Bijou Phillips is facing one of the toughest battles of her life.

In a rare and emotional interview, the 45-year-old model and actress revealed she is “hanging on by a thread” as her urgent search for a kidney donor continues.

Phillips, who is currently undergoing dialysis at UCLA Health’s CORE Kidney program, admitted she has been waiting for a transplant for over a year.

“I’ve needed a transplant for a year. I’m sort of hanging on by a thread,” she told Us Weekly.

Born with underdeveloped kidneys, Phillips previously received a life-saving transplant from a friend in 2017.

But nearly a decade later, that kidney is failing.

“The medication you take when you’re transplanted is very toxic to the kidneys,” she explained.

“So when you get a transplant — heart or liver or kidney — within a decade, you’re probably going to need a kidney transplant.”

The Almost Famous star acknowledged the precariousness of her situation. “I could make it on dialysis for a couple of years, or I could get an infection in my line tomorrow and be gone in a few days,” she said.

“I’m really hopeful, [but] it’s an extremely urgent situation.”

Beyond her own health, Phillips says her fight is fueled by her devotion to her 12-year-old daughter, Fianna, whom she shares with ex-husband Danny Masterson.

“Now I’m a single mom, and things are different,” she said. “I want to be here for her, and I have to be here for her. The fight is back. I’m it. I’m all she’s got.”

Cruz Beckham has credited his girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, for band’s success, confessing that she is the woman behind his career. 

The young musician, 21, has been carving out his music career and kicked off his UK tour in on Wednesday in Birmingham.

It marked a major milestone for Cruz, who has been building up to his sold out tour following the release of his single, For Your Love.

Joined by his band The Breakers, the son of David and Victoria performed songs from his album, Lick The Toad at Mama Roux’s.

Meanwhile, Cruz’s girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, 30 supported him throughout the tour, proudly showing of his tour merchandise – a hoodie with all of his tour dates on the back.

And now he has told how Jackie is the woman behind his success.

Alongside a snap of the beauty, he penned: ‘I don’t think anybody understands how much Jackie does for us. 

‘Throughout these last few years Jackie has connected the band, connected teams, constantly making sure s**t gets done, none of this would be happening without her.

‘Just a little appreciation post for the fifth member of the breakers. She is the driving force of the band. She has gone overboard with making sure content all of you see is the best of the best.

‘Jackie we are forever grateful for you and I hope you know, we appreciate you more than you can imagine.’ 

The couple have been together since 2024, after they were first spotted together at Glastonbury.

Earlier this month, Cruz released the music video for his new single For Your Love.

Ex-Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is at the center of Hollywood’s latest race for royal drama.

Netflix is reportedly considering reviving The Crown for a limited series chronicling his downfall following his arrest in connection with Jeffrey Epstein.

The former Duke of York was arrested on February 19, his 66th birthday, on suspicion of misconduct in public office after allegedly forwarding confidential trade documents to Epstein.

His arrest, described as “historic and unprecedented” by insiders, has sparked fierce competition among studios to dramatize the scandal.

According to sources to Daily Mail, Netflix and The Crown producers Left Bank Pictures have been in “advanced talks” about creating one-off specials under the show’s banner.

Insider described the potential saga as “as dramatic, if not more dramatic” than the abdication of Edward VIII or Princess Diana’s death, both previously covered in the original series.

Disney Studios and Amazon MGM are also circling the story.

“We have been bombarded with screenwriters wanting to bring this story to us. The race is on in Hollywood to be the first studio to bring out an Andrew film,” a Disney source told the outlet.

Screenwriter Jeremy Brock, who penned Amazon MGM’s A Very Royal Scandal, echoed the sentiment.

He told the outlet both Netflix and Amazon are “100 percent” in talks to make a drama based on the scandal.

Royal Fallout

King Charles has issued a statement expressing his “deepest concern,” stressing that “the law must take its course.”

Meanwhile, the British government is debating legislation that could remove Andrew from the royal line of succession.
