Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly recently celebrated their first anniversary and, on Wednesday, provided a candid glimpse into their relationship when taking the GQ “Couple’s Quiz.”

True to form, their answers were a mix of sweet, spicy and pure chaos.

Their interview starts off with the two telling the story of how they first met — which was at a GQ party — where Megan’s first words to MGK were “You smell like weed.”

“And I said,” Kelly smirked, “‘I am weed.'” Apparently, he vanished right after that bizarre first exchange.

Megan then grilled the “my ex’s best friend” singer over how well he knows her in a series of rapid-fire questions.  

MGK knows that his lover has “being abducted by a UFO” on her bucket list, that loud chewing is her “pet peeve,” her favorite book AND movie is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and that her hidden talent is being “an almanac and an encyclopedia and a dictionary all in one.”

MGK’s most hilarious fail came when he forgot Megan played April O’Neil in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  In all, he answered 28.5 out of 31 questions correctly. 

When the roles were reversed, Megan correctly answered 29 questions.  She revealed MGK prefers his coffee “black and bitter” — but that she makes his morning brew with oat milk and sugar “to sweeten you up” — and that he’s a secret fan of Nicole Kidman and is invested in Nine Perfect Strangers and The Undoing.

The Jennifer’s Body star also ratted out her boyfriend’s work/life balance by calling him out for rarely taking any days off and also said his favorite place is “Travis [Barker]’s studio.”

But, when it came to teasing her boyfriend’s upcoming sixth studio album Born with Horns, she agreed it is “very good.”

It’s been about nine years since Grey’s Anatomy fans have seen Dr. Addison Montgomery and, on Thursday, that dry spell finally ends.

Kate Walsh, who plays the self-assured surgeon, will make her grand return to Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital in the episode titled “Hotter Than Hell.”

Series star Ellen Pompeo, who plays Dr. Meredith Grey, spoke with Entertainment Tonight and teased what brought Addison back to Seattle and what that possibly means for Meredith because the two share a rather complicated history together.

“We are doing a surgery together,” said Pompeo. “Addison Montgomery is presented with a super challenging surgery and she needs some help. So she says, ‘Please get me Meredith Grey,’ and then I come in and we do this surgery together.”

Pompeo also hinted that Addison’s upcoming arc will span at least three episodes, but refused to provide further details.

“Kate and I had a great time working together. I haven’t really seen her in a really long time because of the pandemic,” the actress shared.  “And she moved [to] Australia and so it was really, really nice to see her and it was really fun to get to work with her.”

Addison first appeared in the show’s season 1 finale and iconically introduced herself as the wife of Patrick Dempsey‘s Derek Shepherd before extending a hand and telling Meredith, “And you must be the woman who’s been screwing my husband.”

Walsh departed Grey’s at the end of the third season in 2007 to star in her character’s own six-season spinoff, Private Practice, which wrapped in 2013.

Grey’s Anatomy, now in its 18th season, airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.

Theater-chain owners might just start exhaling after hearing this news. Following the strong showings of the Marvel Studios films Black Widow and Shang-Chi, tickets for the studio’s next film, Eternals, are already selling better than those for its predecessors.

In fact, Deadline reports that Eternals earned $2.6 million in its first 24 hours of pre-sales — that’s 86% better than Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and 30% greater than pre-sales for Black Widow.

Shang-Chi went on to earn more than $402 million worldwide, while Black Widow reportedly earned over $397 million. However, unlike Shang-Chi, the latter film, which came out July 7, was controversially released simultaneously in theaters and via Disney+ Premiere Access. That prompted a lawsuit from star and executive producer Scarlett Johansson, who had claimed the strategy cut into theatrical profits — and thus her bottom line. The suit was eventually settled.

Eternals, which stars Salma Hayek, Kit Harington, Angelina Jolie and Richard Madden, and which was directed by Nomadland Oscar winner Chloé Zhao, opens November 5.

Disney is the parent company of ABC News.

Just in time for Halloween, the third season of Netflix’s hit The Movies That Made Us peels back the curtain on the making of three horror classics: 1978’s Halloween, 1980’s Friday The 13th, and 1984’s A Nightmare on Elm Street. 

The series also takes a look at enduring ’80s hits like James Cameron‘s Aliens, the Eddie Murphy comedy Coming to America, and Robocop.

