Rebecca Ferguson is currently promoting A House of Dynamite, directed by Kathryn Bigelow, and streaming on Netflix. It?s about what happens in the Situation Room during a nuclear attack, and Idris Elba plays the ?unnamed president.? Rebecca recently chatted with the Times of London about the film, and they asked her about Tom Cruise (she worked closely with Tom in the Mission: Impossible movies) and about the ?blind item.? Last year, Rebecca spoke out about a costar who was exceptionally rude to her on-set, to the point where she fought back, went to producers and demanded to not work in the same scenes with him. She never identified the guy, but she has named the actors we can exclude. Well, she has a bit more to say about that. Some highlights:
A House of Dynamite isn?t a reflection of the Trump White House: ?No, it?s not. In the Situation Room they are not allowed opinions. Their job is to be the highest form of switchboard. They know who the president needs to speak to at a certain point, a vice-president or the head of Russia or China.? The film is ?not about criticising who?s in charge ? it?s questioning the fact that we have such a stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world and we don?t talk about it. Nine countries have active nuclear weapons but only three are part of Nato. What does that mean? What does it mean that one human being can start a nuclear war??
Her blind item about an ?absolute idiot of a co-star?: Ferguson has confirmed that the bully was neither Tom Cruise nor Hugh Jackman, her co-star in The Greatest Showman, nor Ryan Reynolds, with whom she worked on the sci-fi movie Life. The person has not been in touch, she says. Does she think they know she was talking about them? ?I don?t care,? she says, while noting that ?other people who have worked with this person also had a sh-tty time?. It was a complex situation in which she was not blameless, she says. ?I will shove someone under a bus in front of an entire crew to make a point. I don?t applaud my own behaviour in that. It?s a really tricky world. We put a lot of blame on bullies and when we get older we can understand that people are insecure. When you start standing up for yourself, it?s really tricky. They?ll fire you and give the job to someone else.?
She loves Dune & Denis Villeneuve: Dune is ?one of those universes that come once in a blue moon ? like the original Star Wars. It?s because Denis [Villeneuve, the director] had this dream since he was a little boy. He f***ing loved Dune.?
Whether she?s lobbying Villeneuve to appear in the new James Bond film: ?No ? I would have been pushing to play the baddie. We haven?t had a female Bond villain.? This is not quite true ? Sophie Marceau in The World Is Not Enough springs to mind ? but we could do with more. ?I already said that to Denis ? ?female Bond villain, bitch!? He was like, ?Oh l l.? I love the Bonds, most of them, but I often found that they weren?t very good at writing for women.?
On the Mission: Impossible franchise. ?You don?t have scripts and have no idea where it?s going to go, which is annoying and tedious and glorious. You train for a stunt scene for months and all of a sudden they cut it.? Cruise is ?a man-child in a good way. I often joke that there?s someone with a tranquilliser gun and a net looking for him. It?s frustrating because you?re ready to shoot and the sun?s going down. Tom goes, ?What are we waiting for?? and I go, ?You!? And he laughs and goes, ?F***, I?m sorry.??
[From The Times]
Rebecca has always had a lot of affection for Tom Cruise, do with that what you will. The feeling is mutual Tom is one of her biggest fans and he compares her beauty to Ingrid Bergman?s. I do think she means ?man-child in a good way? as a compliment, as in, Tom brings a childlike excitement to filmmaking, stunts, acting. As for the blind-item guy? Jake Gyllenhaal? That?s who I settled on when she told this story initially, and I still sort of think it?s him. She?s right though even if the whole production knew that this guy is a bully, she still could have been fired for standing up to him.

| | Taylor Swift wore Thom Browne for a dinner out with Sabrina Carpenter | | Added 26 hours ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Taylor Swift has owned an apartment in New York for over a decade, and for much of that time, New York has been her base. She obviously has other homes, in Newport, LA and Nashville, but she loves New York. I think it?s really cute that she consistently wants the New York paparazzi to get full-length photos of her outfits too. It?s great for gossip blogs, fashion blogs and the press, and it happens so often, I have to believe that Taylor?s security has explicit instructions to let photographers get shots of her ensembles when she?s out and about.
So it was on Friday night, when Taylor went out to dinner with Sabrina Carpenter. They went to the Corner Store in Soho you can see the menu here, it sounds really good. Lots of steaks and seafood. Taylor?s shirt and skirt are from Thom Browne and I kind of hate those separates! The skirt is sort of interesting, but she probably should have paired it with a cream knit or something. Her purse is from The Row, and her platform heels are Gucci. The audacity of tall-ass Taylor wearing platform heels for dinner with SABRINA! Short-ass Sabrina, who is barely five feet tall. You can read more about Taylor and Sabrina?s looks here at Vogue Taylor wore a lot of jewelry and Vogue ID?d it all.
