The Hollywood couple celebrated 35 years of wedded bliss on April 30.
To mark the occasion, Wilson shared a photo on social media of Hanks presenting her with a cake.
“35 years of marriage. April 30, 1988. Love is everything,” she wrote.
The couple first met in 1981 while on the set of Bosom Buddies. Their relationship began as friends as Hanks was married to Samantha Lewes, his college sweetheart, at the time.
“I will say that right from the get-go, I thought there was something crazy great about her. I met her and I thought ‘Oh Lord’… there’s something cookin’ here,” the 66-year-old actor told “Sooo Many White Guys” podcast.
After two years of dating Hanks and Wilson married in 1988. The couple have two children together, Chester “Chet” Hanks and Truman Theodore Hanks.
According to Hanks and Wilson there is no secret for everlasting love.
“I wish there was a secret, you know. We just like each other. You start there… I still can’t believe my wife goes out with me. If we were in high school and I was just funny, I’d never have the courage to talk to her…” Hanks told People in 2018.
“They say it must be hard work. No, it’s not. Every now and again you know, you gotta get over some stuff but life is one damn thing after another and it’s actually more pleasant to be able to go home with someone you like to spend time with in order to get with it.”
Congratulations to Tom and Rita! Thirty-five years is a major milestone, especially in Hollywood.
The Italian film icon suffered several injuries, including a serious fracture to her femur
Sophia Loren has undergone emergency surgery after sustaining several fractures in a bad fall.
The Italian film star, 89, fell in her bathroom and suffered multiple fractures to her hip, as well as a serious fracture to her femur, which required surgery.
A source close to Loren told The Hollywood Reporter that there is “cautious optimism” about the outcome of the operation and Loren’s recovery, which will reportedly include a brief period of convalescence and a long rehabilitation.
Loren had been scheduled to open a restaurant in the Italian city of Bari on Tuesday (26 September). The restaurant – the fourth such eatery to bear her name – was the one to break the news of her fall, confirming that all her engagements for the foreseeable future have now been cancelled.
In addition to the restaurant opening in Bari, the Arabesque (1966) star had been due to receive honorary citizenship from the southern Italian city.
Loren recently made a public appearance at the Armani fashion show in Venice on 2 September, which was held during the 80th Venice Film Festival.
Sources told the publication that the actor’s sons, Carlo, 54, and Edoardo, 50, are by her side at the hospital.
The Independent has contacted a representative of Loren for comment.

In 2020, Edoardo, a filmmaker, directed his mother in her most recent movie, titled The Life Ahead.
The film, which won Loren a David di Donatello Award for best actress, followed the story of an ageing Holocaust survivor who forges an unlikely bond with a bitter street kid from Senegal when she takes him in after he robs her.
“She was strong, she was fragile, she was funny, touching… everything that a woman is and everything I have always wanted to bring on the screen. In my career, I’ve always tried to play women with a strong character,” she said.
The year prior, Loren was the subject of a Netflix document What Would Sophia Loren Do?

Loren is best known for films including A Special Day (1977), Marriage, Italian Style (1964), and Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow (1963).
Her role as Filumena in Marriage, Italian Style – who tries to trick her philandering lover into marriage so that her three children, born out of wedlock, might have a family name – earned her a second Oscar nomination.
In 1961, she became the first performer to win an Oscar for a foreign-language role with Two Women, in which she starred as a mother who saves her daughter.

The Spring 2024 exhibit required esteemed attendees to dress according to the theme: “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” Kidman and her rockstar husband, Keith Urban interpreted the theme with black and white ensembles that complemented each other.

Kidman opted for a beautiful white gown that had black chiffon-like material making up the bottom half of the dress, creating a protruding ruffle effect. The back of the dress revealed a long white train that was connected to her fitted sleeveless bodice piece.

She paired her glamorous look with arm-length white gloves, and a silver diamond bracelet, and left her blonde locks loose. Urban, on the other hand, donned a chic black suit that had a black rose pinned on one side, a white dress shirt underneath, and a white bow tie. He completed his look with black dress shoes.

