A former housemate is facing eviction once more from their rented property, according to reports after being kicked out of the Celebrity Big Brother House.

Mickey Rourke is reportedly facing eviction after falling almost £44,000 behind in rent on his Los Angeles home. The 73-year-old star of films like Sin City, Man on Fire and Iron Man 2 is said to have been renting the three-bedroom Spanish-style bungalow just south of West Hollywood since April 2025.

However, according to reports, the actor, who portrayed professional wrestler Randy “The Ram” Robinson in the 2008 film The Wrestler, is accused of not paying rent and has an eviction notice posted outside the home. He must pay the outstanding rent within three days or leave the property.

It’s thought the notice was posted before Christmas on December 18 and hasn’t been complied with, so the case brought by the landlord, named as Eric Goldie, is now likely to go to court.

It comes after Mickey was kicked out the Celebrity Big Brother house in the UK earlier this year for ‘use of inappropriate language’ and ‘instances of unacceptable behaviour’.

Ella Rae Wise of The Only Way Is Essex and I had a conversation about using “sexual language.” After Mickey addressed homophobic and upsetting remarks to reality star JoJo Siwa, more than 1, 000 complaints were made. You won’t be gay any longer, he declared to the Dance Moms star.

Before being confronted by JoJo who criticized the singer for being homophobic, he also told the singer he would tie her up and later pledged to “vote out the lesbian.”

After less than a week in the Big Brother house Mickey was given his marching orders by ITV bosses over his controversial behaviour, which clearly made some of his housemates feel uncomfortable. It is understood that following the offensive remarks there were further incidents involving Mickey, with the final straw coming after he locked horns with Love Island’s Chris Hughes during a task.

Although the altercation wasn’t physically violent, a disagreement between the two caused CBB to behave and use offensive language, leaving him with no choice but to ask Rourke to leave the house.

Mickey’s removal reportedly left the actor short of cash as his rumoured £500,000 fee for appearing on the show was slashed. A source told The Sun at the time: “If a celebrity gets removed from the house, they don’t get the full fee. It’s as simple as that and they will be discussing that with him. Mickey was ready to leave the house and it ended up feeling like a mutual decision between him and ITV in the end. It was getting too much.”

Following a discussion with Big Brother about further use of inappropriate language and unacceptable behavior, an ITV spokesperson said in a statement about the show’s airing in April that Mickey Rourke had agreed to leave the Big BrotherLink opens in a new tab.” rel=”follow” tabindex=”0″>Celebrity Big Brother House this evening.

Mickey later apologized, saying, “I stepped over the line and I accept responsibility for the wrong thing.” Because I lost my temper, and I’ve tried to control it my entire life, I regret my actions. He continued, “I’m embarrassed of losing it for a brief moment there. Nobody was hurt or touched by anything. You know, I’m sorry about that, but maybe some feelings got hurt or maybe others had feelings about others getting upset.

After fleeing the UK following his controversial TV stint, Mickey has been keeping a low profile. But in August he looked unrecognisable as he was pictured with grey hair as he opened the door to take a food delivery. His Beverly Hills home reportedly had an overgrown garden with dead vines and a run-down front door.

North West appears to have removed one of her piercings after it caused controversy online, just weeks after telling critics to ‘pull themselves together’. The 12-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West stirred up conversation after getting her middle finger pierced.

On Tuesday (30 December), North shared a series of pics to Instagram, which she only debuted an account for earlier this month. In the photos, North posed with two friends in the snow. Her bright blue hair could be seen under the fluffy black hood of a Balenciaga puffer jacket, but her finger piercing was no where in sight, despite her hand being in full view.

North was seen with a dermal piercing on her right hand’s middle finger, which consisted of two silver balls placed just beneath her lower knuckle, while she was on a summer vacation in Italy with her mother. Many people who saw the photo’s piercing online criticized Kim for allowing her daughter to have one.

One person said, “She’s literally 12; she’s a child, and that’s a pretty permanent choice.” Another remarked, “I wish her mother had allowed her to raise her in a home away from the general public.” She now appears to be a grown adult rather than a child, so children should be given space to be themselves.

North reacted to the criticism via her mother’s TikTok account. Why are you crying, she said in a brief selfie video. What year did you get married? Simply put, piece it together.

