From Ben Affleck's $20.5 million Los Angeles estate to Tom Brady's private-island compound in Miami, Hollywood's newly single men are spending staggering sums on post-divorce homes, and the price tags reveal just how costly modern celebrity breakups have become. Vernon Kay, the 52-year-old BBC Radio 2 presenter, is the latest to join the trend. The Daily Mail reported that Kay bought a £3 million house in Buckinghamshire, roughly 15 minutes from the family home he still shares with his ex-wife, Tess Daly. The couple announced their separation in May after 23 years of marriage and say they remain friends, but Kay is reportedly preparing to move into the new property, which includes a swimming pool and sprawling grounds.

Page Six profiled Sheridan's rise, working methods, and blunt personality in detail, and the picture that emerges is a man who built his empire the way a rancher builds a…Open
Scott Eastwood says his father dismissed Kevin Costner from the set of A Perfect World in 1993 after the actor wouldn't come out of his trailer, and the lesson stuck. The 40-year-old actor shared the story on Monday's episode of the "Armchair Expert" podcast, calling it a "legendary" tale he'd heard from his father.

Scott Eastwood says his father dismissed Kevin Costner from the set of A Perfect World in 1993 after the actor wouldn't come out of his trailer, and the lesson stuck. The 40-year-old actor shared the story on Monday's episode of the "Armchair Expert" podcast, calling it a "legendary" tale he'd heard from his father. Costner, now 71, was co-starring in the elder Eastwood's crime drama A Perfect World when, as Scott Eastwood paraphrased it, the rising star refused to leave his trailer for reasons that remain unclear. Clint Eastwood's response was blunt: send him home. The account, which Scott Eastwood was careful to describe as "paraphrased," paints a picture of old-school Hollywood discipline colliding with the kind of star behavior that…Open
