<p>It's the end of an era for <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/lisa-rinna" rel="">Lisa Rinna</a>. The 59-year-old actress has exited <a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills" rel="" target="_blank"><em>The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills</em></a> after eight seasons.</p>

<p>"This is the longest job I have held in my 35 year career and I am grateful to everyone at Bravo and all those involved in the series," Rinna told <a href="https://people.com/tv/lisa-rinna-leaves-the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills/?utm_campaign=peoplemagazine&amp;utm_content=new&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_term=63b75d0314d48000011bde53" rel="" target="_blank"><em>People</em></a> in a statement. "It has been a fun eight-year run and I am excited for what is to come!"</p>

<p>Rinna first joined the cast in season 5&nbsp;and went on to quickly become a fan favorite. Initially, executive producer Andy Cohen wasn't on board with Rinna joining the franchise. In a 2019 interview with the <a href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/la-et-st-real-housewives-beverly-hills-lisa-rinna-20190709-story.html" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Los Angeles Times</em></a>, Cohen said&nbsp;he&nbsp;"was wary of hiring a recognizable actress, feeling it would change the vibe of the show." Now, however,&nbsp;he "considers Rinna one of the best additions to the franchise."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"She’s fun to watch,” he said.&nbsp;“She’s funny and she makes fun of herself. She understands her place in the world, and she’s very secure with herself. I just think she’s entertaining.”</p>

<p>While the show has been drama-filled for years, season 12 was a more personal one for Rinna, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/lisa-rinnas-mother-lois-dies-at-93-175150" rel="" target="_blank">who lost her mother, Lois</a>, just days into production. Rinna's daughter, Amelia Gray Hamlin, announced the death of Lois on Instagram, writing, "My guardian angel for the rest of time.. I love you so much my Lolo.&nbsp;You were and will always be much more than a grandma to me.. you were my best friend. My strength. My rock. My everything."</p>

<p>"Your laughter never failed to light up any room you ever walked in. Anyone who got the pleasure to meet you was so blessed.. there will never be anyone like you," she continued. "Thank you for being the strength our family needed. Thank you for teaching us what it means to be a strong woman… and just like that.. you’re back with Frank.. I know they’re having a party for you.. and you are dancing your way through heaven… you’ll never be gone."</p>

<p>In the season 12 trailer, Rinna admitted to being "in a lot of pain" following her beloved mother's death.</p>

<p>Some of Rinna's cast members, past and present reacted to the news of her exit, including <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/lisa-vanderpump" rel="" target="_blank" title="Lisa Vanderpump">Lisa Vanderpump</a> who tweeted, "Ding dong," an ode to the famous line in&nbsp;<em>Wizard of Oz</em>, "Ding dog, the witch is dead."</p>

Lisa Rinna Exits 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' After 8 Seasons

<p>Turns out,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/Gabourey-Sidibe" target="_blank">Gabourey Sidibe</a>&nbsp;is already married! The 39-year-old&nbsp;actress revealed that she secretly wed&nbsp;Brandon Frankel more than a year ago during Monday's appearance on <em>Live With Kelly and Ryan</em>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The thing about weddings is I don't like them. Here's an example of how much I don't like weddings. I'm actually married. We got married over a year ago," Sidibe told the shocked co-hosts during Monday's show as her husband held up his ring finger in the audience to show off his silver band.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sidibe also revealed that the nuptials were anything but traditional, sharing, "We got married at the kitchen table. It was just us."&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.instagram.com/p/ClyqOQog_J_/?hl=en">&nbsp;</div>

<p>While Sidibe knows she's lucky in love, she previously made it clear that she wasn't interested in an elaborate wedding.</p>

<p>"The entire time we have been engaged, I've always been like, 'No, we shouldn't have a wedding.' Maybe we'll throw a barbecue, get married in the bathroom, and then we’ll come out and tell everyone we're married," she told <a href="https://www.brides.com/gabourey-sidibe-non-traditional-bride-5223322" target="_blank"><em>Brides</em></a>&nbsp;in May 2022.</p>

<p>Sidibe told the magazine that they weren't planning on a bachelor/bachelorette party or having a bridal party, but whatever they decided on for the ceremony, it would include important aspects of their Senegalese and Jewish backgrounds.</p>

