I hadn't really learned much about nutrition and thought Special K plus very little else would make me skinny." The mum-of-three reminisced on her dieting experience, adding: "I wish I knew then what I know now. "I genuinely thought eating nothing would make me lose weight and I was always hungry. It's sad to look back and think what a young girl who doesn't like her body will deny herself." The weight Vogue was losing. MOST READ IN THE IRISH SUN She said: "My mum then began to force me to sit down and eat my dinner, she wouldn't let me leave the table until I finished the food. "Eating food was the last thing I wanted to do, proper things like pasta and chips were everything I hated at the time." Vogue Williams shows off her wedding outfit Vogue explained that if she tried to unpack her disordered eating it all boiled down to her being "uncomfortable with her height".

Nick Kroll Reveals Lady Gaga and Howard Stern as the Two Stars ‘Big Mouth' Just Couldn't Get
Big Mouth, Netflix's hit animated series following a group of friends navigating puberty, is coming to an end after eight seasons, following a rare model where its characters actually grow up. 'It is puberty and we really covered so much of what we set out to do and about this journey,' co-creator and star Nick Kroll told The Hollywood Reporter at the show's Los Angeles premiere on Thursday of the decision to wrap up. 'Most animated shows, they go on forever; people are frozen in whatever time they are in. Our show evolved and the kids evolved and they moved through time and they grew and they changed, and that was part of the joy of making the show.' More from The Hollywood Reporter Lady Gaga Inches Closer to EGOT Status After Sports Emmy Win John Krasinski Didn't Know Brother-in-Law Stanley Tucci Was His 'Fountain of Youth' Co-Star Until Midway Through Filming Tina Fey Explains That 'Four Seasons' Death and Teases "Starting From Scratch" for Season 2 Co-creator Andrew Goldberg echoed that after working for over a decade on Family Guy, where those characters all stayed the same age, 'I kind of assumed that our show would be the same. I remember having a conversation in season two where my other collaborators were like no, this is a show about changes, the kids have to get older and puberty is a discrete time of life, it doesn't go on forever. So it only made sense to end it once they were getting to that age.' On top of Kroll voicing dozens of characters himself, the show has welcomed over 200 guest stars throughout its run — but that doesn't mean they've gotten every A-lister they wanted. While celebrating Steve Buscemi — as a little cat called Mr. Pink — joining the final season, Kroll also noted they 'wanted to get Howard Stern and we couldn't get him. He did so much in inspiring the show; he's the best, he's the king. And Lady Gaga we tried to get as well, turns out she's busy.' Goldberg echoed, 'We really, really wanted Howard Stern to do the show; he doesn't do anything and we were no exception' and additional co-creator Mark Levin added they 'asked Lady Gaga to do a song in the last season and she was too busy, that was sad. But not surprising.' And when it came to deciding exactly how to end the show, the team, 'really went on a journey of figuring out how do you end the story of characters who are just beginning their lives? And that was a big challenge to figure out,' Levin explained of its teenage protagonists. 'Fear of the future and fear of the unknown is the thing that really jumped out as the biggest monster of all for them to confront.' Big Mouth's eighth and final season is now streaming on Netflix.

