Celebrity roundup: Stevie Wonder in eviction case, Prince William debuts on Graham Norton's show
Singer Stevie Wonder has gone to court seeking to remove a woman who lived rent-free in his property for nearly 40 years. Separately, Neil Young is demanding $10 million from the US president over the use of his song.
Several stories from the world of foreign celebrities have emerged recently, as summarised in a weekend roundup by the Latvian newspaper Diena.
Housing dispute in court
American singer Stevie Wonder has asked a court for permission to remove a woman from his property, where she has lived rent-free for almost 40 years. She is his former partner, Carmen Efferson. The complaint says the two had an oral agreement allowing her to live there, but a conflict erupted this summer, after which Efferson did not allow insurance inspectors into the house for a check.
Neil Young seeks $10 million
Canadian rock musician Neil Young is suing the US president for $10 million. After repeated objections over the use of his song "Rockin' in the Free World" for Donald Trump's purposes were ignored, the musician decided to take the matter to court.
Prince William on a talk show
Prince William, the Prince of Wales, appeared for the first time on Graham Norton's talk show. His appearance was tied to The Earthshot Prize, an international environmental award. Other people involved in the project also took part: actresses Cate Blanchett and Hannah Waddingham, and conservationist Robert Irwin. Besides environmental protection, the prince spoke about his love of music and film.
A new couple?
Foreign media have circulated reports about a relationship between American football player Tom Brady and model Kendall Swanepoel. Brady was married for many years to supermodel Gisele Bündchen; their marriage, which produced two children, ended in 2022. Since then, media have linked him with model Irina Shayk, Kim Kardashian and social media personality Alix Earle.
Advice for young actresses
Actress Nicole Kidman told Vogue Australia what she advises her daughters, who are starting their professional careers: be grateful, polite and punctual, work harder than everyone else and never assume anything is owed to you. She stressed that nervousness is a good sign, as it means a person cares.
