Scott Patterson: “Gilmore Girls” star settles with series
“Gilmore Girls” fans must be very strong now. Because when Luke Danes actor Scott Patterson, 63, remembers a scene in the third season, he almost gets sick. The reason? He was treated as an object.
In the new episode of his I Am All In podcast, which chronicles his time on Gilmore Girls, he addresses a moment he looks back on as “disturbing”. In the episode “Keg! Max!” the script called for Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham, 55) and girlfriend Sookie St. James (Melissa McCarthy, 52) to discuss Luke’s butt. “I realized that this wasn’t okay and I didn’t feel comfortable about it at all. In fact, I was really embarrassed. It’s annoying to be treated like that because you’re seen as an object,” Patterson said. “It’s disturbing and gross and I had to endure that for the entire scene and many takes.”

It was all about his butt, even after the shoot. “It was the most disturbing time I’ve ever had on set and I couldn’t wait for the day to be over,” said the Luke actor. In hindsight, Patterson wishes he had said how he felt at the time. “It’s just as disgusting when women objectify men as it is when men objectify women.”

Fran Drescher: “I met someone last year, but…”
“The Nanny” star Fran Drescher, 64, enjoys her single life. For the first time in her life, the actress can say she’s “alone and very happy” with it. Nevertheless, Drescher emphasizes in an interview with “Bunte” that she can certainly imagine love. As a celebrity, however, that is not so easy.
“It’s not easy for me to find a man,” said the 64-year-old. When dating, she would quickly notice whether it would fit. She noticed that one of her character traits would deter many potential partners. “I’m too strong for many men,” explains “The Nanny” actress. A realization that Fran also had to make in 2021. “I met someone last year, but then I ended it,” she admits. But she is not sad about the lack of love. The actress appreciates her freedom as a single.
Eva Mendes shares a rare glimpse into her relationship with Ryan Gosling
Eva Mendes, 48, and Ryan Gosling, 41, have been in a relationship for eleven years. The couple now has two daughters, Esmeralda Amada, 7, and Amada Lee, 6. Details of family life, however, are a rarity. Even footage showing Gosling and Mendes together is considered a rarity. Fans are all the more pleased that the former actress is now openly talking about her feelings for Ryan and her children.
At the Skura Style brand event, Eva Mendes explained that she’s been redefining the word home since dating the actor. It is no longer a place that she calls her home, but rather the people with whom she lives. “Wherever they are, that’s what [Zuhause] is,” said the 48-year-old. A touching declaration of love to her family.
As early as 2019, Mendes raved to the US magazine “Women’s Health” that she could only imagine having children with Gosling by her side. She thought differently because of the 41-year-old today. “Not to have children, but to have his children get,” says the designer.

Director Kevin Smith reveals details about Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s dream wedding
On Saturday, August 20, 2022, Ben Affleck, 50, and Jennifer Lopez, 53, tied the knot a second time in Savannah. Since then, new details about the celebrity wedding have come to light every day. Director Kevin Smith, 52, a friend of the couple, has now spoken to ET Online about the celebrations.
It was a particularly emotional day – not only for the newlyweds, but also for their guests. “I cried the whole time because it was so damn beautiful. So beautiful,” Smith admits. The highlight of the festival was the “overwhelmingly emotional” wedding. No wonder the director feels so sympathy for the newlyweds: After all, he directed the romantic comedy “Jersey Girl” in 2004, in which “Bennifer” stood in front of the camera together.
18 years later, he got to watch as Ben and Jennifer finally found happiness. For Smith it was “one of the most beautiful events I’ve ever been to in my life”. The 52-year-old did not want to reveal any more details. This is something that only the bride and groom are entitled to.

This is how James Van Der Beek’s family dealt with life-threatening miscarriages
James Van Der Beek, 45, and his wife Kimberly are the proud parents of six children. But her daughters Olivia, 11, Annabel, 8, Emilia, 6, and Gwendolyn, 4, and sons Joshua, 10, and Jeremiah, 10 months, lost two siblings. In an emotional post, the “Dawson’s Creek” actor now explains how his family coped with the miscarriages. He posts several snaps showing the Van Der Beeks by a river. While the first picture is from 2019, the others were taken in 2022.
“We had just lost a baby at 18 weeks and almost [Kimberly] lost,” he begins. Since one of his projects “rapidly deteriorated” at the time, he and his loved ones spontaneously drove north in a rented mobile home – “without any real plan”. After resting at a random parking space at night, they woke up up next to that body of water the next morning.” And so the process—not necessarily of healing—but of presence began. Present to the pain. Present for the beauty around us. And present for the acceptance of being in a process that I didn’t understand,” he continues.
Two and a half years later, after moving from Los Angeles to Texas and after Kimberly suffered another miscarriage, the extended family returned to this special place with little Jeremiah with them. When James thinks back to the first trip today, he is amazed “how much peace I could feel in the midst of this darkness.” Therefore, he now wants to encourage other affected people and emphasizes that a “small change of environment should not be underestimated”. “Healing comes at its own pace. Presence is perhaps just a requirement,” he finally writes.
Mark Zuckerbergs: What a cool suit for daughter Max!
Having Mark Zuckerberg, 38, as a dad certainly means lots of fun. The Facebook founder posted a picture of daughter Maxima, 6, wearing a purple gladiator helmet on Instagram. Apparently her dad built it using an unusual method. “I’ve finished 3D printing the first part of Max’s suit,” the caption reads.
Two weeks earlier, Mark posted an Instagram picture of Dad teaching his daughter about 3D printing technology. “[…] Now Max wants to print a superhero suit. I will try to print individual foil wings. […]”, wrote Mark in the description of the post. Maybe he will soon share the end result with his followers: they think the idea for the costume is great. “Epic”, is the unanimous verdict of the users: inside.
