It takes a lot of energy to get there. And so you almost have to sustain it once you're there because going up and down is kind of hard." Dano added that he wrapped himself in plastic wrap to get into character, since The Riddler takes extreme measures to prevent leaving DNA at crime scenes. "My head was just throbbing with heat.

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.

Minka Kelly Opens Up About A Proposed Nude Scene On The Set Of Euphoria

In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Minka Kelly revealed that she didn't feel "comfortable" with a nude scene proposed by Euphoria creator Sam Levinson during her first day on set.

The scene she referred to appears in the second episode of the second season of the show, when her character Samantha asks Maddie, played by Alexa Demie, to unzip her dress. Kelly said that, in an earlier version of the script, "Levinson thought it would be more interesting if my dress fell to the ground."

Kelly then offered Levinson an alternative route. "I said, ‘I'd love to do this scene, but I think we can keep my dress on,' He was like, ‘Okay!' He didn't even hesitate. And he shot a beautiful scene and got exactly what he wanted."

These comments come after Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney told The Independent that she spoke up about unnecessary nude scenes in the show as well.

Santa Fe D.A. Says Alec Baldwin May Not Have Pulled The Trigger In Fatal Rust Shooting

Following a lawsuit filed by the family of late cinematographer Halyna Hutchins regarding the fatal Rust shooting, Santa Fe D.A. Mary Carmack-Altwies has commented on an important aspect of the case.

Last week, one of the Hutchins' lawyers, Brian Panish, said, "I think it's clear what happened. Alec Baldwin had the gun in his hand, he shot it -- Halyna was killed. The gun cannot fire unless the trigger is engaged and the hammer is back." However, Carmack-Altwies recently told Vanity Fair that it is possible that Baldwin didn't pull the trigger.

"You can pull the hammer back without actually pulling the trigger and without actually locking it. So you pull it back partway, it doesn't lock, and then if you let it go, the firing pin can hit the primer of the bullet," Carmack-Altwies said, after she had investigators perform tests to experiment with the mechanics.

In an interview with ABC in December, Alec Baldwin claimed he "would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them, never."

Linda Evangelista Opens Up About Botched 'Fat-Freezing' Procedure

Supermodel Linda Evangelista has come out of seclusion five years after a botched CoolSculpting "fat-freezing" procedure that left her "permanently deformed and brutally disfigured."

The 56-year-old opens up to People in their latest issue about the emotional and physical pain she has been in, saying, "I loved being up on the catwalk. Now I dread running into someone I know. I can't live like this anymore, in hiding and shame."

In June 2016, a doctor diagnosed her with Paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH), rare side effect that affects less than one percent of CoolSculpting patients, where the freezing process causes the affected fatty tissue to thicken and expand.

Evangelista filed a lawsuit in September suing CoolSculpting's parent company, Zeltiq Aesthetics Inc., for $50 million in damages, alleging that she's been unable to work since undergoing seven sessions of CoolSculpting in a dermatologist's office from August 2015 to February 2016.

Despite having two corrective liposuction procedures, the PAH returned. Evangelista tells People, "It wasn't even a little bit better. The bulges are protrusions. And they're hard. If I walk without a girdle in a dress, I will have chafing to the point of almost bleeding. Because it's not like soft fat rubbing, it's like hard fat rubbing."

She adds, "I don't look in the mirror. It doesn't look like me."

In a statement to People, a representative for CoolSculpting says the procedure "has been well studied with more than 100 scientific publications and more than 11 million treatments performed worldwide" and added that known rare side effects like PAH "continue to be well-documented in the CoolSculpting information for patients and health care providers."

Halyna Hutchins' Family Sues Alec Baldwin For Fatal Rust Shooting

The family of late cinematographer Halyna Hutchins has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Alec Baldwin for the Rust shooting that resulted in Hutchins' death. Lawyers for the family also released a disturbing animated reenactment of what happened that day.

The suit claims that the failure to follow safety standards led to Hutchins' death, including the appearance of live ammo on set. And while Baldwin has previously claimed that he only pulled back the hammer and did not pull the trigger on the gun that killed Hutchins, Brian Panish, one of the family's lawyers, said, "I think it's clear what happened. Alec had the gun in his hand, he shot it -- Halyna was killed. The gun cannot fire unless the trigger is engaged and the hammer is back."

"There are many people culpable, but Mr. Baldwin was the person holding the weapon … that but for him shooting, she would not have died," Panish added.

The family's lawyers also claimed that Baldwin refused proper weapons training and said that the industry standard requires the crew to be behind protective glass during such a scene.

Baldwin's lawyers released a statement on Tuesday (February 15th) following news of the lawsuit, denying the claims that he was "reckless," saying that those claims are "entirely false."
