Ellen DeGeneres buys back $14.3M ranch after bombshell announcement

 

Ellen DeGeneres is going home, again.

 

On the heels of her announcement that she would be ending her daytime talk show after almost 20 years, the longtime host bought back her Montecito, California, ranch for $14.3 million.

 

DeGeneres, 63, along with Portia de Rossi, initially purchased the property, dubbed Rancho San Leandro, back in 2017 for $7.2 million before flipping it and selling it for $11 million in 2018 at a hefty profit.

 

Now it would seem DeGeneres is feeling a bit sentimental and wants to make the ranch her home again.

 

This comes amid a torrent of allegations of toxic workplace behavior and bullying. However the comedian has said that her departure from the talk show was long-planned asshe seeks a new creative challenge.

Kevin Spacey Cast in Italian Film After Being Sidelined in the U.S.

 

Kevin Spacey has been cast in a film in what is believed to be the first time since accusations of sexual assault against the actor started surfacing more than three years ago, prompting several court cases and unraveling his onscreen career.

 

The film, “L’uomo Che Disegno Dio” (or “The Man Who Drew God”), is an Italian feature. Vanessa Redgrave has a role, and it will be directed by her husband, Franco Nero, who rose to fame via the 1966 spaghetti western “Django,” said Louis Nero, one of the producers. Mr. Spacey, who plays a detective, is not a lead in the film, he said.

 

TV and film producers started dropping Mr. Spacey from projects after the actor Anthony Rapp accused Mr. Spacey in 2017 of making unwanted sexual advances toward him in the 1980s, when he was 14 years old. More accusations followed, and several men have sued Mr. Spacey over their accounts of sexual assault and other misconduct.

 

Mr. Spacey, 61, was swiftly excluded from the Netflix political thriller “House of Cards”; replaced by Christopher Plummer in the Sony film “All the Money in the World”; and played Gore Vidal in a biopic that never saw the light of day. Less than a year after the accusations, he appeared in a supporting role for a finished movie called “Billionaire Boys Club,” but has not appeared in a television show or film since.

 

Louis Nero said the movie is about a blind artist, played by Franco Nero, who draws portraits of subjects by listening to their voices. Ms. Redgrave is slated to play a woman who teaches the artist to read Braille, the producer said. The filmmakers hope to complete the project in September; Mr. Spacey has not yet filmed his role.

 

Asked about the sexual assault allegations, Louis Nero said, “I only know that he is a good actor — that’s it.”
