From shock splits to lawsuits: Richard Wilkins recaps the year in celebrity news • Repithwin News

From Hollywood deaths that shocked the world to record-breaking concert tours and a superstar on the witness stand, it’s been a huge 12 months in celebrity news.

So we don’t forget any of the action as 2023 comes to a close, Nine’s Entertainment Editor Richard Wilkins is here to recap the year that was.

Watch the video above.

2023 has undoubtedly been the year of celeb split-aggedon, where we said goodbye to some of pop culture’s favourite couples and feared for the safety of others.

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness’ marriage has come to an end; we’ll no longer be seeing videos of Sophie Turner dancing along at a Jonas Brothers concert; and Taylor Swift won’t be writing any more ballads about former British beau Joe Alwyn.

Turns out love’s a tricky game, even in Tinsel Town.

Women have also been front and centre of 2023’s conversation.

Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig’s Barbie became a box office hit, while Taylor Swift and Beyonce played their part in proving the power and influence of women when their respective tours became two of the most successful the world has ever seen.

Sadly, we’ve also said goodbye to some beloved stars.

Lisa Marie Presley, Tina Turner, Matthew Perry, Sinead O’Connor, Jock Zonfrillo and Michael Parkinson are among the big names whose deaths left millions shocked.

This year really has been a wild ride in the world of the rich and famous.

As the year comes to a close, we’re all praying that Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds survive split-aggedon and enter 2024 as a couple (and every year after that).

We can look back at the year that was with some fond (and maybe not so fond) memories of all that went down in the celebrity world.
