Media Manipulation Bad Moms, Bad Trailer Last week, Lainey wrote about Mila Kunis revealing her former f-ckbuddy relationship with Ashton Kutcher on Howard Stern. It’s notable because Mila and Ashton are privacy scolds, except on the red carpet. And when she’s talking about her pregnancy on Ellen. Besides that, they are inscrutable!

Smutty Surgery Et Tu, Gisele? It hasn’t been a great week for Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen.
