Nicole Kidman stops interview to point out a sexist question about her ex

Early on in an interview with The Guardian about her new film, “Being the Ricardos,” Nicole Kidman called out the reporter for asking a “sexist” question about Nicole’s ex-husband, Tom Cruise. They’d been talking about her performance as Lucille Ball in a film focused on the “I Love Lucy” star’s marriage to Desi Arnaz, which ultimately ended in divorce in 1960. “It’s about a creative and romantic relationship that doesn’t work out. But from it come some extraordinary things. And I love that. I love that it’s not a happy ending,” Nicole said. “This film says you can make an extraordinary relationship thrive and leave remnants of it that exist forever. Yeah, that’s really gorgeous. You can’t make people behave how you want them to, and sometimes you’re going to fall in love with someone who isn’t going to be the person you spend the rest of your life with. And I think that’s all very relatable. You may have kids with them. You may not, but they were very much in love.” That’s when the reporter asked Nicole if her comments were her “way of talking about Tom Cruise,” whom she divorced in 2001 after 11 years of marriage. “Oh, my God, no, no. Absolutely not. No. I mean, that’s, honestly, so long ago that that isn’t in this equation. So no,” said Nicole, who remarried in 2006 and now shares two young daughters with Keith Urban. “And I would ask not to be pigeonholed that way, either,” she added. “It feels to me almost sexist, because I’m not sure anyone would say that to a man. And at some point, you go, ‘Give me my life. In its own right.'”

Oprah Winfrey breaks silence on Dr. Oz’s run for office

When surgeon-turned celebrity TV doctor, Mehmet Oz — known better as Dr. Oz — announced he was running for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania as a Republican in 2022, Oprah Winfrey initially stayed mum on her longtime friend, colleague and regular “Oprah Winfrey Show” guest’s campaign. She finally addressed Dr. Oz’s candidacy in a New York magazine profile published this week. “One of the great things about our democracy is that every citizen can decide to run for public office,” Oprah said in a statement. “Mehmet Oz has made that decision. And now it’s up to the residents of Pennsylvania to decide who will represent them.” Despite her tepid comments about his senate run, Oprah’s professional relationship with Dr. Oz dates back to at least 2003, when she produced 13 episodes of his Discovery Channel show, “Second Opinion With Dr. Oz.” He was also a guest on five seasons of “Oprah,” according to Wikipedia. More recently, he’s come under fire for advocating unproven or disproven approaches to medical issues including COVID-19, and for inviting anti-vaccination activists on his show. “We are angry at our government and at each other,” Dr. Oz said in his November campaign announcement. “We have not managed our crises as effectively as past generations. During the pandemic, I learned that when you mix politics and medicine, you get politics instead of solutions. That’s why I am running for the U.S. Senate: to help fix the problems and to help us heal.”
