As is tradition, the morning before they could get the call they’ve always wanted when the Oscar nominations are revealed, come the nominations for an award no actor would want: the Golden Raspberry.

The Razzies just revealed their picks for the 43rd annual salute to the year’s worst movies and performances, and “leading” the pack is Netflix’s Marilyn Monroe movie Blonde.

The movie might have earned a 14-minute standing ovation at Cannes last year, but it earned eight nominations for The Razzies: A pair of Worst Supporting Actor nods for Xavier Samuel and Evan Williams; a Worst Screen Couple for director Andrew Dominik “& His Issues with Women”; and the Worst Screenplay and Worst remake-ripoff/sequel category for Dominik.

Interesting, lead Ana de Armas, who played Monroe, was spared.

Other films to get a bushel full of the ol’ raspberry were the stoner comedy Good Mourning with 7, as if a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes wasn’t enough.

Disney’s live-action Pinocchio remake earned six nominations, including Tom Hanks, who this year was singled out for both Worst Actor in that film and Worst Supporting Actor for Elvis.

And while Pete Davidson may be lucky with the ladies, his movies didn’t fare as well: His voicework for Marmaduke earned him a Worst Actor nomination, while Good Mourning scored him a matching Worst Supporting Actor nom.

The 43rd Razzie Award “winners” will be revealed on Oscars Eve – Saturday, March 11.

Among Riley Keough‘s words, read by her Aussie stuntman husband Ben Smith-Petersen at her mom Lisa Marie Presley‘s memorial service Sunday, was a mention that the couple now have a daughter.

Now a rep for the Mad Max: Fury Road star confirmed to Page Six that the couple, married since 2015, welcomed a child at some point, but it’s not known when or what the baby’s name is.

On Sunday, an emotional Smith-Petersen eulogized his late mother-in-law with Riley’s written words, expressing in part, “Thank you for showing me love is the only thing that matters in this life. I hope I can love my daughter the way you loved me…”

Riley also said of her mother, who died on January 12 at age 54, “Thank you for giving me strength, my heart, my empathy, my courage, my sense of humor, my manners, my temper, my wildness, my tenacity. I’m a product of your heart, my sisters are a product of your heart, my brother is a product of your heart.”

Presley was laid to rest Thursday at her father Elvis’ Graceland estate, where the memorial service was held Sunday morning. Lisa Marie was laid to rest next to Benjamin, her son and Riley’s brother, who died by suicide in 2020 at 27.

Lisa Marie was also mom to 14-year-old twin daughters Finley and Harper Lockwood.

After almost a year, Kylie Jenner is introducing her son to the world.

The Kylie Cosmetics founder, who welcomed a son with Travis Scott last February, took to Instagram on Saturday to share some candid photos while simultaneously revealing the toddler’s name in the caption.

“AIRE,” she wrote, along with the white heart emoji.

Kylie, 25, and Travis, 31, initially named their 11-month old son Wolf Webster. However, in March, a month after his birth, the Kardashians star announced that they changed it.

“FYI our sons [sic] name isn’t Wolf anymore,” she shared in an Instagram Story at the time. “We just really didn’t feel like it was him.”

“Just wanted to share because I keep seeing Wolf everywhere,” she explained, adding the praying hands emoji.

Kylie and Travis welcomed their son on February 2, 2022. The baby boy joins 4-year-old big sister Stormi.

At her father’s iconic estate Graceland in Tennessee Sunday morning, friends and family members gathered for a memorial service to honor Lisa Marie Presley, who passed away at 54 on January 12.

Presley was laid to rest on Thursday next to her son, Benjamin Keough, in Graceland’s Meditation Garden.

Joel Weinshanker, film producer and managing partner of Elvis Presley Enterprises, opened the service by passing along Presley’s wishes for her own service: “Don’t make it sad.”

The former Mayor of Memphis, AC Wharton, explained, “Before Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan had Jack, before Goldie [Hawn] and Kurt [Russell] had Wyatt, before Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet had Zoe, before Jay Z and Beyonce had Blue Ivy, and long before Harry and Meghan had Archie, in this city, our own royal couple, Elvis and Priscilla had our own princess, Lisa Marie.”

He called her the “keeper of the flame,” and “this city’s precious jewel.”

Lisa Marie’s friend and former musical collaborator, Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan took the stage, clad in a dark shirt and black suit to perform on an acoustic guitar, his song “To Sheila.”

Following the performance, Presley’s close friend Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, explained they called each other “Sissy,” calling it a “great honor” to celebrate this “extraordinary” woman. Ferguson added of Queen Elizabeth II, “My late mother-in-law used to say, ‘Nothing could take away these moments, because grief is the price we pay for love.'”

Alanis Morissette then took the stage in a long, black coat, and performed “Rest,” accompanied by a piano.

Priscilla Presley chose to let her granddaughter’s written words speak for her, reading a poem her granddaughter wrote, called “The Old Soul.” It touched on the heartbreak Presley endured when her son Benjamin took his own life in 2020. “…Survivor’s guilt some would say, but a broken heart was the doing of her death,” Priscilla said.

Axl Rose then addressed the assembled mourners next, commenting in part, “I feel like I’m supposed to be texting her like right now saying I’m here, telling her how wonderful everyone is. I never in a million years expected to be singing here, especially not in these circumstances.”

Rose went on to express how much Presley loved Baz Lurhmann‘s Elvis movie and Austin Butler‘s performance. “Lisa’s loved and missed by many, and will continue to be loved and missed by all those whose lives she touched,” Rose said, before performing the Guns N’ Roses song “November Rain” on piano.

