The shock news spread quickly in the middle of the week: Hollywood actor Jamie Foxx (55) was hospitalized. A little later, his daughter Corinne Foxx (29) confirmed via Instagram that her father was being treated for a "medical complication". But he is already on the mend, Corinne wrote in her post. It was also said that he was already joking again. However, as the US portal "TMZ" reports, it is still not clear why Foxx got into this emergency situation. It is also said that his doctors do not yet know what caused the medical problem in him.

According to the report, Jamie Foxx is still in the hospital. In the next few days, some tests should bring more light into the darkness. In addition, it is still uncertain when the actor will be allowed to leave the hospital. Nobody would think of returning to the camera at the moment. Foxx is currently in the middle of filming his new movie "Back in Action" alongside Cameron Diaz (50).

How is the shooting of "Back in Action" going on now?
As "TMZ" further reports, Foxx would have to complete a total of eight more days of shooting before his role would actually be in the can. However, it is still unclear how the project will continue. We have learned from production circles that the film will definitely be completed in the next week. It has also not yet been decided whether the Foxx scenes would be rewritten, a substitute actor would step in or the scenes that were still to be shot would simply be deleted. The "People" magazine meanwhile reports that the producers are said to have put a replacement for Foxx in front of the camera on Thursday. The next few days will show which version is correct.

In a few weeks, a new star will rise in the streaming sky. Warner Bros. Discovery has announced that the new service Max will then start in the USA. An overview of what Max is, what the whole thing costs, whether the service will also come to Germany and what content streaming fans can expect.

HBO Max and Discovery+ become Max
Warner Bros. Discovery describes Max in a press release as an "enhanced streaming service". The slogan of the new offer makes it clear what noble goals are being pursued: Max is "the one to watch", the one service that you absolutely have to watch. A big undertaking considering how many competitors there are on the market - including Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+ or Paramount+, just to name a few of the most well-known.

Starting May 23 in the US, Max will combine two previous offerings: HBO Max and Discovery+. The entire HBO Max catalog will be included in the United States, with Discovery+ adding "the most popular content," a spokeswoman for Warner Bros. Discovery Germany told spot on news. The cheaper Discovery+ offer should also remain bookable in the USA independently of Max.

Max will offer a mixture of blockbusters, premium series and reality content, which at least in the US has its price. A subscription with advertising, 1080p resolution and no download function is available for around ten US dollars a month or just under 100 dollars a year. Without ads and with downloads, the price goes straight up to just over $16 a month or $150 a year. The "Ultimate" subscription with 4K resolution, among other things, even costs around $20 a month or $200 a year.

Max not in Germany before 2025?
Over time, Max will be released in additional regions where HBO Max is currently available. Areas in Latin America are to follow in 2023 and then countries in Europe and Asia in 2024. In this country, series fans will have to wait a while. Max will be "launched in Europe next year with an initial focus on HBO Max markets," the spokeswoman said. "Rollout in additional European countries such as Germany will follow in due course, depending on our agreements with partners, specific business environments and developments."

HBO Max is currently available in Europe in Norway, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, Bulgaria, Hungary, Croatia and Romania. In 2021, the "Financial Times" reported that content from the US broadcaster HBO would end up on Sky or its in-house streaming service Wow until at least 2025 due to license agreements in Germany, Great Britain and Italy. HBO series hits such as "The Last of Us", "Game of Thrones", "Euphoria" or "The White Lotus" can currently be streamed there in Germany.

The home of Harry Potter, superheroes and fantasy warriors
The media and entertainment company relies on countless big names - be it actors or franchises. Max is the home of many well-known series and film brands in the USA, including Batman and Wonder Woman, the other superheroes of the DC Universe and probably the most famous sorcerer's apprentice in the world: Harry Potter.

In a message, Max is promised an average of more than 40 new titles or seasons a month. At the end of May, the comic adaptation "Shazam! Fury of the Gods" and the animated series "Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai" should celebrate their streaming premieres. As part of the launch of the service, Warner Bros. Discovery also announced some new productions.

The biggest surprise is that Max is collaborating on a long-running Harry Potter series with author J.K. Rowling (57), who is on the project as executive producer. The faithful adaptation will span multiple seasons and is set to last ten years. However, there will be no reunion with Daniel Radcliffe (33), Emma Watson (32) or Rupert Grint (34) as Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, as a new cast is to embody the well-known characters.

George R.R. Martin (74), the man behind the stories from "Game of Thrones" and the prequel "House of the Dragon" is also one of the executive producers of another "GoT" spin-off. He will also write the screenplays for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight alongside Ira Parker. The series is based on Martin's Tales of Dunk and Egg stories.

Chuck Lorre (70) should make friends of comedy series laugh. Following "Young Sheldon," he is also executive producing another spin-off of his popular sitcom, The Big Bang Theory. However, there are no more details about it yet

Up until this episode, “Der Bachelor” (Wednesdays, 8:15 p.m., RTL and in advance on RTL+) only gave two kisses – a short accidental kiss to Lisa (32) and a secret (and presumably drunk) kiss Rebekah (28). The speculation as to when and with whom there will finally be a real kiss is running at full speed. The hottest contender is Angelina (28) – but she discovers a cold sore right now and can't believe her misfortune: "Shitty timing!"

At the surf date with Rebecca, Lisa, Yetti (25), Leyla (26) and Xenia (30), David Jackson (32) gets another opportunity to present his body. Lisa is the only one who can ride a wave and offers to help David - which seems to scratch his ego a bit. Leyla masters a similarly difficult situation for the first time: David and she have their first almost normal conversation, in which she doesn't seem completely intimidated.

With Xenia things are not progressing as well - she explains to David that she is holding back because of the cameras. He analyzes the problem aptly: "I understand it, but that makes it difficult to get to know each other in this format." The otherwise always cool Lisa admits privately that she would like to have more time with David "to somehow tie in with certain situations".

