I know there are a lot of big Blake Lively fans out there, so I?ll try to be as nice as possible, even though Blake and her allure of antebellum pluck my last nerve. Blake?s promotion for It Ends With Us began last week, and she?s using the movie promotion to also launch her haircare line, Blake Brown. Blake stepped into an executive producer role for It Ends With Us, and she?s actually co-EP with author Colleen Hoover. Meaning, Hoover had a big say in how her book was adapted for the screen. This should make fans of the book happy. Months/years after BookTok made IEWU into a massive hit, I was basically the last one to figure out that the core story is actually about domestic violence. Like, it?s not a straight romance it?s a story about abuse.
Blake?s character in IEWU is named Lily Bloom. Guess what Lily Bloom does for a living? She co-owns some kind of florist?s shop. If you need to be bashed over the head with this, Blake?s promotional fashion tour features a lot of florals and flowery designs and prints. Last week and over the weekend, Blake did a promo blitz which included some cute dresses and one completely wacky ensemble which involved clashing prints. Awful.
Here?s a Dauphinette look this is one of her few looks we have access to, photo-wise. You can see the Mail?s fashion coverage here. I wonder if Blake thought she was doing a really big fashion tour which would dominate the celebrity/fashion media, but not enough paparazzi turned up? Because that?s what it feels like.

For the past two months, the vibes have been horrendous when it comes to Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Initially, it seemed like they were having issues and they just needed a break from each other, or maybe they just needed to reconnect and work on their marriage. Then Jennifer flew to the Hamptons and Ben stayed in LA. Rumors abound that their marriage ?has been over for months? and they have ?deeper issues? beyond Ben?s discomfort with J.Lo?s fame. Then on J.Lo?s birthday last week, Ben stayed away. Not only that, but he closed escrow on his new bachelor pad ON her birthday. As I?ve said throughout the week, I truly believe a divorce announcement will happen soon. The Daily Mail believes the same:
Jennifer Lopezs love may not cost a thing, but her divorce to Ben Affleck sure will. Friends have claimed to DailyMail.com the 51-year-old Last Duel actor and the superstar singer, 55, are once again pushing ahead with divorce after a final attempt at reconciliation in recent weeks failed.
The couples divorce documents are finalized, but not yet turned in, multiple sources have claimed.
The news follows Affleck buying a new $20.5 million bachelor pad mansion in the Pacific Palisades on Wednesday, July 24, the day Lopez turned 55. Friends of Lopezs claimed Afflecks sudden bachelor pad purchase on her birthday had been a stab to the heart.
July 24 also marked the day Lopez also finalized the sale of her four-bedroom New York City penthouse for $23 million, People reported.
?They finalized the divorce papers with her a month ago, but are waiting for the right time to drop them, one source close to the duo claimed. At that time, they will release a joint statement that will say how they have much love for each other and how they fought to make it work, but couldnt. Honestly, in the end they could not come to a compromise. What they had before is gone and they have both accepted it, another source claimed.
[From The Daily Mail]
Oh god, what if Ben told Jennifer that she can announce their divorce in her On The JLo newsletter? What if she?s been putting it off because she still believes they can reconcile? I don?t know. I hate to say it, but I actually think the Mail is correct I think Ben and Jen have already worked out everything behind the scenes and they?re just waiting for the right moment to drop the news. I think their marriage really is over. It?s really sad. Jennifer must be devastated, honestly. I hate to do this, but I?m once again using the photos from the This Is Me? Now premiere in February, which is where many of us got our first inkling that Ben had checked out of this marriage big-time.

The saga of Kevin Costner?s Horizon: An American Saga continues? For those who haven?t been paying attention to Horizon (of which there are many), a quick recap: Costner walked away from his $3 million-an-episode gig with Yellowstone to film his passion project, which he stars in, directs, co-wrote, and produced with $38 million of his own money and a mortgage on his Carpinteria mansion. Oh, and his great vision for Horizon was a series of four films, each with a running time of two-to-three hours. The great payoff for Costner would be when audiences flocked to see the first installment, H:AAS ? Chapter One. If you film it, they will come. Only the people didn?t come, and the critics who had to see the movie panned it. Chapter One bombed so badly that the second film lost its mid-August release date. But I guess Costner has been working the phones, because lo and behold, H:AAS ? Chapter Two will now premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September:
Kevin Costner?s ?Horizon: An American Saga ? Chapter Two? is set to world premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September after its U.S. release was pulled.
