Michael Madsen, the actor from Reservoir Dogs, passed away at the age of 67 after being discovered “unresponsive at home.” The actor, who also appeared in Kill Bill, was discovered dead in his Malibu home on Thursday morning, according to his manager.

Authorities said they didn’t anticipate any foul play from his manager, Ron Smith, who claimed he died from a cardiac arrest. Michael Madsen has been producing some incredible films for independent film, including the upcoming feature films Resurrection Road, Concessions, and Cookbook for Southern Housewives, according to a statement released.

Additionally, Madsen was working on a new book, Outlaw Thoughts and Poems, called Tears For My Father. One of Hollywood’s most recognizable actors, Michael Madsen will be greatly missed.

In the acclaimed movie Reservoir Dogs, Michael Madsen portrays Mr. Blonde.

The US actor gained notoriety for his frequent collaborations with renowned director Quentin Tarantino, appearing in films like The Hateful Eight, Kill Bill: Vols 1 and 2, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

In a notorious torture sequence from Stealers Wheel’s 1972 classic Stuck In The Middle With You, Madsen performed an infamous dance to the iconic song “Mr. Blonde.”

His publicist noted that Madsen had a significant impact on the film industry with a career that spanned more than 300 titles and spanned more than 40 years.

The actor also appeared in the first three Free Willy movies, which starred Jason James Richter as Jesse Greenwood’s adoptive father, in a notable role.

He appeared in the James Bond film series Die Another Day and Thelma And Louise and Donnie Brasco.

Virginia, 63, his actress sibling, wrote in a heartfelt statement about her brother. My brother Michael has left the stage, she said in a statement to Variety. He had velvet and thunder. Mischief that is tenderly wrapped.

A poet who pretends to be an outsider. A father, a son, and a brother, all tempered by a lasting love. We’re not mourning a famous person. We are grieving with ferocious hearts and flesh, not a myth. who roared through life in a roaring, brilliant, and ignoble fire. Who leaves us with echoes of gruff, brilliant, and unrepeatable, half legend, half lullaby?

I’ll miss the sudden laughter and the sound of him, “I’ll miss our inside jokes.” I’ll miss my big brother and the boy he was before the legend. Thank you to everyone who reaches out in memory and love.

We’ll discuss how we’ll celebrate his life in the future, but for the time being, we stick together and let the silence speak for themselves.

Michael Madsen slammed fellow actor Johnny Depp in his last interview before his death. The Reservoir Dogs star died on Thursday at the age of 67.

At his Malibu home, Michael was discovered to be unresponsive. He was most well-known for his roles in Kill Bill and the Quentin Tarantino film.

On his One Big Movie podcast, the Hollywood star sat next to Stephen Baldwin in what is thought to be his final interview before he passed away. In the conversation, Michael praised Stephen’s brother, Alec Baldwin, but wasn’t as kind toward Johnny, a member of Pirates of the Caribbean.

He stated to the host that he had a large collection of posters similar to those displayed in Stephen’s interview before speaking. Michael did not elaborate on how his home was destroyed in the wake of the Woolsey Fire in Malibu in 2018.

Stephen picked up his brother Alec as the conversation between the two got going. In 1994, Michael co-starred with Kim Basinger, Alec’s ex-wife. Alec shared a humorous account from the time, stating that the duo was interested in halting filming for a day.

He claimed that Michael responded to Michael’s phone in his hotel room when it rang. Before getting up on the caller, he claimed to put on a hilarious combination of a Latino and Chicago accent.

“Goddamnit, Alec, you’re the funniest mother f***er,” Michael opined. “Goddamnit, you’re the funnyniest mother f***er.”

But he confessed to thinking Johnny’s performance in Donnie Brasco was overrated. Johnny starred opposite Al Pacino in the Mafia movie, playing an FBI agent who goes undercover to infiltrate the family of one of the mob’s most prominent members. He then finds himself getting caught up in their world and grows further apart from his own.

And Michael, who portrayed Sonny Black in the film, acknowledged how disappointed he was with Johnny’s performance. When Johnny’s name was mentioned in the conversation, he said, “I don’t get it.”

He remarked about his work, “It just didn’t work for me.” There is no way to let a man join the family.

