The Internet’s obsession with BRAD PITT and JENNIFER ANISTON’s reunion at the SAG Awards intensified yesterday – when people noticed that Jennifer seemed to have a finger underneath one of Brad’s LAPELS!!! You can see it in a picture where Brad is holding Jennifer’s wrist, and her hand is close to his chest.  Even celebrities are fangirling over it. Courteney Cox was apparently liking photos of Brad and Jen’s reunion, too. Brad and Jen aren’t giving any indication of anything. After Jennifer won her SAG Award, “ET Canada” told her that Brad was watching her speech backstage and CRYING . . . and she just acted like she didn’t believe it.

 

Ranker.com has a list of the scariest villains in KIDS movies, and naturally, a lot of them are from “family-friendly” movies that came out in the ’80s . . . Here are a few

The Witches from “The Witches”, 1990

Judge Doom from “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”, 1988

The Wheelers from “Return to Oz”, 1985

The Child Catcher from “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”, 1968

The Firefighter Clown from “The Brave Little Toaster”, 1987

Satan from “The Adventures of Mark Twain”, 1985

 

Was KELLY RIPA so relieved when RYAN SEACREST joined “Live” that she quit drinking? That’s what it sounded like on yesterday’s show. Kelly mentioned a news article that said wine sales had dropped for the first time in a quarter of a century.  She said, “I believe this is because I quit drinking, that I caused this dip.” Then Ryan said, “I started the show and she quit drinking.  What does that tell you?”

 

HARRY HAMLIN starred in the 1982 movie “Making Love”, as an openly gay man who starts an affair with a married doctor. According to him, his career never recovered. Harry says that before he took the part, “everyone in Hollywood” turned it down because, “the idea of a gay world was not accepted at the time.” Harry says he did the movie because he was looking for something, “relevant and edgy, cutting edge.” But he figures it was about 10 years too early to push that envelope, and the result was, “It completely ended my career.  That was the last studio picture I ever did.  The door shut with a resounding smash.” Harry says he’s still proud of “Making Love”, though, and not a week goes by that someone doesn’t thank him for doing it. Plus, he did get “L.A. Law” in 1986, and he’s worked pretty steadily ever since.  But certainly not at the top of the Hollywood food chain.

 

Last February, OZZY OSBOURNE had a serious fall when he got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. And he’s been dealing with the after-effects ever since. On “Good Morning America” today, Ozzy tells ROBIN ROBERTS about the struggle, and how, after he hit the floor, he thought he was done for. He says his recovery has been, “taking its time,” adding that 2019 was the, “worst, longest, most painful, miserable year of my life.”

CODY JOHNSON says that he was at his high school talent show during freshman year. He played Garth Brooks’ “If Tomorrow Never Comes”, and when he got to the line about ‘sometimes late at night, I lie awake and watch her sleeping’ . . . the girls all went crazy. “I thought to myself, ‘I think I want to make music.  I’m making girls scream, so I want to make country music.'”  The key phrase there is “make country music.”  It doesn’t matter what the trends are, he’s staying in his lane.  “I’ve had those conversations, like, ‘Would you consider taking your cowboy hat off’ or ‘The real country thing’s not working in radio right now, but this is.’ “And I was always like, ‘But that’s not me.’  To be honest, I never cared about getting rich and famous.  All I ever wanted to do is play music I believe in.”

 

Tim Tebow and fiancée Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters have tied the knot. The former NFL quarterback and the Miss Universe 2017 said “I do” in an intimate sunset ceremony at La Paris Estate in Cape Town, South Africa.

 

LUKE BRYAN has plans for Jason Aldean when they perform at this year’s Crash My Playa, which kicks off tomorrow in Mexico. “The beauty is the night he’s on stage, I can crash the stage and vice versa.  He and I can play some old songs he and I used to play when we were on tour together there.”

 

KEITH URBAN congratulated the Tennessee Titans for their terrific year, even though they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. He Tweeted, “Titans – You came a long way and we’re so freakin’ proud of you guys.  But man, gotta hand it to ya, Chiefs.  You played so good.”

 

Kelsea Ballerini has once again ventured into the pop world. She’s teamed with up-and-coming pop singer John K for a new version of his song, “If We Never Met.” Kelsea’s currently working on her third studio album, expected to be released this year. The lead single, “Homecoming Queen?,” is currently in the top 20 on both the Billboard Country Airplay and Hot Country Songs charts.
