‘Talented artist’

She was born on May 2 1960 in Los Angeles to mum and dad Nina and Nick, and was described as a “talented artist”.

She was named after her great-grandmother.

Her obit states: “A talented artist, she shared her skills as an elementary art teacher at Augusta Independent School for several years.

“In high school, her academic achievements qualified her to be a National Merit Scholar.

“Her love for reading connected her with other readers in a local book club.

“She was also a member of the Augusta Art Guild and was a past grand marshal of Augusta’s Annual White Christmas Parade.”

Ada married Norman Zeidler, a retired army captain, in Augusta in 1987.

While she led a very private life, she supported her brother publicly over the years, including attending his wedding to wife Amal in Venice in 2014.

Ada was snapped standing next to Clooney on a boat as they rode along a canal in the Italian city.

The siblings grew up together in Kentucky.

Clooney told CBS This Morning in 2015: “My sister, I’m very close to.”

Their mum Nina told HGTV in 2006 how she once came home to find her children had thrown a house party, and had thrown cooked marshmallows all over the walls.

Both deaths have been ruled as a homicide by Los Angeles County medical examiners.

And, both died from multiple sharp force injuries. Only one cause of death has been listed on their reports.

Cops on the Los Angeles Board of Police Commissioners spoke briefly about the scene at the $13.5 million Brentwood home. 

Dominic Choi said the couple were found in the master bedroom of the home. 

“Officers conducted a thorough search of the residence to determine whether there was any additional victims or suspects,” he said.

“No one else was located.”

Los Angeles Fire Department was among the first agencies to rush to the Reiner home. 

The first call was made at 3:30pm and a unit was requested to respond to a Code two situation, as per dispatch audio obtained by People

A code two situation is where trucks respond with lights flashing and no sirens.

This was then upgraded to code three, where crews respond with sirens and flashing lights. 

The Reiners died on December 14, according to the medical examiner’s report.

A masseuse called the couple’s 27-year-old daughter, Romy, on Sunday when they weren’t let into the home. 

She found her dad’s dead body before suddenly charging out of the home, as reported by the New York Times.

Romy didn’t see her mom’s body before learning that she was also dead.

ADDICTION BATTLES

Nick has been candid about his battles with drug addiction.

His stints in rehab facilities began when he was just 15. 

Nick, also a producer, co-wrote the 2015 film Being Charlie and the inspiration behind it was his relationship with his dad during his addiction.

Charlie, played by Nick Robinson, becomes addicted to drugs and his dad in the movie urges him to get help.

The movie follows Charlie’s battle as he fails at different rehab programs.

“It was very, very hard going through it the first time, with these painful and difficult highs and lows,” Reiner said.

“And then making the movie dredged it all up again.”

Reiner said making the movie with Nick helped the two become closer.

“I said it to his face. I’ll say it on the air: He was the heart and soul of the film and any time I would get an opportunity to work with him I would do it,” he told NPR.

Tracy, who was adopted by Rob during his marriage to Penny Marshall, said she was left speechless.

The actress said: “I came from the greatest family ever.

“I don’t know what to say. I’m in shock.”

She added that she had seen her late dad at a family gathering just one day before horror knife attack.

TEARS FOR ROB

‘OBSESSION’

The iconic director was married to Marshall from 1971 to 1981, during which time he adopted Tracy.  

Rob, 78, and Michele, 68, were found dead by their other daughter Romy, 28, with their throats slit at their sprawling $13.5million Brentwood mansion on Sunday afternoon.

The Hollywood icon’s youngest son Nick has been charged with murder in connection with the grisly killing.

A source revealed to The U.S. Sun that Rob and Michele got into a heated public argument with Nick at a Hanukkah party on Saturday evening.

The clash is believed to have continued overnight at the family’s home where Rob and Michele were found dead at around 3:30pm local time.

The party was hosted by Conan O’Brien, according to TMZ.

Nick, 32, was booked into a Los Angeles jail on Monday morning, according to online records viewed by The U.S. Sun.

He has since been charged with murder and is being held at Parker Center Jail on $4 million bail, Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell announced during a press conference on Monday.

