Jeremy Renner Broke His Arms in Stunt

Variety reports that while filming the new comedy movie Tag, actor Jeremy Renner broke both of his arms during a stunt. Renner fractured his right elbow and his left wrist. Renner seemed in good spirits about the injury, stating "That's how it goes. It's part of the job."

Alison Sweeney Granted Restraining Order Against Troll

TMZ reports that Alison Sweeney has been granted a restraining order from an online troll. Jon Christopher LuVisi must stay at least 1,000 feet away from Sweeney, her home, car, work, and her children's school. This troll dude has been harassing her with at least 15 different accounts. Here's where it gets super random - apparently California Highway Patrol contact the troll's wife, and she claims that her trolly husband was catfished by someone claiming to be Sweeney, and that's where this stems from. Troll dude has been harassing and threatening Sweeney on her social media accounts, and every time she would block him, he would come back at her with a brand new troll account. Let's hope he sticks to the restraining order!

Ben Affleck Has a New Girlfriend

E! News reports that Ben Affleck is dating again. He has recently been spotted around town with Lindsay Shookus, and producer at Saturday Night Live. A source says of the new couple, "It's more than a summer fling. They are having fun and care for each other. It's early and they are taking it slow." The couple were spotted out to dinner together in Los Angeles on Thursday.

Us Weekly is reports that this relationship is not in fact new, and that Affleck started dating Shookus back in 2015. Hmmm...

Blind Gossip Exclusive Blind Item - Bye Beach Boyfriend

We’ve been talking about this fake couple since last year. She is from a family of famous actors and is at the beginning of her acting career. He is a film franchise veteran.

Friends? Yes. But the boyfriend/girlfriend act they had been trying to pull off? Bizarre! Was he comforting her? Was he taking advantage of her? Who knows.

In any case, his motives probably don’t matter much anymore… because they are currently on the outs. They haven’t spoken in almost a month. Supposedly it has something to do with him hanging out with his “ex girlfriend” again (Yes, the same one he dumped before he started clinging to our actress.)

We don’t know if this break is temporary or permanent, but we’ll consider this relationship in its twilight stage… unless they start posting fake romantic beach photos again.

Lena Headey Opens Up About Motherhood and Fame

Lena Headey recently sat down for an interview with Net-a-Porter's The Edit, conducted by her Game of Thrones co-star Maisie Williams. Here's what she had to say:

MAISIE WILLIAMS: What, for you, has been Cersei’s best moment?

LENA HEADEY: I think the highlight was [last season] when she blew up the Great Sept of Baelor, then just enjoyed her wine. And this season coming, because she’s lost everything. Whatever was good [in her life] has been erased and she’s a horrible cow to one particular character… It’s really quite loathsome.

MW: You’ve told me that you were a rebellious teenager…


LH: [Laughs] Yes, I would sneak boys into my house all the time. We lived in a tiny little house in Yorkshire with a tiny little landing, and one night my boyfriend got up to have a wee and found my mum sitting naked on the toilet. She was screaming, he was screaming, and my dad comes out of the bedroom and literally chased him out of the house, naked.

MW: Now that you’re a mother, do you worry about what your kids are going to get up to?

LH: Yes, and that’s why my mum loves to say, “There’s karma.” I was talking to a colleague the other day about raising children, and I said, “I’ve got a son [Wylie, seven] and a daughter [Teddy, two], and I know my son is going to enjoy his time sleeping with girls” – well, I know he is – but then I thought of my daughter and had an instinctive reaction: “No! No one’s touching you!” My mum’s like, welcome to the world of children.

MW: You’d been working for a long time before the role of Cersei came along. How did you adapt to the fame of the show?


LH: I’ve been acting for 25 years and this has opened a lot of doors for me. I can now say I’d like to produce something and people don’t just say, “Ha, whatever” – they’ll listen to a conversation at least. But it’s not changed my life because I did my madness when I was younger. I’d probably be dead
if [fame] had happened to me when I was young. The things it allows you to do, the places it takes you, the people you meet, the parties you go to... It’s bonkers.

