Julianne Moore's net worth: From luxury cars, properties, and endorsements - A look at the Siren star's earnings
Julianne Moore, the acclaimed American-British actress, is making headlines with her portrayal of Michaela Kell aka Kiki in the new Netflix show Sirens. Julianne has carved out a remarkable career in Hollywood, amassing a net worth of $55 million. She rose to fame in the early 1990s, recognised for her emotionally rich performances, particularly portraying women in distress. In 2020, she was ranked 11th in The New York Times' list of the 25 Greatest Actors of the 21st Century. Julianne Moore made a name for herself with a series of strong supporting roles during the '90s. Her breakthrough came with Robert Altman's Short Cuts in 1993, followed by impressive turns in Vanya on 42nd Street and Safe. By the mid-1990s, starring roles in blockbusters such as Nine Months and The Lost World: Jurassic Park made her a global name. Oscar nominations poured in for her performances in Boogie Nights, The End of the Affair, Far from Heaven, and The Hours. Other standout roles include appearances in The Big Lebowski, Magnolia, Hannibal, and Children of Men. In the 2010s, she continued to shine with The Kids Are Alright and her award-winning portrayal of Sarah Palin in Game Change. Her 2014 performance in Still Alice, where she played a linguistics professor diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's, earned her the Golden Globe, BAFTA, SAG Award, and ultimately, her first Academy Award. That same year, she starred in Maps to the Stars and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1. She followed this with more strong roles, including appearances in Wonderstruck, Suburbicon, and Kingsman: The Golden Circle in 2017. Moore's success in film translated into an impressive property portfolio. In 1999, she purchased a duplex loft in New York's West Village for $911,500, later selling it for $1.95 million in 2002. In 2003, she acquired a townhouse in the same area for $3.5 million, which she attempted to sell for up to $12.5 million. She still owns this property. She also owns a home in the Hamptons, purchased in 2007 for $1.05 million. Although she listed it for sale in 2015, she later removed it from the market. During the 2020 pandemic, she and her family stayed there frequently, though they eventually moved to a nearby 10-acre property with enhanced security after an unexpected and unsettling incident involving a drunken intruder. Julianne Moore's car collection reflects a mix of practicality and opulence. Her most modest vehicle is a Toyota Prius, priced at approximately $24,525. She also owns a luxurious Mercedes-Benz S-Class worth $112,150, and the pinnacle of her collection is the Lexus LS 600hL, valued at $113,150.

Kerry native Riona looking forward to long awaited Siamsa Tíre homecoming after 25 years away
There's been a lot of water under the bridge since then for Riona, now a mother and wife, who went on to become an actor on London's famous West End before she then turned her creative and comedic talents towards the world of social media where she is now a bona fide star with over 367 thousand followers on Facebook and Instagram. Speaking to The Kerryman this week, Riona said that it was that that time in her youth that she spent with the members of Tralee Musical Society that has allowed her to have the career that she has now as it gave her all the skills and confidence to put herself out there for the world to see. "Those are all really treasured memories to look back on,' she said. "Especially as a teenager, I really thrived in Tralee Musical Society. I found my people — people I could truly connect with and feel safe around. What's brilliant about a group like Tralee Musical Society is that you're not just mixing with other teenagers. I was interacting with people of all ages — younger and older — and that gave me so much confidence. It showed me I could get up in front of them, sing, and perform,' she continued. The last time Riona stood on stage at Siamsa, she recalls, was performing with Tralee Musical Society in either a production of 42nd Street or one the group's variety shows. "I have great memories of so much great shows with them over the years like Hot Mikado and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The Joseph show stands out especially because it was back in 1997 and because it did so well, we got to do a second run of it and we were absolutely buzzing about this,' she laughed. "I'm just so excited to go back and see everybody that I won't have seen in so long,' she said. Riona's show on June 5 is called This is All Too Much and it will see her team up with her friend and partner in comedy Olga Thompson. Between them, they've racked up over 1 million followers, 1 billion views, a Writers' Guild Award, and more viral videos than hot dinners. The duo are well known and acclaimed for their comedy songs that tackle the unspoken truth about motherhood, midlife, menopause and the many indignities of adulting – with harmonies, heart, and a healthy dose of hormonal chaos. ADVERTISEMENT Now firmly established in the Over 40s Club, Riona said that she and Olga are tackling their perimenopausal panic head-on with laugh-out-loud songs, searing honesty, and a shared desire to feel visible in a world that thinks mums should just smile quietly and fold socks. It's a case of so far, so excellent for the show, Riona told The Kerryman. "The response to the show on tour has been amazing so far,' she said, an amazing feat considering that she had never previously ventured into the area of stand up comedy. "I was so scared and terrified and you're thinking 'oh god why am I doing this to myself when I could just be at home?' but thankfully, it went incredibly well,' she said, recalling the first performance of this new show. "It [the show] is full of lots of musical comedy and that's interspersed with stand-up and I talk a lot as well about things like menopause and perimenopause and that stuff that hits you like a ton of bricks once you hit 40. It's so amazing the amount of people that can relate to that and it's great that we're now getting to a place in society where these things can be talked about openly and they are not these things that are hidden behind closed doors,' she continued. "There's a lot of ups and downs in the show, There's a lot of laughing but there's a few tears as well,' she said. One incident in particular that particularly touched Riona was one that occurred after they had finished a recent performance of the show and they had stayed behind afterwards to meet some of those in the audience. "I was chatting to one woman after a show and I just gave her a hug and she actually messaged me later and she told me that she lives on her own and that she hadn't had a chance to share any of her experiences with any other people and that the hug that I gave her was the first time she had had any physical contact with anybody for over two years. That hug, she said, was just amazing for her. "It was a lovely moment and a reminder that you never know that what you're doing can have such an effect on people. Yes, you're doing comedy but it still means something to people, it was really nice,' she continued. One of the biggest issues raised in the show by Riona is that of body positivity and body acceptance. It's a subject that Riona herself said said that she has dedicated quite a lot of time to working some comedic results. Getting in a bikini, wearing the clothes that you like, not stressing so much about covering up, that was all part of the process for me in recent years. In the show, I made this sort of musical comedy about that whole process and how I got from A to B to C,' she said. "I tell a funny story in the show about my addiction to Cadbury's Creme Eggs and how, for the longest time, they were not a safe food because if I had them in the house, by god they're gone! One time I ended up buying 12 of them and sure the box of 12 were gone by the end of the day and before I knew it, it was two months later, I had a 10-a-day Cadbury's Creme Egg addiction and I was two stone heavier!" she laughed.

