Charmed co-star Alyssa Milano said she was 'heartbroken' as she remembered Julian as 'magic.'
She said: 'That smile. That laugh. That talent. That presence. He walked into a room and lit it up — not just with charisma, but with kindness. With mischief. With soulful understanding.
'We spent years together on Charmed — years of scenes, stories, and so many in-between moments. He made me feel safe as an actor. Seen as a woman. He challenged me, teased me, supported me. We were so different, and yet somehow we always understood each other.'
Shannen Doherty and Julian McMahon from Charmed both dying from cancer in July almost a year from each other is so wild.
May they both rest in peace. 🙏🏽 pic.twitter.com/JPiNDDHd7e

Main Stage singer forced to pull out of All Together Now
All Together Now has lost one of their top performers just days before getting underway after Michael Kiwanuka pulled out due to illness. The UK folk/soul singer announced the cancellation of a number of summer gigs, including the Waterford festival, after being advised by doctors not to perform. Michael was one of most highly-anticipated musicians getting ready to play in front of a sold-out All Together Now at Waterford's Curraghmore Estate this August Bank Holiday weekend. Michael Kiwanuka was forced to cancel a number of shows due to illness. Pic: Aldara Zarraoa/WireImage Unfortunately, fans travelling to Curraghmore hoping to see Michael will be left disappointed after his announcement on social media. It read: 'We are so sorry to announce that due to continued illness, and on the advice of doctors, Michael will sadly be unable to perform at the rest of his scheduled festival performances throughout the rest of the summer. 'We know that this is disappointing news to hear, and nobody is more disappointed and saddened than Michael to no longer be taking to the stage as planned.' Michael was due to perform at the Main Stage from 8.15pm to 9.30pm on Sunday, August 3. It is yet to be announced who will take his place but All Together Now confirmed on social media that the Main Stage schedule will be updated on the app in the near future. Michael Kiwanuka was due to perform on the main stage. Pic: Roberto Ricciuti/Redferns Michael is a Mercury Award-winning singer and his absence will no doubt be felt at the festival. He was also forced to pull out of a headlining tour of North America, in support of 2024 album Small Changes, with his illness. All Together Now attendees do however have a wide range of other artists at their disposal, with Fontaines DC, Bicep and Nelly Furtado headlining the festival. Other huge stars include CMAT, London Grammar, The Altered Hours, Wet Leg, Primal Scream, The Boomtown Rats and Madra Salach. There will also be live comedy from the likes of Tommy Tiernan and Reggie Watts. Despite the notable loss of Michael Kiwanuka from the lineup, there is no doubt that the 30,000 festival-goers are in for a cracking Bank Holiday weekend.

Trending celebrity couple tipped for double Bond duty
Let's face it: Dua Lipa and fiancé Callum Turner are one of the hottest couples right now, and the duo have been tipped for double duty for the next James Bond movie British actor Turner, who's best known for his roles in the Fantastic Beasts franchise as well as the indie film Green Room alongside Sir Patrick Stewart, has seen his odds to be the next 007 shoot up in recent weeks, with Ladbrokes sharing their top five contenders. Having been the 10th favourite to snag the role (at 14/1), the 35-year-old is now sitting as the joint second favourite at 5/1 (alongside Theo James), just behind Aaron Taylor Johnson at 7/4. Jack Lowden, Tom Holland and Harris Dickinson also range from 6/1-8/1 in the bookies. Dua Lipa and Callum Turner Pic: Samir Hussein/WireImage Speaking on the shift in popularity, Cal Gildart of Ladbrokes said: 'A significant number of our punters feel that Callum Turner would make a good Bond, and this latest odds cut suggests that some producers might share their thoughts.' Turner's partner Dua is also looking likely to be contributing to the franchise in her own way, with the 29-year-old singer being tipped to perform the title track for the next instalment. Lipa would follow in the footsteps of Adele, Billie Eilish and Sam Smith, all of whom won Oscars for their Bond tunes. Callum Turner and Dua Lipa Pic: Michael Loccisano/GA/The Hollywood Reporter via Getty Images Spokesperson for William Hill betting, Lee Phelps, shared: 'Speculation is mounting around the new James Bond film, and we have seen support for couple Dua Lipa and Callum Turner to both be involved in the next movie. 'Dua Lipa has already proven her credentials on the big screen and in the studio, so it's no surprise to see her odds shorten to 15/8 to follow the likes of Adele and Billie Eilish by singing the next iconic Bond theme. 'As a duo, they're now just 12/1 to both feature in the film in these respective roles, which would mark a bold and modern new direction for the franchise.'
