1. Selena Gomez tells fans to stop sending Hailey Bieber death threats

To quote her BFF, Selena Gomez thinks her fans need to calm down. The Only Murders in the Building star has revealed on Instagram that Hailey Bieber reached out to her to "let me know that she has been receiving death threats and such hateful negativity." For those just joining us, Bieber is married to Gomez's ex, Justin Bieber, and there has long been speculation of a feud between the two women. Most recently, fans claimed Hailey Bieber and Kylie Jenner dissed Gomez's eyebrows, and Gomez then defended Taylor Swift in the comments of a TikTok that described Bieber as a "mean girl." But Gomez has now chastised those sending Bieber hate, writing, "I've always advocated for kindness and really want this all to stop." Bieber then thanked Gomez for "speaking out," adding that the two have been discussing "how to move past this ongoing narrative." They are also now following each on Instagram, which is basically the celebrity gossip equivalent of the Treaty of Versailles.

She's worried, darling, about going into debt. Olivia Wilde has earned a win in her child custody battle with her ex, Jason Sudeikis, as a judge has rejected the Ted Lasso star's effort to move their case from California to New York, TMZ reports. At the same time, in court papers obtained by the Daily Mail, Wilde's lawyers claimed Sudeikis is dragging out the case to the point that their client may go into debt. "While Jason can afford to spin his wheels with filing after filing, Olivia cannot," the lawyers wrote, adding that Sudeikis is trying to "litigate Olivia into debt" and "seems intent on throwing whatever he can against the wall to see what will stick." The attorneys went on to say that while Sudeikis' "finances are presently unknown," Wilde "is aware that he is far wealthier than she is." The actress also slammed her ex by writing that Sudeikis' "underhandedness and bad faith in these proceedings is astounding."

Reese Witherspoon is no longer witherhusband. The Legally Blonde star revealed Friday that she and her husband of almost 12 years, Jim Toth, are getting divorced. "It is with a great deal of care and consideration that we have made the difficult decision to divorce," the pair said in a joint statement shared on social media. "We have enjoyed so many wonderful years together and are moving forward with deep love, kindness, and mutual respect for everything we have created together." Witherspoon and Toth, a talent agent, tied the knot in 2011, and their wedding anniversary is coming up in just two days. "Our biggest priority is our son and our entire family as we navigate this next chapter," they said, asking for "privacy at this time." Witherspoon was previously married to actor Ryan Phillippe, with whom she has two children.

He's gonna love her for a long, long time. Kate Bosworth and Justin Long have gotten engaged, People reports. The two sparked dating rumors last year after working on a movie together in 2021, and were Instagram official by May 2022. In a glowing birthday tribute in January, Long described Bosworth as "the most beautiful human being I've ever seen" and "my best friend." The two also recently sparked engagement rumors after Bosworth was spotted wearing a diamond ring at the Vanity Fair Oscar party. "Kate is just on cloud nine," a source told People. "She is showing off her engagement ring to friends." If Long's movie Drag Me to Hell is anything to go by, though, we'd strongly recommend Bosworth inspect the engagement ring closely to make sure it didn't accidentally get mixed up with a cursed button.

Yeah, we're thinking his back's broken. Keanu Reeves was asked by ComicBook.com about any accidents that might have occurred on the set of John Wick: Chapter 4, and the actor revealed a pretty gnarly one. "In terms of accidents, I made a mistake once and I cut a gentleman's head open," Reeves admitted. "So that really f--king sucked, excuse my language." The actor didn't provide details about the incident. But that's not all, as Reeves also recounted that "one guy got hit by a car" on set and "had to go to the hospital," though he was thankfully okay. "There's some bruising and aches and pains," Reeves said, though he assured fans that "no humans were harmed in the filming of this motion picture." Hi, I'm Johnny Knoxville, and welcome to John Wick!
