Amy Adams Admits She Stopped Using Instagram Because 'I’m Kind of Boring'

Amy Adams stopped posting to her Instagram account in 2021

NEED TO KNOW

• In a new S Magazine cover story, the star explained that using social media “didn't feel organic”

• Adams described herself as “kind of boring” and “routine-driven” with her husband and daughter

Don't expect to seeAmy Adamsback on Instagram anytime soon.

The Oscar-nominated actress, 51, opened up about her career,agingand life these days in herS Magazinecover story, admitting that she has stopped using Instagram. Adams'last poston the platform, a tribute to her husbandDarren Le Gallo, was back in 2021.

“It didn't feel organic,” theCape Fearstar told the outlet. Her reasoning? “I'm kind of boring,” she said.

“I am really routine-driven. I go to the same places,” continued Adams. “I'm already so settled in my ways that I would have to hunt for something to post about outside of work.”

Because she broke out in the 2005 movieJunebugat age 31, Adams became a star before an active social media presence was considered an essential part of a Hollywood career. “Coming into the busier, more forward-facing times in my career, I was already into my thirties,” she explained.

Part of that was thanks to Le Gallo, who Adams first met in 2001 when they were enrolled in the same acting class. The two eventually married in 2015 and share a 16-year-old daughter,Aviana Olea Le Gallo. Adams'old Instagram postsoffered occasional glimpses of home life in Los Angeles among the family of three as well as promotingThe RightWay Foundation, a nonprofit supporting foster youth.

Becoming a public figure in her early 30s, said Adams, “I came in with my husband already [and] with my friend group. I just kept living.”

The Red Clay Strays Say They 'Almost Died' After Their Private Jet Malfunctioned on the Way to the 2026 ACMs

The Red Clay Strays experienced a private jet malfunction en route to the 2026 ACM Awards

NEED TO KNOW

• The band previously faced extreme turbulence on a flight to a music festival, sharing the ordeal on Instagram

• The group won Group of the Year at the ACMs and performed their song “Demons in Your Choir”

The Red Clay Strays had a rocky road getting to the2026 ACM Awards.

The musicians said on the red carpet that they “almost died” while en route to the show after their private jet suffered technical difficulties.

The band was asked byYahoo Entertainmenton May 17 what the “most country thing” they'd done that week was, and guitarist Zach Rishel was quick to answer.

“We almost died in that private jet. Part of our engine cowling flew off during takeoff,” he explained.

Bassist Andrew Bishop said the jet circled above Mobile, Ala. for about two hours in order to lose enough fuel to land again and get the band onto a different plane to Las Vegas.

Drummer John Hall then showed a photo of the broken engine, and emphasized that the issue happened “in the air.”

“It was terrifying,” Hall said.

The Red Clay Strays won Group of the Year at the ACMs, and also performed “Demons in Your Choir.”

The ACMs incident is not the first time the band has had trouble in the skies. In October, they shared video of extreme turbulence on a flight taking them to a country music festival in Salt Lake City, Utah.

In the clip, which was shared toInstagram, the frightened band members held on tight as the plane shook due to extreme winds.

At one point, Bishop played the Lynyrd Skynyrd song “That Smell” from his phone, quipping that if the plane was going to go down, “It's gonna go down to Skynyrd.”

Lynyrd Skynyrd was famously involved in a 1977 plane crash in Mississippi that killed six people, including band members Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines and Cassie Gaines.

Elsewhere in the video, band members can be heard saying they'll be “drinking to that, boys!” and that someone threw up due to the turbulence.

“Apparently we hit an over 40 degree bank while trying to land in Salt Lake😬 Naturally as we thought the plane was going down, @good_time_andy thought it was a good time to play some Skynyrd,” the group captioned the post. “Seriously though, very thankful to our pilots @james_pruitt56 @pruittjlr45 for their quick-thinking and coolness under pressure. Y'all rock!”