With the spooky season upon us, ABC Audio caught up with Brian Volk-Weiss, the series’ creator and executive producer. He didn’t start out as a horror fan but as he and his “Mozart-level editors” Nick Ferrell and Ben Frost dove deep into what made the slasher flicks endure, he got it. 

“You know what it is, I think, and this is going to sound crazy talking about these low-budget horror films, but they have in their own way, a lot of heart,” he says. “It is a very, very simple antagonist. And everybody just gets out of his way or not! But there’s a charm to these films!”

Volk-Weiss notes another key element: casting. “Maybe these aren’t people that are going to get Oscars for best acting. I get it. But they had charisma. They had charm. Yes, most of them were good-looking, but they had charisma!”

Movies That Made Us’ look into 1986’s Aliens is also eye-opening: it features an interview with James Remar, who was fired from the film after shooting started because of a drug arrest, forcing James Cameron to replace him as Hicks with Terminator veteran Michael Biehn.

“I still cannot believe we got Remar,” Volk-Weiss admits. “By the way, even when I was interviewing Sigourney [Weaver], I told her…and she was like, ‘Really?!’

Amazon has has tapped Insecure star Yvonne Orji to host the second installment of Yearly Departed, a comedy special that says good-bye to everything left behind in 2021.

Similar to the first installment, Yearly Departed will feature an all-female lineup of guests, who will tackle some of 2021’s most notable topics including, the climate crisis and navigating Zoom. Yearly Departed will premiere sometime December. The lineup of guests have yet to be announced.

In other news, Michael B. Jordan is explaining why he signed onto the Denzel Washington-directed film A Journal for Jordan. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Jordan says joining the cast was a no-brainer because of the “opportunity to work with Denzel.”

“When [San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg] Popovich, or somebody gives you a call, it’s like, ‘Oh, [shoot]. OK. Yeah, yep. I’m showing up.’ Whatever it is, we gotta figure it out,” he says. “But I think the opportunity to work with one of my mentors and somebody that I idolized, to be able to learn from him and be directed by him, was priceless.”

As previously reported, the film, also starring Chanté Adams, is based on Dana Canedy’s New York Times best-selling memoir of the same name. It’s inspired by Canedy’s love affair with First Sergeant Charles Monroe King, who was killed in 2006 in Iraq when his son, Jordan, was just seven months old. The story centers on the journal King left behind for his son, filled with important life lessons. 

A Journal for Jordan will play in limited release on December 10 in New York and LA and then go to wide theatrical release on December 22.

Moments after William Shatner touched down to Earth after becoming the oldest human being to ever travel to space, he was overwhelmed.

Shatner recounted his feelings to Blue Origin CEO Jeff Bezos about what he’d seen, and what he was feeling, particularly the “fragility” of our planet’s blue sky. 

“You shoot through it all of a sudden, as if you whip…a sheet off you when you’re asleep, and you’re looking into blackness, into black ugliness,” the Star Trek star recalled, clearly overcome.

Continuing to try to explain the experience, he said, “You look down and there’s the blue down there and the black up there…[Down] there is Mother Earth and comfort, and [up] there is death? I don’t know, is that death? Is that the way death is? Whup! and it’s gone? Jesus.”

Shatner wiped away tears while he kept on speaking with Bezos, as crew members scurried around the New Shepard capsule that the actor had just exited. 

“What you have given me is the most profound experience I can imagine. It’s so filled with emotion about what just happened. I just it’s extraordinary, extraordinary,” Shatner said to Bezos.

“I hope I never recover from this. I hope that I can maintain what I feel now. I don’t want to lose it,” Shatner added, before the two men embraced.

Bezos called Shatner’s words “beautiful.”

The Star Trek actor, famous for playing Starship Enterprise Captain James T. Kirk, blasted off into space at 10:50 a.m. Eastern time, along with microbiologist Glen de Vries, Planet Labs founder Chris Boshuizen and Blue Origin’s Audrey Powers.

Minutes after their launch, their capsule landed flawlessly on the Texas desert.

Before The Amazing Race was sidelined because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Phil Keoghan logged some 200,000 miles a year as the host of the show. 

But with William Shatner‘s historic blast-off this morning, ABC Audio asked the multiple Emmy winner if he’d follow in Shatner’s footsteps for a new kind of travel.

“Like, in a heartbeat,” Keoghan said. “I was like, ‘Man, I wish I could be there!'”

