“Pose” star Mj Rodriguez is weighing in on Caitlyn Jenner after the Republican gubernatorial hopeful in California declared that she thinks allowing trans athletes to compete according to their gender identity in high school sports “just isn’t fair.” “It’s unfortunate that she’s one of our sisters saying these things,” Rodriguez tells me on the “Just for Variety” podcast. “But with that, I love her from a distance. I don’t want to spew any hate on her because she is human. But I do think there needs to probably be a learning curve…That’s something that she probably has to deal with. I think she’ll figure it out on her own when there’s a depletion of the community that probably just doesn’t want to deal with her.”
Rodriguez is still glowing from some of the best reviews of her career for her work...

Kylie Jenner isn't letting a little baby bump slow her down.
Just a day after news broke that she is expecting her first child with rapper boyfriend Travis Scott, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star headed to Las Vegas to see her beau perform at the iHeartRadio Music Festival on Saturday.
Jenner, 20, kept her bump hidden underneath a black oversized T-shirt, which she paired with brown pleather pants and white Nike sneakers. From her perch backstage at the T-Mobile Arena, she watched Scott, 25, perform alongside DJ Khaled, Chance The Rapper, Demi Lovato and French Montana.

Image Source: Getty / Michael Buckner Katy Perry has had a few of Hollywood's sexiest men on her arm in recent years, but before she romanced the likes of John Mayer and Orlando Bloom, she was married to British comedian Russell Brand. The two first got together in 2009 after she threw a water bottle at his head during rehearsals for the MTV Video Music Awards. "I was really annoyed but when she came up to me she was so mouthy, smart, and cocky," he said of their encounter. "It made me really interested." Katy and Russell got engaged that New Year's Eve during a trip to India, and they tied the knot in October 2010. Russell filed for divorce after just 14 months of marriage, and while they've both clearly moved on, their wedding facts aren't any less interesting. Despite neither being of South Asian descent or practicing the Hindu faith, their wedding massively incorporated both.

Image Source: Getty / Michael Buckner After an '80s heyday of toning tushes on tapes, Richard Simmons continued to be in the pop culture stratosphere for decades, until recently. The lively fitness guru would appear on late-night segments, would teach classes at his Beverly Hills studio, and was always ready to pose with fans for a picture. Then, in 2014, he stopped showing up for classes. He stopped talking to his friends. He no longer bounded out of his home to meet buses full of tourists - he didn't leave his home at all. The disappearing act has become the subject of a hit podcast, Missing Richard Simmons. It's hosted by Dan Taberski, who, above all, seems genuinely concerned about a generous and caring man who he had come to think of as a friend. While we're still not exactly sure what Richard is up to or if he'll emerge any time soon,...

Aziz Ansari, Amy Schumer, Jennifer Lawrence, and Chris Pratt all hung out together this weekend in Atlanta, and to our great disappointment, we weren't invited. But thanks to the power of social media, we can (digitally) join in on their fun.
Ansari posted a video to Instagram (or a "short film," if you will) in which he swings on a swing while his "Parks and Rec" costar Pratt stands nearby, giving his best blue steel. The quick clip, entitled "hi guys" (we're guessing because that's what Ansari shouts as he swings back and forth), also has some major star power behind the scenes, according to Ansari: Lawrence directed, Schumer served as director of photography, and Ansari, Pratt, Schumer, and Schumer's sister and writing partner, Kim Caramele,...

Like "Saved By the Bell" before it, Lifetime is targeting another beloved sitcom for a behind-the-scenes movie: "Full House."
The Hollywood Reporter writes that the network is currently working on "The Unauthorized Full House Story," which will focus on the men, women, and children who made up the cast of the wildly popular Tgif staple. Per THR:
In the same vein that its Saved By the Bell pic did, Lifetime's Full House Story will look at the rise of the cast - including John Stamos, Bob Saget and the Olsen twins - and explore the pressure on them to balance idyllic family life on the show with the more complicated reality of their own lives outside the series. Additionally, it will look at the warm bond that grew between the cast as the show became one of America's most beloved family sitcoms.

Have mercy: Could the Tanner family be making a small-screen comeback soon? Yes, according to a new report.
TVLine writes that Netflix is on the cusp of greenlighting a "Full House" reunion series, dubbed "Fuller House," that would follow members of the ABC sitcom family as adults. According to the site, the 13-episode series would focus on D.J. Tanner (Candace Cameron Bure) and best friend Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber), and feature guest appearances from "Full House" regulars Bob Saget, John Stamos, and Dave Coulier.
Rumors of a proposed "Full House" reboot swirled last summer, though that report stated that Jodie Sweetin, who played middle sister Stephanie Tanner, would also be involved. TVLine's report makes no mention of Sweetin's potential involvement; we're guessing that the Olsen twins are also not planning on appearing.

After recent beloved "Saturday Night Live" alum Bill Hader hosted the show this past weekend, fellow onetime "SNL" star Chris Rock has also booked his return.
The sketch series announced on Twitter Tuesday that Rock will host "SNL" on November 1, nearly two decades after his only previous hosting gig, way back in 1996. The comedian was a cast member on the show from 1990-1993.

(Chris Pratt, who hosted the season premiere, is the only first-timer of the bunch so far.)
The comedian will be joined by musical guest Prince, making his third appearance on the program, following stints in 1981 and 2006.
Rock's episode airs November 1 at 11:30 p.

