Lars von Trier threw water at Bryce Dallas Howard and insulted her father

Yahooa day ago

Lars von Trier threw a glass of water in Bryce Dallas Howard's face and insulted her father because he wanted to see her "angry face". The 'Jurassic World' actress worked with the director on 2005 film 'Manderlay' and she revealed her first meeting with the moviemaker on the set in Norway came as a bit of a shock as she was subjected to a barrage of insults and a jibe about her director dad Ron Howard. Bryce told The Times newspaper: "He started insulting me: 'Your father's a terrible filmmaker.' I went: 'Lars, what are you trying to see?' and he said: 'Your angry face. I don't know what it looks like'." She went on to reveal von Trier then threw a glass of water in her face and Bryce responded by doing the same to him. The actress added: "So I threw a glass of water in his face. He goes: 'Why did you do that?' and got up and left. That was my introduction to the Lars von Trier experience." However, Bryce is adamant she wasn't upset by the encounter. She explained: "It wasn't like I went to my room and cried or anything. I was sort of delighted by it." Bryce's dad started as an actor before moving behind the camera and she hopes to do more directing in the future, but she will never give up acting completely like he did. She added: "I don't want to let go of acting as my dad has done. That would be really heartbreaking because I learn so much being on a set. I have so much fun.' Bryce is close to her filmmaker father and he recently shared a sweet tribute to her on Instagram to mark her 44th birthday earlier this year - declaring she has far exceeded the family's expectations with her huge success in the movie business. Ron wrote: "Happy Birthday, Daughter! You've always made your mom and me happy and incredibly proud. "But the scope of what you've achieved with your family and career and the future you are building exceeds our wildest hopes from back when you were this adorable kid we loved so much." It came just a day after Bryce shared her own tribute to her dad on his birthday, writing in a post on Instagram: "I love you so much Dad, more than words can say."

Former 'Bachelor' star Vanessa Grimaldi says she had a second miscarriage: 'My heart aches for the baby I never got to meet'

Vanessa Grimaldi is opening up about her second miscarriage. On Monday, the former 'Bachelor' star took to social media to share her feelings and 'grief' while navigating her second pregnancy loss. The 37-year-old Montréal native shared a photo of herself to Instagram, drinking a Tim Hortons Iced Cappuccino along with her thoughts on the 'complicated' grief she's experiencing. 'This is my second miscarriage. Saying that out loud still feels surreal. Especially finding out during my ultrasound. Again,' she said. 'It adds another layer to the grief, one that's heavier, more complicated and harder to put into words.' Grimaldi said she's been finding comfort in her 2-year-old son Winston's bedroom. The former reality star said she was so 'grateful' for her son, who she shares with husband Josh Wolfe.

'I keep thinking about Winston as a newborn. All the firsts, the sleepy snuggles, the tiny milestones. I imagined getting to live through those moments again.' Grimaldi said her 'mind feels foggy' and that she's been doing her best to keep busy instead of 'sitting too long' with her grief. 'Grief is strange,' she added. 'It sneaks in, even in the middle of gratitude.' She added that her husband brought her an iced cappuccino, something she had avoided since she found out she was pregnant. 'It feels simple, but also like the first small step back to myself.' She concluded her post with a message of 'love and comfort' to other women experiencing loss. 'And maybe the next time you're sipping an iced cappuccino you'll be reminded that you're not alone in this. I see you, I'm grieving with you.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vanessa Grimaldi (@vanessagrimaldi30) In the caption of the post, Grimaldi shared the statistic that 1 in 4 known pregnancies end in miscarriage. That number could be higher, since many women can miscarry before they know they're pregnant. Eighty per cent of miscarriages occur within the first trimester (before the 12th week of pregnancy), however, the term applies to pregnancy loss before the 20th week. Pregnancy loss after the 20th week - the halfway point of a full gestation- is considered a stillbirth. Grimaldi's post earned an outpouring of love from followers, many of whom have also dealt with pregnancy loss. "Such a beautiful post. I have two angel babies. My heart is with anyone who shares the same loss and grief. God Bless," one follower wrote. "[I] so needed this. I too am going through a miscarriage," another said. "No one talks about this and the heartache and tribulations of grief! Hang in there... focus on you and Winston." "I had one myself in January and the pain is still so profound," someone else said. "Do all your crying, you're entitled but get right back up and carry on for your family, especially your son. I had my miscarriage on the day of my daughter's second bday. When I look back on her pics, my smile is there but my eyes are not." In 2024, Grimaldi shared that she had experienced a miscarriage via social media. 'I knew I wanted to help other women feel less alone in their miscarriage journey,' she wrote. 'I know the shock, the pain, the confusion, the feeling of hopelessness and uncomfortable 'When are you having another?' Conversations all too well.'

