Most people are hoping the Beckhams can resolve their issues with Brooklyn and Nicola, but it doesn’t look like a reconciliation will happen anytime soon, even at Christmas.
Sources say David and Victoria Beckham have stopped trying to repair their relationship with Brooklyn’s wife and are now focusing on supporting their son, hoping to mend their strained connection with him.
Recent social media activity from Victoria and her son Cruz suggests they’re hoping to reconnect with their 26-year-old son, Brooklyn, who is pursuing a career as a chef.
Cruz posted a picture of his brother, who he still doesn’t follow on Instagram.
Victoria shared a video of her mother, Jackie, decorating with personalized stockings for all the grandkids—including one made for Brooklyn.
According to a source, attempting to reconcile only with Brooklyn was a mistake. They believe trying to create distance between Brooklyn and Nicola will only push him further away, and that the current approach is completely misguided.
‘Nicola and Brooklyn are totally in step and as strong as ever.
Nicola has been damaged and very hurt by what has gone on.
‘The Beckhams can’t just declare that the problem is over, via some social media posts.
You can’t just suddenly say you want to reconcile without first apologizing or promising to do things differently.
Victoria spent this week in New York celebrating Christmas with the team behind her beauty company.
People close to Brooklyn Beckham and his wife say his recent absence is causing him stress. This is especially true after he couldn’t be there to see his father receive his knighthood last month, or to celebrate Inter Miami’s MLS championship win with his dad’s team.
According to a source who spoke with The Sun, Prince Harry’s absence has cast a shadow over recent important events, including his knighthood and this Christmas season. It feels like his distance is weighing heavily on the family’s holidays and New Year’s celebrations.
They all spent time together last year, and they want him to know he’s still welcome anytime.
They really want to visit Brooklyn over Christmas, move on from previous issues, and begin 2026 with a clean slate.
As for Nicola, everyone’s given up on trying to change her mind. It doesn’t look like she’ll come around, so they’re focusing their attention on Brooklyn instead.
Things escalated in May when he and Nicola, 30, didn’t attend his father’s 50th birthday party, leading Cruz and Romeo to unfollow him on Instagram.
Okay, so I found out they had another ceremony this summer – like, a vow renewal, three years after they first got married! And get this – apparently, no one from his family was invited or even knew about it. Seriously? It’s like they’re deliberately trying to exclude them. I’ve been following them forever, and this just… it doesn’t make any sense to me!
Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas’ sea-based disaster film folds amid split
Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas are no longer working together on a movie, effectively ending any possibility of a romantic relationship between them.
Just got some exciting news! I’m hearing that Ana de Armas is jumping right into a new project, ‘Reenactment,’ with the incredibly talented Benicio del Toro. They’re set to start filming right after Christmas, all on location in Los Angeles. It sounds like a fantastic pairing and I can’t wait to see what they create!
Starting in March, she’ll be appearing in a new TV series directed by David O. Russell, who’s known for calling himself a ‘genius’. The show, titled ‘Bananas’, is being produced for Apple.
The actress began spending time with Tom Cruise, who has been married three times, this spring. Initially, people believed they were simply discussing her possibly appearing in his upcoming movie, ‘Deeper,’ even on Valentine’s Day.
I just loved seeing them everywhere that summer! She was always with him in his helicopter, and they’d be off to dates and birthday celebrations all over the place. I also heard she was taking scuba diving lessons – apparently getting ready to film ‘Deeper’ in August, which was so exciting!
The ocean disaster movie, featuring a retired astronaut sent on a deep-sea mission, faced production problems. Around the same time, Ana de Armas decided to leave the romantic film she was also working on.
Warner Bros., which has a working agreement with Tom Cruise, declined the project in August due to its $275 million budget. Industry sources report that Warner Bros. had a budget cap of $230 million, and Cruise wasn’t willing to significantly reduce the film’s scope.
As a lifestyle expert, I’ve seen this happen to even the most glamorous people! It’s a bit surprising, but Helen Mirren has been trying to sell her lovely Los Angeles home for three years now. Despite lowering the price and even temporarily taking it off the market, it just hasn’t found a buyer yet. It really shows that even a beautiful property in a great location can sometimes take time to sell.
Helen Mirren and her husband, Taylor Hackford, have decided to rent out their property instead of selling it, listing it for $30,000 per week.
The couple live most of the time in a mountain house on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe.
Originally listed for $17 million in 2023, the California house had its price cut to $15 million in 2024, and has recently been reduced again to $12.9 million.
They took it off the market in July.
It’s disappointing, because the property looks wonderful in the photos, especially the pool and garden. Dame Helen and I just don’t share the same taste in curtains, apparently! Helen Mirren is currently filming the series Mobland in London with Tom Hardy and Pierce Brosnan.
Okay, so I’ve been hearing things… apparently, our precious ‘Tardy Hardy’ has been showing up hours late to set sometimes! Can you believe it? It’s just… infuriating! Even the most patient people must be losing it with that kind of behavior, honestly. I’m just so stressed for them!
