Céline Dion Update: Singer Has Lost Control of Her Muscles

Céline Dion lost all control of her muscles one year after she announced her stiff-person syndrome diagnosis.

Legendary singer and LGBTQ+ icon Céline Dion first spoke about her diagnosis in December 2022 with a video message shared with her fans. Dion said she has been dealing with health problems for a while, but finally had an update.

“Recently, I’ve been diagnosed with a very rare neurological condition called stiff-person syndrome, which affects something like one in a million people,” she said. stiff-person syndrome is a rare and incurable neurological disease that causes muscle spasms, slurred speech, and unsteady walking.

“Unfortunately, these spasms affect every aspect of my daily life. Sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal cords to sing the way I’m used to.”

Family Announces New Health Update

Dion previously canceled her highly anticipated 2023/2024 world tour with the intent of returning to the stage soon. However, a recent update from her sister Claudette reveals her state has worsened.

“She works hard, but she doesn’t have control of her muscles. What pains me is that she has always been disciplined. She always worked hard. Mom always told her, ‘You’re going to do this well, you’re going to do this well.’

“It’s true that, in our dreams and in hers, the idea is to return to the stage. In what state? I do not know. The vocal cords are muscles, and the heart is also a muscle. This is what gets me. Since it’s a one in a million case, scientists haven’t done that much research, because it didn’t affect that many people.”

Céline Dion Makes First Public Appearance

Last month, the “My Heart Will Go On” singer publicly appeared with her family at a Montreal Canadiens hockey game in Las Vegas.

“My boys and I had such a fun time visiting with the Montreal Canadiens after their hockey game with Vegas Golden Knights in Las Vegas Monday night,” she wrote alongside a photo of her family. “They played so well, what a game!! Thank you for meeting us after the game, guys! That was memorable for all of us. Have a great season!”

The 55-year-old was joined by her sons René-Charles, 22, and 13-year-old twins Eddy and Nelson.

Kristen Stewart Gets Hot and Heavy With a Bodybuilder in New Lesbian Thriller

Mullets, murder, make-outs, what more could we ask for?

The first trailer for Love Lies Bleeding, a new romantic thriller from A24 and Film4, stars Kristen Stewart as a mysterious gym manager who falls for a sexy bisexual bodybuilder. Do I have your attention now?

Directed by Rose Glass and from a screenplay she co-wrote with Weronika Tofilska, the film promises love, MUSCLES, sex, and a lot of death. The trailer starts with Stewart’s character, Lou, meeting Jackie (played by Katy O’Brian). The two spark a heated romance. But first, audiences will meet Lou’s father (played by a creepy-looking Ed Harris), who may or may not be being watched by the FBI.

The trailer then takes a turn as the alluded-to intimate scenes between Lou and Jackie are replaced with bloody messes. That’s right, we are disposing of bodies, people. None of this is a surprise once we learn of Harris’ love for guns and mischief. But who are we killing? Will Jackie and Lou stay together? Is that Dave Franco?

The trailer ends on a cliffhanger with Lou and Jackie riding off into the desert with a bloody, maybe dead body in the back of their truck. The film’s got us scratching our heads with more questions than answers, and we’re super eager for it to finally drop!

Watch the trailer below.

Love Lies Bleeding will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival next year.

Is Zack Snyder’s ‘Rebel Moon’ a Queer ‘Star Wars’?

The Justice League director said the film is “a lot more freaky” than the LucasFilm franchise and introduces a nonbinary character in the first installment.

In the vast expanse of cinematic adventures, director Zack Snyder is set to take audiences on a thrilling journey to the farthest reaches of the universe with his upcoming Netflix movie, Rebel Moon. Scheduled to be a multi-part saga, the film promises a stellar cast, an engaging plot, and groundbreaking inclusivity by introducing a nonbinary character, Milius, portrayed by the talented E. Duffy.

Netflix

Plot Overview: A Child of Fire

The narrative unfolds on a moon nestled in the outermost corners of the cosmos, where Kora (Sofia Boutella), a mysterious stranger with an enigmatic past, crash-lands and embarks on a new life among a peaceful community of farmers. However, tranquility is short-lived as the tyrannical Regent Balisarius (Fra Fee) and his ruthless emissary, Admiral Noble (Ed Skrein), reveal that the farmers have inadvertently sold their crops to the Bloodaxes (Cleopatra Coleman and Ray Fisher). The Bloodaxes, leaders of a formidable group of insurgents hunted by the Motherworld, now pose a grave threat to the settlers of Veldt.