MW: Being a woman in this industry is sometimes not the easiest. How have you found that?

LH: I was talking about this with another actress, and I said, “Do you find that you have to say the same things seven times, whereas a man says it once and everyone listens?” Male counterparts can say the same thing [I just did] and everyone’s like, “Oh, that’s a great idea,” and I’m like, “I just said that 19 times but you chose not to listen or take it on board.”

MW: You said that being a woman meant being judged on your looks as soon as you walk into a room.


LH: Yes. I’m happier now I’m older, playing women who aren’t expected to be beautiful. That pressure has gone for me. [Male] actors can be ‘interesting’, but there’s a real pressure on women to be beautiful and skinny. When I was in my twenties, and doing a lot of audition tapes in the States, a casting director told me: “The men take these tapes home and watch them and say, ‘Who would you fuck?’” I’ve never played the game of going in [to auditions] and flirting; I’ve never done it.

Blind Gossip Blind Item - Exhausting Family

This famous athlete/singer couple is engaged in an interesting negotiation.

She wants five or six full-family photos ops before the summer is over. He only wants to do two or three.

"He is fine with the staged paparazzi shots when he is out with her, but he doesn’t like that to spill over to his family. She wants to present as one big happy family (Let’s do photos at a picnic/ the amusement park/ the zoo/ the beach!), but having her trying to control everyone and stage shots with him and the kids to try to present a certain image (Look how happy we are!) is exhausting to him."

Andrew Garfield Is a Gay Straight Man

Andrew Garfield is currently performing in Angels in America, and recently gave an interview to Out Magazine, where he had this to say:

"Every Sunday I would have eight friends over and we would just watch Ru. I mean every single series of RuPaul’s Drag Race. I mean every series. This is my life outside of this play. I am a gay man right now just without the physical act—that’s all."

In case you were wondering what he meant, he further clarified by stating this:
“As far as I know, I am not a gay man. Maybe I’ll have an awakening later in my life, which I’m sure will be wonderful and I’ll get to explore that part of the garden, but right now I’m secluded to my area, which is wonderful, as well."

Well, that clears everything right up then!

Rod Stewart Renews Vows

Alec Baldwin isn't the only one to get in on the vow renewal action. Rod Stewart has as well, and he topped Baldwin by selling the photos to Hello! Magazine. Rod Stewart, 72, renewed his vows to wife of 10 years Penny Lancaster, 46. Their sons Alastair, 11, and Aiden, 6, attended the ceremony as did Stewart's children from previous relationships Kimberly, 37, and her daughter Delilah, 5, Sean, 36, Renee, 25, and Liam, 22. Here's what the couple had to say exclusively to Hello! Magazine:

Rod: “Penny is my whole world. What a girl. Love means many things to many people but to me it’s wanting to share everything with the one you love and I love Penny more now than ever, if that is at all possible. It was a beautifully romantic thing to do. We’re not proving anything, just sharing our love with our friends and family...Having family and friends there was everything. It makes you stop to think how lucky you are. With so much unrest, violence and loss in this world, family is everything.”

Penny: “Being able to reflect on those ten years and say those words to one another and still know we mean them is important. This felt more special. You get married with the hope that you’ll be together. When we renewed our vows, we said them not with just hope but with a reassurance. Along with hope, there is also faith, love and bringing all the family together.”

Patton Oswalt is Engaged

Page Six reports that Patton Oswalt, 48, is engaged to Meredith Salenger, 47. The couple took their relationship public last month, at the Los Angeles premiere of the movie Baby Driver. This will be the second marriage for Oswalt; his wife Michelle McNamara passed away on April 21, 2016. Oswalt has one child with McNamara, daughter Alice, 8. Wishing the best of luck to the happy couple!

Blind Gossip Exclusive Blind Item - Game of Thrones Coup

Guess who is shockingly trying to capitalize on the publicity surrounding the new season of Game of Thrones?