Nick Kroll Recalls Orchestrating John Mulaney's 2020 Drug Intervention: 'So Deeply Scared He Was Gonna Die'
Nick Kroll is opening up about the drug intervention he orchestrated for his longtime friend and collaborator John Mulaney in 2020. The Big Mouth co-creator and star got candid during a recent appearance on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast, where he recalled being 'so deeply scared that he [Mulaney] was gonna die' at the time. More from The Hollywood Reporter Nick Kroll Reveals Lady Gaga and Howard Stern as the Two Stars 'Big Mouth' Just Couldn't Get How Did Peacock's 'Poker Face' Reel in So Many Guest Stars? Natasha Lyonne's Gravitational Pull NeueHouse and Stacey Wilson Hunt Team to Launch Podcast Series 'My Hollywood Story' 'It was so scary and brutal to go through,' Kroll said. 'He was in New York. I was in L.A. It was the height of the pandemic. So it was incredibly stressful to be in the midst of the pandemic, trying to literally coordinate and produce an intervention, bringing a bunch of different people together, friends from college.' To add to the stress, Kroll had a lot going on in his personal life as well, including his pregnant wife nearing birth and filming Don't Worry Darling ('There was no stress there,' he quipped to Shepard, hinting at the film's drama). And then he said Mulaney 'was running around New York City like a true madman. And I was so deeply scared that he was gonna die.' Kroll went on to talk about the processes of planning an intervention, which also led to a revelation. 'You're all of a sudden going back and being like, 'Oh, that's why I've had an inconsistent friend for the last X amount of time,'' he explained. 'It gives you both empathy for them and also a tremendous amount of anger because they've been lying to you.' The Red One actor also shared an emotional phone call he had with Mulaney shortly before the intervention. 'I have a very clear memory of being outside of my house — someone was working inside my house, it was again [the middle of] COVID — sitting on the ground, on the phone with him, both of us crying, and me just being like, 'I'm so scared you're going to die,'' the comedian recounted. 'And I felt him feeling the same way, but also like, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah…anyway, I gotta go. I'm in this new Airbnb.'' Mulaney has previously detailed the experience of his intervention during his Netflix comedy special, Baby J. The intervention, which happened on Dec. 18, 2020, saw the comedian surprised by a group of friends, including Kroll, to address his misuse of cocaine, Adderall, Xanax, Klonopin and Percocet. He then spent two months in a Pennsylvania drug rehabilitation facility. Kroll later noted on Armchair Expert that after rehab, it still took some time for them all to heal from the experience. 'When he came out of rehab and started doing standup all about it, he was still pretty fucking pissed about the intervention,' he said. 'So he was pretty angry and all of a sudden, I was like, 'Oh, I don't know if I like having jokes about me.'' However, Kroll said he eventually recognized that the way everyone processes pain is different. 'What [Mulaney's] willing to share is what makes him so fucking funny and dynamic and intoxicating as a performer, that he's giving you a written version of his life, but he's giving you access to elements of himself,' he explained. 'And I myself am very guarded in certain ways.' Throughout their careers, Kroll and Mulaney have collaborated on several projects, including the Broadway play Oh, Hello and the Netflix series Dinner Time Live.

‘I had my first drink at 12', admits Vogue Williams as she shares ‘no shame' moment she experienced as teen
VOGUE Williams has recalled having her first alcoholic drink at 12-years-old, claiming: "We had no shame" The Irish model recently launched her first-ever autobiography titled 2 Vogue Williams has opened up about her young experience with alcohol 2 Vogue Williams recently launched her first autobiography, Big Mouth In the tell-all book, places a microscope upon her childhood, relationships and even her failed marriage with singer When it came to dissecting her younger years, the star was quick to admit that she was both "feral and uncontrollable". The 39-year-old recalled: "I had my first drink at 12, which is quite the transition considering I had a doll when I was 11." 'It was in my first year of secondary school and a few of my pals and I had planned when we would try booze. We got ourselves a litre of bulmers cider and shared it between six of us. READ MORE IN VOGUE WILLIAMS 'We decided we were hammered.' The podcaster confessed that herself and her friends began to wait outside their local off license and "ask strangers to buy them drink". She added: "We had absolutely no shame, but a surprising amount of people were okay with buying alcohol for a group of 12 year olds. Lucky for us." One weekend when her pal had a free house, Vogue confessed that she lied to her parents about having a chaperoned sleepover. MOST READ IN THE IRISH SUN Vogue and her friends then devised a plan, she said: "We decided to get a litre bottle of tequila between each pair of us, half a bottle each and that did the job.