<p>"Including my culture [in the wedding] is important to me for sure. I've been feeding him some Senegalese food in the last few years -- especially in the pandemic," she explained. "It will be a nice mix of African and Jewish touches. I want his background to absolutely be there because this is a partnership."</p>

<p>Sidibe and Frankel announced their engagement on Instagram in November 2020.</p>

<p>"It’s weird that people think we’re already married but I guess our hearts and intentions for each other are just that clear to see. My BFF proposed and now I get to hold him forever," she wrote. "The funniest man I’ve ever met. The sweetest human to exist.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/brandontour/" tabindex="0">@brandontour</a>&nbsp;made up a song for when i put my bonnet on at night."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.instagram.com/p/CH_KeCfp0vy/">&nbsp;</div>

<p>"The second I look a bit stressed and overwhelmed, he jumps into action to take over what he can for me. Every moment with him is a joy," she added. "He is the partner i thought I was too independent to need. I’ve learned so much about myself through him and I feel grateful and excited to learn more about the entire world with him by my side. My partner, my best friend, my cats’ daddy, my mans, my heart, my fiancé!!!"</p>

<p>During her <em>Live With Kelly and Ryan</em> appearance, Sidibe also revealed that Frankel's proposal didn't quite go as planned. She said she went to go turn off a light in the house on her way out the door and found her now-husband's proposal setup complete with rose petals and balloons hours before she was supposed to.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"He's not that great at planning things," Sidibe quipped of her husband.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She added that she'd found photos of her engagement ring on his phone a month before he popped the question.&nbsp;</p>

Gabourey Sidibe Secretly Married Brandon Frankel Over a Year Ago

<p>Congratulations&nbsp;are in order for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/big-sean" rel="" target="_blank">Big Sean</a> and <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/Jhene-Aiko" rel="" target="_blank">Jhené Aiko</a>&nbsp;who have welcomed their first child together!&nbsp;</p>

<p>On Friday, the proud parents announced the birth of their baby boy earlier this month. "After 24 hours of Labor, A Lunar Eclipse, with rain from the beginning of labor til he was born, he’s here safe and sound. Happy, Healthy and everything we could ever ask for and more. Any and everything for you Son. 💙Noah💙&nbsp;11/8/22," Sean wrote on Instagram, captioning photos of himself,&nbsp;Jhené and their son in the hospital.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The new mom of two revealed their little one's full name.&nbsp;✨11/08/22✨💙Noah Hasani💙," she wrote on Instagram. "After 24 hours of labor, a total lunar eclipse, and while it was pouring rain… he came&nbsp;my baby Yoda, my Sani 💙."</p>

<p>Since <a href="https://www.etonline.com/big-sean-and-jhene-aiko-expecting-their-first-child-together-186739" rel="" target="_blank">news of Aiko's pregnancy</a> broke in July, the couple have shared numerous updates on their journey to parenthood on Instagram, with Sean calling it his "motivation."</p>

<p>"Whole new motivation foreal!" he wrote on his Instagram Stories.&nbsp;"Very grateful God continues to bless us, Thank you." In a second post, he added:&nbsp;"Can't wait to be a dad."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cga-wS4OvDK/">&nbsp;</div>

<p>She continued to share baby bump updates throughout the course of her pregnancy, including an adorable shoot by Kahh Spence in late July where she sported baggy jeans and a bikini-type top.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Shortly before the arrival of their newborn,&nbsp;Sean shared a sentimental visit to his hometown of Detroit with Aiko and their unborn baby.</p>

Jhene Aiko Gives Birth, Welcomes Baby Boy With Big Sean

<p>Halloween may still be a few weeks away, but&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/kylie-jenner" rel="" target="_blank">Kylie Jenner</a> is already in the spirit. The 25-year-old makeup mogul donned green body paint as she posed for photos in Hailey Bieber's bathtub on Wednesday night.</p>

<p>Bieber took to Instagram to share the snap of Jenner laying in the tub, cuddling up to a fake skeleton and surrounded by spooky decor. While she didn't caption the photo, Jenner's big sister, Khloe Kardashian, was quick to comment, writing, "Wtf is happening."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.instagram.com/p/CjpFQGNOyHg/?hl=en">&nbsp;</div>

<p>Momager Kris Jenner was also confused, commenting, "OMG what’s happening over there???? 🦇"</p>

