Jake Gyllenhaal looked handsome while attending a GMA interview.

The handsome 43-year-old – who recently spoke about potentially playing Batman – arrived at the New York City studio on Tuesday morning to promote his upcoming reboot of the classic 1989 Patrick Swayze action film Road House.

Since he’s starring in the retelling of the ’80s classic, he undoubtedly took some fashion notes from the era when he wore a gray double-breasted pinstripe blazer with a huge lapel.

He added even more retro flare when he paired the outerwear with light blue jeans, a light blue shirt and black leather dress shoes.

His short brown locks were combed to the side and elegantly tousled, while he sported a full beard.

Jake Gyllenhaal looked handsome while attending a GMA interview

The handsome 43-year-old - who recently spoke about possibly playing Batman - arrived at the New York City studio on Tuesday morning to promote his upcoming reboot of the classic 1989 Patrick Swayze action film Road House.

The handsome 43-year-old – who recently spoke about possibly playing Batman – arrived at the New York City studio on Tuesday morning to promote his upcoming reboot of the classic 1989 Patrick Swayze action film Road House.

On the program, he was asked by host Michael Strahan if he felt pressure to fill the shoes of the late great Swayze.

Jake responded, “I mean, I knew Patrick, I worked with him on the movie Donnie Darko. He was always so kind and loving to me. From the very beginning, he and his wife Lisa were always so supportive and so I didn’t feel any pressure, but I felt a responsibility to him.

“It’s an honor, it’s a cult classic, so many fans of the film, but we also did it in a very different way.”

Swayze died in 2009 at just 57 years old, less than two years after being diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer.

The remake debuted on March 8 as the opening film at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas.

This comes as Hollywood writer Lance Hill recently sued Amazon.com to halt the upcoming remake of the 1989 film Road House, arguing that the film infringes on his rights in the original’s screenplay.

Lance, 81, said in the lawsuit in federal court in California that Amazon was never granted a license to remake his screenplay after reclaiming his copyright on it.

He requested an unspecified amount of monetary damages and an injunction to restrain Amazon from distributing the film without a new license.

Since he's starring in the retelling of the '80s classic, he undoubtedly took some fashion notes from the era when he wore a gray double-breasted pinstripe blazer with a huge lapel.

A spokesperson for Amazon MGM Studios said the lawsuit was “completely without merit.”

Hill’s attorney, Marc Toberoff, said major studios must “respect the fundamental rights and artistry of creators on whose sweat and toil their empires are built.”

According to the lawsuit, Hill wrote the Road House screenplay in 1986 and transferred his rights to the film producer United Artists later that year.

U.S. copyright law allows artists to terminate transfers and reclaim their rights after decades under certain circumstances. Hill told the court that he notified Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, owner of United Artists, in 2021 that he was reclaiming his rights to the screenplay.

MGM reportedly responded that Hill could not reclaim the copyright.

Amazon acquired MGM in March 2022. Hill said he got his copyright back last November and that Amazon set a deadline to finish the film the day before the termination took effect.

Hill said Amazon took “extreme measures” to meet the deadline, including using artificial intelligence to recreate actors’ voices during a Screen Actors Guild strike, but that Amazon did not finish the film until January.

On the program, he was asked by host Michael Strahan if he felt pressure to fill the shoes of the late great Swayze

Amazon’s spokesperson denied that the remake uses AI instead of actors’ voices.

Hill frequently used the pseudonym David Lee Henry in Hollywood and is best known for the cult film Road House.

Henry is credited with creating the story for the original Road House and shares co-writing of the screenplay with Hilary Henkin, 71.

Set in the Florida Keys, the remake is directed by Doug Liman, whose filmography includes Swingers, The Bourne Identity and Mr. & Mrs. Smith includes.

Road House will debut on Amazon’s Prime Video streaming platform on March 21.

Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama has died at the age of 68 due to a hemorrhage near his brain, his studio said Thursday.

Toriyama died on March 1 due to the medical condition known as acute subdural hematoma, the Dragon Ball studio said in a statement on social media.

The Dragon Ball studio said it was their “deep regret” that Toriyama “still had several works in the middle of creation with great enthusiasm,” as “he would have many more things to achieve.”

“However, he left many manga titles and works of art to this world. We hope that Akira Toriyama’s unique world of creation will remain loved by all for a long time to come.”

The Dragon Ball comic was released in 1984 and became a huge success, with spin-off films, games and cartoons.

