Life & Style Weekly Magazine says Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer may be considering a real-life romance following their "Friends" reunion special where they admitted to cuddling on the set. A source tells the magazine, "They've been talking, FaceTiming and are planning to meet up," adding, "Maybe that ship hasn't sailed after all. David was secretly devastated that he'd missed his opportunity. Some say he never 100 percent got over Jen. They felt a huge sense of nostalgia when they saw each other again. They're the same people as they were back in the day — just older! Neither Jen nor David feels the need to put on an act when they're together. They can truly relax and be themselves."
You may not remember but back in 2012 Britney Spears was a judge on the second season of the US version of "The X Factor" and Louis Walsh, judge of the UK edition, says she may not remember much of it either. Walsh appeared on the show to fill in for Simon Cowell, and tells "The Irish Independent" Britney was barely able to sit up herself during filming. "I was sitting with Britney for two days, and after every few auditions, she would go…" Walsh said, imitating Britney slumping over at the table. "They would literally have to stop the show and take her out because she was on so much medication and other stuff. I felt sorry for her." He adds, "Here she was, the biggest pop star on the planet, and she was just sitting there physically, but she wasn't there mentally," noting, "She had a lot of problems."

Speaking to Willow Smith, Michael Jackson's daughter says she struggles with "extreme paranoia" from the paparazzi always being around.

You'll have to wait until the full episode drops to hear more from their one-on-one chat. "Red Table Talk" airs on Facebook Watch at 12pm ET. and you can get more details at apnews.com

Chrissy Teigen's bullying scandal hasn't gone away after her first apology, so she's offered a second. As you may recall, Teigen apologized for cyberbullying then-teen star Courtney Stodden last month after old tweets resurfaced.
Now, Teigen admits she was "a troll, full stop." After her first "sorry," Teigen kept quiet on social media. After what she describes as a "VERY humbling few weeks," she's offered another, longer apology published on Medium. She writes that "not a single moment has passed" where she doesn't feel "the crushing weight of regret" for what she's said in the past – including the "old awful (awful, awful) tweets."
Teigen says she was having "so much fun" when she first got on social media. Thinking back, her online snarkiness makes her "cringe to [her] core." After therapy and "more therapy," she insists she's "no longer" that troll, she's realized the effect "throwing rocks" can have and is dedicated to being "the best version" of herself. "There is simply no excuse for my past horrible tweets. My targets didn't deserve them," Teigen writes. "Many of them needed empathy, kindness, understanding and support, not my meanness masquerading as a kind of casual, edgy humor. I was a troll, full stop. And I am so sorry."
Of course, her mea culpa tour isn't without a couple of interesting notes. For one, "Project Runway" star Michael Costello is now describing what he calls a "years long" concerted campaign to destroy his career. For many, the question is: will more people come out to reveal the same - especially as she's mentioned a number of people?
Also - the fact that these apologies have come in the wake of her losing a number of endorsement deals and partnerships has others questioning the sincerity of the apology.

Kevin Hart says has been the victim of cancel culture too many times to let it bother him. When it came up in a recent interview with "The Times," he said, "I personally don't give a [ish] about it." His most recent brush with it was in 2018. When he was announced as the host for the 2019 Academy Awards, homophobic remarks he'd made ten years before resurfaced and he stepped down from the post. He says that no one's perfect and to expect him or her to be is completely unrealistic. "Last I checked, the only way you grow up is from [screwing] up. I don't know a kid who hasn't [screwed] up or done some dumb [ish]." He went on to say, "I've been cancelled, what, three or four times? Never bothered. If you allow it to have an effect on you, it will. Personally? That's not how I operate. I understand people are human. Everyone can change."

"The Devil Wears Prada" is 15 years old. To celebrate the milestone, the cast got together to dish on the fashion film. Here are some of the secrets that came out…
-Even though Meryl Streep's Miranda Priestly was iconic, she wasn't the first choice. In fact, Michelle Pfeiffer, Glenn Close, and Catherine Zeta-Jones were all considered until Fox studio head Tom Rothman secured Streep in 2005.
-Meryl then fought to get Anne Hathaway a spot on the film. She was actually the ninth choice behind the likes of Rachel McAdams, Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman, Kate Hudson, and Kirsten Dunst. Meryl had seen Anne's performance in "Brokeback Mountain." She called up Rothman and said, "Yeah, this girl's great, and I think we'll work well together."
-Streep had to fight for Miranda to have white hair. The studio equated white hair with grey hair and they wanted no parts of it. However, Meryl's decision was final. She told them, "Don't you worry, this is what I'm going to do and it's going to be great." When Meryl came in as Miranda, there wasn't a conversation about the hair. They looked into Meryl's eyes and they never said a word.
-The movie had a hard time securing locations and getting fashion houses to cooperate with them because they didn't want to incur the wrath of "Vogue" editor, Anna Wintour, on whom Miranda's character is based.
-Emily Blunt and Meryl actually wore Uggs for the waist-up shots. According to Emily, "Any chance Meryl and I had, I know we were in Uggs in most of the shots from the waist up." Anne, on the other hand, was running around in heels because she needed them for posture. See more at EntertainmentWeekly.com
As you may recall, back in January Justin Timberlake finally confirmed he and Jessica Biel welcomed a second child last summer, Phineas, after months of speculation. Speaking to Dax Shepard on his "Armchair Expert" podcast, Biel says she didn't mean for Phineas to be "a secret COVID baby." Biel explains that it wasn't "supposed to be a secret," it was just timing. The pandemic had just hit, and she ended up going to her native Montana with her family and "never left." She gave birth to Phineas at a Minnesota hospital when "hospital restrictions had just changed," which made her nervous that JT wouldn't be allowed in the delivery room – luckily, he was. "There was a moment there that there was nobody allowed at all and I was really getting nervous about that situation," she says. I think if I had to be there alone, that would have been horrible. I would have been really scared."
