Jude Law is currently promoting Firebrand, where he plays late-in-life Henry VIII. They cast a former pretty-boy to play the former pretty-boy king. Thankfully, Jude has aged better than Henry VIII although I still wince whenever I see Jude?s current hairline. Still, I understand why he has so many babies (seven at last count). Jude recently chatted about Firebrand, British royalty, Hollywood and the 1990s with the Times. Some highlights:
On Hollywood: ?Hollywood?s a hungry machine. Always looking for the new kid on the block. The attention cools off if your movies are not making a ton of money. There is a definite tier system as to who is offered what first, and if the work is not coming in as freely you have to consider what you want to do.?
On Firebrand. He thinks the film is about ?surviving domestic abuse? and Law speaks of Henry as ?a gangster ? a former golden boy who?s rotting?. And as he continues speaking of ?fear?, ?despicable behaviour?, ?physical ownership? and ?sheer brutality.?
The comparison to Harvey Weinstein: ?Yeah. Honestly, I never thought of him specifically ? I didn?t focus in on Harvey?s life and downfall. But I was very aware that Henry symbolises the downfall of many men who soared through life with great success and got drunk on power, abused it and fell. And so Harvey must have crossed my mind. That disregard ??
Whether he?s a royalist? ?I don?t know that I am. I?m intrigued by their history. But I?ve never been a great believer in treating someone a certain way because they are born under a title. And I don?t know that I want to bow down to anyone, personally.?
Why he does studio films: ?Indie films don?t pay, so sometimes you get a franchise and go, ?Fantastic, I can put that extension on my house.??
The ?90s revival: ?I?ve been thinking about that. We always talked about the phone being the downfall of that era, that way of living. But, that said, we were all 20 then and now we?re all 50. It was a good time to be 20. I?ve got such fond memories, I don?t know that I want to try and relive them.?
He?s enthusiastic: ?Enthusiasm doesn?t seem very palatable in the UK. But then I?ve always felt like I don?t really fit in.?
[From The Times]
?But I?ve never been a great believer in treating someone a certain way because they are born under a title. And I don?t know that I want to bow down to anyone, personally.? It honestly just struck me that Jude isn?t one of those British actors who play the game with the Windsors he?s not looking to socialize with the Windsors, he rarely attends events with them and he?s not cozying up to any charities or patronages associated with them. That?s interesting. He just does his own thing and moves around in Hollywood and British productions. He?s the quiet small-r republican. Good for him.

| | Neve Campbell confirms: she's getting paid properly to return to 'scream' franchise | | Added 277 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Last fall, Melissa Barrera was fired from the Scream franchise, and her friend and costar Jenna Ortega quit the franchise in solidarity with Melissa. The rebooted franchise was built around Melissa?s Sam Carpenter, a character who is the secret daughter of Billy Loomis (Skeet Ulrich). Skeet even returned to the franchise as Billy?s ghost, helping his daughter along the way. I?m seriously not a fan of the Scream reboot. I love the original franchise so much, and I accept that Gen Z wants their own thing, but the reboot was poorly done and it?s way too stabby (people are being stabbed in the gut a million times and still walking around??). They tried to bring back the legacy franchise characters, but Neve Campbell?s Sidney Prescott was written out of the last film (Scream VI) because producers didn?t want to pay Neve what she was worth. Well, now that the studio has fired Barrera and Ortega?s out the door the same studio went crawling back to Neve and begged her to save the franchise once again. Neve agreed. She recently spoke to Entertainment Tonight about what?s happening there:
Neve Campbell is ready to face off against Ghostface once again. While both Scream (2022) and Scream VI focused primarily on a newer generation of teens being stalked by the masked killer, Campbell revealed to ETs Rachel Smith that the seventh installment will take the franchise back to its roots and focus on Sidney Prescott, the central character of the first four films.