The Western epic?s second chapter was scrapped earlier this month from its planned Aug. 16 release in U.S. theaters after ?Horizon?s? first installment, which carried a $100 million budget, earned only $11 million on its opening weekend.
?Chapter Two? ? which Costner again directs and stars in alongside Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jena Malone and Danny Huston ? will bow on the Lido out-of-competition on Sept. 7. The world premiere will be preceded earlier the same day by a screening of the first ?Horizon? movie, which launched from Cannes in May to a seven-minute standing ovation.
New Line Cinema?s ?Horizon: An American Saga? is a multi-faceted depiction of the Civil War expansion and settlement of the American West. In addition to directing and starring, Costner served as a co-writer with Jon Baird (?The Explorers Guild?) and produced through his Territory Pictures.
?My dream was always to show ?Horizon: An American Saga ? Chapter Two? at the Venice Film Festival,? Costner said in a statement. ?The fact that now they have decided to show ?Chapter One? earlier in the day and then the world premiere of ?Chapter Two? that evening shows not only their belief in how the two films work together but their support of a director?s vision. I?m indebted to Alberto Barbera for his courage and leadership in committing to this cinematic journey.?
Added Barbera: ?It is a great pleasure and honor to host the world premiere of the chapter two of ?Horizon: An American Saga,? alongside its chapter one. This late addition to the lineup of the Venice Film Festival pays a heartfelt and respectful tribute to the visionary project of a great actor and director, who invested himself in the epic reconstruction of the years crucial to the found of the country, digging beyond myth in search of authenticity capable of restoring a piece of history in its complex and contradictory reality.?
In Variety?s review of the first film, chief film critic Owen Gleiberman wrote: ?Instead of unfurling a Western saga in a solid powerful arc, Costner serves up three hours of anecdotes, cross-cutting among groups of characters, dropping in on situations that are dropped just as quickly, taking a skittery overview of life on the range, and asking the audience, in many cases, to stitch together the backstory of what they?re seeing.?
[From Variety]
That was a slick move by Variety to reprint their lukewarm review at the end there. Also slick, or at least curiously worded, was Venice Film Festival Director Alberto Barbera slipping into his statement that Horizon is a ?late addition to the lineup.? And Costner finagled not only the world premiere of Chapter Two, but also a screening of Chapter One earlier in the day? I hope there?s a decent break between the films! I once went to a double feature of The Godfather I & II in a single day; there were five hours between the start times. The tight turnaround was intense, but it was an offer I couldn?t refuse! (Thank you, thank you, I know that was well done.) Bear in mind, also, that Costner is supposedly just starting production on the third film, and who knows about the fourth. In the meantime, I?m assuming Signore Barbera will soon be moving into Costner?s Carpinteria mansion. That was the bargaining chip, si?

Matt Damon has a new movie, out on AppleTV this month. The Instigators stars Damon, Casey Affleck, Jack Harlow (!!), Ving Rhames, Hong Chau, Alfred Molina and more. I?m including the trailer below it reminds me a bit of The Town, which was (arguably) Ben Affleck?s best directorial effort. It?s like ?what if The Town was funny and the thieves had a therapist??
Last night was the big premiere, and Matt brought his whole family out. His mom was there, his wife Luciana was there, and he posed with their four daughters. Matt Damon has been a girl-dad this whole time and I was like ?wait, his daughters are that old already??? From People, their daughters and their ages: Isabella, 18, Gia, 15, and Stella, 13, plus 24-year-old Alexia, who is Luciana?s daughter from a previous relationship (Matt raised Alexia and considers her one of his four kids). The girls are beautiful and they?re all sort of spectacular blends of Matt and Luciana? They got Matt?s cheekbones but with Luciana?s coloring and hair.
