The Sopranos star’s daughter passed away at the age of 58. Sarah Francesca Chianese, the daughter of Dominic Chianese, passed away after battling a cancer battle, according to his family.

She had previously been diagnosed with glioblastoma, a malignant, cancerous brain tumor caused by astrocytes, which are more prevalent in glial cells.

On behalf of the family, a tribute read on a fan page reads, “Sarah Francesca Chianese, daughter of Dominic Chianese, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 15th, 2018.”

She was only 58 years old when she battled glioblastoma. Her father remained close by her side until the very end.

Sarah’s sister Rebecca said, “Sarah was a bright light in this world, she wanted everyone to have a happy life and smile when they think of her.”

Sarah Francesca Chianese’s daughter also wrote, “Eulogy for her. How can I express my mother, Sarah Francesca Chianese, in a meaningful way? I don’t have bad linguistic skills, either. My ABCs are mine. I have a good count.

“This is not a task that comes easy,” the author continues. There are guides, I’m sure there are. A quick Google search will reveal a number of clickbait articles. Easy methods, etc. Please excuse me because I’m going to wing it.

Dominic Jr., Sarah’s brother, stated in an interview that she will be remembered for “her kindness.” He claimed that this was “one of the best characteristics of people.”

He said, “She was dedicated to her craft, like a real artist,” before describing how her father remained with her until the very end. He continued, “I just want to let you know that my father was there to support her during her transition.” Both her and him both felt a connection.

Sarah’s son described her as “one of the most accomplished women I’ve ever known,” posting a picture to his mother’s Instagram page. She did it all, with unreal competence, whether it was reclaiming and restoring old barns, working in a law firm in her early 20s, dominating the Hudson Valley with her catering business in her late fifties, or dominating the Hudson Valley.

Her 94-year-old father, Dominic, is best known for his role as Tony’s Uncle Junior in the television series The Sopranos. The family’s technical leader, the character, served as a mentor.

The family’s obstinate and traditional leader, Junior, or Uncle June as he was known, was unwavering in the name of the series. Tony gave his uncle the power to run the show behind the scenes without using force to stop a civil war.

Dominic, who is renowned for playing Johnny Ola in The Godfather Part II, later made guest appearances in Boardwalk Empire and The Good Wife.

The likes of Donna Preston, Danny Beard, and Jack P. Shepherd were required to dress up as cats while in the house as part of a special episode of Celebrity Big Brother tonight.

Donna Preston issued a warning to co-star Danny Beard on Celebrity Big Brother in tonight’s episode. It came amid the latest task on the ITV show which saw the housemates dress up in cat costumes in the hope of receiving a reward.

The housemates were given nine lives as part of the task and losing any would risk forfeiting the prize. Big Brother managed to get two of them to lose a life each in the Diary Room by offering them the chance to open a mystery box.

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK winner Danny and Coronation Street star Jack P. Shepherd both opted to open the box, whilst comedian Donna chose not to. Once opened, a message inside the box read: “Curiosity killed the cat.”

After opening the box, Danny expressed disappointment that the house had lost that way. Then they inquired about asking Big Brother if they could give a fictional co-star a task in order to find out why he had been in the Diary Room.

Due to the group’s commitment to spend the day as cats, they made the decision to let Donna know that Big Brother wanted her to spend 45 minutes on all fours. Danny said, “You’re not going to like this, you’re not going to like this.” I’ve been asked to choose a housemate to spend 45 minutes with them.

They made an offer to Donna, who later accepted. Later, it was revealed that she spent more than 20 minutes scurrying around on the reality TV program. Sometimes she was seen requesting something in the garden.

She made a point of making fun of Danny when she said, “If you are pulling my leg, you need to sleep with one eye open, I’m telling ya,” despite the fact that something was up. Later, Donna learned that her roommate had been “winding her up.”

What would you do if I was just winding you up, Danny asked Donna shortly before admitting that they had made up the situation. She responded, “Are you joking? ” Are you trying to make me feel good? Then, her co-star confirmed that they were.

Danny apologized to Donna and said, “Love you, Donna. Donna responded by explaining the trick to her and then discussing it with Big Brother in the Diary Room.

Donna told Big Brother about the experience, saying, “Danny said you had set him a challenge to ask another housemate to be on all fours for 45 minutes, and he chose me.” She later said, “To be fair,” and that she agreed, saying, “To be fair, I said I don’t mind because I do it on a Friday night.”

