Nicole Kidman dice que el tamaño importa, al menos eso solía pensar cuando iba a las audiciones.

La ganadora del Oscar dijo que solía mentir sobre su altura durante una reciente entrevista con "Radio Times Podcast", admitiendo que solía eliminar una media pulgada de sus estadísticas cuando los directores de casting le preguntaban.

Nicole Kidman dice que a pesar de medir 1,80 solía decir que medía como 1,75. No hay mucha diferencia, pero es una mentira de todos modos.

La estrella australiana dice que la gente la llamaba "stalky" (demasiado alta y delgada) cuando llegó por primera vez a la escena actoral y que le habrían dicho que una mujer alta como ella no tendría una carrera.

Sin embargo, dice que eso ha cambiado en los últimos años. Kidman dice: "Ahora me dicen, 'Eres mucho más alta de lo que pensaba', o los hombres se preguntan qué altura deben tener mis tacones".

Otra anécdota interesante es que casi fue rechazada de una audición para el musical "Annie" cuando era una niña, porque estaba 2 pulgadas por encima de la línea de corte de 5'2.

Kidman dice que está tratando de transmitirle valor y resiliencia a sus hijos (tiene 2 con Tom Cruise y 2 con Keith Urban), enseñándoles a cómo reaccionar cuando oyen la palabra "no".

Actress Lynne Marta – best known for her film roles in "Footloose" and "Joe Kidd" --- has died in California.

Marta passed away Thursday at her L.A. home after she was diagnosed with cancer, according to the Hollywood Reporter. It was not clear what type of cancer she had.

Born and bred in New Jersey, Marta moved to Hollywood to pursue a career in acting, landing parts in several big movies.  She snagged the role of Elma in the 1972 western classic, "Joe Kidd," starring Clint Eastwood and Robert Duvall. She also played Lulu Warnicker alongside Kevin Bacon as Ren in 1984's "Footloose."

As for her TV work, Marta appeared in producer Aaron-Spelling's "The Mod Squad," "The Rookies," "Starsky & Hutch," "Charlie's Angels" and "Matt Houston." Marta also had small parts in Quinn Martin-produced telecasts, such as "The F.B.I.," "Dan August," "Cannon," "The Streets of San Francisco," "Barnaby Jones," "The Manhunter" and "Caribe."

Her personal life was tied to her day job. Marta reportedly had an open relationship with "Starsky & Hutch" star David Soul while he was married to Karen Carlson.

In 1983, People magazine wrote, "All through the 'Starsky & Hutch' years, David and Lynne lived together but spent time with other people." Earlier this month, Soul died at 80 ... his cause of death was not disclosed.

Marta was 78.

Josh Duhamel has something new to celebrate ... he's a dad again!

The actor and his model wife Audra Mari welcomed their first child, Shepherd Lawrence Duhamel, on January 11, announcing the exciting news Tuesday night on Instagram with a photo of the little one's feet. As far as feet go, Shepherd is one helluva cutie!

As you probably know, Josh has another son, 10-year-old Axl, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Fergie.

In a September 2023 interview, Josh told Parade that Axl had a funny reaction when he learned he was going to be an older brother.

Axl wanted reassurance that he was still the firstborn and Josh was still going to love him after Shepherd was born.

Of course, Josh confirmed all of the above, adding that Axl is a "really sweet kid" and "loves babies!"

Sounds like Axl and Shepherd are gonna hit it off.

Los fans de Taylor Swift han estado convencidos de que su ídola escribió el libro que se está convirtiendo en la película "Argylle", pero el director está lanzando un balde de agua fría sobre sus esperanzas y sueños.

Matthew Vaughn hizo una entrevista recientemente en la que abordó este rumor/teoría que ha estado flotando alrededor de casi 3 años y es que T-Swift sería la misteriosa autora del manuscrito de "Argylle", del que se está haciendo una película con el mismo nombre.

La escritora se hace llamar "Elly Conway", el mismo nombre de la protagonista de la película, y su verdadera identidad no ha sido revelada. Así que los Swifties han estado convencidos de que Taylor podría ser su creadora (más sobre esto en un momento).

Desafortunadamente para ellos, Vaughn le dijo a Rolling Stones que todo es mentira: "Yo no soy muy fan de Internet y en realidad fue mi hija la que se acercó a mí. Este es el poder de las celebridades y de Internet y me dijo: '¡Nunca me dijiste que Taylor escribió el libro!".

