Zoe Saldaña says she ‘collapsed' immediately following her Oscars win for ‘Emilia Pérez'
It turns out Zoe Saldaña was more than just emotionally drained after tearfully accepting her supporting actress Oscar for 'Emilia Pérez' at this year's Academy Awards — she was also worn out physically. The 46-year-old actor explained Wednesday on the ABC talk show 'Live With Kelly and Mark' how she had been fighting a cold and felt fully exhausted immediately following one of her career-defining moments. 'I collapsed right after. I lost my voice within an hour after I won the award,' she said. 'I couldn't stand on those heels that I had. All I wanted to do was crawl in bed and maybe cry. I don't know why, I just needed to cry.' The 'Avatar' star noted that up until that point her body was running on all cylinders for months on end during awards season. 'Your body is running on pure adrenaline so you know that your immune system is in optimal condition, but once you tell your body that it's over, then everything sort of collapses,' Saldaña said. The Oscar victory capped an impressive awards season run for the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' actor, having won the Golden Globe, BAFTA, SAG and Critics' Choice awards for her role as Mexico City attorney Rita Castro in 'Emilia Pérez.' While her performance was almost universally celebrated and well-regarded, the film as a whole was heavily criticized for its incomplete and offensive portrayals of transgender issues and the lack of consideration taken in depicting Mexico. LGBTQ+ media advocacy group GLAAD declared the film is 'Not Good Trans Representation.' The organization did not nominate 'Emilia Pérez' for any GLAAD Media Awards. Although physically and emotionally exhausted, Saldaña managed to make some attention-grabbing statements in the Oscars press room after a Mexican journalist noted that the movie's presentation of Mexico was 'really hurtful for us Mexicans.' 'First of all, I'm very, very sorry that you and so many Mexicans felt offended,' Saldaña said in the defense of the film. 'That was never our intention. We spoke and came from a place of love, and I will stand by that.' She went on to further disagree with the Mexican journalist's point of view regarding the centrality and importance of Mexico in the 13-time Oscar nominated movie. 'For me, the heart of this movie was not Mexico. We were making a film about friendship. We were making a film about four women,' Saldaña explained. 'And these women are still very universal women that are struggling every day, but trying to survive systemic oppression and trying to find the most authentic voices.' Outside of the issues within the film, much of the main cast and crew of the movie was bogged down by mostly self-inflicted negative press. Actor Karla Sofía Gascón faced backlash in January after Canadian writer Sarah Hagi resurfaced tweets dating from 2016 to 2023 that spoke negatively of Muslims' clothing, language and culture in her home country of Spain. Additionally, Gascón caught heat for resurfaced comments about the 2020 killing of George Floyd, the ensuing racial reckoning, the Black Lives Matter movement and the COVID-19-era Academy Awards ceremony in 2021. Gascón later apologized for her previous online remarks and deactivated her X account. The film's director Jacques Audiard spoke openly on record about how little he prepped to portray Mexico and denigrated the Spanish language during his press tour. When asked by a Mexican journalist at a red carpet event about how much he had to study up on Mexico and Mexican culture to prepare for the movie, Audiard gave a telling answer. 'No, I didn't study that much. What I needed to know, I already knew a little about,' the filmmaker said. 'It was more about capturing the little details and we came a lot to Mexico to see actors, to see locations, to see the decorations and so on.' Speaking with the French outlet Konbini, Audiard spoke down on the Spanish language, saying, 'Spanish is a language of modest countries, of developing countries, of the poor and migrants.' Audiard later apologized for his comments after the movie received backlash from Mexican audiences. Selena Gomez, who played a pivotal supporting role in the film, was criticized for her proficiency in Spanish. Mexican actor Eugenio Derbez was among those who called out Gomez's performance and Spanish language ability. Gomez has previously said her Spanish fluency waned after she started working in television at age 7. She responded to the criticism on social media, saying, 'I did the best I could with the time I was given. Doesn't take away from how much work and heart I put into this movie.' Derbez later apologized.

