Sandra Bullock and her daughter Laila make an appearance on Red Table Talk | Daily Mail Online

Sandra Bullock was one of the surprise guests on the Mother’s Day episode of Red Table Talk on Friday.

And making her appearance even more special, Sandra introduced her eight-year-old daughter Laila to the world, bringing her on camera with her to thank a nurse from one of their local hospitals. 

Sandra, 55, welled up with emotion as she told a nurse named April, via a video conference call, how thankful she was for the work she was doing on the frontline fighting COVID-19, before revealing that Laila also wanted to say something.

 ‘I have someone here that wants to say something to April,’ the actress said as she introduced her daughter.

‘Thank you April for doing everything, for everyone,’ Laila said as she appeared on screen sitting next to her mom in the family kitchen.

‘Stay safe,’ the youngster added before Sandra said of her youngest child, ‘She’s the one that’s going to save the world in our family!’

The special episode focused on four mothers on the frontline fighting coronavirus during the pandemic, with hosts Jada Pinkett Smith, her daughter Willow Smith, and mother Adrienne Banfield-Norris tearing up as they heard the stories of bravery.

Sandra’s appearance came after she donated 6,000 N95 masks to a local Los Angeles hospital and brought along her children as she dropped them off.

‘We put masks on the kids and rolled down there and deposited, so they could see first hand the first responders and see how hard it is right now,’ The Proposal star explained. 

Last month her partner Bryan Randall, 54, shared a photo of the star facilitating the drop-off at the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles and credited her children for coming up with the idea of their charitable contribution.

Randall wrote on Instagram: ‘Kids wanted to give masks. 6000 of them went to the warriors on the front lines in downtown LA.

‘Thank you Olivia at #adventistwhitememorial. Thank you Ricardo at #childrenshospitallosangeles… Louis and Lailas note could not have said it better.’

‘She’s the one that’s going to save the world in our family!’ Sandra said of her daughter

He jokingly added of Bullock’s photobomb: ‘@masks.4.heros I’m not sure who that freak is in the background.’

The Miss Congeniality star began dating the photographer in 2015, and they’ve since kept their relationship out of the public eye.

Sandra has two children; a son named Louis, 10, who she adopted in 2010 and daughter Laila who she adopted in 2015. Both children were born in Louisiana. 

In 2015 she opened up about becoming a mother to three-year-old Laila, telling People: ‘When I look at Laila, there’s no doubt in my mind that she was supposed to be here,

‘I can tell you absolutely, the exact right children came to me at the exact right time.’

‘My family is blended and diverse, nutty, and loving and understanding,’ she said. ‘That’s a family.’

Coronation Street’s Colson Smith STUNS fans with his weight loss transformation | Daily Mail Online

‘Giving Adele a run for her money!’ Coronation Street’s Colson Smith STUNS fans with his weight loss transformation

Published: | Updated:

Colson Smith stunned fans when he unveiled his staggering weight loss transformation on Instagram on Friday. 

The Coronation Street star, 21, who plays Craig Tinker on the soap, overhauled his fitness regime last year after a nasty bout of food poisoning from a dodgy prawn made him shed one-and-a-half stone. 

Colson’s followers rushed to congratulate him on his efforts in the comments, with one fan telling the star he is ‘giving Adele a run for her money’.

Adele wowed fans earlier this week when she uploaded an Instagram after shedding seven stone. 

In the photo, a sweaty Colson beamed for the camera in sports gear after going on a run. 

He captioned the photo: ‘Bank Holiday run done. Feet up & some family time while staying at home now! Have a good un folks.(sic)’. 

Impressive: Adele wowed fans earlier this week when she uploaded an Instagram (pictured) after shedding seven stone and fans told Colson he was giving the singer a run for her money 

A way with the ladies: Colson’s character Craig has had his fair share of the ladies while on Coronation Street – pictured here kissing Kayla, played by Mollie Winward 

He also asked his fans for some isolation workout inspiration, writing on one social media snap: ‘Everyday = A Joggers day. Isolation inspiration – Talk to me Gram!

