Cate Blanchett injured in chainsaw accident
Oscar-winning actress Cate Blanchett has been injured in a chainsaw accident at her home in England. “I’m fine. I had a bit of a chainsaw accident yesterday, which sounds very, very exciting, but it wasn’t,” the 51-year-old movie star said on “A Podcast of One’s Own” with former Australia Prime Minister Julia Gillard. “Apart from the little nick to my head, we’re fine.” Blanchett, whose credits include “Lord of the Rings,” “Elizabeth,” “Mrs. America” and an upcoming Lucille Ball biopic, didn’t elaborate on why she was using power tools but reportedly said she’s taken a year off from acting to focus on helping her four children with homeschooling amid the coronavirus pandemic. “So it’s a little bit discombobulating, but it’s a high-class problem. We’re all well. And so I found myself being a kindergarten teacher to my 5-year-old, which is just as challenging. I have a huge respect for the teaching profession,” Blanchett said.
Jake Paul charged
YouTube star Jake Paul has been charged for unlawfully entering and remaining inside the Scottsdale Fashion Square mall in Arizona when it was closed. ET reports he’s facing misdemeanor charges of criminal trespassing and unlawful assembly. Paul, 23, said he was peacefully protesting police brutality after the death of George Floyd and denied participating in any vandalism or vandalism. “For context, we spent the day doing our part to peacefully protest one of the most horrific injustices our country has ever seen, which led to us being tear-gassed for filming the events and brutality that were unfolding in Arizona,” Paul said. “Gimme my charges and let’s put the focus back on George Floyd and Black Lives Matter.”