We are going to follow Sidney, Campbell confirmed, adding that the idea is in the same vein as Jamie Lee Curtis highly publicized return to the role of Laurie Strode in the Halloween franchise, 40 years after the original. They did pitch the concept to me, and it?s the reason that I jumped on board, Campbell added, after admitting she has not received a final script just yet but is hoping to receive it this week.
I love these movies, they are so much fun to be a part of, Im so grateful for them, I could never have imagined being a part of a movie that would have lasted this many decades, Campbell gleefully admitted.
The first Scream was released in theaters nearly 30 years ago in 1996. The fandom is nuts, they are incredible and very passionate about these films, she added. Im excited to give them a new one!
While Campbell returned for the legacy reboot Scream (2022), she was noticeably absent from Scream VI following a pay dispute. The actress spoke out publicly in 2022 that she would sadly not be returning because she felt the offer that was presented to me did not equate to the value I have brought to the franchise. In a rare move, the production studio behind the films, Spyglass Media Group, listened to Campbell and came back to her with a proper offer for this next sequel.
The Party of Five actress admitted it was so satisfying to be heard by the studio. Im super grateful that they came around on it. [Scream VI] just didnt feel right. I couldnt after this many decades of carrying a franchise, to feel undervalued and underpaid and to know that it wouldnt have happened to a man in that way. It just wouldnt make sense for me to walk on that set. So, Im glad I stood up for myself, Campbell said before adding she hopes it inspired others in the industry too.
[From ET]
I?m also really glad that producers came back and offered her real money for playing this iconic character. It was insulting that they thought they could do a Scream movie without her, and that?s what started the curse on the franchise. That being said, there?s no way Spyglass would have gone back to Neve with this offer if their gambit to build the franchise around Melissa hadn?t blown up in their faces. Going back to Neve was basically their only option. I kind of doubt they?ll recast the Sam Carpenter role, right? They might need to just reboot this mess all over again.
ET also says that Courteney Cox and Patrick Dempsey are in talks to return to the franchise. Dempsey?s character (a cop) is supposed to be married to Sidney, and Cox would be returning as Gale Weathers. I know his character died, but I?d love it if Liev Schreiber found a way to make a cameo.

Over the summer, Deadpool & Wolverine, starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, scored a massive, much-needed box office victory for Marvel. It broke records at the box office, too, becoming the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all-time, beating out The Passion of the Christ, and smashing Fifty Shades of Grey?s record for the most opening weekend ticket sales for an R-rated movie. On Tuesday, October 1, Deadpool & Wolverine came out digitally for streaming and it kept up that same energy from its theatrical release. In fact, it broke yet another record, this time becoming Fandango at Home?s ?best first-day seller? of 2024.
Just one day after the digital release of Deadpool & Wolverine on Tuesday, the Shawn Levy-directed film became the best first-day seller of 2024 for Fandangos streaming service Fandango at Home, the movie retail company announced in a press release.
It is no surprise that Deadpool & Wolverine continues to smash records across Fandango services well after its initial theatrical release in July, said Cameron Douglas, SVP of Home Entertainment at Fandango. We are thrilled to see so many fans rushing to relive the excitement that Deadpool & Wolverine gave us, in the comfort of their homes.
Upon its release in theaters, the film broke Fandangos record for most opening weekend ticket sales for an R-rated movie, surpassing 2015s Fifty Shades of Grey, as well as the record for the best opening weekend ticket sales of 2024.
Deadpool & Wolverine, which stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman as the title characters, earned $211 million at the domestic box office during its debut weekend, according to Disney, by far the largest opening ever for an R-rated movie. The record was previously held by the original Deadpool, which debuted at $132.4 million in 2016.
The big haul also represented the sixth-largest domestic opening weekend ever, putting the debut just ahead of Jurassic World and behind Star Wars: The Last Jedi, according to Box Office Mojo.
Worldwide, Deadpool & Wolverine grossed a whopping $1.3 billion during its theatrical run. The film earned a ??? rating from USA TODAY movie critic Brian Truitt, who called Deadpool & Wolverine a delightfully meta, proudly gonzo buddy-comedy team-up thats extremely violent, often hilarious, occasionally touching and always a good time.
