Kirsten Dunst reveals son James suffered 'serious health scare' while shooting new film
Kirsten Dunst's next turn on the big screen may earn big laughs, but there was some harrowing drama off-screen. The Oscar-nominated actress, who shares two children with husband and fellow actor Jesse Plemons, revealed that her son James suffered a medical emergency while shooting her upcoming film, "The Entertainment System Is Down." The dark comedy, written and directed by Ruben Östlund, was shot in Budapest and stars Dunst, 43, alongside Keanu Reeves and Tobias Menzies. In an Aug. 20 interview with Town & Country Magazine, Dunst shared that the medical ordeal took place while Plemons, 37, and their children were staying with her in the Hungarian capital. Although Dunst and Plemons had rented a home, with plans of remaining for the film's production, things changed course when James, 4, had a "serious health scare." While the actress didn't go into details on James' medical ordeal, Dunst confirmed that "everyone is fine now." After the incident, Plemons took James and their other son, 7-year-old Ennis, back to Los Angeles while Dunst remained in Budapest. Kirsten Dunst gets nostalgic: 'Bring It On' star recites cheer in surprise appearance at movie screening Dunst, who returned home in April for a brief visit, said she experienced some parental anxiety after the health scare, likening her fear to the horror film "'Final Destination,' where you're imagining all the things that could go wrong, worst-case scenarios happening to your child." "I have never seen that movie, but I know the concept," Dunst added. "That's how it feels to be a mother at times." Dunst and Plemons welcomed their first child, son Ennis, in May 2018, followed by James in May 2021. The couple married in July 2022. Kirsten Dunst interview: 'Civil War' actress talks rehearsing with her 5-year-old Dunst told Town & Country Magazine that James' health scare "brought us together as a family in such a deeper way." The actress added that she and Plemons will soon be heading to The Bahamas for a family vacation. Why the tropical getaway? Dunst said James' request was simple: "I want to go to a beach where my sandcastle won't wash away."

Austin Butler Battles A Bee To Protect Zoë Kravitz
Austin Butler is making waves, again. It's not because everyone's thirsting over those new Men's Health photos. And it's not because he got too stoned from an edible and awkwardly danced on stage with Bad Bunny. Austin's literally making waves because he protected his Caught Stealing co-star Zoë Kravitz from a potential bee sting. On Tuesday, at the UK premiere of the new Darren Aronofsky crime thriller, Austin and Zoë walked the carpet in complementary Saint Laurent outfits, and they looked very sweet — perhaps, too sweet. When a rogue bee tried to pollinate the actors as they posed for photos, Zoë and Austin attempted to wave the insect away from her face before it set its sights on the Dune 2 actor. Austin, Zoë, and Darren were visibly amused by the bee, who I'm convinced is Barry B. Benson from 2007's Bee Movie trying to make a comeback. The best part about this insect interaction is that it's not Austin's first rodeo with a bumblebee on a red carpet. In May, while posing for pictures during the Cannes Film Festival premiere of Eddington, Austin tried to save Emma Stone from a bee. When the bee buzzed into their space, Pedro Pascal laughed, Emma dodged, and Austin unsuccessfully tried to blow the bee away. Fortunately, Austin has improved his technique since the last time. Austin revealed what went down during a Tuesday, Aug. 12 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. "Some things just happen, and you don't really realize what's happening in the moment," Austin explained. "[Emma] said, 'Bee, bee, bee!' And then I look, and there's actually a bumblebee that's attacking..." he told Jimmy. "And then Pedro starts laughing, and then I started blowing the bee away. That was my reaction." Austin admitted that he "didn't want to hurt the bee," and that's why the video might appear a little suspect. "It kind of looks like I'm blowing the bee at her. You know? So I was doing my best to try to get the bee to just playfully get away." In Caught Stealing, Austin plays Hank, a former baseball star turned bartender who gets involved in the world of 1990s New York City crime. Zoë plays Yvonne, Hank's love interest. Caught Stealing will be in theaters on Aug. 29. Do you love all things TV and movies?
