Over the weekend, Will Smith posted a video of himself doing the ?Anxiety Dance? with Tatyana Ali and Doechii. If you aren?t familiar with the Anxiety Dance, it?s a TikTok trend where people do the dance from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air to a clip of Doechii?s ?Anxiety, which samples the melody from Gotyes Somebody That I Used to Know. It was started by a TikToker named Mimiola Olatunji.
Anyway, Tatyana, Will, and Doechii recreated the famous scene where Will catches Ashley dancing while wearing headphones and dances along with her. Obviously, the clip went viral. And, now that Will has everyone?s attention, he?s announced that he?s dropping a new hip hop album for the first time in 20 years! Based on a True Story has 14 new tracks and will be out in two weeks, on March 28.
Will Smith has announced the date that his latest album will be released as his imminent return to the world of hip-hop continues after a 20-year hiatus. The actor-rapper-producer shared the news on Instagram on Sunday, writing in a post that his new album is scheduled for release in two weeks.
?It?s OFFICIAL!! My new album, Based on a True Story, drops on March 28. TWO WEEKS!! Hit that presave. Been working on this project for a minute and I?m itchin? to get it out to y?all ?,? Smith posted on the social media platform to his 69.5 million followers.
The 14-track album will reunite Smith with DJ Jazzy Jeff and feature collaborations with Teyana Taylor and Jac Ross. Smith released a single, ?Beautiful Scars,? that features Big Sean and Obangain, in January.
The iconic comic and dramatic actor, and an Oscar winner for 2021?s King Richard, Smith has risen to the level of a multi-hyphenate pop culture phenomenon over his career, which began with rap music. He emerged from the fledgling hip-hop scene in the late 1980s as half of the duo DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince with instant classics like ?Parents Just Don?t Understand? and ?Girls Ain?t Nothing but Trouble,? both of which came with videos that enjoyed heavy MTV rotation.
Smith?s long-running hit NBC sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, featured his rapping, and as his Hollywood career took off, his music career flourished in tandem. At times, his franchise and Hollywood blockbuster movies, including Wild Wild West and Men in Black, featured a title track from Smith. His hip-hop career hit a peak with 1997?s Big Willie Style; he released three more records, Willennium (1999), Born to Reign (2002) and Lost and Found (2005), before putting down the mic to focus on his career in film as an actor and producer.
As an icon of entertainment for the last several decades, Smith is still, for many, rehabilitating his reputation after the shocking moment at the 2022 Academy Awards. This notorious Oscars moment saw the actor walk onstage and slap Chris Rock across the face following a joke the comedian made about Smith?s wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith. The fallout of that moment tarnished Smith?s reputation and led to him being banned from the Oscars for 10 years.

Thoughts on Will coming out with a new album? Other than Emancipation and last year?s Bad Boys: Ride or Die, he?s been laying relatively low since the Oscars slap, so it makes sense that his reemergence is a pivot back to music. I?m an Elder Millennial, so Fresh Prince, Men in Black, and Will?s first three albums all happened when I was in middle school thru high school. It?s cool, but also not surprising at all that he?s working with Jazzy Jeff again. Clearly, they work well together. When Will released ?Beautiful Scars? a few months ago, I just figured he was using music to work through some things. It never occurred to me that he was recording a whole new album. Maybe I?m wrong, but I think this type of comeback will be well-received. Enough time has passed and he?s going through a different door.
Will also announced a world tour on Monday. It kicks off this summer with dates in Europe and the UK. Presale begins on Wednesday, March 19 and general sales are on Friday, March 21. Interesting! Alright, Mr. Smith. I?m intrigued.

