Key Devil Wears Prada cast member not returning for sequel
Adrian Grenier will not be reprising his role as Nate Cooper in the sequel to the 2006 comedy-drama classic, Entertainment Weekly reported on Monday.
Meanwhile, original stars Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci are confirmed to be returning for the sequel, which started production on Monday.
The Post has reached out to Grenier's rep for comment.
In The Devil Wears Prada, Grenier, 48, plays a chef and Andy Sachs' (Anne Hathaway) college boyfriend. But as Andy advances in career at Runway magazine, their relationship falls apart. Nate later chooses a new job as a Boston sous-chef over Andy after she quits Runway.
In a 2021 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Grenier opened up about fans labelling Nate the real villain of the film.
'When that whole thing first came out, I couldn't get my head around it. I didn't understand it,' the actor admitted. 'Perhaps it was because I wasn't mature as a man, just as Nate probably could've used a little growing up. I was just as immature as him at the time, so I couldn't see his shortcomings.'
'But,' the Entourage alum added, 'after taking time to reflect and much deliberation online, I can realise the truth in that perspective. Nate hadn't grown up, but Andy had … she needed more out of life, and she was achieving it.
' He couldn't support her like she needed because he was a fragile, wounded boy … on behalf of all the Nates out there: Come on! Step it up!'
Disney's 20th Century Studios confirmed on Monday that The Devil Wears Prada 2 started filming.
The studio, as well as Hathaway, 42, and Tucci, 64, announced the news with a teaser clip of two red pump heels.
'The Devil Wears Prada 2. Now in production,' the Instagram caption read.
Director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna are returning for the sequel, while Kenneth Branagh is reportedly joining the cast as Miranda Priestly's (Streep) husband.
The sequel, according to Variety, will follow Miranda 'as she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing and as she faces off against Blunt's character, now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs.'
The hit 2006 film was loosely based on Lauren Weisberger's book of the same name, written about her experience as an assistant to longtime Vogue editor Anna Wintour.
Streep portrayed the Wintour-esque editor of Runway magazine, while Anne Hathaway and Blunt's characters played her overworked assistants.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 does not have a release date.

Jon Bon Jovi dragged into dispute over $65 million mansion
Jon Bon Jovi has been dragged into a property dispute after he reportedly refused to sell his $US43 million ($A65 million) mansion to a mysterious buyer who's snapping up properties in the sought-after area. According to the Wall Street Journal, an anonymous buyer has 'been quietly assembling one of the most valuable private estates' in Palm Beach — which sits mere minutes from President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort. So far, the unnamed buyer has forked out $US250 million ($A380 million) on four separate homes in the Florida enclave in recent months. The estate is said to include a $US178 million ($A271 million) piece of prime oceanfront land that was initially put on the market by cosmetics mogul William Lauder — who is heir to the Estée Lauder fortune — in 2023 for $US200 million ($A304 million), as well as two separate homes that sit across the street from that plot. Sources told the Journal the unidentified real estate mogul is far from done with the spending spree. The buyer is said to already have their sights set on another investment property: a Mediterranean-style mansion that sits alongside their newly acquired waterfront land. The home is owned by the 'Livin' on a Prayer' singer.

