Walton Goggins 'shuts down interview when probed on Aimee Lou Wood feud'

Walton Goggins awkwardly shut down an interview after being asked three times about his alleged 'feud' with Aimee Lou Wood, it's been claimed.
The 53-year-old actor played the Sex Education star's romantic co-star in Mike White's third season of The White Lotus.
However, despite Rick and Chelsea's on-screen chemistry in Thailand, the pair seem to have fallen out since filming wrapped.
Eagled-eyed observers spotted how the pair no longer follow each other on Instagram.
Other co-stars also hinted at tangled friendships in a 'Lord Of The Flies summer camp'.
Now, reports have emerged that Walton dramatically 'derailed' an interview after being asked about Aimee.

During a talk with The Times' Ed Porton, Walton seemed stern when asked about his relationship with the Toxic Town actress, replying: 'I'm not gonna have that conversation.'
A nearby publicist also added: 'We're not going there, thank you.'
After the interviewer pressed Ed about their friendship again and whether Aimee would be present when he hosts Saturday Night Live next week, Walton refused to respond.
After this, his publicist suggested the pair talked about his upcoming movie The Uninvited.
However, after the interviewer's final attempt to bring up the topic of Aimee, Walton said: 'There is no conversation to be had about that. Sharing politics on social media – it's in a vacuum.'

When the interviewer tried again, Walton 'gasped', saying: 'What the f**k, Ed! Come on buddy. Wow,' which brought the interview to an abrupt end.
Walton's comments come after American comedy show Saturday Night Live aired a skit of the series, called 'The White Potus'.
The series' characters were replaced by depictions of Donald Trump and his inner circle.
But SNL cast member Sarah Sherman impersonated Chelsea by wearing exaggerated prosthetic teeth.
Posting on her Instagram story, Aimee described the sketch as 'mean and unfunny'. Since then, SNL has apologised.

In later posts, the Sex Education actress said she didn't mind people making fun of her, 'but there must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way?'
She added: 'The whole joke was about fluoride. I have big gap teeth not bad teeth. The rest of the skit was punching up and I/Chelsea was the only one punched down on.'
Starring Jon Hamm as RFK Jr., he begins to ramble to Aimee's character Chelsea about various medical plans and fluoride in water before saying he is going to go off and kill a monkey.
But, despite Aimee taking offence at her depiction, Walton found the sketch to be 'amazing'.
In a now deleted comment on Instagram under SNL's post, he wrote: 'Hahahahahhahaha Amazzzingggg.'
He then shared the clip to his Instagram story and wrote the word 'smashing'.
In addition, he praised Hamm's parody of Rick by saying: 'Jon… I knew I was miscast.'

