9-1-1 star Oliver Stark and Baby Reindeer’s Nava Mau are set to star in darkly comic film The Long Con.
The short film was written by trans Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe
Stark plays firefighter Evan (Buck) Buckley in popular ABC drama 9-1-1, one half of the “buddie” ship, alongside Eddie (Ryan Guzman). He has said he’d be open to exploring a relationship between the pair if it’s “the right story to tell”.
Fans have long campaigned for the show to make clear that Buck is bisexual.
Buck has been on a journey since coming out in season seven and shared an unexpected kiss with former firefighter and air operations pilot Tommy (Lou Ferrigno Jr).
Mau found fame in Netflix’s dark comedy-thriller Baby Reindeer. She earned an Emmy nomination for her performance as trans therapist Teri, and became the first out trans performer to be nominated for a TV BAFTA.
She has previously told PinkNews that she hoped to be cast in a Star Wars project. Abigail Thorn became the first trans actress to star in the sci-fi stories, by appearing in
Mau is also one of the stars of Connor Martin’s directorial debut, The Dregs
Vanderpump Empire Shaken as Ken Todd Sued for $80K Unpaid Rent!
The glittering world of Lisa Vanderpump and Ken Todd has just been hit with a brutal reality check. A stunning legal assault has been launched against Ken, accusing him of owing $80,000 in unpaid rent for their once-iconic restaurant, Villa Blanca, and directly challenging the carefully crafted story Lisa told the world about its closure.
THE LANDLORDS' REVENGE: "FAILED AND REFUSED TO PAY"
According to explosive court documents, the landlords are painting a picture not of a mutual, pandemic-forced closure, but of a tenant who simply stopped paying. The lawsuit alleges that Ken and his company "failed and refused to make all the payments of rent due under the lease."
The most damning claim? The landlords state that Ken's attempt to terminate the lease was an illegal move and that the lease remains active. They are now demanding not just the $80,000 in back rent, but another $80,000 in damages, bringing the total to a staggering $160,000.
LISA'S 'FALSE NARRATIVE'? INSIDE THE FINANCIAL 'NIGHTMARE'
This legal bombshell directly contradicts the narrative Lisa Vanderpump herself spun just months ago. She publicly blamed the landlord's unwillingness to "renegotiate" during the pandemic as the sole reason for the closure. But these court documents suggest a different, more damaging story.
This lawsuit comes on the heels of Lisa's own shocking admissions of financial hardship. She previously described the past year as a "nightmare," admitting that "five months of paying rent and insurance, and having no business is taxing."
An insider source commented on the discrepancy: "Lisa tried to control the narrative by blaming the landlord, making it seem like a noble exit. But these legal documents suggest a different story: that they simply stopped paying. It's a PR crisis in the making, because it makes her previous statements look like a calculated lie."
THE CONCLUSION
Two stories have now emerged. One is of a powerful couple victimized by a greedy landlord and a global pandemic. The other is of tenants who allegedly breached a contract and are now facing the legal consequences. The Vanderpump empire was built on an image of untouchable glamour and business savvy. With this lawsuit, a major crac