Alyssa does the unbelievable
No one is allowed to stay longer from the group date - instead, to everyone's surprise, David invites Alyssa (36) to her first single date in the evening. "She's been waiting for this date for so long..." says the bachelor generously. The two have a barbecue, discuss difficult topics such as their depression and snuggle up on the couch. There the unbelievable happens: Alyssa kisses David. She him! "I could never do that," the other - all much younger women - are supposed to say later, reverently about this move. Alyssa's strategy works. The third kiss is followed by a fourth and fifth kiss. "Alyssa is just a seasoned woman who takes what she wants," grins David afterwards and thinks: "Time is used optimally."

Next, Angelina is allowed to go on a "1001 Nights" date - now without contagious herpes. On a screened-off terrace with a flying carpet, a pool and lots of candles, the two get closer and the kissing starts again. However, it is not clear to the viewers who kissed whom here – the question was not even in the room, a good sign. The date also continues at this level. "I think we both couldn't stop beaming," enthuses David. And if so, then just to keep kissing.

Angelina has one wish
At the end of her dream date, Angelina has one wish: a rose, 15 minutes more with the bachelor or a look at David's Instagram profile. She chooses - to his surprise - the rose. Apparently she doesn't realize as much as he does that she would have gotten it anyway... For her it was the best date she'd ever had. And for him, too, it "topped everything." Actually, you could stop the show now.

But no, it stays with the classic process. On the night of the roses, Leyla has a fear after a conversation with David: the hug at the end felt like a farewell. Xenia now refuses to approach the bachelor out of pride. "I don't feel it," she says defiantly when the others want to encourage her.

"You are all horny bitches and I love you!"
By the way, what the girls feel completely is their group. There has never been more support, celebration, comfort and love than in this season. Shortly before David's decision, Leyla also says to her girls: "Guys, you are all horny sluts and I love you!" And her feeling was right, Leyla and Xenia have to leave the girl gang. But certainly only as long as it's still about the guy with the roses.

Exactly one year ago, the sensational defamation trial between Johnny Depp (59) and Amber Heard (36) began in the US state of Virginia. On June 1 of last year, the Fairfax County jury returned its verdict, and found Depp largely correct. The lawsuit was finally settled in late 2022, when Heard agreed to pay her ex-husband $1 million as part of a settlement.

That's what happened to Amber Heard and Johnny Depp since the trial ended
Some unnamed insiders who are said to be close to the ex-spouses have now revealed to the US magazine "People" how the stars have fared since the end of the six-week trial. Amber Heard "can't wait to leave the United States with her daughter" after the verdict. Oonagh Paige, the actress' daughter, turned two earlier this month.

Amber Heard enjoys privacy in Spain
Since then, Heard has been said to live in Spain, where she has more privacy. The process was "more than exhausting" for the 36-year-old, who, according to the inside source, "simply longed for a new start outside the United States". In addition, Heard was "excited to be back at work and in front of the camera".

In the meantime, however, nothing has changed in the actress' feelings regarding the outcome of the defamation process. "She was exhausted and disappointed with the process," the insider says. Heard felt she had been "treated badly."

Johnny Depp is 'focused on work'
After the legal dispute ended positively for him, superstar Johnny Depp first went on tour last year and shared the stage with his good friend, the late guitarist Jeff Beck (1944-2023). Immediately afterwards, the 59-year-old threw himself into the shooting of his new film "Jeanne Du Barry".

The filming of the historical film was "challenging" for Depp, but at the same time the actor is "excited about his comeback," reveals the anonymous source. The film "Jeanne Du Barry" by French director Maïwenn (46) will open this year's Cannes Film Festival on May 16, which is "perfect" in the eyes of leading actor Depp.

Hollywood star is said to be single
The former "Pirates of the Caribbean" star is said to be staying abroad for the most part at the end of the sensational court case. "Johnny has lived in Europe since the trial. He is dating but has no girlfriend," the inside source added.

Instead of being able to fully enjoy the new joys of parenting, Daniel (49) and Patrice Aminati (29) are in a state of emergency. During a routine examination, the TV presenter's wife was diagnosed with "malignant (black) skin cancer, which has already formed metastases," as Aminati announced via Instagram in early April. But the couple does not let this shocking news get them down and, in an interview with "Bild", proves that they are "optimistic about the future", as the moderator puts it. In the best-case scenario, the family should be even bigger in the future.

"We want a second child," reveals Patrice Aminati. "Our daughter Charly Malika gives us so much joy that I would go through a difficult pregnancy like the one I had with Charly at any time. This desire to have children gives me the strength to endure everything now." She had previously written on Instagram: "Now the thought makes me sad that my greatest wish - to have a child again quickly after the birth of our daughter - has to be postponed indefinitely." But the Aminatis have no doubts that one day it will be that time again.

Further tests should provide information
Next Wednesday (April 12) will be a trend-setting day in the fight against cancer and for the future. Then the 29-year-old will undergo a so-called PET-CT. This is to check whether other metastases have formed in your body.

"In addition to the tumor, Patrice also had the affected lymph nodes removed from her neck. We hope that the cancer will have disappeared from her body. If that is not the case, the PET-CT will show it. If Patrice is free of metastases, it would be That's a first ray of hope," says the worried husband, who just "feels completely powerless".

In April 2022, the two said yes after a relationship of several years. They became parents the following August. Just two weeks before the birth of little Charly Malika, Aminati had to share another piece of bad news. "My middle sister Deborah's heart stopped beating on the night of August 3, 2022," he wrote on Instagram. She was only 46 years old. Aminati says he spoke to her the night before Deborah died. She died "after decades of excessive alcohol consumption".
