Zack Sharf Digital News Director Mark Ruffalo appeared on “Hot Ones” ahead of the release of “Poor Things” and got asked about the time he accidentally popped Channing Tatum‘s eardrum on the set of “Foxcatcher.” The 2014 sports drama, directed by Bennett Miller, starred the two actors as Olympic wrestlers Mark and David Schultz. Ruffalo played David, who was murdered in January 1996 by multimillionaire John du Pont (played by Steve Carell in the film) after John recruited the brothers to help train them. “[Channing] did ask me to slap the shit out of him, and it was easy to do because he’d beaten the shit out of me so many times,” Ruffalo wisecracked when the topic of Tatum’s popped eardrum was brought up.

new court documents.Remini — who is suing the church for defamation — claims in the court declaration that she was made to “raise money for Scientology causes led by Tom Cruise” after questioning the whereabouts of Shelly Miscavige, the wife of church leader David Miscavige who has not been seen in public in 2007.Additionally, Remini, who was involved in Scientology from 1979 to 2013, alleges in the latest court filing that she was “forced to donate money to name a seat in a Scientology auditorium after Suri Cruise.”The declaration, first reported byTony Ortega of The Underground Bunker, was submitted in response to the church’s legal attempts to have Remini’s lawsuit, filed in August, tossed out of court.“This lawsuit is ludicrous and allegations are pure lunacy,” a Scientology spokeswoman told The Post of Remini’s lawsuit and follow-up declaration. “The Church is not intimidated by Remini’s latest act of blatant harassment and attempt to prevent truthful free speech.”A representative for Cruise did not reply to a request for comment.Remini, who is suing the church for unspecified damages, claims the transgression that led to her alleged punishment began while she was attending Cruise and Katie Holmes’ $2.5 million wedding in 2006 at a castle in Bracciano, Italy.Within Scientology, the ceremony was billed as the “Wedding of the Century,” according to the declaration.

Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Ruffalo are reflecting on their shared history!

Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Ruffalo first met 28 years ago, through their girlfriends at the time, before hunting a serial killer in David Fincher’s “Zodiac,” and well before battling Thanos in Marvel’s “Avengers” movies. The milage on their friendship shows in their shared enthusiasm for their electrifying performances this year: Downey in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” as the calculating U.S. Atomic Energy Commission official Lewis Strauss, and Ruffalo in Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” as Duncan Wedderburn, an unscrupulous libertine. Both actors stretched far beyond their well-established movie star personas, and they were eager to ask each other about how they’d done it. Robert Downey Jr.: We really met when Fincher cast us in “Zodiac.” Mark Ruffalo: What a wild ride that was.
