SYDNEY SWEENEY 'MADAME WEB' FLOP ... ACTUALLY A SMART CAREER MOVE!!!

Sydney Sweeney's a hall of fame spin doctor, or she's got showbiz all figured out ... because she's explaining why the epic flop of "Madame Web" is actually good for her career.

The actress basically has a strategic business perspective on the film crashing and burning at the box office ... telling GQ UK she's seeing it as a smart move in the grand scheme of things 'cause her involvement in the film has strengthened her ties to the big wigs at Sony.

Sydney says starring in the flick opened doors she wouldn't have access to, otherwise.

Case in point, thanks to her connection with Sony, she managed to get her other movie "Anyone But You" made and even snagged the lead role in the new "Barbarella" movie -- all under the Sony umbrella.

As for directly addressing the "Madame Web" backlash ... Sydney's saying she was just hired as an actor, and was stoked to breathe life into the character.

But when it comes to the fallout from it flopping, she's cool with riding the wave wherever it takes her, especially since she's not in the producer's seat.

IYDK, back in 2020, Sydney actually launched her own production company, Fifty-Fifty Films, which helped the success of her other film, "Anyone But You," costarring Glen Powell.

"Madame Web" didn't quite hit the same mark -- barely scraping together $25.8 million domestically in its opening weekend.

But as far as Sydney's concerned, a movie's plot ain't a deal breaker when it comes to choosing scripts ... she's just focused on building professional relationships.

Translation: Syd's playing the long game!

Megan Fox Offers Cryptic Update on MGK ... We'll Always Be Connected

I'm Not Willing To Explain
Call Her Daddy / Spotify

Megan Fox is finally speaking out about the status of her relationship with Machine Gun Kelly, and while she's trying to be coy ... she's also hinting there could be trouble in paradise.

The one thing Megan was very clear about while on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, was that her romance with MGK will no longer play out in the public eye -- and then she attempted to play the "no comment" card in a very cryptic way.

Try to decipher this -- Megan told host Alex Cooper she will always have love for MGK ... referring to the artist as her "twin soul," and there will always be "a tether to him, no matter what."

The comment suggests they're no longer engaged, but Megan refused to say anything specific about their current status.

For anyone scratching their heads over the starlet's vague relationship update, she confessed that she can see how it is confusing for the public to understand.

That's nice of her ... but still totally lacking clarity.

Megan's statement comes not long after MGK opened up about his grief in the aftermath of their miscarriage a while back. He got candid about it in the song, "Don't Let Me Go," which dropped at the end of February.

IT'S COMPLICATED
TMZ.com

The couple still hasn't set a wedding date -- 2 years after getting engaged -- but things have been rocky since last year when Megan fueled breakup speculation with a post quoting song lyrics from Beyoncé's "Lemonade" album.

Maybe MGK's massive new tattoo was a sign things were changing? If so, Megan's not ready to fully come clean.

Megan Fox Da críptica actualización de su relación con Machine Gun Kelly...

032024_megan_fox_kal 3/20/24
No puedo explicarlo
Call Her Daddy / Spotify

Megan Fox finalmente está hablando sobre su relación con Machine Gun Kelly, y aunque fue algo esquiva, también insinúo que podría haber problemas entre ellos.

La única cosa en la que Megan fue muy clara es que su romance con MGK ya no se desarrollará en el ojo público, según contó en el podcast "Call Her Daddy", y luego trató de jugar la carta del "sin comentarios" de una manera muy críptica.

Traten de descifrar esto, Megan le dijo a la anfitriona Alex Cooper que siempre querrá a Machine Gun Kelly, refiriéndose al artista como su "alma gemela", y que siempre habrá "una atadura a él, no importa qué".

El comentario sugiere que ya no están comprometidos, pero Megan se negó a decir algo específico sobre su estado actual.

Para todos los que se están tomando la cabeza con esta vaga actualización sobre su relación, ella misma confesó que entiende lo confuso que puede ser para el público.

Eso es tierno de su parte, pero sigue siendo igualmente confuso.

La declaración de Megan se produce poco después de que MGK se abriera sobre el dolor que vivieron por su aborto involuntario hace un tiempo. Se sinceró al respecto en la canción, "Don't Let Me Go", que salió a fines de febrero.

La pareja aún no ha fijado una fecha para su boda, dos años después de que se comprometieron, pero las cosas han sido difíciles desde el año pasado, cuando Megan alimentó las especulaciones sobre una ruptura con un post donde citaba letras de canciones del álbum "Lemonade" de Beyoncé.

