Dolly Parton’s flirtatious nature has been a part of her public image for years. She has an easy rapport with interviewers and talks openly about her celebrity crushes. According to Parton, though, men did not approach her all that often. Her guitarist said that when they did, she seemed irritated.
Dolly Parton didn’t like it when men got too flirtatious with her
Parton is beautiful, friendly, and magnetic. She connects well with many people and enjoys flirting, but she never liked it much when men were overly suggestive with her.
“I’ve never seen a man get physical with her, but I’ve seen men get very suggestive after one too many drinks,” her guitarist Tom Rutledge said in the book Dolly by Alanna Nash. “I know it really, really tees her off, but you’d never know it until afterwards, when she says, ‘That son of a...

Emily Blunt was last seen in the action comedy The Fall Guy, in which she starred opposite Ryan Gosling. The film satirically depicted many of the behind-the-scenes incidents that occur on the sets of large-scale blockbuster films of the present day. Blunt played the role of a director who was helming an epic sci-fi fantasy in the film.
Though diverse, Blunt’s filmography is lacking in the superhero genre. While the actress has been in musicals and adventure films, she has yet to don a costume, which she revealed in a recent interview that she wears as a badge of honor. However, Blunt was almost cast as Black Widow in Iron Man 2 and had to give up on the opportunity due to contractual obligations.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is something Ryan Gosling would love to be a part of, even though he has not starred in any superhero flicks yet. Not only that, but he already knows the character he would most like to play.
The 43-year-old star of Barbie and The Fall Guy recently expressed his staunch interest in playing Johnny Blaze in a future Ghost Rider project, a role played by Nicolas Cage in MCU flicks. Having said that, during a chat with Happy Sad Confused’s Josh Horowitz, Gosling dropped the bombshell that he would be more than willing to don the fiery chains of the iconic anti-hero.

Nikki Glaser said during a recent interview on “Today With Hoda & Jenna” that it’s clear Tom Brady “maybe didn’t consider the backlash from his family and how it would affect them” when he signed up to get roasted in a Netflix live comedy event. Brady has admitted as much, saying on “The Pivot Podcast” that he probably would not do another roast because of how the jokes affected his children. Glaser was widely considered one of the best comedians to roast Brady during the event.
“I also think Tom Brady does not do anything without doing his research and knowing exactly what he’s getting into,” Glaser said, debating with herself over how much Brady knew what he was getting into.
“It’s impossible to me that he didn’t consider what could have happened because there’s roast footage out there that you can watch and go,...

Howard Stern said this week he quickly accepted Jerry Seinfeld’s apology for saying Stern has been “outflanked” by other comedians.
“I read it, and I went to my wife, ‘Oh, that’s weird,’ because Jerry is a personal friend of ours,” Stern said on Monday’s The Howard Stern Show on SiriusXM.
Last week, Seinfeld made headlines for saying on the Fly on the Wall podcast that Stern, a self-proclaimed “king of all media,” had been “outflanked” by other comedy podcasts. He also said that hosts Dana Carvey and David Spade “are better than him now.” The Unfrosted director later apologized for the comments, saying “I feel really bad for what I said.”
On Monday, Stern said he first learned of the comments when he saw a headline that said Seinfeld alleged Stern was an interviewer, not a comedian.

Turns out Jeff Ross likely knew there might be friction if he told that Robert Kraft joke during Netflix’s live The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady.
Comedian Andrew Schulz, who also participated in the event, says they were all warned away from the subject of the 2019 incident where the Patriots owner was accused of soliciting prostitution at a massage parlor in Florida.
“When Tom checked Jeff Ross, I think that was 100 percent real,” offered Schulz in a new interview. “The reason why I think it’s real is because they told us, ‘No jokes about happy endings with Bob Kraft.’ “
Ross, it seems, went for it anyway.
“So Tom became a Patriot and moved up to New England, and on the first day of training camp, that scrawny rookie famously walked into the owner Robert Kraft’s office and said, ‘I’m the best decision your organization has ever made.

During a recent appearance on the Howard Stern Show, actress Kate Hudson made a stunning revelation, claiming she could see dead people. Hudson opened up about her paranormal connection after being asked about the longstanding rumors that she and her famous mom, Goldie Hawn, have psychic abilities while visiting The Howard Stern Show on Tuesday, May 7.
Kate Hudson confessed she could talk to dead people when she was younger, but the link has supposedly faded over the years.

“The rest of the roast I got called some pretty awful things,” she said. “It makes you question your life and your looks and all that stuff.” “Does it, though? Does it really?” Jimmy Kimmel asked, to which she responded, “It does sink in.”

