Dakota Johnson and Coldplay lead Chris Martin have called it quits after 8 years of dating.

Chris Martin’s last high-profile breakup was with Goop-owner Gwyneth Paltrow, and together they famously coined the term “conscious uncoupling.” Johnson, though, comes off as someone who loves her privacy and would never just release a public statement about her private life. People, however, were still able to find a source who could confirm that the two are actually through.

The two have had an on-and-off relationship, but according to sources at People, this is not another off phase — rather, this is an actual definitive ending. In Aug. 2024, there were rumors that the two were done, and even earlier that very year, there were rumblings that the two’s relationship was rocky. But nothing was ever as conclusive as this latest report.

Dakota Johnson is currently on the press run promoting what looks like could be her biggest mainstream role yet: The Materialist. From all the trailers, and all the people involved — Chris Evans and our new Reed Richards, Pedro Pascal — it looks like a fun date night movie. Dakota Johnson seemingly could just focus on her career and things might pick up from there, but even that assumption is a little complicated.

Sources report that a mere two weeks ago, Johnson and Martin were spotted together. And even went on tour together this January. And also there was an earlier report that the two had been engaged. So it’s all complex, and it all suggests that maybe the two might actually not be completely over it for now.

The influx of sources surrounding their relationship didn’t stop fans from spinning their own stories, though. Some made a play on Coldplay’s hit to suggest that Johnson was the one who left Martin, saying, “Viva La Exit.” Others were hawk-eyed, reminding people that Johnson had just recently had dinner with the brand-new owner of all her masters, Taylor Swift — suggesting she really is the friend they all run to during a break-up.

Which probably is in reference to Zoë Kravitz having had a similar dinner with Swift just a few days into her break-up with Channing Tatum. Johnson and Martin cannot be having an easy break-up — Johnson has been on record stating how close she is to Martin’s kids and how she considers them one big blended family. So she needs all the she can get.

Dakota Johnson has been pretty furtive in her promotion of The Materialists. When you watch the trailer of the movie, by all means it plays out like a run-of-the-mill romantic comedy that invites audiences to expect a happy ending — but on the promotion run, Johnson has repeatedly been questioning why people think love has to last forever. And trying to rationalize the concept of divorces to… the audience? Herself perhaps? Yikes.

All-in-all, the Fifty Shades of Grey actor seems like she’s entering a second peak in her career. The movie looks like it’s gonna be great, she might even cement herself as a bankable star who can greenlight whichever project she wants. Even if she will no longer get to do it beside Chris Martin. You win some, you lose some.

Everything that could be said about Aimee Lou Wood and Walton Goggins’ alleged on-set romance gone sour already exists somewhere on the internet. It had seemed like even they were tired of it and that we might never get any actual details from The White Lotus stars themselves. Somehow, though, fans got what they wanted.

Goggins’ wife recently dismissed all the rumors about her husband’s alleged affair, chalking it up to him simply being more famous these days. Wood, however, hasn’t been asked nearly as much about the alleged romance or the infamous unfollowing shenanigans. But in a new sit-down with Variety, the two finally addressed the speculation — together.

It’s worth noting that Goggins had previously walked out of interviews for merely bringing up his co-star’s name, so this conversation was, by all s, highly unprecedented. Excitement was palpable when it was announced the two would sit down — it felt like a surprise bonus episode of the show’s third season.

Goggins was effusive in his praise of Aimee Lou Wood, getting intense about their first meeting: “It felt like I had already known her for 100 years.” The two apparently formed their own little pod separate from the rest of the cast, referring to themselves as “foxes” because they’d pick at meals and retreat into their cocoon — far from the large cast dinners often hosted by Patrick Schwarzenegger, who had his own on-set struggles.

Wood likened The White Lotus’s production to reality shows like Love Is Blind or Love Island, describing how the cast had to quickly adjust to a new location and blend personal and professional lives. Despite their mutual iration, the pair itted to being disappointed with how the final show turned out.

They expressed reverence for creator Mike White’s writing but revealed frustration that a love scene from the final episode was cut. They joked about demanding a director’s cut, calling the scene crucial to them both.

The conversation naturally shifted to the controversial SNL sketch that mocked Wood’s teeth. According to Wood, targeting her looks was misogynistic. Goggins’ initial decision to post the sketch and later delete it had caused a stir, but with hindsight, he now sees Wood as brave for speaking out in the first place.

