Talk about a blast from the Fosters past! Most of Callie and Mariana’s family will, once again, return to the spinoff Good Trouble in Season 3. But there’s also another familiar face making a shocking appearance in TVLine’s exclusive promo (spoiler alert!): Jude’s friend-turned-love interest Connor (played by Gavin MacIntosh)! “The episode is Brandon and Eliza’s going-away party,” ahead of their move to Amsterdam, executive producer Joanna Johnson previews. Eliza’s parents, Jim (Robert Gant) and Diane (Susan Walters), are hosting the themed shindig, which features “a lot of fun surprises.” You don’t say! In the following video, Brandon and Eliza have a bombshell that they’re planning to drop at the very last minute. The biggest gasp, however, comes courtesy of Connor, who was last seen during a Season 3 installment of The Fosters in 2016. Viewers can also expect “a lot of humor, because we always love to have fun with our Foster family,” Johnson adds. And Stef’s reaction to her required party attire is definitely guaranteed to make you chuckle. Elsewhere, there’s some definite tension between Callie and her (ex?) beau Jamie as the two navigate the latest woes in their relationship. (Get more scoop on that here.) Good Trouble Season 3 premieres this Wednesday at 10/9c on Freeform; the eventful Fosters reunion takes place in Episode 4. Press PLAY below to watch the promo, then hit the comments with your thoughts on the unexpected comeback! The Masked Singer will be masked no more come Wednesday’s Season 4 finale (Fox, 9/8c), so now’s the time to lock in your guesses about Crocodile, Mushroom and Sun! In our opinion, this season of the really odd reality show has had the toughest, most misdirecting clues in the show’s history. But it’s also had some of the series’ best performances (we’re still thinking about Seahorse/Tori Kelly’s gorgeous rendition of “My Heart Will Go On”) and one of its weirdest firsts (Mickey Rourke’s Gremlin stunt, anyone?). And when you think about it, we know quite a lot about the Final Three. If you’ve been paying close attention through all of their pre-performance video packages, on-stage clue drops and interviews, there’s a good chance you’ve already nailed down the identities of the last singers standing. Congrats! And if you haven’t, well, that’s what we’re here for. All season long, TVLine has paid rapt attention to The Masked Singer‘s many clues, and we’ve locked in our guesses about who’s underneath the last three (really giant) costume heads. And here’s where you come in. The season finale this coming Wednesday (following a “Road to the Finals” episode that airs at 8 pm) will crown a new winner.

The NYPD Blue alum returned to familiar territory by appearing in the (early) Season 10 finale of CBS’ Blue Bloods as Paula Hill, a woman who had a special favor to ask of Commissioner Frank Reagan — to get her son, a cop, transferred to a less dangerous assignment. And why would Frank consider this request?
Because the FIU officer in question, Joe Hill (played by Will Hochman), is a grandson Frank never knew about. Because Joe Hill is the late Joe Reagan’s kid.
Mind you, the seed for this reveal was planted only a few scenes prior, when Sean shared with his grandpa that through some ancestry site/school assignment, he was matched with a male cousin that no one knows of. Frank, as you can imagine, was a bit bowled over by Paula’s reveal — he has another grandson, and one who’s a cop at that! Frank’s feelings became even more pronounced after he met with the officer, all the while (barely) keeping their relation under wraps.
Frank shared this bombshell with the rest of the family, each of whom was similarly wowed. They agreed that it’d be great to meet this new kin over one of the famous family dinners. That plan hit a snag when Frank told Paula that he would not be obliging her request because, among other reasons, there is never any guarantee that a quieter assignment will be a safer one. Rebuffed and irked, she declared that there would be no further bonding between Joe, whom she had just looped in, and his newfound family.
As it would turn out, though, the next family dinner did have a very special guest, when Sean arrived with his new cousin in tow. Joe made the rounds of introductions, was privy to some familiar teasing, and then sat down with everyone for what promises to be quite the get-to-know-you supper. Though as with last year’s season-ending wedding…. we can only imagine what it looked like. (Nicky and Jack, maybe you can Skype with him some day?)
