Jesse Plemons didn’t jump onto Hollywood’s Ozempic wagon, he clarified during a recent interview. While speaking with reporters, the 36-year-old actor noted it was “unfortunate” to see assumptions that he used the weight loss drug.

“It’s really unfortunate that I decided to get healthy when everyone decided to take Ozempic,” the Civil War actor joked. “It doesn’t matter. Everyone’s going to think I took Ozempic anyways.”

Jesse then explained how his approach changed when it came to health.

“But what it was was getting older and — I hate even getting specific because then it turns into a whole thing — but there was a part that I did that in my mind, I could not imagine him as the size that I was,” he explained. “Several people talked to me about intermittent fasting, and I just gave it a shot and [was] surprised at how quickly it was effective. So, I lost a little bit before I did that part and then felt like I was in the rhythm, I was feeling better, and something shifted in my head. I just sort of got a handle on it.”

Although the Breaking Bad alum didn’t specify where he saw the Ozempic accusations, many social media users shared their thoughts about his weight loss over the past several months. Earlier this year, multiple X users presumed he opted for the semaglutide to drop pounds.

​“Don’t get me wrong, Jesse Plemons is hot now, but he was so much more attractive before he got hit by the bus that is Ozempic,” one X user tweeted in March. One month later, another user chimed in by writing, “Last night, I dreamt that Jesse Plemons came out to me about using Ozempic and I said, ‘Hey brother, it’s OK, we’re all just trying to make it to payday.'”

Jesse — who is married to actress Kirsten Dunst — is known for his chilling roles. In Breaking Bad, he played Todd Alquist: an apathetic killer and meth cook. In 2021, he appeared in Killers of the Flower Moon as agent Thomas Bruce White Sr. Most recently, he appeared in Civil War alongside his wife in an uncredited cameo as a soulless, racist militiamen.

Zac Efron is giving High School Musical fans hope that there could be a start of something new with his ex Vanessa Hudgens. During a new interview, the 36-year-old actor reacted to the news of Vanessa, 35, and their former co-star Ashley Tisdale being pregnant at the same time.

“They’re gonna be the best moms ever,” Zac told reporters, at the premiere of his Netflix movie A Family Affair. He added, “Those girls, are you kidding me?”

Zac then pointed out, “We’re gonna have some fun family reunions coming up.”

Vanessa is currently expecting her first child with husband Cole Tucker, whom she married in December 2023. For Ashley’s part, the Suite Life of Zack & Cody alum, 38, is a mom to daughter Jupiter, whom she shares with husband Christopher French. Ashley is currently pregnant with their second child.

The Disney Channel alums co-starred in the hit High School Musical film series together. Zac played basketball star Troy Bolton, while Vanessa played scholar Gabriella Montez, both of whom discovered their passion for theatre. As their characters’ romance unfolded on screen, the actors dated from 2005 to 2010. Ashley, for her part, played musical queen bee Sharpay Evans.

After Vanessa and Zac ended their relationship in 2010, they didn’t remain close. The Tick, Tick … Boom! actress moved on with ex-boyfriend Austin Butler, whom she dated from 2011 to 2020.

In 2022, Vanessa opened up to Nylon about how her former relationships with Zac and Austin, 32, impacted her life as a public figure. She also teased that she’d be spilling more details in a future memoir.

“The public only sees so much,” she told reporters at the time. “I’ve also been through two very long life-changing relationships, and no one really knows what happened except for me.”

Vanessa and Ashley remained friends for years. As of late, however, the actresses haven’t been able to hang out as much due to their busy schedules and lifestyles, Ashley noted earlier this year.

“I haven’t seen her in a long time,” the “Headstrong” singer said during her appearance on Watch What Happens Live in March. “Obviously, she’s working, I’m working. I have a daughter. So, it’s like, you know, she has a full-time job.”

Veteran actor and radio DJ Marcus Chin suffered a heart attack on Monday morning (Oct 7) and is now recovering after an emergency coronary artery bypass surgery.

The 71-year-old had been filming a short video with Mark Lee at Mediacorp Campus at around 10.45am when he took a short break after feeling unwell. Shortly after resuming filming, he began to experience chest pains and had difficulty breathing.

​He was immediately rushed by ambulance to the National University Hospital, where it was determined he had coronary artery disease caused by blocked arteries. He underwent surgery at 1pm, which was successfully completed an hour later.