“We hope that Akira Toriyama’s unique world of creation will remain loved by everyone for a long time to come.”

The studio said that “a funeral service was held with his family and very few relatives,” asking for privacy for his family and for fans to refrain from visiting, sending flowers, gifts or other offers.

No decision has yet been made on a “memorial event” in Toriyama’s memory, the studio said, adding that it will provide further information as it becomes available.

“We sincerely thank you for your understanding and support, as always,” the studio said in closing the statement.

Toriyama had also been busy working on video games in the anime genre, including Chrono Trigger and Dragon Quest, according to the outlet IGN.

Toriyama was rumored to be working on a Dragon Ball Z spin-off called Dragon Ball Daima, focusing on the characters Goku and Vegeta.

At New York Comic Con 2023 last fall, Dragon Ball Daima executive producer Akio Iyoku said on a panel that Toriyama had been “very involved beyond his normal capabilities” in working on the details of the high-profile project.

Iyoku said Toriyama had planned “all new episodes for the storyline, so look forward to the start of the series,” which will be released this fall.

Toriyama was born on April 5, 1955 in Nagoya, Japan and began his career by submitting his work to Kodansha’s Weekly Shōnen Magazine, according to THR.

He was first published in 1978 with a comic called Wonder Island, based on an ex-World War II kamikaze pilot who was stranded on a place called Wonder Island. The following year he released a sequel titled Wonder Island 2.

Toriyama enjoyed early success with the manga Dr. Slump, which would serialize Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1980-1984.

Dr. Slump was set in a location called Penguin Village, which according to THR focused on a female robot and her creator.

The breakout success sold more than 35 million copies and would be adapted into an animated TV series from Toei Animation between 1981 and 1986.

Meghan Markle has become somewhat famous for dumping friends… Jessica MulroneyDavid and Victoria Beckham and her Suits co-stars to name a few.

The Duchess of Sussex’s name has even been used in the Urban Dictionary – an online lexicon of slang – to describe ‘abandoning someone or something after they have contributed to your life in a meaningful way’, calling the action cruel labeled as ‘Markled’.

The most famous ‘Markled’ is her father Thomas, 79, after he sold paparazzi photos of himself preparing for his daughter’s wedding.

Even stylist Jessica Mulroney, Meghan’s former ‘Best Friend Forever’, whose children were in the Sussexes’ wedding party, has fallen by the wayside.

Since Jessica became embroiled in a racist feud with a social media influencer in 2020, she has not been photographed in public with Meghan.

But she’s not the only best friend to have fallen out with the Duchess of Sussex; Prince Harry’s wife and her childhood best friend Ninaki Priddy reportedly fell out over Meghan’s treatment of her first husband Trevor Engelson.

Ninaki was a bridesmaid at Meghan’s first wedding in 2011 in Jamaica, and the two were inseparable from their first days in Hollywood’s private Little Red School House, when they were two years old.

They then moved on together at the age of 11 to Immaculate Heart all-girls school in Los Angeles, where their extraordinary sisterly bond ultimately lasted 31 years.

But the couple decided to go their separate ways after Ninaki disapproved of the way Meghan split with Trevor.

The Duchess reportedly started dating dashing celebrity chef Cory Vitiello, who also lives in Toronto, in 2014, a few months after her divorce from Trevor.

“I tried to get details from her, but she wouldn’t tell me,” Ninaki told The Daily Mail in 2017. “What came to light after Trevor and I spoke ended my friendship with Meghan. I think everyone who knew them both was in shock.”

Ninaki explained how she spoke to Trevor a month after the divorce in 2013, insisting he would have ‘walked the earth to make their marriage work’.

Meghan was based in Toronto filming the hit US legal drama Suits, while film producer Trevor lived in LA during their marriage.

‘I don’t think she gave him enough chances. “I think there was an element of ‘out of sight, out of mind’ for Meghan,” Ninaki said.

“The way she handled it, Trevor definitely had the rug pulled out from under him. He was injured.’

Ninaki talked about how there was ‘Meghan Before Fame and Meghan After Fame’, with the then actress ‘turning down lunch with us because she said she would be recognised’ after just two seasons of Suits.

She said, “Maybe she had started to change before, but I refused to see it. The tone of her voice, her mannerisms, the way she laughed no longer seemed real to me.

‘…I felt like if I questioned her behavior I would be left out. Sometimes the truth isn’t always what you want, right?

