Ellen DeGeneres 'selling mansion and pub' in Cotswolds
The former host of The Ellen DeGeneres Show moved to the UK last year with her wife and Arrested Development star Portia de Rossi.
Their move was allegedly in protest against Donald Trump's 2024 election win, but a report in The Sun in October reported the couple had bought a Cotswolds property, predating the election.
Problems have arisen since their move, with reports of flooding last year in the area where the house is located.

This prompted a recent move to a different mansion in the Cotswolds area, around 30 minutes from the last residence.
The couple are selling their first UK house now since moving out, which also comes with its own pub.
Yet, according to a fresh report in the Daily Mail this weekend, the property has been listed privately and not on the general housing market.

The report in the national newspaper reads: "A new life in the Cotswolds has not been without its challenges for ex-US chat show host Ellen DeGeneres and her actress wife Portia de Rossi, as their house suffered flooding which led to them buying a second home nearby.
"Now their first mansion, which they bought for £15million, is up for sale – not on the open market but only to the 'right buyer should they approach'.
"I think the biggest draw is that the house has its own pub. What's not to love?"
The couple have been spotted out and about locally, with a sighting made last year at Jeremy Clarkson's Oxfordshire pub, The Farmer's Dog.

‘The Gilded Age': How The HBO Drama Created A Castle Fit For A New Duchess
Gladys deserves the mother of all castles after the ordeal she went through in New York City. But production didn't need to go to England to find the perfect home for the new Duchess of Buckingham. Two different estates in Newport, R.I. — along with one in Long Island — served as Sidmouth Castle in the episode titled 'A Different World.' To achieve the opening shot, however, director Deborah Kampmeier relied on an actual pond in England to project the image of Gladys (Taissa Farmiga) and Hector (Ben Lamb) riding a carriage through the estate grounds. More from Deadline 'The Gilded Age' Courts Another Series High Audience With Season 3 Wedding Episode Carrie Coon Talks Emmy Nomination, Future Of 'The Gilded Age' & Whether She'd Return For 'The White Lotus' Season 4 Emmys 2025: Where's My Show? Why Some Of Your Favorites Won't Be Nominated This Year 'We put the visual effect of the carriage in upside down in the water, and then the wide shot of it moving through the countryside. That's England,' said Kampmeier. 'And then as we approach the castle, that is an approach to an estate in Newport. We brought in background actors to converge upon the carriage, and then a big crane goes up and over. We actually built onto what was already there in our visual effects. That's one piece of the puzzle.' The entrance and several of the castle rooms featured in the episode are from the Newport estates, while the sitting room and long hallways are from a mansion in Long Island. 'It is a collage that we use to create this epic castle feeling of a castle, using what we had available to us,' the director said. 'We've used up pretty much every mansion in Newport.' While Gladys is certainly accustomed to living in a large house, her new one has to feel to feel different — and so much worse. 'It was important to feel like she's walking into a very cold, very epic space in which she feels isolated and alone,' said Kampmeier. 'We decided to keep it quite gray, to reflect both a feeling of England since we were not in England and to reflect a feeling of that location as well as the inner life of Gladys … just this gray, isolated, lost girl who's really like a fish out of water.' Directing for The Gilded Age is 'an extravagant experience,' adds Kampmeier, who also helmed episode 2 and the upcoming episode 6. 'This is a show where it's very luxurious to be able to create a really epic shot that is going to stay in the final cut because the audience is asking for it rather than jumping right to a closeup,' said Kampmeier, whose other credits include Outer Range, Star Trek: Picard, FBI: International and Tales of the Walking Dead.

Uma Thurman Says She Didn't Realize ‘Pulp Fiction' Would Be As Iconic When She Was Making It
Though now widely recognized as a seminal film with indelible cultural influence — sparking references, parodies and homages aplenty since its 1994 release — Pulp Fiction, created on a small seven-figure budget, wasn't something star Uma Thurman initially realized would have such a watershed impact. In a recent interview with The Times U.K., the Oscar nominee discussed her four-decade-plus career and turn alongside Charlize Theron in Victoria Mahoney's The Old Guard 2, released July 2 on Netflix. More from Deadline 'Squid Game' Is Still Blowing Up For Netflix Charlize Theron On Studios' "Risk" Aversion Toward Action Films With Female Leads: "Guys Will Get A Free Ride" 'Old Guard 2' Director Victoria Mahoney On Charlize Theron & Uma Thurman, Being #1, Sequels, 'Star Wars' & Miles Davis 'I knew it was special, you could tell from the writing, the uniqueness,' Thurman said of the Quentin Tarantino- helmed and written feature, 'but it was a relatively small film.' Amid its debut at Cannes, where it won the coveted Palme d'Or, Thurman had already been acting for 10 years. At 24, she starred as Mia Wallace, the wife to Ving Rhames' crime boss and an aspiring actress, for which she was Oscar nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category. Though her black bob cut, monochromatic attire and penchant for cigarettes comprised an iconic look for the era, Thurman wasn't Miramax's first choice for the project — with Michelle Pfeiffer, Meg Ryan, Holly Hunter and Rosanna Arquette being considered — and stated previously she was unsure about taking on the role. 'He wasn't this revered demigod auteur that he has grown into,' she told Vanity Fair previously, adding she was in a 'funny little slump' following the box office failure of Even Cowgirls Get the Blues and that the vulgarity of the film made her initially hesitant. 'And I wasn't sure I wanted to do it because I was worried about the gimp stuff. No one could believe I even hesitated in any way. Neither can I, in hindsight.' Elsewhere in her interview with The Times, Thurman spoke of her daughter, Stranger Things actress Maya Hawke, and how she avoids giving her professional advice: 'Oh, she knows what she's doing. She went to Juilliard, thank God. She actually finished high school. And what I did learn [about mothering] is that nobody listens. So it's really about being there for [my kids] rather than telling them what to do,' she said. Pulp Fiction, about two hitmen — portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta — and how their exploits intersect with the lives of a cast of characters existing in the criminal underworld of Los Angeles, also stars Bruce Willis, Tim Roth, Christopher Walken and Harvey Keitel. Considered Tarantino's magnum opus, the flick was nominated for seven Oscars, winning for Best Original Screenplay. Thurman can currently be seen flexing her Kill Bill-era action skills in The Old Guard 2 as well as Showtime's Dexter: Resurrection, now airing its first season.
