EVERY WEEKDAY MORNING, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the best of the day’s celebrity dirt from the top to the very bottom.
Stephen Fry has admitted to snorting cocaine in Buckingham Palace and the House of Lords, as well as several other high-profile institutions. The QI host made the admission in his new autobiography, which was published yesterday.
Fry discusses his 15-year cocaine habit in great depth and detail, and offered up this apology.
I take this opportunity to apologise unreservedly, to the owners, managers or representatives of the noble and ignoble premises and to the hundreds of private homes, offices, car dashboards, tables, mantelpieces and available polished surfaces that could so easily have been added to this list of shame.
As for why he took cocaine?
I took it because I really, really liked it.
Fair enough. (Daily Mail)
A prankster reportedly lunged for Kim Kardashian and nearly knocked her over on a Paris red carpet yesterday. Notorious red carpet prankster Vitalli Sediuk was escorted from the scene after he allegedly pulled Kardashian’s hair as she made her way into the Balmain show at Paris Fashion Week.
This isn’t the first time the Ukrainian journalist has struck. He previously attacked Brad Pitt and attempted to kiss Will Smith.
Sediuk later apologised and called Kim a “goddess”. So that’s alright then. (TMZ)
Matt Damon has spoken out on the death of Robin Williams. In an interview with Katie Couric, Damon stated that he and Ben Affleck owed everything to Williams, who starred opposite the pair in Good Will Hunting.
Ben and I owe everything to him. He said yes to our movie and he got it made. I could never thank him enough. You know, I look around at the life I have and how blessed I feel, and so much of it started with him.
Damon also described the late actor as “ funniest person that I ever met in my life”.
He was the guy who, when the crew was flagging, he would stop everything and do 20 minutes of standup off the top of his head that literally had everybody on the floor, then be like, ‘OK, let’s get back to work.’