Passenger's life changed forever after chance encounter on flight: ‘Meet-cute fantasy'

It wasn't exactly love at first flight — but somewhere between the airplane aisle and window seat, a little turbulence turned into a whole lot of sparks. When Los Angeles native Megan Meza noticed a 'cute' guy approach her row on an April 2022 flight to London, she immediately began fantasizing about an airplane romance between her and the handsome stranger. Little did she know, the man would be Brit Freddie Gershinson, who would eventually become her husband-to-be. Advertisement Los Angeles native Megan Meza noticed a 'cute' guy approach her row on an April 2022 flight. meggymeza/tiktok 'I immediately thought he was cute. I saw him pause near our row, and I thought, 'There is no way he is going to sit next to me',' she told the Daily Mail. 'So when he put his backpack on the seat, I couldn't believe it. It's like every single girl's dream to have the cute guy sit next to you in some meet-cute fantasy. Advertisement 'And here it was suddenly happening. I actually texted my mom (who was sitting in a different row) along with my sister and friends, being like, 'CUTE GUY IN MY ROW. SOS.'' Initially, Meza was too nervous to chat up the six-foot-two stranger, but when he dropped his AirPods and couldn't find them, she piped in with advice to look at the row behind. While she 'had no other expectations,' the pair spoke for six hours during the flight, speaking over the woman sitting between them in the middle seat. 'At this point, I was like, okay, this is fun and flirty. Like he had every opportunity to go back to his music, but we kept chatting,' she dished. 'I [couldn't believe I was] having a connection with a total stranger,' she said, adding they stopped chatting when the cabin lights dimmed at night. Advertisement The couple got engaged in 2024. Megan Meza/Instagram But Gershinson was determined to keep the conversation going. He passed over his phone, asking, 'Have you got a boyfriend?' in the Notes app. Meza quickly responded 'No' with a smiley face. Advertisement After the flight landed, the pair exchanged phone numbers and the Brit said he returned to London 'with a smile on his face' because of her.' 'At that point I was like — I have never met a man who is so confident and upfront with his emotions and it sucks that I will probably never see him again,' Meza said. 'We continued to text immediately after the flight. About three days after we met, he called me and said he hadn't felt a connection like this before, and wanted to see if I would come stay with him in London [after my family vacation].' Unable to adjust her return date, Meza returned to the U.S. but told Gershinson that if they were still texting in the summer, she'd visit him. Three months later, after they called each other 'every day' on the phone, she returned to London. 'On the third day [of the trip], he took me to meet his parents for tea, then surprised me with an early birthday dinner, and then we met his friends for drinks,' Meza revealed. 'It was that night I thought, I can't go back home and that be the end of it. Everything was too natural – his family, his friends, our connection. 'He was so intentional, kind, and so confident in who he was. So that night, we had a long talk about all of it, and we made it official. His words were, 'I like you too much to not try to make this work.' So we did.' Three years after their meet-cute, the happy couple is getting married. Meza urged singles to keep an open mind because you'll never know when you'll meet your happily ever after. Advertisement 'I saw a man who I thought was very cute, and I used that as an opportunity to have this 'yes' moment on a plane where it's like, I'm never going to see him again. What do I have to lose?' she told PEOPLE. 'Dating is a drag and with Freddie, I never felt like we were playing games. If I had known this was waiting for me, I wouldn't have wasted another day crying over boys who didn't deserve the tears,' Meza added. 'So don't lose hope. The right person is out there and it would have sucked to settle and never have found this.'

Touch Grass With an Unexpected 10-Song Nature-Bathing Playlist

By Maya Salam Dear listeners, As a pop culture reporter and editor at The New York Times, I spend much of my life toggling from one of a few modes to another: full-focus viewing, extensive conversation about said viewing, deep-think typing and — to cleanse my soul of all I've seen on all the screens — blissed-out nature bathing. Still, whether I'm kayaking down a river, hiking up a mountain, hanging around a campfire or swaying in a hammock, my phone tags along so I can listen to music. My tastes run the gamut, but us outdoorsy types sometimes get a reputation for gravitating primarily toward folk, reggae and acoustic light-rock tunes. There's room in my heart for it all. But often, especially under a radiant sun or shimmering moon, I enter a mental space that can best be described as 'forest girlie vibing hard.' The necessary ingredients: a splash of existential euphoria, a twist of party energy, an addictive groove and beats packed to the brim. Here are 10 songs I'll have on repeat day and night while vacationing in Acadia National Park this summer, listening solo on headphones or triangulated on Bluetooth speakers with my crew. If the sun is bright, no matter where you are, this list will hit, Maya Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
