One of my biggest theories about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie?s 2016 split is that Pitt was blackout drunk on the plane and he has no memory of how he violently terrorized Angelina and their six kids for hours. Both Angelina and Brad have said or indicated that he was drinking on the plane, but if he was blackout drunk, it would explain some of what Pitt did afterward, as he desperately tried to contain the story (without even remembering what he did) and how he STILL blames Angelina for leaving him (without ever acknowledging that she had every right to protect herself and the kids). Why am I bringing this up? Because Pitt appeared on Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard, who has spoken about his alcoholism and sobriety journey for many years. Apparently, Dax and Brad met in an AA meeting?
Brad Pitt is opening up about his experience with Alcoholics Anonymous. The 61-year-old Oscar winner opened up about the experience on the Monday, June 23 episode of Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard. The two actors also spoke about getting to know one another in an AA meeting.
Pitt called AA an ?amazing thing,? noting, ?I just thought it was just incredible men sharing their experiences, their foibles, their missteps, their wants, their aches, and a lot of humor with it. I thought it was a really special experience.
Shepard, 50, who has been very open about his struggles with substance abuse and sobriety, wondered if Pitt was ?nervous? to speak with him publicly after they met in AA, noting the ?really heightened honesty and vulnerability of the situation.
But Pitt assured him that he was, Quite at ease.?
Pitt also shared that while he was a bit ?shy? coming into the AA group, he also didn?t hesitate to open up because of how low he was at that time.
?I was pretty much on my knees, and I was really open,? he told Shepard. ?I was trying anything and everyone. Anything anyone threw at me. It was a difficult time. I needed rebooting. I needed to wake the f up in some areas. And it just meant a lot to me.?
As well as referring to himself as a ?stubborn f,? Pitt also noted some of his more positive qualities.
?When Ive stepped in s, Im pretty good at taking responsibility for it and owning up to it. And now its a quest to, you know, ?What do I do with this? How can I [right] this?? And make sure it doesnt happen again.? Pitt said that after a few sessions, AA meetings became ?something Id look forward to.?
The F1 star added that he approached therapy with a similar openness, saying, ?When I jumped into therapy then, I was just like, ?And I did this and I did that and da da da da,? ? calling his approach ?desperate.?
[From People]
I?ve been covering this saga long enough to remember that Pitt apparently refused to go to a traditional rehab facility back in 2016, and he did some kind of makeshift, home-based drying out, at least that?s what we were led to believe. Sobriety is sobriety and I?m not minimizing Brad?s sobriety, if he actually is sober (we have no way of knowing but I doubt it). He?s purposefully trying to make it sound like he?s been working a program this whole time and he just hasn?t. I don?t even believe he regularly goes to AA meetings. And even then, this is probably his biggest fking lie: ?When Ive stepped in s, Im pretty good at taking responsibility for it and owning up to it.? Brad Pitt? Taking responsibility? Where? When?

Every single part of the F1 promotion is giving me second-hand embarrassment. A 61-year-old wife-beater trying to play-act the hip young action star, with his much younger beck-and-call girl on his arm for strategic photo-ops and nothing more. And now Brad Pitt has roped in Tom Cruise! These photos are from last night?s London premiere of F1. Tom Cruise pretty much lives in England full-time, and he ended up coming out for this premiere. I think Tom?s decision was less about Brad and more about the F1 team, which sounds like pretty much the entire team from Top Gun: Maverick. Tom and Brad have had beef for years they didn?t get along at all when they made Interview with a Vampire, but they?ve buried the hatchet, it seems.
Solely judging from the paparazzi photos in New York last week, it really felt like Ines de Ramon did not fly out of New York at the same time as Brad. Which is more evidence to our growing theory that her contract (??) must stipulate ?no air travel with Brad Pitt.? She likely flew solo to London just to attend this premiere with him. I wonder if she used British stylists too her styling is so different in these pics than when she?s appeared with him in America. Her gown in these photos is Fendi, and she carried a Fendi bag (the Nano Baguette). She?s way too young for him.
As for Brad and his green double-breasted suit and scarf? he?s been trying to make the vintage Robert Evans look happen and it just doesn?t work. Arguably, Brad had ?it? at some point, many years ago. But he?s lost ?it.? I hope this movie bombs so hard. *fingers crossed*