This is for everyone who is angry over a finger piercing, she added a line to the top. The preteen also uploaded now-deleted images showing how the piercing was done in real life, demonstrating that it wasn’t fake.

Kim has received more negative comments about how she raised North this year, with many saying she shouldn’t let her 12-year-old dress in some of the same manner. North wore a tight black corset and a mini skirt in one outfit that was deemed inappropriate for the child.

“Wow! Completely inappropriate for a 12-year-old! “!, one fan wrote. Another uttered “Twelve” Sorry, but it’s too early to parade her around like that. She is still a very young woman. A third added: “12!!!! What’s up with some famous people who dress their kids much older than they are?

Responding to the criticism, Kim said on the Call Her Daddy podcast that she would never take North’s “creative” style away from her. “It makes her so happy. I would never take that creative [style] away from her,” she said.

She’s like my bestie and we’re so close, but her rebellion is wearing whatever she likes to do. My girlfriend should always be with me and be with me forever. And let’s try out different hair colors.

Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay’s wedding was certainly an explosive one set to the backdrop of a savage family feud. Here, we take a look at the hidden bombshells from the big day

With a star studded celebrity guest list, masses of fans and a family feud, Holly Ramsay and Adam Peaty’s wedding was one of the most talked about this year.

Bath Abbey was packed with family and friends including Victoria and David Beckham, but there was one group missing from the glitzy bash – Olympic swimmer Adam’s own family. After being axed from the guest list after a series of rows, the Peaty family were left heartbroken. The bitter fall out appears to have ignited when the wider Peaty family were not invited to the couple’s engagement bash, and culminated in Adam’s own mum Caroline being banned from the hen do and wedding. At first, Caroline said she and Holly were close, telling the Daily Mail how she shared her fears that her son was pulling away. “I remember her words ‘You’ve got him back now, he’ll always be part of your family,'” she said.

This morning, Caroline shared a string of cryptic posts this morning, where she revealed she feels she’s ‘lost a piece of herself’ and admitted she was ‘praying for peace’ in 2026.

But tensions arose when Adam’s aunties were allegedly not invited to celebrate his engagement, prompting Caroline to text Holly. “I told her, ‘You know how important family is to you, as it is to me. My sisters are not coming to the party, they have been there all through Adam’s life.’ But Adam didn’t take kindly to me sending that message.”

For Adam’s part, he insisted on social media that there “are always two sides to every story”, insisting, “I am continuing to learn about myself and how I can be the man I want to be; a worthy partner, father, businessman, friend and athlete; even through these challenging times.” The feud reached its crescendo on December 27 when the wedding went ahead without Adam’s distraught mum. And while all eyes were on the guestlist and designer dresses, behind the scenes, yet more fuel was being poured onto the fire. Here are the biggest bombshells from the big day…

Name change

Adam wasted no time in shedding the old him following his wedding – and has already changed his name. The Olympian appears to have made a huge statement about his future by changing his name on social media. Two days after his wedding, the star has revealed he now goes by Adam Ramsay Peaty, in homage to his new wife.

The name change is the latest sign that Adam has distanced himself from his own family, after uninviting his parents from his wedding at Bath Abbey. Holly has followed hubby Adam’s footsteps and made the big name change official. Her Instagram account now shows off her new title – Mrs Holly Anna Ramsay Peaty.

Vogue deal

Most brides don’t bother with a coat for the nuptials, but Holly set tongues wagging when she arrived at the Abbey wearing a silk cape with a lace hood. She wore the same cloak to leave the service and the reason soon became clear – a Vogue deal.

It’s now been reported that Holly will be featured in Vogue on New Year’s Day and that is where her dress will finally be unveiled. She is said to have worn two different dresses during her reception, with one being her mum Tana’s from her wedding to TV chef Gordon Ramsay in 1996.

