Dakota Johnson says Jesse Eisenberg ignored her on 'The Social Network' set
Dakota Johnson recalls her interaction with Jesse Eisenberg on the set of 2010's "The Social Network" as … less than ideal. In a new interview for Vanity Fair with Andrew Garfield — who played Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin to Jesse's Mark Zuckerberg — Dakota says that while Andrew was engaging and friendly on-set, Jesse basically ignored her. "You and Jesse were so busy on that movie, and I was obviously in it for four seconds, but I spent a few days on set just watching," recalls Dakota, who had a minor role in the film. "I remember sitting down with you guys when you were having lunch one day, and you asked me loads of questions. You were really nice … and Jesse didn't acknowledge me," she continues. "He was probably in character," she adds. "Oh boy, I don't know. I feel like I need to defend him in some way," Andrew replies. "There was maybe some of the Zuckerberg coming through in that moment. He was probably overwhelmed by –" Before he can finish, Dakota chimes in. "By beauty!" she jokes. "By your beauty, yes," Andrew says, playing along. Jesse's rep took a major hit a few years after "The Social Network," when he was branded "rude" and irritable for his behavior during a 2013 interview with journalist Romina Puga. ("Cry after the interview is over," he said at one point in the clip, which quickly went viral.) Romina later wrote a blog post saying Jesse had "humiliated" her. He's since apologized.

Holly Madison reflects on 'cult-like' Playboy Mansion life: 'We were gaslit'
In a new trailer for the upcoming A&E series, "Secrets of Playboy," former "Girls Next Door" star Holly Madison says Hugh Hefner "gaslit" the women in his enclave at the famed Playboy Mansion. Now 42, Holly recalls in the clip how Hef kept a tight rein on multiple aspects of her life during their relationship, which began in 2001 and ended in 2008. (The Playboy magnate died in 2017.) "The reason I think the mansion was very cult-like looking back on it is because we were all kind of gaslit and expected to think of Hef as like this really good guy. And you started to feel like, 'Oh, he's not what they say in the media, he's just a nice man,'" she says in the teaser. At another point in the clip, Holly describes feeling "isolated from the outside world" at the Playboy Mansion. "You had a 9 o'clock curfew. You were encouraged to not have friends over. You weren't really allowed to leave unless it was like a family holiday," she says. Holly also recalls working as a waitress once a week as a backup plan, should the Playboy situation not "work out." Hef, however, wasn't into it, according to Holly. "He said it made him jealous, and he would appreciate it if I quit my job," she says. "So instead, we were given $1,000 a week as an allowance." The 10-part series, which features interviews with a variety of Hef's former girlfriends and employees, airs Jan. 24 on A&E.

Bob Saget's widow Kelly Rizzo opens up about her loss and his 'message' of love
In the wake of Bob Saget's unexpected death on Jan. 9, his widow, Kelly Rizzo, says she's just starting to feel "a sense of calm" for the first time since she lost her husband. "I think you get to a point where your body will just physically not let you cry anymore — or at least, all day," Kelly told Hoda Kotb in an interview that aired on "Today" on Jan. 20. "Still, every second is horrible, but you start to come to terms with it a little bit. So I think I'm possibly getting there," she said. "Or I'm just numb. I can't tell what it is right now." The food and travel blogger, 42, met Bob over Instagram before they started dating and eventually married in 2018. When Hoda mentioned Bob was known among friends as "an 'I love you'" kind of a guy, Kelly smiled. "He put it all out there," Kelly said, recalling how Bob would never shy away from telling those he cared about how he felt. "He told them that he loved them — he told them endlessly and tirelessly. That was his entire message." It's not surprising, then, that the couple's last conversation was "just all love," as Kelly put it. She said they'd spoken hours before he was supposed to have been on a plane headed home and she told him she couldn't wait to see him. "He valued every single second that we had together, that's why this is so heartbreaking," she explained, her voice breaking. "But at the same time, I know that we maximized every second and there was nothing left unsaid." Bob was laid to rest last week at a private ceremony attended by friends and family. He was 65.