Like Urban, Damon, who was accompanied by his wife, Luciana Barroso, also chose to rock a snazzy black suit. He had on a white dress shirt, a black bow tie, and gleaming black formal shoes.

Barroso stunned in a simple yet elegant white dress that draped down to the floor. Her gown, like Kidman’s, was also sleeveless and fit with stripe details by the bosom area. Though the dress was strapless, it was fastened together by a neckpiece that clasped to the back of the gown.

She complimented her ensemble with silver bangles and dangling earrings while her lusciously thick dark locks fell in loose curls down her back. Pictures of Barroso and Damon, and Kidman and Urban sparked a flurry of comments online.

When it came to what people had to say about Urban and the “Australia” star’s coordinating looks, they did not hold back. “Why are they always holding hands […] like teenagers[?] Always looks staged….Ps: he always looks like the valet driver with the haircut! Maybe that’s what he is? By the way, the theme was ‘garden,’ [they] obviously didn’t get the [memo],” criticized someone.

Another social media user wrote, “I wish Keith would wash his hair once in awhile! I mean Nicole looks awesome…maybe for her special night at least..?” Similarly, another noted, “This dude needs to do something with this stringy greasy hair.”

“He needs a good barber,” continued someone else, and in response, another user called Urban’s appearance “such a dated look.”
Kidman posted a picture of the duo intertwined with one another to her Instagram feed, which gave the illusion that Urban was wearing a dress. Referencing this picture, an Instagrammer pondered, “Is Mr. Kidman in a dress-tux situation or am I seeing an optical illusion??”
Similarly, another commented, “Please don’t tell me Keith is wearing a dress.” However, among the vitriol were some fans who praised the couple. “On my personal best dressed list,” complimented a fan, while another gushed, “Most Beautiful Couple! 🔥😍👏.”

Much like how fashion critics were unafraid to express their opinions on Urban and Kidman’s looks, many did the same when it came to Damon and Barroso. “Anna should ban him from the Met Gala for wearing that 🤡🤮,” stated an Instagrammer.

Continuing to speak on the event’s dress code and how the couple chose to incorporate it into their outfits, another social media user expressed, “There needs to be a rule about not letting people in who aren’t incorporating the theme.”

“You have this much money and you wore this? 😡” questioned another unimpressed Instagrammer. Remarking on the minimalistic nature of Barroso and Damon’s looks, another person said, “Great… a little too simple for the MET… 🤷♀️.” “How boring,” remarked another.

However, in contrast to the aforementioned comments, others complimented Damon and his wife. “I love this couple. They always look happy together,” swooned a fan. Another admirer praised, “Love the minimalism omg. I wanna see more like this 😘.”

Much like how Nicole Kidman, Urban, Damon, and Barosso garnered varying reactions from spectators, Jennifer Lopez sparked a flurry of strong opinions from social media users concerning her Met Gala ensemble.
Attending as one of the co-chairs of the Spring 2024 exhibit, the 54-year-old was a show-stopper while posing for pictures at the event. Lopez wore a gorgeous, slightly sheer couture gown designed by the iconic fashion house of Schiaparelli, which was adorned with crystal embellishments and showcased her curvy figure.

She complemented her ensemble with pristine silver jewels including dangling earrings, rings, and an extravagant diamond necklace. With the beautiful dress as her look’s main focal point, Lopez opted for neutral makeup.

Lopez used a combination of brown, pink, and caramel tones, and cheekbone bronzer with glossy lips. Complementing the look, she fashioned her hair into a top knot bun, leaving only a few wisps of hair loose to frame her face. The “Can’t Get Enough” artist’s appearance garnered a lot of attention from the public.
“The hair and makeup is terrible! She looks tired,” wrote an unimpressed social media user. In response to this comment, another person said, “It looks like she tossed up a messy bun after a day at the beach.”

