Deadline reports the Alec Baldwin western Rust will resume production in January, 15 months after cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot on set, but not in New Mexico.

No final decision has been made on the new location, but producers are reportedly set to scout locations in California, near Palm Springs and the Nevada border.

An insider tells the outlet, “It’s emotionally difficult for the crew and the cast to return to the same place” — that is, where Halyna was mortally wounded by Baldwin when a supposedly safe weapon he was pointing at her discharged a live round.

Halyna was shot on October 21, 2021; Rust‘s director Joel Souza was also injured by the same bullet.

The news comes two weeks after Hutchins’ husband, Matthew Hutchins, settled his wrongful death lawsuit with Rust producers on October 5. Matthew has also come on board as an executive producer to finish the film, per the agreement.

A criminal investigation into the shooting is still ongoing.

Season 1 of the satanic animated comedy Little Demon comes to an end tonight on FXX, with real life father and daughter Danny and Lucy DeVito playing Satan and Satan’s love child, Chrissy, and Lucy tells ABC Audio there’s a big reveal on tonight’s season finale.

“I could give you a little spoiler, and it’s that Chrissy realizes she has siblings,” she teases, adding, “The devil has gotten around.”

Lucy says her dad makes a great Devil, explaining, “he’s got this very dark side. He’s mischievous. You know, he’s got this sort of like love for the, kind of macabre.”

And Danny’s tapped into that side of his personality a time or two in the past, noting, “There was there was a period of time in there where I think after Batman and War of the Roses and things like that, people were actually calling me The Prince of Darkness, in the press, you know. So it was like, you know, your dad is the prince of darkness, you know?”

However, this Devil isn’t all about darkness, says Lucy.

“He’s also, like, very warm and, you know, like an amazing father,” she explains. “And we wanted to create, like, this interesting Satan, which was not just black or white, you know, someone who has this depth to them. He does want to spend time with his daughter. And I think that’s like kind of an interesting portrayal of the Satan that we see, you know, usually in pop culture who is more just evil.”

Denzel Washington reunited with his Man on Fire co-star Dakota Fanning in Southern Italy for a photoshoot to commemorate the start of production on The Equalizer 3.

Director Antoine Fuqua was all smiles in the pictures snapped in Atrani, as was series newcomer Gaia Scodellaro.

The plot of the Sony Pictures film is being kept under wraps, but the franchise — spawned from the TV show of the same name that also inspired the reboot starring Queen Latifah — has been a solid performer for the studio.

The 2014 original grossed more than $190 million worldwide, and its 2018 sequel made more than $192 million.

Washington and Fanning first worked together when Fanning was just 10, in the late Tony Scott‘s 2004 thriller Man on Fire.

Seems that Ye is sort of remorseful about his recent anti-Semitic comments. 

In a short interview clip with British broadcaster Piers Morgan, the rapper reflected on his remarks and offered an apology to those he hurt.  

“I will say, I’m sorry for the people that I hurt with the death con — the confusion that I caused,” he said. “I feel like I caused hurt and confusion.”

Ye continued, “And I’m sorry for the families of the people that had nothing to do with the trauma that I had been through. And that I used my platform, where you say ‘hurt people, hurt people’ — and I, I was hurt.”

But Ye says he’s “absolutely not” regretful about making the statement. After Morgan suggested Ye’s comments were racist, the rapper responded, “I fought fire with fire.”

Earlier this month, Ye was restricted on Twitter and Instagram after tweeting that he’s “going death con 3 on Jewish people.” The hateful remarks sparked widespread controversy, both on the internet and across the globe.  

Ye’s interview with Morgan is the latest in a string of recent media appearances for the rapper, during which he’s addressed the anti-Semitic comments. Popular podcast Drink Champs released, then removed, their interview with the rapper, while the HBO show The Shop decided not to air his episode at all.

The perfect compliment for a salad — and a juicy tabloid story — can now be yours.

The saucy salad dressing became a thing after headlines broke about an alleged incident between Olivia Wilde and ex Jason Sudeikis as described by their former nanny in an interview published by the Daily Mail on Monday.

The nanny claimed the Don’t Worry Darling director prepared a salad for singer Harry Styles using her “special dressing” in the family kitchen in November 2020 — an event which she alleged led to a chaotic evening between Wilde and Sudeikis.

Upon seeing Wilde doing this, the nanny alleged that Sudeikis “chased after her” and “lay under her car so she wouldn’t leave” to meet Styles. The nanny claimed Wilde told the Ted Lasso actor she was scared of him during the encounter.

The nanny alleged Sudeikis was hung up on the idea of Wilde taking her “special salad dressing,” normally made for her family, to rendezvous with Styles.

