Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron made a movie with the unlikely working title “Flarsky”. The movie was known to be a comedy, but the title was so WTF everyone sort of wondered if Rogen and his creative partner, Evan Goldberg, had maybe pushed things too far. Turns out: No. Retitled The Long Shot, the movie tested incredibly well—so well, it was pushed from a February death-date to prime summer real estate in June 2019. Full Story

There’s messy, and then there’s Miranda Lambert. This woman is a hurricane. Last week, Lainey mentioned that Miranda had a salad tossing (no double entendre intended) incident at a Nashville steakhouse. She got very fired up because someone insulted her “friend.” In the TMZ video Full Story

If there was an Oscar for Best Performance on Social Media – and there probably will be one day – the inaugural winner should be Will Smith.