Elsewhere in the ersatz season finale:
* Eddie got a bit (…or a lot) too attached to a newborn that she and Jamie found in front of the precinct, left inside a duffle bag. And while it was incredibly bittersweet when they eventually tracked down the conflicted birth mom (who had grown leery of the adoption service she had made a deal with), things did seem to leave off with Jamie and Eddie on the same page about making a baby they can call their own.
* Danny and Baez investigated the murder of a key witness in Eric’s prosecution of a neighborhood crime boss, eventually turning up evidence that said thug ordered the hit.
* Erin balked when Anthony aimed to use their resources for personal business, to run a background check on someone — though she wound up coming through, realizing that Anthony is pretty much “family” a la any other favor-asking Reagans.
What did you think of “Family Secrets”? Would you like to add a new Reagan to the mix? (Maybe two, if Jamie and his “hero” get… it… done?)

Need to catch up? Read our previous How to Get Away With Murder recap here.
And here I was, naively thinking How to Get Away With Murder couldn’t surprise me anymore.
I’m not just talking about the identity of Asher Millstone’s killer, which we learned in Thursday’s episode — though I certainly didn’t predict the person who was wielding that fireplace poker, either. Rather, I was stunned that Murder revealed the culprit so soon; with four weeks left in the final season, I assumed that question would linger a while longer. But Pete Nowalk had other plans!
Let’s jump right in with the events of “The Reckoning,” which seemed to set up a war between Annalise and her former students.
THE EARS HAVE IT | Let’s get Asher’s murderer out of the way early: Though I was convinced that Gabriel had offed his onetime classmate — and many of you suspected him, too, along with Bonnie and Frank — he was merely an innocent witness to the crime. But you might remember that earlier this season, Murder introduced an associate of Xavier Castillo’s who 1) pretended to be an Airbnb guest in Annalise’s building, and 2) cut the brakes on Bonnie’s car, causing the accident that nearly killed her. And though this associate seemed like a background player for much of the season, we learned on Thursday that she was the one behind Asher’s death — which I suppose means Xavier was orchestrating the whole thing, like Bonnie and Frank had theorized. But more on that later.
Through a series of flashbacks, we get to see what happened after Asher offered Gabriel $ 64,000 for his cell phone — and to save us all some time, let’s break down what actually happened that night, despite the way this episode jumps around in time and serves up a few red herrings. First, Gabriel does hand over his device — which, notably, seems to be a second phone that he owns — but he pauses to ask Asher if Wes killed Sam Keating by himself. Asher responds that he wasn’t there when Sam died, but he thinks Wes must have had help from someone. Gabriel, meanwhile, refuses to accept Asher’s check because he thinks Asher’s high, but Asher convinces him to keep it as collateral until he gets his phone back.
When he’s back in his own apartment, Asher calls his sister (who’s partying in Atlantic City), revealing that he came clean to his friends about being the mole. He’s also worried that the FBI won’t follow through with their deal, since Asher hasn’t given them any evidence that implicates the others; Chloe tries to calm him and calls a car to pick him up. While he waits for his ride to arrive, Asher records a video message on Gabriel’s phone that we later learn is intended for Connor, Oliver and Michaela. “I’m not sorry for what I did,” Asher confesses. “I chose my family. And maybe that makes me a schmuck or soft, but I love them. And I love you guys, too.” He closes by imploring his three friends to do the right thing and look out for themselves — and just as he’s about to email them the video, Asher gets a knock at his door.
Initially, we don’t learn the identity of Asher’s mystery guest, but it’s revealed at the end of the hour to be Xavier’s associate, with whom Asher clearly has some kind of working relationship. “Where have you been? I’ve called you, like, 10 times,” Asher says. She asks Asher where he wants to go, and he replies that he’d like to go home to his mom’s house. She agrees to take him there, and she’ll wait for him to return Gabriel’s phone first — but as soon as Asher steps out into the hallway, the woman grabs hold of the fireplace poker she’d been hiding, and she kills Asher with a couple of wicked blows.
