Dakota Johnson was cast in a Spider-Man spinoff titled Madame Web. The character from comic books is a “blind, clairvoyant, paralyzed mutant who specializes in predicting the future.” (The Hollywood Reporter)

Later this month, Tori Spelling will replace her “expired and recalled” silicone fake boobs. She revealed to E! News how her 13-year-old daughter helped make that decision. (quote) “I got them when I was really young. I didn’t know they would have an expiration. My daughter came to me, ‘Mom, I’m concerned. You have put this off. You told me for years now that you need to get your boobs redone.’”

There’s more to be revealed about the abrupt resignation of CNN president Jeff Zucker. He blamed concealing his workplace love affair. Yet, it was an open secret at CNN. Katie Couric wrote in her tell-all book, Going There, about her former boss’s peculiar affection for a co-worker. Taken together, there’s speculation that Zucker was pushed. The questions remain, by who and why. (Entertainment Tonight)

Simon Cowell described the humiliation of falling off his bike for the second time. He told ITV News in England, (quote) “It was raining. I went round a corner, and the wheels went under me. I knocked myself out. Like a child, I was afraid of going home when I’d done something wrong. I got the biggest telling off from my 7-year-old son, ‘Daddy you didn’t wear a helmet.’”
