Married
Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander have officially tied the knot! The duo wed at La Granja farmstead resort in Ibiza, Spain, on Oct. 14, multiple media outlets confirmed. Both Alicia, 29, and Michael, 40, were seen on Oct. 15 wearing rings. The couple of about three years has been very private about their relationship. In 2014, Alicia told Entertainment Weekly, "I think we've made a clear statement that we keep certain things just between us. It was very easy to unite, but that's quite personal." Michael has also been reluctant to talk about their romance, saying, "Each to their own. I'm not going to talk about my private life with a total stranger, unless I feel like I need to. Why would I? I don't." Congrats, although we don't expect you guys to actually publicly confirm anything anytime soon.

#MeToo movement
The dust from the Harvey Weinstein scandal still hasn't settled in Hollywood, but two words began to dominate social media earlier in the week: "Me too." The #MeToo movement, which was originally launched by activist Tarana Burke a decade ago, was given new life by Alyssa Milano in response to the Weinstein sexual harassment and sexual abuse scandal. On Oct. 15, the actress tweeted a message that read, "Suggested by a friend: If all the women who have been sexually harassed or assaulted wrote 'Me too' as a status, we might give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem." She then wrote, "Me too," and tweeted, "If you've been sexually harassed or assaulted write 'me too' as a reply to this tweet." Within 24 hours, "#MeToo" had been tweeted half a million times. It's now been posted millions of times. "A moment can create a movement. This is our moment. This is our movement. #MeToo," Alyssa wrote.

"Sadly, this means that the following shows will not be able to go ahead as planned: Taipei, Osaka, Seoul, Tokyo and Hong Kong. I'm waiting to see how the healing progresses before we have to decide on shows beyond that. Please stay tuned for more details. PS – Ed isn't typing this as he has both arms casted/bandaged."
