Celebrity Social Media, September 25, 2025

Regina Hall is so freaking charming. She appeared on Amy Poehler’s Good Hang podcast (their booking producer does a great job) and was asked about working with Leonardo DiCaprio. Her timing is excellent with this joke. Even caught Amy by surprise. 

Leonardo DiCaprio is being so amenable on this press tour, not just enduring it but kind of enjoying it at times? And it’s very different than how he usually is. As Lainey pointed out, he’s fully doing social media. He’s usually professional but not this relaxed. I think he believes in the movie, enjoys the cast and wants it to do well. And I wonder if his girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti might be the influence here. She’s not super revealing with her business all over Instagram but she also doesn’t hide. 

Alexandra Grant seems lovely and Keanu Reeves is awesome and they seem very happy together. That’s why we should leave them alone.

 

If you read anything this week, make it The Billionaire, the Psychedelics and the Best-Selling Memoir in the New York Times. It’s about Amy Griffin’s heavily promoted book The Tell, a memoir about recovered memories of childhood sexual abuse. This piece is well-reported and raises some very uncomfortable questions about Amy’s account and how it ties into a young victim in the foster care system who lived in the same town and was abused by a teacher (not the one Amy wrote about). Amy’s lawyer came across as pretty cagey in the story. 

Now the PR machine is fired up: is she going to address this at all, or does it even matter, considering her book is already a bestseller and her exhaustive list of celebrity friends will absolutely stick by her side? There’s the legal option, suing the NYT or the unnamed woman in the story. But would open her up to a lot more scrutiny. 

Why does Michael Douglas call Catherine Zeta-Jones his birthday “sister”? Why not partner or twin or… wife?! I also enjoy her post because she says “once in a lifetime” and they’ve been married for about 25 years, celebrating their birthdays together. This is excellent celebrity couple captioning, give me this over “my person” any day of the week. 

Abby Wambach gives some great advice to parents with children in sports: do NOT watch practices. Coming from a professional athlete, this means a lot and her point – that practice is to get better, not to perform – makes so much sense. Even though Abby is an Olympian, there will of course be parents who will vehemently disagree because they “need” to be there. It’s already in the comments.
