Sacha Baron Cohen finally revealed on Howard Stern’s radio show the reason he backed out of playing Freddie Mercury in a Queen biopic. The remaining members of Queen wanted Freddie’s death to happen half-way through the film, and for the second half to depict what happened the band after. Sacha BC said no way, and that people would go and see the film in order to see Freddie firstly and foremost. He was such a colourful character, and so he respectfully backed away from the film citing “artistic differences”. Indeed.

 

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini-Tweedy-Cole and her new boyfriend Liam Payne went out for dinner last night, but not before calling the paparazzi. This is all getting very weird – there is a rumour circulating that it’s all an elaborate PR prank. Well it’s working! Although, they do look very good together. 

Poor aul John Goodman – nobody will let him play. He said on set of "Monuments Men" he tried to hang out with George Clooney and Matt Damon but they'd go out for cocktails and not invite him. Awh!

Also, Kristin Wiig completely blanked him at a party when he tried to go up and say hi.

Bill Murray was nice to him though, and they used to go on bike rides together. I knew Bill would be nice.