Similarly, someone on Facebook commented, “Love the dress but this looks like my everyday mom bun 😂.” Continuing to criticize her hair and makeup, another user expressed, “That highlighter on the inner eyes is only highlighting the wrinkles under her eyes! First time I’ve ever noticed them. She has great makeup artists so????”

“Lookin like Jenny did her own hair and makeup […] too old for see thru,” reprimanded a social media user. “What’s going on with the hair? Love everything else,” pondered another person.

Commenting on her dress, someone else chastised, “She’s beautiful but dress decent it’s getting old and so is she, wonder what her kids will think when [they are] older.” Referring to Lopez’s overall look, another simply noted, “No class,” while someone else stated, “That neck don’t lie.”
Although many criticized Lopez’s appearance, what may not be appreciated is the amount of work that went into its conception. According to fashion designer Mariel Haenn, the star’s gown “took over 800 hours of work” to make.
Designed by using four enlarged butterfly wings to make up the dress’ entire surface area, in addition to using “2,500,000 silver foil bugle beads,” the inspiration behind the dress was the butterfly.

In Detroit’s east side, Eminem, born Marshall Bruce Mathers III, found his refuge in music amidst the chaos of urban poverty. Surrounded by the stark realities of a divided community, he embraced the very sounds born from this strife, turning his experiences into powerful lyrics.

Growing up with a single mother in predominantly black neighborhoods, Eminem faced significant challenges from an early age. The public figure reflected on his upbringing in an April 1999 interview alongside his mom Debbie Mathers.

Eminem and Debbie moved quite often between Missouri and Michigan. They rarely stayed in one house for a year or two and only settled when the future rap star was 11 years old.

Eminem and his mother, including his half-younger brother, Nathan Samara, were one of three white families in their neighborhood. Debbie mentioned that this was not an issue as she is colorblind. However, the younger kids in their block greatly bothered her now-famous son.

By his teenage years, Eminem had witnessed and endured intense racial hostility and violence. “Marshall got jumped a lot,” said Debbie of her child then 16. Eminem, who also has another brother named Michael Mathers, recalled an incident from back then.

“I was walking home from my boy’s house, through the Bel-Air Shopping Center. All these black dudes rode by in a car, flipping me off. I flipped them off back, they drove away, and I didn’t think nothing of it,” he recounted.
They parked the car and one of them approached him and punched him in the face, knocking him down. The perpetrator then pulled out a gun on him and he fled, leaving his shoes behind.

Eminem stated he believed they wanted his shoes, but they did not. As he returned the next day, he found them in the mud. “That’s how I knew it was racial,” he explained.
The “Mockingbird” hitmaker and his mother lived with family members for several years before settling in Detroit. This occurred after his parents’ marriage fell apart and the father moved to California.
Aside from enduring violence in the streets and constantly uprooting, Eminem also struggled at school. He dropped out of high school after failing the ninth grade three times. Debbie estimated that before dropping out, her son attended 30 schools.

Living in a single-parent household, she suggested he start looking for a job when he turned 15 to help pay the bills. According to the star, Debbie gave him an ultimatum; to either help bring in an income or leave the house.
Eminem revealed that despite landing a job, his mother would still kick him out each time after taking most of his paycheck. But Debbie presented a conflicting version, claiming, “He was always well provided for.”
Notably, the mother-and-son duo’s former home in Detriot burned in 2013. This incident happened days after a woman named, Shelly Hazlett, 28, reportedly offered to purchase it.

According to reports, Hazlett, an avid fan of Eminem, wanted to turn the two-story bungalow into a museum dedicated to the award-winning star. Unfortunately, the fire caused damage to the top floor of the home.

The vacant abode had been up for auction through the Michigan Land Bank for months before the fire. It had a minimum bid of $1 million at the time.

The home that the Mathers family once lived in no longer stands to date. The State of Michigan demolished the property at 19946 Dresden on Detroit’s east side in November 2016.

