And Rachel Weisz looked incredible as she showed off her post-baby body in a sleek full-length black dress at the Governors Awards on Sunday night at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, here, reports dailymail.co.uk.

The short-sleeved frock, with ruched shoulder detailing, clung to her curvaceous frame, elegantly highlighting her slim waist in the process. 

Weisz, who is married to Bond star Daniel Craig and gave birth to their daughter three months ago, wore her raven tresses styled in loose tousled curls around her shoulders. 

Her natural beauty was enhanced with a light dusting of bronzer, and sweep of mascara and a muted rouge lip. 

Holding onto a small black satin clutch, Rachel kept the rest of her accessories to a minimum. 

The couple got hitched in 2011 and this is their first child together.

In April, they announced that they were expecting, but have kept things largely private, not commenting on the pregnancy or birth.

Gigi Hadid honours hard-working parents

Model Gigi Hadid opened up about being pigeonholed due to her parent's success and being told she was undeserving of her career in the fashion industry.

Speaking Reebok's #BeMoreHuman campaign launch here, Hadid said, "People think that I don't deserve to be where I am because I come from a successful family, but my parents were f***ing hardworking.

"My Dad was a refugee, my Mum was on a farm, went to New York, sending money to her family - they worked their a**es off and they gave me a life because of their hard work, and I work hard to honour that." 

She went on to discuss the criticism she received following a magazine cover and confessed her actor-singer boyfriend Zayn Malik had faced similar criticism so the pair have bonded over the public's need to label them, reports femalefirst.co.uk. 

Joey King slams plane passenger who thought she had cancer 

 

The Kissing Booth star Joey King slammed plane passenger who thought she had cancer because of her bald head and feared contracting it from her.

King, who recently shaved her head for a role, revealed on Sunday she sat beside a plane passenger who thought she had cancer.

The 19-year-old added that the man did not want to sit next to her for fear of contracting the disease, reports dailymail.co.uk.

She tweeted, "I'm on a plane and this man next to me literally turned to me with his phone in my face and took a photo of me as if I wouldn't notice and texted his wife that he's sitting next to a girl who has cancer (just because I'm bald) and that he is scared to 'catch it'...Why are people stupid stupid sometimes.

She continued, "I read his text over his shoulder it said 'some bald chick next to me with cancer coughed and I don't wanna catch it' are you joking?"

Earlier this month, she revealed she was cutting off all her locks to take on the role of Munchausen victim-turned-murderer Gypsy Rose Blanchard.

The actress debuted the dramatic new style in an Instagram post that documented the entire buzz cut process.

Captioning the video and accompanying picture of her newly-shaved head, Joey revealed that she will be modelling the look for the next four months, while playing the part of Gypsy Rose for new Hulu true crime series The Act.

"My name for the next four months, is Gypsy Rose Blanchard," she wrote alongside the post.

Amy Schumer back to work

Actress Amy Schumer has returned to work after her recent hospitalisation.

The 37-year-old comedienne, who is expecting her first child with husband Chris Fische, was admitted to a medical center for hyperemesis gravidarum, or severe nausea and vomiting, reports eonline.com.

Schumer performed a comedy show at the New Jersey Performing Art Center a few days ago.

After her performance, the Trainwreck actress took to Instagram and wrote, "Thanks for bringing me back to life Newark (something no one else has ever said)."

The event was originally supposed to take place in September and was later rescheduled due to a scheduling conflict for Schumer. 

Lady Gaga still not back home after California wildfire

Singer-actress Lady Gaga, who had to evacuate during the raging wildfire in California, says she still hasn’t been able to return to her home.

Gaga told variety.com that she probably won't be back until after Thanksgiving. 

She said, "The fire had nonetheless burned parts of my property. I am so grateful for the firefighters who put them out. It's still so smoky. I'm not sure when we could go back. But I'm grateful. So grateful."

Amidst such hardships, the Bad romance hitmaker was seen helping firefighters.

