Brian Austin Green on Shannen Doherty, Luke Perry deaths
Don't miss out on the headlines from Celebrity Life. Followed categories will be added to My News. Hollywood actor Brian Austin Green has opened up about the deaths of 90210 co-stars Shannen Doherty and Luke Perry, saying the tragedies forced him 'not to take things for granted'. In 2019, Luke Perry, passed away from a catastrophic stroke at 52 years old. And in July last year Shannen Doherty, 53, died from breast cancer after a long battle with the illness. 'Luke's passing was so incredibly sudden. He was young. He was my age now,' Green told Stellar. 'And then Shannen passing, too, hit home the concept of: we're not those kids anymore. 'We're in a new period of life where we have to really value the relationships with people that we have, and not take things for granted, because it's unbelievable how fast you can lose something or someone that seemed so invaluable.' Hollywood couple Sharna Burgess and Brian Austin Green in their Stellar cover shoot, out today. Picture: Steven Chee for Stellar Green and Australian fiancee Sharna Burgess live most of the year in Los Angeles, California, with their three-year-old son Zane, but spend considerable time in Australia due to Burgess' role as a judge on Seven reality series Dancing With The Stars. After spending many months in the country, the couple are considering a more permanent move in the future. 'Australia is amazing. I love it,' Green told Stellar, in the couple's joint cover story.

Picture: Getty Images 'Believe me, we kick around the idea of having a second home there – possibly it even ending up being a first home at some point – you never know. When you have kids in school, it's a hard thing to do [to uproot them]. 'So we are looking at all options to see what makes sense. But having a blended family does not make things easy.' Aside from young Zane, the blended family includes Green and former Beverly Hills, 90210 co-star Vanessa Marcil's son Kassius, 23, as well as Green's other children Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11 and Journey, eight, with Megan Fox. Burgess, who is originally from Wagga Wagga in regional New South Wales, tells Stellar that their three-year-old son is the glue of the family. 'Having Zane has absolutely bonded everyone together,' Burgess said. 'I was always incredibly close with the kids as our relationship grew, but when Zane came along, it was like that piece locked in where they were, like, 'Oh, this is forever.'' Dancing With The Stars premieres at 7pm on June 15 on the Seven Network and 7Plus.

My 9-Year-Old Daughter Started Watching The Simpsons, And She Loves It. Here's Why I'm Overjoyed (But Also A Little Worried)
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. I'm not gonna lie. I watched a lot of shows that I probably shouldn't have when I was younger. Married…with Children, Beverly Hills, 90210, hell, even some of my favorite Black sitcoms had some questionable content for a little kid (for example, I was only 11 when I fell in love with the Dick Wolf crime drama, New York Undercover). Well, of all the shows that left a massive impression on me, The Simpsons had the greatest impact. I'm glad that I grew up watching it. Even after all these years, it's still one of the smartest shows on TV. So, when my 9-year-old daughter decided that she wanted to watch the series, too, I was overjoyed. But, now that I've watched several episodes with her, I'm also a little worried. So, here's why I have mixed feelings about my daughter's newfound enthusiasm for The Simpsons. First off, my daughter and I share a lot of commonalities. For example, we both have a limited palate, we're both massive pessimists (I'm sure she gets that from me), and we like a lot of the same entertainment. So, when she asked if we could watch The Simpsons together, I was over the moon. I've referenced jokes from the show ever since my kids were babies, and I have several Simpsons toys and books in the basement. I honestly have nobody to blame for my daughter's interest but myself, and I'm mostly okay with that. I love hearing her guffaw at jokes that had me rolling when I was a kid. And, nothing makes me happier than hearing who her favorite character is (in case you're wondering, it's Ned Flanders). What's also great is that unlike a lot of Simpsons fans, my daughter doesn't say things like 'The Simpsons peaked at Season 10.' Nor does she compare it to other shows like Bob's Burgers, which she also likes. Instead, she's been enjoying the episodes for the first time, going through the various seasons since it's on Disney+ (it's still the best thing on the streaming service, if you ask me). However, since she's been going through all the seasons… If you were born in the '80s like I was, then I'm sure you remember Bartmania. But, if you weren't, then let me explain. Bart Simpson was everywhere in the early '90s, and he was definitely