Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer “Rust” armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed is seeking to block the appointment of a new prosecutor in her involuntary manslaughter case, after the first one resigned. Gutierrez Reed and actor Alec Baldwin have both been charged in the death of Halyna Hutchins, the cinematographer who was accidentally shot on set in October 2021. In a brief filed on Friday, Gutierrez Reed’s lawyer argued that Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies is misusing the New Mexico statute that allows for the appointment of an outside prosecutor. “The statute is not designed to give district attorneys a taxpayer-funded supplemental ‘war chest’ to prosecute cases involving ‘high profile’ actors or individuals,” wrote defense lawyer Jason Bowles.

Gisele Bündchen said she and Bridget Moynahan have forged a "great relationship" that started as a "challenging" situation when the "Blue Bloods" actress found out she was pregnant with Tom Brady’s child after he started dating Bündchen.  The former Victoria’s Secret supermodel and the Super Bowl champion had only been together a couple months in 2007 when the athlete told Bündchen his ex was expecting.  Bündchen, 42, called it a "challenging situation for all of us," but said Moynahan, 51, and Brady’s son Jack, 15, became her "bonus child" and made her realize how much she wanted children of her own.  "Jack came into our lives, and I felt so blessed. And it kind of awakened in me this desire of being a mom," Bündchen told Vanity Fair in an interview published Wednesday.

Tom Cruise doesn't appear to be on a mission to see his youngest daughter, a new report suggests. A source told Page Six that the "Top Gun: Maverick" star has not seen Suri Cruise, 16, "in a very long time and is not a part of her life."Tom's relationship with his daughter began growing estranged after his 2011 split from Suri's mom, Katie Holmes. Their relationship has only grown more distant, the report alleges.There has been speculation — and, to an extent, confirmation — for over a decade that Scientology, Tom's preferred religion, played a role in the estrangement.

Gordon Cox Theater Editor Celebrated playwright Tom Stoppard has a Broadway success on his hands with “Leopoldstadt,” his (very) loosely autobiographical play now in the sixth month of a long run currently set to close in July. He’s very pleased about that — but right now there’s something else that’s got him thoroughly distressed: Writer’s block. Listen to this week’s “Stagecraft” podcast below:

Kate Aurthur editor “Vanderpump Rules” — after two fallow seasons of grim plots and uninspired storylines — has risen from the ashes in Season 10, and its ratings are spiking as a result. The show’s 10th season was already filled with old school “Vanderpump Rules” drama, caused largely by fallout from breakups among the core cast. That resurgence was before the March 3 revelation about the show’s cheating scandal — aka, the #Scandoval — made international headlines, with even the New York Times offering an explainer for its readership. Now, Bravo is further stoking the fandom’s ardor for more, dropping the show’s midseason teaser, and within it revealing the first look at the episode filmed earlier this month: Production restarted on Season 10 after the news broke about Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss’ months-long affair, which blew up his nine-year relationship with Ariana Madix.

A new mystery is afoot.

As a young single mum living in a tiny Cheetham Hill flat, Bridget Lea only ever wanted what was best for her two daughters.

Tim Allen and Patricia Richardson rose to fame when they starred as on-screen spouses in the hit 1990s sitcom "Home Improvement." The 69-year-old actor and the 72-year-old actress played Tim "The Toolman" Taylor and Jill Taylor for eight seasons from 1991 to 1999. It was the first acting role for Allen, who was previously known for his work as a stand-up comedian. In an interview with Fox News Digital, Richardson said that she didn't believe Allen received enough recognition for his acting talent during his time on "Home Improvement." "People don't give Tim enough credit for the acting that he was doing," the "Strong Medicine" alum said.

Things have reportedly become heated between “Vanderpump Rules” co-stars Scheana Shay and Raquel Leviss over the latter’s alleged affair with Tom Sandoval.

Well, this didn’t age well…

Queen Camilla and her family. It has been announced that her brother-in-law of more than 50 years has passed away. Simon Elliot with his wife AnnabelBusinessman and land owner Simon Elliot – who was married to Camilla's younger sister Annabel – was close to the Queen Consort.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Tim Robbins is backing Woody Harrelson’s demand for Hollywood to end COVID protocols on film and television sets. Sharing Variety’s article about Harrelson’s opinion, Robbins told his Twitter followers: “Woody is right. Time to end this charade.” The “Shawshank Redemption” actor tagged SAG-AFTRA and the Actors’ Equity Association so that both organizations could see his plea. In an interview with The New York Times last month, Harrelson said it’s “absurd” that COVID protocols are still in effect on Hollywood sets. He added, “I don’t think that anybody should have the right to demand that you’re forced to do the testing, forced to wear the mask and forced to get vaccinated three years on. I’m just like, let’s be done with this nonsense.”