According to a statement from his talent agency King Kong Media, Marcus will be staying at the hospital for at least three to four days. He has also been advised to rest and put work on hold for at least a month.

The actor, host and Love 972 DJ had a packed schedule – including his radio hosting duties, dramas and musical performances, among others – which will now all be postponed or cancelled.

He was slated to take part in the Yellow Ribbon Project 20th anniversary concert on Oct 17. Marcus, who is part of The Breakfast Quartet morning show with Mark Lee, Dennis Chew and Chen Biyu, also took part in the radio station’s 30th anniversary stage play held last month.

“On behalf of Marcus Chin, we would like to thank everyone for their care and wish him a speedy recovery,” the statement added.

Bebe Rexha publicly slammed her former “Me, Myself & I” collaborator, G-Eazy, in a new message, calling him a “stuck up ungrateful loser.” In her since-deleted Instagram Story, the 34-year-old pop singer tagged the 35-year-old rapper.
​
Bebe shared a screenshot of a text message from one of her team members asking if she wanted to shoot social media content with G-Eazy in New York. She wrote across the Story,  “@geazy you have my number. Why don’t you text me and ask me yourself you stuck up ungrateful loser.”

Bebe added about the record producer, “You’re lucky people are liking you again. Cause I could go in on all the s**tty things you’ve done and how you treated me after giving you your only real hit. Btw the answer is no.”

Shortly thereafter, Bebe deleted the Instagram Story. Hours later, she followed up on X (previously known as Twitter) in a separate statement, noting that she was reacting out of “trauma.”

“Someone from my team had me take down my Instagram Story,” Bebe tweeted that day. “I decided to remove it because it felt very negative and toxic. Sometimes, trauma can lead us to react that way, and that period of my life was traumatizing. I am writing this because I regret taking it down and I want to say that I still stand by what I said.

G-Eazy has not publicly reacted to Bebe’s social media messages.

The duo worked together on their hit single, “Me, Myself & I,” nine years ago, and they’ve performed together multiple times. Additionally, they produced “F.F.F.” together in 2017.

This wasn’t Bebe’s first time slamming someone online. Last summer, the “One in a Million” hitmaker shared an alleged text from her ex-boyfriend Keyan Safyari, in which he pointed out her weight gain.

“I never said you weren’t beautiful and I never said I didn’t love you,” the text message read, which she shared in July 2023. “In fact I said how beautiful you are and how much I loved you. But I always said I would be honest with you and your face was changing so I told you it was. … That was the conversation we were having and you asked … Because I care, would you rather I lied to you? You gained 35 pounds obviously you gained weight and your face changes? Should I just pretend it didn’t happen and that it’s ok?”

Gisele Bundchen has reportedly called it quits with her jiu jitsu trainer boyfriend, Joaquim Valente. The news comes one month after the 43-year-old’s ex-husband Tom Brady’s roast on Netflix’s The Greatest Roast of All Time, where celebrities came out to diss Tom, 46, and joke about Gisele’s relationship with Joaquim. 

“You have seven rings. Well, eight now that Gisele gave hers back,” Nikki Glaser shared during the show. 

Kevin Hart added to the fire and expressed, “When you got a chance to go 8-9 and all it will cost you is your wife and your kids, you gotta do what the f–k you gotta do…You gotta do it.”

“Tom, you f**ked your coach. But let me tell you something, people — that’s what you’ve got to do to maintain your happiness…You know who else f**ked their coach? Gisele…She f**ked that karate man,” the 44-year-old comedian claimed.

According to several outlets, this show caused tension between the couple’s romance. Shortly after it aired, a source told reporters, “This past week, Gisele has been tirelessly dedicated to aiding those in need in her home state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, which is grappling with the worst flooding in its history. She was concerned about family affected by the devastating floods, so to hear her life being joked about was very disappointing.”

After the buzz died down surrounding Tom’s Netflix special, multiple outlets reported that Gisele and Joaquim had called it quits. In Touch reported on Wednesday, June 12, “The spotlight was too much for him. Joaquim’s a regular guy. He’s not used to all the attention he was getting. Joaquim became part of the joke. People actually started asking him if he was the reason for their divorce. He hated that.”

Additionally, Daily Mail reported that Gisele “blames the break on Tom…By agreeing to do the roast, he basically put a target on Joaquim’s back.”

