 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...

COURT ASKED TO EXTEND SENTENCE OF NICHOLAS PROSPER. (PHOTO).


 Court asked to extend sentence of Nicholas Prosper


The Court of Appeal has been asked to review the sentence of a teenager who killed three members of his family and planned a school shooting.


Nicholas Prosper, 19, has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 49 years for murdering his mother, brother and sister in Luton last year.


The bodies of Juliana Falcon, 48, Kyle Prosper, 16, and Giselle Prosper, 13, were found at their home in the Leabank Court tower block in September.


The government’s solicitor general has referred the case to appeal after multiple referrals including one from a Conservative MP who argued that Prosper should have received a whole life order instead, which would mean he would never be released from jail.


The Attorney General’s Office had received requests to reconsider Prosper’s sentence under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme.


In March, the Conservative shadow justice minister Kieran Mullan questioned why a whole life order was not imposed in a post on X and said he referred the case to the scheme.


An attorney general office’s spokesperson said: “I can confirm that the solicitor general has referred Nicholas Prosper’s sentence to the Court of Appeal.


“It will be argued that Prosper ought to have been given a whole life order. It is now for the court to decide whether to increase the sentence.”


Whole life orders are considered the harshest penalty available to courts since capital punishment was abolished.


The sentence can be considered in exceptional cases such as those where two or more people have been killed with a significant degree of pre-meditation, or where one child is killed with similar pre-planning.


Previously, an adult under the age of 21 could not be given a whole life order but this changed in 2022.


Offenders aged between 18 and 20 can now receive one when the seriousness of their crimes are “exceptionally high” even when compared to similar offences committed by those 21 and over.


If given a whole life order Prosper would become the youngest person to receive one.


Prosper used a shotgun and a knife in the attack that took place in his home on 13 September.