Y añade: "Y yo la miro diciendo: '¿De qué estás hablando con que Taylor Swift escribió el libro? ¡Ella no escribió el libro!' Y yo me reía porque le decía: '¡No es verdad! Ella no escribió el libro'. Pero mi hija estaba convencida de ello".

Matthew luego dice mucho más, definitivamente: "[H]ay una Elly Conway que escribió el libro, pero no es Taylor Swift. Y lo digo porque imagino que Taylor Swift tiene un montón de gente intentando subirse a su carro a diestra y siniestra. No quiero formar parte de ese club. Leí las conspiraciones y pensé: "¡Vaya, no dejan piedra sobre piedra!". Pero no es Taylor Swift. Definitivamente, ella no escribió el libro".

Parte de la razón por la que la legión de Taylor pensó que ella podría ser la autora se debe a cosas sutiles que pensaban se referían a ella, como el gato Scottish Fold (ella tiene 2), el hecho de que usa suéteres de argyle y otras "pistas" que los fans recogieron.

Taylor Swift fans have been convinced that their idol wrote the book that's being made into the "Argylle" movie -- but the director's throwing cold water on their hopes and dreams.

Matthew Vaughn recently did an interview where he addressed this rumor/theory that's been floating around for almost 3 years now -- namely, that T-Swift is the mysterious author who penned the manuscript for "Argylle" ... which is being made into a film of the same name.

The writer goes under the pseudonym of "Elly Conway" -- the same name of the main character in the flick -- and her real identity hasn't been revealed whatsoever. So, Swifties have been eating up perceived Easter eggs that they think point to Taylor (more on this in a bit).

Unfortunately for them, Vaughn's now saying it's all BS -- telling Rolling Stone ... "I'm not a big internet guy, and it was actually my daughter who came up to me -- this is the power of celebrity and the internet -- and said, 'You never told me Taylor wrote the book!'"

He adds, "And I’m looking at her going, ‘What are you talking about Taylor Swift wrote the book? She didn’t write the book!’ And I was laughing because I was like, ‘It’s not true! She didn’t write the book!’ But my daughter was convinced of it."

MV then says much more definitively ... "[T]here is an Elly Conway who wrote the book, but it’s not Taylor Swift. And I say that because I imagine Taylor Swift has a load of people trying to jump on her bandwagon left, right, and center. I don’t want to be a part of that club. I did read the conspiracies and I was like, ‘Wow, they don’t leave a stone unturned!’ But it’s not Taylor Swift. She definitely didn’t write the book."

Part of the reason Taylor's legion thought she might've been the author is because of all these subtle things they thought referred to her -- including the Scottish Fold cat featured (she has 2 herself), the fact she wears argyle sweaters, and other "hints" fans picked up on.

The armorer that's being prosecuted in the "Rust" criminal case was reportedly offered an ultimatum of sorts -- tell us how a real bullet made its way on set, or face more charges.

Variety cites emails that it says it's viewed -- which were supposedly sent to Hannah Gutierrez-Reed's legal team back in September from special prosecutor Kari Morrissey ... who's heading up the case after the D.A. recused herself.

According to the outlet -- which cites the emails that were allegedly sent -- Morrissey wrote ... "I feel very strongly she has some notion of how the live rounds came on set."

She adds, "I certainly respect her right not to come forward with that information and to stay silent, however if she were to come forward and answer some of these questions that plague the victims in this case that would go a long way toward getting her a favorable resolution."

Variety says the emails go on to float what Gutierrez-Reed's lawyers perceived as a threat ... "If she chooses not to, while I respect her decision, I will proceed with the additional felony charges we spoke of." Mind you, HGR has already said she doesn't know how a live round got into the gun that was used that day by Alec Baldwin, let alone how it got onto set.

In response to this offer, her team invoked their client's right against self-incrimination -- and lo and behold ... Gutierrez-Reed was, in fact, hit with more charges shortly thereafter.

She was accused of carrying a gun into a liquor store about 10 days after the shooting ... a 4th-degree felony. Gutierrez-Reed is already facing involuntary manslaughter charges.

American actor Jake Abel was in his early 20's when he played the role of Luke Castellan -- the handsome demigod at Camp Half-Blood -- in the fantasy film "Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief" back in 2010.

Joining Jake in the adventure-packed movie included Logan Lerman as the brave demigod son of Poseidon, Percy Jackson, Brandon T. Jackson as Percy's hardworking bestie and guardian, Grover Underwood, and Alexandra Daddario as Percy's romantic interest and demigod daughter of Athena.