[From USA Today]
I am not at all surprised at this news. Deadpool & Wolverine is a fun movie with so many cameos/characters that showed up, as well as what felt like four inside jokes per minute. That totally makes it a prime candidate for a rewatch or two or three. It also has a killer soundtrack. My husband and I wanted to see it in theaters for a second time but never got the chance to. It?s expensive on digital, though! It?s $30 to buy or $25 fo rent for 48-hours. We?ll probably wait a little while to see if prices come down or if it eventually streams on Disney+ for free. For those of you physical media fans, it will be available on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray on October 22. I hope there are extras that come along with both the digital and physical releases, because I bet those bloopers and deleted scenes are hilarious.

| | Jennifer Aniston on featuring rescue dogs on her Instagram: 'It's so hard, but it helps' | | Added 278 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Jennifer Aniston has always been a great dog momma and rescue advocate. Her first pup was Norman, whom she famously rescued after he had a bit part on Friends (the boy couldn?t act, but he could love!). Norman has sadly left us, as did Jen?s dog Dolly. But she still has in her pack Lord Chesterfield and Clyde. In 2021 Jen turned Clyde?s illustrated alter-ego Clydeo into a children?s book, and this month she just released a fourth in the series: Clydeo Takes a Bite Out of Life. She also just launched The Clydeo Fund, which aims to help out shelters that take care of our pups on their way to finding forever homes. Jen spoke with People Mag to tout both projects, and she talked about how she keeps posting dogs on her Instagram so they can be rescued, even if it?s tough to constantly be faced with their hopeful, longing mugs.
Jennifer Aniston had made it her mission to help rescue as many animals as possible.
Along with her new children?s book, Clydeo Takes a Bite Out of Life, and The Clydeo Fund, which supports animal shelters, the actress, producer, and entrepreneur, 55, also uses her Instagram account to share stories of rescue dogs in need.
?It?s so hard, but it helps; they get seen and rescued,? she tells PEOPLE. ?It?s almost impossible to keep up with it. But I?m constantly updated that so-and-so got rescued. So all I keep thinking is if one gets out, that?s all I care about.?
The Morning Show star and executive producer wrote her new picture book, illustrated by Bruno Jacob and inspired by one of her rescue dogs, Clyde, to help motivate kids to explore their interests. ?They?re so focused on these phones and just disappear into this void of scrolling,? she says. ?They don?t really spend time being stimulated by the world and figuring out what they want to do.?
First introduced as an animated dog on Aniston?s Instagram account in 2021, Clydeo now has a four-book children?s series. ?When they came to me with the idea, it was like, ?Obviously, I?ll make it about something that I fully love and adore, which is my rescue animals,?? she says.
The actress also wanted to ?create a fund where we can donate to these animals all over the world and inspire people to just throw in a dollar. It all adds up,? she says. ?We can get awareness out and help the shelters that are in desperate need.?
With every dollar donated, The Clydeo Fund will help organizations rescue, rehabilitate, and find forever homes for animals. ?We can help these animals, and we can get awareness out, and help the shelters that are in desperate need of upkeep because they?re falling apart,? explains the former Friends star. ?They can?t keep up. And all you see is that we?re euthanizing innocent, beautiful, perfectly, perfectly fine two-year-old dogs, or a puppy, or a litter. I can?t. It?s too much. It?s too many.?
[From People]
Oh, I feel you Jen! Seeing all those faces, you just want to scoop up and rescue all the floofs! Like Molly Shannon in Year of the Dog. While I usually side eye when yet another celebrity comes out with a childrens book, I have no problem making an exception here. I love that Jen is helping out the shelters ? they deserve all the funding and support we can give them! I just went through all this with My Guy, and the shelter that picked him up took such great care of him. He was three-years-old when he came to them and sick, un-chipped, and not neutered. After making sure he recovered from his illness, they got him microchipped, neutered, and up-to-date on all his vaccines. Maybe that?s pretty standard now, but it wasn?t when I rescued My Girl over a decade ago, so I greatly appreciated it! Here?s to Jen in her very best Doris Day Dog Advocate Era!

