Though, Hayek recently suspected Pinault of cheating. The Mexican actress got a hold of the French mogul’s phone and saw some text messages from an unknown woman named Elena on his phone asking if he wanted to practice his English “right now.” A suspicious Hayek confronted him about it fearing that at the least a desperate woman was trying to steal her man, but Pinault explained that the messages were actually from ELSA, an English-learning app. As it turns out, the pair have different native tongues and speak English at home, and Pinault was tired of his kids teasing him for his bad English accent so he was getting some app-assisted tutoring. Hayek recounted the tale on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. This all reminds us of the storyline from the the first season of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt where Jane Krakowsi’s character suspects her husband of cheating on her, but finds out the mystery is a robot (which, of course, doesn’t deter her from thinking that he’s still having an affair with the robot). | | |  | | To no surprise, The Fate of the Furious took another lap atop the box office heap this weekend with about $38.6 million. It was joined on the podium by Boss Baby and Beauty and the Beast, which took second and third respectively. The weekend’s five new wide released were no match for those blockbusters. In fact, Disney’s panda-centric nature documentary Born in China was the only one that didn’t manage to embarrass itself, coming in fourth $5.1 million (Disney’s best nature doc opening since 2012’s Chimpanzees). The others, including the Katherine Heigl as psycho ex schlockfest Unforgettable all underperformed. The Brie Larson-starring shoot ‘em up Free Fire was the biggest disappointment, taking in just a bit over $1 million. The marketing for the flick made it seem like one big gun fight, and as it turns outs America wasn’t up to being entertained by gun violence at the moment. | | | | | | | | | How long have we been waiting for these damn Avatar sequels? To steal a line from another James Cameron movie, it feels like “it’s been 84 years.” Actually, the first movie came out in 2009 and was supposed to be the kickoff for a mega-franchise with tons of sequels in the works. Yet, nothing concrete has come of those ambitious plans. Until now. Cameron has clarified that there will be four more Avatar films, and Avatar 2 will finally come out in 2020, just 11 years after the first one. The other three are pegged to 2021, 2024 and 2025 release dates (all will have tentpole positioning with late December opening nights). All four will also be shot at the same time. All this begs the question, though, does anyone really want this? Avatar was all fine and well, but it doesn’t seem like there’s that much pent up demand. We mean, Frank Ocean took just four years between albums and the internet lost its damned mind waiting for Blonde. Maybe we’re just traveling in the wrong circles. Of course, considering these are painfully expensive movies to make, we assume there’s enough demand out there for the people financing them to go through with the ambitious plan. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Artist Jessy Nite isn’t afraid of some color. | | | | | | | | | | Kehlani, 22 (You’re Supposed to Know Who She Is)
