Christian Bale told GQ in a cover story published Wednesday (October 5th) that he served as a "mediator" between director David O. Russell and Amy Adams during filming of the American Hustle in 2012.

Adams previously told British GQ that the director yelled at her and made her cry almost daily during filming.

He told the outlet, "If I can have some sense of understanding of where it's coming from, then I do tend to attempt to be a mediator. That's just in my nature, to try to say, ‘Hey, come on, let's go and sit down and figure that out. There's gotta be a way of making this all work.'"

Bale had previously worked with Russell on The Fighter and can be seen in his latest movie, Amsterdam.

Brad Pitt Allegedly 'Choked' One Of His Kids And 'Struck Another In The Face' On 2016 Flight

On Tuesday (October 4th), Angelina Jolie filed a cross-complaint in the legal battle over a French winery she and Brad Pitt once owned together. The court documents detail abuse allegations against Pitt from the plane incident in 2016 that led to their divorce.

"When one of the children verbally defended Jolie, Pitt lunged at his own child and Jolie grabbed him from behind to stop him. To get Jolie off his back, Pitt threw himself backwards into the airplane's seats injuring Jolie's back and elbow," the filing reads. "The children rushed in and all bravely tried to protect each other. Before it was over, Pitt choked one of the children and struck another in the face. Some of the children pleaded with Pitt to stop. They were all frightened."

The documents also claim that Pitt "periodically emerged from the back of the plane to yell and swear at them" over "many tense hours" on the flight, and "at one point, he poured beer on Jolie; at another, he poured beer and red wine on the children."

The filing states that Jolie "has gone to great lengths to try to shield their children from reliving the pain Pitt inflicted on the family that day, but when Pitt filed this lawsuit seeking to reassert control over Jolie's financial life and compel her to rejoin her ex-husband as a frozen-out business partner, Pitt forced Jolie to publicly defend herself on these issues for the first time."

Constance Wu Opens Up About Sexual Harassment In Emotional Interview

Constance Wu broke into tears on Late Night With Seth Myers Monday (October 3rd) while discussing the sexual harassment she experienced on the sitcom Fresh Off the Boat. Wu details the allegations in her new memoir Making a Scene.

The Crazy Rich Asians star shared that she "didn't want to write" about what happened during the first two seasons of the show. "That was the last essay I wrote for the book, and only after being, like, pushed by my editor, like, 'You should write about this. This is what people want to hear.' And I was like, 'I'm done with that chapter in my life,'" she said.

Wu writes in her book that one of the producers on Fresh Off the Boat dictated what she should wear, such as "short skirts," and who she should be friends with, among other accusations. She also claims that he touched her inappropriately at a basketball game.

"I had never done anything big before. I had just graduated from being a waitress. I was scared of being fired," she said. "Once I, sort of, felt a little bit of job security then I started saying no to this producer, which infuriated him. But it was okay, so I thought, 'You know what? I handled it. I don't need to stain the reputation of this show or of this producer. I can just keep it inside,'" she told Seth Myers.

The Hustlers actress added that all of this happened "before the #MeToo movement" as well. "I was just like, 'Nobody's going to believe me.' … I didn't know what to do."

Kim Kardashian Pays Over $1 Million To SEC For Promoting Cryptocurrency

Gary Gensler, the chairman of the SEC, said on Monday (October 3rd), "This case is a reminder that, when celebrities or influencers endorse investment opportunities, including crypto asset securities, it doesn't mean that those investment products are right for all investors."

Jameela Jamil Condemns 2023 Met Gala Theme

She Hulk actress Jameela Jamil is speaking out against the recent decision to choose controversial designer Karl Lagerfeld for the theme of the 2023 Met Gala. Vogue announced news of the theme last week.

"This man... was indeed, supremely talented, but used his platform in such a distinctly hateful way, mostly towards women, so repeatedly and up until the last years of his life, showing no remorse, offering no atonement, no apology, no help to groups he attacked... there was no explanation for his cruel outbursts," Jamil wrote on Instagram Saturday (October 1st).

The Good Place actress continued, "Those groups were women who were sexually assaulted, the entire me too movement, gay couples who wanted to adopt, all fat people, specifically fat women, and some of his greatest harm was against Muslim refugees, and the disgusting way he spoke about people fleeing their homes for fear of their lives."

She noted that saying her piece would "probably end" her relationship with Vogue. Regardless, she pointed out, "Why is THIS who we celebrate when there are so many AMAZING designers out there who aren't bigoted white men? What happened to everyone's principles and ‘advocacy.' You don't get to stand for justice in these areas, and then attend the celebration of someone who reveled in his own public disdain for marginalized people."

Marlon had called them in advance and asked them to watch the Academy Awards, which they did. As they saw me, up on stage, refusing that Academy Award for the stereotypes within the film industry, and mentioning Wounded Knee in South Dakota, it would break the media boycott," she told Variety recently.

Whoopi Goldberg Says Producers Were 'Trying Forever' To Get 'Till' Movie Made

Whoopi Goldberg spoke with The Hollywood Reporter on Saturday (October 1st) at the world premiere of Till, a film about the brutal murder of Emmett Till in 1955 and his mother Mamie Till-Mobley's subsequent fight for justice. Goldberg is a producer on the film and stars as Emmett's grandmother Alma Carthan.

Goldberg told the outlet that producers were "trying forever" to make the movie, but the movement for racial justice following the tragic deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery is what helped them finally secure funding. "People thought we should do some stories about Black people, after all that went on over the last couple of years. I always say, we got popular. We got back in vogue and people started saying maybe we should be doing more, we should be telling these stories and we got in through that and MGM's Orion division said, ‘We should do this.'"

She added, "Yes, thank you. Because we've been trying forever, just forever, to get it done. And people say, ‘No, it's an important story and we really feel for it.' And it's like, ‘So you're not going to give us any money for this?'"

Despite Blonde topping the charts after being released on Netflix last week, a lot of people are upset about the Marilyn Monroe biopic, according to Variety. This includes Gone Girl actress Emily Ratajkowski, who called out the film on TikTok for "fetishizing female pain."

For Ratajkowski's part, she said that she hasn't watched the film yet, but she's "pissed off." Mentioning Amy Winehouse, Britney Spears, and Princess Diana as examples, Ratajkowski said, "I'm not surprised to hear that it's yet another movie fetishizing female pain, even in death … We love to fetishize female pain … We obsess over dead girls and serial killers."

The iCarly actress added that she wants this to change. "So I have a proposal. I think we all need to be a little more pissed off. 2022, baby, is my bitch era. I think we should all be in our bitch era," she said.
