Celebrity Status – Box Office, Baldwin, And Celebs RIP
For Monday, July 15th:
Gru and the minions celebrated a second week in first place for ‘Despicable Me 4’ at the North American box office this weekend, with $44.7 million. Perhaps surprisingly, the independent horror film ‘Longlegs’ with Nicolas Cage came in second with $22 million with “Inside Out 2” right behind in third. Apple’s “Fly Me to the Moon” with Scarlett Johannsen and Channing Tatum opened to a disappointing $10 million in ticket sales
Shannen Doherty‘s longtime publicist Leslie Sloane confirmed in a statement to PEOPLE on Sunday morning that the former star of 90210 passed away Saturday at the age of 53, surrounded by loved ones, after a lengthy battle with cancer. Former co-stars from 90210 and Charmed paid tribute to her on social media yesterday.
Richard Simmons, TV’s biggest cheerleader of physical fitness also passed away on Saturday. His Sweating to the Oldies fitness videos became a cultural phenomenon and his first book, “Never Say Diet,” was a best-seller. He had just turned 76 on Friday. And Dr. Ruth Westheimer, the sex guru of radio and TV in the 80s has died at the age of 96.
ICYMI: The judge in Alec Baldwin‘s manslaughter trial dismissed the case against him, citing misconduct by police and prosecutors, who withheld evidence from the defense. It was dismissed with prejudice, meaning that it cannot be refiled in the future.
And Travis Kelce hit a female spectator with a ball at a celebrity golf tournament on the weekend, leaving her head bleeding. He also hit a man in the arm.
