Meta revealed a set of themed AI chatbots in a conference held in California this week, and a standout was the Dungeon Master portrayed by Snoop Dogg. Mark Zuckerberg directed this particular part of the Meta Connect showcase on Wednesday and said that users will be able to “invoke Meta AI” anywhere in their conversations on their phone. “This isn’t just gonna be about answering queries – this is about entertainment… we did something a little different for us, we partnered with a bunch of pretty awesome people to basically embody these and play them,” he continued, showing off the Victor, who is portrayed by former Miami Heat basketball player Dwyane Wade. There is also Bru portrayed by Tom Brady, and Max portrayed by chef Roy Choi. All of these chatbots were created for a range of conversations – Max will assist with any culinary questions whereas Amber specializes in true crime. As the Dungeon Master, Snoop Dogg wore a red leather collared cape, a set of armor and a gold chain with a sword. “Now you can just drop the Dungeon Master into one of your chats,” said Zuckerberg in the presentation and demoed a short adventure described by the rapper.

New DC Studios president James Gunn has already made some sweeping changes to the DC movie landscape, but it seems at least three existing characters will return. Gunn made headlines when he essentially fired Henry Cavill as Superman and revealed a third Wonder Woman project won't be moving forward either. The first project to move ahead is the animated series Creature Commandos, debuting on Max next year, followed by Superman: Legacy, with David Corenswet as Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, hitting theaters in July 2025. Gunn jumped on social media yesterday and confirmed three existing DCEU characters will continue in his new DC Universe canon. He confirmed on Threads that, “Xolo Maridueña will continue playing Blue Beetle in the DCU, as Viola Davis will Amanda Waller, and John Cena will Peacemaker.”

Travis Kelce's ex-girlfriend Maya Benberry has warned Taylor Swift to stay vigilant amid her new romance with the NFL star, after previously accusing him of being unfaithful during their short-lived relationship. Benberry dated the Kansas City Chiefs player for several months after winning his E! dating reality series Catching Kelce in 2016. However, they soon split and the reality star went on to accuse Travis of cheating on her when he embarked on his next relationship with sports broadcaster Kayla Nicole in a series of now-deleted tweets. Maya told DailyMail: “Once a cheater always a cheater.” She said: “Taylor seems like such a fun girl with a beautiful spirit so I wish her the best of luck but I wouldn’t be a girls' girl if I didn’t advise her to be smart! I’m sure by now she has mastered the ability to see who is really there for her - and who is just using her. She continued: “I can only hope that she comes out the teacher in this situation and not the student.”

Detectives are investigating a number of allegations of sexual assault in London against Russell Brand, more than a week after the bombshell report in which multiple women accused him of rape, sexual attacks and/or abuse. Brand was accused of raping, sexually assaulting and abusing four women over the course of seven years — including a 16-year-old he allegedly called “the child” — in a joint investigation by The Sunday Times of London, the Times of London and Channel 4 Dispatches published Sept. 16. Brand has asked fans to turn their moral support into financial support as he’s feeling the pinch. He urged his followers to fork over $60 annually to become paying subscribers on Rumble — a video app that is a rival of YouTube, and is committed to free speech. His request came just hours after London’s Metropolitan Police launched a full-scale investigation into “a number of allegations of sexual offenses” against Brand, who has vehemently denied them.

Deborra-Lee Furness has spoken out for the first time since her split from Hugh Jackman after answering a cold call from radio personalities Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O Henderson. The radio duo accidentally called the Australian actress live on air and were shocked when she answered the phone. “We have actually called you by mistake, it's ridiculous. Seriously, this isn't a stitch up,” Kyle told Deborra-Lee. “We didn't mean to actually call you. But now you're here, we won't go into it. We love you, we hope you're well.” “Thank you guys, I really appreciate it. You're really sweet,” she said. Before hanging up, she said: “Thank you, guys. I really, really appreciate it.”

