Patti LuPone and Audra McDonald Feud: What We Know
Patti LuPone took a jab at fellow Broadway star Audra McDonald in a recent interview, noting that they had a "long-ago rift." Newsweek reached out to LuPone and McDonald's representatives via email for comment on Tuesday. LuPone and McDonald's history dates back 25 years when the actors costarred in the 2000 New York Philharmonic's version of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. The pair worked together again in 2007 in LA Opera's Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny. LuPone was interviewed in a New Yorker profile piece, published Monday, for her upcoming appearance in the Sex and the City spin-off And Just Like That.... During her conversation with writer Michael Schulman, LuPone's relationship with McDonald, 54, was brought up while discussing a separate squabble with Broadway star Kecia Lewis. Last year, LuPone starred in The Roommate and shared a studio wall with the Hell's Kitchen cast and crew. At the time, the 76-year-old voiced her frustrations with being able to hear the sound cues. In response, Lewis, 59, posted a video to Instagram, in which she called LuPone's remarks "offensive," "racially microaggressive," "rude" and "rooted in privilege." "Oh, my God," LuPone told the New Yorker in response. "Here's the problem. She calls herself a veteran? Let's find out how many Broadway shows Kecia Lewis has done, because she doesn't know what the f*** she's talking about." "She's done seven. I've done 31," she said after searching online for the answer. "Don't call yourself a vet, b****." Lewis actually has 10 Broadway credits and LuPone has 28, per the New Yorker. When Schulman said McDonald gave Lewis' clip "supportive emojis," LuPone said: "Exactly. And I thought, 'You should know better.' That's typical of Audra. She's not a friend." McDonald is currently starring in Gypsy, and LuPone was asked what she thought of the production. Schulman reported that the singer "stared" at him "for 15 seconds" before dismissing the question by looking out the window and saying: "What a beautiful day." On X, formerly Twitter, people were divided on LuPone's New Yorker story. While some defended her: X user wonderhall wrote: "The entire interview is so balls to wall funny, I adore Patti LuPone so much." heartslupone stated: "My cutie pie I'll never hate you #pattilupone." averawlz shared alongside a screenshot of her interview: "Patti LuPone is a bada**." Others, however, criticized her: finleysduke said in a message with 188,100 views and 4,300 likes: "Listen I appreciate Patti LuPone and her contributions to theatre as much as anyone else, but she's crossed the line one too many times. I'm tired of her actions being passed off as 'diva behavior' when in reality she's just mean spirited." DouglasSings added in a note with 16,000 views and 744 likes: "Dear Patti LuPone, 31 shows doth not equal class. #broadway." MaddieTillem wrote in a comment with 24,500 views and 661 likes: "I hate Patti LuPone and have for years. She plays the victim in every scenario, when in actuality, she is the one who is choosing to make enemies with kind, talented people. She's not a diva or an icon, she's just a rude old lady who thinks she's God's gift to theatre." @Olas_Truth remarked: "Patti LuPone is 22 years older than Audra McDonald and old enough to be her mother. There is no reason for Patti LuPone's comments other than that Audra McDonald is an icon. She's a legend, and she is the moment. Patti is not." And Just Like That Season 3 debuts on Thursday, May 29, at 9 p.m. ET and concludes on August 14. Earlier this year, LuPone confirmed that she will be featured in two episodes and has scenes with Sarah Jessica Parker's character, Carrie Bradshaw. McDonald stars on Broadway as Rose in the show Gypsy, which is the first time the character has been played by a Black actor. Tickets are currently on sale, although McDonald will not be appearing in the entire run.

After Almost 20 Years, Tim Burton Is Selling His Historic English Home For Just Over $6 Million
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Tim Burton has built up quite the real estate portfolio both in the U.S. and the U.K., but the American filmmaker and director is saying goodbye to the historic English property he's owned for nearly 20 years. Known as Mill House, the home has been listed for a little over $6 million, as detailed in the Savills listing that's held by Hugh Maconochie. Burton purchased the property in 2006 for $3.8 million, according to Architectural Digest. At the time, he was with his then-partner, actress Helena Bonham Carter, with whom he worked with on "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" and other films. Don't Miss: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — Inspired by Uber and Airbnb – Deloitte's fastest-growing software company is transforming 7 billion smartphones into income-generating assets – Mill House is in the center of Sutton Courtenay, an Oxfordshire village. This property has some incredible history behind it. In the late 1600s and early 1700s, the Bank of England commissioned Sutton Mill to produce a hard-to-forge paper for bank notes. The Mill thrived, and in 1741, the Mill House was built for the foreman of the mill to live in. The Mill closed in 1881, and it was demolished after years of neglect. However, the Mill House stayed put. In 1913, Prime Minister Henry Asquith and his wife moved to Sutton Courtenay and bought a couple houses. He also bought the Mill House to use for guests. The three homes were renovated with architect Walter Cave in the driver's seat. Asquith passed away in 1928 and is buried in the Sutton Courtenay churchyard. Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — The 284-year-old home sits on about 17 acres. It features eight bedrooms, four bathrooms and four reception rooms – an English term used to describe rooms where people can sit together. The interior is certainly charming with a winding staircase, ornately carved fireplaces, original wooden shutters and paneled doors. But the exterior is wow-worth with gardens, grounds and waterways, including the River Thames making up the property's northern boundary. There are three islands that would be all yours, too. "This graceful and quintessentially English 18th century country house sits gently within its exquisite landscape," says the listing. "Lovely 19th century cast-iron window boxes beneath 16-pane sash windows and hipped dormers to the second floor, all make for a delightful entrance to the front of the house." This is certainly a unique property and will require a special person to take on its maintenance and appreciate its beauty. There aren't too many opportunities for a rare, historic home like this one.