Last week, Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus walked the red carpet together in London for the Royal Academy of Dance Fundraising Evening. I?m presuming that fundraiser was something that Elizabeth was more passionate about. Several weeks ago, they also popped up in Rome for the opening of a new art exhibit. If those two events were for Liz, then this past weekend, it was Billy Ray?s turn. BRC, Liz, and Lizs son, Damian, attended the international premiere of Miley Cyrus? Something Beautiful film in London. Not only did they show up for Miley, they also gave everyone else a show with their blatant PDA. Elizabeth even posted a video to Instagram from the night.
Fashion first: After that dreadful cream-colored knit dress that she wore next week, Elizabeth looks way better here. She?s back to the jewel tones, which suit her skin tone. Her hair looks great when it?s straightened like that. Her makeup is nice, too. That said, holy boobs, Batman! Honestly, I can?t decide if I like the dress or not. I like the colors. She and Damian were clearly theme-dressing for the occasion. As for Billy Ray, it?s a fun shirt! He looks much more comfortable to not be wearing a tux. His hair also looks much lighter than it did last week. Did he do some manscaping on the beard and goatee?
If you watched Liz?s Insta video, below, you may have noticed that it was set to Miley?s song, ?Easy Lover,? which is a single from Something Beautiful. I know that they were there to support Miley?s film, but I find it kind of weird that she posted a PDA-filled video using her boyfriend?s daughter?s song about having a difficult lover. Fun fact: ?Easy Lover? was originally written for Plastic Hearts, which ended up becoming Mileys post-divorce album. When Beyonc asked her to send some songs for them to collaborate on for Cowboy Carter, Miley sent her ?Easy Lover? and an earlier version of ?II Most Wanted,? originally titled ?Shotgun Rider.? I think Queen B made the right choice.

| | Kristin Chenoweth's rendition of the National Anthem at the NBA finals was polarizing | | Added 86 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

The American National Anthem takes no prisoners, musically speaking. Sure, we all get by when singing in a crowd. But belting it out solo, with the spotlight that entails, requires tuning the pipes and rehearsing the sh-t out of it before hitting the stage. When you hear a singer really in command of the melody, it?s sublime. When it?s less than that, our ears pick up on the struggle. So when I heard that THE Kristin Chenoweth was stepping out on court to deliver ?The Star-Spangled Banner? ahead of Sunday?s NBA Finals, I breathed a sigh of relief straight from the diaphragm. Because Ms. Chenoweth is in charge of any song she sings, never the other way around, thankyouverymuch. Sadly, not all were appreciative of Kristin?s powerful voice. While I thought the performance was a slam dunk (sportsball pun!), others found her rendition polarizing, as they noted vociferously online:
Kristin Chenoweth may be Broadway royalty, but NBA fans were less than enchanted by her national anthem performance.
The Oklahoma-born singer and Tony Award winner performed ?The Star-Spangled Banner? during Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals between the Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday, June 22. Dressed in an Oklahoma City Thunder graphic T-shirt and silver embellished boots, the ?Wicked? star sang in her distinctive musical theater tone. Toward the end of the anthem, Chenoweth, 56, held a long, opera-style high note to applause before concluding her rendition.
Many viewers at home weren?t quite sold on the showtune flair:
?This is the worst National Anthem I ever heard,? one user wrote.
?They got a opera singer doing the national anthem I?m done,? another wrote.
?Listening to the national anthem at that part,? one user captioned a gif of NeNe Leakes seeming visibly taken aback.
?They shoulda invited that girl who sang the national anthem in Spanish to sing there,? one fan chimed in, referring to R&B singer Nezza?s recent performance of ?The Star-Spangled Banner? in Spanish at a Los Angeles Dodgers baseball game.
Though everyone didn?t share Chenoweth?s love for musical theater, her Oklahoma City Thunder still pulled off a win to take home the city?s first title, defeating the Indiana Pacers 103-91.
One user in their criticism called back to one infamous rendition of the national anthem, adding, ?this national anthem up there with fergie.?
Fergie?s 2018 performance at the NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles drew much criticism at the time, leading the singer to explain to TMZ at the time, ?I?m a risk taker artistically, but clearly this rendition didn?t strike the intended tone. I love this country and honestly tried my best.?
[From USA Today]
No! No no no no no no. You don?t do this to Emmy and Tony Award winner and classically-trained songstress Kristin Chenoweth! In June, no less, the month of Pride and the Tonys!! Honestly, I thought she killed it. There?s one moment towards the end, which I guess is tripping up these naysayers, where she does trill out on a super soprano high note. You know why? Because she CAN. I thought it was baller flex