Eminem’s narrative is punctuated by personal trials, from brutal encounters that could have ended fatally to a childhood disrupted by constant mobility and family disputes.
Such encounters were not isolated, but rather part of a pattern of hostility that shaped his perspective and lyrical themes. Eminem’s ability to survive and reflect on these experiences contributed to the authentic, gritty realism that characterizes his music.

In a July 2000 interview, the world-famous star commented on his childhood, saying, “Whenever something good happens, the bad always follows. That’s the story of my life since the day I was born.”
Eminem has since rose to worldwide fame. His breakthrough came on the MTV debut with the 1999 release of “My Name Is” It captured the nation’s attention not only because of his unique voice in rap but also due to the stark authenticity and rawness he brought to the genre.

His debut album, “The Slim Shady LP,” quickly earned critical acclaim, setting the stage for a career that would see him become one of the most influential figures in hip-hop.
Eminem’s influence extended beyond music; the term “stan,” popularized by his song of the same name, was added to the Oxford English Dictionary. The word “stan” is defined as an overzealous or obsessive fan of a particular celebrity.

Despite the turbulence that marked his rise to fame, Eminem has accumulated prestigious awards. Known as one of the best-selling artists, his accolades include multiple Grammys, Billboard Music Awards, and an Academy Award.

Additionally, the “Not Afraid” hitmaker has also built considerable wealth through shrewd real estate investments. These properties not only reflect his financial success but also a life far removed from his modest beginnings.
Eminem’s foray into the luxury real estate market began in 2003 when he purchased a mansion in Rochester Hills, Michigan, for $4.75 million. This estate is an expansive 17,500-square-foot property set on a lush 5.7 acres.

The property grounds feature a front terrace and a stone front face at the entrance. On the inside, the abode features a spacious kitchen which has more cabinet space and a breakfast nook beside several windows. There is wood paneling and wood ceiling in the room.
The dining room has wood floors, wood walls, and a wood ceiling. The five-bedroom house has a bathroom with blue accents. There are floor-to-roof windows. There is also a cabana, a tennis court, a pool, a bucolic pond on the six-acre grounds, and a guest house with several floor-to-roof windows.
The estate boasts various high-end amenities including a guest house, a tennis court, and a private pond. Eminem listed the mansion for sale at $2 million in 2017, a significant drop from his purchase price. The estate eventually sold for $1.9 million, marking a substantial financial loss.
Currently, Eminem resides in Clinton Township, Michigan, where he owns a lavish mansion that he purchased in 2000. Valued at around $1.5 million at the time of purchase, this home has been the center of his life and work.

The mansion sprawls over 8,900 square feet and is nestled in a gated community, emphasizing privacy and exclusivity. The residence features an array of luxurious amenities that cater to both comfort and security.

This property also includes a stunning outdoor area, complete with a pool, a basketball court, and a cabana, making it not just a home but a personal retreat. The architectural style blends modern design with classic touches, creating a timeless elegance.

