Goldie Hawn Shares How She Once Blocked Daughter Kate Hudson from a Teenage Role

Goldie Hawn Shares How She Once Blocked Daughter Kate Hudson from a Teenage Role

Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic Goldie Hawn opened up about her approach to parenting three kids in show business She shared that people in the industry wanted her daughter Kate Hudson for a TV show while she was still in high school Hawn said she shut down the project, noting that she wanted Hudson to lead a "normal life" Goldie Hawnalways wanted a healthy balance for her kids despite their showbusiness background. The 79-year-old Oscar winner spoke about her approach to parenting three kids in the entertainment industry during a special screening of 1974'sThe Sugarland Expressat the Academy Museum in Los Angeles on Thursday, May 29. Hawn recalled early industry interest in her daughterKate Hudson, saying that she didn't allow theAlmost Famousstar to act while she was still in school. "I didn't call an agent and ask them to be represented. I never did that," Hawn said of her kids. "In fact, they wanted Katie for some show, and she was still in high school. And I didn't let her do it because I didn't want her at that age, I wanted her to live a normal life, finish school, at which point you figure that out, but don't start too soon." Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic And while she's proud of her kids' accomplishments, Hawn, who is also mom toOliver HudsonandWyatt Russellwith longtime loveKurt Russell, is more impressed by quality of their character. "What feels good is that they're amazing human beings," she said. "They happen to be talented... They're great humans, all of them. And all my grandchildren — now I have eight — and they're great humans." Calling her kids her "legacy," Hawn said that she doesn't give her children advice in the industry. "No, they have to cut their own way," she said. "They don't want advice from their parents. Who does?... Too much advice. And also they're doing it on their own." Hawn added that she doesn't feel any competition with her kids, saying she expects them to exceed her. "Who doesn't want to be bigger and better than their parents? That's the whole idea," she explained. "The fact that we supersede our parents, that's what we're supposed to do. So we wanted that. Kurt and I wanted that. And so when we look at it, we go, 'Oh my God, this is just so awesome.' " Never miss a story — sign up forPEOPLE's free daily newsletterto stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer​​, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. And Hawn is continuing the family's entertainment legacy with her grandchildren. Earlier this month,she told PEOPLEthat three of her grandkids will be in her short educational filmBrain Buddies. "I wrote and produced it, and three of my grandkids, Wilder, Bodhi, and Rio, did the voices," she told PEOPLE. Albert L. Ortega/Getty Wilder, 17, Bodhi, 14, and Rio, 11, who are the children ofOliver and his wife, Erinn, took on their grandma's new project. "What I loved is how well they followed the direction that I was giving them, and they were great at intonation and how they delivered the lines and what their characters are and all of it," she said. "So for me, it was a memorable joy that I will have for the rest of my life, and the children will never forget it," Hawn continued. Read the original article onPeople

Bono Wanted to 'Hide' and Felt 'Misunderstood' When He Got Famous. How He Finally Showed His True Self (Exclusive)

Bono Wanted to 'Hide' and Felt 'Misunderstood' When He Got Famous. How He Finally Showed His True Self (Exclusive)