Meanwhile, when Asher’s murder goes down, Gabriel hears some commotion from the hallway, including a thud and Asher’s protests. Gabriel gets on his stomach to peek through the crack between his apartment door and the floor, and he watches as Asher’s life ends — and though he doesn’t get a good look at the killer’s face, he glimpses a woman’s dark hair as she descends the stairs and leaves the building.
Now, at first, Gabriel believes that Laurel was the one to murder Asher, especially after learning that Laurel used to live in Asher’s apartment before he did. He’s so sure of it, in fact, that he goes to the FBI to share that Laurel is the culprit. Upon hearing Gabriel’s theory, Agent Lanford calls in Special Agent Pollack, who was Asher’s point person at the FBI… and, as it turns out, Agent Pollack is Asher’s murderer. (It remains unclear whether Pollack is a legitimate FBI agent who came to work for Xavier Castillo on the side, or if she’s a full-time Castillo crony who somehow infiltrated the FBI. Either way, it seems to me that Asher took Pollack’s FBI gig at face value, and he didn’t know that she was working with the Castillos. But anything’s possible, I suppose.)
When Pollack enters Lanford’s office, she’s a little nervous to hear that Gabriel may have laid eyes on Asher’s murderer. But just when it seems like Gabriel is about to point the finger at Laurel, he realizes that Pollack is wearing some very distinctive earrings, including a cartilage piercing… and he remembers seeing those exact earrings on Asher’s killer as he watched her walk down the stairs. (I’ll choose to suspend my disbelief that Gabriel would ever have spotted someone’s jewelry from such a far distance, while peeking through a crack in the door.) Gabriel looks stunned as he mentally connects the dots — and though we don’t see the end of his conversation with the FBI, he does go to Connor, Michaela and Oliver later that day to share that he knows who killed Asher. “It was the FBI,” he reveals, leaving the three of them shocked.
PEACHY KEATING | Meanwhile, Annalise has her own problems to address. After getting arrested in Mexico, she’s on house arrest in the United States — welcome to the quarantine, Professor! — and her mother, Ophelia, is staying with her. But at her arraignment a week earlier, Annalise was merely charged with possession of a false ID and passport forgery, which seems suspect. Annalise is certain that AUSA Montes is hiding her real case against Annalise behind these flimsy charges, in order to surprise her with a slew of more substantial charges at trial. To that end, Annalise files for a bill of particulars — or, as Ophelia calls it, “that bill of peculiarities” — which would force AUSA to give Annalise a heads-up about all the additional charges she plans to bring against her. And Annalise wins this motion, because she’s Annalise.
The next day, Annalise looks through the upcoming charges against her — including the first-degree murder of Sam Keating. Annalise quickly deduces that Connor and Michaela must have taken a deal, because there’s no way Asher alone could have supplied the FBI with convincing evidence of Sam’s murder. “The little bitches turned,” Annalise says… but she insists that she, Bonnie and Frank need to play nice with Michaela, Connor and Oliver for now, and she even tells her former students that she won’t sell them out, because then she’ll look like a fool for protecting them all these years. “If we can’t trust each other, what do we have?” she says to the trio, not-so-subtly hinting that she knows they’ve already betrayed her.
Unfortunately, there might be another traitor to add to Annalise’s list, and that’s Nate. When Tegan takes a meeting with AUSA Montes, attempting to get some of Annalise’s charges dropped before trial, Tegan scoffs at the “aggravated arson” charge, since Annalise’s house only exploded due to a gas leak a few seasons ago. That’s when AUSA reveals that the arson charge doesn’t refer to Annalise’s campus house; it’s about the fire started at her childhood home on Peachtree Street (which we already know was started by Annalise’s mother in order to kill Annalise’s sexually abusive uncle).
“They’re alleging a pattern of arson based on the fire that burnt down your childhood home,” Tegan tells Annalise, who’s more concerned about how the FBI even obtained the news clipping about the Peachtree fire. And that’s when it hits her: The night that Annalise took off for Mexico, Nate had handed over the files that D.A. Denver used to keep on all of them, which included the news article about the Peachtree fire. At the time, it seemed like Nate hadn’t given those files to the FBI… but Annalise now assumes that he made copies of the documents, which he must have given to the bureau. (We don’t see any flashback footage of Nate doing this, but we do know he’d spoken to the FBI before, while pursuing justice for his father. So Annalise could be right.)
