Tim Minchin likes to know his music can 'make people cry'
Tim Minchin is glad his music can "make people cry". The 49-year-old comedian and musician - who is set to release his second studio album 'Time Machine' in July - is glad songs like 'Moment of Bliss' on new collection can impact people just as much as his more lighthearted tracks. He told the Metro newspaper's 60 Seconds column: "Yeah, we're funny monsters, aren't we? I'm really pleased about that. I like making people cry." Tim was told by the interviewer how the line "In my moment of bliss no one and nothing can hurt me" brought on the tears. He responded: "We as a species don't seem to acknowledge very much how often we feel scared or not OK. "So, I'm not surprised that line got you. It was emotional to write." Tim - who is also known for his work writing for Broadway shows like 'Matilda the Musical' and 'Groundhog Day' - explained how his new album and upcoming UK tour is part of a wider "conscious decision". He explained: "Your job is to do your job, which in my case is reflect the human experience in songs and art and be a good dad and a kind friend. "This tour and album are part of my conscious decision that I don't need to be spending my life lying awake at night trying to figure out how to fix the world. "Everyone thinking they can fix the world is part of the problem." Instead, he is focused on what he can achieve, including charity work on tour, and "speaking his truth on stage". He added: "I will be speaking my truth on stage about all this, but mostly I want to make people cry and give people comfort and entertain the living f*** out of them."

I Will Survive icon Gloria Gaynor insists she's not a 'feminist'
Gloria Gaynor doesn't consider herself a "feminist". The 81-year-old disco icon - who is best known for her defiant anthem 'I Will Survive' - has insisted she "loves men", and explained that the notion she embraces feminism is the biggest misconception people have about her. She told the Metro newspaper's 60 Seconds column: "People say to me, 'And since you're a feminist...' Erm, no. Not really. "I love men. I grew up with five brothers, and I love men. "I love men who know who they are and are strong enough to take their place, but also strong enough to recognise a woman's strengths and who are able to allow her to exercise those strengths and realise that women are to be partners and not opponents." Gloria noted that her 2003 documentary 'Gloria Gaynor: I Will Survive' - which reflected on the previous 10 years of her live - was a way for her to show her true self for her fans. She said: "It's sort of an outgrowth of the song 'I Will Survive' because, you know, you can have a dinner for people and you can serve wonderful dishes and all of that, but I wonder how many of them questioned, did you get this from the supermarket? "Did you get this from a restaurant? Or did you make it yourself? "And when you can show them the ingredients that went into making whatever it is you made, then they can enjoy it better and they can experience it more fully, and they can make it their own, so that's what I've done." Gloria embraced the same approach with her own life, and explained how people often project their own feelings and experiences on their favourite artists. She added: "I think that, when people see an artist, they make up in their minds different things that they feel about them from what they've seen on stage, but what they are really doing is adding things to their own lives, because that's all they have to work with, until something like a documentary comes out and shows them what the real ingredients are."

Mara Lane reveals she split from husband Jonathan Rhys Meyers three years ago
In a sudden announcement on social media, Mara, who was married to the Tudors star in 2016, said the last three years involved a 'journey of clearing debris' Actress Mara Lane has revealed that she has split from her Irish husband, the actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers three years ago. In a sudden announcement on social media, Mara, who was married to the Tudors star in 2016, said the last three years involved a 'journey of clearing debris'. The pair who share one son together, appear to have ended their marriage amicably as Mara praised Meyers for being one year sober this summer. Sharing a post on his Instagram of what appears to be Meyers operating a digger clearing out land, she wrote: 'Almost three years since J and I separated and it's been a journey of clearing debris – both physically and emotionally. Thankful and excited for us both and what future holds (sic),' she said. Mara then posted another reel of Meyers, adding: 'J also cleared his land, and he's coming up on a year of sobriety this summer. Wolf is so happy and proud of you. Jonathan Rhys Meyers with Mara Lane and son Wolf News in 90 Seconds - May 14th 'Your resilience and determination are inspiring and ready to take on new opportunities and roles and make even greater impact on world (sic). Keep going. You're awesome @jonathanrhysmeyers.' Jonathan and Mara met in 2013 before the actor got down on one knee one year later. They tied the knot in 2016 and welcomed a son, Wolf, in December of that year. Mara made her debut as an extra in 2005 later became a producer and most recently worked on producing Edge of the World which stars the 47-year-old Dublin star, In 2017, Mara opened up about the miscarriage of their second child when she video of the moment they found out that the foetus had no heartbeat. In 2018, Mara and Jonathan were involved in an altercation on an American Airlines flight from Miami to Los Angeles International Airport, however, she stood by her husband, stating at the time that it was '8 months of sobriety and an unfortunate day of airline travel.' 'There was no argument, just me asking him to not use his e cig per stewardess' request to me and him not being himself, speaking very unkindly. It was out of his character. It was unbeknownst to me anything that happened on flight, as I was with my son with a privacy wall up.' That same year, Jonathan praised Mara as being a 'superior woman' who knows how to 'handle him'. "Everything good and beautiful in my life comes from my wife and son," he told The Times newspaper at the time. "I promise you: I will only marry once. Actors can be moody bastards and we have been through thick and thin together. She knows how to handle me." In January they both posted on social media about their devastation after their Malibu home was destroyed as devastating wildfires swept through California. Jonathan (47) shared a photo of his eight-year-old son Wolf, writing: 'Unfortunately like many others we lost our house in the LA what made it a home is still going strong. You are amazing Wolf! So strong and so kind. I feel blessed beyond measure.' Mara also posted on her own account, including photos of their 'beautiful' residence, adding that the 'memories will remain forever'. She wrote: 'Losing this home has been heartbreaking, especially all the sentimentals I held so dear. If you know me, you know how much I treasure every little thing that brought a smile. 'My heart aches for J and his artwork, rare books, awards, and amazing guitar collection, all packed with care by David, Dami and Angelique, ready to ship - now gone in an instant.' 'It was always a place of love no matter how complex and colorful at times, it became our safe space with big feelings always welcome/encouraged and no unkindness allowed and take twos if needed, live in my heart forever.' In December, Jonathan and Mara's Malibu mansion was also threatened by the Franklin Fire which began a few weeks before Christmas. However, the home was not affected by the blaze at the time.