Snooki says she was 'planning her funeral' after cancer diagnosis: 'I definitely had a breakdown'

Snooki said that it was "terrifying" to receive her stage 1 cervical cancer diagnosis.

Key points

• She recalled thinking, "I got to get my will in place. What's going to happen? Like, planning my funeral."

• However, the reality star felt reassured after learning more about others' experiences: "I'm going to be okay."

Nicole "Snooki" Polizziis reflecting on her cancer diagnosis.

TheJersey Shorestar discussed her health scare in an interview with Kristin Cavallari on theLet's Be Honestpodcast.

Snooki said that it felt "terrifying" to receive her stage 1 cervical cancer diagnosis, which sheannounced in February,

"Like, 'Hi, am I dying? What is going on?'" she remembered. "I definitely had a breakdown. Like, oh my God, what am I going to do? I got to get my will in place. What's going to happen? Like, planning my funeral. I was being so dramatic."

However, the reality star said that she felt much calmer after learning about the general trends for stage 1 cervical cancer, which has a92% survival rate, according to the University of Kansas Cancer Center.

"I did research, and I was like, 'This is so common for women and no one really talks about it,'" Snooki remembered. "And I'm going to be okay because, you know, there's things I have to do and I'll be fine. Because stage 1 is like the best-case scenario. So yeah, I just have to get a hysterectomy and then just have to watch it for the rest of my life. "

Snooki said that she originally didn't plan to go public with her diagnosis. "I didn't think I was going to tell anyone just like my close family. And that's it," she said. "Let's deal with this like no one's going to know."

However, she felt a responsibility to share her story because she believes personal testimonies are helpful and reassuring to people receiving a new diagnosis.

"When you Google it, it's just like words. It's like Wikipedia words like 'This is what's going to happen,'" she remembered. "I needed someone to be relatable and talk about their experience. So I went on TikTok, and there's just so many women saying, 'I just got diagnosed with stage 1. This is what I have to do.' And then other TikToks saying how they got a hysterectomy. It wasn't that bad, but you know, I have to rest."

She continued, "I feel like I need to tell my story because I literally looked for these women to make me feel better. So why not talk about it? Because nobody talks about it. And it's so common."

The reality star said that she's planning on receiving a hysterectomy this summer after she finishes production on her Paramount+ showCanada Shore.

"I talked to the doctor. So all my friends and my family's yelling at me like, 'Who cares about work? You gotta just get this done,'" she explained. "But when you have a TV show, you can't just move production. It's already set in stone. I have to go to Canada."

Snooki is unconcerned with her cancer advancing. "I think it's fine. I just want to get the show done. It's almost done," she said. "And I talked to the doctor, and I'm like, 'Can this escalate to stage 2 overnight?' And he's like, 'No, it'll take a couple of years. I think you're okay to hold off 'til summer.' So I got the okay from the doctor."

Ms. Etta, who is currently in hospice care at Lower Cape Fear LifeCare in the basketball legend's North Carolina hometown, received a surprise video call from Jordan, 63, as part of her wish to talk her former student-turned-basketball icon one last time.

According to LifeCare staff, Jordan's name kept coming up as Ms. Etta reflected on her favorite memories and past students at Laney High School. After various attempts to get in contact with Jordan, Wendy, a LifeCare social worker, received a call from an unknown number.

"Is this Ms. Etta?” the caller asked, per Wilmington local newsWECT 6, noting that it was the star athlete himself on the line.

Since Wendy was at her own home at the time she received the call from Jordan, who famously played for theChicago Bullsand Washington Wizards over the course of his illustrious career that spanned 15 seasons in the NBA before he retired in April 2003, she drove straight to Ms. Etta.

"They laughed, reminisced, picked at each other, and shared a moment that brought tears to everyone in the room,” the staff at Lower Cape Fear LifeCare told the outlet of the retired teacher and her former student, Jordan.

In a clip shared by the outlet, Ms. Etta is seen relaxing on a couch in her home while on FaceTime with Jordan. The basketball player, who was wearing a blue t-shirt, is seen smiling widely on the call.