But her musical career was only the start of her journey and by 1969 she had her own TV variety show “The Leslie Uggams Show”, the first network variety show to be hosted by a black person since “The Nat King Cole Show.”
But behind the scenes she had met and fallen in love with actor Grahame Pratt. After first meeting him at Professional Children’s School of New York, where they were both students, the couple then ran into each other while she was performing in Sydney during one of Leslie’s celebrity tours in Australia.
Leslie knew what the repercussions would be of dating a white man as she’d done so in her teens and her aunt had told her not to entertain the idea of a future with him.
“I remember the shock I got once when I was dating a white boy,” Leslie said in a 1967 interview with Ebony.
“He sent me a color picture of himself. I showed it to my aunt. He was a good looking boy with beautiful hair. I thought he was gorgeous. But my aunt took one look and started in to lecture me. ‘Well he’s alright, I suppose,’ she told me, ‘but only for dates, huh, honey? When you’re thinking of settling down for keeps you’ll make sure you marry a nice [Black] fella, won’t you?’”
After her chance meeting with Grahame Leslie said she kept seeing him.
“I found myself really falling for him, which was quite a thing for me to realize as I was only 21.”
When she left Australia it would be 12 months before she saw him again.
The two had fallen in love, despite Leslie’s reservations over her family’s reaction and what it would mean for the two of them as Grahame would have to move to the U.S. for Leslie’s career. They got engaged for 5 months and Grahame visited her in New York.
“Knowing my family’s ideas about mixed marriages I wanted to know, too, whether they would really accept Grahame and not just tolerate him,” she said.
In the early 1990s, the world fell in love with the adorable Mara Wilson, the child actor known for playing the precocious little girl in family classics like Mrs. Doubtfire and Miracle on 34th Street.
The young star, who turned 37 on July 24, seemed poised for success but as she grew older, she stopped being “cute” and disappeared from the big screen.
“Hollywood was burned out on me,” she says, adding that “if you’re not cute anymore, if you’re not beautiful, then you are worthless.”
In 1993, five-year-old Mara Wilson stole the hearts of millions of fans when she starred as Robin Williams’ youngest child in Mrs. Doubtfire.
The California-born star had previously appeared in commercials when she received the invitation to star in one of the biggest-grossing comedies in Hollywood history.
“My parents were proud, but they kept me grounded. If I ever said something like, ‘I’m the greatest!’ my mother would remind me, ‘You’re just an actor. You’re just a kid,’” Wilson, now 37, said.
After her big screen debut, she won the role of Susan Walker – the same role played by Natalie Wood in 1947 – in 1994’s Miracle on 34th Street.
In an essay for the Guardian, Wilson writes of her audition, “I read my lines for the production team and told them I didn’t believe in Santa Claus.” Referencing the Oscar-winning actor who played her mom in Mrs. Doubtfire, she continues, “but I did believe in the tooth fairy and had named mine after Sally Field.”
‘Most unhappy’
Next, Wilson played the magical girl in 1996’s Matilda, starring alongside Danny DeVito and his real-life wife Rhea Perlman.
It was also the same year her mother, Suzie, lost her battle with breast cancer.
“I didn’t really know who I was…There was who I was before that, and who I was after that. She was like this omnipresent thing in my life,” Wilson says of the deep grief she experienced after losing her mother. She adds, “I found it kind of overwhelming. Most of the time, I just wanted to be a normal kid, especially after my mother died.”
The young girl was exhausted and when she was “very famous,” she says she “was the most unhappy.”
When she was 11, she begrudgingly played her last major role in the 2000 fantasy adventure film Thomas and the Magic Railroad. “The characters were too young. At 11, I had a visceral reaction to [the] script…Ugh, I thought. How cute,” she tells the Guardian.
‘Burned out’
But her exit from Hollywood wasn’t only her decision.
As a young teenager, the roles weren’t coming in for Wilson, who was going through puberty and outgrowing the “cute.”
She was “just another weird, nerdy, loud girl with bad teeth and bad hair, whose bra strap was always showing.”
“At 13, no one had called me cute or mentioned the way I looked in years, at least not in a positive way,” she says.
Wilson was forced to deal with the pressures of fame and the challenges of transitioning to adulthood in the public eye. Her changing image had a profound effect on her.
“I had this Hollywood idea that if you’re not cute anymore, if you’re not beautiful, then you are worthless. Because I directly tied that to the demise of my career. Even though I was sort of burned out on it, and Hollywood was burned out on me, it still doesn’t feel good to be rejected.”
Mara as the writer
Wilson, now a writer, authored her first book “Where Am I Now? True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame,” in 2016.
The book discusses “everything from what she learned about sex on the set of Melrose Place, to discovering in adolescence that she was no longer ‘cute’ enough for Hollywood, these essays chart her journey from accidental fame to relative (but happy) obscurity.”
She also wrote “Good Girls Don’t” a memoir that examines her life as a child actor living up to expectations.
“Being cute just made me miserable,” she writes in her essay for the Guardian. “I had always thought it would be me giving up acting, not the other way around.”
