Rumors about Bruce Willis selling his likeness for deepfakes in future movies are not true. Last year, a Russian company called Deepcake created an AI-generated image of Bruce for a Russian telecoms company commercial. Then the rumors started that Bruce sold his likeness to Deepcake so he could continue “acting” following his aphasia diagnosis, which caused him to retire. But Bruce’s agent says that is not true. Yes, Bruce did make a deal for that one commercial, but the agent said, “Please know that Bruce has no partnership or agreement with this Deepcake company.” Deepcake’s reps agree, saying despite previously working with Bruce, his likeness still belongs to him, not them.

In movie and streaming news, another “American Pie” is on the way. The original debuted in 1999 and this will be the ninth movie in the franchise. It will also be the first NOT to feature Eugene Levy. The plot is being kept secret for now, but producers are promising a “fresh take” on the franchise. And “Firefly Lane” fans will be excited to know that Season 2 will consist of 16 episodes split into two parts, with the first nine being released on Dec. 2 and the rest later next year. But the bad news is, this is it. “Firefly Lane” is two seasons and done. And HBO is responding to all you fans complaining that Sunday night’s episode of the “Game of Thrones” spinoff “House of the Dragon” was too dark. LITERALLY too dark. Fans couldn’t see what was happening on their screens, and this isn’t the first time HBO has heard this complaint. Fans said the same thing about the final episode of “Game of Thrones.” Basically, HBO doesn’t care what you think! In response to one fan’s complaint, HBO replied, “The dimmed lighting of this scene was an intentional creative decision. Thanks!”

Christina Hall — who was Christina Haack before she married Tarek el Moussa and then she went and married Ant Antstead, but after she left him out of the blue she went back to her maiden name Haack before she pulled another surprise and married this guy named Josh Hall — is going through an ugly custody battle with her ex Ant. Ant has been fighting to keep their son Hudson off Christina’s TV shows and social media, saying Christina was using him to promote herself. He explained in court documents that he didn’t care about her posting “organic” things with their son, just doing everyday things, as long as she wasn’t profiting off of him. In fact, he shares photos with his son on social media, but neither he nor Hudson were getting paid for it. He also pointed out the “innumerable and well documented” risks of children working on TV sets, and even referenced the suicide of “Toddlers & Tiaras” star Kailia Posey earlier this year. Christina is finally giving up. She issued a statement saying, “I am mentally exhausted over the recent false accusations against me. Hudson’s father has made attempts to turn my family, friends, and fans against me through manipulation tactics and false information. This has had a great impact on me and my household. Because of this, I have made the decision to no longer feature Hudson on Instagram, my tv shows, or any social platforms until he is old enough to make this decision for himself. I have always been fine not having Hudson appear on public platforms and have made that clear. My only reason for wanting him to appear on my shows has always been to participate in the fun activities/outings with our family/siblings.”

It’s been almost three weeks since Paris Hilton’s chihuahua Diamond Baby disappeared. On Sept. 19, a mover left a door open and Diamond Baby took off just like Big Al’s Little Man! Even though she’s seen no sign of Diamond Baby, Paris believes she’s still alive and with someone…..because 7 different psychics have told her so. Paris is offering a $10K reward for the safe return of Diamond Baby and would like to make the amount higher, but her security team advised her against it. That would only make her a target for future pet snatchers. In the meantime, she’s set up an email for anybody who may find her baby girl — finddiamondbaby@gmail.com.

HARDY is recovering from a tour bus accident over the weekend, which may cause him to miss opening a couple shows for Morgan Wallen. According to news reports, HARDY’s tour bus was traveling down I-40 near Nashville last Saturday when it went off the right side of the highway and turned over onto its left side. HARDY posted on social media Sunday, “Following last night’s show, our tour bus was in an accident on our way home from Bristol. There were just four of us, including myself, on the bus, however we were all treated for significant injuries. Our friend, and bus driver needs your prayers as he is still in the hospital. His family is with him while he is being treated and we’re all pulling and praying for him.” In later posts, HARDY said he’s under doctors orders to spend the new few weeks recovering, which would impact his tour with Morgan. That would include this Saturday’s show in Arlington, Texas. And he also added, “Thank you for all the texts and calls. I’m alive and that’s all that matters. I love you all.”