the main focus of the show. So, even though the entire family was important, Bart was the star attraction. And, since he was the star, a lot of kids tuned in just to see him. Anyway, all of this is to say that a lot of the adult themes and jokes went way over my head when I was younger, since I wasn't focused on the 'adult' content. I was only focused on Bart. That said, my daughter is a lot smarter than I was, and she's not focused on Bart at all. In fact, she finds him kind of annoying. Instead, she's focused more on the adults, like in the episode, 'Homer's Night Out' where the patriarch gets caught with an exotic dancer, or in 'Life on the Fast Lane' in which Marge seriously considers cheating on Homer. I grew up with this show. In that way, even though there were jokes and themes that I kind of got when I was a kid, I understood a lot more of them when I became a teenager. This is because I watched throughout the years. But, since my daughter can just go through the seasons right now, there are some episodes with themes like adultery, or questioning one's faith, that my daughter's watched. That said… I mentioned episodes about questioning one's faith, and the one that resonated the most with my daughter was 'Lisa the Skeptic,' in which a so-called angel is uncovered in Springfield. My daughter, who always groans, 'Why do we have to go to church?' on Sunday mornings is definitely a skeptic, and possibly a future cynic (Again, most likely from me). She's always curious, and constantly asking me hard-hitting questions. When Lisa started to question whether a real angel was found in Springfield, I could tell my daughter wanted to know the answer herself. Once it was all over, and 'the angel' turned out to be a hoax, my daughter said, 'I knew it!' which actually made me feel pretty good. Because even though I'm her father, I'm also a teacher, and I want her to question things. I like that my daughter doesn't just believe everything she's told, and I'm happy that a show like this could make her think about her own beliefs. Yes, a show like Bob's Burgers is clever, and it has its own sort of intelligence. But, I don't think it matches the caliber of The Simpsons' storytelling. Even so… As I said, my daughter is smarter than I was at 9. That means she gets a lot of the more risqué humor on the show that I never understood. The ones that she doesn't get, she actually ASKS me what they mean. For example, in the episode, 'The Frying Game,' Agnes Skinner, who is elderly, casually remarks, 'Who do I have to gum to get a refill?' and I'm sure you could imagine that my jaw was on the floor. When my daughter asked, 'What does she mean?' I just shook my head and said, 'I don't know.' But, my daughter knew I was lying. She gave me the side eye. Also, since she is now a Ned Flanders superfan, she wanted to watch some of the episodes where he's married to Edna Krabappel. But, if you know anything about Edna (RIP, Marcia Wallace), you'll know how lascivious she could be. So, some of her jokes had me cringing next to her, who would often say, 'Oh!' at some of her lines. All of this is to say that I'm a tad worried that my daughter might be learning a bit too much when it comes to ribald humor. Even so… A few semi-dirty jokes is a small risk that I'm willing to take as long as it means that my daughter will get a crash course in learning about the past 60 years or so. Sure, as a '90s kid, I like that I can point out certain topical things to my daughter, like references to Twin Peaks, or Jurassic Park that were current when the show first aired. But, what I like even more is all of the much older historical references, like when the show mocks President Nixon, or JFK. In fact, I've shown my daughter several Presidents on the show, such as Clinton holding hands with Bob Dole in Treehouse of Horror VII, or even Trump himself in the more recent episodes. In a lot of ways, it's is a great introduction to the '60s, '70s, '80s, and '90s, and I like that I can teach aspects of history to my daughter through such a fun medium. Bob's Burgers is one thing, and The Simpsons is another. But, one show that I refuse to let my daughter watch is Family Guy. And, she wants to! Because a lot of her friends at school are fans. Naturally, with The Simpsons coming before Family Guy, my daughter doesn't see the problem with also watching that show. That said, anybody who's actually watched Family Guy will tell you that it's not for children. And, my problem is telling her 'No,' without explicitly telling her just why it is so much more coarse and vulgar. Now, don't get me wrong. I like the comedy. That said, I feel like I opened the gateway to my daughter when it comes to 'adult' cartoons, and I just hope that she doesn't try to sneak into my Hulu account to check it out when I'm in another room writing. What do you think? Do you also let your kids watch The Simpsons? If so, how young did you start them off?