| | Gwyneth Paltrow drank more during the LA fires, which made her menopause worse | | Added 59 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Since the election, I?ve been thinking a lot about drinking. I?ve been sober for more than a decade, and I acknowledge all of the benefits no more hangovers, no more empty calories, no more headaches, no more alcohol-infused messy situations, no more shame, no more regrets. But yeah, the past four months have been incredibly rough and I completely understand how some people have fallen off the wagon. I completely understand why even non-alcoholics are drinking more than ever too. Gwyneth Paltrow is opening up about her drinking she?s always enjoyed a glass of wine or a cocktail, but her drinking apparently got a lot worse during the Southern California fires. Apparently, menopause is compounding everything too.
Gwyneth Paltrow says her menopause symptoms were made worse by alcohol ? and she drank ?every night? during the outbreak of wildfires in Los Angeles. Paltrow, 52, had a frank conversation about menopause on the March 4 episode of the Goop podcast with guest Dr. Mary Clare Haver, a board-certified OB-GYN and author of the New York Times bestseller The New Menopause.
?Im really in the thick of it right now, so Im all over the place,? Paltrow said of her symptoms. ?But I noticed my symptoms are, like, pretty well under control unless, you know, in January when the fires were happening in L.A. Ive, like, used alcohol for its purpose.?
The Academy Award winner previously said she was in ?deep grief? over the wildfires, which broke out in Southern California in January. Paltrow lives in Los Angeles with her husband Brad Falchuk, whom she married in September 2018. While she shared that they were safe from the wildfires, ?so many of our close friends have lost everything.?
It was during this time, Paltrow says, ?I think I drank every night. I was medicating. Normally, now at this point, I dont drink a lot at all. Maybe Ill have one drink a week,? she said, adding that drinking every night impacted her menopause symptoms. ?My symptoms were completely out of control. It was the first time I really noticed, like, causation in that way.?
?Lots of my patients say the same thing. Theyve really just spontaneously realized that theyve cut back on alcohol or just quit altogether because it just hasnt been worth it. They dont bounce back the same way. It stays in our system a lot longer,? said Haver, who penned the foreword for Naomi Watts? book about menopause, Dare I Say It: Everything I Wish Id Known about Menopause.
Paltrow shared that shes been struggling with insomnia, explaining, ?Ive always been a real sleeper? but after menopause, ?I went through a particularly bad time with it. There were nights where my anxiety ? like, I just thought it meant, ?Oh, youre not gonna be able to sleep because you dont have enough progesterone or whatever,? ? she explained about what she expected from menopause-induced insomnia. But instead, ?It wasnt that. I would just wake up [and] I would get crushed with anxiety, which Ive never had in my life. And I would lie in bed thinking about every mistake Ive ever made, every persons feelings I ever hurt, like, every bad, you know, And I would be up, like, for six hours. It was crazy.?
[From People]
Or they would ?just quit altogether because it just hasnt been worth it. They dont bounce back the same way. It stays in our system a lot longer.? It?s true once you get out of your early 20s, it just gets harder to recover or feel ?normal? and that keeps getting worse and worse as you get older. I did a marathon of Sex and the City over the holidays and I was like? how are they all drinking so much in their 30s?? As for Gwyneth?s drinking exacerbating her menopause, I absolutely believe that and I?m sure the same would happen to me if I picked up a bottle right now.

| | Kim Kardashian: Kris Humphries only paid for a fifth of my engagement ring | | Added 61 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

One of my (many) unpopular gossip opinions is that Kim Kardashian?s 72-day marriage and divorce to Kris Humphries was funny and relatable, and it even made her slightly sympathetic. It was so obvious (to me) what happened there: Kim freaked out about turning 30 years old and decided to run off and marry the first guy she came across, then she tried to convince herself that she wanted Kris Humphries and everything he wanted, and then it all fell apart quickly after the wedding. Like, minus the reality show and the wedding special, I always thought a lot of women could relate to the birthday freakout and the ?briefly convincing themselves that a douchebag they barely know was the One.? Well, Kim has one more regret about the Humphries marriage: she let him have the Lorraine Schwartz engagement ring, even though he only paid for a fifth of it.
Kim Kardashian might have one lingering regret from her swift divorce from Kris Humphries. The SKIMS founder was famously married to the former NBA player for just 72 days in 2011, and on the March 13 episode of The Kardashians, she reflected on the engagement ring he gave her ? or, more accurately, she got herself.
As she mused to her sister Khlo Kardashian, Kim, 44, said, I wonder what my next ring shape will be ? on my last and final hoorah, before taking a trip down memory lane to revisit each of her three engagement rings.
?Number one was a cushion cut, 14-karat, she said, referring to her four-year marriage to Damon Thomas. Her second engagement ring, which Humphries proposed to her with, was an 18-karat emerald cut from Lorraine Schwartz, she said.
I didn?t keep that, she revealed. I was pregnant with [daughter] North [West], still married to him and in order to divorce him, he said I had to give him the ring in my divorce, she explained of Humphries. The demand was made worse when Kim noted that she was the one who bought the ring. He contributed a fifth, she clarified.
Jesus, her hairstylist and friend Chris Appleton said after hearing the story, which he called savage.
Schwartz ? who was with Kim and Khlo as well on their trip to Mumbai for the July 2024 Ambani wedding, which the episode documented ? told Kim it was for the best that she got rid of the ring. But I would?ve loved a collection, she admitted.
[From People]
Like many jewelry lovers, Kim worships Elizabeth Taylor, who was famously married eight times (to seven men, Richard Burton got a repeat). Something I learned from Taylor?s My Love Affair with Jewelry is that Liz didn?t keep most of her engagement rings either, although she kept the biggest, the Krupp diamond (she sold the ring she got from Mike Todd though). While it would be nice to have a huge collection of rings for all of one?s husbands, it?s probably not that realistic, I?m just saying. As for Kris Humphries demanding the ring? what a loser. I mean, granted, Kim probably followed the ?etiquette? around returning the ring (given she was the one who ended the marriage), but Kris really had some audacity to demand the ring in exchange for granting the divorce.

