The Doctor Who star shares five kids with his wife of 13 years, Georgia Tennant

David Tennant and his mini-me daughter, Olive, made a rare joint appearance at the opening night of Paddington: The Musical.

On Sunday, Nov. 30, the 54-year-old actor arrived at London's Savoy Theatre on the West End to witness the life-size Paddington bear in action. The Doctor Who star walked the red carpet in a tan sweater, brown trousers and a plaid overcoat, while his daughter, 14, was the spitting image of her father, donning a button-up blouse, a black mini skirt and a pair of black cowboy boots.

In addition to Olive, David shares four other children with his wife of 13 years, Georgia Tennant: Ty, 23, Wilfred, 12, Doris, 10, and Birdie, 5.

While David often opts to keep his family life out of the spotlight, he told The Guardian in July 2020 that he and Georgia are "not quite as squeamish as we were." After all, Ty, who has played roles in House of the Dragon and War of the Worlds, and Olive are both budding stars themselves.

"I don't think we'll ever be sharing pictures of our children in Hello! magazine, but I think a lot of that comes from an insecurity about being uncovered or invaded," the Good Omens actor explained at the time. "The longer you're together, the less that feels like a threat."

He echoed the sentiment while speaking to Radio Times that same month, going on to reflect on the realities of fatherhood — both the good and the bad — while praising the "painfully honest" portrayal of parent-child relationships in his BBC comedy, There She Goes.

"I think parenting is often sentimentalised, and sort of cleaned-up for consumption, and in my own experience being a parent, it's hit and miss, and full of triumphs and disasters."

"[The show is] obviously about parenting a very unique child, but it's also just about parenting, and about how hit and miss that is, and how any one of us as a parent never feels that we're ever getting it right," he continued. "It's actually quite rare to see the honesty of that written down.

- Oscar-bound filmmaker Jafar Panahi has reportedly been sentenced to prison by Iranian officials.

- The *It Was Just an Accident* director is widely expected to score major Oscar nominations.

- The 2026 Academy Awards take place in March.

The director of a film widely predicted to score multiple nominations at the 2026 Oscars has reportedly been sentenced to one year in prison, per the Human Rights Activists News Agency.

In a brief news post Monday, the HRANA reported that 65-year-old Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi, who recently won the prestigious Cannes Palme d'Or prize for his new drama *It Was Just an Accident*, has additionally been sentenced to a travel ban and other restrictions amid alleged propaganda against the nation.

"Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court has, in absentia, sentenced Mr. Panahi to one year in prison, two years of a travel ban, and a ban on membership in political and social groups, on the charge of propaganda against the regime," said Mostafa Nili, Panahi's defense attorney, in a statement reported by the organization.**

Nili added, "We will take the necessary steps to appeal this ruling within the legal deadline."

* *has reached out to representatives for Panahi's film *It Was Just an Accident *and to the Iranian government for comment.

*It Was Just an Accident *is* *among the strongest likely contenders for 2026 Oscar nominations, with EW predicting the film in several categories, including Best Picture and Best Director for Panahi.**

The film is also expected to score a nomination for Best International Feature, but not on behalf of Iran, which did not submit the project for Oscars consideration — instead, France, which co-financed the film, submitted the project as its category contender.

Nominations are set for Jan. 22, while the Academy Awards will be handed out on March 15.

Amid worldwide acclaim for films *The White Balloon*, *The Circle*, *Taxi*, and more, Panahi first served jail time in 2009, with several of his projects being banned in Iran.

He has, in the past, resorted to making films via remote video sessions, with *It Was Just an Accident* even being made partially in secret in Iran after he was released from another prison stint in 2023 that ended with a hunger strike, per the Associated Press.

Drawing glowing critical reviews following its Cannes debut in May, *It Was Just an Accident* was made with inspiration from stories told by Panahi's fellow prisoners, and follows an ex-prisoner who kidnaps a man he suspects was his interrogator in jail, though he's unsure of the person's exact identity because he was blindfolded while in prison.

"At the end of the day, I was a special person there," Panahi told the AP of his stint in Evin Prison. "There were people there who would go on hunger strikes for 20 or 30 days and no one would hear about it. If I didn't eat for two days, the entire world would find out."

*It Was Just an Accident *was first released in the United States on Oct. 15, and is now playing in a limited number of theaters.

John Travolta in Grease and in the commercial -

John Travolta is reprising his role as Danny Zuko — but with a holiday twist

The actor appears in a new Capital One commercial inspired by his 1978 film Grease

In the commercial, Travola appears as Santa with a sleigh that's worthy of a new rendition of "Greased Lightnin'"

John Travolta is paying homage to his Grease character Danny Zuko — but this time, as Santa Claus.

