Sandra Bullocks latest movie wasThe LostCity, which I really liked and apparently so did others because it pulled in $187.7 million worldwide. Sandra, Channing Tatum, Daniel Radcliffe, and DaVine Joy Randolph were all great in their roles. Sandra was approached by Paramount to produce and star in the movie andThe Hollywood Reporter wrote a feature on what went into making the movie and its getting past the $100 million mark domestically. A lot of the article is a bit inside baseball, but it also dives into Sandras recent comments that shes going to take a break from acting.
During interviews around the time of SXSW, Bullock revealed she was going to take a break from acting and producing to focus on her two children (she was working back-to-back on The Lost City and The Unforgivable). All told, the Oscar-winning actress has starred in 50 films.
?I don?t want to be beholden to anyone?s schedule other than my own,? Bullock says. ?I?m so burnt out. I?m so tired, and I?m so not capable of making healthy, smart decisions and I know it.? She won?t say how long this break might last. ?I really don?t know.?
Adds Bullock: ?Work has always been steady for me, and I?ve been so lucky. I realized it possibly was becoming my crutch. It was like opening up a fridge all the time and looking for something that was never in the fridge. I said to myself, ?Stop looking for it here because it doesn?t exist here. You already have it; establish it, find it and be OK not having work to validate you.??
Bullock says producing The Lost City with Chasin was a fabulous experience, as was working with Paramount, which allowed her the kind of creative freedom and respect she hasn?t always experienced. ?I love working with artists, and that?s why Liza and I were very well-matched,? Bullock says. ?If I?m going out with a bang, I want to go out with the right person.?
Adds Chasin of their future, ?Sandy and I are going to do something together. It might just be baking cookies. We don?t know what it is yet ? it might be a movie ? but it is going to be great.?
So where does that leave the possibility of a Lost City sequel? Paramount sources say they?d love to find more treasure with Bullock and Chasin.

Sandra occupies the position of being both extremely prolific and well-regarded as an actress, so it makes sense that (a) she would be burned out and (b) that if she steps away she will be able to come back when shes ready and pick and choose her projects. Julia Roberts scaling back her acting projects for a while comes to mind as well. After being everywhere from like 1995-2009, Sandra does sometimes take a few years between projects now. It sounds like shes planning to do that again, but for an indefinite amount of time. Her comment about going out with a bang is interesting though. It really makes it sound like Sandra has no new projects planned for the foreseeable future and shes not even thinking generally about when her break might end. If shes tired and has the ability to step away from the thing burning her out, I cant fault her for that. Sandra probably wants to spend more time with her kids and her partner. Sounds like Paramount would love for her break to be short though.

Kim Kardashian wore Marilyn Monroe?s famous Jean Louis dress to this year?s Met Gala. Kim borrowed it from Ripley?s Believe It Or Not Museum. The museum purchased the dress at auction in 2016 and, to my knowledge, this was the first time the dress had been lent out for someone to wear at a public event. Kim wore the dress solely for the Met Gala red carpet, then changed into a replica for the gala. All that and Marilyn?s dress didn?t even look good on her. Additionally, the Marilyn Monroe Collection has accused Kim of doing irreparable harm to the dress. The MM Collection has been doing extensive documentation of what happened to the dress and they blame Kim, Ripley?s and Anna Wintour (who likely signed off on this mess). Ripleys denied it. Now Kim is speaking out about those accusations that she harmed the dress:
In an interview with Today, which aired on Tuesday, June 21, Kardashian, 41, told anchors Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie: ?I respect [Marilyn]. I understand how much this dress means to American history and with the [Met] theme being American, I thought what is more American than Marilyn Monroe singing ?Happy Birthday? to the President of the United States.?
The reality star continued, ?It was such a process. I showed up to the red carpet in a robe and slippers and I put the dress on at the bottom of the carpet, went up the stairs ? I probably had it on for three minutes, four minutes, and then I changed at the top of the stairs.?
When Kotb, 57, asked Kardashian to address claims the dress was ?ruined,? the Skims founder shook her head and said, ?No ? Ripley?s [and I] worked together so well. There were handlers and gloves that put it on me.?
Kardashian also opened up about her weight loss and the backlash she received after revealing she lost 16 pounds just to fit into the look. ?I looked at it like a role, and I really wanted to wear this dress. It was really important to me? Since then, I?ve continued to eat really healthy. I?m down 21 pounds now. I?m not trying to lose any more weight, but I have more energy than ever. I cut out so much sugar, a lot of junk food I was eating ? I just completely changed my lifestyle.

I don?t know how many times Kim is going to claim that she?s suddenly found a new, restrictive diet and the diet is working wonders for her. She makes those claims every two years or so. It?s ridiculous. And no one believes she just naturally dropped 16 pounds in a matter of weeks either. I believe all of these ?new diets? are just cover stories for liposuction.
As for what Kim says about only having the dress on for a few minutes?I actually believe her and I think it was mostly the Ripley?s people handling the dress, and we know Kim only wore it for the red carpet. That being said, four minutes is plenty of time for the damage to be done to the dress. The dress was clearly strained on Kim?s body, especially as she was walking up steps and putting it on and taking it off. Come on.