Annalise reveals to Bonnie and Frank that Nate likely betrayed her, and Frank is ready to put Nate in a body bag right then and there. But Annalise insists that Nate can’t know they’ve figured out his secret; she even tells Bonnie and Frank to get out of Dodge and protect themselves, which is exactly what Annalise tried to do for herself in Mexico. But they both refuse the offer: “It’s always been the three of us,” Bonnie counters.
“They wanna come after me, call me an arsonist?” Annalise says. “Well, they better get ready, ‘cause we’re gonna burn every last one of those motherf—kers down.” (Bonnie seems pleased by that idea.) And this episode answers another big question about Annalise: The night that she went to Mexico, she had asked her VIP Results driver to stop the car so that she could go back and get Bonnie to come with her. But when she knocked furiously on Bonnie’s door, Bonnie didn’t answer, because she’d gone to Annalise’s apartment to let her know that Asher was the mole. At first, Annalise suspects Bonnie of killing Asher, because “you found out what he was doing, and I know what you’ve done before.” But Bonnie tearfully responds that it wasn’t her, and Annalise chooses to believe her. (And it’s a relief to know that she should!)

Someone then pushes Graham to the ground and when he looks up, there is an unidentifiable hooded figure standing over him.
But who is it?
It can be presumed, Charity isn’t the murder judging by his lack of care and response when he sees her, that could also apply to Jamie.
However, when Andrea was noticed, his body language changed and he started to run, the same with Marlon, Al and Jai.
Does this mean the almighty Kim Tate could be innocent once and for all?
Emmerdale airs weekday evenings at 7pm on ITV.
]]>It’s time for A Million Little Things‘ Patricia Bloom to start talking.
I understand that Maggie’s mom is going through something big, emotional and messy as we enter this week’s episode. I similarly understand that Maggie, with her huffy sighs and angry walk-outs, isn’t giving her mom much time to explain exactly what’s going on between her and the affable stranger Mags met last episode. But we don’t get any closer to the truth this week — despite a promising set up for a dramatic brunch at the end of the hour — and it’s frustrating.
I feel like the show’s Powers That Be understand our pain. Why else would they give us Gary performing the heck outta the arm choreography from Grease’s “Greased Lightning?”
Read on for the highlights of “Mixed Signals.”
ROME IS BACK TO WORK | After dropping that bomb about Jon maybe being his dad, PJ tries to flee, but Rome stops him. “Your mom is Barbara Morgan?” he asks incredulously. “It’s Nelson now,” the teen confirms. Rome points out that Dave was Barbara’s boyfriend back in the day; if anyone other than Mitch is PJ’s pop, it’s probably him. But PJ brings up the video Jon left. “I think something happened between Jon and my mom after Dave died,” he says. “Why was leaving a tape for my mom the last thing Jon did?” Rome corrects him: The actual last thing Jon did was leave Barbara roughly half a million dollars.
Rome later has lunch with a producer friend of his (hi, Power‘s Jerry Ferrara!) who loves the script but suggests that Rome ditch the suicide aspect of it; to be fair, the guy isn’t aware that Rome worked that in based on his own experiences. Outside the restaurant where the old pals meet, an acquaintance of Rome’s approaches him to ask him to direct a Lexus commercial, but Rome turns him down.
Meanwhile, the women’s shelter where Regina donated the money from her pedophile uncle wants people to know about her generosity, but she demurs — the donation was anonymous, she says, and she wants it to stay that way. Later in the episode, she takes some of Andrew’s advice about hiring a social media consultant but then bristles when she sees a first pass of the restaurant’s website, which makes it seem like Regina was Andrew’s “discovery.”
