The daily gossip: Billie Eilish deleted all social media apps off her phone, Rebel Wilson was banned from Disneyland for a month, and more

1. Billie Eilish, an 'internet kid,' deleted all social media apps off her phone

When she's away from Twitter, she's happier than ever. On Conan O'Brien's podcast, Billie Eilish revealed she doesn't look at social media anymore and has now "deleted it all off my phone." The "Bad Guy" singer called this "such a huge deal for me" considering she grew up with the internet. "Being a preteen and a teenager on the internet, those were my people," she said. "I was one of them." But Eilish described the "stinky" experience of becoming famous as an "internet kid" and finding that "slowly, the videos that I'm watching, and things that I see on the internet, are about me" — including one "very serious" video she recently came across explaining why "Billie Eilish is a horrible person." She also said it freaks her out "how gullible" the internet makes people, admitting she personally believes "anything I read" online despite knowing she shouldn't. Therefore, I am ... logging off.

2. Rebel Wilson was banned from Disneyland for a month

The bathroom selfie policy at the happiest place on Earth is no joke. On The Daily Show, Rebel Wilson explained why she was once temporarily banned from Disneyland. "I took a photo in a secret bathroom inside Disneyland, which is illegal, and I got officially banned for 30 days," the Pitch Perfect star said. But the Mouse was surprisingly accommodating of her schedule when instituting this ban. Wilson said Disney asked her "what 30 days do you not want to come" to the park, and she told them "June would be fine." A month may not sound like very long to not visit Disneyland, but it is if you're Wilson, who admitted she goes there "every weekend and every important holiday and every important life event" and spent her 40th birthday sleeping inside the park. She even recently got engaged there. Sounds like she's ready to embrace her role as the official spokesperson for Disney adults everywhere.

3. Willem Dafoe had Emma Stone slap him 20 times for a scene where he isn't on camera

Working with Emma Stone was a real slap in the face for Willem Dafoe, and that's exactly the way he wanted it. A New York Times profile of Dafoe describes a moment in his upcoming movie — And — where Stone's character slaps him. Dafoe is off-camera in the scene, so he normally wouldn't even have to be on set, let alone get slapped. But according to the Times, Dafoe "insisted that the move would look more genuine if he were actually being slapped, and then took the (staged) blow some 20 times." This was just one example of how Dafoe would often come to set when he didn't technically need to. "That's what you want from actors. To want to be part of it in any way," director Yorgos Lanthimos told the Times. Plot details for And haven't been revealed, though, from this anecdote, we're assuming the film is loosely based on the 2022 Oscars.

4. Steven Spielberg can only revisit '5 or 6' of his own films

The curse of being Steven Spielberg may be never getting to fully enjoy a Steven Spielberg movie. On The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the legendary director revealed he has only made a handful of films that he can revisit. One of those is E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, which he correctly described as a "pretty perfect movie." But of his more than 30 films, Spielberg said there are "about five or six" that "I can watch again." He declined to name which ones make the list in addition to E.T., though he noted that he rarely revisits his own work, in part because he'll "see things that would have been a better idea" in retrospect. That's why he's now working on The Fabelmans 2, in which he rewrites history and makes Jurassic Park a musical.

5. 'Scream VI' marketing reportedly behind Ghostface sightings across the country

Someone has taken their love of viral marketing one step too far. Ahead of the release of Scream VI, there have been reports of real-life Ghostface sightings in numerous cities, à la that creepy clown business in 2016. In California, for example, the Sonoma Police Department said officers received "multiple calls" about "an individual standing" wearing the iconic white mask from the slasher franchise, per KRON. This, according to Variety, is all part of the marketing campaign for Scream VI, and Sonoma police confirmed the person in their case "was hired by a company through Paramount to promote" the film. There were also Ghostface sightings in New Orleans and St. Louis, according to Variety. But none have popped up in Australia just yet, suggesting Paramount is leaving a glorious "hello, Sydney" pun on the table.
