Good morning, angels, and strap in for a big one today. So, Barbie 2 is in serious jeopardy, and the reason is very Hollywood. Delta Goodrum has just closed out the Comm Games in Glasgow. Kimberley Van Der Beek has marked her first wedding anniversary since losing James, and it's so moving. Phil Collins has revealed something heartbreaking about his kids. Mavs Beck is selling her ring. And we catch the members of the Traders before it premieres on 10 tonight. Okay, first up, my darlings, Barbie has made 1.4 million
Why is Barbie 2 stalled and could Warner Bros lose the rights by December?
Billy at the box office that's US dollars in 2023 and yet a sequel is somehow in chaos here's why Warner Brothers Discovery CEO David Zaslav has refused to approve salary packages for Margot Robbie Ryan Gosling and director Greta Gerwig Gosling is reportedly asking 20 million dollars to reprise his role as Ken plus private participation and Zaslav has said nope The studio has made six offers over three years. All have been declined. No counter has been made. Crucially, if Warner Brothers doesn't get a sequel into development by December of this year, the rights to the Barbie franchise revert to Mattel. Mattel could then develop the sequel with an entirely new cast and creative team. Look, I'm not very good at maths, but I'm good enough to know that if the movie made over a billion dollars, just give him what he wants.
Am I right? Next up, Delta Goodrum has just closed the 2026 Comm Games in Glasgow, performing a medley of her hits at the closing ceremonies, including, how's this, a cheeky little You're the Voice John Farnham tribute alongside Scottish singer Cammie Barnes.
Ooh, I'm someone's daughter.
We're not gonna sit in silence We're not gonna live with fear
Delta welcomed athletes and delegations from 74 nations onto the arena floor, beginning the celebrations before Simple Minds and Scottish Axe took to the stage. Team Scotland ended with iconic orange traffic cones perched on their heads because, of course they did. Kimberly Vanderbeek has marked what would have been her and James' 16th wedding anniversary with a heartfelt Instagram post writing, 16 years ago, I was the luckiest woman in the world to marry James. The beauty of this marriage continues to unfold every day with all these incredible children we have. He continues to be present and guide us. I'm eternally grateful. James Vanderbeek, the Dawson's Creek star, passed away in February at 48 after battling stage 3 colorectal cancer.
He and Kimberly renewed their wedding vows in a bedside ceremony just two days before he passed.
Stick around, Phil Collins reveals his kids were called to say goodbye, Mavs Beck is selling a ring, and we catch up with the cast of Traders.
Welcome back to your morning tea. Phil Collins, who is now 75 years old, has given a rare and deeply candid interview to the Sunday Times. And it contains one revelation that made me feel so sad for him and his kids. He revealed that in April 2024, he was found unconscious in a Swiss hotel due to alcohol use. His manager of 50 years called his five children to his bedside to make decisions. Phil said, because there were some decisions that had to be made about, do we keep him on life support kind of thing? My kidneys were packing up. My organs were seizing up. People were coming to say goodbye, but I don't remember them coming. I didn't have any idea this was going on. He recalled his daughter, Lily Collins, of Emily in Paris, sitting beside him in tears, saying, I never thought I'd get these moments.
Phil has been sober since that hospitalisation and told The Times he now has a 24-hour living nurse to manage his ongoing health needs. A quick but satisfying update for Mavs fans. Bec Zachariah has listed the diamond ring she received from Danny Hewitt during the show for sale on Facebook Marketplace for $2,500. She captioned it simply, moving on. She also wrote, lab-grown diamond, barely worn. Good luck, Bec.
What salary demands are Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling and Greta Gerwig making for the sequel?
I hope it sells. I hope you thrive. And finally, the new season of The Traitors premieres tonight, 7.30 on 10, and we got to catch up with some of the cast ahead of it.
