Brad Pitt has found a surprising lesson in survival, one that has little to do with Hollywood or the physical challenges of his latest film.
As the actor reflected on the painful period surrounding his divorce from Angelina Jolie while promoting his survival thriller "Heart of the Beast," he credited the people who helped him endure it.
Filming a wilderness survival thriller also gave him a fresh perspective on navigating personal upheaval, rebuilding his footing, and taking life one small victory at a time.

For Brad Pitt, getting through life's hardest moments was not about maintaining a polished public image or pretending he could handle everything alone.

Kim Kardashian was left "so mad" after her years-old feud with Paris Hilton was recently revived, her biographer has revealed.
The reality TV star's biographer shared that Kim was left fuming after she learned Paris Hilton had ghosted him.
Jonathan Van Meter, author of Kim's upcoming authorised biography Citizen Kim: The Woman Who Created the Future, revealed he had tried several times to schedule an interview with Kim's former best friend, but was repeatedly left hanging.
"Kim was so mad when I told her," Jonathan told The Hollywood Reporter of Paris's multiple cancellations. "It seemed to stir up some ancient irritation between them. The creation turning on the creator."
Paris, 45, famously introduced Kim, 46, to the world via her reality series The Simple Life.
The formerly close friends had a falling out after Kim's star ascended with the success of her own reality TV series, Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

Imprisoned hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs will remain in federal lockup for an additional two months, according to Bureau of Prisons records, after a news report exposed numerous prison rules he has been violating behind bars.
Combs is serving a 50-month sentence at the federal prison at Fort Dix in Southern New Jersey after he was found guilty of two Mann Act violations at his sensational New York trial last summer. A jury of 12 acquitted the near-billionaire of the more serious federal charges of racketeering and **** trafficking, rejecting prosecutors' case that Combs Enterprises staff formed a top-down criminal enterprise or that his "freak off" parties constituted **** trafficking.

Skarsgård, who is never afraid to take fashion risks, looked like the epitome of the Hollywood golden boy in a gold metallic Saint Laurent suit, styling the jacket without a shirt, and topping it off with the brand's lucite elongated-toe derby shoes, which showed off the star's full feet. The actor stood out from his "Wicker" co-stars Peter ******* lage, Elizabeth Debicki and Olivia Colman, who chose simple all-black looks.
The viral shoes: YSL's latest in men's footwear may get a bit sweaty. Take a look
In June, the controversial clear shoes had the internet up in arms when they first debuted on the runway of the Saint Laurent's spring/summer 2027 menswear show. At the time, many took to social media to express their concerns with the amount of sweat the shoes might hold.

Hugh Hefner's widow, Crystal Harris, has urged Jessica Biel not to play the Playboy founder's wife in a new movie about life in the mansion.
Earlier this week, it was announced that Biel had joined the cast of the new movie Playmates, inspired by writer/director Lorraine Nicholson's own experiences at the Playboy mansion during her childhood.
Harris DM'd Biel, and then shared that Instagram message on her grid, tagging the actor.
"Please reconsider playing Hugh Hefner's 'wife' if this film intends to romanticise him or the Playboy world," she wrote.
"I was actually his wife, and I experienced ***** ual, emotional, financial and physical abuse in that relationship. Many other women have come forward with allegations of rape, coercion, drugging and exploitation as well.
"There are also deeply troubling concerns involving minors. I hope everyone involved in this film takes the time to listen to the women who lived it before helping Hollywood turn it back into nostalgia."

Celebrity comedian Sebastian Maniscalco has responded to this week's uproar in the comedy community over his takeover of a SiriusXM channel that for years supported up-and-coming stand-ups while providing them a minor lifeline in royalty checks. He joins the broadcaster in ****** uring those up in arms over the station's disappearance that the company axed it well before the superstar took over.
In April, Maniscalco's Comedy Radio replaced SiriusXM's Channel 99, the longtime home of the Raw Comedy/Raw Dog channel, a small corner of the satellite radio giant where up-and-coming comedians could not only launch their careers but make a few bucks doing it. SiriusXM replaced the "jukebox channel," which rotated sets from comics and had no host, with one now "curated and headlined by Maniscalco" that features mostly mainstream and well-known talent. The uproar came this week when the advocacy group Stand Up for Standup and big-name comedians like Patton Oswalt, Margaret Cho and Michelle Wolf took to social media to ask Maniscalco to bring Raw Comedy back to the platform. On Thursday, the superstar comic replied.

About one in every 42 babies born worldwide is a twin, meaning Hollywood has its fair share of siblings with the same birthday.
Not every set of twins has the same desire for the spotlight. Sometimes, only one twin achieves celebrity status.
Rami Malek's twin, Sami, is a teacher, while Parker Posey's twin, Chris, is a lawyer.
Twins have a lot in common—but being famous is where some differ.
Yes, there are a host of celebrity twins who share the spotlight, from the Olsens to the Sprouses. Having a look-alike sibling may even have helped them stand out early in their careers. Yet for every duo like Sister, Sister stars Tia and Tamera Mowry, there's another pair of twins where only one of them is well known.

