When the White House was looking for a way to attack Richard Gere this summer, they went low. Very low — even for this administration.
Gere, the politically active 77-year-old actor and philanthropist, had criticized President Trump's "ignorance" for cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development. At an event promoting an educational partnership on migration, Gere remarked, "He has idiots around him."

The model wore a custom Diesel gown that took one of the most basic pieces in any wardrobe – the white tank top – and stretched the idea all the way to the Venice red carpet.

Made from ribbed jersey, the fitted tank construction extended into a floor-length silhouette with draping through the skirt and an enormous train. And enormous really is the word here. At one point, it required ******* istance just to make its way along the red carpet.

Prince William reportedly can't stand his brother's latest project. According to a source, Meghan Markle's role in Prince Harry's planned Princess Diana documentary is what's really pushing William over the edge. The Duke of Sussex reportedly wants to honor his late mother with a TV tribute.
Prince William is reportedly 'horrified' over Meghan Markle's role in Prince Harry's Diana documentary. A royal insider told Woman's Day that Harry wants Meghan heavily involved in the project. The insider described her as his producing partner who brings real expertise to the table.
According to the source, Harry feels Meghan's perspective often adds a layer he wouldn't have thought of on his own. Apparently, the couple has already been collecting footage with the Spencer family's support.
Insiders say the Spencers have given Harry's team little reason to slow down. That leaves William as the only real obstacle standing in the way. According to the source, the whole prospect reportedly horrifies William.
Part of the frustration reportedly comes down to comparisons. William allegedly can't stand people framing Meghan as a "Diana 2.0," especially with the project unfolding on UK soil. The source claims William believes it's actually Kate who resembles his mother more, quietly devoted without needing the spotlight.

Drew Barrymore and her ex-husband Will Kopelman share two daughters, Olive (born 2012) and Frankie (born 2014).
While Barrymore and Kopelman share glimpses of their children's lives publicly, they are both intentional about keeping them out of the public eye as much as possible.
The two divorced in 2016.
When Drew Barrymore isn't busy as a talk show host, actress, and producer, she takes pride in raising her two daughters, Olive and Frankie, and giving them an upbringing very different from her own less-than-perfect childhood.
"I realized I was put on this planet to raise girls," Barrymore told Stephen Colbert in January of last year. "Everything in my life was captured in a ****** erfly net to try and get this right. If you don't grow up in a perfect way with a perfect family, you fear the blueprint…I felt unconfident, like this was the stakes of my life and it took a few years to have that confidence."

Giada De Laurentiis is trading the kitchen for the ballroom.
The cast for season 35 of Dancing with the Stars was officially announced on Wednesday, Sept. 2, and the celebrity chef is one of the 16 competitors, joining a lineup of actors, athletes, former dancers and reality stars.
The Food Network alum, 56, tells PEOPLE she was inspired by her 18-year-old daughter, Jade, to do the show.
"I've been asked several times over the years, and I think that this time I said yes because my daughter basically forced me to say yes," she admits. "And also because I just dropped her off at college, and I think that she felt and I felt that I needed to push myself out of my comfort zone and do something totally different."

JoJo Siwa is soaking up the final weeks of summer with boyfriend Chris Hughes, sharing a rare glimpse at their romance in a series of candid new photos.
The 23-year-old singer and dancer took to Instagram with a carousel ***** led simply "little bit of life," documenting everything from work to downtime, but it was a loved-up nighttime pool moment that caught fans' attention.

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are working overtime to try and convince their mother, Sarah "Fergie" Ferguson, to cancel plans for a tell-all book, a source tells Examiner.
"Sarah keeps saying that she could tell her side of the story without upsetting anyone at the palace, but Eugenie and Beatrice are adamant that's not possible," says the source. "They know that any publisher willing to pay the sort of money their mother is after is going to want to extract plenty of juicy details."
Plus, "even if by some miracle she was able to publish something innocuous, it would still upset everyone in the [royal] family because it would put the spotlight back on a topic they're all desperately trying to move past," the source notes.

Beatrice, 38, and Eugenie, 36, are even willing to dip into their own pockets to help Fergie, 66, out financially as she struggles to make ends meet, reveals the source.

Brad Pitt's latest comments about alcohol arrived without the kind of dramatic announcement that often surrounds celebrity revelations.
In a new Esquire interview, the actor revealed that after seven years of sobriety, he has started drinking again and described a different relationship with alcohol than the one he left behind in 2016.
What makes the admission notable is not simply the decision itself, but the fact that Pitt chose to discuss the change publicly.
After years of speaking about sobriety and personal responsibility, he is once again addressing a complicated part of his life in his own words.
And once you hear how he describes it, it becomes clear that Pitt sees this as a different chapter from the one he left behind in 2016.

Dwayne Johnson's views on being silent about politics are drawing criticism from the Hollywood industry. He earlier said that he would refrain from publicly endorsing and would keep politics to himself. He revealed what his experience of being vocal about politics has taught him while sharing his utmost dislike for this specific profession.
Dwayne Johnson received backlash over his staying out of politics from Hollywood peers, including Wil Wheaton and George Takei. The Star Trek: The Next Generation star took to Threads to slam Johnson. He wrote, "So disappointing to find out he is such a coward." On the other hand, Takei also took to the same platform to call him out by saying, "Silence is complicity."
This backlash comes amid a published interview from a few weeks ago by Esquire, where Johnson revealed how he approaches politics now. "What I have learned through experience is that I need to keep—need, not want—the main thing. And the main thing for me, the thing that in the morning I swing my legs out of bed and I run towards, is creating. It's art. It's storytelling. I've learned I'm going to keep my politics to myself," he said.
Johnson further revealed that there are moments when anyone can talk about anything. However, he approaches things differently; if he thinks something is wrong, he admits it. Whereas if the "Moana" actor feels he has a better understanding of a certain matter, he shares his outlook. "Politics is omnipresent and it's forever. I don't like it. I hate it at times. I hate the slinging. I hate all the bullshit that comes with it," he said, showcasing his dislike towards politics.
In 2024, Johnson revealed that he regretted endorsing Joe Biden earlier. Therefore, he remained mum during the 2024 elections, as he wanted to avoid the same mistake. He said, "The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was one I thought was the best decision for me at that time… Am I going to do it again this year? That answer's no" (via The New York Post).