That led them to the question everyone wanted answered: did the sketch cause a feud? Goggins shut that down quickly. Goggins said:

“There is no feud. I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me. This is Goldie Hawn. This is Meg Ryan. She can do anything and she will. Watch what the next 20 years of her experience will be. I’ll be on an island Greece, I think. But she’s special. There is no feud. She is love. And I know I am that to her. We care about each other very deeply.”

So there you have it, folks. No on-set romance, no feud — just two ionate actors who care deeply about each other and their work. And we didn’t even have to wait for a post-career memoir for the full breakdown. Honestly, they better get an Emmy nod — if not for their acting, then at least for keeping the show in the zeitgeist this long.

There’s a very egregious update in the ongoing custody battle between streamer DDG and actress-singer Halle Bailey. In new court filings, DDG’s legal team has filed an emergency motion to prevent Bailey from flying out of the country with their son.

DDG, real name Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., submitted an urgent filing to try and block Bailey’s travel plans according to TMZ. Halle is allegedly planning to take their son, Halo, out of the country to Italy. The core argument is that Halle poses an “imminent emotional and psychological risk” to their son. DDG has cited instances during her pregnancy where she allegedly took his gun, and also that she had threatened at least once to have an abortion.

Most alarming in the filing was a series of texts that DDG’s counsel submitted as evidence. In them, a clearly upset Halle threatens to kill herself. DDG’s team is using these claims to argue that there’s an immediate risk to their son’s wellbeing. The aim is to convince the court that there’s a need for urgent intervention — whether that means stopping the planned trip to Italy or fully switching custody to him.

DDG has filed for an emergency court order to block Halle Bailey from taking their child to Italy.

In the filing, he accuses her of:

Repeated threats of self-harm and alarming texts suggesting harm to both herself and the child.

Attempting to secretly get an abortion… pic.twitter.com/ouS1FQ39A1

DDG also included a photo of a large cut on his arm, which he claims was caused by Halle during a domestic abuse incident. This is where their s begin to diverge. Halle and DDG allegedly got into a heated argument in his car over their son’s custody schedule. DDG alleges Halle got agitated, lunged at him, and hit her head on the steering wheel.

Halle, however, has previously accused DDG of an eerily similar incident. In her own motion seeking a restraining order, she alleged that it was actually DDG who slammed her head on a steering wheel.

In a situation that’s starting to resemble a war of memories — similar to the Tory Lanez case — it will all come down to how the lawyers present the evidence they have. DDG is now asking for sole legal and physical custody of his son. If that’s denied, he’s requesting that any custody exchanges happen only under supervision.

Again, theses cases are beginning to mirror each other. The Little Mermaid star immediately filed a countersuit, much like the events of the ever evolving Justin Baldoni v. Blake Lively case. Essentially, Bailey is asking the court to strike down DDG’s request and has characterized her trip to Italy as an unavoidable work obligation. She’s also asking the court to issue a gag order on DDG and his associates to prevent them from discussing the case on social media.

The melting of public personas, career opportunities, and legal disputes has reached a point where all three are fully intertwined. It’s understandable why Halle wants this case to play out far from the court of public opinion. On social media, minds are often made up mere seconds after a story breaks. And in sensitive situations like this — with harm and children involved — it’s best to take a step back and wait to see the full evidence presented.

This is still a developing story and we will give you more updates as they emerge.

There’s talk of a mega shake-up with the Avengers: Doomsday cast. There’s a report that Michael B. Jordan could be getting back into character as Erik Killmonger for Marvel.

It goes without saying that when the first Black Panther came out, Marvel was flying high. They ruled the zeitgeist, and perhaps more importantly, they ruled the box office. Things have changed significantly since then. Michael B. Jordan is a bona fide star now — he just led Sinners to becoming one of the most profitable and raved-about movies of the year so far.

On the other hand, Thunderbolts is a good enough movie, but there’s already talk that it’s set to actually lose money. And some of the MCU’s recent releases have just fully missed the mark. The rug feels like it’s slowly being pulled from underneath the Marvel machine, so they might actually need to figure out how to create a pathway for stars like Michael B. Jordan to return.

If Michael B. Jordan does come back, it’s not going to be either surprising or novel. There’s a pretty interesting aspect to how they chose to bring back Robert Downey Jr. But not all reintegration of characters needs to be that creative. The Avengers, luckily, have a mechanism that makes it possible for them to have their shawarma and eat it too: incorporating other universes. As fans obviously know, Killmonger died in the first Black Panther, and Letitia Wright was already announced to be back as the Black Panther in the Avengers. But if recent reports are to be believed, Michael B. Jordan will be playing a variant of his famed character in the movie.

