Megyn Kelly slams Joaquin Phoenix as 'out of touch' for recycling tux
After the Golden Globes, Stella McCartney tweeted out her support for Joaquin Phoenix's decision to wear the same black tuxedo throughout awards season "to reduce waste." But as the tweet drew more and more attention this week, some asked if it wasn't a bit overstated to suggest using one rather than five tuxes over a period of months was doing much for the planet. Megyn Kelly was among them. Amid props and support from the likes of Stella, PETA and others, the conservative former newscaster retweeted a user who'd posted, "My husband and his coworkers wear the same firefighter outfit when they go into burning buildings to try to save people. But yeah, good for you Joaquin and Stella. 🙄." In her caption, Megyn weighed in with: "Well said @JaniceDean," before asking, "How out of touch are these ppl?? Oh the sacrifice! Just ONE tuxedo! Spare us." For the record, Megyn's hardly out of Joaquin's tax bracket. According to CelebrityNetWorth.com, she's worth $30 million to Joaquin's $35 million.

Stew faced a real-life horror just to make the movie. "I'm really scared of the water," she told SyFy.com at a recent screening.

Like, really ridiculous." Kristen's honesty continued when she was asked about the experience overall. "It was not fun. I hated it," she told Us. "I would usually not be allowed to say that.

Mac Miller's family announces posthumous album
Prior to his death in September 2018, Mac Miller was working on a new album. Intended to be a companion to his last release, "Swimming," "Circles," due out Jan. 17, was the second of what his family described this week on Instagram as one of "two different styles complementing each other, completing a circle." Speaking to Mac's fans ahead of the release, the family said they didn't know how else to let people know about the new music and would not be stating anything else about the album on social media. They also shouted out producer and songwriter Jon Brian, who contributed to "Swimming," for his work finishing what Mac (Malcolm McCormick) had started. "After his passing, Jon dedicated himself to finishing Circles based on his time and conversations with Malcolm," the family said in its statement. "We are so grateful to Jon and to those who gave their best to the difficult and emotional task of putting out this body of work. This is a complicated process that has no right answer. No clear path. We simply know that it was important to Malcolm for the world to hear it." Mac's death was ruled an accidental overdose after the L.A. County Coroner's Office found fentanyl, cocaine and alcohol in his system. "We are left to imagine where Malcolm was going and to appreciate where he was," the family's post continued. "We hope you take the time to listen. The look on his face when everyone was listening said it all." Further information about the album, as well as Mac and related news will appear on the Instagram page @92tilinfinity.
Jamie Foxx reveals why he won't be invited back as his daughter's basketball coach
This year's gym plan is all about the legs for Jamie Foxx. The "Just Mercy" star stopped by "Ellen" this week and when the host teased him for his super-fit physique, he admitted he tends to neglect half of his bod. "2020 I got to do legs, I don't ever do legs. Because you know, brothers don't do legs," he joked, according to E! News . "No, no, no. We're big at the top but sort of small at the bottom. Like I could beat you up, but I can't chase you." He can coach kids in chasing each other, though. Sort of. Jamie went on to say he's tried to coach his daughter in basketball. It didn't go very well. "My younger daughter is 5'8″ and she's 11-years-old," he told Ellen. "She didn't like basketball at first because she plays on the all-boys team and the boys wouldn't pass her the ball. But then, 16 points, 12-rebounds, 6 blocks later and she wins the game. She's now like the go-to." Jamie, on the other hand, would be hard-pressed for an invite back to the coaching chair. "I coached one time, but I don't think they'll have me back," he admitted, recalling his tendency to get "on the court" and "in the way" out of concern the players won't hear him. During his brief coaching tenure, he even got called out for it: "… the ref walked up and said, 'I love Django but you've got to get off the court.'"

InStyle's next cover story features a conversation between Olivia Wilde and one of her "Booksmart" leads, Beanie Feldstein. the ladies, 35 and 26 respectively. discuss a number of topics related to what InStyle calls "the prevailing sisterhood in Hollywood," which saw Olivia "tracking" Beanie, as she put it, to get her involved in Olivia's directorial debut. They also talked about life in general, with Beanie asking Olivia how she's raising the son and daughter she shares with Jason Sudeikis "to be strong and independent." The question hit home for Olivia with regard to her daughter, Daisy, who turns 4 this year. "With Daisy, I have witnessed how women are born with an incredible amount of strength and that society quickly pushes them to assume the more feminine role," she said. "I mean, I love that Elsa is looking pissed off on the 'Frozen 2' poster, but there's still an awful lot out there that's encouraging young women to make themselves the weaker sex." As a parent, Olivia said she sees her role as one of support and safety "that'll hopefully counteract what society will inevitably do to them." As an example, she offers: "When Daisy hits a place where she questions her worth, I want to be the one to remind her of the strength she innately has. But it's interesting because having a boy and a girl, you really notice gender politics within your own home. She'll clean up his plate for him after dinner, and I'm like, 'Put that back!'"
Asked what he'll do in retirement, Alex Trebek says 'drink'
If anyone deserves to retire exactly the way they want to, it's Alex Trebek, who's hosted "Jeopardy!" for 35 years, including while battling stage 4 pancreatic cancer. This week, he spoke to reporters at the Television Critics Association winter press tour. Asked what his plans were after he says "goodbye" to the show, which he's acknowledged is neither soon nor far off, he had an easy answer: "Drink." He added that he also thought he'd "work around the house," not a bad pairing for a glass of wine. "When you've been hosting, there are some of you who have been doing your jobs for many years," he continued, according to People. "Some of you two or three decades. When you've been in the same job for that long period of time, it moves you to think at some point about retiring. Thinking about retiring and retiring are two different things." We might add that thinking about doing housework after a little booze and doing housework after a little booze are, similarly, two different things …
