Welsh actor, writer and director Celyn Jones has set “Madfabulous” as his next directorial venture.
The British indie is based on the true story of Henry Cyril Paget, fifth Marquess of Anglesey, who was once one of the richest men in Britain but died penniless and forgotten at the age of 29 in France.
“It’s full of pathos and humanity, it’s very much a character who wants to get the attention of his family who don’t want him and he keeps upping the ante with his spending, his flamboyance and his dancing,” Jones told Variety about the 1890s-set film. “What happens if you are a theatrical, and you are very gender fluid at a time when when people didn’t even know what that was? And you’ve got all the money in the world to do that. Well, of course, you buy a theater company, you buy...

The copyright battle over Road House and this year’s remake starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Conor McGregor has turned into a full-on bare-knuckle legal brawl.
If R. Lance Hill, who penned the original 1986 script under the moniker David Lee Henry, thought in his February filing that he was going to bop Amazon Studios, MGM Studios and United Artists over “blatant copyright infringement” – he just got smacked back, hard.
“Plaintiff’s Complaint ignores the well-established rule of copyright law that the author of a work made for hire is not the individual who created the work,” declares the counterclaim filing by Amazon Studios, MGM and United Artists in federal court on May 3 (read it here).

Doctor Who’s Ncuti Gatwa and W1A’s Hugh Skinner will star in a National Theatre revival of Oscar Wilde’s play about courtships, betrothals, and confused identities. The Importance of Being Earnest also stars three-time Olivier Award winner Sharon D. Clarke playing the imperious Lady Bracknell.
Director Max Webster, making his Nt debut, told Deadline exclusively that casting Gatwa and Skinner as the idle bachelors Algernon Moncrieff and Jack Worthing -both leading double lives – who pursue two young women, both determined to marry someone called Ernest, and with Clarke as the dreadnaught dowager decreeing her own rules of class, taste, and propriety, was “a dream come true.”

With no proof, no pictures, no reliable sources, some members of the public – internet – are quite convinced that Prince William had an affair with Rose Hanbury that’s part of his and wife Princess Kate’s inner circle.
Before you start blowing off steam on these allegations, it’s only right to consider that both families have young children and no one wants to have affair rumors hanging over their heads.
And what if Prince William cheated? Why should we care more than Kate Middleton does? I’d really like to know the time and place where Prince William took out marriage certificates for the rest of us.
While these rumors are “completely false,” they sting, as any untrue allegations against someone must do.

An apparently happy and healthy-looking Kate Middleton was seen walking alongside her husband, Prince William, near Windsor Castle in video footage reportedly shot over the weekend. The video is helping to dispel one of this year’s most enduring conspiracy theories regarding her health and whereabouts while recovering from abdominal surgery — though skepticism still abounds, as the Palace has yet to verify or comment on the video. And now speculation around the royal has moved to a second image she shared in 2022 that on Tuesday was deemed to have been altered.
The video was shot on Saturday about a mile outside of Windsor, England, and has been verified by TMZ, which posted the clip online on Monday. The Middleton sighting had initially been reported over the weekend, without the footage, and the new clip seemingly verifies those reports; TMZ stated that it verified that footage metadata.

In the wake of Kate Middleton’s alleged disappearance, the rumors of a fallout between the Princess of Wales and Prince William have reared their heads again. The speculation has caught the frenzy of internet sleuths, so much so that wild conspiracy theories are doing the rounds on social media.

King Charles‘ recent appointment of Sir Edward Young as a Permanent Lord in Waiting carries significant undertones. The selection of Young, who has served the royal family loyally for years, might seem logical, but it may not sit well with Prince Harry.
This decision appears to be more than a mere staffing choice; it could be seen as a direct insult to the Duke of Sussex. Harry’s strained relationship with Young has been widely discussed, particularly in his memoir, where he paints a less-than-flattering picture of the newly-appointed Lord in Waiting.

Charles recently named Young one of the highest honors in the royal family: Permanent Lord in Waiting. The move did not come as a huge surprise given Young’s track record with the royal family, but it might disappoint Harry.