It was a memory that Ms. Etta and her family will remember forever, they told the outlet.

The year before, theNBA legend marked his 60th birthdaywith a record-breaking $10 million donation to Make-A-Wish — the largest individual gift in the nonprofit’s history, according to the organization.

"For the past 34 years, it's been an honor to partner with Make-A-Wish and help bring a smile and happiness to so many kids,"Jordan said in a statementat the time. "Witnessing their strength and resilience during such a tough time in their lives has truly been an inspiration."

• The pop star credits Hutchence with helping her embrace a more authentic version of herself

• Minogue describes their breakup as her first real heartbreak

Kylie Minoguestill reflects fondly on her time with late INXS rockerMichael Hutchence.

The pop star, 57, opens up about her two-year romance with Hutchence in the new Netflix docuseriesKylie(streaming May 20), and reveals that she's still on the hunt for something similar to the love they shared.

"We were good together. Shoulda, woulda, coulda, whatever. You go on and live your lives. But it was definitely an amazing point in time," she says in the docuseries. "I've probably been looking for something like that ever since, and I haven't got it."

Minogue and Hutchence first met at an INXS concert in Sydney in 1989, when she was still dating herNeighbourscostar Jason Donovan.

As they describe in the doc, the pair joined INXS at an afterparty, and when sparks flew between Minogue and Hutchence, the rest was history.

The "Padam Padam" singer recalled "concern" from her team that her good girl image would be tainted by associating with rock's bad boy.

After their split, Minogue has been in several other relationships; she was briefly engaged toactor Joshua Sassein 2016, and was most recently linked toPaul Solomonsfrom 2018 to 2023.

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the Grammy winner said that speaking about Hutchence was "the first real emotional point" for her while filming the documentary.

"I was like, ‘Oh no, oh no, it's happening. Try to keep yourself together,'" she says. "I was just sad because he's no longer with us, so that adds a whole other dimension on top of my memories and my truth and my purity of that time of my feelings."

Lamorne Morris says Jake Johnson won't join“ New Girl ”reunion because 'he doesn't like the fans'

The faux feud between New Girl stars Lamorne Morris and Jake Johnson rages on.

Key Points

• Morris recently claimed that Johnson wouldn't attend a cast reunion because he "doesn't want to be involved with the rest of us."

• "He's probably somewhere just smoking a bunch of cigarettes in a corner by himself," the actor said.

Lamorne MorrisandJake Johnsoncannot stop throwing each other under the bus when it comes to a potentialNew Girlreunion.

For years, the actors (and secret besties) have publicly blamed one another for being the reason why the cast of the celebrated Fox series has never officially reunited onscreen since it ended in 2018. And it’s clear that the bogus beef between them isn’t getting quashed anytime soon.

When asked byEntertainment Tonightat theSpider-Noirpremiere if the cast had plans to celebrate the show’s 15th anniversary this September, Morris replied, “I think so, as a cast, except for Jake.”

He continued, “I don't think Jake Johnson will be able to make it because he’s, you know… Hollywood has its grips on people. And I think that he, I don't know, he's probably somewhere just smoking a bunch of cigarettes in a corner, by himself, doesn't want to be involved with the rest of us.”

But theFargoactor wasn’t done putting Johnson on blast just yet. “He doesn't like the fans. He's not a fan person, you know?” he said. “I am. I really love the fans. Max Greenfield, Hannah Simone, Zooey Deschanel, Damon Wayans Jr., we all love the fans so much.”

Adopting his bestDonald Trumpimpression, Morris teased, “We love them so much. So, so much! And Jake hates the fans. He thinks they're low-IQ people.”

TheFargoactor was then asked if Johnson ever messages him about his disparaging comments. “No, he'll just go on his other interview and then say something really awful about me,” Morris replied. “So this is gonna keep on going.”

