Dakota Johnson showed up during Lily Allen's SNL performance to play the other woman in a song about cheating. The 40-year-old singer was doing her track Madeline from the West End Girl album, and Johnson came out from behind a curtain to deliver some lines as the character who apparently slept with the narrator's husband.
Johnson read this whole bit about how the guy said his wife knew about the affair and was fine with it, then asked Allen to set her straight if that was BS. They hugged it out after, which was kind of awkward, but whatever. Allen also performed another song called Sleepwalking that seems to roast her ex, David Harbour, with lyrics about trusting him while he was messing around. The Stranger Things actor and Allen got...
Vivan Bhathena recently talked about his time on Chak De India while promoting his new movie 120 Bahadur. The actor said working with Shah Rukh Khan and Sagarika Ghatge on that Adi Chopra film was a major opportunity early in his career, but it came with some challenges since he had a theater background where improvising was normal.
Director Shimit Amin was extremely particular about sticking to Jaideep Sahni's script without any changes, and he would do multiple takes until he got exactly what he wanted. Bhathena had to adjust from his spontaneous stage style to working within strict boundaries. The sports drama follows a disgraced hockey captain who coaches the Indian women's team while dealing with prejudice and regional divides.

People close to Aniston say she takes the holiday season pretty seriously and goes all out with decorations and real Christmas trees.

Devoleena Bhattacharjee posted about hitting the three-year mark with her husband, Shanawaz Shaikh, while reflecting on how parenthood basically kills your ability to remember anything else. The Saath Nibhaana Saathiya star thanked the universe for dropping Shanawaz into her world and praised him for carrying her through postpartum recovery and every messy phase after that.
The couple got married in a small ceremony back in 2022, and they just had their first kid recently. They named the baby boy Joy and shared the whole announcement online.
Devoleena said living out her vision as a wife and mom feels real because her partner shows up with actual support instead of just vibes.
James Cameron went off on people dragging his Avatar sequel for using high frame rate tech and 3D effects after The Way of Water pulled in over two billion at the box office. The director basically said the money proves haters wrong, and he doubled down by saying it's his film anyway. Cameron has been shooting large chunks at 48 frames per second instead of the usual 24 to make everything look more lifelike.
The filmmaker also ranted about how streaming platforms wrecked theatrical releases this year and blamed COVID for pushing everyone toward watching stuff at home. He thinks people need something wild enough to justify getting a babysitter before they'll bother heading to theaters anymore, and Avatar fits that category better than...
Shilpa Shetty Kundra brought her kid, Viaan-Raj, to Wankhede Stadium and told reporters his whole world basically got made after getting face time with Lionel Messi. The actress said the experience was great while heading out from the venue, where a bunch of Bollywood people showed up for the event.
Messi rolled through Mumbai as his third stop after that disaster in Kolkata, where political figures basically hijacked everything, and he dipped after 20 minutes instead of the two hours fans paid big money for. His India tour turned into this massive cultural moment, proving football is actually getting traction here beyond cricket, and the whole thing highlighted how the country matters more as a global sports market.
Director James L. Brooks is telling people his buddy Jack Nicholson still has acting chops despite ghosting Hollywood for the past fifteen years. The filmmaker worked with the 88-year-old legend on multiple projects that scored him Oscars, and he keeps insisting the guy reads scripts and will eventually show up onscreen again when the urge hits him.
Brooks met Nicholson through Debra Winger back when she pitched him for Terms of Endearment, and the director admits he had zero backup options because nobody else had that kind of audience pull. He shared this story about asking Nicholson how he handles scenes with weak actors, and the response was basically that whatever anyone does opposite him works perfectly.
The pair built this whole...
Kareena Kapoor Khan brought her kids, Taimur and Jeh, to Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai for a meetup with Lionel Messi during his stop in India. She posted pics on Instagram showing the boys rocking Argentina jerseys before heading inside, and cameras caught them leaving the venue after the whole thing wrapped up.
Messi hit Mumbai as his third city after that messy Kolkata situation, where he bailed early because political types basically took over the event, and fans got screwed despite dropping serious cash on tickets. His India tour turned into this massive deal with crowds losing their minds everywhere he went, and the whole thing basically proved football culture is actually growing here beyond just cricket. Several Bollywood...
Kunal Kemmu talked about how streaming shows let him actually sink his teeth into characters way more than movies do. The actor mentioned that series work gives him space to develop relationships and build out character arcs over multiple episodes instead of cramming everything into a two-hour window.
He pointed out that good writing makes his job easier since the creators basically lay out the blueprint for him to follow. Kemmu said he feels completely drained after living inside a character for an extended shoot, but the depth makes it worth the effort. The Single Papa star previously worked on Abhay and Pop Kaun before directing Madgaon Express, which turned into a sleeper hit.
