Lily James is a mountain-climbing 'addict' after filming Cliffhanger
Lily James has become a mountain-climbing "addict" since filming the Cliffhanger reboot. The Cinderella star, 36, leads the cast of a new version of Sylvester Stallone's 1993 action movie alongside Pierce Brosnan and the actress has confessed she had the "had the time of [her] life" working on the film and she's thrown herself into the sport of climbing. She told The Hollywood Reporter: "Oh my God, I had the time of my life. It was so hard. I did five hours of climbing a day for many weeks. "I was on mountains nonstop. I fell completely in love with it. It's the most mind-body-soul activity. "And I'm a [mountain-climbing] addict now. I did all my own climbing [in the film], and I got real strong. I was just pounding press-ups between every take." The film is due for release next year and Lily can't wait to share it with audiences. She added: "I'm really proud of Cliffhanger. I'm so excited. We're in the edit and getting it ready, and I'm super hopeful. "It is such a cool reimagining, and while it's really unexpected at times, it keeps all the gripping glory of the original, I hope." Lily went on to reveal she loved working with Brosnan again after they previously appeared in 2018 movie musical Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. She said of her co-star: "We were so lucky to have him, and he's so brilliant in the movie. He's one of life's true gentlemen, and he was such a brilliant actor to have as our father in this story. "He just brings real heart, and he elevates the whole thing. He's just a dream, and getting to work with him again was so wonderful." Lily plays Naomi Cooper in the new film with Brosnan as her onscreen dad - and the actress previously insisted the new take is "definitely different" to the original. Speaking with Screen Rant, she said: 'I don't want to say too much to give it away right now. What I will say is I had one of the most thrilling experiences of my life. We shot in the Dolomites. We were there for six weeks on the mountains. 'I was really hanging off mountains. We had to shut down multiple times because of freak snowstorms. "The story is very much through Naomi and her sister Sydney. I would hope that we are maintaining what people love about the original cliffhanger, but it's definitely different. "It's feral, it's raw. It's a real re-imagining, and I am producing it too." Stallone was initially due to reprise his role as ranger Gabriel 'Gabe' Walker in the new Cliffhanger movie, but the actor ultimately left the project and it was subsequently overhauled with James and Brosnan leading the reboot instead. The official synopsis reads: 'In this reboot of Cliffhanger, seasoned mountaineer Ray Cooper (Brosnan) and his daughter Sydney run a mountain chalet in the Dolomites. "During a weekend trip with a billionaire's son, they are targeted by a gang of kidnappers. Ray's older daughter Naomi (James), still haunted by a past climbing accident, witnesses the attack and escapes." The cast for Cliffhanger also includes Nell Tiger Free, Franz Rogowski, Shubham Saraf, Assaad Bouab, Suzy Bemba and Bruno Gouery.

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!… a fan. 'Mamma Mia!' actor Juan Pablo Di Pace is recalling an unbearably hot day on the set of the franchise's first film — and how Christine Baranski kept it cool.

'We were all just so hot, and it was really summer, like the heat was unbearable,' he explained. 'We had to do this massive number, all the boys around her, and eight hours later, all the boys, who were 20, were complaining.' That's when Baranski spoke up. 7 Baranski in the iconic 'Does Your Mother Know' beach scene in 'Mamma Mia!' Universal Pictures 'Come on, guys, we're doing what we love,' he recalled her saying. 'All of a sudden, everyone just got it. We were like, 'Yeah, what are we complaining about? This is exactly what we're here for,'' Di Pace said. 'It was amazing, and she's amazing, and everyone in that movie was just so great,' he concluded. 7 'Mamma Mia!' premiered 17 years ago on July 18, 2008. ©Universal/Courtesy Everett Collection 'Mamma Mia!' premiered 17 years ago on July 18, 2008.

Cher's son has been rushed to hospital after suffering an overdose
Cher's son has been rushed to hospital after suffering an overdose. The 79-year-old pop icon is mother to Elijah Blue Allman, 48, with her late ex-husband Gregg Allman, and on Sunday (15.06.25), it was reported that he had been taken to a California hospital the day before. Sources told TMZ that Elijah is "still in the hospital and receiving the best care possible" but the outlet is unaware of what kind of drugs he had been using prior to the incident. Insiders also explained that the Believe hitmaker - who is also mother to Chaz, 56, with her late first husband Sonny Bono - is "doing everything she can to get him the help he needs" and that her "only concern right now is for her son's well-being" at this moment in time. In recent years, the Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again star had been seeking to put Elijah - who is also a musician - into a conservatorship, but decided to drop the case towards the end of last year after they came to an agreement. Court documents revealed the development months after Cher's request for conservatorship over her son was denied by a judge in Los Angeles. At the time, the singer had filed an emergency request for Elijah to be placed under a temporary emergency conservatorship – claiming she 'feared that her son would not be alive within the year'. Cher's lawyers cited his treatment for schizoaffective disorder and revealed that in the past year he has been placed in several 5150s – a California legal code which allows a person with a mental illness to be involuntarily detained for a 72-hour psychiatric hospitalisation. A judge ruled against the proposal as Elijah proved he had 'managed his finances', has an apartment and 'remained drug free' after submitting 'several drug tests' during the proceedings. The judge also ruled there was not 'sufficient evidence' to agree to the temporary conservatorship, as much of what the mum and son were arguing was based on 'fears' and hypotheticals. Elijah previously revealed that he started using drugs when he was just 11 years old and came close to overdosing several times. In 2014, he told Entertainment Tonight: "I did have some close calls and some moments of really feeling at the edge of mortality ... I always kind of kept it a little bit safe but you never can do that.""
