Ariana DeBose at CCA Actor Who *Thinks* She Can Sing ... 'I Didn't Find It Funny'

Ariana DeBose got lumped in with actors who became songbirds in their movies this past year -- a joke cracked at the Critics Choice Awards ... which she didn't appreciate one bit.

The Oscar winner was on hand Sunday night at the latest award show in Santa Monica -- where she was up for a statuette in the Best Song category for her tune in Disney's "Wish" ... alongside others in films like "Barbie," "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" and "Rustin."

Before they announced the winners, presenters Bella Ramsey and Anthony Ramos made a crack about some of the stars in the group ... labeling them "actors who think that they're singers," name-dropping Ryan Gosling, Jack Black and, surprisingly, Ariana herself.

The camera cut to her face right at that moment, and she looked fairly confused/insulted.

Welp, as it turns out ... that's exactly how she felt inside -- 'cause she later took to IG to express the sentiment that we all saw on her face ... writing, "I Didn't Find It Funny Lol."

While you could argue the crack was in good fun, fans jumped to her defense to point out it was technically inaccurate -- 'cause ADB most certainly *can* sing ... and does so flawlessly. Not only has she received accolades for her musical performances on camera, but she's a star on Broadway as well -- so to compare to the likes of JB and Gosling does seem off.

Sounds like one of the CCA script writers just might not like her ... that's the vibe anyway.

Ariana DeBose responde a las críticas sobre si sabe cantar

The CW

Ariana DeBose fue agrupada con los actores que se convirtieron en pájaros cantores en sus películas el año pasado... una broma en los Critics Choice Awards que ella no apreció ni un poco.

La ganadora del Oscar estuvo presente el domingo por la noche en la última entrega de premios en Santa Mónica, donde era candidata a una estatuilla en la categoría de Mejor Canción por su melodía en "Wish" de Disney, junto a otros en películas como "Barbie", "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" y "Rustin".

Antes de anunciar a los ganadores, los presentadores Bella Ramsey y Anthony Ramos hicieron un chiste sobre algunas de las estrellas del grupo, etiquetándolos como "actores que piensan que son cantantes", nombrando a Ryan Gosling, Jack Black y sorprendentemente a la propia Ariana.

La cámara se enfocó en su cara justo en ese momento y parecía bastante ofendida.

Bueno, resulta que eso es exactamente lo que sentía por dentro, porque más tarde acudió a Insta para expresar el sentimiento que todos vimos en su cara escribiendo: "No me pareció gracioso Lol".

Si bien se podría argumentar que el crack era en broma, los fans saltaron en su defensa para señalar que era técnicamente inexacta, porque Ariana sin duda puede cantar y lo hace de manera impecable. No solo ha recibido elogios por sus actuaciones musicales en cámara, además es una estrella en Broadway, así que las comparaciones con Black y Gosling parecen fuera de lugar.

Parece que no le gusta a uno de los guionistas de la CCA... al menos esa es la sensación que nos queda.

The CW

Harrison Ford se siente agradecido, afortunado y más que un poco emocionado por su carrera, pero todavía es capaz de reírse de sí mismo al aceptar un premio por todo su catálogo de trabajo, desde "Star Wars" a "Indiana Jones".

El icono de Hollywood se atragantó un poco mientras estaba en el escenario el domingo por la noche en los Critics Choice Award, donde el director de "Indiana Jones y el dial del destino" de James Mangold le otorgó a Harrison el Premio a la Trayectoria.

Agradeció a todos los directores, escritores y cineastas con los que ha trabajado a lo largo de los años y también tuvo un reconocimiento especial para su esposa Calista Flockhart.

El legendario actor de 81 años hizo reír a la multitud al felicitar a Calista por apoyarle y añadió: "Necesito mucho apoyo".

Harrison también se mostró feliz de ver que Hollywood le da oportunidades a gente con talento que no las habría tenido en los años 60, cuando él empezaba a actuar.

Un voto bastante sólido a favor de DEI por parte de Harrison.

Harrison añadió que fue enormemente afortunado por su carrera, teniendo su última salida como Indy Jones el año pasado.

Con el premio en la mano, Harrison todavía tiene para rato... estará en dos películas: "Thunderbolts" y "Capitán América: Brave New World" en 2025.

The CW

Robert Downey Jr. ganó a lo grande en los Critics Choice Awards este fin de semana y para devolver el favor ... recitó algunas de las peores críticas que ha recibido a lo largo de su carrera.

