-Awful: Kelis‘ husband Mike Mora has passed away at age 37 after a battle with cancer.

-Speaking of the Lost City premiere, Sandra Bullock said she will probably take a long break before her next acting gig. So, the usual?

-This obit for William Hurt strikes a good balance of celebrating his on-screen performances while grappling with his off-camera ugliness. “On a day we should simply be able to grieve the loss of one of the most distinctive performers in cinema, we must also become reacquainted with the idea that some people knew him only as a monster.”

-The Kids in the Hall movie is getting good reviews out of SXSW.

Jonathan Bailey says the intimacy coordinators take their job on Bridgerton very seriously, and they’ve introduced some new tricks to protect actors during sex scenes this year: “If there are two people doing a sex scene, the rule is they must have three barriers separating them. And there are certain acts where a half-inflated netball can allow for movement without having to connect physically.”

And it came just hours after she was being celebrated for calling Sam Elliot a bitch in a red carpet interview. She has since apologized to Serena and Venus Williams for her “thoughtless remark.”

-The most charming speech of the night came courtesy of Kieran Culkin.
