Francesca Eastwood is more than just a media fixture. The name, however, has taken quite the tumble in the last few days, with her arrest on a felony domestic violence charge and the imminent fallout. While the details of the incident remain elusive for many, it is also naturally raising a few eyebrows.

Francesca is one of Clint Eastwood’s eight children. Her mother, Frances Fisher, is perhaps best known for her role as Ruth DeWitt Bukater in Titanic (1997). Fisher and Clint Eastwood met in 1988, during the pre-production party for Pink Cadillac, never wed, and split by 1995, when Fisher started going out with George Clooney.
Clint Eastwood, meanwhile, is still chugging on. Almost seventy years into his career, the 94-year-old’s Juror #2 will be out in November 2024, a film in which his daughter Francesca plays a role.

Where in the World Is Diller’s Memoir?
In late July, when Barry Diller’s forthcoming memoir, Who Knew, suddenly disappeared from Amazon — after it had popped up for presales ahead of a planned fall release — it raised all sorts of eyebrows. Had the book’s publisher, Knopf, pulled the project for some reason? Had there been an issue with Amazon (and Target, too, which also was taking preorders)? Was the tome even real in the first place? After all, Knopf hadn’t announced anything about a book deal with Diller, despite an early leak to Page Six. The answer, it turns out, is none of the above. Sources close to the project tell Rambling Reporter that it was Diller himself who delayed publication. After sending early copies to a close circle of friends for comments, the 82-year-old media mogul turned memoirist decided the manuscript needed some last-minute noodling. He...

Noah Cyrus pines for “someone good” in her new single, “All Three.” Instead, she finds herself stuck playing an unwinnable game with a toxic lover.
In the song’s Tyler Shields-directed video, Cyrus is seen in various stages of vulnerability, stripped bare emotionally and physically. Passionate shared scenes with her paramour are woven between intimate solo moments, which include her caressing herself and also reflecting in a bathtub.

Kathy Griffin re-shared the 2017 photo of her posing with a model of Donald Trump’s bloody, decapitated head after the president falsely declared victory in the 2020 presidential election early Wednesday.
The comedian posted the photo on Twitter without comment just minutes after Trump’s White House speech. It has since been retweeted nearly 12,000 times.
Taken by photographer Tyler Shields in 2017, the image drew major controversy to Griffin at the time, leading to an emotional apology video in which she called the picture a “mistake.”
Griffin was fired from CNN’s “New Year’s Eve” coverage and condemned by her co-host Anderson Cooper. The comedian has also said she was the subject of an investigation by the Secret Service and placed on a no-fly list in the wake of the photo.
However, Griffin has since retracted her apology, saying that she stands by the image.

Two years ago, a controversial photoshoot involving a bloody image of President Donald Trump nearly ended Kathy Griffin’s career.
When the photo of the comedian, now 58, holding up a Halloween mask of the President with ketchup poured on it to resemble blood went viral, she lost endorsement deals, a comedy tour and her long-standing gig as the co-host of CNN’s New Year’s Eve coverage with Anderson Cooper.

Hours after the release of her decapitated — and controversial — Donald Trump mask photo, Kathy Griffin sought the counsel of three powerful women in Hollywood: Kris Jenner, Melanie Griffith and Rita Wilson.
Back in May 2017, a photo of Griffin, 57, holding a bloody and decapitated mold of Trump’s head was published on photographer Tyler Shields’ website and quickly circulated on the Internet.
But to Griffin’s surprise, the photo wasn’t well-received by many — liberals and conservatives alike.
That evening, Griffin was set to host a dinner party for Jenner, Griffith and Wilson. “I wondered, ‘Should I cancel the dinner?’ ” Griffin told The Hollywood Reporter.

I’m “biast” (con): not a big horror fan
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
If you’ve seen 2015’s Unfriended — about a bunch of high school students who are tormented online by the evil spirit of a classmate who was recently bullied into suicide — then you’ve already seen Friend Request, which is about a bunch of college students who are tormented online by the evil spirit of a classmate who recently committed suicide as the ultimate passive-aggressive response to being ignored. And in fact, this “new” movie has been languishing unreleased in the Us for a year and a half, perhaps to get more air between it and the earlier film.
