Avatar: The Way of Water splashes Spider-Man: No Way Home in box office charts as it nears $2bn gross

Avatar: The Way of the Water is passing milestone after milestone on its quest for box office dominance.

As of Wednesday (18 January), the James Cameron sequel has amassed $1.928bn (£1.56bn) globally, overtaking the Tom Holland-led Spider-Man: No Way Home ($1.91bn/£1.55bn) as the sixth-highest-grossing film of all time.

Only five films have surpassed the $2bn mark, as Way of the Water looks set to do: Avengers: Infinity War ($2.04bn/£1.65bn), Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($2.069bn/£1.68bn), Titanic ($2.2bn/£1.78bn), Avengers: Endgame ($2.79bn/£2.26bn), and the first Avatar movie ($2.9bn/£2.35bn).

This of course means that if Way of the Water overtakes Infinity War, Cameron will be responsible for three of the five highest-grossing movies of all time.

Cameron has been open about the pressure on the Avatar sequel to be a box office smash as he has three more sequels in the works.

While the director claimed that the film needed to become the fifth highest-grossing film of all time to break even, Variety reported that he was embellishing and that the release would begin to make a profit once it hit an international gross of $1.5bn (£1.264bn).

At the Golden Globe Awards last week, Cameron called for an end to streaming services.

When asked about his films’s financial success, the director told Variety he “doesn’t look at it in those terms”.

Cameron said he is just happy that people want to be back in cinemas, stating: “Enough of the streaming already. I’m tired of sitting on my a**.”

He added: “As a society, we need to go to the cinema.”

Cameron went on to lose the Golden Globe for Best Director to Steven Spielberg, who won for his biographical film The Fabelmans.

Flo Rida wins $82 million lawsuit against energy drink company Celsius

A Florida jury has ruled in favor of a lawsuit brought forth by Rapper Flo Rida — legal name Tramar Dillard — and awarded him a total of $82.6 million in damages.

On Jan. 18, the rapper best known for songs like “Right Round” and “Whistle” won his lawsuit against the brand Celsius energy drinks after a jury found the company guilty of breaching an endorsement deal with the rapper that ran from 2014 to 2018. The jury also found the brand fraudulently hid information from him.

In a statement obtained by NBC News, the rapper thanked the jury and judge involved in the trial as well as his attorneys.

“This was a long journey, but we prevailed. From the start, I only wanted what I worked for, nothing more, nothing less,” he said in his statement. “I was instrumental in the Celsius that you know and love today. When this journey began, no one knew Celsius. I took Celsius all over the world through my videos, concerts, appearances, and social media. I have gained a new respect for the judicial system. God bless America.”

The rapper filed the lawsuit in 2021 and claimed Celsius owed him millions in added stock and royalties under the terms of their deals.

During closing arguments, Flo Rida’s attorney John Uustal said his client had not sought a specific dollar amount in his lawsuit but the 1% ownership he was promised.

In a separate statement obtained by NBC, Uustal said that he and his client relied on the jury to navigate the “complicated legal issues” involved in the case.

“We said we’d trust the jury to do the right thing, we’d trust the verdict, accept the decision of the jury. And it’s amazing how detailed the jury verdict was, how they filled out a complicated and extensive jury verdict in such a way that made it clear beyond any doubt that they understood all the most difficult issues in the case and resolved them,” said the statement. “I’m glad, in this case, the jury concluded that Flo Rida should get what he worked for.”

Met Gala 2023 date, dress code revealed: Dua Lupa, Michaela Coel to co-chair Karl Lagerfeld-themed event

New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art is ready to get the full glam treatment in just a few months.

The Met Gala, the annual benefit for the museum’s Costume Institute that gathers fashion and pop culture’s most famous and powerful people, will take place May 1 — following its usual calendar placement on the first Monday in May. The theme, which corresponds with the changing fashion exhibit, will honor late designer Karl Lagerfeld.

Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour announced the 2023 theme during Paris Fashion Week in September. Vogue announced the date, the famous names who will co-chair the annual fundraiser alongside Wintour and the official dress code on Instagram Wednesday.

“Paying tribute to Mr. Lagerfeld is not solely a task for the museum’s curators: the 2023 dress code is ‘In honor of Karl,’” the publication wrote.

Here’s everything to know about the Oscars of fashion.

When is the Met Gala?

The 2023 Met Gala will take place May 1.

Last year’s Met Gala, themed “In America: An Anthology of Fashion,” marked a return to the event’s annual schedule for the first Monday in May after the pandemic caused the 2020 gala to be canceled and the 2021 gala to be postponed to September.

