Emma Stone says shaving her head for a role reminded her of mother's cancer treatment

Independent3 days ago
Emma Stone shaved her head for her role as Michelle in Yorgos Lanthimos 's new sci-fi comedy, Bugonia, where her character is forced to do so by kidnappers.
Stone found the act brave, connecting it to her mother's experience with hair loss during cancer treatment, and expressed a desire to have shown off her bald head more.
Her close friend, Jennifer Lawrence, initially opposed the idea, recalling Stone's previous 'Billie Jean King haircut,' but later admitted Stone 'pulled it off' beautifully.
Stone had to hide her bald head under hats and wigs during filming, eventually debuting her new look, which was initially mistaken for a short pixie cut, at the 2025 Golden Globes after her hair had grown out.
Bugonia marks Stone's fifth collaboration with Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos and is set for a world premiere at the Venice Film Festival before its cinema release on October 24.

Patricia Arquette, 56, shocks fans with hair transformation and mature new look

Legendary actress Patricia Arquette has shocked fans after debuting a bold new hairstyle. The Severance star, 57, turned heads at an event for SAG-AFTRA this week with a sleek honey blonde bob and bangs. The hairstyle featured chestnut highlights and stopped below her chin, perfectly framing her famous face. She went for a mature and conservative look for the event by pairing her new hairstyle with a long-sleeved shirt and a floor-length floral skirt. Arquette's transformation divided opinion online, with some praising the new look, while others felt it wasn't as flattering as her past hairstyles. 'She looks great but I think her longer hair was more flattering,' commented one. 'The haircut genuinely looks great,' wrote another. 'I love when she brings out the bob.' The Medium actress has often switched up her look over the years and has even rocked a bob on several occasions in the past. In AppleTV's Severance, Arquette has shoulder-length gray hair. Back in June, she looked almost unrecognizable after debuting a reddish-brown retro 'do. It marked a complete 180 change for the veteran star, who is largely known for her signature blonde hair. Her first role was in 1987's Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, and she went on to score an Academy Award in 2014 for Boyhood. Her other memorable roles include True Romance, Ed Wood, Lost Highway, and Medium. Earlier this year, Arquette revealed that she was looking for love online after quietly ending her longtime relationship with Eric White. While appearing on The Kelly Clarkson Show in January, the actress confirmed that she was single and using dating apps. When asked by Clarkson if she gets 'scared' of meeting up with her matches, the Oscar winner, who was previously married to Nicolas Cage and Thomas Jane, explained that the app she uses is one that 'kind of screens people.' Still, she admitted to feeling 'scared' about online dating and joked, at times, that Wikipedia has thrown a wrench into her search for her next relationship. Arquette went on to tell the host that her Wikipedia still said she was in a relationship with White, who she dated for nearly nine years between 2014 to 2023. 'Part of the problem for me is like, Wikipedia,' she said of her challenges with online dating. 'On there, I still have the same boyfriend I had a couple of years ago. And, I've been single for two years!' The Boyhood star mused that some of her matches thought that she was 'just running around town' since she never publicly announced her split from White. After hearing Arquette is looking for love, Clarkson turned to the cameras and said: 'So we're gonna get the word out now. She's single and mingling!' 'How is it on the apps?' Clarkson asked. 'Cause I'm single and I'm afraid.' 'I go very, very, slowly. I also do check up with people that know that person. And I go very slowly,' Arquette explained of her approach. The performer noted that she doesn't mind talking to someone 'for six months' before 'ever' having coffee with them. 'I believe in going very slow!' Arquette insisted.

People are only just realising My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way's VERY famous cousin as tour tickets go on sale today

MY Chemical Romance fans are only just realising one of its members has a very famous cousin. Lead vocalist Gerard Way also co-founded the popular rock band back in 2001. 4 4 4 Speaking on his podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, the titular star confirmed he and Gerard are distant cousins. Joe, 58, made this revelation while chatting to filmmaker Kevin Smith. However, he also clarified: "Yeah, I don't know [Gerard], but we're cousins." The pair are connected through Joe's grandmother Josie - who was Gerard's aunt. Joe's varied career includes stints as a comedian, actor, UFC commentator and TV host. He launched The Joe Rogan Experience in 2009 - and by six years later, it had become among the world's most popular podcasts. Aside from Gerard, My Chemical Romance also includes his brother Mikey, Ray Toro and Frank Iero. The rock group, which first formed in 2001, became a genre-defining group in the emo era with their album Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge in 2004. Their iconic status was then cemented with the multi-platinum selling album, The Black Parade, in 2006 – a concept album that followed a man's journey to the afterlife. The band initially split in 2013, but reformed in 2019 for a string of special shows. They officially returned to the road for a new tour earlier this year. MCR have released four albums to date – 2001 debut I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love; Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge; The Black Parade and finally, Danger Days: The True Lives of The Fabulous Killjoys in 2010. But on top of that they have released collections of recordings, Conventional Weapons, as well as bonus tracks and specials on their Greatest Hits album. Since that point, each have gone on to work on other projects, with Gerard notably helping create Netflix series The Umbrella Academy, based on a comic book he created by Gabriel Bá. It comes as My Chemical Romance recently announced two massive UK gigs at Wembley. They will be bringing their massive stadium tour to the UK after a sell-out run in the US. The band will perform at Wembley on July 10 and July 11, 2026. However, fans were left furious at the "extortionate" ticket prices for these performances. 4