In "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," Caesar (Andy Serkis) led his fellow imprisoned apes to freedom. "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes," set 10 years later, finds Caesar the leader of an evolving community of apes while the human population is in ruins thanks to the devastating "Simian Flu." A chance encounter between humans and apes threatens to destroy the peace for both species in this sequel, which opens Friday.
Moviefone traveled to San Francisco to chat with Serkis about why acting in a unitard is no different from any other costume, his role model for Caesar, and which of his films scarred his children for life.
Moviefone: Between this, "King Kong," and" The Lord of The Rings," you've kind of become the Motion Capture King.
Andy Serkis: I don't think I am, actually. I'm just an actor who's around at a time when performance capture is evolving.

Jennifer Lawrence has already proven that's she got a good head on her shoulders, if her recent comments about understanding some of the backlash against her are any indication. But the actress has also revealed herself to have a good heart, too, thanks to a selfless act involving her fellow Oscar-winning actress, Lupita Nyong'o.
In an interview with Marie Claire, Lawrence said that in the 2014 Oscar race pitting her against fellow Best Supporting Actress nominee (and eventual winner) Lupita Nyong'o, the Academy member and "American Hustle" star knew for whom she would cast her vote.
"I was very happy I voted for Lupita," Lawrence told Marie Claire of the "12 Years a Slave" actress. "It's beautiful when you watch something good happen to somebody when it's well deserved."
Lawrence's gesture -- especially when it came at her own expense -- speaks volumes to how she views fellow high-profile actresses, including another Oscar winner.

Well, it was only a matter of time before Lupita Nyong'o, recent Best Supporting Actress Oscar winner for "12 Years a Slave," landed her first big post-Oscar Hollywood gig (and no, "Non-Stop" doesn't count). Well, that gig has just been landed, although it's probably not what you were expecting. It seems that Nyong'o will voice Rakcha, a mother wolf, in Disney's big-screen retelling of "The Jungle Book," at least according to the Hollywood Reporter.
But that's not all. The same report indicates that Scarlett Johansson, currently making waves with her provocative role in Jonathan Glazer's deeply brilliant and bizarre "Under the Skin" (not to mention storming the box office in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier"), has also been cast in the new film, as the villainous python Kaa. (In the original 1967 Disney animated classic, Kaa was very much a dude, essayed by legendary Disney voice actor Sterling Holloway.) Last year,...

Just four movies into his career, Chadwick Boseman has already played a football legend (Floyd "The Franchise" Little in "The Express") and a baseball icon (Jackie Robinson in "42"). Now, he's back in the game playing a fictional outside linebacker named Vontae Mack who hopes to be the Cleveland Browns' first draft pick in Ivan Reitman's "Draft Day." That puts him on the receiving end of some highly charged conversations with Kevin Costner as Browns general manager Sonny Weaver -- although all their scenes but one are over the phone.
So Boseman's played two sports greats while acting opposite the likes of Costner and, in "42," Harrison Ford -- where do you go from there? How about playing James Brown in the upcoming "Get on Up" or the Egyptian god of wisdom, Thoth, in 2016's "Gods of Egypt"? If you need a legend -- a real one or otherwise -- it...

In case you weren't already excited about "Jurassic World," star Chris Pratt is here to help get you pumped up about the long-anticipated fourth installment of the "Jurassic Park" franchise, which has already started production.
Pratt's enthusiasm for the project has already been well-established, but it's no less charming and contagious every time he talks about the film on social media. Last week, he was at it again, revealing that the cast has started doing camera tests for the movie, and that he's finally gotten to meet some of his costars, including Ty Simpkins ("Iron Man 3") and Nick Robinson ("Kings of Summer").
Camera test day on Jurassic World. Met @NickJRobinson and @TYSIMPKINSactor both of whom are great! Shot tests on 65mm. #thatsAwesome #film

Over the weekend, at a talk held by the School of Film and Television at Los Angeles' Loyola Marymount University, Disney chairman Alan Horn discussed where, in the process, the studio is with the forthcoming space-set sequel "Star Wars: Episode VII." And while Horn is predictably pretty cryptic, he does let loose some clues as to what state the production is in. And it's probably both further along then you imagine and not at all as far as you'd think.
When asked what the toughest part about the new film is, Horn immediately says, "Casting." Horn went on: "We have a couple of things... I can't disclose what we thought."
When the interviewer asks if they start shooting in six weeks, Horn corrects him by stating that, "We're actually shooting some of it now. We're back against it." While the fact that they are already shooting is something of a surprise,...

A trio of Oscar winners are teaming up for a new project that just may land them all back in awards contention.
Meryl Streep, Jonathan Demme, and Diablo Cody are all reportedly attached to a movie being dubbed a "prestige package" that is currently making the rounds in search of a studio and production backing. Streep would star, Demme would direct, and Cody would write the screenplay.
TheWrap reports, "Streep would play a woman who abandoned her family when she was younger to find fame and fortune in California. Decades later, she returns home to be a mother again." It's unclear if the as-yet-untitled project is a drama or a comedy, though judging by Cody's involvement, it would likely contain elements of both genres.
Streep has just come off her record 18th Academy Award nomination for last year's "August: Osage County," and currently has three little gold guys under her belt.

It's been more than 30 years since they've appeared together on the big screen, and now stoner comedy duo Cheech & Chong are planning on lighting up (cinemas) again.
In an interview with Celeb Stoner, Tommy Chong revealed that he and partner Cheech Marin were working on a new Cheech & Chong concept with "Super Troopers" director Jay Chandrasekhar. The pair will star in the film, which is set at a fictional music festival.
"He's working on a script right now for us," Chong told the site of their collaboration with Chandrasekhar. "We've had some preliminary meetings. It looks really good. It looks really funny.
