Well, welcome to a new BuzzFeed series, where I brief you on all the times celebs did just that each week. Let's get into it:

OH MY GOD.
2.Justin Sylvester pushed Jenna Bush Hager in a now-viral moment.
He said back TF up 💀
3.In this podcast Pod Meets World, Will Friedle, who played Eric Matthews on Boy Meets World, called out the awkward kissing scenes they had to do for the show.
4.Julia Fox wore one of her "riskiest looks yet" in LA this week:
The look was a latex dress, all held together by some metal rings. Iconic if you ask me. Full story here.
5.Mindy Kaling — who has kept the identity of her children's father private — addressed the rumor that her The Office costar B.J. Novak is the father:
When asked about the rumors and speculations, she told Marie Claire, "It doesn't bother me. He’s the godparent to both my kids — and they have such a great relationship — and so far [the speculation hasn’t] affected my happiness at all, it hasn’t affected my kids or B.J. If that’s what is going to be titillating to people, I’ll take it." Full story here.
6.Sofia Carson's newest film Purple Hearts — which has been the No. 1 movie on Netflix this week — received heavy backlash online for being military propaganda and for being racist and anti-Arab.
7.Sofia then responded to the backlash in an interview with Variety.
"Why I fell in love with the movie is that it’s a love story, but it’s so much more than that. It’s two hearts, one red, one blue, two worlds apart, who are really raised to hate each other. Through the power of love, they learn to lead with empathy and compassion and love each other and turn into this beautiful shade of purple." Full story here.
8.When asked, "But how do you feel about the diversity on Friends?" Lisa Kudrow controversially said that the writers of friends had "no business" writing about POC:
"I feel like it was a show created by two people who went to Brandeis and wrote about their lives after college," she told the Daily Beast. "And for shows especially, when it’s going to be a comedy that’s character-driven, you write what you know. They have no business writing stories about the experiences of being a person of color. I think at that time, the big problem that I was seeing was, ‘Where’s the apprenticeship?’" Full story here.
9.The controversial trailer for House of Hammer dropped:
10.Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson said he wanted to be Megan Thee Stallion's pet:
not Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson saying he'll be Meg Thee Stallion dog when they asked him who celebrity dog he'll be . LMFAOOOOO I FEEL YOU MY BOY .
11.Jay Cutler responded to Kristin Cavallari calling their marriage "toxic" on Call Her Daddy recently.
"If she wants to say stuff, she can say stuff. I’m not going to go down that road about her. I mean, she’s still the mother of my kids," he said during an interview on the Sofia with an F podcast. "Also...it’s been two-and-a-half years. Why are we having these conversations? It's comical." Full story here.
12.The Game dissed Eminem in a new track called "The Black Slim Shady":
13.And lastly, Eminem's daughter Hailie Jade defended him after The Game's diss:
my dad is so legendary that people have to diss him in their songs just to attract audience because they know they would flunk without the attention.
