Charlize Theron Was Scared Of Tom Hardy On The Set Of 'Mad Max: Fury Road'

A new book outlines the feud between Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy on the set of Mad Max: Fury Road.

According to an excerpt from Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of Mad Max: Fury Road, published in Vanity Fair, Theron grew scared of her costar after they argued about his chronic tardiness.

Crew members told author Kyle Buchanan that the dustup occurred after the Monster actress was forced to wait for three hours, in full costume, for Hardy to show up on set. When the Venom actor finally arrived, she started screaming at him, demanding he be fined for being late, and accusing him of being disrespectful.

Camera operator Mark Goellnicht said Hardy charged up to her and added, "He was quite aggressive. She really felt threatened, and that was the turning point."

The Oscar winning actress said, "I was in survival mode; I was really scared s–tless. It was like two parents in the front of the car. We were either fighting or we were icing each other — I don't know which one is worse — and they had to deal with it in the back. It was horrible! We should not have done that; we should have been better. I can own up to that."

Hardy addressed his actions in the book as well and said, "In hindsight, I was in over my head in many ways. The pressure on both of us was overwhelming at times."

The "Dunkirk" actor continued, "What she needed was a better, perhaps more experienced partner in me … I'd like to think that now that I'm older and uglier, I could rise to that occasion."

Husband Of 'Rust' Cinematographer Is 'So Angry' With Alec Baldwin

Matthew Hutchins said in an interview scheduled to air on Today Thursday (Feb. 24th), "The idea that the person holding the gun and causing it to discharge is not responsible is absurd to me."

He adds, "Watching him, I just felt so angry. I was just so angry to see him talk about her death so publicly in such a detailed way and then to not accept any responsibility after having just described killing her."

Baldwin told Stephanopoulos in his December 2nd, 2021 interview that he never pulled the trigger on the gun that killed Halyna on the set of Rust last October and that it was unlikely he'd ever face criminal charges.

He continued, “She, more than anyone, understands the reality of syndicated television — you can't go to the marketplace and sell a show that's the 'Maybe Wendy Show.'

Shepherd celebrated the news in a statement: "OMG! I am so excited to have my dream come true and debut my very own talk show SHERRI in the fall. I can't wait until I return to NY to host the show and merge everything I love … pop culture, talk, entertainment and comedy.

Again thanks for your continuing concern and support."

In response to this, Bragman told People, "I'm not honestly convinced of the source of that social media post, so when my old friend Wendy FaceTimes me personally and we alone have a chance to discuss recent events, together we can figure out the best path forward.”

Kerry Washington Poses As Rosa Parks In Black 'Herstory' Tribute

Washington posted a photo of herself recreating Parks’ 1955 mugshot, which she featured alongside the original photo on Instagram Monday (February 21st).

Fighting, boycotting, marching, and even working as an investigator for the NAACP, advocating against sexual assaults on Black women.”

She continued, “It was Rosa Park’s act of civil disobedience on that bus that sparked a revolution. She took that seat in order to take a stand. That seat on the bus was her fighting stance - and so we continue the fight today, in whatever way we can! Lets ask ourselves, what can we do! Sit. Stand. March. Make calls. Volunteer. Talk to your family and friends. Do whatever you can and however you can. Rosa taught us that. And we are forever grateful. It was an honor to honor her.”

Last week, Washington posted another “BlackHERstory” tribute for Black athlete Wilma Rudoph, who took home three gold medals from the Olympic Games in Rome in 1960.

Idris Elba Plans To 'Lean Away' From Acting To Focus On Music

Idris Elba has music on his mind. The Luther actor told Vanity Fair recently that he’s planning to “lean away from the acting work" to put effort into making music.

"Some may think, 'Well, it will be the death of your acting if your music's s---.' I've dealt with the internal struggle of that over the years. So now I'm at peace and I've chosen: This is what I'm doing, and I'm going to do it. Some will love it and some will hate it," he said.

Elba didn’t just play a deejay on Netflix’s Turn Up Charlie series, he actually performed as one at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s royal wedding reception in 2018 and at Coachella in 2019.

"I've worked my whole life to play at Coachella. I made it at 46! I nearly passed out when I found out," he said at the time.

Elba previously told People that he’s loved music since he was just four years old, saying that he was "mesmerized by the turntable going around and around."

Commenting on the decision to take a break from acting in order to achieve his music-making goals, Elba said, "The thing about making music is it's a very consuming process. It's very difficult to shoot a movie and then go off into the studio or make a song. It's like trying to build a soufflé while making a brick wall."

Rosie O’Donnell had her foot in her mouth after seeing Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas at Nobu in Malibu, California, over the weekend. O’Donnell took to TikTok on Monday (February 21st) to share her blunder, which she said embarrassed her son, his girlfriend, and Fran Drescher.

Some users took issue with the way O’Donnell told this story, as she hadn’t yet learned Priyanka’s name. "'Someone Chopra' and 'the Chopra wife' sound worse to me than the mistake. I mean, the device for making TikToks also has Google," one user wrote. Another commented, “Her name is Priyanka."

In a follow-up video, O’Donnell apologized to Priyanka, adding that the Matrix: Resurrections actress “wasn't rude,” but that the interaction “was just awkward."

"Anyway, Priyanka is her name. Priyanka — I hope I'm pronouncing that right. I just want to apologize to her and to everyone who thought that it was really inappropriate of me. Sorry, sometimes I f--- up. I did at Nobu," O’Donnell said.

Nicole Ari Parker added, "Comments like that say more about the person saying them. What's too much? Maybe in your living room or when you step outside, it looks the same as inside, and you go to the grocery store and it's the same. Maybe it is too much for you. For these characters in New York City, it's not."