Kora, thrust into the role of the settlers’ only hope, teams up with Gunnar (Michiel Huisman), a tender-hearted farmer unfamiliar with the harsh realities of war. Together, they embark on a quest across diverse worlds to assemble a band of warriors willing to risk their lives to defend Veldt. Along the way, they recruit a motley crew with a shared need for redemption: Kai (Charlie Hunnam), a pilot and gun-for-hire; General Titus (Djimon Hounsou), a legendary commander; Nemesis (Doona Bae), a master swordswoman; Tarak (Staz Nair), a captive with a regal past; and Milius (E. Duffy), a courageous resistance fighter.

Netflix

As the revolutionaries strive to form an unbreakable alliance, back on Veldt, Jimmy (voiced by Anthony Hopkins), an ancient mechanized protector, awakens with a renewed sense of purpose. The newly formed band of rebels must learn to trust one another and unite as a formidable force before the armies of the Motherworld descend upon them, threatening to obliterate everything in their path.

Star-Studded Cast: A Galaxy of Talent

Zack Snyder has assembled a stellar cast to bring the characters of Rebel Moon to life. Sofia Boutella, known for her dynamic performances in films like Kingsman: The Secret Service and Atomic Blonde, takes on the role of Kora, the central figure in this cosmic tale. Fra Fee (Hawkeye) and Ed Skrein (Deadpool) lend their formidable talents as the antagonists, Regent Balisarius and Admiral Noble, respectively.

The ensemble further includes Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy) as the roguish pilot Kai, Djimon Hounsou as the legendary General Titus, Doona Bae as the skilled swordswoman Nemesis, Staz Nair as the regally burdened Tarak, and E. Duffy as the courageous Milius. Additionally, the legendary Anthony Hopkins lends his distinctive voice to the ancient mechanized protector, Jimmy.

Netflix

Why Rebel Moon is NOT a Star Wars Film

In 2012, director Zack Snyder initially proposed his ambitious two-part sci-fi film Rebel Moon to Kathleen Kennedy, the head of Lucasfilm, envisioning it as a potential Star Wars trilogy. Reflecting on the breakdown in negotiations, Snyder remarked, “In the end, it would have been a cage I was living in. So in the end it allowed me to be a lot more freaky.”

Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire will be released on Netflix on December 22.

Ethan Hawke Almost Declined ‘Leave the World Behind’ Because of This Scene


In the riveting thriller Leave the World Behind, an ensemble cast – led by Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke, and Myha’la – deliver a powerful exploration of a family’s struggle for survival in the face of a rapidly escalating cyberattack.

The Sam Esmail (Mr. Robot) directed film unfolds as Amanda (Roberts) and Clay (Hawke) embark on a weekend retreat with their children. However, their idyllic vacation is shattered when G.H. (Ali) and his daughter Ruth (Myha’la) seek refuge in their rented home, claiming it as a sanctuary from the encroaching chaos.

As things get chaotic, the movie isn’t just about suspense—it really dives into the nitty-gritty of humanity and identity. No one’s painted as a flawless hero, inviting you to ponder your own values and reactions in this topsy-turvy world.

In a recent chat with Gayety, the cast dishes on the film’s depth. Myha’la breaks it down, discussing how themes like racism and classism naturally come to the surface, reflecting the real-world pressures on the diverse characters.

“What I respect and was drawn to the most about this project is that it’s not like being like, we’re talking about racism now. Now we’re talking about class,” she explained. “All of those things exist because we’re human beings and we are talking and moving around into space together. And I like that this just, it peels back the curtains so that the audience can watch a situation and then they go home and have the discussion. You know what I mean? We’re not telling anyone how to feel about these instances. We are just letting them exist. And I think the best art does that.”

Ethan Hawke Talks Uncomfortable Scenes

Hawke, embodying the character of Clay, a father grappling with challenges, sheds light on the uncomfortable parallels between his character and real-life family experiences. “Well, it was really uncomfortable for me because there’s so much of Clay that I relate to, and there’s so much about him that I don’t like,” he said.

“It’s hard when you’re playing a character that slightly turns up the volume on aspects of yourself that you’re not proud of and a priority on being affable. There’s a time in life for a spine, and it’s some key pivotal moments. Clay does not have one.”

NETFLIX

Spoiler Alert: In one scene, Clay must decide whether or not to help a distraught woman he sees on the street. “I find it a really powerful scene in the movie, almost so much so that I didn’t want to play it.”

When Clay decides not to help her, it prompts audiences to wonder about the kind of person he truly is.

“He does the wrong thing because he is afraid and he wants to be safe. And that’s why a lot of bad things in this life happen because people don’t put themselves at risk at all to help their brothers and sisters. And so the scene is actually a really dangerous scene in the best sense of that word, because like you said, it doesn’t talk about racism or classism or whatever. It’s just the subconscious is very loud and it’s penetrating and it forces you to look at it.

