Ticketmaster announced they were cancelling all ticket sales for Taylor Swift's "The Eras Tour." Even though they bragged that the 2 million single-day sales was a record for a single artist, they were ultimately not able to process the "extraordinarily high demands." One of the major problems was that they were expecting about 1.5 million people to log on and instead, they got 14 million, includes bots, flooding their site and crashing it. Fans are raging, and lawmakers are looking into the legality of how it all went down. Even presidential candidate Sen. Amy Klobuchar weighed in, writing "that Ticketmaster isn't subjected to competition, which means it isn't forced to innovate or create a better service for consumers." In the meantime, Swifties are calling on Taylor Swift to say something, anything, about the Ticketmaster sale debacle to publicly denounce Ticketmaster and to let her fans know she supports them. So far, nothing yet.
"Thor" star Chris Hemsworth has revealed that he's at high risk to develop Alzheimer's. He has the APOE4 gene, which makes him eight to ten times more likely to develop Alzheimer's in his lifetime. Chris explained, "It's not a pre-deterministic gene, but it is a strong indication.

"Last Man Standing" star Tim Allen visited his good friend Jay Leno at the burn center yesterday, and photographers caught up with him as he was leaving. Tim said Jay should be fine and was in good spirits – Tim was too, which is probably a good indicator as to how well Jay is really doing. Tim said he brought Jay some car magazines to kill the time, they cracked a few jokes together, and he expects Jay to look like George Clooney when he heals, according to TMZ.
Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen have been named in a class action lawsuit against the now-defunct cryptocurrency exchange, FTX.

Baby news…
"House of Cards" actress Kate Mara snuck one past everyone.

Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper don't have to play by the rules. CNN announced a new no alcohol rule for all correspondents during their coverage of the New Year's eve celebration - except Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen. The CEO said it casts a negative light on the network, its employees, and its credibility. How are these two exempt? It's because their roles are regarded as "hosts" instead of "reporters." Still, after Andy's tirade about the New York Mayor and forcing Anderson to take shot after shot after shot on the air, you'd think they'd find a way to apply the no alcohol rule to them too.

Britney Spears' husband, Sam Asghari, tried to bait her into going on Instagram live while they were hanging out in bed, and Britney was not having it. He said on live, "Can I show you or no?" Brit didn't even know what he was talking about, saying, "Huh? Show me what?" He then told her, "On the Live," adding, "Can I turn the camera on you?" She said no and seemed annoyed with him, throwing back, "I have nothing to say. I don't want to talk to them right now, " in reference to the nearly 3,000 people who tuned in (see the video, Page Six). Some people bashed him for putting her on the spot like that, even though he never put the camera on her, while others are saying he did ask her first and respected her decision.

Harry Styles might lose his upcoming role in Marvel's superhero films. He recently appeared in an MCU post-credit scene as the character Eros, and may have even been in line for his own solo movie. However, the overwhelming amount of negative reviews for his last two films, "Don't Worry Darling" and "My Policeman" apparently have executives re-thinking their decisions. For now, Marvel is busy with a full schedule of movies and shows planned until 2025, so that's their excuse for now.
Jason Momoa showed up on the red carpet in a really weird outfit – purple pajamas and a strange velvetly pinkish robe/overcoat. As for his fashion choice, Jason said he steals everything he wears from set, explaining, "I have something on right now probably, yeah. I'm a natural born thief so I kind of take everything from set. Everything I touch and wear I take." Given that his character in "Slumberland" makes some questionable fashion choices, it now all makes sense. But we'd really like him to go back to wearing wardrobe from that show he got the loincloth from. That's a fashion choice we approve of!
