It?s been three years since Brendan Fraser launched his big comeback with The Whale. I had to double check the year he won the Best Actor Oscar (2023) because it truly feels like it?s been so much longer than that. That was also the year Ke Huy Quan won Best Supporting Actor for the spectacular Everything Everywhere All At Once. It was a big night for beloved actors and nostalgia.
Since then, Brendan has been busy with new projects, including the recently-announced The Mummy 4, which is in pre-production. His new movie, Rental Family, is out in theaters now. It?s a dramedy about an underemployed American actor in Japan who ends up working as a hired ?stand-in? for strangers when they need someone to play a family member or a friend. During an interview with the AP, Brendan admitted that he

One of my favorite celebrity things is when a woman hasn?t publicly announced her engagement, but she steps onto a red carpet and she?s doing the most to show off her ring finger and get her new ring into all of her photos. So it was with Miley Cyrus! Miley attended the LA premiere of Avatar: Fire and Ash on Monday night. She walked the carpet with Maxx Morando, her boyfriend of four years. Miley was making sure every photographer got shots of her left hand. Then, the next day, unnamed sources confirmed the obvious: Miley and Maxx are engaged.
Miley Cyrus will soon be in her wedding Flowers era. The singer, 33, is engaged to musician Maxx Morando, a source confirms to PEOPLE.
A rep for Cyrus did not immediately respond to PEOPLEs request for comment. Page Six was the first to report the news.
The couples engagement comes after Cyrus stepped out to the Avatar: Fire and Ash world premiere in Los Angeles on Monday, Dec. 1, sporting a diamond ring on her left-hand ring finger. She flashed the glitzy jewelry as she and Morando, 27, posed for photos together on the red carpet. Cyrus was first spotted wearing the ring around mid-November, according to Deux Moi. It was visible in photos from her birthday dinner late in the month.
Francesca Simons, a rep for jewelry designer Jacquie Aiche, confirmed to PEOPLE that Aiche made the bespoke ring, which features a cushion-cut stone set on a thick, 14-karat yellow gold band.
The three-time Grammy winner and the drummer were first romantically linked in December 2021, when they were photographed getting close backstage during Cyrus NBC holiday special, Mileys New Years Eve Party, in Miami. Months later, in April 2022, they seemingly confirmed their romance when they were spotted passionately kissing while out in West Hollywood.

I didn?t realize that they?ve been together for four years already. While Miley has bouts of ?doing too much,? she has calmed down in her 30s, and I think her first marriage and divorce to Liam Hemsworth made her gun-shy about putting her relationships out there to a certain degree. Miley spoke to People Mag on Monday night, saying: ?The detail that I can share is that for us, our privacy and us kind of keeping it small has been something that Ive been astounded that Ive actually been able to have and being able to kind of have more choice. I think its also being older, being more protective of what Im open to sharing.? Basically, she?s learned that she doesn?t need or want to put everything out there this time around. She?s grown up a lot! (Hopefully.) Congrats to them!
As for the ring, it?s unconventional but cute a jewelry expert says it?s a 4 to 5 carat cushion-cut diamond set in a thick yellow-gold band. The thickness of the band makes it look more like a fashion ring than an engagement ring, but it also looks like Maxx understands Miley?s taste.

| | Jodie Foster on acting: It's a cruel job that was chosen for me as a young person | | Added 150 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