‘I wanna hear what all of yous are doing while socially distancing. Tell me your new positive goals and hobbies in this weird time?!’

He also shared another running pic and wrote: ‘Home workout number 57364  ✔️✔️What are you guys upto??.’ 

Fans soon flooded the comment section of his latest snaps. One wrote: ‘looking super fit’, while another follower added: ‘looking great!’. 

A third Corrie fan chimed: ‘You look amazing, all the hard work is paying off xx’. 

‘You look amazing, well done’, typed another one of Colson’s followers.  

Then and now: Colson pictured at a five-a-side football match and 2018 (left) and having completed a 5k run in April (right) 

Soap star: Colson is best known for playing Craig Tinker on Coronation Street (pictured last year) 

Lean machine: In March, Colson wrote: ‘Everyday = A Joggers day. Isolation inspiration – Talk to me Gram! I wanna hear what all of yous are doing while socially distancing. Tell me your new positive goals and hobbies in this weird time?! #StayHome #StaySafe’

Colson previously revealed he lost one and a half stone in December after he got food poisoning while holidaying in Thailand.  

Speaking on his podcast Sofa Cinema Club – which he hosts with co-stars Jack P Shepherd and Ben Price, Colson said: ‘I was in Ko Lanta.

‘I was sat on the beach and the waiter came over and was like, “What would you like?” And I said, “I’ll have the prawns to start please.” 

Onscreen and offscreen pals: Colson pictured with Lucy Fallon who played Bethany Platt on Corrie  

Going wild: The two were pictured out on a night on the tiles in Manchester in 2018 (left) and (right) all dressed up for a night out in October 

Open: Colson has been very happy to discuss the changes he has made to his lifestyle on social media (pictured back in 2018 with his co-star Alan Halsall, who plays Tyrone Dobbs) 

‘I had avoided seafood [on Ben’s advice] but I was sat on the beach and I was like, “How can you not have seafood on the beach?”

‘Well, anyway. I’m not doing that again. I’ve lost about a stone and a half.’

Colson said he was only able to eat to a banana and three slices of toast in the week after eating the dodgy prawns. 

Since then, the star has littered his Instagram with pictures of him in sports gear and has of course adopted a much healthier eating plan than just eating toast. 

Colson joined Coronation Street as 12-year-old back in 2011 along with his mother Beth, [Lisa George], and his pet rat, who was called Darryl. 

His character became a much-loved part of the soap after he joined the police and helped Bethany Platt, (Lucy Fallon), to bring down her rapist. 

After becoming firm friends, the couple briefly dated one another. 

Colson and Lucy became good friends in real life and were often pictured on nights out together in Manchester.  

The actor was cast on the show after being spotted at Northern Film and Drama classes.  

In 2016 it was revealed he had already shed three and half stone after hitting the gym and being put on a strict diet.

And it seems as though he worked even harder on his own personal goals from 2019 onwards.  

Good work: Fans soon flooded the comment section. One wrote: ‘looking super fit’, while another follower added: ‘looking great!’

The Mandalorian Season 2 Boba Fett Castin Revealed – /Film

Posted on Friday, May 8th, 2020 by

Well, you can’t make a show about a Mandalorian without including the most famous guy to ever wear the armor. Famed bounty Boba Fett, who was killed-off in Return of the Jedi but grew incredibly popular in the decades since due to appearances in novels, comics, and video games, will play a role in season 2 of the Disney+ series The Mandalorian. And in a piece of casting that will bring a smile to the face of anyone who appreciates continuity, he’ll be played by Temuera Morrison, who took on the role of Jango Fett in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.