In 2013, Abel reprised his role in "Percy Jackson: Sea Of Monsters."

El actor estadounidense Jake Abel tenía poco más de 20 años cuando interpretó el papel de Luke Castellan —el apuesto semidiós del Campamento Half-Blood— en la película de fantasía "Percy Jackson y los Olímpicos: El ladrón del rayo" en 2010.

Junto a Jake en la película llena de aventuras se encontraban Logan Lerman como el valiente semidiós hijo de Poseidón —Percy Jackson— Brandon T. Jackson como el trabajador y guardián de Percy, Grover Underwood y Alexandra Daddario como el interés romántico de Percy y semidiosa hija de Atenea.

En 2013, Abel retomó su papel en "Percy Jackson: Mar de monstruos".

Antes de alcanzar la fama en Hollywood, Brad Pitt pasaba días enteros sin ducharse, al menos según Jason Priestley, que solía vivir con él.

El ex "90210" reflexionó sobre su breve tiempo viviendo juntos antes de la fama junto con otra persona en una "parte cutre de Los Ángeles". Contando la historia en "Live with Kelly and Mark" el martes.

Jason dice que los roomies con frecuencia jugaban un juego para ver quién de ellos podría estar más tiempo sin bañarse, y resulta que Jason dice que había un ganador constante.

Según él, era Brad quien generalmente ganaba la competencia repugnante, lo que nos deja preguntándonos si todavía se habría convertido en el mayor rompecorazones de Hollywood si la gente hubiera sabido de esto.

Afortunadamente, Jason dice que él no cree que Brad siga con esas costumbres, aunque dice que no puede confirmarlo tampoco.

Por suerte para Jaso, sus días juntos en un pequeño apartamento no duraron mucho, ya que ambos se catapultaron a la fama a principios de los noventa, Jason en "Beverly Hills 90210" y Brad en "Thelma y Louise". Después de eso, el resto es historia.

Es seguro decir, que son cualquier cosa menos actores lavados en estos días ... aunque, suena como BP podría haber necesitado un baño o dos, mientras que él estaba tratando de entrar en el negocio.

Afortunadamente, esos días han quedado atrás y sus carreras han recibido una lluvia de elogios.

Before scrubbing up for his Hollywood fame, Brad Pitt would happily go days without showering -- at least according to Jason Priestley ... who used to live with the dude.

The '90210' alum reflected on their brief time living together pre-fame along with one other person in a "crappy part of L.A." ... telling the tale on "Live with Kelly and Mark" Tuesday.

JP says the roomies would frequently play a game to see who among them could go the longest without bathing. And as it turns out, Jason says there was a consistent winner.

According to him, it was Brad who usually made a clean sweep of the disgusting competition ... which leaves us wondering if he still would've become Hollywood's biggest heartthrob if people caught wind of this alleged stink-fest back then.

Thankfully, Jason says he doesn't think he's into those games anymore, given his flashy A-list status and all -- although he says he can't confirm this definitively.

Luckily for both J&B, their days cramped up together in a small apartment didn't last long as they both catapulted to fame in the early nineties -- Jason in "Beverly Hills, 90210" & Brad in "Thelma and Louise." After that, the rest was history.

Safe to say, they're anything but washed-up actors these days ... although, it sounds like BP might've needed a bath or two while he was trying to break into the biz.

Fortunately, those days are behind them, and their careers have been showered with praise.

Tom Brady and Irina Shayk are still seeing each other when they can -- 'cause they just grabbed dinner last night ... and wouldn't you know it, the G.O.A.T's a true gent.

TB12 and Bradley Cooper's ex got together Monday evening in NYC -- where they chowed down at a fancy shmancy place in Lower Manhattan ... kinda by the water, in fact. It's a French restaurant called Brasserie Fouquet's New York -- and they had a table to themselves.

Now, in terms of what went on and whether they were showing any PDA -- we're told they didn't put on explicit signs of affection during the meal ... but they were definitely cozy.

Tom and Irina were there for a total of 2 hours -- and we're told TB said something about the burger and how it good it was. If he did, in fact, grub on that ... he dropped a cool $30 for that bad boy, 'cause that's how much this joint charges for ground beef in a bun!

Anyway ... they walked out of there together, we're told, and lo and behold -- Tom paid.

Couple things ... nice to know Tom isn't one to go Dutch, even with somebody who's as loaded as Irina and who could presumably cover herself. They're both wealthy -- but when it comes down to it ... Tommy's old-fashioned, and willing to pick up the tab for his lady.