Also: Luciana apparently produced The Instigators and she ?convinced? Matt to step into the role. I?m trying not to remember all of the dumb sh-t Matt has said over the years, and I just hope this promotional tour goes well and he doesn?t remind everyone of all of his gaffes.

The Paris Olympics held their opening ceremony on Friday, to mostly rave reviews. Even French people were like ?WTF? at some parts of it, so you can imagine what Kelly Clarkson and Peyton Manning NBC?s special Olympic commentators had to say about it. I will say this, it was a great idea to have Kelly doing the opening ceremony because she was nerding out about all of the music. Kelly was such a cheerleader for Lady Gaga, Celine Dion and the French musical acts who were featured in the very long-winded and rain-soaked ceremony.
For the Americans (I think these videos are geoblocked), you can see Celine Dion?s performance on the Eiffel Tower here, and you can see Lady Gaga?s performance here (NBC is blocking the videos from being embedded too). Celine overcame significant health issues to be able to perform at the Olympics, and almost everyone who watched that was moved to tears. Her performance of E?dith Piafs L?Hymne a? l?amour was so special. The French fans and all of the tourists in Paris have been giving Celine flowers and just showering her with love all week.
One of the craziest moments and something which is still being discussed is the whole ?singing beheaded Marie Antoinette? thing. They really did that. Not only that, they had the ?Marie Antoinette? thing staged at the Conciergerie, the real prison where she was held before she was beheaded. Apparently, Republicans are trying to turn ?Marie Antoinette being sent to the guillotine? into some kind of culture war in 2024. They?re all online, calling it disrespectful to Christians? Hm. People might need to step back and think about all of this.

It?s still sort of amazing to me that Sarah Ferguson has continued to receive invitations to glitzy charity balls and galas around the world. She really is a ?royal for hire? in that sense, although I?m not saying that Fergie lacks a charitable spirit. She shows up for charities consistently and good for her. But she?s also getting those invitations because of her title, because charities want someone with some kind of vague royal connection. So it was when Fergie got invited to the Knights Of Charity Gala at Chateau de la Croix des Gardes, in the south of France. She was even tasked with ?helping out? with an auction, and she decided to throw in a special offer. From Richard Eden?s Mail column:
King Charles is said to be determined to evict his brother Prince Andrew from Royal Lodge, but the Windsor residence has lost none of its cachet. For I can disclose that Sarah, Duchess of York, who lives at Royal Lodge with her ex-husband Andrew, used the 30-room mansion to lure a plutocrat into donating 100,000 euros [84,000] at a charity gala on the French Riviera this week. Fergie berated the audience at the Knights of Charity Gala at the Chateau de la Croix des Gardes, in Cannes, for lacking energy on Monday evening.
She then helped top auctioneer Simon de Pury raise money by volunteering to entertain a super-rich bidder at the royal residence which used to be home to Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
What Im offering is a unique experience with me, wherever you want to go in the world, whether it be Samoa, or whether you come with me in one of my charity adventures, or it could be in London or at the Royal Lodge, she told guests, who included the Hollywood star Orlando Bloom. Anywhere you want to go. You dont know where youre going to end up, but itll always be something different.
The duchess, 64, wore a monochrome gown complete with black opera gloves, which she said was a style tribute to Alfred Hitchcocks 1955 film To Catch a Thief, which starred Cary Grant and Grace Kelly. It was filmed at the chateau where the gala was held in partnership with Ulyssia.
I like the theme, you know, of Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly, she tells me. And I can wear my gloves. No, I dont feel hot in them, I love them. I think its rather nice to keep up with this. I just like wearing gloves.
Fergie will resume her Australia book tour in November, after cancelling her scheduled appearance at a literary festival in Perth the previous month because she didnt want to clash with the King and Queen Camillas visit Down Under.
[From The Daily Mail]
While there?s definitely a sleazy element to this, I don?t know, it was for charity?? That?s the whole reason she was there, to be loud and to convince people to donate more. ?You dont know where youre going to end up, but itll always be something different.? Fergie is so wild. But yeah, she should probably stop offering up private dinners at Royal Lodge in exchange for cash, even if that cash is going to charity. Because we know that she probably still offers access to the Windsors for cash privately too. That being said, King Charles does the exact same thing only much worse.

