Earlier this month, Anna Kendrick opened up on Alex Cooper?s Call Her Daddy podcast about the years of abuse she suffered while in a seven-year-long relationship. You can listen to her interview here. Anna is promoting hew new Netflix movie, Woman of the Hour, which is based on the true story of The Dating Game serial killer, Rodney Alcala. Anna directed the film and stars as Cheryl, a contestant on The Dating Game.
Anna appeared on another podcast this week, Crime Junkie AF. She mentioned that when she realized that the movie was going to make money, she decided to donate it to charity because it felt ?gross? to profit off of it. The charities that she?s donating her profits to are RAINN and The National Center for Victims of Violent Crime.
In a recent interview, Anna revealed she actually didn?t make any money from the movie, as she donated her earnings to organizations that specialize in victims of violent crime and sexual abuse.
?Believe me, this was never a money-making venture for me, ?cause you know, all the resources went to actually just making the movie,? she said on the Crime Junkie AF podcast. ?But it wasn?t until the Toronto Film Festival, where the movie premiered and it?s this big film festival for someone to buy movies, and that is where eventually Netflix bought the movie.?
?But, it wasn?t until like the week before TIFF that I thought, ?Oh, the movie?s going to make money,?? Anna said. ?Like, I was just so, I went from being like, ?Let me know when the movie happens!? to like, ?Oh god, I?m responsible for this,? and then I was just making the movie, making the movie, and then we just barely made the deadline to get into TIFF.?
?Then it was like, ?Oh, there?s like money going to be exchanging hands,? and yeah,? she continued. ?I sort of asked myself the question of like, ?Do you feel gross about this?? and I did, and so yeah, I?m not making money off of the movie. The money is going to, or has gone to, RAINN and to The National Center For Victims of Violent Crime, which is a charity that Matt Murphy recommended to me.?

This is a really powerful gesture from Anna. She?s putting her money where her mouth is and donating to two great charities. Even more so, she?s making more people aware that they exist. I truly hope that it helps in her own healing process. It also makes me want to watch Woman of the Hour even more. It?s already out on Netflix, so I?m adding it to my list now.

While I definitely think Jennifer Aniston can be and often is problematic, she?s never played any political ?both sides? games. She?s always been a Democrat, she?s always supported Democrats nationally. She usually attends one or two fundraisers in presidential years and I would assume she probably donates to Senate races here and there. Ever since she got an Instagram account, she?s been more politically vocal, using her platform (with 44 million-plus followers) to encourage people to vote and pay attention to various issues. Remember when the anti-vaxxers came for her neck when she was like ?people should wear masks and get vaccinated?? Well, recently, she?s been platforming a lot of pro-choice messages, including the text of Michelle Obama?s recent speech, on her IG Stories. She also posted her ?I Voted? sticker with this message:
Hi friends
Today not only did I vote for access to health care, for reproductive freedom, for equal rights, for safe schools, and for a fair economy, but also for SANITY and HUMAN DECENCY.
Please remember that whoever you are and wherever you live, your voice matters. Your VOTE matters.
I know we don?t agree on everything, and that is the beauty of this country, but GOOD LORD aren?t you tired of this negativity towards each other? The intimidation and constant threats to those who do not think the same as the other?
Let?s please end this era of fear, chaos and the attacks on our democracy and vote for someone who will unite us and not continue to threaten to divide us
I very proudly voted for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
We are so lucky we get to VOTE and this election is in our hands! We only have one week until Election Day so talk to your friends, your family, your neighbors and let?s find our way back to each other with respect, common cause, and LOVE.

Not to set the bar too low, but I appreciate that she said ?I very proudly voted for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.? It wasn?t a generic ?just vote for whoever? nor was it ?hold your nose and vote for the least bad option.? People are genuinely excited to vote for Harris-Walz. There?s a crazy amount of enthusiasm for this ticket. There?s a crazy amount of trauma that comes with dealing with Trump?s bulls-t for the past nine fking years. Yeah. Just vote for Harris-Walz. Let?s do this.

I always halfway believed that Channing Tatum was one of the main reasons why Zoe Kravitz?s first marriage imploded. The timeline backs that up Zoe started talking to Channing when she was putting together her directorial debut, a film which would end up being called Blink Twice. As she was casting and pursuing Channing as the lead, her marriage to Karl Glusman quickly fell apart in late 2020. Zoe and Channing didn?t officially become a couple until 2021, and they got engaged last year. Well, now their relationship is over!
Zo Kravitz and Channing Tatum are calling it quits after three years as a couple. Multiple sources confirm to PEOPLE that the Batman actress and Magic Mike actor have called off their engagement.
The two first became an item after working together on Kravitz?s feature directorial debut Blink Twice, in which Tatum starred, and got engaged a year ago.
Reps for both stars have not responded to requests for comment from PEOPLE.
Tatum, 44, joined Kravitz in seeing a production of a play by Blink Twice costar Levon Hawke in New York Citys Red Hook neighborhood on Oct. 6. However, Kravitz, 35, has in recent weeks been spotted out and about without her engagement ring, including on a recent outing with Big Little Lies costar Shailene Woodley.

It sort of bums me out? I just watched Blink Twice, and I found it so impressive. Zoe is actually a great director, and she directed her lover so well it was honestly a great performance from Channing, and the whole cast did a great job. Channing seemed really into Zoe, to the point where he was following and liking posts on fan-run Instagram accounts. Channing was friendly with Lenny Kravitz too, Lenny approved of him. I wonder what happened.