Also, this just goes to show Tom and Irina are still in one another's orbit -- not only evidenced in this outing ... but the fact they got together last month in Miami during Art Basel.

Remember, Tom and Irina were first spotted hanging out last summer ... and it seems they're keeping each other around as we go into 2024 -- suggesting they got a good thing.

Tom Brady e Irina Shayk siguen viéndose cuando pueden. De hecho, cenaron anoche y por si no lo sabían, el mejor de todos los tiempos es un verdadero caballero.

TB12 y la ex de Bradley Cooper se reunieron el lunes por la noche en Nueva York, para comer en un lugar elegante de Lower Manhattan, cerca del agua, de hecho. El lugar se llama Brasserie Fouquet, es francés y ambos tenían una mesa para ellos solos.

Ahora, en términos de lo que pasó y si se pusieron cariñosos en público, nos dicen que no hubo signos explícitos de afecto durante la cena, pero estaban definitivamente amorosos el uno con el otro.

Tom e Irina estuvieron allí 2 horas y nos dicen que Tom Brady dijo algo sobre la hamburguesa y lo buena que estaba. Si lo hizo, de hecho, le costó unos $30 porque eso es lo que cobra el restaurante por un beef en el pan.

De todos modos, nos dicen que salieron de allí juntos y que Tom pagó.

Un par de cosas. Es bueno saber que Tom no es de los que prefiere que cada uno pague, incluso con alguien tan forrado como Irina, quien presumiblemente puede cubrirse. Ambos son ricos, pero cuando se trata de eso, Tommy es un hombre chapado a la antigua y dispuesto a pagar la cuenta de su dama.

Además, esto solo demuestra que Tom e Irina siguen estando en la órbita del otro. No solo se evidencia por esta salida, sino porque también se reunieron el mes pasado en Miami durante Art Basel.

Recuerden, Tom e Irina fueron vistos por primera vez saliendo el verano pasado y parece que siguen en contacto a medida que avanza el 2024, lo que sugiere que tienen una buena cosa.

Michael Lohan está criticando la nueva película "Mean Girls" por revivir un golpe bajo del pasado de su hija, Lindsay Lohan, diciendo que Tina Fey y Megan Thee Stallion fueron muy bajas, igual que sus números en taquilla.

El padre de Lindsay le dice a TMZ que está enjado por el "comentario repugnante" en el reboot, pero que encuentra algo de consuelo en los números de apertura de la película, que fueron mucho más bajos que el fin de semana del debut de la original en aquel entonces.

Michael está hablando de la frase de Megan "la entrepierna de fuego está de vuelta" en la nueva película, que hace referencia a un famoso clip de TMZ de 2006, cuando el amigo heredero de Paris Hilton, Brandon Davis llamó a LiLo "entrepierna de fuego" varias veces en cámara.

El padre de Lindsay también está señalando el hecho de que el nuevo musical "Mean Girls" haga 28 millones de dólares en taquilla el fin de semana de estreno es simplemente karma.

La versión original hizo 24.4 millones de dólares durante su fin de semana de apertura en 2004, no está mal cuando pensamos en la inflación. Para los estándares de hoy en día, estaría más cerca de los $40 millones, por no hablar de los $86 millones que recaudó a nivel nacional a través de su carrera teatral.

Básicamente, el padre está apostando a que la nueva "Mean Girls" no se comparará con la versión original de su hija en tereminos de recaudación. Michael también nos dice que nunca vería la nueva "Mean Girls", y mientras él dice que le encantaría aplaudir a Megan, Brandon y Tina, nos dice que está tomando el camino correcto al no involucrarse.

El padre de Lindsay añade: "Voy a decir esto, NADIE puede reemplazar a Lindsay o al elenco original en esa película. Megan tampoco puede reemplazar a Lindsay en el nuevo anuncio de Planet Fitness vestida como una stripper en un anuncio".

Por supuesto, se refiere al hecho de que Lindsay hizo algunos anuncios hace unos años, y ahora, Megan los está haciendo también. El asunto es que parece estar  dando los mismos pasos de Lindsay, pero sin el mismo talento.

En pocas palabras para Michael... alejarse de su hijo, porque él está listo para atacar en su defensa.

Michael Lohan is ripping the new 'Mean Girls' movie for taking a cheap shot at his daughter, Lindsay Lohan ... saying Tina Fey and Megan Thee Stallion went low, just like their box office numbers.