He continued, “Yeah. I see. It wasn’t terrible; it was just dull. It lacked life. I couldn’t understand how lifeless it was. I didn’t understand it.

Michael was allegedly having cardiac arrest when he passed away on Thursday. No foul play is suspected, according to the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department.

In a statement released by directors Susan Ferris and Ron Smith, as well as publicist Liz Rodriguez, it was stated that “Michael Madsen has been doing some incredible work with independent film, including upcoming feature films Concessions and Cookbook for Southern Housewives,” and that he was eager to start this chapter of his life.

“Michael Madsen will be missed by many,” said the Hollywood legend.

Robbie Williams has reportedly been nominated for a knighthood for his charity work as well as his contribution to music. It was only recently that it was revealed football icon David Beckham was named in the King’s Birthday Honours list, making him a Sir and his wife, Victoria, a Lady.

And now, there are calls for Rock DJ singer Robbie, who has 15 chart-topping records and seven number one singles as a solo artist, to become a Sir as well. It would be up to an honours committee, which will then send a shortlist of recommendations to Prime Minister Keir Starmer before King Charles signs it off.

Soccer Aid, a charity that the 51-year-old Angels singer founded in 2006, has raised 106 million dollars for Unicef over the years. Since 2000, he has served as the charity’s ambassador.

Since 2002, he has also served as the patron of Stoke-on-Trent-based children’s charity, The Donna Louise Trust. The charity offers palliative care to children who are terminally ill and haven’t lived past 16 years.

Robbie has been involved in many Comic Relief events and is also a patron for Music Support, a registered charity that helps peers who work in the UK music industry experiencing substance use, addiction and/or mental health challenges.

Scott Mills, a radio personality, also backed Robbie’s knighthood. He told The Sun, “Let’s not forget that he is the most decorated Brits winner in history.” I believe we should celebrate his accomplishments and acknowledge their joy.

He “deserves it,” he claimed. Not just for his musical contributions, but also for overcoming his inner demons in front of the camera and overcoming his inner enemy.

Robbie might have already seen his future as a Sir, as he previously claimed he has psychic powers. The Let Me Entertain You singer said he doesn’t think the strange happenings are coincidences, as they occur too frequently.

He said, “You think of people and they call,” in a statement made on the Weaponized podcast. You send emails to recipients who you know. Many of this could just be coincidence. But how recently it’s happening, wow, you’ve caught my attention.

He also made an admission about how he believed there was extraterrestrial life and how he believed two UFOs flew over LA 20 years ago.

He claimed he had a chance to hit the unidentified flying object with “a tennis ball” and that he wasn’t using any drugs at the time because it was so close.

A “gold ball of light” appeared in the studio while writing the song about alien contact in Arizona.

MARK JEFFERIES: ‘Oasis Live in Cardiff will make me cry tears of joy over best memories’

It was John and Paul that my dad inherited. But Noel and Liam from Oasis has always been my favorite. The Gallaghers defined the 1990s in the same way that Lennon and McCartney, the Beatles, and other significant changes in Britain were all about in the 1960s. Young people believed they had a voice and a swagger in their step because Labour was about to lose the election.

Both duos achieved fame, more than the sum of their parts. Only a first name will suffice for music icons from Liverpool and Manchester. When I was a teenager, oasis arrived just as I began attempting to sneak into a cheap cider bar. Alcohol and Oasis were the mainstays of my weekend, but I didn’t care about the cigarettes very much.

The attitude, the clothing, the clothes, and the haircuts. It was all Lam and Noel. They turned out to be amazing when we began to attend the shows. Within a short walk of the Gallaghers, adrenaline-fueled mosh pits are located in the front.

Tomorrow night in Cardiff, Noel and Liam (Getty Images) will take the stage.

For a youngster from Bath, which is quiet, it was exciting stuff. And I admired them. I grew older as they did. The songs continued to play a role in my life, even though my life may have been a little more balanced, and those Oasis gig nights remain significant memories.

These gigs haven’t occurred for 16 years. I’ve seen Liam perform live a few times, and it was great to hear him sing Definitely Maybe tracks again last year. And I’ve seen Noel, who has more artistic and studied live acting in his High Flying Birds, which are entertaining on their own, but lacking in his brother’s driving force and stage presence.