“Lots of people leave people by the side of the road every day, and they do it because they’re scared of what it will cost them. And this is an exaggerated scene of it, and I hate it. And it was very difficult to play.”

Leave the World Behind is now streaming on Netflix.

Andrew Scott Credits Acting to Helping Him Come Out: “Some part of me felt… free”

Andrew Scott said the strong queer community within the acting world helped him feel comfortable in his own skin.

The actor, known for his role as the priest in Phoebe Waller Bridge’s Fleabag, is opening up about living authentically in a new interview with The New York Times. It all started out as classes to help Scott with a “really bad lisp.” Soon, he was taking speech and drama classes.

“I was so shy and terrified, but then someone would say, ‘Get up and do an improvisation,’ and some part of me felt… free.”

Scott embraced queer roles before publicly coming out. Today, he breathes life into his on-screen personas – such as Adam in All of Us Strangers – and lives his truth authentically.

“I’m happy to be able to say that to be emancipated from shame has been genuinely the biggest achievement of my life,” he said.

“For a long time, I have felt very comfortable with myself, but it doesn’t take much to go back there —-something a taxi driver can say can still wound you. If he might say, ‘You’ve got a wife?’ You could go, ‘No, I don’t,’ or is that sort of a lie by omission?”

Scott Talks AOUS and Paul Mescal

Searchlight Pictures (Screengrab)

The 47-year-old actor plays Adam, a lonely screenwriter who has a chance encounter with his handsome neighbor Harry (Paul Mescal). But when Adam starts visiting his old childhood home, he has a unique second chance to open up to his parents who passed three decades ago.

“To make something like [All of Us Strangers], it moves me, because I never thought that I’d get a chance to expose myself so much in a film like this or for it to be in such a trusting environment with such brilliant colleagues,” Scott said.

Scott and Mescal’s on and off-screen chemistry has made headlines, such as shared birthday celebrations in bars. Yet, Scott anticipates audiences uncovering a more profound connection between their characters in the film.

“People have talked an awful lot about the chemistry and the sex between our characters, but actually what I think is really radical and affecting about the relationship is how affectionate and tender they are with each other.

“It’s such a beautiful thing to play, isn’t it? Just real care.”

In an interview, Mescal emphasized the challenge of translating this profound connection onto screens.“ I find it healing to watch that kind of emotional intimacy. I remember being surprised when we watched it for the first time, because I didn’t remember being so close to your face when we were talking, how we were totally taking each other in. 

“There’s a weird thing that I don’t think you can cheat: You know how when somebody you love is talking to you, and you look at their lips? It’s like, Jesus, I can’t remember doing that.”

All of Us Strangers will premiere in theaters on December 22.

SO FETCH – ‘Mean Girls’ Character Posters Take Pink to New Heights

Paramount Pictures unveils fresh character posters for the upcoming Mean Girls musical, declaring pink as the official color of the season—once again!

Can too much pink even exist?

It’s been almost twenty years since the first Mean Girls film, starring Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Lacey Chabert, and Amanda Seyfried, charmed audiences. Since its debut, this cinematic gem has evolved into a cherished cult classic, filled with memorable catchphrases and even commemorated with its own dedicated national day.

After the triumph of the 2004 movie, the narrative underwent a transformation into a successful Broadway musical in 2018. Paramount Pictures is now bringing Mean Girls back to the screen once again, this time in a movie adaptation of the acclaimed musical.

Check out the character posters below!

Mean Girls follows the story of Cady Heron, a teenager who moves to a suburban high school after being homeschooled in Africa. As she navigates the complex social hierarchy, she becomes entangled with a popular clique known as the Plastics, led by Regina George. Cady goes undercover to infiltrate the group but ends up getting caught in a web of jealousy, betrayal, and high school drama. The movie humorously explores the challenges of fitting in, teenage rivalry, and the consequences of trying to conform to societal expectations. Ultimately, it conveys a message about the importance of staying true to oneself and the damaging effects of toxic social dynamics.

We are excited to see this musical brought to theaters, especially by this “too gay to function” cast. Busy Phillips, Jenna Fischer, Ashley Park and Jo Hamm will also star.

Mean Girls will hit theaters on January 12.

First Look at Dan Levy’s Gay Dramedy ‘Good Grief’

Schitt’s Creek Dan Levy is gearing up to make his feature film directorial debut with Good Grief.

Despite shedding its rom-com label, Dan Levy’s upcoming project is already tugging at our heartstrings. In an exclusive with Entertainment Weekly, Levy said he first thought of the project as a romantic comedy, but the direction has shifted. “I see the movie as a drama or a dramedy,” he told the outlet.

In Good Grief, Levy takes on the role of Marc, a former painter turned children’s book illustrator. He lives in London with his husband Oliver (Luke Evans), a successful author whose novels have spawned a globally renowned movie franchise. However, everything changes when Oliver unexpectedly dies during their annual Christmas celebration.