On Saturday, she visited L.A. County Fire Station 27 and was seen bringing meatballs and pasta to the firefighters. She also tried on some fire gear, which she found incredibly heavy.

"I feel so bad for everyone. People losing everything. I am going to do more, do what I can," Gaga added.

‘Crazy Rich Asians' director to be honoured by publicists

Hollywood publicists have selected Crazy Rich Asians director Jon M. Chu as the recipient of the Motion Picture Showman of the Year Award.

Chu will be presented the award at the 56th Annual International Cinematographers Guild's Publicists (ICG) Awards for his contribution to the art of movies on 22 February 2019, reports by media. 

"Jon M. Chu has made an extraordinary contribution to the art of filmmaking. His Crazy Rich Asians, adored by audiences throughout the world, is the first studio modern day film to feature an all-Asian cast in a quarter of a century. We celebrate the achievement of this breakout film, which has moved diverse audiences around the world," said Steven Poster, national president of the ICG. 

Crazy Rich Asians had huge box office success, grossing over $236 million worldwide, as it saw Constance Wu's character Rachel navigate the luxurious world of partner Nick Young (Henry Golding) and his wealthy family.

The movie was based on a novel of the same name by Kevin Kwan, who went on to pen sequels China Rich Girlfriend and Rich People Problems, meaning there will be enough source material if producers choose to use it. 

Chu's previous credits include Step Up 2: The Streets, G.I. Joe: Retaliation and Justin Bieber: Never Say Never.

Jackman shares message for Krasinski, Reynolds after the Twitter roast

Actor Hugh Jackman took the opportunity at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, where he was being honoured, to take a dig at actors John Krasinski and Ryan Reynolds.

Krasinski and Reynolds, in banter, had ganged up on Jackman on social media over the weekend after a photograph of the Logan star cozying up to Krasinski's actress-wife Emily Blunt at Variety's Actors on Actors event, reports of leading publication. 

"You gotta stay on your toes, John. That's all I'm saying," Jackman joked.

He went on to add that he would have no problem taking on Krasinski in a physical altercation if it came to that.

"I'm fine to fight John, but he arrived this morning at my front door with Ryan. I'm like, ‘Come on, guys. One at a time. Not together.'" 

Jackman said that he might have acquired a taste for rabble-rousing. 

"I'm really creating all these feuds. This mister nice guy image is over." 

The initial spat occurred when the Front Runner star tweeted a photograph of himself with Blunt praising their conversation together for Actors on Actors. 

Krasinski responded with another pic of the pair, in which Jackman was likely talking in Blunt's ear, writing, "Eeeeeeasy Hugh…not sure this is what Variety meant with Actors on Actors. Don't make me think I can hurt you."

Reynolds then piled on, tweeting, "This is a call to action. This man must be stopped." 

Jackman and Reynolds, at least, have a history of ribbing each other online. 

The pair, who both play characters in the Marvel/X-Men universe as Wolverine and Deadpool, have repeatedly engaged in good-natured smearing in an imitation of their on-screen personas. 

Little Mix's Jesy blasts Piers Morgan

Singer Jesy Nelson has called journalist Piers Morgan a "silly twat", following his offensive comments about her band Little Mix's latest single.

On Monday, Morgan slammed Little Mix on his Good Morning Britain show, saying the girls use nudity to sell their latest album LM5, reports of media.

But the journalist's comment did not go well with Jesy.

During an appearance on a radio show, when band members were asked about Morgan, Jesy said, "Of course (we're not surprised). He is a silly twit."

After being called "silly twat" by the Black Magic hitmaker, Piers took to Twitter and wrote, "If you're brave enough Little Mix - come on Good Morning Britain tomorrow and say what you've just been saying about me on Radio One to my face."

KJ Apa likes challenges

Riverdale star KJ Apa says it is always good to be uncomfortable and likes to be challenged.

Apa, who plays the role of Archie Andrews in the show, says the second season was dark, and the third season is about Archie "trying to redeem himself for the mistakes he made".