Emma Heming Willis, Bruce Willis’ wife appeared on NBC’s “Today” yesterday. She talked about how he’s doing (Bruce has frontotemporal dementia (FTD) - an uncommon form of dementia which causes a deterioration in behavior, personality and language). ‘Dementia is hard," Emma said. “It’s hard on the person diagnosed, it’s also hard on the family. And that is no different for Bruce, or myself, or our girls. When they say this is a family disease, it really is." Emma said it’s unclear if her husband is aware of his condition. "It's hard to know," she said. Emma said she calls herself a "care partner," rather than a caretaker. "It’s important for care partners to look after themselves so that they can be the best care partner for the person they’re caring for," she said.

A reboot of NBC’s The Office is reportedly in the works, headed by original series co-creator and executive producer Greg Daniels. A Puck News says the project should be formally announced when the Writers Guild of America strike officially ends; the WGA and AMPTP came to a tentative deal Sunday night that could end the strike soon, should it be ratified by the Writers Guild.

The Writers Guild of America reached a tentative deal yesterday with film and TV studios that would end a nearly five-month strike and get Hollywood rolling again. Union officials emailed WGA members yesterday informing them a new three-year agreement was tentatively reached. They called the new contract “exceptional” and said it would have “meaningful gains and protections for writers in every sector of the membership.”

Dwayne Johnson shared an Instagram video with fans Saturday night, after one follower asked him to explain the benefits and drawbacks of fame. "For me, the drawbacks are, there are no drawbacks to fame," Johnson said. "I have been a lucky son of a b**ch to have been famous for a long time, and I realize that there are no drawbacks to fame because I remember how s--- once was," he added. "Back in the day, the alternative to fame was not being famous, and I couldn't pay rent, I was struggling to figure out who I was, I was broke as f---. I try my best to keep all of that in the forefront of my mind." As for the benefits, outside of "free tacos," Johnson shared that the greatest of them all is "being able to impact people in a positive way around the world."

Advance tickets sales for the Taylor Swift: Eras Tour concert movie have reached $65 million-plus, according to reports. That’s a figure comprising the top three U.S. circuits (AMC, Regal and Cinemark), Canada’s Cineplex and Mexico’s Cinépolis. That figure, which comes a month before its October 13 opening, already bests the U.S.-Canada advance ticket sales of movies like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness ($60 million) and The Batman ($42 million); those numbers were clocked just prior to those movies’ respective opening dates.

The series will center on a married couple who are also spies, though it’s said to have a different tone than its predecessor which was an action-comedy-rom-com of sorts.

Bill Maher is going back to work without his writers. Maher announced on social media yesterday that Real Time with Bill Maher will return to HBO.

Matthew McConaughey appeared on “The View” yesterday to promote his new book Just Because, fielding a bunch of questions. Joy Behar appeared to hit a nerve with the actor during a discussion about his potential run for office in his home state of Texas. "As far as office, I will always measure what category I can be most useful," he said. Referencing McConaughey's activism following the deadly 2022 school shooting in his hometown of Uvalde, Behar asked, "Do you think you can get elected in Texas, being anti-gun?" The actor paused for a moment and repeated the question to himself before raising his finger in Behar's face. "One thing about me and politics is, to give you a direct statement right there is me playing a game I'm not interested in playing," he replied. Behar urged him not to say anything if he didn't want to. When the show returned from a commercial break for a segment that revealed a wax figure made in McConaughey's likeness, cohost Sunny Hostin addressed the issue. "I did want to say that I've done a lot of research in terms of your advocacy, and I don't know that you're anti-gun, I think you're pro-gun responsibility and legislation," Hostin said. The panelists then proceeded to unveil the wax figure.

The National Book Awards dropped Drew Barrymore as the host of this year’s ceremony following the news that The Drew Barrymore Show will resume production in spite of the ongoing Hollywood writers’ strike. In a statement, the National Book Foundation, which hands out the prestigious annual awards, made it clear that the return of Barrymore’s show is the reason for their decision: “The National Book Awards is an evening dedicated to celebrating the power of literature, and the incomparable contributions of writers to our culture. In light of the announcement that The Drew Barrymore Show will resume production, the National Book Foundation has rescinded Ms. Barrymore’s invitation to host the 74th National Book Awards ceremony.”

