Rumer Willis has publicly praised her dad, crediting him with giving her the inspiration to become an action star, like iconic Die Hard actor Bruce. The 70-year-old was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in 2023, with the action hero now “non-verbal” and requiring 24-hour care.

His tragic diagnosis came just one year after he retired from acting after being given the aphasia language disorder diagnosis in March 2022. His family confirmed that his illness had advanced to FTD, which has a typical life expectancy of six to eight years but can last as little as two.

Bruce was married to actress Demi Moore, 62, between 1989 and 2000. They share three daughters, Rumer, 36, Scout, 33 and Tallulah, 31. The pair divorced, and Bruce remarried after meeting British model Emma Heming – they share two daughters, Mabel Ray, 12, and Evelyn Penn, 10.

Rumer, Bruce’s eldest child, has revealed that Rumer is stepping up to the action-themed footsteps of her father. Katherine Atherton, a disgruntled widow, is portrayed by her new film, Trail of Vengeance, who is devoted to retaliation for her husband’s murder.

In a recent interview with People magazine, she said: “My dad is such an action man,” adding: “My mom’s done her fair share [of action] as well.” Rumer’s mum Demi starred in Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle and GI Jane – in which she played the titular character.

Rumer continued, “When I learned that I had this role, I felt like a little kid.” The movie has already been released in theaters.

When she has spare time, mother-of-one Rumer ensures that her two-year-old daughter Louetta, who is only two, can spend as much time with her father as possible. According to a source, “Rumer wants to make sure Louetta knows Bruce.”

She wants Louetta to actively participate in her life. It shares a very special ring. The sisters of Ruler and his is so dedicated to him. They are aware that he might pass away at any time.

In spite of their divorce, Bruce and his ex-wife Demi has also taken proactive measures to ensure that their daughters are cared for. The Substance star previously told Variety that “we will always be a family, just in a different form.”

She continued, “I’ve already shared this, but I really mean this. … It’s so important for anyone who is dealing with this to really meet them where they are.” And there is such loving and joy there. “

Demi told Town &amp, Country magazine that getting a diagnosis was crucial in order for me to understand what fronto-temporal dementia is and educate our children. Never have I attempted to sugarcoat anything for them.

She stated on CBS Sunday Morning in September that the key is to simply meet him where he is and how he was rather than be fixed to who or what he was. Being in the moment, meeting him where he is, and finding the joy and love of just what is happening where he is only makes you feel better, once more, because of course.

Sinner, Zverev Into French Open Last 16, Keys And Gauff Fight Through

Madison Keys overcame three match points to advance with fellow US women Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, and Hailey Baptiste, who is also a world number one, Jannik Sinner, who was followed by Alexander Zverev from last year’s French Open.

Novak Djokovic will face Filip Misolic, an Austrian qualifier, on Court Philippe Chatrier in a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam match.

But just before Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain’s opening game of European club football, Sinner was able to win the biggest prize, beating world number 34 Jiri Lehecka 6-0, 6-1, 6-2.

The top-seeding Italian said, “I think it’s good to spend less time on court in the early stages of Grand Slams,” if you have the chance.

There isn’t much I can do, in my opinion.

Andrey Rublev, who advanced after Frenchman Arthur Fils withdrew injured on Friday, will face three-time Grand Slam champion Sinner.

Sinner hasn’t stopped getting so hot since returning from a three-month doping ban, defeating Carlos Alcaraz, the reigning Roland Garros champion, in the Italian Open final.

The 23-year-old has now won 17 matches after winning the 2024 US Open and Australian Open in January, continuing his excellent form on clay in Paris where he has not lost a set.

Brazilian teenager Joao Fonseca defeated British fifth seed Jack Draper 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 to advance to the fourth round, where he will face Alexander Bublik.

Zverev is looking for a “happy end.”

German third seed Zverev defeated Hamburg champion Flavio Cobolli 6-1 to beat third-seeded Germany in the final last year.

Zverev remarked, “I definitely felt it on the court today. It was quite hot.

“But I’m glad to finish in three sets without wasting any more energy,” he continued.

“I think this court is very special.” Zverev, who suffered a bad ankle injury in the 2022 semi-finals against Rafael Nadal, said, “I had some of the best memories of my life on this court, but I also had some of the worst memories of my life on this court.

It’s a love story that hasn’t yet reached its happy ending, but I hope it will.

Fifth-seeded compatriot Sofia Kenin lost to Keys in the women’s tournament by 4-6, 6-3, and 7-5.

After Baptiste defeated Spain’s Jessica Bouzas Maneiro 7-6 (7 / 6) 6-1 earlier in the day, Keys will face another countrywomen in the following round.

Keys and Kenin made early breaks in the decider, but the reigning Australian Open champion broke the 31st seed at 5-5 before holding serve to watch the match through.

Before the world number eight turned the match round to make her place in the last 16, Kenin had led 3-0 in the third set and held three match points over Keys.

With a straight-sets victory over Czech Marie Bouzkova, world number two Gauff sealed her place in the same competition.

