–Lizzo is on the cover of Variety and she’s never more relatable than when she talks about being friends with Rihanna: “If she f—s with you, she f—s with you. By the grace of the goddamn stars, she f—s with me. I’m so happy for her being pregnant. I’m like, ‘S–t. I’m about to get pregnant.'”
-A new book details Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy’s hatred of each other on the set of Mad Max: Fury Road. It sounds like Charlize was professional and on time, and Tom was a Method actor who was consistently late, maybe even to piss her off. When he showed up three hours late and she yelled at him, his response made her scared enough that she says she “didn’t feel safe” and a producer was assigned to be with her. It sounds like he chilled out by the end of the shoot, though. Both Theron and Hardy talk about it in this excerpt.