Earlier on Friday, the Recording Academy released the 2026 Grammy nominations. Taylor was SNUBBED! LOL, no, she wasn?t. The Life of a Showgirl came out after the 2025 eligibility period, so if Showgirl gets Grammy noms, it will be in 2027. Sabrina?s 2025 album, Man?s Best Friend, got six nominations including ROTY, SOTY, AOTY, best pop vocal album, best pop solo and best music video. Kendrick Lamar a Swift ally and friend picked up the most Grammy noms for his (spectacular) album GNX. Bad Bunny, Justin Bieber Lady Gaga and Billie Eilish also picked up some significant nominations. I have my fingers crossed for Kendrick to sweep the major categories though. You can see the full list of nominations here.

| | Royalist: 'Angry' Prince William felt like his family 'sabotaged' his Brazilian trip | | Added 26 hours ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Prince William spent about five full days in Brazil and it was a fiasco from start to finish. That?s what no one can admit for all of the whining and crying about thunder-stealing, Billy?s Big Brazilian Flop Tour was full of awkward, undignified photo-ops, an utter lack of charisma, and a big, keen speech which was so hypocritical and out of touch, longtime royalists are newly contemptuous of William and the monarchy. The man posed on a private plane, en route to an environmental conference, in an attempt to prove that he can read!! Like, that alone should tell you everything you need to know. But, according to Tom Sykes? sources, William is full of fury, rage and bile over seemingly everyone in his family successfully upstaging him, especially his father! LMAO.
The Royalist has learned that Prince William ?was left hurt and angry? after his father ? of all people ? stole the spotlight from him last week, staging a headline-grabbing investiture for David Beckham as William?s Earthshot Awards were kicking off in Brazil. For William, who has spent five years turning the prize into his signature platform, the timing, even though the investiture was long scheduled, was more than a clash of diaries; it was seen, according to friends, as a deliberate snub. The decision by King Charles to knight Beckham on Tuesday? fourteen years after his name was first floated for the honor ? was greeted by William?s friends with disbelief.
?Of all weeks,? one friend of William?s told The Royalist, ?this was the one week he needed the family to be pulling for him. Instead, it felt like they were pulling against him. He was left hurt and angry.?
Instead of the seamless royal choreography William envisioned [for his week in Brazil], his trip unraveled into a succession of distractions. ?The family sabotaged it from beginning to end,? the William friend said. ?It was pathetic, like the worst of the bad old days.?
On the day his plane landed, Prince Harry?s team announced a parallel, quasi?royal tour of Canada, scheduled?miraculously?to overlap with William?s itinerary. Meghan Markle?s PR team then leaked news of her ?return to acting? to The Sun midweek, instantly derailing British coverage of the Earthshot Prize.
?In any normal world,? said one newspaper executive, ?William would have been the royal story of the week. But Beckham and Meghan?s comeback swallowed the headlines. The entire British Royal press corps was in Brazil, and somehow none of it mattered.?
The irritant of the Sussexes is old and familiar; what stung William much more, I am told, was the betrayal from inside the tent.
?David Beckham had waited fifteen years,? said a former courtier. ?And they had to do it this week? When you think of how gracious William had been, paying tribute to his father?s work in his speech, it?s a slap in the face. I?m afraid Charles still can?t bear not to be the center of attention. If he couldn?t be at COP30 himself, then nobody else was allowed to have the moment.?
The King?s allies insist it was a coincidence without malice. ?His Majesty is immensely proud of his son?s work,? a friend of Charles?s told the Daily Beast. ?Investitures are scheduled months in advance.?
One friend of the King?s, however, did concede that there is an ?increasingly delicate? father-son dynamic, dramatically worsened by William?s open contempt for the shambolic way his father handled the ex-Prince Andrew crisis and continues to handle the Harry issue.
Charles, however, has no intention of fading into the background. He insists on maintaining a full public schedule, sometimes to the alarm of Camilla and his doctors, and he guards the symbols of kingship?audiences, investitures, the odd glittering photo call?as fiercely as ever. Friends say that having waited his whole life for this role, he?s not about to start taking instruction from anyone, even his son.
[From The Royalist Substack]
I often say Charles got the heir he deserves, but it?s also true that William got the father he deserves too. My god. I also thought it was funny that Charles did David Beckham?s investiture during William?s Brazilian Flop Tour, but I figured the same thing that it was something which had been on the schedule for a while, and it?s just the way things lined up. This makes it two different ?things? of which William was in the dark: Buckingham Palace knew about Beckham?s investiture AND they were informed of Harry?s trip to Canada. From the sound of it, BP did not inform William or Kensington Palace at all. Or maybe they did send a memo and Illiterate Bill just missed it. As for William thrashing around ?hurt and angry? at family betrayals? the worse option is that Harry, Meghan and Charles were all helping William by distracting the press from writing about the Brazilian fiasco.
This is just a mere glimpse of how people reacted when they actually paid attention to Billy?s Brazilian Flop Tour.
Nice But Dim Bill is talking unadulterated shit. It is acquiescence that has brought us to the gates of hell, when the likes of him fly in on a private jet to drive along a road built from the chopping down of 100,000 trees to tell us to tighten our belts. Are we mental? https://t.co/ZPE035iP1o