Back in January, Carole Middleton turned 70 years old and there were about a dozen major articles about her life and times. The British press praised her, but they also left enough room to let everyone know that Carole has manipulated, schemed and defrauded her way into the top echelons of society. One of the most interesting pieces was the Daily Mail?s Richard Eden ?remembering? how he spoke to Carole once back in 2008 and he repeated what they discussed at the time. It was a curious admission that Carole had long briefed the press personally. Well, now Eden is remembering another incident, this time from 2007. He and then-Kate Middleton attended the same event and he chatted with her AND overheard her conversation.
Her impressive appearance this week made me think back many years to the first occasion I met Catherine ? or Kate Middleton, as she was known by everyone then. It was at the launch party for Simon Sebag Montefiore?s biography Young Stalin in 2007, when Catherine had briefly split from Prince William.
Catherine, then aged 25, attended the event with her sister, Pippa Middleton, and chatted to me in a group with Sebag Montefiore?s sister-in-law, the TV presenter Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, who sadly died a decade later at the age of 45.Tara, the daughter of two of King Charles?s closest friends, Charles and Patti Palmer-Tomkinson, had known Prince William since he was a little boy and was not shy about speaking intimately about him to Catherine at the party at Asprey jewellers in Mayfair.
While I made small-talk to Catherine about Montefiore?s book and how she knew the author, Tara, typically, got straight down to what everyone really wanted to know about: Catherine?s break-up with William. The split had been a big story since it was disclosed a few months earlier.
?How are you doing?? Tara asked her.
Catherine replied, ?Fine?, and started blushing.
?It must be so hard? Tara persisted.
?Really, it?s fine,? Catherine replied, firmly, if uncomfortably.
She made clear with her body language that she didn?t wish to discuss the subject, and the conversation moved swiftly on to happier and less fraught matters. At that time, Catherine was seen as a party-loving girlfriend of William, but my first encounter with her taught me that she was a tough cookie who wasn?t going to be inveigled into saying something she didn?t want to say.
Indeed, she reminded me of members of the Royal Family, much older than herself, who have the uncanny ability to make small-talk with anyone (even tiresome social diarists) without giving anything anyway. They usually manage to turn the conversation around and force the questioner do the talking.
Fortunately for the future of the Royal Family, Catherine was reunited with William a couple of months after I met her. Although she has changed in many ways since our fleeting first encounter becoming, for example, a confident public speaker there was a hint of that inner steel which has stood her so well in the years since.
[From The Daily Mail]
Just for some royal history and Waity history, when William dumped Kate in early 2007, she ran straight home to Carole and they worked out a ?get him back? plan which ended up being pretty successful. The plan involved Kate stepping out constantly in London, attending every event she could get into, going clubbing with William?s friends and projecting a ?I?m not heartbroken? vibe. Kate knew what she was doing by fending off ?sympathetic? questions from a close associate of the Windsors she knew that it would get back to William that she was unbothered and fine, and that she was out and about without a care in the world. Of course, I also believe Kate knew what she was doing by chatting with a Daily Mail reporter.

