      ♦ In a sit-down with Marie Claire magazine, Kristen Dunst (42) complained that for the past 2 years she hasn't work and has turned out roles because she feels she's being typecast as "sad mom". Um, does she know she's not 25 anymore? Did she expect to be playing Mary Jane or a cheerleader for the next 20 years? Anyway, she blabbed on and on about how hard her life is, struggles of being a mom, and not being offered better roles. Yea, I  know...the ego on her. Perhaps Kiki is over estimating her talent. Or maybe she needs to realize she's middle age. If she hates the roles she's being offered, I have 2 suggestions: 1) Hire a better agent; or 2) Start your own production company and make your own movies.  Back to her interview...she went on to say: Read More "I haven't worked in two years. Every role I was being offered was the sad mom. To be honest, that's been hard for me...because I need to feed myself."  Kristen Dunst, 2023. Photo...

Hieke met Leo at an LA club where she was spotted by his manager, who then had her brought over to Leo's table.  Was Leo having open auditions for his infamous "pussy posse"? Anyway, Hieke and Leo got all chummy and started kissing when he asked her to go back to his place. Hieke told him "Nope" and had this to say about the encounter: Read More "We kissed for a while, and then he asked me to come home with him,” she claimed. “I said no. He reacted very shocked. Of course he wasn’t used to it. When I said I didn’t know him well enough, he responded sweetly, ‘I respect that.’ Whereupon he turned to another girl and took her home ! “I had heard from other girls that he could be very strange,” she said. “For example, one friend said he kept his earphones in during s...

    ♦  Andy Cohen, the pustule behind show like the RHO___(insert whatever city you want) and KUWTK krap, has issued an apology to Real Housewife star Brandi Glanville.  Brandi accused Andy of sexual harassment. From reading about this mess, Brandi has video proof showing him being a d-bag. Brandi claims that Andy sent her a video asking her to watch him have sex with another Bravo reality star. Andy claims he was just joking around and that Brandi knew it or some crap like that.

    ♦  Another day, another reboot. Lazy execs at CBS are rebooting "Matlock". The original series starred Andy Griffith and ran from 1986-1995.  CBS started working on the reboot last year but things came to a grinding halt due to the SAG-WGA strike. But it's full steam ahead now. The reboot will have Kathy Bates in the starring role of Matlock, the septuagenarian lawyer / crime solver. She will be joined by Jason Ritter, David Del Rio, Skye P. Marshall, Leah Lewis, and Beau Bridges who will play "Senior", the law firm's top dog. BTW, Beau replaces Jaimey Sheridan (of Law & Order Criminal Intent). The studio gave no reason why Beau replaced Jaimey. Oh  well.  The reboot is scheduled for the 2024/2025 TV season on CBS . Read More Beau Bridges and Kathy Bates.

      ♦ Alyssa Milano is getting an earful of "Bisssh...WTF is wrong with you" and is being mocked for having the audacity to ask social media to donate to her 12 yr old son's baseball team trip to Cooperstown.  Alyssa set up the The Go Fund Me page with the goal of $10,000. Then, she went on social media trying to pass the virtual collection plate around asking us plebs for money because she must think we're the idle rich. Well, that went over about as well as you'd expect. People pointed out how tone-deaf she is given her $10 million net worth. She can easily pay for the entire trip without breaking a sweat. Also, her husband David Bugliari, is a top Hollywood agent with CAA. Oh, and to make matters worse: It doesn't appear neither Alyssa or her husband donated to it...which really pissed off people .  The backlash was swift and brutal. Below are some of the reactions.