Nick, who reportedly lives in the Los Angeles area, is rarely seen in public since he opened up about his struggles with drug addiction in 2016.

He admitted to first going to rehab at the age of 25 and said his addiction issues even led him to being homeless at one point in his life, according to People.

“When I was out there, I could’ve died. It’s all luck. You roll the dice and you hope you make it,” Nick said.

In 2015, Nick and his father worked on the semi-autobiographical film, Hey Charlie, which centered around the entitled, drug-addicted son of a renowned actor turned political candidate in California.

Rob told the Los Angeles Times at the time that he had to push past trauma and tough memories during filming.

“It was very, very hard going through it the first time, with these painful and difficult highs and lows,” the beloved director told the outlet then.

“And then making the movie dredged it all up again.”

Fellow Hollywood stars paid tribute to both Rob and Michele.

Ex-Monty Python member Eric Idle said he had spoken to Rob the night before his death.

Paying his respects, he said: “Rob Reiner was a lovely man. I spoke to him last night for over an hour. I always enjoyed his company.

“I met him at his Dad’s in 1975. He was telling me about filming at Stonehenge and his thoughts for the future … I shall miss him.

“A clever, talented and very thoughtful man. So awful.”

Ben Stiller said Rob was one of his favourite directors, and called him “a kind caring person who was really really funny”.

Josh Gad, who voiced Olaf in Frozen, described Rob and his wife’s deaths as a “devastating” loss.

Actor John Cusack, who starred in Rob’s 1985 film The Sure Thing, said he “saw the soul in others”.

In 2021, she was rushed to hospital in Sydney after suffering from acute abdominal pain.

The issues caused Carpani, also known for her role in hit Aussie TV show McLeod’s Daughters, to even spend a few days in an intensive care unit before she was taken in for surgery.

She wrote at the time: “I was admitted to emergency with acute abdominal pain just over a week ago and spent a few days in the ICU.

“Was then moved to the surgical ward.”

Carpani said the pain had existed for some time before her issues severely worsened all of a sudden.

She added: “Basically it was a case of me not listening to my body and the pain [I tend to work through pain!] and allowing myself to get quite ill.”

She urged all her followers to always take note of any health woes and to get them checked out as soon as possible.

In a now heartbreaking post from last year, Carpani shared images of herself posing for a photoshoot following a bout of surgery.

Alongside the smiling images, Carpani explained: “My first time back in front of a camera for a photoshoot two days ago.

“No hospital gown, no awesome surgery socks ….[have to admit I miss the comfort].”

It is unclear what surgery the actress was recovering from at the time.

In June 2023, Carpani also underwent surgery on her eyes.

She wrote on Instagram: “After a life with horrific short-sightedness, wearing glasses from the age of 5, I bit the bullet and got ‘eyeball’ surgery.”

She later confirmed it was phakic intraocular lense replacement which is a vision correction surgery where a permanent artificial lens is implanted in the eye.

In an emotional statement, the star’s parents announced her shock passing.

They said: “It is with great sadness that Tony and Gael Carpani announce that their beautiful daughter, beloved Australian actress Rachael Carpani, unexpectedly but peacefully passed away after a long battle with chronic illness.”

She passed away on December 7 in the early hours of the morning.

Her family has said the funeral will be a “private event”.

Carpani was best known for her role as Jodi Fountain in the hit early 2000s series, McLeod’s Daughters.

She appeared on the show between 2001 and 2009 and earned two Logie nominations for her on-screen performance.

The Logies are Australia’s annual awards for television, celebrating Australian TV shows and personalities.

In 2007, Rachael was nominated for a Silver Logie for most popular actress, as well as the biggest award of the night, the Gold Logie.

She had also appeared in a number of films, including The Very Excellent Mr Dundee, Hating Alison Ashley and The Way Back.

More recently, she had a recurring role in hit Aussie soap Home and Away, playing Claudia Salini, an on-screen villain.

He then moved into directing with his most notable projects including the 1984 cult classic This Is Spinal Tap, The Princess Bride in 1987, and When Harry Met Sally in 1989.

In 1993, he was nominated for an Academy Award for “A Few Good Men,” which starred Jack Nicholson, Tom Cruise and Demi Moore.

