Sadie Sink: Stranger Things star 'cast in Spider Man 4'
Stranger Things actress Sadie Sink is set to appear in Spider Man 4, according to US reports.Hollywood publication Deadline said she had been cast in the sequel opposite returning star Tom Holland.There is no word yet on which character she might play, but fans have speculated she could be introduced as X-Men mutant Jean Grey.The reports have not yet been confirmed by Marvel Studios or Sony Pictures, who are due to release the film in July 2026.
In Hollywood, it's normal for casting news to be reported in trade publications before the studio confirms it. This can be for a variety of reasons - it may be that an actor is in final talks but has not yet signed on the dotted line, or casting news is sometimes leaked by the studio to see how fans will respond, or by an actor's agent to generate excitement. However, in a few cases, the actor and studio decide not to proceed - so until we hear official news, it's still possible Sink may not be cast.
Spoiler warning: This section features plot details of the most recent Spider-Man film.The most recent Spider-Man film, 2021's No Way Home, was a huge box office success, grossing $1.9bn worldwide.The movie ended with Parker accidentally breaking open the multiverse and allowing two previous Spider-Men, played by Tobey MaGuire and Andrew Garfield, to return, with all three existing at the same time.As a result, Holland's Spider-Man decided to complete Doctor Strange's spell that erases his identity from the world, meaning his girlfriend MJ (Zendaya) and friend Ned (Jacob Batalon) would forget he had ever existed.Given the way the plot is likely to develop, Deadline said there were likely to be several new actors such as Sink added to the ensemble cast as a new collection of characters are brought in. Holland is currently filming The Odyssey, the latest film from Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan, but is expected to move on to Spider-Man when shooting concludes.
Sink's reported casting comes after she finished shooting the final season of Stranger Things, the horror series that has been one of Netflix's biggest hits since its launch in 2016.The show helped launch or boost the careers of several young stars, including Sink, Millie Bobby Brown, Noah Schnapp and Finn Wolfhard.Sink also appears in the musical O'Dessa, which has just received its world premiere at the SXSW film festival in Texas. From next week, she will also be appearing in Broadway play John Proctor is the Villain, which runs in New York until June.

Billy Joel says 'I'm not dying' after cancelling tour due to brain condition
The music legend's Murrayfield Stadium gig was due to take place on June 6, but was cancelled along with the rest of Joel's tour due to his health. Billy Joel was forced to cancel his entire 2025 tour, having been diagnosed with a brain disorder known as normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). The star was due to take the stage at Murrayfield Stadium on June 6, a gig which had previously been postponed to give him time to recover from surgery. The 'Uptown Girl' singer has been diagnosed with NPH, which is a condition that causes a build-up of fluid in the brain. The 76-year-old's team shared a statement with fans on May 23, apologising for the cancellation of his tour. It said that his brain condition"has been exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision, and balance.' And the singer added: "I am sincerely sorry to disappoint our audience and thank you for understanding.' However, since then the star has been quiet, and was notably absent from the screening of his new documentary 'Billy Joel: And So It Goes' last Wednesday, June 4, at Tribeca Film Festival. Despite his absence, he relayed a message to the crowd through the film's co-director, Susan Lacy. 'We know Billy wishes he were here tonight, and he asked us to convey that to you all. "In fact, he said, 'Getting old sucks, but it's preferable to getting cremated,'' Lacy told the audience, reported Deadline. He also assured his fans that 'he will be back.' The two founders of Tribeca Film Festival- Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal- also acknowledged Joel's health condition and absence. Rosenthal said: 'Billy wanted to be with us tonight, but as you may have heard, he's dealing with a health issue and had to postpone his performances, including this one tonight. "We know you will join us in wishing him a speedy recovery.' De Niro added: 'He's our piano man, a wonderful, integral part of the heartbeat of our city. "Tonight, we get to see the man behind the music and behind the legend. You're in for a real treat.' According to outlet NJ, radio host Howard Stern recently had a conversation with Billy Joel, in which the star urged him to let fans know that he 'is not dying'. During a recent episode of The Howard Stern Show on Sirius XM, Stern discussed a recent dinner he had with Joel. Stern said: 'He does have issues. But he said to me- so I'm not saying anything crazy- 'Yeah, you can tell people: I'm not dying.' He wants people to know that. "He's got to deal with some medical stuff. But he was delightful. We had a great time with the wives. Billy's doing okay.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

