Sad news to start — Bobby J. Brown, who played Officer Bobby Brown on The Wire, has passed away at 62 after an accidental barn fire in Maryland. He was also a former boxer and popped up on Law & Order: SVU. He’s survived by his wife and two daughters. Tough one.
Pink is shutting DOWN those breakup rumours with Carey Hart. After a “source” claimed they split, she literally posted a video saying she’d just been “alerted” to her own breakup… and called it “not true.” Married since 2006, two kids, still going strong. Oh — and NBC is reportedly eyeing her as a possible replacement for Kelly Clarkson in daytime. Honestly? I’d watch that.
Congrats to David Guetta — he’s a new dad again! Baby number four, and second with girlfriend Jessica Le-don. They welcomed a baby named Skyler.
Jim Carrey got emotional in Paris accepting an honorary César Award. The Newmarket, Ontario native called it a full-circle moment for his French-Canadian roots. He joked about his French and said he only came back for Sonic because — and I quote — “I needed the money.” Respect the honesty, Jim. Respect.
Savannah Guthrie still hasn’t decided if she’s returning to Today. There’s no timeline, and NBC says there’s no pressure. She’s been off the air for nearly a month as the search continues for her mom in Arizona.
Britney Spears is reportedly on a spending spree after selling her music catalog for $200 million. Luxury trips, jewelry, cars — even looking at mega-yachts. Sources say it’s a “free-for-all.” I mean… if I sold my catalog for $200 million, I’d at least look at a yacht too.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s son Maddox dropped “Pitt” from his last name in the credits of her latest film. He worked as an assistant director and was credited as “Maddox Jolie.” Some of the other kids have done the same at different times. Family dynamics in Hollywood — never boring.
And if you’re looking for something to watch — the new season of Drive to Survive is on Netflix right now… and Scream 7 hits theatres today.
