Actor, writer and director Aml Ameen is plotting a sequel to festive film Boxing Day, as well as thriller project Night And Day, here are the details.
While Britain has produced a number of films that grew into festive favourites like Scrooge, Love, Actually and Arthur Christmas, there are a number of festive films that flew under the radar, like Eddie Izzard’s Lost Christmas.
One such film is Boxing Day, which was released in 2019. Notable as being the first British Christmas film with an almost entirely black cast. It came from actor and writer Aml Ameen, who directed the film and co-wrote the script with Bruce Purnell.
He also starred as Melvin Mackenzie, a successful author who returns home to confront his chaotic family and his past. Aja Naomi King played Lisa, a Hollywood casting director who accompanies Ameen’s Melvin home to face Georgia, his chart-topping pop-star ex,...

Michael Oher – the former NFL tackle whose story was the subject of the Oscar-winning The Blind Side – has apparently demanded Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy pony up $15 million in royalties from the movie after they allegedly exploited his life. And if they don’t, he’ll go right to the place where this sort of story flourishes: TMZ.
As per TMZ – who has obtained legal documents over the strife between Oher and the Tuohy family – the former football player would claim that the Tuohy family “robbed [him] of fifty million+”, although he significantly lowered the number to $10 million as the case progressed. After Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy rebuffed that number, he upped it to $15 million after taxes. Oher has allegedly continued his threats. According to one text, Oher wrote, “If something isn’t resolved this Friday, I’m going to go ahead and tell the world, how I was robbed...

Micahel Oher demanded that Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy stop calling themselves his parents after the termination of his conservatorship in a new court filing.
Oher has filed a motion to prevent the Tuohy’s from profiting off his name, image and likeness alongside claims that the Tuohy’s adopted Oher or are their adopted parents.
In court documents, which were filed on November 14 in the probate court of Shelby County, Tennessee, Oher claims that the Tuohys are continuing to “perpetuate false claims that they adopted him” and continuing with “book events” as Oher’s parents without his consent.
The filing was cited in response to an event at Eastern State Florida College in which Leigh Anne was scheduled to be one of the guest speakers with the description of her being “the adoptive mother of NFL football star Oher.”

Michael Oher‘s conservatorship will officially be terminated.
The 37-year-old retired NFL star filed a lawsuit in August asking to have the conservatorship that he entered when he was adopted by Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy dissolved. His relationship with the family inspired the hit movie The Blind Side.
On Friday (September 29), a judge agreed to honor Michael‘s request.
Keep reading to find out more…
People confirmed that Judge Kathleen Gomes announced that she would be freeing the athlete from the conservatorship. This will effectively give him back control of his finances, which the Tuohy’s assumed when he signed the paperwork.
In his initial filing, Michael alleged that he was tricked into the conservatorship and had not received royalties for The Blind Side.
Sean responded, denying the latter claim. The family’s lawyer also alleged that Michael threatened to leak unflattering stories to the press.

Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy claim in new court docs that they referred to the NFL alum as a ‘son’ in the ‘colloquial sense.’
Sean Tuohy and Leigh Anne Tuohy have filed a response to Michael Oher‘s lawsuit. In the new legal documents, which Et obtained, the Tuohys deny Michael’s claim that they lied about adopting him and tricked him into making them his conservators in order to profit off of his story.
Rather, in the Tuohys’ response, the couple claims “they never intended to, and in fact never did, take any assumed legal custody” of Michael when they took him in as a teenager. Further, they “vehemently deny” that they told Michael “that they intended to legally adopt him.”
Even so, the Tuohys admit that they “occasionally referred to [Michael] as a son” and have “always felt [he] was like a son.” However, the Tuohys alleged that the word...

The producers behind the Academy Award-winning movie The Blind Side have published a detailed statement addressing a legal filing by former NFL player Michael Oher, whom the film depicts.
Oher’s lawsuit against Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy has questioned the movie’s accuracy. In a legal petition against the Tuohy’s, Oher claims that the couple lied about adopting him and that the two manipulated him at 18 into naming them his conservators. Oher also alleges that he didn’t get any of the box office profits that the Tuohy family received.
Blind Side producers Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove are now defending the film as accurate.
“The Blind Side is verifiably authentic and will never be a lie or fake, regardless of the familial ups and downs that have occurred subsequent to the film. We are as proud of the film today as we were when our amazing collaborators made the movie 14 years ago,...

Who would have thought 2009’s The Blind Side would be tied to one of the strangest entertainment stories of 2023? Earlier this month, former pro football player Michel Oher launched a lawsuit that claims Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy exploited the story to profit millions of dollars without cutting Oher himself in. Now, producers on the Oscar-winning movie have chimed in, saying that it remains “authentic” despite what has and will come out during the legal battle.
In a statement shared with Entertainment Weekly, Broderick Johnson and Andrew A.

