HOLLYWOOD HEADLINES

Karens are getting canceled. Last year, parents named only 325 babies “Karen.” The name has become code for women caught acting racist, insensitivity or completely idiotic. The most popular girl baby name for 2020 was Olivia – as in Olivia Rodrigo, Olivia Munn and Olivia Wilde. (HuffPost) 

Julianne Moore said the pandemic caused her to re-evaluate. She told Ryan Seacrest on Wednesday (quote) “I’ve ditched heels.”

Later this summer, the original cast will reunite to shoot the sequel to Wedding Crashers. HBO Max will stream the Vince Vaughn, Isla Fisher, Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams comedy.

The National Enquirer was fined $187,000 by the Federal Election Commission for illegally supporting the 2016 presidential campaign of Donald Trump. The tabloid purchased the exclusive story of Playboy model, Karen McDougal. She alleged an adulterous affair with Trump. Rather than publish details of the damaging scandal, the Enquirer buried the story in a scheme dubbed in the industry as “catch and kill.” (The Wrap)

Churchill Downs suspended the trainer of the Kentucky Derby winner. Medina Spirits flunked a drug test, twice. Trainer Bob Baffert is suspended from entering a horse at the track for two years. Next, Medina Spirits could be disqualified, and the owner’s winnings forfeited. However, the case will likely be litigated for years. (New York Times)

This post-pandemic season could be the sexiest ever. Once vaxxed and waxed, Americans are ready to jump in bed with another warm body. A list of the “horniest” cities is topped – appropriately – by Paradise, which is a town on the outskirts of Las Vegas. Also on the list are cities near Los Angeles, New York City, Atlanta, Philadelphia and Miami that cater to adult industries – strip clubs and adult stores. Residents there also have a high incidence of sexually transmitted diseases. (Lawn Starter)
