For years, there were rumors about Tom Cruise and Hayley Atwell. Rumors that they were dating, rumors that they spent a lot of time together filming Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One, rumors that they broke up after things went south. While I believed that Hayley and Tom could be doing a showmance for movie-promotion and just general professional reasons, I never believed that they were actually dating or having a real romance. Well, as Hayley promoted this MI movie, she?s talking about those rumors and more. She also confirmed to the Independent that she is engaged? to Ned Wolfgang Kelly, a songwriter/composer. She wore her engagement ring during the interview. Some highlights:
The truth about the Tom Cruise rumors: The truth, Atwell tells me, is that she looked on Cruise and Mission?s director, Chris McQuarrie (or ?McQ?), as ?sort of two uncles?. And who doesn?t love seeking advice from their uncle about the fact that the world thinks you?re courting? ?I would be like, ?Ooh, there?s some weird rumours, and it feels base, it feels a little dirty, it feels grubby, it?s not what I?m about,?? she explains. ?Why are things being assumed or projected onto me about my relationship with my work colleague and boss?? Atwell found it ?upsetting? because ?it?s involving people in my actual life, my personal life, who have to be on the receiving end of that. It becomes invasive.?
Tom?s reaction to the romance rumors: But Cruise, who Atwell says ?carries his fame like a loose garment?, knew exactly what to say. ?When I?ve talked to him about it, he?d be like? ? here she turns to me intensely and looks directly into my eyes ? ??You know exactly who you are. You know what you?re about. And that is the only thing that matters. It doesn?t matter what people think of you, if you are in integrity with yourself, if you know what your value system is.?
What she really thinks of Tom Cruise: ?I truly feel you could meet him and go? ? here she affects a voice of dry cynicism ? ??He?s nice; he?s charming; he?s charismatic; he knows how to make people feel good about themselves. So that?s just a tactic for total manipulation, because he?s probably just an egocentric.?? She rolls her eyes. ?Or whatever bulls*** people want to make up about people. But over time, you?re just watching him, going: he really works hard, he really cares, he?s really interested in people and wants to engage with them, and he believes in the power of cinema as much as he did when he was five years old.? Going into the franchise, she says, he made her feel ?safe?.
[From The Independent]
Yeah? so that?s it. I believe her, I guess. I believe that they didn?t have a romance or showmance, but even despite her protests now, I do think she probably sort of enjoyed the buzz. I mean, there was gossip about Tom and Hayley for years and neither of them addressed it before now. Now, I also think it?s funny that she called Tom something akin to an ?uncle.? Granted, age-wise, that is what he would be she?s 41, he?s 61. But Hayley calling him an uncle just highlights the age difference. Anyway, I think Tom has basically given up on romance or whatever these days, he?s just all about the work, all about the grind.

The casts of Barbenheimer arrived in London mid-week, and on Wednesday, Barbie and Oppenheimer had dueling events one premiere, one photocall, and a fan event. Then the SAG-AFTRA union left its negotiations with the studios and said that on Thursday, the actors would go on strike. A strike means that SAG members are not even allowed to do promotional junkets or attend premieres or Comic Con or anything like that. But? the timing was key. First a vote had to be held in LA, then the strike was called mid-morning on the west coast. So it ended up working out that the cast of Oppenheimer actually did some interviews and walked the premiere carpet in London, then halfway through the premiere, the cast went on strike.
So, here are some fashion notes from the last promotional event for Oppenheimer! Emily Blunt wore McQueen, an improvement over that ghastly mint Balmain in Paris. I don?t know if she was trying to ?pout? as she posed or if that?s just what her face does now. Meanwhile, Florence Pugh wore a stunning Valentino gown with a full skirt. Her stylist matched the burnt orange color to? the color of the atomic bomb on the posters. Bombshell!
As I said, the cast did get to do some interviews apparently, they moved up the time of the premiere just so the cast could do some last-minute interviews. The cast spoke to each other beforehand about what they would do once the strike was called, and they made a point of walking away from the premiere at the same time. Matt Damon was especially vocal about his support for his union, even though Deadline Hollywood tried to make it sound like he was against the strike. (Minor update: Deadline deleted their original tweet which was an incomplete quote from Matty D, but now theyve updated it.)
#Oppenheimer star Matt Damon on SAG-AFTRA going on strike: ?If our leadership is saying that the deal isn?t fair, then we gotta hold strong until we get a deal that?s fair for working actors. It?s the difference between having healthcare and not for a lot of actors, and we gotta? pic.twitter.com/wPjEKn9iSe

