Ke Huy Quan ended an emotional Oscars night by reuniting with his “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” co-star Harrison Ford on stage. Ford presented the final award of the 2023 ceremony, which went to “Everything Everywhere All at Once” for best picture. As Quan and Ford came face to face as the “Everything Everywhere” cast took the stage to accept the prize, the two actors and former co-stars shared an emotional hug. Quan won the Oscar for best supporting actor earlier in the ceremony.
Ford championed Quan’s performance in “Everything Everywhere” all awards season long. Quan got his start in Hollywood as a child actor, making his feature film debut opposite Ford in Steven Spielberg’s 1984 adventure “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.”
“I’m so happy for him. He’s a great guy,” Ford told Entertianment Tonight about Quan’s Oscar nomination in January. “He’s a wonderful actor.

Jimmy Kimmel opened the 95th Oscars Sunday night with only the mildest of jabs at stars including nominees Austin Butler and Steven Spielberg, as well as Nicole Kidman’s ever-present AMC ad.
His genuinely funny monologue didn’t skimp on references to Will Smith’s infamous Oscar slap last year, with Kimmel joking that anyone who committed violence at the awards show would “be given the Best Actor Oscar and allowed to make a 19-minute speech.”
After parachuting in as if dropped off by Tom Cruise’s “Top Gun: Maverick” character, Kimmel quipped, “I’m happy to see that Nicole Kidman has finally been released from that abandoned AMC where she has been held captive for almost two full years now. It’s good to have you back. And thank you for encouraging people who are already at the movie theater to go to the movies.”

As the movie world embraces the incredible comeback story of Ke Huy Quan, nobody seems to be more thrilled than Steven Spielberg. Almost 40 years after giving Quan his breakout role in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Spielberg has turned into Quan’s biggest cheerleader on the awards season circuit. The lasting friendship of the actor-director tandem has now turned into a Hollywood ending of its own.
Ke Huy Quan played Short Round in ‘Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom’
When Quan was 12 years old, he accompanied his brother to an audition for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and could not imagine the U-turn his life was about to take. “I was coaching [my brother] on what to do behind the camera, and the casting director saw me and asked me if I’m interested in reading for him, and I said yes.

There aren’t many people in the world who do not know who Cher is. The woman is an icon. She has had a successful career for over six decades. She sings, she acts, and she does it all. A young Cher started out as a singing duo with her then-husband Sonny Bono.
The couple had top 10 singles and starred in their own variety show. As successful as they were, their marriage didn’t work and they divorced in 1975. Since then, she only married once more but she has had many boyfriends. Cher dated some well-known faces, some not so famous, and some much younger men.

She may not look it, but Cher is now 76 years old. Her new boyfriend Alexander Edwards is 37. The two met at Paris Fashion Week in September 2022.
There has of course been criticism of their almost 40-year age difference.

Following the release of Prince Harry‘s revealing memoir Spare, there’s been a lot of talk around that term and other royal “spares.”
In his book, Prince Harry wrote about Queen Elizabeth’s sister, Princess Margaret, and how much he thought he had in common with his great-aunt. But now a close friend of the late Countess of Snowdon is reacting to Harry’s comparison and insisting that Margaret would have never written anything like what he did about her sibling.

Many artists are happy to sing Paul McCartney’s praises, but he has come across as rude and condescending to a few musicians. Some of McCartney’s comments about other musicians are delivered to them indirectly through his many interviews. On other occasions, he has made comments directly to an artist’s face. Here are three times that McCartney insulted another musician with his words.

Phil Collins met McCartney in 2002, and he immediately knew that they would not be friends. When Collins asked him to sign a book, McCartney teased him about it, which infuriated the drummer.

"It's a lot of pressure - you take on the role of a superhero wherever you go. To the little kid who walks by, you are Spider-Man. I think he handled that so well."
As a detail-oriented Virgo, Zendaya's not shy about her perfectionist tendencies, admitting that making mistakes makes her nervous. "If something is not perfect or the best, then I feel like I might as well have not even done it," she explained. "I turn something into being the worst thing,...

Alicia Keys is a master of many genres. Proof of that recently came in the form of an unexpected Post Malone cover she performed at the 2019 iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas. In the video, shown below, Keys sings her recently released "Show Me Love" before transitioning into the rapper's 2016 hit "Congratulations."