La superestrella subió al escenario el domingo para recibir su estatuilla al Mejor Actor de Reparto en honor a su trabajo en "Oppenheimer" y mientras daba las gracias terminó reconociendo al grupo que estaba votando a los ganadores de esa noche... ¡los críticos!

Robert dijo que tenía debilidad por esta noble profesión, al tiempo que señaló que había recibido críticas no muy agradables de dichos críticos a lo largo de los años... algunas de las cuales quería leer.

Fue divertidísimo... Rob sacó una lista de su abrigo y empezó a repasar lo que él considera las críticas más desagradables y/o graciosas que ha recibido por su trabajo ante la cámara desde que está en el negocio. No dio ningún nombre, pero las palabras hablaban por sí solas.

Solo algunas de las críticas que dejaron huella, incluyendo una especie de haiku que decía: "Descuidada, desordenada y perezosa". La siguiente fue más metafórica, como él dice: "Como Pee-wee Herman saliendo de un coma". Por último, uno que se quedó con él... "Divertido como un pedo encerrado en la cama".

Una vez más, Downey Jr. no dio más detalles sobre cuándo fueron estas críticas o sobre qué películas y actuaciones suyas fueron, pero estamos seguros de que una simple búsqueda en Google puede rastrearlas.

Rob ha tenido una larga carrera de altibajos y ahora él es un favorito de los premios. Tomen eso haters.

GIVING FORD HIS FLOWERS
The CW

Harrison Ford is feeling grateful, lucky and more than a little emotional about his storied career, but he's still able to poke fun at himself as he accepts an award for his entire catalog of work ... from "Star Wars" to "Indiana Jones."

The Hollywood icon choked up a bit while onstage Sunday night at the Critics Choice Award, where "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" director James Mangold presented Harrison with the Career Achievement Award.

He thanked all the directors, writers, and filmmakers he's worked with over the years ... and also had a special shoutout for his wife Calista Flockhart.

The 81-year-old legend got a good laugh out of the crowd as he gave Calista props for supporting him ... adding, "I need a lot of support."

HF also expressed he was happy to see Hollywood giving opportunities to talented people who wouldn't have gotten them back in the 60s when he was starting out in acting.

Pretty solid vote in favor of DEI on Harrison's part.

Harrison added he was enormously lucky for his career ... having his final outing as Indy Jones last year.

With his career achievement in hand, Harrison's still going strong ... he'll be in 2 films "Thunderbolts" and "Captain America: Brave New World" in 2025.

Robert Downey Jr. Reads His Own Worst Reviews ... During CCA Speech

LOOK AT ME NOW, CRITICS!!!
The CW

Robert Downey Jr. won big at the Critics Choice Awards this weekend -- and to pay back the favor ... he rattled off some of the worst reviews he's received throughout his career.

The superstar went onstage Sunday to receive his statuette for Best Supporting Actor -- honoring his work in "Oppenheimer" -- and while he was going through his thank-you's ... he ended up acknowledging the group that was voting on that night's winners ... critics!

RDJ said he had a soft spot for this noble profession -- while also pointing out he'd received not-so-nice reviews from said critics over the years ... some of which he wanted to read.

It was hilarious ... Rob pulled out a list from his coat and started going through what he considers the nastiest and/or most humorous feedback he's gotten for his on-camera work since he's been in the biz. He didn't name any names, but the words spoke for themselves.

Just a few of the reviews that left a mark ... including a haiku of sorts that read "Sloppy, messy and lazy." The next one was more metaphoric, as he puts it ... "Like Pee-wee Herman emerging from a coma." Finally, one that stayed with him ... "Amusing as a bed-locked fart."

Again, Downey Jr. didn't elaborate on when these reviews were dished or for what movies/performances of his -- but we're sure a simple Google search can track 'em down.

Rob's had a long career of highs and lows ... now, he's an awards darling. Take that, haters!

Chelsea Handler Takes A Dig At Ex-BF Jo Koy ... For Lackluster Golden Globes Performance

Chelsea Handler couldn't resist taking a dig at her ex-boyfriend Jo Koy during Sunday's Critics Choice Awards in L.A. for his much-criticized Golden Globes performance.

Chelsea was hosting the CCA event onstage at the Santa Monica Airport's Barker Hangar last evening when she gave Jo a shot as she served up jokes during her opening monologue.

