If you thought Kelis would clear up those Bill Murray dating rumors, think again. 

When a user on Instagram inquired about the status of her relationship with the comedian, whom she had been linked to recently, she playfully addressed the rumors.

In response to the comment posted under Kelis’ June 10 Instagram post, which read, “Ma’am would you care to address these Bill Murray allegations?!? Cuz damn! What he doing with all that?!?,” the “Milkshake” singer replied, saying, “lol no babe, I wouldn’t bother at all.”

Reports that Kelis, 43, and Murray, 72, were romantically linked first surfaced last week by the British tabloid The Sun.

Murray reportedly attended her show at the Mighty Hoopla festival in South London last weekend, and according to the publication, he’s been at the “Bossy” performer’s other recent shows, too.

In March of 2022, Kelis’ husband Mike Mora died at 37 of stomach cancer, and Murray’s estranged second wife Jennifer Butler, whom he divorced in 2008, passed away in January of 2021 at age 54. According to this source, the unlikely couple “bonded” over their respective losses.

Actress Naomi Watts took to Instagram over the weekend to share sweet wedding photos with actor Billy Crudup, shortly after confirming the couple’s marriage on Saturday.

In the first photo posted to Watts’ Instagram on Saturday, the couple posed together in wedding attire on the steps of a building.

“Hitched!” Watts captioned the photo.

Crudup, known for his roles in Almost Famous, Watchmen, and Spotlight, wore a navy suit. Watts, who rose to fame in David Lynch’s award-winning film Mulholland Drive and has since starred in several popular movies and television series, wore a white, laced dress and a strappy nude-gold heel.

The two met while filming the Netflix drama series Gypsy and began dating in 2017.

Watts and Crudup, both 54, share three children together from previous marriages.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts topped the weekend box office, opening with an estimated $60.5 million at the North American box office. The seventh film in the franchise, starring Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback, added an estimated $110 million overseas, bringing its global total to $170.5 million.

That knocked Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse into second place, although it gave Rise of the Beasts a run for its money, earning an estimated $55.4 million for a $225.4 million two-week total. Worldwide, it’s already surpassed 2018’s Into the Spider-Verse‘s lifetime gross of $377 million, with $390 million in just 12 days, making it Sony s highest-grossing animated release in history.

The Little Mermaid took third place with an estimated $22.8 million at the domestic box office and $52.7 million overseas. Its three-week global tally currently stands at $414.2 million.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 held on to fourth place with an estimated $7 million in North America. The third Guardians of the Galaxy movie has crossed $800 million worldwide. It’s now topped the first film’s $773 million gross, but currently trails Vol. 2‘s $863 million.

Rounding out the top five was The Boogeyman, grabbing $6.9 million in its second week of release. Its domestic total now stands at $24.7 million.

In HBO’s new show The Idol, Lily-Rose Depp plays Jocelyn, a pop star who has been driven to fame by an overbearing momager. 

However, despite having two famous parents, Johnny Depp and singer Vanessa Paradis, the actress explains her upbringing wasn’t directing her toward the spotlight. 

“The backstory that we thought about a lot for Jocelyn is that she’s somebody who’s been working basically since she could talk,” Lily-Rose tells Entertainment Weekly. “She was a child actress, she had a mother who was really pushy in that way and really kind of bred her to be this trained performer, and that was her upbringing.”

Conversely, Depp explains, “That was certainly not mine. My parents definitely did their best to give my brother [Jack, 21] and I the most ‘normal’ childhood that we could have.” 

The 24-year-old adds, “Obviously, still not totally normal, but a sense of normalcy at least, and a sense of childhood and freedom and play and everything. So our childhoods are quite different.”

That said, Lily-Rose explains, “Of course, experiencing this industry from a young age, there’s obviously pieces of that that help me understand maybe Jocelyn’s perspective a little bit better, but still, definitely coming from different places.”

The Idol airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO; new episodes later stream on Max.

Disney+ has revealed the trailer to Stan Lee, the documentary about the longtime Marvel Comics icon, who passed away in 2018 at 95.

The coming attraction opens with Lee’s cameo in 2008’s Iron Man — in which Robert Downey Jr.‘s Tony Stark mistakes him for Hugh Hefner — and takes viewers into the origin story of Lee’s long career.

