You're listening to a Mamma Mia podcast.
Good morning, Spillers. My name is Manisha Aswaran. It is Thursday, the 17th of September, and it's time to get into today's biggest celebrity news stories to get you all caught up before you even start your work day. Today, we have everything from breakups to babies, family feuds, royal family drama is what I really mean to say there, and the announcement of some very exciting new shows that I, for one, absolutely can't wait for.
Why did Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski announce their split after nine years?
So let's pour the tea. Okay, we have to start things off with some news that I am very sad about and I think many of you will be as well. And that is the fact that Amanda Seyfried and her husband Thomas Sadowski have announced that they are splitting up after nine years of marriage. The pair have confirmed with People that they've actually been separated for a while and that it's proven to be the right move for them and their family unit. Now, Amanda and Thomas originally met back in 2015 when starring in the Broadway play, The Way We Get By. And at the time, Amanda was dating Justin Long and Thomas was married to Kimberly Hope.
How did Lena Dunham become a mom and what challenges did she share?
Then the following year, they reconnected and entered a long-term relationship while playing love interests in the comedy drama The Last Word. It was quite a whirlwind romance. They got engaged in September 2016, and they quietly eloped the following March. Together, they have two children, Nina and Thomas Jr., Exciting news for Lena Dunham. She has become a mom welcoming her first child via surrogate with husband Louis Felber.
What new bombshell claim did Charles Spencer make about Princess Diana and how did King Charles respond?
Lena has been very open about her struggles with endometriosis and how she underwent a hysterectomy when she was 31 due to the chronic pain she was experiencing. She actually speaks about this lots in her recent memoir, Fame Sick. So if you haven't read it, I absolutely recommend it. Lena wrote about the arrival of her daughter in a Vogue op-ed, saying, Such sweet words there. I highly recommend reading the full thing and, you know, just very happy news for the little family. Now, we can't really go a day without more royal family drama going down, can we? So basically, Princess Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, has a new book coming out called Swan Song, Diana, My Sister, a preview of which has been published in the Daily Mail.
In the new book, he writes about a heated phone call with now King Charles back in 1997, shortly after Diana's death.
Why is Charli XCX’s Playboy cover interview with Kylie Jenner making headlines?
He details the conversation in which he claims Charles ultimately said, rest assured we'll forget her soon enough. Now, Buckingham Palace released a statement shortly after the story went live, saying, "...while we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and color memory in ways others do not recognize, even many years after such a loss." Now, what makes this interesting is that it really is quite rare of King Charles to respond publicly to something like this in this way. So I'm very curious to see what unfolds when the full book is out on September 22nd, and we will keep you across it. Charli XCX is the latest cover star for Playboy, and in the magazine, she's discussed lots of things, including her marriage and career, sitting down with Kylie Jenner, her co-star from The Moment, for the interview portion.
She also talked about feeling sexy, saying, When asked when she feels the most confident, she said, when I'm on stage or when I'm with George, of course talking about her new husband, George Daniel, of the 1975. Now you have to go and check out the pictures if you haven't seen them because she does indeed look very sexy and very hot.
What did Selena Gomez reveal about her first year of marriage to Benny Blanco?
Still to come, Selena Gomez spills the beans on what her first year of marriage has been like and a new TV show and movie that I could not be more excited about and I think you will be too.
This spring, Unleashed is throwing me the formal I never had and you're all invited. Because we're going back to the 80s and 90s for a night of Madonna, Mariah, George Michael, big hair, shoulder pads and a lot of dancing.
