Jeremy Renner is upset about allegations by ex-wife Sonni Pacheco
Actor Jeremy Renner opened up about his divorce and custody battle with ex-wife Sonni Pacheco, and the allegations swirling these incidents. "Whatever stress I've had in life, I've tried to find a way of laughing through it," said the actor, adding, "And that's where sometimes cynicism comes out you think, 'I'm just going to laugh at this stuff'," he was quoted as saying by the New York Post. Renner continued, "Being accused of things you've not done, right? That doesn't feel good to anybody. It certainly doesn't feel good when you're a celebrity and it's known to everybody." Renner later shared that Pacheco's claims were not true. "No, and they happen all the time," he shared. "It's all the salaciousness that happens out there. It's clickbait, and it hurts my feelings, and it dehumanises people," he said. The Oscar nominee also explained that he ignored the public's reaction when the allegations first emerged. "It doesn't matter to me what people say," the Avengers star said. "They're saying it for their own reasons and not for the right reasons or the truth. And I'm used to that, because I'm a public figure. I don't read people's reviews, I don't read people's comments. I don't care. That's not part of my life." Renner and Pacheco were married for ten months before the model filed for divorce in December 2014. During their subsequent custody battle over daughter Ava, now 12, Pacheco claimed Renner threatened to kill her and once stuck a gun in his mouth and shot into the ceiling while Ava was in her room, according to TMZ. She also accused Renner of illegal substance abuse and leaving them on a bathroom counter where Ava could reach. However, he denied all of Pacheco's allegations at the time. Pacheco fought for sole custody of Ava, but she and Renner currently have joint custody. "Her mom and I get along very well, and we're in each other's lives," he shared. "It's lovely." Renner also shared that his relationship with his ex-wife is "no one's business." "It's great," he said. "She's got a new baby and she sends me beautiful pictures." Pacheco welcomed her daughter Wylder with hockey player Nate Thompson in March 2023.

Backstage at Star Awards 2025: Zhang Zetong was worried about his breath, Pierre Png made us blush with his outfit
At the Star Awards 2025 last Sunday night (Jul 6), you saw actor Christopher Lee go home as the night's biggest winner, witnessed actress Jessica Hsuan make history as the first overseas star to win an acting award, and probably experienced serious FOMO seeing the stars snap selfies with guest presenter Chow Yun Fat. But of course there's more to the show than what you saw on stage. was right there in the thick of things, watching the stars get all dolled up, secretly memorising their acceptance speeches and snacking on guava, all just to get some exclusive backstage gossip for our readers. YVONNE LIM'S RED CARPET DRESS BELONGED TO SOMEONE SPECIAL The 48-year-old actress, who received her All-Time Favourite Artiste award on Sunday night, revealed that her black and white polka-dotted dress belonged to her godmother. "Back in 2014, she told me to wear it if i ever became an All-Time Fave. And at that time, I didn't think it was possible," Lim said with tears in her eyes. DESMOND TAN'S DINNER WAS... SAD Desmond Tan was finishing up his protein bar when we approached him. "One of my friends gave it to me because she knows I'm on a diet for a new show. I'll have to go shirtless for it. That's probably my dinner 'cos I still need some energy for the day," said Tan with a smile. Guess we will be seeing thirst-traps from him again. PIERRE PNG MADE US BLUSH WITH HIS SHORTS The actor drew many glances when he arrived wearing really short shorts. He later told us he had actually come from a Hyrox team lunch, though that doesn't actually explain why his shorts had to be that short. Sadly, he didn't allow us to snap a pic of him in the shorts, but he seemed to really like wearing them and even paired them with the black button-up shirt he would wear on the red carpet. When we told him that he should just strut out in those shorts, he chuckled: 'If I really went out looking like that, the missus (Andrea De Cruz) would ask me not to go home tonight!" JERNELLE OH WAS PUT IN A NAUGHTY CORNER... KIND OF While other celebs milled about the hair and make-up area, Jernelle Oh appeared to be stuck in the corner. The 31-year-old actress, who was already all glammed up by the time arrived at 1pm, said she was told to just wait there for the final touches to be made to her outfit. But the poor girl ended up being cemented to the spot because her dress was too long and hence "cannot move". ZHAI SIMING WAS THE FAIREST OF THEM ALL Mirror, mirror on the wall... Every single time the team looked in Zhai Siming's direction, he was staring into a mirror. When we asked if he had to look at his own reflection whenever he had the chance, he said: "I've lost count [of the number of mirrors I've looked at], but I need to make sure I look good!" ZHANG ZETONG WAS WORRIED ABOUT HIS BREATH We guess The Most Popular Rising Star winner's best pal that evening was a Fisherman's Friend... you know, the mint. "I had Subway for lunch and I did not know there were raw onions in it," he laughed. CARRIE WONG IS LITERALLY TALL GIRL We caught sight of the 1.75m-tall actress, who was probably 1.8m in her heels, towering over everyone who was interviewing her. We overheard someone comment: "Wah look at the height difference between Carrie and [the interviewer]." Wong heard the quip and immediately responded with: "It's okay. Confidence does not come from height." Well, guess that's easy for her to say, right? WE CAUGHT JEREMY CHAN DOING SOMETHING SNEAKY After going around greeting fellow celebs like the social butterfly he is, we espied Jeremy Chan quietly snacking on guava while huddled in the corner of the make-up area. We later found out he was eating secretly because he was told that no food was allowed. Hmm, we could've sworn we saw many people snacking. Joanne Peh was even tucking into her lunch box while getting made up! HUANG SHINAN WAS JUST HAPPY TO BE THERE Is the former Mediacorp actor into vlogging now? That was our first thought when we saw Huang Shinan walking around with his phone in hand, speaking to the camera and occasionally getting a celeb pal to join him for a two-shot. When we caught up with him, Huang said: "I really treasure this moment. It's my first time being involved in this ceremony, and I want to keep [these videos] for the memories." It was 1pm then, and Huang, who was already in his red carpet outfit, told us his call time was supposed to be at 1.30pm. He said he showed up earlier so he could fully immerse himself in the vibe and catch up with old friends. He also said he would find a day to edit the videos, so guess we'll have to stay tuned for the finished product?

Charlize Theron Under Fire For Making 'Snide' Remark Made About Celebrities At Jeff Bezos' Wedding
Charlize Theron has poked fun at the celebrities who attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice. While speaking at a charity gala for her foundation, the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project, the actress joked that those who received an invite to the exclusive event "suck." Though her comment seemed lighthearted and without malice, the wedding itself drew real protests, with critics accusing Jeff Bezos of paying small taxes despite his billionaire status. While the world is still reeling from Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez tying the knot in Venice, Charlize Theron has trolled the attendees of the lavish nuptials. Present at the ceremony were notable figures such as Tom Brady, the Kardashians, Ivanka Trump, Oprah Winfrey, Usher, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Orlando Bloom. The guest list also included several other high-profile stars and family members of the couple, which in total was rumored to be around 200. However, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Theron, who claimed not to have received an invite to the wedding, took a jab at the attendees during a charity event she was hosting. "I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding. But that's OK because they suck and we're cool," the 49-year-old said at the event organized for her non-profit Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project. Theron's comments have since gone viral, with several slamming the actress as a "hater" and calling what she said "snide" while claiming she was "jealous." One person on X wrote, "Why all the hate for that wedding? I thought it was tacky, but it's their cash, their call, their life. Those Hollywood elitists bashing it weren't even invited. Venice gave the green light, so deal with it. Their money, their party." Another noted, "Another Hollywood Elite p-ssed that she wasn't invited to the wedding?" A third individual commented, "Was she mad she wasn't invited? I mean, yeah, they suck but so does she." Amid the criticism, some sided with Theron and called out Bezos and Sanchez's lavish nuptials. A fan wrote, "There is something wrong when the founder of Amazon can spend 50 million on a wedding while the employees in Amazon warehouses are working to the bone for a pittance." While her remark appeared to be made in good humor, the wedding wasn't without controversy. Ahead of the nuptials, protesters gathered multiple times in Venice, vowing to disrupt the celebration. Some local activists claimed that their protest was rooted in opposition to the "hubris" and "entitlement" of Bezos, whom they labeled as a "technocrat feudal overlord." Two activist groups, Greenpeace and Everyone Hates Elon, also unveiled a massive anti-Bezos banner that boldly displayed the words "If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax." The groups also released a joint statement to emphasize their demands, pointing out