The Marrakech Film Festival began last Friday, and Jodie Foster is there in support of her latest film A Private Life, a French comedy-thriller she screened earlier this year in Cannes. But that?s only her second reason to attend, as the festival honored Jodie with a tribute award on Sunday, where she also sat down for an in-depth career retrospective. At 63, Jodie has been candid lately about being in her ?I don?t care? era, in the best way possible ? as in no longer inhibited by limiting ideas or outside opinions. This liberated attitude made for honest and loose comments from Jodie. For instance: filming Taxi Driver as a tweenager, she found Robert De Niro ?not the most interesting person on earth.? Jodie was also quite frank that she doesn?t think she?d have ever become an actor if her mother hadn?t thrown her into it as a child. Some highlights:
Premiering Taxi Driver at Cannes as a 13-year-old: ?Nobody wanted to bring me because they didn?t want to spend money on me.? However, her mother ? who was also her manager and enrolled her at a French school in Los Angeles ? pushed for her to go. ?My mom said, ?No, it?s really important. She speaks French. This is Cannes!?? Foster said. ?And so we paid for our own flights.? Foster had a laugh remembering that De Niro, Harvey Keitel and Scorsese ?were really paranoid? because there was some buzz around the Croisette around the film being too violent and perhaps needing an X rating. ?We all did the press conference together, but then after the press conference, they all got too scared, and they wouldn?t leave their rooms at the Hotel du Cap,? Foster said. ?So I ended up doing all the interviews in French for the entire team of ?Taxi Driver?!?
She wouldn?t have chosen acting herself: ?I would never have chosen to be an actor, I don?t have the personality of an actor. I?m not somebody that wants to dance on a table and, you know, sing songs for people,? she said. ?It?s actually just a cruel job that was chosen for me as a young person that I don?t remember starting. So right there, it makes my work a little bit different because I am not interested in acting just for the sake of acting. If I was on a desert island, I think probably the last thing I would ever do is act. So I was just trying to survive.?
The last four films she made were directed by women: ?I mean, really up until 15 years ago, when you look at the list for mainstream movies and you go down the director?s list, I never saw a female name,? she said, before highlighting the glass ceiling that female directors face when they?re courting bigger-budget movies. ?If you?re making a movie that has a certain risk attached to it ? they would say, ?Wow, there?s no woman that?s directed a movie that cost $12 million,?? she pointed out. She said ?the idea was not to give women these huge mega movies if they had not had any experience. How about giving women the experience first??
Killers of the Flower Moon should have been a limited series: ?What we had was a very interesting movie about two guys who go back and forth and they talk to each other. I think everybody was excited that the Native story was going to be told. And what they found was like, ?Wow, all the Native women are dead,?? she continued. ?What they said was, ?Well, it?s a feature, we didn?t have time!? But there was time. There was an eight-hour limited series that was not made, that could have been made, where if you really needed to explore all of that male toxic masculinity, you could have done that, but you could have had Episode 2 actually center the Native story.?
[From Variety]
I?d actually call that a fair assessment of (just some of) the mistakes Scorsese made in adapting KOTFM. Jodie?s thoughts on not being an actorly type were similarly pretty blunt, though I think it?s a misconception that all actors are extroverts. (Michelle Williams, anyone? Merritt Wever? Cillian Murphy?) And in reading more of what she said at this event, it?s clear that Jodie is excited by her own profession. Otherwise, continuing with it her whole life would have been an extended exercise in torture, non? (Or perhaps nothing seems tortuous after a lion picks you up in his mouth on set as a kid?) But even back to the conversation about working with De Niro at 12, Jodie shared that he introduced her to improvisation and it blew her mind at the time: ?I remember being kind of sweaty and excited and giggly and coming back up into the hotel room to meet my mom and say, ?I?ve had this epiphany.?? And speaking of Taxi Driver, I simply ADORE her anecdote of handling all the Cannes press while the male adults cowered in their hotel rooms ? in French no less. Vas-y ma belle!

The Trump administration psychos keep making these really screwed-up videos in an attempt to hype their fascism. They use AI in weird ways and there are also a bunch of neo-Nazis in the social media departments strewn about the administration. Well, the White House?s official account posted what I can only describe as a Gestapo fan-cam. It was a poorly-edited video of DHS agents arresting/detaining immigrants and/or critics. The White House used a Sabrina Carpenter song over the video, and Sabrina responded, commenting directly to the White House?s account, writing ?this video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.?

The Gotham Awards were held last night in New York, and there was a great turnout. People are ready for this awards season, myself included. It feels like a weird year and I?m looking forward to seeing these early awards shows begin to cull down the lists and highlight which actors and films are the frontrunners. It definitely looks like Paul Thomas Anderson?s One Battle After Another is the front-runner (right now) for the big awards, Best Picture and Best Director. PTA won the Gotham Award for picture, but he lost the directing award to Jafar Panahi (who won several other awards). You can see the full winners list here.
Fashion notes from the Gotham Awards: Rihanna?s bulky Balenciaga is not getting high marks, but I laughed out loud at her hilarious Pink feathered cloche hat. Teyana Taylor wore Chanel, and she continues to be one of the best-dressed women of the year. Hilaria Baldwin and Alec Baldwin were in attendance, and Hilaria had her new bolt-ons jacked to high heaven. Chase Infiniti (star of OBAA) wore Louis Vuitton (I don?t care for that dress, but I?m looking forward to seeing more of her). Elle Fanning was one of the best-dressed women in Ralph Lauren she is absolutely killing it this year. Tessa Thompson also looked amazing.
I?m also adding a pic of Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster. They?ve been attending more events together, slowly rolling out their relationship while still trying to maintain Hugh?s appeal among middle America. Is it working? I winced when I saw these pics. Poor Deb.

