Speaker 1 (00:00):
Virginia Chufhra's family have made a statement following her Instagram
post Yes.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Yees our big story yesterday, Let's get some more. Here's
our entertainment editor, Peter Ford Pete. What did they share? Yeah, Well,
as we said yesterday, we do wish her well.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
She is a woman of great resilience and courage and
hopefully she will get through all of this. So what
has happened overnight our time is the family have hired
a PR company based out of New York and they
put out a statement which was obviously based on Virginia's
memories of what happened and try to bring some clarity
to it also to try and qual any doubts or
(00:35):
questions that people may have had. Now, firstly, she thanks
everybody for the outpouring of love and support and there's
been a lot of that, I can tell you. This
has been some of the negative as well, but a
lot of the support has been terrific for her. Now,
this is all absolutely factual. March twenty four, rural Western Australia,
a school bus hit the car in.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Which she was riding.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Now that is all absolutely dinky die Where it gets
a bit more confusing after that is, the police were called,
but they said that nobody.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Was able to attend the scene.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Now, Virginia, according to this report, was very batter than
bruised as a result of what happened in that Now
the police have said on record that it was a
minor collision and they said that nobody was injured. So
Virginia of course had also said that the bus was
traveling at one hundred and ten miles an hour. Now,
she may not have meant that literally, but it also
(01:29):
says very clearly there the bus was full of distraught children.
So I really think the police have to go back
and interview that bus driver again to find out what happened,
because somebody like that, if it's true, shouldn't be driving
a bus. So she is still in hospital, she's still
in a serious condition, and as I said, we continue
to wish her well and hope she pulls through.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Okay, moving on, There are lots of buzz after the
actors were announced for these new Beatles movies plural.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Yeah, so this is a really interesting story. I think
it's a first. Now, firstly, the casting is now complete.
There's been a lot of buzz around about who was
going to play what characters.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
So we've now got those names.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Harris Dickinson got a lot of publicity towards the end
of last year as the young man in Baby Girl
opposite Nicole Kidman.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
He'll play John Lennon.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Paul Mescale will be playing Paul McCartney, Barry Keyogan will
be playing Ringo, and Joseph Quinn, possibly the least well
known of the four actors, is playing George Harrison. Now
this is Sam Mendez's product project. Now it is four
separate movies, four separate movies, each one seen through the
(02:38):
eyes of a Beatle. Now where it gets really interesting
is how they're going to bring this out. Here's your
diary date April two and twenty eight. April twenty twenty eight.
All four movies will be released on that one day.
And what they're going to set it up is it
will become a bingeable cinematic event.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I haven't heard of that before.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
A bingeable cinematic event where basically you can go to
the cinema complex and you could if you wanted to
go to all four movies in one day. I believe
that's how they're going to schedule the screenings.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
You may not.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Everyone may not want to do that, but that will
be an option open to you. You can actually go
to the cinema and binge all four movies on the Monday.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Think about it. So there's here's how I see it.
Play the Paul Miss School one and he's playing.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
The main Paul, Paul McCartney, Paul.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
That's gonna be the most popular surely, then the one
that's played by John Lennon, and then no one's going
to go and see the Ringo and George Harrison one family.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
But we talked about we talked about how they were
going to do it. You know, which which movie would
you want to go and see first?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
What would the director want to release first?
Speaker 3 (03:49):
We didn't know until today that the plan was to
release all four in one big hit. Anyway, twenty twenty eight,
it won't be any of our problems.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
We better be the Shady Pines minibus to take us.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Up to the three years away.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yeah, and my seniors car.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
That's David Beckham.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
He's getting on Pete. He's getting Yeah. Well it's fifty.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Well he's not actually he's forty nine still, but in
time he will be fifty. And the first of what
David himself says will be several parties have been held.
This first one was actually held in Miami, and it
wasn't a big star started the event, to be very
honest with you. The photographs we've got here show that
they all look incredibly happy together, but that's not what
(04:38):
you'd call a big there they are. That's from the
event in Miami with that dress.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
You look at that dress Wang, Yeah, that's probably her
own label.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Now interestingly not all Brooklyn and Nicola were not there,
but as you can see Harper she looks older than thirteen,
doesn't she? And Romeo and Cruz and their respective partners,
the soccer star line or Messi was there, as well
as a few other assorted soccer superstars. But I reckon
once we hit London, I reckon that's when the big
(05:09):
name cast will all be arriving at the event. So
the first of many reports of David Beckham's fiftieth birthday is.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
He's having more parties and the Beatles having movies. Yeah,
and that's a lot. That's a lot.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Okay, I'll ask you what.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
You know what this is? Paper rock?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
For the next question, well, I'll take it. The Duchess
of Sussex is ready to launch a new project.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Pete, I know it is.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
You know how we used to meet kids, We'd think
to ourself, one more sleep.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
It is one more sleep.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
This time tomorrow we will have all the details of
the products available.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
On the as ever range.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Don't forget we talked last week about the fashion stuff
that she was recommending accessories for cosmetics and beauty products.
Those were things that you were able to access with
her recommendation.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Her actual products will be available there.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
She is, that's her in the kitchen hosted this morning,
desperately trying to fill those orders for the jam and
for her crape mix by tomorrow morning, because that's when
you'll be able to go and buy it. So no
doubt we will revisit this story tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I love doesn't she I like that? Yeah she's happy. Yeah,
what can I order tomorrow tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
That's okay because she's she's proved it with her pencil
there and I'm there'll be no spelling mist.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
She's playing time. I love that. Yeah happy. I don't
like when she's unhappy. The wild happen.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Harry is unhappy at the moment. That's the whole legal
she's in the kitchen making jam. She's all ge.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Oh and it's spread, by the way, it's not jammed,
sorry Pete.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Thanks match. She doesn't want to know it's a jam.
It's spread, thanks Pete. What Harry is.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Let him worry about the legal show.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