¿Tal vez el nuevo tatuaje de MGK era una señal de que las cosas estaban cambiando? Si es así, Megan no está lista para confesarlo todo.

ANNE HATHAWAY DESMIENTE LA TEORÍA DE HARRY & OLIVIA...

La nueva comedia romántica de Anne Hathaway tiene muchos elementos en común con la relación de Olivia Wilde y Harry Styles, pero aclara que no hay ninguna conexión.

La última película de la actriz, "The Idea of You", trata de una madre soltera de 40 años -interpretada por Anne- que se mete en un tórrido romance con un cantante de 24 años, interpretado por Nicholas Galitzine, y la gente ya ha interpretado esto como una inspiración.

Como ustedes saben, Olivia también era una madre soltera cuando se enganchó con Harry un par de años atrás y es por eso que la gente cree que Anne y compañía llevaron su historia a Amazon Prime.

Por desgracia para todos los que esperaban que esto fuera cierto, Anne hizo una aclaración en una reciente entrevista con Extra esta semana mientras promocionaba la película.

Cuando le preguntaron explícitamente sobre la teoría de Olivia y Harry, respondió. "No, simplemente no". En su lugar, Anne dice que la película trata de su personaje haciendo todo lo posible para recuperarse del desamor después de que su ex marido la dejara hecha pedazos... bastante genérico la verdad.

Puede haber algunos paralelismos, pero la verdad es que no pasa de una coincidencia.

Volviendo a Anne, ella dice que su nuevo papel es perfecto en este punto de su carrera, a pesar de que algunos han sugerido que ella es demasiado para el papel. Anne aclara que solo quería divertirse, y parece que lo está haciendo.

Keanu Reeves ¡¡¡Aparece con el pelo corto!!! Por primera vez en años

Keanu Reeves se está deshaciendo de su larga melena por un peinado muchísimo más corto y todo por un nuevo rol en una película.

El actor apareció en el set de "Outcome" con el pelo mucho más corto de lo que hemos visto de él en años.

Aunque el papel requería que la estrella se recortara su larga melena, al actor de 59 años se le permitió conservar su característica barba, que luce desde hace tiempo.

El pelo de Keanu se ha ido alargando progresivamente a lo largo de las 4 primeras películas de John Wick, pero su barba ha permanecido intacta en su mayor parte. Así que nos preguntamos qué significa esto para la próxima entrega de "John Wick".

Sin embargo, cuando lo fotografiaron el mes pasado, Keanu aún lucía su pelo largo, por lo que el recorte debe haber ocurrido en las últimas semanas.

De hecho, Keanu tenía el pelo notablemente más corto en una foto para la que posó con su novia Alexandra Grant, Rob Lowe y Sheryl Lowe, que fue publicada la semana pasada, por lo que el corte puede ser super nuevo.

Lo importante es que el nuevo look se le ve más que excelente.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Además de lucir el nuevo peinado, Keanu fue fotografiado con unos vaqueros clásicos, una camisa blanca y una chaqueta de color canela para la película dirigida por Jonah Hill.

Para aquellos curiosos sobre "Outcome", en la película Keanu interpreta a una estrella de Hollywood ficticia que tiene la tarea de hacer las paces con su pasado cuando es extorsionado con un clip suyo que ha vuelto a resurgir.

Cameron Diaz, que regresó a la actuación el año pasado después de un paréntesis de 10 años, también es parte del proyecto.

Entre la transformación del pelo de Keanu y el regreso de Cameron, hay mucho que esperar de esta película.

ANNE HATHAWAY SHUTS DOWN HARRY & OLIVIA THEORY ... Didn't Inspire My Rom-Com!

Anne Hathaway's new rom-com has a lot of the same elements as Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles' one-time real relationship -- but AH says there's no connection there whatsoever.

The actress' latest movie, "The Idea of You," is all about a 40-year-old single mom -- played by Anne -- who gets into a steamy romance with a super young 24-year-old boy band singer, played by Nicholas Galitzine ... which is why folks think OW and HS are the inspiration.

As you know ... Olivia was also a single mom when she hooked up with Harry a couple years back -- and that's why people believe Anne and co. took their story to Amazon Prime.

Unfortunately for everyone who was hoping for this to be true ... Anne shut it down explicitly in a recent interview with Extra this week while promoting the film.

