Published

Jill Freud, a British actress who provided C.S. Lewis with the inspiration for Lucy Pevensie in "The Chronicles of Narnia," has died.

Jill's daughter Emma Curtis announced her death Monday, posting ... “My beautiful 98-year-old mum has taken her final bow. After a loving evening -- where we knew she was on her way -- surrounded by children, grandchildren and pizza, she told us all to f*** off so she could go to sleep. And then she never woke up. Her final words were ‘I love you.’”

Born June Flewett, Jill moved in with C.S. Lewis and his companion, Jane Moore, when she was just 16 after evacuating London to escape The Blitz bombing by Nazi Germany. She stayed with them at their country house as a housekeeper, and eventually Lewis based the youngest Pevensie kid, Lucy, on her.

Carnival Cruise Death Anna Kepner's Grandparents Stand By Stepbrother

Published | Updated

Anna Kepner’s grandparents are shutting down any talk she was scared of her stepbrother -- the teen reportedly under investigation in her cruise-ship death -- making it clear they have faith in his innocence.

In an ABC News sit-down interview, Barbara and Jeffrey Kepner said 18-year-old Anna and her 16-year-old stepbrother were "two peas in a pod," and cared for each other "in the right way" -- a far cry from what Joshua Tew, Anna’s first love, claimed ... saying her other brother told him about a nasty blowout the pair allegedly had inside the cabin they were all sharing.

The grandparents say authorities told them the stepbrother is considered a suspect in the case. They admit they’ve got no clue what actually went down inside that cabin -- they’re waiting on answers just like everyone else -- but pointing the finger at the stepbrother? They’re nowhere near ready to go there.

Ice-T is cooling folks off about the chatter over his lighter "Law & Order: SVU" screentime ... telling us straight up, it’s not drama -- it’s the budget.

TMZ caught up with Ice as he and wife Coco -- who celebrated daughter Chanel’s 10th birthday at New Jersey’s American Dream Mall on Saturday -- and he told us SVU bosses basically had to pick who got the bigger budget ... his Sgt. Odafin “Fin” Tutuola, or Kelli Giddish, AKA Detective Amanda Rollins.

While we might feel a little offended on his behalf that they didn't choose him, Ice says it’s all good ... the cutback means more family time, more side projects -- and he even dropped some inspo: "Give me free time, I find free dime."

Catch the full clip ... 'cause he also makes it clear SVU’s been good to him for 20-plus years -- so you won’t hear him bad-mouthing the squad anytime soon!

D4vd House D4vd Rented Had Freezer ... Cops Focus on Storage of Celeste Rivas's Body

Published | Updated

Singer D4vd -- a suspect in the presumed homicide of Celeste Rivas -- had a freezer large enough to store a body -- a relevant fact since her body had apparently been frozen for months.

Check out this photo of D4vd's rental home -- it was taken a few years ago, and it shows the kitchen had a KitchenAid refrigerator/freezer. The freezer side of the appliance has a height of around 74 inches, a width of around 14 inches, and a depth of roughly 27 inches. The temperature can get as low as minus 8 degrees Fahrenheit.

Celeste was 5'3" and 120 lbs. TMZ broke the story, her body was found in a bag in D4vd's Tesla -- it was decapitated and the arms and limbs cut off, so it could have fit in the freezer if the shelving inside had been removed. BTW ... a torso for a 5'3" woman falls between 15 and 17 inches long, and 14 to 15 inches wide.