The 21-year-old defeated the world number 47 6-1, 7-6 (7/3), to move on to Ekaterina Alexandrova, the 20th seed, who defeated fellow Russian Veronika Kudermetova 6-2, 6-2.

With a 3-6, 6-4, and 6-2 victory over Czech Marketa Vondrousova, third seed Pegula defeated fellow Americans.

Pegula, the unheralded Lois Boisson, who is the final French player competing in Roland Garros, will face the unheralded Pegula, who finished second last year in the US Open.

Boisson and his team won 6-3, 0-6, 7-5 against 138th-ranked compatriot Elsa Jacquemot.

“Obviously, I’m going to have some crazy support,” Pegula said.

It will be enjoyable, I believe. It will be cool to participate in that.

Andreeva, 18, defeated Kazakh Yulia Putintseva 6-3, 6-1 to advance to the last 16.

Andreeva, the 17th-ranked Daria Kasatkina, and Andreeva, the sixth seed, defeated Putintseva in 78 minutes to set up a showdown.

After reversing her allegiance to her native Russia, Kasatkina, who is now playing for Australia, defeated Spanish 10th seed Paula Badosa 6-1, 7-5.

Andreeva won nine of the match’s final ten games after a sparse opening set.

The Russian said, “I’m happy that with every game I play, I feel better and better.

Two killed in Russian attacks on Ukraine before possible talks in Turkiye

At least two people have been killed in Ukraine as a result of Russian drone and missile attacks on Ukraine, according to officials, as Ukraine ordered the evacuation of 11 more Sumy-bordering Russian-area villages.

According to the Ukrainian air force, 109 drones and 42 drones were shot down in Ukraine on Friday and overnight, according to an estimate from the Russian military. Thirty other drones failed to reach their targets without causing any harm.

The attacks occurred as the world was unsure about Kyiv’s participation in a new round of peace talks in Istanbul for the first time starting this week.

According to Zaporizhia’s governor Ivan Fedorov, a child was killed in a rocket attack on Saturday in the front-line village of Dolynka in the Zaporizhia region and another was hurt in the same attack.

“One home was destroyed,” he said. Fedorov wrote on Telegram that the blast’s shockwave also caused damage to a number of other homes, cars, and outbuildings.

Governor Oleksandr Prokudin posted a tweet claiming that a man was killed by Russian shelling in the Kherson region of Ukraine.

Both attacks were not addressed by Moscow.

Authorities in the Sumy region of Ukraine reported that they were evacuating 11 villages that were located about 30 kilometers (19 miles) away from the Russian border.

The regional administration stated on social media that the decision was made in light of the ongoing threat to civilian life caused by border community shelling.

According to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine, about 50 000 Russian troops are stationed in the area in an effort to establish a buffer zone inside Ukrainian territory.

Oleksandr Syrskii, the country’s top military commander, claimed on Saturday that the main offensive against Russia was being conducted in Pokrovsk, Torets, and Lyman in the Donetsk and Sumy border regions.

Moscow has repeatedly refuted Syrskii’s claim that Ukrainian forces are still occupying the Kursk region of Russia.

Washington called on both countries to end the three-year war, so the evacuations and attacks came just two days before a potential meeting between Kyiv and Moscow in Istanbul.

Russia has confirmed that it will send a delegation, but Kyiv has not yet accepted the proposal, warning that negotiations would not succeed unless the Kremlin had agreed to terms of peace in advance.

EastEnders’ Charlie Brooks shares ‘joy of unemployment’ after Janine Butcher exit

The former EastEnders star and I’m A Celebrity winner is making the most of her unemployment by utilizing her newfound spare time to read and attend shows with her pals.

EastEnders star Charlie Brooks has been making the most of her “unemployment”, having spent Friday night at a gig in London. The former Janine Butcher actress saw Martha Wainwright on the UK leg of her tour, when she played at Union Chapel in Islington.

Charlie, 44, left the soap in 2012 but went on to set up her own acting training business, iampro, which offers mentoring and industry classes for creatives. She also took part in Strictly Come Dancing in 2011 and was crowned queen of the jungle after winning I’m A Celebrity in 2012.

But aside from some smaller roles, she’s remained off the screen for some time, but she is lapping up her so-called “unemployment”. Writing on Instagram, she said: “Joys of unemployment. Getting to watch Martha Wainwright at Union Chapel with my gorgeous friend @shazzleydazzley for belated birthday celebrations.

Having time to read her book. She was everything and more. x, I appreciate it. The singer-songwriter’s book, Stories I Might Regret Telling You, was among the photos and videos shared by the audience.

Charlie made her first appearance in Albert Square in 1999, and she did so until 2004 before taking the roles in Robin Hood and Beverley Allitt: Angel of Death, where she played a murder nurse. From 2008 to 2012, she worked in the Square.

The mum-of-one returned to the soap in 2022, before competing in Dancing on Ice, alongside Olympic skater Eric Radford. Back in January, she addressed whether a return to Walford was on the cards.