The Lord of the Rings trilogy is one of the most celebrated works of fantasy and has been regarded as one of the greatest films ever. Director Peter Jackson spent years bringing to life a novel series that was considered to be unadaptable. The final film of the trilogy The Return of the King won eleven awards at the Oscars, including Best Picture.
Many actors in the fantasy trilogy have gone on to become stars. While lead actors such as Elijah Wood and Viggo Mortensen became synonymous with their roles as Frodo and Aragorn, other actors such as Orlando Bloom, Liv Tyler, and Andy Serkis saw new levels of stardom. Bloom, who would go on to star in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise reportedly received a very low salary for playing the role of Legolas in the trilogy.

Nikki Glaser is giving her take on the viral moment between Tom Brady and Jeff Ross during The Greatest Roast of All Time.
As the roast kicked off on Netflix, Ross mentioned an incident involving Patriots owner Robert Kraft that triggered Brady to get off his seat and tell the “Roastmaster General” not to “say that sh** again.”
Glaser, one of the featured comedians, is now sounding off on that confrontation.
“I believe that was for real,” Glaser said on The Howard Stern Show. “Robert Kraft was not a confirmed guest to be there. I didn’t know he was going to be there until I was there.

Emily Blunt got candid during a recent appearance on “The Howard Stern Show” (via People) about how she’s had to fake chemistry over the years with certain co-stars she just struggled to connect with on set. Blunt has acted opposite many high-profile leading men throughout her career, from Matt Damon (“The Adjustment Bureau”) to Tom Cruise (“Edge of Tomorrow”), Dwayne Johnson (“Jungle Cruise”), Ryan Gosling (“The Fall Guy”) and Cillian Murphy (“Oppenheimer”).
“Have you wanted to throw up?” Stern asked Blunt about kissing some of her male co-stars during filming. The Oscar-nominated actor responded: “Absolutely. Absolutely.”
“I wouldn’t say it’s sort of extreme loathing, but I’ve definitely not enjoyed some of it,” Blunt added.
Blunt declined to name any co-star she couldn’t generate chemistry with, but she did say: “I have had chemistry with people who… I have not had a good time working with them.

While Rey comes in contact with the lightsaber through Maz Kanata, how the latter got hold of it in the first place was never explained. Furthermore, a deleted scene that featured in the trailer but not in the final cut would have only added to the confusion behind it. Director J.J.

Pearl Jam appeared The Howard Stern Show this week, where they not only shared fascinating stories — like how drummer Matt Cameron once got a cease-and-desist letter from Kiss — but also performed a number of songs, including tracks from their new album Dark Matter and older hits like “Daughter” and “Yellow Ledbetter.”
The appearance was in support of the band’s 12th LP, Dark Matter, which debuted last week on April 19th and has earned praise from many, including Stem himself, who called it “a phenomenal fucking album.” When asked to perform a track from the record, Pearl Jam chose the opener, “Scared of Fear,” delivering the song’s heavy feel with uproarious energy.

Variety reports that Maher’s Club Random Studios has signed “Friend in High Places,” a new podcast hosted by comedian Matt Friend, with a launch planned later this spring.

Prior to carving out his own legendary career as drummer of both Soundgarden and Pearl Jam, a teenage Matt Cameron played in a Kiss cover band. Unfortunately, paying musical tribute to his rock heroes led to a cease-and-desist letter from the iconic band itself.
Cameron and the rest of Pearl Jam were recent guests on The Howard Stern Show, promoting their new album, Dark Matter. During the visit, the drummer shared his Kiss story, which also involved meeting Paul Stanley.

“I was in a neighborhood Kiss cover band when I was 13/14, something like that,” began Cameron. “We played local high schools, keggers, what not. And my dad was friends with the head of the stagehand union in San Diego, so when Kiss was playing there … during the ‘Alive’ tour, that was ’75, we got to go see Kiss do a soundcheck at the San Diego Sports Arena.

For many actors, using grief to their advantage on screen is a well-trod path; however, pretending to be grieving is a whole other story. Method acting has long been seen as a demanding and occasionally contentious way of producing real performances on screen. However, revelations about Aaron Eckhart’s extreme methods to get into character for his role in 2010’s Rabbit Hole have caused a few to gasp and sparked a fresh discussion about the limits of method acting.
The actor attended a support group for parents who had lost their child and even staged his own child’s death in order to prepare for his role. Well, in the past, we’ve heard stories of actors going to great lengths to immerse themselves in their roles, from drastic weight loss to being cut off from the outside world.
But Jared Leto’s tale was nothing short of a nightmare.

Considering how many serious injuries the Jackass cast members have suffered over the years, one would think that even before Jackass Forever, they had reached the limit of their willingness to pull off dangerous stunts. Jackass Forever is the fourth movie in Jeff Tremaine’s reality comedy film series, which came after Jackass 3D (2010).
However, the filming process was interrupted by some of the ludicrous, and risky stunts that resulted in injuries to the main character of the franchise. Indeed, Johnny Knoxville earlier talked about the major bull stunt that caused him to suffer brain damage and has revealed whether or not he regrets being a part of such a risky act.