Migrant gangs are taking advantage of New York's weak juvenile-justice laws
The pint-sized Diablos of 42nd Street — Tren de Aragua's JV squad — are Exhibit A in the case against progressive state and city policies that empower juvenile street gangs, and indeed encourage older gangbangers to recruit the kids. Yes, Biden-era open-borders policies let TdA set up shop here, but New York's own policies gave us the Dickensian 'little devils.' Migrant thugs aged 12 to 17 brutally attacked two NYPD cops who tried to stop a 'wolf-pack-style' mugging in Times Square over the weekend; police have arrested five suspects so far, thanks significantly to the gang database that progressives want to eliminate. Allegedly led by a 12-year-old mastermind, the Little Devils robbery crew has more than 34 known members with over 240 arrests among them, per police. By law, these tween and teen terrors must have their crimes adjudicated in Family Court, where judges are reluctant to remand even the worst offenders to juvenile detention. That near-immunity encourages adult gangbangers to do heavy underage recruiting, yet another perverse result of 'reforms' like the Raise the Age law. But the powers that be don't want to hear it: Last year, Democrats ousted 'progressive' Albany DA David Soares for blaming soaring youth gun violence on the state's bungled criminal-justice reforms. New Yorkers can at least hope to see career-criminal Tren gang-groomers deported, but 'asylum seekers' are only part of the problem. Teens and even tweens caught with loaded weapons, in violent attacks or in repeated crimes shouldn't go to Family Court for little more than lectures; police and prosecutors must be able to treat them as the menaces they've become. In a press conference Tuesday, Mayor Eric Adams pointedly asked city and state lawmakers, 'Whose side are you on?' Good question. But will any of the candidates in the city's Democratic mayoral primary stand with the mayor in demanding the Legislature stop siding with the criminal class?

Britain's Got Talent star and professional dancer Chantel Bellew dies weeks after birthday
Professional dancer Chantel Bellew, who competed on season 13 of Britain's Got Talent, has died. Her death reportedly comes a month after her 34th birthday. Bellew's passing was confirmed by her friends on a newly created GoFundMe page, set up to assist her family in giving her 'the send-off she deserves.' 'It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beloved Chantel, as we navigate through this incredibly difficult time, we want to honour her life and the beautiful impact she had on everyone who knew her,' the statement read. 'Chantel was more than a daughter, wife, sister, niece, cousin and friend. She was a kind, loving, and passionate spirit who brought joy and laughter to so many. Chantel was a talent second to none who was the life and soul of every party, I am sure you will agree she was a character that nobody will ever forget,' it continued. 'As Chantel's friends, we would like to help the family give Chantel the showbiz farewell she deserves.' It was noted that donations will be used to offset the 'significant' costs associated with funeral and memorial expenses, while 'all remaining funds will then be donated to to provide support to others that might be suffering with mental health.' The statement didn't mention a cause of death; however, according to the Daily Mail, Bellew died at the hospital of a suspected overdose. The outlet additionally reported that before her death, Bellew had struggled with depression. Bellew lived in Widnes, Cheshire, where she taught dance and singing in recent years, per GB News. She auditioned for Britain's Got Talent in 2019 before being eliminated in the quarter-final round. Although her time in the competition was brief, she managed to wow hosting duo Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, known familiarly as Ant & Dec, during her untelevised audition. In an Instagram post made at the time, Bellew shared a clip of the presenters looking impressed by her performance. 'Keep your eye out on BGT,' she wrote in the caption. Bellew's dance career went far beyond Britain's Got Talent. She had previously been a part of the U.K. tour of The Greatest Showman, in addition to appearing in the 2016 production of 42nd Street in Paris. Stephen Mear, the director of 42nd Street, paid tribute to Bellew on Instagram, writing: 'This has really shocked me. Such a wonderful funny person with a big heart. Also, one of the best tappers I've ever had the pleasure to work with.'
