Elisabeth Moss Revealed That A 'Handmaid's Tale' Crew Member Asked To Keep The Underwear She Wore During Filming, And Jimmy Kimmel's Reaction Says It All
Elisabeth — who plays June 'Offred' Osborne in the show and serves as an executive producer — spoke about everything from directing some of the episodes this season to taking some items from the set as memorabilia once they wrapped filming.
Elisabeth told host Jimmy that she and the other EPs received an email containing 'a full list of all of the props and costumes' they were allowed to take from the set — and naturally, she decided that she wanted to keep a set of underwear that had been 'specially designed' for her character.
'In a very mature way, I wrote back, 'Dibs,' and then proceeded to say everything I wanted,' Elisabeth began. 'And there was one thing I wanted which was Offred's underwear and set that I wore, that was specially designed.'
However, Elisabeth was soon told that someone had already requested the underwear. I know.
'Someone told me that someone already asked for it,' she said, leaving Jimmy visibly stunned. 'Wait a minute,' he said. 'I know!' she replied.
'This is your custom underwear that you wore, and some creep on the staff requested it in writing?!' Jimmy asked, to which Elisabeth nodded and said, 'I think so.'
Elisabeth went on to reveal that she doesn't know who it was that requested her underwear.
'I don't know who it was. I don't wanna know,' she said. When Jimmy asked why she doesn't want to know, she replied, 'I have to work with these people!'
"I went to work with these people!" she added. "I don't wanna know who wants my underwear!"
Jimmy replied, 'What kind of a crazy thing is that to say?! Oh my God, I hope it's a woman,' before adding, 'Someone made a formal request for your underwear in writing, in an email, that they shared with other people. We need to know who that person is.'
Like Jimmy, I am stunned! LMK your thoughts down below. Meanwhile, you can watch Elisabeth's full appearance on the talk show right here, and you can watch the final season of The Handmaid's Tale on Hulu from April 8.

Halle Berry throws shade at ex David Justice's divorce comments in cheeky birthday post
If Halle Berry has learned anything in her nearly six decades, it's how to take criticism in stride. The Oscar-winning actress, whose ex-husband David Justice opened up about their 90s divorce in a recent interview, seemingly responded to her former spouse's remarks in a cheeky Instagram post on Aug. 14, which coincided with her 59th birthday. Berry shared a series of photos from her birthday celebration, which included festive snaps of the actress lounging seaside in a bikini, spending time with boyfriend Van Hunt and enjoying a slice of chocolate cake. "Phew…! cooking, cleaning and mothering," Berry captioned the post. Berry's social media comment appeared to be a callout addressing Justice's remarks from his "All the Smoke" podcast appearance, during which he reflected on the couple's high-profile relationship (Berry and Justice were married from 1993 to 1997.) "She asked me to marry her after knowing me for five months," Justice said on the Aug. 7 episode. "I don't know if my heart was really into it. But I didn't want to make her feel bad and say no. I was just in the moment, it caught me off-guard." Halle Berry's ex David Justice opens up: Baseball veteran reveals stunning reason for ending marriage David Justice reveals reason for Halle Berry divorce Justice added that he didn't face "a lot of negative attention" until he separated from Berry in 1996. Explaining the reasoning for their split, the former Atlanta Braves outfielder said the state of Berry's domestic life was a red flag for him. "I'm looking at my mom. I'm a Midwest guy. So in my mind, I'm thinking a wife at that time should cook, clean," Justice said. "And I'm thinking, 'OK, if we have kids, is this the woman I want to have kids with and build a family with?' And at that time, as a young guy, she don't cook, don't clean, don't really seem, like, motherly." But looking back, Justice said he could have handled his divorce with Berry differently. "I didn't ease out" of the relationship, the baseball veteran reflected, adding that "my knowledge and my understanding and my wisdom around relationships just wasn't vast." "That girl really did love me, and I can see why she would be so mad at me," Justice said. "Because imagine if you really love somebody, and they tell you they want to break up, and there's nothing you can say to get them back. That had to have been tough on her." Berry is in a long-term relationship with Hunt, a Grammy-winning singer-songwriter. Her marriage to Justice was in the 90s. She then married Eric Benét (2001 to 2005) and Olivier Martinez (2013 to 2016). She has two children: Nahla, 17, whose dad is ex-partner Gabriel Aubry, and son Maceo, 11, whom she had with Martinez.

Craven and dishonest: Behind the Toronto bid to censor an Oct. 7 documentary
The folks in charge of the Toronto International Film Festival now claim they were never going to prevent the screening of a documentary that tells the truth about Hamas' horrific Oct. 7, 2023, terror attacks — but the disclaimers are so hedged (and dishonest) that you still can't be sure the show will go on. First and foremost is the absurd excuse that TIFF's lawyers supposedly thought the filmmaker needed 'legal clearance' to use clips of the savagery as filmed and livestreamed by the terrorists on their GoPros. That is, permission from Hamas to use footage of the terrorists mauling women and slaughtering innocents. Nonsense: Several other movies have already used such footage; one of them, 'We Will Dance Again,' won an Emmy in June! Rather, this was obviously a wormy way to get out of showing Canadian director Barry Avrich's 'The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue,' which shows how retired Israeli Gen. Noam Tibon rescued his family and other survivors of the Oct. 7 attacks. Because the truth might make viewers more sympathetic to Israel. Of course the TIFF folks carefully didn't complain about that, though they did say the risk of protests against the movie might also make it impossible to show. (We've also heard suggestions that festival staff were threatening to walk off the job if the documentary wasn't scrubbed.) Sorry: Admitting you'll censor in the face of such threats makes a mockery of TIFF's vow that 'we will defend artistic excellence and artistic freedom.' And falling back on spurious worries about terrorists' intellectual-property rights is still blatantly knuckling under to the hecklers' veto. Cameron Bailey, the TIFF CEO, denies 'censorship' was ever in play, claims he's 'committed' to showing the film and has his legal team 'considering all options available' to somehow show it after all. We understand not wanting to admit that Israel-haters are running the show at your festival, but Bailey's careful hedging shows that he's not even certain he can defy the antisemites' wishes.
