I know for a fact that I’ve loved this person for a very long time and now would not be the time to give up on him. I just wouldn’t do that to him. Imagine abandoning somebody in the middle of the worst time of their life, potentially. I’m not that type of a person. So I was going to stick it out no matter what the outcome was going to be.”

–Hannah Waddingham and Sharon Stone met on a red carpet this weekend and freaked the hell out over each other.

-The CW drama continues! Batwoman series regular Camrus Johnson weighed in on Ruby Rose’s comments — and he is definitely not taking her side. He tweeted last night, “But yea fam, she was fired. And it is VERY hard to be fired when you’re the lead. Imagine what u have to do for that 2 happen…Since it was claimed she “walked away” last year I’m sure some of you may be pretty confused or upset, and even moreso that a lot of lies were spread today. Just know we have a lot of great souls working on this show and none of this changes that.”

–Kristen Stewart says she was flattered by the social media campaign to cast her as the Joker in Robert Pattinson’s Batman film. “I love the energy behind that. It’s really been done so well.

Angelina Jolie, Gemma Chan, Salma Hayek and Lauren Radloff

She also called out costar Dougray Scott, who she says “yelled like a little bitch at women and was a nightmare.” (My Ever After-loving heart is breaking.) Warner Bros TV responded with their own harsh words, saying she was fired based on an internal investigation of “multiple complaints about workplace behavior that were extensively reviewed.”  Between this, Brandon Routh and Dominic Purcell leaving Legends under not-great-sounding circumstances, and Supergirl’s Jon Cryer liking tweets about boycotting the network, the CW needs to get their house in order.