Key to toxic rift between Beckham and Peltz camps finally REVEALED – and why David & Victoria fear Brooklyn is ‘trapped'
David's pals reveal why Father's Day on Sunday may have 'offered up some hope' in the midst of the 'heartbreaking' family feud HOUSE OF PAIN Key to toxic rift between Beckham and Peltz camps finally REVEALED – and why David & Victoria fear Brooklyn is 'trapped' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE Bank of Mum and Dad is a bone of contention for many a Boomer and Generation X-er – just ask David and Victoria Beckham. After months of heartbreaking animosity between Brooklyn and his parents, money — I'm told — has long caused a fractious divide between his own family and his bride's. 10 Brooklyn wraps his arms around wife Nicola in tender snap, as it's now revealed money has long caused a divide between both of their families Credit: Instagram 10 Brooklyn, right, will not get 'needless handouts' from parents David and Victoria Credit: Getty 10 Meanwhile, Nelson and Claudia like to 'indulge' daughter Nicola Credit: Instagram 10 News of Posh and Becks' eldest son 'buying' a £11million Hollywood mansion with wife Nicola Peltz has brought tensions simmering, once again, to the surface. Because I can reveal that Brooklyn does not entirely own the swanky five-bed, six-bathroom pad overlooking the magnificent Pacific Ocean. Largely Nicola — the daughter of a billionaire — does. According to concerned friends of David and Victoria, this leaves Brooklyn 'trapped', as does a forensic pre-nup which, again, was drawn up to secure the Peltz family's enormous wealth — a fortune that relatively dwarves the Beckhams'. But, as ever in this ongoing row, there are counter-arguments from both sides. Incredibly, the Peltzes accuse the Beckhams of being 'tight' and not amply providing for their beloved son. A source tells me: 'Money, so the saying goes, is the root of all evil. 'Certainly, in the case of the Beckhams vs Peltzes, it's proven... tricksy. David and Victoria are two working-class kids done good. 'They have grafted hard for their money and understand that with privilege comes responsibility. 'On principle, they will not needlessly spoil their kids and have taught them the value of both industry and money. They're like Gordon and Tana Ramsay in that regard. 'Honourable intentions' 'So, when it came to buying this house, of course they weren't just going to hand their son millions of pounds — what sort of message does that send? Brooklyn Beckham's family rift deepens as he turns back on UK by splashing out £11m on LA mansion with wife Nicola Peltz 'Nelson Peltz, on the other hand, is a billionaire investor and he and his wife Claudia regard Nicola, their little girl, as the apple of their eye. 'Understandably, they want to indulge her and ensure she never struggles — they expected the Beckhams, worth half a billion themselves, might match them penny for penny. Or, at least, chip in with financials as and when. 'That hasn't always happened, so they are annoyed and telling people it's a bit tight, which would utterly enrage David and Vic if they knew. 'They claim the Beckhams effectively cut off their kids financially when they turn 18.' Such an accusation would doubtless enrage Team DVB. Indeed, it does. It is, I am told, 'nonsense'. 10 Brooklyn puffs a cigar with father-in-law Nelson Credit: Nicola Peltz/Instagram 10 Nicola, centre, posing with mother-in-law Victoria and her mum Credit: Instagram/nicolaannepeltzbeckham A friend hits back: 'To be crystal clear, David and Victoria will always support Brooklyn if and when he needs it. "When he was setting up on his own, they would regularly help him out — as parents do — but they won't spoil him. They still help all their grown-up kids.' Brooklyn and Nicola's new home was largely paid for using her trust fund money — but, as the 'settlor', or creator, of the fund. Nelson had to sign off the release of any money. Pals insist both Brooklyn and Nicola also put in their work savings, and have 'been saving for years'. It is not known how much they contributed themselves To be crystal clear, David and Victoria will always support Brooklyn if and when he needs it Friend Nicola's camp, meanwhile, insists this house has 'nothing to do with family dynamics'. And they say that for Brooklyn — who spent much of his childhood in California while his dad David played for LA Galaxy — 'LA has always felt like home'. However, another source says the new pad was actually the couple's second house purchase. Nelson was adamant first time around that the young couple must 'both only buy a house they can afford'. They ended up selling the initial property. So this, then, is their first proper home together and will doubtless be a place they hope to one day raise a family. Although, not for now, according to one of Nicola's pals, who says she recently started work on a new film and is currently on location shooting. That movie, I'm told, co-stars little- known English socialite Jazzy de Lisser, and has a £1.2million budget. It is described as 'art house' and 'lets Nicola show off her acting mettle.' Sadly, the positive PR surrounding Nicola's last film, 2024's Lola, seems a world away. The glitzy red carpet premiere in Los Angeles was attended by Victoria, as well as Brooklyn's brothers, Romeo and Cruz. (David was away working at the time and Harper was at school). Today, ex-Spice Girl VB would sooner get on stage to belt out Wannabe a cappella than support one of Nicola's projects. The new purchase for the Peltz-Beckhams (the throughly modern couple sweetly wanted to take each other's surnames) comes three years after their lavish £3.5million wedding. The ceremony was held within the grounds of the Peltzes' stunning Floridian family estate. They are understood to have largely paid for the event — as is custom. The Beckhams, however, offered the services of pal Marc Anthony as a superstar wedding singer, and bought the couple a vintage Jaguar as a gift. In the weeks leading up to the divisive nuptials — more on these later — Brooklyn, 26, reportedly signed the 'mother of all pre-nups'. Not surprisingly, canny Nelson — with whom Brooklyn is extremely close — ensured that, in the unlikely case of divorce, his family assets would be protected. 