Joshua Jackson seeks emergency custody order modification against ex-wife Jodie Turner-Smith over daughter's schooling
The custody clash between Joshua Jackson and his ex-wife Jodie Turner-Smith over their daughter Juno has taken a messy turn. The actor has filed an emergency court motion, claiming that Turner-Smith made a major parenting decision without his consent. School switch sparks dispute On Friday, 30 June, the 'Dawson's Creek' star submitted a legal request to modify the custody order he shares with Turner-Smith. As reported by Us Weekly, according to court documents, Jackson alleged that Turner-Smith moved their five-year-old daughter Juno to a different school without consulting him. Jackson, 46, stated in the documents that Turner-Smith believes it is 'no big deal to force Juno to start over with a new school.' He also raised concerns that 'Jodie is attempting to create a scenario where Juno travels with her rather than attending a traditional school.' Seeking stability for Juno In response, Jackson is asking the court to keep Juno enrolled at her current school for the next year. He's also requesting that both parents must approve any future changes to her schooling together, ensuring decisions are made jointly. This legal move comes not long after Jackson and Turner-Smith finalised their divorce. The pair, who welcomed Juno in April 2020, had previously agreed to share joint legal and physical custody. Divorce finalised but tensions remain Their divorce settlement was signed on 3 May. As reported by Us Weekly, neither party will receive spousal support. Interestingly, the couple listed different dates for their separation – Turner-Smith said they split on 13 September 2023, while Jackson marked it as 30 September 2023. The split was officially confirmed in October 2023, when Turner-Smith filed for divorce after over four years of marriage, citing 'irreconcilable differences' as the cause. Both focused on being good parents Despite the recent legal tensions, both Jackson and Jodie have been vocal about putting their daughter first. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight in November 2024, she said, 'It's just about center the children and that's all you can do. Nobody gets everything right but at least when you know you're focused on the right thing, you know you're gonna do your best.' Jackson echoed a similar sentiment during an April episode of the podcast Dinner's On Me. 'If I ever did anything to estrange my daughter from myself, I would be in duress,' he shared. 'I actually can't conceive of it because I don't even wanna think of the pain that that would be.' He continued, 'Regardless of how messy the divorce is, beautiful the divorce is, easy [or] hard the co-parenting is … I think this generation of dads is understanding, like, 'I need to be here. It's gonna be hard, but this is important, and I've got to do this.' It's my job — shared with my ex-wife — to do everything that we can to nurture you, cultivate you and give you all the tools that you need in life.'

Wendie Malick shares her working experience with Harrison Ford in 'Shrinking': 'He was from the beginning so lovely'
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Actress Wendie Malick shared her working experience with Harrison Ford in the TV series 'Shrinking' during her recent appearance on Jesse Tyler Ferguson's Dinner's On Me podcast. She shared what it seems like to work with the Oscar winner on the series as his onscreen love interest. "I had done another series for co-creator Bill Lawrence and he said, 'I've got a nice role for you to play Harrison Ford's neurologist, and you have this great chemistry,'" Malick recalled of how she met first Ford. " I'd never met him before this show," reported People. "I thought that's a lot of pressure, but he was from the beginning so lovely," she shared, adding, "And put me so at ease and we just got each other and I felt like I said, 'You're like an old pair of jeans. That's how comfortable I feel with you.'" The actress added that the two have "a really good time" on set. Though there may be complicated nuances with playing a love interest, Malick said she's always felt "very safe" around Ford, as per the outlet. "He's so dry and, and loves to sort of play the curmudgeon. But he's a sweetheart and it's been just a gift," she said. In October 2024, the actress shared that the two have "established a good rapport," making it easier to play on-screen love interests. "That pretty much happened right away, but then coming back last season was really interesting because we got a little bit into my backstory and we shifted in terms of our relationship when I no longer could be his doctor as we were seeing each other," she explained, referring to her character Dr. Julie Baram, who develops a romantic relationship with Ford's Dr. Paul Rhoades after he becomes her patient following a Parkinson's diagnosis. "What I love about this show is it mirrors what so many of us are going through, dealing with unexpected loss and challenges health-wise, and how you choose your family at a certain age," she added. "It's not so much the blood people as it is the friends you want in your life," reported People. Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .

Jesse Tyler Ferguson's dad questioned why he played 'so many gay parts'
Jesse Tyler Ferguson's dad "didn't understand" why he played "so many gay parts." The 49-year-old actor - who is best known for playing Mitchell Pritchett, who was married to Cam Tucker (Eric Stonestreet) in 'Modern Family' - welcomed his father's questioning because it led to a "whole other level" of their relationship because he was able to explain how important he felt to advocate for same-sex relationships on screen. Speaking on his 'Dinner's On Me' podcast, he said: "My family, they went through their own process with me being gay. "And my dad even asked me, while I was doing 'Modern Family', he's like, 'I just don't always understand why you have played so many gay parts.' "And it opened up a whole conversation between the two of us and started a whole other level of our relationship, because I had to sort of explain to him why it was important for me to play this role, because, socially, I wanted to be able to portray a gay man on television. I felt like it was gonna do wonderful things for the marriage equality movement, which it did." Jesse also noted the "tricky" balancing act of sharing personal anecdotes to connect with fans and not intruding too much on his family's personal lives. Speaking to his guest, actor Luke Macfarlane, he said: "I'm sure your parents were the same way. You know, their careers didn't beg for us to be so open with [themselves]. "And even I'm still learning how to open up in ways. I still have to keep parts of myself private. "We're expected in this industry to go on talk shows and talk about our personal life and to, you know, expose parts of ourselves for roles. And it's something that I think for my dad still a hard thing for him to understand. "If I go on a talk show and tell a story about the family, it's like, 'Why did you have to share that?' And I was like, 'Well, because it's a charming story about my life, and I'm just sharing a little bit of myself with people who wanna know something about me." The 'Cocaine Bear' actor - who is married to Justin Mikita - previously told of how he'd had to tell his parents he was gay at 17, 19, and 21 before they fully understood his sexuality. He told talk show host Oprah Winfrey in 2013: "The last was, he asked me if I had a girlfriend. I was like, 'Dad! I'm gay. Do we really have to go back to this every time?' "It was a process for him as well. It was sort of a coming-out process, and he had to figure out how to deal with having a son that wasn't the ideal son. He had this whole idea of what his son was gonna be, and he had to reconfigure his thinking."

'Modern Family' star Jesse Tyler Ferguson's dad asked him why he played 'so many gay parts'
Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson remembers his dad once asking him why he played "so many gay parts." "My family, they went through their own process with me being gay," Ferguson said on Tuesday's edition of his Dinner's On Me podcast. "And my dad even asked me, while I was doing Modern Family, he's like, 'I just don't always understand why you have played so many gay parts.' And it opened up a whole conversation between the two of us and started a whole other level of our relationship, because I had to sort of explain to him why it was important for me to play this role, because, socially, I wanted to be able to portray a gay man on television. I felt like it was gonna do wonderful things for the marriage equality movement, which it did." Ferguson was 33 by the time the Emmy-winning series, on which he played Mitchell Pritchett, who's married to a man, Eric Stonestreet's Cam Tucker, debuted on ABC in 2009. Not only was it a hit with viewers because it was funny, but it was lauded, too, for depicting positive images of a gay couple before the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide in 2015 and that gay characters in general were hugely underrepresented. Feguson had long ago explained to his father that he was gay, but the actor said "it was another thing for me then to be doing that on a major network." In October 2013, Ferguson told Oprah Winfrey that he'd known since childhood that he was gay, but he'd had to tell his parents three times for them to fully grasp it. He recalled that he was 17, 19, and 21 when he spoke to them about the subject. "The last was, he asked me if I had a girlfriend. I was like, 'Dad! I'm gay. Do we really have to go back to this every time?'" Ferguson told Winfrey. "It was a process for him as well. It was sort of a coming-out process, and he had to figure out how to deal with having a son that wasn't the ideal son. He had this whole idea of what his son was gonna be, and he had to reconfigure his thinking." On his podcast, Ferguson bonded with his guest, actor Luke Macfarlane (Brothers and Sisters), over the demands of a job in public and what it means for their personal lives. "I'm sure your parents were the same way. You know, their careers didn't beg for us to be so open with [themselves]," Ferguson said. "And even I'm still learning how to open up in ways. I still have to keep parts of myself private." But that's not always easy."We're expected in this industry to go on talk shows and talk about our personal life and to, you know, expose parts of ourselves for roles. And it's something that I think for my dad still a hard thing for him to understand," Ferguson said. "If I go on a talk show and tell a story about the family, it's like, 'Why did you have to share that?' And I was like, 'Well, because it's a charming story about my life, and I'm just sharing a little bit of myself with people who wanna know something about me." He concluded that it's a "tricky" balancing act. Since his hit sitcom, Ferguson, who has been married to Justin Mikita since 2013, has gone on professionally to appear in projects such as the 2023 movie Cocaine Bear and TV's Elsbeth and Mid-Century Modern.