Florence Pugh shows off her style credentials with THREE glamorous outfit changes in one day during Thunderbolts* press tour in NYC
Florence Pugh is the gift that keeps on giving, serving not one but three incredible looks during a whirlwind Thunderbolts* press day out in NYC on Wednesday. The actress, 29, kicked things off with a laid-back outfit as she arrived in the Big Apple, donning a white Wrangler tee paired with matching white jeans. She completed the casual look with blue Adidas Gazelle trainers and a pop of colour from a chic yellow handbag. Florence added a brown baseball cap and shielded her eyes with classic aviator sunglasses as she stepped out of her cab alongside her team. Just hours later, she amped up the glamour as she arrived at Good Morning America in a crisp, all-white ensemble, to promote her latest Marvel blockbuster. Florence looked sophisticated in a tailored white suit jacket and coordinating mini skirt that showed off her toned legs. She elevated the look with silver pointed heels and accessorised with sleek silver-framed sunglasses. Her blonde hair was styled in a soft half up-do, complemented by rosy pink lipstick for a polished finish. The Black Widow star looked radiant and confident as ever as she posed for cameras ahead of her appearance. But the fashion show didn't stop there. Later in the day, Florence turned heads yet again in a dramatic black off-the-shoulder maxi dress. She added a pair of silver statement earrings and a fresh palette of make-up with a deep pink lipstick. She added a pair of silver statement earrings and a fresh palette of make-up with a deep pink lipstick. The actress, who has been busy promoting her new movie Thunderbolts, arrived at the Live With Kelly and Mark show in the city for her latest stop on the press tour. She is reprising her role as Black Widow assassin Yelena Belova after first taking on the role in the 2021 film Black Widow and the Disney+ series Hawkeye. The premise of the Marvel blockbuster - which was directed by Jake Schreier - follows a group of antiheroes who are forced into a dangerous mission that 'could bring them redemption if they unite as a team'. She is starring along a A-list cast including David Harbour, Sebastian Stan, Harrison Ford, Hannah John-Kamen, Rachel Weisz and many others. She put on a show-stopping display at the star-studded Thunderbolts* premiere, where she was joined by her friends and family. Her beloved Granny Pat was firmly by her side after sweetly becoming somewhat of a permanent fixture at Florence's movie premieres. She was also joined for the first time by her boyfriend Finn Cole in their red carpet debut. Though the Peaky Blinders star, 29, and the Oscar-nominated actress didn't pose for any photos as a couple, he joined her family for a sweet group shot. Finn looked in high spirits as he beamed for the camera beside Florence's best friend Olive McHugh. The couple are thought to have been dating for several months, however neither of them have officially confirmed their relationship. While she wouldn't name Finn, Florence confirmed her relationship status during her October cover shoot with Vogue, and has confessed she is very much in love and is approaching their romance differently to things in the past. She confirmed: 'I am [in a relationship]. OK, so something that I resonate with is that I believe that if magic is real, then it's falling in love.' Florence candidly revealed that she and her partner were 'figuring out what we actually are' and admitted she wanted to start a family one day. She and Finn have been friends for years, but were first reported to be secretly dating after they were seen slipping out of the after-party for the London premiere of Netflix hit The Perfect Couple together in September. They had previously been seen partying at Glastonbury Festival together, while Florence had been spotted liking his Instagram posts and shared her delight when it was revealed he had landed a role in the theatre production Red Speedo. She commented on the post: 'Oh my gosh this is unbelievably exciting!' and added that she'd be bringing her famous grandmother, sharing: 'Granny Pat wants to come... #obvi'.

Eva Longoria recalls her Pope Francis faux pas following pontiff's passing
Eva Longoria blurted out that she and her husband had previously been divorced when Pope Francis was preparing to bless ahead of their marriage. The 'Only Murders in the Building' actress and her husband José Bastón were fortunate enough to meet the late Pope Francis in 2016, just weeks before their wedding, but Eva made a faux pas when the pontiff - who passed away on Easter Monday (21.04.25) aged 88, following a stroke and heart failure - was about to bless the couple. Speaking on 'Live With Kelly and Mark', she said: "I was so fortunate to meet him. "He actually blessed Pepe and I right before we got married. "We went to Rome and my husband was like, 'Do you want to meet the Pope?' And I was like, 'Yes!' "It was like two months before we got married, so we're standing there and he moves along. "He speaks Spanish, and my husband speaks Spanish, and I kept saying, 'How do you say your holiness in Spanish?' "And my husband would say it. It was a very hard word. "I was practicing it and practicing it and he's getting closer, and I was practicing it and then he gets in front of me and I go, 'Hello, your Holiness.' "It didn't come out [in Spanish]. "So my husband asked him, 'Will you please bless us? We're about to get married.' And he goes, 'Of course, of course.' "So he grabs our hands, and he starts the blessing and I go, 'We're divorced! Just so you know. I know that's a bad thing. I felt like you should know this. We're both divorced. But he has children, so we can't get it annulled. It's a long thing.' "And my husband is like, 'Shut up.' "He [Pope Francis] said, 'Do you love each other?' And I said, 'Yes, we do,' and then he gave us a blessing." Eva also met Pope Francis a second time, when she made her sister Lisa's dreams come true. She added: "I did meet him a second time at The White House, when he was with [former US President Barack] Obama, and it was right in between the same time. "I have an older sister with special needs, and so I'd asked her, 'Who do you most want to meet in the world, Lisa?' "I thought she was going to say Brad Pitt or George Clooney, and she goes, 'The Pope.' "And I go, 'Oh, that's a little hard.' "So I took her to The White House and it's a big procession. All these cardinals who are coming out are archbishops or whatever, and she goes, 'Is that him? There he is.' And I was like, 'I could've just got a bishop and pretended it was the Pope. She wouldn't have known.' "But that was her wish, to meet him." The former 'Desperate Housewives' star also thanked the late Pope Francis for being an "ally to many of us". She wrote on Instagram: "Rest in Peace, Your Holiness Pope Francis. Thank you for being an ally to many of us and speaking up for the marginalized. Your compassion, kindness and humility will always be remembered (sic)"

The 50-year-old Searching for Spain star splits her time between Mexico and Spain with husband José Bastón and their five-year-old son Santiago. Longoria — who is a Corpus Christi, Texas native with Spanish heritage — revealed she was drawn to the Andalucía region of Spain.