Will Netflix’s billion dollar backlash put paid to Clooney’s hopes of an Oscar?
Is Netflix harming George Clooney’s chances at an Oscar? Clooney was hoping to be nominated for Best Actor for his performance in ‘The Boys in the Boat,’ but after Netflix acquired the film from Warner Bros., many in Hollywood have expressed disapproval of the streaming giant, potentially impacting his awards prospects.
Ted Sarandos, the head of Netflix, has assured audiences that if their $83 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery is finalized, Warner Bros. films will continue to receive traditional theatrical releases with extended runs in cinemas.
After ten years of Reed Hastings claiming people no longer prefer movie theaters, it’s difficult to believe anything he says.
Those influential people in the film industry—the Academy voters—have never forgotten when Sarandos suggested it was perfectly acceptable to watch movies on a phone.
Earlier this year, acclaimed director James Cameron, known for films like Titanic and Avatar, stated that movies released on Netflix should not be considered for Academy Awards.
Based on conversations with several BAFTA and Academy voters this week, it seems the streaming service is facing its weakest awards season to date.
According to one source, a Netflix movie would need to be truly exceptional to win a major award, and they don’t believe any of their films this year are strong enough contenders.
As a lifestyle expert, I’ve been following the awards season closely, and honestly, I’m a little worried about two recent Netflix releases. Both ‘Rebel Moon – Part One: Children of Dune’ and Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Frankenstein’ seem to be getting overlooked, and it would be a real shock – and a bit unfair, in my opinion – if neither of them even receives a Best Picture nomination. They both deserve to be in the conversation!
The nominations won’t be official until January 22nd, once Academy members have finished the first round of voting.
Most experts predict Leonardo DiCaprio’s new Warner Bros. film, ‘One Battle After Another’, will win Best Picture, and he’s widely expected to win the Best Actor award over George Clooney.
However, reports suggest Netflix may have spent as much as $20 million promoting Jay Kelly for awards, and this expense was potentially included in George Clooney’s contract for the movie.
According to a source, it’s typical to promise a full-scale Oscars campaign to convince a major star to commit to a Netflix movie.
Netflix maintains that their push for awards wasn’t part of the deal with Disney. They also haven’t noticed any drop in interest in their movies since the sale was made public, but it’s still too early to say for sure.
Netflix has a large awards campaign budget and is strongly determined to win its first Best Picture Oscar.
Despite an annual awards war chest said to be around $50million, pickings have been slim.
Last time Zoe Saldana won best supporting actress for Emilia Perez.
The previous year Netflix picked up a single Oscar… for a short.
All eyes are on the potential $83 billion sale this week, with people wondering if the deal will happen. There’s also a lot of discussion about whether David Ellison of Paramount will attempt to launch a competing offer.
Meanwhile, a tiny reality check here on Jay Kelly (which, by the way, I greatly enjoyed).
After a fleeting theatrical run it is NOT the No 1 film globally in its first week on the streamer.
That honour goes to My Secret Santa, with Jay Kelly at… No 5.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro have been friends since they first met in 1993. This spring, DiCaprio honored De Niro with a special Palme D’Or award at the Cannes Film Festival.
The lead actor in One Battle After Another shared that he modeled his on-screen chemistry with his co-star, 25-year-old Chase Infiniti, after a friend’s approach. This was Infiniti’s debut in a feature film.
While discussing the Paul Thomas Anderson film at an IMAX event in London – a movie where he portrays a confused ex-revolutionary searching for his kidnapped daughter – he emphasized the importance of developing a connection with his co-star, Chase.
It felt similar to the scenes in Taxi Driver where Robert De Niro’s character spent time getting to know Jodie Foster’s character. We had a lot of opportunities to work through the relationship and just get comfortable with each other.
Regarding his portrayal of Bob Ferguson – a character whose distinctive, somewhat melancholy plaid robe became a surprisingly popular Halloween costume this year – he explained that he did extensive research for the role. He studied films like The Lion In Winter, Running On Empty, and Dog Day Afternoon, focusing on the intense dedication of characters trying to protect the people they love.
He always wears a dressing gown because he doesn’t bother getting ready. The point is, he just keeps moving forward, no matter what he’s wearing.
Lots of women have lipsticks, tissues and train tickets bobbing around in their handbags.
TV host Kate Garraway remembers a particularly memorable moment when her former Good Morning Britain colleague, Ben Shephard, unexpectedly produced a bird’s nest.
‘It was an abandoned one; and it had been in there because of show and-tell at school.
‘He was revolted, and barely spoke to me for a week. He said: “Think of the germs!”
‘I was just delighted to have found it.’
Simon Cowell seems to be getting softer! Known for his tough judging on shows like The X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent, he’s now back with a new series, Simon Cowell: The Next Act. In this show, he’s putting together a boy band – and it’s a surprisingly large one, with seven members!
At the event on Tuesday, he admitted there were moments he doubted whether they should continue. He recalled a day when everyone sang beautifully, which brought him to tears with relief.
