Anne Hathaway learned the hard way that most people don't read books anymore – that is if you watch the "The Tonight Show."

This week, the actress sat down with late-night host Jimmy Fallon to promote her new movie, "The Idea Of You," which is based on the identically titled 2017 novel written by Robinne Lee.

Jelly Roll's wife, Bunnie XO, caught heat over a video where she met her "hall pass" -- something the internet was outraged about ... but she's not sweating it, and neither is hubby.

The podcaster recently uploaded a TikTok meeting Chris Cerulli -- the lead singer for Motionless in White -- at Las Vegas' Sick New World music festival. Right from the get-go in her caption ... she made it clear this is a dude she'd love to bang.

Bunnie wrote, "When you finally get to meet your hall pass," and she also joked "You could say we're in love now." Pretty innocent, obviously ... but folks flooded her comments anyway, with a lot of folks giving her side eye, y'know -- since she's married and all.

The legendary comedian was talking on the New Yorker's Radio Hour this past week, and he talked about where comedy in general stands today ... in his opinion, it's not great -- and it all has to do with the "extreme left," which he believes has ruined TV shows and sitcoms.

JS says people need comedy, and yet ... they're not getting their daily dose in the 21st century -- especially in 2024 -- when they turn on their televisions to wind down at night.

The comedian did a live show in L.A. this week, which some reporters had attended -- and she ended up addressing her leaving her famed talk show ... which came to an end in 2022 on the heels of claims from former staffers that the workplace was a nightmare.

Luke Bryan's counting his blessings for the extra padding that saved him when he took a nasty tumble onstage during his latest concert stop.

We caught up with the country star at Cecconi's Monday in L.A. ... and he joked his weekend slip-and-fall wasn't as painful as it looked 'cause he's got "a whole lot of meat back there" -- referring to his butt, of course -- which softened the landing.

Rob Schneider is calling BS on the notion he bombed in front of a bunch of Republican lawmakers -- calling the report a hit piece ... and even labeling it as "woke" propaganda.

Politico put out a story this week touching on an event Rob headlined late last year for a bunch of prominent figures in the GOP here in L.A. -- where a ton of senators and other high-level Republicans were in attendance ... who apparently hated his set.
