Ralph Fiennes Calls Chelsea Handler a 'Good Girl' During Her 'Babygirl' Milk Moment at Critics Choice Awards
Ralph Fiennes and Chelsea Handler teamed up for a cheeky Babygirl moment at the 2025 Critics Choice Awards.
In between awards at the Friday, Feb. 7 ceremony in Los Angeles, host Handler, 49, stood next to Fiennes' table and began praising Nicole Kidman's 2024 erotic thriller Babygirl.
"Babygirl was one of my favorite movies this year because I love everything Nicole Kidman does and it even inspired me to hire a new sexy intern," she said, as someone off camera handed her a full glass of milk, in reference to one of the movie's unforgettable scenes.
"Oh, this must be from him, thank you," Handler said as she began to drink the full glass with two sips.
As she drank the full glass of milk, Fiennes, whom Handler identified as attractive in movie roles across his career in her monologue to begin the ceremony, further amused the crowd by repeating Harris Dickinson's line from Babygirl: "Good girl. Good girl. Good girl."
"Keep going, don't stop, go on, go on," Fiennes said, as Handler finished the drink and moved the ceremony on to its next award.

In Babygirl, Kidman, 57, portrays a New York City tech company CEO who engages in a risky affair with a young intern (Dickinson, 28) as she and her husband (Antonio Banderas) struggle to keep a spark alive in their marriage.
Earlier in the night, Fiennes accepted the best acting ensemble award on behalf of Conclave, the drama he starred in with Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow, Carlos Diehz, Isabella Rossellini, Lucian Msamati and Sergio Castellito, among others.
"Thank you Critics Choice, on behalf of the extraordinary group of eminences that you saw — we all enjoyed being in our red skirts together," Fiennes said in that speech.

Kristin Cavallari says ‘a weight has been lifted' after ‘cutting ties' with her father
Kristin Cavallari has opened up about her decision to no longer speak to her father. The former reality television star revealed in an interview with People published on Monday that choosing not to speak to her father, Dennis Cavallari, years ago turned out to be the 'best decision.' 'I mean, honestly, and this might sound messed up to some people, but it's the best decision I've ever made, cutting my dad out of my life. Such a weight has been lifted from me,' she told the publication. 'There's not one day where I miss him. I don't know if it was two or three years ago, but I mean, I was an adult, let's say I was 35 [when I decided]. It was 35 years of buildup to that point.' The Hills alum — who shares sons Camden, 12, Jaxon, 11, and daughter Saylor, 9, with her ex-husband, former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler — said the rift between her and her father began when he 'crossed the boundary' with her children. Although she didn't provide any further information regarding what her father did to her children, she added that he 'couldn't even apologize' after. 'Like, you're just gaslighting me. I don't have time for that anymore,' she said, noting that she was 'happy' with her choice. 'If someone's not bringing you joy, if people are only bringing you hurt and sadness and anger, what is the point? Even if it's a parent, life's too short.' Cavallari has previously discussed growing up with a narcissistic father during an episode of her Let's Be Honest podcast in December 2023. At the time, she spoke with psychologist Dr. Sherrie Campbell about narcissism. Throughout their discussion, Cavallari admitted that because her father has had narcissistic tendencies, she has cut him out of her life and they are no longer on speaking terms. 'I cut my dad out of my life about two years ago, which has honestly been the best thing I've ever done,' she said. 'I actually didn't realize that my dad was a narcissist until I was an adult.' In the past, the Laguna Beach star has been candid about the strained relationship she shares with her father. She explained to Campbell that when she was younger, she didn't like being around him because he didn't make her feel like she was good enough. She continued: 'But then the flip of that is, sometimes he would put me on this pedestal and talk me up. Now as an adult looking back, it was when it benefited you and made you look good.'

Kate Hudson Says Mindy Kaling Was Giving Notes On ‘Running Point' From The Hospital: 'Isn't Mindy Literally In Labor?'
Mindy Kaling certainly has a strong work ethic, so says Running Point star and executive producer Kate Hudson.

Danny DeVito Admits He 'Lusted After' Michelle Pfeiffer on 'Batman Returns' Set
Danny DeVito spoke with Colin Farrell, his fellow portrayer of the DC Comics villain the Penguin, for Variety's Actors on Actors series DeVito admitted that during the filming of 1992's Batman Returns, he 'lusted after' costar Michelle Pfeiffer, who played Catwoman 'Be still my beating Penguin heart,' quipped DeVitoDanny DeVito is getting candid about former costar Michelle Pfeiffer. In his conversation with Colin Farrell for Variety's Actors on Actors series, DeVito, 80, admitted that he 'lusted' after Pfeiffer while the two were filming 1992's Tim Burton-directed Batman Returns. 'She was a goddess,' said DeVito, who played the villainous Penguin opposite Pfeiffer's Catwoman and Michael Keaton's Batman. 'If I knew she was going to be in a scene that day …' he trailed off. Farrell, 49, quipped, 'Did you brush your teeth that morning?' 'I got all flushed,' responded the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star. 'Put extra makeup on — 'Give me another pound of makeup.' It was very difficult.' Pfeiffer, now 67, was 'just so wonderful. And I lusted after her,' DeVito added. He then agreed with Farrell that it was his character, Oswald Cobblepot a.k.a. the Penguin, who was doing the lusting. 'I kind of feel like she liked it. She liked Oswald," DeVito said. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. In Batman Returns, Selina Kyle a.k.a. Catwoman rejects Oswald's advances. In 2021, however, DeVito wrote a short story in which the two characters were romantically involved. It was featured in DC Comics' Gotham City Villains, an anthology comic celebrating Batman's rogues gallery. 'I got into the fact that I've always been a big fan of Michelle Pfeiffer's, and the Penguin obviously lusts after Catwoman,' the Oscar nominee told Entertainment Weekly at the time. 'So I figured I'd put those two together.' Farrell, who played the same role in HBO's drama The Penguin, which aired last fall, asked DeVito if he'd play the DC Comics villain again. 'Absolutely,' answered DeVito. 'You can go off the rails with something. The operatic element of Tim Burton's Batman Returns was my favorite thing about it — the music and sets and the whole thing. The Shakespeare of it — 'All the world's a stage.' Oswald's realm and his penguins and his minions and his passion. I loved that.' DeVito later added that his character "would be very content" within his sewer kingdom in Batman Returns — 'as long as I could get Catwoman to visit me every once in a while: Be still my beating Penguin heart.' After a recent guest star role in a crossover episode with Abbott Elementary, DeVito will continue as a main cast member of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, airing its 17th season beginning July 9 on FXX. Following his 2024 series The Penguin and Sugar, Farrell will next star in Kogonada's A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (in theaters Sept. 19) and Edward Berger's The Ballad of a Small Player. He will also reprise his role as the Penguin in the planned sequel to Matt Reeves' 2022 hit The Batman starring Robert Pattinson. Read the original article on People