​Though the comments made about her family and relationship reportedly offended her, the Super Bowl champ apologized to Gisele. A source told reporters, “Gisele and Tom had a ‘no disparaging remarks’ rule when it came to speaking about each other or their marriage and divorce. She is definitely offended and upset about the comments made at the roast.”

Gisele, however, has not publicly reacted to the recent comments about her former marriage, nor has she publicly spoken about her rumored breakup from Joaquim.

Seems like Hong Kong actor William Chan and Chinese supermodel He Sui, who were previously rumoured to have dated and broken up, have rekindled their romance.

A netizen recently ran into the couple while they were vacationing in Japan and shared snaps of them on Chinese social media.

In the pics, He Sui, 35, who was wearing a bucket hat and mask, had her arm around William, 38, as they strolled the streets.

According to reports, the pair appeared very relaxed, chatting and laughing the entire time.

Although their faces were not fully visible in the photos, netizens identified William from the tattoo on the back of his neck and He Sui’s hat, which she had worn previously.

Their affectionate behaviour sparked speculation that they had rekindled their relationship, which thrilled fans, and it soon made it to Weibo’s trending list.

Dating rumours between the pair emerged in 2021 after they were frequently photographed together and were even said to be living together.

Though they never publicly confirmed their relationship, they were reported to have split in 2023 due to disagreements over marriage.

William’s parents reportedly opposed their relationship as He Sui is allegedly divorced.

According to reports, He Sui shared a photo of her marriage certificate on Weibo in 2015 but later deleted the post. She insists that she is single.

Prior to He Sui, William was in high-profile relationships with Angelababy and Charlene Choi.

Malaysian singer-songwriter Dior, also known as Da Ying, has taken to Instagram to expose her younger brother Ansenn Tan’s misdeeds and announced that her family has cut ties with him.

In a lengthy post on October 5, Dior, 25, detailed Ansenn's wrongdoings and shared snaps of him on his knees crying. She also added screenshots of text messages showing him scamming her followers.

She warned others not to be taken in by him and urged victims to report him to the police and have him arrested.

Dior revealed that her brother had been addicted to gambling since his teenage years and had racked up "hundreds of thousands" in debt.

“Every time, we believed it was the last time. We kept giving you chances, helping you pay off your gambling debts. And each time, you abused our trust, showing no remorse,” wrote Dior.

When Ansenn begged her for help a few years ago, Dior went gambling and gave him money that she won.

“I must have been crazy too at that time,” she said, adding that she later helped him to flee the country to escape his debts.

“I reached out to a friend in Australia for help, bought him a plane ticket to escape the country, and arranged a job for him. I thought he would be better off overseas. But it’s happened again and again, so many times I’ve lost count,” she recounted.

​The last straw was when Ansenn started scamming people, from their relatives to his girlfriend and her family, and even Dior’s followers.

He also stole from their family and borrowed from loansharks, resulting in their sister almost being kidnapped.

"He’s lost his humanity, and he shows no signs of remorse. I don’t know if he even has a conscience left," she said.

Her family constantly lives in fear, “wondering what trouble he might cause next” or if the loansharks would come knocking at their door or make a scene during her performances.

“Ansenn Tan, our entire family — our uncles too — are cutting ties with you. It’s come to this, and you’ll have to face the consequences on your own. Take care of yourself,” she wrote.

“I’m not afraid of embarrassment — I’m more concerned about everyone’s safety… At least that way, we can live more peacefully."

Is a pirate’s life for Austin Butler? The 32-year-old Oscar nominee reacted to the rumors that he could possibly be joining the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise during a recent interview. Upon being asked about the speculation, Austin responded, “Oh really? I haven’t heard about that.”

“I loved Pirates of the Caribbean,” the Dune: Part Two star told reporters in an interview. “That just reminded me of when I was a kid. In elementary school, we had to make these posters that had like your favorite music, your favorite actors. And at that time — I don’t know what grade, it must have been fourth grade, third grade or something — but it was Pirates of the Caribbean was on there [sic].”

As for whether or not he’d set sail with the famous Disney franchise, Austin said, “It’s a hard one to touch because they did it so well. I loved what Johnny [Depp] did with that.”

During a separate interview at one of the premieres for his latest film, The Bikeriders, Austin expressed his hesitation in joining such an iconic franchise.

