The Hollywood mogul, his gay lovers — and his fashion icon wife
B arry Diller sits at one end of an elegant conference room in the headquarters of his media empire, fielding questions about his sex life. 'I've been doing this now for about two weeks,' he says. His voice, a deep baritone, is incredulous. 'From the first hour, the first day, it's, 'Is he gay? Now is he?' ' Diller is 83 and worth $4.6 billion (£3.4 billion), according to Forbes. He was a Hollywood wunderkind who became, at 32, the head of Paramount Pictures. He later ran Twentieth Century Fox and founded, with Rupert Murdoch, the Fox television network. Then he became a mogul in his own right, taking over television networks and engaging in rollicking battles with rivals for control of Hollywood studios. From this conference room, high in his white-glass HQ, you can see the hills and dells of an island on stilts that he built in the Hudson River as a new public park. It changed the shape of Manhattan.

Gordon Ramsay sightings in metro Detroit: Here's where
Was celebrity chef and reality cooking show star Gordon Ramsay in Detroit? It appears so. On various social media channels, there have been posts of Gordon Ramsay sightings. Those sightings included speculation that Ramsay and a crew were in town filming episodes of his new show, 'Secret Service" on the Fox Network. The show aims to examine major issues at struggling restaurants. Two metro Detroit restaurants that the celebrity chef allegedly may have visited included Boodles restaurant in Madison Heights and Firenze's Pizza in Warren. A June 3 Facebook post by Scanner of Warren showed pictures of Firenze's stating that Ramsay's "Secret Service" show was being filmed at the restaurant. According to the Firenze Restaurant and Pizzeria Facebook page, the family-owned spot on East 10 Mile Road in Warren is closed. The restaurant, the post stated, is reopening on Tuesday, June 10, with a "freshened up menu" promising customers that they will be "WOWWED!" by new menu items. What we do know, according to an Instagram post, is that Ramsay dined on June 8 at Grandma Bob's pizza spot in Corktown. 'We were honored and SO excited to have Chef Gordon Ramsey stop in to try our Detroit-style pie!,' according to the post. Grandma Bob's also asked, 'Wanna copy his order?!' and followed with: Caesar Salad 2 Greeks (the second Greek because he liked the first one so much) XL Pepperoni Sausage + Pistachio Pinot and Chianti The Free Press reached out via email to the FOX network, asking if Ramsay was filming the new show in the Detroit area. The network could not confirm if Ramsay's new show was filming here. A post on the website with a picture of Ramsay calls out for casting "struggling restaurants in or within 45 miles of Pittsburgh, Detroit or Cleveland." Ramsay's show, which premiered in May, is 'Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service.' Per the Fox TV network website, the weekly show features Chef Ramsay, with the help of a 'secret source' delivering inside restaurant intel on 'major issues facing each restaurant' that is featured on the episode. The source helps 'Ramsay infiltrate the restaurant after-hours for a dramatic nighttime black light kitchen investigation that reveals more filth and grossness than ever before' and other issues and problems the restaurant is facing. Ramsay is well known for his restaurants and various hit competitive TV shows, including Hell's Kitchen, Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, MasterChef, MasterChef Jr., and Next Level Chef. On his shows, Ramsay is also known for his blunt and often in-your-face demeanor, bleeped-out foul language and harsh criticism.

For the series, Ramsay followed chefs and traveled to remote places in the world seeking out "culinary inspiration, epic adventures, and cultural experiences," National Geographic's website said. The episode featured diving among shipwrecks, helping monks at the Holy Transfiguration Skete, a Byzantine Catholic monastery in the Keweenaw Peninsula. It also featured Ramsay teaming up with chef James Rigato of award-winning Mabel Gray in Hazel Park.

Why was Tom Brady booed at Indy 500? Understanding Indianapolis' dislike of the NFL legend
The 109th Indianapolis 500 was held on Sunday, and for the first time, it was aired on Fox Network, with NFL legend Tom Brady in attendance. Tom Brady is Fox's highest-paid star, so it was understandable that the network brought him out prior to the race. But he did not have the outing he must have hoped for. As soon as the seven-time Super Bowl champion stepped out onto the podium, the crowd broke into loud boos. The former New England Patriots QB couldn't help but smile, as if he was expecting it. Watch the video here: Tom Brady was booed at the Indy 500 because it was held in Indianapolis. Brady had a long rivalry with the Indianapolis Colts and their legendary quarterback, Payton Manning. The fans in Indianapolis did not seem to like seeing the former quarterback who tormented the Colts during his legendary days with the New England Patriots, hence the booing.

Beloved British drama is getting a US remake with Emmy nominated actor set to take over iconic role as fumbling practitioner
Hit ITV drama Doc Martin is set for a US remake without Martin Clunes, who played the grumpy GP for nearly two decades. Instead Emmy nominated actor Josh Charles, famous for TV series The Handmaid's Tale and The Good Wife, will take over as the miserable medic. The Fox network will remake the iconic show, but set it on the east coast of the US instead of Cornwall. It will also change its name to Best Medicine. Nevertheless Clunes, 63, who featured in all ten seasons of the primetime hit – which regularly drew in over eight million viewers – is already well known and popular in the US as the UK show is a huge hit on the PBS Network. In the UK version – filmed in Port Isaac – Clunes plays the character of Doctor Martin Ellingham, a surgeon who quits his glittering career in London to inexplicably take up the role of GP in the fictional village of Portwenn, where he enjoyed childhood holidays. His cold and unemotional manner alienates locals while they are impressed by his medical expertise. He gradually comes to be accepted in Portwenn as more is revealed about his past – including his phobia of blood which has blighted his stellar career. In Best Medicine, the identical plot centres on Doctor Martin Best, played by Charles and described as 'a brilliant surgeon who abruptly leaves his illustrious career in Boston to become the general practitioner in a quaint East Coast fishing village where he spent summers as a child'. The tagline continues: 'Martin's blunt and borderline rude bedside manner rubs the quirky, needy locals the wrong way, and he quickly alienates the town, even though he's all they've got.' In the UK version of the popular show – filmed in Port Isaac, Cornwall – Martin Clunes, 63, plays the character of Doctor Martin Ellingham (pictured), a surgeon who quits his glittering career in London to inexplicably take up the role of GP in the fictional village of Portwenn As fans of the original show will know, the locals don't know that the doctor's frosty demeanour masks a 'debilitating new phobia and deep-seated psychological issues that prevent him from experiencing true intimacy with anyone'. Best Medicine will mark the seventh international adaptation of the British series, which has 'resonated worldwide with its humanity, originality and humour', according to President of Fox Television Network Michael Thorn. Doc Martin ran on ITV between 2004 and 2022. Clunes recently refused to reveal if he would return to the role, suggesting: 'I'm almost at the age where a GP has to retire, you see. Eighteen years of private medicine!'