The Hollywood star revealed that she is yet to read Michael Douglas' recently released memoir, ****** led "One ****** uva Ride." She said her demanding, tight work schedule is the main reason she hasn't read the book.

Will Arnett says unfiltered comments on SmartLess have sometimes led to misleading headlines
His podcast experience unexpectedly helped shape his role in the thriller Behemoth!
Arnett recorded rough podcast material for director Tony Gilroy, who used it in the finished film
Will Arnett has learned that when it comes to podcasting, sometimes less is more.
The actor, 56, who stars in the new thriller Behemoth!, has spent the past several years getting candid with cohosts Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes on their hit podcast SmartLess. But after years of chatting with everyone from Hollywood heavyweights to longtime friends, Arnett has picked up one particularly important lesson: He probably shouldn't say everything that crosses his mind.

Sydney Sweeney's blonde bombshell aesthetic just might be hereditary.
The "Euphoria" actress and the late Marilyn Monroe are distant relatives, according to a new MyHeritage study shared with USA TODAY.
The genealogy research site notes the actresses are ninth cousins, once removed, meaning that there is a one-generation gap between them.
The Hollywood darlings share the common ancestors Ezra Perry and Elizabeth Burgess, 17th-century British settlers in Massachusetts, through Sweeney's father, Steven Sweeney, and Monroe's biological father, Charles Stanley Gifford, according to the online genealogy company.
The Perry-Burgess lineage also includes former President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Gen. Douglas MacArthur.

Sydney Sweeney and Marilyn Monroe have often been compared to one another – and there's now an official reason for that.
It turns out the White Lotus alum, 29, and the late Hollywood icon – who died in 1962, aged 36 – are related.
New research from global family history platform MyHeritage has found that Sydney and Monroe are 9th cousins, once removed.
The connection comes through their paternal lines – Sydney's father, Steven Sweeney, and Marilyn's biological father, Charles Stanley Gifford.

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick are one of Hollywood's most adored couples. Their decades long marriage and movie and TV success is a testament to their enduring love story but that's not to say they haven't faced hardship.
The couple — who are worth an estimated $100 million — previously faced a financial scandal that turned their lives upside dow.
It led to a huge lifestyle change and impacted their future in a way they never expected. Here's what happened.

In the early 2000s, Kevin and Kyra Sedgwick, like many wealthy individuals, looked for opportunities to grow their bank balance through investments. They were introduced to a high-return investment opportunity that seemed too good to pass up... only it turned out to be a Ponzi scheme.

A new study by MyHeritage revealed that Euphoria actress Sydney Sweeney is related to the late Hollywood bombshell Marilyn Monroe.
The study (via The Hollywood Reporter) showed that the actresses are ninth cousins, once removed. Sweeney and Monroe share a mutual ancestor, Ezra Perry (c. 1625–1689). According to the study, Perry was an early English settler in Sandwich, Massachusetts.
MyHeritage director of research Roi Mandel called the discovery "incredible." After all, Sweeney has been compared to Monroe in the past. He raved, "Uncovering their shared branch was incredible, it's a powerful reminder that humanity is one vast family tree, and when we dig deep, we uncover how remarkably interconnected we all are."

Hollywood superstar Ben Affleck ended up using MLB legends Roger Clemens and Nolan Ryan as examples of how athletes shouldn't act on camera.
All the best sports athletes have to face the camera at some point. They do it regularly for press conferences and media appearances, but those don't involve acting. For those at the very top, though, advertisements and endorsement deals mean they do have to act a little.
Some, like NBA superstar LeBron James or the NFL's Patrick Mahomes can do it well. Others have struggled with it at times. Often, they work with the biggest Hollywood superstars on such projects. Ben Affleck is among those, and he recently used two MLB stars as examples of what not to do.
Roger Clemens and Nolan Ryan are two of the greatest pitchers ever. Clemens built a 24-year career with 354 wins, 4,672 strikeouts and a record seven Cy Young Awards. Ryan pitched for 27 seasons, winning 324 games and setting MLB records with 5,714 strikeouts and seven no-hitters.
They were undoubtedly great at what they did. However, they weren't so good on camera, and that's exactly what Affleck pointed out.

The black dress featured two delicate spaghetti straps that sat over Rodrigo's shoulders. They connected to a straight, narrow neckline, creating the impression that the long dress was being held up by little more than two strings.

