Judge in Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt's divorce case responds to bias claims
Judge John W. Ouderkirk, the judge handling Angelina and Brad Pitt's divorce, has formally denied Angelina's claim he's biased in Brad's favor due to business relationships with Brad's lawyers, ET reports. The stars are using a private judge to handle the remaining matters in their split, including the custody of their six children. Angelina previously filed documents claiming Brad's attorneys should have disclosed their other working ties to the judge. She's pushed in court documents for the judge to be disqualified. Brad's team responded to her request to have him removed by calling the move an attempt to delay the finalization of the divorce, which has dragged on since 2016. Despite the judge's assurance he can and will remain impartial, an insider recently told Us Weekly the divorce proceedings are now "at a total impasse" with "no end in sight." Multiple outlets reported this week that Brad's currently dating German model Nicole Poturalski.

Kate Winslet on her 'Contagion' pandemic prep and why she's so proud of her big love scene with Saoirse Ronan in 'Ammonite'
When the coronavirus outbreak first started impacting Wuhan, China and Europe, Kate Winslet shifted into the same gear she'd used while filming "Contagion" — wearing a mask, wiping surfaces down with sanitizer and keeping her distance from others. She was in Philadelphia at the time, shooting a new film, and as she recently told THR, the ability to jump into emergency mindset was helpful. She's due back on set in Pennsylviania next month and while strict safety protocols will be involved in the shoot, Kate knows social distancing won't always be possible. It certainly wouldn't have been for her love scenes with Saoirse Ronan in "Ammonite," due to premiere Sept. 11 at the Toronto Film Festival. The most explicit scene in that film is already getting attention — and Kate's proud to share that she and her co-star designed every move they make during it. "Saoirse and I choreographed the scene ourselves," Kate says. "I just think Saoirse and I, we just felt really safe. [Director] Francis [Lee] was naturally very nervous. And I just said to him, 'Listen, let us work it out.' And we did." Kate recalled how she and Saoirse planned exactly when, where and how to kiss and touch one another, from the beginning to the end. "I mean, we marked out the beats of the scene so that we were anchored in something that just supported the narrative," she explains. "I felt the proudest I've ever felt doing a love scene on 'Ammonite.' And I felt by far the least self-conscious." She also notes she has no problem with the movie's premiere taking place virtually. "I can be barefoot and I don't have to put a dress on and feel sick. So it's awesome," she says. "I can have my glass of wine just out of frame," she adds. Then, moving her "tea" mug closer to the video chat, she laughs and says, "…just like that."

Thandie Newton was 'surprised' by the support she got after speaking out about Tom Cruise, Amy Pascal
After Thandie Newton spoke candidly to Vulture about working with Tom Cruise and Amy Pascal last month, she never expected support. In the interview, Thandie divulged Tom's on-set Scientology proselytizing and shared some of the ways working with him left her "in a place of terror and insecurity. She also shared some of the comments Sony's Amy Pascal had made to her during a "Charlie's Angels" audition that had heavily racist overtones, among other things. "I was surprised by the appreciation I had got," Thandie, 47, said on Variety's "The Big Ticket" podcast on Wednesday. "I thought that I would be in trouble because that's kind of what I'm used to." So why did she say anything at all?"I have nothing to lose because I could just then not get hired, which is kind of normal for people in my generation anyway," Thandie explained. "It's about that this is the reality of what people face," she later added. "I just happened to be an older woman who has recognized that knowing the truth and speaking the truth has benefited me … a lot more than being silenced or seeing people silenced around me." She also said she has not heard from Tom or Amy since the interview was released.

On Sunday — between the weeks that saw the Democrats and Republicans stage their respective National Conventions — a Kenosha, Wisconsin Police officer Rusten Sheskey shot a Black man named Jacob Blake seven times in the back as he leaned into his car, where his children were sitting. The shooting sparked a new wave of outrage about racial injustice, particularly in the sports world, where the Milwaukee Bucks' playoff game boycott graduated into a league-wide playoff postponement, plus canceled games for the WNBA, Major League Soccer and Major League Baseball. "I say bravo. I think is is a moment to take a stand," Tracee Ellis Ross, a host at last week's DNC, told James Corden Wednesday on "The Late, Late Show" (via AOL).

"This is a moment for the collective voice, for off us saying it is enough. I think we have to be honest and clear about what it is, and not normalize it. That's one of the reasons I think the NBA using their voice in that way, like yes, bravo," she continued. "We must continue to do this because we refuse to go back. We have to continue pursuing justice and safe society and a place where you can be at home in your bed and you are safe."

We cannot disregard for human life or Black humanity, Black bodies, Black life, to be brutalized and violently disregarded in that way," Tracee said. "And if we all don't stand up it won't change."

Prince Harry and Megan Markle's Sussex Royal brand is now the MWX Foundation, Page Six reports. The pair previously agreed to remove "royal" from various branding platforms after they stepped back from the royal family to pursue a more independent life together in North America and the U.K. Though their new venture was set to start April 1, the Daily Mail reported the official change this week, citing documents confirming the new foundation name, which Megan and Harry registered on Aug. 5. MWX is thought to stand for "Markle Windsor Foundation."
