Hollywood actress Courteney Cox sold her house because it was haunted and faced multiple complaints about spirits from guests and former owner Carole King. While appearing on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ and being asked about her experiences with ghosts, the 57-year-old actress told the host: “I have had one. I didn’t believe at first, but I lived in this house in Laurel Canyon, which is in LA, obviously. It was Gypsy Rose Lee’s house and Carole King.” Courteney shared how the ‘Tapestry’ singer-songwriter came over and did a seance with her and though she was too starstruck to be fully immersed in the experience, she listened as she explained about the people who had left a supernatural mark on the home, reports femalefirst.co.uk. She continued: “So Carole King came over to my house and she said there had been a divorce that was really ugly, and there was a ghost in the house. And I was like, ‘Yeah, whatever’. But other people who had stayed there with me, like friends of mine, said they felt an encounter with a woman who was sitting on the edge of the bed. And I was ‘Yeah, whatever.’” The ‘Scream’ star even did a seance with Carole but didn’t pay attention to it because she was so “in awe” of the ’70s music icon. -Source: IANS

Jimmy Kimmel slams Oscars for snubbing No Way Home in Best Picture category
When the nominations for the 94th Academy Awards were announced on Tuesday, fans were disappointed to see that the Marvel-Sony blockbuster Spider-Man: No Way Home failed to win a nomination for Best Picture. The critically acclaimed and commercially successful film was tipped to be one of the rare superhero films to earn a Best Picture Oscar nod. But in the end, it failed to find a place among the ten nominees. Talk show host Jimmy Kimmel is among those who feel the film has been unjustly ‘snubbed’. The late-night chat show host used the February 8 episode of his show Jimmy Kimmel Live to attack the Academy Awards. During his monologue, he referred to No Way Home and said, “How did it not get one of the 10 nominations for best picture? Forget the fact that the movie made $750 million [in the US] and is still going. This was a great movie. It wasn’t in the top 10 best movies of the year?”
Jimmy particularly took offence to satirical comedy Don’t Look Up pipping No Way Home in the nominees’ list. “There were three Spider-Men in it. You’re telling me Don’t Look Up was better than Spider-Man? It most certainly was not,” he said.
The host argued that the voters of the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts & Sciences, who determine the nominees, were swayed by Don’t Look Up’s heavyweight cast, including Leonardo DiCaprio and Meryl Streep.
