Eiza González's Scrutiny Over Her Body Image As A Teen
Fountain of Youth star Eiza González shared how she was brought back to a difficult moment as a teenage actor when Millie Bobby Brown called out journalists for their "disturbing" comments about her appearance. During a May 26 appearance on Jesse Tyler Ferguson's podcast Dinner's on Me, Eiza recalled facing scrutiny around her appearance like Millie did earlier this year. "It really made me sad because... when I was like a teenager, you know, I broke into the industry," Eiza recalled. From 2007-08, Eiza starred in a Mexican remake of the Argentine telenovela Floricienta called Lola, érase una vez (Lola: Once Upon a Time). "They were waiting for the reveal of this character, and I came on stage, and I sang a song, whatever," she recalled. "The next morning, I'm watching the version of Today Show in Mexico, and they're gonna talk about it. I'm like, I'm 14 'Oh my God, it's just happening, this is crazy.' I'm doing what I wanna do. And the presenters came on, and they're 40 and 50-year-olds, and they're like, 'Ugh, she's so ugly. She's so fat. They could have gotten anyone, like why would they get her?'" Eiza became a bit emotional as she recounted the harsh experience. "I remember even right now, I'm just like, 'Oh my God, it was just so jarring," she said. "And I was just like sitting there, like embarrassed with myself. Like even [now] it makes me tear up." Earlier, Eiza explained that she suffered a "deep depression" after the death of her father in a "tragic accident" when she was only 12, which made this experience even harder to navigate as a teen. "Now you become this child where you're chasing approval, and now you're like completely lost of identity. And you're also completely lost because you're mourning and you're grieving, so you're sad. And then I'm touring and having to smile and be a role model and pretend like I'm okay when everyone's bombarding you. What you're supposed to do, what you're not supposed to do." But, support from her "amazing mother" being there for her through it all helped Eiza persist. "I definitely got lost. I was very unkind to myself, my body, my thoughts, my soul, because I just never felt good enough," she continued. "And it's something that stays with you forever because it's sort of brands you, it marks you for life. And so it becomes a catch-up." Millie's clapback by calling out the "disgusting" headlines resonated with Eiza, reminding her of her own experience as a teenage actor. "I really identified with what she was saying because she was reading this, she was explaining about her terrifying [experience] and I just found that really interesting because she was talking about being a grown woman and sort of finding the way she wants to dress and act and be, and she doesn't have to do it under other people's terms. It's under her terms." If you remember, back in March, Millie, who started at age 12 on Stranger Things, faced nasty comments from certain media during her press tour for Electric State. On March 3, Millie called out the problematic headlines and discourse. "We always talk about supporting and uplifting young women, but when the time comes, it seems easier to tear them down for clicks. Disillusioned people can't handle seeing a girl become a woman on her terms, not theirs. I refuse to apologize for growing up. I refuse to make myself smaller to fit the unrealistic expectations of people who can't handle seeing a girl become a woman. I will not be shamed for how I look, how I dress, or how I present myself," Millie wrote. It's truly heartbreaking that Millie, Eiza, and many entertainers of all ages experience such nasty critiques on their appearance, whether from social media or, in some cases, professional media. Hopefully, the fear of being called out by name will start deterring the culprits. Listen to the Dinner's On Me episode here.