<p>It's clear the girls were just having a little fun, with Bieber also dressing up and <a href="https://www.hellomagazine.com/fashion/hfm/20221013154048/hailey-bieber-kylie-jenner-witch-costumes-early-halloween/" rel="" target="_blank">sporting a green tint</a>. The model rocked a black witches hat in a series of snaps where she posed in front of a mirror. "SPOOKY SEASON COMMENCE," she captioned the post.</p>

<p>Later, videos of Bieber also rocking green body paint&nbsp;were posted to OBB Media's official Instagram page, teasing a "spooky episode coming soon..."</p>

<p>The pals are both known to go all out for Halloween. Jenner is often one of the first celebs to show off her spooky house filled with decorations, and she always goes big with not only her own costumes, but her daughter, Stormi's, as well. In 2019, Stormi rocked a dress inspired by her mom's&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/kylie-jenner-and-travis-scott-stun-together-at-2019-met-gala-124504" target="_blank">Met Gala.</a>&nbsp;look and it was spot on.</p>

<p>"My baby!!!!!!!!" Jenner captioned a slideshow of the look at the time. "I cant handle this!!!!"</p>

<p>Last year, despite dressing up prior to the big day, Jenner opted for a classic mom look as she and Travis Scott took Stormi trick-or-treating. "In full mommy mode this Halloween 🐈‍⬛ I&nbsp;hope everyone has a safe night," she wrote alongside a family photo from the day.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.instagram.com/p/CVuDSRLL5I5/">&nbsp;</div>

<p>Bieber, meanwhile, nailed her costume last Halloween as she dressed as Britney Spears from her iconic "Baby One More Time" music video.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.instagram.com/p/CVqST5Yvj7n/?hl=en">&nbsp;</div>

Kylie Jenner Rocks Full Green Body Paint in Spooktacular Pic in Hailey Bieber's Bathtub

<p>Rumors of a rift between <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/olivia-wilde" rel="" target="_blank">Olivia Wilde</a> and <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/Florence-Pugh" rel="" target="_blank">Florence Pugh</a> have been flooding headlines for months. While the two have both tried their best to dispel the rumors, the questions about what really happened behind the scenes of <em>Don't Worry Darling</em> keep coming. Now, Wilde -- who both directed and acted in&nbsp;the film which stars Pugh, Harry Styles and Chris Pine&nbsp;-- is addressing the situation with a quote from Pugh herself.</p>

<p>“It is shocking to see so many untruths about yourself traded as fact,” Wilde says in an interview for <a href="https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a41531158/olivia-wilde-interview-elle-women-in-hollywood-2022/" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Elle's </em></a>2022 Women in Hollywood November issue. “Florence had a really wise comment that we didn’t sign up for a reality show."</p>

<p>"And I love that she put it that way, because it’s as though the general public feels that if you are making something that you’re selling to the public, you somehow have accepted that your life will be torn to shreds by a pack of wolves," Wilde continues.&nbsp;"No, that’s actually not part of the job description. Never was.”</p>

<p>Wilde also expresses her disappointment in how the story has been&nbsp;“minimized into bite-size TikTok points.”</p>

<p>“This film is trying to ask big questions, but [it’s] ‘Let’s just focus on this sideshow over here,’ ” she adds. “Having been a known figure for a while...makes me well-equipped to have a Teflon exterior. But it also means that you’re under a different kind of microscope. It’s brought my attention to the media and how it pits women against one another.”</p>

<p>In the interview, Wilde also praises Pugh for her performance in the film.&nbsp;“She’s so generous in her acting in every scene," Wilde says.&nbsp;"She makes everyone around her better.”</p>

<p>Wilde previously addressed the "<a href="https://www.etonline.com/olivia-wilde-addresses-endless-tabloid-gossip-avoids-shia-labeouf-question-at-2022-venice-film" rel="" target="_blank">endless tabloid gossip</a>" surrounding her during a press conference at the Venice Film Festival while promoting the film. "As for all the endless tabloid gossip and all the noise out there, I mean, the internet feeds itself," Wilde told the crowd when asked to "clear the air" about a falling out with Pugh. "I don't feel the need to contribute. It's sufficiently well nourished."</p>