Travolta, 71, appears in a new Capital One commercial in which he can be seen dressed as Santa in an automotive garage, toting his sack of toys as he eyes a high-tech sleigh.

"Ho, ho, ho, ho," he says in the ad. "Why, this sleigh could be frost-o-matic, tinsel-matic, 1.5% cash back-o-matic."

"It's Greased Lightnin'," he adds, while paying for the sleigh with a Capital One credit card.

He then launches into a near-identical rendition of "Greased Lightnin'," which he originally sung about a car in the film.

Throughout the commercial, Travolta busts out his famous dance moves alongside some of Santa's elves and a reindeer wearing sunglasses.

"Ho, ho, ho — what's in your wallet?" he says in ending the commercial, while a red convertible-like sleigh jets off into the sky with a reindeer escort.

John Travolta

This isn't the first time Travolta has nodded to one of his previous film characters in a Capital One commercial. Last year, the actor teamed up with Samuel L. Jackson more than 26 years after the release of Pulp Fiction, for an ad chock-full of references to the 1994 Quentin Tarantino Oscar-winning classic.

In the 2024 ad, Travolta again plays Santa Claus as he buys Christmas gifts for his elves, adding tins of hot chocolate, bags of marshmallows and "3,000 bolo ties" — a nod to his Vincent Vega character — to his online shopping cart.

The advert ends with Travolta's Santa recreating Pulp Fiction's iconic dance scene between him and Uma Thurman — this time to the tune of Chuck Berry's "Run Run Rudolph."

Travolta has also previously payed homage to his Grease character, making a surprise June appearance at a sing-along event for the film at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. The actor even came dressed as Danny Zuko, posting a photo on his Instagram of himself as an older version of the character — sporting gray hair while wearing a black leather jacket and a T-shirt.

"Tonight at the Hollywood Bowl, for the first time I surprised everyone at the GREASE Sing-A-Long and dressed up as Danny Zuko," he wrote in the post's caption. "No one knew. Not even the cast. Thank you for a great evening."

Travolta also shared a video from the surprise moment in his post, in which he could be seen walking to the stage to loud cheers from fans in the packed-out amphitheater, channeling Zuko while saying to the audience, "L.A., I thought you were going back to Australia? That's cool, that's cool, baby. You know, riding and rollin' and whatnot."

Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani in Las Vegas on May 10, 2024The Gist -

Gwen Stefani posted a PDA-filled photo of herself and husband Blake Shelton to her Instagram Story on November 28.

The couple sparked breakup rumors after skipping the CMA Awards on November 19, even though Shelton was a nominee.

Stefani left her romantic photo captionless, letting Shelton's kiss on the cheek do the talking.

Split rumors? What split rumors?

Look, when you're a celebrity couple, breakup rumors are consistent and constant—but when it comes to Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton's marriage, Stefani is shutting down any chatter without ever actually uttering a word.

On November 28, Stefani posted a PDA-filled selfie of Shelton giving her a kiss to her Instagram Story, writing no caption and letting Shelton's kiss on the cheek speak for her. Of any split rumors, Shelton's rep also told Page Six, "This is a completely made-up story created solely for headlines and clicks."

The breakup rumors ramped up after Stefani and Shelton skipped November 19's CMA Awards in Nashville, even though Shelton was a nominee. Prior to Friday's photo, Page Six reported that Shelton hadn't appeared on the No Doubt singer's Instagram since June, when Stefani celebrated his birthday. For his part, Shelton wished Stefani a happy birthday when her big day rolled around in October.

Back in March, the duo released a duet, "Hangin' On," which is about a breakup. Shelton was quick to point out that the song was "really no reflection of where Gwen and I are in our relationship—I hope," he told Access Hollywood.

"It's a song that pushes us vocally, and we just love the song," he added. "We're to a point in our lives where we just want to do songs that we love, and then see what happens, I guess, later."

The couple married in 2021, and Stefani previously said that Shelton gave her "a second chance at life" after her divorce from Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale, with whom she shares three sons.

"When my family fell apart, it was a catastrophe," she told The Guardian in November 2024. "How do you pick yourself up from that? But God put this other person there to love me."

Shelton previously told People of his Thanksgiving rules with Stefani that the No. 1 tip is "Never say no to any kind of food," he said. "Whatever you want to try, I'll try it. Just bring it on."

"We go all out for Thanksgiving," Shelton continued. "We've got a huge family, so we feel good about making a bunch of food. Normally, it's like, 'Oh damn, we're already out of stuffing? How can that possibly be?' We're excited about it."

Stefani and Shelton originally met as coaches on The Voice in 2014 and began dating in November 2015. Five years later, Shelton proposed, and the two married in July 2021.

"To me, she's my best friend and everything that I need and lean on," Shelton previously said, adding that their relationship is the "easiest thing" he's ever been a part of.