Matthew Lillard answered, "No. Not really," when asked whether he feels valued by Hollywood as an artist. The 56-year-old was speaking with Tommy DiDario on the Oct. 6 episode of I've Never Said This Before.
In an excerpt shared exclusively with PEOPLE, the Scream and Scooby-Doo actor said colleagues who have worked with him recognize what he brings to a production. He described trying to keep the atmosphere on set light while remaining dedicated to the work.
At conventions, he sees older and younger admirers waiting in long lines to meet him. He believes Hollywood underestimates that audience and said he takes pride in the connection he has built with fans.
Lillard emphasized that he is grateful to be approaching 40 years in the business. He said his frustrations were harder to live with when he was younger, when he was more impatient for a chance to move up.
Lillard described himself as quirky, gangly and energetic, capable of broad comedy and serious dramatic work. He said casting decision-makers are more comfortable with performers who fit a recognizable movie-star image, while his combination of qualities has made him harder to place.

Michael Douglas, firmly in his smooth silver-fox era, has opened the door into secret compartments of his life. Douglas, 82, has just published an incredibly dishy, wildly entertaining, at times both hilarious and painful new memoir, One ****** uva Ride. It's a tale that spans generations of Hollywood royalty, from his father Kirk's rise to stardom to his own run of classic films as both producer and actor: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), The China Syndrome (1979), Romancing the Stone (1984), Wall Street (1987), Fatal Attraction (1987), Basic Instinct (1992), and Falling Down (1993), to name some of the biggest. Written with Shane Salerno, the book is one of those rare memoirs that both entertains and sheds light on a lost world of Hollywood of glamour and decadence, with lots of ****** and drugs and even some rock & roll.
To discuss all this, Douglas has invited me into his palatial apartment overlooking New York City's Central Park, one of several homes he owns and enjoys. He's a welcoming and gracious host, no servants or ****** istants bustling about. Just Douglas padding around in his socks, still as slim, handsome, and charming as ever. Douglas makes me a coffee, and we sit down in a living room with a view of his two Oscars, an Emmy, and other awards. Between Douglas and his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones, the trophy case is so large it fills up a corner of the massive living room.

Mena Massoud
Playing the leading role in a major Hollywood blockbuster that earned a billion dollars is the dream of many in the entertainment world. To do so alongside one of the biggest movie stars of all time, Will Smith, was certainly a dream come true for Mena Massoud. I sat down with him to unpack a hidden secret to career success that is not often discussed: the art of defiant surrender.
For many who lead companies or compete at a high level, it can feel like every moment must be maximized and every outcome manipulated. The performance literature points us somewhere else, to a flow state in which the brain is not preoccupied with holding tightly to every future outcome.
It may seem counterintuitive, but this liberates the brain to be in a place to actually access its best abilities.

Spooky season is here, which means Kings Island's Halloween Haunt is in full swing, and a famous Cincinnati native stopped by for all the thrills and chills.
Nick Lachey, the 98 Degrees boy band member and "Love Is Blind" host, shared the family outing to Kings Island in an Oct. 6 Instagram post. Lachey, along with his three children and wife Vanessa, with whom he co-hosts "Love Is Blind," posed in front of one of the park's most beloved (or hated) rides, depending on whom you ask: The Beast.
"Beast Mode activated! Kicked off Fall at Kings Island. Kids loved riding The Beast, the longest wooden rollercoaster in the world! Kings Island … you still got it!" he wrote.
Lachey's recent Kings Island visit was a full-circle moment as the singer, who attended the School for Creative & Performing Arts in Over-the-Rhine, also worked at Kings Island as a teenager. The 98 Degrees member was in a barbershop quartet.
"I started off singing a cappella barbershop music, walking around the park and singing to guests," Lachey said in a 2013 interview, per The Hollywood Reporter.