Reiner’s production company Castle Rock Entertainment, which he co-founded, also helped to create Seinfeld and The Shawshank Redemption.

He would move between acting and directing right up until his death.

His most notable role in the past 15 years was as Jordan Belfort‘s dad in The Wolf of Wall Street alongside Leonardo DiCaprio.

This year he starred in both the critically acclaimed series The Bear and featured in the Spinal Tap II: The End Continues.

Michele was also known for her work as a producer and photographer.

Her most well known project saw her take the photo of Donald Trump which appears on the cover of his 1987 book Trump: The Art Of The Deal.

Reiner and Michele had been married since 1989 and shared three children together.

They first met while Reiner was directing When Harry Met Sally.

TRIBUTES POUR IN

Tributes for the beloved Hollywood couple quickly flooded in after reports of their deaths were announced.

John Cusack, who starred in Reiner’s film The Sure Thing, said: “Shocked by the death of Rob Reiner – a great man.”

Actor Josh Gad described Reiner as “one of the greatest directors of our time”.

Lord Of The Rings star Elijah Wood later posted: “Horrified to hear of the passing of Rob Reiner and his wonderful wife Michelle.

“So much love to their kids and family.”

Dozens of mourning fans took to the streets of Brentwood to pay their respects to the couple.

Among them was Larry David and Billy Crystal, according to neighbours.

Reiner was also a political force through his Democratic Party activism.

He was widely appreciated for his work as an outspoken supporter for LGBTQ equality and early childhood development.

Former US president Barack Obama paid tribute to Reiner saying he and his wife Michelle were “heartbroken by the tragic passing of Rob Reiner and his beloved wife, Michele”.

Former House speaker Nancy Pelosi described him as “creative, funny, and beloved” as she also paid tribute to Michele.

Simon Cowell reveals ‘horrific’ moment he learnt Liam Payne died while filming The Next Act & sweet gesture to family

HE held back tears in his Netflix documentary when he heard about the tragic death of One Direction star Liam Payne.

And I can reveal that, as a mark of respect, Simon Cowell sent the emotional footage from The Next Act to Liam’s family and his ex Cheryl Tweedy before it aired this week.

The six-parter sees Simon searching for the next big boyband after the record-breaking success of 1D on the X Factor in 2010.

After the series dropped on Wednesday, the music mogul said he felt he “had to tell” Liam’s loved ones his passing was acknowledged on the show.

Simon said: “In the middle, there was that moment with Liam, which was just horrific. That really threw us. I was very close to him and that was hard. We almost stopped filming. I had to go away, clear my head.

“We took a break for about two weeks. Before that it had been almost every day. I sent [parts of episode three] to Liam’s parents and Cheryl to see, for obvious reasons, and I said, ‘Look, I don’t want you to just see it when it airs’.

Simon Cowell reveals he’s planning wild TV show that will ‘disgust’ viewers

‘Made a promise’

“And so the production company sent it to them and they were fine with it. It was respectful, I think.”

The Next Act had been filming almost daily since December 2023, allowing cameras access to Simon’s talent hunt.

But he paused to consider if they should continue after Liam’s death in Buenos Aires, Argentina in October last year.

Liam and Cheryl, who were together for two years, share a son Bear, eight.

Simon said of Liam in the episode: “He was just so normal and down to earth, he always had a sparkle in his eye.

“Everyone adored him. You don’t know how you feel about someone until you lose them. I am going to genuinely miss him.”

After the two-week break, Simon said he realised he had made the show hopefuls “a promise”, so filming resumed.

The group, DECEMBER 10, have just signed a deal with EMI/Universal.

I was lucky enough to watch John, Cruz, Nicolas, Sean, Josh, Danny and Hendrik at a top-secret playback in London on Wednesday.

From what I saw, these boys will do Simon proud.

LILY COLLINS has had a Posh makeover for the fifth series of Netflix’s Emily In Paris.

The actress has channelled Victoria Beckham’s Spice Girl alter ego for the series, which kicks off on Thursday.

Director Andy Fleming told Biz on Sunday: “There is for sure a Posh Spice vibe going on this season. I noticed it straight away. I mean, her bob. Hello?”