Donna responded by saying she had faith in her co-star when asked if she had believed them. She responded, “I did believe Danny. I don’t believe I have any reason to believe Danny. But I’m doing it now.

The housemates were later informed that they had won the task despite losing some lives. Big Brother teased that as a reward, they would be invited to a karaoke party.

Big Brother on ITV, ITVX, STV, and STV Player airs on Sunday night at 10 p.m. The following night, Late & Live will be broadcast live on ITV2 and ITVX at 11 p.m.

Johnny Rotten, a punk rock star, has revealed he wants to date Taylor Swift despite the Swift fans’ harsh criticism of the “incredibly dull” singer.

Sex Pistols icon Johnny Rotten has shocked fans by revealing he wants to duet with none other than pop megastar Taylor Swift – just months after branding her “incredibly dull”.

The punk legend, now performing under his real name John Lydon, admitted to The Mirror that despite once dismissing Taylor’s music as “swishy ballroom-gown” pop destined for Vegas, he now appreciates her success and wouldn’t mind teaming up.

“Those that make that kind of music, like Taylor, do it very well,” John, 69, said. She ought to confront me aggressively. Imagine the “duet” being played. Fans who recall his most recent criticisms have been enthralled by the reversal. However, it’s not his first mute that he’s been looking for.

He recalled once writing a bizarre song about freeing parrots from the Amazon while attempting to write a duet with Kate Bush. She said, “I can’t sing that. F*** off. ‘ He laughed, noting that it was not her exact words.

John is about to begin a 40-date tour titled This Is Not The Last Tour, which will begin in Bristol in May, after fronting Public Image Ltd (PiL) since the Sex Pistols disbanded. His first significant return to the road came after his 44-year wife, Nora Forster, passed away in 2023 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s.

Throughout her illness, John was her devoted carer at their Malibu home, finding strength in the memory of his own childhood struggle with meningitis, which left him with temporary amnesia at age seven.

He said, “I could look back and think, Wow, that served a purpose.” Nora’s memory would come back on her own, and I fully grasped how crucial that was.

John’s grief was made even worse by John’s best friend and manager, John “Rambo” Stevens, who passed away suddenly just months later. Despite the heartache, John has managed to maintain both his wit and sense of the absurd.

What was my favorite purchase for Nora? a Japanese toilet that used a bidet to spray hot water. She adored it. He deadpanted, “I’ve got hemorrhoids from it now.”

Hawaii, which was submitted for Ireland’s 2024 Eurovision bid, was also inspired by his love for Nora. Although it didn’t make the cut, John bravely performed it live on The Late Late Show before giving in during the broadcast. It’s too painful, I’m not sure if I’ll ever do it again.

John is now finding solace in painting a portrait of him and Nora that he admits he may never complete. “I may be Johnny Rotten to some people, but I’m actually John Lydon, a much more loving person.”

Despite his raw vulnerability, he hasn’t lost his bite. He’s taken swipes at Lady Gaga, the Rolling Stones, and even his former Pistols bandmates, who recently reformed without him, enlisting Frank Carter as their new frontman. John dismissed their reunion gigs as “karaoke”.

Yet he remains philosophical about his journey – from punk rebel banned by the BBC for God Save The Queen, to a widower with citizenship in the UK, US, and Ireland. He jokes about having to be “sponsored” by his Indian accountant to prove his Britishness when renewing his passport, a twist of irony not lost on the man who once spat fury at the establishment.

Should I be buried somewhere? Is that where I belong? I’ve lost two of the people I once loved, and I’m now the audience. It’s my definition of “family values.”

Regarding that Swift duet? There have been more dangerous things. Who would have imagined that the most well-known anti-hero of punk would end up praising parrot rescue missions, designer toilets, and singing with America’s sweetheart in a dream?

Three years after the heartbreaking end of her engagement to Eddie Boxshall, Denise van Outen is said to have found love again after forming a friendship with a businessman named Adam Butler.

According to reports that Denise van Outen is attempting to start a new romance, she may have a wonderful summer ahead of her. The 50-year-old TV icon had a rough marriage, splitting with singer Lee Mead in 2015, six years after getting married, and then being sucked into by Gogglebox fiance Eddie Boxshall in 2022.

Her most recent relationship, which ended peacefully in 2023 with a wealthy property developer named Jimmy Barba, came after several months of dating. However, it is reported that she has been out with businessman Adam Butler on numerous occasions.

