A doctor was sentenced to a prison sentence for the death of Friends star Matthew Perry before the star’s death. The sentence for Dr. Plasencia was two and a half years. In connection with Perry’s death, he is the first of five people to serve time in prison.
After years of struggle with depression and addiction, the Friends star, who rose to fame as Chandler Bing in the sitcom, was discovered dead in his bathtub at home in 2023.
Plasencia admitted guilt on four counts of ketamine distribution earlier this year. Four others facing charges have already entered pleas of guilt.
Perry’s father John and stepmom Debbie wrote an emotional letter as part of a judge’s “victim impact statement” prior to Plasencia’s sentencing. What were your motivations? I have no idea. a physician who lives devoted to “helping people”?
His heartbroken mum and stepdad also blasted the doctor who supplied him with ketamine weeks before his death.
In a moving victim impact statement released before his court hearing in Los Angeles today, Suzanne and Keith Morrison expressed their anger toward Salvador Plasencia. Plasencia and others were referred to as “jackals” who exploited their son before he died at the age of 54, according to the pair’s statement, which was also included in a victim impact statement.
One of five people who admitted guilt to giving Perry drugs is the doctor. Jasveen Sangha, a 42-year-old British woman, is dubbed the “ketamine queen.”

Joe Thomas has revealed a secret health battle as he opened up about the pressure of filming TV hit The Inbetweeners. The star shared that he was struggling with his mental health and detailed a time when a “breakdown” was even caught on camera.
Alongside Simon Bird, James Buckley and Blake Harrison, Joe was one of the core four stars on Channel 4’s hit comedy series The Inbetweeners, which aired over three seasons and two films from 2008 to 2014, playing hapless romantic schoolboy Simon Cooper.
On their podcast, Joe and James Fact Up, Joe discussed his battle with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). In order to avoid having obsessive and intrusive thoughts that make you act compulsively, you must take action to temporarily lessen the effects of the intrusive thoughts.
The Inbetweeners was being filmed under a lot of pressure, Joe admitted to James. I experienced a lot of pressure. I recently developed crippling OCD, believing that I would fudge up the continuity.
I kept turning up and being told, “I’m so sorry, just worried that I might have made a noise with my chair,” and they replied, “Joe, it’s fine, we’ll let you know. “
He claimed that he had OCD before he started the E4 series, but that the producers paid for a therapist to come on set, who assumed it was a joke.
“It was just generally astonishing OCD… I had it when I left university and when I was on the Inbetweeners it was really, really bad to the extent where they paid for a therapist to come on set and she thought it was a joke. Because it was a Channel 4 show, she thought it was like a candid camera show and it was a stitch up.”
Joe continued to claim that he was “completely insane” because no one else was discussing OCD at the time. He continued, praising Ian Morris, the creator of The Inbetweeners, for his frequent blinking on camera. One of the things he was doing was to “pull my head together,” he said.
When asked about Ian, he said, “I felt seen, that is what it is… There were times when I was just irritated that I was making the show because I wanted to return to my own private worries.”
Joe’s twitches were eventually revealed to James as an outcome of his investigation into becoming a DVD extra.
At one point, according to James, “unfairly, this turned into a DVD extra when Joe was having a breakdown.” There is an outtake where Joe is having a breakdown in the first Inbetweeners movie, and he says, “Well, that did absolutely nothing.”
Joe explained that he would frequently request brief breaks to calm down. “I’d be like, “I can’t do it, can I just… it’ll take about six or nine seconds. “
James continued, “We put so much pressure on ourselves, but it was stressful.” When you consider it, it’s actually really ironic, but there was such a pressure to be funny. We had a burning desire to laugh.
The Inbetweeners may be returning to TV in 2026, as the production team and all four stars have expressed an interest in doing so. Talking to The Mirror, Joe said he’d take any opportunity to work with the team again. “I just love them,” he gushed. “I love being around them. And I’ve worked with them in other contexts as well – really I’ve taken every opportunity to work with one of that group ever since the show ended.”

