Speaker 1 (00:00):
Aaron's Entertainment reports on the press show, Yes, we're still
talking about it. A crew member on the film It
Ends with Us is just now speaking out about the
tension between Blake and Justin. That's lively in Baldoni if
you're not on a first scene basis with this whole story.
Storyboard artist Talia Spencer gave her take in a new
interview on sixteen Minutes Australia, which I never miss you know,

(00:23):
a day.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Of that country.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Yeah, I watched it for you guys, and you know
I'll pass along the message, saying she believes Blake may
have mistaken Justin's kindness for weakness and try to take
control of the project, which is a theme we keep hearing.
She claims that Justin, who was also a director of
the film, had a strong vision, but that vision seemed
to change because of Blake. She also said that it's

(00:46):
really sad to see the whole film get overshadowed, saying
it'd be nice if everyone could put their swords down
and get along, but we don't really live in that world.
And I do really feel bad for Colleen Hoover, the
author of that book, because here she was just trying
to make a damn movie of her book, and it
definitely got overshadowed by the way. The Courtroom Showdown is

(01:07):
set for trial March ninth, twenty twenty six. So hopefully
then what we've done talking about it, but I also
wonder if it'll even go to that. As of now,
it is actor Mickey Rourke. Yes, it's a slow news day.
May have gotten booted off Celebrity Big Brother, but he's
not going down without a fight, and he is exploring
a legal action against the show for allegedly withholding money
he thinks he's entitled to. His rep claims that producers

(01:30):
deliberately removed him this past Saturday, just one day before
he would have become contractually eligible to receive a lot
more money. On top of that, they say he's being
hit with thousands of dollars worth of deductions from his
current payout.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
It's all over hotel fees.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Apparently he was promised first class accommodations while he was
in London, but while he was on his way, they
told him they will only cover hotel rooms up to
three hundred dollars a night.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
For me.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
That's fine, Like that sounds like a nice hotel but
that problem is he already booked a really swanky hotel
for himself and his team, costing around fifty thousand dollars altogether,
and now he's stuck with the bill.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
And apparently he only.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Did that show because he is having major money problems,
so they are considering doing I think he got kicked
off for what he said, you know about Jojo Siwah
and some other things he said on the show, But
he claims and they claim that they're doing this for money.
And lastly, Home Alone director Christopher Columbus Chris Columbus. Yeah, yeah,

(02:33):
I never knew that, right, I who directed Home Alone's name?

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Christopher Columbus?

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yeah, well, they call him Chris, but I think I
just accidentally put the.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Foot Chris if I had that name, just because I
don't feel like it one of yours.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
I don't want to hear about me and my checks.
I never really thought about that until I said it
out loud.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
And our last name is Columbus. What should we name
or a kid? I don't know, like Dave's no, never Dave?
How about Earl No no no no never? That Christopher
has a nice into it right.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
The Nina, the Penta but he said in an interview
with a San Francisco newspaper that he wishes he could
remove Donald Trump's cameo from the nineteen ninety two sequel
Home Alone two, Lost in New York. He said the
seven second appearance in the movie has become a curse
on him.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
I don't know, it's become an albatross for him. I
just wish it was gone.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Of course, Home Alone two finds Kevin Missus McAllister McAuley
culkin accidentally boarding a flight to New York instead of Miami,
where his family is going for Christmas vacation. Lost in
New York, he stumbles into the Plaza hotel and briefly
meets Trump. He asked him for directions. Trump owned the
Plaza at the time. I don't know why we need
to take it out. But the Simpsons actually kind of

(03:42):
predicted that scene as well, which is crazy. But hey,
I don't know. He says he wants to take him
out of the movie. You know, we never talked about
how negligent those parents are.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
Wild, Like we were talking that kid gonna get left alone,
right times three Home Alones weren't there, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
And like he's going to shop like at a bodega,
like they aren't, like, kid, where's your family?

Speaker 2 (04:06):
We need to learn a lesson the first time, right,
And then he's boarding the wrong flight. I don't know.
We gotta we gotta talk to the parents. I'd like
to know. We just all accepted it. In the nineties,
were like, oh yeah, I guess.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