One of Varys’ little birds is whispering to Blind Gossip that America’s favorite reality Mom is planning a Game of Thrones coup!

Act I: Have one daughter (or two) become BFFs with the sensational young actress who plays one of the leads on the show.

Act II: Pretend that the actress is so impressed with her new BFF that she simply had to set her up with one of the hot young actors on the show!

Act III: Have the daughter date a hot young actor from the show.

Mom’s dream combination is to have her model daughter date the lead actor with the dark curly hair. Yes, he would have to ditch the wee actress lass he was supposed to be dating, but that’s a minor detail.

If this publicity stunt does happen, expect to see Act I in the next couple of weeks. Let the games begin!

Tamara Tattles Blind Item - Circuit Raisin

I learned a new term this weekend, “circuit raisin.”  Apparently, in Provincetown where all the rich gays have second homes, the lesser gays have something called circuit week. Every year for the week over July 4th ,there is a big ole gay event called Circuit Week which looks to me to be a lot like what spring break used to be in the 1980s.  Pool parties, pot, miscellaneous other illicit activities appear to be the think. There is a place called Dick Dock where lots of sexual activity and um partying occurs.

While the rich folks are going to high-end garden parties thrown by very wealthy party planners, the damn tourists are at the dick dock doing exactly what it sounds like. It draws a younger crowd of hot guys hooking up. Older desperate guys hanging around the action are called circuit raisins. 

Well my spies say that one circuit raisin is a guy we all know and loathe.  Dick Dock is an appropriate place for him. And in this case it is decidedly NOT VP Pence. Because allegedly, he is much more discreet.

Updated because I asked my source why it was called “circuit week.” Here is what he said…

“Circuit parties happen around the country and attract a lot of party boys.  Tons of drugs, tons of sex. Probably the most famous are the White Party, which is now in Palm Springs I think and the Black Party, which is in NYC.  Used to be at the Saint but now is at different places. The NYC event is probably the sleaziest of all of them. Then there is Southern Decadence in NoLa which has become very big.  So they form basically a circ

Provincetown hosts Independence Day every year, which is pretty much wall to wall twinks and the men who love them.  Although I have to say the twinks seem to be getting older and fatter every year. lol
P.P.S. My friends with property in Ptown say all the cool kids are at Pride Madrid right now.

James Franco is a Ladies Man

James Franco recently sat down for an interview with W Magazine ahead of the debut of his new HBO show The Deuce. Here are some highlights from his interview:

When did you know you were going to be an actor?
I started acting my senior year in high school. I had loved movies since as long as I can remember. Then finally my senior year, I started acting. And I had a girlfriend in the drama program, and she had been asked to do a one-act by this guy. And he had written this one-act and was directing and starring in it. It was this romantic piece, and they were gonna make out in it. And I got really jealous, and I begged her not to do it. But she did it anyway, as she should have. I realize in hindsight that I was jealous probably more because he had constructed this whole thing and he'd written it and directed it and was acting in it—it was, like, all the things that I wanted to do. And so as my revenge, I decided that I would join the drama class. I got the leads in the last two plays that year.

Then I hadn't applied to any drama schools 'cause I was too late, and so I wasn't in the theater program at UCLA. But I was in L.A., and there was, like, a guy in my dorm that was on the show Cybill, with Cybill Shepherd. It was just all around me, and I was like, "Well, I, I need to do this now." So I dropped out of school. My parents wouldn't support me anymore. So I worked at McDonald's for two or three months.

Oh, wow. You wore the uniform.
Oh, yeah. I got a couple dates from the drive-thru window. [Laughter.]Tthen I got a Pizza Hut commercial, and then not long after that I did Freaks and Geeks. So it all worked out.

I can't believe you worked at McDonald's. How did you get dates from the drive-thru?
Well, they didn't go so well. I was in acting class, and I would practice different accents in the drive-thru, like really bad accents. But people believed me. So I'd be like [in terrible Italian-American accent] "Hey, welcome to McDonald's. May I help you?" You know, like, that bad.