Lee created or co-created dozens of the world’s best-known properties, from Iron Man to Spider-Man, Black Panther, Doctor Strange and the Fantastic Four.

The trailer also shows clips of the dozens of cameos Lee made throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe, from Spider-Man: No Way Home to Captain Marvel and Ant-Man, and how Marvel Comics stayed relevant over the decades, through storylines that dealt with the civil rights struggle, the war in Vietnam and more.

“If you really want to change things and make them better, you gotta plunge in,” Lee says in an old interview clip.

Stan Lee drops June 16 on Disney+.

Marvel Studios is owned by Disney, the parent company of ABC News.

Two of the most recognizable names in comedy, Jerry Seinfeld and Jim Gaffigan, are teaming up and co-headlining a four-date stand-up tour.

Gaffigan’s Instagram notes tickets go on sale Wednesday, June 14, at 10 a.m. on both JimGaffigan.com and JerrySeinfeld.com, with the code ALIVE; Gaffigan’s main summer tour is titled Barely Alive.

The shows kick off November 3 at San Francisco’s Chase Center; Saturday, November 4, will have them playing the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. The tour moves to Chicago November 10 and wraps up Saturday, November 11, at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri.

Jerry, who met Jim on season 8 of Seinfeld’s Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee series, told The Hollywood Reporter that the team-up was in the works for some time. “[We] have been talking about doing this for years. We finally made the schedules work out.”

For his part, Gaffigan added, “I’m so excited to help out this unknown up and upcoming comedian who many may have never heard of. I know it will be an amazing bunch of shows.”

In a lengthy Instagram post, Fast and Furious saga star and executive producer Vin Diesel thanked fans, and teased what could be the release date of the next Fast film.

“April 4th 2025… is less than 22 months away,” Diesel began the caption of a picture of him and Jason Momoa on the set of Fast X.

“I love how expressive and collaborative all of the actors in our franchise feel coming into the World’s Saga,” Vin continued.

“Jason wanted to try something totally unique and special and ended up creating a scene stealing character that the world won’t forget.”

Diesel added to the fans, crediting them for the franchise’s eye-watering box office take to date, “Thank you all for showing up like you always do…. 7 billion means nothing if it doesn’t represent the true feeling of family and loyalty.”

He added, “For those who didn’t know the FastX was just part one, know that part two is going to be an effort from our fast family and studio like you have never seen.”

He closed the message with “All Love.”

Vin’s feed also showed what appears to be concept art from the forthcoming chapter — one captioned “Part 2” and another with the apparent release date. One photo shows a pair of women in a snowscape — a possible tease of the fates of Michelle Rodriguez‘s Letty and Charlize Theron‘s Cypher, as the new film closed with them seemingly trapped in an arctic environment.

Officially, the next Fast-related movie that will hit theaters is Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson‘s second spinoff centering on his character, Lucas “Luke” Hobbs. It is set between, and will be released between, Fast X and the next saga film Diesel teased.

After premiering on the Disney Channel and Disney XD Thursday, the animated show Hailey’s On It!, starring the voice of Moana, Auliʻi Cravalho, has come to Disney+.

The 22-year-old actress plays the title character, a 14-year-old girl who comes to find out that the world itself depends on her personal to-do list. 

“She has this long list, this whole book full of tasks that she wants to complete…For instance, playing the glockenspiel, getting a major haircut, kissing her best friend Scott,” Cravalho tells ABC Audio.

“And she hopes to complete them, but she’s a little scared. And then she is visited by a scientist from the future who tells her that she is destined to save the world, but she has to complete every single one of the items in her list.”

The actress bonded immediately with the “quirky” character. She explains, “I’ve been so lucky to play and voice characters who have incredible heart, who have, you know, who believe in themselves, who want to change the world. And that specifically, Hailey embraces her inner nerd. She really enjoys like geeking out and the things that she feels are important. So I feel the same way!”

Cravalho gets to let loose musically in the show, too, and not just by singing its catchy theme song. 

“I really do enjoy voice work,” Auli’i smiles. “I lock myself in a little recording booth and I have a mic right up to my my mouth. And then I just tell a story and I don’t care what I look like. I don’t care what kind of wacky, strange facial expressions I make, and it brings me such great joy!”  

Disney is the parent company of ABC News.