I still say that it was a bad idea for Zendaya to sign on to a brand ambassadorship with Louis Vuitton. She is THE fashionista of the moment and every atelier wants to dress her. The only positive thing I?ll say is that her LV contract must be non-exclusive, because it does not seem like she has to wear LV exclusively on every red carpet. LV wants Zendaya?s fashion clout though, they want her at every show, they want her to bring all of the cameras and attention. So here we are Zendaya attended the LV Spring show this week in Paris.
Vogue describes her look as ?reminiscent of the suiting silhouettes that dominated the 1980s, notably in cult-classic films like Working Girl.? How dare you, Vogue!! This is not Working Girl-inspired in the least. It IS ?80s inspired though, and I mean that in the most derogatory way possible. I?m not anti-bubble skirt, but the blazer is killing me.
Cate Blanchett also went to the LV show. Those pants are objectively hilarious. Cate?s bob is lethal these days.
Alicia Vikander is still a brand-ambassador for LV, I believe. The way they styled her should tell you everything you need to know about LV.
Chloe Moretz arguably got the best look. She?s giving Florence Pugh vibes here.

| | NY Post: Prince Harry 'not yet viewed as a statesman' or a celebrity philanthropist | | Added 281 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Last week, Vanity Fair did a lovely wrap-up piece about Prince Harry?s NYC trip: ?Prince Harry?s Transition From Working Royal to Global Advocate Is Now Complete.? I agree while Harry?s meetings and appearances weren?t huge stories, his trip showed that he?s booked and busy and he has a lot on his plate. VF had details about the meetings and events associated with Sentebale, African Parks, The HALo Trust, Travalyst, The Diana Award and more. VF also editorialized a bit which I enjoyed:
Harry?s CGI speech: When Harry took the stage at the Clinton Global Initiative on Tuesday morning, it was clear just how far he had come as a speaker and a public figure. He paced the stage, TED Talk?style, and used his personal cell phone as a visual aid. He began by discussing the Space Race, using it as an extended metaphor for the unforeseen effects that technology can have on our politics. Compared to the uplifting yet somewhat hesitant speeches he used to give five years ago, the prince was brimming with purpose when talking about Big Tech.
All business: In under 72 hours, he packed in at least seven events with a handful of his charities, some of which have counted him as a patron for more than a decade. He gave prepared remarks at most of the events, which meant he was switching gears from subjects ranging from youth empowerment to minefields and conflict to the climate impacts of travel to the ongoing HIV/AIDS crisis in Southern Africa at the drop of the hat.
Harry?s role is different: Where William and Charles have walked the line of representing British government interests while establishing themselves as global leaders in fighting climate change, Harry?s role outside of the palace means he?s coming as a representative of himself?and his ideas. His comments this week reveal a direct point of view now, formed both by his years in the royal family, the research he?s done, and the experiences he?s had outside of it.
Project-driven: Harry and Meghan have always been more project-driven than his Windsor family relatives, a quality which was previously met with skepticism and some disdain from the palace staff. ?You can say what you want about Meghan, but she works incredibly hard,? an insider told Vanity Fair?s Katie Nicholl in 2020, months after their royal exit. ?The problem is she and Harry have a tendency to hatch big projects over dinner and expect them to be actioned within days.? It?s now been four years since they started their Archewell Foundation, and in his whirlwind trip, Harry?s charity appearances made the implicit argument that he has a lot to show for his years outside of the palace.