The report originates from the AlexFromCC. In the Marvel scoops game, you’re only as good as your last correct scoop. And this was right on the money when they were first to report Hailee Steinfeld would Hawkeye. So there’s at least a reason to believe that they have sources deep inside the Marvel machine.

RUMOR:

Michael B. Jordan will interpret a variant of Black Panther in AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY.

The variant will be part of the multiverse team for the AVENGERS.

As for more plot details and how the Creed star’s performance would be incorporated, that’s obviously under lock and key. And with how Marvel typically works, they could still even be tweaking that script. But the way it’s shaping up, the report also suggests he’ll play a small role in the Avengers. Everything right now is pointing at Marvel moving towards the Fantastic Four and maybe even possibly using this as an opportunity to give a backdoor entrance for the X-Men into the larger universe.

Michael B. Jordan certainly cemented himself as one of the heirs of the house the Tom Cruises and Brad Pitts built with his performance in Sinners. It would honestly be cool if he used his star power to cameo and surprise fans, because sometimes even a glimpse of a star is worth the price of ission for some. And while the core Marvel fans will always be loyal to the cause, Thunderbolts is proof that these films also need mainstream appeal for them to make financial sense.

Right now, what Marvel is focusing on isn’t just maintaining the fans they had before, but also building brand-new ones. They need every star they have to achieve that.

There’s a legal battle bubbling in the very center of the reality TV kingdom. Leah McSweeney is suing the big boss of the Real Housewives franchise — Andy Cohen himself.

The former cast member McSweeney is alleging some very serious accusations. Page Six reports that in 2024, McSweeney filed explosive claims in a suit alleging Cohen snorted cocaine with other cast — and that producers of the show even encouraged her to break her sobriety. But now, she’s come back with even more explosive claims.

The former cast member of The Real Housewives of New York City claims that Cohen took the alleged Justin Baldoni route and fired off a media blitz that was a coordinated attack against her. According to McSweeney, Cohen “requested or induced” current and former cast to publicly attack McSweeney’s character — and ensure her reputation as a liar is fully entrenched in the zeitgeist.

The filing claims that the cast were willing to take part in this supposed charade in order to advance their own careers. The filing gives specific examples, like Lisa Vanderpump appearing on The Talk and declaring she’s on Cohen’s side. The granular example was bringing forward the platform argument — which suggests McSweeney should just be grateful that she was given the opportunity to appear on screens all over America. And that all that was thanks to Andy Cohen.

There were other examples where some former cast claimed that McSweeney was simply trying to assassinate Cohen’s character. Taken by themselves, this honestly just sounds like typical Real Housewives drama. Honestly, even when they’re not on the clock — the drama still follows them. However, the filing does acknowledge this and says that all this bad-mouthing is a result of the aforementioned “requesting” or “inducing.”

The filing is meant to bolster McSweeney’s original lawsuit by framing all this media blitz as retaliation. So the new filing is not merely to add more complaints, but rather to accentuate the allegations of Cohen trying to punish McSweeney in some way. It’s worth mentioning that Bravo did stand up for Cohen and previously attempt to get the original motion dismissed. The motion was allowed to proceed after a ruling in January, and according to the new filings, that’s when the “retaliation” began.

McSweeney’s counsel wants to not only prove the retaliation claims but also double down on the claims of cocaine use. The filing states that two unnamed castmates told McSweeney that Cohen does actually use cocaine. NeNe Leakes has also called Cohen a “coke-head,” and the counsel is bringing that up to create historical precedent.

Bravo and Andy Cohen have not given any public comments about this new filing. This new filing is trying to the dots and give the court and perhaps the public too a glimpse at the inner workings of reality TV as it exists today. If true, these allegations seem to suggest that the producers of these shows push their cast beyond their limit and if they don’t follow orders, they will be dumped. And worse off, if they complain — to quote Baldoni’s PR — “they will be buried.”

Sydney Sweeney definitely found a new way to sell soap. It’s salacious, controversial, and while it might leave your body clean… your mind might be entirely another story.