We haven?t talked much about Beyonce?s Cowboy Carter tour, or Kendrick Lamar?s GNX tour either. Both tours are massively successful and I love seeing all of the videos and photos on my timeline, but the stories are usually just ?hey, Beyonce or Kendrick did something cool and everyone loved it!? Well, Beyonce has taken Cowboy Carter to Europe, and it?s been really great to see Europeans attempt the ?cowboy? dress code. Last night, Beyonce began her three-night concert series in Paris. Beyonce loves Paris, and she always does something extra special for the French crowds. Well, last night, she brought out Miley Cyrus for their first-ever live performance of ?II Most Wanted.? I?ve said this before, but I was really surprised by how much I love this song and it quickly became one of my favorites on the album. The way Miley and Beyonce harmonize on it is really gorgeous. The performance last night was amazing too (this is not the complete performance).

Katy Perry is legitimately friends with Lauren Sanchez. Katy joined the all-female Blue Origin space flight in April along with Lauren, and Katy was also one of the celebrities invited to Lauren?s multi-day bachelorette party in Paris back in May. They really are friends, but Katy isn?t interrupting her tour schedule to attend Lauren?s crazy, multi-day Venice wedding next week. So Katy?s somewhat estranged husband Orlando Bloom will go in Katy?s place.
Orlando Bloom is on the ultra high-profile guest list for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Snchezs approaching wedding and TMZ has learned the actors going stag amid rumors of his relationship with Katy Perry getting rocky.
Sources tell TMZ OB plans to attend the days-long wedding celebration in Venice, Italy, taking place later this month and Katy aint going to be by his side but in this instance, theres a perfectly logical explanation.
Katy is currently on tour in Australia, rockin 15 sold-out shows and those dates overlap with the billionaires bash. And Katys tour was planned way before Jeff and Lauren locked in their lavish European nuptials.
Still the optics aint great for Katy and Orlando the high-profile Hollywood couple has been dogged recently with rumors theres trouble in paradise with their own engagement.
[From TMZ]
I think this one particular thing is just about Katy?s tour schedule, not her marriage and not her friendship with Lauren. In fact, it would not surprise me at all if Katy made a point of making time for Lauren?s bachelorette festivities last month because Katy knew she would have to skip the wedding. That being said? yeah, it really does seem like Katy and Orlando are on the rocks, if not completely over.

