Celebrity News of the Week: Farewell Your Majesty!

The Queen’s death, a “vengeful war” between Hollywood’s one-time dream couple and a boxer who can’t afford the nursing home: these were the news that most moved readers this week.

When autumn sets in after the end of summer, the transition is often associated with a certain melancholic blues. The first leaves are falling from the trees, the days are getting darker and that means a bit of celebrity news for this week.

In times like these, many are united by the desire to get closer together again. The whole world is watching England these days. Despite her impressive 96 years, it seemed almost impossible that Queen Elizabeth II could ever die. Because she felt like she was always there! Because whole generations grew up with it. And because she smiled so bravely so often, even after the death of her husband Prince Philip, who died in April 2021 at almost a hundred years old.

On September 6, the little great monarch received Britain’s new Prime Minister, Liz Truss, for the traditional “Kissing Hands” ceremony. The Queen may have needed a cane and her delicate hands were covered in a big bruise, but there was that smile that still surpassed her fragility and any health problems.

Shortly afterwards, the Queen of England is dead and not just an entire country – the whole world is in shock. You don’t have to be a fan of the monarchy, but the Queen has been through turbulent times, and there have been many, a constant for millions of people.

The hashtag #QueenElizabeth was quickly trending on Twitter, where people unleash their grief, but sadly also crack totally irreverent jokes. After 70 years on the throne, her eldest son, once Prince Charles, is now King of England. In June, all of England stood on their feet to celebrate the monarch’s jubilee. How lonely the queen must have been after the death of her husband, to whom she had been married since 1952: one can only guess. England will be different after September 8, 2022.

Concerns over Justin Bieber and a ‘vengeful war’

Headlines surrounding Justin Bieber were also a cause for concern this week. The 28-year-old singer has canceled his world tour. The concerts in Europe demanded so much from him that he was completely exhausted: “After coming off the stage I was exhausted and I realized that at this moment I have to make my health a priority”. Only recently it became known that the pop star suffers from Ramsay Hunt syndrome – a rare nerve disease that leads to paralysis of the face.

The peace between this ex-couple probably won’t be for a long time. The mud fight between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt is getting worse. It is no longer just about the custody of the children, but also about the joint winery Château Miraval in the south of France and – a lot of money. It was announced this week that the actress and mother of six has sued her ex-husband for a whopping $250 million in damages.

The 47-year-old speaks of a “vengeful war” that Pitt should wage against her. There have been years of campaigning against them, of control and “malicious actions”. The child custody disputes alone dragged on for years. Some of them are now of age and out of the house.

Her social media presence has long been a series of old photos showing her before surgery. Evangelista would not have left the house for five years. Now she’s back. But not everyone likes the way she’s celebrating her comeback. For the recordings, her face would have been pulled back with tape and rubber bands. While some say that women should be able to show themselves as they really look, others say that fashion photos should inspire dreams.

And then this week there was also news about the living conditions of former boxer René Weller. The 68-year-old has long been known to have dementia. In the meantime, he would need care, his wife Maria announced. But a nursing home is not in it, because the couple cannot afford the costs of 4,000 euros. This shows that when it comes to celebrity wealth, people often get the wrong idea.

Weller doesn’t even get a pension of 300 euros. The two have some reservations. But Maria Weller has long been plagued by the fear of “soon to be bitterly poor.” A concern shared by many people in this country. Until next week! Hug your loved ones!
