Sarah Jessica Parker admits 'cruel' criticism about her looks left her 'sobbing'
In the latest episode of Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy podcast, the actress and television producer discussed the negativity she faced while starring in the hit show Sex and the City. "Discussions of my physical person (were the hardest)," Parker, 60, said. "Like, stuff that I couldn't change and wouldn't change and had never considered changing, or still even after hearing something that was like, 'What? Somebody would say that?' - even still, no interest in changing it." The Hocus Pocus star then noted that she had never considered confronting the people who mocked her appearance.

What Happened to Lou Christie? Lightnin' Strikes Singer Passes Away
Lou Christie, the falsetto-voiced pop icon best known for his 1966 chart-topper 'Lightnin' Strikes,' died at 82; his family confirmed the news earlier today. A standout figure in 1960s pop music, Christie became known for his soaring falsetto and unique style. He left a lasting mark with a string of Billboard hits that defined his career. Here's what we know so far about Lou Christie's death. Lou Christie, the Pittsburgh-born singer-songwriter, has died at the age of 82. He was known for his signature falsetto and a string of chart-topping hits in the 1960s. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Christie passed away Wednesday at his home in Pittsburgh following a short illness, as confirmed by his wife, Francesca. Lou Christie was born Lugee Alfredo Giovanni Sacco in Glenwillard, Pennsylvania, on February 19, 1943. He gained fame with Billboard Hot 100 hits, including 'Lightnin' Strikes,' which reached No. 1 in February 1966. MGM Records released the song in December 1965, with Charles Calello producing it and The Delicates providing backing vocals. Christie's musical career began in 1963 with 'The Gypsy Cried' and 'Two Faces Have I,' both co-written with longtime collaborator Twyla Herbert. He continued to climb the charts with 'I'm Gonna Make You Mine' in 1969 and a 1974 rendition of 'Beyond the Blue Horizon.' His other singles included 'Outside the Gates of Heaven,' 'Big Time,' 'Are You Getting Any Sunshine?' and 'She Sold Me Magic.' In March 1966, Christie released 'Rhapsody in the Rain,' which peaked at No. 16 but was banned by several radio stations due to suggestive lyrics. A revised version later received broader airplay. 'We were makin' out in the rain/ And in this car, our love went much too far' was changed to 'We fell in love in the rain/ And you and I were feelin' no pain.' Christie toured with Dick Clark's Caravan of Stars and recorded his final album in 2004. He later performed alongside Frankie Avalon and Fabian as part of Dick Fox's Golden Boys. His Instagram account shared, 'He was cherished… His absence leaves a profound void.' His wife, Francesca, and their daughter, Bianca, survived him, while his son, Christopher, died in 2014.

Tyler Perry denies ‘scam' sexual assault allegations against him made by The Oval actor
Tyler Perry has vehemently denied the sexual assault allegations made against him by one of his former actors, calling the accusations a 'scam'. The 55-year-old actor and filmmaker is being sued for alleged sexual assault, battery, quid pro quo, and workplace sexual harassment by an actor who starred in his long-running political drama, The Oval. The actor, Derek Dixon, who appeared on both the six-season drama and its spinoff Ruthless as Dale, filed the lawsuit in the Los Angeles Superior Court on 13 June. In the filing, obtained by The Independent, Perry is accused of using his 'success and power' and his 'considerable influence in the entertainment industry to create a coercive, sexually exploitative dynamic' with Dixon while he was employed as a series regular on The Oval. In response to the complaint, Matthew Boyd, an attorney for Perry and TPS Production Services, LLC, said, "This is an individual who got close to Tyler Perry for what now appears to be nothing more than setting up a scam. But Tyler will not be shaken down and we are confident these fabricated claims of harassment will fail." The lawsuit claims that Perry initially promised Dixon 'career advancement and creative opportunities, such as producing his pilot and casting him in his show, only to subject him to escalating sexual harassment, assault and battery, and professional retaliation when Mr Dixon did not reciprocate Mr Perry's unwanted advances'. Dixon alleges that in 2020 Perry climbed into bed with him after a night of drinking and that Perry aggressively groped his buttocks while the pair were in Perry's trailer on the set of The Oval. Dixon allegedly met Perry in September 2019 while he was working for the event company that organised the opening party for the media mogul's Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, Georgia. It's further claimed that from then on, Perry sometimes texted Dixon sexual advances and other times he messaged him about helping him find a job. After Perry offered Dixon a role in The Oval, the actor quit his job at the events company and Perry's alleged advances became more frequent. Dixon claims he was worried he would lose his job if he refused Perry's advances outright, so he continued to maintain that he was simply not interested in sex. At the end of one season, Perry wrote into The Oval that Dixon's character had been shot multiple times, but left it unclear as to whether the character had died. Dixon says he interpreted this as Perry putting pressure on him to maintain their relationship or otherwise be written out of the show. Dixon also alleges that Perry intimated he was interested in producing a show he had written, called Losing It, as a way of making him more dependent on the producer. Dixon says that he then called Perry's lawyers to check if the pilot was moving ahead, only to be told that it wasn't. He also claims that he was assaulted by Perry during a 2020 trip to the Bahamas and in 2021, while staying in Perry's guest house, he was again sexually assaulted and, fearing that he would be raped, slept inside a locked bathroom. A few days after the incident, Perry allegedly called Dixon and blamed his actions on testosterone supplements. He again promised to make Dixon's show and bought the rights but never took action to produce it. According to Dixon, after he complained about the alleged misconduct, 'defendants did not make any investigation into the complaint and did not take any steps to prevent further harassment from occurring.' As a result, Dixon 'had to quit his job working on the last season of The Oval,' a decision that cost him around $400,000 in lost wages. 'Dixon did not want to be sexually harassed or be placed in danger of a sexual assault again,' the filing states as his reason for leaving the show and giving up the money. Dixon claims that as a result of Perry's actions, he suffered from severe depression, anxiety, stomach pains, and nausea and was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). He is suing for $260 million in total damages as well as legal expenses.

