 Meryl Streep had 'beef' with Goldie Hawn on 'Death Becomes Her' set Meryl Streep recently reflected on her long friendship with Goldie Hawn, admitting that their time working together on the 1992 film Death Becomes Her wasn’t always smooth.  Speaking to Vanity Fair, Streep revealed her biggest frustration was Hawn’s tendency to arrive late to set, often driving herself in a red convertible.  While Streep prided herself on punctuality, she recalled being annoyed by Hawn’s carefree entrances, though she acknowledged that everyone else found her co-star “adorable.” Despite those minor clashes, Streep emphasized that she and Hawn shared a strong bond during and after filming.  The dark comedy, which explored themes of aging and mortality, saw the two actresses play rivals entangled in a love triangle with Bruce Willis’s character.  Over the years, Streep said they’ve laughed about the movie’s satirical take on Hollywood vanity, joking that it felt like a “documenta...

 Lagos Court Frees Dr Olaleye Over Defilement Of Minor Case


The Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos has acquitted and discharged the Medical Director of Optimal Cancer Care Foundation, Dr Olufemi Olaleye.


The court upturned the decision of the Lagos State Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court which had sentenced Dr Olaleye, to life imprisonment for defiling his wife’s 16-year-old niece.


Justice Olukayode Bada who read the lead judgment which was adopted by the two other justices on the panel held that the trial court erred in convicting Dr Olaleye based on “tainted” and ‘unreliable’ evidence of his estranged wife, Oluremi and the alleged survivor (names withheld).


The other members of the panel were Justice Mohammed Ibrahim Sirajo and Justice Folasade Ayodeji Ojo.


The appellate court said there were material contradictions in the evidence gathered by the prosecution which should not have been relied on by the lower court.


The court also faulted some other parts of the evidence of the prosecution during the trial, which was from a child forensic specialist, a medical doctor from the Mirabel centre and the investigating officer, which were found to be “worthless”


For the appellate court, the trial judge, Justice Rahman Oshodi also descended in the arena and interfered in the proceedings to bridge what it described as “the yawning gaps in the prosecution’s case”.


In the judgment, the court of appeal also queried why the prosecution failed to present material witnesses such as two family members who were said to have witnessed the appellants alleged confession.


The court added that a trial within trial ought to have been conducted during trial to verify the voluntariness of the appellant’s confessional statements while in police custody, especially as he said he made it under duress after he had been detained for six days.


The court of appeal determined all five issues of appeal against the prosecution and in favour of the appellant.