[From Vanity Fair]
That last part ?Harry?s charity appearances made the implicit argument that he has a lot to show for his years outside of the palace? is exactly why there was so much energy towards ?Meghan is a bully? last week. The aim was distraction, the aim was to minimize Harry?s work. Speaking of, the NY Post ran this: ?Prince Harry debuted his reinvention in NYC, but it was ?hijacked? by ?Duchess Difficult? Meghan.? To hear the Post tell it, you?d think that United Nations diplomats are simply glued to Us Weekly for breaking royal news. This piece also told me that Harry?s brother is incandescent with jealousy over Harry?s busy trip.
The Post claims Meghan hijacked Harry?s newscycle: We were with the renegade royal as he toured the Big Apple; talking about his hopes for the future and making fun of his troubled past. He also revealed how important it is for him to follow in his mother, Princess Diana?s footsteps, which always pulls at the heartstrings. All in all, he proved yet again that he can be immensely likable and charming, when he wants to be. But even though she was back at the couple?s California mansion, Harry?s wife made her presence known. The Sussex camp enrolled a cast list of staffers past and present to hit back after claims were again made that Megan, the Duchess of Sussex is, in fact, ?Duchess Difficult?. One political insider in NY for the UN General Assembly (UNGA) told us, ?This totally hijacked any coverage Harry got?it was quite an own goal.?
Harry the wannabe statesman? Sources told Page Six that, despite everything, this is the direction Harry wants to take; he wants to be seen as a statesman and philanthropist. However, the political insider told Page Six he has some way to go before he can claim the kind of impact made by Hollywood stars such as Matt Damon and Jennifer Garner, with her kids charity ?Once Upon a Farm?. Sophia Bush also spoke at the Clinton event. She?s a well known humanitarian and launched her charity, ?Pencils of Promise?, a 2008-founded nonprofit that has built more than 550 schools, largely in Ghana, Guatemala and Laos. The insider said, ?Harry has got a long way to go to be remotely on the same level as Matt Damon. He?s not yet viewed as a statesman ? or as a celebrity who has really made a huge philanthropic impact. He?s not like Jennifer Garner [or] Sophia Bush ? those are real social impact activists.?
Stay out of the tabloids, Harry! ?You?ll have to watch this space to see how far Harry can go,? said another political source who has worked with President Barack Obama, ?If he can get his personal issues out of the tabloids, he might well achieve some big things.?
[From Page Six]
I?m sorry, but why is ?He?s not like Jennifer Garner [or] Sophia Bush ? those are real social impact activists? so funny to me? I mean zero disrespect to Sophia or J-Garn, they?re doing their own work and it?s all completely admirable. But to use their names to disparage Harry, the founder of the Invictus Games? You?re telling me Sophia Bush is a more globally recognized activist and advocate than Prince Harry? The sources/insiders claiming this are not serious people. Anyway, in case you missed it, the people who have spent years smearing Meghan and now really mad that she?s fought back at long last.

Here are photos of Angelina Jolie at the New York Film Festival premiere of Maria, the Pablo Larrain film where she plays Maria Callas. Angelina arrived with her three oldest kids (all of them adults): Maddox, Zahara and Pax. It?s great to see Pax out and about he recently crashed his motorbike in LA traffic and was hospitalized for several days with ?complex trauma.? It looks like there are faint scars on his face, and his wrist is still in a brace. Zahara must have flown up to New York from Spelman College in Atlanta. I don?t know if Maddox has finished college yet. I love that they all came out to support their mom. As a survivor of the Brangeloonie Wars, I remember so many anti-Jolie people predicting that her kids would grow up to hate her. Looks like the kids have grown up to be well-adjusted and thoughtful, and they adore their mom.
I don?t see an ID on Angelina Jolie?s dress it looks vintage-y to me, but it might be something custom-made from Atelier Jolie, you never know. People are saying that Zahara is wearing one of Angelina?s old dresses, which is possible. Zahara and Shiloh have both done the same thing for other red carpets. I think those are Angelina?s two fashionista daughters, while Vivienne is all about normcore and little-old-lady dressing. Maddox and Pax were both suited up and both of them looked really nice. After the premiere, I think Angelina hosted a party at Atelier Jolie. She did the same after the Tonys too.