Nicole and Thom first met in 2019 on X-Factor: Celebrity when she was a judge and he took part in a boyband. The singer ditched tennis star Grigor Dimitrov as she began dating the Scottish sportsman. Four years later, the former rugby international got down on one knee in a romantic beach proposal during a holiday to Portugal. The pair have frequently been quizzed about their wedding plans over the last few years. But Nicole has always made it clear that they would hold off on making plans until she finished her current role. We will get married. We're engaged to be married when I'm not working. Thank God he is so patient Nicole Scherzinger Her St James Theatre final show is set to take to the stage on July 20, and Nicole's performance of Norma Desmond has made her a favourite to win Best Actress at the Tony Awards tonight. So with the official closing date coming next month, many have been left curious if she had started to think about wedding planning. When asked about it directly, Nicole said they plan to get married in Hawaii "soon", according to The Mirror. And she also praised her fiancé for being like a 'God' and having a lot of patience while she focused on her career. Nicole Scherzinger shows the difference of her face after EMFACE treatment She said: "We will get married. We're engaged to be married when I'm not working. Thank God he is so patient. "We'll get married back home in Hawaii, where my family is from." Reflecting on their relationship, she added: "It was on Celebrity X Factor, I'm not gross, okay. I met him on that, and I saved him so he had to come back. "We had actually auditioned them in the summer, and we didn't meet face-to-face until the winter. "And then after that we've been together ever since.' But Nicole insisted that she would not have been so successful in her breakout role in musical theatre if it weren't for Thom's support. The music icon thanked her fiancé for being so understanding while she "lived like a hermit" for almost two years. She told Sirius XM: "I live like a hermit, I try not to do much. LOVE STORY THOM pursued the Nicole for more than six years before he finally won her over on X Factor: Celebrity when he was competing and she was a judge in 2019. He first made a bid for her affections at the 2014 Global Gift Gala fundraiser in London but was rebuffed. Nicole was going through a bad patch with her then partner Lewis Hamilton and only wanted to talk about her relationship, giving Thom the cold shoulder. Undeterred, he continued lusting over her on social media before finally bagging the girl of his dreams during his X Factor stint with fellow rugby stars Ben Foden and Levi Davis in their band Try Star. A source said: 'Thom knew he'd have a lot of fun on the show and not just because of the singing. 'He's been after Nicole for some time and was confident that spending so much time in her company would give him the opportunity to woo her. 'In the end, she couldn't resist Thom's charms, despite the fact that she was meant to be judging him.' Nicole was so infatuated with Thom she ended up sending his band home in a bid to prolong the romance, conceding it would be harder to maintain the pretence the longer he was on the show. The couple went public at an exclusive Golden Globes after-party in Beverly Hills, posing for snappers on the red carpet. Before they put their romance in the spotlight, they confirmed the relationship with close friends by attending Simon Cowell's Thanksgiving bash in London. "I still take my meetings and do work that I have to do and wherever they need me. 'It's quite a gruelling schedule right now, doing this Tony campaign season. So I just tried to rest when I can. "I'm not much of a sleeper. I've never been. "But I've had to be disciplined to make sure I get six to eight hours, because my voice is my everything. "I feel like every performance, I leave my soul and my voice out there on the stage. "So I kind of live like a hermit. I don't really do much, and I just drink a lot of water.'

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker booed by WWE crowd as she holds baby
Kourtney Kardashian and her Blink-182 drummer husband and their one-year-old son made an appearance at WWE's Money in the Bank event at the Intuit Dome Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker were booed by WWE crowd as she held her baby this weekend. The celebrity couple went to WWE's Money in the Bank event at the Intuit Dome along with their one-year-old son Rocky Thirteen but it seems some attendees weren't too happy that they were there. The three of them were showed on a large screen inside the event but a video circling on the internet shows that some fans were booing the family. However, it seems the situation didn't bother the couple much as Kourtney continued smiling and Travis flashed a peace sign at the camera. Kourtney kept focused on her little one as she stayed looking at him and cradling him in her arms. She kept her baby's face away from the camera as she sat him on her knee and faced him. Kourtney and Travis didn't stay for the whole event but stuck around just for the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match. A clip from later on showed the pair making their way out of the stadium. The musician held their son and greeted fans along the way while following Kourtney. This comes soon after it resurfaced that Kourtney previously claimed she was 'socked in the face' by a random woman while attending one of Sean 'Diddy' Combs ' birthday parties in 2001. At the time, long before the Last Night rapper was put on trial, he rented out TAO nightclub to celebrate his birthday with a host of stars. In an old clip from Khloe Kardashian's 2016 show, Kocktails with Khloé, Kourtney recalled the moment during a chat. "I got socked in the face cuz I was waiting in line for the bathroom at TAO, which Diddy rented out the whole restaurant. It was for his birthday," she said. Kourtney told the story and said his invitations were sent out in the form of a CD. Diddy recalled: "I remember somebody getting socked [in line at the bathroom]." Kourtney explained that she was waiting in line at the bathroom when a girl "cut in front" of her and turned around and punched her when the star told her to wait her turn. Kourtney said: "I was like, 'Excuse me, I'm next.' And she literally just went, like, boom right in the face. I didn't know what to do. Nobody was with me. I was by myself." After the woman left, Kourtney said she went into the bathroom stall and cried before going to find her sister Khloe. Khloe joked she tried to search for the woman to "beat her up" for hurting Kourtney.
