So the box office went full nostalgia mode this weekend. “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” jumped straight to number one, proving once again that if you give people Mario and a big screen, they will show up like it’s 1996 on a Saturday morning.
In Hollywood legal drama land, things are getting even more scripted than a daytime soap. Blake Lively is heading toward trial in her case involving Justin Baldoni, and she’s lining up witnesses including her husband Ryan Reynolds, who is expected to talk production details and alleged retaliation claims. The case tied to “It Ends With Us” is still set for mid-May, and yes, it has officially reached the “everyone is being called to the stand” phase of Hollywood.
Speaking of Taylor Swift-level attention, Taylor Swift is reportedly going full VIP security mode for her wedding with Travis Kelce. We’re talking NDAs for guests and an indoor venue to keep things controlled. Basically, if you hear about it without signing something, you didn’t hear about it.
And the bridesmaids? Apparently planning a surprise video that traces Taylor and Travis’s story, complete with clips of her laughing and him being funny. So yes, it’s giving rom-com finale energy… just with a legally binding guest list.
Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian is linked in rumor land to seven-time F1 champ Lewis Hamilton. Sources say it’s “hot and heavy,” but also in that early stage where everyone’s telling her to slow down and she’s politely ignoring them.
Britney Spears is also making headlines, with reports she’s voluntarily entered rehab following a DUI arrest last month. No official confirmation from her team yet, but sources say she’s focusing on getting support right now.
Over in the world of “you can’t make this up,” Frankie Muniz had a rough day at Bristol Motor Speedway. His “Malcolm in the Middle” themed NASCAR truck got wrecked mid-race, ending his run early. He says he still feels like he belongs out there, even if the track didn’t exactly cooperate.
Diddy’s family, according to reports, is already planning a welcome home celebration, convinced he’s going to be released soon and things are about to change fast. Very “we’re manifesting it” energy.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. is dealing with a $7.3 million IRS lien tied to unpaid taxes, while also reportedly eyeing a boxing comeback. Because of course the story includes both taxes and a comeback.
And finally, there’s a new twist of Hollywood superstition. The “Baywatch” reboot cast is reportedly getting nervous about a so-called curse hanging over the franchise legacy. Some are even thinking about bringing in spiritual help. Because nothing says “new job excitement” like immediately wondering if it’s haunted.
