Ezra Miller pleaded not guilty Monday morning to a burglary of booze the embattled Flash star allegedly committed in May.

Variety reports Miller and an attorney appeared remotely in Bennington, Vermont Superior Court; the actor faces 26 years behind bars if convicted on both burglary and petit larceny charges.

Miller was charged in August following an investigation into the break-in in Stamford, Vermont, close to the actor’s own home. It was the latest instance of Millie’s bad behavior, which previously included choking a female fan and arrests for harassment and assault in Hawaii.

In August, Vermont State Police showed up to Miller’s home in search of a mother and three young children who were reportedly staying there against the wishes of the children’s father. The trio was nowhere to be found. The cops were supposed to serve the star with an emergency care order following a Rolling Stone article that said the kids, aged 1, 4 and 5, were being kept in an environment where firearms and weed were present.

Miller, who uses they/them pronouns, recently said they were now seeking treatment for “complex mental health issues” and wanted “to apologize to everyone that I have alarmed and upset with[their] past behavior.”

Things are heating up on The Real Housewives of Miami.

During BravoCon on Sunday, the Peacock Original series debuted the trailer for its fifth season in front of fans and the current cast — Alexia Nepola, Larsa Pippen, Lisa Hochstein, Julia Lemigova, Dr. Nicole Martin, Guerdy Abraira, Adriana de Moura, and Marysol Patton.

The trailer begins with a main focus on Lisa’s contentious divorce from Lenny.

“I don’t know if my marriage is going to survive,” she says, before the next scene where Lisa reveals to her cast mates that her estranged husband is already seeing another woman.

The current situation is much different from the life Lisa described when she first began the show.

“My husband is a top plastic surgeon in this town, and I am his best creation,” she says in a flashback. “My husband built the perfect wife, and I built the perfect life.”

Lisa and Lenny were married for 12 years before he filed for divorce in May. They share two children: seven-year-old son Logan and three-year-old daughter Elle.

In addition to Lisa’s relationship woes, the trailer teases conflict between all of the RHOM ladies, as well as the struggles within each of their own relationships.

The first four episodes of season 5 of The Real Housewives of Miami will be available to stream December 8, with subsequent episodes released weekly on Thursdays.

There was good and bad news at the box office for Halloween Ends — the 13th and supposedly final film in the over four-decade-long franchise. The latest installment — with Jamie Lee Curtis returning as Laurie Strode — had one of the biggest openings of the season, debuting with an estimated $41.2 million. Unfortunately, that figure was nearly $14 million below expectations, possibly due to the movie’s simultaneous release on Peacock.

Halloween Ends also faced stiff competition from the horror film Smile, which logged a third strong week, slipping to second place with an estimated $12.4 million. That brings its total domestic gross to $71.1 million.

Pulling up in third place was the live-action/CGI animated Lyle, Lyle Crocodile, delivering an estimated $7.4 million and raising its two-week North American tally to $22.8 million.

The Woman King placed fourth, earning another $3.7 million in its fifth week of release, bringing its domestic total to $59.7 million. Worldwide, the film has grossed $76.5 million.

Rounding out the top five was Amsterdam, bringing in an estimated $2.9 million. That brings the $80 million budgeted film’s domestic tally to just $12 million, to go along with $6.5 million overseas. That puts it on track to become one of the year’s biggest flops.

Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber have seemingly shut down rumors that there is any beef between them. 

The pop star, 30, and model, 25, were photographed together at the 2022 Academy Museum Gala on Saturday and appeared to be in good spirits, flashing smiles in each of the pics.

Tyrell Hampton, who captured the snapshots, shared one to his Instagram along with the caption, “plot twist.” In the photo, Selena holds Hailey’s leg as they lean into close for the shot. 

The pictures come less than two weeks after Hailey’s bombshell interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast where she denied that she “stole” her husband, Justin Bieber, from Selena.  

Justin proposed to Hailey in July 2018, two months after he and Selena parted ways for good, prompting “Jelena” fans to call Hailey a “homewrecker.” Hailey said, “The only people that really know the truth of the situation and what the timeline really was and how it happened and how it went down are me and him.”

“I can say, period, point blank, I was never with him when he was in a relationship with anybody. That’s the end of it,” Hailey declared. “I was raised better than that.” She added Justin choosing to “move on” with her “was the most healthy, mature decision he could have made.”

With the news that Harry Potter series star Robbie Coltrane has passed away at 72, friends have taken to social media to mourn him.

In a statement, his Potter series co-star Daniel Radcliffe called Coltrane “one of the funniest people I’ve met,” and an “incredible actor and a lovely man.” Radcliffe recalled, “I’ve especially fond memories of him keeping our spirits up on Prisoner of Azkaban, when we were all hiding from the torrential rain for hours in Hagrid’s hut and he was telling stories and cracking jokes …” Radcliffe added, “I feel incredibly lucky that I got to meet and work with him and very sad that he’s passed.”

Emma Watson, who played Hermione Granger in the Potter films, said Coltrane “was like the most fun uncle I’ve ever had.” She described him as “deeply caring and compassionate towards me as a child and as an adult.” The actress continued in part, “His talent was so immense, it made sense he played a giant. He could fill any space with his brilliance.” She closed by saying, “You made it a joy to be Hermoine.”

Matthew Lewis, who portrayed Neville Longbottom, called Coltrane, “A giant, in more ways than one.”

Harry Potter series creator, author JK Rowling, posted a photo of her and the actor, noting, “I’ll never know anyone remotely like Robbie again. He was an incredible talent, a complete one off, and I was beyond fortunate to know him, work with him and laugh my head off with him. I send my love and deepest condolences to his family, above all his children.”

The official James Bond Twitter account called the GoldenEye and The World is Not Enough co-star’s death “a tragic loss to the world.”

Even the prime minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, weighed in, calling Coltrane a “Scottish entertainment legend,” who “will be hugely missed.”

Another day, another negative headline about Bill Murray.

Just days after Geena Davis detailed what she described as harassing behavior on the set of their 1990 comedy Quick Change, Saturday Night Live vet Rob Schneider is sounding off. 

Rob, who starred on the sketch show from 1990 to 1994, described to SiriusXM’s The Jim Norton & Sam Roberts Show on Wednesday a tense guest-hosting stint Murray had during Schneider’s run. 

Quoting an unnamed colleague, Schneider said, “‘Bill Murray is gonna come, he’s gonna change the dialogue. He’s gonna change things, and it’s gonna be great, but you don’t know who you’re gonna get. Which Bill Murray you’re gonna get. The nice Bill Murray? Or you’re gonna get the tough Bill Murray?'”

Acknowledging Murray is “super nice to fans,” Schneider said, “He hated us on Saturday Night Live when he hosted. Absolutely hated us. I mean, seething. He hated Chris Farley with a passion. Like he was just seething looking at him.”

Schneider couldn’t be sure why Farley was such a target for Murray’s ire, but speculated it could have been because Farley emulated one of his hardworking and hard-partying idols, John Belushi, who Murray worked alongside on SNL. “I want to believe that it’s because Chris thought it was cool to be Belushi, who [was Murray’s] friend who he saw die, that he thought it was cool to be that out of control.”

Belushi died of an overdose in 1982 at 33. Farley also died of a drug overdose at 33, in 1997. 

Murray “really hated [Adam] Sandler, too,” Schneider said, referring to one of the biggest stars of his SNL run. “[A]s soon as he would get on, you could see the audience just ate him up,” Schneider said of his friend and Grown Ups co-star.
