Sarah Silverman met Rory Albanese through Call of Duty
Sarah Silverman was "happily single" before she met Rory Albanese. The 54-year-old comedy star actually thought she was "done" with dating before she met Rory during the COVID-19 pandemic. Speaking to People, Sarah shared: "I went to GameStop, and I hadn't played video games since Nintendo 64, but I bought a console, and I figured I would learn how to do video games. "This is what I'm going to focus on. I'm going to sleep as late as I can. I'm going to go to bed as early as possible, and I'm going to learn video games in between and this is going to be my life." Sarah kept herself busy during the pandemic by learning to play 'Call of Duty: World War II', and her passion for gaming led her to Rory. She explained: "Rory who I knew, but I didn't remember what he looked like, we had hung out once. We knew each other through comedy a little bit, but I didn't really know him. "He direct messaged me and was like, 'I play that. Do you have headphones?' I said, 'Yes, but I don't know how to do it.' And he talked me through it. And so every night, I'd play Call of Duty with Rory Albanese." At the start, Sarah never actually imagined dating Rory, as she was "very peacefully and happily single" at the time. She said: "I felt done, to be honest. You just can't predict anything! You never know what's around the corner." Sarah has actually learned some important life lessons through her love life. Asked to reveal the biggest lesson she's learned, Sarah replied: "It's human nature to be afraid of the unknown, but don't waste anxiety on the unknown. The unknown is thrilling. We really should just be on the edge of our seat." Sarah split from actor Michael Sheen in late 2017. But the actress previously revealed that they've remained good friends. During an appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', Sarah shared: "I was with Michael. We broke up over Christmas. He moved back to the UK and his life is really there and my life is really not there, but I love him to pieces."

Miley Cyrus admitted to intensive care unit after contracting 'brutal' infection
Miley Cyrus was admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) after contracting "brutal" infection which caused her leg to "disintegrate". The 32-year-old pop star has revealed she suffered a terrifying health scare in November and was taken to hospital in secret to treat an infection which was impacting her kneecap - and Miley is convinced she picked up the nasty bug weeks earlier when she was filmed rolling around on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles for the video for her song 'Something Beautiful'. During an appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', Miley explained: "I filmed this video in October, and by November at Thanksgiving, I was put in the ICU for a moment - just for a moment ... My leg began to disintegrate around the kneecap area." She went on to add: "The doctor goes: 'Do you have any idea why you would have such a brutal infection on your kneecap?' And I just saw myself [rolling around on the Walk of Fame] and I had to tell him. "To have a surgeon look at you and say, 'Yuck' … Like, they open up cadavers, they see inside the gut of humans, and they're looking at me telling me I'm disgusting." It comes after Miley opened up about another "medical emergency" which happened while she was working on her 2023 New Year's Eve special, which she hosted with her Godmother Dolly Parton and featured her performing with stars including Sia and Paris Hilton. During an interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe, Miley revealed she suffered an ovarian cyst rupture and was left in agony, but she went ahead with the show despite the pain. She explained: "I had a pretty traumatic experience on a show that I was doing with [TV producer] Lorne [Michaels] when I was doing my New Year's show. I had a medical emergency. I had an ovarian cyst rupture, which we didn't know exactly what was going on, so we did [the show], but it was pretty traumatic, cause it was extremely excruciating. And I did the show anyway, but it was really, really hard on me.' Miley went on to admit she almost quit music because of the experience, but former 'Saturday Night Live' boss Lorne Michaels helped her feel better. She added: "I had dinner with Lorne [Michaels] and he said something that now has stuck with me. He goes, "Six months. Everybody has six months to feel sorry for themselves. And then we start to rebuild'. I was expired on my amount of time that I was able to shut down.'