<p><a href="https://www.vulture.com/2022/09/can-dont-worry-darling-recover-from-the-bad-press.html" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Vulture </em></a>later reported that a "screaming match" took place between Wilde and Pugh while filming, a report that the movie's crew refuted, with 40 of them&nbsp;signing&nbsp;their names to a statement vehemently denying the allegation.</p>

<p>"As a crew, we've avoided addressing the absurd gossip surrounding the movie we're so proud of, but feel the need to correct the anonymous 'sources'&nbsp;quoted in a recent article," <a href="https://www.etonline.com/dont-worry-darling-crew-refutes-report-olivia-wilde-and-florence-pugh-got-into-screaming-match" rel="" target="_blank">producer Miri Yoon told ET</a> in a statement. "Any allegations about unprofessional behavior on the set of&nbsp;<em>Don't Worry Darling</em>&nbsp;are completely false."</p>

<p>"Olivia is an incredible leader and director who was present with and involved in every aspect of production. She ran this set with class and respect for everyone involved," the statement continued. "There was never a screaming match between our director and anyone, let alone a member of our cast. We are happy to put our names on this, as real people who worked on the film, and who have witnessed and benefitted from the collaborative and safe space Olivia creates as a director and leader. We're also thrilled that the movie is in theaters this weekend. We can't wait for you to see it on the big screen."</p>

<p>Amid all of the chatter, both Pugh and Wilde took to social media <a href="https://www.etonline.com/olivia-wilde-and-florence-pugh-post-pics-following-alleged-dont-worry-darling-feud-191476" rel="" target="_blank">to subtly dispel the gossip</a>, with posts praising the film and all who worked on it.&nbsp;</p>

Olivia Wilde Addresses 'Don't Worry Darling' Drama by Quoting Florence Pugh 

<p>Johnny&nbsp;Bananas' competitive flame has been reignited. <em>The&nbsp;Challenge</em> star -- who turned 40 in June -- recently spoke with ET's Ash Crossan about his longevity on reality TV and the pressure he feels for the upcoming&nbsp;<i>The Challenge: Ride or Dies&nbsp;</i>competition.</p>

<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">"Listen, to say the weight of the world is on my shoulders every time I do a challenge would be an understatement," Johnny, whose real name is&nbsp;John Amadeus Devenanzio,&nbsp;shares. "Especially before my win on <em>Total Madness</em>, which is the last season that I did."</p>

<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">After winning seven seasons of the show, Johnny says he knows there are people who "harbor resentment" over him and expect him to give up so other contestants can win.&nbsp;</p>

<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">"I think a lot of people are not happy with the amount of success that I've had on the show and <em>The Challenge</em> breeds jealousy and envy," he explains. "Listen, I'd be the same way if it were somebody else.&nbsp;If there was a guy who won seven times coming into this season,&nbsp;I&nbsp;probably wouldn't want that person there&nbsp;either, because it's&nbsp;like, 'Spread the love a little bit, dude.'"</p>

<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">"So I know what it is, I know what I'm getting myself involved in every season," he continued.&nbsp;"I'm not gonna win any popularity contest, but I've made my bed and now I gotta sleep in it.&nbsp;...I'm a victim of my own success, I guess, but I wouldn't have it any other way."</p>

<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">When it comes to throwing in the towel, Johnny isn't ready to give up, despite just celebrating a milestone birthday, he's "still having a ton of fun doing [<em>The Challenge</em>]."</p>

<p>"I wasn't sure how I was gonna respond coming back this season," he added. "Obviously there's a lot of people out there questioning, you know, if I still have it in me to be successful and&nbsp;to compete at a high level and I'm not gonna lie -- I'd be lying if I said that I&nbsp;didn't have those same questions going into this season as well.&nbsp;I just turned 40 so&nbsp;there was a lot of question marks, but I really do feel like after going back this season it has definitely reignited my competitive flame.</p>

<p>"So for any haters out there who are hoping that you'd seen the last of me, be patient, because I have way more for you to be angry about," he teased.</p>

<p>While Johnny is set to compete again this season, he's the previous champion of seven seasons:&nbsp;<em>The Island</em>, <em>The Ruins</em>, <em>Rivals</em>, <em>Battle of the Exes</em>, <em>Free Agents</em>, <em>Rivals III</em>, <em>Champs vs. Stars</em>, and <em>Total Madness. </em>He first got his start on reality TV appearing on<em>&nbsp;The Real World: Key West</em> in 2006.</p>