Barbie has invaded Europe and the glamour is off the charts! These photos are from last night?s London premiere of Barbie. Margot Robbie?s stylist Andrew Mukamal pulled out all the stops for this premiere: they homage?d the 1960 ?Enchanted Evening? Barbie, complete with a customized, pale Pink Vivienne Westwood gown and detachable fur collar. Mattel should give Margot a bonus for what she?s doing with her promotional looks she?s significantly driving up interest in the new and vintage dolls.

| | Vanna White worries that 'Wheel of Fortune' producers see her as 'replaceable' | | Added 351 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

When Pat Sajak announced his retirement from Wheel of Fortune, suddenly the spotlight was on Vanna White and whether she would stay. Vanna wants to stay, and she was already negotiating her new contract with her new ballbuster lawyer when Sajak announced his retirement. As it turned out, Vanna hired the lawyer because she hasn?t gotten a raise in 18 years, and she?s asking for half of what Pat Sajak made he made about $15 million per year, so she probably wants about $7.5 million a year, as opposed to the $3 million she?s made annually for the past 18 years. When Ryan Seacrest was announced as Sajak?s replacement, I had a really bad feeling that Seacrest would find some way to oust Vanna. Well, guess what? Vanna?s getting the vibe that producers believe she?s ?replaceable.?
Vanna White feels like Wheel Of Fortune bosses think she is replaceable and have a lack of respect for her after they hired Ryan Seacrest as longtime host Pat Sajaks successor without offering her a chance to take on the role. A source close to White, 66, told DailyMail.com exclusively that she was disappointed that they made a decision about Seacrest, 48, so quickly with show executives announcing Seacrest as the new host less than two weeks after Sajak, 76, publicly revealed he was retiring.
She was disappointed that they didnt give her more of a chance to take over Pats job, or that she wasnt able to give her two cents on the replacement, the insider said. She didnt assume they would be making the announcement of his replacement so soon.
The source was quick to emphasize White had nothing but respect for Ryan and will be happy to work with him, but it just shows a lack of respect in her eyes that they have for her. She wants to be with the show for as long as she wants to be on the show, on her terms. She believes she deserves it, the insider added.
It is a major uphill battle, especially when money is involved and she sees the writing on the wall that they think she is replaceable. There will be lots of negotiations, but if she gets replaced and is not given a new contract, she will be beyond heartbroken. This has been her life, it would be just as powerful as a death if she doesnt continue with the show.
The insider further elaborated the transition that the retirement of Wheels longtime executive producer Harry Friedman, 76, in August 2019 was what initially seemed to set in motion a new era for the game show.
Things got a little bit different with the show for Pat and Vanna during COVID, as the atmosphere changed on set once [Harry] left the show and retired, they said. It just wasnt the same vibe? Nobody dislikes anyone, it is just different, and the leverage that Pat and Vanna once had is not there anymore. Pat saw the writing on the wall and thought if there was ever a time to leave, now would be that time.
As for Vanna, the source added: She usually? keeps to herself, comes to work, does her thing, and leaves. She is friendly with everyone, but with the new regime, she doesnt have the clout she once had, is no longer bulletproof, and is unfortunately made to feel replaceable. She doesnt want to retire and leave the show, so she really hopes she doesnt get pushed out. That is the last thing on her list to happen, she wants to stay, but she also wants it to be fair and is going to fight for what she believes in and what she deserves.
[From The Daily Mail]
Who knew that Wheel of Fortune had all of these backroom politics and in-fighting to the point where Sajak and White would need ?leverage? with one particular producer? I guess the corporate perspective was ?if it ain?t broke, don?t fix it? Vanna and Pat provided an ocean of stability for the game show, but now that Sajak is out, the business believes that it?s worth exploring all kinds of other options. Which I sort of understand from a cold, business perspective. But I think the WoF bosses are really underestimating Vanna?s popularity, and her ability to do reputational damage to the show if she?s treated poorly or fired outright.

