No Margot, No Barbie? $50M+ Payday Could Sink Sequel
Barbie’s Dreamhouse is having a money meltdown.
Barbie 2 is reportedly in danger of getting Ken-celled as salary negotiations with Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling and the film’s creative team drag on.
Warner Bros. has reportedly rejected at least six proposed deals over three years, including one featuring “life-changing money.” Robbie, who reportedly pocketed around $50 million in salary and backend from the billion-dollar original, is expected to want an even bigger payday this time, while Gosling is allegedly seeking $20 million.
And the clock is ticking: Reports claim there are only about four months to lock everything down before Mattel regains the character rights, potentially killing the sequel.
Come on Barbie, let’s go party – if somebody can afford it.
Khloé's Mystery Hand Has Fans Asking: Who's That Man?
Khloé Kardashian’s love life may have just gotten a little hands-on.
Fans are convinced Khloé, 42, has a mystery man after eagle-eyed viewers spotted a tattooed hand wrapped around her waist in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it clip posted by sister Kim Kardashian.
“KHLOÉ’S NEW MAN? WHOS GOT HER GRABBED UP LIKE THAT?” one fan demanded, while another wrote, “She looks so happy! I wonder who she was with 👀.”
Internet detectives quickly theorized the hand could belong to Miley Chamley Watson, a friend of Kim’s rumored beau Lewis Hamilton. Others had just one request: “Please God, don’t let it be Tristan [Thompson].”
Khloé hasn’t confirmed a new romance – but one mystery hand just gave fans plenty to grab onto.
Chris Gets Hot & Heavy With New Partner Behind Bars
Chris Watts apparently found love behind bars – and he’s not keeping it PG.
The convicted family killer, 41, is reportedly planning a prison wedding with Lizzie Henderson, 39, who moved from Ohio to Wisconsin to be closer to him.
Henderson has visited Watts at least 20 times, and an eyewitness claims the pair were caught having a “s----- make-out session” – just one day after the seventh anniversary of his family’s murders.
She’s reportedly already using “Lizzie Watts,” filed to legally change her last name and has been spotted wearing wedding bands. The couple has also reportedly applied to marry.
Watts is serving five consecutive life sentences without parole for murdering pregnant wife Shanann and daughters Bella and Celeste. No parole, no problem – apparently romance still gets visiting hours.
Diddy Busted Out of 'The Hole' After Alleged Prison Brawl
Diddy is out of “the hole” – and back in the prison mix.
Sean “Diddy” Combs has reportedly been released from solitary confinement after an alleged fight with another inmate landed him in a special housing unit.
The disgraced music mogul was temporarily separated from the general prison population following the alleged jailhouse clash, adding another dose of drama to his life behind bars.
Now, Diddy has reportedly been returned to regular housing as he continues serving his sentence. The alleged altercation is just the latest headline to follow the rapper into prison, proving his legal saga hasn’t exactly quieted down since he got locked up.
Diddy may be out of “the hole” – but he’s still digging up drama.
Practical Magic 2 Poster Gets Roasted for 'AI' Look
Fans are already putting a hex on Practical Magic 2 – and it hasn’t even hit theaters yet.
The new poster for Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock’s witchy sequel is getting roasted online, with critics calling the heavily airbrushed artwork “cheap” and “low budget.”
“Thought it was fan-made with AI,” one fan cringed, while another declared, “This is one of the worst posters I’ve ever seen omg.”
The backlash didn’t stop there. Fans are also fuming that Joey King and Maisie Williams replaced the original actresses who played Sally’s daughters, with Evan Rachel Wood admitting she’s “sad” not to return.
The sequel hits theaters September 11… but apparently the poster could use a little more magic.
A-Rod's Big League Bulge Has Fans Going Wild
A-Rod’s latest ad is packing more than protein.
Alex Rodriguez, 51, tried promoting Tempo meals in a pair of skintight blue pants – but fans couldn’t take their eyes off his very noticeable “bulge.”
“He was just happy to see me!!” one person joked, while another hit a home run with, “Even in retirement, that guy still swings a big bat.” The thirst only escalated from there, with one fan even dragging ex Jennifer Lopez into the action: “Jlo got tired of this?”
A-Rod split from Jaclyn Cordeiro in May and was spotted kissing fitness trainer Meghan Hayden in July, with reports claiming the two are already living together.
He was trying to sell the meat – but everyone was checking out the package.