Morris and Johnson's faux feud appears to have started back in 2024, when theGame Nightactor repeatedly claimed that Johnson was specifically at fault for aNew Girlreunion never coming together while conducting press forFargoandSaturday Night. "Jake Johnson hates the fans, I guess,” Morris commiserated onthe 2024 Emmys red carpet.

Johnson disputed Morris' claims — and pointed the finger right back at him — on his podcast that same year. “We’re all in but Lamorne won’t do the contract,” Johnsonteased, before noting that “he and I are just constantly going after each other these days.”

Morris fired back at Johnson in a subsequent interview withThe Hollywood Reporter, claiming Johnson was refusing to join the reunion unless he received proper compensation. “His whole thing is, I gots to get paid,” he joked at the time. “And we’re like, Jake, please just do it for the fans. And he’s like nope, I gots to get paid. Hopefully he changes his mind.”

Their quarrel reignited in March, when Johnson reasserted his claim that, actually, everyonebutMorris has signed on for the reunion.

“We’re all in besides Lamorne… Because he got an Emmy and he thinks they’re better than us,” he toldDeadline, referencing Morris' Emmy win forFargo. “And I have direct quotes saying ‘I’m too talented and too funny to be on a sitcom with you, hacks.'”

“Michael ”won't stop 'til it gets enough, as it rockets back to No. 1 at domestic and global box office

Michael retook the top spot at the box office this weekend with a $26 million domestic take and $83.8 million globally.

Key Points

• In its fourth week of release, the jukebox musical biopic of Michael Jackson beat out The Devil Wears Prada 2 in week 3 and new horror release Obsession in its premiere.

• The King of Pop faces serious competition from Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Groguat next weekend's box office battle.

The comebacks keep coming.

A month into its release, Antoine Fuqua's jukebox biopicMichaelproved thatnegative critical opinionand a good deal ofpre-release controversyare no match for the King of Pop — or for his nephew, Jaafar Jackson, who playsMichael Jacksonin the film.

Michaelearned $26 million domestically in its fourth week in theaters, and $83.8 million globally, earning it the top spot on both box office charts, per Comscore. The filmpremiered at No. 1in mid-March before being overtaken in the following weeks byThe Devil Wears Prada 2.But the fashion-forward sequel shed nearly 400 screens in its third week of release, ceding both box office lists toMichael, which is proving to have some of the most loyal fans of the year thus far.

Diving deeper into the numbers proves thatMichael's success is no fluke.

After four weeks, the film is still showing strong in 3,560 theaters, and registered a $7,388 per-theater-average this weekend.The Devil Wears Prada 2, meanwhile, earned $4,700 per theater in the same time frame, while on 3,830 theaters and after only three weeks. The buzzy reunion for Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci, and Emily Blunt $18 million domestically this weekend, and $68.6 million globally.

The debut film from rising horror star Curry Barker, Focus Features' supernatural chillerObsession, snagged the No. 3 spot domestically. It earned $16 million in its premiere at home and $23 million around the world, placing it at No. 6 on the global leaderboard.Dear Youtook that chart's bronze — an indie drama from China that earned $39 million from its second week in theaters.

At $703.8 million worldwide,Michaelis now the second highest-earning film at the 2026 global box office.The Super Mario Galaxy Moviestill has a roughly $200 million lead on the musical biopic, but given the latter film's legs, that gap could close in coming weeks.

Domestically, the film is two spots away from the gold, withProject Hail MarybestingMichael's $282.7 million gross with its $334.8 million gross.

After a month of moonwalking and catwalking, a coming contender finally poses a credible threat withstarwalking.

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Groguarrives in theaters next weekend, bringing the full, combined forces Disney, Lucasfilm, and theStar Warsfranchise to bear on the box office.

At April's CinemaCon convention, director Jon Favreaupremiered the film's opening minutesfor the excited crowd. Fans can look forward to seeing the lovable Grogu use the Force and Pedro Pascal's Din Djarin use laser blasts, flamethrowers, and his fists to mow down stormtroopers in an epic fight scene in the first big-screen treatment of the beloved characters from Disney+ seriesThe Mandalorian.