| | Angelina Jolie will rent Jean-Michel Basquiat's work space for Atelier Jolie | | Added 353 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Angelina Jolie has been visiting New York pretty consistently in recent months. She?s based herself in Los Angeles for the past seven years, ever since she filed for divorce in 2016 she ended up buying a mansion which is located pretty close to Brad Pitt?s Los Feliz compound, only Pitt recently sold the compound. So I did wonder why she was making so many trips to New York, hoping that it was possibly about spending time with Jonny Lee Miller. She often brings her kids to NYC, and in late June, she was in the city with Zahara, Pax and Shiloh. So, is she changing her home base? Is she looking for residential real estate? Apparently not Art News reports that Angelina was looking for commercial space for her new fashion collective, Atelier Jolie. So she decided to rent a very famous address which was once Jean-Michel Basquiat?s work space.
The Manhattan property where Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat lived and worked will be taken over by actress and humanitarian Angelina Jolie. The deal for the property, located at 57 Great Jones Street, was confirmed today by John Roesch and Garrett Kelly, both directors at the real estate agency Meridian Capital Group. Jolie will rent the space for her latest creative venture, Atelier Jolie, under long-term commercial use for eight years.
The interior space features 6,600 square feet of space across three floors. The exterior of the building is adorned in street art, and Jolie will keep it that way as a public tribute to Basquiat, who started his career as one half of the graffiti art duo SAMO.
?[Jolie] wanted to preserve the older art on [the building] and keep that Basquiat feel to the space,? said Roesch.
?She loved the facade of the building and it being tagged up with the street art as a memorial for Basquiat,? Kelly added.
Basquiat rented the second-floor space from Warhol shortly after they first met. Warhol originally bought the building in 1970.
Prior to Warhol?s purchase, the property already had a rich history. Originally constructed in the 1860s, it was purchased by Paolo Antonio Vaccarelli?aka the gangster Paul Kelly?who opened the Brighton Athletic Club there in 1904. The building was subsequently used as a metal works business and kitchen supply company until 1970. Most recently, the property was home to the exclusive Japanese restaurant Bohemian.
Atelier Jolie will serve as a workshop opportunity for under-represented tailors and artisans around the world. Those participating will be able to work and showcase their creations at the 57 Great Jones Street location. Jolie plans to open her new business ?as quickly as possible,? according to Roesch. The property was previously on the market with Meridian Capital Group for $60,000 per month for a minimum of 10 years.
[From Art News]
God that?s expensive. I get it, and I get why it?s so expensive, even beyond the physical space of it, but also the pedigree. So, I wondered what Atelier Jolie would actually entail and what kind of business it would be and how it would be set up. We?re getting a better look at all of that refugee creators will be creating capsule collections and they?ll likely collaborate with existing design houses too. The first collab is with Chloe. Will Atelier Jolie designers actually come into this Basquiat property to work, or will this be more of a show space? Will they show at New York Fashion Week? Time will tell. It?s interesting though. Also: do you think Angelina actually will buy or rent a residential property in New York so she can manage this project close-by?

Last night was the big LA premiere of Barbie. We are in the final home stretch of promotion now, and Margot Robbie?s stylist Andrew Makamal remains undefeated. Makamal dressed Robbie in Schiaparelli Haute Couture for the LA premiere surprisingly not ?Barbie pink,? but still a classic Barbie look. This was an homage to a 1960s Barbie doll called Solo in the Spotlight Barbie. She looks amazing and she?s been doing these doll-homages throughout the promotional tour.
Ryan Gosling did choose to wear a shade of Pink a pale ?Millennial pink? Gucci suit. He looks great.
Issa Rae actually had my favorite look this is Barbie! I mean, the dress is Marc Bouwer. But she IS President Barbie.
Alexandra Shipp in Miu Miu. Super-cute.
Kate McKinnon wore a Barbie-pink vest and slacks. Even Billie Eilish caught the Barbie bug.
Gal Gadot wore JW Anderson eh.
Nicki Minaj was there she?s on the soundtrack and her fans are called Barbz.