Michael Oher has been keeping his lawyers busy, with People reporting on a new legal filing this week claiming that Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy had not shared any financial information with him in nearly two decades, with Oher alleging he “has been kept in the dark” the whole time.
Oher sued his puportedly adoptive parents — whose story was dramatized in 2009 Oscar winner “The Blind Side” — last week, alleging they never actually adopted him, but instead tricked him into signing a document placing him into a conservatorship. He’s asking that conservatorship, which began when he was 18, be ended.
In his new filing, the retired NFL player is seeking an accounting of his finances in order to determine how much money they’ve made from his name, giving the Tuohys a two-week deadline to comply.

The Blind Side, the acclaimed film that portrays the life of professional football player Michael Oher, has captivated audiences since its release. But how much of the story is grounded in reality?

Michael Oher claims the Tuohy family never adopted him

Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy were seen strolling around their neighbourhood in Florida over the weekend, marking the first time they’ve been seen in public since Michael Oher filed his high-profile lawsuit against his former adoptive parents.
In photos obtained and published by The Daily Mail, the Tuohys were spotted taking a walk in the Santa Rosa Beach area of Florida.
Leigh Anne wore a white t-shirt and a pink tennis skirt along with white sneakers, and a hot pink fanny pack while rocking white earbuds.
Meanwhile, Sean walked alongside her in dark blue shorts and a light blue t-shirt, as they strolled and chatted with an unknown third person.

Over the past week, some have called for Sandra Bullock to return the Academy Award she won for playing Leigh Anne Tuohy in 2009’s The Blind Side – and not because she didn’t deserve it. Rather, the outcry stems from former pro football player Michael Oher claiming that Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy never actually adopted him and instead used the story for financial gains, a discovery he made nearly 15 years after The Blind Side came out.
So, why are people calling for Sandra Bullock to return her Oscar for The Blind Side, which she won by beating out the likes of Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren? We’re afraid the attempts to find any logic within the situation have come up with absolutely nothing, since obviously (or so we thought…) the reception of The Blind Side and the numerous accolades Sandra Bullock received (also including a Golden Globe and...

‘The Blind Side’ Subject Michael Oher’s High School Football Coach Addresses Conservatorship Lawsuit
Michael Oher‘s high school football coach is weighing in on the lawsuit between Oher and the Tuohy family.
The 37-year-old former NFL pro filed a lawsuit on Monday that alleges that Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy tricked him into a conservatorship and lied about his adoption status when he was 18.
Auburn coach Hugh Freeze, who coached Oher at Briarcrest Christian School in Memphis, called the legal drama “sad.”
“I think it’s sad. I certainly don’t claim to understand all the ins and outs of adoption, conservatory, all of that. I know what I witnessed,” Freeze said Thursday, per The Athletic’s David Ubben. “I witnessed a family that totally took in a young man and I think without that, there is no story.”
Although Freeze said he’s not aware of the specific details surrounding the lawsuit, he defended the Tuohys, calling their handling of the situation...

In light of the recent legal drama between Michael Oher and the Tuohy family, a 2017 episode of Below Deck featuring Sean Tuohy and Leigh Anne Tuohy in which Sean claims he required script approval for the film The Blind Side has resurfaced on TikTok.
In the clip from user @itsabigailadams, patriarch Sean is discussing how the team behind The Blind Side movie gained the rights to use the Tuohy family’s name.
“The writer of the book, he and I went to school together since we were five years old,” Sean says, referencing writing Michael Lewis, who penned the book that the movie was adapted from. “So I get a call — Steven Spielberg, Harvey Weinstein — I had to give them the rights to use our name, and I said, ‘I’ll give you the rights if I get to read the script and approve it or un-approve it.’ So, sure enough,...

How Does ‘The Blind Side’ Look in Light of Michael Oher’s Lawsuit? Even More Fake Than It Did Before
It’s a clockwork ritual of awards season. A movie in contention, one based on a true story, will be dinged for presenting a version of reality that isn’t real enough. The critical chatter often starts on Twitter, but it can come from anywhere, ultimately spreading to the mainstream media. We’ve seen this happen with dramas as disparate as “A Beautiful Mind” and “Green Book” and “Mank.” The original source of the attack can often be a rival studio, out to damage an awards competitor (a tactic that was turned into a kind of bloodsport by Harvey Weinstein). Yet it’s a curious thing: By the time the Oscars have come and gone, the criticisms tend to roll right off the movie in question. It’s as if, awards season aside, they never mattered all that much in the first place.