It comes after Lily was stunned to meet her idol Victoria on the set of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Looks like this season will be full of girl power.

New kind of Proff

PROFESSOR GREEN has revealed that he wants to study psychology.

The London-born rapper, who was diagnosed with autism at the age of 40, said: “If I could pay my mortgage off tomorrow, I would go straight back into education.

“I would love to study psychology. I think it’s fascinating – the crossover between neuroscience and psychology.”

In the meantime, Pro Green is set to open healthy restaurant PG Fast Food in Glasgow next year.

Of its retro theme, he added: “It’s all very nostalgic for those of us who remember it – but it’s going to be future nostalgia for those who are creating new memories.”

JADE THIRLWALL doesn’t do fancy dress by halves.

The former Little Mix singer is one of the most costume-committed celebs – rivalled only by Heidi Klum on Halloween.

But even Heidi would have been green with envy when she saw what Jade wore on a night out in London on Friday.

The singer, who turns 33 on Boxing Day, went all out and dressed up as the female Grinch character.

She even persuaded her boyfriend, Rizzle Kicks rapper Jordan Stephens, to go with the green theme.

Taylor hands mega bonuses to crew

HER record-breaking Eras Tour propelled Taylor Swift to billionaire status.

And after making fans’ dreams come true with her dazzling show, the US superstar did the same for her tour crew.

The Shake It Off hitmaker is believed to have handed out $197million – around £148million – in bonuses to every person who helped with her shows.

Taylor thanked each crew member with a handwritten letter, sealed with a wax stamp, and a bonus – with each of her truck drivers understood to have received cheques for $100,000 (£75,000).

One insider, who worked in catering, said they were able to pay off their student loan and still have thousands of dollars left over.

And in her new Disney+ documentary, The End Of An Era, Taylor is seen handing out the huge cheques to her dancers.

She said: “It took me a couple of weeks – but it is fun to write the notes.

“It is fun to think about everyone’s lives that they are going to go back to and the time off they are going to have. And the kids they haven’t seen because they have been away for months and making that worthwhile for them.

“It feels like Christmas morning when you finally get to say thank you.”

Speaking to her dancers, Taylor said: “The tour has done really well thanks to all of our hard work so if you would kindly read this message . . . ”

Handing the letter to dancer Kam Saunders, he read: “Dearest Kam, we have travelled the world like we set out to do.

“We have dazzled the crowds but we have missed family too.

“My full gratitude doesn’t come from the bank – but here’s (bleeped out) just to say thanks. Love, Taylor.”

The dancers were seen hugging and crying after receiving the life-changing bonuses.

One dancer even clutched an inhaler after opening her letter.

I imagine I would have hyperventilated as well.

Oasis bank fortune for reunion tour

Liam and Noel Gallagher made $405,428,435, sold 2,228,471 tickets to their long-awaited reunion gigs, with a nightly revenue of $11,261,901 – £8,430,546.47Credit: Getty

THE drinks are on the Gallagher brothers this Christmas after the Oasis Live ’25 comeback tour raked in an incredible £303million.

New stats by US music mag Pollstar have revealed Britpop pioneers Noel and Liam made $405,428,435, sold 2,228,471 tickets to their long-awaited reunion gigs, with a nightly revenue of $11,261,901 – £8,430,546.47.

Their 41-date trek spanned five continents and 13 countries between July and November.

And the siblings played to an average of 61,902 people per night.

Meanwhile, the average fan is believed to have spent £136 on a ticket.

I revealed last week that Noel, who has an estimated net worth of £53million, was whisking his family off to the Maldives for a festive getaway after five months on the road.

Oasis ranked No2 in the biggest-grossing tours of 2025 – with US superstar Beyonce holding the top spot .

The Texas Hold ’Em hitmaker saw her Cowboy Carter Tour gross $407,600,113, (around £305million), with an average ticket price of £191.

Coldplay were third, followed by Kendrick Lamar/SZA.

But Shakira, The Weeknd and Lady Gaga all had to settle for spots further down the Top Ten.

Some might say Noel and Liam nailed it . . .

THEY rose to fame as teenagers on a US TV series about a boy band – and 16 years later Big Time Rush have revealed they have a whole new generation of fans, thanks to Netflix.