What is the 2023 Met Gala theme?

Stars, influencers and fashion figures attending the Met Gala this year will be honoring late designer Karl Lagerfeld.

The German-born couturier worked for decades simultaneously as creative director of many fashion houses including Chanel, Fendi and Chloé in addition to helming his eponymous international fashion label. He died in 2019 at 85.

The Met’s costume institute exhibit will transform to reflect “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” and will see some 150 of his creations assembled together to see his “stylistic language,” a Met press release says. Lagerfeld’s original sketches will also be on display.

Who will co-chair the Met Gala with Anna Wintour?

The exclusive invite list for the Met Gala is mostly under lock and key until the stars arrive on the red carpet for cameras to see. However, a handful of stars are announced as co-chairs ahead of time.

This year Michaela Coel, Dua Lipa, Penelope Cruz and Roger Federer will host the extravagant event alongside Wintour.

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend ‘excited by new arrival’

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are both overjoyed by the arrival of their new baby after a “long road”.

The 37-year-old model – who lost a baby boy named Jack in September 2020 due to pregnancy complications – is feeling excited about the latest addition to their family.

A source shared: “They both really wanted to add another baby to the family. It’s been a long road.”

The insider told PEOPLE that Chrissy – who also has Luna, six, and Miles, four, with John – and her baby are both “doing well”.

Chrissy and John’s two older children are “excited” by the new arrival, too.

The source said: “It’s such an amazing way for them to start the new year.”

In September, John admitted that the pain of losing his son will never “completely go away”.

The award-winning musician explained that the heartbreak will stay with him for the rest of his life.

He said: “That pain is never going to completely go away. You’re never exactly the same after you lose someone.”

John and Chrissy have managed to cope with their heartbreak thanks to their other children.

The 44-year-old music star – who has been married to Chrissy since 2013 – explained: “To have two little ones that we could dote on and nurture and enjoy … They bring us so much joy.

“We just were able to hold each other through what was a very tough time.”

John also revealed that he tempered his own excitement after Chrissy announced her latest pregnancy.

The ‘Who Do We Think We Are’ hitmaker said: “There’s always this sense of cautious optimism, because you know what it’s like to lose one.”

Selena Gomez Appears to Respond to Body-Shaming Comments After Attending Golden Globes

Selena Gomez is still not letting her critics get her down.

The Only Murders in the Building star, a longtime advocate for body positivity, drew several body-shaming comments on social media after she walked the red carpet at the 2023 Golden Globes on Jan. 10. Selena, 30, later appeared on Instagram Live with her award show date, her little sister Gracie Elliot Teefey, 9, and spoke about gaining weight.

“I’m a little bit big right now because I enjoyed myself during the holidays,” she said, as seen in a video reshared on TikTok, before asking her sibling, “Right?”

Gracie replied, “Yeah,” after which Selena began laughing.

The pop star spoke while dressed in her Golden Globes attire—a strapless, plum velvet Valentino Fall 2022 Haute Couture gown with puff sleeves and a long train. At the award show, Selena was nominated for her first Golden Globe, for best performance by an actress in a television series, comedy or musical for her role of Mabel Mora in Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building.

The star has spoken out against body-shamers before. In April 2022, she opened up again about being judged over her appearance.

“So I be trying to stay skinny, but I went to Jack in the Box and I got four tacos, three egg rolls, onion rings and a spicy chicken sandwich,” she said on TikTok. “But honestly, I don’t care about my weight because people bitch about it anyway: ‘You’re too small.’ ‘You’re too big.’ ‘That doesn’t fit.’ ‘Meh meh meh meh.'”

To her critics, she said, “Bitch, I am perfect the way I am. Moral of the story? Bye.”

Pamela Anderson is focusing on herself, not her love life, right now:: ‘It’s really good for me to be alone for the first time’

After multiple trips down the aisle, Pamela Anderson is learning to fly solo.

“Right now it’s really good for me to be alone for the first time,” Anderson, 55, shares in a new interview with CBS Sunday Morning ahead of the release of her new memoir, Love Pamela ,and Netflix documentary, Pamela: A Love Story, both of which are out later this month. “People are in and out of my life, or people come into my life, and I thought, the common denominator in all these relationships is me. So, I need to work on that.”

But the former Baywatch bombshell — whose exes include Motley Crue rocker Tommy Lee, second husband Kid Rock, poker player Rick Salomon (whom she wed twice) and bodyguard Dan Hayhurst, whom she wed in 2020 after revealing that she and film producer and purported fifth husband Jon Peters were never legally married — hasn’t entirely ruled out romance.