The comedian set it up like this ... "Unfortunately, Martin Scorsese isn’t here tonight, but that’s not going to stop me from letting everyone in this room know that I would toss him around like a little Italian meatball." The crowd chuckled.

Then Chelsea hit the punch line ... "Thank you for laughing at that. My writers wrote it."

Ouch, Jo! That must have hurt, especially from an ex! Jo, as you know, got roasted in the press and on social media after his jokes fell flat as host of the Golden Globe Awards earlier this month.

Jo's wisecracks about the film, "Barbie," were met with groans and, when he poked fun at Taylor Swift, she shot him an icy look.

Sensing he was going down in flames, Jo tried to blame his writers for his bad jokes, telling the GG audience, “Some [jokes] I wrote, some other people wrote. Yes, I got the gig 10 days ago! You want a perfect monologue? Yo, shut up. You’re kidding me, right?”

He added, “Slow down, I wrote some of these and they are the ones you are laughing at.”

Last week, Jo tried to clean up his remarks during an LA Times interview, admitting it was a "rookie move" to fault his writers.

Now we'll have to see if Jo responds to Chelsea's jab.

Sarah Snook 'Succession' Star Belittled Early In Career

Sarah Snook is flying high these days as an awards darling — but she’s had to take some slings and arrows along by the way … according to the woman herself.

The actress -- who just won her second GG as Siobhan Roy in "Succession" --revealed in a new interview with The Times a couple times where she was berated for her appearance ... by other powerful industry pros.

As SS tells it, she landed a role early in her career ... an exciting moment for a struggling young actress that quickly took a turn when a casting director said straight to her face they didn't want to hire her because she was a "nobody."

The casting director explained she only got the job because the writer and director liked her, and she needed to change nearly everything about her appearance ... from whitening her teeth and darkening her hair to losing weight.

A terrible moment that didn't exist in a vacuum ... Snook says after she took the part, agreeing to intense demands regarding appearance she decided to have "the tiniest bit of chocolate cake" -- and all hell broke loose.

A producer started telling her off in front of the cast and crew, she explains, "And all the while I am dying inside. The infantilizing of women, to not be able to make their own decisions, why would we do that to women?”

These sorts of comments and criticisms have been hurled at actors for years ... in 2017 Carey Mulligan talked about feeling "belittled" on film sets while Rose McGowan said she was told she'd only get parts if men found her attractive the following year.

Bottom line ... this sort of bullying isn't new to Hollywood by any means -- and it just makes Snook's recent Golden Globes win even that more impressive.

Now, if a producer or casting director criticizes Sarah's appearance again ... she can always point them to her trophy case 🏆.

Cillian Murphy Good Genes or Good Docs?!

Cillian Murphy's looks over the years have earned him a BIG STANDING O!

Here is a 26-year-old version of the fresh-faced fella at the premiere of "Intermission" -- just one of his many iconic films -- back in 2003 (right). This was one year after he rose to prominence with his breakout role in "28 Days Later."

And, 21 years later and just coming off a golden win at last weekend's Globe Awards, Mr. Murphy put his icy-blue eyes on full display (left) and proved he can STILL GET IT with his plump lips and defined facial features.

Clearly, he's doin' something right, but the question is ...

¡Los looks de Cillian Murphy a lo largo de los años le han valido una GRAN ovación!

Aquí vemos a un joven de 26 años con un rostro fresco en el estreno de "Intermission", una de sus muchas e icónicas películas, en 2003 (derecha). Esto fue un año después de que saltara a la fama con su papel en "28 Days Later".

Y, 21 años después y habiendo recibido una victoria en los Globos de Oro el pasado fin de semana, el Sr. Murphy exhibió sus ojos azules como el hielo (izquierda) y demostró que TODAVÍA PUEDE CON SUS labios carnosos y rasgos faciales definidos.

Claramente está haciendo algo bien, pero la pregunta es ...

Cillian Murphy...

Jeremy Allen White Intimately Kisses Rosalía In L.A. ... They're An Item!!!

Forget the dating rumors about Jeremy Allen White and Rosalía ... the two are officially item because we caught them embracing in an intimate kiss!

The couple was photographed going out Thursday for a walk to buy a pack of cigarettes in downtown Los Angeles. During their trip, Rosalía got passionate with Jeremy as he stood back against a car.

Check out these images, obtained by TMZ ... the lovebirds left no doubt about their relationship status, locking lips as Rosalía wrapped her arms around Jeremy. In other pictures, the pair clutched each other tightly and held hands as they strolled down a city block.