“Well, I mean, it’s always … I mean, I haven’t … that is not real at all, you know?” he told a reporter, according to an X video shared by the Associated Press earlier this week. “But I think that any time you’re stepping into something that other people have done very well, you want to make sure that you would bring something special to that story or whatever. I loved the first [movie], so I don’t know if I want to necessarily jump into something.”

If a reboot starring the Elvis actor happens, Austin noted that it would “have to be done so well, but I don’t know.”

The last time Disney fans saw Johnny, 61, in his Captain Jack Sparrow attire was in 2017’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Original cast members Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom briefly reprised their roles as Elizabeth and Will Turner, respectively, in a post-credits scene, which features Will and Elizabeth sleeping while a shadow of Davy Jones approaches their bed. After Will awakens to find no one, he goes back to sleep — unaware of the wet floor.

A reboot is still in development for the franchise, but it will not include Johnny.

Though Hong Kong actress Tavia Yeung, 45, and her sister, TVB actress Griselda (she’s now known as Lenna), 47, are rarely seen in public together, they are known to be very close.

Recently, a netizen chanced upon the sisters while they were out shopping in China and took to Xiaohongshu to share about their encounter.

The fan said the sisters were very friendly and graciously agreed to photos.

In the snaps, Tavia and Griselda were casually dressed in white tops and caps.

What stood out most was how radiant and flawless their complexions looked despite not wearing a lick of make-up.

Netizens left comments praising their beauty and how good genes run in their family.

Yes, we're envious too.

Interestingly, Tavia and Griselda play sisters in upcoming TVB revenge drama Darkside of the Moon, which is slated to air on Youku on Oct 9 and TVB on Oct 28.

Darkside of the Moon is a remake of Song Hye Kyo's hit K-drama The Glory.

This is Tavia's first drama after 2022's Modern Dynasty and the first time the sisters are working together.

​The drama revolves around a tragic accident 18 years ago that drastically changed the fate of Tavia’s character and her family. She returns later to set in motion a series of revenge plans.

Unlike in real life, things are not quite as rosy between the sisters in the drama.

Tavia revealed in a previous interview that they share many intense argument scenes, and she was worried about breaking character.

Miley Cyrus recalled the moment her godmother Dolly Parton got real with her prior to her 2024 Grammy performance.

“[Dolly] isn’t afraid to have the tough conversations,” Miley, 31, said during a recent appearance on My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman. “A tough conversation I had with her: I told her, ‘I’m wondering if I’m going to do the Grammys or not,’ And she said, ‘Well of course you’re going to do the Grammys, and you’re not just going to show up but you’re going to show off. And you’re going to be everything that you are sitting right here in front of me’”

“And she said, ‘And don’t forget about the beauty. The hair, the makeup, the whole show. It’s armor for us,”’ Miley added.

The 78-year-old country singer’s manifestation really set the tone because 2024 marked a milestone for the Disney alum. Miley won her first Grammys for Pop Solo Performance and Record of the Year. Alongside this big triumph, she also performed her hit “Flowers,” which she shouted in excitement “I Just Won My First Grammy!” during the performance.

That Godmother instinct is never wrong, and “The Climb” singer has always known that. “[Dolly’s] always said this to me: ‘You do you, and I’ll do me, and together we’ll be us.’ So she wasn’t telling me to be Dolly, she wasn’t telling me to be fabulous and hide behind the sparkles and the hair. She was telling me to be me,” she recalled on the talk show.

Miley has been very public about her relationship with her Godmother including having her as a co-host on NBC’s NYE Celebration and as guest star during her Hannah Montana days.

During her Disney Channel era, she admitted to finding it hard to differentiate herself from Hannah. “I mean, Hannah Montana is famous for wearing a blonde wig and kind of having this other persona that she can turn off and be a regular girl by day and have this superstar life at night,” she told David. “I realize that’s something that Dolly has been doing pretty much her entire life…Now, she’s always in the wig and she’s always in the Dolly…It’s not about the external performance of her creating the character.”

Their bond has been something special ever since Miley was born. Dolly recalled her relationship with her granddaughter during an interview on Good Morning America in 2009. “I’ve known her since she was a baby…Her father’s a friend of mine, and when she was born, he said, ‘You just have to be her godmother,’ and I said, ‘I accept’…We never did do a big ceremony, but I’m so proud of her, love her. and she’s just like one of my own,” the artist shared.