Okay, quick recap for anyone who missed the prequel: once upon a time, Sydney Sweeney went public about the realities of being a movie star in the streaming era. Contracts aren’t what they used to be. Residuals? Practically Monopoly money. She revealed that the only way for up-and-coming stars to stay afloat these days is by taking on more projects — and jumping into the world of celebrity endorsements. And next thing we knew, she was doing ads for Dr. Squatch as the “Sydney Sweeney Body Wash Genie.”

The jokes came in hot. At first they were funny. Then… they got weird. In one ad, she’s lounging in a bathtub, and someone online joked that they’d buy her bath water. Then suddenly that’s all the comments became. Even GQ had to it: the internet simply cannot be normal about Sydney Sweeney.

So here we are — it’s 2025 and anything goes. And in this case, literally anything. Dr. Squatch now claims to have taken droplets from Sweeney’s bath water – her used bath water – and created a special-edition soap… each bar containing said droplets.

Luckily for the Emmy nominee, this is a limited run. She won’t be asked to supply an eternal stream of bath water. According to CNN sources, fans just couldn’t stop asking — so the team at Dr. Squatch finally said, “Let’s do it!” As you might expect, the reactions have been… mixed.

Some people were completely appalled. One on X summed it up with: “Oh God, this is foul.” Most s were asking if ‘straight men are even okay’ given their palpable enthusiasm for the product. Honestly, not much to add to that. The Anyone But You star has certainly reached some career highs — this, however, is a different kind of bold.

Oh god.. this is foul…

I’ll take 5..

— CMFK (@idonttshower) May 29, 2025

Other s were more amused by the corporate logistics. Someone, somewhere, in a boardroom, actually pitched this with a straight face. “What if…” And the rest is body wash history. It’s bizarre, yes — but undeniably effective. The campaign has done wonders for brand recognition. And maybe, just maybe, this proves Sweeney really can sell anything. Now all we need is for the product to be a classic film next.

the guy who pitched this in a meeting risked every ounce of his aura. he was either getting called a creep and fired or promoted https://t.co/B6ZcDblac1

To her credit, Sweeney took the whole uproar in stride. She even posted a photo of the soap on her official Instagram. The newly single star was asked in a GQ interview whether she’s actually used it herself. Her answer? Not yet. But she did note that the product might encourage men to keep their bathrooms cleaner. A win for hygiene! Maybe the next product should be for men’s brains, too?

The entire thing is peak “too online.” One of those stories that, if you tried to explain it to someone not on social media, would sound like you’re reciting a Harry Potter spell. And yet — the soap itself? Innocent-looking enough. You could probably pick it up at a retail store without a second thought, never realizing the online chaos behind it.

Emma Heming Willis, Bruce Willis‘ wife, chose to share how traumatic it was when the Willis family initially got the news of his dementia.

Bruce Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in 2022 and subsequently announced his retirement from acting. When the news first came out, the entire entertainment industry expressed their empathy, and the few who had the pleasure of working with him took the opportunity to point out how he’s been such a class act throughout his career.

Emma has been open about how devastating it’s been managing the illness before. But according to the Daily Beast, she’s working on an entire book chronicling how they’ve managed the illness thus far, and it promises to be more revealing than anything that currently exists about the illness. While talking about the book at the Women’s Alzheimer’s Movement Forum in Las Vegas, Emma recalled how she felt when leaving the doctor’s office after the initial diagnosis, saying, “On the day Bruce got his diagnosis, we left the doctor’s office with a pamphlet and a hollow goodbye. No plan, no guidance, no hope, just shock.”

FTD is relatively rare compared to Alzheimer’s, but it’s a likely form of dementia for individuals at Bruce’s age. Some of the symptoms include personality shifts like anti-social behavior and movement issues. Emma has stayed by his side through all of it and occasionally shares health updates through her social media — even often celebrating the two’s anniversary.

In her book The Unexpected Journey, Emma shared that she plans on giving her readers a “roap” on how to survive the challenges of a loved one dealing with dementia. The Die Hard star’s wife shared of her book, “I wrote it for other caregivers who are desperate for answers, aching for , and wanting to be seen and wondering how they’re going to make it through.”

Luckily for Bruce, his entire family is showing in whichever way they can. It’s not just Emma — with whom he shares two children — but Demi Moore as well. Demi, who is Willis’ ex-wife, never misses an opportunity to show and celebrate Bruce throughout his challenges — come birthdays, anniversaries, or even last year when she was on the awards circuit competing for Best Actress awards for her performance in The Substance.

