Hollywood star Jennifer Lawrence has reflected on a high-profile role she didn’t land in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood — and attributed it, at least in part, to perceptions of her appearance.

However, she said the part ultimately went to Margot Robbie, and suggested that chatter about her not being “pretty enough” at the time influenced the casting decision. Lawrence acknowledged that the narrative about her looks became so…

The 83rd annual Golden Globe Awards, held on January 11 in Beverly Hills, felt unexpectedly restrained compared with past years. Traditionally known for lively after parties and some raucous moments fueled by alcohol, this year’s show was noticeably more composed, with few on air slips or loose remarks. Unlike many recent awards ceremonies where political messages dominate acceptance speeches, winners and presenters this year largely focused on their projects or offered more general sentiments rather than outspoken commentary on current events. On the red carpet, a handful of attendees quietly wore symbolic pins related to social issues, but these gestures did…

Pamela Anderson has opened up about how uneasy she felt being near Seth Rogen at the 2026 Golden Globe Awards, largely because of his role in the 2022 Hulu series Pam & Tommy. The actress told SiriusXM host Andy Cohen that being seated close to Rogen during the ceremony left her feeling “weird” and “yucky.” Anderson explained that the limited series, which dramatized the infamous private tape scandal from her past, was produced and executive produced by Rogen without her input or consent — and that choice still bothers her years later. She said it brought back difficult emotions and…