She said, “I’m going right back to Chitty Chitty Bang for a while, and then I’ll probably need a little time off.” I’m not sure about that until we start talking about another theater project.

I’m wasting my time, I promise. Who knows, then? In Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’s UK tour, Charlie starred opposite Coyote Ugly’s Adam Garcia last year.

Kiki Truman Brooks, 20, is Charlie’s daughter with her ex-boyfriend Tony Truman, who she split up with in 2006. However, despite their breakup, Charlie and Charlie are still a good couple. He lives in the Surrey apartment above Charlie’s house.

She and architect Ben Hollington dated for about five years before splitting in 2017. Tonya sobbed when they called it a day because he was so fond of her new boyfriend. She has a more recent relationship with advertising director James Fuller.

Speaking on Yahoo UK’s White Wine Question Time podcast, she said: “My ex partner Ben, who I was with for five or six years, who’s an amazing human being, you know, we woke up on Christmas Day together, all of us. Tony would come down, we’d all get into bed and open the presents together with Kiki, cos she adores Ben, and I think it can be problematic.

I believe he probably has more issues with that sort of things than I do. This is the longest I’ve ever been single, at four years. Then, for five or six years, I spent time with Ben, who was just really accepting. We all took vacations together, and Tony adored him without a doubt. When Ben and I broke up, Tony cried. He sobbed in fact.

Sharks beat Munster in dramatic URC kicking shootout

United Rugby Championship quarter-final, following extra-time

Sharks (0) 24

Hooker, Fassi, and Mbatha Cons: Ja Hendrikse 3 Pen: Ja Hendrikse.

Munster (7) 24

Cons: Crowley 3 Pen: Murray

After the Sharks’ incredibly dramatic quarter-final of the United Rugby Championship in Durban ended 24-24 after extra-time, they defeated Munster 6-4 in a place-kick match.

The shootout, which involved six kicks from three players from each team, saw Rory Scannell’s missed penalty save the lives of Bradley Davids, Jaden Hendrikse, and Jordan Hendrikse, all convert their two shots at the posts.

With just two kicks each, Conor Murray and Jack Crowley scored for the visitors.

After twice before falling short of the quarter-finals, Sharks’ thrilling victory made it their first time to reach the final four of the competition.

Next weekend, they travel to South African rival Bulls, with Leinster hosting Glasgow in the other semi-final.

A converted Calvin Nash try gave the Irish province a 7-0 lead at Kings Park after the break, but a 10-7 lead was given early by an Ethan Hooker score and Jaden Hendrikse penalty.

Munster appeared to be in control after Josh Wycherley and Diarmuid Kilgallen scored on additional touchdowns, but Aphelele Fassi and Fez Mbatha headed in the opposite direction to give the hosts a three-point lead.

Durban thrill-seeking competition

Munster were seven points ahead of them when Kilgallen weaved his way past three defenders to get the ball to Crowley, who sent a cross-field kick bouncing into the corner.

Makazole Mapimpi was supposed to have it, but it evaded him and was perfectly happy to finish it for Nash.

After the Sharks had been penalized at the breakdown, Crowley pulled his effort wide after adding the extras, but he was found guilty of a bad miss off the tee.

Jordan Hendrikse missed with a 45-meter penalty attempt, but Munster’s team struggled to put their pressure on themselves by putting up a lot of attacks in the first half as a result of a combination of regular handling errors and some obstinate defense.

However, when wing Hooker cut inside and sprinted past three defenders to score close to the posts, John Plumtree’s side were level within six minutes.

When Nash was stopped just short of the line, Jaden Hendrikse’s penalty gave his team a 1-0 lead, but Wycherley’s advantage was dwindling as a replacement prop dipped over with his first touch after accepting a flat pass from Craig Casey.

When substitute Mike Haley passed through, Mapimpi slipped, and Kilgallen won the race, scoring 14 points at the hour mark.

The Sharks went over for the score that would lower their arrears to four as a result of the pressure in the Munster scrum.

The visitors eventually moved the ball quickly to full-back Fassi, who crossed, but they were fortunate not to concede a penalty try.

The Sharks were ahead as their pressure indicated six minutes after regulation time ended. After the line-out, they gained a quick ball, and replacement hooker Mbatha bucked his way over.

Munster weren’t done, so Murray forced extra-time by successfully landing an enormous kick from just inside the Sharks half to bring the game level.

Team formations

Sharks: Fassi, Hooker, Am, Esterhuizen, Mapimpi, Jaden Hendrikse, Nche, Mbonambi, Koch, Etzebeth (capt), Jenkins, Venter, Tshituka, Kolisi, and others.

Mbatha, Mchunu, Jacobs, Van Heerden, Buthelezi, Venter, and Penxe are their replacements.

Munster: Abrahams, Nash, Farrell, Kilgallen, Crowley, Craig Casey, Milne, Niall Scannell, Archer, Kleyn, Beirne (capt), O’Mahony, Hodnett, Coombes, and Farrell.
