According to a report from the Los Angeles Times, this past weekend, Ford v Ferrari was number one at the box office whereas Charlie’s Angels tanked. Estimates from Comscore reported that the movie took in $31 million in its opening weekend against projections of $20 million, making the movie more successful than initially suspected.

Even though the film performed quite well, the overall box office numbers were down in comparison to last year for the fifth weekend in a row. Reportedly, there was a drop of 37.6% of the same period when Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald, took home $62.2 million in its opening weekend.

Based in 1966, the film tells the story of the two men who helped Ford Motor Company beat Ferrari in the Le Mans race.

Not only was the film financially successful, but it was also critically successful as well, earning a very rare A+ CinemaScore rating as well as a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Charlie’s Angels, on the other hand, opened with a meager $8.6 million against projections of $12 to $13 million.

Charlie’s Angels stars Naomi Scott, Ella Balinska, and Kristen Stewart as the group of women employed in the Charles Townsend Agency. The movie is based in the same universe as the 1970s television series, as well as the 2000 remake and the sequel, Full Throttle.

Even though it didn’t do quite so well at the box office, Charlie’s Angels secured a B+ rating in CinemaScore as well as a 59% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The year 2000’s Charlie’s Angels, starring Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu, and Drew Barrymore, earned $264 million at the box office against a $93 million budget.

Full Throttle, which was released three years later in 2003, performed well at the box office as well, taking home $259 million against a $120 million budget.

Khloe Kardashian, 35, and her one-year-old daughter, True Thompson, are bonding, spending quality time together, and baking delicious treats.

Via social media, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star posted a series of photos where she is baking bread with baby True and used the caption to reveal that it is a little tradition that she has put in place.

Kardashian and her daughter get together to make bread and yummy pastries several times a week.

The happy mom explained: “My baby bread baker!!! We bake bread together a few times a week ♡ I pray we continue this weekly tradition forever. ♡”

A fan penned this sweet comment: “Khloe!!! I can’t take the cuteness happening right now!💕
She is so adorable 😍😍😍, Lord, may I please have a girl next 🥰 amen. And these are the memories she will remember forever 💗 amazing mommy. 💗”

However, this critic claimed Kardashian is lying and the nannies baked the goodies: “😂😂Khloe, you tell a good yarn, with those nails hair clothes makeup I, don’t think so, Nannies bakes with tutu ….?🤣😂😂😂”

The photos come days after Kardashian’s baby daddy, Tristan Thompson, 28, wrote her a sweet message for the launch of her perfume: “Wow, wow, wow, @khloekardashian 👑👑 Congrats Momma Koko on winning best reality star 2019, that’s two years in a row. Two-time champ. I love the sound of that. So proud of all you have accomplished this year. Revenge body is something that always stands out to me, and you challenge people to fight for a better YOU. It’s more about what in life really gives us true happiness and is holding us back from achieving that. True and I are so proud of you and the sisters for everything last night. All of you are truly role models for our younger generation. Keep leading with love and happiness. You go, girl!!! *martin voice*”.

An insider revealed: “Right now, things are very peaceful and positive between her and Tristan. It has taken lots of personal growth and maturity on both sides to get to this point. She’s proud of where they’re at.”

The source continued with: “Of course, Khloe was flattered when she saw what Tristan posted on social media. She couldn’t help but smile, and it reminded her of how he used to swoon over her when they first got together. Khloe thought it was delightful, and what girl wouldn’t feel good about an ex gushing over them?”

Do you think the former couple will reconcile in the future?

According to a report from The Hollywood Reporter, Martin Scorsese revealed at the New York Film Festival that he, Robert De Niro, and Joe Pesci always liked to compare notes on what they were currently working on, however, in the case of The Irishman, it took years for them to come together.

As it was previously reported, Robert De Niro spoke with Joe Pesci and convinced him to come out of retirement for a chance to work with Martin Scorsese again in his new film. Speaking with De Niro at the LA premiere of the Netflix film, the actor stated they’re all good friends and Joe “loves Marty.”

De Niro claims he told Joe, “come on, this is it, let’s do it, let’s try and do it,” and Pesci agreed and wanted to work with him once again in addition to Al Pacino. As fans of the iconic filmmaker know, the trio has worked together on three different occasions in the past, including Casino, Goodfellas, as well as Raging Bull.