At home later, Regina works through her complicated feelings about, well, everything, by recognizing that her problem with Andrew stems from the fact that “he’s a businessman in a position of power over me” and by acknowledging that while she didn’t want to use her uncle’s money in the restaurant, she wishes she had another way to do it all on her own. So Rome instantly decides to take the Lexus gig after all/ “I’m doing it for the love of my life. Let me help you, baby,” he says when she protests. Then she cries, and they hug. Oh, and he’s not taking his friend’s notes on the script, because — like Regina re: the women’s shelter — he doesn’t want to be anonymous anymore.
MOMMY ISSUES | The morning after Maggie saw her mother with the mystery guy at the restaurant, she’s in a mood that even Gary cannot tease her out of. “You actually had me believing that she was here to see me,” she says, revealing the true nature of her hurt. He later shows up at her office and teases her into doing a mock session with him, but Maggie isn’t in the mood and point-blank asks him why she’s the very first woman he’s ever lived with. Then she adds that her issues with her mom are not his to fix, and he might want to look into his own weirdness with women, which likely stems from his mother, Alice.
Eventually, Maggie goes to her old apartment and finds her mother sobbing. But before Mags can talk to her, she realizes that her mom is on the phone with the guy from the restaurant, who is named Eric — damn you, AirPods! — and her proto-sympathy turns to rage. Patricia hangs up and tearfully admits that Eric is “a friend” she met a month before. “Did you come to Boston to see him or me?” Maggie demand. “Both,” Patricia says sadly, watching her daughter walk out once more.
Back at the apartment much later, Gary walks in the door and immediately tells Maggie, in detail, about how his mother left and how he couldn’t bring himself to open his bedroom door when she knocked to say goodbye. “I thought if I didn’t answer it, she couldn’t leave,” he says. “One of the greatest regrets of my life, not opening that door.” Maggie draws him near and kisses his forehead. “You don’t have to worry,” she says softly. “I don’t give up on the people I love.”
Then we see Gary call his mom, but he can’t bring himself to say anything when she picks up. And on a morning not long after, Patricia arrives for breakfast at Gary and Maggie’s… only she’s brought Eric along as a surprise. (To be fair, it seems to be a surprise to him, too, that Gary and Maggie didn’t know he was coming.)
WHOA KEEP TALKIN’ WHOA KEEP TALKIN’ | While Delilah is on a date with Andrew, Gary learns that Danny has a call-back for the school musical. The show? Grease. The part? Kenicke. But the kid is divided about it, because his main competition is Elliot, aka his old crush, with whom he is no longer speaking. Gary gifts Danny a pleather jacket and coaches him on the choreography to “Greased Ligthning,” and I have to applaud James Roday’s dedication to just about everything having to do with this storyline.
There are many heart-to-hearts, and a few pep talks, and finally Danny gets some good news: Elliot got the part of Kenicke… but Danny got Danny Zuko! (His night ended much better than his mom’s, who agrees with Andrew that they’re not ready to see people romantically just yet.)
BEHIND THE 8 BALL | Katherine and Eddie are surprised when Theo wants to go to a sleepover at his friend’s house, but it soon becomes clear that the kid is angling for his parents to have some alone time. (He also takes the suitcase so his mother can’t leave again, which, sad.) Eddie and Katherine wind up shooting pool at a bar, and they kiss, but then she pushes him away and acknowledges that she’ll probably be giving him some mixed signals as she figures everything out. He rolls with it, AS HE SHOULD: After what he’s put her through, Eddie should roll with every damn thing that woman says and/or does.
Elsewhere, PJ takes Jon’s Harvard jacket that he stole from Gary and sends it off to be DNA tested to see if the dead man is actually his dad.

Back when Star Wars The Force Awakens smashed its way to $ 2.068 billion worldwide, it looked set to be the king of the modern cinema era. Infinity War squeaked up very close last year with a $ 2.048 billion haul, and now Endgame looks set to blast past that and Star Wars 9 looks unlikely to match it. Avengers 4 is also on track for the biggest opening weekend of all time. All these facts and the eclipse of Star Wars all have one massive factor in common.
China. The country, not the tableware, obviously.