Last week, Angelina reportedly ?dropped? her FOIA request into the FBI records of the 2016 plane incident. As many of you pointed out in yesterday?s comments, it?s more than likely that Angelina ?dropped? the request because she got what she needed from the FBI, and/or she got enough documentation to use in her divorce case AND her countersuit against Brad over Miraval.

In April 2022, Politico and TMZ reported that Angelina Jolie had filed (as a Jane Doe) for the FBI?s records on their investigation into the 2016 plane incident. The 2016 incident was the game-changer for Angelina. That was where a likely blackout-drunk Brad Pitt terrorized and assaulted Angelina and their children for hours on and off the plane. In 2022, Angelina was technically getting a Freedom of Information Act request, but really, she was trying to piece together what exactly happened with the FBI investigation and why the FBI didn?t file any charges against Pitt. Angelina did manage to get her hands on some of the partially-redacted records, including the FBI?s records of Jolie?s own statements to them about what Brad did to her and the children. Many of those records were then FOIA-requested by media outlets who then published their own coverage, much to Team Pitt?s chagrin. Well, long story short, after two years of trying to figure out why the FBI didn?t charge Pitt with any crime, Jolie is now dropping it.
Angelina Jolie is ending her legal battle against the Department of Justice and FBI over documents connected to the alleged 2016 plane incident involving her then-husband Brad Pitt.
Under the anonymous Jane Doe,? Jolie, 49, had requested in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in 2021 that FBI documents about the incident be released to her. Court documents obtained by PEOPLE indicate the Maria star dropped the case on Wednesday, Sept. 25.
The highly redacted documents Jolie had been pursuing detailed an allegedly drunken altercation on Sept. 14, 2016, between Pitt, 60, and his then-wife ? which came days before Jolie filed for divorce, ending a relationship that began in 2005.
Their children were reportedly present for the alleged conflict on a private plane that had caused the Los Angeles Department of Child and Family Services and FBI to investigate Pitt. A source said at the time that Pitt became verbally abusive and physical with one of their kids, which he denied. Later in 2016, the FBI closed its investigation with no charges against Pitt and DCFS also concluded its investigation, concluding no findings of abuse.
Amid the ongoing legal battle over their French vineyard Chteau Miraval and wine company, Jolie responded to a 2022 lawsuit from her ex with details of the alleged incident, including that Pitt had choked one of the children and struck another in the face. A source close to Pitt told PEOPLE at the time, Its incredibly sad that she continues to rehash, revise and reimagine her description of an event that happened 6 years ago, adding in completely untrue information.?

I don?t know why she dropped this, other than she was tired of being stonewalled by the FBI and she likely achieved some of her goals anyway. It?s also worth noting that back in 2022, Jolie/Jane Doe?s lawyer told Politico that Jolie had been trying to get the FBI records for years without having to file a FOIA action, and the FBI stonewalled her that entire time too. It feels like Angelina has her suspicions that something went down between the FBI and Pitt and both parties are doing the most to cover it up.

For many years, Naomi Campbell organized Fashion for Relief, a charity fashion show attached to London Fashion Week. There hasn?t been a Fashion for Relief event in years since 2019, from what I can see. Fashion for Relief supposedly raised money to support charities working in Africa. Well, Britain?s Charity Commission did some digging and they discovered that nothing was as it seemed. Now Naomi Campbell has been banned from ?being a charity trustee? for five years, following the Charity Commissions investigation.
Naomi Campbell has been banned from being a charity trustee after a watchdog investigation uncovered widespread evidence of financial misconduct at the poverty relief charity she founded. The supermodel was disqualified for five years after a Charity Commission inquiry found that Fashion for Relief passed on only a small fraction of the millions of pounds it raised from star-studded celebrity fashion events to good causes.