When asked by CBS’s Jim Axelrod if she’s all done falling in love,” Anderson laughs and responds, “Don’t know!”

The interview digs deeps into Anderson’s traumatic youth, which included being raised by an abusive father and sexual assault. The actress now recognizes that her relationship with Lee came from her desire to find security. She hoped she had found that in the rock star, whom she married in 1995 after knowing him just four days.

“Tommy and I fell in love. It felt like this really safe place,” she says. “He would arrive at the house on a horse covered in full knight gear on, [like a] knight in shining armor, and read a scroll to me. It was just so hyper-heightened. But it felt good. It felt like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is what it’s all about. This is true love.’ It was so romantic, it was so over-the-top.”

But that level wasn’t something that could be maintained, and their relationship crumbled. Anderson and Lee divorced in 1998, so they briefly reconciled a decade later.

“No, it’s not a foundation for sustainable love. I haven’t done that yet!” Anderson laughs. “I haven’t figured that part out yet!”

Ultimately, it was her two sons from her relationship with Lee, Brandon and Dylan, who forced her to hold it together through all the chaos.

“I was a mother; that saved me,” she says. “You know, if I wasn’t a mom, I don’t think I would have survived.”

Pamela Anderson Says She Has Not Watched Stolen Sex Tape ‘to This Day’: ‘It Was Very Hurtful

Pamela Anderson says that leaked sex tape with ex-husband Tommy Lee is nothing but “stolen property.”

In a preview of an upcoming interview with CBS Sunday Morning‘s Jim Axelrod, Anderson, 55, addressed childhood trauma, her six marriages, and that sex tape — made with Lee, now 60, during a 1995 vacation to Lake Mead — as she promotes her upcoming memoir Love, Pamela and a new Netflix documentary Pamela, a love story.

When asked what she wants people to “understand” about the infamous tape in the upcoming interview, which is set to air on Sunday, she said, “That it was stolen property, that it was two crazy naked people in love.”

“I mean, we were naked all the time and filming each other and being silly, but those tapes were not meant for anybody else to see,” the actress added.

“And I’ve not seen it to this day,” Anderson said of the video, which was stolen from her and Lee’s home, along with the safe it was held inside, by a disgruntled former employee. “It was very hurtful.”

I was a mother. That saved me,” Anderson said of her two sons with Lee: Brandon, now 26, and Dylan, now 25. “You know, if I wasn’t a mom, I don’t think I would’ve survived.”

Elsewhere in the interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Anderson said she feels “like I’m in a really good place” from her home on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.

“I feel like I’ve left here, did something crazy and came back in one piece,” Anderson said in the interview. “Like I said, I don’t know what I’m capable of. I still don’t know, but I think that was the beginning … all the rest of it, it’s, you know, behind me. I feel like I’m in a really good place.”

In the official preview for Anderson’s Netflix documentary, the star addresses the controversy over the tape and says of her image, “I wanna take control of the narrative for the first time.”

“I had to make a career out of the pieces left, but I’m not the damsel in distress,” she says, later adding with a laugh, “I put myself in crazy situations … and survived them.”

Anderson’s interview with Jim Axelrod for CBS Sunday Morning will air Sunday at 9 a.m. ET on CBS. It will also stream on Paramount+.

Before wrapping up his TCA panel today for his FXX series Dave, rapper comedian Dave Burd aka Lil Dicky revealed the guest stars for season 3.

The lineup includes Usher, Rick Ross, Demi Lovato, Don Cheadle, Machine Gun Kelly, Megan Fox, Killer Mike, and Travis Barker.

“That’s just a fraction and the fraction I haven’t named, will blow you away,” said Burd today at TCA.

Burd stars on the show and co-created the series with Jeff Schaffer.

Schaffer said “On Dave, People like playing funhouse versions of themselves or play with their public perception – a real plus for them. Everyone from Lin-Manuel Miranda playing a passive aggressive asshole. People want to come and have fun.”

As previously announced today, season 3 premieres April 5 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on FXX and stream the next day on Hulu. The premiere will include the first two episodes and episodes will stream next day on Hulu.

Dave is headlining his first-ever tour, and looking for love along the way. But as he and the gang crisscross America, they discover firsthand how diverse the cultural landscape of the United States really is – and how often fame puts pressure on love and friendship.

On the show Burd stars as “Dave” (who is also EP, Writer); GaTa as “GaTa;” Andrew Santino as “Mike;” Taylor Misiak as “Ally;” Travis Bennett as “Elz” and Christine Ko as “Emma.”
