 Judy Greer was 'so broke' before filming "Wedding Planner" that Matthew McConaughey covered her $20 valet bill Judy Greer, now known as the quintessential rom-com best friend, was still early in her career when she landed her role in The Wedding Planner alongside Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey.  During a recent interview, she recalled a memorable moment from the film’s early days when McConaughey stepped in to help her out of an embarrassing situation.  At the time, Greer had parked at the Roosevelt Hotel for a table read but didn’t have enough money to pay the valet.  Mortified, she was on the pay phone trying to figure out a solution when McConaughey overheard and handed her $20, instantly becoming her hero. Greer remembered McConaughey fondly, describing him as “lovely” throughout filming.  She recalled seeing him in hair and makeup each morning, relaxed in pajamas and sipping yerba mate tea, and noted that his easygoing nature left a lasting impress...

 'Abducted' Tanzanian opposition figure found dead

A member of the Tanzanian opposition party Chadema has been found dead after being abducted, beaten and doused with acid, party leader Freeman Mbowe said on Sunday.


Ali Mohamed Kibao, a member of Chadema's national secretariat, was forced off a bus at gunpoint on Friday by suspected security agents as he was travelling from Dar es Salaam to the northern port city of Tanga, party officials said, AFP reported.


His body was found in the Ununio waterfront district of Dar es Salaam on Saturday night.


The incident comes less than a month after Mbowe, his deputy Tundu Lissu and other Chadema leaders were briefly detained in a mass roundup ahead of a planned party youth event.


"The postmortem has been conducted (witnessed by) Chadema lawyers and it is clear that Kibao was severely beaten and had acid poured on his face," Mbowe told reporters.


"We cannot allow our people to continue disappearing or being killed like this," he said. "The lives of Chadema leaders are currently at risk."


He said several other party officials had also gone missing, without giving details.


Rights groups and government opponents have raised fears the recent crackdown on the opposition could signal a return to oppressive policies.


The arrests came despite President Samia Suluhu Hassan vowing a return to "competitive politics" and easing some restrictions on the opposition and the media, including lifting a six-year ban on opposition gatherings.


Amnesty said the mass arrests in August were a "deeply worrying sign" in the run-up to local government elections in December 2024 and general elections due late next year.
