Legendary Russian filmmaker Vsevolod Shilovsky died at his theater studio after racking up over 150 credits in movies and TV. The People's Artist kept grinding until the end, teaching students and running what he called his little Moscow Art Theater. Nobody has dropped official details about what killed him.
He spent his final interview trashing modern actors and complaining about how the industry got wrecked when culture and cinema departments merged. Dude was married three times and lost his oldest son, Ilya, to heart failure four years back. His daughter Aglaya went into acting, and his son Pavel works in film. Shilovsky said Pavel was smarter than him, and he wouldn't know what to do without the guy.
TV host Dmitry Dibrov is apparently seeing nutritionist Katya Guseva after his wife, Polina, left him for some rich younger guy named Roman Tovstik. The weird part is that Guseva was friends with Polina and even belonged to her club before this happened. They started hooking up this fall and just got back from celebrating his birthday in Bali.
Guseva runs marathons and a healthy food brand while raising three kids from different relationships. Her first husband died right after their daughter was born, and her other relationships fizzled out. His lawyer keeps dropping hints about shocking everyone with who Dmitry travels during the holidays. Meanwhile, some video leaked of Dibrov getting out of a car with his fly down, which he says...
Actor Ilya Obolonkov from Tolyatti is turning 44 and has been grinding in Russian film and TV for years. He got his break playing cops and military dudes in shows like Platinum, Code of Honor and Molodezhka after starting with bit parts. Dude also did melodramas with actresses like Olga Pavlovets and Anna Starshenbaum.
His relationship drama with Natalia Gromushkina is straight out of a soap opera. He basically stalked her until she caved, showed up at her business meetings and concerts, and then they had a daughter named Iliana. She eventually dumped him while touring Novosibirsk and told him to pack his stuff before she got back.
His personal life got messier when his dad disappeared back in 2001 and some realtor lady tried scamming...
Actress Valeria Lanskaya just wrapped her first appearance on the singing competition Duets and said it was wild trying to harmonize when her partner's voice sounded like a cartoon character in her earpiece. The show pairs up celebs who don't find out who they're performing with until the song ends. Hosts are Nikolai Baskov and Sergey Lazarev.
She also gave a quick update about tying the knot with composer Mark Dorbsky at their country house with just close people around. This is her second marriage after having a kid with director Stas Ivanov. She used to be super private about relationships, but decided to share some sweet wedding pics on her blog this time.
Lanskaya mentioned she's juggling a packed theater schedule and teaching...
Turkish actress Hande Erçel touched down in Moscow to hype up her new movie, where she plays a lawyer named Bilge who bumps into her old childhood pal Can. She actually helped write the script because she was super invested in getting this story made. The film dropped right around when she turned 32.
Her Russian fans are absolutely feral for her. When she landed at the airport, literally hundreds of people mobbed her for selfies and she was just vibing with it the whole time. She rocked a casual airport fit with leggings and a cropped fur coat before hitting up a press event at the Four Seasons in a knit corset situation. Later that night, she went full glam in a fur-trimmed dress for the premiere.
She posted on social media about how...
Some retired teacher in Omsk sold her place for 4 million rubles to Anna Savkina, a single mom with two kids, then immediately claimed she got scammed and refused to leave. The buyer went through a realtor and everything seemed legitimate when they closed the deal at the bank, but the seller filed suit, trying to cancel the transaction.
The pensioner brought a psychiatric report saying she was mentally incompetent but got destroyed when courts ordered a proper two-month evaluation that confirmed she was completely sane and functional. Meanwhile, Savkina got stuck paying a mortgage while bouncing between rental apartments because the former owner still lives in the property. The case keeps getting delayed because the seller claims she...
Anna Sedokova broke down crying on video after getting death threats against her and her kids following another wave of online hate. The artist said she gets attacked daily while trying to protect the memory of her ex-husband, who died a year back, and people keep accusing her of moving on when she is barely surviving.
She emphasized that everything she does is for the children, especially her son and her late partner's kid, Yanis, who loved his stepdad. Sedokova warned she would take legal action if needed because the boys deserve to remember their father as the best person ever. The singer admitted feeling completely alone with no support system while carrying all the family responsibilities and dealing with people using her name for...
Elena Tovstik threw shade at Polina Dibrova while hyping up Svetlana Silvashi's new women's club launch in Moscow. She basically said Silvashi's spot actually promotes family values instead of teaching people how to wreck marriages and steal husbands like Dibrova allegedly does. Silvashi stays married to celebrity plastic surgeon Timur Khaidarov and they have four daughters together.
Lawyer Katya Gordon bailed on representing Tovstik back in September because the client kept blocking her own divorce case to try winning back her ex. Gordon got her over eight million dollars worth of assets but Tovstik refused better settlements because she wants the marriage back instead of the money. The mother of six still hopes her husband will...
Rivers State governor Siminalayi Fubara wants students to get better education and his secretary, Dr Benibo Anabraba, told WAEC reps the state is bankrolling free WASSCE registration for kids at public schools. The gov approved building computer test centers across all three senatorial districts and 23 local government areas to boost digital literacy before WAEC's cutoff hits.
Anabraba met with WAEC deputy registrar Ayanfemi Adeniran-Amusan in Port Harcourt and promised land for their zonal office. The officials said Rivers students rank high and both sides want to keep working together on educational development.