'Pre-nups are standard practice Stateside,' says someone familiar with the Peltz-Beckham contract. 'Especially if you're a billionaire. 'To be honest, the Beckhams were very relaxed about it all. To be frank, it was entirely unexpected — and very welcome — for Brooklyn to have met someone who comes from more wealth than him. It was entirely unexpected — and very welcome — for Brooklyn to have met someone who comes from more wealth than him 'They felt Nicola's intentions were entirely honourable, and the paperwork effectively made sure that what both parties put into the marriage, they would take back out. 'It wasn't a problematic moment.' While not 'problematic', it does mean Brooklyn must keep earning. A kept man, he is not. 10 Nicola and Brooklyn on the Glamour mag cover 10 The Peltzs accuse the Beckhams of being 'tight' and not amply providing for their son 10 Tensions came to a head when Brooklyn failed to attend dad David's 50th birthday celebrations Credit: Instagram / @brooklynpeltzbeckham 'Brooklyn's influencer work is lucrative, and he has his Cloud 23 (hot sauce brand), which is beginning to do pretty well,' says a pal. 'He certainly contributes a lot financially to the marriage and, of course, Nicola is savvy and keen to make them a brand in their own right as a couple. "You'll notice all their recent red carpet appearances have been together, and they very much seem to come as a pair at the moment.' Case in point, their recent Glamour Germany front cover, a special 'Love Rules' edition for the digital mag. The highly tactile pair gave a touching interview, talking about their early days of courting. Came to a head Brooklyn said of his wife: 'You should marry your best friend. Someone who feels like home. For me, that's Nicola.' He also revealed his 'strict' parents banned him from getting a tattoo until the day he turned 18, while Nicola, 30, who is Jewish, said her first inking read 'family first' in Yiddish. Brooklyn's first tattoo, of course, was a tribute to his once-beloved dad. How sad, then, to see things turn out this way. In the same interview, the couple recalled their emotional wedding day — a day that has since proffered, as the late Queen might have said, 'very differing recollections'. In fact, it was recently claimed that Nicola cried on her wedding day after Victoria 'hijacked' the first dance. The Beckhams have furiously denied this, livid at the suggestion Victoria would deliberately upset her daughter-in-law. Ultimately, all anyone wants is for Brooklyn and Nicola to be happy, and for some sort of wider truce David's pal There is, though, a wedding video of the entire day which, I'm told, Nicola and Brooklyn have in their possession. They could, then, clear up any mistruths once and for all, if and when they want to. To recap, Brooklyn has not spoken meaningfully to his parents in seven months. Tensions came to a head last month when Brooklyn failed to attend former England star David's 50th birthday celebrations, despite him being in the UK that week. His friends claim he tried to meet his dad for a private coffee, but was rebuffed. The pair's last communication is understood to have been a 'happy birthday' text. While pals blame the fallout on younger brother Romeo's romance with DJ Kim Turnbull — which she has denied — the Beckhams point the finger of blame solely at Nicola. In truth, there has never been much love lost there — bar a brief detente around 18 months ago — and they accuse her of driving a wedge between Brooklyn and his once-inseparable family. At the same time, Brooklyn has developed a deep bond with the actress's own family — regularly praising them on Instagram and spending 'happy' time with them at their home. However, David's pals believe Father's Day on Sunday may have 'offered up some hope' — because Brooklyn did not use the occasion to praise his father-in-law. 'That would have been an utterly devastating kick in the teeth,' I'm told. OK, he didn't post a tribute to David, but he also didn't do one for Nelson. It's a tiny, silly thing, really — but everyone is hopeful it's an olive branch of sorts. 'It's all very messy but, at the end of the day, these are two loving families, albeit with very different views and core beliefs, who just want the best for their kids. 'There is no right or wrong, and it's heartbreaking for everyone involved. 'Ultimately, all anyone wants is for Brooklyn and Nicola to be happy, and for some sort of wider truce. It just takes someone to make the first move.' 10 Brooklyn 'bought' a £10million Hollywood mansion with his wife Credit: Instagram

Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders say they're getting a 400% increase in pay
The Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders say they are getting a serious increase in pay. One of the cheerleaders has said during the second season of the Netflix series 'America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders' that the members are getting a 400% boost in pay. The cheerleaders have been pushing for pay increases for years. In 2019, the Cowboys settled a lawsuit with a former cheerleader that led to the squad doubling the per-game pay, from $200 to $400. The latest raise is four times that. 'Our efforts were heard and they wanted to give us a raise,' four-year veteran Megan McElaney said on the show. 'And we ended up getting a 400% increase, which is like, life-changing.' According to ESPN, the Cowboys agreed to pay four cheerleaders a total of $2.4 million nine years ago to settle claims by the women that the team's longtime public relations chief, Rich Dalrymple, filmed them in the dressing room. Dalrymple denied the claims, and the club said its investigation found no wrongdoing by him. Dalrymple retired not long before the settlement became public in 2022. The Cowboys have been the most valuable pro sports team in the world for almost a decade, according to Forbes magazine. That number was $10.1 billion in rankings published late last year. "Happy' isn't even the right word for it,' former cheerleader Jada McLean said on the show. 'I think I was just ... kind of felt, like, a relief, like everything had paid off. And it was, you know, finally, we were done fighting.' ___