The Hollywood Reporter has the story of Morrison returning to a galaxy far, far away. Although unconfirmed by Disney or Lucasfilm, the trade’s track record speaks for itself here, and we’re ready to believe it. After all, The Mandalorian has done an exceptional job of bridging both the prequels and the original trilogy of films, and this casting feels like the puzzle piece we didn’t even know we were looking for.

Morrison is an exceptional actor (I vividly recall his terrifying performance in Once Were Warriors). Still, most folks probably know him best from Attack of the Clones, where he played the ruthless bounty hunter Jango Fett, whose DNA became the source for Emperor Palpatine’s clone army, as well as his cloned son, Boba. However, Jango didn’t live to see the end credits role, losing his head in a fight with Jedi master Mace Windu later in the movie. Boba Fett remained masked throughout the entirety of the original trilogy, but since he’s a clone of his father, we can imagine they share the same features. And now, this casting has confirmed it.

Not confirmed: how Boba Fett survived falling into the Sarlacc Pitt on Tatooine, one of the more graceless demises in film history.

This casting brings with it a few other questions beyond “how the heck did Boba survive?” Questions like “Was that mysterious figure glimpsed in the final moments of season one’s “The Gunslinger” actually Boba Fett?” and “What about Cobb Vanth, the character in the Star Wars books who stole the supposedly dead Boba Fett’s armor?” We shall see.

Beyond Star Wars, Morrison’s other recent work includes Moana and Aquaman, so he’s no stranger to Disney or blockbusters. He joins Rosario Dawson, playing the live-action version of Ahsoka Tano, in The Mandalorian season 2. This season sounds absolutely jam-packed, and we’re very excited to see what’s in store for us when it arrives later this year.

Betty White to Star in Lifetime Christmas Movie at 98-Years-Old!

Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP

Listen, Betty White stops for no one and no one but herself. At the age of 98,this woman has more energy than I do, and I am in my mid-twenties. It is insane, it is selfish of my part, and she will forever be the best person on this planet. God bless Betty White and Lifetime channel for giving us The ultimate White Christmas movie that we have all been waiting for.

In case you needed to add a little joy to your life right now, I’m here to tell you that the network has just now announced several new projects, which includes feel-good movies that their viewers will definitely love. And yes, one of these movies include everyone’s favorite 98-year-old Golden Girls actress, Betty White. White is slated to appear and yet untitled Christmas movie, which we already know is going to be more than fantastic.

According to Lifetime’s news release, White will star as a woman who helps would-be Santas get into shape by spreading the true meaning of Christmas and leading everyone to wonder, “is she secretly Mrs. Claus?” Which yes, we totally saw coming because I am 100 percent positive that White IS already Mrs. Claus and she has yet to tell us.

Safe to say Lifetime holiday movies are quite legendary, which is why the Network would want to add White into the picture. White is an eight-time Emmy winner and was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by The Screen Actors Guild in 2010. As far as what other movies are coming up this season, Lifetime is said to have their third installment of its franchise about the former Royals Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle.

To no surprise, the new movie is about the duo leaving the royal family, with the TV movie said to be called, “Harry & Meghan: Escaping the Palace,” and will follow the couple’s controversial conscious to leave the crown after the birth of their beautiful son Archie.

The movie is set to detail the struggles of the new parents and their challenges of being part of the royal family, which led to Meghan and Harry to give up the Royalties and do a 360 forgoing a new life on their own terms. The new movie will follow 2018’s “Harry and Meghan: A Royal Romance” and 2019’s “Harry & Meghan: Becoming Royal.”

In case you were wondering, White, isn’t the only famous name on the list of Lifetime movies this year. Lifetime also announced that singer and actress Kelly Rowland will executive produce and star in a sequel to her 2019 film, “Merry Liddle Christmas,” and Jamie Lee Curtis is producing and starring in “How We Sleep at Night: The Sara Cunningham Story.” I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for this whole coronavirus pandemic to go and fast forward to Christmas because I’m so ready for these movies.
