Gwyneth Paltrow was 'sad' when ex Brad Pitt married Jennifer Aniston, bombshell book reveals
Gwyneth Paltrow put her Oscar winning acting skills to good use when her ex-fiancé married another woman. A new biography about the Shakespeare in Love star, which also examines her relationship with Ben Affleck, claims Paltrow, 52, was mournful when Brad Pitt, 61, tied the knot with Jennifer Aniston in July 2000, but tried to keep it to herself, according to an excerpt published in US Weekly. In Gwyneth: A Biography, author Amy Odell claims that Paltrow got snappy with a reporter at the Toronto International Film Festival in September of that year when asked about her love life while promoting Duets, the film she starred in, directed by her father, the late Bruce Paltrow. 'The reporter then asked how she felt about Brad Pitt marrying Jennifer Aniston [in July of that year]. "Are you really asking me this question?" Gwyneth replied, her eyes now "daggers." "I can't comment on this kind of thing." In reality, Gwyneth confided to friends that she'd felt sad when she learned they were getting married. (She was also fond of telling them that Brad "has terrible taste in women.")' According to an excerpt shared with People, Paltrow and Pitt met when she auditioned for a role in Legends of the Fall. She didn't get that part, but Pitt reportedly suggested she play his wife in the horror classic Se7en, which began production in 1994. Paltrow had also been offered a role in the Keanu Reeves project, Feeling Minnesota, and when deciding which role to take a friend reportedly asked, 'Well, who do you want to date, Brad Pitt or Keanu Reeves?' According to Odell, 'The two would walk around the set holding hands, and smoked cigarettes together outside their trailers, Gwyneth holding hers like a thirties movie star.' Daily Mail has reached out to Paltrow's representatives for a statement regarding the allegations in the book. The two got engaged in 1996, but there were doubts. After Paltrow received rave reviews for her work in 1996's Emma, she allegedly confided in her friend, makeup artist Kevin Aucoin, that Pitt 'wanted to be with her but seemed to feel threatened by her success and all the attention she received.' '[Aucoin's] advice to Gwyneth was frank, "You really need to end this,"' Odell wrote. Pitt and Paltrow called it quits in 1997. When Pitt and Aniston split in 2005, following his affair with future ex-wife Angelina Jolie, Paltrow, who had been signed as the face of Estee Lauder's Pleasures fragrance, couldn't help but make a snide remark at a dinner with executive Aerin Lauder. According to the US Weekly excerpt, 'At one dinner, the two were talking about Brad Pitt. According to someone familiar with the discussion, Gwyneth allegedly told her, "He's dumber than a sack of s–t."' This seemed to refer to their very different backgrounds. Paltrow and Pitt fell in love while working on the 1997 horror film Se7en. ''The two would walk around the set holding hands, and smoked cigarettes together outside their trailers,' according to the book; Pictured in Burbank, CA in October 1995 Gwyneth: A Biography will be released on July 29. Daily Mail has reached out to Paltrow's representatives to for a statement regarding the allegations in the book; Pictured in Beverly Hills in April 2023 Pitt grew up in a very religious family in Springfield, MO, whereas Paltrow was brought up in Manhattan and went to an elite private school. In a 2023 interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, looking back at her breakup with Pitt, Paltrow said she was 'totally heartbroken' after the split but 'It was the right thing at that time, but it was really hard.' 'There were a number of things that had happened, he was nine years older than me — he knew what he wanted, he was ready to do it and I was kind of all over the place.' Gwyneth: A Biography will be released on July 29.

Denise Richards ex Aaron Phypers claims he caught RHOBH star ‘cheating' on him as she accuses him of domestic violence
DENISE Richards estranged husband Aaron Phypers has made explosive claims that he caught his wife "cheating" on him. It comes just days after Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Denise, 54, accused Aaron of domestic violence, alleging he "threatened to kill her and caused her at least three concussions." 5 5 5 Denis also claimed that Phypers, who filed for divorce on July 7, would hack her laptop and phone and download all of her text messages. Now Aaron has revealed what triggered their explosive July 4 fight and subsequent divorce. He claimed he found out about Denise's alleged hookup with another man earlier this year, when he found text messages between them on Denise's laptop. Aaron told TMZ in an interview that the messages included selfies and plans for "rendezvous at a hotel". He told the publication that he confronted Denise about the alleged affair and they decided to work it out and stay together. But when the pair got into a huge fight over the 4th July weekend, it prompted Aaron to file for divorce. He also claimed that his phone went missing for more than 24 hours and later found it smashed to pieces in a bin. Aaron alleged that he questioned Denise about the phone but she "hit and scratched him", adding that he believes the phone had proof of her alleged affair. The Sun has reached out to Denise's rep for comment. Denise alleged that she suffered physical and verbal abuse throughout her seven-year marriage with Aaron, including strikes to her head and face and degrading profanities, according to court documents obtained by The U.S. Sun. "Throughout our relationship, Aaron would frequently violently choke me, violently squeeze my head with both hands, tightly squeeze my arms, violently slap me in my face and head, aggressively slam my head into the bathroom rack, threaten to kill me," Richards said in court documents. "Aaron regularly threatened to 'break my jaw' and would cry, beg me to stay, and promise to get help - none of which ever