Rupert Everett Claims He Was Fired by 'Emily in Paris' After Season 4

Rupert Everett claims that he was “fired” from Emily in Paris . Everett, 66, made his debut as Italian fashion designer Giorgio Barbieri in season 4 of the hit Netflix series, but the actor claimed to Vanity Fair in an interview published on Tuesday, July 29, that he won’t be returning to the show. “I was fired,” Everett alleged to the outlet, adding, “I did a scene in the latest season, and they told me, ‘Next year we’ll speak.’ I waited for them to call me — but ultimately, it never came, and they just fired me.” He added, “Show business is always very difficult, from the beginning to the end. When they write the screenplay, they think they want you — but then things change, and they lose your character. I don’t know why. For me, it was a tragedy. I was in bed for two weeks because I couldn’t get over it.” 'Emily in Paris' Cast Bid Adieu to Camille Razat After Her Shocking Exit Us Weekly has reached out to Netflix for comment.  Meanwhile, a “source close to the pr...

Doja Cat has joined in on the uproar surrounding Sydney Sweeney ’s controversial American Eagle advert. READ MORE: Doja Cat live in Glasgow: pyros and poise from one of rap’s most interesting protagonists The Euphoria star divided opinions when she starred in a new ad campaign for American Eagle , which repeatedly uses the slogan, “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans”. Many have been quick to criticise the “jeans” and “genes” homophone, and suggest that pairing the actor – who has blue eyes and blonde hair – with the tagline makes it feel like it has racist undertones and is reminiscent of dog-whistling eugenics. Now, Doja Cat has joined in on the backlash to the ad, posting a video on TikTok that sees her mimicking what Sweeney says in one of the ads. In an over-the-top Southern drawl, Doja repeats the line from the advert: “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair colour, personality, and even eye colour. My jeans are blue.” That video...