Gordon’s brutal wedding speech

The wedding was certainly a Ramsay family takeover, with proud dad Gordon Ramsay walking his daughter into the Abbey, and making a speech at the wedding breakfast, with the renowned TV chef holding no prisoners. The 59-year-old gushed over how beautiful his daughter looked, telling Adam he was a “lucky man” and said to look at Tana, his wife and Holly’s mum as it’s what he has “to look forward to” according to The Sun. “Shame you don’t have the same,” he slyly told Holly following the toxic fall out with her in-laws. In a move bound to have pained Adam’s own mum, Gordon then told Adam that Tana would be an “amazing mum” to them both. It was also claimed Adam failed to mention his family or parents in his own speech following reports he’s blocked their texts. Instead, he voiced his praise for his swim coach Mel Marshall for being his “everything” and for “grounding and inspiring him”. In a brutal dig to his estranged mother, he is believed to have said that Mel was “like a mum”.

Caroline previously expressed worries about the Ramsay family’s influence and power, telling the Mail of her son: “He’s in Gordon’s clutches. I can’t help but feel like they are pulling him away from me. Their family is very insular.”

And now, in response to the father-of-the bride’s supposed speech, a family source fumed: “This was the Ramsays’ plan all along. They wanted Adam’s family gone and they have succeeded. You’d think that as parents, Gordon and Tana would have a bit more compassion towards Caroline, Mark and the family.” The source also then slammed sister Bethany – who served as a bridesmaid and was the only Peaty to be invited – for trying to “fit in” with the celebrity lifestyle, and said she had ‘betrayed’ her mum to see ‘what she can get out’ of being the only member of the family to get on with Holly and Adam.

According to reports, Adam told his dad Mark – via Bethany – that he could attend the service but would have to sit at the back behind the plus ones and would not be welcome at the reception. It appears that his father declined, choosing instead to stay with a heartbroken Caroline.

Actor and director Rob Reiner and wife Michele were found stabbed to death on December 14 at their $13.5 million Brentwood estate

The Princess Bride star Cary Elwes has broken his silence on director Rob Reiner’s murder. Actor and director Reiner and his wife Michele were both found dead on December 14 at their $13.5m Brentwood home.

The couple’s son Nick was arrested that night and has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder. Nick had a history of drug issues, going to rehab for the first time when he was just 15.

He was living in his parent’s guest house after a bout of homelessness. Friends and family of the pair have been leaving their tributes and now Cary Elwes, who worked on The Princess Bride with Reiner has left his own message.

He shared a statement along with footage of Reiner guiding him through a fight scene which was featured in the 1987 movie. The clip was followed by another of a 25th anniversary reunion Elwes had with Reiner.

The Princess Bride starred Elwes who played the farmhand Westley with a quest to win the hand of Princess Buttercup. To do this, he and his friends must rescue her from Prince Humperdinck.

Writing in an Instagram tribute, Elwes said: “Enough time has passed that I can finally put my grief into words. I was 24 when I first met Rob Reiner on The Princess Bride. And from that very first meeting I fell in love with him.

“I was already a fan of his work so meeting him in person was a dream come true. As we began spending more time together I knew this was someone I wanted in my life.”

The actor added: “This was a man who felt deeply. Whose heart was filled with love and compassion. He wasn’t impressed by how much money you had or if you had a privileged upbringing. He just wanted to know if you were a ‘good guy’. He always tried to find the best in people. And if that person had problems he felt bad for them.

“He loved his family and friends immensely. He obviously loved making movies – and was clearly a brilliant filmmaker – but he told me what he really enjoyed the most was the experience itself.

“He used to say, ‘Once the movie is released it belongs to other people. But while you are making it, that’s your time on the planet, so you wanna make it good’. And boy was my time with him on The Princess Bride beyond great. I can’t remember a single day without laughter.”

Elwes then went on to mention Reiner’s wife Michele who he describes as “incredibly loving”. He added: “In a town where many talk the talk, they truly walked it. Whenever we got together we would talk about family, life, movies and politics. But without fail Rob would always find a way to make us laugh. That was important to him. Finding the joy.

“And if I could make him laugh in return, I felt like I had won the lottery. His laugh was one of the greatest sounds I’ve ever known — so heartfelt it still rings in my ears.”

Elwes finished off his message by saying: “With this note my family and I send our deepest condolences and heartfelt prayers to their family, friends and fans.”

There’s no better place to celebrate the new year than Jools Holland, and Mirror man Mark Jefferies can now reveal the reasons behind the celebrations.