The Big Breakfast legend has been enjoying some sun in the Maldives while on a work trip because she has been DJing there, and it is thought that Adam has accompanied her for some fun in the sun. Last month, the pair are said to have had a romantic dinner at the Akira Black restaurant in London.

After splitting from Jimmy in November 2023, Denise reportedly had been enjoying her single life but is now happy to be back in the dating business. According to some, Adam’s success in his own right is believed to be helping the relationship.

Denise loved being single and has been so busy working on her TV shows and DJing, but she hasn’t had much time with Adam.

They went public with a date last month at the Mandarin Oriental in London, Akira Black. Adam and Denise then took her to a DJ gig in the Maldives.

According to the source, Adam has been assisting Denise with her broken heart and they are enjoying life together. She continued, “She is in a great place in her life. They compliment one another so well because her career is on the rise and Adam is a successful businessman.

“All of Denise’s friends are thrilled she has found someone like Adam, he treats her like a queen.” The Mirror has contacted Denise’s spokesperson for comment.

Denise has been working and staying at the Velassaru Maldives resort – which describes itself as a private five star island resort. On Friday, the TV star took to Instagram and shared a highlights reel of her time in the sun-soaked hotel.

Thank you for the memories, she wrote beside the footage. This stunning resort is incomparable. Although I was hired to play DJ for a beach party, I was given an extra day to travel to the island because I adored it.

They have it all, with everything from the best cocktails to the most luxurious spa to the best food! Special thanks to CJ and Sharon for organizing my trip. I’m eager to go back. Bonus: This island is only 25 minutes by boat from Malé Airport, she added. It’s so simple.

Jimmy and Denise split up over the course of a year, but the couple said it was a mutual choice. We have made a decision to end our relationship, Denise said in November 2023, “But we are still close friends and our children are still in touch.”

The pair had previously been introduced by All Saints singer Shaznay Lewis, who was also a close friend of Denise’s, who reportedly felt relieved that she didn’t need to vet him in advance. Eddie Boxshall, the star of Gogglebox, admitted he had sexted other women behind his back, and Jimmy helped Denise move on.

She previously admitted that her relationships were difficult, but with Jimmy’s level of energy and his level of maturity, it was worth it. Sincerely, I think I’m in a nice, happy, and positive place. Nothing that I wouldn’t change.

Celebrity Big Brother fans have been left far from impressed by comments made by former contestant Tiffany Pollard on the ITV reality show’s spin-off, Late & live

Celebrity Big Brother star Tiffany Pollard has found herself in hot water over her latest comments. The New York-native reality TV star, 43, has been a regular guest on the ITV spin-off show, Late & Live. However, her outlandish behaviour has led to complaints.

Tiffany hasn’t held back with her views of this year’s contestants, often giving controversial opinions. And it’s two in particular that have caused viewers to share their discontent with the show’s big bosses.

Tiffany, who is best known for appearing on Flavor of Love with Flavor Flav, was pulled up for her comments regarding housemates Jack P Shepherd and Donna Preston. During her appearance, she said: “But she [Donna] knows how to order a cheese pizza!” She went on to call Donna “plus size.”

Host AJ Odudu furiously hit back: “So what?” Tiffany replied: “Because she’s plus sized, she’d know how to order my dinner!” Meanwhile, co-host Will Best commented: “We want her there because she is very funny and I personally think she’s a great housemate.”

The comments have not gone down well with viewers who flocked to social media to share their views. One user on X, formerly known as Twitter, shared a complaint email they had sent to ITV.

It read: “For the second night in a row since ‘Tiffany’ has been on the Celebrity Big Brother Late and Live show, I have found her vocabulary completely inappropriate. 15th April she referred to Donna as ‘plus size’ in a derogatory manner. 16th April she referenced size of a man’s penis.”

The user’s complaint went on: “This is completely unacceptable and she should be removed from the panel and a formal apology made by ITV. I look forward to your response.”

She wasn’t the only person hitting out at Tiffany’s language either. Another user wrote online: “Did that Tiffany just fat shame that audience member how is this allowed.”

When another user replied to say Tiffany had also made a comment about Donna, the original poster said: “Absolutely disgusting how she’s getting away with it.”

Another post read: “I have no idea why people seem to love Tiffany Pollard, she seems like a loud vile human being. Fat shaming someone but can some how get away with it because she just shouts at everyone.” ITV has a viewer services FAQs page readily available on their site to help with anyone who has an issue with any lines on any of their shows.

