RuPaul’s Drag Race winner The Vivienne has sadly died aged 32.

James Lee Williams, known as The Vivienne, won season one of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK.

Born in Wales, the 32-year-old took on the drag name after being known for wearing Vivienne Westwood clothing.

Publicist, Simon Jomnes, shared the heartbreaking news on January 5, writing on Instagram: “It is with immense sadness that we let you know our beloved James Lee Williams – The Vivienne, has passed this weekend.

“Their family are heartbroken at the loss of their son, brother and uncle. They are so proud of the wonderful things James achieved in their life and career.

“We please ask that James’s family are given the time and privacy they now need to process and grieve.”

“These are words I never ever wanted to write. Viv was a close friend, a client and someone I loved very much.

“Their comic genius and quick wit was like no other.”

RuPaul’s Drag Race judge Michelle Visage shared a tribute to the star, upon hearing the news: “Heartbreaking, I don’t know how to say how I feel.

“My darling @thevivienne_ we go back to when I started coming over here to the UK. You were always there, always laughing, always giving, always on point.

“Your laughter, your wit, your talent, your drag. I loved all of it but I loved your friendship most of all.

“You were a beacon to so many. Seeing you make your West End debut was amazing for me to witness your dream come true right in front of my eyes, I’m the lucky one to have known you and to have laughed together with you so many times.”

Heartbreaking, RIP.

Scarlett Johansson has opened up about an awkward incident while filming, which caused Joaquin Phoenix to leave the studio.

Filming love scenes can be one of the most difficult parts of an actor’s job, because while they may appear intimate on-screen, the reality is anything but.

From being surrounded by a crew watching your every move to having to wear modesty patches over the crucial areas, sex scenes can be pretty unsexy behind the cameras.

Scarlett, 40, has opened up on one such scene that was so “bizarre” that Joaquin, 50, ended up leaving the set.

Speaking to hosts Dax Shepard and Monica Padman on the Armchair Expert podcast in 2022, Scarlett opened up about the sex scene the pair filmed on the 2013 movie Her.

She and Joaquin had starred in the Spike Jonze-directed sci-fi romance movie, which is set in a near-future LA, as a lonely divorced man who falls for his AI assistant.

Scarlett only appears in the movie as the voice of the character, but the film does include a steamy phone sex session between her character Samantha and Joaquin’s character Theodore.

She revealed on the podcast that Joaquin had already filmed his part of the scene but as Scarlett’s part only featured her voice, he would need to join her in the recording studio while she recorded hers.

She explained: “Joaquin comes in, we try to get through one take, and he was, like, losing it.

“He was like, angry … He had already done [the scene], he had done it in person, and now he was with me, in this weird theater, I’m in this box and [Joaquin] is staring at me, the lights are low, and like, Spike is there. It was so bizarre.

“Joaquin was so upset about it, he left the studio. He needed a break.”

“You don’t want to hear your voice, ever,” she revealed. “You definitely don’t want to hear what you sound like having an orgasm.

You definitely don’t want to hear what you sound like having a fake orgasm – ew. It’s so gross.”

Yeah, that does sound pretty uncomfortable, to be fair.

Despite the filming of that scene being pretty painful, the movie did well overall, having a Rotten Tomatoes score of 95 percent.

Emma Watson has announced that he is ‘self-partnered’ and explained what she means.

In 2019, just before her 30th birthday, the actress was interviewed by Vogue.

She admitted that she ‘had all these ideas’ about where her life would be by 30 and she felt ‘stressed and anxious’ about the things she had not achieved yet.

The Harry Potter star said; “And I realise it’s because there is suddenly this bloody influx of subliminal messaging around,”

“If you have not built a home, if you do not have a husband, if you do not have a baby, and you are turning 30, and you’re not in some incredibly secure, stable place in your career, or you’re still figuring things out…

“There’s just this incredible amount of anxiety.”

“It took me a long time, but I’m very happy [being single]. I call it being self-partnered.”

The term baffled fans -so what exactly does it mean?

It basically means a single person who is completely happy staying single. They are not looking to find a relationship to “complete them”. They are satisfied with their own company.

Sitting down with the publication again in 2023, Watson expanded on what she had meant.

The now 34-year-old said; “Getting to the point when I was 30, I was realising, ‘Oh, maybe I’ve figured out some things about how to care for myself better – maybe quite well, actually’. And taking pride in that.”

“Coming out of Covid, I really understood the importance of building community, having community and investing, very intentionally, time and energy into that.”

Despite feeling so secure in her single life, she is reportedly dating an Oxford University student named Kieran Brown. The pair have been together since July 2024.