"The Blind Side," which netted Sandra Bullock an Oscar in 2010 for her portrayal of Leigh Anne Tuohy, is framed as an inspirational true story about how Leigh Anne and her husband, Sean Tuohy, adopted a young athlete named Michael Oher who was struggling with homelessness and helped him achieve his football dreams.
But Oher is alleging that a key aspect of the film's plot was a lie. On Aug. 14, per The New York Times, Oher, now a retired NFL athlete, petitioned a Tennessee court to terminate his legal relationship with the Tuohy family. In the petition, he claimed that the family never actually adopted him but instead urged him to enter a conservatorship, allowing them to profit off his life story.

Actress Sandra Bullock was spotted in public for the first time since the death of her boyfriend Bryan Randall, who passed away on August 5, 2023, after battling Als. As reported by The Mirror, the 59-year-old drove around Beverly Hills with a dog sitting in her lap, just hours after NFL star Michael Oher filed a lawsuit against Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy for lying about legally adopting him and using his story for their own personal profit in the hit film ‘The Blind Side’, for which Bullock earned a Best Actress Academy Award for in 2010.
Sandra and Bryan met in 2015 when he was working as a photographer for her child’s birthday party and had been in a long-term relationship ever since. The A-lister said that Bryan was a “saint” and the “love of her life” just two years ago amid his secret health battle.

An attorney for Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy has issued a response to Michael Oher’s petition against them, which alleged that the couple deceived Oher into making the pair his conservators at age 18 and that he has not shared in the revenue from the feature “The Blind Side,” which drew from his life story.
The Tuohys’ attorney, Marty Singer, distributed a lengthy statement on Tuesday afternoon, alleging that Oher had “threatened” the couple by saying that “he would plant a negative story about them in the press unless they paid him $15 million” and dismissing the petition as “a ludicrous lawsuit” and a “cynical attempt to drum up attention in the middle of his latest book tour.”
“The Tuohys opened their home to Mr. Oher, offered him structure, support and, most of all, unconditional love. They have consistently treated him like a son and one of their three children. His response was to threaten them,...

Michael Oher was the subject of The Blind Side, a movie which followed a homeless and traumatized Black teenager who becomes an All-American football player and first-round NFL draft pick with the help of his caring adoptive parents played by Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw. However, Michael Oher made some serious allegations against The Blind Side family yesterday, saying that they deceived him about being adopted and deprived him of earnings from the movie. The family has now responded to the allegations through their attorney, Marty Singer.
Marty Singer said that the “outlandish claims” made by Michael Oher about Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy are “hurtful and absurd,” and the idea that the family “have ever sought to profit off Mr. Oher is not only offensive, it is transparently ridiculous.” Singer also said that Oher has “attempted to run this play several times before – but it seems that numerous other...

A day after Michael Oher, the former NFL player and subject of the 2009 movie The Blind Side, alleged in a court filing that the family who took him in as a young player had deceived him about being adopted and deprived him of earnings from the Oscar-nominated film, the family has hit back.
A long rebuttal by Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy’s high-powered entertainment attorney Marty Singer made public Tuesday said Oher’s claims “that the Tuohys have ever sought to profit off Mr. Oher is not only offensive, it is transparently ridiculous.”
Singer also said Oher recently “started to threaten [the family] about what he would do unless they paid him an eight-figure windfall, and, as part of that shakedown effort refused to cash the small profit checks from the Tuohys, they still deposited Mr. Oher’s equal share into a trust account they set up for his son.”

Michael Oher, former NFL player and subject of the hit film The Blind Side, has petitioned a court with allegations that the Tuohy family lied to him about his adoption and used it to trick him into earning them millions.
In a 14-page petition that was filed Monday, Oher accuses Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy of tricking him into agreeing to a conservatorship by telling him that it was almost the same thing as adoption.
He detailed the situation in his memoir I Beat the Odds. “They explained to me that it means pretty much the exact same thing as ‘adoptive parents,’ but that the laws were just written in a way that took my age into account,” he wrote.
He alleges that the Tuohys failed to explain that Oher would be giving them the legal authority to make business decisions without his consent.

Captain Lee Rosbach once said that Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy, who rose to fame being portrayed in the book and film The Blind Side, were his favorite Below Deck charter guests of all time.
The Tuohys’ story of how they adopted an underprivileged child who eventually played in the NFL was heartwarming. But now Michael Oher, who the Tuohys claimed to have adopted, said the story was a lie. Oher alleges that the couple lied about their intentions to adopt him, and instead put him in a conservatorship. This essentially removed his legal rights. Oher said he never received any royalties or money from the film.
He is now suing the Tuohys. When asked for his thoughts on the latest news about the couple, Rosbach only said, “They were one of my favorite charters ever.” So why did Rosbach say Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy were one of his favorites?...

The singer and Little Mix member, who just released her first-ever solo single “Don’t Say Love”, reveals that although she supports whatever her children want to do in the future, she doesn’t want them to face the racism she’s faced.