And I'd always know that they were interested 'cause they'd come back around. So, you know, a young lady would be like, "Oh, I forgot the, uh, strawberry milkshake."She'd come back and she'd be like, "Well, I'm trying to learn Italian. Maybe you could give me some Italian lessons." I'd go [in accent], "Yeah, yeah, sure." But then there were a couple, I guess, with my Irish accent or, like, my Brooklyn accent—those I could go out on dates with. You know, we went to see Titanic, and I had to keep it up. You know, so like [in equally bad Brooklyn accent], "Whoa, Leonardo. Wow, he was amazing. Yo, oh."

Then I always had to break it to 'em, 'cause they'd call me, and it was before cell phones. So I'd pick up the phone, I didn't know who it was. And I'd be like [in regular voice], "Hello?"


And they'd be like, "James, is that you? What happened to your accent?" It was always the worst, as if I was this huge imposter. I just saw this play, Dear Evan Hansen. It was sort of like that. Like, I had to come clean: "Hey, I'm not from Brooklyn. I'm from Palo Alto." And they just look at me like I'm a complete stranger. And it usually ended right there.

...You weren't nervous about directing yourself?

I directed myself in a lot of projects.

I know, but it's hard to do twins as an actor.

It is. Well, so then I had to prove myself. I directed the third episode—it turns out that that was the episode with the most twin scenes of all.

This is what I love about you. You always have to make things more complicated.
I know.

Has that just always been your DNA?

Lynn, I'm insane. I'm insane. That's why; that's what happened. Who would want to not only direct themselves, but direct themselves in two roles? Like, that's insane. But it did go well.

Blind Gossip Blind Item - True Blue Meanies

We usually talk about celebrities who behave badly. In this case, though, we’re going to talk about the behavior of a film crew on a recent production. They seemed determined to make the life of this female multi-hyphenate as miserable as possible.

"The crew hated her. They knew she doesn’t like Madonna, so they would wear Madonna t-shirts and play Madonna music whenever they could just to bother her. They would talk about great “Truth or Dare” was in front of her. One crew member said that he was going to purposely wear a “True Blue” shirt just to piss her off. [Actress] saw him the next day and confronted him. She was yelling, “What is this? Are you deliberately trying to provoke me?” She tried to have him fired. She’s got some serious mental issues if she can’t even handle someone wearing a stupid t-shirt!"

Maria Menounos Reveals She Had a Brain Tumor

Maria Menounos recently sat down for an interview with People, where she revealed that she had a brain tumor removed, and that her mother is fighting stage 4 brain cancer. Here's what she had to say:

“I’d been getting lightheaded on set and having headaches. My speech had gotten slurred and I was having difficulty reading the teleprompter. (An MRI revealed Menounos had a golf-ball-size meningioma brain tumor that was pushing on her facial nerves). I didn’t cry. I actually laughed. It’s so surreal and crazy and unbelievable that my mom has a brain tumor—and now I have one too?”

Her surgeon was able to remove 99.9 percent of the tumor, which was benign:
“He said there’s a six to seven percent chance that we’ll see it come back. But I’ll take those odds any day.”

On her recovery:
“I don’t have my balance fully yet but as long as I’m holding on to Keven, I’m sturdy and fine. My face is still numb. This is something that takes at least a month of healing, but I’m getting stronger and stronger every day and I’ll be back to normal very soon.”

On leaving E! News and re-evaluating her life:
“We’re caretakers as women and we put ourselves last. I tell people all the time if your car is making a weird noise, you take it to the mechanic. How come when our body is making weird noises, we ignore it? I’m so lucky that I went to the doctor and raised the alarm.”