“I don’t know what was in it,” the nanny said of the dressing.

Although the celebrity couple called the nanny’s accusations “false and scurrilous,” apparently the dressing is a thing — and the internet wanted to know just what condiment could cause such a rumored marital moment.

Olivia answered, posting a page from the Nora Ephron novel Heartburn — which incidentally was about a celebrity breakup. “Mix 2 tablespoons Grey Poupon mustard with 2 tablespoons good red wine vinegar. Then, whisking constantly with a fork, slowly add 6 tablespoons olive oil, until the vinaigrette is thick and creamy,” the excerpt details.

Ephron notes, “This makes a very strong vinaigrette that’s perfect for salad greens like arugula and watercress and endive.”

(NOTE LANGUAGE) On a new episode of her podcast Anna Faris Is Unqualified, the former Mom star detailed the “reign of terror” she claims she faced on the set of My Super Ex-Girlfriend at the hands of director Ivan Reitman.

Reitman, who directed classic comedies like Stripes and the first two Ghostbusters films, died in February at 75.

Before asking if she “could speak ill of the dead,” Faris told her guest Lena Dunham that working with the filmmaker was “one of my hardest film experiences.”

Faris claims, “I mean, the idea of attempting to make a comedy under this, like, reign of terror — he was a yeller. He would bring down somebody every day…and my first day, it was me.”

She said, “I felt angry, and hurt, and humiliated” by Reitman’s outburst, which was prompted by her tardiness following a wardrobe problem.

Faris also detailed another incident in which Reitman “slapped my a**,” adding, “That was a weird moment.”

According to The Guardian, Faris later recalled, “…I was on a ladder and I was supposed to be taking books off a shelf and he slapped my a** in front of the crew so hard. And all I could do was giggle.”

Faris said, “I remember looking around and I remember seeing the crew members being like, ‘Wait, what are you going to do about that? That seemed weird.’ And that’s how I dismissed it. I was like, ‘Well, this isn’t a thing. Like, it’s not that big of a deal. Buck up, Faris. Like, just giggle.’ But it made me feel small. He wouldn’t have done that to the lead male.”

She claimed she didn’t complain because this was years before the #MeToo movement.

Friends veteran star Matthew Perry is opening up about his decades-long battle with addiction in hopes of inspiring others with his new memoir, Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing.

The actor tells People, “I had to wait until I was pretty safely sober — and away from the active disease of alcoholism and addiction — to write it all down. And the main thing was, I was pretty certain that it would help people.”

The book, which hits stores November 1, reveals for the first time how addiction nearly cost the 53-year-old star his life at age 49. His colon burst from opioid abuse, Perry reveals, requiring extensive gastrointestinal surgeries.

He recalls, “The doctors told my family that I had a 2 percent chance to live. I was put on a thing called an ECMO machine, which does all the breathing for your heart and your lungs. And that’s called a Hail Mary. No one survives that.” He later said he was one of four people put on that machine that day who lived to tell the tale.

Perry also details how bad his drinking and opioid addiction was, noting at one point during Friends‘ run, he was taking 55 pills a day and was down to 128 pounds.

He explains he had points of sobriety in the show’s run, too, noting, “Season 9 was the year that I was sober the whole way through. And guess which season I got nominated for best actor? I was like, ‘That should tell me something.'”

Perry said his caring castmates were there to “prop him up,” likening them to penguins. “[I]n nature, when one is sick…They walk around it until that penguin can walk on its own,” he said. “That’s kind of what the cast did for me.”

Amid reports of Selena Gomez working on a reboot of the 1988 hit comedy Working Girl, Sigourney Weaver — who starred alongside Melanie Griffith and Harrison Ford in the original — has weighed in with her opinion, calling it a “great, fantastic idea.”

“Go for it. I think it’s a great instinct to want to do that again,” Weaver told The Hollywood Reporter at at ELLE magazine’s Women in Hollywood event Monday, where she was an honoree. “It’s a kind of eternal story, you know. But seen in the new light, it’s especially interesting to think of Katharine double-crossing her assistant in today’s world. It would be worse, wouldn’t it? It would really suck. So I don’t know, I’m really excited to see it.”

Working Girl starred Griffith as Tess, an ambitious receptionist dreaming of corporate success whose savvy business idea is stolen by her conniving boss, Katharine, played by Weaver. When Katharine suffers a broken leg, Tess exacts revenge by masquerading as her boss and initiating a deal with Jack, an investment broker portrayed by Ford.

The movie, directed by Mike Nichols, earned six Oscar nods, including Best Actress for Griffith and Best Supporting Actress for Weaver and Joan Cusack, and Carly Simon won Best Original Song for the theme “Let the River Run.”