When asked explicitly about the Olivia and Harry theory, AH replied. "No, just no." Instead, Anne says the movie's all about her character pulling out all the stops to bounce back from heartbreak after her ex-husband leaves her in pieces ... so, more generic than anything.

There might be some parallels ... but it's not anything Anne and co. looked to for reference, despite what some might think.

But back to Anne ... she's saying her new role was perfect for her to sink into at this point in her career -- even though some have suggested she's, perhaps, above it. Anne says she just wanted to have some fun, and it looks like she's doing that for this movie.

Keanu Reeves Steps Out With Short Hair!!! First Time in Years

Keanu Reeves is ditching his signature long locks for a drastically shorter 'do ... all for a new movie role.

The actor stepped out on the set of his new feature film, "Outcome," and debuted the shortest cut we've seen on him in years.

While the role clearly required the action star to trim his lengthy hair, the 59-year-old A-lister was allowed to keep his trademark beard, which he's sported for a while.

Keanu's hair has gotten progressively longer across the first 4 'John Wick' movies -- but his beard has stayed the same for the most part. So, we wonder what this means for the next 'John Wick' installment.

However, Keanu was photographed just last month still rocking his longer hairstyle -- so the snip must have happened in the last few weeks.

In fact, Keanu had noticeably shorter hair in a photo he posed for with girlfriend Alexandra Grant, Rob Lowe, and Sheryl Lowe ... which was posted last week, so the cut may be super fresh.

FWIW, the new look is most excellent.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

In addition to sporting the new 'do, Keanu was photographed wearing classic denim blue jeans, a white shirt and a tan jacket for the Jonah Hill-directed feature.

For those curious about the new flick, "Outcome" features Keanu playing a fictional Hollywood star tasked with coming to terms with his past when he's extorted over a resurfaced clip.

Cameron Diaz, who returned to acting last year after a 10-year hiatus, is also starring in the project.

Between Keanu's hair transformation and the return of Cameron, there's a lot to look forward to with this movie.

Jake Gyllenhaal Dazzles With Conor McGregor At 'Road house' Premiere

Jake Gyllenhaal was the man of the moment at the NYC premiere of his new movie, "Road House," posing for a slew of photos with his costar – none other than UFC Legend Conor McGregor!

Jake first hit the red carpet with his model girlfriend Jeanne Cadieu at Manhattan's Lincoln Center Tuesday night -- and the two were total knockouts. The actor looked super spiffy in his black suit and tie while Jeanne was the epitome of glamour in her long dark dress.

A bunch of shutterbugs snapped pictures of the smiling couple surrounded by shimmering powder blue neon signs that read, "Road House."

At one point, the couple was joined by Jake's parents, Stephen and Naomi, and all four mugged for the cameras.

But the real treat was when Conor popped up and shared the floor with Jake for their little photo shoot. The costars stood side by side, shaking hands, putting up their dukes and laughing and joking with one another.

Afterward, everyone went inside the theater to enjoy the film, which was a remake of the famous 1989 bar fight drama starring the late Patrick Swayze, who died of pancreatic cancer in 2009.

Jake took on Swayze's iconic role of tough guy protagonist Elwood Dalton while Conor played the villainous hired muscle named Knox. Post Malone also had a cameo as a character called Carter.

Sounds like this reboot packs one helluva punch!

Jake Gyllenhaal I Sliced Hand In Fight W/ Conor ... Got Staph Infection

Jake Gyllenhaal says he suffered a nasty injury while shooting the new "Road House" movie with Conor McGregor ... revealing he cut his hand right open during an intense fight scene -- and ended up with a staph infection.

Much More Realistic
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

The Academy Award nominee and UFC superstar opened up on working together on set during a recent episode of "Armchair Expert" with Dax Shepard ... and while they both praised each other's professionalism, there was a bit of bad blood involved.

Gyllenhaal -- who plays former MMA fighter Elwood Dalton in the flick -- explained he was shooting an intense showdown with Conor's character, Knox ... and the scene involved a ton of breakaway glass.

As it turns out, it didn't matter if it was real or fake ... 'cause when Gyllenhaal put his hand down on the bar in the middle of the take, a piece went right through his mitt.

But, there was no quit in the lead actor -- he said he trucked through the shot and finished the scene because they had already run through it several times and he knew this take was a good one.

Once the director called "cut" -- shoutout irony -- Gyllenhaal said he looked down at his hand and noticed his whole arm had swelled up ... and he later found out it was a staph infection.

Of course, staph can be a real pain in the ass ... but it can also be deadly in some cases if it goes untreated.