Strictly Come Dancing has welcomed back two of its legendary professional dancers for a special segment on It Takes Two, where they look back on their history on the BBC show. Former couple and professional partners Flavia Cacace and Vincent Simone appeared on It Takes Two tonight, where they opened up about their time on the show.
Vincent and Flavia both joined Strictly in 2006 and stayed on the show for six years. They joined Strictly as both romantic and professional partners, however they eventually split in 2007. Vincent later married wife Susan Duddy in 2015 before divorcing three years later, while Flavia has been married to ex-contestant Jimi Mistry since 2013.
The former couple last appeared together on an episode of The Generation Game in 2018, and they recently reconciled on It Takes Two tonight. Vincent apologised to the audience, “Oh my goodness, I haven’t seen Flavia in a while.” It’ll be lovely to see her once more. It will be nice to catch up and reflect on the wonderful memories we had.
The pair looked back at their 2005 television performance, Strictly Dance Fever. They were hired by Strictly to choreograph an Argentine Tango piece that had never before been performed on the stage.
When Bruce first introduced us, Vincent said, “They are my favorite couple,” while Flavia said, “He used to say that about everyone, but I do believe it was his favorite dance.”
The duo continued performing together for nine years after splitting up with Strictly in 2012. Flavia last appeared on It Takes Two back in Choreography Corner in 2021, while Vincent later made a comeback as a choreographer for Argentine Tangos.
On the program, Vincent said, “Me and you left a legacy. Can you send me my dance shoes, Flavia asked?
Prior to winning with gymnast Louis Smith in 2012, Flavia placed second with Matt Di Angelo, whom she dated for three years. Vincent also placed second behind Dani Harmer and Rachel Stevens in the 2008 season, before ending his run on the show in fourth place.
Flavia is now married to Jimi Mistry, with the pair living on a seven-acre farm in Devon. They now sell fresh produce from their farm and run a bakery.
After moving to Lorraine, she said, “I just needed a break. I never retired.

I’m a Celeb star Aitch ’s beloved sister has secretly flown to Australia for an emotional reunion. The rapper’s family has arrived Down Under in the last 24 hours in a boost to the star, whose manager was the only person isupporting him so far in person.
And Gracie was seen today at the celebrity hotel as ITV filmed the arrival of Kelly Brook after she became the fourth person to be evicted from the jungle. She was filmed chatting to Kelly, who told her: “I have heard so much about you…can I have a hug.”
We recently heard your song, she continued. It was fantastic. Your brother is truly in your heart. You must have a crush on him, I bet you. Aitch has a close relationship with his two twin sisters, Gracie and Hattie, both of whom are 16 years his junior, and Gracie, who has Down’s Syndrome, in particular, has a significant influence on his life.
He has dedicated his hit track My G to Gracie, with all the funds generated from the donated to the Down’s Syndrome Association. On Tuesday night’s show he sang the song – sparking fans to say he should win.
A fan wrote on X that “Aitch must win.” One commentator called him “such a lovely man” and “bet Aitch’s sisters are so proud of him right now.” A third person expressed her love for Aitch so much. The song touched Aitch’s campmates, who were listening. In particular, Ruby Wax acknowledged that her emotional state had been affected by the performance.
Aitch has opened up in camp to Eddie about the close bond he has with his sisters, particularly Gracie. Talking about how Gracie was born with Down Syndrome, he explained how she loved watching Ellie Goldstein on Strictly Come Dancing, telling him when Ellie came on screen: “She’s one of God’s special children like me.”

Aitch made it known prior to his show appearance that he would be traveling to the Australian jungle to raise awareness of those with Down syndrome. He continued, “I’m doing it for people all over as well as for people with Down syndrome.” If someone discovers that someone in the family has Down syndrome, I don’t want anyone to feel upset or upset. It is a blessing.
As long as you spend it with that person, you’re going to have the most enjoyable time of your life. Really and truly, my main concern is that I don’t want Down syndrome to be perceived as a negative trait. I don’t want anyone to go through the same stages as my sister or my child, who both have Down syndrome.

