Brendan Fraser found a lot of success with the "Mummy" movies, and he'd be open to doing another one, according to Variety. He said, "I don't know how it would work, but I'd be open to it if someone came up with the right conceit." The movie was rebooted in 2017, starring Tom Cruise, but it wasn't exactly a hit. Brendan thinks he knows why. He said, "It is hard to make that movie. The ingredient that we had going for our Mummy, which I didn't see in that film, was fun. That was what was lacking in that incarnation. It was too much of a straight-ahead horror movie. 'The Mummy' should be a thrill ride, but not terrifying and scary." He added, "I know how difficult it is to pull it off.
I tried to do it three times."
Coco Austin is shocked that people are still coming down on her month after she posted a video of herself bathing her 6-year-old daughter in a kitchen sink. She said, "Everything I do, people have got to say something about it. But now it's kinda weird to other people. Like, really? If you are a mom you have bathed your child in the sink."
The GRAMMY Nominations are coming out next month, but you won't be hearing Silk Sonic's name called for Album of the Year. That's because the band, made up of Bruno Mars and Anderson. Paak, has taken themselves out of the consideration. Bruno told Rolling Stone, "We truly put our all on this record, but Silk Sonic would like to gracefully, humbly and most importantly, sexually, bow out of submitting our album this year." The two actually received nominations for "Leave The Door Open" last year, including Song and Record of the Year. But their album "An Evening With Silk didn't come out until November, 2021, making it eligible for this year's awards. Bruno added, "Andy and I, and everyone that worked on this project, won the moment the world responded to 'Leave The Door Open.' Everything else was just icing on the cake. We thank the Grammys for allowing us to perform on their platform — not once but twice — and awarding us at last year's ceremony. We'd be crazy to ask for anything more."

In less than two weeks, Netflix's series "DAHMER - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story" was streamed for over 496 million hours, making it the second most-watched English-language series in a week in Netflix history, behind "Stranger Things" season four. Not everyone is a fan though. According to E! News, some of the victims' families have spoken out about Netflix profiting off their losses. In the meantime, the internet is not here for the Jeffrey Dahmer Halloween costume, calling it disrespectful to the families of his 17 victims. And then there are "those" people - one Instagram user got upset that the platform took down a pic of her as Dahmer getting his mug shot taken, writing, "I worked too hard to be censored!"
Cuba Gooding Jr. has managed to avoid jail time for his forcible touching case, after it was resolved yesterday in New York City, according to an Associated Press report. Cuba Gooding Jr. has complied with the terms of a conditional plea agreement that was reached earlier in the year, by staying out of trouble and completing six months of alcohol and behavior counseling. That lessened his charge, and he will not have a criminal record as a result.
Congratulations to "I Like It" singer Bad Bunny for leading the noms for the 2022 American Music Awards! He's got eight, including his first ever nom for artist of the year. If he does win all eight, he'll tie Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston for most AMAs won in a year. Close behind him with six noms each are Beyonce, Drake, and Taylor Swift, according to Billboard.
A female "friend" of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Erika Jayne's husband Tom Girardi has turned over to the courts an expensive pair of earrings Tom gifted her during his marriage to Erika. It's all related to the investigation into his alleged embezzlement, according to RadarOnline.com. The trustee says the earrings should bring in about $15,000, which isn't going to make much of a dent in the millions upon millions he owes. Hopefully, every little bit helps.

A stunt was being rehearsed for a filming of the CW's "Magic With The Stars," starring magician Criss Angel, earlier this week when "Pony" singer Ginuwine, who was submerged under water in a glass cube, started slamming the sides of the container to signal he wanted out. Ginuwine has a fear of being underwater, but no word on if that's what caused the stunt to go wrong. After getting him out, crew tried to calm him down but he passed out and was taken to the hospital unconscious. His rep said he's doing okay now. "Magic With The Stars" debuts October 22 on the CW.
It seems that things are getting more serious between Renee Zellweger and Ant Anstead. The Daily Mail is reporting that movers were seen at Ant's home, taking some of his things to storage and the rest to Renee's Laguna Beach home. The couple has been living across the street from each other since they started dating last year. One more sign of seriousness in the relationship? Renee met his parents, who were in town from England. In the meantime, with the ongoing custody battle with Ant and his ex, Christina Hall, fans are questioning why Ant is trying to stop Christina from posting pics of their 2-year-old son, Hudson, on social media, but he does it. According to OK, Ant said it's different because Christina is using their kid in her paid ads on social media, adding, "his childhood is not for sale."
Hard to believe, but season one of "House of the Dragon" is nearing its final episode - and the prequel series to "Game of Thrones" appears to be a smash hit for HBO. GoT lasted eight seasons; how long will HotD run? Creator of the entire "Game of Thrones" universe, George R. R. Martin, wrote on his blog yesterday, "It is going to take four full seasons of 10 episodes each to do justice to the Dance of the Dragons, from start to finish."
Tina Turner is getting the Barbie treatment. In honor of the 40th anniversary of "What's Love Got To Do With It," Mattel announced they'll be creating an official Tina Turner Barbie doll. The doll will be part of the company's Music Series, and features Tina Turner in the iconic black mini dress, jean jacket, and tights that she wore in the music video for "What's Love Got to Do With It." Her specialized Barbie will also come with her signature textured and volumized hair, which according to designer Bill Greening, took "lots of teasing and hairspray" to achieve (thank you, Aquanet).