Emma shared that she’s most grateful for the system she’s had from her family and that she’s doing her best to remind their two children of their fun memories. It’s clear that she has now turned her focus into advocacy for the disease and wants to ensure there’s enough awareness of what FTD is and how it can affect someone’s personal health and social life.

We here at We Got This Covered wish the Willis family all the luck they can possibly get from this earth. FTD, as of this moment, has no known cure. But we’re certain all the professionals are hard at work trying to figure out a way to reverse that.

Emma will certainly be at the front lines of that too — pulling all the attention and letting us know exactly how we can help.

Britney Spears got herself in trouble with the Federal Aviation istration when the multi-platinum singer was met with authorities after landing on her chartered plane.

People reports that Spears chartered her plane from Cabo San Lucas back to LAX. Spears was reportedly back from a vacation and sparked a cigarette during the flight. The flight crew apparently asked her to put out the cigarette, and while Spears reportedly followed their orders, the crew had already alerted the authorities. And immediately the plane landed at LAX, Spears was welcomed home with a slew of authorities.

Since 2000, the FAA has banned smoking in flights. Some private jets, however, do come equipped with smoking zones, but it seems this was not that kind of plane. Britney Spears is by far not the first celebrity who has been caught not following these rules. Some years back, Lil Wayne was reportedly kicked off a chartered private plane for these same reasons. So the FAA did not give Britney Spears any serious reprimanding, and she was lucky to get off with just a warning. But it’s worth mentioning that People reports that the authorities have caught her doing such things before — the source said, “This is not her first warning. She doesn’t exactly follow the rules.”

The FAA has enough problems as is, and throwing the book at a celebrity who just did a minor infraction seems pretty low on their priority list. But if she keeps this pattern up, she might not be so lucky next time. Britney Spears has been going through a tough readjustment period post-conservatorship, with this just being the latest episode of that particular chapter of her life. Spears, of course, is going through a recent divorce from Sam Asghari, which apparently took a financial toll on her despite the ironclad prenup that she had.

Britney Spears’ life has had various episodes of her struggling with too much attention from the public eye, and it’s not a secret that that brings about a emotional strain. There have been reports that the way she deals with the emotional turmoil and isolation is with lavish vacations and other exuberant purchases. This is what made the conservatorship so complicated, because on one hand, it’s been proven to have aspects of poor treatment to the people who need it. But there’s also another side of the coin, where some people truly are not emotionally stable enough to handle the vast amounts of wealth that they’ve accumulated over the years.

Just recently, there was a case of Cher’s son spotted in the streets of LA disheveled and alone. It would be quite a spiral if Britney Spears also gets there too. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves — this, at the end of the day, is just a minor error on her part, and the fact that she immediately put it off at least suggests a sense of self-preservation. Even Spears’ own peers it that the attention that she got from the tabloids and paparazzi during her prime would have driven any of them mad, so picking on her for the slightest issue — while always en vogue — appears not to always be the right thing to do.

Britney Spears’ representatives have not responded to questions about this incident as of this moment. We wish her a peaceful life as she continues to readjust to life out here.

Brian Austin Green is back with an update about why him calling his ex toxic isn’t technically “placing blame” on her. Green argues that it’s intention that matters.

Last time Brian Austin Green shared his thoughts on his previous relationship with Vanessa Marcil, who he shares one son with, Green was explaining on his podcast how one of her main drawbacks is that she doesn’t remind him enough of his mother. Green shared that Vanessa Marcil was “the opposite of that” and that she was very toxic.

Fans online were furious at Green’s painting of his ex-wife. From Vanessa Marcil’s perspective, Green had simply not been present enough during the upbringing of their shared son. And while Brian Austin Green had his reasons, Marcil made it clear that this is something she still holds resentment about. Marcil even shared a screenshot on Instagram that showed Green wasn’t even aware of their son’s graduation.

People caught up with Green at a gala that was fundraising for the eradication of MS and had questions. People had one simple question, “Any regrets?” Brian Austin Green replied, “No, because everything that’s come recently has genuinely been for the purpose of speaking about a relationship.” Brian Austin Green went on to explain that he’s not playing the blame game. For him, it’s pretty clear that when you listen to his show in full, there’s no malicious intention. Green said:

“It’s not pointing fingers, placing blame on anyone. If she takes things that way, then there’s nothing I can do about it. It’s pretty obvious just in listening to the things that I say and what it is we do on our show, that’s not our intention. Our intention is to help people. And people go through toxic situations and tough situations and the best you can do is be open and honest about it and hopefully steer other people clear of those situations or help them get through them.”