Several years ago, JD Vance thought it would be a good idea to repeatedly mock and disrespect ?childless women.? Vance?s Christofascist argument was that ?childless women? don?t have any ?stake? in the future of America, and that the country is being run by ?childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they?ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too.? America should be so lucky as to be run by childless cat ladies we are compassionate, we have disposable income and we have TIME. Anyway, Vance?s comments have been making the rounds again because Trump picked Vance as his running mate. Trump?s team barely vetted Vance, and Vance has gone down poorly in MAGA world and beyond. Those particular comments about ?childless cat ladies? have become a real pop culture moment this week, so much so that Jennifer Aniston a childfree dog mom decided to chime in:
Jennifer Aniston is hitting back at comments about politicians who are childless cat ladies made by Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance, which have recently gone viral.
The Morning Show star, 55, on Wednesday took to her Instagram Stories and posted a screenshot of a social media post in which Ron Filipkowski, editor-in-chief of the MeidasTouch Network, shared a 2021 Tucker Carlson Tonight interview clip with Vance.
JD Vance says women who haven?t given birth like Kamala Harris are childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives, and have no direct stake in America, Filipkowski wrote alongside the 28-second clip.
I truly cant believe this is coming from a potential VP of the United States, Aniston wrote. All I can say is? Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day. I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because you are trying to take that away from her, too.
[From USA Today]
This wasn?t even as hard as Aniston could have gone on Vance, given her own personal story. Aniston has been the subject of decades of womb-speculation, and Aniston has very strong opinions on men with opinions on her childfree status.
Meanwhile, this whole ?childless cat lady? issue is a ticking time bomb for Republicans and I?m not sure they even know how bad it?s going to get. Taylor Swift?s fans are just waiting for her much-anticipated endorsement so they can unleash hell on Trump and Vance. There was this great clip from The View as well:
Former Trump aide @Alyssafarah: This JD Vance clip claiming childless people shouldn't be in politics is offending so many of my lifelong Republican friends. If you're a woman of my age, the most common thing my friends are dealing with is infertility. Miscarriages, those? pic.twitter.com/zNmFEXXkzw

Over the Fourth of July long-weekend, Brad Pitt turned up at the British Grand Prix. His girlfriend of almost two years, Ines de Ramon, was with him. It was actually their first major public outing together, at a public event where there were photographers all around. She was seemingly only there with him for one day, and then he was seen around the racetrack, filming his dumb F1 movie. In recent days, he?s been in Budapest, still working on the same fakakta movie. But I digress back to Ines and Brad. And Angelina Jolie. In recent weeks, there?s been a sudden influx of stories about the Brangelina divorce and their six kids and all of their legal dramas. If I was in Ines?s shoes, I wouldn?t want any part of that man, especially after seeing what he?s putting his ex-wife through. But Ines is in it to win it. Or something. From Us Weekly:
Brad Pitt?s romance with girlfriend Ines de Ramon is heating up, but that doesn?t mean he?ll be down on one knee anytime soon.
?There?s no rush. Brad and Ines both feel like they?ve met their soulmate,? a source exclusively reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly. A second insider adds that neither Pitt, 60, nor de Ramon, 31, is ?pushing for an engagement? because they feel confident in their connection.
?They know how serious they are [about each other]; they don?t need rings to prove it,? the source explains.
After staying largely under the radar since they were first linked in November 2022, Pitt and de Ramon walked hand in hand while arriving at the British Grand Prix in Northampton, England, on July 7. Despite the public appearance as a couple, the first source notes that Pitt and de Ramon have found ways to ensure that their relationship stays personal.
?Brad and Ines have mastered the art of balancing Brad?s high-profile public life with their private relationship,? the insider says. ?They enjoy low-key date nights that allow them to unwind and connect. They often cook together, and movie nights are another favorite.?
The duo took a big step earlier this year when de Ramon moved into Pitt?s home. The second source shares that they?ve been ?beyond happy? ever since.
?Brad loves how easygoing and smart Ines is,? the insider says. ?They connect on an intellectual level as well as physical.?