The Blackwood Brothers Quartet then followed with “How Great Thou Art,” and Jason Clark and the Tennessee Mass Choir closed out the ceremony.

Jeremy Renner revealed he broke more than 30 bones in a New Year’s Day snow plow accident that left him hospitalized in critical condition and required emergency surgery.

“Morning workouts, resolutions all changed this particular new years,” the 52-year-old actor wrote in a social media post on Saturday, sharing a photograph of him receiving physical therapy at his home. “Spawned from tragedy for my entire family, and quickly focused into uniting actionable love.”

Renner thanked everyone for their “messages and thoughtfulness” as he continues his recovery.

“These 30 plus broken bones will mend, grow stronger, just like the love and bond with family and friends deepens,” the Marvel star wrote. “Love and blessings to you all.”

Renner suffered “blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries” when he was run over by his unmanned snowcat, a large piece of snow plow equipment, on Jan. 1 in Reno, Nevada, officials said. He was airlifted to a local hospital and underwent emergency surgery on Jan. 2.

On Jan. 16, he revealed he was home from the hospital.

“Outside my brain fog in recovery, I was very excited to watch episode 201 with my family at home,” Renner wrote in a reply to a post from the official Twitter account for his Paramount+ show Mayor of Kingstown.

Renner’s update on Saturday prompted messages of support from the likes of model Heidi Klum, actor Jason Momoa and Renner’s Marvel costar, Chris Hemsworth.

“Your [sic] a champion mate! We love you,” Hemsworth commented.

Paramount Pictures

While Tom Brady is the “Brady” of the girls-of-a-certain-age road trip movie 80 for Brady, 91-year-old star Rita Moreno admitted he isn’t her cup of tea. She told Jimmy Kimmel on his chat show Thursday night that the Super Bowl ring-collecting quarterback is “a little old” for her liking, preferring instead Brady’s co-star, and former teammate, Rob Gronkowski, 33.

And if that seems scandalous, wait until you hear what the EGOT winner had to say about her “favorite scene” in the movie: When she and her onscreen pals Sally FieldJane Fonda and Lily Tomlin filmed in the New England Patriots’ locker room. 

“I entered the room, and it’s a real locker room, and I swear to God, like, in seconds, I got turned on,” Moreno said, to laughs — and the apparent embarrassment of Field, who was there with their other two co-stars. “I kept grabbing myself! I kept saying to myself, ‘What is wrong with you? … ‘You are 90!’ And then I thought, ‘There’s nothing wrong with that,'” Rita admitted proudly.

Prior to revealing that, she noted of 76-year-old Field, “She doesn’t like it when I talk about sex, and I love to.”

“There’s a reason I’m 91 now,” Moreno said to applause.

80 for Brady hits theaters February 3.

MTV’s ‘The Real Friends of WeHo’ cast teases what to expect

Watch out — a new reality show is in town and it’s called The Real Friends of WeHo.

The new series premieres Friday night on MTV and the cast — Brad Goreski, Todrick Hall, Curtis Hamilton, Jaymes Vaughan, Dorion Renauld and Joey Zauzig — are some of Hollywood’s most influential and successful LGBTQ+ celebrities.

The Real Friends of WeHo — WeHo is short for the gay-friendly West Hollywood neighborhood — focuses on the lives of this glamorous friend group. Jaymes tells ABC Audio that the show is “one of a kind.”

“I don’t know that there’s been a reality show that has done it this way yet,” he explains.

The fact that the cast are all members of the queer community is an aspect that isn’t lost on them. In fact, it’s that kind of representation that they hope viewers will appreciate. Joey’s hope is that people “will see a part of themselves in it and kind of relate and see a different side of our community and see that we’re all not perfect.”

“There haven’t been a lot of shows that show gay people in their natural habitat and I think it’s important to see successful gay men that are making it in Hollywood and finding ways to let our artistry and our voices be heard,” Todrick adds. “I think it’s really important to see that and for that representation to exist.”

Like any good reality show, though, there will be no shortage of entertainment.

“It is our real lives, but it’s also a television show. We all just saw the first episode and it’s good,” Brad teases. “There’s a lot of heart. There’s a lot of humor. There’s drama. It’s like the perfect mix of everything people would want in a reality TV show.”

Netflix

Netflix has given the greenlight to a sixth and final season of its hit Karate Kid spinoff, Cobra Kai.

The streamer dropped a teaser to that end on Friday.

The show, which stars and is executive produced by original Karate Kid leads Ralph Macchio and William Zabka, has been one of Netflix’s top performers since coming to the streaming service in 2020 after two seasons on its original home, YouTube.

“The training, the tournaments, the rivalries, the lessons,” Macchio’s Danny says in voice-over as a montage plays of chop-socky action from the previous seasons. “It hasn’t always been smooth, but after all this time, we built something together to be proud of.”

Zabka, as Johnny, replies off camera: “So lemme ask you: You have one more fight left in you?”

In a posted message to fans, creators Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg said, “Our day one goal with Cobra Kai has always been to end it on our terms, leaving the Valley in the time and place we’ve always imagined. So it is with immense pride and thankfulness that we were able to announce that achievement.”

They called it their “humble honor” to reacquaint “the world with the Karate Kid universe.”

They added, “While this may be a bittersweet day for the fandom, the Miyagiverse has never been stronger. This fandom is the BEST on the planet, and we hope to be telling more Karate Kid stories with you down the line.”

They added, “In the meantime, strap in for the BIGGEST SEASON OF COBRA KAI YET.”
