Stranger Things' Matthew Modine always knew that Millie Bobby Brown was going to be a star
Matthew Modine always knew that Millie Bobby Brown was going to be a star. The 66-year-old actor began appearing alongside Millie, now 21, when she was a child on the Netflix hit 'Stranger Things' and could tell even then that she had got the indescrible "it" that it takes to make it in showbiz. He told People: "The first day that I met Millie ... she was 11 years old. "And she was sitting in the little cell [for her character], and everyone was so excited about her, and they were so excited to introduce me to work with her. And she was just so magical and professional and mature and a child, it was … you know, you know that thing they always say, 'She's got it'? "When she was 11 years old, I went, 'Wow, this little girl's got it." Michael previously shared that the "friendship" he developed with Millie is one that he will "carry" with him for the rest of his life, even after 'Stranger Things' has come to an official end later this year. He said: "It begins and ends with Millie. "I met her when she was 11 years old on the set. I fell in love with that innocent 11-year-old child. "She is so focused, so determined, so intelligent. It is a friendship I will carry with me for the rest of my life.." Matthew was present at the wedding of 'The Electric State' star when she tied the knot with Jake Bongiovi - who is the son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi - in 2024. At the time, he appeared in an Instagram post capturing the nuptials and joked in the comments section: "Amazing. Who's the old guy with a beard?? " Meanwhile, Matthew admitted he was "looking forward" to seeing the premiere of the new play 'Stranger Things: The First Shade', which serves as a prequel to the television series. He said: "From everything that I've been told, it's bigger, more frightening [than the show], and a lot of jump scares in the play, so I'm looking forward to seeing it."

File Photo by Jim Ruymen/UPI | License Photo May 31 (UPI) -- Patti LuPone has apologized for her recent remarks about her fellow Broadway stars Kecia Lewis and Audra Mcdonald after hundreds of members of the New York theater community attempted to get LuPone disinvited to the Tony Awards. "For as long as I have worked in the theatre, I have spoken my mind and never apologized. That is changing today," LuPone said in an Instagram post Saturday. "I am deeply sorry for the words I used during The New Yorker interview, particularly about Kecia Lewis, which were demeaning and disrespectful," she added, referring to comments that appeared at the end of a wide-ranging article published online May 26. "I regret my flippant and emotional responses during this interview, which were inappropriate, and I am devastated that my behavior has offended others and has run counter to what we hold dear in this community. I hope to have a chance to speak to Audra [McDonald] and Kecia personally to offer my sincere apologies." Variety said an open letter -- signed by about 500 people connected to the New York theater community -- made the rounds Friday, condemning LuPone's remarks and asking the organizers of the Tony Awards to ban her from Broadway's biggest night.

Paige Spiranac Got 'Greatest Experience of my Life' with Tiger Woods
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Any golf fan would give almost anything for a lesson from the legendary Tiger Woods. Well, the equally famous Paige Spiranac had that opportunity, and naturally, it was unforgettable. Spiranac recounted the experience during a recent interview on the Vanity Index podcast by Skratch. The former pro player and current influencer also revealed what impressed her most about Woods—and it wasn't precisely his golf skills. "He gave me a chipping lesson once. It was like the greatest experience of my life," Spiranac said. "He smells so good, by the way... like that was the first thing I noticed." "I remember he hugged me, and he smelled so good, and I didn't take my jacket off or wash it for an embarrassingly long time because I was like, 'I feel and smell like a winner,'" she added. Of course, the moment also involved the highest quality of golf. Spiranac described the lesson she received from Tiger Woods just as you would expect from such an opportunity. "We were doing this low little spinny shot and so we opened the club up almost like on your back, open stance, narrow choke down, and you take it out and almost slice across it and it's you hit it with like a 54 [degree wedge] it comes out low and then checks on the second bounce. It's a really cool shot. He did [demonstrate it] and it was perfect." Paige Spiranac is the golf personality with the most followers on social media. She is currently followed by more than one million X users, more than four million on Instagram and more than 1.4 million on TikTok. Her YouTube channel has over 445,000 subscribers.
