Armie Hammer reunites with ex-wife and kids for milestone... after scary cannibalism scandal
Armie Hammer had a rare reunion with his ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers to celebrate an important milestone with their eight-year-old son Ford. The 38-year-old actor and his 42-year-old ex Chambers share two children together, Ford and 10-year-old daughter Harper. The Social Network star and his entrepreneur/TV personality wife were married from 2010 until their split in 2020, with their divorce finalized in 2023, amid his cannibalism scandal. The exes have been co-parenting their children since the split, and they came together to celebrate Ford completing the second grade. Chambers shared a joyful snap of the exes and their kids, with Chambers sharing his second grade completion certificate. 'Happy 2nd Grade Step-Up Fordy Boy!' the doting mom said in the snap, with her son holding on to the family's dog. Armie was seen smiling in the snap with his arm around Harper, donning a black t-shirt, black pants and holding a black coat. Chambers donned a stylish black and white striped dress along with gold bracelets and gold earrings for the outing. Hammer shot to fame after playing the Winklevoss Twins in 2010's The Social Network, that was instrumental in launching his career. That rising career quickly came crashing down in 2021 when multiple accusations of sexual assault, rape and even cannibalism surfaced. While the LAPD launched an investigation, no charges were filed against the actor, who has admitted to consensual BDSM and emotional abuse, but denies all sexual assault and cannibalism charges, which stemmed from a woman named Courtney Vucekovich who alleged he said he wanted to cook and eat one of her ribs. Chambers recently promoted her upcoming show Toxic on The Today Show, where she admitted that things were great with her ex and children. 'They're amazing. We're amazing. I think we've never been stronger as a family,' Chambers said. 'This show touches on domestic violence, it touches on really unhealthy patterns. For me, I just experienced betrayal,' she said of her relationship with Hammer. 'But in that process, I really learned so much about patterns and how parenting, really it comes down to parenting,' Chambers added. 'It comes down to humanity and psychology and all of those interesting things,' she said, while admitting she's not a fan of the term 'co-parenting.' 'I don't love that word co-parenting, right? I think we're just parents and everyone is just parenting as well as they can with what they have,' Chambers said. 'Our family is, again, so strong and better than ever. But for me, divorce in itself is just trauma, Chambers admitted.

An OpenAI movie on the life of Sam Altman is in the works and it is called Artificial
It seems Hollywood still can't get enough of Silicon Valley drama. Ever since The Social Network showed that boardroom betrayals and billion-dollar battles could be just as thrilling as a car-flipping Transformers blockbuster, the film industry has kept a close eye on tech's biggest stories. And now, the next chapter in that tradition could be taking shape, with none other than OpenAI's Sam Altman at the centre of the early discussions to turn the recent turbulent history of OpenAI into a film, according to The Hollywood Reporter, director Luca Guadagnino has entered talks. Amazon MGM Studios is working on the project, which for now is titled Artificial and which guarantees to mix corporate crises with comedic humour. The movie will cover the sensational week in November 2023 when OpenAI co-founder and CEO Sam Altman was suddenly fired and no less quickly reinstated, over a span of five details are under wraps, but the insider says the movie will be a biting, satirical examination of the cutthroat world of AI, where billion-dollar bets about the future of humanity are placed by groups that don't always see eye to eye. Casting remains in its infancy, but initial rumours point to some prominent stars being eyed. Andy Garfield, star of The Social Network and The Amazing Spider-Man, is in line to play the role of Altman. Monica Barbaro (of A Complete Unknown) is also in negotiations to play Mira Murati, the former CTO of OpenAI who replaced Chris Liddell as interim CEO during the change in leadership. Russian actor Yura Borisov (Anora) is reportedly in the running for the role of Ilya Sutskever, the co-founder and chief scientist at the centre of Altman's removal. But we don't yet know the cast of characters. In case you didn't catch the boardroom bombshell in 2023, here's a brief Altman was abruptly ousted as CEO, with the board citing a loss of confidence in his ability to lead. The move shook the tech industry to its core, particularly since Altman had become a high-profile face of AI advancement due to ChatGPT's explosive popularity. But in a plot twist befitting its script, the firing didn't stick. Only five days afterwards, under popular protest, pressure from within, and likely a lot of behind-the-scenes manoeuvres, Altman was back at the helm. The sheer speed and theatrics of the events, executive departures, employees' rebellion, and a come-full-circle return, would make Artificial a potentially enthralling watch. And with the movie to lean into the inherent strangeness and paradoxes of the world of AI, it could be the one to strike the perfect harmony between Silicon Valley satire and high-stakes or not audiences are familiar with the ins and outs of OpenAI's leadership saga, Artificial seems poised to offer a wildly entertaining take on an already bizarre real-world episode. And with AI tools like ChatGPT becoming increasingly embedded in our daily lives, the timing couldn't be better. If done right, this film could become The Social Network of this generation—only funnier, weirder, and just a little bit smarter.

In addition, Microsoft, a major backer of OpenAI, offered to hire those leaving the AI company, forcing the board to change its the events were nothing short of dramatic, how the movie will be received by the audience remains to be seen.

Dakota Johnson reveals what attracted her to Celine Song's Lucy in Materialists
In director Celine Song's much-anticipated film Materialists, Dakota Johnson takes on the role of Lucy — a sharp, savvy matchmaker caught in a romantic tangle. The film follows her journey as she navigates a love triangle between her charming ex (Chris Evans) and a mysterious new suitor (Pedro Pascal), all set against the backdrop of modern romance and ambition. While promoting the film globally, Dakota opened up about what drew her to the character and the complexities that made Lucy such a compelling role. 'After I read the script, I was immediately enticed by the layered inscrutability I saw in Lucy. I was drawn to the role because it's so complex. Lucy has so many different dynamics in the film, so there's many different Lucys. She's a bit of a different person with every other character — she's sort of a chameleon in that way. And then you're wondering which of her is the truth, which I thought was just so fun to play with.' Sony Pictures Entertainment will release Materialists in cinemas across India on June 13. Recently, Johnson revealed that her father, Don Johnson, cut her off financially after high school when she decided not to attend college. Johnson recalled that her father's ultimatum was clear: attend college and receive an allowance, or pursue acting and be on her own. "I didn't get in, and my dad cut me off because I didn't go to college," Johnson said, adding, "So, I started auditioning. I think I was 19 when I did The Social Network, and then little jobs and stuff after that," as quoted by E! News. Despite struggling financially, Johnson landed roles in notable films, including 'The Social Network' and the 'Fifty Shades' trilogy. Johnson opened up about the challenges she faced while trying to make it in Hollywood. "For a couple of years, it was hard to make money," she said, adding, "There were a few times when I'd go to the market and not have money in my bank account or not be able to pay rent, and I'd have to ask my parents for help," as quoted by E! News.