happened," the actress added. "Aaron has caused me at least three concussions. Aaron has told me that he has left recording devices to record me while I was alone in hotel rooms and at my townhouses." Most recently, Denise alleged that on July 4, over the course of two hours, Aaron repeatedly "got within two inches of my face and screamed at me degrading profanities, including calling me a c**t, whore, and a piece of s**t." Denise added: "Aaron's actions were scaring me to the point that, as with nearly all of Aaron's abuse of me, I was afraid that Aaron may kill me." The Wild Things actress claimed she never called law enforcement on her husband because Aaron "threatened to kill himself" if she reported him, she said in court documents. VICIOUS ATTACK During an incident on January 17, 2022, Richards alleged that Phypers viciously used the heel of his palm to strike her in her left eye, causing massive swelling and bruising. Richards claimed that moments before the incident, Phypers became "paranoid" claiming that several potted plants he had just purchased for his workspace contained listening devices. The actress said Phypers began screaming and that's when a police officer, who would regularly station in the parking lot of the Malibu property, approached the door. However, after the officer left, Richards alleged that Phypers continued screaming then "used the heel of his palm to strike me in the eye while calling me a 'f**king b***h.'" Richards claimed a family member witnessed the attack, which caused significant bruising to form around her left eye. "The bruising took a month to heal. I had to cancel two professional meetings and rely on a makeup artist - who was aware of the situation - to cover the injury for an unavoidable work obligation," she added. She claimed her husband insisted she tell others that she had "walked into a piece of his equipment stored on the building's balcony." A judge granted Richards a temporary restraining order against Phypers that will last until August 8, when the estranged couple are due in court. Phypers was ordered to stay 100 yards from Richards' home, place of work and vehicle. He was also ordered to return her laptops and everything he downloaded from her phone. DIVORCE SHOCK The U.S. Sun previously reported that Richards was caught by surprise when she learned about Phypers divorce filing. Sources close to the former Housewives of Beverly Hills star said she felt "utterly betrayed." "She never in a million years wanted to get another divorce and she never in a million years thought he would do this to her," the insider told The U.S. Sun in early July. "It's a betrayal; he promised he would never do this. She made it crystal clear to him thousands of times that they could work through anything no matter how big the problem but divorce was never an option. "He agreed. Then did this. There's more questions than answers right now." Phypers is requesting spousal support to continue with their lavish lifestyle, which cost over $105,000 a month, according to court papers filed in Los Angeles. "Denise thinks it's egregious he is seeking spousal support from her after she has been financially supporting him all these years," the source added. 'She thought he was different but turns out he's what people warned her about.'

Johnny Carson's friend shares intimate details about the King of Late Night's final days
The best friend of late night TV host Johnny Carson has revealed the icon was uncharacteristically affectionate towards the end of his life and believes he knew his time was up the last time he saw him. Tech mogul, Howard Smith, spent many dinners sitting across from The Tonight Show host, but the last one was different than all the rest. Carson, who died in January 2005 at the age of 79, had invited Smith and his wife out after catching his friend at a pharmacy in Malibu. He picked the pair up and drove them to a dinner, where they'd spend hours laughing. 'John was the funniest I've ever seen him,' Smith told Fox News. 'He went on and on, told stories about different people that he had on the show… We just laughed so hard.' Previous dinners, they would only spend a few hours together before parting ways, but just days before his death, Carson insisted on keeping everyone out late. 'We were the first people [at the restaurant] and the last to leave,' Smith explained. 'Looking back, there must have been something going on in his head that night. 'At the end of the night, he drives us up to our house, gets out of the car. He gave both my wife Jane and me a kiss and a hug. Then he tells us: "I love you." John was not standoffish, but I'd never seen him do anything like that. 'I think he knew he was dying, but didn't want us to worry.' Carson then took off back home and 16 days later, he passed away. 'When I think about that night, I feel he wanted to tell us that he would be okay, and that he loved us. That's the John I knew,' he told the outlet. Smith also recalled watching his friend deteriorate. The two often played tennis together, but eventually, it switched to coffee at John's after the comedian admitted the physical activity became too much. 'On Saturdays and Sundays, you come over to my house. I'll make you a coffee, and we'll just sit around, talk about life,' he recalled Carson saying. The pair had played tennis multiple times a week and it created a lifelong bond, even if Smith didn't know it at the time. 'I'm still grateful for that day when we first decided to play tennis together,' he told Fox News. Now, Smith has written a book called My Friend Johnny: The Last 20 Years of a Beautiful Life with Johnny Carson and Friends. He wrote the book because he wanted people to see Carson as he had seen him behind the scenes. 'I wanted people to know John – the John I knew,' he said. Carson hosted The Tonight Show from 1962 to 1992, which garnered him the nickname King of Late Night. The show won six Emmys. The heavy smoker died of emphysema, a lung condition that causes shortness of breath, in 1999.
