Dakota Johnson joins Sandra Bullock's 'Razzie club'
The Fifty Shades of Grey star landed the Worst Actress trophy at the Razzie Awards earlier this year for her performance in the superhero film and she's revealed she got a special message from previous winner Sandra which made her feel better about the dishonour.
During an appearance on the Good Hang podcast, Dakota explained: "I recently actually exchanged texts - well, I got a voice note - from Sandra Bullock, because I don't know if you know, but I won the Razzie for Worst Actress.
"There's a lot of good people who have won that … but Sandra Bullock sent me a voice note, being like: 'I heard you are in the Razzie club and we should have brunch, we should have a monthly brunch.'
"Because I guess she won that the year that she won the Oscar as well. It was in the same year, I think.
"I freaked out getting this message from her because she's so iconic to me, as like a movie star. I was like: 'Oh my God.' I was just crazy."
Sandra won the Worst Actress prize at the Razzie Awards in 2010 for her starring role in All About Steve and just days later, she picked up the Best Actress Oscar for The Blind Side.
The Speed star also picked up the Razzie for Worst Couple for her onscreen partnership with Bradley Cooper in All About Steve.
Dakota's win earlier this year came after her superhero film Madame Webb opened to dismal reviews and a lacklustre reception at the box office last year .
She previously defended the flop in an interview with the Los Angeles Times newspaper, insisting the film's failure was not her fault.
The actress told the publication: "It wasn't my fault. There's this thing that happens now where a lot of creative decisions are made by committee.
"Or made by people who don't have a creative bone in their body. And it's really hard to make art that way. Or to make something entertaining that way.
"And I think unfortunately with Madame Web, it started out as something and turned into something else.
"And I was just sort of along for the ride at that point. But that happens. Bigger-budget movies fail all the time."
Dakota insisted she won't dwell on the film's underwhelming box-office performance, adding: "I don't have a Band-Aid over it. There's no part of me that's like: 'Oh, I'll never do that again' to anything. I've done even tiny movies that didn't do well. Who cares?"

Denzel Washington wishes he had 'prayed more'
Denzel Washington wishes he'd been more active in his faith when he was younger. The 70-year-old actor - who was baptised and obtained a minister license last year - has enjoyed a long and successful career and the only advice he has to offer his younger self is to have been more in contact with God. Asked the advice he'd give a younger Denzel, he told Extra: 'Pray more. That's it. Pray more. That's what I would tell that younger Denzel Washington. Pray more. Get on your knees more.' The Oscar-winning star is currently promoting his new film Highest 2 Lowest - in which he plays a music mogul who is targeted in a ransom plot - and the movie marks his fifth collaboration with Spike Lee, which is always comfortable. He said: 'I don't want to say, 'Just like old times,' but you know, you're back in the saddle. 'He leaves me alone. I don't know what he's doing. And he put together a great team of actors… Wendell [Pierce] and Jeffrey and Michael Potts and myself, and then the young buck A$AP [Rocky], and just let it rip.' Denzel was baptised in a special ceremony at the Kelly Temple Church of God in Christ, in New York City's Harlem neighbourhood just a few days before last Christmas. According to New York Post column PageSix, Archbishop Christopher Bryant revealed Denzel said: "In one week I turn 70. It took a while but I'm here. If [God] can do this for me, there's nothing He can't do for you. The sky literally is the limit." The actor's wife Pauletta Washington - with whom he has four adult children - also spoke of her pride in her husband's spiritual achievements, saying: "Forty-six years later, here I'm still standing next to him as only God will have it. "So, I'm very proud of you. You are the head of our house and you have set a great example for our children, who are now adult children who know the difference because we have shown them the difference." After the ceremony, Denzel posed for a picture holding his certificate of baptism and his minister licence - which will allow him to be ordained in the future. The Training Day star previously opened up about his faith in a recent interview with Esquire magazine, admitting he believes it's not "fashionable" to talk about religion in Hollywood. He said: "When you see me, you see the best I could do with what I've been given by my lord and saviour. I'm unafraid. "I don't care what anyone thinks. See, talking about the fear part of it - you can't talk like that and win Oscars. You can't talk like that and party. You can't say that in this town. "I'm free now. It's not talked about in this town. It's not talked about. It's not talked about. It's not fashionable. It's not sexy. But that doesn't mean people in Hollywood don't believe."

