In her new autobiography, Gwinn revealed: "I constantly receive photos of naked men. "So-called penis pics. This kind of stuff constantly pops up in my Instagram inbox. The photos are always from anonymous accounts. "I delete the photos and messages, and I report the accounts. It's just plain bad harassment."

Fans of 70s band blast 'awful' biopic casting of Nick Jonas as rock legend
Nick Jonas has been cast in a new biopic about an iconic rock band – but fans aren't happy (Picture:) KISS fans have expressed their disappointment over the 'awful' and 'ridiculous' casting of Nick Jonas as frontman Paul Stanley in an upcoming biopic. The Jonas Brothers singer, 32, is reportedly set to star as the legendary musician, 73, in Shout It Out Loud, a biopic charting the 70s band's rise to fame. KISS – made up of Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss – formed in 1973 and went on to become one of the most influential and biggest-selling rock bands of all time. The film will be directed by McG, famed for his work on Charlie's Angels and Transformers. But fans aren't happy Jonas will be playing the Starchild, taking to social media to air their frustrations and vow to 'never see the film.' 'This casting just assures I will never watch this,' one person commented on a Reddit post about the casting news, while another simply added, 'Oh f**k no' and a third wrote, 'Absolutely not, that's awful.' Jonas will play KISS frontman and guitarist Paul Stanley (Picture: Robert Cianflone/AFL Photos/via Getty Images) Fans of the shock rockers have dubbed the casting 'awful' and vowed not to watch the film (Picture:) Shout It Out Loud will follow the band's rise to fame in the 1970s (Picture:) Others noted the band had enjoyed its fair share of controversy over the years. Several of its members openly admitted they had taken advantage of their star status to sleep with up to 5,000 women, while the band also caught flak for marketing a KISS-themed coffin. 'Absoultely (sic) ridiculous casting,' a commenter declared. 'But then we are talking about the band who replaced their lead guitarist with a roadie.' Elsewhere, commenters complained that too many music biopics had been released lately, with movies about the lives of Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Bob Marley, and Amy Winehouse all released in the last two years. 'I'm sure a lot of people must love them, but I cannot describe how happy I would be if they just stopped making most musician biopics,' one wrote. Other fans were more supportive, with Iamacannibal commenting: 'Nick is actually a really good actor. He was in a show called Kingdom a while back that is fantastic and he was great in it.' 'Oh I can totally see why they picked him he will really pull it off!' Rap_A_Toni93 posted, with other users drawing similarities between Jonas and Stanley's appearances. Some fans felt there had been too many music biopics in recent years (Picture: Gilbert Flores/Variety via Getty Images) Further casting is yet to be announced (Picture: Medios) The Hollywood Reporter reports Jonas is in 'final talks' to take on the role of Stanley, while movie bosses are still looking for an actor to play the singer's bassist bandmate Simmons. The group is helping to develop the project while Stanley and Simmons are among the producers, along with McG. Deadline reports Jonas plans to take on singing duties in the film and needs time to train his voice to be able to emulate Stanley's signature vocals. Longtime KISS manager Doc McGhee previously revealed the movie would focus on the band's first four years together after forming in the 1970s. Speaking to Talking Metal in 2021, he explained: '[The script is] completely done … And the script is about the first four years of KISS. Basically, it's before they were famous – it was up to Cadillac High [KISS' famous gig in a high school gym in Cadillac, Michigan in 1975] , that kind of thing. 'And I think it's a very interesting look at the formation of KISS, the mindset of how that came about, the social pressure that everybody was in in the '60s and '70s that brought something like Kiss to the forefront, that it could actually happen. Longtime manager Doc McGhee said the film would explore the formation of the influential band (Picture:for SiriusXM) Stanley (left) said he would be 'there and watching' the casting process (Picture: Ginny Winn/Michael) 'So it's a very interesting, and I think it's a well-written movie.' Stanley has also previously spoken about the movie, telling broadcaster Kylie Olsson in 2021: '[The movie is] definitely happening. And that's gonna be really interesting. The script was really good. And we really waited until we felt comfortable.' Speaking of actors who could play him in the film, he added: 'I will tell you this: for casting to be accurate in terms of age, we are looking at actors in their early 20s. 'Honestly, I don't know a whole lot of actors in their early 20s. When people get asked these kinds of questions, they'll say, 'Oh, Brad Pitt,' or this one or that one.' He went on to say that he will be 'there and watching' as the casting process continues, so if that remains true, surely Jonas has the stamp of approval from the man himself. 'But as the casting process goes on, I'll certainly be there and watching. It'll be interesting to see how someone else- be it the casting people or the director – how they view who I am and who they see doing that. 'I think I'll learn a lot about their perception of me by who they cast.' The biopic was originally slated for a 2024 release date on Netflix, but so far, a revised release date has not been announced. Got a story?

Billy Joel reveals suicide attempt after having an affair with his friend's wife
Billy Joel has opened up about the mental health decline he experienced after his affair was revealed (Picture:) Billy Joel has recalled how he attempted suicide and fell into a coma 'for days' after having an affair with his friend's wife when he was in his early twenties. In the first part of the new documentary Billy Joel: And So It Goes, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City this week, the Piano Man singer reflected on how he fell into a deep depression after it was revealed that he had been in a relationship with Elizabeth Weber Small. Elizabeth was the then-wife of Billy's Attila bandmate, Jon Small. He has reflected on the guilt he felt around the situation, saying: 'I felt very, very guilty about it. They had a child. I felt like a homewrecker.' 'I was just in love with a woman, and I got punched in the nose, which I deserved. Jon was very upset. I was very upset,' he said, according to People. Billy described how he was at the point of 'almost being psychotic' and 'in a lot of pain.' The Piano Man singer had an affair with Elizabeth Weber, who he would go on to marry in 1973 (Picture: Robin Platzer/Images/Getty Images) At the time, she was the wife of Billy's (left) Atilla bandmate Jon Small (right) (Picture: Michael) His sister Judy, who was a medical assistant at the time, gave him some sleeping pills to help him rest. 'But Billy decided that he was going to take all of them… he was in a coma for days and days and days,' she explained. 'I went to go see him in the hospital, and he was laying there white as a sheet. I thought that I'd killed him.' Later, Billy attempted suicide again, but Jon quickly took him to the hospital. 'Even though our friendship was blowing up, Jon saved my life,' he shared, noting that he gained clarity and was able to recover while on the observation ward. Joel explained how he attempted to take his own life in the aftermath of their relationship being revealed (Picture: Dick Kraus/Newsday RM via Getty Images) After leaving hospital for the first time, he attempted suicide again (Picture: Naomi Rahim/WireImage) 'I got out of the observation ward and I thought to myself, you can utilise all those emotions to channel that stuff into music.' Billy and Elizabeth reconnected after a period of time and were married from 1973 to 1982. Last month, the Uptown Girl hitmaker announced he would be cancelling his upcoming tour dates as he was suffering from normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), which causes fluid to build within the brain and can affect cognitive ability and movement. He wasn't in attendance at the debut screening of the documentary on Wednesday night. Following the news, the Piano Man hitmaker vowed to fans he is 'not dying' in a message through his friend Howard Stern. Need support for your mental health?
