Like Sharon Stone, Rebel Wilson isn’t afraid to name names.

Earlier this month, the Pitch Perfect and Senior Year actress wrote on Instagram, “Do you wanna know why I have a ‘no a**holes’ policy now with people I work with? Well it’s all in the book: REBEL RISING available for pre-order now… oh and YES I name the a**hole!” Wilson also alleged, “Now the a**hole is trying to threaten me. He’s hired a crisis PR manager and lawyers. He’s trying to stop press coming out about my new book. But the book WILL come out and you will all know the truth.”

The memoir isn’t out yet, but Wilson named the “a**hole” in an Instagram Story on Monday: “I will not be bullied or silenced with high priced lawyer or PR crisis managers. The ‘a**hole’ that I am talking about in ONE CHAPTER of my book is Sasha Baron Cohen.”

Wilson and Baron Cohen starred together in 2016’s forgotten action-comedy Grimsby, which he also wrote.

Speaking on a radio show in 2014, Wilson suggested that he had pressured her to “go naked” in the comedy, with her threatening to call the agent they share and tell her that he was “harassing” her. “Every day he’s like, ‘Just go naked, it will be funny. Remember in Borat when I did that naked scene? It was hilarious,’” Wilson said. “On the last day, I thought I’d obviously won the argument and he got a body double to do the naked scene.”

Wilson claims Baron Cohen also suggested that she should “stick your finger up my butt, it’ll be a really funny bit.”

Rebel Rising comes out on April 2.

While opening about the Jeopardy! hosting scandal that saw Mike Richards get booted from the coveted gig after just one day, the former TV producer also revealed some secrets about how some of America’s classic game show prepare for catastrophe.

According to Richards, The Price is Right is well aware that contestants get overly excited about during the course of the show. Whether their name has been picked from the audience or they just want a huge prize, contestants lose their minds, and apparently, the production team is ready in case they lose control of… other things.

“When I got there, they had a system in place in case someone peed their pants,” Richards told PEOPLE:

Richards, who worked behind the scenes at places like Dick Clark productions and Jeopardy!, was at Price is Right as it transitioned from the Bob Barker-hosting era to the Drew Carey-hosting era.

“I never saw it happen, but there were curtains and a blow dryer and [a] pair of sweats just in case, since we’d have to get on with the show,” he recalls.

While Richards never got to activate The Price is Right‘s Pee Protocol, he did have to deal with one heck of a day early in his career. Richards helped launch the newly revamped Let’s Make a Deal with Wayne Brady as the host, which filmed in a sweltering hot studio in Las Vegas that didn’t exactly entice people to be a part of the audience.

“I’ll also never forget one time the audience coordinator ran up to me and said we only had 15 people in the audience for a 280-person theater. I was like, ‘Oh great,’” Richards recalled. “And then, someone else came up to me and said ‘Somebody just drove a forklift through the back of the Porsche we were going to give away as the big deal of the day.’ The executive producer looks at me and goes, ‘I got the Porsche. You get the audience.’”

Forrie J. Smith, the actor who plays Lloyd Pierce on Yellowstone, claims he was kicked off a flight for refusing to sit next to another passenger wearing a mask. “You know my social media people tell me that you like me face to face. But you know what, I can’t say face to face what I want,” the 65-year-old said on Instagram over the weekend, according to US Weekly. “Like, I just got kicked off a plane in, uh where the hell am I at? Houston, Texas. Because I told them that I didn’t feel comfortable sitting next to somebody with a mask on.”

Smith admitted that he had been drinking, but “I ain’t drunk. But they threw me off the plane because I’m drunk. Because you people won’t stand up and tell everybody what bullsh*t this is. I just told them I didn’t feel comfortable about sitting next to somebody who had to wear a mask and I’m off a plane.”

The video cut out as Smith spoke mid-sentence. He captioned the post on Saturday, “You need to hear this story. #cowboy #country #western #yellowstone #yellowstonetv.”

Smith previously refused to attend the 2022 Screen Actors Guild Awards due to COVID vaccination requirements. “I’m not vaccinated, I will not get vaccinated,” he explained. “I haven’t been vaccinated since I was a little kid. I don’t vaccinate my dogs, I don’t vaccinate my horses. I’ve never had a flu shot. I never will. I believe they compromise your immunities… It’s no offense to anyone. It’s just my beliefs. I just don’t believe in that stuff. Whatever.”

The Yellowstone set sounds like a fun time.

For the first time during the men’s NCAA Tournament this year, we have a buzzer-beater to force overtime. It came by way of the absolutely bonkers game in the South Region between the 1-seed, the Houston Cougars, and the 8-seed, the Texas A&M Aggies. It looked like the Cougs were on easy street, even though they were dealing with some pretty serious foul trouble.