TV Documentary panel: ‘Brats,' ‘Chef's Table,' and ‘Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band'
Gold Derby recently gathered together four top TV documentary filmmakers to discuss their passion for nonfiction storytelling, the art of translating someone else's life to the screen, and what films and TV shows inspired them to embark on careers in Hollywood. Joining our Meet the Experts: TV Documentary and Nonfiction roundtable panel are Brats director Andrew McCarthy, Chef's Table directors David Gelb and Brian McGinn, and Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band director Thom Zimny. Watch the full roundtable above. Click each person's name to watch an individual discussion. More from GoldDerby 'Big Mouth' says goodbye: cast and creators talk sex ed, celebrity crushes, and what's next Breakout star Owen Cooper admits 'Adolescence' was 'very out of my comfort zone' 'It's just an overwhelming wall of terror': Amanda Marsalis on directing 'The Pitt's' mass casualty episode "You just don't know what the hell is going to happen," says McCarthy, reflecting on the unpredictable nature of documentary filmmaking. He emphasizes the importance of adapting to unfolding realities. "I thought I would know where I wanted to go. Then, being able to see what is actually happening versus what I wanted to have happen — things were most successful when I was able to recognize that and pivot." McCarthy compares the documentary process to narrative filmmaking: "In narrative, you're running out of time, so you have to throw out your shot list and do it as a oner or something. In documentary, it was [finding the truth] and following that, but also bringing it back to the story you know you want to tell. There are a lot of interesting rabbit holes that have nothing to do with the story you're telling." Both Gelb and McGinn started out as aspiring fiction filmmakers. "When we started making Chef's Table, it was the beginning of this era where a cinematic approach — not that different from the narrative universe — could be brought to these subjects that are right outside our door," McGinn says. "One of the great parts of documentary filmmaking is how much you can learn as a filmmaker about yourself and about how other creative people operate. Inspirational role models exist in all walks of life and everyone has something to offer." Echoing McGinn's sentiments, Gelb shares the unique approach Chef's Table takes with its subjects: "Each episode is a life lesson. We've often found that the chefs don't actually know what the lesson is. We sort of disarm them with this four or five hour interview process. Through that, it becomes like a therapy session. There has to be a purpose behind what we're doing, and the chefs are searching for that as well. That synthesis is really meaningful. Every director on the show forms a bond with the chefs they're working with. We've been through this emotional journey together. That's what sets our show apart — the ability to go so deep, build that relationship, and then reflect it on the screen." For Zimny, his journey into documentary filmmaking — particularly projects focused on music — was influenced by his dyslexia and a deep connection to music. "Andrew mentioned letting go of the idea of control, and [Gelb] mentioned five-hour interviews. I relate deeply to that. You're unpacking things, you're in the moment. In the cutting room you're hoping you're not going to have this moment of, 'What did I get?' In the moment, it's five hours of association, being present, and listening." Zimny's background as an editor played a key role in shaping his filmmaking style. "I started as an editor. That was my deep connection with the musical rhythms of both language and cutting — and then just having a true love of music history." After sharing reflections on their creative processes, the filmmakers exchanged questions and complimented each other's work. They then revealed which TV shows or movies inspired them to become filmmakers. "Gilligan's Island," McCarthy quickly remarks. "I used to watch when I was a little kid and then I would go outside and pretend that there were cameras everywhere. My life was a television show. I remember being in my front yard thinking, 'There's a camera behind that tree over there.' It didn't last long, but it was certainly a moment a lightbulb went off." McGinn cites Apocalypse Now as the movie that first inspired him to make him films, but says Errol Morris influenced both him and Gelb the most as documentarians: "Fast, Cheap, & Out of Control and later Tabloid, because I love the way that people, through interview, almost by accident, would reveal the truth about themselves in his films." Gelb says Star Wars also had a huge impact on him, perhaps more so because of the toys associated with the film than the movie itself. "You could make up your own stories in your own little off-shoots and act them out," he explains. Zimny reveals he was obsessed with classic "Warner Bros. noir" films like Angels With Dirty Faces. "It had a narrative of good and bad," he explains. "I took my cassette player, recorded it against the TV, and would rewind it and listen, and listen — I was editing it in my mind's eye. That was the start of believing in a narrative so much that you feel like you're dropping into it. I was living in my own movie." Brats is streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.
