Now The Post actor is sharing how one of Mister Rogers’ valuable life-lessons keeps his marriage to Rita Wilson going strong. Hanks sat down with Entertainment Tonight to talk about how the teachable lesson from Rogers has put an end to some squabbles in his 31-year-marriage.

“When my wife and I are going at it on those rare occasions, when she is letting me know that I’m not really listening to her and I’m trying to establish what the ground rules are [for the argument], when we’re going at it like that, one of us will say, ‘Well, you know what? You know what, honey? It’s good to talk. It’s good to say the things we feel,” the 63-year-old stated to ET’s Kevin Frazier.

Hanks also shared he and Wilson enjoy making soup together when they have time off from work. It sounds like something Mister Rogers would recommend for all couples.

Along with spilling how the television legend helps keep Hanks’ marriage grounded, the actor also dished how the two men are similar. They have each been referred to as the nicest guys in the world. However, neither Rogers nor Hanks would allow anyone to take advantage of their nice, genuine and humble personalities.

“I don’t allow anyone to take advantage of my good nature and I don’t know that Fred did either,” Wilson’s husband admitted.

Other than that, Hanks shares the two men were quite different. Their significant differences are one of the reasons the actor was happy to take on the challenge of playing Mister Rogers.

Tom Hanks has taken a life-lesson from Fred Rogers and implemented it in his marriage to Rita Wilson. Fans can decide for themselves just how well Hanks takes on the role of Rogers when A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood, hits theaters on Friday, November 22nd.

According to a report from UsMagazine.com, Scooter Braun recently spread a message of positivity for all those hating on him on social media, and that includes Taylor Swift. Earlier this month, Scooter and Taylor rekindled their feud with the latter supposedly using the fact he owns her master recordings against the pop-star.

The 38-year-old wrote, “words to live by,” alongside a picture of a quote that said, “kindness is the only response.” On the 19th of November, Tuesday, Scooter shared the message for all the world to see, and some fans of Taylors aren’t buying it.

As it was previously reported, Braun, 38, and Swift, 29, have been publicly feuding since June when the former purchased the rights to Taylor’s first six albums through Big Machine Records, now known as Big Machine Label Group.

Mr. Braun purchased the rights to her nearly all of her music, and Taylor wasn’t happy about it. In fact, the pop-star took to her social media account afterward to say it was one of the worst things to ever happen to her in recent memory.

Swift claimed she never once thought that Scott Borchetta would let Scooter Braun purchase them, because, according to her, any time she ever uttered Braun’s name was “through tears” on account of the purported bullying and manipulation he threw her way.

The drama intensified between the pair earlier this month when Swift claimed Braun and Big Machine Label Group told her she wasn’t able to play her music at the American Music Awards or use it in a Netflix documentary.

On the 14th of November, Thursday, Swift wrote that all she wanted was to be able to play her own music. Ms. Swift claimed all future events where she was previously scheduled to play her hits were up in the air. In response, Big Machine Label Group denied her claims and stated they didn’t have the right to stop her from performing those songs anywhere.

Moreover, Big Machine claimed to have in their possession an agreement with Dick Clark Productions in relation to the American Music Awards. However, Dick Clark Productions denied that claim.

According to a report from UPI.com, Tom Hanks revealed on the Today show this Tuesday that he initially said “no” to the role of Mister Rogers in the film, A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood, until he was eventually persuaded to take it on by the director of the project, Marielle Heller.

Speaking with Savannah Guthrie, Hanks said the director told him she wasn’t interested in any kind of “comment” or “editorial” on Mister Rogers’ character. The actor was told he would receive a wig, changed eyebrows, and the rest was up to Mr. Hanks.

Additionally, Hanks explained that the show was never designed for grown-up adults. It was for children, and it was created by someone who wanted to connect with them and show them how he cared.

Moreover, the actor claims he sat down with Joanne Rogers, his widow, and she dished on what she might’ve thought about the state of the world today, and how Rogers would’ve behaved in it. Regarding what Joanne Rogers said, she stated Roger would just try and do the best thing he could.

“No one wants to lead with vulnerability. We all want to be met with compassion, but in order to do that, you actually do have to lead with some brand of vulnerability.”

Ray J’s pregnant wife Princess Love is accusing him of leaving her stranded in Las Vegas.

There is some serious trouble in paradise when it comes to Ray J and Princess Love. She used Instagram to blast him for leaving her, as well as their daughter Melody, in Las Vegas without a safe way to get home.

“Left me and Melody stranded in Las Vegas and blocked me from calling… now you wanna post family photos. #ByeUgly,” she replied in the comments section of Ray J’s latest Instagram post.

Ray J has since deleted the post that consisted of a photo of him, Princess Love and one-year-old Melody. He has also not responded on social media or via his rep to his wife’s claims.

Meanwhile, Princess Love and Melody are waiting for someone to come to Las Vegas and drive them back to Los Angeles. The Love & Hip Hop Hollywood star is fully aware she has the money and means to get herself back home.

However, her car is in Las Vegas and she does not feel safe making the drive alone with her young daughter. Princess Love is eight months pregnant, making the road trip by herself is not ideal.

“I’m over 8-months pregnant and I don’t even want to have to stop for gas or go into labor with all of this human trafficking going on,” she shared.

Plus, she could go into labor at any moment with only her little girl in the car. The drive is not extremely long, a little over four hours. However, considering her condition, it is smart of Princess Love not to make the journey alone.

She did not indicate if or when someone would come to get her from Las Vegas.

Ray J is being accused of leaving his pregnant wife and young daughter stranded in Las Vegas. The couple has had their fair share of drama during their three-year marriage. They always manage to find their way back to each other though, despite the ups and downs.

Until being left in Vegas, Princess Love was having an “amazing pregnancy.” She has been updated fans throughout her pregnancy on social media, including an extortionary gender reveal.

Ray J hoped in a helicopter that blew smoke the color of the sex of the baby. Princess Love stayed behind watching her husband fly off and learning baby number 2 is a boy.

According to a report from People.com, Lori Loughlin may face off against a prison sentence of 2-3 years if convicted for her involvement in the college admissions scandal that kicked off in March of this year and led to the 1-week sentence for Felicity Huffman.

Obtained by Good Morning America, court transcripts show that the judge presiding over the case has been very critical of the defendants, even telling one in particular that they had to pay a “substantial” price for the conduct.

56-year-old Toby MacFarlane, a real estate executive, was sentenced to prison after pleading guilty to one count of honest services mail fraud as well as the conspiracy to commit mail fraud. Mr. MacFarlane’s case was quite similar to that of Mossimo Giannulli and Lori Loughlin.

Mr. MacFarlane lied about his children and tried to have them admitted into the school through an athletic sport. Mr. MacFarlane paid approximately $450,000 in bribes. Loughlin and Giannulli were accused of doing the same thing.

As it was previously reported, Lori and Giannulli were accused of doing the same thing. They paid half-a-million dollars to William Singer for the sake of getting Isabella Rose Giannulli and Olivia Jade Giannulli into the school through the USC crew team.

Dan Abrams a legal analyst who appeared on Good Morning America stated that the “cases were very similar,” adding that it was nearly the same amount of cash, and it was in the case of two children, rather than just one.

Mr. Abrams pleaded guilty to it, as well, which means they accepted their role in the case, and he’s still getting six months in prison as a consequence. The legal analyst stated that he wouldn’t be “surprised if she got two to three years if she’s convicted.”

Another source who spoke with People Magazine stated there were definite similarities between the two cases. Sources allege that both Lori Loughlin and Mossimo are quite concerned about the outcome of the case because if they’re convicted, they’ll be behind bars for a long time.