I dye my hair at home, and I actually prefer some of the less expensive box dyes. I?ve tried the more expensive box dyes, and you can feel the difference in quality during the application, but the end result usually looks the same. At least it does for me, because I have really dark hair and I?m just dyeing my hair to cover the gray. Well, I guess Nicole Scherzinger is the same she?s got really dark hair naturally, and she doesn?t have time to go to a salon for touch-ups and professional coloring. So she?s partnered with Clairol, and she told People Mag that she dyed her hair with Clairol before the Tony Awards? where she picked up a Tony for lead actress in Sunset Blvd.
Nicole Scherzinger is always on the move. As the star of Sunset Blvd. on Broadway, she has seven to eight shows per week, and when shes not on stage, shes doing interviews, making appearances and tackling everything else her busy life demands. But, despite how busy the Tony winner is, she doesnt sacrifice her fitness or her glam. Thats why when the opportunity to partner with Clairol and Bala came up, it was an ideal gig for her, because the two brands are celebrating the on-the-go woman.
Obviously my awards season is the busiest season of my life. Efficiency means everything, so I just love this collab, Scherzinger tells PEOPLE exclusively of getting to work with Clairol and Bala. I was so stoked because I got to do [my color] and freshen up ahead of the Tonys, and if I can do it, anybody can do it. Its awesome you can have salon-quality hair at home. Its super easy and I was really proud of myself.
The Clairol ColorStrong range features destinations as the color names, and Scherzinger was happy to see that her shade was Hawaii, her birthplace.
Im really stoked that I got to color my hair with Hawaii, where Im from, where I was born, she says. I love that they had these ColorStrong colors that just kind of represent the essence of the destinations that they chose, anywhere from Malibu to Rome. I think thats so cool because I love to travel.
The other half of the partnership is the Bala bangles, a limited-edition set of one-pound wrist weights inspired by a few of the shades from the Clairol ColorStrong collection. Scherzinger says she especially likes this part of the collab because it represents strength in all forms, plus the bangles help her get a workout in no matter where she is. She can wear them while walking around the city, while backstage at the St. James Theatre, or while coloring her hair ? which she did.
Scherzinger admits that her body is her temple so wellness is of the utmost importance to her. In addition to wearing her Bala bangles, she prioritizes HIIT (high-intensity interval training) and circuit training.
I also try to take walks when I can. I know that sounds silly, but walking is so wonderful and so important to just get that fresh air, a little bit of sunlight on you, just good for your mental space as well, she adds. Ill jog sometimes to the theater when I can, especially now with this weather getting better.
[From People]
I?m skeptical of so many of these ?awards-season brand ambassadorships,? which are becoming quite common these days. But? this one worked on me. It helps that Nicole actually posted an IG video where she?s dyeing her hair herself, as she?s wearing bangles. Now, it doesn?t look like she?s a regular at this, but I believe she?s probably been using Clairol recently to cover up her grays and make her hair look sleek and polished.

Here are some photos of Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon leaving their New York hotel on Tuesday. Brad was flying out of NYC, probably to start the European promotion for Vroom-Vroom. I don?t know if Ines will join him it didn?t look like she left the hotel at the same time, and it?s more than possible that she?s returning to LA. I remember a few years ago, Ines went to Paris ?with? Brad, but she made a point of flying separately. Someone pointed out that she probably doesn?t want to ever get on the same plane with Brad, given what he did to Angelina Jolie and their children on a private plane in 2016.
Fashion notes for Tuesday?s hotel check-out: Brad wore a Gucci jumpsuit which does not flatter his shape, and in fact makes him look like a toddler in a onesie. The gold chains/necklaces make him look? you know what, I won?t say it. Ines wore a denim Marine Serre top and jeans. Do they have his-and-hers Gucci bags? Brad?s carry-on is for-sure Gucci, but is Ines?s bag Gucci? Is this relationship sponsored by Gucci? Ines is certainly carrying the bag like she?s being paid to promote it. As the Mail pointed out, Brad is already adopting his girlfriend?s style, like always. Meanwhile, Pitt?s PR gave People another dumb exclusive:
Brad Pitt has found a ?perfect? match in girlfriend Ines de Ramon.
In a rare red carpet appearance together, the producer-star of F1 brought de Ramon as his date to the movie?s world premiere in New York City on Monday, June 16. Pitt, 61, ?loved having Ines by his side,? a source tells PEOPLE exclusively.
?Shes no drama, very supportive and theyre doing really well,? the insider adds.
The jewelry designer, 32, is ?perfect for him,? they conclude.
[From People]
My theory about why Pitt?s PR continues to be so vague about Ines and only speak about her in the most basic of generalities is because Brad never pays attention to anything about her. Ines isn?t his ?girlfriend? in the sense that they actually share things with one another or have similar interests or anything like that. Ines is just there. She is Girlfriend. Brad is happy with Girlfriend. Girlfriend is supportive.