Thomas Markle, 81, was taken to hospital in the Philippines on Tuesday, after he became seriously ill at his home. Meghan’s dad went through a three hour operation on Thursday, local time, and is currently in intensive care, his son has said.

Thomas Jr., speaking to the Daily Mail, said he rushed his dad to a local hospital in the Philippines where the doctors said “his life was in imminent danger”, following several scans.
The son added: “They raced us by ambulance, with the sirens going, to a much bigger hospital in the centre of the city. My dad has undergone emergency surgery.”
Thomas Jr. also put out a plea to people across the globe to think about Meghan’s dad during his urgent health battle, saying: “I would ask everyone around the world to keep him in their thoughts.”
The father and daughter have been estranged since 2018
Meghan’s dad has faced health battles for several years, including two heart attacks before her wedding to Prince Harry in 2018. Thomas Sr. also suffered a huge stroke in 2022, which left him unable to talk for several months.
Thomas’ other daughter Samantha claimed she believes her father’s health has worsened due to pressures on him in the past few years.
Samantha said: “He is a strong man, but he has been through so much. I am praying that he is strong enough to survive this. My father has been through two heart attacks, a stroke and an earthquake. I hope he can pull through this.”

Thomas Sr. has been living in a £500-a-month high-rise flat in the island of Cebu, more than 7,000 miles away from Meghan and Harry in Los Angeles. He has never met his grandchildren Archie and Lilibet.
Meghan’s dad is looked after and cared for by Thomas Jr., his middle child. Despite his recent health battles, the regional Emmy award-winner moved to the densely populated tropical island in January this year, where extreme temperatures often hit residents.
Speaking in January, Meghan’s dad revealed why he considered leaving California for South East Asia. He said: “travelled in that part of the world when I was a younger man. The people are so kind and welcoming, and they are respectful to older people. It is a place of culture and beauty.
“At 80 it is time to go somewhere where the people are lovely and I can enjoy a quieter, friendlier existence. In South East Asia the medical care is good, you can live reasonably cheaply, the people are kind and respect older people and the food is healthy. Mostly I just want peace.”

There were worrying Emmerdale scenes on Wednesday night as a shocking discovery changed everything.
Celia Daniels, a vampire, wanted two “to be dealt with” to find new targets. After a truth left the baddie furious, Ray Walters was told to do something.
While Ray and Celia are known to operate a drug operation and recruit and exploit vulnerable people, they also force them to work on their farm. Bear Wolf, the father of Paddy Kirk, is one of the people working on the farm.
Paddy has no idea his father is nearby and experiencing such a terrible ordeal because he has been missing for months. While Dylan was a teenager, Ray lured him away from the streets in search of “a better life.”

He has been used to get April Windsor involved and has been drug-dealing with. However, this week, Dylan became aware of Bear’s work ethic and the extent of what was happening at Celia’s farm.
Dylan and Paddy lived together until Wednesday, when we saw the consequences of his discovery. Before trying to conceal Bear’s identity from Celia, he issued a warning to Marlon Dingle, April’s father.
However, Celia soon learned the truth after discovering a picture of Bear and Paddy in Paddy’s home. She was aware, therefore, that Dylan was aware of Bear’s presence at the farm.
She complained to Ray about him having Bear, a local, in a way that was against the law, and she said something had to be done to cover their tracks. She advised Ray that he had to resolve both Dylan and Bear, stating that they needed to be resolved and that nothing could be done.
Will Dylan spill the beans now that he is aware of the disappearance of Bear and has realized what Celia can do? Will Bear learn that Paddy is concerned for him and attempt to flee?
What will Ray do and how far will Celia anticipate him to advance to prevent Bear from causing trouble in their path is the big question. Celia made it abundantly clear she wanted more when Ray promised to “have a word.”

She said, “A word does nothing. You will care for Ted, or “You will take care of Dylan,” according to Bear. What will Ray do as Dylan and Ted are facing danger as dark music plays in the scene’s background?
