Morgan Freeman among list of 963 Americans ‘permanently banned’ from entering Russia
Morgan Freeman is among 963 Americans who have been ‘permanently banned’ from entering Russia.The Shawshank Redemption actor, 84, joins a bumper list of celebrities who are forbidden to set foot in the country, including Mark Zuckerberg and the former first lady Hilary Clinton.The move comes in response to US sanctions imposed on the country for its invasion of Ukraine.Freeman was reportedly added to the list after appearing in a video clip in 2017 that accused the Russian government of meddling with American democracy.The Hollywood A-lister narrated the promotional video for an organisation named The Committee to Investigate Russia, according to CNN.The clip was directed by filmmaker Rob Reiner, best known for movies including The Princess Bride and When Harry Met Sally, and he has also been added to the Kremlin’s list.‘We emphasise that the hostile actions taken by Washington, which boomerang against the United States itself, will continue to receive a proper rebuff,’ Kremlin officials said.‘Russian counter-sanctions are forced and aimed at forcing the ruling American regime… to change its behaviour, recognising new geopolitical realities.’Democratic lawmaker Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was also listed, alongside the late US senator John McCain, who died in 2018.Russia previously banned US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris from entering the country.Secretary of State Antony Blinken, CIA chief William Burns, Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin, and national security adviser Jake Sullivan were also among the names.The updated list comes after reports that Vladimir Putin’s health has been deteriorating for the past five years.Independent Russian media outlet Proekt scrutinised the Russian President’s absences,

Tina Fey claims Kevin Spacey ‘hit on her’ at Saturday Night Live after-party
Tina Fey has opened up about the moment that Kevin Spacey ‘hit on her’ during a Q&A session.The 30 Rock actress was taking part in an ‘In Conversation’ event as part of the Netflix Is A Joke festival in LA over the weekend, and was joined by close pal Amy Poehler.In the segment, held at the YouTube Theater on Saturday, they picked audience questions from a bowl and had a chat through them.Diving right in, the first question posed to the pair was, ‘Who is the most random person to hit on you’.Parks and Recreation star Poehler joked that John McCain made a move, to which her co-host replied: ‘You’re sort of his type. An Arizona blonde.’Recalling her own bizarre experience, Fey continued: ‘This is the kind of weird thing that used to happen to me…‘One time when he was hosting SNL, at the after-party, it was late and Kevin Spacey tried to hit on me.‘I was like, “Who is this for? Who is this little performance for?” she asked.She did not go into further details on the incident, but Spacey hosted SNL twice – once in 1997 and for the second time in 2006.The former House of Cards actor was accused of sexual harassment and improper behavior by multiple men in 2017.Following the allegations, which he has refuted, he came out as gay in a lengthy statement in October of that year.He has kept a low profile since the claims emerged, but was pictured filming in Turin last June, for Italian film L’uomo che disegnò Dio (The Man who drew God).Elsewhere in the In Conversation session, Fey also reflected on the time she tried to set Poehler up with James Marsden at a drunken afterparty.‘You were newly single, and I knew he was newly single,’ she told her Mean Girls co-star in front of a packed audience.