Here are some photos of Scarlett Johansson in London on Tuesday, doing a photocall and premiere for Jurassic World Rebirth. Scarlett has been trying to get a role in the Jurassic universe for years (decades, even). She really, really wanted to be part of this franchise and I think it?s cool that it worked out for her I?m pretty sure she has some cool scenes with dinosaurs. She seems to have enjoyed working with Jonathan Bailey in particular I think all of Jonathan?s costars love him, honestly, especially the girls. Mahershala Ali wore Etro at the premiere he has better style than all of his costars combined.
At the photocall, Scarlett wore a Schiaparelli, and at the premiere, Scarlett wore a Vivienne Westwood. Sigh? the Schiaparelli is far from the worst look I?ve seen from that house, but it?s still not great. It?s also not summery in the least it is the middle of June, why is Scarlett styled like an 80s Wednesday Addams? The Westwood is much better a good design, flattering, well cut. This color would have looked gorgeous on a woman with darker coloring. On Scarlett, the color of the dress and her terrible makeup are in competition to see who can make her look the most washed-out.
Real talk: in my opinion, Scarlett has never been a fashion girl or known for her style. Her style is okay-to-fine much of the time, but there are some notable fashion flops in her style journey, and those flops have significantly lowered expectations along the way. No one ever says ?I can?t wait to see what Scarlett wears.? All that being said, Scarlett has been a pleasant surprise in the past year or so with her red carpet appearances. She?s hit that point in her life where she knows what styles work best on her figure and I also think she?s working with better tailors/couturiers. Now she needs a better makeup artist, because? yikes. When your MUA is like ?and now for some pale Pink eyeshadow,? it?s time for a new person.

Many female celebrities have begun speaking out about going through menopause. I really appreciate those kinds of stories. Well, now male celebrities have entered the chat. Josh Duhamel is stepping up to speak for middle-aged men.
Josh participated in a Men?s Health Lab panel last week to promote his new wellness company, Gatlan Health. Gatlan aims to help men with hormone treatments, medical weight loss, and hairline treatment. Josh, 52, shared that he recently realized that he was feeling off. He saw a doctor and discovered that he had low testosterone levels. Josh decided to take testosterone to stay ?virile? for his 31-year-old wife.
Josh Duhamel, 52, said that his wife was a factor in his decision to begin hormone replacement therapy. ?Its important for her that I stay as young and virile for as long as I can, the actor said of his wife Audra Mari, 31. Duhamel and Mari wed in 2022.
Outside of his intimate life, the actor elaborated on other facets of his personal life that the hormone replacement therapy has positively impacted. ?I think that there is an overall wellness, you know, just for just for those purposes alone ? , he said.
The actor continued, Just having that energy, that that that desire to go out and achieve, be a better dad, be a better brother, be a better friend, be a better business owner, you dont taper off like you would normally?and I think that thats also one of the benefits of it, mentally and physically.?
Duhamel shares son Axl, 11, with ex-wife Fergie. The couple divorced in 2019. He shares son Shepherd, 1, with Mari.
When it came to the decision to begin taking testosterone, Duhamel revealed that he had low levels of the hormone when he was tested by a doctor. ?Id been hearing about this for a while?about testosterone replacement therapy?and it was one of those things that I didnt want to talk about, neither did anybody I was asking about it, he said.
The actor continued, And I think that it was just, I took an inventory, a personal inventory, of how I was feeling, and I knew that I wasnt quite where I was at five, 10, years before. Thats when I got myself tested, and realized my levels were low, and thats when I decided to start doing it.
Duhamel reflected further on how taking testosterone has positively impacted his physical strength. It?s just one of those things that just changed my world. I literally got my mojo back. And now its become, not so much about the aesthetics of it, as much as it is being around for my kids and being able to roll around the dirt with them like I could have when I was younger, he said.
Duhamels conversation with Mens Health comes as he begins his journey as the co-founder of Gatlan Health. Gatlan Health works to help men reclaim their strength, confidence, and vitality through cutting-edge solutions and a holistic approach to wellness, per the official website.
[From People]
The first thing that struck me when I read Josh?s story was just how easy it was for him, a man, to get tested and then begin hormone replacement therapy. If only it were that easy for everyone who needs HRT. I?ve heard first-hand and read a lot of stories/comments online from women who have to beg for medical intervention to help them with menopause.
That said, I have zero problems with Josh taking testosterone to treat any of the other low T symptoms he was suffering from. That?s what modern medicine is for! I did not have Josh Duhamel starting a mens wellness brand on my bingo card, but here we are. I appreciate him sharing his story because we live in an era with a disturbing, renewed focus on toxic masculinity and a constant demand for men to prove that they are ?real? men. If Josh can break through to even one man that?s struggling but too embarrassed to admit something?s wrong, then that?s great!