Lindsay's dad tells TMZ ... he's straight-up "pissed" over the "disgusting comment" in the reboot ... but he's finding some solace in the flick's opening numbers, which were far lower than the OG's debut weekend way back when.

Michael's talking about Megan's "fire crotch is back" line in the new movie ... which references a famous TMZ clip from way back in 2006, when Paris Hilton's oil heir buddy Brandon Davis called LiLo a "fire crotch" multiple times on camera.

Lindsay's dad is also pointing at the fact the new 'Mean Girls' musical made $28 million at the box office opening weekend as a bit of karma.

The original version made $24.4 million on its opening weekend in 2004 -- and while that's lower ... it's actually not bad when adjusted for inflation. By today's standards, it'd be closer to $40 million ... not to mention the $86 mil it grossed domestically through its theatrical run.

Basically, ML is betting the new 'Mean Girls' won't hold a candle to his daughter's initial take on it when it's all said and done. Michael also tells us he would never see the new 'Mean Girls' ... and while he says he'd love to clap back at Megan, Brandon and Tina, specifically ... he tells us he's taking the high road and not getting in the gutter with them.

Lindsay's father adds ... "I will say this however, NOBODY can replace Lindsay or the original cast in that film. Nor can Megan replace Lindsay in the new Planet Fitness commercial dressed like a stripper in a fitness commercial."

Of course, what he's referring to there is the fact that Lindsay did some PF commercials a few years ago ... and now, MTS is doing them as well -- the implication being, she's kinda riding Lindsay's coattails, and not doing it nearly as well as she did.

Bottom line for Michael ... back off from his kid, 'cause he's ready to pounce in her defense.

Alec Baldwin está buscando vender su mansión en los Hamptons una vez más y esta vez rebajó el precio en más de $10 millones e hizo un video para los potenciales compradores.

El actor acaba de poner a la venta nuevamente su enorme propiedad en Amagansett, Nueva York, por 18.995.000 dólares, lo que significa una fuerte reducción con respecto al precio original de 29 millones de dólares.

La casa de Alec en los Hamptons tiene 10.000 pies cuadrados y 7 dormitorios. La moderna finca está en un lote de 10 acres y dice: "Usted simplemente no puede conseguir más esto por aquí, no se pueden comprar grandes terrenos, especialmente en Amagansett."

El lugar está engalanado con una sala de cine, una sala de cata de vinos y una biblioteca con paneles de madera, además de una piscina exterior y un spa. También tiene varios balcones y porches para disfrutar de la reserva natural circundante.

En su video, Alec habla poéticamente sobre su amor por los Hamptons. Dice que se enamoró desde el momento en que fue allí por primera vez. Dice que solía ir mucho a la playa cercana cuando era más joven y que a veces se quedaba dormido bajo las estrellas.

En realidad, Alec no entra en la casa en su video. Solo está en la propiedad hablando de lo mucho que disfruta los Hamptons e incluso muestra algunas antiguas casas en la zona.

La casa salió por primera vez al mercado en septiembre de 2022, pero nunca se vendió y un año más tarde fue retirada del mercado. Ahora, Alec y compañía están tratando de poner en marcha la venta nuevamente y se puede decir que realmente quieren deshacerse de ella, lo que queda en evidencia con la participación de Alec y la rebaja en el precio.

Alec Baldwin is once again looking to unload his mansion in the Hamptons ... and this time, he's slashed the price over $10 million and made a video pitch for potential buyers.

The actor just relisted his massive estate in Amagansett, NY, for $18,995,000 ... which is a heavy reduction from the original $29 million price tag.

Alec's longtime Hamptons home is 10,000 square feet with 7 bedrooms ... the modern farmhouse is on a 10-acre lot and he says, "You just can't get this out here anymore, you can't buy big pieces of land, especially in Amagansett."

The place is decked out with a movie theater, wine tasting room and wood-paneled library, plus an outdoor pool and spa. It's also got several balconies and screened-in porches to enjoy the surrounding nature preserve.

In his pitch video, Alec waxes poetically about his love for the Hamptons ... he says he fell in love the moment he first went there, and says he used to go out to the nearby beach a lot when he was younger, sometimes falling asleep under the stars.

Alec doesn't actually go inside the home in his video, he's just on the property talking about how much he enjoys the Hamptons ... and he even shows some of his old homes in the area.

The house first went on the market in September 2022 but it never sold and a year later it was taken off the market. Now, AB and co. are trying to get it going again -- and you can tell ... they really wanna unload this thing, evidenced in Alec's involvement and the price slash.
