Magic Mike’s Last Dance gyrated its way into theaters on February 10, much to the delight of millions. While the film has many of the same characters from the first two movies, it also features several new ones, including the gorgeous Salma Hayek Pinault. Pinault plays Maxandra Mendoza, a wealthy socialite who is healing from her crumbled marriage to a media mogul.
So, how much do Maxandra and Pinault have in common? As it turns out, not very much. The actor is happily married to Francois-Henri Pinault, a wealthy businessman. And she has nothing but praise and admiration for her husband.

Poised for a breakout 2023, Chappell Roan kicked off her first headlining tour across North America earlier this month and shares the much anticipated new video for her single, ‘Casual’. The video for the early hit, which landed on ‘Best of 2022’ lists in Rolling Stone, Billboard, LA Times, Glamour and more, was directed by Hadley Hillel and puts a cinematic twist on the heroine’s narrative with Chappell falling for the most unexpected love interest.
“The video is a representation of how I dream of a serious relationship with someone in my head, but in reality it may be far from that. Even though it may not feel like it, if there are no labels, it’s just casual,” Chappell reflects on the video for ‘Casual’.
Co-produced by frequent collaborator Daniel Nigro and Ryan Linvill, the song is a visceral ode to the painful ambiguities of modern dating and youthful lust,...

Pinault has been open about her healthy relationship for years. She often praises her husband for being so loving and supportive of her career. However, in a recent interview with Glamour, the actor dropped a bombshell. As it turns out, she was slow to warm up to the idea of getting married.

For many actors, being famous isn’t everything that it’s cracked up to be. And for Lawrence, fame might also be the one aspect of acting that she doesn’t enjoy. One of the reasons she briefly considered turning down The Hunger Games was because she didn’t want her life changing too much. The potential fame that could’ve come with a mega-franchise was seen as a huge negative for her.

It may be difficult for some to imagine anyone else in Hathaway’s starring role in Devil Wears Prada. But initially, the studio wasn’t too sold on Hathaway, and was trying to get a bigger star at the time to play Andy Sachs.
“We started negotiating with Annie to make a deal, and that didn’t go well with the studio.… We offered it to Rachel McAdams three times. The studio was determined to have her, and she was determined not to do it,” Devil director David Frankel once told Entertainment Weekly.

Salma Hayek is a happily married woman but it took a long road to get there.
The actress married French businessman François-Henri Pinault in 2009 on Valentine’s Day. Ahead of their anniversary, Hayek is thinking back to the “intervention” that led to their union.
“I didn’t even know I was getting married that day,” she recalled to Glamour, via People. “It was like an intervention. I don’t think I ever told this story. No, they just took me to the court. My parents, my brother, they were all ganging up on me. I had a phobia of the marriage thing.”
The two had been dating since 2006 and even welcomed a daughter together in 2007.
Still, she had to be “dragged” to the courthouse by her family to go through the ceremony.

Last week’s Emmy awards saw big winners gush with gratitude over their agents, managers, and audiences, but there was one notable benefactor to many stars that went unthanked: the injectable drug semaglutide, whose brand name is Ozempic.
The drug is an insulin regulator for the pre-diabetic, made by the Danish pharma juggernaut Novo Nordisk, whose primary side effect is dramatic weight loss. It has saturated the industry in recent months, helping the beautiful and wealthy shed extra pounds in the never-ending Los Angeles pastime of optimizing appearances. Hollywood nutritionist Matt Mahowald tells Variety that the chief benefits of the injections are “moderating and pulling back insulin secretion, and slowing down your stomach from emptying. It promotes satiation from food.”
One top powerbroker told Variety that half of her call sheet last week was full of friends and clients wanting to discuss the risks of Ozempic, which has claimed devotees...
