I Ain't One To Gossip But ...

Is there still some fallout in Hollywood from The Slap? Perhaps so because, rumor has it, a disagreement, a rather volatile disagreement, about The Slap has caused actor Thandiwe Newton –who was costarring in Magic Mike’s Last Dance as the romantic lead opposite Channing Tatum … lucky bitch—has left the film after getting into it with Tatum about, yes, again, The Slap.

Variety says Thandiwe “stepped down,” with Salma Hayek taking her place, while The Sun claims Thandiwe was fired by Tatum, a producer, after they battled over The Slap which made their working relationship untenable. The Independent reports that Thandiwe denies The Sun’s report, and says she left to “deal with family matters.”

For the record, we know that Thandiwe is Team Slap Deserved while Tatum’s new girlfriend, actor Zoë Kravitz, is clearly Team Slap Wrong, so maybe there’s some truth to the story that Will Smith’s antics are to blame.

UPDATE: New rumors are that Thandiwe Newton is headed to rehab to deal with some issues resulting from the end of her twenty-four-year marriage.

The “Westworld” star had been in London filming the third installment of the series, and was ALLEGEDLY acting bizarrely on set, and production became worried about her health. Her agent flew in from LA to try to smooth things over, but Thandiwe left the set and flew back to the States to hopefully check into a facility.

Hopefully, she gets the help she needs.

But … speaking of actors walking off films, it appears that actor Frank Langella has also left a production midway through filming, leaving behind a role that needs to be recast. But this is different; no snit about a slap unless it was an inappropriate slap on the ass by Langella.

Apparently there were reports that Langella was being investigated for ALLEGED sexual harassment and inappropriate conduct on set and was subsequently fired from the production.

He was starring in a new horror limited series for Netflix, The Fall of the House Usher, portraying the Usher family patriarch, Roderick. The production was midway through filming the series, and Langella was canned and now all his scenes must be reshot with a new, as yet unnamed actor … preferably one without wandering hands?

It’s been said that Langella had a fondness for lewd jokes and unwanted touching of a female member of the cast, but Netflix is not playing around and as soon as complaints were lodged and investigated, Langella was out.

Khloé Kardastrophe is a really great mother … no, really … but sometimes she’s just too busy to actually spend time with her kids. See, it seems the “reality star” was caught photoshopping her daughter True into several pictures that she wasn’t originally in, all for the sake of Khloé pretending that her child took a trip with her cousins to Disneyland.

Huh, a reality show star faking reality. Is that a thing now?

Last December, Kim Kardastrophe posted two pictures of her daughter Chicago and Khloé’s daughter True at Disneyland, but True’s likeness seemed more suited to the animatronics at the Hall of Presidents, and people speculated that Kim had faked the photos.

A very savvy TikTok user saw something suspicious and noted that a generic picture of True’s face was Photoshopped onto a body that actually belonged to her other cousin, Stormi Webster, the daughter of Kylie Jenner. Now, the Disneyland pictures are legitimate, though they were taken two months earlier than Kim said.

Wait, a reality show star lied about reality? That’s a thing now, too?

A lot of people jumped onto the comments for the social media pics, and asked why True looked like a sticker, or why Stormi looked like True, and then Khloé “accidentally” admitted to that work of Photoshop:

“Welllppp I fucked this one up. Anyways….. let’s focus on something else Our show airs in a few days.”

Nope. Let’s focus on why you feel the need to Photoshop your child onto the body of your niece so it looks like she was at Disneyland with the family when  she wasn’t. Let’s focus on your need to be in the spotlight badly that you need to lie.

But I guess Khloé has literally Photoshopped  so many faces onto her own melon in real life that no one would notice she Photoshopped a picture of her daughter having fun with her cousins when she was nowhere to be seen.

That’s a thing with reality show stars.

Ireland Baldwin is on the mend after getting a cosmetic procedure called a “FaceTite.” a minimally invasive form of liposuction where a plastic surgeon makes a few incisions on the lower half of the face and uses radiofrequency waves and lipo to suck out fatty tissue and pull in the skin.

She’s twenty-six.

Speaking of faces, Simon Cowell has announced that he’s officially done with Botox and fillers. He shared this vital information in an interview with The Sun where the sixty-two-year-old claims his face is filler free, and that his latest look is due to healthy eating, drinking lots of water, and losing weight.

Simon says he realized that his fillers made him “look like something out of a horror film.” Wait, I thought it was his personality that made him seem like a monster.

You be the judge. His face looks lopsided and like it’s slipping off his skull. But that’s just me …