To be fair to Brian Austin Green, this is a more measured and classy contribution to the two’s back-and-forth. Two things are almost always certain with Green: he will date a co-star and he will make controversial statements about his personal life — but lately the latter has just been dropping him into a world of mess. Brian Austin Green genuinely seems like he wants his podcast Old-ish to be a respectful yet honest retrospective about what it means to grow up and accept your mistakes. At least that’s what the tone of the show is.

When you look at how Brian Austin Green’s approach and respect for Megan Fox, it’s genuinely irable. He honestly makes it seem like he’s a heaven-sent ex. He never pretends he doesn’t care about her but he also never bashes her. In fact, he’s often the one to come to her defense publicly whenever he thinks she needs it. So clearly this is something Brian Austin Green can do, but just chooses not to with Vanessa Marcil.

Another positive was when Vanessa Marcil shared her now-deleted exchange with Brian Austin Green. The conversation at least ended in pleasantries. Celebrity relationships ending up acrimoniously can have its moment. The exposés, the funny back and forths, the grandstanding on podcasts. But once it’s been a couple of years — or decades for them — it’s time to let things go. Even if your mother is your ex’s complete opposite.

You’d hope that this will be the end of the two’s back-and-forth. And probably social media will receive this better. But a nagging feeling suggests that Vanessa Marcil might have to respond first before we come up to any happy conclusions.

Some way, somehow, The White Lotus became one of the defining shows of the decade. The anthology series somehow found a way to make fans not just invested in the characters but the actors who played them too — and it wasn’t long before Walton Goggins was linked to his onscreen love interest, Aimee Lou Wood.

The show’s run and its immediate aftermath led to one of the funniest cast dramas probably since Don’t Worry Darling. The cast were constantly following and unfollowing each other. Jason Isaacs was going on talk shows to talk about how shooting the series resembled a season of Survivor, calling the experience a “pressure cooker” where apparently alliances were formed and broken. But through all the chaos, there was one relationship that remains fans’ true north star.

During the show’s run, Walton Goggins spoke highly of Aimee Lou Wood. He told People, “We both became enmeshed in each other the way that Rick and Chelsea are, so I think the world of her.” However, soon after the show ended, the two suddenly unfollowed each other on Instagram — and to fuel even more rumors that there was a falling out behind the scenes, they even removed posts that gushed about what a pleasure it was working with each other.

But here’s the thing: Walton Goggins is married, and Isaacs also let the cat out of the bag saying there were romances on the set. Whose romance exactly? Fans assumed Goggins, of course. Goggins’ wife, Nadia Conners, has up until now been silent on the entire matter, but finally Hello Magazine caught up with her and she said: “It’s odd to see it, but it’s an indication of how much people were invested in the fictional characters. I take it as a sign that he’s become quite popular.”

Walton Goggins has been having quite a career indeed. He’s been one of those characters who never quite gets the lead role but silently builds one of the best catalogues in the business. But in 2025, he’s clearly going to hit the next level — with The White Lotus being followed up directly by Fallout and doing voice work in quite possibly the best season of Invincible.

But currently, Goggins is clearly over the Wood situation, and he’s no longer playing around with people who try to catch him with his foot in mouth. The Times UK unfortunately found themselves at the wrong end of his Southern charm and patience when they asked him about Aimee Lou Wood, only for him to sternly reply, “I’m not gonna have that conversation.” When they kept pressing, he ended the interview altogether.
So there you have it folks, it’s over. Hollywood is certainly full of onset romances and affairs, and some iconic couples even had their start in such situations. Goggins, however, is clearly past that particular moment in his life and will probably never revisit it. Unless we get a memoir at the twilight of his career like 20 years from now.

But for now, all Goggins wants to focus on is his family and career.

Justin Bieber’s personal life has been a source of speculation over the past few months — more so than usual. He’s mostly chosen to stay silent about the rumors swirling around him, but he made an exception when it came to Diddy.

When Diddy was first accused of sex trafficking, everyone in his circle came under suspicion of either knowing what was happening or being involved in some way. Some celebrities were rumored to be co-conspirators. Others were believed to be victims. A resurfaced video of a then-15-year-old Justin Bieber with Diddy raised eyebrows. Bieber looked visibly uncomfortable while Diddy made unsettling remarks about how hanging out with him was “a 15-year-old’s dream.” In hindsight, it plays differently — disturbingly so. We now know that some of Diddy’s accs were underage when he allegedly trafficked them. Hopefully they, too, will get the justice they deserve.

