A source tells the website, “Kim wants to get married again and Pete wants to have kids — none of that has changed. It just wasn’t meant for it to be with each other. There truly wasn’t drama between them when they decided to separate. It was something they talked through; it wasn’t a sudden breakup. They each have busy schedules and the distance made it hard. Kim travels a ton and it was hard for Pete to keep up, especially with his filming schedule.”
NME magazine says Rebel Wilson honored fellow Australian Olivia Newton-John yesterday with the following post: @therealonj , you were the most gorgeous lady inside and out, you are a true Aussie icon and to play your daughter on screen in A FEW BEST MEN was beyond an honour. Seeing you star in the huge Hollywood blockbuster GREASE with your natural accent was so instrumental to me as a little girl, helping me to believe that it was possible for an Aussie girl to star in huge international musicals. You were the reason I auditioned for my high school production of GREASE at 15 - I was only in the chorus, but it was a start! You tried to teach me about health years before I took it seriously. You were so kind to me and it was such a blessing to know you Olivia. I’ll never forget us singing at the piano in our lunch break on set together - what a complete legend you are! I am so sad you are gone Love and Light always to you ONJ, Rebel xoxo
Steve Martin tells The Hollywood Reporter that he may retire when his Hulu show, “Only Murders in the Building,” ends. “When this television show is done, I’m not going to seek others.

I’m really not interested in retiring. I’m not. But I would just work a little less. Maybe.”

Dear Fonseca
My five year old son is incredibly independent. He is excited about the new school year and already wants to pick out his own school clothes. My husband and I let him do that several times. It's been a hilarious disaster. We don't want to stifle his independence or creativity, but nothing he picks out matches and we are worried he may get picked on and bullied. My husband says we should allow it to happen because it will teach him a lesson and help him grow thicker skin. I think we should save him from himself. What's the right thing to do? Should we allow him to pick out his own clothes or not?
