Mac Miller 'devastated' by Ariana Grande's engagement

Ariana Grande's engagement to Pete Davidson has reportedly left ex-boyfriend Mac Miller "devastated". A source close to Miller told Hollywood Life that the 26-year-old rapper is upset over Grande's engagement to Davidson whom she started dating in May. "Mac is devastated that Ariana may have become engaged to her new boyfriend, he doesn't want to believe it," the source said. "He is still broken hearted over their split and he can't imagine how she could move on so quickly, or fall in love already. It hurts Mac to think Ariana is considering marrying someone she barely knows. Mac loved Ariana for years, and it is like a punch in the gut to him that she would agree to marry someone new, after only dating them for a few weeks, and so soon after breaking up with him. Mac is crushed," the source added. Grande and Miller, who had been dating for two years, ended their relationship this May. Since then, Grande has been dating Davidson, an actor and comedian, and the two confirmed their ...

Rose McGowan defends Anthony Bourdain's choice to commit suicide

Actor-activist Rose McGowan has defended celebrated chef Anthony Bourdain's choice to commit suicide, saying taking one's life may be a horrible choice but it is a personal one. Bourdain, 61, died of suicide last week while he was in France filming an episode of his Emmy-winning CNN food and travel programme. In a letter by McGowan, who penned the lengthy note on behalf on the globetrotting chef-writer's girlfriend actor Asia Argento, the "Charmed" alum said people should not blame him or her friend for his suicide. "I know so many around the world thought of Anthony Bourdain as a friend and when a friend dies, it hurts... Many of these people who lost their 'friend' are wanting to lash out and blame. You must not sink to that level. Suicide is a horrible choice, but it is that person's choice," she writes. "Top Gun" star Val Kilmer had called Bourdain "selfish" for leaving his friends and fans alone in the world. Talking about Argento's relationship with the chef, the actor said it ..

It's still a man's world in movies, says Barbra Streisand

Veteran filmmaker-actor Barbra Streisand believes it is still hard for women directors to survive in Hollywood. The 76-year-old actor, who made her directorial debut in 1983 with "Yentl" and also won the best director Golden Globe for it, said people in the film industry should let women take the lead more often. "In the acting world, female directors are having a hard time getting jobs. When I made 'Yentl', my first directorial job, it was like, 'You're going to direct it? You mean an actress can direct it? Actresses can be fiscally responsible for the budget?' "In other words, it was difficult. It's still a man's world, basically, in movies," Streisand said during a conversation with Jamie Foxx at Netflix FYSEE event for her special, "Barbra: The Music... the Mem'ries...the Magic". Mentioning several films, including "Yentl" and "Up the Sandbox", in which she plays headstrong women who desire more than they are allowed, the singer said the philosophy to always seek more was with her