Kevin Costner's Hollywood lawyer Laura Wasser slammed her client's ex Christine Baumgartner, for asking him to pay $885K in legal fees. Baumgartner - who was recently ordered to pay a $14K sanction - filed a request with a judge to get her ex to pay $885K for her lawyer’s fees... to argue just one sole issue in divorce court. The issue at hand is whether her waiver of spousal support is enforceable. Wasser said the ask is “nothing nothing short of outrageous.” Wasser claims that, based on hourly rates, Baumgartner's lawyers would have to rack up 1,106 billable hours to justify that amount.

The MTV Video Music Awards show airs tonight.

An upcoming NFL game will undergo a whimsical transformation into a fully animated competition within the Toy Story universe. Scheduled for October 1st, the Jacksonville Jaguars and Atlanta Falcons will face off in a unique event titled "Toy Story Funday Football." This distinctive game will commence at 9:30 a.m. ET and will be accessible on Disney+ and ESPN+. Notably, it's included in the NFL's annual series of international games, with London's Wembley Stadium serving as the grand stage. The encounter will be exclusively available through streaming platforms, with the primary broadcast streamable on ESPN+. Additionally, fans can catch the Falcons-Jaguars match on NFL+. Utilizing the NFL's cutting-edge Next Gen Stats and on-field tracking data, each player and play will unfold within the iconic backdrop of "Andy's Room" — the vibrant setting synonymous with the beloved Toy Story franchise. The animated action will closely align with the main game telecast, with most plays artfully recreated, albeit with a slight delay of approximately 30 seconds. Throughout the event, characters like Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and others will make appearances, participating from the sidelines and contributing to various non-gameplay aspects.

Ashton Kutcher has come under fire again, this time for making a comment about Hilary Duff while she was underage. A resurfaced clip shows Kutcher - who's been slammed over his support of convicted rapist Danny Masterson — in a 2003 episode of his show Punk’d, where he spoke about a then 15-year-old Duff (now 35) during the introduction segment. “Hilary Duff is in Lizzie McGuire, she also has an album out. She’s going to be in a movie called Cheaper by the Dozen. And she’s one of the girls that we’re all waiting for to turn 18. Along with the Olsen twins,” he added. While Hilary was just 15, Mary-Kate and Ashley would have been 17-years-old at the time, while Kutcher was 25-years-old.

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis released a statement to apologize for the letters they wrote in support of Danny Masterson in the rape trial the That 70s Show star was convicted of. “We are aware of the pain that has been caused by the character letters that we wrote on behalf of Danny Masterson,” Kutcher says in a video he shared on Instagram alongside his wife. Kunis continued, “We support victims. We have done this historically through our work and will continue to do so in the future.” Kutcher said that a “couple of months ago, Danny’s family reached out to us. And they asked us to write character letters to represent the person that we knew for 25 years so that the judge could take that into full consideration relative to the sentencing.” “The letters were not written to question the legitimacy of the judicial system or the validity of the jury’s ruling,” Kunis added. Kutcher went on to say that the letters were “not to undermine the testimony of the victims,” adding, “We would never want to do that. And we’re sorry if that has taken place.” Kunis finished with: Our heart goes out to every single person who’s ever been a victim of sexual assault, sexual abuse or rape.”

Haunted Mansion, Disney’s film inspired by the famed theme park ride, will start streaming on Disney+ on October 4. The movie hit theaters July 28. The movie tells the story of a woman and her son who enlist a motley crew of so-called spiritual experts to help them rid their home of supernatural squatters. Cast includes LaKeith Stanfield, Tiffany Haddish, Owen Wilson, Danny DeVito, Rosario Dawson, Chase W. Dillon and Daniel Levy, with Jamie Lee Curtis and Jared Leto as The Hatbox Ghost.