The very first film secured an Oscar win for De Niro, and Goodfellas saw Pesci receive one as well. De Niro and Scorsese, on the other hand, have worked together in a plethora of films including The Audition, Cape Fear, The King Of Comedy, New York, New York, Taxi Driver, as well as Mean Streets.

While at the New York Film Festival, Scorsese recalled how he and Bob had been speaking about working as a trio together, and how they hadn’t done so since Casino. For years, they would look at each other’s work and try to come together, but it took a long time to finally make it happen.

As fans of movie culture know, Martin sparked the ire of many in the industry earlier this year when he condemned comic book movies as failing to demonstrate the classic qualities of “true cinema.” Following the backlash, Martin refused to apologize.

Additionally, some reporters and media journalists accused Martin of not employing enough female actresses, to which he responded by saying that he only hired them when the story called for it. If it doesn’t suit the story, then it’s a “waste of everybody’s time,” the director explained.

The Irishman, starring Joe Pesci, Pacino, and De Niro, revolves around the sudden disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa.

Yesterday, NeNe Leakes took to her platform to post a pic that showed her laughing and in the caption, she made sure to also promote her big comeback to the Real Housewives of Atlanta! That being said, the reality TV celeb could also not miss the opportunity to diss her fellow cast members.

Judging by her confident words, it really sounded like NeNe was really looking forward to fans watching her big return to RHOA.

Only a day before the episode aired, NeNe shared this post and also threw some shade her co-stars.

The way she did it was pretty clever and also really shady, suggesting that this would be the real premiere of the Real Housewives of Atlanta’s twelfth season despite already airing two other episodes prior to the one featuring her return!

That’s right! As far as NeNe is concerned, the third episode if the true ‘premiere’ and that everyone will want to watch because of her.

‘Just like DAT’ she’s back for the PREMIERE of RHOA TOMORROW @ 8pm on Bravo! They tried real hard on the pre-show hunni but it didn’t work! The #HBIC #OG #the1 See y’all tomorrow,’ NeNe wrote in the caption of her pic.

Sure enough, many of her followers showed NeNe a lot of support and expressed their excitement over her being part of the cast once more.

Here are a few of the reactions to her cheeky post: ‘PREMIERE Indeed!’ / ‘It has been a snooze fest! Now things will get real. 🙌🏼🙌🏼.’ / ‘Let the games begin.’

Judging by these comments, it sounds like she was right! But of course, they were left by her supporters so it makes sense!

That being said, what do you think about NeNe’s return to the show?

According to a report from PageSix.com, Patricia Heaton’s husband, David Hunt, the producer for Carole’s Second Act, was accused of inappropriate touching which led to two women quitting their jobs.

The New York Times reported that Hunt inappropriately touched a writer, who happened to be a woman, and she left after complaining of mismanagement by the CBS HR department. Broti Gupta complained to human resources after Hunt allegedly touched her on two separate occasions, including one incident where he placed her hand on his thigh.

Gupta claims she was made to feel uncomfortable after a work dinner in August when he hugged her and complimented her pants. She also claims that he ran a hand up one of her thighs. And a few weeks later, she claims that she was sitting next to the co-executive producer, Margee Magee, and Hunt grabbed her shoulders.

Gupta spoke to Magee about the incidents in question, and she told her to tell her story. Both parties then went to the executives at the network and reported their complaints to the HR department. They subsequently began an investigation.

In another meeting, Gupta told the department that she didn’t want Hunt to be fired, she only wanted him to undergo a sexual harassment training session. Gupta claims that, on account of her personal morals and “code of ethics,” it seemed right for him to receive training rather than punishment.

After they spoke at length about the situation to higher-ups in the network, both of them were reportedly prevented from going to rehearsals for the show and weren’t able to do their jobs properly because of it.

Gupta claimed that at that point, she had no other option to leave her job on the series. Magee states she went to the HR department as well and she was subsequently relieved from her writing duties on the show. In October, she quit.

In response to the allegations, CBS claimed that Mr. Hunt complied with their requests, and they also denied firing them or denying them their jobs after they told their stories. The network looked into the matter and found that nothing malicious was enacted against them as a retaliatory measure.

Hunt responded to the allegations by saying that he doesn’t remember grabbing anyone’s thigh ever, although, he does remember looking for a script and perhaps touching someone’s shoulders.