And then, over the final 1:17 of the second half, the Aggies made March Madness magic happen. The team went on a 13-3 run that slowly cut into the Houston lead, giving them less and less breathing room as the game reached its conclusion. With seven seconds left and the Cougars up 86-83, A&M had the ball and kept firing, as star guard Wade Taylor IV missed back-to-back heaves from deep. And following a jump ball, the possession arrow kept it on that end of the floor, which led to a Houston timeout to try and set up their defense.

That meant the Aggies got to draw up a play, though, which led to Andersson Garcia doing this.

It is an absolutely ridiculous pass by Tyrece Radford, and Garcia did an incredible job to make sure he could bring the ball up from his ankles and get off a good look. But most importantly, it meant that we got overtime in a game that very much deserved it.

Muah, the wait for more JT is almost over. Since what appears to be the City Girls‘ indefinite hiatus, fans have eagerly waited as both ladies spread their solo wings. For JT, so far, it has included two solo songs, “No Bars” and “Sideways.”

But thanks to her first solo headlining tour, JT’s next move has been revealed. During the tour’s opening night, the rapper took to the stage to perform her next track. While the crowd rocked out to JT’s set, her wardrobe is what grabbed attendees’ attention. JT and crew’s custom graphic tees served as the formal announcement of her forthcoming debut solo mixtape.

Instead of changing her stage name, as previously contemplated, JT will simply adopt a new persona, as the title, City Cinderella, suggests. The upcoming body of work doesn’t have an official released. So, for now, the “City Cinderella coming soon” message on the tees is all the public knows.

Well, that’s all supporters needed to get hyped. “[JT’s] mixtape gonna change the game, mark my words,” wrote one user online. JT chimed it to echo the post. “I swear to God,” she wrote.

Others went on to ask where they could snag a tee to aid in the marketing of the project, to which JT replied, “My show.”

JT’s growing fanbase, the Juvies, is ready to ride out for their fav.

Believe it or not, youngins, at one point in rap, Mase was leading the way. The rapper-turned-pastor-turned-podcaster was the poster child for Bad Boy Records. However, seemingly out of nowhere, on April 20, 1999, he formally announced his retirement from the game Funkmaster Flex’s radio show, citing religious reasons.

Shortly after, he made his widely embraced comeback in 2004 with the track “Welcome Back.” However, his passion for the game had dwindled. In the years following a nasty feud with his former label head, Diddy was all the public could talk about. On Friday, March 22, during a recent episode of his co-hosted podcast, It Is What It Is, he claimed his retirement from rap was ultimately to “escape” Diddy.

“Everything, now, that we see playing out was all the things that I escaped,” he said, seemly referring to the mountain of allegations Diddy is facing. “The car. The Shyne. The Loon. Puff Daddy. Craig Mack. Biggie Smalls. So, even though I made those decisions and it cost me money, that’s why [when] I got with [Cam’Ron], [God] gave me the money back. I didn’t [really] lose no money. Destiny.”

What started as a conversation about the start of Kobe (R.I.P.) and Vanessa Bryant’s relationship, life, and destiny led Mase to think about his past.

Watch the full episode above (however, the remarks start around the 1-minute and 4-second mark).

Zach Edey and the Purdue Boilermakers continue to look good as they try to avenge last year’s performance in the NCAA Tournament. After becoming the second 1-seed to lose to a 16-seed in the history of the men’s tournament last year, the Boilermakers have steamrolled Grambling State and Utah State this year to earn a berth in the Sweet 16. And on Sunday, Edey was magnificent in a 106-67 win over the Aggies, going for 23 points, 14 rebounds, three blocks, three assists, and two steals.

After the game, Purdue coach Matt Painter got asked about people (namely journalists) who believe the success the back-to-back consensus first-team All-American has comes exclusively because of his size. In a clip that sure comes off like a coach who has been thinking about this for quite awhile, Painter took some time to respond.

“They just shouldn’t cover basketball,” Painter said. “And so, like, you go to school and you learn things or whatever, but we all don’t like every single class we’re in, right? It’s kind of a necessary evil, it’s like going to work — you don’t like everybody you work with, or you don’t like certain parts of your job. It’s tough, right? You gotta be able to deal with certain things that are difficult.

“I just think everybody should take tests on their knowledge of what they’re doing,” he continued. “I think coaches should take a test so they understand refereeing, and I think all referees should take a test so they understand coaching. And I think all journalists should have to take a basketball quiz or a test, or anybody that tweets, they should have to be able to do it. If they say something so moronic as that, then they should have to have a probationary status where they can’t tweet for, like, three months. I think it’ll help society, just try to knock out the fools so they don’t have to meet at the local Walmart and say things that don’t make any sense.”

With the win on Sunday, Edey and the Boilermakers earned a matchup against Gonzaga in the Sweet 16 on Friday.

Joey Grundl, a pizza delivery driver for a Domino’s Pizza in Waldo, Wisconsin, is being hailed as a hero for noticing a kidnapped woman’s subtle cry for help.