He actually blessed Pepe and I right before we got married,' she recalled, using her husband's nickname. Eva detailed, 'We went to Rome and my husband was like, "Do you want to meet the Pope?" And I was like, "Yes!"' She remembered practicing the Spanish word for 'holiness' intently ahead of meeting the Spanish-speaking, first Pope of Latin heritage. But when the moment came to say it, she hilariously reverted to English, greeting him with, 'Hello, Your Holiness.' Using her Instagram platform on Monday morning, Longoria shared photos from the special day, adding a heartfelt caption. 'Rest in Peace, Your Holiness Pope Francis. Thank you for being an ally to many of us and speaking up for the marginalized. Your compassion, kindness and humility will always be remembered,' she wrote in tribute.

This Resurfaced Conversation Between Harris Dickinson And Drew Starkey About Adrien Brody's Alleged 'Filthy' Habit Has Aged Scarily Well After The Oscars, And It's Too Funny
Hot Topic 🔥 Full coverage and conversation on the Oscars At the Academy Awards on Sunday, Adrien Brody became a two-time Oscar winner and made history in more ways than one — giving the longest-ever acceptance speech and becoming the first person ever to throw their used gum off the stage while collecting an award. If you've not watched his nearly 6-minute speech, Adrien found himself in a sticky situation on his way up to collect the award for Best Actor when he realized he still had gum in his mouth. I have many questions about how this even happened, but nonetheless, he dealt with the matter swiftly — stopping midway up the stairs, spitting the gum into his hand, and throwing it down to his girlfriend, Georgina Chapman, who not-so-elegantly tried to catch it from the front row of the audience. The Academy / ABC / Via The bizarre moment left people divided, with some branding it as disgusting while others thought it was hilarious. A few days later, Adrien addressed the move during an appearance on Live With Kelly and Mark, saying: 'I could've swallowed it, but I didn't think about that. I had to get rid of it somehow.' Which… I guess makes sense? And now that the dust is beginning to settle on the 2025 Oscars, a nearly three-month-old clip from Variety's Actors on Actors series suggests this possibly wasn't Adrien's first offense when it comes to used gum mishaps. Actors on Actors is when — you guessed it — actors pair up to talk about their buzzy films in the run-up to awards season. So, when Babygirl star Harris Dickinson sat down with Queer 's Drew Starkey, the start of their conversation was momentarily stalled by the realization that a previous guest had left a piece of used gum on the set. Variety / Via 'Is that a piece of gum? Someone's left their gum on the table,' Drew said, leaning down to investigate the coffee table beside his chair. Harris agreed that were was, in fact, a piece of used gum stuck to the table and suggested that it'd probably been left there by 'someone very famous,' leading them to ask the producers which celeb had been filming in there before them. Though Drew and Harris didn't get an answer (on camera, at least), the pair circled back to the gum conversation at the end of the interview and concluded that it was left by Adrien, who was also part of the Actors on Actors series last year. 'Whose fucking chewing gum is that? Real talk, is that Adrien?' Harris said while getting up to leave. 'Adrien Brody, you filthy motherfucker. How dare he…You win one Oscar and think you can do anything,' he joked with Drew as another crew member in the background can be heard adding, 'It's gotta be Adrien Brody.' Obviously, we can't know for sure that Adrien left the gum, but it's very possible he'd been in there before them, which would explain why his name came up. That aside, it is pretty hilarious how these quotes have aged, from the misplaced gum to the joke about the Oscar win — and it's safe to say that fans also noticed the coincidence of it all. 'They got him months ago…,' one TikTok user joked on a video combining the clips of Harris and Drew along with Adrien's speech. 'It's so funny to me how they basically summarize the whole thing, literally saw the future.' 'He's obviously got a reputation,' someone else joked about Adrien's alleged gum-chewing habits. The TikTok clip also drew parallels between Harris joking that Adrien thinks he can 'do anything' and Adrien getting played off during his acceptance speech on Sunday, saying, 'Please turn the music off. I've done this before… It's not my first rodeo.' Either Harris and Drew are a little psychic, or Adrien chews more gum than he knows what to do with. Alternatively, it's just a big funny coincidence… but this got a giggle out of me, I'll tell you that much.