| | Brad Pitt 'is happy that the divorce is behind him' & 'happy' with Ines de Ramon | | Added 62 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Last December, there was a wealth of reporting mostly tabloid reporting about Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Ines de Ramon, divorce, money and the six kids who want nothing to do with Pitt. Some of Jolie?s fans thought that Pitt was organizing certain stories as a way to derail Angelina?s Oscar campaign. I thought there was something to that theory, although I also think that Hollywood was probably always going to ignore Jolie?s performance in Maria anyway, especially after Netflix stopped putting money into her campaign. Anyway, just days after Christmas, Angelina and Brad managed to finalize their divorce after eight-plus years. Pitt has been pretty quiet since then (other than this notable story). Now that the awards season is over, it?s time for Pitt to get back on track with his regular programming: reminding everyone that he has a girlfriend and that he and Ines are ?happy.?
Brad Pitt is looking ahead after his divorce from Angelina Jolie was finalized, a source tells PEOPLE. The F1 actor, 61, and the Maria star, 49, reached a divorce settlement in December 2024 after an eight-year legal battle.
Brad Pitt is happy that the divorce is behind him, a source tells PEOPLE on Wednesday, March 12. Things are low-key for the family.
The insider adds that Pitt is happy in his relationship with jewelry designer Ines de Ramon, whom he has been dating since late 2022.
They?re in a great place, the source says of the couple.
Pitt is also focused on his career as he prepares for the June 27 release of F1.
Life?s good, no complaints, continues the source.
Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt on Sept. 19, 2016, after two years of marriage. Shortly after their divorce was finalized, her divorce attorney, James Simon of Hersh Mannis, told PEOPLE on Dec. 30 that Jolie was exhausted but relieved that it was over. More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family, Simon said at the time. This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago. Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over.
[From People]
This reads like filler, but I guess this is probably the start of Brad?s ?promotion? for this long-gestating F1 film. He was filming that back in 2023, during the writers? strike and the actors? strike, and they were still filming it as late as December 2024 (which is insane, to have what amounts to an 18-month-long production). I don?t know obviously, this film is not for me, but it feels like they just spent a lot of time, money and effort on a film which is probably going to be a huge bomb? Maybe there will be a market for it. As for Brad?s happiness with Ines?I guess they?re about to ramp up their photo-ops?

| | Disney can't even do a real premiere for 'snow White' because of all the drama | | Added 63 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

I swear I pay attention to industry gossip, and I knew that Disney?s live-action remake of Snow White was beset with various controversies, but I didn?t know that it had gotten THIS bad. How bad? Disney can?t even host a real premiere in Los Angeles, and they can?t have an open red carpet with wide press coverage. Instead, the March 15th premiere will be limited to still photographers, no TV/media outlets and an in-house Disney team trying to put a bow on this catastrophic exercise. Variety listed all of the issues which are plaguing this movie and it?s a lot. This makes Karla Sofia Gascon?s social-media mess look quaint.
Disney is hosting a Hollywood premiere of ?Snow White? on March 15, but the studio won?t be rolling out a robust red carpet like it usually does. The afternoon festivities will include a pre-party and screening at the El Capitan Theatre with titular star Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, who plays the Evil Queen, expected to attend. However, the red carpet will not include the dozens of media outlets usually invited by Disney to interview the cast and creatives at its premieres. Instead, coverage will be limited to photographers and a house crew.
The studio did not comment for this story, but the scaled back plans come amid controversies surrounding the Marc Webb-directed film, which hits theaters March 21. Some toxic Disney fans questioned Snow White being played by Zegler when her casting was announced because she is a Latina actor. The ?West Side Story? star also faced backlash when she called the 1937 original ?dated? because the prince ?literally stalks Snow White.?
Peter Dinklage spoke out about the movie?s portrayal of little people for perpetuating negative stereotypes. ?Literally no offense to anything, but I was sort of taken aback,? he said on the ?WTF With Mark Maron? podcast in January 2024. ?They were very proud to cast a Latino actress as Snow White, but you?re still telling the story of ?Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.? Take a step back and look at what you?re doing there.? Shortly following Dinklage?s remarks, Disney said in a statement to ?Good Morning America,? ?To avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film, we are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community.?
World politics have also come into play. Zegler has promoted ?free Palestine? on social media. At the same time, Gadot, who is Israeli, has become an outspoken supporter of Israel on social media as well as in a passionate speech she delivered on March 4 when she was honored at the Anti-Defamation League?s annual summit in New York City. ?Never did I imagine that on the streets of the United States, and different cities around the world, we would see people not condemning Hamas, but celebrating, justifying and cheering on a massacre of Jews,? she said, in part. Gadot has stayed away from politics in the past, but has said she felt she needed to speak up after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack.
In February, several dozen pro-Palestine protesters gathered outside the Hollywood premiere of ?Captain America: Brave New World? and called for a boycott of the film over its inclusion of the Israeli superhero Ruth Bat-Seraph, aka Sabra, played by Israeli actress Shira Haas.
MAGA supporters also blasted Zegler for her reaction to Donald Trump?s reelection when she posted on Instagram, in part, ?May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace.? She apologized for her remarks two days later.
[From Variety]
I knew most of the Zegler stuff white supremacists are mad that a Latina was cast as Snow White, and those same white supremacists are unsurprisingly also pissed that Zegler thinks Donald Trump and his supporters are trash. I also knew about Peter Dinklage?s criticism and I still don?t really understand how Disney thought they could avoid a complete sh-tstorm by making this live-action adaptation and ?keeping? those seven characters. As for a political beef between Gadot and Zegler? Disney made them present together at the Oscars, so both women can make the effort to play nice when it suits them (or when it suits Disney). I strongly suspect that it?s not about the alleged Zegler-Gadot beef I think Disney is limiting the premiere access simply because they don?t want protesters out in force against Gadot specifically, like what happened at the Captain America premiere.