Finding Family

As the title suggests, Levy said grief was a large theme for the movie.

“I lost my grandmother toward the tail end of the pandemic, and I was in a very strange headspace in terms of feeling the weight and the profound sense of tragedy of what the COVID pandemic had done for all of us, while at the same time trying to honor the passing of someone who meant so much to me,” he continued. “It was hard for me to feel the specificity of loss when all I was feeling was grief for so long. It was that conversation that really expedited the concept of the movie.”

But as Marc grapples with the tragedy, profound revelations surface, prompting him to embark on a transformative journey with his two closest friends – the vivacious Sophie (portrayed by Ruth Negga) and the reserved Thomas (played by Himesh Patel) – as they travel to Paris.

“Having written 80 episodes about an actual family, I felt compelled to tell a story about found family and the importance of it,” he said.

“I feel like the older we get, the more profound our relationships are with our friends and the more complicated they get. Sometimes the people that are closest to us, we excuse the most in terms of having those hard conversations about life and bad habits and patterns of behavior that could be slightly course corrected. It’s an uncomfortable conversation to have, and yet that intimacy exists within these friendships.”

Good Grief premieres on Netflix on January 5.

Fellow Travelers, Series Finale

Created by Oscar nominee Ron Nyswaner (Philadelphia, Homeland), based on the novel by Thomas Mallon, Fellow Travelers is an epic love story and political thriller, chronicling the volatile romance of two very different men who meet in McCarthy-era Washington. Matt Bomer plays handsome, charismatic Hawkins Fuller, who maintains a financially rewarding, behind-the scenes career in politics. Hawkins avoids emotional entanglements – until he meets Tim Laughlin (Jonathan Bailey), a young man brimming with idealism and religious faith. They begin a romance just as Joseph McCarthy and Roy Cohn declare war on “subversives and sexual deviants,” initiating one of the darkest periods in 20th-century American history.

Over the course of four decades, we follow our five main characters — Hawk, Tim, Marcus (Jelani Alladin), Lucy (Allison Williams), and Frankie (Noah J.

Billie Eilish Claps Back at Reporter For ‘Outing Her’ on the Red Carpet

Billie Eilish’s sexuality has been making headlines, and the singer has had enough.

While on the red carpet of Variety’s Hitmaker event, Billie Eilish stopped to chat with one of the reporters about her upcoming album and her previous interview with the outlet.

Last month, the 21-year-old singer was part of Variety‘s ‘The Power of Women’ issue. She told the outlet that she is physically attracted to women but has always been intimidated by them. Many took this statement as Eilish coming out.

“Did you mean to come out?” the interviewer asked on Saturday morning.

“No I did not,” she replied. “But I kind of thought: ‘wasn’t it obvious?'”

Eilish and the interviewer agreed that we need to get to a place where no one feels the need to come out. “I just don’t really believe in it. I’m just like, why can’t we just exist? I’ve been doing this for a long time and I just didn’t talk about it. Whoops.”

Eilish was all smiles on the carpet, but after reflection, she spoke out about the interaction online.

“Thanks Variety for my award and for also outing me on a red carpet at 11 am instead of talking about anything else that matters. I like boys and girls. Leave me alone about it, please. Literally who cares. Stream ‘What Was I Made For.’”

Eilish Says She is Attracted to Women

From playfully employing a filter proclaiming “gay and tired” to openly discussing her celebrity crushes, Eilish has consistently expressed her attraction to women without feeling the need to confine herself to any specific labels. But if there was any doubt, the “bad guy” singer affirmed her stance in an interview with Variety.

“I’ve never really felt like I could relate to girls very well,” she said. “I love them so much. I love them as people. I’m attracted to them as people. I’m attracted to them for real.

She added, “I’m physically attracted to them. But I’m also so intimidated by them and their beauty and their presence.”

Eilish has faced scrutiny for her appearance and her sexuality since we first heard her sing “Ocean Eyes” in 2015.

“I have never felt like a woman, to be honest with you. I’ve never felt desirable. I’ve never felt feminine,” she told the outlet. “I have to convince myself that I’m, like, a pretty girl.”

The interview continues with the “What Was I Made For?” singer speaking on her choice to wear baggy clothes at the beginning of her career and how it had nothing to do with being sexualized. Eilish kicked off her career at 16 and she’s only 21 now. It’s eye-opening to witness how demanding the industry can be, especially for young artists.

Eilish has also spoken about her desire to keep her personal life private. In 2021, she told Elle, “Like, oh yeah, that’s everyone else’s business, right? No. Where’s that energy with men?

“I just wanted to make a song once, and then I kept making songs. I never said: ‘Hey, pay attention to my life.’”
