Real Housewives of New York City star Bethenny Frankel has opened up about the sudden passing of her boyfriend Dennis Shields, and how she is coping with the loss.

Dennis, a banker, 51, died this month from a reported overdose.


“It’s hard to breathe & I appreciate you giving me the space & support to try to do so. It’s excruciating-sudden death is no closure & constant & memories. Our relationship is current so it’s painfully raw. Trying to stay healthy & move through it w tears & close friends. Xo (sic), ’’ Bethenny, 47, wrote on Twitter on Sunday.

A source later told a website, “She (Bethenny) is devastated. She loved him. He was her family and (her eight-year-old daughter) Bryn’s family. Bryn loved him. Dennis was Bethenny’s partner, her family, her business partner and her best friend.”

Director Danny Boyle quit the James Bond franchise after he “refused to kill off Bond in a finale to the 25th film”. According to sources, Craig, who is said to be filming his final 007 movie, and producer Barbara Broccoli, are believed to have wanted the Bond to die in a “spectacular finale”. But Oscarwinner Boyle refused to kill off the secret agent, labelling the idea “ridiculous”, reports an online portal. A source said, “There were discussions about killing off Bond in a dramatic fashion at the end. It would be a final hurrah for Daniel, and leave fans hanging. It would also leave it open for a twist in the next installment – either Bond hadn’t died or there could be a Doctor Who-esque regeneration with a new actor. There were clashes over budget and there’s pandemonium among crew with people leaving the production left, right and centre. There are fears that the film will be put back for months and backroom staff is worried about where their next pay cheque is going to come from.” It was announced last week that Boyle had quit over “creative differences”.

I want to work with great scripts, it doesn’t matter whether it's in Hindi or Marathi: Ajay Devgn
Bollywood stars have expanded their horizons and with evolving roles into film production, Hindi cinema’s biggest stars are now making an impact in regional cinema too. Ajay Devgn, who’s produced acclaimed Marathi movies like Vitti Dandu (2014) and Aapla Manus (2018), doesn’t mind being cast in regional films too. He says, “I love cinema, so if there is a great script, I want to do it, it doesn’t matter whether it is Hindi or Marathi.”

He feels Marathi cinema is doing well by telling local tales and not just blindly being influenced by the West. He adds, “Since I have recently backed the Marathi film Taanaji, I can say that the Maharashtrian culture is still very intact in their cinema. They are not trying to follow any trend. They have held on to their culture and literature and that reflects in their cinema. What are we largely doing in Bollywood? We are trying to follow the West. We are forgetting our own literature and stories; instead we are chasing trends from other countries. People in the West tell all kind of stories, but they also preserve their culture. That’s why they manage to tell such beautiful stories. I wish we do that in our cinema too.”

Singer Taylor Swift and her former BFF model Karlie Kloss enjoyed a mini-reunion at Taylor’s Reputation concert in Nashville on Saturday.

“No one puts on a show like Taylor Swift. #ReputationTour Nashville was out of this world, I am SO proud of you,” Karlie posted on Instagram, along with their pic together. Taylor and Karlie were believed to have had a falling out, since they haven’t been seen together since last year. 

Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse have broken up. The Remember Me actor and the 26-yearold model and actress were romantically linked last month, but now it’s been revealed their brief relationship has already come to an end after just a few weeks, a newspaper reports.

He likes to have fun when he takes breaks in between filming. Suki and him have a great time together. He isn’t looking for anything serious right now. but they are definitely into each other.”

Sweetener star Ariana Grande has described how Pete Davidson proposed to her in a new interview. “It was just really simple and really sweet,” she said, adding, “We were just like hanging out and he had a ring and he just asked me. It was really sweet. He didn’t get on a knee or anything, thank God... Oh my God! That would have been so googly.”

She added that she didn’t think she would ever get married.


“I’m not, like, a very traditional person, so the fact that I’m even getting married is something I never even saw coming. I never saw that coming, like, I never wanted that, like, I was, ‘F**k that, there’s no point.’ I was like, ‘What’s the point?’ And then I kinda understood it when it was with the right person.”
