Armie Hammer Is Cut Off From The Affluent Family Dynasty’s Financial Aid

-
Because even his relatives, the millionaire oil tycoon and founder of the Hammer family dynasty, Armand, do not want to know anything about him, luck has most certainly turned its back on Armie Hammer. The actor, who, as previously reported, manages unit rentals at a hotel in the Cayman Islands, started working because "his father doesn't want to help him anymore, and he was cut off from his family," a source told reporters. After a protracted scandal and claims of cannibalism, the goldmine ran dry, prompting Army to rehab. The Hammer family is still prospering in the interim. Thanks to the substantial money their great-grandfather Armand made at Occidental Petroleum in the 1950s. The actor's business-minded ancestor operated the company from 1957 until his passing in 1990. Michael, Armie's father, ultimately took over the company. He currently oversees the International Hammer Foundation, the Armand Hammer Foundation, and other family-named organizations. However, if the 1996 book Dossier: The Secret History of Armand Hammer by Jay Epstein is to be believed, the business tycoon has been connected to several controversies, from money laundering to Soviet spying. Andrew Brettler, Armie's lawyer, stated last Friday that due to the lack of communication between Armie and his client, he was unable to confirm or refute the news of Armie's new job. The attorney said: "I just believe it's terrible that if he offers a timeshare, the media will condemn him for having a "regular job." But Robert Downey Jr. is prepared to take him under his care while the family tries to forget about the "Call Me by Your Name" star. In order to avoid ongoing media attention, the Hollywood star funded Hammer's six-month treatment in a Florida recovery facility and granted Armie and his family permission to live in his home.

‘I lied to get the part’: Melvyn Hayes on his ‘angry young man’ beginnings – and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum

-
He was tipped to be the next Richard Burton – but ended up as crossdressing Gunner Gloria in the now controversial sitcom. As his breakthrough classic returns to the screen, Hayes looks back One day in 1957, Melvyn Hayes was on the set of a film called Woman in a Dressing Gown when a man sat down next to him. “I was getting paid £5 a day and I’d been on location for three days,” the actor recalls. “All I had to do was walk up to a house and put a newspaper through a letterbox. That was my part. Finished. I said to this bloke, ‘I can’t believe the waste of money on this film. Take me. You could have got a newspaper boy on £1 a day to do what I’m doing.’ Then I said, ‘What do you do then, you lazy bugger?’ And he said, ‘I’m the producer.’” Hayes, now 89, giggles at the memory of the cheek of himself at 23. Back then, £5 a day was a decent whack. His first job in showbiz, in the early 1950s, was as assistant to The Great Masoni, a magician who tasked Hayes with “disappearing twice daily

Elaha review – sex, patriarchy and second-generation identity

-
A sexually candid, seriously intentioned drama about a young Kurdish woman who feels she has to surgically ‘restore’ her virginity before her wedding There is a heartfelt and courageous performance from 28-year-old Syrian-born, German-based actor Bayan Layla in this drama about sex, patriarchy and second-generation immigrant identity. It is a drama which hits the buttons squarely and efficiently, but might perhaps have played better as a three-part TV drama. Layla plays Elaha, a young woman of Kurdish family background in a German town (director Milena Aboyan is herself German-based and Armenian-Kurdish). She has finished high school and is now attending classes on how to apply for jobs, picking up skills she uses mainly to help her dad find employment. There seems to be no discussion about university, despite her obvious intelligence. Her mum works hard minding Elaha’s younger sister and disabled kid brother, and Elaha has part-time work at a dry-cleaners; she is saving for her wedd

Gasoline Rainbow review – a free-ranging coming-of-age ode to the curiosity of youth

-
Billed as a gen Z road trip film, the Ross brothers’ first fiction feature offers more than you’d expect from the genre, with a focus on human interaction over plot In the opening seconds of the Ross brothers’ new film, a teenager professes his hope to discover a place “weirdos” like him can call home. The opening raises doubts about the novelty of what might follow: the trope of the high school outsider has been endlessly revisited. Gasoline Rainbow – billed as a gen Z road trip movie – starts off by replaying familiar images. As new high school graduates Makai, Micah, Nathaly, Nichole and Tony hit the road across Oregon for one final adventure together, we see the usual trappings of the genre: sing-alongs, parties by the campfire, and leaning out of car windows to enjoy the breeze and sweet call of freedom. We move into welcome new territory when a mishap leaves their van out of action, and the group are left in the hot desert trying to scrounge a path forward, meeting strangers al