Imagine you?re an actress whos nominated and heavily favored to win at a well-known and highly photographed awards show. What?s the worst that can happen? You lose? The blogs put you on all of the Worst Dressed lists? The back of your dress rips when you win Best Actress? Well, Amanda Seyfried can tell you a good embarrassing award show story. Poor Amanda had an unfortunate wardrobe mishap at the 2023 Critics Choice Awards. While talking and joking around with Glen Powell, Amanda?s gorgeous vintage Dior dress, which had been ?falling apart? all night, fell apart for good. And it wasn?t a minor issue, either. Amanda?s breasts fell right out of that dress, right in front of Glen. Thankfully, Glen proved that chivalry isn?t dead by averting his eyes and quickly helping cover her up.
?My boobs fell out of my dress at the 2023 Critics Choice Awards,? 39-year-old actress [Amanda Seyfried] shares with PEOPLE in this week?s issue while discussing her lead role as Mickey in the new Peacock crime series Long Bright River.
Seyfried took home an award that year for her performance in The Dropout, but along with the trophy came an unexpected wardrobe mishap. ?I was wearing this amazing vintage dress. I made my stylist dress up in it before I went just for fun,? she recalls of the Dior Haute Couture gown.
She adds, ?It was kind of sewn together and it started truly falling apart, literally falling off of me on the red carpet, and I think there were even interviews where I?m saying it?s breaking off.?
It was when she was having a one-on-one conversation with Powell, 36, though, that things took a turn. ?I was talking to Glen Powell in the corner near my table, and we were joking around about something and I lifted my arms up, and my boobs were just out. My dress fell apart,? she shares.
Thankfully, Seyfried was in the company of a true gentleman. ?We both screamed, and like the gentleman he is, he covered me. He didn?t look? I think. None of us were expecting that, but that dress had truly just given up.?
When Seyfried went on stage to accept her award, she had to improvise. ?I ended up wearing someone elses jacket on stage,? she explains. ?Because, well, it would?ve just been my boobs.?
[From People]
Oh man, that?s so embarrassing and also pretty funny. Thank goodness Glen was so quick-thinking and understanding about it. It?s also cool that he never turned it into one of his go-to interview stories, but has respectfully kept it on the down low. That said, now that Amanda?s spoken about it publicly, I?m so curious to know how Glen will answer when he inevitably gets asked to talk about the incident from his, umm, point of view.
Amanda is right that there is a video of her on the red carpet talking about how the dress kept falling down. She even frustratingly joked that she was going to take it off. Its too bad, because I liked the dress! I actually remember Amanda appearing on stage with that black jacket. At the time, I figured that she was just cold! While having your dress break and boobs pop right out in front of a coworker is certainly embarrassing, it could have been so much worse. Her dress could have freed the girls while onstage accepting her award. That certainly would have made for a memorable night for everyone.

