WILL SMITH AND JANET HUBERT OPEN UP ABOUT THEIR ISSUES ON ‘FRESH PRINCE’ REUNION – (11/19/2020)

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air reunion airs today on HBO Max and during the reunion, Will Smith and Janet Hubert hashed out their differences. According to Showbiz Cheat Sheet, Hubert — who played Aunt Viv, revealed that she had issues in her personal life, she was pregnant and in an abusive marriage and it affected her work on the set. 

She told Will, “When I left the show, I had this new baby and no one.  Family disowned me. Hollywood disowned me. My family said, ‘You’ve ruined our name.’ And, I wasn’t unprofessional on the set. I just stopped talking to everybody because I didn’t know who to trust because I’d been banished. They said it was you who banished me because you were Will. You were a kid. It was hard.” 

Will apologized and then responded, “During that time, her pregnancy, I wasn’t sensitive. I wasn’t perceptive and now that I’ve had three kids, I’ve learned some things that I did not know at the time and I would do things very differently. But I can see where I made the set very difficult for Janet. I was 21 years old. Everything was a threat to me. Not you, the world. I was so driven by fear and jokes and comedy and all of that. [Now]  I have children. I’ve been divorced and have a second marriage. I can see now the level of pain and the level of struggle that it was for you just to show up every day.”

TAYLOR SWIFT ADDRESSES LATEST SALE OF HER MASTERS – (11/17/2020)

Taylor Swift made a lengthy statement on Twitter following a report from Variety that Scooter Braun’s Ithaca Holdings sold her masters for more than $300 million. 

According to Swift, she was unable to negotiate to get her own masters back unless she signed an ironclad NDA saying she would never speak negatively about Scooter Braun.  Instead, all of her music, videos and album art was sold to Shamrock Holdings.

She wrote, “As soon as we started communication with Shamrock, I learned that under their terms Scooter Braun will continue to profit off my old musical catalog for many years. I was hopeful and open to the possibility of a partnership with Shamrock, but Scooter’s participation is a non-starter for me.”

The singer continued, “I have recently begun re-recording my older music and it has already proven to be both exciting and creatively fulfilling.  I have plenty of surprises in store.”

Braun took ownership of Swift’s catalog in June 2019 when Ithaca purchased Big Machine Label Group for $300,000. Swift announced in August 2019 that she planned to re-record her first five albums as soon as she was legally able to in November 2020.

SHOULD PRINCE HARRY BACK OUT OF NETFLIX DEAL OVER ‘THE CROWN’? – (11/17/2020)

The Royal Family is reportedly furious over Netflix’s portrayal of them on The Crown, and some feel that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle should opt out of their multi-million dollar deal with the streamer over the uproar. 

The fourth season of The Crown looks at Princess Diana and Prince Charles’ relationship, including his affair. Royal columnists and Twitter are calling on Harry and Meghan to step down. Mail on Sunday scribe Emily Andrews wrote: “Never before have members of her own family been associated with those ‘trolling’ the Monarchy. The unedifying impression is that, by having signed a deal with Netflix, Prince Harry and his former Hollywood star wife Meghan are seen to be lavishly benefiting from the company’s distortion of the truth about the Royal Family. Their reported $100 million deal with the US streaming giant will help give Harry financial freedom but it has raised eyebrows back home – particularly among those close to Charles and William. How can he take money from a company that traduces his family? That unfeelingly recreates the Irish terrorist bomb that killed Lord Mountbatten and three others? That mawkishly picks over the carcass of Harry and William’s parents’ bitter marriage break-up like a vulture?”

On Twitter meanwhile, some joked that this is just another excuse for “The British Media to figure out a way to blame #PrinceHarry and #MeghanMarkle for the portrayal of princess Diana in Netflix the crown.”

One Royal who does plan to tune in is Duchess Camilla, who reportedly plans to watch her affair with Charles play out. 

Meanwhile, one of the stars of The Crown, Emma Corrin, told British GQ that she’d leave any party with royals. 

“I can’t imagine,” she said of the Prince William and Harry’s reaction. “I’m not going to say it doesn’t matter, because that would be ignorant. If someone made a program about my grandma, who died last year, that would be difficult for me to watch.”

OLIVIA WILDE, JASON SUDEIKIS SPLIT AFTER 7-YEAR ENGAGEMENT – (11/16/2020)

Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis are splitting up after being engaged for seven years. The 36-year-old Booksmart director and 45-year-old Ted Lasso star share Otis, 6, and Daisy, 4. An insider tells People: “The split happened at the beginning of the year. It’s been amicable and they’ve transitioned into a great co-parenting routine. The children are the priority and the heart of the family’s relationship.”

They started dating in November, 2011 and he proposed after the holidays in 2012. 

Sudeikis told Stephen Colbert on The Late Show of their courtship: “I actually came off looking a little cooler than I really am because I had heard through the grapevine, through mutual friends who weren’t exactly her best girlfriends, who would report back, ‘Oh you know, I think she’s dating someone.’ So I didn’t make any moves. I was just very, very busy with other things. And next thing you know, I stopped being busy, she stopped dating someone, and then it was off to the races.”

Twitter reacted with horror. Wrote one: “Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis broke up so can someone please check on Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively? They’re our last chance at believing in love.”

They were last spotted in September at the beach, mid-PDA. Wilde was spotted post-break-up, keeping it casual in a tan coat, white pants and a black face mask. She appeared to be doing shopping in L.A.

In a social media post over the weekend, Wilde reflected on her love for their kids, dubbing them “my everythings” on her IG Story.
