Home Alone legend in unlikely feud with Bono over U2 frontman’s wild late-night party at his California mansion
NEVER mind Noel v Liam or Sharon Osbourne v Amanda Holden – there is a new feud rocking the world of showbiz.
And it is the most unlikely grudge match I’ve ever heard.
Remember crook Marv Murchins from the Home Alone movies?
It turns out he, well, the actor who played him, Daniel Stern, went toe-to-toe with Bono after working himself up into a fit of rage over a late-night party the U2 rocker was having at his neighbouring house in Malibu, California.
Daniel revealed the row in his new book, imaginatively called Home And Alone, where he details his fury at the Irish singer and his pals — who he branded “pretentious a**holes” because they had the music blaring at 1am.
The actor claimed it was as noisy as a nightclub and that: “By one in the morning, I was out of my mind.”
He called a neighbour, and continued: “It turned out he had rented the house to Bono (yes, that Bono), who was having a birthday party for his daughter.”
Then, according to Dan, he went full Karen.
Dan wrote: “I called the police and told them that there was an unlawful party going on and that I was going over there to shut it down and I hoped they would join me.
“I hopped in my truck . . . and headed in . . . I lost it. I started ranting, ‘Shut the f***ing music off’. Families with children are trying to sleep and instead we all have to listen to this s**tty music all night long?
“Shut it off! You don’t even live here, you f***ing pretentious a**holes.”
Security at the bash tried to stop Dan, who said he can look “pretty insane and scary when I lose my s***”.
Local coppers shut the party down. They do say silence is the Sweetest Thing.
Bono, over to you . . .
Jada supports Bad Boy Will
THEY have been living separate lives for seven years but Will Smith still had estranged wife Jada by his side at the premiere of the star’s movie Bad Boys: Ride Or Die in Dubai on Wednesday.
The fourth film in the Bad Boys franchise will be out on June 5, and I expect it will be another hit – but not the painful sort he landed on Chris Rock at the Oscars two years ago.
Who the Ek is that with Cara?
CARA Delevingne took a break from treading the boards in Cabaret in the West End to rub shoulders with Love Island’s Ekin-Su Culculoglu, of all people.
The A-lister jetted out to Cannes on a whirlwind trip on Wednesday to attend a swanky film festival bash, where she wore this plunging black blazer with chunky gold jewellery.
Ekin-Su somehow managed to blag an invite to France too following her stint in Celebrity Big Brother.
I doubt Cara will be following her into the ITV2 house any time soon.
LIZZO: THE CLOUD IS CLEARING
LIZZO has almost completed her first album in two years – but this one won’t be as joyous as usual.
She had her name dragged through the mud last August by former backing dancers who accused her of inappropriate behaviour, which she denies.
Now she has revealed the anguish caused by the allegations.
Lizzo wrote on Instagram: “I’m the happiest I’ve been in ten months. The strange thing about depression is you don’t know you’re in it until you’re out of it.
“I’m definitely not as carefree as I used to be. But the dark cloud that followed me is finally clearing up.
“I thought my album was finished . . . but I gotta get some of these good vibes off in a banger real quick. Thanks for your patience.”
BECKY: MY ASSAULT
BECKY HILL has revealed she was sexually assaulted by a male friend when she was 21.
The two-time Brit Award winner, now 30, said she reported it to the police and that it has still been “eating away” at her over the years.
Becky said: “I had to keep it to myself because I knew none of the friends I had at the time would believe me.
“I’ve always classed myself as a strong bitch. I like to think I can take a lot of s**t, but with that, it felt like something had left me that will never come back.
“I’ll never get that bit back of me. That moment will stay with me for the rest of my life.”
In an interview with the Glamour UK May digital issue, which is online now, she said about reporting the incident: “With rape and sexual assault, the numbers on reporting are so low that I wanted to be able to sit with my future children and if, God forbid, the same happens to them, say, ‘You know what? When I was your age, I went to the police and reported it, and it was really powerful for me’.”
She sings about the experience in new single True Colours, which is released this morning, and hopes it will encourage schools to teach kids about consent.
Becky added: “It was something I was never taught about, nor any of the other people in my age group.
“And I feel like I was let down by the education system because of that.”
Hear hear.
RAPPER'S ARRD PARTY ON YACHT
BRITISH rapper Arrdee almost died on his 20th birthday after a storm hit the yacht he was on in Ibiza.
He said people were “knocked out” and DJ decks went “flying off the boat”.
Recalling the captain’s actions, ArrDee, inset, told the Saving Grace podcast: “He’s thrown the anchor down and we’ve just heard this snap. The anchor’s broken off.
“We got back and I’m like, ‘How close was we to capsizing?’. He was like, ‘There were two times I was gonna dive off the boat’.”
That’s not reassuring for my summer holidays.
ArrDee is back today with new tune Heavyweight, while other releases include Caught Up, by Flo, Turn It Up, by PinkPantheress, and Love Bites by Nelly Furtado featuring Tove Lo and SG Lewis.
