The daughter of late Riverdale actor Luke Perry has hit back at people who have criticised her grieving process. Sophie Perry explained  on Instagram  how she's "received a lot of attention online" following her father's death. "Yes I am hurt and sad and crying and beside myself with what happened to my dad," she wrote. "But I'm not going to sit in my room and cry day in and day out until the internet has deemed it appropriate for me to do otherwise," she continued. "And if you knew my dad you would know he wouldn't want me to. So you shouldn't either." The US actor  died in California at the age of 52 , less than a week after suffering a massive stroke.

That change, which took effect on 1 April, should mean the US company starts paying millions of pounds more in tax in the UK. A spokesperson for Facebook said: "We are proud that in 2015 we have continued to grow our business in the UK and created over 300 new high skilled jobs. We pay all the taxes that we are required to under UK law." The figures were revealed in F...

The Oscar winner and his newly singl e, longtime best friend turned Mike Meldman's Casamigos Halloween Party into a guys' night out! Leo and a group of friends all wore jeans, flannel shirts, wolf masks and wolf glove, an eyewitness. Tobey, on the other hand, was dressed in regular clothes and some sort of green, monkey mask. Leo and Tobey, who recently separated from wife  Jennifer Meyer , didn't arrive together, but an onlooker says they literally ran to greet each other with a warm hug when they spotted each other at the fete. Tobey was a bit more subdued than Leonardo, who was reportedly the life of the party. The actor, still wearing his wolf mask, wa...