<p><i>The Challenge: Ride or Dies&nbsp;</i>premieres Wednesday, Oct.&nbsp;12&nbsp;at 8 p.m. ET on MTV.</p>

'The Challenge's Johnny Bananas Has a Message for His Haters Who Think He Should Leave the Show (Exclusive)

<p>Days after Anna Sorokin -- also known as Anna Devley -- was released from prison, she did her first televised interview. Sorokin sat down with CNN's Jake Tapper and&nbsp;spoke about her regrets and what she's learned from her past.</p>

<p>"I feel so sorry for a lot of the choices I've made," she said. "I also feel like I've learned a lot and grew as a person."</p>

<p>Sorokin&nbsp;is a convicted scam artist who was arrested in 2017 and two years later was&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/inventing-anna-a-guide-to-the-fake-german-heiress-and-those-she-scammed-178307" target="_blank">found guilty of grand larceny</a>&nbsp;for stealing over $200,000 in a scheme in which she defrauded&nbsp;some of New York City’s social elites&nbsp;and financial institutions by convincing them&nbsp;she was&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/inventing-anna-a-guide-to-the-fake-german-heiress-and-those-she-scammed-178307" rel="" target="_blank">an heiress worth millions of dollars</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While&nbsp;Sorokin didn't seem to have much remorse for the financial institutions she took advantage of, she insisted that she's learned from her mistakes. "I definitely did [take advantage of people]," the 31-year-old told Tapper. "I was younger and I've learned from my mistakes."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGijL88AKPQ">&nbsp;</div>

<p>"But did you?" Tapper asked, to which Sorokin reiterated her initial comments, saying&nbsp;she has and that she's "absolutely not" going to do anything else like this ever again.</p>

<p>When Tapper asked Sorokin why she chose to spend an additional 18 months in&nbsp;immigration detention instead of choosing to return to Europe and be free, she explained,&nbsp;"I feel like if I were to leave and say, ‘Oh, whatever, I’m just going to move on and like move to Europe,’ I would be like accepting the labels that they are trying to slap on me. I feel like I deserve a second chance.&nbsp;It was my mistake that I made and I served my time and I feel like I should deserve a second opportunity.”</p>

<p>Despite having to remain under house arrest and wear an ankle monitor, Sorokin told Tapper she's "so happy" to have been released from detention. "I feel like I’m getting a second chance to fix my mistakes."</p>

<p>Sorokin still blames&nbsp;the prosecution in her 2019 trial and the media for how she is portrayed as a scam artist. "They kind of created this idea of me and I’m just being left to deal with it,” Sorokin said. "I’m trying to not glamorize my crimes and not lead anybody to believe that’s the way to get famous. Because I suffered a lot as a result … even though I don’t always show it. I’m not going to go on TV and cry.”</p>

<p>Sorokin's&nbsp;defense attorney, Manny Arora,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/anna-delvey-sorokin-spotted-in-glamorous-outfit-after-prison-release-192458" rel="" target="_blank">confirmed to ET</a> last week that she was released from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody in New York, where she will remain&nbsp;under house arrest&nbsp;as her deportation case continues.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"After&nbsp;17 months of immigration detention, an immigration judge recognized that immigration detention was no longer necessary for Anna and ordered her release subject to various conditions of supervision," John Sandweg, another of Sorokin's attorneys, told ET at the time.&nbsp; "This ruling does not mean that Anna will get a free pass. She will continue to face deportation proceedings and her release will be closely monitored by ICE and the State of New York. Nevertheless, as the court found, Anna does not pose such a risk that continued detention was necessary."</p>

<p>Sorokin's story was the subject of a <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/04/my-misadventure-with-the-magician-of-manhattan" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Vanity Fair</em></a> article in 2018 that ultimately became the storyline of Shonda Rhimes' Netflix series,<em> Inventing Anna</em>, in 2021.</p>

Anna Sorokin Says She's 'Getting a Second Chance' in Televised Post-Prison Interview

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/brendan-fraser" rel="" target="_blank">Brendan Fraser</a> first took on the role of&nbsp;Rick O'Connell in <em>The Mummy</em> back in 1999, and while he went on to star in two other films in the action-adventure franchise, he hasn't reprised the beloved character since&nbsp;2008’s <em>The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor</em>.&nbsp;Now, nearly 15 years later, the 53-year-old actor is opening up about whether he'd ever revisit the role again.</p>