Sharon Osbourne isn't a fan of Ashton Kutcher. During a recent E! News segment titled "Stirring the Pot," Sharon identified Kutcher as the rudest celebrity she's ever met — although she couldn't actually remember his name at first. "The guy that's married to an actress and he used to do That '70s Show," Osbourne said when asked to reveal the rudest famous person she'd ever encountered. After being reminded of Kutcher's name, Sharon confirmed, "Yes! Oh, rude, rude, rude, rude, rude little boy." She didn't offer any details, but added, "Rude, rude, yes. Dastardly little thing."

“That ’70s Show” star Danny Masterson was sentenced yesterday to 30 years to life in prison for raping two women more than two decades ago at his Hollywood Hills home. Masterson, 47, was hit with the punishment four months after he was convicted on two of the three rape counts he faced at his retrial in Los Angeles. Danny has repeatedly denied sexually assaulting the women. Masterson had been charged with raping three women — identified at trial as Jane Doe #1, Jane Doe #2 and Jane Doe #3 — between 2001 and 2003. Masterson’s first trial ended in November 2022 with a mistrial, with jurors leaning toward acquittal. His second trial ended with the actor being convicted of raping Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2 but not Jane Doe #3. All three accusers are former members of the Church of Scientology, to which Masterson still belongs.

Staff members of the “Tonight Show” have leveled accusations against Jimmy Fallon, alleging instances of erratic behavior in what they describe as a challenging work environment. A report published by Rolling Stone yesterday featured accounts from two current and fourteen former employees, spanning roles from production crew members to office staff and show writers. They referred to distinct “good Jimmy days” and “bad Jimmy days.” According to a former employee quoted in the report, there was a sense that nobody dared to challenge Jimmy's decisions, resulting in an atmosphere where everyone tiptoed cautiously, particularly the showrunners. The former employee stated, “You never knew which Jimmy we were going to get and when he was going to throw a hissy fit. Look at how quickly many showrunners came and went; we know they didn't last long.” However, it's worth noting that some sources have pointed out that many of these allegations stem from former staffers and that the work environment has undergone significant changes since new showrunner Chris Miller assumed the role in May of last year. One source said: “He's brought a renewed sense of enthusiasm and positivity to the show. Chris takes pride in being accessible to the staff and maintaining transparent leadership. He's precisely what the show needed.” Additionally, two employees claimed that Jimmy appeared to be intoxicated at work in 2017, while a couple of others reported having detected the odor of alcohol on his breath during separate encounters in an elevator in 2019 and 2020. Krystie Lee Yandoli, the woman who wrote the article for Rolling Stone, appeared on "Entertainment Tonight" yesterday.

Yesterday, Disney slashed the price of streaming service Disney+ to under $2 as its channels remain blacked out amid an epic battle with cable provider Charter Communications. Disney lowered its advertising-based tier to $1.99 from its current price of $7.99 a month. The promotion, which runs through Sept. 20, charges the bargain-basement price for only three months before returning to the previous rate.

Kourtney Kardashian Barker has revealed the family emergency her husband, Travis Barker, flew back home for while on tour overseas. Kourtney posted a photo on Instagram of her holding hands with Barker with an IV in her arm. “I will be forever grateful to my incredible doctors for saving our baby’s life,” she wrote. “I am eternally grateful to my husband who rushed to my side from tour to be with me in the hospital and take care of me afterwards, my rock. And to my mom, thank you for holding my hand through this.” She then explained the procedure she underwent for her unborn child. “As someone who has had three really easy pregnancies in the past, I wasn’t prepared for the fear of rushing into urgent fetal surgery,” she continued. “I don’t think anyone who hasn’t been through a similar situation can begin to understand that feeling of fear. I have a whole new understanding and respect for the mamas who have had to fight for their babies while pregnant.” “Praise be to God. Walking out of the hospital with my baby boy in my tummy and safe was the truest blessing.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger opened up about his near-death experience on the operating table. In a YouTube video, he said: “I remember when I had my open heart surgery, the third one, which was just a few years ago just before we started ‘Terminator 6.' I was really freaking out. I woke up and all of a sudden the doctors were in front of me saying, ‘I’m so sorry, but it was unlike what we planned.'” He explained that what was supposed to be a simple non-invasive procedure became more complicated when his medical team “made a mistake and poked through the heart wall.” Schwarzenegger added that they had to open him up very quickly to save his life due to internal bleeding.

