-In her Elle cover storyGal Gadot says she immediately reported Joss Whedon when they clashed on the Justice League set. “Oh, I was shaking trees as soon as it happened. And I must say that the heads of Warner Brothers, they took care of it…You’re dizzy because you can’t believe this was just said to you. And if he says it to me, then obviously he says it to many other people. I just did what I felt like I had to do. And it was to tell people that it’s not okay…But my sense of justice is very strong. I was shocked by the way that he spoke to me.”

Angelina Jolie’s kids joined her at the Eternals premiere, and her daughter Zahara wore the same dress her mom wore to the 2014 Oscars. I love this.

-The BBC asked TV critics to rank the top 100 TV shows of the 21st century.

Simmons, Nina Arianda, Tony Hale and Alia Shawkat.

She told Vogue Australia, “At the beginning of the pandemic last year, I got locked down in Melbourne with one of my best mates and we fell in love…We’ve been friends since 2014, lived together, traveled together, always excited to see each other, but totally platonic. We’ve just never been single at the same time. I proposed and we got married in February in my backyard.”

Zendaya graces the cover of InStyle’s Best Dressed issue and talks about her evolving style. “When I was 14 and at my first movie premiere, my outfit was a bunch of stuff that I had from Target.

Adele has confirmed that her new album will be called 30 and will drop Nov 19, calling it “my ride or die throughout the most turbulent period of my life.

Raven-Symone says that when she was asked to join The View, they promised her the topics were moving away from political discussions. “I got catfished. I feel like I just got catfished.
