Ryan Reynolds, 46, football club owner, is intoxicated. “Everything I wear smells like champagne, beer and weed,” the Hollywood actor wrote on social media, adding that he “still feels somewhere between giggling and sobbing.” A good two years ago, Reynolds and his actor friend Rob McElhenney, 46, took over AFC Wrexham, and the traditional Welsh club has now risen to the fourth English division. Amid the cheers of thousands of fans, Reynolds snagged the silver trophy for a kiss. “This city and this sport are among the most romantic things in the world,” he later explained.
Willem-Alexander, 55, King of the Netherlands, only gets a “sufficient” from his subjects. He has been on the throne for ten years. The appointment in the red king’s coat lined with ermine was an almost unreal experience, he recalled in a podcast for the anniversary, an “out-of-body experience” – “as if I was floating above myself”. In the meantime, the king has landed with both feet on the ground again: for the third year in a row, his popularity ratings in opinion polls have fallen. His wife Máxima, 51, has also lost popularity. During the pandemic, the couple jetted to Greece while the Dutch were told to stay at home. A little later, the family celebrated Crown Princess Amalia’s birthday in a big way – while the parties had to be canceled for other citizens. That didn’t go over well.
Regina Ziegler, 79, film producer, is annoyed by the poor condition of the German Walk of Fame stars. “The many celebrity stars have rotted and chipped off,” she told the German Press Agency. The section on Potsdamer Platz in Berlin known as “Boulevard der Stars” has been honoring more than 100 celebrities with a star since 2010, based on the Hollywood model. Ziegler, an industry giant for decades, has also been immortalized there. “I’ve been asked a few times that something needs to be done. Apparently nobody cares. That paints a very bad picture of Berlin. In Hollywood, on the other hand, the stars shine day and night.”
John Travolta, 69, actor, has danced a suit valuable. The jacket, vest and pants made of white polyester have now come under the hammer in the United States for $ 260,000 (around 235,000 euros), as announced by Julien’s Auctions. Travolta danced in the suit to the Bee Gees hit “More Than a Woman” in the cult film Saturday Night Fever (1977). The auction took place as part of the “Hollywood: Classic & Contemporary” auction. A program signed by Marilyn Monroe for the birthday celebration of then US President John F. Kennedy in May 1962 brought in almost 89,000 dollars. A bamboo walking stick once owned by Charlie Chaplin has been auctioned for $39,000.
Louis, 5, Prince, shows up in a wheelbarrow for his birthday. Prince William’s youngest son, 40, turned five on Sunday. To celebrate the day, Kensington Palace released two pictures of the British prince in the countryside: On one he is wearing a blue wool sweater, plaid shirt and shorts, sitting in a wheelbarrow while Mama Kate, 41, laughingly pushes him across the lawn. The other shows his smiling face in close-up. The pictures were taken by portrait photographer Millie Pilkington in Windsor. Louis is fourth in line to the British throne and has so far been largely kept out of the public eye. Most recently, he caused amusement with grimaces at the celebrations for the 70th anniversary of his great-grandmother Elizabeth’s throne.