Chris Rock was among the fortunate few who were able to flee the disastrous scene at the Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert — thanks to the help of a fan with a pickup truck. Thousands of fans remained stranded after a heavy rain fell on the festival, which trapped the festival goers in thick mud. Attendees were told to conserve food and water while the event’s organizers worked with authorities to get everyone off the grounds. Diplo — a DJ who also appeared at the festival — posted a video to Instagram detailing the trek he and Rock made to escape. “A fan offered Chris Rock and I a ride out of Burning Man in a pickup,” Diplo explained in the video caption. He proceeded to show Rock and five other passengers in the bed of the truck. Before Diplo and Rock could be picked up, they had to trudge through six miles of mud. “I legit walked the side of the road for hours with my thumb out,” Diplo wrote in the caption. Rock seemed to be in good spirits after making his way to safety. “If I could get a cold brew right now…” Rock said in the video, from the back of the pickup.

Kevin Costner got what he asked for.

On Friday, the Yellowstone actor, 68, was ordered to pay his estranged wife Christine $63,209 per month in child support, granting Kevin his proposed amount after a two-day court hearing in Santa Barbara.

In July, Kevin had been tentatively ordered to make monthly payments of $129,755 to the mother of his three kids — Cayden, 16, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 13. Earlier this week, Christine, 49, filed a request to increase that amount to $175,057 — a $46,000-plus increase. She reduced that figure to $161,592 during a court hearing on Thursday, following a forensic accountant’s latest assessment.

“My biggest concern is that the court orders me to pay child support that is above the needs of my children and for the needs of Christine,” Kevin said in court on Friday when he took the stand.

On the stand, Christine explained how a decrease in financial status would affect their kids. She said in part their children are “very connected to the ocean — it’s their home,” and noted the surf garage is 50 steps from “toes in the water."

“It’s so much more than this — it’s an experience," Christine told the court as she looked at evidentiary photos. "We’ve created quite a community," she added, repeatedly referring to the Santa Barbara compound she vacated as “ours." The home, as stated in court, includes a volleyball court, a garden, an infinity pool and two guest houses.

In July, a source told PEOPLE that Christine moved out of the family’s house on the $145 million Santa Barbara compound that she shared with Kevin, as per the terms of their prenup. She initially stayed at a smaller house on the property, then moved to a nearby rental home for $40,000 per month, as confirmed in court Thursday.

At the time of their split, a rep for the actor said in a statement, "It is with great sadness that circumstances beyond his control have transpired which have resulted in Mr. Costner having to participate in a dissolution of marriage action."

Jimmy Kimmel says that Matt Damon and Ben Affleck offered to pitch in and help cover his Jimmy Kimmel Live staff's salaries during the ongoing Hollywood strikes. Kimmel joined forces with Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers and John Oliver to launch the Strike Force Five podcast on Spotify earlier this week, with the proceeds set to benefit their respective out-of-work staffers as the Writer's Guild of America strike -- which began in May -- continues. In its debut episode, Kimmel reveals his real-life friends' generosity. "Ben Affleck and the despicable Matt Damon contacted me and offered to pay our staff," Kimmel revealed. Kimmel said Affleck and Damon wanted to pay out of their own pockets, suggesting they could each cover one week's worth of his employees' salaries. Kimmel said he turned down the offer, saying, "I felt that that was not their responsibility." Ryan Reynolds also apparently proposed to chip in and support Kimmel's staff, offering them free Mint Mobile service for a year. Mint Mobile serves as one of the podcast's sponsors.
