
The Australian actress added, 'This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose.'

'It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom,' she said, sharing that 'one thing' she's learned is that 'none of this is personal.'
'We are all on our individual journeys and I believe that the relationships in our lives are not random,' she went on.

'We are drawn to people, we invite them in, in order to learn our lessons and to recognize and heal the broken parts of ourselves…I remain grateful.'
Days later, Jackman's longtime friend broke his silence on the pair's 'difficult' divorce.

Tiger Woods' Off-Course Power Move Reminded Justin Thomas Who's Still King
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Tiger Woods may not have teed up at a competitive golf event since TGL, but on Tuesday, he managed to steal the spotlight anyway at the Tour Championship without swinging a club. PACIFIC PALISADES, CALIFORNIA - FEBRUARY 16: Tiger Woods of the United States and Justin Thomas of the United States walk across the ninth hole during the first round of the The Genesis Invitational at Riviera... PACIFIC PALISADES, CALIFORNIA - FEBRUARY 16: Tiger Woods of the United States and Justin Thomas of the United States walk across the ninth hole during the first round of the The Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club on February 16, 2023 in Pacific Palisades, California. (Photo by) More Getty Images Justin Thomas was asked to share his favorite memory from past Tour Championships during the pre-tournament press conference at East Lake, and he recalled a classic Tiger story. "Probably my best memory, and I couldn't even tell you what year it was, it was probably -- I guess it would have been 2020," Thomas told reporters on Tuesday while stressing to remember the day. "I remember playing here (East Lake), playing a practice round and walking down 18 and FaceTiming Tiger because he wasn't here and didn't qualify, just showing him how the course was and how great it was. And then he acted like his phone cut out." But here's the twist, Woods wasn't done with the call yet. "Then he called me back two minutes later with the (Masters) green jacket on," Thomas continued during the same conversation. "I remember that very, very, very vividly." Though hilarious, it was a classic Woods move dripping with GOAT energy. And Thomas knew he'd been played. "Just a typical conversation of thinking I am having some kind of upper edge," Thomas added during Tuesday's conference, "and I get shut down and put in my place pretty quickly." Woods hasn't played competitively since playing at his TGL in February due to lingering ankle issues. He's been recovering from surgery and focusing on his TGL indoor golf league, which returns in December. But moments like this prove his presence in the sport is still magnetic, even when he's not on any leaderboard. More Golf: Tour Championship 2025: picks, bets, and predictions of the last playoff

Donny Osmond reveals ‘very offensive' advice Michael Jackson once gave him
Looking at the man in the mirror. Donny Osmond recently shared a clip from his 2023 appearance on 'The Adam Carolla Show' where he recalled getting 'very offensive' advice about his career from the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. 'The name Donny Osmond was a joke, years ago,' the 'Sacred Emotion' singer, 67, said. 'I mean, if you said you like Donny Osmond music, you were ousted.'

Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images 'In fact, WPLJ in New York, they got a hold of 'Soldier of Love' as an import,' Osmond continued. 'They played the record to test it because they liked the song, but they just didn't want to say my name.' Advertisement Osmond explained that in 1983, the year after Jackson's sixth album, 'Thriller' came out, he went to Jackson seeking guidance in how to save his career. 10 Donny Osmond and Adam Carolla.

Osmond recalled, adding, 'He said, 'Your name's poison, Donny. You gotta change your name.'' Advertisement 'It was very offensive,' Osmond said. 'It was tough to hear that.' But Jackson 'was right,' Osmond acknowledged, 'because in '89, radio stations all across the country played my music, but didn't say my name.' 'And they did me a favor by not saying who I was, and it became a hit,' he noted. 'Then they found out it was me.' Advertisement 10 Donny Osmond in a studio portrait in 1987. Getty Images Osmond rose to fame as part of The Osmonds with his brothers Alan, Wayne, Merrill and Jay. He eventually broke out as a solo act and as a duo with his sister, Marie Osmond. Jackson had a similar career path; he started in the Jackson 5 with his siblings before having a breakthrough as a solo artist. In 1982, he became a global sensation when 'Thriller' was released. 10 Michael Jackson with Donny Osmond at the American Music Awards in 1974. Getty Images 10 Donny Osmond performs in London in 1973.

'If you look at the Osmonds and the Jackson 5, the comparisons of the two families are just uncanny,' said Osmond. 'There are nine children in each family. Mike and I are both the seventh child of nine. Our mothers' birthdays are on the same day. Michael and I are the same age.'

Osmond added: 'Michael said something to me one day, and he said, 'Donny, you're the only person on this planet that knows what my childhood is like.''