Luckily, Jakey G is still kickin' ... and he said that was really the only injury he had while filming the Prime Video flick.

Conor ain't the only big-name non-actor in the project -- Post Malone also showed off his acting chops ... and based on BTS pics, the musician got pretty bloody, too.

The movie hits the streaming platform on Thursday ... so those queasy better be ready for some violence!!

JAKE GYLLENHAAL "CONOR ME REBANÓ LA MANO EN UNA PELEA" Termina con una infección

Jake Gyllenhaal dice que sufrió una lesión desagradable durante el rodaje de la nueva película "Road House" con Conor McGregor, revelando que se cortó la mano durante una intensa escena de lucha, y terminó con una infección por estafilococos.

031924_Jake-Hyllenhall_Conor-McGregor_Audio_Audio-Template
MUCHO MÁS REALISTA
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

El nominado al Oscar y la superestrella de la UFC se abrieron sobre el trabajo en el set durante un reciente episodio de "Armchair Expert" con Dax Shepard, y mientras que ambos elogiaron el profesionalismo del otro, hubo un poco de mala sangre involucrada.

Gyllenhaal -que interpreta al ex luchador de MMA Elwood Dalton en la película- explicó que estaba filmando un intenso enfrentamiento con el personaje de Conor -Knox- en el cual había vidrios rotos involucrados.

Resulta que no importaba si era real o falso... porque cuando Gyllenhaal puso la mano en la barra en medio de la toma, un trozo atravesó su guante.

El actor principal no se dio por vencido, y siguió adelante con la toma. Finalmente terminó la escena luego de haberla hecho varias veces.

Una vez que el director dijo "corten", Gyllenhaal dijo que miró hacia abajo y se dio cuenta de que tenía el brazo hinchado... más tarde se enteró de que estaba infectado con estafilococos.

Por supuesto, el estafilococo puede ser un verdadero dolor de cabeza, pero también puede ser mortal en algunos casos si no se trata.

Por suerte, Jakey sigue pateando, y dijo que era realmente la única lesión que tuvo durante el rodaje de la película de Prime Video.

Conor no es el único no-actor de renombre en el proyecto. Post Malone también mostró sus habilidades de actuación, y basándonos en las fotos, al músico también le tocaron escenas sangrientas.

La película llega a la plataforma de streaming el jueves, ¡así que prepárense para un poco de violencia!

JAMES BOND ¡AARON TAYLOR-JOHNSON SE APUNTA PARA EL PAPEL!

El actor británico Aaron Taylor-Johnson se meterá en la piel de James Bond, o al menos es lo que le han ofrecido.

Según informa The Sun, la productora de Bond -Barbara Broccoli- ha puesto sus ojos en el actor de 33 años para la próxima aventura de 007, lo que le pondría fin a la larga espera para encontrar al séptimo actor que asumirá el papel icónico que data de 1962.

La publicación informa que nada está escrito en piedra todavía, pero los rumores en la calle es que Bond es un concierto de Aaron si él lo quiere. La oferta formal está sobre la mesa, y los productores están esperando su respuesta.

Pero Eon, la productora detrás de Bond, está bastante segura de que Aaron va a garabatear su nombre en ese contrato en cualquier momento.

La semana pasada, cuando la gente empezó a rumorear que interpretaría a Bond, Aaron se mostró discreto y le dijo a Numero: "Me parece encantador y maravilloso que la gente me vea en ese papel. Me lo tomo como un gran cumplido".

Un movimiento con clase. Mantener la calma hasta que todo sea oficial... muy Bond.

La última película de Aaron fue "Bullet Train" junto a Brad Pitt, y aparecerá en 3 películas este año, "The Fall Guy", "Nosferatu" y "Kraven the Hunter" -la quinta película del Universo Spider-Man de Sony- por lo que se ha mantenido ocupado.

No hace falta decir que la búsqueda para encontrar al próximo 007 ha sido un infierno, con algunos pesos pesados circulando en el aire como Idris Elba, Tom Hardy y Henry Cavill, solo por nombrar algunos. Pero parece que Aaron tiene las de ganar.

JAMES BOND AARON TAYLOR-JOHNSON ZEROED IN FOR GIG!!

British actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson is stepping into the suave shoes of James Bond ... or at least they've reportedly been offered to him, and the ball's in his court!

Bond producer Barbara Broccoli has apparently got her eyes set on the 33-year-old for the next 007 adventure, The Sun reports -- which would bring an end to the super long wait to find the seventh actor to take on the iconic role since 1962.