Jack ‘Susan Sarandon' Robbins is using his nepo baby powers ... to help actual babies
We hate to break it to you, but Jack Henry Robbins, 36, does not have the names of his famous parents — Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon — tattooed on his forearms. He also didn't ink The New York Times logo across his chest after it featured him in a splashy story this fall. Nor did he legally change his name to 'Jack Susan Sarandon Robbins.' But what Jack does share with his 'nepo baby' alter ego is commitment. chats with Jack after a diaper-bundling volunteer session for a special cause: helping the National Diaper Bank Network make sure that babies who need diapers receive them. Jack, a writer and director whose accomplishments include directing 80 episodes of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', was hit hard by a December 2022 issue of New York Magazine that centered around about 'nepo babies,' the children of famous parents who are assumed to succeed based on nepotism and connections rather than talent. 'I remember feeling very insecure and very upset that no matter what I was going to be, I'd always have this label,' he explains. 'It also coincided with — funnily enough — a row of career failures for me. I couldn't get stuff made. I couldn't advance, even though I believed in myself and I thought I was making great stuff.' 'One day it just kind of hit me ... what if I went directly, straight into my insecurity and used myself as a tool and made my life a comedic bit,' he says. 'I could become the world's worst nepo baby and confirm everyone's absurd beliefs of what I thought everyone thought I was, but worse, and funnier.' Rather than pitching and waiting and hoping, Jack took charge of his idea and filmed 'A Day in the Life of a Nepo Baby' and posted it on his Instagram account in November 2023. The reel features Jack meditating in front of a framed poster of his mother, wearing a 'Bull Durham' hat around New York City, selling show to Netflix or HBO on the reg and getting into a fight with his mom 'about money or my inheritance.' And of course he drains 'as much talent from my mom's soul as I can.' Based on the success of that video, Jack created more content that places his nepo baby character front and center, like making a movie with Steven Spielberg's daughter Sasha and receiving a talking to from Ewan McGregor's daughter, Clara, about how he's making the other nepo babies look bad. 'It was a great way to actually heal my insecurities,' Jack says. 'All of a sudden, now I feel confident again that I'm making people happy, making people laugh.' Though Jack had been approached by brands and organizations who wanted to harness the reach of his nepo baby character, he never said yes ... until now. 'I was approached by the National Diaper Bank Network to basically flip this nepo baby thing on its head and raise awareness for a cause that is great,' Jack explains. Though he never wanted to be on camera himself, he is now the leading voice in the organization's 'Nepo Babies For Babies' campaign. According to the organization's 2023 national study, roughly half of U.S. families with young children can't afford enough diapers to keep their children clean and dry, and one in four parents miss work or school because they can't afford the diapers required to leave their baby in childcare (which often requires a full day's supply of diapers at drop off). 'People still think my career has been just handed to me. That makes people angry,' Jack says in a hilarious public service announcement spoofing his nepo baby status. 'Here is a positive idea: Let's take all this nepo baby anger, and instead, let's get angry for real babies and their very real baby problems.' At the end of the video, he highlights the fact that some parents have to decide between buying groceries and buying diapers. By amplifying the mission and the needs of the National Diaper Bank Network, Jack hopes to end this 'public health crisis.' Of his non-nepo-baby co-star, Jack says, 'She was so cute. And she was crying a lot. But it wasn't my fault.' On a more serious note, Jack continues, 'I've said no to a lot of stuff, and I thought this was really worth doing, because if I can help raise awareness for something that's super important, I'm down. I look forward to any situation where I can use my comedic instincts or my character to do good things.' This article was originally published on

Charlize Theron jokes her kids have 'zero respect' for her career
Charlize Theron's children are unimpressed by her career. The Oscar-winning star is one of the best-known actresses in Hollywood - but Charlize's kids are underwhelmed by her achievements. During an appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', Charlize quipped: "My children have zero respect for me. "It's just unbelievable, I feel like I'm pretty humble, but every once in a while I'm like 'there's a f****** Oscar right there.' They are so not impressed with me." Charlize - who has adopted daughters Jackson, 12, and August, nine - recalled a recent incident when one of her kids admitted to being impressed by another well-known movie star. The 49-year-old actress shared: "I was picking up my youngest from dance yesterday and we drove past the new 'Mission Impossible' poster where Tom Cruise is hanging onto some yellow plane, and he just looks really cool. "My kids were with me when I shot 'Old Guard 2' and I worked on this incredibly intricate sequence where we brought in this amazing helicopter pilot, Fred North, and we were gonna choreograph this incredible me fighting helicopters and jumping on this real helicopter and hanging off. Shooting 99 percent of it on a real helicopter as it's trying to shake me off like a rag doll. "We took like two weeks to shoot this sequence and I was like, 'Wow, I just did that, that's really amazing.' And my child yesterday just looked at this poster of Tom Cruise and went, 'It's weird, he looks so much cooler than you did when you were hanging off the helicopter.' "I was just like, 'I hung off the helicopter, [can I have] some credit?'" Meanwhile, Charlize previously revealed that she's teaching acceptance to her children. The actress told 'RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked': "I want [my kids] to grow up in a world where they know what it means to accept what's not you, what is different and love that, to not be scared of that, and to embrace it, and that's my job as a mom. "I feel like we're living in a day and age where our words can so easily be weaponised against us. "I worry about us as people and what we can do to each other, and how powerful it is when you love and how powerful it is when you hate. One destroys and one builds."
