Tiger Woods’ ex drops $30 million lawsuit… Madonna update… Seven Harry’s wax figures at Madame Tussauds Museums… Cillian Murphy ate just ‘an almond every day’… and Miranda Lambert debate

Listen to “Showbiz – July 19, 2023” on Spreaker.

Tiger Woods’ ex-girlfriend has decided to drop her $30M lawsuit against him. Erica Herman lived with Tiger in his huge mansion in Hobe Sound, Florida, for six years while they were dating. In exchange for performing “valuable services” for him, Erica said they had an oral agreement that she would live there rent-free — which she did for 5 years — and was supposed to continue another 5 until he tricked her and kicked her out! Last year, Erica claims Tiger’s people told her that he was whisking her away on a romantic trip, but she needed to hurry so she only had time to pack one bag. But when Erica got to the airport….Gotcha! There was no trip and she wasn’t allowed to go back inside the house. She said $30M represented the “reasonable rental value” of that home, if she kept living there for another 5 years. So she didn’t have THAT agreement in writing, but Tiger DID get her to sign an NDA that included a requirement agreement to resolve “any and all disputes, claims or controversies” with the golfer through confidential arbitration.

It’s been almost three weeks since Madonna was found unresponsive and was rushed to ICU, where she reportedly was intubated overnight. Last week, she posted a message to her fans, thanking them for their “positive energy, prayers and words of healing and encouragement.” She said, “My first thought when I woke up in the hospital was my children. My second thought was that I did not want to disappoint anyone who bought tickets for my tour. I also didn’t want to let down the people who worked tirelessly with me over the last few months to create my show. I hate to disappoint anyone. My focus now is my health and getting stronger and I can assure you, I’ll be back with you as soon as I can!” Her tour was supposed to kick off last weekend in Vancouver, but now Madonna says the North American leg of her tour will have to be rescheduled. Her plan is to start in Europe this October. And then yesterday, she posted her first photo since her near-tragedy. With her hair braided into pigtails, Madonna is hugging a huge bouquet of pink roses. Yes, she’s happy to be alive, but she’s also having to deal with the comments about being air-brushed to look like she’s 12…..

A single friend my world.” ♥️🌹 Thank You. pic.twitter.com/norcwOlLda

To prepare for his role as the father of the atomic bomb, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Cillian Murphy told “The New York Times,” “Oppenheimer had a very distinct physicality and silhouette, which I wanted to get right. I had to lose quite a bit of weight, and we worked with the costume and tailoring. He was very slim, almost emaciated, existed on martinis and cigarettes.” So how much weight did he lose? And how? Cillian won’t say. did he lose the weight? Cillian wouldn’t say. He told “The Guardian” that his extreme diet wasn’t safe and shouldn’t be tried by other people. But his “Oppenheimer” co-star Emily Blunt told “Extra” that Cillian achieved emaciation by eating an almond a day! Do you think she may have been exaggerating for the sake of a good story?

Now the Miranda Lambert haters are just piling on. After stopping down her concert to scold a group of women for taking selfies, someone posted a video from another concert where Miranda got annoyed by a beach ball being batted around in the audience. When it finally got to the stage, Miranda popped it! She then grabbed the mic and shouted, “I love y’all, but we’re not a damn beach! We’re singing country music tonight!”