Serena Williams said she struggled in the beginning of her tennis career because she had a different body type than other athletes

The 44-year-old said she thought she was "large" her entire life, but now she realizes she was "fit" and just had "big muscles"

She admitted that she stopped reading articles about herself and said she's glad things are starting to change for the next generation of Black tennis stars

Serena Williams is opening up about overcoming her struggles with body image early on in her career.

In the latest cover story for NET-A-PORTER's digital title, PORTER, the tennis star, 44, reflected on how difficult it was to have a different physique than other athletes.

"It was hard because when I was playing in the beginning – the first 15 years – my body was different," she told the outlet. "I had big boobs; I had a big butt. Every athlete was like super flat, super thin and beautiful, but in a different way. And I didn't understand as an athlete how to deal with that."

"It does affect you mentally. Absolutely," she continued. "You think you're large for your whole life and you look [back] and you're like, I was fit. Yeah, I had big muscles. I didn't look like these other girls but not everyone looks the same."

Williams explained that the comparisons and criticism took such a toll on her body image that she ultimately decided not to read any comments about her.

"When I was 17, when I won the Open for the first time, I took a decision there. I was so young, but I said I'm never going to read anything about me," she said. "At the Open, there was so much positivity, and I thought, I don't want my head to get too big. I wanted to stay humble. I also thought if it's negative, I don't want to read it. I never really read an article after that."

That's one of the reasons why the 23-time Grand Slam champion is often praised for her resiliency, because she's been able to block out the noise.

"Growing up and being Black in tennis, it's just like, well, that comes with negativity… You have something mean to say, get in line. You got to go way back. It's going to take you a few days to get there. Join the crowd," she said. "I don't hear the noise. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. How am I going to sit here and change someone's thought? If [you] don't like me, you don't have to."

Williams said she's glad that things are starting to change and get better for the young Black tennis players who are at the top of their game today, like Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka.

"It's changed," she said. "No one's calling these girls the [things] I was called. People would say we were like men and all this other stuff."

"I'm not going to let anyone bring me down," she continued. "I put enough stress on myself. The last thing I'm going to allow is someone else to do that. But I'm so happy that girls nowadays don't have to go through it as much. I mean, I think internet trolls are different. So, you have that to deal with…"

Past participants have included Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin's daughter Apple Martin, Nicole Ari Parker's daughter Sophie and Sophia Loren's granddaughter Lucia Sofia Ponti.

Whitney Leavitt is riding the wave of her controversial "Dancing with the Stars" run all the way to Broadway.

The "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star, 32, will play the role of Roxie Hart in "Chicago" on Broadway, she announced Dec. 1 on Instagram. Her stint in the storied musical will begin Feb. 2 at the Ambassador Theatre in New York City and run through March 15.

The announcement follows a tumultuous season on "DWTS," where Leavitt impressed judges with her dancing chops but struggled against a tidal wave of online hate, some stemming from her actions filmed on previous seasons of "Mormon Wives."

Mark Ballas and Whitney Leavitt perform their freestyle on "Call Her Daddy."

Despite strong technical skills, Leavitt was eliminated before the finals of "Dancing with the Stars," failing to earn enough fan votes to advance to the end of the competition. Wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin ultimately nabbed the Mirrorball trophy.

Leavitt and her pro partner from the show, Mark Ballas, performed their final dance on an episode of "Call Her Daddy," during which she recounted the difficulty of the show's fanbase turning against her.

"I am used to the hate. And so with Season 1 and Season 2 of 'Secret Lives and Mormon Wives' being out, like I just didn't think I was going to make it that far in 'Dancing with the Stars' because I already knew the persona that I had in the media," she told host Alex Cooper. "So I didn't think people were going to really vote for me."

The ballroom welcomed 14 celebrities for their 20th anniversary season.

1 / 15Revisit incredible 'Dancing with the Stars' moments from this season

Ahead of the season finale of "Dancing with the Stars", revisit some incredible moments from this season, starting with this shot of contestant Dylan Efron and judge Bruno Tonioli during the premiere. The ballroom welcomed 14 celebrities for their 20th anniversary season.

Her casting in "Chicago" finds easy roots in her time on "Dancing." Mid-season, she and Ballas performed an Argentine Tango to "Cell Block Tango," an iconic sequence from the show. It also slots into a growing trend on Broadway of outside celebrities dropping in for a guest-starring stint, some say to raise the profile of a struggling industry.

Leavitt follows in the footsteps of other celebrities who have played Roxie, including fellow reality TV stars Ariana Maddix, Erika Jayne and Lisa Rinna, as well as actress Melanie Griffith.

How to get tickets to 'Chicago'

Tickets for the show are available now via the official "Chicago" musical website.
