Justin Theroux takes precautionary measures to avoid any unnecessary drama in his personal life. In an interview with Esquire published on Monday (May 1st), the White House Plumbers actor explained that you won't catch him talking to the press about his ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston.

"I want all of my relationships to exist within the four walls of whatever room we're in. And I'm not trying to be evasive, but I talk to Jen -- I don't talk about Jen," he told the outlet. Theroux and the Friends star began dating in 2011 and were married from 2015 to 2018. They have remained friends since going their separate ways.

These comments come shortly after Theroux and Aniston were seen having dinner together with Jason Bateman and his wife, Amanda Anka, in New York City.

"This is a queer western in the sense that there are two men, and they love each other, and they behave in that situation in an opposite way," Almodóvar said on a recent episode of the Dua Lipa: At Your Service podcast. "What I can tell you about the film is that it has a lot of the elements of the Western. It has the gunslinger. It has the ranch. It has the sheriff. But what it has that most Westerns don't have is the kind of dialogue that I don't think a Western film has ever captured between two men. And now I think I'm telling you too much."

"His gf has her phone, I'm obviously very worried about bam but I'm extremely worried about that there is an 8 yr old child w them. I can't even imagine the environment in that car right now.

And then, quite late in the pregnancy, my husband Brad and I discovered that this little fetus was not going to live," the Seinfeld star said. "So that was emotionally devastating, as you can imagine, but it got worse because I developed an infection that landed me in the hospital."

Following the "complete nightmare" that left her hospitalized for days, Dreyfus said she was "as they say, bedridden" when she returned home. "But my mom cooked. She made this incredible, cozy chili in a cast iron skillet, with cornbread on top in the pan. And she and my husband Brad set up a little card table at the foot of the bed. And the smell of that cornbread chili was so wonderful — it just filled the room and the whole house and my heart, really."

"They played this role of mentors to us, providing advice as we were making our decision to say 'I do' or 'I don't' on our wedding day. I also agree with the criticism, but I also think it's unfair as well with how much backlash she's getting. It feels like a dog pile."

Selena Gomez has picked up another Emmy nomination. This time, for her HBO Max cooking show called Selena + Chef in the category of Outstanding Culinary Series. Nominations were announced Tuesday (April 26). The singer-actress previously received a Primetime Emmy nod when Only Murders in the Building was up for best comedy series at last year's awards.

Seven-time Grammy award winning singer, actress, executive producer, and entrepreneur Toni Braxton has inked a new all-encompassing production deal with Lifetime and A&E. Specifics were not revealed, but she will oversee multiple projects. Lifetime and Braxton have had a long history of collaboration, including producing the movie, A Christmas Spark.