"It (second season) did get pretty dark, but I was actually stoked about that. From an acting point of view, it was definitely more challenging and it made me more anxious on set, for sure," Apa said in a statement to leading publication.

"But I think it's always good to be uncomfortable. I was uncomfortable and challenged for a lot of season two, but I like to be challenged," he added.

Based on characters from Archie Comics, the show follows the story of the residents of Riverdale. The first season unravelled the saga surrounding the tragic death of high school golden boy Jason Blossom. The second season dealt with the mystery of the Black Hood. The show is aired in India on Colors Infinity.

Talking about the third season, he said, "This season, I think he's trying to redeem himself for the mistakes he made. In that sense, maybe we're not going to go darker. "

Did you read any Archie Comics growing up?

"I had never heard of Archie Comics before I started the show. I grew up in New Zealand and I don't think the comics are too big over there; especially when compared to the States. As soon as I was cast, I dove into the comics and I quickly realised that I was about to enter a humongous franchise. Then the red hair came along and I soon became Archie Andrews. It's been amazing."

Rollerblades, record player: Items from Priyanka, Nick's wedding registry

Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra, who is engaged to pop singer Nick Jonas, has opened up about picking various items for home and lifestyle ahead of her upcoming wedding day.

The Quantico star has done a $14000 wedding registry in association with Amazon where the couple has selected their favourite items and put it up on the registry, so that guests can select the item to gift the couple.

She took to Instagram, where she posted a photograph of herself in a white long dress and wrote, "I had so much fun building a wedding registry guide with Amazon. They have everything that you need in one place! Amazon has also made a $100,000 donation to Unicef, a charity that is extremely important to me!"

The list includes items for entertaining and decor, including a Riedel wine decanter, Now House by Jonathan Adler Throw Pillow, and Dorotea dinner plates. 

"A lot of people get so stressed about weddings and I think we lose the charm. (Wedding planning) is fun - and it should be. Amazon makes sense for a registry because there are such incredible things you can find under one roof. These are the kinds of things I want when I build a home," Priyanka told to leading publication.

She added, "I've always been an entertainer. My home is always bustling with loved ones. I have a very close-knit set of friends and so does Nick and I like being a host."

Stan Lee's company slams Bill Maher 

Stan Lee’s company POW! Entertainment posted an open letter slamming Bill Maher’s response to the comic book legends death.

The company posted the letter on Monday in response to a blog post written by Maher that chided the Marvel icon after he died on 12 November, reports of leading publication.

Maher's initial blog post criticised American adults for taking comic books seriously and questioned the validity of Lee's legacy.  

In response, Lee's company wrote, "Mr. Maher: Comic books, like all literature, are storytelling devices. When written well by great creators such as Stan Lee, they make us feel, make us think and teach us lessons that hopefully make us better human beings. 

"One lesson Stan taught so many of us was tolerance and respect, and thanks to that message, we are grateful that we can say you have a right to your opinion that comics are childish and unsophisticated. Many said the same about Dickens, Steinbeck, Melville and even Shakespeare."

The letter also calls Maher's statements "disgusting", before emphasising the importance of Lee's work in providing hope for readers who have felt different or have been bullied. 

"But to say that Stan merely inspired people to ‘watch a movie' is in our opinion frankly disgusting," the letter read.

"Countless people can attest to how Stan inspired them to read, taught them that the world is not made up of absolutes, that heroes can have flaws and even villains can show humanity within their souls. He gave us the X-Men, Black Panther, Spider-Man and many other heroes and stories that offered hope to those who felt different and bullied while inspiring countless to be creative and dream of great things to come."

The show continues the trend of turning movies into stage shows.

Musical re-imaginings of Pretty Woman, Mean Girls, and Waitress are already playing in New York, with a musical version of Tootsie and Beetlejuice also expected to hit Gotham in the coming months.

'Crazy Rich Asians 2' won't happen for a while
