Michelle Pfeiffer and David E. Kelley have taken advantage of the blazing hot housing market by unloading their Pacific Palisades home in a flash ... TMZ has learned. The couple listed the estate in July and it only took a week to get a solid offer. The house was listed at $25 million and our real estate sources say they got close to asking. It's an eye-popping amount of loot, but it's by no means a bonanza for them. They paid $22,250,000 in January 2020 ... so with carrying costs, upgrades and realtor fees ... it's probably around the break-even mark. The house is just over 10,000 square feet, with 7 bedrooms and 11 ba...

Matt Damon is insisting that he has never used the “f-slur” following backlash from a recent interview. In an article posted by the U.K.’s Sunday Times, the “Stillwater” star was quoted saying he had stopped using the offensive term “months ago” when his daughter wrote him a “treatise” on “how that word is dangerous.” But in a statement to Variety, Damon said that he has never used the word in his “personal life” and does not “use slurs of any kind.” He also affirmed that he understands why the interview “led many to assume the worst.” “During a recent interview, I recalled a discussion I had with my daughter where I attempted to contextualize for her the progress that has been made – though by no means completed – since I was growing up in Boston and, as a child, heard the ...

Is Fred Durst wearing a wig? Going by Limp Bizkit's news-making set at Lollapalooza 2021 and the Bizkit bandleader's recent social media posts, a new "Dad Vibes" Durst look — retro gray locks, cop shades, handlebar mustache, sensible menswear — has replaced the singer's signature Yankees cap of Limp Bizkit's hit-making yesteryear. Not that Durst had worn the fitted hat much in recent memory. Still, who'd have guessed that, some 20 years later, the onetime MTV star and Chocolate Starfish showstopper would somehow turn his revered and reviled 2000s image in on itself? It's been tickling music fans since the days leading to the musician debuting his new visage onstage, culminating with the band's energetic Lollapalooza set — but, hey, is that a wig? (It's a wig, right?) Here's what people a...

DALLAS — Talia Suskauer knows what it’s like to be green. She remembers the feel of pigment and powder on her arms, neck, and face; how the color seemed to seep into her pores and linger behind her ears; what it was like to see a strange but familiar self staring back from a mirror. She didn’t know that, on a hot July afternoon in Dallas, getting painted once again would make her cry. Sixteen months after the touring production of “Wicked” in which Suskauer stars as the green-skinned witch Elphaba was forced to close, the cast and crew have reassembled in Dallas for a high-stakes effort to start again. The show’s first performance here on Tuesday, the first by any touring Broadway production since the coronavirus pandemic shut down shows across the nation, will be a sign of hope for a ba...