The delivery man was sent to a woman’s house to deliver a pie when her ex-boyfriend, Dean Hoffman, opened the door. Grundl looked over his shoulder and saw a middle-aged woman with a black eye standing behind Hoffman. She appeared to be mouthing the words: “Call the police.”

“I gave him his pizza and then I noticed behind him was his girlfriend,” Grundl told WITI Milwaukee. “She pointed to a black eye that was quite visible. She mouthed the words, ‘Call the police.'”

When Grundl got back to his delivery car, he called the police. When the police arrived at the home, Hoffmann tried to block the door, but eventually let the police into the woman’s home.

After seeing the battered woman, Hoffmann was arrested and she was taken to the hospital for her wounds.

Earlier in the day, Hoffman arrived at the house without her permission and tried to convince her to get back into a relationship with him. He then punched her in the face and hog tied her with a vacuum power cord.

“If you love me, you will let me go,” she pleaded, but he reportedly replied, “You know I can’t do that.” He also threatened to shoot both of them with a .22 caliber firearm he kept in his car. The woman later told authorities that she feared for her life.

An alert pizza delivery driver helped save a woman from her abusive ex-boyfriend, police say. A 55-year-old Grafton man now faces several counts of domestic …

A day later, Grundl was seen on TV wearing a hoodie from Taylor Swift’s “Reputation Tour” and her fans quickly jumped into action, tagging Swift in photos of the hero. Grundl already had tickets to go to an upcoming Swift concert in Arlington, Wisconsin, but when Swift learned of the story, she arranged to meet Grundl backstage.

“She … she knew who I was,” Grundl jokingly tweeted after the concert. “I’m thoroughly convinced Taylor gave me a cold.”

“This has been one of the most exciting weeks of my life,” Grundl said. “I’m legitimately getting emotional and I almost never get like this. But as the likely most memorable week of my entire life comes to an end … I guess I can really say … I’m doing better than I ever was.”

The Colorado Buffaloes have a pair of players who are currently projected to hear their names called very early in the 2025 NFL Draft. Starting quarterback Shedeur Sanders could have gone awfully high this year if he did not decide to return to Boulder, while wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter might be the most talented player in college football.

We still have to get through the 2024 NFL Draft and the upcoming college football season before we start worrying about where Sanders and Hunter will go, but unsurprisingly, their current head coach has thought ahead about this one. During an appearance on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, Deion Sanders expressed his belief that both players will go awfully high next spring, and then dropped a bombshell: He’s not opposed to either player pulling an Eli Manning if they go to a situation he dislikes.

“Top-4,” Sanders said when asked where he thinks the two players are going to go next spring at the 59:06 mark of this video. “Anywhere from 1-4, one of them is gonna be 1. One of them is gonna be 1, and the latter one would not go behind 4. Now, all this is subjective because I know where I want, kind of want them to go — and let’s not forget Shilo (Sanders). But I know where I want them to go. So, there’s certain cities where it ain’t gonna happen. It’s gonna be an Eli.”

Back in 2004, Manning and his father, Archie, made clear that the Ole Miss star refused to play for the team that had the No. 1 overall pick, the San Diego Chargers. As a result, after the Chargers used the pick on him, the team turned around and sent him to the New York Giants for a package headlined by the No. 4 pick that year, which was used on Philip Rivers.

Sanders did not specify which teams he’d prefer the two players avoid, nor did he explain his rationale for wanting this. However, while we have quite a way to go until next spring, this will almost certainly be something to monitor once we get through the upcoming college football season.

Film lovers, brace yourself. Apparently, there’s yet another musical movie heading to theaters. However, unlike other projects (Wonka, Mean Girls, Wicked, etc), this rumored theatrical release is completely appropriate considering its subject.

According to The InSneider, Prince’s biggest hits could be coming to the big screen. The newsletter letter reports that a “jukebox musical film” based on the late musician’s discography, directed by Ryan Coogler, is in the works.

Based on author Jeff Sneider’s account, the forthcoming project is backed by Universal Pictures but helmed by Proximity Media. Sneider also alleges that the venture has supposedly been “in development since 2018.” This part is noteworthy seeing that Prince died in April 2016. Following his tragic death, his estate was in constant contention as to which entities could license his likeness. Ultimately, the estate took first dibs, dropping unreleased music, a collector’s edition of written works, and more.

There have already been several attempts to release visuals about Prince’s life, including Ava DuVernay’s failed documentary attempt with Netflix. So, the public isn’t getting their hopes up. However, Sneider says the team over this latest project has been fully formed with involvement from Coogler’s wife and fellow director Zinzi, Bryan Edward Hill, Sev Ohanian, and Chairman and CEO of Universal Music Publishing Group, Jody Gerson.

Prince’s musical movie, Purple Rain, was preserved by the National Film Registry. So, Coogler has big shoes to fill. But given his past track record, he seems to be the perfect person for the job.