<p>"I don’t know how it would work,” Fraser tells&nbsp;<a href="https://variety.com/2022/film/news/brendan-fraser-mummy-sequel-tom-cruise-reboot-1235399752/" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Variety </em></a>in an interview published Wednesday. “But I’d be open to it if someone&nbsp;came up with the right conceit.”</p>

<p>When the franchise was rebooted in 2017,&nbsp;it was Tom Cruise who took on the challenge of playing the lead in the&nbsp;<em>Mummy </em>film. However, the movie performed poorly at the box office -- leading all plans for more films in&nbsp;the Dark Universe series to be canceled -- and Fraser explains why he believes the reboot flopped.</p>

<p>“It is hard to make that movie,” he says. “The ingredient that we had going for our <em>Mummy</em>, which I didn’t see in that film, was fun. That was what was lacking in that incarnation. It&nbsp;was too much of a straight-ahead horror movie. <em>The Mummy&nbsp;</em>should be a thrill ride, but not terrifying and scary.”&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>“I know how difficult it is to pull it off,” Fraser adds. “I tried to do it three times.”</p>

<p>More recently, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/see-brendan-frasers-transformation-into-a-600-pound-man-for-the-whale-role-188061" rel="" target="_blank">Fraser transformed</a> into&nbsp;a 600-pound&nbsp;man for&nbsp;Darren Aronofsky's&nbsp;<em>The Whale, </em>which landed him <a href="https://www.etonline.com/brendan-fraser-moved-to-tears-during-6-minute-standing-ovation-for-the-whale-at-venice-film" rel="" target="_blank">a six-minute standing ovation</a> when it debuted at the&nbsp;2022 Venice Film Festival last month. In videos that surfaced online of the touching moment, Fraser can be seen getting visibly emotional as the crowd cheers.</p>

<p>"The standing ovation for #TheWhale was so enthusiastic, Brendan Fraser tried to leave the theater but the crowd’s applause made him stay. #Venezia79,"&nbsp;<em>Variety&nbsp;</em>Editor-in-Chief&nbsp;Ramin Setoodeh tweeted at the time, also sharing a clip of Fraser taking a bow."</p>

<p>Fraser's&nbsp;<em>Mummy Returns</em>&nbsp;co-star, Dwayne Johnson, couldn't help but share his excitement for the actor's success.&nbsp;"Man this makes me so happy to see this beautiful ovation for Brendan," Johnson tweeted, reposting&nbsp;Setoodeh's video. "He supported me coming into his <em>Mummy Returns</em> franchise for my first ever role, which kicked off my Hollywood career. Rooting for all your success brother and congrats to my bud Darren Aronofsky. #TheWhale."</p>

<p>In the film, Fraser portrays an isolated writing teacher whose health is in life-threatening decline. His character&nbsp;strugglers&nbsp;to reconnect with his teenage daughter, who is played by Sadie Sink.</p>

<p>"My journey to where I am now has been to explore as many characters as I can and this presented the biggest challenge to me that I wanted," Fraser said during a press conference about the movie.&nbsp;"By far and away, I think that Charlie is the most heroic man I have ever played because his super power is to see the good in others and bring that out in him and,&nbsp;in that process, he's on his journey of salvation."</p>

Brendan Fraser Is Open to a Fourth 'Mummy' Movie, Explains Why Tom Cruise's Reboot Flopped

<p>Amid continuing legal troubles between <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/angelina-jolie" rel="" target="_blank">Angelina Jolie</a> and <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/brad-pitt" rel="" target="_blank">Brad Pitt</a>, an email the 47-year-old actress wrote to her ex-husband in January 2021 has resurfaced on TikTok. ET has since found the email&nbsp;in a court document.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The message begins with Jolie saying she's "putting this in writing so not to get emotional," before detailing her decision to&nbsp;sell&nbsp;Chateau Miraval Winery, which Pitt is part owner of. ET has&nbsp;reached out to the reps of both Jolie and Pitt for comment.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It is the place we brought the twins home to, and where we were married over a plaque in my mother’s memory," Jolie wrote, referencing their youngest children,&nbsp;Knox and Vivienne.&nbsp;"A place that held the promise of what could be and where I thought I would grow old. Even now impossible to write this without crying. I will treasure my memories of what it was a decade ago."</p>

