*Cinderella* stars Brandy and Whoopi Goldberg just held an emotional reunion three decades after making history with Whitney Houston in the 1997 family film.

Brandy joined Goldberg Wednesday morning for an interview on *The View*, with the pop star promoting her new memoir, *Phases*, and reflecting on her time acting alongside the Oscar-winning *Ghost* performer in *Cinderella*.

"I just remember being so excited and so blown away by all of these amazing legends and greats," Brandy told the cohosts of appearing in the film alongside Goldberg and the late Houston.

"We were blown away by you," Goldberg told Brandy, pausing to collect herself as she became emotional upon seeing a clip of Brandy meeting Houston, which *The View* played on screen earlier in the interview. The clip, from a '90s edition of *Extra*, showed Houston surprising Brandy and telling her, "I'm so proud of you."

Goldberg, 70, continued, "I'd seen you meet Whitney that first time [in the clip], I wasn't prepared for that, that threw me, then I started thinking about us on the set and the pumpkin, we had a great time."

Brandy, 47, then praised the EGOT-winning Hollywood staple for her warmth on the set of *Cinderella*.

"I was so happy to connect with you," Brandy told her costar. "You were so kind to me and encouraging. They don't make them like you anymore, Ms. Whoopi Goldberg."

The *Moesha *star explained that she attempted to meet Houston — one of her idols — earlier in her career, before she was famous.

"She was performing at The Forum, and I knew her band instructor," Brandy recalled. "I talked my way from the nosebleeds all the way down to backstage to meet her.... They let me back, but she had already finished and left and I couldn't meet her. I tried to meet her again, then she went into labor, so I didn't meet her until that moment!"

Goldberg, Houston, and Brandy first appeared together in Disney's television adaptation of Rodgers and Hammerstein's *Cinderella*, which aired in November 1997 on ABC. The film went on to become a fan favorite among viewers, and represented a monumental moment in pop culture history, with Brandy becoming the first Black actress to play the title role in a major production. Houston and Goldberg costarred, respectively, as the fairy godmother and the queen.

In 2021, ** reunited members of the cast to reflect on the impact of the beloved movie project.

"It was a game changer, like it was just so different, and it just gave everyone an opportunity to just play these iconic characters, and see it in a different way. It was just so magical," Brandy told EW at the time, with Goldberg adding that "a lot of this came from the heart and soul of Whitney [Houston]. I know that a lot of what you're seeing is what she wanted."

British Prime Minister criticizes London festival for booking Kanye West CBSNews Sun, April 5, 2026 at 1:52 PM UTC 0 (Photo by Evan Agostini/Invision/AP, File) British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he was concerned about planned concerts in London by rapper Kanye West, who has a history of antisemitic outbursts and released a song called "Heil Hitler."

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he was concerned about planned concerts in London by rapper Kanye West, who has a history of antisemitic outbursts and released a song called "Heil Hitler."

The 48-year-old hip-hop artist, who in recent years has become known just as Ye, is scheduled to headline the Wireless Festival in London this summer. His planned three-night engagement at the rap and R&B festival in July is part of a European tour.

Starmer told The Sun newspaper on Saturday that it was "deeply concerning Kanye West has been booked to perform at Wireless despite his previous antisemitic remarks and celebration of Nazism."

He added that "antisemitism in any form is abhorrent and must be confronted firmly."

Pepsi, which was originally the Wireless Festival's main sponsor, said it has "decided to withdraw its sponsorship" of the event, CBS partner BBC News reported. But Pepsi was still listed as a headline sponsor on the festival's website on Sunday. As BBC News noted, a description on the festival's website also said: "Pepsi MAX are a long-standing partner of Pepsi MAX presents Wireless Festival and look forward to creating more musical moments together."

PepsiCo, the parent company of Pepsi, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from AFP, according to the news outlet.

Jewish organizations and London Mayor Sadiq Khan have criticized West's planned appearances at the festival since organizers announced it on social media last month.

Other legs of West's European tour have proved controversial, too, with the mayor of Marseille in France saying he was "not welcome" for a concert there in June.

West has expressed regret over his antisemitic rants, which he blamed on his bipolar disorder.

In May 2025, he released a song called "Heil Hitler" to mark the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II.

The song was banned by major streaming platforms.

Brian Cox's Hollywood Hit List Grows as He Slams Johnny Depp, Margot Robbie, Edward Norton, and More Michael Prieve Sun, April 5, 2026 at 2:11 PM UTC 0 Brian Cox, nearly 80, told The Times he's done holding back, unloading fresh criticism on Margot Robbie, and doubling down on past slams of Johnny Depp and Edward Norton.

Brian Cox's Hollywood Hit List Grows as He Slams Johnny Depp, Margot Robbie, Edward Norton, and More

Michael Prieve Sun, April 5, 2026 at 2:11 PM UTC

Brian Cox, nearly 80, told The Times he's done holding back, unloading fresh criticism on Margot Robbie, and doubling down on past slams of Johnny Depp and Edward Norton.

Cox mocked Robbie's casting in Wuthering Heights, called Depp "overblown and overrated," labeled Norton "a pain in the arse," and torched Quentin Tarantino and Gary Oldman along the way.

