Bushido expresses desire for an open marriage
Will Bushido, 46, and Anna-Maria Ferchichi, 43, soon have an open marriage? At least that’s what the rapper suggests in an interview with RTL. But for him it’s not about getting to know other people outside of his relationship, but about watching TV shows. As the musician has often noted, he is a self-confessed “The Summer House of the Stars” fan. Apparently he usually watches the show with his loved one, but he made a big mistake on the flight to Germany.
“I watched ‘Battle of the Reality Stars’ or ‘The Summer House of the Stars’ the entire flight and was actually forbidden to do that,” explains the 46-year-old in an interview. He told the influencer that he wouldn’t continue watching, but then downloaded the last episodes before the long flight. In order to avoid possible arguments in the future, he expresses a clear wish at the end: “Anna-Maria, I would like to have an open marriage in which we both practically watch ‘Summer House of the Stars’ without each other can.” Well, will the 43-year-old get involved?
Richard Gere shows the presenter the middle finger on a TV show
Richard Gere, 75, appears on the “Today” show to promote his new spy series “The Agency,” set in the CIA’s London office. Before presenter Savannah Guthrie, 52, begins the interview with the Hollywood star, a clip from the series is shown. In it, Gere’s role has an argument with Dominic West’s, 55, character. After the end of the video, Richard Gere and Savannah Guthrie are shown again – and suddenly the actor gives the NBC presenter the middle finger.
Completely perplexed, the 52-year-old says she doesn’t know what’s going on or what just happened. She tries to cover her guest’s middle finger with her moderation cards. The actor explains that his series character actually flips his counterpart the bird at the end of the previously shown scene. The sequence would make no sense without this gesture, explains the 75-year-old with a laugh. “You just made an obscene gesture on that family morning show,” Guthrie says, adding, “We cut that part out of the clip. But then you did it live!” After another brief laugh, the two finally talk about the series.

The “Rote Rosen” cast gets new faces
Anyone who tunes in to “Rote Rosen” every day knows the characters surrounding the “Drei Könige” hotel very well, but that could soon change. In the past few weeks, a number of stars have reported that they are leaving the series. Among other things, Lara-Isabelle Rentinck, 38, is out after six years. She recently contacted her followers on Instagram and explained: “The seven lives of Amelie. This story ends – another continues, mine.” In her emotional post, she also thanks the fans who spent their afternoons with her. Hakim-Michael Mezani, 57, also says goodbye. He announced his exit to “Bild” and noted that his role had been a “six in the lottery”. For many fans it is certainly just as difficult to cope with, as he was part of the regular ensemble for many years. The popular Dr. Hendrik Althaus played by Jerry Kwarteng, 48, will also be leaving because he is dying of serial death. “It wasn’t easy for me either,” he explained on Instagram.
But the loyal TV following can also look forward to wonderful new characters. “GZSZ” star Lea Marlen Woitack, 37, Alessia Mazzola, 24, Francesco Oscar Schramm, 19, and Sarah Buchholzer, 24, are now honoring beautiful Lüneburg.
Beatrice Egli expresses herself on Instagram with an emotional message
Pop singer Beatrice Egli, 36, caused great emotions with an Instagram post on November 19th: With the post she announced the release of a music video for the song “Zwischen den Wolken”. This song has a special meaning for Beatrice, as she reveals in the caption, it is dedicated to her deceased grandparents.
But it’s not just her personal background that makes the song so unique for the pop icon: “Sharing this song with you every evening on tour was really incredibly special,” she addresses her fans via Instagram. And they also respond to the emotional words with great emotion. “Simply super emotional, we were able to attend two concerts and each time we had a lump in our throats and tears in our eyes! I love your message and the way in which you still deal with the topic of death and grief in such a positive way,” commented a user.
The video for “Between the Clouds” will be released on November 21, 2024.

Meeting King Charles was no big deal for Paul Mescal
For many people, meeting King Charles, 76, would be the greatest thing ever. But not for actor Paul Mescal, 28. He met the British monarch at the London premiere of “Gladiator II”. Now he reveals how he perceived this royal meeting.
“I definitely wasn’t expecting it, but I’m Irish so it wasn’t on my priority list,” he explains in an interview with Variety. Great enthusiasm sounds different, but he knows how special this moment was for director Ridley Scott, 86, because the film was valued by the king. That evening, completely different things were going through the actor’s mind and the excitement before the world premiere seemed to be greater than getting to know the British King in person. He also didn’t really understand the words that he said to him. In this case, the “All of Us Strangers” actor opted for the tried-and-tested smile and nod.

“I would have refused”: Ed Sheeran distances himself from one of his old songs
In 1984, “I Don’t Like Mondays” singer Bob Geldof, 73, and musician Midge Ure, 71, founded the “Band Aid” project. In addition to the huge “Live Aid” charity concert, they recorded a Christmas song for it. “Don’t You Know It’s Christmas” is about the alleged suffering of people in Africa – it raises the question of whether they even know about Christmas. The song was re-recorded in 2014 – alongside Ed Sheeran, 33, Sam Smith, 32, Ellie Goulding, 27, and the band “One Direction” also took part in the new version. Some lines of text that were already considered critical at the time were changed. This time the money collected was intended to help combat the Ebola epidemic.
The black rapper Fuse ODG, 35, sees this “help” differently. He was also asked for the project in 2014 – but declined. With a 40th anniversary release set to release this year, Fuse ODG once again commented on his motivations on Instagram. “While they may raise sympathy and donations for people, they perpetuate harmful stereotypes about Africa.” And further: “They create more pity than partnership.” His mission is to “reclaim the narrative and encourage Africans to tell their own stories.”
Ed Sheeran shared his fellow artist’s words of approval in his story. After a decade, his understanding of the narrative changed. He hopes to be progressive with his personal attitude. The voice of the “Shape of You” interpreter was used for the new version without being asked. If he had had the choice, “I would have respectfully declined.”
“Fuck Edward!”: Taylor Lautner shares controversial “Twilight” video
It’s the question that still divides the fan community of the “Twilight” books and their film adaptations: Team Edward or Team Jacob? At the end of the story, the main character Bella decides for the vampire and against the werewolf. “Jacob Black” actor Taylor Lautner, 32, has probably not been able to cope with this loss to this day. With a humorous Instagram clip, he reminds us of how the story surrounding his wolf character should actually have ended: Lautner is filming the television in front of him, which is currently showing the wedding scene between Bella and Edward. “Honestly, f**k Edward! Bella should have stayed with Jacob,” one caption reads.
Then he suddenly switches from the outside camera on his cell phone to the inside camera and is embarrassed. “Oh no, no, no,” is the actor’s reaction before ending the video. Loyal social media users know that this is a funny TikTok trend in which people give seemingly anonymous advice aimed at their own community, only to accidentally find themselves part of that audience and theirs to reveal obvious ulterior motives.
The campaign has been extremely well received by fans of the “Twilight” star. “You won the trend,” “the best version of this trend I’ve ever seen,” and “you can’t beat this,” are the comments on Lautner’s video. Meanwhile, the official “Twilight” Instagram account also plays along and comments, “Come on, we’ve talked about it,” to which Lautner ironically replies, “I know, I know. I have no idea what’s gotten into me.”