Bono opens up about grappling with fame in his artist's statement for his new AppleTV+ film The U2 rockers reveals he spent the past five years trying to find himself Bono: Stories of Surrenderpremiered on May 30 Bonois getting candid about his experience living under the spotlight — and how that led to an identity crisis. On Friday, May 30, PEOPLE has an exclusive first look at the U2 rocker's artist's statement for his new AppleTV+ filmBono: Stories of Surrender, which is out now. In the statement, Bono, 65, opens up about grappling with fame. Between "wanting to be known and wanting to be hidden," Bono spent the past "five years" trying to "expose" who he really is. A result of that self-exploration was his 2022 memoirSURRENDER: 40 SONGS, ONE STORY,which eventually led to a stage adaptation — and now a documentary. Apple TV+ "Bono: Stories of Surrenderis a vivid reimagining of Bono's critically acclaimed one-man stage show,Stories of Surrender: An Evening of Words, Music and Some Mischief…,"reads the documentary's description."As he pulls back the curtain on a remarkable life and the family, friends and faith that have challenged and sustained him, he also reveals personal stories about his journey as a son, father, husband, activist and rock star." It adds, "Along with never-before-seen, exclusive footage from the tour, the film features Bono performing many of the iconic U2 songs that have shaped his life and legacy." Read Bono's artist's statement below. The great conflict that follows becoming famous is between wanting to be known and wanting to be hidden. The more exposed you are, the more you want to hide — which leads to masks and makeup and adopting a series of false faces. If you manage to succeed at that subterfuge for a few years, some part of you starts to resent being misunderstood (though you are yourself the author of those misunderstandings). Part of you wants to show your audience who you really are. It is a frightening prospect. What if you reveal your true face and they reject it? Then again, what if they don't? What if those people who cheered your image embrace your true self? You follow that thought until another one hits you. Do you even know anymore who you are? Has the public mask become your face? If you step into the spotlight and remove the disguise, will there be anything beneath it? Apple TV+ The past five years have been an extended period of my trying to expose my real face. When the planet locked down, I picked up a spade and began the work of excavating my own memories. Writing it all down. I told myself it was for myself. No one else would ever need to read it. As if I were not by trade and habit an exhibitionist! I came out of that long process of self-examination with a cinderblock of a hardcover book called SURRENDER: 40 SONGS, ONE STORY. I agreed to send it into the world. I was asked to record an audiobook and that became its own distinct production. Then, what had started out to be a conventional book tour with my reading a few paragraphs and signing (hopefully) more than a few copies, evolved into a tour of theatres across a couple of continents… admittedly on the smallest stage set Willie Williams would direct me on in 40 years… BUT this then became that… A stage adaptation written by one of my favorite writers/people, Bill Flanagan… AND I'm now on the road with this scripted one-man theatrical event, a cellist (Kate Ellis), a harpist (Gemma Doherty) and a musical magician (The Jacknife Lee ensemble) who all helped me reimagine U2 songs I thought I understood… Why stop there? Apple TV+ When the good people at Apple offered to film the theatre piece, it was easy to say yes. The show was up and running — "just bring in a few cameras and play it through on an off day." Enter the cinematic master that is Andrew Dominik. But — it was inevitable he would ask — "should a film not be a film? Something different from a play, with some bits moved and some other bits removed and new parts added and — while we are at it — a new set and lighting design?" And if the film of the tour of the original book has revealed new aspects of the story — should that not mean rewriting the book for the paperback release? And giving the revised book the name of the film: STORIES OF SURRENDER. Oh I'm so sorry… What a hall of mirrors we erect when we set out to show our real face. "We" and "our" being plural because in the end I look at this film and see a man of a thousand faces (at least…) Perhaps a man who is still unsure which one is true. A man still confused about who he is, who might have begun to know who he was, but who certainly has a clearer knowledge of where he came from. Read the original article onPeople

'Retro and fantastical' Wellington Square Bookshop in PA has used books, wishing fountain

Independent bookstores are the heartbeats of their communities. They provide culture and community, generate local jobs and sales tax revenue, promote literacy and education, champion and center diverse and new authors, connect readers to books in a personal and authentic way, and actively support the right to read and access to books in their communities. Each week,we profile an independent bookstore,sharing what makes each one special and getting their expert and unique book recommendations. This week we have bookseller Angella Meanix ofWellington Square Bookshopin Exton, Pennsylvania. What's your store's story? We've been open for around 14 years. We started as a used bookstore and evolved into a new and used bookstore. Now we've fully embraced the emporium aspect of our logo. We pride ourselves on our customer service. We have a wishing fountain, coffee bar and a popular Victorian-style couch at the back of the store where friends, lovers, coworkers and new acquaintances convene. We have a variety of gifts, oddities, old-school candies and more. It's a passion project – the owner is an avid reader and has interviewed hundreds of authors since the store's inception, a true book aficionado and antiquarian. What makes your independent bookstore unique? The staff are top notch, the space is retro and fantastical – full of mermaids and suncatchers in addition to books, gifts, and decor that is eclectic and beckons you to come in, relax, feel safe and recede from the world. What's your favorite section in your store? The cafe is where conversations take place, delicious snacks are eaten, where adults unwind after a long day at work and where children practice their "please and thank you's." What book do you love to recommend to customers and why? "A History of My Brief Body" by Billy-Ray Belcourt is unexpected and shares the most intimate story of a life most lyrically and poetically.  The writing is excellent and the book cracked me open. What book do you think deserves more attention and why? "Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome" by Joy DeGruy. It dives into the core of why chattel slavery has affected and still affects us all. It moves beyond correctness and semantics and offers an actual emotional and psychological breakdown of the damage done. It should be required reading in schools. Why is shopping at local, independent bookstores important? We believe it's the only way to really fall into a book you may have never otherwise encountered. When you choose a book off the shelf, the book next to it could change your life. You can't stumble across something this way online. Reading and collecting books is also a shared experience. Customers love to share their viewpoints and experiences, and it's exciting to be in a place where everyone shares a common interest in books. Book enthusiasts want to build their repertoire and broaden their knowledge, and that's what being around other book lovers can offer. There is no place like a well-run, friendly, independent bookstore. What are some of your store's events, programs, or partnerships coming up that you would like to share? Book clubs are our most popular and well-attended happenings. We offer them all year round for fiction, non-fiction and classics. We also host a Poetry Writer's Group the first Sunday of each month.