Keoghan then noted that he “could see a future season of Amazing Race” featuring contestants making a similar journey. Imitating himself as the show’s narrator, he added, laughing, “Teams must now make their way into space…with William Shatner at the helm!” 

The host said of the historic trip, “I’m really happy for him. What a full circle, right?… [He] starts off pretending to go to space and then ends, you know, he’s 90 years old, and he really does go to space! Captain Kirk, beam me up!”

Keoghan’s new hit series, Tough as Nails, is now in its third season, and airs tonight on CBS. The show, which highlights the hard work of everyday heroes, is running as the U.S. is facing a supply crisis, due in part to a lack of such people Keoghan calls the “backbone” of the country.

“Yes, you’re absolutely right,” he says of the serendipitous timing of the new season.

The show excels at “opening people’s eyes up…[pulling] back the curtain a wee bit…to see some of the things that maybe we take for granted,” Keoghan explains.

He adds, “And this is the time to acknowledge those people who have helped us get through the pandemic and who make the country function, quite frankly, because without them, things would just stop functioning.”

Zendaya‘s new film Dune isn’t out for another week, but she’s already ready for a sequel. 

Opening up to InStyle magazine, the 25-year-old actress revealed, “We’ll see how the first [movie] goes, but I’m ready to do a second.”

“Whenever they call, I’m here,” she continued. “[Co-star] Timothée [Chalamet] is an extraordinary talent and just a lovely person — he’s become my family.”

The Disney channel alum added that she “had such a fun time” making Dune, which hits theaters October 22 and also stars Jason Momoa.

In addition to opening up about the upcoming film, Zendaya shared a bit about her seemingly on-again beau Tom Holland and what she admires most about him.  

“There are many things, obviously, that I appreciate,” she began. “In an actor way, I appreciate that he really loves being Spider-Man.”

“It’s a lot of pressure — you take on the role of a superhero wherever you go. To the little kid who walks by, you are Spider-Man,” the Euphoria star explained. “I think he handled that so well. And seeing him at work, even though he’s not a Virgo [laughs], he is a perfectionist.”

“He’s a fun time,” she admitted. “Very charismatic, can make anybody feel comfortable and have a good laugh and a good chat.”

William Shatner has officially become the planet’s oldest space traveler.

The Star Trek actor, famous for playing starship Enterprise Captain James T. Kirk, blasted off into space at 10:50 a.m. Eastern time, aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket, along with microbiologist Glen de Vries, Planet Labs founder Chris Boshuizen and Blue Origin’s Audrey Powers. 

The mission, officially designated NS-18, took off a little later than originally predicted, and made Shatner, who turned 90 in March, the oldest human being to venture to space — or at least, just over the edge of it in a sub-orbital flight.

The flight was delayed for nearly an hour but went off apparently flawlessly, lasting ten minutes from liftoff to the touchdown of the capsule in the West Texas desert.  All four astronauts hugged Blue Origin boss Jeff Bezos after their safe landing.

New Shepherd‘s capsule ascended to just past the Karman Line, which is the officially recognized point where Earth’s atmosphere ends and what is considered to be space begins.  The imaginary line is located 62 miles, or 330,000 feet, above the Earth’s surface.

Shatner was the third crew member to board the capsule with his fellow crew members, each of whom rang a ceremonial bell on a tower platform before boarding.

Shatner’s feat surpassed a record set by 82-year-old astronaut Wally Funk, who blasted off on the New Shepard in July.

Kim Kardashian will be the only one with the keys to her and Kanye West‘s mansion in Hidden Hills, which is valued at $60 million.

TMZ reports that Kardashian filed paperwork on Tuesday to obtain sole ownership of the property, effectively dispelling rumors that she and Ye have reconciled following her Saturday Night Live hosting debut.  It’s reported that the two agreed on a buyout price and that their negotiation was “extremely cordial.”

According to the legal documents, Kardashian and her four children have resided in the sprawling California estate since February, when the former couple first filed for divorce.

Kardashian and the Donda rapper first purchased the home in 2014 for a cool $20 million before extensively renovating it. When the remodeling was complete, the pair then purchased the neighboring 1.5 acre property in 2019 for an additional $3 million — bringing their estate’s total lot size to eight acres.

The news comes shortly after Kanye listed his 7,000-acre ranch in Wyoming for sale, which he retreated to when rumors first surfaced that he and Kim were having marital problems.  Ye is asking for $11 million for that property.