Lisa Bonet and Jason Momoa 'drifted apart,' had different 'priorities' before split: Report
Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet's split came after the uber-pretty pair realized they'd "drifted apart and wanted different things" for their lives, a source recently told E! News. Coming out of a busy year of promoting "Dune," "Justice League" and other projects, Jason, 42, is already in pre-production for at least one new film, according to imdb, with two more, including the "Aquaman" sequel, due out later this year. "Jason is very focused on his career and wants to work. He has found success and it's driving him and is very fulfilling," the insider explained. "Lisa wants to be in L.A. and is not interested in going on location for long periods of time with him." While Jason's said to be prioritizing his career, Lisa's "priorities are different," with health and wellness occupying a top slot for the 54-year-old star, according to E!'s source, who adds that Jason "was moving in a different direction and it did not fit together with her lifestyle." The actors announced their separation on social media on Jan. 12 after 16 years as a couple. They share two kids — Lola, 14, and Nakoa-Wolf, 13 — and Jason reportedly remains close with Lisa's daughter Zoe Kravitz, as well as Zoe's dad, Lenny Kravitz. "[Zoe] loves them both but understands that it was time for them to move on," the source says.
Kristen Stewart and fiancee Dylan Meyer hit Disneyland with Ashley Benson
"Family trips to Disneyland!" That's how Ashley Benson captioned an adorable Instagram Stories post from her trip to the "happiest place on Earth" this week with engaged pals, Kristen Stewart and screenwriter Dylan Meyer. One pic from the group trip showed Ashley, K. Stew, Dylan and their friends wearing matching Walt Disney Pictures sweatshirts as they smile for the photo in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle, per People, while another shows the crew at Disneyland's Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge section on Jan. 19. The "Pretty Little Liars" and "Spencer" stars have reportedly been pals for a few years, as evidenced by the comments Ashley occasionally leaves on social media when Kristen and Dylan show up together in photos. Kristen confirmed she and Dylan are engaged in November during an interview with Howard Stern. "I wanted to be proposed to, so I think I very distinctly carved out what I wanted and she nailed it," Kristen said of the proposal. "It was really cute, she did very well. We're marrying, it's happening," she added.
Britney Spears and Sam Asghari enjoy a date night after ruling on surveillance allegations
Britney Spears took a breather from the ongoing drama with her family on Jan. 19 and stepped out for dinner in Los Angeles with her fiance, Sam Asghari. According to E! News, the couple enjoyed a private meal at Soho House in West Hollywood, where a source said she "looked very relieved and happy" to be seated after wearing dark shades on her way inside, seemingly hoping not to attract attention. "It seemed like she was very excited to be out and was smiling a lot," said the insider who spotted them. "Britney looked really happy with Sam and he was making her laugh a lot." At some point during their dinner, the couple posed for a photo on a couch. "The world is ours baby," Sam wrote alongside the pic when he later shared it. Britney's been feuding publicly with her sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, over the release of Jamie Lynn's new memoir, "Things I Should Have Said," the subject of a cease-and-desist letter Britney's lawyer reportedly sent. Despite Brit's ongoing issues with her relatives, she continues to gain more independence since her 13-year-long conservatorship ended in November. This week, the judge overseeing her case ruled Britney does not have to set aside money to cover the legal fees her father, Jamie Spears, wants her estate to pay, since she now controls her own finances. The judge also ordered a "mini-trial" on allegations Jamie secretly surveilled his daughter's communication for years, according to Deadline.
Chrissy Teigen celebrates six months of sobriety
Chrissy Teigen has half a year of sobriety under her belt. The "Cravings" author celebrated her milestone on Instagram on Jan. 19, sharing her thoughts on what's changed — and what hasn't –since she stopped drinking. "6 months no alcohol! Honestly kind of sucks saying it because even though I don't ever crave it now, time has not exactly flown by haha," she wrote. "I prob won't be excited til a larger milestone like at leasssst 5 years, and sometimes I don't even know if I necessarily won't ever drink again?" she continued. "I have no idea what I'm doing honestly, but I do know a few things: I now have endless energy, way less anxiety (no more benzos!) and I am happier and more present than ever. It's pretty cool. I look forward to having my full body reset after 1 year, then reevaluating to see my new hopes and wishes for the future! Let's goooo." The post got lots of love and support from Chrissy's friends, famous and otherwise, some of whom said they were in a similar place with their own sobriety. Others, like Octavia Spencer, simply chimed in with words of encouragement. "You hit a rough spot in the road and changed your tires. Now you're enjoying the ride," Octavia wrote. "That's something to celebrate. ❤️." Chrissy, 36, quit drinking in 2017, but later admitted it didn't stick. She started again in December 2020, but has said she had "hiccups" prior to six months ago — around the same time she was coming to terms with the fallout from a cyberbullying scandal.
Kourtney Kardashian shares a sneak peek of new Hulu show
Hulu has yet to announce a premiere date for its new series, "The Kardashians" — or, frankly, much else about the forthcoming show. But Kourtney Kardashian dropped a small hint this week about what viewers can expect to see when her family returns to the world of reality television later this year. On Jan. 20, Kourt shared a photo of her laptop screen on her Instagram Stories. The screen clearly featured the words "TEMP PROPERTY OF HULU," as well as a somewhat fuzzy image of a beach. A figure in a black jacket could be seen in the shot, too, along with a tattooed hand. Kourt tagged the IG account for the new show and tossed an eyes emoji on top, just in case there was any confusion about whether the post was meant to be a sneak peek. It wasn't long before fans on Reddit started reposting the shot, along with the results of their detective work. "Yooo this is definitely a scene from the engagement!!!" one person wrote (via The Sun). Others chimed in to agree that Kourtney was watching a clip from the new series that featured the moment Travis Barker proposed to her on a beach in Montecito, California, in October. As of Jan. 20, Hulu's only said "The Kardashians" will premiere sometime in 2022. The family's massively successful "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" came to an end last year after 20 seasons.
