2. Julianne Moore has made a career confession live on air.

The first time actor Julianne Moore was fired she was 15 years old and working in a yoghurt shop. The second, she was starring in Can You Ever Forgive Me, a Hollywood movie that would go on to be nominated for multiple Academy Awards.

It was reported in 2015 that the Oscar winner had abandoned the film, a true story about a celebrity biographer-turned-forger Lee Israel, due to “creative differences”. But during an interview on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen on Thursday, Moore revealed she was dumped in pre-production by the original director and woman behind the screenplay, Nicole Holofcener.

“I didn’t leave that movie, I was fired,” Moore said. “Nicole fired me. So yeah, that’s the truth.

“I think she didn’t like what I was doing. I think that her idea of where the character was, was different than where my idea of where the character was, and so she fired me.”

Asked if she’d ever seen the film, Moore said no – “It’s still kind of painful” – but was quick to praise her replacement, Melissa McCarthy, who was nominated for an Oscar for her performance.

“I love Melissa McCarthy, I worship her. I think she’s fantastic,” she said. “So I’m sure she’s great.”

3. “I’m heartbroken.” Megan Marx has spoken about her split from Jake Ellis.

Megan Marx and Jake Ellis' recent separation is the third the pair have endured since meeting on Bachelor in Paradise 2018. But lord knows, it doesn't get any easier.

Marx, who first appeared on the 2016 season of The Bachelor (ie. the Richie season), confirmed the breakup on Instagram last week, and speaking to The Daily Mail on Friday, said it's been a "rough" trot.

"You know, [I'm] pretty heartbroken, pretty sad," the influencer told the tabloid.

"Did all of my crying for the whole of 2019. But I've been trying to keep myself busy, getting my motorbike license and getting a puppy."

Which seems like... a lot. But you do you.

Marx said she reignited the relationship this last time around, because she felt like she owed it to herself to give Ellis another shot. But now, it's well and truly over.

"I think, if it's this hard... It shouldn't be this hard. It's a slog," she said. "If it just makes you both unhappy, what's the point of that?"

4. Gwyneth Paltrow's latest Instagram photo has some scratching their heads.

Gwyneth Paltrow created a new phrase in 2014 when she 'consciously uncoupled' from her husband Chris Martin. And when she took said ex-husband on her honeymoon, after her wedding to Brad Falchuk, she created a new understanding of 'honeymoons'.

Yes, over the years, Gwyneth Paltrow has had people scratching their heads. And she is at it again.

Posting on her Instagram page for International Women's Day, Paltrow shared a photo with her current and former mother-in-law alongside a caption expressing gratitude for the women in her life.

5. The signs Michael Jackson was grooming the children he was close to that so many missed.

Now that Leaving Neverland is finally available on 10 Play, the details of Michael Jackson's alleged abuse of choreographer Wade Robson, 36, and James "Jimmy" Safechuck, 42 is shocking the world.

Every minute of the four-hour, two-part film is confronting, with the men making explicit and very detailed claims over the horrors Michael Jackson allegedly inflicted on them in the mid-to-late 1980s.

With Jackson's sexual abuse of children long suspected - though never taken as seriously as it is now - it was the emotional manipulation and psychological grooming of these young boys that was so disturbing.

For both of these young boys, the documentary posits that Michael Jackson groomed them, and their families, for months before the sexual abuse, that then went on for years, began.
