Personally, I don?t like Olivia Wilde that much, but she?s not on my permanent hate list or anything. I just find her annoying and pretentious, but sometimes she?ll do, say or wear something that I find interesting. And I?m pretty interested in her new romance with Harry Styles. I find them an odd couple, not because of their ages (she?s a decade older than him) but more because of the fact that they?re in such different places in their lives. She?s a mother of two getting out of her second long-term relationship (which was a lot like a marriage) and she?s made major moves to be taken seriously as a director, writer and producer in addition to her acting career. And Harry has been around the music industry for years, but he?s really just ?starting out? in a lot of ways. I don?t know. Maybe it will be fine.
Olivia and Harry met on the set of Don?t Worry Darling, which will be Olivia?s second feature length directorial effort. She also co-stars in it, along with Chris Pine, Florence Pugh, Gemma Chan and others. Shia Labeouf was cast in the film initially, then Olivia fired him and recast the role with Harry. Apparently, sparks flew between Olivia and Harry immediately:
Harry Styles and Olivia Wildes new romance might have come as a shock to fans, but those on the set of their upcoming film, Dont Worry Darling, werent surprised by the news. In this weeks issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday, sources says the actress-director, 36, struck up a close friendship with the singer, 26, last fall as they began work on her highly-anticipated sophomore directorial project, which she also stars in.
What started out as a close friendship, quickly turned romantic, the source says. Everyone saw it coming. During breaks, hes hasnt been able to stay away and visited her trailer.
As they spent time together on-and off-set, their friendship quickly turned romantic, says an insider. Their chemistry was very obvious.
Wilde ? who split from fianc Jason Sudeikis, 45, in early 2020 ? brought on the former One Direction singer as the films male lead in September. He plays the husband of Florence Pughs character, a 1950s housewife who discovers a disturbing truth while living in an isolated community in California. I did a little victory dance when we heard that we officially had Harry in the film, Wilde told Vogue for its December issue.
After conservative commentator Candace Owens slammed Styles in November for wearing a dress on the magazines cover, Wilde was among many who jumped to his defense, calling Owens pathetic on Twitter.
Olivia was going on and on about how wearing a dress still makes Harry masculine, says the insider. It was again just so obvious she had fallen for him.
Despite their budding romance, the two continue to keep things very professional at work.
Olivia and Harry created this loving and warm environment, says the insider. Everyone loved working with them. She takes her work very seriously, but everyone saw it coming.

Yeah, I get that we?re supposed to think this is cute and cool, but the age gap alongside the professional power gap kind of bugs me, just as it?s bugged me when the genders are reversed and an older male director is smitten with a young actress he?s directing (see also: Darren Aronofsky and Jennifer Lawrence). Everybody has to be really fking careful. But again, they?re both adults and as long as everyone behaves professionally on the set, so be it and I?m happy for them. Olivia must be so pleased that her second film is getting so much attention already and they haven?t even wrapped.

Blake Shelton has somehow been able to maintain his ?brand? as a Good Ol? Boy Oklahoma redneck despite the fact that he spends at least half of every year in LA, filming The Voice and living with his rock-star fiancee Gwen Stefani. I?m surrounded by rednecks and good ol? boys where I live in Virginia, and Blake really has it down. I don?t doubt that he plays up his accent and his whole Oklahoma shtick, but it?s based on who Blake is or was originally. But maybe LA has changed him. Maybe he?s no longer in touch with those Oklahoma roots. Blake has a new song and one of the lyrics involves the minimum wage and people are MAD.
Blake Shelton is facing backlash for debuting a song titled ?Minimum Wage? while people in America continue to struggle amid the coronavirus pandemic. ?The Voice? coach debuted the new single on NBC?s New Year?s Eve television special alongside Carson Daly to help ring in 2021. The country singer told the host that his fiancee, Gwen Stefani, helped get her brother, Todd, to direct the video.
The artist?s new song has to do with his love for the 51-year-old ?Hollaback Girl? singer and contains a lyric in the chorus that upset many people who saw the broadcast.
?Girl, your love can make a man feel rich on minimum wage.?
Given the fact that the coronavirus pandemic has caused many businesses to shut down and put countless Americans out of work, people were quick to take to Twitter to lambaste the singer for releasing a song they believed was ?tone deaf? given the current climate.
?The irony of listening to a millionaire Blake Shelton singing about ?love on minimum wage? at the end of 2020 might be lost on its target audience,? one user wrote.
?I love his music but the timing for Minimum Wage isn?t great. With so many people out of work and struggling the song feels a little tone deaf. I?d like to hear songs that are more personal. Wish he wrote more of his own stuff because he?s an incredible song writer,? another wrote in a tweet that was unavailable as of Sunday.
Someone else agreed, writing: ?Does anyone else find Blake Shelton?s ?Minimum Wage? song to be incredibly tone deaf to our country?s current state??
The song has not yet been fully released and Shelton has yet to publicly comment on the backlash on social media.

I think it?s just a bad lyric? I mean, it?s out of touch and all of that, completely. But surely there was an easier way to write a lyric with the sentiment of ?you make me feel rich? or ?money doesn?t matter when I?m with you.? I don?t know. It?s so weird, the branding of country music demands that rich country stars play-act down-home redneck vibes and performative poverty, and Blake basically accidentally revealed that he has no idea what life is like for someone trying to live on minimum wage.
