Julia Roberts is back in the rumor mill, with reports claiming her marriage to Danny Moder is feeling some strain — allegedly because of her close, very flirty friendship with Sean Penn.

Amy Schumer is reportedly aiming for what she’s calling a “perfect divorce,” inspired by Gwyneth Paltrow’s famously calm split.

Amy insists her recent weight loss has nothing to do with it, but the timing has people raising eyebrows.
Simon Cowell is apparently giving his fiancée Lauren Silverman her dream wedding — even though sources say he’s not exactly thrilled about the whole thing. That said, Simon still wants total control, down to making it a surprise for her. Romantic… and very on-brand. No date yet, but don’t be shocked if it turns into the blingiest “small wedding” ever.
Ray J is sharing some serious health news, saying doctors warned his heart is failing after he was hospitalized with pneumonia and chest pain. He says his heart is working at about 60 percent and that he may need a pacemaker or defibrillator. He’s been told to quit drinking and smoking and says he’s staying positive and following treatment.
Sydney Sweeney caused a bit of chaos in Hollywood after launching her new lingerie line — and promoting it by hooking bras onto the Hollywood sign. The line sold out within hours, city officials were reportedly not looped in, and yes, a restock is already on the way.
Closer to home, Prince Edward County’s own Miss Emily has earned her second Juno nomination, this time for Blues Album of the Year for The Medicine. She says the album blends decades of songwriting with some heavy themes — but a lot of hope. The Junos run March 26th to 29th on CBC.
In advertising news that might make your wallet nervous, NBC is now charging ten million dollars for a single 30-second commercial. That’s not a typo. Thirty seconds. Ten million.
