Isla Fisher offers condolences on the death of ‘Confessions of a Shopaholic’ author
Isla Fisher has expressed her emotions following the tragic death of English author Sophie Kinsella.
The 49-year-old worked in a popular film titled Confessions of a Shopaholic; a story written by the late author. She played the role of Rebecca Bloomwood in the movie.
As a tribute, Isla took it to her Instagram to pay her condolences on Sophie’s passing.
Along with Kinsella’s picture, the Now You See Me star wrote, “Dear Sophie, you conjured Rebecca Bloomwood, a hilarious flawed dream of a comic character – and I was lucky enough to step into her shoes and speak your witty & brilliant words.”
Fisher confessed that she still considers the late 55-year-old writer as her hero.
“My daughters grew up being read your books and love them to this day. My heart is broken. You are still my hero, and I’m grateful for you,” added the Wedding Crashers actress.
She continued, “And though we won’t meet again, your light and magic lives on in your incredible characters.”
In another Instagram story, she shared the image of the film’s poster and wrote, “I’m so heartbroken that you are gone @sophiekinsellawriter.”
Sophie passed away on December 10 after fighting a long battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer.
Strictly Come Dancing is facing a big shake-up after beloved hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman stepped away from the show.
With the programme looking for fresh energy, reports say that comedian and actress Miranda Hart is in talks to join.
Fans might remember Miranda from her hit sitcom and from cheering on her friend Sarah Hadland during last year’s series.
Sources, however, said that she could bring her funny, warm personality to the show, talking to the celebs, dancers and judges, helping to keep the programme lively and entertaining.
Even though Miranda spent recent years enjoying a quieter life away from the spotlight, she has never lost her connection to television.
BBC bosses apparently see her humour as a perfect fit for the role, bringing the kind of lightness and charm that viewers loved in the past.
While nothing is confirmed yet, insiders are excited about the possibility.
If it happens, it could mark a new chapter for Strictly Come Dancing, mixing familiar comedy with the glitz and glamour of the dance floor.
Fans are waiting to see if Miranda’s easygoing style will breathe new life into the show.
Trevor Oakes, guitarist who helped make Showaddywaddy famous all over the world, has died at the age of 79 after fighting bravely with a long illness.
The icon passed away peacefully on February 18, leaving all of his fans and friends heartbroken.
Trevor’s former bandmate Dave Bartram paid a touching tribute for him, calling him “a unique character and a dedicated professional” who played a huge part in the band’s success.
Trevor was there from the very start, helping the band bring back songs from the 1950s and 1960s for a new generation.
Showaddywaddy, however, then got Top 10 hits, including the number one song Under the Moon of Love in 1976.
Dave remembered him as not just a talented musician but also a loving family man with a cheeky sense of humour, saying that he will be “sadly missed by all those dear to him.”
Though Trevor stepped away from performing in 2009 due to health problems, his spirit and influence stayed with the band, which continues to tour today under Dave’s management.
Only one original member remains on stage but Trevor’s energy and love for music live on in every show.
Fans, moreover, will always remember him for the joy, laughter and music he shared over years.