So, here's the deal ...the publication reports nothing's set in stone yet, but word on the street is that Bond is Aaron's gig if he wants it. The formal offer is sitting right there on the table, with producers waiting to hear back from him.

But, Eon, the production company behind JB, is pretty darn sure that Aaron's gonna scribble his name on that contract any day now.

Just last week, Aaron was keeping it low-key when folks started buzzing about him playing Bond, telling Numero, "I find it charming and wonderful that people see me in that role. I take it as a great compliment."

Classy move. Keeping things cool until everything's official ... very Bond.

IYDK, Aaron's last film was "Bullet Train" alongside Brad Pitt, and he'll be appearing in 3 films this year, "The Fall Guy," "Nosferatu" and "Kraven the Hunter" ... the fifth film in Sony's Spider-Man Universe -- so he's been keeping busy, but looks like he'll soon be adding a whole lot more to his plate.

Goes without saying, the quest to find the next 007 has been one heck of a ride, with some seriously heavy hitters in the mix, such as Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, and Henry Cavill ... just to name a few. But, as for now, it looks like it's ATJ's role to lose.

'Couples Therapy' DR. JENN HURLEY CROSSING BOUNDARIES W/ SON Don't Strip In Front Of Him!

Dr. Jenn Mann has advice for Elizabeth Hurley -- keep your clothes on around your grown son ... 'cause it goes beyond the pale of what she considers a healthy parent-child dynamic.

The "Couples Therapy" doc tells TMZ ... even though the actress' 21-year-old son Damian is a consenting adult, the fact that he's directing his mom's sex scenes is a major boundary breach between parent and child -- at least from her POV, anyway.

With two best-selling parenting books under her belt -- "SuperBaby: 12 Ways to Give Your Child a Head Start In the First 3 Years" and "The A to Z Guide to Raising Happy, Confident Kids" -- the renowned psychotherapist is speaking from experience when she advises against simulating sex in front of your kid. In her eyes, it's just not the best way to operate.

Jenn does acknowledge that this is a Hollywood thing -- calling out the biz for its lack of boundaries ... noting that Damian directing his mom's sex scene for her upcoming erotic thriller "Strictly Confidential" really blurs the lines ... presumably between voyeurism and art.

She also tells us she finds it downright bizarre that Hurley felt liberated by her son witnessing her being intimate on-camera ... adding the only reason she'd understand EH's empowerment is if she was merely boosting his directing career. Aside from that ... she doesn't get it.

Jenn's not shy in pointing out that Liz and Damian's relationship seems to push boundaries that might be crossing into taboo territory, violating cultural norms ... and she gets why others, like herself, would have a negative reaction to the whole situation.

JM says she thinks Liz and Damian might be best suited for therapy -- and lucky for them, she's a wiz in that field.

As we reported ... EH told Access Hollywood her son Damian made her comfortable during an intimate scene where she wears some seriously skimpy clothing while getting steamy with another woman.

While most others would recoil at the idea of seeing their parents in such a scene ... Liz says she enjoyed it so much, she'd be totally down for a little more mother-son collaboration in the future.

Jenn's hoping they don't, though.

Judith en "Saving Silverman" ¿la recuerdas?

La actriz estadounidense Amanda Peet tenía 28 años cuando interpretó a Judith -la bella e intimidante psicóloga que manipula a su novio- en la película de comedia y crimen "Saving Silverman", allá por 2001.

Amanda compartió la gran pantalla con Jason Biggs en el papel de Darren, el novio de Judith y el director social de la residencia de ancianos, e interpretando a los dos mejores amigos de la infancia de Darren estaban Jack Black como J.D. y Steve Zahn como Wayne, quienes intentaban evitar que Darren se casara con Judith para ligarlo a su amor del instituto.

Adivina qué aspecto tiene ahora.

Judith In 'Saving Silverman' 'Memba Her?!

American actress Amanda Peet was 28 years old when she played Judith -- the beautiful and intimidating psychologist who manipulates her boyfriend -- in the classic comedy film "Saving Silverman" back in 2001.

Amanda shared the big screen with Jason Biggs as Judith's boyfriend and the caring social director at the retirement home, Darren ... and playing Darren's two childhood best friends was Jack Black as J.D. and Steve Zahn as Wayne -- both who were trying to prevent Darren from marrying Judith in order to hook him up with his high school crush.

Guess what she looks like now!