Ray Fisher became internationally recognizable as the technologically enhanced superhero Cyborg, but his career began far from the world of comic book blockbusters. The American actor developed his craft through theater before making the leap to major Hollywood productions. His upbringing, particularly the influence of his mother and grandmother, helped shape the values he later carried into his professional life. When Fisher encountered difficulties behind the scenes of Justice League, he chose to speak publicly about his experience. That decision became an important part of a career increasingly ****** ociated with both performance and workplace accountability.
Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Fisher grew up in Lawnside, New Jersey, in a large family raised primarily by his mother and grandmother. He has described both women as his real life superheroes, praising the determination and strength they demonstrated while he was growing up. His interest in acting became serious during high school, when encouragement from a teacher led him to audition for theatrical productions.
Fisher continued developing as a stage performer and eventually established himself in professional theater. One of his most demanding early roles was Muhammad Ali in the Off Broadway production Fetch Clay, Make Man. Preparing to portray the legendary boxer required substantial physical transformation as well as the ability to capture Ali's confidence and personality. The experience demonstrated the discipline Fisher could bring to a role before Hollywood audiences became familiar with him.
His major screen opportunity arrived when Zack Snyder selected him to play Victor Stone, better known as Cyborg, in the DC film universe. Fisher made a brief appearance in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice before receiving a much larger role in Justice League. Production changed significantly after Snyder left the project and Joss Whedon took over during post production. The theatrical version released in 2017 reduced much of Cyborg's original storyline.
In 2020, Fisher publicly accused Whedon of inappropriate and unprofessional behavior during the Justice League reshoots. WarnerMedia subsequently conducted an investigation after Fisher raised concerns involving the production. In December 2020, the company announced that the investigation had concluded and that remedial action had been taken, without publicly detailing what those measures involved.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are allegedly "wildly unhappy," but their marriage is not the biggest problem. A royal commentator recently claimed the couple was not happy during their time in California. He also stated the duo has different passions, which strain their relationship.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry reportedly clash over what makes them happy (via The Daily Beast). Founder of Celebrity Intelligence, cultural commentator Dan Wakeford, told The Royalist's Tom Sykes, "The 'wildly unhappy' came not from within their relationship in their life right now. It was their life in America they were wildly unhappy about."
"They were wildly unhappy with how things had gone, and they hadn't gone how they expected. I don't think they could find—think of a way out of that. And so it's very interesting," he added.
He further said that while the return to the UK has made Harry happier, the same is not true for Meghan Markle, a Los Angeles native. He explained, "The problem with this couple is you have two people with completely different goals in life and geographical, like, homes."
Wakeford said that according to his sources, the Sussexes are "very much in love," but they conflict on what true happiness looks like for either of them. "They're not on the same page with where they're going in life, whether that's living in England or living in America, whether that is philanthropy or a glamorous Hollywood lifestyle brand," he said.

Meghan Markle is reportedly finding it difficult to watch Kate Middleton and Prince William emerge as Hollywood's latest favorites. According to a source, the ****** ss of Sussex feels the royal couple has stepped into what she considers her territory. The insider also shared details about how Meghan is reportedly handling the shift in the spotlight.
Meghan Markle is reportedly envious of Prince William and Kate Middleton's warm Hollywood welcome, according to a source. An insider told Closer that the shift has reportedly struck a nerve with Meghan. "For her, it's especially hard to take because Hollywood is her world," the insider said. According to the outlet, the source added that the ****** ss still has plenty of career ambitions she hopes to pursue.
The insider also pointed to the longstanding comparisons between Meghan and Kate, which date back to the ****** ss' entry into the royal family. Seeing the Princess of Wales walk the red carpet alongside Tom Cruise during the recent premiere of "Digger" has reportedly been "triggering a lot of jealousy" for Meghan.
The ****** ss grew up in Hollywood and spent years as an actress on the US legal drama "Suits," where she played Rachel Zane for seven seasons. She left the series in 2018 ahead of her wedding to Prince Harry.
After the couple stepped back from royal duties in 2020, they settled in Montecito, California, and signed a production deal with Netflix. They went on to release the docuseries "Harry & Meghan," while Meghan also fronted the lifestyle series "With Love, Meghan."

Paramount completed its $111bn acquisition of Warner Bros Discovery on Tuesday, consolidating some of the world's most recognizable studios and news outlets after a bidding war with Netflix and months of legal turmoil.
The new company, now called Skydance, will have David Ellison, the son of a billionaire tech mogul, at its helm, with the former CEO of Mattel, Ynon Kreiz, as co-executive. They will oversee Paramount and Warner Bros' movie studios, HBO Max, CBS News and CNN.
"Today is a historic day, not just for Skydance but for our entire industry," Ellison said in a statement. "From the start, our ambition was to bring these two storied studios together and create a stronger competitor, with the talent, resources, and reach to tell great stories in every genre, on every platform, for audiences everywhere. Now that ambition is a reality."
The consolidation of Paramount and Warner Bros combines two of the last five legacy studios in Hollywood, which includes Disney, Universal Pictures and Sony Pictures.
Though the merger was approved in June, California, New York and 10 other states sued Paramount over concerns that the move would "extinguish" competition and lead to fewer movie theaters in theaters and at home.

Paramount closed its $81 billion (€72bn) purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery, the companies announced on Tuesday, forming a new Hollywood giant called Skydance.
The merger brings HBO Max, films ranging from "Harry Potter" to "Sinners", and networks including CNN under the same roof as Paramount+, CBS and ******* les such as "Top Gun" and "The Godfather".
"Today is a historic day, not just for Skydance but for our entire industry," CEO David Ellison said in a statement.
The deal further concentrates power in an industry already run by just a handful of major players. Ellison's Skydance bought Paramount in an $8bn (€7.1bn) deal last year, and set its sights on Warner soon afterwards.
What followed was a tumultuous, yearlong fight over Warner's fate. Including billions of dollars in debt, Paramount's buyout of Warner amounts to nearly $111bn (€98.6bn).