Of course, rumors about their budding romance have been swirling for a while. Last month, Jeremy was spotted giving the Spanish singer a few pecks on the cheek while cuddling in the cold December breeze in Westwood.

In October 2023, they were seen out at the Santa Monica farmers market where Jeremy's arms were overflowing with flowers.

This past week, though, Jeremy went solo to the Golden Globes, where he snagged the award for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy for his role as chef Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto in the Hulu series, "The Bear."

In May 2023, Jeremy split from his wife Addison Timlin, who filed for divorce after three years of marriage. Ever since, Jeremy has been enjoying his bachelor's life -- even more so now with his new girlfriend, Rosalía.

Jeremy Allen White Se besa con la Rosalía en L.A. ¡¡¡Están juntos!!!

Olvídate de los rumores de romance entre Jeremy Allen White y Rosalía. ¡Los dos son oficialmente pareja porque los pillamos abrazados y dándose un beso íntimo!

La pareja fue fotografiada el jueves por la noche mientras daba un paseo para comprar cigarrillos en el centro de Los Ángeles. Durante el trayecto, Rosalía se apasionó con Jeremy mientras este se apoyaba contra un carro.

Echa un vistazo a estas imágenes obtenidas por TMZ, los tortolitos no dejaron ninguna duda sobre su estado sentimental, acercando sus labios mientras Rosalía envolvía sus brazos alrededor de Jeremy. En otras fotos, la pareja aparecía muy abrazada y tomados de las manos mientras paseaban por la ciudad.

Por supuesto, los rumores sobre su incipiente romance han estado dando vueltas durante un tiempo. El mes pasado, Jeremy fue visto dándole a la cantante española unos cuantos besos en la mejilla mientras se abrazaban en Westwood.

En octubre de 2023, fueron vistos en el mercado de agricultores de Santa Mónica, donde los brazos de Jeremy estaban rebosantes de flores.

Esta semana pasada, sin embargo, Jeremy acudió en solitario a los Globos de Oro, donde se llevó el premio al Mejor Actor en una Serie de Televisión Musical o Comedia por su papel de Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto en la serie de Hulu, "The Bear".

En mayo de 2023, Jeremy se separó de su mujer Addison Timlin, quien solicitó el divorcio tras tres años de matrimonio. Desde entonces, Jeremy disfruta de su vida de soltero y más ahora con su nueva novia, Rosalía.

Damar Hamlin Deserves Comeback Player Over Flacco ... Says Josh Cribbs

"I'VE GOT A FEVER"
TMZSports.com

Browns legend Josh Cribbs has come down with Joe Flacco Fever ... but diagnosis aside, he believes the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year award still belongs to Damar Hamlin ... telling TMZ Sports he believes the Bills safety earned the recognition after resuming his NFL career this season.

38-year-old Flacco has exceeded all expectations since joining the Browns in November ... leading Cleveland to a 4-1 record after Deshaun Watson and Dorian Thompson-Robinson went down with injuries.

Despite helping the Browns reach the playoffs, Cribbs -- who had nothing but praise for the former Super Bowl MVP -- says Hamlin's story is simply too special to pass on when the league recognizes players at the end of the season.

"Right now, I say it's Damar Hamlin," Cribbs told us this week. "He came back to life on the field. He came back to life to play back again in the NFL. He is a player who essentially lost his life on the football field."

Of course, Damar saw a bit of action in the 2023-24 season ... a special moment for the player and the entire NFL after he suffered cardiac arrest against the Cincinnati Bengals on Jan. 2.

"For him to have lost his life on the field and then came back, I definitely would give it to Damar Hamlin," Cribbs says.

The former return specialist gives Flacco his flowers, though ... commending the guy for going from "being on the couch with a beer" to becoming Cleveland's improbable hero.

Cribbs has full confidence in Flacco's abilities to take the Browns deep in the playoffs ... but even if they make it to the Super Bowl, he says it'll be Watson's team no matter what next season.

Cribbs backs his belief ... saying considering the Browns are paying Deshaun a massive contract, there's no way he isn't under center in 2024.

"Flacco is the now, Deshaun is no question the future," Cribbs said. "Not because of what he did in Houston, not because of what Flacco is doing right now. He's the future because he's got $230 million guaranteed. So, there is no discussion about it. He is the quarterback of the future."

As for the Browns' Wild Card matchup with the Texans, he believes Cleveland will win comfortably ... and he isn't too concerned about rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud going up against their elite defense.