Despite the family rift, de Ramon has hopes that Pitt will ?patch things up with Angelina,? another source told Us in May. ?Ines is very zen and doesn?t like conflict or negativity,? the insider shared, noting the difference from Pitt?s ?always serious? relationship with Jolie. ?Ines [wants] Brad to find peace, forgive and move on. From her perspective, it doesn?t make sense for him to hold on to all the animosity.?
[From Us Weekly]
?From her perspective, it doesn?t make sense for him to hold on to all the animosity.? I can only imagine how he rants about Angelina in private. Ines is probably sick of it. As for the stuff about how they?re not rushing into marriage? while the Jolie-Pitt divorce was bifurcated and they?re both legally single, the divorce has not been finalized. I?ve also seen the speculation random online sh-t that Brad and Ines want to have a child together, or that she?s looking to get pregnant. If any of that happens, I will feel so bad for her. Honestly. Meanwhile, Ines is forcing this man-child to bathe regularly too. She?s also getting credit for dressing him up in big-boy clothes.
Brad Pitt was teased for years about supposed poor hygiene including serious BO problems, but sources say he?s totally cleaned up his act thanks to Ines de Ramon who?s got him smelling like a rose.
?He?s really reformed for Ines,? a source exclusively told In Touch. ?Brad used to be quite lackadaisical about taking showers and washing his hair, and only wanting to use soap and water when he did shower and refusing to use deodorant or cologne. He?d often go a day or two without bathing, which is astonishing given he?s such a huge sex symbol, but with Ines, it?s a different story,? the insider explains. ?He?s gone out of his way to change his smelly ways.?
The source says that the couple?s favorite thing to do together is yoga, followed by either a shower or a dip in the pool.
?Brad?s generally paying more attention to clothes he wears and letting her pick out his cologne. She?s even got him flossing his teeth,? the insider concludes. ?Now, they love to go out and get pampered at the spa together, like massages and facials. He loves moisturizers and skin creams too; he?s upped his game in this area to everyone?s relief.?
[From In Touch Weekly]
This motherfker is 60 years old and his girlfriend has to encourage him to FLOSS?? That?s disgusting. The smelly Pitt stuff is real though plenty of people have said for years that he smells bad or that he?s lacking in personal hygiene. Gross.

| | Sydney Sweeney's phone and Twitter account were hacked by cryptoscammers | | Added 421 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

On July 2, actress Sydney Sweeny?s X account was hacked by crypto scammers who used it to promote one of those crypto meme scams. This is the second time this year that Syndey?s account was hacked. Back in January, her account was hijacked to promote a different crypto meme coin. Unfortunately, Sydney?s cell phone number was also hacked at the same time as her Twitter account. After a picture of a Verizon receipt in Sydney?s name was posted online, it was determined that she?s also a victim of SIM swapping. Essentially, SIM swapping is when hackers take control of someone?s phone number, meaning all their phone calls, text messages, etc. will move over to a new device that the hacker controls.
Sydney Sweeney?s cellphone number was hijacked the same day hackers took over her X account to promote a crypto meme coin scam, according to a new report. A copy of a Verizon Wireless receipt from July 2 was posted online and obtained by technology news site 404 Media, showing that someone made changes to the ?Euphoria? star?s account.
?Hi Sydney Sweeney, Thank you for your order,? the paper read. ?If you have any question [sic], please feel free to contact me.?
An iPhone and its box were next to the receipt in the photo.
The outlet speculated that the Emmy nominee, 26, was ?a victim of SIM swapping, where hackers take over a target?s phone number and reroute text messages and phone calls to a device that the attackers control.?
Page Six has reached out to Sweeney?s reps for comment.
A Verizon spokesperson, Richard Young, said in a statement to 404 Media that he could not ?discuss a specific customer situation? but added, ?Verizon takes customer privacy and account security very seriously. When an issue is brought to our attention, we work quickly to investigate and remediate the issue, and work to ensure it doesn?t happen again.?
The date listed on the receipt was the same day Sweeney?s X account was hacked by someone tweeting about cryptocurrency.
