Jason Biggs wants a fifth American Pie movie

Perth Now18-05-2025

Jason Biggs wants to make another 'American Pie' movie.
The 47-year-old actor is "very proud" of the comedy franchise - in which he played Jim Levenstein - and how it shaped his career, and after the cast last got together for 2012's 'American Pie Reunion', he'd love to reunite on screen with the likes of Eugene Levy, Jennifer Coolidge, Seann William Scott, Chris Klein, Tara Reid, Alyson Hannigan, Natasha Lyonne and Eddie Kaye Thomas once again.
Asked about being part of a potential 'American Pie 5', he told People magazine: 'Of course, of course, I would. I've always said I would 100% be down to work with those people again and to play that character again, and you know, it's one of the best experiences of my life.
'I'm very proud of it.
'I'm proud that 26 years later people are still talking about it, so I would for sure do another one."
Jason still thinks of Eugene as his "second dad" thanks to the bond they built working on the movies.
He said: 'He lost his house in the [Los Angeles] fires, he and his wife, and so I spoke to him after that.
'Eugene is one of my favourite people in the world. He really is a second dad in a lot of ways to me and so he's just the best. He taught me so much.'
The 'Orange is the New Black' actor is also in regular contact with other members of the cast.
He said: 'Eddie Kaye Thomas, who played Finch in the movies, is one of my best friends. He lives on the East Coast, so we see each other, we talk a lot. Then everyone else, you know, there's texts that go around for sure.'
Jason previously admitted he was delighted with the long-lasting impact of the 'American Pie' movies, the first of which was released in 1999.
He said: 'There's now another one or two generations of people that have seen the movie, identified with the movie, liked the movie.
'It's been a really, really special thing for me.'

King of the Hill star Jonathan Joss fought 'so hard to stay alive' after he had been shot

Jonathan Joss "struggled so hard to stay alive" after he had been shot. The actor - who was best known for voicing the part of John Redcorn on the animated TV series King of the Hill - was killed in a shooting on Saturday (31.05.25) in San Antonio, and now his husband Tristan Kern de Gonzales has recalled his last few moments. He told People: "Everything happened so quickly. Everything was very close range and due to the severity and the trauma of the various head wounds, I knew that there was no hope of saving Jonathan's physical form, and he was struggling so hard, trying to stay alive. It was just really, really close range." Tristan urged Jonathan that he "didn't need to keep fighting" as he lay dying, but claimed that the alleged gunman Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja was just "laughing" at them throughout the ordeal. He said: "I held my husband's face together as best I could, and I told him how much I loved him, and that none of this was his fault. I told him he needed to cross over easy. He didn't need to keep fighting. "I told him that no matter what, and in some way, shape, or form, we'll always be together, and he'll always be my husband. "[The alleged gunman] was laughing. He mocked me for telling my husband that I loved him and used the same homophobic slurs. "The flashbacks are very, very intense, and they affect my whole body." Police have said that Alvarez, ​​56, admitted to shooting and killing the Parks and Recreation actor and he was released on a $200,000 bond on Monday. Just days ago, Tristan revealed that the whole incident had taken place at the site of their former home, which burned down earlier this year. In a Facebook post, he explained: "My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done. "Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic. "When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw. "While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired. "Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life. "Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future. "He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other. "I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved. (sic)"

Billy Joel's first ex-wife breaks her silence more than 40 years after her divorce

Elizabeth Weber has "great" memories of her marriage to Billy Joel. The 78-year-old former business manager was married to Uptown Girl singer Billy, 76, from 1973 to 1982 and has never spoken out about their marriage until now. She told PEOPLE: "It was great then, it's great whenever I think about it, and it's great now." Elizabeth has revisited that part of her life as part of the Billy Joel: And So It Goes documentary and admitted that it was the two-parter's executive producer Steve Cohen who persuaded her to get on board. "I love Steve and I worked with him, and he's a close friend of I thought, 'Wait a second. I have a really nice life. I have a lot of privacy. I immediately [agreed]." It was then that director Susan Lacy approached Elizabeth and because she did it in such a "personal way", she admitted that the whole thing "felt right" for her to commit to. "Susan approached me in a very personal way, and it resonated with me, and Billy licensed the music, so I knew that there would be good music. "So it felt right — and it still does." Steve also noted that he and Elizabeth have a long-standing friendship and even though there was some "reluctance" for her to sign onto the documentary after such time away from the spotlight, he knew she had to do it. He said: "Elizabeth and I have a friendship that has lasted since we first met. "She was there at the very beginning when I got hired, and...I will tell you, there was reluctance in the beginning because she's been out of the public eye and she's been maligned incredibly in the blogosphere. Following his marriage to Elizabeth, Billy went on to tie the knot with model Christie Brinkley in 1985 and has Alexa, 39, with her but they split a year later. He was then married to author Katie Lee from 2004 until 2009 but then tied the knot with Alexis Roderick in 2015 and has daughters Della and Remy with her.

Diana Ross makes surprising admission about her children in a rare interview

Diana Ross turns to her children for "advice" on various things. The 81-year-old music legend is mother to Rhonda, 53, Tracee, 52, Chudney, 49, Ross, 37, as well as 36-year-old Evan from various relationships, and admitted that these days, she is the one who is more likely to be in need of help and support. Asked if her children still ask her for advice, she told People: "Yes, and no. I ask their advice on many things. Rhonda travels with me on tour. Evan is always there for important events that I may attend. My five children really take care of their mom." The Chain Reaction hitmaker also has eight grandchildren, and when asked what "type of grandma" she is, she admitted that she just wants to be in their "presence" and does not hesitate to offer herself as a babysitter. She said: "That's a very sweet question. I just want to be in their presence. I want them to see me, and I want to be able to see them. If I'm needed, for sure I will babysit. Being with my grandkids means everything to me. If spoiling them means loving them – Yes! I do that, I do a lot of that. "When I recently arrived at Evan's house, Ziggy ran to me with his arms open to give me a hug and a kiss; that meant the world to me. And when I visit Everlee, she piles all her stuffed animals on me, and she has names for every one of them. That stays in my heart." The former Supremes star is heading back on the road this summer for a UK tour and is looking forward to have her entire family come along on the journey with her. She said: "I am very passionate about performing live. I love looking out at the audience and seeing faces and singing directly to them. My daughter Rhonda will accompany me on stage to sing the song that she wrote for me called "Count on Me." My entire family, my children and grandchildren will travel with me on this tour."
