"Thriving"
Armie Hammer is a changed man… Nearly six months ago, the actor checked into a treatment facility for drug, alcohol and sex addiction issues. He's still there now, and according to TMZ, he's "thriving." Despite being at the Florida facility, the actor has been in constant contact with his kids and family, and he's continuously updating them on his progress. The webloid reports there is no timeline for when Armie will leave the treatment center. "He was in an incredibly dangerous place before treatment and doesn't want to backslide," TMZ notes, adding that Armie is "willing to do whatever it takes" to get better.

Scary-good romance
They say you can tell a lot about a person if you travel with them… Luckily, things between Ant Anstead and Renee Zellwegger are going scarily well. During a recent interview with "Entertainment Tonight," the "Celebrity IOU: Joyride" host revealed that he just went on a ghost tour with his lady love while they were visiting New Orleans. "I am fascinated by history. I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes down to it, so Renee and I did one of those ghost tours," he said. "Bear in mind I am from London, where there's very old history, but wow, pirates, voodoo, all of it." Ant is again back in New Orleans with Renee, who's currently filming a movie there. "She's a good traveler and she's been to that city before, so it's nice," he said.

Threatening her family
Now that she's nearly free of her conservatorship, Britney Spears has fears. "I'm afraid I'll make a mistake," she said in a candid Instagram post, while adding that she plans to post less on social media. Citing her 13-year conservatorship, the pop star said she's upset that she was essentially under her father's control for so long and she wishes she didn't live in a country where such a thing can happen. "I haven't done anything to be treated the way I have for the past 13 years!!!" she wrote. "I'm disgusted with the system and wish I lived in another country!!" In her lengthy post, Britney also fired off a warning shot at her family, with whom she's been at odds. "It's no secret that I've been through it in the past … so I might have to do things a little differently from now on!!!" she wrote. "Lord have mercy on my family's souls if I ever do an interview!!! In the meantime … I'm staying clear of the business which is all I've ever known my whole life … which is why this is so very confusing for me!!!"

Risque revelation
Jessica Chastain isn't afraid of showing off her birthday suit, but she wants things to be fair and equal. The actress opened up about her decision to doff clothes on HBO's "Scenes From a Marriage," saying she told the director she had just one rule: her co-star Oscar Isaac had to do the same. While on "The View," Jessica opened up about a conversation she had with writer-director Hagai Levi many months ago during which she told Hagai she was fine baring it all, though she insisted "any part of my body that you show, you're going to have to show the same with Oscar." On the second episode of the show, Jessica appears in the buff in the shower. "You see my body, so you see his body [too]," she said. Oscar, of course, sent fans into a tizzy when he went full frontal on an episode. "You're welcome, Twitter," he joked when the episode aired.

Social media honesty
Selena Gomez is letting the world in on a little secret: She's not the one behind her Instagram account. In fact, she doesn't have any social media on her phone. "I do all of my posts through texting my assistant and the caption that I want," Selena told WWD. "I say that because that's a huge, significant part of why I feel like I've been as healthy as I have been. I'm completely unaware of, actually, what's going on in pop culture, and that makes me really happy. And maybe that doesn't make everybody else happy, but for me, it's really saved my life." The singer-actress, who boasts 268 million Instagram followers, said social media began controlling her thoughts and feelings and that she just "snapped" three years ago. Selena was so anti-social media that she initially wanted to delete her account all together. Her team, however, convinced her to keep it. "I'm happy I didn't [delete my accounts], because it is such a wonderful way to stay connected," she said, "and when I do go on, it makes me happy to know that I'm just being completely honest and being true to who I am."

Concert fall
Vince Neil likely broke several ribs falling off the stage during a concert on Oct. 15. The former Mötley Crüe frontman was performing at a Tennessee music festival when he failed to notice a gap between the speaker and the stage. Vince, who was just a couple songs into his set, fell four feet onto the concrete floor and had to be helped up. He was then taken to a hospital via ambulance. TMZ reported that the rocker is in pain, but he's alert and expected to be okay.
Settlement talk
Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox have reached a settlement in their divorce, and a judge is likely to sign off on the agreement very, very soon. Brian and Megan did not have a prenuptial agreement in place, TMZ reports, so any assets acquired during their 10-year marriage will be split equally. The exes will also share joint legal and physical custody of their three sons. The report states that Megan will have her legal name restored to Megan Fox from her marital name: Megan Green. The duo had an up-and-down romance for more than a decade: They got engaged in 2006, called things off three years later, got re-engaged and tied the knot in 2010, briefly split 2015, reconciled and then split for good in late 2019. For what it's worth, both Megan and Brian have already moved on romantically.