A new Avengers Endgame analysis is predicting the movie will take around $ 820million on its opening weekend, compared to Infinity War’s $ 630 million.
The fact that Avengers 4 is the climax to over ten years and 21 movies so far in the Marvel Cinematic Universe should guarantee a strong opening. As should the fact that Infinity War ended on one of the biggest movie cliffhangers of all time.
But it is the emerging importance of China, reinforced by Aquaman’s spectacularly effective strategy there, which changes everything.
Traditionally, Hollywood blockbusters have opened in China long after the rest of the world. Aquaman flipped the game, opening there first. This clever gamble paid off and gave the movie a massive opening which ignited a slightly hesitant box office still bruised from the previous uneven DC offerings.
Marvel and the Avengers movies are already secure in their appeal and anticipation and guaranteed an enormous opening anyway. However, Avengers 3 took $ 190 million when it opened in China, weeks after the rest of the world.
Add that to the main opening weekend’s $ 630million and even if Endgame performs only as well as Infinity War it will take a combined $ 820 million. However, it is very likely it will actually surpass the previous movie. Could it pass $ 1 billion?
A billion dollar opening weekend is not impossible, but there have been no industry tracking figures released yet. When tickets start going on sale next week, the official predictions will begin.
The huge importance of China is also the main contributing factor why Star Wars 9 is unlikely to match Endgame.
The Star Wars franchise has yet to find any real traction in China, while Marvel, DC, Pixar and franchises like Fast and Furious do increasingly well.
The Force Awakens only took £124million total in China and The Last Jedi plummetted to $ 42million. With a Star Wars franchise still beset with fan divisions and a Marvel powerhouse still going from strength to strength, it looks like the Avengers will End the Game in triumph, once and for all.
ORIGINAL STORY IN DEADLINE
Emmerdale viewers have been begging for fan-favourite Joe Tate (played by Ned Porteous) to be alive and it seems that possibility is high as a new theory comes to light.
He was last seen back in October, announced dead by Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) following Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) punching him.
Whilst there are several reasons and even some evidence to suggest he is still alive, where would he be living?
It comes after last night’s episode which sent fans into a frenzy when Graham rang a mystery person saying: “We’ve got a problem, we’re going to need another plan.”
Many initially assumed Graham was calling Joe, but the businessman is not foolish and rarely makes silly judgements.
Therefore it led to the suggestion that Graham was in fact calling James Tate, Kim Tate’s (Claire King) son, who has not been seen in Emmerdale since his departure as a toddler back in 1999, 20 years ago.
Taking this one step further, a viewer took to Twitter and commented: “Okay random theory which makes no sense but oh well, Graham got rid of Joe near the arches, could he have put him on a train and told James Tate to meet him at the station? James could be living abroad and looking after Joe?”
Soap fans will remember how Graham supposedly disposed of Joe’s body; he drove to an unknown location, which seemed to be near a train track, as there were arches which formed a viaduct.
Could Graham have got Joe out and sneaked him onto a nearby train, or dropped Joe off at a nearby train station to leave the area quickly but unsuspiciously?
The second part of the fan’s theory suggests James is living abroad, can be backed up with a tease actress Claire dropped when discussing her character’s return to the soap back in October.
During a conversation with Soap Bubble, Claire said: “I had this theory ages ago; she [Kim] probably married someone or nicked some money off a very wealthy man, ran off to the Costa Del Sol, committed loads of crime. In fact, she was probably with James committed a lot of crime, the two of them a bit sort of Bonnie and Clyde.”
Does this suggest James was left in Spain and potentially still lives there?
Whilst there is a chance Joe has never met his uncle, it is likely that Graham knows all about James considering how close he and Kim are.
To add to this, Claire also revealed to Digital Spy how her character had “asked Graham to try and find him [James]”.
With a potential contact number, or even address, Graham could have easily got in touch with James and asked him to help Joe out.
But, there is a question as to whether or not James would do such a thing.
Considering how he was treated by his mother, “sent off to school” by which he responded to by “running away”, it seems the pairs relationship was not all that harmonious. And viewers know Kim only cares about herself.
