Rumer Willis is giving some insight into dad Bruce Willis‘ health journey.
If you were unaware, the 70-year-old Die Hard actor is currently battling aphasia and frontotemporal dementia. His dementia diagnosis was made public in February 2023.
During a recent Q&A on her Instagram Story, Rumer, 37, was asked how her father’s doing amid his ongoing battle.
Keep reading to find out more…“People always ask me this question and I think it’s kind of a hard one to answer, because the truth is that anybody with FDT is not doing great,” Rumer replied in a video, “but he’s doing OK in terms of somebody who is dealing with frontotemporal dementia.”
“The only way I feel like I could answer that in a way that’s like he’s doing great… how do I say this?” she continued. “It’s like those parameters don’t really work anymore in my mind, so this is an interesting question.”
Rumer said that she’s thankful to still have Bruce in her life, even if there are times when he doesn’t recognize her.
“The answer that I would give is that I’m so happy and grateful that I still get to go and hug him,” she explained. “I’m so grateful that when I go over there and give him a hug whether he recognizes me or not that he can feel the love I’ve given him, and I can feel it back from him. That I still see a spark of him and he can feel the love that I’m giving and so that feels really nice.”
She also said that she was thankful that Bruce was able to develop a relationship with her 2-year-old daughter Louetta.
“I just feel grateful that I get to go over there with Lou and we get to spend time with him, and I get to feel the love that he has for me and that he puts out for me and that I can love him and be with him,” Rumer shared.
Bruce‘s wife Emma Heming Willis recently explained why he longer lives in the same house as her and their kids.

Actress Shagun Sharma has caught all our attention with her latest stint as Pari in the Star Plus show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2, produced by Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Telefilms. However, the actress today is not grabbing our attention just for her acting, but also for her latest photos in a fiery red saree. As the actress dropped new photos, her boyfriend couldn’t help but react.
Shagun’s new photos scream fiery charm in a red saree. The actress wore a plain red sheer saree. She paired her simple saree with a sleeveless blouse embellished with embroidery and intricate handwork, elevating the saree’s glam. The saree was simple, but its ruffle at the bottom added a red-carpet-ready touch.

Embracing her look, Shagun accessorised herself with a white diamond and green emerald necklace, earrings, and matching bangles. But it was her soothing soft pink makeup with simple back eyeliner and Kajal eyes, pink cheeks, and glossy pink lips, allowing her saree to shine. With her straight, open hairstyle, she gave her look an aesthetic vibe.
Sharing these photos, Shagun captioned them with red hearts. As soon as Shagun’s boyfriend, Aman, saw these photos, he couldn’t help but react. In the comments section, Aman wrote, “I mean (with hearts popping out emoji).”

Shagun Sharma and Aman Gandhi are currently appearing in the same show, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2. They are playing on-screen siblings. However, the couple had been dating for a long time before joining the show. They made their relationship official in March 2025.

The new movie Wicked: For Good is now in theaters and it’s expected to smash records at the box office around the world.
The movie musical is based on the Broadway show Wicked and features material from the second act of the show, along with two new songs and an expanded storyline for Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda (Ariana Grande).
Over the years, it has become standard for movie franchises to include extra scenes during the credits roll to tease future installments or just give fans some bonus content.
Keep reading to find out more…
Wicked: For Good does not have a post-credits scene, so you can feel free to leave the theater once the movie has ended without worrying about missing anything.
Why doesn’t it?!
Well, it would not make sense for this film to have one!
Wicked: For Good is the second half of a two-part story and ends with a satisfying conclusion. At the moment, there are no plans to continue the story and there’s nothing else to tease.
The movie does end with a moment that almost felt like it would be something included in a traditional end credits scene though.
In the final moments of the movie, Glinda takes the Grimmerie into the tower of the Wizard’s castle where “Defying Gravity” happened in the first movie. While looking at the book, it comes to life for Glinda, seemingly signaling that she now has magical powers. The most major difference for the ending from the Broadway show vs. the movie is the added context into Glinda’s future with the Grimmerie opening for her at the end of the film. In the Broadway musical, while singing the finale with Elphaba, Glinda is in her bubble and flying over Oz while holding the Grimmerie, but we never see the book open for her.
So, will Wicked 3 ever happen?
Wicked and Wicked: For Good were directly adapted from the Broadway musical and it’s unclear where a third movie might go if one were to be made. “Wicked” author Gregory Maguire has written several sequels, so they could potentially pull from there, or go in an entirely different direction.
Wicked composer Stephen Schwartz is opening up about his ideas for a third movie, which he says he’s already discussing with screenwriter Winnie Holzman.
Keep reading to find out more…
“If there were a right idea, but I’m just not sure that that right idea exists,” Schwartz told The Ankler. “What I will tell you without giving away too much is that Winnie Holzman (the original Wicked book writer and film’s co-screenwriter) and I are doing some work right now on ideas that aren’t a sequel to Wicked, because I think the Glinda and Elphaba story feels complete — but there are other aspects that could be explored. Gregory Maguire, the original Wicked novelist, has several books, for example. But there’s another idea that Winnie and I are discussing: not a sequel, but an adjunct. Let me put it that way.”
So, it sounds like we won’t see Ariana and Cynthia back as Glinda and Elphaba, but we might get to see more of Oz.
He added, “If someone could think of a continuation of the story that seemed to have a justification beyond simply making money, of course. As far as right now, no one has yet presented an idea that I’ve heard that would justify such a thing.”

Pop icon pays tribute to fellow Prince protege
“With a heavy heart, my dear friend Jellybean passed away a couple of hours ago,” the singer wrote on Facebook on Saturday.
“We are devastated by this news. I’m praying for his family and all the kids. He was a kind human being, extremely talented and funny,” she continued, adding:
“He had a great sense of humor and [was] an awesome guitar player. Yesterday was your birthday, I forgot to call you and I’m so sorry. I love u Bean. Rest in peace and power.”
Jellybean — whose real name was Garry George Johnson — reportedly died unexpectedly. His cause of death is unknown at this time.

An iconic career behind the kit
Born November 19, 1956 in Chicago, Johnson made the acquaintance of Prince early in his career.
In 1981, the music legend recruited Johnson to be part of the funk rock band The Time as part of his deal with Warner Bros. to produce other artists.
In 1985, he and The Time delivered a memorable performance in Prince’s wildly popular film Purple Rain.
In addition to his work with The Time, Johnson played the drums for such major acts as Patti LaBelle, Human League, New Edition, Cherrelle, and Alexander O’Neal.
He also worked as a producer, helping to engineer such hits as Janet Jackson’s 1990 number one single “Black Cat.”
In 2008, Johnson performed with Rihanna at the Grammy Awards.
He dedicated his later years to projects such music-related humanitarian projects as the Minneapolis Sound Museum and the Jellybean Johnson Experience, in which he performed with gifted up-and-comers.
Our thoughts go out to Jellybean Johnson’s loved ones during this difficult time.
