Naomi Watts Seeks To 'Conquer The Stigma' Around Menopause

Naomi Watts took to Instagram on Wednesday (June 8th) to address aging and the stigma around menopause.

"Does the word menopause freak you out?" she wrote alongside a selfie. "It did me… But, why? It's just a natural phase of life and something half the population will be directly affected by and the other half will feel indirectly (so please stick around … even the dudes!)."

The I Heart Huckabees star shared that she struggled to find answers about menopause in her late 30s, right when she was "finally ready" to have a family. "How could I figure this out when no one was talking? I was earlier to it than my peers," she said.

"Let's conquer the stigma and address the secrecy and shame we've felt and help create a healthier foundation for future generations. Getting older is a privilege and a time for us to feel proud of our cumulative experiences — to feel empowered, unapologetically so," Watts added.

The King Kong star seems to have more up her sleeve regarding this issue, as she wrapped up her post with, "I'm working on something I feel super proud of. I hope you follow along as I share more in the coming weeks."

Procter & Gamble Blames Amy Schumer For Tampon Shortage

Apparently, there's a national tampon shortage—and Procter & Gamble is blaming comedian Amy Schumer. The 2022 Oscars host appeared in commercials for Tampax in 2020, and a spokesperson for the company told Time Magazine recently that "retail sales growth has exploded," ever since.

Tampax boxes are flying off the shelves and demand has gone up by 7.7%. The spokesperson also said, "Amazon sellers are taking advantage of the shortage."

In January, one box of 18 tampons was "listed for $114, about $6 more more — per tampon — than women usually pay."

Many are skeptical that this is due to Schumer appearing in the advertisements, especially since Playtex tampons are also in short supply.

A spokesperson for Amber Heard responded to Depp's message about moving forward: "As Johnny Depp says he's 'moving forward,' women's rights are moving backward. The verdict's message to victims of domestic violence is ... be afraid to stand up and speak out."

Matthew McConaughey is on a mission to change gun laws. The Oscar-winner was born in Uvalde, Texas, where the Robb Elementary School shooting took place. He has been on the ground trying to effect change since the tragedy took place.

On Tuesday (June 7th), McConaughey stood at the press briefing podium and held up a drawing by Alithia Ramirez, one of the victims who was just 10 years old. He shared that she dreamed of going to art school in Paris.

McConaughey later fought back tears as his wife, Camila Alves, held up a pair of green Converse sneakers that belonged to Maite Rodriguez, another one of the victims. The shoes were the "only clear evidence that could identify her," he said, slamming the podium.

"Can both sides see beyond the political problem at hand and admit that we have a life preservation problem on our hands?" McConaughey pleaded.

The Last Holiday actress wasn't happy to hear that comment. "I was mad at that. It pissed me off. I was like, 'What? Me?' I mean, I'm just thick. She said you are 30% over where you should be. And I'm like, 'Obesity?'"

Latifah and Jada Pinkett-Smith later discussed how the Body Mass Index is problematic, as it's based on the body of a white European man in the mid-19th century. The formula does not account for a person's ethnicity, gender, or body composition.

Matthew McConaughey Calls For 'Gun Responsibility' In New Op-Ed

On Monday (June 6th), The Austin American-Statesman published an op-ed by Matthew McConaughey on gun laws, following the tragic mass shooting at Robb Elementary School. McConaughey was born in Uvalde, Texas, where the shooting took place.

"I believe that responsible, law-abiding Americans have a Second Amendment right, enshrined by our founders, to bear arms. I also believe we have a cultural obligation to take steps toward slowing down the senseless killing of our children. The debate about gun control has delivered nothing but status quo. It's time we talk about gun responsibility," he wrote.

The Dallas Buyers Club actor continued, "There is no constitutional barrier to gun responsibility. Keeping firearms out of the hands of dangerous people is not only the responsible thing to do, it is the best way to protect the Second Amendment. We can do both."

McConaughey suggests requiring background checks for all gun sales, raising the age to buy an assault rifle to 21 unless the person is in the military, and establishing a waiting period for the purchase of assault rifles.