Meanwhile, Bieber has been navigating a much different, stripped-down phase of his public persona. He’s had ongoing tensions with the paparazzi. There are reports he’s facing financial issues. And fans suspect marital problems, fueled by his pattern of following and unfollowing Hailey Bieber on social media — a metric people obsess over these days.

Now, with Diddy’s trial finally underway and horrifying details of his abusive relationship with Cassie coming out, Bieber has broken his silence. His representatives sent an official statement to Page Six, saying: “Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him. Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve.”

The Diddy case began with bombshells and continues to unfold. Both the prosecution and the defense are still working through their list of potential witnesses. Maybe Bieber simply wants to stay out of the crossfire and follow his lawyer’s advice. He’s not the only celebrity distancing themselves from Diddy amid the criminal proceedings. Still, whatever his reasons, it’s commendable that he emphasized keeping the spotlight on Diddy’s alleged actions and the victims’ pursuit of justice.

As for Bieber, his focus now seems to be on his long-awaited album. And it has a lot riding on it. According to TMZ, he still owes his former manager Scooter Braun $8 million. He also reportedly sold his catalogue for $200 million to get out of debt. Meaning he’ll need to produce new hits — and tour them — to stay financially secure. To be fair to Bieber, making hits has never been particularly something he struggles with. Even his critically panned songs like Yummy managed to get to the top of the charts.

But financial concerns seem minor compared to what’s at stake in the Diddy case. Fans continue to speculate about Bieber’s mental health and whether he’s spiraling. But at least, they now have clarity: he was never one of Diddy’s victims.

He’s a father now, and the pressure of raising a family under relentless public scrutiny must be immense. Hopefully, he can channel some of that experience into his music and evolve into more mature, reflective ballads.

Listen up Hollywood, The Golden Globes is not done shaking things up.

The Golden Globes is not exactly out of the doghouse, but the come-up seems like it’s on the pipeline. For the longest time, The Golden Globes has always acted as a curtain raiser for The Oscars — a little cringier, a little funnier, and definitely more tipsy. However, there was a badly kept secret underbelly to the inner workings of The Golden Globes: the committee that chose the winners was not diverse at all and, to make it worse, they were also quite corrupt.

But a lot has changed since that revelation in 2023. They got a bit more diverse in their committee and their new ownership vowed to uphold “professionalization.” It took a while before the show got back to its old form, and this year — especially with the elite Nikki Glaser hosting — it felt like they actually might have made a full comeback.

Yet it couldn’t really end there. As things stood, it was just The Oscars’ little brother. The Golden Globes has always stood for an awards night that’s a little looser than anything else on the packed awards circuit. So it was a matter of when and not if for them to make a truly wide swing at an award that doesn’t just suggest the suits and red carpet photography. And that has now fully been decided: The Golden Globes will officially add Best Podcast from 2026 onwards. So there’s a huge possibility of Joe Rogan walking that carpet one day next to all the celebrities he spends his show bashing.

According to CNN, The Golden Globes will only consider podcasts within the Top 25 Podcast list. So there’s at least some quality control. However, it’s not exactly clear how this is going to work. Are they gonna favor movie and TV podcasts like The Big Picture and The Watch? The problem with that is sometimes these shows dedicate entire episodes to reacting to awards nights such as The Golden Globes — so how would that work? And sometimes they criticize these shows and the voters — so would that water down these podcasts because they want to remain in the good graces of the voters?

And then there’s also the case of Joe Rogan and his band of fellow comedians who pride themselves in their irreverent rejection of Hollywood. Do they stand a chance? Or will this award just go to famous celebrities who are yet to win a Golden Globe and happen to have a podcast?

Cynicism has already hit X, and some fans have assumed that this is “completely a PR award.”

…..WHY? I’m sure it’s not gonna be “best podcast” and instead “best podcast done with a celebrity” because this is the golden globes after all. Completely a PR award.

I hope the committee behind The Golden Globes ends up making inspired choices. At this point, podcasting can get you a Webby Award, but nobody can deny that podcasting has since grown into mainstream culture. They even influence elections.

The Golden Globes has informed the press that in the coming weeks they’ll give more information on the eligibility of this category. Glaser is going to have a field day with this category, that’s for sure.