First I wanna say thank you all for the well wishes, prayers and support. It's been a crazy time here in our home. I want you all to know that I'm ok! Seriously I'm recovering well and should be as good as new very very soon! Luckily I don't need any further treatments but I can't say the same about my mom. So please keep her in your prayers. I also want to thank @people for allowing me to share my story. @juliejordanc & @mrjesscagle THANK YOU' Next-I need to thank everyone at @cedarssinai everyone there has been amazing. Most people want to rush out of the hospital to get home I kept saying I've never been treated kinder. I cried like a baby saying goodbye to the amazing nurses who took such good care of me. God bless nurses! I of course need to thank dr black and dr Chu for performing an amazing surgery and giving me the best bday gift ever-my health. And lastly, god has blessed me in so many ways but this too was a blessing. I got to hear what I have meant to my friends and family-it's been quite moving for me. I want thank all of my incredible friends, family and even strangers who have shown me and my family such kindness. @alyssawallerce Thank you for being with me every step of the way. I couldn't have done it without you. @iamjoegear You too! And to @undergaro the best nurse in the world..you never left the hospital and slept by my side there. you are my everything and I'm so thankful to you. You and dad have really been incredible to mom and me. You both have inspired me. I've never been more excited about life. I see so much so clearly. Will share more with all of you soon! Xo

Daniel Dae Kim Addresses Hawaii Five-0 Departure

Actor Daniel Dae Kim recently posted the following message on his Facebook page to address his departure from the CBS series Hawaii Five-0. Here's what he had to say:

"A MESSAGE TO MY FANS ABOUT HAWAII 5-0

Sorry for the delay in hearing from me, but like you I’m sure, my July 4th holiday was busy with friends and family. I’m back now and didn’t want to let any more time go by without reaching out. By now many of you have heard the news, and I’m sad to say it is true. I will not be returning to Hawaii Five-0 when production starts next week. Though I made myself available to come back, CBS and I weren’t able to agree to terms on a new contract, so I made the difficult choice not to continue.

As sad as it feels to say goodbye, what I feel most is gratitude. I am so deeply thankful to our crew, writers and everyone associated with the show – and especially the cast, who have been nothing but supportive through this entire process. They and the crew have been my second family for seven years and I wish them nothing but success for season 8 - and beyond.

I also want to say thank you to Peter Lenkov, Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and everyone at CBS. I will always be grateful for their faith in me to bring Chin Ho Kelly to life. As an Asian American actor, I know first-hand how difficult it is to find opportunities at all, let alone play a well developed, three dimensional character like Chin Ho. I will miss him sincerely. 

What made him even more special is that he was a representative of a place my family and I so dearly love. It has been nothing short of an honor to be able to showcase the beauty and people of Hawaii every week, and I couldn’t be prouder to call these islands home. To my local community, mahalo nui loa.

Finally, I want to thank all of you, the fans. I’ve read your messages and I can’t tell you how much they’ve meant to me. I never, ever forget that YOU are the reason Hawaii Five-0 is the success that it is, and interacting with you online and in person around the world(!) has been one of the greatest joys of this entire experience. I’m so sorry we won’t be continuing this journey together.

I’ll end by saying that though transitions can be difficult, I encourage us all to look beyond the disappointment of this moment to the bigger picture. The path to equality is rarely easy. But I hope you can be excited for the future. I am. 5-0 continues on after one of its strongest seasons. I’ve got new acting projects on the horizon, and as a producer, my company, 3AD, has its first show, THE GOOD DOCTOR, set to air this fall on ABC. I hope you’ll tune in. There’s a lot to look forward to and I’ll be sure to share it with you. In the meantime,

Aloha, thank you and Happy Independence Day!

Fred Savage Doesn't Have Time For You

Fred Savage is currently working on the new Netflix series Friends From College. Some of his co-stars have commented on his strict no-friends policy. Here's what they had to say, as reprinted by Page Six:

Keegan-Michael Key: “Good old Kevin Arnold. As lovely and delightful as he is, has a very strict policy of not hanging out with his cast members. [When the director yelled] ’Cut! We’re wrapped’ . . . he goes back to his hotel room and watches prime time television all night. Not a bad policy.”

