00:00Sylvie, I'm ready to forget the past for the success of this project.
00:06And I hope you'll see it again.
00:09Emily and Paris star Pierre Denis has died following a sudden illness.
00:13He was 69.
00:14We have details on his death and the future of the Netflix show in today's Page Six headlines.
00:19The French actor's daughter shared the news in a statement, writing,
00:23It is with deep emotion that we announce the passing of Pierre Denis,
00:26which occurred this Monday following a sudden and severe case of ALS.
00:31Denis played Louis de Leon, CEO of the fictional fashion giant JVMA,
00:36in the third and fourth seasons of Emily in Paris.
00:39Lily Collins, who plays the titular character,
00:42announced last week that the series is filming its sixth and final season.
00:46Also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, ALS is an incurable disease affecting the nervous system,
00:51the same ailment that took the life of Grey's Anatomy actor Eric Dane in February.
00:56Next, Gayle King revealed on Call Her Daddy that she butted heads with her longtime BFF,
01:01Oprah Winfrey, over rumors that they were secretly dating.
01:04Number one, if we were gay, we would tell you, because, believe me, there's nothing wrong with it.
01:09It's just, I prefer a man. I prefer a man.
01:13So, so we would tell you.
01:15And then I would say to her, you've got to say something on your show,
01:18because it's hard enough for me to get a date on a Saturday night.
01:22And now people think I'm a lesbian. You've got to say something.
01:25Winfrey demanded they leave the speculation alone.
01:28However, King felt differently, since she was recently divorced,
01:31while Winfrey had been in a relationship with Stedman Graham since 1986.
01:36King said the rumor started after her 1993 divorce from William G. Bumpus,
01:41with whom she shares two children, William Jr. and Kirby.
01:45Finally, John McClain, a co-executor of Michael Jackson's estate,
01:49died Tuesday at the age of 71. Page six can confirm.
01:53We're told the veteran music executive had major health issues and was sick for a long time.
01:59He died in Malibu, California, according to TMZ.
02:02McClain and entertainment attorney John Branca served as co-executors of the estate since July 2009,
02:08and a new co-executor is not expected to be appointed.
02:11Branca told Page six,
02:13I am profoundly grieved at the loss of my partner and brother, John McClain,
02:17one of the great innovators in the world of music and music marketing.
02:21John was a visionary, seeing past the mundane and into the future.
02:25Following the king of pop's death, the two turned hundreds of millions of dollars of debt
02:29into billions in revenue through a variety of projects,
02:32including music licensing and the recently released Michael biopic.
