Matthew Perry's friends are there for him. Despite Matthew going into detail on his darkest moments in his bombshell tell-all, his "Friends" costars were completely fine with the book. A source said, "[They're] all very supportive and proud of him to be coming clean and giving himself closure in so many areas. There was a wariness in the build-up to the release for sure, that he may have spilled a lot more embarrassing secrets than he did." Even Matthew himself had said, "It's very important to me that I didn't go after anyone and I wasn't gossipy [in the book]." Read more at okmagazine.com.

Selena Gomez, 30, puts it all out there in her new documentary "My Mind & Me," out today on Apple TV+. She opens up even about her struggles with bipolar disorder, sharing that she had suicidal thoughts and checked into four different treatment centers, according to TMZ. She said, "I think when I started hitting my early twenties is when it started to get really dark, when I started to feel like I was not in control of what I was feeling, whether that was really great or really bad." In a Rolling Stone interview, Selena also talked about having extreme highs and lows for weeks or months, explaining she would sometimes feel the need to buy everyone in her life a car so she could share her "gift" but then on the flipside, she'd fall into a deep state of depression and not be able to get out of bed. At her lowest, she "thought the world would be better if I wasn't there."
Jennifer Lawrence thinks her time in the spotlight is over. She said, "Let's be real, I'm only getting closer to 40," adding that the pressure she used to feel "just doesn't exist for an actress in her 30s…" She's currently working with a young actor and she says, "Working with a 20-year-old is so depressing. I'm like, 'Well, when YouTube was first invented, you were born.'" But at least she's not scared to go out & live in the real world. She shared now that "THe Hunger Games" is so far in the past, "I'm not scared of 13-year-olds anymore. They have no idea who I am. I can tell things are different by my interactions in the real world, just by the way that I can move about life. There's an occasional article about me walking out in Ugg boots, but other than that, the interest has lessened."

Johnny Depp filed an appeal over the $2 million the jury awarded his ex, Amber Heard, according to TMZ. He says the jury mistakenly ruled in favor of Amber when they decided one of Johnny's attorneys, Adam Waldman, defamed Amber by telling a media outlet she had lied while describing the fight that ended their marriage. The lawyer had said, "So Amber and her friends spilled a little wine and roughed the place up, got their stories straight under the direction of a lawyer and publicist, and then placed a second call to 911." Johnny's main issue is that it was his lawyer who said that, not him, and he shouldn't be held responsible for what the lawyer said. He also says Amber's team failed to prove that the comments were made with malice, which is a requirement to win a defamation claim.

While on the red carpet for "White Lotus," Jennifer Coolidge was asked what "Real Housewives" series she'd want to be a part of. She said, "I have to say the Beverly Hills thing is riveting and it's riveting for many reasons. All the gays that I hang out with are obsessed with so they would want me to do that one. And you know, Lisa Rinna is such a good villain … I would like that one." RHOBH star Garcelle Beauvais agrees. While guest co-hosting "The Talk," she exclaimed, "She would be fantastic, we need some humor," and added "She would bend and snap a b***h."

"The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" star Whitney Rose shared on the show that her husband, Justin Rose, was fired from his job because of the show, according to OK. Last season, Whit and Justin filmed a scene for the show involving paint, swimwear, and playful spanking. Justin, who was a chief marketing officer, was let go after the episode aired. Now, the family is living off her income, and Whitney said, "What does this mean? What's going to happen?' I don't make as much as Justin does. We're just barely catching our breath from taking a risk last year with [company] Wild Rose Beauty. What about our house, our lifestyle, kids' soccer, food, cars? Like, do I need to sell all my purses? What does this mean?"
George Clooney was on "The Drew Barrymore Show" and talked about his super romantic relationship with his wife, Amal Clooney, and it all started the moment they met, according to Suggest. George said his agent called him up and told him he was bringing a guest to George's house, saying, "'There's a girl coming to your house who you're going to marry,' and I was like, 'You're an idiot, that's not going to happen.' And then in comes Amal." He said at the beginning of their relationship, "I started writing her … a bunch of letters," which they still do for each other. He said, "We leave them on the pillow." And it seems Amal is just as enamored by George as he is by her. She said a few years ago, "I met George when I was 35 and starting to become quite resigned to the idea that I was going to be a spinster. Then we met and … I couldn't sleep when we were apart. And I am told I would display a particular grin and head tilt when reading his text messages or the letters that he would hide in my bag." By the way, Amal and George have even claimed that they have never had an argument. Could they be the happiest couple in Hollywood?

Martha Stewart put out a public plea on "Today" to Mariah Carey. Her message to the Queen of Christmas was, "Mariah, you know me. I am a traditionalist with a twist. You cannot give up Thanksgiving. Just because you don't like turkey? I love turkey, and many, many other people love turkey," adding "So, do not think that we are going to give up Thanksgiving just because you say so." She seems sweet, but I have a feeling it's not a good thing to be on Martha's bad side. Mariah, you have been warned…