Yet, the apparent real estate scheme has reportedly hit a major snag with Bon Jovi, who is said to have 'resisted overtures to sell his property'. Property records seen by Realtor indicate the seven-bedroom, 12-bathroom home was last purchased in July 2020 for $US43 million ($A65 million) via an LLC — of which Bon Jovi's longtime business manager Charles Sussman was listed as the manager. The home had originally been listed for $US44.9 million ($A68.3 million) in January of that year and was described as a 'stunning direct oceanfront estate' complete with a workout room, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, private in-home elevators, and two oceanfront loggias, as well as a separate pool cabana. Bon Jovi's home sits directly to the left of the Lauder land that was reportedly purchased in February of this year in an off-market deal. Sources told the Journal the buyer paid close to the reduced asking price of $US178 million ($A271 million) for the plot. The land was originally purchased by Lauder in two separate deals. The first acre was bought up in 2020 for $US25.4 million ($A38.6 million), one year before the businessman added the second 1.8-acre property for an undisclosed sum. Initially, the two plots had been home to two separate oceanfront mansions, which Lauder demolished to make space for his own enormous dwelling. However, he shelved those plans and opted to put the vacant land on the market. In addition to that expansive plot, the anonymous buyer is said to have also picked up two dwellings that sit directly behind it, although neither dwelling ever came on the market. Property records show that one of those homes was owned by Thomas Harvey and his wife, Cathleen Black, who bought the dwelling for $US4.2 million ($A6.3 million) in 2018. Though Realtor estimates the home is now worth around double that, the Journal reports that the buyer paid a staggering $US18 million ($A27 million) for it. Mr Harvey told the outlet in an email that the person made an 'unsolicited offer' on his house — while adding that he does not know their identity. Days later, the dwelling next door to Mr Harvey's property was also sold, this time for $US30 million ($A45 million), according to the Palm Beach Daily News, having previously been registered to a trust. That home, which was also purchased in an off-market deal, had last traded hands for $US5.3 million ($A8.07 million) in 2017 and was last linked to an LLC. Both properties, per the Palm Beach Daily News, were most recently purchased via LLCs that are registered in Delaware: Creekshore LLC and Mango Leaf LLC. According to The Real Deal, discussions about the potential purchase of Bon Jovi's home are still ongoing, despite the singer's reluctance to part ways with his property. The buyer is also said to have begun conversations about buying the home that sits on the other side of the Lauder land. That home is currently owned by casino mogul William M. Rickman Jr., who purchased it in 2016 for $US13.1 million ($A19.9 million). Built in 1935, the property boasts six bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms, as well as water frontage. Though the identity of the buyer has not yet been confirmed, sources have claimed to the Real Deal the person believed to be behind these multimillion-dollar deals is Microsoft mogul Charles Simonyi, who spent years working alongside Bill Gates. Gates' name was also thrown into the mix of potential buyers, along with former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, suggesting the deals all have strong ties to the computer company. All three men boast incredibly impressive property portfolios, and each owns at least one dwelling in the popular Seattle enclave of Hunts Point, Washington State which is widely considered to be something of a haven for billionaire tech moguls.

Couple's shock discovery after buying 145-year-old home
This drop-dead gorgeous home in the US comes with a macabre pedigree. Ashley Berken and her wife were on the house hunt in October when they discovered a 145-year-old Victorian property within their budget, the 39-year-old told Newsweek. They couldn't believe their luck — the Wisconsin home offered enough space for their four children, two home offices and a whole lot of Old World character — all for $US305,000 ($A464,000), the New York Post reports. However, the listing failed to mention that the property was formerly a two-time funeral home. Funeral operations at the house supposedly ceased in the 1960s, according to Ms Berken. MORE: Fresh blow for Perry amid split 'Let go': Common item Mariah refuses to own 'Never coming back': Depp reveals sad demise Since purchasing the spooky home, Ms Berken has since taken to TikTok to share life inside the captivating property, from slide shows of the home's various vintage doorknobs to debating renovations in the embalming room. Clearly, many are intrigued by this unusual home considering her TikTok account, @thefuneralhomehouse, has close to 28,000 followers and more than 200,000 likes. 'I feel like breathing new life into this space is the perfect intended use for it,' she said in the video. One of her plans is to install a small gardening area next to a nearby window. The ornamented property boasts enchanting and surprising details throughout its upper floors, including a tin ceiling in the kitchen, intricate inlaid wood floors, a 10-foot mirror, stained glass windows, a grand staircase and sculptural light fixtures. It also has stunning millwork and original details throughout, but the real story of the home lies in the basement. The expansive subterranean floor — Ms Berken would eventually learn — held the embalming room and casket showroom. The latter of which she's considering turning into a hangout space for her children. Ms Berken told Newsweek that she wasn't aware of the home's deathly history until she noticed ramps in the garage designed for transporting bodies. A quick search of local records proved her suspicions. Still, Berken called the home 'my absolute dream come true.' The 39-year-old recalled her enduring love of the 1991 classic 'My Girl,' a film in which one of the young protagonists lives with her family in their funeral home.

Behind Suki Waterhouse's cover of Role Model 'Look At That Woman' for Like A Version
Suki Waterhouse knew she wanted to cover Role Model's 'Look At That Woman' as soon as she heard it on the record. Plus it helped that she was a big fan of his, too. "I went to a Role Model show a couple of weeks ago in LA and I was just obsessed," she said. "I knew that I wanted to do that song in particular because it's so smooth and I feel like it sate nicely in my vocal register." To Suki, 'Look At That Woman' is a "sneaky heartbreak song" that reminds her of Fleetwood Mac – one that has the potential to stand the test of time. But for her cover, she wanted to put not just her own twist on the track, but a feminine bent entirely. "I wanted to flip it on its head and do it from a female perspective," she said. "And turn it from a heartbreak song for a guy into, like, a celebratory song from a woman's perspective. I was imagining looking out to all these incredible women that are in music right now, and yeah I was kind of singing it for them." Damn, Suki, you're breaking our hearts with this ode.