that Bezos pays far less in taxes than someone with his level of wealth should. "Jeff Bezos is the second-richest man in the world, yet is reported to pay a 1.1% true tax rate," they said, per the Daily Mail. "The multi-million-dollar wedding is reportedly happening over three days, with the wedding ring alone worth as much as $5 million." Despite the backlash surrounding the nuptials, reports claim that the city of Venice was expected to generate over $1 billion from hosting the celebration. This figure reportedly accounts for nearly 68% of the city's annual tourism revenue, driven by extensive logistics arranged for the couple and their guests, along with hospitality services. As part of the wedding festivities, the couple reserved dozens of water taxis, effectively booking out a large portion of the city's fleet. Guests also filled nearly all of Venice's top luxury hotels, including the Aman Hotel, where Bezos and Sánchez stayed, along with the St. Regis, Gritti Palace, Cipriani, and Hotel Danieli. Given the massive figures, it is no wonder that Daniela Santanchè, the minister of tourism in Italy, earlier called for activists to "abandon the controversy and focus on opportunities." "This is not just a private event but a concrete driving force for the entire sector," she said in a news release, per CNN. Venice has all it takes to transform it into an opportunity for relaunch and promotion." Following the wedding, the newly married couple has reportedly left Venice to begin their honeymoon. Although they haven't disclosed their exact plans, a source revealed that they would first stay in the Torcello area before heading to Nicelli Airport, per The Mirror. From there, Bezos and Sánchez are expected to board a helicopter that will take them back to Bezos' $500 million superyacht, Koru, where they will set sail for Taormina in Sicily. The historic destination is said to be a favorite of the couple, who fell in love with it during a sailing trip around the region last year. In Taormina, they are expected to stay at the Four Seasons San Domenico Palace, the same hotel famously featured as a primary filming location in "The White Lotus" Season 2.

Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sanchez Are Reportedly 'Livid' About One Star's Ruthless Criticism of Their Wedding
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez were getting criticized left and right throughout their wedding weekend, but one star in particular reportedly made the Amazon founder and his bride 'livid' with her comments. According to a June 30 report from famed celebrity reporter Rob Shuter, Bezos was fuming when he learned what Charlize Theron said about his decadent Venice wedding, while Sanchez had to be 'talked down' from firing off against the South African actress on Instagram. More from SheKnows Inside Charlize Theron's Dark, Traumatic Childhood & How She Overcame Her Past Per Shuter, the newlyweds have now banned Theron from attending their future events, including Blue Origin launches, and any future charity galas sponsored by the couple. Shuter's source thinks Theron will be just fine without invites from the duo. On June 28, Mad Max actress poked fun at Bezos and Sanchez while hosting the fifth annual Block Party for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project on Saturday, telling attendees, 'I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding.' 'But that's OK because they suck and we're cool,' Theron added, per The Hollywood Reporter. Theron then called attention to the world's political crises, a reality that has caused many to criticize Bezos and Sanchez for their tone-deaf event, which was attended by President Donald Trump's daughter, Ivanka. 'Here in Los Angeles, in the US and across the globe, we're moving backwards fast,' Theron said. 'Immigration policy has destroyed the lives of families, not criminals; women's rights are becoming less and less every day; queer and trans lives are increasingly being erased; and gender-based violence is on the rise.' She joined a list of other A-listers who lined up to criticize the couple, whose wedding sparked anti-capitalist protests in Venice. Katie Couric shared her distaste for Sanchez's wedding dress in a since-deleted Instagram comment, which reportedly read, 'Welcome to the eighties — when big hair and conspicuous consumption ruled. Apparently tacky is back.' Outspoken comedian Rosie O'Donnell also had some thoughts to share in a June 29 Substack post. 'The BEZOS wedding, it turned my stomach. Seeing all these billionaires gathering in the gross excess of it all,' O'Donnell wrote. 'Is Oprah friends with Jeff Bezos? Really — how is that possible? He treats his employees with disdain. By any metric he is not a nice man.' Others, like Mia Farrow and Olivia Munn, turned their attention towards Bezos' ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott, praising her for her philanthropy in the years since her expensive divorce from the Blue Origin founder.
