Netflix held its upfront presentation yesterday, and the big news was probably the announcement of “Grown Ups 3”.  Netflix also announced a reality show about Nick Cannon navigating life as the father of 12 kids by six different mothers.  It’s coming next winter. The synopsis says, quote, “From million-dollar meetings to midnight diaper runs, think Kardashian-level glam meets relatable, messy modern parenting.  This is fatherhood, fame, and family.” Then there’s Will Ferrell’s new golf comedy, “The Hawk”, which drops on July 16.  Netflix premiered the first trailer yesterday.

This is a really weird and tumultuous time in human history, and people are looking for ways to ground themselves and get through it. Ashley Judd had an interesting idea:  For her 58th birthday, she threw herself a 12th birthday party. Ashley posted a carousel of pictures and video showing how her inner 12-year-old celebrated:  Singing, square dancing, reading affirmations, and lip-synching Hall & Oates into a hairbrush.  (This was 1979 after all.) Interestingly, Ashley doesn’t remember ANY of her childhood birthdays, but she vividly remembers that time in her life.  And she saw this party as a chance to reclaim what was missing back then. Quote, “[At home] there was no parent (or adult) supporting, nurturing, guiding and reinforcing my learning, delighting in, or protecting that little girl.”

As Stephen Colbert prepares for his final show next Thursday, we’re learning little things along the way.  Like, which guest distracted him the most with his or her beauty? Stephen said, quote, “I’ll tell you who I did not expect to be wildly attracted to.  Like, I didn’t know what to do with myself.  I did not know what to do with my eyeballs when Michelle Williams was on for the first time. He also had similar reactions to Rachel Weisz, Rebecca Ferguson, and . . . Andrew Garfield.

Zach Top thinks sobriety has turned into a fad lately, and people post about it to receive attention from others online. On comedian Bert Kreischer’s podcast, “Bertcast”, Zach says, quote, “Keep yourself healthy enough that you can drink all your life . . . Just be a normal guy and drink a normal amount.  You can do it your whole life.  You’re fine.

Reba McEntire says her wedding to Rex Linn will be low-key at their ranch in Tennessee.  They don’t have a date set, but the ceremony will include one important part of their lives:  their animals. Quote, “We’re going to have to have dogs there. I have two granddogs, Watson and Belle, so they may be the ring bearers or something like that. “But we have to have our animals in there. We’ve got longhorns and donkeys, horses and everything there at the place, cats. We have a lot of fun with them.”

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon got sued by the real-life Miami-Dade police officers who inspired their movie, “The Rip”.  If you haven’t seen it, it’s about the true story of a 2016 Miami Lakes narcotics raid, which became the largest money seizure in Miami-Dade history with more than $24 million in cash.  The real-life officers say the movie has unfairly damaged their reputation by portraying them negatively.  One officer says, quote, “When you rip something, you’re stealing something.  We never stole a dollar.” His attorney adds, quote, “My clients are now hurt for the rest of their lives with everybody [perceiving] that they’re dirty.”

Naughty But Nice says there is interest in ‘’The Devil Wears Prada 3’’. Studio chiefs want to move fast.  Anne Hathaway is allegedly holding back.  Insiders say Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt want to return.  A source says, “This isn’t about money for Anne. She’s incredibly protective of her career and very aware of how quickly audiences can turn when they feel someone is overexposed. That experience left a lasting mark on her. She remembers exactly what it felt like when the public suddenly decided they’d had enough. She never wants to go through that again. Anne keeps asking the same question: ‘Why does this story need to exist now?’ If nobody can answer that creatively, she’s not interested.”

TMSPN says Pats coach Mike Vrabel and his wife Jen are allegedly in counseling after weeks of public scrutiny tied to his affair with former NFL reporter Dianna Russini. The process is described as ongoing and not a quick fix.  Jen is not walking away from the marriage, at least for now.  A source says, “One of the most difficult consequences for Dianna Russini has been the loss of her relationship with Mike Vrabel, whom she reportedly loved. Her husband has felt sidelined for a long time, and this controversy might be what finally pushes things to a breaking point. At the same time, he’s dealing with the embarrassment, still cares about her, and would want to find some way to fix things if he can. The emasculation has taken a toll, though.”

Naughty But Nice says everyone is fighting to get a picture of Taylor Swift’s wedding gown. A source says, “Everyone is desperate for that first image. Fashion magazines, photographers, designers — the competition behind the scenes is intense. Even people close to Taylor don’t know which gown she’ll ultimately choose. She wants the moment to feel cinematic — a true jaw-dropping reveal. This wedding is being handled like a major Hollywood production. And Taylor is personally overseeing every single detail.”

RadarOnline.com says Tiger Woods is allegedly stepping back from his romance with Vanessa Trump to focus on himself. A source says, “Tiger is doing a ton of self-reflection, and it’s become very apparent that his whole life needs to change from here on out. He loves Vanessa deeply. In fact, before the accident, he was following her around like a puppy dog and ready to propose to her. He’s incredibly grateful that she’s sticking by him during this nightmare, but now the thinking is that he’ll want to pare things down and pump the brakes” once he gets out of rehab.”

They were like, ‘At 4:30AM we need you to go to the Cracker Barrel and get some biscuits.’”

Chris Janson was doing a recent interview with CountryNow.com when he said Guns N’ Roses helped him write the first song he ever wrote. “They helped me write a song called ‘Shoot Off The Locks.’ I started my songwriting career out with the rock and roll world, like the cream of the crop of the rock and roll world and they helped me write that song. Was it good? I’ll let history decide that.”

They met on the set of their romantic comedy.  A source tells the newspaper, “It was an open secret during filming about Brett and J-Lo – they got on like a house on fire from the start, and the chemistry was electric, which viewers will see. They were very touchy, feely, and always laughing, and everyone suspected they were hooking up. During the wrap party, they were all over each other during the dinner and drinks with the rest of the cast. They had a lot of fun while shooting; it was just what Jen needed after Ben Affleck. He put a smile on her face. There were quite a few jokes about Brett just being the British version of Ben. She was definitely a fan of his British charm and really felt looked after on set.”

The National Enquirer says Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is allegedly plotting a comeback for when he gets out of prison. The plan calls for a Redemption Tour and a possible duo with Usher.  A source says, “People are already floating it behind the scenes. A redemption tour, big emotions, big money — the industry loves this kind of drama. Usher is cautious. He respects what they had, but he’s not risking his reputation for anyone. The concept is still just talk, but industry folks note that talk can turn into tickets — fast. “It would be huge — and hugely divisive. Redemption to some. Outrage to others.”

Page Six says a new “Godfather” novel is coming in 2027. It has been authorized by Mario Puzo’s estate and will be the first time a “Godfather” story has been written by a woman. The book will center around Connie Corleone, who was famously played by Talia Shire in the films. Author Adriana Trigiani says, “Connie is a novel about how a woman works to forge her own way in a world that’s already decided who she is, what she’s about, and how she should be treated. People underestimated Don Vito Corleone and Michael Corleone at their peril. The same will be true for Connie Corleone.”