The charity inappropriately spent tens of thousands of pounds on luxury hotel rooms, flights, spa treatments, personal security and cigarettes for Campbell, while unauthorised consultancy payments running into hundreds of thousands of pounds were made to one of Campbell?s fellow trustees, the commission said.
It found that over a five-year period from 2016, Fashion for Relief raised just under 4.8m from a series of fashion shows but paid out only 389,000 in grants to partner charities once the cost of events and other expenses were accounted for.
Nearly 350,000 was later recovered from the charity by interim managers appointed by the commission and paid to the charities Save the Children and the Mayor?s Fund for London, which reported Fashion for Relief to the regulators four years ago after failing to receive promised payments from fundraising agreements..
Campbell?s fellow trustee Bianka Hellmich, who the inquiry found received 290,000 in unauthorised consultancy fees and 26,000 a year in travel expenses from the charity over a two-year period, was disqualified from being a charity trustee for nine years. Hellmich proposed to the commission to repay the fees and expenses in February 2022 and a repayment plan was agreed with the commission. The full amount was repaid in April 2023. A third trustee, Veronica Chou, was banned for four years.
Fashion for Relief has previously argued that it was not solely a fundraising charity but also a platform that, through its high-profile fundraising events, encouraged donors to give directly to its partner charities and good causes. The commission report, however, reveals that it did not immediately pay Save the Children ?450,000 (375,000) raised at a 2017 fundraising event. Fashion for Relief paid some of the funds, and the remaining money it owed ? 147,000 ? was eventually paid by Fashion for Relief?s interim managers in January 2023.

The commission?s investigation also had details like Naomi using Fashion for Relief funds to stay at a ??3,000-a-night hotel room? in Cannes. She also used the charity?s funds for ?just under ?8,000 on spa treatments, room service, purchases of cigarettes and hotel products.? Sounds like she was using her charity as her own personal piggy bank. 4.8 million raised from Fashion for Relief events and only 389,000 in charitable grants? And Naomi was only suspended for five years? She should have been given a lifetime ban for this insane grift.

For several years now, George and Amal Clooney have been throwing a party ?for justice? in New York. They call the party the Albie Awards, and it?s supposed to be a fundraiser/awards something or other associated with the Clooney Foundation for Justice. Last night was the annual awards show. Amal wore a slinky black gown by Versace (Donatella attended) and she had a fresh blowout. They both spoke to People Magazine about their marriage today is their tenth wedding anniversary, and while there are persistent rumors about the state of their marriage, they put on a big show last night.
George told People: ?I would support anything my wife is involved in. She?s always on the right side of history, and I?m always so proud to be in the same room with her no matter what and this is an event where we get to focus all the attention on the people who don?t get enough attention.?
Amal adds, ?He?s an amazing advocate, and it just means so much to me to be able to do this work together and for him to help bring to life some of the stories that we?re telling tonight.?
Responding to the sweet comments from his wife, the actor jokingly tells PEOPLE, ?I?m giving her money right now, you can?t see, right behind her back.?
The couple, whose 10th wedding anniversary is on Friday, Sept. 27, also shared their plans.
?I?m taking her somewhere tonight, but she doesn?t know where,? George tells PEOPLE.

Ah, jokes about paying his wife, how charming. Obviously, I?m still not over George?s skullduggery in recent months, starting with his NYT op-ed which, much like George, has aged like milk. He?s still being asked about it too in Venice, he said that no one will remember what he did. Meanwhile, his sad little bro-movie with a credibly accused child abuser comes out today on streaming, after Apple pulled it from a wide theatrical release. Perhaps now would be the time for George to pass the torch to someone younger. We can have a mini-primary to find a replacement movie star who is younger and cooler.
Celebrity guests at the Albies event included: Leslie Bibb, Jimmy Fallon, Emily Blunt, Cate Blanchett, John Krasinski, Donatella Versace, Mark Ronson, John Oliver, Melinda Gates, Busy Philipps, Ariana Debose, Shailene Woodley and more.