?Well I think it?s time $sweeney is now live 100mc incoming,? wrote the hackers on the actress?s account. ?At 10mc, 10% of the supply will be burnt.?
The post also included a link that directed users to a newly created Pump.fun meme coin that the hackers claimed was from Sweeney.
The cyberterrorists also told the ?Immaculate? star?s 1 million followers that she would be ?going live on spaces soon? to show ?what $sweeney can do.?
The hackers?s tweets didn?t stay up for long, as Sweeney reclaimed her account and deleted all traces of the crypto scams. In fact, the ?Anyone But You? star?s X page shows that her last message was posted in May to promote her forthcoming film, in which she?ll be portraying boxer Christy Martin.
Sweeney is part of a long list of stars whose social media accounts have recently been hijacked by hackers. Rappers 50 cent, Doja Cat and Rich the Kid and former wrestler Hulk Hogan were also victims of the hacks.
[From Page Six]
Ugh, I feel terrible for her. It?s such a gross invasion of privacy. I hope she doesnt have any other problems, like them hacking into her iCloud Photos or Apple wallet. I would be beyond angry if someone did this to me. It makes me worried to know that AT&T was hacked a few weeks ago and the hackers got access to ?nearly all? of their customers? records. As an AT&T cellular customer, I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop on that one. I know it?s probably unlikely to track down who hacked her account and swapped SIM cards, but I hope there?s a way to do it. The crypto scams have gotten out-of-control on both Elon Musk?s platform and Instagram. Over the past few years, I?ve had a few people in my life whose Instagram accounts got hacked and it was hard to get them back. For a family member, whoever hacked their account still constantly posts those spammy things. I hope something can be done about it, with legislation or other official channels.

Here are some photos of Keanu Reeves this week in New York, and some pics of Keanu performing with his band, Dogstar, at the Rock im Park festival in Germany back in June. Keanu remains the coolest, and I have to admit, his hair is really working for me these days. I love scruffy men, but I love it even more when a scruffy guy cleans up his look just enough. Like, he still has a beard but he recently trimmed it. His hair is just the right length too. Anyway, Keanu is currently promoting his first novel! He collaborated with British sci-fi author China Mieville on The Book of Elsewhere. It?s based on the ?hugely successful BRZRKR comic book series created by Reeves,? per the BBC, who interviewed Mieville and Reeves. Some highlights:
Keanu thinks about death: Im 59, so Im thinking about death all the time.? Thats a good thing, he adds. Hopefully its not crippling, but hopefully its sensitised [us] to an appreciation of the breath we have, and the relationships that we have the potential to have.
Creating the BRZRKR comic book series: I love the images. I love words and storytelling and I love the way that you can have this engagement that overlays. And so you can look at the art and then you can follow the story. The actor plays down his role in the collaborative process though, insisting: I didnt write a novel. China wrote a novel.
Whether he thinks writing about violence will lead to violence irl: I hope if they read BRZRKR, that they dont go out and start ripping peoples arms off and chopping their heads off. Because theres also a love story in it. But if you do read it, I hope maybe you can find love if you dont have it.
Creation & pain: Maybe ultimately the fantasy of building another world brings some kind of comfort in some way. Theres something ultimately about the creative gesture that comes from pain. Creating stuff is great. Just creating, sharing, and hopefully people like the stories that we tell.
He doesn?t give away all of his stuff, despite reports to the contrary: I love owning things, I love having stuff. Im certainly not going to present myself as someone who gives everything away.
[From BBC]
Is Keanu Reeves the perfect man, yes or no? I don?t think he?s perfect, actually, but I think he?s the best person to come out of the crazy 1980s/90s Hollywood scene. He survived, he stayed grounded, humble and compassionate, and he?s continued to do work which makes him happy. I think people miss the fact that he?s genuinely very artsy because he makes so many commercial films. He has all of these amazing side-projects and such a wide variety of interests and passions. Such a cool guy. And yes, as you get older, you just think about death a lot. Incidentally, did you know that Keanu and Kamala Harris are the same age? Their birthdays are about seven weeks apart (he?s a Virgo, she?s a Libra).