The Succession star dismissed concerns from his wife and even Daniel Day-Lewis, declaring: "F–k it! I'm gonna say what I want to say."

Brian Cox has never been shy about his opinions. But somewhere between Succession wrapping and his upcoming 80th birthday, the Scottish actor has apparently decided that the filter is fully, officially, irrevocably off.

In a new profile with The Times UK — timed to promote his directorial debut Glenrothan — Cox dragged a remarkable roster of Hollywood names through the mud with the cheerful energy of a man who has genuinely stopped caring what anyone thinks.

When asked whether his relentless commentary on fellow stars has cost him anything, Cox was refreshingly unbothered. "I mean, my wife [Nicole Ansari-Cox] keeps saying, 'Brian, be careful. Brian, be careful.' I think, 'F–k it, I don't want to be careful anymore! I'll be 80 this year. F—k it! I'm gonna say what I want to say,'" he told the outlet.

And say it he did.

Cox revealed that he declined to play the governor in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise because he didn't want to work with Johnny Depp, whom he called "so overblown, so overrated." The role, for those keeping score, went to Jonathan Pryce. Cox walked away. He has no regrets.

This isn't new territory — Cox has been lobbing this particular grenade at Depp for years — but he's clearly not done throwing it.

Margot Robbie: Too Pretty for Cathy

The freshest target this round is Margot Robbie, who is set to star as Catherine Earnshaw in Emerald Fennell's new adaptation of Wuthering Heights. Cox is… skeptical.

He mocked Robbie's Australian accent while riffing on the casting, exclaiming: "'Keith Cliff! It's me, Cathy! How ya doing, Keith? Awright?' 'Yeah, I'm awright!'"

"Margot Robbie is far too beautiful for that role," Cox said. "I mean, I think there should be something more of the Gypsy about her but it's wrong of me to judge. It may be a brilliant film."

He added that he hasn't actually seen the film yet. A minor detail, clearly.

Edward Norton, Kevin Spacey, Ian McKellen: A Buffet of Grievances

Cox co-starred with Edward Norton in Spike Lee's 25th Hour, and the experience left an impression — just not a good one. He called Norton "a pain in the ase," writing that "he's a nice lad but a bit of a pain in the ase because he fancies himself as a writer-director."

Cox extended his criticism to Kevin Spacey, whom he described as "a stupid, stupid man," and to his X2 co-star, Ian McKellen, saying the actor's performances are "not to my taste."

The slams didn't stop at actors. Cox called Quentin Tarantino "meretricious" and dismissed Gary Oldman's Oscar-winning Winston Churchill performance in Darkest Hour as "cobblers" and "a crowd-pleasing farrago."

He also referred to director Michael Caton-Jones as "a complete arsehole" and described playwright David Hare in terms not printable in polite company.

Daniel Day-Lewis Tried to Check Him. It Didn't Work.

Cox's ongoing criticism of method acting — including pointed remarks about Succession co-star Jeremy Strong — apparently irked Daniel Day-Lewis, who reportedly told Cox to get off his "soapbox." Cox's response to Day-Lewis? Ice cold.

"No, I haven't reached out because it's got nothing to do with Dan Day-Lewis," he said, dismissing the idea of a reconciliation entirely.

At this point, Brian Cox isn't just Hollywood's most prolific critic — he's its most committed one. Nearly 80, freshly directorial, and utterly uninterested in making friends on the way out, he's proof that there's a certain freedom that comes with age. Whether Hollywood appreciates the candor is, frankly, no longer his problem.

Kate Middleton returned to Easter Sunday after a two-year break.

She wore a tailored midi dress by Self Portrait.

The Princess of Wales was joined by Prince William, and their three children, George, Charlotte, and Louis.

On Sunday, Kate Middleton made her stunning return to the annual Easter Sunday service at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. She was with her family, including her husband, Prince William, and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

Kate's last appearance at Easter service was in 2023. In 2024, she had just revealed her cancer diagnosis and plans to undergo chemotherapy ahead of the event. In 2024, the Princess of Wales was in remission, but she and the family were at their Norfolk country home.

For her return this year, Kate wore the Oatmeal Tailored Crepe Lace Detail midi dress from Self Portrait, according to fashion Instagram account @katemiddletonstyled. She had a series of matching accessories, including an Oak Leaf Teardrop Hat from Juliette Millinery, the Nano Montreal DeMellier purse in Deep Toffee Smooth, and a pair of tan Ralph Lauren pumps. In her ears, she wore Queen Elizabeth's Bahrain Pearl Earrings.

Princess Charlotte wore a bespoke coat from Catherine Walker that coordinated with her mother's ensemble over a blue pleated chiffon dress, also from Self Portrait. On her feet were a pair of black ballet flats from Tory Burch.

Louis and George were wearing matching navy suits just a shade darker than William's, along with pale blue ties. William's tie was a bright checkered blue.

In March 2026, royal photographer Chris Jackson shared his perspective on watching the children in the royal family grow up in an interview with Page Six.

"You don't see them very often, but when you do see them, it's lovely to watch them kind of growing up," Jackson shared. "I'm guessing they realize it's not normal to be in these situations."

He added of the kids, "It's lovely to see them interacting together. Photographing them over the years has been really special."
