Jeremy Renner Found Death Exhilarating After Accident
Well, here's a story that's the epitome of "Don't try this at home."
Of course, you know that Jeremy Renner is very, very lucky to be alive after being run over by a snow plow at the top of 2023. In his recently released memoir My Last Breath, the Oscar-nominated actor claimed that he quite literally experienced death itself at the time of the accident.
In a recent appearance on Kelly Ripa's Let's Talk Off Camera podcast, Jeremy went deeper into what he experienced during that moment — and, shockingly, it sounds like almost dying was a friggin' blast through his lens.
'It's a wonderful, wonderful relief to be removed from your body,' he said. 'It is the most exhilarating peace you could ever feel." OK...tell me more.
"You don't see anything but what's in your mind's eye. Like, you're the atoms of who you are, the DNA, your spirit. It's the highest adrenaline rush, but the peace that comes with it…it's magnificent. It's so magical.'
What's more, after supposedly experiencing death, Jeremy claims that when he was eventually brought back to life he found himself wanting to stay dead. Yes, really.
'I didn't want to come back,' he said. 'I remember I was brought back and I was so pissed off. I came back, I'm like, 'Aww!' I came back and saw [my] eyeball and I'm like, 'Oh shit, I'm back.' Saw my legs. I'm like, 'Yeah, that's gonna hurt later.' I'm like, 'All right, let me continue to breathe.''
Make no mistake, though — the overall experience made Jeremy happy to be alive and living life when all was said and done, as he said he's now "able to be back here and live it on my terms as the captain of my own ship. And get on it or off it, I don't give a fuck. I'm going to live life on my own terms and for nobody else. [It's] very clear. The white noise is ripped away.'
Wowsers. What else is there to say to all of that? You can listen to his entire chat with Kelly right here.

Post Malone to open Lower Broadway restaurant and music venue
Post Malone is joining the league of celebrities who've claimed a slice of Lower Broadway pie. Why it matters: Post Malone's announcement Tuesday that he'll open a Nashville entertainment venue proves Music City is more than a pit stop for the popstar-turned-country-crossover artist. Zoom in: Hospitality company TC Restaurant Group says they'll partner with the Grammy Award-nominated musician to open a 26,000-square-foot restaurant, bar and music venue on at 305 Broadway. The honky-tonk-inspired venue will be named for the singer and feature three stages, six bars, a rooftop and a dining room. What he's saying: "We've created a space where everyone can come together and kick some ass. Nashville has really become a second home for me so I can't wait to invite y'all over to my house," Post said in a statement. The big picture: Property values on Lower Broadway are skyrocketing, with celebrity-owned honky-tonks driving the biggest increases.

'RHOBH' alum Tom Girardi sentenced to 7 years in federal prison for embezzling tens of millions of dollars
Tom Girardi, the famed personal injury attorney who was depicted in the Oscar-winning movie Erin Brockovich and is also the estranged husband of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne, has been sentenced to more than seven years behind bars for bilking his clients out of millions of dollars. The U.S. Attorney's Office of the Central District of California announced Tuesday that Girardi, who was disbarred in 2022, was sentenced to 87 months in federal prison for leading an embezzlement scheme that defrauded his clients of tens of millions of dollars, much of it meant for treatment for serious physical injuries. Girardi, 86, was also ordered to pay a $35,000 fine and more than $2 million in restitution, and to surrender to federal authorities by July 17. "This self-proclaimed 'champion of justice' was nothing more than a thief and a liar who conned his vulnerable clients out of the millions of dollars," U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said in a statement. IRS Criminal Investigation Special Agent in Charge Tyler Hatcher added, "This sentencing brings a level of recompense for countless victims of Mr. Girardi's long-running scheme to enrich himself on the backs of clients who trusted him in some of their worst days." An attorney for Girardi didn't immediately respond to Entertainment Weekly's request for comment. Girardi was indicted on charges of stealing more than $18 million from clients in 2023 and found guilty on four counts of wire fraud last August. The 13-day trial found that the disgraced attorney operated his firm, Girardi Keese, "like a Ponzi-scheme," federal prosecutors said, diverting millions won from settlements toward unrelated expenditures between 2010 and 2020. Families of victims of tragedies like a 2018 Lion Air plane crash, for example, were awarded millions in cases fought by Girardi and his co-conspirators, but said they never saw the Girardi Keese CFO Christopher Kazuo Kamon pleaded guilty two two counts of wire fraud in October, was sentenced to 121 months in custody, and was ordered to pay nearly $9 million in restitution. Another Girardi Keese lawyer and Girardi's son-in-law, David R. Lira, is expected to stand trial next month. Jayne filed for divorce from Girardi in 2020 and the couple remain legally separated, though their divorce has not been finalized. Jayne was not implicated in last year's verdict against her ex, but federal prosecutors said during Girardi's trial that among the misappropriated funds, $25 million went to EJ Global, a company founded by Jayne to finance her entertainment career. Girardi and Jayne were jointly hit by a lawsuit alleging embezzlement in 2020, but she was dismissed from the case in 2022. Though the law firm which brought the suit, Edelson PC, claimed at the time of Jayne's dismissal that it planned to refile, a new suit has yet to materialize.

George Clooney Reveals Why He Hates His Good Night, And Good Luck Hairstyle
George Clooney was ready to roast himself over his hair while stopping by Late Night With Seth Meyers on Monday. Admitting the deep brunette dye job he got for his role in Good Night, and Good Luck was not his best look, the Tony-nominated actor told Meyers, 'It's bad. It's still dark on top, but it's gray at the bottom. So you get that really nice-looking grow-out of gray.' Clooney, who said he was purposefully hiding under a baseball cap, said he was relieved he'll finally be able to get rid of the tint when he wraps his critically acclaimed Broadway show on Sunday afternoon, right before the Tony Awards. Though Meyers told the ER star that his locks look 'great onstage,' he joked that 'offstage, it looks like you are trying to get away with something.' 'It really looks bad. It looks like you're going through some horrible midlife crisis,' Clooney agreed, then smirking as he added, 'I'm 64 ... midlife is a little stretch.' Trying to find an upside, the leading man said wife Amal Clooney does find his temporary hairstyle 'funny' but will 'be glad when it's gone.' While talking to the New York Times in March, the normally salt-and-pepper-coiffed star laughed about how 'nothing makes you look older than when an older guy dyes his hair.' But Clooney thought the transformation was necessary to play real-life journalist Edward R. Murrow, whose Cold War-era clash with Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy is the centerpiece of Good Night, and Good Luck.