Fergie poses with Kevin Spacey at elite Italian gala amid scandal over new book about marriage to Prince Andrew
Sarah Ferguson has been photographed beaming ear to ear next to 'cancelled' Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey at a posh event in Italy. The Duchess of York, 65, recently attended an 'exclusive evening' as part of Andrea Bocelli and his wife Veronica's Notti Toscane charity dinner. In one photo that is readily available for publication via photo agencies, Fergie eagerly poses with Spacey. Spacey, a two-time Oscar winner, infamously fell from grace in Hollywood in 2017 after he was faced with allegations of sexual assault and misconduct by more than a dozen men. All charges against the 66-year-old actor for sexual misconduct were ultimately dropped or not made due to reasons such as death, refusal to testify, and statute of limitation. It is understood the glitzy event was held on July 28 but photos from the gala have, somewhat mysteriously, largely gone unreported in the British media. Ferguson also declined to post any evidence of her appearance at the gala to her social media account, where she often shares updates about her extensive charity work. The timing of the photo with Spacey coincides with renewed public scrutiny of both the Duke and Duchess of York following the publication of a new book by royal author Andrew Lownie. The bombshell book includes embarrassing revelations about the Duke of York's sex life, links to Jeffrey Epstein as well as unprecedented new information about his business dealings while working as a British trade envoy. Meanwhile, Fergie is painted as not only financially reckless, but so dangerous to the monarchy that the royal family keep her in the fold to protect themselves. Ferguson notoriously accrued millions of dollars of debt while maintaining her royal lifestyle following her split from Prince Andrew in 1996. Ironically, one of the main themes of Lownie's book was Fergie's poor judge of character. Lownie reminds readers that it was Epstein who once stepped in and paid off some of Fergie's debts, which the Duchess later called a 'gigantic error of judgement'. It is understood that Epstein paid £15,000 ($30,000 AUD) toward a £78,000 debt Fergie owed to her onetime personal assistant, Johnny O'Sullivan. The damage to Ferguson's reputation arguably cost far more than the relatively modest gift, which barely made a dent in her debts that reportedly once topped $7 million. Despite divorcing in 1996, the Yorks continue to live together in the palatial Royal Lodge and Fergie has continued to publicly support her ex-husband after his fall from grace. Andrew Lownie's book 'Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York' will be published by HarperCollins on 14 August 2025.

Sharon Stone's rare red carpet appearance with all three of her sons
Don't miss out on the headlines from Celebrity Kids. Followed categories will be added to My News. Sharon Stone is a proud boy mum. The actress, 67, was joined by her three sons, Roan, 25, Laird, 20, and Quinn, 19, for a rare red carpet appearance at Monday's premiere of her new film, Nobody 2, in Los Angeles. Stone wore a navy dress, glasses and a gold bangle bracelet as she posed for pictures with her boys, who all wore suits. Roan had on a pink suit, Laird opted for a grey suit, and Quinn went with a navy pinstripe suit. Along with her kids, Stone took photos with her co-stars Bob Odenkirk and Christopher Lloyd. Stone was a proud mum on the red carpet of her latest film. Picture: Valerie Macon/AFP The action thriller, also starring Connie Nielson, RZA, Colin Hanks, Michael Ironside and John Ortiz, is a sequel to 2021's Nobody, which follows a family man (Odenkirk) who returns to his former life as an assassin. Stone adopted her oldest son with her ex-husband, Phil Bronstein, in 2000. After the pair divorced in 2004, she adopted Laird in 2005 and Quinn in 2006. The Oscar nominee and Bronstein initially shared custody of Roan, but Roan ended up primarily living with his dad in San Francisco during the school year. Stone tried, and failed, to challenge the agreement. 'It broke my heart,' she said on the Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi podcast in 2023 about losing custody of Roan. 'I ended up in the Mayo Clinic with extra heartbeats in the upper and lower chambers of my heart.' She has previously spoken about her heartbreak over the custody battle with her ex. Picture:Stone alleged that her role in the erotic thriller Basic Instinct affected her custody of Roan. 'When the judge asked my child – my tiny little boy, 'Do you know your mother makes sex movies?' This kind of abuse by the system, that it was considered what kind of parent I was because I made that movie,' she said. 'People are walking around with no clothes on at all on regular TV now and you saw maybe like a sixteenth of a second of possible nudity of me – and I lost custody of my child,' Stone added. Stone, who has been a single mum since her divorce, has maintained a close bond with her boys. In May, Stone shared a throwback photo of her sons swimming in the pool to celebrate Mother's Day. 'They boys, now young men, have made my Mother's Day EVERYTHING,' she wrote. Nobody 2 is in cinemas this Thursday.