Brad Pitt Accuses Angelina Jolie Of Intentionally Inflicting 'Harm' On Him By Selling Wine Shares

The legal drama between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie continues. In his latest court filings, Pitt claims Jolie "sought to inflict harm on" him by selling her interests in the former couple's wine company.

Pitt and Jolie bought a controlling stake in the vineyard and home Château Miraval, located in the south of France, in 2008. They later got married at the vineyard in 2014.

Pitt's recent court documents say Jolie contributed "nothing to Miraval's success" and that she "pursued and then consummated the purported sale in secret, purposely keeping Pitt in the dark, and knowingly violating Pitt's contractual rights."

According to the filings, the buyer of Jolie's shares, Yuri Shefler, is "bent on taking control of Miraval" and uses "cutthroat business tactics and dubious professional associations," which "jeopardizes the reputation of the brand Pitt so carefully built."

Pitt's team added, "Jolie has sought to force Pitt into partnership with a stranger, and worse yet, a stranger with poisonous associations and intentions."

She continued, "We knew that this was going to be an uphill battle and that the cards were stacked against us. But you stood up and spoke out regardless. I am so honored to testify for you, and I would do it a million times over because I know what I saw and because the truth is forever on your side."

Henriquez added, "I'm so sorry that it wasn't reflected in the decision made by this jury, but I will never give up on you, and neither will anyone who stands with you. Forever by your side… #istandwithamberheard."

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex kept a low-profile during Thursday’s (June 2nd) Trooping the Colour ceremony, but they arrived in front of a cheering crowd for Friday’s (June 3rd) National Service of Thanksgiving at St. Paul’s Cathedral.

Page Six reports that the Queen met Harry and Markle’s daughter, Lilibet, for the first time during the trip as well. “Lili is named after her great-grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen, whose family nickname is Lilibet,” Harry and Markle said in a statement in 2020.

Margaret Cho Comments On Bisexual Invisibility

This Pride Month, Margaret Cho shared her thoughts on “bi invisibility” in a recent interview PopSugar. "We still have a lot of bi invisibility within the queer community, and a lot of bi discrimination, as well. And bi invisibility is, it's hard to sort of negotiate," she told the publication.

Cho continued, "Whatever decision you make in terms of relationship is somehow wrong. If you are with somebody of your own gender, that means, oh, you are gay. You were just closeted by pretending to be bi. Or, if you go with somebody from a different gender, oh, you're straight. You were just pretending to be gay for pay."

"I don't know anybody who's gay for pay," she said, laughing. "It doesn't pay enough to be gay."

Cho added, "But it's a very funny thing how bi-ness is really negated, no matter where you turn. . . . We're sort of gaslit by every community, and trying to figure that out, it's very hard."

The All American Girl actress also shared that she asked Joel Kim Booster for a role in Fire Island. "So, I was trying to get a cameo on the movie, and they couldn't figure out a cameo role, but they had this role available that was for a man, Aaron." Lo and behold, Aaron became Erin.

Vivica A. Fox Criticizes Jada Pinkett Smith For Her Response To Oscars Slap

Vivica A. Fox isn’t happy with the way Jada Pinkett Smith addressed Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the 94th annual Academy Awards. On a recent episode of The Wendy Williams Show, Fox said that Jada took “no accountability” when she commented on the incident during an episode of Red Table Talk.

"This is going to be difficult for me. These are my peers. I've done a movie with both of them. Set It Off with Jada and Independence Day with Will Smith, which absolutely changed my life. When I saw this video last night, it made me cry, I'll be very honest with you guys," Fox said, tearing up.

She continued, "I really felt to be a partner to Will Smith whose career basically took a crumble that night … We were all rooting for Will Smith that night — Oscar night — we wanted him to win. Will Smith that night as far as I was concerned was going to be crowned this generation's Sidney Poitier, which is a huge honor."

“Will Smith was defending her honor, that's the reason he walked on stage and slapped because he felt like his wife had been offended so for me to see no accountability as a partner,” she said.

The Two Can Play That Game star added, "I have love for the Smiths. I know their children. I've watched them grow up. I just wish we could have just a little more accountability and for it to not seem so self-righteous on Jada's part and that's my feelings."