<p>"But it is also the place that marks the beginning of the end of our family - and a business that is centered around alcohol," Jolie continued, referring to Pitt's struggle with alcohol abuse. "I had hoped somehow it could become something that held us together and we found light and peace. I see now how you have really wanted me out and will most likely be pleased to receive this email."</p>

<p>Jolie went on to write that she has seen "lots of inconsiderate behavior, money spent in ways that I would not have approved, and decisions made that I was not consulted on" in the past four years, saying she's "been hurt by decisions that have been made that show no interest in sharing the business or changing it fundamentally into something that would be healthier for our children."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-html="https://www.tiktok.com/@magshrts1/video/7153056427446226219" data-ctd-shortcode-id="html" id="html-shortcode-0">Inline HTML</div>

<p>"I was shaken by the recent imagery that was released to sell the alcohol. I find it irresponsible and not something that I would want the children to see. It reminded me of painful times," she continued, writing that she does not feel she "can be involved, publicly or privately, in a business based on alcohol, when alcoholic behavior harmed our family so deeply."</p>

<p>Jolie then went on to say the "business is therefore past the point of anything that I could be part of, morally and for the good of our family," before detailing "two ways forward," which included the option for an "outright sale," in which she says she "would completely support" him "in seeking to sell the company and move away from this hard and painful chapter in our lives."</p>

<p>"The alternative is that a complete buy out of my share in the property and business by you, the Perrin family or your associates," she wrote. "Either way, I believe we need to move forward in order to heal and focus on where our family comes together, and where we have positive associations. And to do so quickly."</p>

<p>Jolie then brought up <a href="https://www.etonline.com/angelina-jolie-alleges-brad-pitt-choked-struck-two-of-their-children-and-poured-alcohol-on-kids" rel="" target="_blank">the 2016 plane incident</a> in which she previously claimed&nbsp;Pitt "lunged at his own child," and&nbsp;"choked one of the children and struck another in the face." Jolie also alleged that Pitt&nbsp;"poured beer" on her and "poured beer and red wine on the children." The same month the alleged incident took place, Jolie filed for divorce.</p>

<p>She wrote in her email,&nbsp;"I cannot begin to express how upsetting it is for me to have to reach this point. Your dream for your relationship to the business and the alcohol is your own and you’ve made it painfully clear.&nbsp;I wish you all the best with the business, and&nbsp;sincerely hope that the children feel differently about Miraval when they are older, and visit you there. But Miraval for me died September 2016, and everything I have seen in the years since has sadly confirmed that."</p>

<p>Earlier this year, Jolie sold Chateau Miraval Winery&nbsp;to&nbsp;Russian oligarch&nbsp;Yuri Shefler, which prompted <a href="https://www.etonline.com/brad-pitt-sues-angelina-jolie-for-selling-chateau-miraval-winery-to-russian-oligarch-179583" rel="" target="_blank">Pitt to sue her</a>. Pitt acknowledged&nbsp;that his ex-wife put in&nbsp;40 percent&nbsp;of the $28.4 million purchase price,&nbsp;but claimed&nbsp;it was only him who made the winery successful. Pitt also claims that per terms of their 2019 divorce, he and Jolie&nbsp;had a "mutual understanding"&nbsp;that neither of them could sell their part of&nbsp;the winery without the other's consent.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Last month, Jolie's&nbsp;former company, Nouvel, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/angelina-jolies-former-company-sues-brad-pitt-for-250-million-190391" rel="" target="_blank">filed a $250&nbsp;million lawsuit against Pitt</a>, claiming the actor&nbsp;waged a "vindictive war" in an attempt to wrestle away control of the winery. According to a court document, the company claimed Pitt "masterminded a so-far-successful plan" to take control of Chateau Miraval and used the business as his "personal fiefdom."</p>

<p>Pitt's struggle with alcohol addiction as well as the alleged 2016 plane&nbsp;incident were also brought up in the lawsuit, with&nbsp;Nouvel saying, "Pitt developed a publicly acknowledged alcohol abuse problem," and mentioned "a serious and internationally publicized incident between Pitt, Jolie and the couple's children."</p>

<p>In response to the filing, a source told ET that it's&nbsp;"yet another rehash and repackaging of old material to try and distract from the other party's own behavior."</p>