Noel and Liam always had one hand. It’s not the same as either, it’s just different. The wait will be over in Cardiff in 20 years, for the most part. Although it’s been a long time, I’ve tried to pretend I’m not too bothered, but over the past week or so, I’ve had trouble falling asleep and reflecting on the performances at night.

Mirror man, Mark Jefferies, admits he'll be wiping away tears during the performance
Mark Jefferies, the mirror man, admits he’ll be shedding tears during the Johannes Leonardo/Adidas performance.

Although men are much better at expressing both pain and joy these days, I don’t typically show too much emotion. And I’m confident that I’ll be able to get my eyes wet in the Principality Stadium despite my best efforts to explain why.

It has something to do with the style of my youth’s music and how a performance can make you feel emotional and transported back in time. From the numerous times you’ve seen the Gallaghers live with your best mate to the nights you’ve sung their anthems together, arms aloft, the album Oasis is the soundtrack of my early years. They flashed in your face as they absorbed the story of our lives.

It’s not bad for me to cry during the concert if I’m the only one, either at one point or another. We believe in one another, and we need one another. Noel and Liam sing along to that song. Did they always think that, even in their row’s deepest places? I’m hoping so.

Never is it too late to forgive and forget. Even if you’re a rock star. Noel and Liam has always been about me, whether you like them or not, whether you smile or snarl on stage.

Cardiff, let’s get it.

Rod Stewart says ‘it tore me to shreds’ as he speaks about marriage breakdown

Rod Stewart has opened up about his marriage to his second wife Rachel Hunter, and has claimed that she left him because she was “too young” when they tied the knot

Sir Rod Stewart says marriage split from Rachel Hunter ‘tore him to shreds’(Image: GETTY)

Sir Rod Stewart has candidly discussed the collapse of his marriage to his second wife, Rachel Hunter. The 80-year-old rock legend was first married to Alana Hamilton from 1979 to 1984, with whom he shares daughter Kimberly and son Sean. Following the end of this relationship, Rod tied the knot with ex-model Rachel, who was a whopping 26 years his junior.

When they said their vows, Rachel was just 21 and Rod was 45. A year later, they welcomed their daughter Renee, and son Liam followed soon after. It’s suggested that the ‘Maggie May’ singer met his current spouse, Penny Lancaster, merely a day after parting ways with Rachel in 1999.

Reminiscing about their initial encounter, he shared that Penny sought his autograph, which led him to ask her if she enjoyed dancing. “She was an incredible dancer, gorgeous, [and wearing] 6ft 4in heels,” he fondly remembered, during a chat with The Times.

Despite being instantly smitten with the Loose Women star, Rod confesses he was counselled to enjoy single life for a bit post his split from Rachel.

“There were six months between Rachel and Penny because my bass player, who had Penny’s number, wouldn’t give it to me,” he revealed to the newspaper.

“He said, ‘All you’re going to do now is s**g around’. And he was right, I had a splendid time in those six months.” Rod and Rachel officially ended their marriage in 2006, and a year later, he wed Penny, the mother of his two sons.

“Rachel left me because she was too young. My sister said I should never have married her in the first place, but it tore me to shreds,” he opened up.

Reflecting on his relationship with Penny, he added that she’s “got everything” he’s ever desired. Their union has now spanned 18 years, and the couple is still as close as ever. Last week, Penny showed her unwavering support as Rod took on the legends slot at Glastonbury’s iconic Pyramid stage.

Also showing their support were the couple’s sons Alastair, 19, and Aiden, 14, alongside Renee and Ruby, Rod’s daughter with ex-partner and model Kelly Emberg.

Before Rod’s performance at the music festival, he and Penny celebrated their 18th wedding anniversary in grand fashion.

To commemorate the occasion, they took a trip on the opulent Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, retracing the romantic stops from their engagement, wedding, and honeymoon journey.

It was in Paris where Rod proposed to Penny, before they exchanged vows two years later in Portofino, Italy, which was then followed by an indulgent honeymoon on board a luxury yacht along the Italian coast.
