Broadway just lost a star.

Tony-winning theatre actor and Broadway star Gavin Creel, who appeared in Hair, Hello, Dolly, Into the Woods and more, died Monday at his home in Manhattan of “metastatic melanotic peripheral nerve sheath sarcoma”, his publicist confirmed to the New York Times. He was 48.

Metastatic melanotic peripheral nerve sheath sarcoma is a type of cancer.

Creel, a Broadway veteran of 20 years, got honoured with his first ever Tony in 2017, winning the award for best featured actor in a musical for Hello, Dolly, and before that was nominated for Hair in 2009 and for Thoroughly Modern Millie in 2002.

The actor also got himself a Grammy award in 2023 for best musical theatre album for the Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods.

Creel first stepped onto the Broadway stage in 2002 with Thoroughly Modern Millie, where his performance earned him his first Tony nomination and the chance to work alongside Sutton Foster. 

He later appeared in the original Chicago cast of Sondheim’s Road Show before making his Broadway return in the 2004 revival of La Cage aux Folles. In 2006, Creel made his West End debut as Bert in Mary Poppins.

Creel also has some TV credits under his name, like Eloise at the Plaza and its sequel, Eloise at Christmastime, Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure and American Horror Stories.

Oliver Hudson got candid on the mental health issues he faced in the past, and how his mother Goldie Hawn was a great help in overcoming them.

“In my 20s, I had a panic attack. I didn’t know what the hell it was,” Hudson, shared with Us Weekly on Friday, September 27, at the Goldie Hawn Foundation 20th Anniversary Gala with MindUP.

“It started off this year’s journey of self-discovery as to why I’m feeling this.”

Hudson mentioned that he started looking for answers from medical professionals after experiencing a panic attack.

He underwent several tests and spoke with doctors, who ultimately assured him that he was “fine.” However, he credited his mom, Goldie Hawn, for being his biggest support during his struggles with mental health.

“My mother was instrumental in helping me understand that because she went through it herself at the same age,” he explained.

“She was doing a TV show but dealing with her own s—, going back to her apartment, drinking tea. Cannot see anyone. She would throw up if she went on the sidewalks and [went] out in public.”

After getting to know all this, Hudson understood he had the same problem.

“I was able to take from her the wisdom that she was able to impart on me and utilize that in my — I wouldn’t call it recovery, but in my ability to get out of these feelings to the second part,” he told the outlet.

Ariana Grande has recently made shocking revelations about inappropriate intimations in her Nickelodeon scripts during her docuseries, Quiet On Set.

In a new interview with Vanity Fair, the singer confessed she pushed the memories aside but the docuseries opened up multiple allegations of improper conduct on Nickelodeon shows.

The documentary reflected on disturbing scenes that “sexualized” young stars, including those from Ariana’s own sitcoms, Sam & Cat and Victorious.

“You don’t remember some of it, and then it’s thrown into this compilation in this thing, and you’re like, “Wait, that happened? I can’t believe that!” she told the outlet.

Ariana stated, “The most important thing we can do is focus on making the working environment safer for all performers and artists—even musicians.”

While addressing challenges of fame, Ariana noted, “If you’re going to sign to a major label and your life’s going to change the way that mine did, there should be therapy in the contract.”

“You should have support on the mental side because it’s not normal,” pointed out the 27-year-old.

Ariana added, “Nothing can really prepare you for what comes with this amount of visibility.”

Meanwhile, the songstress and actress discussed about the series on Penn Badgley’s podcast Podcrushed earlier in June.

“A lot of people don’t have the support that they need to get through performing at that level at such a young age, but also dealing with some of the things that the survivors who have come forward…there’s not a word for how devastating that is to hear,” she explained.

Ariana believed, “I think that the environment needs to be made safer if kids are going to be acting, and I think there should be therapists, I think there should be parents allowed to be wherever they want to be.”

Madelyn Cline addressed her short-lived relationship with her ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson.

When asked how it feels to date someone whose love life is constantly followed by the internet, Cline, 26, told Nylon, “The jokes write themselves.”

In the feature released on Monday, September 30, Cline confirmed that she and Davidson, 30, ended their relationship earlier this year.

In September 2023, *Us Weekly* broke the news that Cline and Davidson were romantically involved.

According to a source, the Outer Banks actress and the comedian “grew close fairly quickly” and wanted to stay low-key about their relationship because they “assumed there would be a whole frenzy surrounding” it.

“[Madelyn and Pete] had hoped to remain low-key for a while, especially because Madelyn is a really private person,” the insider said. “But they’ve spent a lot of time together and have built a strong bond in a short period of time.”

The source also reported that the pair had a lot in common, saying, “Pete loves Madelyn’s dry sense of humour which he thinks is adorable because he’s the same way.”
