French-Moroccan actress Nadia Farès, best known for her breakout role in Mathieu Kassovitz’s 2000 thriller The Crimson Rivers, has died at 57. Her daughters told Agence France-Presse she passed away on Friday, April 17, after being found unconscious in the swimming pool of a private gym in Paris on April 11. Witnesses and rescuers performed CPR before she was taken to Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital and placed in a medically induced coma; she later suffered a cardiac arrest. Prosecutors have opened an inquiry and said no sign of criminal activity has been identified so far. Born in Marrakesh in 1968 and raised in Nice, Farès built a career in French and international films and TV, with credits including War (2007), Netflix’s Marseille (2016–18) and the 2025 film Toujours possible. She had publicly discussed prior serious health issues, including brain surgery for an aneurysm in 2007 and several heart operations. Farès was due to make her directorial debut later this year. She is survived by her daughters, Cylia and Shana Chasman.

A confrontation between former world heavyweight David Haye and actor Adam Thomas has dominated coverage of I'm A Celebrity... South Africa after a Friday (April 17) episode showed Haye publicly criticising Thomas for opting out of a Bushtucker Trial because he was “not feeling well,” saying the actor was “dehydrated” and calling him “useless.” Adam, who has spoken publicly about living with psoriatic arthritis, later posted that Haye “broke” him during the pre-recorded series. Campmates and presenters reacted strongly: Ashley Roberts, Scarlett Moffatt and others said Haye went “too far,” while hosts Ant and Dec said his behaviour “crossed the line.” Over the weekend Adam urged kindness after receiving widespread support. On Monday’s (April 20) episode Haye became the second contestant eliminated in a twist in which Ashley Roberts and others chose who to save; Haye then picked Gemma Collins to leave with him. Haye has described his comments as banter and says he has apologised privately; the all‑star series — filmed in South Africa — concludes with a live final on April 24.

The long-awaited sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2 held its world premiere on April 20, 2026 at Lincoln Center in New York, reuniting original stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci. The event, streamed live on Disney+ and later made available on-demand, showcased an international press tour that has taken the cast to Mexico City, Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai and other cities ahead of the film’s May 1 theatrical release. Kenneth Branagh, Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux and newcomer Simone Ashley join the ensemble. Fashion dominated coverage: Streep wore a red Givenchy cape by Sarah Burton, Hathaway a custom Louis Vuitton gown by Nicolas Ghesquière, and Blunt a sculptural Schiaparelli piece; many outfits are being highlighted across fashion media. Streep said wardrobe and accessories featured in the film will be auctioned to benefit the Committee to Protect Journalists. Trade outlets detailed footwear and styling choices from WWD and ELLE while entertainment press promoted the Disney+ red carpet livestream and bundle deals. The sequel’s plot centers on Miranda Priestly navigating the decline of print media and a rivalry with Emily Charlton, now an advertising-powerhouse executive.

Alan Osmond, the eldest performing member of the 1970s pop group The Osmonds, has died at 76. Family spokespeople and local Utah outlets said he died at his home in Orem on the evening of April 20, 2026, with his wife Suzanne and their eight sons at his bedside. Born in Ogden in 1949, Alan rose to fame performing with his brothers on The Andy Williams Show and helped steer the group’s transition to international teen-pop stardom. He was a principal songwriter and composer for the band, credited on hits including “One Bad Apple” and the critically noted “Crazy Horses.” Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1987, Alan retired from performing but remained active as an advocate, speaker at MS events and a founder of charities such as the OneHeart Foundation and the Stadium of Fire celebration. He published a memoir in 2024 and is survived by his wife, eight sons, 30 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. The family has not released a formal cause of death beyond his long battle with illness.

Warner Bros. released the first teaser for Practical Magic 2 this week after a CinemaCon preview, reuniting Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman as the Owens sisters nearly 30 years after the 1998 original. Directed by Oscar-winner Susanne Bier and adapted from Alice Hoffman’s The Book of Magic, the sequel assembles returning veterans Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing alongside new cast members Joey King, Maisie Williams, Lee Pace, Xolo Maridueña and Solly McLeod. The teaser leans on callbacks — a Harry Nilsson needle drop and references to the Owens family curse and “midnight margaritas” — and hints the lineage and curse remain central. The studio lists a September 2026 theatrical release (outlets report Sept. 11 and Sept. 18). Behind the scenes, original supporting players have been left out or recast: Aidan Quinn says he was not asked to return and Evan Rachel Wood has publicly said she was not invited. Early social-media reaction ranges from enthusiastic nostalgia to criticism over casting choices and the trailer’s contemporary color grading.
