Colin Farrell had an unscripted moment on the Tonight Show when a woman from the audience walked up to him as he was talking to host Jay Leno.
The 30-year-old Irish actor quickly escorted her off stage and asked for security in the incident Thursday.
``She said something to Colin Farrell that no one heard, then he took her by the elbow, led her off stage, asked the cameramen to turn off their cameras and asked for security,'' said Molly Mattaini, who was visiting from St. Paul, Minnesota.
No one was hurt during the incident, which police said was initially thought to be part of a skit. When it became clear that her intentions were less than friendly, the woman was hustled away by the show's security staff.
Entertainment gossip TV show Access Hollywood identified the woman as Dessarae Bradford. It said she had unsuccessfully alleged in a lawsuit that Farrell stalked her with inappropriate calls and text messages.
Access Hollywood, quoting an audience member, said the woman shouted at Farrell, "I'll see you in court," and Farrell replied, "You're insane."
Farrell was promoting his appearance in the upcoming movie Miami Vice, and showed up a few hours later at the film's world premiere. At the after-party, he was flanked by security guards.
David Hasselhoff is sanguine about how his superstar status as a singer in Europe has never translated to the US.
"I'm a big punching bag," he told the Television Critics Association's summer meeting Friday. "I just kind of go with the flow. I never really desperately tried to break this market. If it happens, it happens."
The 54-year-old actor is best known in the US for his TV hits Baywatch and Knight Rider. He currently co-stars with Adam Sandler in the movie Click and is a judge on the NBC reality series America's Got Talent.
Hasselhoff said his new single Jump in My Car is headed toward the top 10 on the British charts.
"If it breaks over here, fine," he said.
Hasselhoff is still recovering after severing a tendon in his right arm last month in an accident in London. He was shaving when he hit his head on a lamp and it broke.
"A big piece came down and sliced four tendons and an artery," he said. "The good news is it didn't hit a major nerve. I had some nerve damage, but I can still use it, and that's good."
Janet Jackson says finding love with longtime boyfriend and producer Jermaine Dupri gave her a new perspective on life while recording her new album.
"I always wanted to find love," she said. "Now, that I found love, I'm in a different space now."
Jackson smiled on numerous occasions when she commented on her relationship with Dupri, who produced a few tracks on her upcoming record, 20 Years Old, which is set for release on Sept. 26. "Jermaine is drama-free," the 40-year-old Jackson said.
Jackson lost 27kg after she had to pass on a role in the upcoming movie Tennessee to finish the album.
Asked if she used the same type of sexual material this time as on past albums, she said: "I enjoy talking about it. It shouldn't be any different from before."
When nature calls, Masana Izawa has followed the same routine for more than 50 years: heading out to the woods in Japan, dropping his pants and doing as bears do. “We survive by eating other living things. But you can give faeces back to nature so that organisms in the soil can decompose them,” the 74-year-old said. “This means you are giving life back. What could be a more sublime act?” “Fundo-shi” (“poop-soil master”) Izawa is something of a celebrity in Japan, publishing books, delivering lectures and appearing in a documentary. People flock to his “Poopland” and centuries-old wooden “Fundo-an” (“poop-soil house”) in
Jan 13 to Jan 19 Yang Jen-huang (楊仁煌) recalls being slapped by his father when he asked about their Sakizaya heritage, telling him to never mention it otherwise they’ll be killed. “Only then did I start learning about the Karewan Incident,” he tells Mayaw Kilang in “The social culture and ethnic identification of the Sakizaya” (撒奇萊雅族的社會文化與民族認定). “Many of our elders are reluctant to call themselves Sakizaya, and are accustomed to living in Amis (Pangcah) society. Therefore, it’s up to the younger generation to push for official recognition, because there’s still a taboo with the older people.” Although the Sakizaya became Taiwan’s 13th
Earlier this month, a Hong Kong ship, Shunxin-39, was identified as the ship that had cut telecom cables on the seabed north of Keelung. The ship, owned out of Hong Kong and variously described as registered in Cameroon (as Shunxin-39) and Tanzania (as Xinshun-39), was originally People’s Republic of China (PRC)-flagged, but changed registries in 2024, according to Maritime Executive magazine. The Financial Times published tracking data for the ship showing it crossing a number of undersea cables off northern Taiwan over the course of several days. The intent was clear. Shunxin-39, which according to the Taiwan Coast Guard was crewed
For anyone on board the train looking out the window, it must have been a strange sight. The same foreigner stood outside waving at them four different times within ten minutes, three times on the left and once on the right, his face getting redder and sweatier each time. At this unique location, it’s actually possible to beat the train up the mountain on foot, though only with extreme effort. For the average hiker, the Dulishan Trail is still a great place to get some exercise and see the train — at least once — as it makes its way
