Lizzo & Jack Black make a cameo… Reese Witherspoon shuts down rumors… Diddy says he pays Sting… “Vanderpump Rules” tell-all reunion… and Jennifer Lopez blasted over launch of new alcohol brand

Listen to “Showbiz – Apr 6, 2023” on Spreaker.

 

In streaming and movie news, people who’ve watched the movie “Eerie” on Netflix say it is so horrifying, some can’t finish watching and others say they can’t sleep. “Eerie” is set at an all-girls Catholic school in the Philippines. After a student commits suicide, the other students claim she’s haunting them. A clairvoyant guidance counselor investigates and apparently, it gets really dark. Also on Netflix, we’ve learned that the Season 4 “Love Is Blind” reunion show will stream live from LA on Sunday, April 16. Moving over to Disney+, “Mandalorian” fans were shocked to see Lizzo and Jack Black pop up on Episode 6 of Season 3. There are mixed reactions on social media. Some love it; others say the series is straying too far off course. In fact, one person tweeted, “Every clip I see from The Mandalorian looks like a Super Bowl ad for Doritos.”

In what may or may not be disappointing news — depending on how you feel about this coupling — Page Six has confirmed that Tom Brady and Reese Witherspoon are NOT dating. In fact, their reps say the two of them have never even met. So how did this rumor even get started? Well, shortly after Reese announced she and her husband Jim Toth were breaking up, someone wishing to remain “Anon, please” told Deux Moi that an “A-list actress who JUST announced her divorce is newly dating A-list NFL athlete who is also recently divorced.” So people figured it HAD to be Reese and Tom. But if it’s NOT them, now we have to figure out who it is!

Diddy wrote “I’ll Be Missing You” in memory of his late friend Notorious B.I.G. When it was released in 1997, it was a massive hit, largely because of he chose to sample “Every Breath You Take” from The Police, which was released in 1983. The only problem with that was, Diddy didn’t ask Sting for permission. And because of that, Diddy pays Sting $5K A DAY!!! A clip resurfaced from a 2018 interview Sting did with The Breakfast Club where they asked him it it’s true he gets $2K a day from Diddy for the sample, and Sting said yes! But Diddy cleared that up in a caption saying, “Nope. 5K a day. Love to my brother @OfficialSting.” In that interview, Sting said Diddy did ask for permission after the song had been released, but added, “We’re very good friends now.” And by the way, Sting said Diddy has to pay that every day for the rest of his life.

On “Watch What Happens Live” Tom Schwartz said that in August of last year, Tom Sandoval confessed he had a one-night stand with Raquel Leviss. By January, Sandoval told Schwartz the he had fallen in love with her. Schwartz said, “I was flabbergasted but not surprised because, I think, there’s a lot of people out there who kind of knew it was an open secret.” When Andy asked him why he didn’t tell Ariana Madix about the affair, he said Sandoval convinced him that he was in the process of breaking up with Ariana and that he and Raquel planned to reveal their relationship AFTER the Season 10 reunion was filmed on March 23. That plan fell apart when Ariana found a very explicit video on her boyfriend’s phone.

After launching her alcohol brand Delola yesterday, Jennifer Lopez faced a lot of backlash online. A lot of people are wondering why JLo would sell alcohol when she always says she doesn’t drink. Not only is it off brand, critics say it’s nothing more than a money grab. And others question why she would sell alcohol when she’s married to a guy who’s been to rehab multiple times. Jennifer may have seen all this coming, so she explained her reasoning behind launching the alcohol line in her “On the JLo” newsletter. “Delola” comes from Jennifer’s nickname, Lola. Jennifer explained, “Lola is my more playful, carefree side. She is the part of me that lets loose … She doesn’t come out all that often – but when she does, she goes hard… I realize that as I’ve gotten a little older, I’d like her to make more appearances. Life is to be enjoyed, and as much as I enjoy working hard, playing is just as important for a happy, balanced life!!! You might have seen pictures of me smiling with the occasional cocktail … that’s Lola living her best life.”