| | Scarlett Johansson on supporting Woody Allen: 'It's important to have integrity' | | Added 151 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |
|

|
|

Scarlett Johansson is not covered in teflon, but she has an uncanny knack for giving terrible interviews, saying wildly offensive things and just moving on like nothing happened. And almost everyone moves on too. Is it some kind of hot-woman privilege or is it specific to ScarJo? Well, Scarlett is currently promoting her directorial debut, Eleanor the Great. Scarlett directed June Squibb in the lead, for a movie about a woman who pretends to have survived the Holocaust so she can make friends in a New York-based support group. The Telegraph spoke to Scarlett about the script, how the project almost fell apart and how she still supports Woody Allen.
She lost a major backer a month before filming: One of Johansson?s financial backers got in touch with a stipulation regarding the script. The gist of it? Love the film, Scarlett, but we?re not so keen on the whole Holocaust thing. Can we have the character lie about something else? The demand came ?after months of preparatory work?, Johansson recalls, despairingly. ?I mean, if they?d said ?I?ll only back this if you shoot in New Jersey,? or ?We need to get this done by the spring?, then that would have been one thing. But they were objecting to what the film actually was. It had to be about what happens when someone gets caught in the worst lie imaginable; if not the Holocaust, then what could it be? They offered no alternative. It was just, ?This is an issue.??
Suing Disney over a contractual pay dispute: The studio settled two months later for a reported $40m, stating that it was already looking forward to working with Johansson again ?on a number of upcoming projects?. What does she think of her colleagues? resounding silence? ?I mean, it would be great to have more support from the community and my peers ? vocally, publicly ? on certain issues that affect the entire industry. It?s always helpful to have more voices, you guys!? Having said that, even in cases where she is pretty much a lone voice, speaking out ?can still be really effective?. The Marvel pay spat, she adds, was a good example. ?As we moved from the model of theatrical box-office bonuses to understanding how that translated to streaming, it had just become this nebulous thing, with no guidelines around it. So to be able to impact that moves everything in the right direction. But yes, I would welcome more support.?
Whether supporting Woody Allen affected her career: ?I guess it?s hard to know. You never know what the domino effect is, exactly. But my mom always encouraged me to be myself, [to see] that it?s important to have integrity, and stand up for what you believe in. At the same time, I think it?s also important to know when it?s not your turn. I don?t mean that you should silence yourself. I mean sometimes it?s just not your time. And that?s something I?ve understood more as I?ve matured.?
How Hollywood is still tough for women: ?I think it?s still tough. There have always been great roles in Hollywood for women. But the standards are tough. In general, there?s so much more expected of female actors. If a female actor had experienced, let?s say, a huge addiction, or a public fall from grace, the road to getting back for them is almost impossible to pave, right? Whereas for men, it?s just another dramatic twist in the story, and then it?s on to the comeback. For men, it can be almost heroic. But for women, it?s like you just disappear.?
Scarlett actually recorded real Holocaust survivors? stories for the film: Given the nature of Eleanor?s lies ? which, smartly, are never actually shown; the camera always cuts back to Bessie?s own, truthful testimony ? Johansson wanted to make sure she didn?t err in matters of taste, or worse. She seems especially proud that each member of the film?s support group is played by someone who, in real life, would have every right to be there, at a time when only around 245,000 survivors are still alive worldwide, and misinformation and outright denial is on the rise. They were, she says, ?an amazing group. But it took work to identify people who were both willing and able to participate.?
[From The Telegraph]
I think the Woody thing has become so distasteful/toxic to the point where people don?t even want to acknowledge when an actor has previously supported Woody. When Diane Keaton passed, there were some references to her defense of Woody, but most people were like ?eh, it?s complicated.? Same with Cate Blanchett, Penelope Cruz and several others who never really cut ties or apologized for working with him. I?m actually surprised Scarlett even bothered to comment, but as I said she?s made of teflon to a certain extent.
The Disney stuff was a rare moment when I was 100% on her side. Disney fought back against her lawsuit in a really wild, sexist, patronizing way, and Scarlett got some really sympathetic coverage for standing up to Hollywood?s Goliath. Disney?s initial misread of the situation was a huge reason why they settled with Scarlett within a few months as well.