‘Her time became more and more important. If she was in town, she would want you to drop everything to see her. If I was busy it would be, ‘Why don’t you want to see me? I’m here. Let chill!”

“There were instances where I felt like she was given a sense of entitlement by being on the show.”

She explained how the duo started talking less and less to each other – and after her conversation with Trevor about the divorce, Ninaki tried to talk to Meghan, but she “wouldn’t confide in me.”

‘It was clear to me that she was no longer the friend I grew up with. She had a new circle of friends.”

Ninaki added: “All I can say now is that I think Meghan was calculated – very calculated – in the way she dealt with people and relationships.

“She’s very strategic in the way she cultivates circles of friends. Once she decides that you are not part of her life, she can be very cold. It’s this closure mechanism that she has. There is nothing to negotiate. She made her decision and that’s it.’

Ninaki recalled her close friendship with the Duchess, saying it was “always Niki and Meg.” We were so close that we came as two.”

She added: “We were both daughters of honor in each other’s house. We were like family. We had the kind of love you have for a sister. The end of our friendship was like death.

‘I mourned it for a long time. Even now I pass a magazine stand and see a face staring back at me that was such a big part of my life.”

Another of Meghan’s former BFFs is Canadian stylist Jessica Mulroney, 43, who met the Duchess of Sussex, 42, on the set of Suits in Toronto.

After Meghan met Prince Harry and moved to Britain, the couple remained extremely close.

However, their friendship appeared to cool in 2020 when Jessica became embroiled in a social media firestorm in which she was accused of demonstrating “white privilege” in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement – ​​and they haven’t been seen together since.

Lifestyle blogger Sasha Exeter called out Jessica Mulroney, who “took offense” to a “generic call to action” post Sasha shared about the Black Lives Matter movement.

In a follow-up video, Sasha said: ‘What happened next was a series of very problematic behavior and antics […]

“I am by no means calling Jess a racist, but what I will say is this: she is very aware of her wealth, perceived power and privilege because of the color of her skin and that, my friends, temporarily gave her confidence. to provide for my living in writing. A textbook example of white privilege, in my personal opinion.’

Following the blogger’s claims, Jessica issued three public apologies, but she still faced repercussions and was abandoned by numerous television networks.

DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that ABC had cut ties with her, confirming that Jessica would not return to her occasional role as a fashion contributor on Good Morning America.

Canadian TV network CTV also cut ties with the stylist, revealing it would be pulling all episodes of her wedding-themed reality TV show I Do Redo from its platform.

Despite their close relationship, insiders claimed the Duchess had permanently cut ties with Jessica after becoming embroiled in a racing feud with the influencer.

An insider told Page Six that the duo’s relationship was already on the rocks because Meghan felt like Jessica was “trying to turn the friendship into a career.”

“The white privilege row has really given Meghan the excuse she was waiting for to cut Jess off for good,” the source said. “I don’t know what the turning point was, but Jess has been on the run for a while.”

In September 2020, Jessica addressed the rumors of a rift between her and the Duchess of Sussex.

She wrote on her Instagram Stories: ‘I’m going to tell this once and for all. Meghan and I are family. She is the nicest friend and comes to see me every day.’

Six months later, Jessica shared a photo to an Instagram Story of the flowers she received from Meghan on her 41st birthday, writing, “LUCKIEST FRIEND XXXX, THX MM.”

However, the following year it became increasingly clear to fans that the friendship between Meghan and Jessica had soured.

In June 2021, the mother of three posted a cryptic quote to her Instagram Story, saying, “Life changes. You lose love. You lose friends. You lose pieces of yourself that you never thought would be gone.

‘And then, without even realizing it, those pieces come back. New love comes in. Better friends will come. And a stronger, wiser you stares back into the mirror.”

The following year, Jessica posted a photo of a sign that read, “You’re not too sensitive. You’re not overreacting. If it hurts you, it hurts you.”

She captioned the post: “I wish I would have seen this a long time ago. I hope it makes a difference in your day too.’

Since then, Jessica has continued to post cryptic messages on social media, including one in which she told her followers that she is “detachment strong.”

Ms Riley was attacked while jogging on February 22. She studied nursing at Augusta University after attending the University of Georgia until May.

He continued: “Laeken was special. She was a gift to all who knew her.”

Jose Antonio Ibarra, 26, a migrant from Venezuela who entered the United States illegally in September 2022, was charged with her murder in a case that immediately entered the bitter national debate over immigration. He was staying at an apartment complex less than a mile from the University of Georgia intramural fields, where Ms. Riley’s body was found near a wooded running trail.

