RadarOnline.com says Chris Hemsworth’s Hollywood success is allegedly straining his marriage to Elsa Pataky. A source reveals,  “Chris can’t resist the flattery and the massive checks he gets for his Hollywood work. But every time he takes one of those jobs, he has to turn his back on his family – sometimes for months at a time, if his kids are in school. Chris’ film projects veer toward the biggest, most ambitious blockbusters, which tend to shoot all over the world. Even though he’s openly stated he has to slow down and not miss out on his kids’ childhoods, he tends to say one thing and do another. Elsa is very supportive outwardly but really not pleased deep down. This has become a very real issue for them, and a lot of people worry it could be their undoing. They’ve clashed over this issue before, he promises to slow down, but it just doesn’t happen. His workload is as massive as ever, and there’s no sign he’s going to change. That’s got to be incredibly frustrating for Elsa.”

Life & Style Weekly says Jason Sudeikis is set to return to “Ted Lasso” for season 4 with a record-breaking salary of $3 million per episode.  A source tells the magazine, “Two years ago, Jason was telling everybody in his world that he was done with Ted Lasso, that he wanted to focus on being a dad and making movies, and that he got to end the story completely on his terms. Jason also saw that even six months after Lasso ended its run, it was still Apple’s most popular show and people were asking him about the character constantly. Jason is going to be TV’s highest paid actor when this show finally comes back on the air, and he should be taking home around $3 million per episode. This project was never about money for Jason, it was about proving himself as a writer and a star and about getting across this message of optimism and hope that has always been the center of the character.”