Earlier in the week, Tiffany also appeared on This Morning. During her segment, she made a brutal dig about Gemma Collins’ weight, leaving the hosts stunned as she reignited her feud with the former TOWIE star. The duo had appeared on 2016’s version of Celebrity Big Brother together.

During Tiffany’s chat with Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary, talk turned to her own time in the house and her feud with Gemma. The pair seemed firm friends at first before things turned sour. Discussing an incident from their time in the house regarding shoes, Tiffany stunned the hosts as she made a swipe at Gemma’s weight.

She said: “I was like ‘Honey I would’ve given you those shoes back’ because her big everything knocked stones out of those shoes. I did look at those shoes and examine them, they were missing so many diamonds girl she could’ve kept them.”

Alison then asked: “Are you friends now? Have you made up? Do you DM each other?” Tiffany admitted: “We will never be that close Alison but what she did say when I left the house, she said ‘Well done.'”

Mickey Rourke, a famous Big Brother star, claimed in surprise that secret service agents had visited him because of remarks he made about President Donald Trump.

Mickey Rourke sensationally claimed he was visited by the secret service due to comments he made about President Donald Trump. The 72-year-old Hollywood star made the surprise comments while in the Big Brother house earlier this month.

One of the 13 original contestants on .mirror.co.uk/all-about/itv” target=”_blank” aria-label=”ITV’sLink opens in a new tab.” tabindex=”0″>ITV’s hit reality show, .mirror.co.uk/all-about/mickey-rourke” target=”_blank” aria-label=”Mickey,Link opens in a new tab.” tabindex=”0″>Mickey, who has appeared in renowned films like The Wrestler and Iron Man 2, was a member of the 2025 season. The American star was reportedly offered a sizable sum by show executives to entice him into the house, but he was ultimately kicked out after a number of unconstitutional events.

Mickey, who was present in the home, however, revealed some unexpected details about his personal life, including his claim that secret service agents once arrived at his door as a result of remarks he made about President Trump. He claimed this while discussing his decision to nominate Sir Michael Fabricant, a fellow celeb contestant, for eviction during the initial round of nominations.

He is a politician, Mickey said. On the one hand, they’re telling you what they’re going to do and what they’re not going to do in general, in politics. He engages in politics, which isn’t very true and trustworthy, in my opinion.

The Secret Service approached me and said, “I got myself in some hot water while I was in the United States making some comments about a particular person that I’m not gonna mention, but it was no laughing matter.”

His revelation came after he opened up during an interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored in 2022. He had shared a picture of the Statue of Liberty in tears.

Mickey explained that the United States of America is now known as the Divided States of America, and there is a major reason for that because the Secret Service doesn’t need another visit.

Mickey responded to Piers’ question about why the secret service had contacted him, saying, “Take a wild guess,” before confirming that the contact was a result of comments he made about Trump.

Mickey Rourke was removed from the Celebrity Big Brother house last Saturday after a string of incidents – including the fact he reduced co-star Ella Rae Wise to tears after making a sexualised comment about her. Big Brother told the star: “Mickey, Big Brother needs to speak to you about your behaviour. Earlier today in a disagreement with Chris, your language and behaviour was threatening and aggressive. Big Brother does not tolerate threatening language or behaviour. In addition, you have used inappropriate sexual language to Ella.”

Mickey responded, “Oh, I’m not aware of that, but okay.” And then Big Brother continued, “This language may offend your fellow housemates and may offend the viewers.” Not once has Big Brother had to speak with you about your offensive and inappropriate language.

Mickey responded, “Yes sir. I made a mistake. I’m sorry. I apologize. I crossed the line, you see, but I can’t take it back. And I accept accountability for my actions. Because I lost my temper, and I’ve tried to control it my entire life, I regret my actions.

I feel bad for having to lose it for a brief period of time. 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 for others getting upset.

Then, according to Big Brother, “Big Brother has no choice but to ask you to leave the Big Brother house because your language and behavior today are seriously unacceptable.”

Mickey said, “I blame myself, I know it was my bad,” in a final comment. I know I have a short fuse, and I’m aware that I cause a lot of people’s upset, I know. I apologize for that. I feel bad about turning so hot. You are aware of what I did wrong when I crossed the line. I guess I’m still working, as they say. You know, I just want to pack my bags and leave. I was not chosen, but I actually wanted to leave yesterday.

It has been reported that following his premature exit, Mickey’s reported £500,000 payment to take part in the ITV show was slashed to just £50,000. There have even been reports that the Hollywood star plans to sue the show makers to receive his full fee.
