Tony Ortega wrote Monday the actress was celebrated for donating this “cumulative” amount to the International Association of Scientologists (IAS), the church’s membership organization.Back in 2019, Cartwright achieved “Diamond Laureate With Honors” status, reflecting that she’d given Scientology about $17.5 million, Ortega said.This new issue of Impact reported that on New Year’s Eve, she received a trophy for reaching “Patron Excalibur With Honors,” suggesting she’s now donated about $21 million in donations to the IAS.Cartwright is also believed to have given a fortune towards the construction of the San Fernando Valley Ideal Org, which opened in 2017.She has been public about being a Scientologist, lobbying state legislators in Illinois in 2011 to allow a children’s version of “The Way to Happiness,” a key text by its founder L.

James Corden Prepares To Leave ‘The Late Late Show’ & The “Incredible Institution” Of Late-Night With A Bang
26.04.2023 - 22:19 / deadline.com
James Corden is leaving The Late Late Show much like he entered: with a bang.
Corden kicked off his first show on March 23, 2015 with a coup. He managed to persuade Tom Hanks to perform his entire filmography in an episode that also featured appearances from Arnold Schwarzenegger, Billy Crystal, Chris Rock and Meryl Streep.
Having spent the last eight years driving and singing with A-listers such as Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder and Michelle Obama, passing Penny Lane with Paul McCartney and jumping out of a plane with Tom Cruise, he’s closing his show on Thursday April 27 with guests including Harry Styles and Will Ferrell as well as a musical performance with Tom Cruise during The Lion King at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood.
“The nature of our show is we really want to go out with a bang,” he tells Deadline. “We want to go out in the same manner that we came in. It’s like my theory about on-set catering; people only really remember the first and last day’s food. That might apply to talk shows as well.”
Deadline revealed in April 2022 that Corden was preparing to say goodbye to his show, and late-night in general. While this invariably gave him and his team, including exec producers Rob Crabbe and Ben Winston, time to plan such an exit, it also meant that the 150-odd people that worked on the show would have time to plan ahead. “We’ve worked here for eight years and I’d say that almost 90% of the team that were here on day one are still here today,” he said.
Winston added, “That goes a lot towards people’s love for this place. What we’ve done for James, for the show, and the family unit that we’ve all created over these past eight years, it’s really remarkable, it’s been a crazy time.”
