Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are keeping their onscreen bromance going with a whole new genre. Ryan revealed that he and Jackman are potentially working on another movie together “soon” that will be a departure from the superhero genre. “We have one we’re looking to do soon,” he told Entertainment Weekly. “I would say that [ours] is like any relationship that is successful and works: It’s that two parties are rooting for each other,” said Ryan. “I’m always rooting for Hugh to score and win. I also know the infinite nuance of his heart and his mind and who he is. I can say firsthand that he’s a person who’s not just worth rooting for, he’s somebody who’s impossible to not root for.”

Posted About Two Years Ago

Yesterday, Hunter Biden sued Fox News and its parent company over their production of a fictional miniseries that attorneys for the president's son called "an effort to harass, annoy, alarm, and humiliate him, and tarnish his reputation." The miniseries, called "The Trial of Hunter Biden," is described by Fox as a mock trial that seeks to show "how a possible Hunter Biden trial might look," and includes several sexually graphic images of Hunter Biden. In their suit, filed Monday in New York state court, attorneys for Hunter accuse the network of "politically motivated attacks against the President and his family" and the "unlawful commercial exploitation of Mr. Biden's image, name, and likeness."

Jamie Foxx Says His Mystery Illness Started With A Bad Headache

Posted About Two Years Ago

Jamie Foxx is sharing more details about the mystery illness that landed him in the hospital last April. Jamie talked about the early days of his health scare in a video shared on X by The Art of the Dialogue. “Look, April 11th last year,” Foxx tells a group of people gathered around him at an outdoor café in Phoenix, “Bad headache. I asked my boy for an Advil.” He snaps his fingers. “I was gone for 20 days,” Foxx said. “I don’t remember anything.” “So they told me — I’m in Atlanta — so they told me my sister and my daughter took me to the first doctor,” Foxx said of his sister, Deidra Dixon, and daughter, Corinne Foxx. “They gave me a cortisone shot,” he tells the woman next to him. (A cortisone injection, the Mayo Clinic explains, is used to "relieve pain, swelling and irritation.") He continued: “The next doctor said something’s going on up there," pointing to his head. “I won’t say it on camera,” he said. “But it was…” he trailed off, shrugging, as the video ended.

Posted About Two Years Ago

Just over a month ago, Katy Perry left American Idol after spending seven seasons as a judge on the show. Luke Bryan recently spoke with Billboard and said a few artists’ names have been floated as potential candidates for the role. “I’ve said several names. I think P!nk has been in the talks, Miley Cyrus has been in the talks, Meghan Trainor has been in the talks,” Bryan said. Luke said he’s still waiting to hear who the judges will be for the upcoming 23rd season of American Idol. “It’s been interesting,” he said. “It’s been something Disney been really tightlipped about with me and Lionel and Ryan. We currently haven’t heard what the story is on who’s coming back, and if Lionel and I are coming back. I think Disney is just trying to figure out what they want to do and we’re just kind of sitting back and waiting until they decide.”
