Bill Belichick keeps relitigating his disastrous CBS interview
Bill Belichick is one of the greatest football coaches of all time. His P.R. instincts leave much to be desired. Beyond entrusting his personal brand to his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, Belichick has a bad habit of not letting sleeping dogs lie and/or dead horses go unbeaten. Case in point, now reports that Belichick's book publicist assured Belichick that the disastrous CBS interview would be only about Belichick's book. Advertisement The report emerged today, more than a month after the CBS interview aired. And it has reanimated a dormant issue. The article cites an April 9 email from Simon & Schuster's senior director of publicity David Kass to Belichick. Wrote Kass: "I can assure you that the conversation [will be] about the book." Kass also reportedly told Belichick the CBS interview would be a "puff piece . . . designed to make everyone look good and sell books." (Somewhat surprisingly, the new report doesn't blame Kass for suggesting that Belichick wear an old football jersey with a giant hole in the neck to the CBS interview.) Per Belichick was "furious" when the CBS interview strayed beyond book topics. Then there's this: "Sources say Belichick had actually shot down several interview opportunities Kass had put in front of him over concerns the media outlets would use his book promotion as a way to pry into subjects not related to the actual book." Advertisement It's a fascinating development, for several reasons. First, the story is smeared with Belichick's (or Hudson's) fingerprints. Which means that one or both decided to dredge up a dead story, weeks after the fact. Which also means that one or both believed the new story would cause people to say, "Well, now we understand why she weirdly refused to let him answer the basic question of how they met." Second, one or both decided to throw Kass under the bus, both directly and by potentially instigating a stray, conspiracy theory-inducing remark that Kass "once helped Jeff Benedict's Robert Kraft-themed book, The Dynasty, reach the New York Times' bestseller list." Kass is painted as the villain in this, the one who lied to Belichick about what the CBS interview was going to be. Third, Belichick did other interviews in which questions unrelated to the book were asked — after the CBS sit-down. Michael Strahan asked a few personal questions on Good Morning America. Ryan Clark asked questions about Hudson on The Pivot Podcast. (Then again, those questions apparently were scripted to help Belichick undo the CBS-related P.R. damage.) Advertisement Fourth, Belichick and/or Hudson apparently have decided to try to get on their side by spoon-feeding information to the outlet. Given the extent to which had been hammering all things Belichick and Hudson, a subtle quid pro quo that gets to play nice in exchange for current and future information would be a smart move by Belichick. Make no mistake about it. The issue is back on the front burner because Belichick and/or Hudson decided it would be a smart move to point a finger at Kass, weeks after the fact. And it's just the latest time Belichick and/or Hudson have blamed others for their own blunders. He/she/they have blamed CBS for editing the interview to create a "false narrative." He/she/they have blamed North Carolina for not having a sufficient P.R. function in place when he arrived. He/she/they now blame Kass for failing to (wait for it) "do his job" properly. It's always someone else's fault. It's never their fault. And they presumably think people will buy the idea that they're the victims of widespread incompetence and malfeasance.

Leah Remini addresses rumored feud with JLo: 'Friendships ebb and flow'
Leah Remini addresses rumored feud with JLo: 'Friendships ebb and flow' Show Caption Hide Caption Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck separated in April: Reports Jennifer Lopez filed to divorce Ben Affleck on the two-year anniversary of their Georgia wedding ceremony. Their romance dates back to 2002. Leah Remini is addressing feud rumors with Jennifer Lopez. In an Us Weekly cover story this week, the "King of Queens" alum suggested that there are highs and lows with JLo, her once-best friend. "Sometimes you don't talk to people every day like you used to, but that doesn't mean the love is lost," Remini added. "Friendships ebb and flow. That doesn't mean we're at odds." But Remini said that "right after the divorce, we'd text each other loving messages of support" in reference to her friend's divorce from actor Ben Affleck and her own split from Angelo Pagán last year. Tabloid feud rumors surfaced after Remini was absent from Bennifer's 2022 wedding in Georgia. The pair have been friends for over two decades. Leah Remini announces split from husband Angelo Pagán after 21 years "I cherish my friendships and not everybody is meant to be in your life in the way that they were. When you grow out of that person that you were, that doesn't mean that you are at odds with them," Remini said. "I have many friends that I don't talk to every day. That doesn't mean we're at odds – it's just that I'm at a different place and so are they." She also discussed her friendships with her former "The Talk" co-hosts Holly Robinson Peete and Julie Chen Moonves, the "Big Brother" host's husband and embattled former CBS executive Les Moonves, "RuPaul's Drag Race" judge Michelle Visage, comedian Chelsea Handler and actress Tisha Campbell. Remini noted, too, that she has friendships with people "that are not in the business that are also meaningful." The actress famously disavowed Scientology 12 years ago and told the entertainment outlet that she is in a "in a different place" since leaving the controversial belief system. "I really retreated (after leaving Scientology)," Remini told Us. "But also not really wanting to leave the house that much. I started to come out a bit but was still careful and cautious." The "Dancing with the Stars" alum may throw caution to the wind in one place: the ballroom. She detailed her ballroom dancing hobby, shouting out her former pro, Tony Dovolani, from the dancing competition show. "Tony Dovolani made me a fan," she said of her "DWTS" partner. "I kept it going. And then my dance teacher became part of the family. He came over yesterday, brought my mom flowers. This, to me, means something. It's a meaningful relationship."