Pinnock chatted to Et Canada’s Carlos Bustamante about being a perfectionist and whether she sees that as more of a gift or a curse.
The musician shared, “A bit of both, to be honest. Like, it’s actually quite annoying sometimes because to me… it might not seem good enough, but then somebody else is like, ‘What are you talking about? This is great.’
“I sometimes feel like I can get in my head. And I think that’s quite natural… I don’t know. It’s such a journey for me. Like I’ve… when I was in the group, I lost so much confidence. And I had this feeling of like, I felt overlooked and undervalued for a very long time.

Jesy Nelson ‘disgusted’ by media coverage of her latest remarks about ‘ongoing feud’ with Little Mix
Jesy Nelson has expressed outrage over the media’s focus on her “ongoing feud” with Little Mix rather than her new single.
In a recent interview to promote her latest song, “Bad Thing”, the 31-year-old English singer revealed she hadn’t spoken to her former Little Mix bandmates in over two years.
Since the article’s publishment on Monday (17 April) by The Sun, several outlets have picked up Nelson’s comments on Little Mix.
The following day, the singer addressed the situation in a video posted to her Instagram Stories, angrily saying she had woken up “to about twenty-f***ing-five articles about me and the fact that I haven’t spoken to Little Mix in two years, and the ‘ongoing feud’”.
“It’s just f***ing bulls***. I just feel like women just get pitted against each other 24/7 in music, and I hate it. I think it’s disgusting,” Nelson said.

Despite the girl band selling over 60 million records worldwide and dominating the charts with hits like "Shout Out to my Ex" and "Black Magic," the foursome became three in December 2020. And Nelson has explained in a new interview with The Sun that she hasn't spoken to her former bandmates Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock ever since.
"I will say this always, your mental health is the most important thing. You only live once so sometimes you have to stop and look after yourself.

On Sunday 1 January, the top-secret singing series, which sees a number of celebrities dressed in head-to-toe costumes to conceal their identity while they compete, began its fourth season.
During the first episode, Jellyfish was among the first batch of competitors to perform for this year’s judges panel, which consists of singer Rita Ora, comedian Mo Gilligan, former Big Brother presenter Davina McCall and BBC host Jonathan Ross.
Saving herself from elimination, Jellyfish wowed the judges and audience with her debut performance of Guns N’ Roses’s “Sweet Child o’ Mine”.
Also competing in the first round were Phoenix, Knitting and Jacket Potato.
This season’s first elimination was Ghost, who was unveiled as former football star Chris Kamara.
Jellyfish is currently still in the competition. In the meantime, here is...

"Emily in Paris" season three hit Netflix on Dec. 21, and fans of the show are being reminded of just how gorgeous and charming its star Lucien Laviscount is. Can you blame them for wondering if he's dating someone? Well, good news for anyone who's still holding out hope for a chance with the English actor: he doesn't appear to be dating anyone at the moment. He has dated quite a few stars in the past, though.
Laviscount was most recently linked to former Little Mix-er Jesy Nelson, but it turns out that Laviscount has been involved in more than a few rumored relationships that panned out to be nothing.
So who has the "Emily in Paris" star really romanced in recent years? Since his rise on "Grange Hill" in 2007, the actor has been said to have dated a number of his costars - Brooke Vincent, Dominique Jackson, Amy Childs, and...

Nicki Minaj has lashed out at YouTube after it issued an age restriction on her latest music video upload of “Likkle Miss Remix”, featuring Skeng.
On Monday (26 September), in a since-deleted Instagram post, the “Super Bass” star shared a screenshot of a letter from the platform informing her that her video “may not be suitable for viewers under the age of 18” per its community guidelines, and had subsequently been age-restricted.
“Imagine this. They restricted my f***ing video but have things a million f***ing times worse on their Bogus F***Ing Platform,” Minaj wrote in the caption.
“This is what they do to keep you from winning while doing ads for other people and posting Fake Fkng Stats. Because the same people who run YouTube are in bed with a certain record label and management company.”
The video includes a group of people twerking and dancing around Skeng and Minaj while they sing.

Former Little Mix band member Leigh-Anne Pinnock just signed a pretty major solo deal with Warner Records, and we are beyond excited to see where it takes her. Back in December, the girl group announced that they'd be taking a break following their 10-year anniversary to "recharge and work on some other projects," which we now know includes solo music careers.
The initial announcement was shared by Warner Records on Instagram on Feb.2, with a caption that read "Delighted to welcome @leighannepinnock to the Warner Records family," to which Pinnock replied with "So excited for what's to come." Pinnock isn't the only one planning to be making solo music either, since fellow band member Perrie Edwards was also recently spotted in the studio, working with one of Ed Sheeran's producers, Fred Again.
Outside of the band, Pinnock has had a few different projects up her sleeve over the years,...
