In an interview with Variety this week, Olivia Wilde has revealed why she fired Shia LaBeouf from her upcoming movie "Don't Worry Darling." Initial reports said that Shia left the movie over a scheduling conflict, but Olivia said she fired him because "His process was not conducive to the ethos that I demand in my productions," adding, "What we really needed was an energy that was incredibly supportive." Shortly after he was fired, FKA twigs sued Shia for sexual battery, and he sought inpatient treatment.

Former "Zoey 101" star Alexa Nikolas, aka Nicole, protested outside Nickelodeon's studios in support of child stars because she "didn't feel safe" when she was employed there. Alexa felt the need to act once the network came under fire when "iCarly" star Jennette McCurdy released her memoir about alleged abuse from higher-ups at the company, talking about being pressured to drink at 18, getting unwanted massages from an exec, and being offered hush money. Alexa told TMZ she didn't feel Nickelodeon had her best interest in mind and called her entire experience there "traumatic."

"Glee" star Heather Morris worked as a professional dancer for years, and on recent podcast, she claimed that Jennifer Lopez once cut dancers after a long day of auditions just because of their astrological sign. Heather said JLo asked for a show of hands of Virgos, then whispered something to her assistant, and then all those dancers were immediately excused. It's not clear why JLo, who's a Leo, would have a problem with Virgos (except for the fact that her ex-husband Marc Anthony is one). One person speculated, "Virgo tend to be highly uncoachable unless they happen to share your vision." For the record, Jen and Ben are both Leos, which, astrologically speaking means they're perfectly compatible!
TikTok star Charli D'Amelio might be competing against her mom, Heidi, this season on "Dancing with the Stars." Production sources tell TMZ that she and her mother have signed on for Season 31.

"Stranger Things" star Noah Schnapp (Will Byers) said in an interview that the show's directors have had a tough time dealing with most of their cast going through puberty. When the show first started in 2016, most of the kids were 12 to 14-years-old, and though they're currently supposed to be about 14 in the show, they're closer to 18 now. With more height and deeper voices, it's made keeping to the timeline difficult. Season 5 is supposed to drop in 2024 and will probably focus on the kids going through midlife crisis.