I personally haven?t paid attention to Gwen Stefani since March of this year, when she seemingly played around with going MAGA or tried to appeal to the MAGAts. It was a weird moment and I still don?t really understand what?s going on with Gwen politically. For years now, assumptions have been made about Blake Shelton and his politics, and how Gwen has likely become more conservative within their marriage. She?s exactly the type to adopt her husband?s political views too, that?s all I?ll say!
Well, in recent weeks, there were tabloid stories about the Shelton-Stefani marriage and whether they were on the rocks. While I doubt everything is sunshine and roses 24-7, I also doubt that Blake and Gwen will ever fall apart. Star Magazine claimed, two weeks ago, that people have been worried about their marriage ever since Blake and Gwen released the single ?Hangin? On,? which is clearly about breaking up. Blake and Gwen have fewer date nights, and they?ve been skipping joint public appearances and red carpets for months. Something about ?separate lives.? They even made a point of skipping the CMAs.
Right on cue, after those rumors circulated for weeks, Gwen posted a Thanksgiving selfie with Blake, showing that they?re still loved up, I guess. My read on this whole situation? I think if they break up, it will be because Blake wants out, and I don?t think he currently wants out. He?s very happy with Gwen and her sons. I would argue that they?re probably well over the honeymoon phase and, sure, they aren?t connected at the hip. But I honestly believe that Blake has put a lot of his career on the back burner to be at home with Gwen and the boys.

A month ago, Justin Trudeau traveled to Paris to take Katy Perry out for her 41st birthday. They went to the Crazy Horse and they were photographed arriving and leaving. The whole thing felt weird, but this entire coupling and courtship has felt completely bizarre and performative. What?s even funnier is that Team Katy and Team Justin are narrating this courtship in the gossip media. We?ve been told that Justin really likes Katy and that he?s pursuing her, even traveling to multiple countries to get to her. We?re told that Katy appreciates his effort and she?s flattered by his pursuit. We?re told that Justin likes Katy for her mind, which is the biggest joke of all. Well, they?re still doing this. They?re making plans together for the holidays.
Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau are preparing to spend some downtime together. After the pop star, 41, and the former prime minister, 53, were initially spotted spending time together in July, the pair have grown closer and are planning for the upcoming festive season.
Now, a source close to Perry tells PEOPLE, on Thursday, Nov. 20, that the pair are making plans for the holidays.
However, the source notes, that Perry is really looking forward to wrapping her tour.
Without exaggeration, this year has been a whirlwind for her, the source adds. She hasnt even had time to really think about her life after the tour.
According to the source, Perry ? who split from ex-fianc, Orlando Bloom earlier this year ? will be focusing on her 5-year-old daughter Daisy Dove, whom she shares with The Lord of the Rings actor, 48.
Shes a single mom now and a lot of that is going to come into focus next year, says the source.
The same source told PEOPLE on Wednesday, Nov. 19 that the couple are spending time together when they can.
Justin keeps making a big effort to see her and shes excited about it, the source told PEOPLE, noting that Perry has a lot of fun with him. The source added that their romance is exactly what she needs right now.
[From People]
This is all coming from Katy?s side, and please acknowledge that Katy doesn?t even seem to understand or know that Justin has three children from his first marriage? I?m sure his holiday plans are based more on his kids rather than Katy!! At least I hope that?s the case. But sure, Katy is a single mother now and she?s probably looking forward to wrapping her tour in a few weeks. I looked it up she plans to go back on tour next June, so she?ll have a solid six months off. Will she use that time to figure out if she wants to be with a former Canadian prime minister?

