‘Malcolm in the Middle’ star Frankie Muniz put crush before historic ‘SNL’ gig
Malcolm in the Middle star Frankie Muniz had the opportunity of a lifetime, but he chose to follow his heart instead.
During his appearance on the Lightweights Podcast, Frankie revealed that he was asked to host Saturday Night Live in the year 2000, when he played the titular role in the hit sitcom.
However, he denied the offer to become one of the youngest people ever to host the comedy show, as he had to cohost the 2000 Kids’ Choice Awards, where his childhood crush, Amanda Bynes, was presenting.

He recalled telling his agent, “‘I want to be on All That. I want to be on The Amanda Show, because I had a huge crush on Amanda Bynes as a kid, and I thought that those were the funniest, most amazing shows.”
“My mom gets a call one day, and she’s freaking out, so excited. It’s Gail Berman, who at the time was the president of Fox. She goes, ‘You got asked to host Saturday Night Live. I’m like, ‘What’s that?’ And she’s like, ‘It’s huge. You’ll be one of the youngest people ever. It’s this big deal,'” he shared.
When his mom told him the commitment would clash with his Kids’ Choice Awards cohosting gig, he immediately said no.
“I’m like, ‘Oh, hell no. I am going to the Kids’ Choice Awards, right? I don’t care. I’m meeting Amanda Bynes at the Kids’ Choice Awards,'” he recalled.
For “about a week and a half, I had every executive, every producer, everybody in the history of Fox TV, Regency TV, going, ‘What are you doing?'”
“I don’t back out of obligation,” he remarked.
Frankie later got to work more with Amanda when they co-starred in Big Fat Liar, alongside Paul Giamatti.
Fans will get to see Frankie Muniz reprise his famous character from Malcolm in the Middle in the reboot, Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair, in December.
King Charles and Prince Andrew are arguing over the Royal Lodge, it is revealed.
His Majesty, who wants his defamed brother to leave the mansion in Windsor and move to a smaller home, has met with ‘civil war’ from Andrew.
Royal expert Matt Wilkinson writes for The Sun: “However, each side is now briefing against one another as the two brothers are caught up in a stand-off over the QueenMother’s beloved former home.”
Meanwhile, an insider said: “The palace has been trying to get Andrew and Sarah to leave Royal Lodge for almost three years now.
“But it’s the ugliest it has ever been. Claims and counterclaims about who was offered what and when show it’s not going well,@ they noted.
As Alicia Silverstone nears 50, she admitted that she wants to embrace “old-lady things.”
In a an exclusive chat with People, the 49-year-old actress confessed that she is “very domestic,” and loves to do domestic work since her 20s.
“I want to do more old-lady things — read in my garden,” she told the outlet, noting, “I can’t say that’s ‘old lady.’ I’ve wanted to do that since I was 20… I’m very domestic, I suppose.”
The ‘A Merry Little Ex-Mas’ star not that she is looking to “carve out time” more time for her domestic personality in her busy schedule
“I burn the candle so hard,” she remarked.
The Bugonia actress went on to say, “What I guess I’m always trying to figure out is, ‘What do normal people do? How much rest do normal people get?’ And then try to make that implemented into my life because I work so much, so crazy, I’m always traveling. I’m a machine.”
As the actress wrapped her filming of the Yorgos Lanthimos-directed film and went straight to the set of Irish Blood to audition actors being a producer, Silverstone admitted she has found relaxation for a while.
“I was kept a little bit torn between everything so I wasn’t as relaxed. I was more pulled in a lot of directions,” she revealed.
“(I am) really, really loving the mornings where I wake up and get my son off to school, make his breakfast and his lunch. Then I go on a walk with my dog, and then I work all day. It’s still busy, but it’s not insanity.”
It is pertinent to mention that Silverstone is mom to son Bear whom she shares with ex-husband Christopher Jarecki.

King Charles finds himself pleading to Camilla, Meghan to let Harry return to royal family
King Charles has reportedly pleaded to Queen Camilla and Meghan Markle to put their differences aside and let Prince Harry return to the royal family fold.
According to reports, the Duchess of Sussex has asked Harry that she would return to the UK on one condition: that Camilla is not in the same room as her.
On the other hand, the Queen also does not have a good impression of Meghan as she finds her “manipulative” and believes she is “dangerous” for King Charles’ “peace.”
Meanwhile, Charles is pleading with the women as he “craves” nothing but “peace” at the moments and is desperate to be reunited with the Duke of Sussex.
“Charles is craving peace more than anything,” a source told Radar Online. “He’s well aware the family rift is damaging the monarchy’s reputation, but Meghan’s demands have made the situation far worse.”
“Camilla refuses to yield, Meghan won’t compromise – they’re completely deadlocked,” the palace insider added.