Lindsay Lohan shares struggles with LA after moving to Dubai to escape Hollywood stress

Lindsay Lohan shares struggles with LA after moving to Dubai to escape Hollywood stress

After nearly 30 years in the spotlight,Lindsay Lohantook a step back from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood and uprooted her life from Los Angeles to Dubai in 2014. Since then, the "Mean Girls" actress, 38, has not only become a wife and a mother, she has found peace within herself. Lohan, who appears on the cover ofElle's 2025 Summer Issue, opened up about her life overseas and what she's learned about herself, both personally and professionally, since making the move. "It's hard in L.A. Even taking my son to the park in L.A., I get stressed. I'm like, 'Are there cameras?' In New York, there's no worry; no one bothers us," said Lohan, who shares 1-year-old son Luai withhusband Bader Shammas. "Everyone has their own thing going on. There's a different kind of energy in New York. I'd rather have downtime in New York than I would in L.A." Lindsay Lohan Denies Plastic Surgery Claims, Shares Secrets Behind Her Dramatic Transformation "But the nice thing about L.A. is, I like space [and you get that here]. But I'm thinking as I'm saying this, the funny thing is, in Dubai I get all of those things. I get the privacy, I get the peace, I get the space. I don't have to worry there. I feel safe." Lohan, who began working at age 3 and gained stardom with her first movie role in the 1998 remake of "The Parent Trap," was thrown into the thick of Hollywood. Often facing public scrutiny, the "Freaky Friday" star had enough and moved to Dubai in 2014. Read On The Fox News App "I feel like some of [my work] got overshadowed by paparazzi and all that kind of stuff when I was younger, and that's kind of annoying. I wish that part didn't happen," Lindsay toldBustlein 2024. Click Here To Sign Up For The Entertainment Newsletter "I feel like that kind of took on a life of its own. So that's why I wanted to disappear. I was like, 'Unless there's no story here, they're not going to focus on just my work.'" In 2022, Lohan spoke about how she was taking control of her own narrative through social media. "When I first started out in the business, none of us had a say in how to control our own narrative," she toldCosmopolitan. "There were paparazzi pictures, and then people ran with it. So I think it's really good that, in this day and age, people can say who they are and who they want to be. And I admire and appreciate that. I'm a little jealous because I didn't have that. But I think it moves really fast, and I just try to keep up as best I can. And I check everything before I post it. I'll send it to people, because you have to." "You have to take everything people say with a grain of salt and just be you and slow down because everyone's so quick right now," she said. "People just don't stop. You've got to chill." Like What You're Reading? Click Here For More Entertainment News After moving to Dubai, Lohan quickly learned the power of saying "no" when it comes to picking and choosing professional projects. "They teach you to say 'yes' to everything, and that's not really what life's all about," she told Bustle of her earlier years in the industry. "I was like, 'What if I never fall in love? What if this never happens?' And it took me just taking time for me for all those doors to open and the 'yeses' to come, the things I wanted to say 'yes' to." Since her return to the big screen, Lohan, who stars alongside Jamie Lee Curtis in "Freakier Friday," said she's found that prioritizing herself makes a huge difference in her overall well-being. Lindsay Lohan Thrives In Personal, Professional Life As Father's Arrest Tops Years Of Family Turmoil "[Jamie and I] are both very family-oriented people. We always talk about that, and one of the other big things [she's taught me] is to always take care of yourself first," she told Elle. "Because without that, how can you do everything for everyone else?" "I love having a routine, and I like schedules," she continued. "So, my morning routine: waking up, writing in my journal, sipping my green tea, breakfast with my son, and then Pilates, making sure I go." Despite her hectic schedule, Lohan said the "most important thing" in her life is family. "I mean, it's the most important thing: my husband, my son and me. It's all about balance and, as I said, routine. Especially when you have a kid, routine is the most important thing. And whatever their routine is, I've got to live by that." Lohan is no stranger to criticism. With fame comes speculative curiosity, especially when it comes to her appearance. Elsewhere in the Elle interview, Lohan shut down rumors that she had a facelift. The star shared the secrets behind the skincare routine that she says has dramatically altered her look. "EveryonedoesBotox," Lohan said. "I drink this juice every morning. It's like carrot, ginger, lemon, olive oil, apple. I also drink a lot of green tea, a lot of water. I'm a big pickled beets person, so I put them in almost everything. My skincare is very specific. I'm trying out some serums now that I'm doing. I'm testing them." "Also, I'm a big believer in ice-cold water on your face when you wake up," the 38-year-old said. "I drink lemon juice a lot. I also put tons of chia seeds in my water. Eye patches I do every morning. I'm into lasers." "I did Morpheus8 (a noninvasive radiofrequency microneedling treatment) once, and then I realized my skin is so thin that I can't be doing that," Lohan said. "My skin changed after having my son. It got really sensitive. That's what really made me change my whole routine and diet and everything. I did blood tests, and I was like, 'I want to know everything I'm allergic to.' So I cut everything out, and that's kind of when everything started to change for me." Original article source:Lindsay Lohan shares struggles with LA after moving to Dubai to escape Hollywood stress