The streaming giant gave a new lease of life to the original series of the sitcom, which first aired in the States from 2009 to 2013 and featured the group playing a fictionalised version of themselves.

Biz on Sunday’s Emily chatted to band members Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow, Carlos Penavega and Logan Henderson backstage ahead of their final tour date at London’s Ovo Arena Wembley on Thursday.

Kendall said: “We got lucky during Covid because Netflix picked up the show. Everybody was at home just binge watching stuff, so this whole new generation of kids started watching it.”

Carlos added: “It’s weird seeing my kids come to the show because they didn’t even exist back then.”

Asked how touring compares now they are in their 30s, Kendall replied: “We all definitely went out a lot more in our 20s – but now I truly enjoy getting up early and getting to see different aspects of the city.”

Logan added: “When we were younger, things were moving so fast we didn’t really get a chance to breathe and really soak it in.”

From what I saw on Thursday night, the boys are still on their A-game.

“It’s with a heavy heart to let you guys know that my Dad passed away today…,” he wrote.

A cause of death has not yet been revealed.

He famously managed the career of his daughter Selena, overseeing her rise to fame in the late 1980s before she was killed in 1995.

The iconic singer known for her hits including Como la Flor and Dreaming of You, was murdered in Texas by her friend and former nurse Yolanda Saldivar.

Saldivar was president of Selena’s fan club and manager of her boutiques business, jobs that she lost shortly before the murder after it was discovered that she had been embezzling money.

She was denied parole in March this year after being sentenced to 30 years to life behind bars in October 1995.

Her next opportunity for parole will be in March 2030.

After the death of his daughter, Abraham made it his mission to preserve her legacy as the Queen of Tejano Music and one of the greatest Latino artists of all time, as named by Billboard magazine.

Most read in Entertainment

News of her murder shocked the nation, especially those in her home state of Texas, with the then governor George W. Bush declaring April 16 as Selena Day.

Her album, Dreaming of You, released after her death, soared to the top of the Billboard 200 – a first for a Latin artist.

Two years later, the film Selena was released by Warner Bros, starring Jennifer Lopez at the beginning of her career.

Selena: The Series was released by Netflix in 2020, documenting her life and career and featuring Christian Serratos from The Walking Dead.

This has been followed this year by the November release of the new Netflix doc, Selena y Los Dinos: A Family’s Legacy.

It is told by her immediate family including her father.

In it, he recalled the time he first took his daughter to a record label in San Antonio with the hope of launching her career.

“At first, they were skeptical because it’s a girl — and a young girl. I said, ‘Well, let’s give it a try one time,’” he said.

It was then that she recorded her first song and was catapulted to fame.

No foul play is suspected and the cause of death will be determined by the medical examiner, cops said.

Greene’s long time manager Gregg Edwards told the New York Post: “He was a terrific guy.

“Truly one of the great actors of our generation.

“His heart was as big as there was. I’m going to miss him. He was a great friend.”

KNIGHT FALLS

Beloved voice actor of Fairly Odd Parents & Star Wars fame Jim Ward dead at 66

Greene built a reputation in the 1990s as one of Hollywood’s most memorable screen villains.

He played Zed, the sadistic security guard in Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 hit Pulp Fiction, and ruthless mobster Dorian Tyrell opposite Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz in The Mask the same year.

Edwards said: “Nobody played a bad guy better than Peter.

“But he also had, you know, a gentle side that most people never saw, and a heart as big as gold.”

With nearly 95 screen credits, Greene appeared in The Usual Suspects, Training Day, Blue Streak, and Laws of Gravity.

He also starred in Clean, Shaven – a 1993 indie film that earned critical acclaim for his portrayal of a man with schizophrenia.

A New York Times review said his performance turned the role “into a compellingly anguished, volatile character.”

Edwards revealed Greene was preparing to begin production in January on an independent thriller titled Mascots alongside Mickey Rourke.

After notifying the film’s writer-director Kerry Mondragón of the death, Edwards said “they were very upset.”

While Greene had a reputation for being difficult on set, his manager said it stemmed from high standards.