Therefore, should James hate his mother, he could very well help Graham and Joe out. Could the two young Tate’s return to Emmerdale and confront Kim in an almighty showdown?
Express.co.uk ran an exclusive poll and asked readers: “How would you like Joe Tate to return to Emmerdale?”
Whilst the majority chose a romantic reuniting with Debbie Dingle (Charley Webb), the minority – 626 out of 13,000 votes – did opt for him to comeback with James.
The staggering figures are even more shocking since they don’t take into account the revenue from home entertainment packages. The recent release on digital download and streaming smashed the opening week record set by Avengers Endgame, so the figures reported here could rocket again. What could surprise many more than anything is the remarkable amount that Mary Austin will make, even though she has not been involved in the film.
Bohemian Rhapsody was made for a relatively modest £40million. With worldwide box office now over £650million that represents a staggering profit.
The studio is expected to bank half of the profits after marketing and distribution costs which leaves an incredible windfall for the three surviving members of Queen, as well as Freddie’s main beneficiary, Mary.
Expanded from the first estimates in January, the three surviving members of Queen – Brain May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon – stand to make around £70million each. Deacon also had nothing to do with the film but a major report revealed all Queen-related profits have been split four ways ever since Freddie’s death.
BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY: WAS ADAM LAMBERT DROPPED FROM FILM AS FREDDIE?
Freddie’s share used to be split 50/50 between Mary Austin and his family. Following the deaths of both his parents, Mary is said to now receive their share, leaving the remaining 25% to the star’s sister, Kashmira Cook.
This means Mary Austin could make as much as £45million from the proceed of Bohemian Rhapsody, with the Queen bandmates each pocketing up to £70million.
This latest windfall will make a significant difference to the band members’ wealth. The 2018 Sunday Times Rich List valued May’s fortune at £135million, Taylor’s at £130million and Deacon’s at £105million.
Despite living his last years with a man, Freddie always regarded Mary as his common-law wife. He famously wrote Love Of My Life For Her. She was there throughout his final days and only she, not his family, knows where his ashes are scattered.
Freddie left Mary his West London mansion, where she still resides, as well as much of his £9million fortune.
BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY IS OUT NOW ON DIGITAL AND DOWNLOAD, AND ON DVD AND BLU-RAY ON MARCH 3
Google Maps Street View has photographed an incredibly odd image in Australia. It appears to show a security breach underway – but the perpetrators are not what one would expect. The snap, taken on the Canberra Centenary Trail, shows an outpost for emergency services. The small building comes with the sign “ACT (Australian Capital Territory) Emergency Services Agency” and then added underneath: “Unauthorised access prohibited.
“Warning” signs in red can also be seen on a door into the Agency’s building.
However, some travellers to the area are showing a blatant disregard for the regulations.
They are brazenly flouting the rules by standing on the steps of the outpost as well as on top of a large container.
These intruders are not human, however – rather a herd of white and brown goats.
The placements of the animals under the “unauthorised access” sign adds perfectly to the comedy of the photo.
A selection of slightly less brave goats can be seen behind the building – clearly not as bold as their two comrades.
This is far from the first time animals have been caught in hilarious situations by Google Maps.
One on occasion, Street View captured an idyllic image of a cow grazing on some grass by the River Cam in Cambridge, UK.
At first glance, there is nothing out of the ordinary about the bovine animal as it feeds.
However, on closer inspection, a viewer can spot that the cow’s face has been blurred out.
This is the same privacy measure Google always takes with human faces, vehicle registration numbers and house numbers.
So why has Google decided to blur this cow’s face out? Did they intend to protect its privacy or was it a simple technological error?
Google showed a sense of humour when responding to queries about the mysterious cow.
A spokesman for Google told The Telegraph: “We thought you were pulling the udder one when we herd the moos, but it’s clear that our automatic face-blurring technology has been a little overzealous.
“Of course, we don’t begrudge this cow milking its five minutes of fame.”
Another Google photo from Rome, Italy captured a cat in a very funny close up.