Natalie Portman apparently cannot quit the Frenchies. A year after finalizing her divorce from her cheating French husband Benjamin Millepied, Natalie has a new boyfriend. He?s French and he genuinely has the most French-guy name I think I?ve ever seen or heard? His name is Tanguy Destable. An American would pronounce that as written, Tan Guy D-Stable. Apparently, the French say it as ?taw-NEE? and I have no idea how they would pronounce his surname. Dah-stahb-la? Sigh? I wish Hilaria Baldwin was pretend-French so we could learn how to pronounce this stuff. Anyway, People Mag reports:
Natalie Portman has a new man in her life. One year after finalizing her divorce from ex-husband Benjamin Millepied, the 43-year-old Oscar winner is dating French musician and music producer Tanguy Destable, PEOPLE confirms.
French outlet Voici was the first to report news of Portmans relationship with Destable, whose stage name is Tepr, per the outlet.
The actress finalized her divorce from director/choreographer Millepied, whom she was married to for 11 years, in February 2024. The settlement came eight months after she quietly filed, in 2023, following reports of an extramarital affair by Millepied. Portman met Millepied, 47, on the set of her 2010 movie Black Swan. They wed in August 2012, and share two children: son Aleph, 13, and daughter Amalia, 8.
[From People]
Interesting note, maybe just to me, but Voici was the outlet which caught Millepied openly cheating on Natalie with his 25-year-old mistress. Like, Voici ran the photos. And now Voici was the first outlet to confirm that Natalie is dating Tanguy? Interesting. Maybe Voici just has really good sources in the French music/ballet/entertainment world. As for this guy? he?s different than what I would expect for Natalie, and honestly, I find him attractive he?s the grey-haired guy in the IG photo, below. I can also see the appeal for Natalie dating someone in music, who seems to be sort of adjacent to the film world but not really part of it.

Kate Hudson is currently starring in a Netflix series called Running Point. Kate plays Isla Gordon, a reformed party girl in her 30s who has to prove herself when she gets put in charge of her family?s professional basketball team, the Los Angeles Waves. It?s a Mindy Kaling series (she?s one of three co-creators) that was inspired by the LA Lakers president and controlling owner, Janie Buss. Brenda Song, Chet Hanks, Justin Theroux, Max Greenfield, and Jay Ellis are also in it.
Kate recently sat down with Bustle to talk about Running Point, family, her life philosophy and more. Now 45, Kate is such a free spirit that she?ll flirt with anyone. Thankfully, her fianc, Danny Fujikawa, is A-OK with it! It?s a lengthy interview and you can check out the full piece here. Here are some of the highlights:
Running Point is full of hotties: [W]orking on Running Point was like feasting at a heartthrob buffet. There was Max Greenfield at peak Nice Jewish Boy, Jay Ellis still sporting his Top Gun: Maverick abs, and Justin Theroux doing his best Hunter Biden (complimentary) as a dirtbag scion. ?I was like, ?What a dream! We have so many beautiful men to work with every day!?? Hudson tells me so enthusiastically it sounds like she might drop a hubba hubba. A relative newcomer, actor Toby Sandeman, made her full-on weak in the knees. ?I remember there?s a scene where he comes in in this white suit, and he actually took my breath away. I literally was like, ?Hi.??
She?ll flirt with anybody: ?I?m the biggest flirt on the planet. So I think anybody who?s ever been with me is very aware that I flirt with everybody ? girls, boys,? she says matter of factly. Her fianc, musician Danny Fujikawa, with whom she has daughter Rani, has learned to roll with it since they first met decades ago as friends. (Hudson also has a son with The Black Crowes? Chris Robinson and another son with Muse frontman Matt Bellamy.) ?Thank God Danny is my partner. He can handle this. I met the right guy.
Covid made her realize her need to be creative: ?In COVID, I realized that my creativity had been shut off for a long time. In those moments of fear, I was like, ?I?m not putting out what I want to be totally putting out right now.? Music was the big flashing red light for me,? she says of her debut pop-rock album, Glorious, which dropped last spring. (Entering the music industry in your 40s? That also takes guts.) ?I?m very clear about the things that I really want to be doing now in my life. Whether it?s good, whether it?s bad, I know how my machine wants to function.?
On parenting: ?As a parent, you want your kids to love themselves. You want them to know what the core of who they are is and to honor it, to love it, and to love themselves.? Sometimes parenting, however, means tough love. For example, she?s made sure her son Ryder is well aware of what will be required of him if he moves home after college. ?Hes like, ?I got to figure out what my life is going to look like and how I?m going to achieve the things that I want to achieve and how I can live. I think you should be teaching your kids those things way earlier on so that when they get to that point, they?re not like, ?Oh my God, how do I afford my life and not lean on my family???
On sex in your 40s: ?The best part about sex in your 40s, honestly, is the freedom. Sex isn?t supposed to be pretty. When you get older you kind of have more fun with that.?
She faces discomfort head-on: ?God, you?d be a sociopath if you just had the confidence to walk into anything or be fearless in everything,? she says. It?s just that, in those moments, she doesn?t try to shy away from discomfort. Hudson?s super power lies in her ability to take everything life throws her way in stride. ?Everybody?s different in what your challenges are,? she says, shaking her head playfully. ?We say challenges, not weaknesses ? even though they feel like weakness sometimes.?
Aries just wanna have fun: ?Let?s be honest, I?m a star sign person. I?m an Aries, and we?re the people that if you want to go have a good time, you?re like, ?Hey, are you down?? We?re like, ?Yes,?? Hudson says, grinning. Especially if, say, a locker room?s worth of men and their bulging biceps are what?s on the menu. ?I mean, on this set I was like, ?How lucky am I? This is not difficult.??