It’s difficult to imagine James Cameron’s The Terminator (1984) with an actor in the lead other than Arnold Schwarzenegger. The star propelled the franchise to fame, and it also cemented his legacy in Hollywood, but he was surprisingly not the studio’s first choice for the role.

Cameron knew exactly what he was looking for when he cast Schwarzenegger. Consequently, the director immediately refused the idea of having former NFL star Oj Simpson involved in the movie.
James Cameron Clarified Mystery Behind Oj Simpson’s Involvement In The Terminator
In an interview with Independent, former professional bodybuilder and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger shared he was not the first person in mind when James Cameron was prepping for The Terminator.
“It was actually Oj Simpson that was the first cast Terminator. Then somehow [James Cameron] felt that he was not as believable for a killing machine. So then they hired me.

If one thinks of pop music and its influence in the world, it is difficult to look past an artist like Madonna. In many ways, the iconic singer was a pioneer in the genre and is associated with some of the most evergreen songs that have become cult classics over the years. In addition to her charismatic personality, Madonna has also had a colorful personal life when it comes to her various romances.
Madonna in her hit single Vogue
The Vogue crooner has been married to A-list Hollywood celebrities like Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie, and has also been involved in a short relationship with Warren Beatty with whom she co-starred with in Dick Tracy. While the pop star was pretty open and candid when talking about Beatty in The Howard Stern Show, she refrained from getting too personal when pushed to comment on her s*x life with the actor.

While living with Sean “Diddy” Combs, R&b pop star Usher said that he “went there to see the lifestyle — and I saw it.”
After raids on Combs’ homes earlier this month, an interview from 2016 with Usher and Howard Stern on The Howard Stern Show has resurfaced.
In the interview, Usher speaks on the year that he spent living with Combs. He was 13 years old at the time.
Combs was the founder of Bad Boys Records and there have been claims of “very curious things” had happened at his L.A. and Miami residences over the years.
On March 25, law enforcement including Homeland Security and federal agents raided his homes after two lawsuits against him made sex-trafficking allegations.
In 2016, Usher commented on his time with Diddy saying it was “pretty crazy” and that he didn’t, “know if I could indulge and understand what I was even looking at. It was pretty wild.

Jake Gyllenhaal was one of the top contenders to play Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins, and although the role went to Christian Bale, director Christopher Nolan called Gyllenhaal personally to tell him he didn’t get the role.
“To [Nolan’s] credit and to Baz [Luhrmann’s] credit, both of those directors called me personally to tell me [I didn’t get the role],” Jake Gyllenhaal said on The Howard Stern Show. “And they will tell you why. When you get that far, there’s a real legitimacy to you potentially getting something. It’s not like they’re going, ‘Oh, thanks so much.’ They are going, ‘I saw these aspects of you that I really wanted in the role and are wonderful, but in the end I ended up moving this way because it matches better with this person who is opposite you or would be opposite you.

Remember Baz Luhrmann’s early 2000 film about romance and music in Paris? Yes, we are referring to the 2001 release of the jukebox musical Moulin Rouge!, which film critic Roger Ebert once likened to “being trapped on an elevator with the circus”.
In the 2001 flick, we saw English writer Christian (Ewan McGregor) pen his love story on his typewriter as he mourned the loss of his beloved Satine (Nicole Kidman). You may not be aware, though, that multiple actors tried out for the role of Christian but were not selected. Among them were Leonardo DiCaprio, Heath Ledger, and Jake Gyllenhaal; Ethan Hawke was also considered for the part.

It’s no secret that Jake Gyllenhaal’s Oscar snub for his performance in 2014’s Nightcrawler was considered by many as an atrocious crime, but the fact that the actor has only received one nomination for Best Supporting Actor in 2005’s Brokeback Mountain is even more appalling.

No one, indeed, has any explanation for why the Oscars so actively avoids Gyllenhaal and his incredible body of works. He is one of the most prolific stars of this generation, yet he is still in the league of the most snubbed actors of all time.

The world of Nightcrawler is found in Los Angeles at night, where stringers go out to film accidents and crime scenes and sell them to the local news. Jake Gyllenhaal’s character, Louis Bloom, becomes the symbol that draws the line between unethical journalism and consumer demand.

Anne Hathaway won an Oscar. Then her career took a turn for the worse.
The actress says in a new profile that co-hosting the 2013 Oscars and taking home the honor for best supporting actress for Les Misérables marked a tipping point where her online and media reputation turned “toxic” — to the point where she says it cost her movie roles.
The viral phenomenon dubbed “Hathahate” had no actual cause, other than the actress enjoying a surge in exposure and popularity that got her dubbed “annoying” by some, taking her from It Girl to Not-It Girl thanks to some online backlash.
After winning the Oscar, Hathaway told Vanity Fair, “a lot of people wouldn’t give me roles, because they were so concerned about how toxic my identity had become online.”
Then director Christopher Nolan came along, casting her in his blockbuster film Interstellar (2014).
