A private memorial service was recently held to honour actor Peter Greene, bringing together close friends and loved ones to remember the late star in an intimate and emotional gathering. 

The service took place on Dec. 27 at St. Michael Church in Cranford, New Jersey, where roughly 35 to 40 people gathered to say goodbye to the actor best known for his role in The Mask.

Those in attendance included several of Greene’s longtime friends and collaborators, among them The Sopranos actor Federico Castelluccio, Vincent Young, Saul Stein, Garry Pastore, musician Skam Dust, and producer Noel Ashman. 

According to a source familiar with the event, the atmosphere was deeply emotional, with many attendees sharing personal memories and stories about Greene’s life and career.

Castelluccio, who worked with Greene on the 2019 film Exit 0, delivered a heartfelt tribute during the service. 

He described Greene as “one of the best character actors of his generation,” a moment that reportedly moved many in the room to tears.

“Everyone shared a story, and everyone broke down crying,” the source said. “People loved him like a brother.”

Greene, who was born in Montclair, New Jersey, was found dead in his Lower East Side apartment on Dec. 13 at the age of 60. 

His longtime manager, Gregg Edwards, previously said the actor was in good spirits just days before his passing. 

Close friend Skam Dust also shared that Greene had been making plans to celebrate New Year’s Eve, saying, “He was going to rent a truck limousine… He wasn’t suicidal.”

Producer Noel Ashman, who cast Greene in the upcoming film 3 Days Rising alongside Ice-T and Mickey Rourke, described him as “a once-in-a-lifetime friend” and said his passing was completely unexpected. 

“He was so talented and had so much more to give,” Ashman said.

Authorities have stated that no foul play is suspected, and the official cause of death will be determined by the medical examiner.

Mark Wright’s mother, Carol, has shared her role as a mother-in-law in a bombshell interview. 

The former TOWIE star and Fool Me Once actress, both 38, tied the knot in 2015 in a lavish ceremony at St Mary’s Church in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.

During the latest episode of their family podcast Wright At Home, Carol spoke the heart about her relationship with Michelle.

Reading a letter sent in from a listener, her daughter Jess said: ‘Whenever my mother-in-law comes over she acts like I stole her son.’

Sharing her thoughts on the situation, Carol said: ‘It’s a hard one because everyone’s sons are like, you know, they’re your sons and… a woman comes along and they do take your son.

‘But I’m a bit different because I actually hold back because of that reason. ‘I always think that when the girl comes into our family it’s quite they feel a bit overpowering to so many of us, so I seem to be like I hold back a bit.’ 

At this point Jess also shared that she hated the narrative that her mum was this ‘evil mother-in-law’ because it is far from the truth.

‘It’s nothing like me, I’m totally the opposite,’ Carol explained before admitting that she would step in to ‘protect’ her son, if needed.

It comes after Mark and Michelle celebrated their first Christmas as a family of three with their daughter baby Palma.

The couple welcomed their first child together in March of this year.

Jessica Alba and Cash Warren are celebrating a major milestone as their eldest daughter, Honor Warren, prepares to take the next big step in her academic journey. 

The 17-year-old has officially been accepted to Yale University, where she plans to study English and Film Studies, according to an announcement shared by her high school.

The school revealed the news in a celebratory Instagram post, featuring a photo of a younger Honor alongside the Yale logo. 

“Honor is headed to Yale University!!” the caption read, adding, “We are so proud of Honor and it’s an HONOR to send her off.” 

The post also noted that she will be part of the Class of 2029, ending with a cheerful “Go Bulldogs.” The announcement came on the same day Yale released its early decision results.

Honor’s acceptance was quickly met with love from her family. 

Her younger sister, Haven, 14, showed her support by commenting two red heart emojis on the post. The news marks a proud moment for the entire family, especially during a year filled with change.

The milestone arrives amid a transitional period for Jessica and Cash, who share three children, Honor, Haven, and their youngest, Hayes, 7. 

The former couple filed for divorce earlier this year after 16 years of marriage. Despite the change, both parents have made it clear that their children remain their top priority.

Jessica recently spoke about balancing personal growth with motherhood, sharing that her main focus is making sure her kids feel supported and happy. 

“They’re my No. 1 priority,” she said. “So as long as they’re happy and they’re good and they’re healthy, we’re all good.”

Cash has also expressed support for Jessica’s new chapter, including her relationship with actor Danny Ramirez. 

As the family moves forward, Honor’s college acceptance stands out as a bright and meaningful moment, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter in her life.