Even though I only have two bottles of beer, I’m on my feet dancing and singing along at 8:47 PM. Some people appear a little teary, while others are hugging or arm-in-arm. It’s midnight on New Year’s Eve in this make-believe world I’ve entered.

Thanks to Jools Holland and a magical night in a glittering West London TV studio on December 10, I had a special occasion to celebrate 2026 before all of you. Hootenanny by Jools Holland is just as important as soaps and the monarch’s Christmas Day address. For the 33rd time, Jools will officially welcome the new year’s eve.

Peter Kay, a comedian, claimed that his mother still believes it to be live in his most recent book. Before visiting Versa Studios, my main inquiry was how to create the party atmosphere, which, it turns out, is as real as it appears on television.

A free bar offers drinks to attendees, which is unusual for the BBC, and they can take their seats. Around 30 minutes after the music starts, they are given glasses of prosecco to celebrate “midnight.”

Jools asks us to be quiet while the performers sing and then yell “keep it up” at the end. That is fantastic if you feel the urge to dance and move as a result. We have some incredible musical guests, and everyone is looking very beautiful.

Ronnie Wood, Olivia Dean, Craig David, Lulu, Jessie J, The Kooks, Heather Small, Imelda May, and the 1st Battalion Scots Guards are on this year’s bill.

The running order and set list are changed before the final version of the set list, according to Executive Producer Alison Howe, and it is important to have a diverse lineup of musicians.

People who accept it as New Year’s Eve are the other thing that counts. You kind of enter a mystical world where you forget what is going on inside the doors, she says.

Many musicians are very excited about the performance. Luke Pritchard, the singer behind Kooks, states: “It’s quite nerve-racking but in the best way. The New Year’s Eve show is Hootenanny, not just another gig. You’re a part of this unique experience that only occurs once while everyone is watching, and we hope everyone is in good spirits. It’s a legitimate right to be fair.

Knowing that you are someone’s soundtrack to their night, or the song they’re dancing around the kitchen with their nan means a lot to me. When you consider it, it is quite touching.

Jools leaves after taking a photo with me and spends the next three hours chatting and greeting A-list stars. He starts recording music, plays it on the piano with his band, and interviews famous people in the audience. To navigate a teeming circle of bands, singers, and guests, he only receives assistance from whiteboards with names or directions.

When the recording is over, Jools says, “It’s kind of like a swimming pool where you just throw yourself in and it’s all right once the water’s clear and you start swimming,” and you keep the momentum going.

You’re attempting to recall your piano playing. What will happen when that is over? Because of this, I can remember where I need to go for the next bit on a board.

With the exception of a few brief moments when production requests a pause, the filming is nonstop. Its goal is to film it without any breaks or stops. You want the energy to keep going, Jools states. So it becomes like real if we record it in a recording studio. It was all just, bang, bang, bang.

Who cares if there are a few minor errors there, though? It is what it is. Olivia Dean, a singing sensation who sings hits and sings alongside Jools in Natalie Cole’s 1975 debut single This Will Be (An Everlasting Love), is a “definite highlight.”

Olivia Dean has “gone ballistic this year,” he claims. She was playing clubs when she first appeared on the show a few years ago. She is currently adding on nights and selling stadiums from all over the world, including Rio de Janeiro to Munich to London’s O2.

She is an extraordinary, unbeliever, and a remarkable person. She enjoys doing things with us or doing things for me because she recalls her childhood favorites, Carole King, and, in this case, Natalie Cole songs.

I thought it was fantastic. a person might perform at a Christmas party. My grandfather would throw a Christmas party at my nan’s house, where everyone would sing their favorite songs, which were frequently musical ones. And that’s a little similar. “

The other key component is Jools’ band, who collaborate with many of the musicians, including both new songs and cover songs that they don’t typically play while traveling.

Everyone gets to soundcheck and practice their tracks after a day’s worth of rehearsals in the studios, followed by the other bands on the recording day.

There is a lot to learn for my band, Jools says, as well as a lot of horn-related arrangements. The public generally does not notice that.

Making notes while taking notes in their hotel rooms, so that when we go to rehearsal and play the first time, it sounds good. The band has never sounded better, and I’m not just saying that.

Tonight at 11 p.m., Jools’ Annual Hootenanny airs on BBC2 and BBC iPlayer.