Victoria Beckham recently gave a lengthy interview to the Times of London to promote her branded makeup line. After years of financial struggle, her fashion line is finally making money, and Posh has branched out into a VB makeup line, which she loves. I?d even say she?s more passionate about her makeup line than her fashion line. Much of the interview is spon-con, but she talks about some interesting family stuff, and I was fascinated with what she discussed about non-invasive skin procedures she?s done, plus her eyebrow drama. Some highlights:
She?s super-involved with her makeup label: ?Look, some people are singers or actresses or models and they happen to have a licence deal where they?re going to put their name to make-up, and there?s nothing wrong with that. But, for me, this is what I do every single day. I split my time between the fashion and the beauty. I?m not a singer. I?m not doing anything else. This and fashion are my job.?
The makeup line was successful from the start: Her fashion line, launched in 2008, finally turned a profit last year, with revenues up 42 per cent to 58 million. Her private equity investor said that, but for Covid, it would have been in the black two years earlier. The beauty line was profitable ?after a year?, according to Beckham. Beauty lines often fund their fashion siblings; she says, ?We?re one and the same company. Fashion has had its challenges, so the fact that we have turned a profit is very exciting.?
Why she?s obsessed with brow pencils: ?Because over the years my brows have been so overplucked that if you saw me without it you?d be horrified. David has never seen me without my brows. They?re the first thing I do: wake up, put on the brow. Mine aren?t even, either ? they?re sisters, not twins. I?m very self-conscious about the overplucking because brows change your whole face. I remember a make-up artist shaving my eyebrows when I was in the Spice Girls. Shaving my eyebrows! When you?re 22 years old and you?re excited that you?re doing a shoot, you don?t think to say, ?Oh, hey, how about you don?t shave my eyebrows?? Then you get to 49 and you?re like, ?Sh-t.? I also did some laser hair removal on my eyebrows. That seemed like a really great thing to do at the time.?
She used to have acne. ?There was a time when you couldn?t put a pin in between them [the spots]. It was severe, severe acne. Thankfully I have quite oily skin, so I didn?t scar, even though I used to enjoy a good old pick. I wouldn?t touch them now, obviously. Or put toothpaste on them overnight, remember that? But I didn?t understand about skin back then, or about cleansing properly, and I certainly didn?t understand the importance of what you put not just on your skin but in your body. For me eating correctly is so important. That and hydration.?
Her strict diet: ?I mean, look, I have a strict diet. I have quite an obsessive personality in everything I do, whether it?s beauty, fashion, working out or eating. I am very, very disciplined. But it?s about eating healthy fats, so lots of avocado, fish, vegetables, but some other things too. I know it makes me sound incredibly boring. I don?t eat any sugar unless it?s in a glass of wine.?
Skin treatments: ?I like to try some laser treatments when I?m in LA, and I do a bit of Collagenwave [a noninvasive skin tightening treatment using radio frequency]. What I have had done, which is quite good, is when they lightly ?burn? the underneath of your eyes. It?s not intrusive, there?s no downtime, so it?s not overly dramatic.? She is unlined but doesn?t have Botox ? ?you tend to get that quite shiny forehead, plus your eyebrows go too high. I?m not trying to turn back the clock. I?m 49 and don?t have a hang-up about it. I want to look like a good version of myself, rested and fresh. I think it?s about little things. Same with make-up ? it?s about not doing too much, which can be really ageing. I went to an event recently and people had very ?big? [overfilled] faces. There are some scary options out there.?
[From The Times]
I agree that whatever she?s doing, it looks good and she looks pretty natural. For the most part, British women aren?t the ones going overboard with fillers and Botox and I believe Victoria when she says that she?s not into that stuff. But sure, she?s had stuff done, which she admits freely, and I appreciate that she?s talking about that. The conversation about her eyebrows cracked me up: ?Mine aren?t even, either ? they?re sisters, not twins.? I?m going to say that from now on, because mine are the same. They don?t ?match.? I have a natural arch in my left brow, and I have rogue hairs which appear at will, regardless of how many times I?ve plucked those fkers. Whenever women are like ?don?t overpluck, you?ll never get your brows back,? I?m like ?HOW?? I pluck and pluck and they just grow back worse. And I guarantee that David has seen her without her eyebrows, OMG.