Billy Eichner: “He really creates boundaries. He’s like, ‘Nope, I’ve had enough of you.’ ”

Nat Faxon: “He basically said, ‘We’ll be friends on-set, and when we wrap I will no longer be your friend,’ and he was not kidding. I made it my purpose all season to get him to hang out with me because he’s such a fantastic, lovely hilarious guy . . . I succeeded, twice. He’s such a pro and has been in the business longer than anybody, so he’s like, ‘I’m going to do my thing, and then go home.’ ”

"He told his wife that he has to work. Ha! [The Girlfriend] said that they are going to hole up at [his friend’s] vacation home and spend the next few days hanging by the pool and drinking and fucking."

There should be plenty of fireworks when the wife finds out!

Lily Collins on Body Dysmorphia

Lily Collins' new movie To The Bone, about an anorexic girl, hits Netflix on July 14th, so she's making the rounds giving basically the same interview to a bunch of different publications. Here's what she had to say in an interview with Marti Noxon for Net-a-Porter's The Edit:

MARTI NOXON: Tell me about writing Unfiltered. Have you always thought of yourself as a writer?

LILY COLLINS: As a kid I used to write poems and song lyrics. I wrote for magazines aged 15 – I found the editor’s number in the back of the magazine and just cold-called her. With Unfiltered, my intent was to encourage others to use their voice, but I don’t think I realized that in doing that, I was actually finding my own

MN: When do you think that transition happened?

LC: It was while we were shooting To the Bone and I was writing. I had written the chapter on my experience with eating disorders a week before I got the script. Nothing’s by mistake! I got to go to an anonymous group with you and share my story and get told the facts for the first time. When I went through my eating disorder, I never sought medical assistance. I created myths in my head about how I should get through things, so the idea that I could surround myself with truth and feel comfortable enough to speak mine allowed me to breathe. There’s a scene in the film when we’re in group therapy talking about the euphoria we experience – I’d never heard that weird enjoyment we feel from being in the disorder worded that way before – and in that moment, you caught Lily understanding it as opposed to just Ellen, my character. 

MN: When we were editing the film, I felt really connected to that moment. A little, “A-ha!”

LC: From a young age, I’ve had a desire to put forward this perfect image, whatever perfect was. So even though there was all this un-prettiness going on inside of me, I wanted to make sure that my appearance and composure were a certain way. I imagined that people knew I had these secrets and they’d be judging. Now that I’ve put things out there I feel like I’m starting from a clean slate, so when I play a character I can let go more

Elle King Opens Up About Depression Battle

After splitting from husband Andrew Ferguson earlier this year, E! News reports that singer Elle King, daughter of Rob Schneider, has revealed that she is battling depression and PTSD. She recently took to her Instagram to post the following:

"I made a decision yesterday that was a really fucking hard one. I'm slowly learning that prolonging and putting off that inevitable and looming painful decision or choice ... ONLY CREATES MORE PAIN. AND YOURE LITERALLY JUST SITTING IN IT. I made that hard choice yesterday, and for a while it felt like my life was over. But today, while working through my PTSD with my doc, I felt that door inside of me open up just a little bit more.

It used to be covered in caution tape and red lights flashing DO NOT OPEN. But I felt a cool little breeze and it wasn't as scary peeping through. I also realized that PTSD and/or depression FOR ME, and I say for me because I can only speak for myself, is like a trip on LSD. For those of you who haven't dropped acid.....it's really strong, so take a lot. Jk but for real it's gr8. 

But I snap out of it through the clarity and ease of the fact that A. everything is going to be ok. 2. Dude you're on f--kin acid man. In those times all I had to do was refocus and take back control of MY OWN MIND. Today, if presented with two options, I will CHOOSE the one that is most beneficial and happy for me right then and there.


I'll make some healthy choices. Today I'll drink water and say something nice about myself. I brushed my teeth sooosososo good too. I might even hug myself. But I'm definitely going to love myself. Just like I love all of you!!!"
