Dina's Dirt for November 15, 2024
Was John Krasinski 3rd choice for Sexiest Man Alive?
"Good Morning America" interviewed Joan from "The Golden Bachelorette" after it was revealed she gave the final rose to Chock, and the couple talked about how relieved they are to finally take their relationship public. They've been hiding out for the past three months until the big reveal and are psyched that they can finally go out in public now. Chock is looking forward to catching up on a whole lot of dinner dates.
People Magazine's 2024 Sexiest Man Alive is John Krasinski, but there's a rumor he wasn't first choice. Sources are saying Glen Powell from "Twisters" and "Anyone but You" and Pedro Pascal from "Game of Thrones" and "The Last of Us" were asked to accept the award, but they both turned it down.
According to one source, being Sexiest Man alive wasn't important to either of them at this point in their careers as "Glen wants to make more of an impact in acting now that he is finally getting amazing roles and becoming more of a star, and Pedro doesn't feel like it was ever something he wanted to entertain. He sees the gimmick of it all and though there is a flattery to it, his ego doesn't need it."
Ryan Reynolds made a Zoom call to a special 9-year-old who is battling cancer. He told Riley, "You've been going through a lot, and I cannot wait to meet you. I'm going to make sure that this is one of the best days of your life." He even brought his wife Blake Lively onto the call to say hello, and he even told Riley he has plans to meet him one of these days.
Britney Spears is set to make her final child support payment of $10,000 to ex-husband Kevin Federline today, marking the end of her financial obligations now that their youngest son, Jayden James, has turned 18 and completed high school. Britney had been paying Kevin $40,000 a month since 2018 when Kevin full custody of their sons, double what she was paying him before.
Denzel Washington, now 69, said he is retiring from Hollywood. He explained, "I don't know how many more films I'm going to make. Probably not that many… I'm about to play Othello at 70. After that I'm playing Hannibal. After that, I've been talking with Steve McQueen about a film. After that Ryan Coogler's writing a part for me in the next 'Black Panther.' After that, I'm going to do 'King Lear.' After that, I'm going to retire." That doesn't really sound like retirement, does it?