Who Is the Father of ‘Love Island USA' Star Huda's Daughter? 5 Things to Know About Her Ex Noah
In and out of the villa, Huda Mustafa has become a major topic of conversation on Love Island USA season 7. Huda, an original islanders, quickly formed a connection with Jeremiah Brown, which received backlash from Peacock viewers who felt the couple weren't open to forming other connections. The drama escalated when Huda told Jeremiah she was a mom. "I'm a mommy," she revealed on the show. "She's 4. I've been a single mom for like four years now. I've never introduced a man to my kid. No man has met the standards." Jeremiah — who looked quite distraught when he first learned about Huda's daughter — said he needed to sit with the information. While they stayed together, things have been a bit rocky, and during episode 12, Huda was nearly voted off when Ace Greene and Nic Vansteenberghe claimed she wasn't being genuine. 'Love Island USA' Season 7: Meet the Hot New Singles Looking for Love in Fiji Off screen, Huda's ex Noah Sheline remained largely tight-lipped about her reality TV experience. He spoke out, however, after seeing the backlash Huda was getting on social media. 'She's maybe not doing a great job idk I don't watch the show but I don't like that I'm seeing so much negative s*** on my page or even clips of it about her,' he wrote via Instagram in June about the 'unhealthy" hate. 'It's not my job to police her or the people in my comments, but I will say what you guys do will affect her mental health and my daughter's maybe in the future." Keep scrolling for everything to know about Huda's ex Noah: The former couple dated in the late 2010s before welcoming their daughter, Arleigh, in July 2020. It's unclear when they split. While Huda has been filming in Fiji, Noah has been documenting his quality time with Arleigh. 'Simply my greatest love in the world, my princess and she's a daddies girl," he wrote via Instagram while captioning another post with Arleigh, 'I love you, I love you, I love you ... million times more.' According to his social media, Noah is in the U.S. Army as a combat engineer. According to Love Island fan accounts, Noah posted and then deleted his reaction to Huda saying she was a single mom. "People think I'm not a present father because my bm act like she do it alone on a show," he allegedly wrote in a post shared on social media. "Us unbothered." Noah elaborated in another post, writing, 'Not sure what else to say or if I'm talking to a wall of social media. I just ask people be nice. It's a tv show. Y'all are watching people date I don't think it's that serious to put someone down a hole of bullying. Regardless of how ridiculous she might be or seem.' Huda, meanwhile, revealed she was a mother during a conversation with Jeremiah in a June episode, saying, "I like for you to get to know me on a deeper level. But I just hope — regardless of whatever I say — I hope that you stay true to your feelings." She continued: "OK, so I did want to bring up something because I wanted to be honest with you and I wanted to make sure that I really trusted you and I really liked you. I am a mom."
