Ryan Reynolds' "Deadpool" co-star, TJ Miller, has mixed feelings about Ryan. TJ played the bartender Weasel in the first two "Deadpool" movies, and he claims that Reynolds requested another take of a scene in front of the cast and crew just so he could make fun of him. So, because of that, TJ said, "Would I work with him again? No. I would not work with him again. I sorta wish him well because he's so good at 'Deadpool,' and I think it's weird that he hates me." Who knows what Ryan feels about TJ, but between charges of assault, allegations of sex assault, his arrest for an Amtrak bomb threat, and a host of other workplace improprieties, it wouldn't be surprising that Ryan has no interest in being his friend.
Sarah Jessica Parker's daughters are big fans of her Halloween movie "Hocus Pocus." SJP told People that the girls started watching the movie when they were about ten and instantly fell in love with it. Apparently, the girls, now 13, even went to meet Parker's co-stars, Bette Midler and Kathy Najimy, while Sarah was filming the sequel. She said, "They were so excited to meet Bette and Kathy. Loretta kept asking me, 'But wait, are we going to meet them as [their characters] Winnie and Mary? Or are we going to meet them as Bette Midler and Kathy Najimy?'" Sarah confirmed her co-stars "were in full costume, but they were themselves, which was confounding in some ways."
Two months after Hulu officially confirmed that Keanu Reeves would lead its "Devil in the White City" series from Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio, Keanu has left the project. Sources say a replacement is already being sought. No word on why Keanu left the project, and neither Hulu reps or Keanu's people are saying what happened, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The Fresno Unified School District announced earlier this week that they received a $20 million donation from the MacKenzie Scott Foundation. School district leaders say the money will be used to create a foundation to help support student success. The donation is the largest the district has ever received, as is usually the case when MacKenzie makes a donation. The second largest was $30,000 they received from her ex's company Amazon just last month. You think she just follows him around trying to outdo his donations?

William Shatner, who was Captain James T. Kirk on "Star Trek," got a ride into space on Blue Origin courtesy of Jeff Bezos, and when he came back, he had nothing but good things to say. But now, according to TMZ, in a new book by William titled "Boldly Go - Reflections on a Life of Awe and Wonder," William said, "My trip to space was supposed to be a celebration; instead, it felt like a funeral." That's a far cry from originally calling it "profound" and "extraordinary."
As we told you last week, Right Said Fred has accused Beyoncé of stealing samples from their hit "I'm Too Sexy" for her song "Alien Superstar." Now, Beyoncé pointed out that her track technically does not actually sample "I'm Too Sexy" but rather it's paraphrased through a re-recording of the elements used. She said because of that, she only needed permission from the songwriting publisher, not Fred and Richard Fairbrass, the brothers who make up Right Said Fred. She did add, however, that the two properly received co-writer credit and were paid for the use of their song, according to Variety.
Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd reunited Saturday for a "Back to the Future" panel at New York Comic Con. When the two former costars met onstage, they hugged, and that was all it took to get thunderous applause from the fans. Michael also addressed the crowd, saying, "You guys have given me my whole life," talking more about his decades-long battle with Parkinson's Disease.
Kim Kardashian was not well received when her face was shown on the big screen during Sunday's Los Angeles Rams game, according to RadarOnline.com. The crowd loudly booed her when she blew a kiss as the announcer said her name. Kardashian was watching the game from one of the VIP suites. To be fair, when they showed John Legend, nobody got excited about him – I mean, at least he wasn't booed. Also getting a shady reception was Emma Stone at the Mets game when the camera panned on her wearing Padres gear.

Dwayne Johnson said on "CBS Sunday morning" that he will not be running for President. He said, "I love our country and everyone in it. I also love being a daddy. And that's the most important thing to me is being a daddy, number one, especially during this time, this critical time in my daughters' lives." Dwaye has 21-year-old daughter Simone Garcia Johnson with his ex-wife, Dany Garcia, and he also has two younger daughters, six-year-old Jasmine and four-year-old Tiana, with his current wife, Lauren Hashian.
MrBeast may consider a run though when he's old enough. When asked about running for president on "Tiny Meat Gang" podcast, he said, "Yeah, maybe in like, 20 years, we'll see. Yeah, I wanna try to make a ton of money and then just give it all away right before I announce my campaign. Imagine I have $10 billion and I just give it all away, and I'm just like, 'I can't be bought.'" MrBeast is 24, so 11 years to go before he could take office.
Kanye may still be seriously considering another run too. He tweeted a photograph of a hat that said 2024, perhaps alluding to his possible 2024 Presidential run.
Justin Bieber has ended his friendship with Ye after Ye attacked Hailey Bieber for defending Vogue editor Gabrielle Karefa-Johnson, after he blasted Kanye for wearing a "White Lives Matter" t-shirt. Kanye called Hailey "nose job Hailey Baldloose" and advised Justin to, "get your girl before I get mad," noting, "You spose to be my friend right." Well, that friendship is over with sources saying Justin and Hailey think Kanye "went too far" and they were left "hurt" by his comments, according to TMZ.
Ed Sheeran surprised locals in his hometown of Ipswich with a performance on the steps of the city's Town Hall. He told the crowd that had gathered, "I've played so many shows here and have such love for this place. I'm so happy to be back here." Ed treated fans to a performance of his debut single "The A Team," performing on a guitar he had just bought at a local music shop. At the end, he signed the guitar and gave it to a 10-year-old fan.
We now know why Gisele Bündchen went to see the holistic healer recently. Gisele was spotted with the woman, who was seen burning a Palo Santo stick around Gisele's SUV, according to Page Six. The two went into the building, presumably for some more healing.
Serena Williams shared a hilarious TikTok video starring her 5-year-old daughter, Olympia. In the video, Olympia is in the bathroom with mom, and she comes across what she thinks is a "cat toy" for their cat, so she starts unwrapping it. It was not a cat toy, and as Olympia starts unwrapping another, Serena says, "You have some more cat toys? OK, let's not, no, let's not play with too many of those," all the while trying not to laugh. She wrote alongside the video, "Who am I to steal her joy, it's a cat toy!" See the video at hellogiggles.com. No word on if the cat enjoyed the cotton on the string that came out of the plastic applicator. To be fair, it does kind of look like a white mouse. If Kotex is smart, they'll expand into the cat toy-making business next.