.

In lieu of flowers, Ms. Riley’s family requested donations that would be used to cover funeral costs, establish a scholarship in her name and establish a foundation that would focus on women’s safety and homicide awareness . Red rubber bracelets reading “Laken Hope Riley Foundation” were distributed to those attending the funeral service.

As of Friday afternoon, nearly $180,000 had been raised.

St. Patrick’s Day is an excuse for silliness. My mother is Irish and on March 17, like many, I will raise a glass to the man who rid the Emerald Isle of snakes. But that’s my only knowledge about Ireland’s patron saint.

So I decided to explore the Saint Patrick’s Way, an 82-mile hiking trail from Armagh to Downpatrick in Northern Ireland.

I start with a Guinness in Rafferty’s Bar.

“You know St. Patrick was part of your destiny,” the bartender says, adding calmly. ‘English.’

‘English?’

St. Patrick was born in Roman Britain, kidnapped by Irish pirates and sold into slavery before fleeing to France, where he studied religion and eventually returned to Ireland as a missionary.

One of his first converts was Chieftain Daire, who gave him land to build a church on a hill outside Armagh.

The Saint Patrick’s Way starts at St Patrick’s Cathedral of the Church of Ireland. I will see many more churches bearing his name.

They’re like Murphy’s bars, but without the Guinness.

The route winds through the orchards of Armagh, a source of tangy cider and crisp apple pies, before passing through the Bainbridge linen-weaving center and along the Newry Canal.

From Newry to 18th-century Rostrevor I walk along country lanes with views of sparkling Carlingford Lough.

Located on the coast, Rostrevor is the birthplace of Robert Ross, the British major general who burned the White House during the 1814 war between Britain and the US.

It was also a favorite spot of Belfast-born CS Lewis, whose inspiration for Narnia was the snow-capped Morne Mountains, providing a backdrop to the city.

In Kilbroney Park I notice that I am not the only one looking for the cupboard door, the starting point of a Narnia Trail through the forest.

When I get to the lamppost, a little girl asks, “Have you seen Mr. Tumnus?”

I’m going towards the mountains. These imposing masses of slate and Silurian grauwacke (a coarse sandstone) are where Saint Patrick converted the local mountain people.

Wild, windy and wet: this part of the route requires good navigation skills, but you don’t have to fear snakes.

Along the way, Lizzie passes Tollymore Forest (photo), known as the setting in Game Of Thrones on TV

A hiker I met at the top of Butter Mountain said Patrick never finished one. It was a metaphor for cleansing Ireland of its pagan ways.

I go through the beautiful beech Tollymore Forest, known as the setting in Game Of Thrones, to the seaside resort of Newcastle. I know a real pilgrim eats potatoes, but why settle for langoustines, turbot and plaice on the menu?

The next day I continued to Down Cathedral, in Downpatrick, where the saint is buried under a large slab of granite with the single word ‘Patrick’ on it.

At the nearby Saint Patrick Center I learn that Patrick was never officially canonized.

So the patron saint of Ireland was neither Irish nor a saint, nor did he drive away snakes! What he did do was change the course of the island’s history.

Without the return of Saint Patrick, it might have remained the pagan and inhospitable place that the Romans did not consider worth conquering.

The path is a walk through the history he created and through an area of ​​beautiful landscapes. To be sure, that is an excuse to raise a glass to Saint Patrick on March 17.

Palworld’s numbers so far have blown away any expectations from Pocketpair, the small studio behind the game.

Just a month after its release, Palworld was a huge success, with 25 million people signing up to play worldwide.

To celebrate the massive success of Palworld, Xbox is giving away a Palworld-themed console.

The special edition device is an Xbox Series S that has been customized with artwork from the game.

This console also comes with four controllers with four different Palworld designs in yellow, blue, green and pink.

Palworld can be played with up to four people in multiplayer, which is probably why the brand’s Series S comes with four controllers.

An additional bonus is that the winner will receive three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

Xbox has valued the console bundle at around $500/£400, so it’s a huge saving for whoever grabs it.

One person can pick up the entire bundle for free by following the official Xbox Twitter account.

For a chance to win, they must then retweet the promotional post with the hashtag #PalworldXboxSweepstakes.

Registration closes on March 17, 2024, so people have about a month to participate.