The whole interview is a vibe. Kate definitely gives off that force-of-nature energy. She?s so outgoing and seems like she?d be a fun person to hang out with. I have no trouble believing that she?s the kind of person who laughs in the face of discomfort and takes things in stride. I love what she has to say about realizing during Covid that her creativity had been shut off. I think that a lot of people used that time to explore personal or creative projects.
I also have no trouble believing that Kate?s a naturally flirty person who flirts with everyone she meets. It?s probably part of her rizz. I like that she put it out there about having more ?fun? with sex as you get older, I think that applies to so many things! I wish that someone had told me in my mid-20s not to worry so much about certain things because they don?t ?have? to be a certain way. It really is quite freeing.

The thing I unfortunately have to admit about Ben Affleck is that I totally believe that he can turn on the charm and really bamboozle his way into any woman?s heart. I believe Ben absolutely went all out to woo Jennifer Lopez back in 2021, and it worked. The thing is, Ben can only keep up the charm offensive for so long. He gets bored, or he changes his mind or he gets lazy within the relationship or something else. So Ben and J.Lo are done? for now. And it?s really looking like Ben is trying to charm his way back into the heart of the Other Jennifer, Jen Garner, his first ex-wife. Garner and Affleck have been divorced for a decade, and to their credit, they coparent peacefully and they still seem like very close friends. Suddenly, this week, all of these stories are popping up about how Ben wants to win Garner back and maybe he wants a second chance with her. Garner is like: lol, NO. Well, this curious little story popped up on People Mag:
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner continue to get along swimmingly, and the two have been spotted being playfully affectionate during recent outings.
They have been on good terms for a while now and seem to enjoy chatting and hanging out, a source tells PEOPLE of the former couple, who were most recently spotted sharing a laugh at son Samuels 13th birthday party Sunday, March 2. Most of the time, the kids are around too.
The source adds that Affleck, 52, usually acts happy around Garner, 52, who is currently dating John Miller, but he has been extra giddy lately, though, and much more affectionate.
The source says, She doesnt seem to mind. She seems to enjoy spending time with Ben, with whom she shares three kids.
A separate insider says Affleck is charming, adding, When hes doing well, he has great energy. Right now, Jen has only good things to say about him. She enjoys spending time with him, that insider continues. Hes a great dad too. But he also has this dark, struggling side that resurfaces. Over the years, it affected their marriage negatively and caused their divorce.
According to the insider, the actress has come a long way since finalizing her divorce from Affleck in 2018, after they split in 2015 following 10 years of marriage.
Shes doing great, says the insider. She loves her new home that she built for her and the kids. John is a fantastic boyfriend. Their relationship is very normal.
Still, an Affleck source says any rumors of a rekindled romance are ridiculous.

?But he also has this dark, struggling side that resurfaces. Over the years, it affected their marriage negatively and caused their divorce.? Yeah, I believe this. ?Sources close to Garner? said as much last year when J.Lo filed for divorce too, with Garner making it clear that she was definitely sympathetic towards J.Lo because of what Ben had put her through with his dark moods. I also believe that Garner approved of Ben and J.Lo?s relationship and marriage and Garner was happy to see him so settled and focused. But if anything, I bet the events of the past year have just been a reminder for Garner that she?s lucky to no longer be part of Ben?s entanglements and darkness. Like? who needs a 50-something with that much baggage AND he?s a moody prick on top of it?
