34-year-old actor Elliot Page is “really excited” about acting after coming out as transgender. Page said in the March 29 issue of Time magazine that he feels “fully who I am” after coming out as transgender in December. In the interview, Page said he’s had top surgery since his coming out, adding that the surgery has “completely transformed” his life, calling it “not only life-changing but lifesaving.” 

Page rose to fame after his role in the 2007 film Juno. He recalled how used to struggle with his image that came with fame, saying, “I just never recognized myself. For a long time I could not even look at a photo of myself.” Page said his top surgery restored the energy he used to spend on feeling uncomfortable in his body, saying,  “I’m really excited to act, now that I’m fully who I am, in this body. No matter the challenges and difficult moments of this, nothing amounts to getting to feel how I feel now.”

Page will continue to play Vanya Hargreeves, a cisgender woman, on the Netflix series The Umbrella Academy. The series has started production on its third season.

CBS’s The Talk is going on hiatus following co-host Sharon Osbourne’s defense of Piers Morgan during last Wednesday’s episode of the show. Osbourne, 68, defended her friend Morgan following backlash for his controversial remarks questioning the validity of Meghan Markle’s comments during her recent interview with Oprah Winfrey.  Osbourne’s defense of Morgan led to an intense exchange with co-host Sheryl Underwood, 57, who pushed back on Osbourne’s downplaying of Morgan’s comments. Osbourne apologized days later for her remarks on air.  CBS confirmed that The Talk would be taking a brief hiatus while the network conducts an internal investigation into the argument.

Morgan, 55, faced widespread criticism for comments he made about the Duchess of Sussex on Good Morning Britain, and after his co-host Alex Beresford called him out on-air, Morgan stormed off set. It was later announced that Morgan would be leaving the ITV morning news show. Osbourne defended Morgan on Twitter, writing at the time, “I am with you. I stand by you.” After her initial show of support for Morgan on Twitter, Osbourne said that she had been accused of being racist during Wednesday’s episode of The Talk. Underwood pushed back, asking: “What would you say to people who may feel that while you’re standing by your friend, it appears you gave validation or safe haven to something that he has uttered that is racist, even if you don’t agree?” Early on Friday morning, Osbourne shared a statement on Twitter apologizing for any harm she may have caused in supporting Morgan.

The Talk airs live at 2 p.m. ET on weekdays, also features co-hosts Carrie Ann Inaba, Amanda Kloots and Elaine Welteroth.

The New England have signed pass rusher Matt Judon to a four-year deal worth $56 million with $32 million guaranteed. The move comes shortly after New England was making a major push for the forner-Ravens linebacker.  Judon had 50 tackles in his 14 games played in 2020. He also had six sacks and was named to his second Pro Bowl in a row. 

The 28-year-old Judon is the latest addition by New England in free agency to hopefully bounce back from a disappointing 7–9 season.  On Monday, the Patriots also signed former Titans tight end Jonnu Smith and former Dolphins nose tackle Davon Godchaux.
