The daily gossip: Cara Delevingne is sober after going to rehab last year, Sharon Stone says she lost custody of her son because of Basic Instinct, and more

1. Cara Delevingne is sober after going to rehab last year

Cara Delevingne is grateful for her "reality check." In a Vogue profile, the model revealed she is four months sober after paparazzi photos of her looking disheveled at an airport sparked concern last year. Delevingne told Vogue she had just returned from Burning Man in the pictures, and "I hadn't slept. I was not okay. It's heartbreaking because I thought I was having fun, but at some point it was like, 'Okay, I don't look well.'" This came after what Vogue described as Delevingne's "summer of self-​destructive and hedonistic revelry." But while the photos left her feeling embarrassed, Delevingne said she's "grateful" they gave her a wake-up call, leading her to check into rehab late last year and begin a 12-step program. She noted, though, "People want my story to be this after-school special where I just say, 'Oh look, I was an addict, and now I'm sober and that's it.' And it's not as simple as that. It doesn't happen overnight."

2. Sharon Stone says she lost custody of her son because of 'Basic Instinct'

One of the most infamous movie scenes of the '90s had disastrous consequences for its star. On the Table for Two podcast, Sharon Stone said she lost custody of her son in 2004 partially because of Basic Instinct, specifically the scene where she uncrosses her legs without underwear on. "The judge asked my child, my tiny little boy, 'Do you know your mother makes sex movies?'" Stone recalled, saying the fact that she "made that movie" was considered when assessing "what kind of parent" she was. "You saw maybe like a 16th of a second of possible nudity of me, and I lost custody of my child," she said. Stone has said she was tricked into the scene and was told viewers wouldn't be able to see anything. The whole thing affected her so severely, she said that she "ended up in the Mayo Clinic with extra heartbeats in the upper and lower chambers of my heart. … It literally broke my heart."

3. Seth Rogen reminds film critics that getting negative reviews 'sucks'

Seth Rogen has some criticism for film critics. On the Diary of a CEO podcast, the actor spoke about receiving harsh criticism throughout his career, suggesting that "if most critics knew how much [negative reviews] hurt the people that made the things that they are writing about, they would second guess the way they write these things." Rogen continued that getting bad reviews "f--king sucks" and is so "devastating" that some people "never recover," carrying this with them "literally their entire lives." He reflected on two particular projects of his that weren't warmly received, The Green Hornet and The Interview, saying the latter was "more painful" because "people more treated us like we had creatively failed, which sucked much worse." Overall, he gives the experience of being panned one star.

4. 'Jackass' star Bam Margera arrested for domestic violence

Jackass star Bam Margera has allegedly been a bit of a … well, you know what. Margera was arrested for domestic violence last week after a woman alleged he kicked her, TMZ reports. The alleged victim is reportedly Margera's girlfriend, though she apparently told police that she was kicked by her "husband." He was arrested on a charge of "corporal injury on a current or former spouse, cohabitant, dating partner or fellow parent" and released after posting $50,000 bail, TMZ says. This comes after Margera's wife filed for legal separation last month, which her lawyer said was sparked by him spending time with their son while allegedly under the influence. Margera was previously fired from the fourth Jackass film after reportedly violating a "wellness agreement" in his contract. He dropped a wrongful termination lawsuit last year and reportedly reached a settlement.

5. Planned 'Star Wars' movies reportedly canceled once again

There has been another disturbance in the franchise. The future of Star Wars is undergoing yet another shakeup, as Variety reports two of the planned upcoming films have been shelved. One is Rogue Squadron, which was set to be directed by Wonder Woman's Patty Jenkins and was announced with great fanfare — and even a teaser video starring Jenkins — in 2020. Despite Jenkins saying in December the movie was in "active development," Variety now says it isn't anymore. A separate Star Wars movie that was set to be produced by Marvel boss Kevin Feige is also no longer in active development, Variety says. A Star Wars film from Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi, though, is still happening, and Waititi would "most likely" appear in it, per Variety. But don't take that as gospel considering Lucasfilm cancels Star Wars projects more often than Star Wars baddies build new Death Stars.