For the Royal Variety performance on Wednesday, the Princess of Wales wore a new-to-us Talbot Runhof dress. Talbot Runhof is the design collaboration between Adrian Runhof (a German) and Johnny Talbot (an American). It was interesting that Kate didn?t go with a repeat, and it looks like this gown has been in her closet for years, because the designers confirmed that they had no idea she owned this and it?s a few years old. The designers sounded happy about it, even though ?the Kate Effect? is struggling pretty hard these days, with so many of Kate?s favorite labels going out of business or dramatically downsizing.
Kate Middletons latest red carpet moment was two years in the making, but the designers behind her velvet green dress only got a quick heads-up! Adrian Runhof ? co-founder and designer at Talbot Runhof, the brand behind the Princess of Wales outfit choice for the Royal Variety Performance on Nov. 19 ? tells PEOPLE exclusively that the palace notified them that shed be wearing their dress about 30 minutes before the royals appearance.
Two hours later, our name and our dress have been posted worldwide, so we are very thankful to her, he says. We think she is great, we respect her and it?s a great honor for us that she picked this dress, that she obviously liked it enough to buy it and select it for the event last night.
Runhof ? whose celebrity fans include Selena Gomez, Helen Mirren and Oprah Winfrey ? explains that the classic dress has been in their collection for many seasons, and he believes that Princess Kate, 43, purchased it through a department store.
I think she bought it a few seasons ago and found it in her wardrobe and thought, Why don?t I wear this? Its so beautiful, he tells PEOPLE, adding that Kate looked impeccable.
The designer adds, We focus on making beautiful dresses, that?s what we do. I think the dress spoke to her. I doubt she knows who we even are, but she fell in love with it, and maybe that?s how it should be.
Runhof says the secret to their dresses is their feminine and flattering fit, adding that there was an extra bonus to Princess Kates choice. The best thing is that it?s a wonderful stretch velvet, so it feels as comfortable as a pair of pajamas! he explains.
Twenty-five years ago, American Johnny Talbot and German Runhof started the brand, quickly discovered by Georgio Beverly Hills, a store that used to exist in Los Angeles that was a popular spot for celebrities hitting the red carpet.
The Princess of Wales dress choice may hint that shes considering the brand for the upcoming state visit to the U.K. by German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and first lady Frau Elke Bdenbender. We are very excited to hear about it when it happens, Runhof tells PEOPLE, adding that the German first lady owns many of their dresses. She might be wearing one when she comes to the U.K. in December, too!
[From People]
The Telegraph also devoted an article to glazing Kate for her ?pre-diplomatic dressing? by choosing a German designer, all because of the upcoming state visit by Chancellor Steinmeier. The Telegraph also bizarrely claims that this dress is ?no longer available to buy, indicating just how far in advance the Princess and her team plans for these engagements.? Does anyone actually think that Kate purchased this dress two years ago and thought ?this will be good for the 2025 Royal Variety show?? No. Kate used to shop and shop and shop and she has a closet full of clothes she?s never worn. And that?s probably why it feels like her clothing allowance has been cut so dramatically in the past two years as well, and why she tried to make a big deal about how her office would no longer talk about her fashion.

The Princess of Wales only had one event last week, during the actual ?work week.? The poor keen sausage was exhausted from attending two events over the weekend the Festival of Remembrance and Remembrance Sunday. She visited the National Memorial Arboretum on Armistice Day (last Tuesday) and that was that. Of course, we also ?saw? Kate in her Autumn video in her ?Mother Nature? series over the weekend. That counts as work for Kate as well, for some reason. Well, good news Kate will work at least one day this week. She and Prince William will attend the Royal Variety show on Wednesday.
Kate Middleton and Prince William are all set for a date night. The Prince and Princess of Wales will don their best outfits as they attend an annual glitzy pre-holiday show on Wednesday Nov. 19.
The couple, both 43, will get in the mood for the holiday when they are the guests of honor at this year?s Royal Variety Performance, which is being held at the Royal Albert Hall, a short drive from their London home, Kensington Palace.
The show benefits the Royal Variety Charity, which supports those who have worked professionally in the entertainment world. Since 2024, particular attention has been given by the charity to those who are in need of help due to mental health challenges ? an area that is close to the hearts of both Kate and William.
The evening will be hosted by British comedian Jason Manford and is set to include a flavor of some of the current top-level shows onstage in the West End. The royal couple will be hoping they arent the subject of some of the jokes ? as they have been in the past.
[From People]
In 2023, the Royal Variety show was one of Kate?s last public appearances before her months-long disappearance. I hope we?re not getting a repeat of that. But it?s interesting as well that they?re back to letting Kate go outside in the evenings. For well over a year, it felt like Kate was banned from evening events or any event where she might wear a tiara or a gown. But they?re back to allowing her to attend state dinners and the like. I?m curious to see if she attends the diplomatic reception as well she skipped it last year, and there was a curious silence around her absence. William and Kate also skipped the BAFTAs this year (another evening event) and the V-J Day commemoration event over the summer.
Meanwhile, the BBC apologized for calling her ?Kate Middleton? on air during a Remembrance event. There were apparently complaints from royalists that anchors still use Kate?s maiden name, and that no one refers to her as ?Catherine? either. Honestly, it?s an SEO thing, it?s not about respect or disrespect.
And finally, Kate?s Autumn video has not gone over well.