30 years later, this Keanu Reeves movie nailed the future — stream it free on Pluto
In the year 2021, society has all but crumbled under the weight of a futuristic new technology called the internet. Megacorporations rule the world, while the masses suffer from a brain disorder called 'nerve attenuation syndrome' brought on by their addiction to cyberspace. "Johnny Mnemonic" wasn't just ahead of its time; it was downright prophetic. Released in theaters on May 26, 1995, "Johnny Mnemonic" was a box office failure. But in the decades since, it's become a cult classic thanks to the unlikely collaboration of screenwriter William Gibson (best known as the novelist who created the cyberpunk genre), director Robert Longo (a visual artist and first-time director suddenly at the helm of a $30 million blockbuster), and star Keanu Reeves. Together, they created a dystopian thriller that was met with a resounding shrug at the time but has gone on to become one of the most prescient movies of its era. "Johnny Mnemonic" stars Reeves as Johnny (no known last name), a 'data courier' whose job is to upload top-secret information into his brain using a special implant and then smuggle that data to its destination. At the start of the film, a group of scientists in Beijing hire Johnny for his services. They also warn him that the file is technically too large for his brain. He'll die if he can't deliver it within a few days, adding a race-against-the-clock element to an already frenzied story. Johnny soon arrives in the 'Free City of Newark,' a town so dangerous and lawless the government has ceded control to gangs and corporations. (Considering recent events in Newark, this feels surprisingly accurate in 2025.) Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. As we settle into the main story, it shifts from cyberpunk fantasy to dystopian hellscape. The film borrows liberally from 1981's "Escape From New York," imagining a lawless city full of bizarre characters where violence reigns supreme. Throughout his journey, Johnny is joined by a body-hacking bodyguard played by Dina Meyer (best known for her role on "Beverly Hills, 90210"), a freedom fighter played by Ice-T and a homicidal priest played by Dolph Lundgren. The script may be corny, but everyone onscreen is clearly having a good time and trying their best — with one surprising exception. Reeves seems simultaneously in over his head and totally disinterested in having anything to do with this movie. Perhaps the issue is his character, who appears to be just unfazed by the chaos around him. At the film's climax, Johnny gives a whiny speech in which he screams out: 'I want room service!' William Gibson was probably trying to make a point about consumerism, but it's hard to root for a character whose motivations are so pathetic. Behind the scenes, the making of "Johnny Mnemonic" was even more dramatic. In a 1995 interview with Wired, Gibson describes the entire experience as 'being part of what sometimes felt like a medieval military campaign.' Even getting to make the movie at all was an extraordinary challenge. Gibson and Longo originally envisioned a low-budget project that could explore the rising popularity of the internet in 1995 through the lens of a cyberpunk dystopia. But the studios weren't interested in an art house film. They wanted a blockbuster. 'We went in and asked for a million and a half, and they laughed,' Gibson told Wired. 'It wasn't until we started asking for much more that they started taking it seriously.' They ultimately settled on a much larger budget, but that came with the usual strings associated with a tentpole movie. Sony, which financed the film, got even more involved after Reeves' previous movie, "Speed," became an unexpected hit. At one point, they even pressured Gibson to include scenes with buses and explosions in an attempt to recreate "Speed's" success. Considering all that meddling, it's a miracle "Johnny Mnemonic" exists at all. While it may be an extremely imperfect movie, "Johnny Mnemonic's" legacy is impossible to ignore. The Wachowskis even used its depiction of the internet as part of their pitch for "The Matrix,' which took those concepts of life in cyberspace and the dangers of technology (and Keanu Reeves) and transformed them into something even better: an actual good movie. "Johnny Mnemonic is not a good movie." Whether it lands in "so bad it's good" territory or simply "so bad" is up for debate. Still, it's worth rewatching this bizarre cyberpunk epic that took a look at the internet back in 1995 and accurately predicted how this nascent technology would come to dominate — and ruin — all of our lives in just a few decades.