| | Britney Spears was backhanded in the face by Victor Wembanyama's security | | Added 355 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

There was a terrible incident involving Britney Spears this week. Britney was in Las Vegas, at the Aria Hotel. She saw San Antonio Spurs? Victor Wembanyama at the hotel, with his security. Britney decided to go up to Victor and ask him for a photo. She walked up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder (that?s her version) and one of Victor?s security guys backhanded her in the face. Britney has filed a police report and both she and Victor issued statements on Thursday:
Recent No. 1 overall draft pick Victor Wembanyama has already reached his first NBA drama, and it involves Britney Spears. The San Antonio Spurs phenom confirmed that he was involved in an incident Wednesday that allegedly saw a member of his security team slap the pop icon at the Aria Hotel in Las Vegas, according to the Associated Press. Per TMZ, Spears filed a police report that identified Spurs director of team security Damian Smith as the person who backhanded her, with conflicting reports on whether the matter will be subject to a criminal investigation. There are also photos showing a person identified as Spears walking up behind Wembanyama and Smith.
Spears reportedly wanted to ask Wembanyama for a photo as they were walking into a restaurant and tapped him on the shoulder, which allegedly resulted in the slap. Spears then went to her table, where Smith approached her to apologize, which she accepted. Wembanyama somewhat corroborated the account while speaking with reporters Thursday, though he claimed that Spears grabbed him instead of tapping him on the shoulder and said his security pushed her away instead of slapping her:
?Something did happen, a little bit, when I was walking with some security from the team to some restaurant. We were in the hall. There was a lot of people, so people calling me, obviously. There was one person who was calling me, but we talked before with the security. I couldn?t stop. That person was calling me, ?sir, sir,? and that person grabbed me from behind,? Wembanyama said. ?I didn?t see what happened because I was walking straight and didn?t stop. That person grabbed me from behind, not on my shoulder, she grabbed me from behind. I just know the security pushed her away. I don?t know with how much force, but security pushed her away. I didn?t stop to look so I could walk in and enjoy the nice dinner.?
He added that he didnt know the other person was Spears until hours after the incident: ?I didn?t know for a couple hours, but when I came back to the hotel I didnt forget about it, but I thought it was no big deal, and then the security of the Spurs told me it was Britney Spears. At first, I was like, ?You?re joking.? But yeah, turns out it was Britney Spears. I never saw her face. I just kept walking straight.?
Spears later released a statement via Twitter in which she pushed back on Wembanyamas claim that she grabbed him and emphasized the force with which she was hit.
?Traumatic experiences are not new to me and I have had my fair share of them. I was not prepared for what happened to me last night. recognized an athlete in my hotel lobby as I was heading to dinner. I later went to a restaurant at a different hotel and saw him again. I decided to approach him and congratulate him on his success. It was really loud, so I tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. I am aware of the players statement where he mentions I grabbed him from behind but I simply tapped him on the shoulder. His security then back handed me in the face without looking back, in front of a crowd. Nearly knocking me down and causing my glasses off my face.
Spears also noted that she was swarmed by a group of 20 fans the same night and didnt have her security team hit any of them. She requested a public apology from Wembanyama, the Spurs and their security: This story is super embarrassing to share with the world but its out there already. However, I think its important to share this story and to urge people in the public eye to set an example and treat all people with respect. Physical violence is happening too much in this world. Often behind closed doors. I stand with all the victims and my heart goes out to all of you!!! have yet to get a public apology from the player, his security or their organization. I hope they will
[From Yahoo Sports]
TMZ reports that the Vegas police are taking this seriously and they might pursue charges, not against Victor, but against this security guy. Like? I realize that there are a lot of fans who don?t know how to act right and it can get really scary for celebrities and athletes. I get that there is a genuine need for people to have security around them in public areas. But when your security guy is backhanding women who merely tap you on the shoulder? That?s wrong. It should not be normalized, this casual violence.
