Looking back on the 2000 hit movie version of Charlie’s Angels, it’s clear that it’s not the best film ever made. But bad or not, it solidified its stars Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu as the affirmative action cast we needed to combat the narrative of beautiful big-haired white broads portraying secret agents. Another gorgeous actress, Nia Long, was also being considered for a role in the film, but she was turned down for looking too old next to Drew. Years later, Nia is speaking out on it, and I think we all know what “too old” was really code for.

Not too long ago, things were looking bleak in the way of a cordial relationship between exes Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner when Ben blamed his drinking on her while she was allegedly happy to finally be rid of her “fourth child.” However, things are seemingly going well on that front as evidenced by paps recently catching Ben joyfully greeting JG and her boyfriend, John Miller, outside their house. And if you haven’t heard (through newsletter, song, or hostage situation TikToks), Ben’s now super-married to Jennifer Lopez!  But a TikTok that’s going viral maybe shows a ripple in the rosy marital façade they’ve been cultivating because it appears as though the two were having a tense exchange over alcohol at the afterparty for J.Lo’s newest bad movie, Shotgun Wedding.

This year’s Emmy’s In Memoriam just got longer (and the year is still young) because we have sadly lost another TV legend. Cindy Williams died on Wednesday after a short illness. Cindy’s children, Zak and Emily Hudson, delivered the news of sadness in this statement:

“The passing of our kind, hilarious mother, Cindy Williams, has brought us insurmountable sadness that could never truly be expressed. Knowing and loving her has been our joy and privilege. She was one of a kind, beautiful, generous and possessed a brilliant sense of humor and a glittering spirit that everyone loved.”

Cindy was 75.

Zachary Levi had an interesting time on social media this past weekend. First, he tweeted “hard agreed” to a tweet asking people if they agree or not that Pfizer is “a real danger to the world.” That got Zachary hit with accusations of being a JennyMcCarthy-ite (read: an anti-vaxxer), and he was dragged up and down Twitter for that. Second, people brought out shit from Zachary’s past, like how he praised noted chunky skidmark Jordan Peterson as a “deep thinker,” gave an interview to Pat Robertson’s Christian Broadcasting Network, and said he was turned down for roles for being “too Jewish” even though he’s not Jewish (he changed his last name from Pugh to his middle name Levi at the advice of his agent). Then, after all that, Zachary tweeted that his father had died a few days ago. So as Zachary Levi’s publicist tosses their phone into the toilet before flushing, Chris Pratt’s publicist is calmly lounging like, “What a nice change for me that a different alleged Christian conservative right-winger Marvel star is getting shit.” – The A.V.

Julia Roberts and Jennifer Aniston will star together in a comedy where they swap bodies, and that might make you think, “What a stretch!” But it kind of is. I mean, Julia Roberts can only really play Julia Roberts, and Jennifer Aniston can only really play Jennifer Aniston, and now they’ll have to play a different 50-something rich white woman. This IS a stretch for them! – Variety

As we know, the last few years of Lisa Marie Presley‘s life were marked by tragedy and struggle. Right up to the bitter end and, apparently, beyond. Even though she had cause for celebration earlier this month following the success of Baz Luhman’s Elvis at the Golden Globes, that celebration was cut short two days later when she died unexpectedly following a cardiac event. Now, even in death, it seems the ghosts of her past are determined to fuck with her in the afterlife by pitting her mother, Priscilla Presley, and her daughter Riley Keough, against each other for control of a soon-be-be flush trust fund set up for her now 14-year-old twin daughters back in 2010, thanks to a pair of life insurance policies. TMZ reports that Priscilla is contesting a possible “fraudulent” 2016 amendment to the trust, which names Riley (as well as her brother Benjamin Keough who sadly died by suicide in 2020) as trustees, overriding the initial trustees, Priscilla and Barry Sigel. Barry was Lisa Marie’s former business manager, who she sued in 2018 for allegedly mismanaging her funds and causing her to be $16 million in debt.
