Poor Kelly grounded for Cruise’s flight of fancy
NOW he’s playing a washedup US navy fighter pilot in Top Gun: Maverick, how gentlemanly it would have been if Tom Cruise, pushing 60, had invited Kelly McGillis, his co-star from the original movie, to join him for the remake. Instead, Monica Barbaro, 31, pictured, is his hot totty. The fabulous actress McGillis could have played washed-up very convincingly, too. Perhaps her age, just a few years older than Cruise, reminds him of his own.
HEARTBREAKING enough that Victoria Beckham’s new daughter-in-law, Nicola Peltz, chose not to wear bespoke VB gowns for her wedding to the former’s son Brooklyn, nor in any of the many post- and pre-wedding parties. Worse, Posh was relegated to dressing Scary Spice and her mum when Mel B collected her MBE (knickerless, as she told the world). I’d say there’s not much chance of mother-in-law
Victoria heading Nicola’s way any time soon.
A SOBBING Amber Heard claims in court she was raped by her husband Johnny Depp weeks after they married in 2015, and that he even threatened to kill her. Her testimony is so horrible to hear, it makes me wonder why she stayed in the marriage for a further two years after suffering such abuse.
THE new trend is for pup pre-nups so couples can work out who gets Fido in the event of a divorce. But what about cats? When I divorced, my ex wanted one of our ginger brothers and threatened to kidnap – catnap? – him. I said: ‘If you do that, I’ll murder you.’ Both Ronnie and Reggie lived out their lives with me; no pre-cat-nup needed – just a death threat.
AFTER heavyweight champion Tyson Fury won his last fight, he said he was quitting boxing to spend more time with his lovely wife and six kids; that he was a humble man who didn’t need much money and proudly drove around in a beatenup VW Passat. Must be some Tyson lookalike, then, with a €163,000 Porsche courtesy car
while his €292,000 Ferrari was in for a service.
COUNTRYFILE presenter Helen Skelton announced on Instagram that her husband, Richie Myler, had left just four months after their third child was born. What kind of man gives up on an eight-year marriage when three children, including a newborn, are involved?
Now, just days later, we hear he’s got a new girlfriend – the daughter of his millionaire boss. Like so many rotters, Myler no doubt assured Helen there was no one else. The rugby player’s behaviour gives a whole new meaning to putting the boot in. Send him to the sin-bin – for good!