Meghan Markle & Nicola Peltz Reportedly Bonded Over Shared Struggles Linked To Husbands' Families
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly hosted Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz for dinner, sparking speculation of a close bond over shared family struggles. However, sources say the invitation came via a mutual friend, and that the gathering included other VIPs. Meanwhile, tensions remain high between Brooklyn Beckham and his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, with the younger couple absent from key family events. According to sources, the Sussexes recently hosted Brooklyn and Nicola for an intimate dinner at their Montecito home. While the event has raised eyebrows due to the ongoing tensions within the Beckham family, it's been confirmed that the plans were made before the public fallout between Brooklyn and his parents, David and Victoria. Insiders suggest Meghan felt a strong sense of empathy toward Nicola, as both women have experienced similar challenges navigating strained family dynamics under the media spotlight. A source told The Sun that during the dinner, Meghan and the "Lola" actress shared a heartfelt conversation, bonding over how they've "been positioned in the media as home-wreckers — the women to tear apart their husbands' families." "Meghan had a lot of sympathy for her, and said there was shared common ground," the insider revealed. "They didn't meet in relation to recent developments and headlines, but it was an honest but very welcome coincidence." A source close to Harry and Meghan has now played down reports of a close alliance between the two couples. According to insiders, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex didn't personally extend an invitation to Brooklyn and Nicola for the dinner. Instead, it's believed the couple was introduced through a mutual acquaintance or intermediary. Additionally, as reported by People Magazine, the dinner wasn't a private affair, but part of a larger gathering attended by various high-profile guests, including figures from the entertainment and media industries. A previous report from the publication revealed underlying tensions between Brooklyn, his wife Nicola, and the rest of the Beckham family. Interestingly, David and Victoria once enjoyed a close friendship with Harry and Meghan, even attending the couple's royal wedding in 2018. They reportedly went so far as to offer Harry and Meghan use of their Beverly Hills home as a private retreat not long after the royal wedding. However, the relationship between the two couples has since cooled. According to reports, tension arose when Meghan allegedly suspected Victoria of leaking personal information to the media, a claim that created significant friction. A source told The Sun that Meghan voiced her concerns to Harry, suggesting Victoria was the source of a leak. The source noted that Harry reached out to David in an attempt to clear the air, stating: "Harry is very protective of Meghan, and decided to deal with the matter head-on, by directly contacting his good pal, David. Harry was very polite, but obviously, it was a pretty awkward exchange, and David was mortified." As the tension between the Beckham family continues, Brooklyn and Nicola were noticeably absent from several recent family gatherings. Most notably, the pair was nowhere to be seen during David Beckham's 50th birthday bash. Brooklyn was also absent from other key celebrations, including an earlier birthday event in Miami, a family fishing trip in Scotland, a private dinner in the Cotswolds, and a vineyard visit in France. Meanwhile, friends of the Beckham family have reportedly been left outraged following bold claims made by individuals close to Nicola regarding the cause of the ongoing tensions between Brooklyn and his parents. According to reports, there have been claims that the root of the conflict between the Beckhams lies in what was described as "toxic behavior" and "emotional abuse" within the family dynamic, allegations that David and Victoria have vehemently denied. A source close to the power couple strongly pushed back against the accusations, telling The Mirror: "I don't think anyone who has ever seen David and Victoria with their children would recognise this deeply unpleasant attack. It doesn't even warrant a response, it's so ludicrous and patently untrue." Another insider said the couple was left "open-mouthed" upon hearing the allegations.

Nicola Peltz said she was 'blessed' to have Brooklyn's sister Harper in her life
Nicola Peltz previously opened up about her relationship with Brooklyn Beckham's sister as she claimed she was 'blessed' to have a 'dream little sister' in her life While model Nicola Peltz is currently in an ongoing reported feud with her husband's family, Victoria and David Beckham, she previously stated that she was 'blessed' to have her sister in law Harper Beckham in her life. Nicola shared some sweet words about Harper, the youngest Beckham sibling, during the premiere of Nicola's directorial debut, Lola, in February 2024, an event which Victoria Beckham attended. During the event, the model reflected on her relationship with Brooklyn's younger sister, labelling her as a 'dream'. When asked about her bond, Nicola said Harper is her 'dream little sister', adding: 'If I could create the perfect dream little sister, it's her. I'm so blessed I get to have her as my little sister in my life.' The pair's sweet bond was also shown at Victoria's Paris Fashion Week show in October 2023 when Nicola shared a photo of her and Harper posing backstage along with the caption: 'Such a beautiful show with my baby sis, congratulations @victoriabeckham'. However, recently there has been a growing divide between the Beckhams, with sources close to the Beckhams branding Brooklyn and Nicola's relationship 'unhealthy' and claiming that Nicola is 'isolating' Brooklyn from his family and friends. While the family has remained largely silent on the matter, Brooklyn appeared to slap back at claims and showed support for his wife, saying he would 'always' choose her in an Instagram post. Alongside a video of the pair riding a motorbike together, Brooklyn made his feelings about his wife clear for the world to see as he wrote: "My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person i know xx me and you forever baby." After Brooklyn decided not to attend his father's 50th birthday celebrations, there are questions around weather he will attend his sister, Harper's, 14th birthday in July. In a previous interview conducted before the public became aware of the family rift, older brother Brooklyn shared some advice that he had given his younger sister Harper. He said: 'I just tell her, find that one thing that you love and just put your head down, don't listen to anyone', adding: 'Find that one thing that you love and don't listen to anyone.'