He was “a perfectionist who gave every job his all and wanted his performance to be just ‘right’,” according to Edwards.

“He worked with so many amazing actors and directors,” the manager said, adding that his role in The Mask was “arguably his best role.”

Peter Greene was born on October 8, 1965, in Montclair, New Jersey.

At 15, Greene ran away from home and lived on the streets of New York City, where he struggled with drug addiction.

Greene is survived by a sister and a brother.

SHOCK LOSS

Jimmy Neutron actor Jeff Garcia dead at 50 after ‘being taken off life support’

“Please keep her family and friends in prayer as they navigate this difficult time. Camryn will live on in our hearts forever.”

Camryn died last Friday after being struck in Fort Myers, Florida, according to multiple reports.

Born in Denver, Colorado, in 1999, she began her career at eight, posting YouTube videos that led to a record deal and a move to Los Angeles.

Her debut single Wait and See featured in the 2011 film Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer.

She toured with Cody Simpson and Greyson Chance in 2011 before joining One Direction as a support act for seven US dates on their 2012 Up All Night Tour.

The band then brought her back for 63 shows on their 2013 Take Me Home Tour.

Reflecting on that breakthrough, she previously told Teen Vogue: “Going into the tour, I was an unknown artist.

“It’s a great feeling to be walking around and someone coming up to me and saying, ‘Hey, you did so well!’. It was really exciting for me when that happened for the first time.”

Camryn later supported Fifth Harmony and released a run of singles, along with her 2017 album Glow.

Her official obituary described her as “beloved” as a “daughter, sister, fiancée, granddaughter, and friend” who died “far too young, and long before her light was ever meant to leave this world”.

It remembered her as a “vibrant, fearless, and deeply loved young woman whose compassion, humour, and bright spirit touched every person blessed to know her.”

It added: “A gifted performer, Camryn’s voice and music were extensions of her soul.

“Whether she was on a stage, at a family gathering, or sharing a song with someone who needed it, Camryn’s music was a reflection of her heart, her courage, and her endless creativity.”

Camryn Magness is survived by her parents, Sarah and Gary; siblings Chelsea and Cable; and her fiancée, Christian.

She even revealed how the dreams he had in the run up to his passing predicted his tragic death.

Sitting down with Piers, Sharon emotionally opened up about her late husband almost five months on from his passing.

Ozzy, who had performed a final farewell gig at his home town of Birmingham‘s Villa Park stadium just days earlier, had been battling health issues for some time.

He was plagued by vivid dreams in his final days before his death in July.

Sharon, who had been married to the star since 1982 and has three children with the Black Sabbath frontman, admits her own regrets over his final weeks as he experienced the vivid dreams.

She told Piers in the new interview: “I felt fear, regret, I just couldn’t function.

“Like, he told me that he was having dreams the last week of his life.

“He was seeing people that he never knew, and they were I said, ‘Well, what kind of people?’ 

“He goes, ‘All different people. And I just keep walking and walking, and I’m seeing all these different people every night, and I go back there and I’m looking at these people, and they’re looking at me, and nobody’s talking’. 

“And he knew. He was ready.”

She added: “Really, really vivid dreams.

“The night before he passed, he was up and down to the bathroom all night, and it was like 4:30 and he said, ‘Wake up’. I said, ‘I’m already bloody awake, you’ve woken me up’. 

“And he said, ‘Kiss me’. And then he said, ‘Hug me  tight?’

“I can’t help wondering if I should have, could I have?

“If only I’d have told him I loved him more. If only I’d have held him tighter.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Sharon revealed Ozzy had asked her, in his final weeks, if she would ever remarry.

“Everything in my life now is like ish..,” she explained while wiping away tears. “It’s okay, all right. I’m okay. That’s it for now.

“For so, so many years, we were intertwined, and not it’s really grief has become my friend.

“It’s very weird to me. You know, when you love someone that much and you’re grieving for them, it’s what I have to live with, and I’ll get used to it. I will. I have to, you know, things move on.

“One night when he was hugging me tight, you know, he said ‘When I go, do you think you’ll ever get married?’

“I’m like, “fuck off, piss off”. Questions like that. You know. 

“Oh, my God no, never, ever, ever, no.”
