The reason Rooney was such a get was because in 2019 she set up an elaborate social media sting to catch the person she believed was selling stories about the couple to U.K. tabloids. The culprit, Rooney revealed online, was fellow “WAG” (the collective noun for athletes’ wives and girlfriends) Rebekah Vardy. The revelation, which saw Rooney dubbed “WAG-atha Christie” for her sleuthing skills, went viral and sparked a libel lawsuit from Vardy. After three years of legal wrangling, every detail of which was covered by a salivating media, Vardy lost the court case earlier this year.

Clayton Davis Reputations go a long way in Hollywood, and when you’re seeking Oscar attention, a good one provides a significant edge against the competition. While more than a few contenders in this year’s mix have had previous run-ins with colleagues and journalists, those without that baggage have social media, and the industry, rooting for them. At the top of the list is Brendan Fraser, one of the best comeback stories in years. In Darren Aronofsky’s “The Whale” (Aronofsky and Fraser are both on the cover of this week’s New York issue of Variety) where he plays a 600-pound man looking to reconnect with his daughter, he delivers an astounding performance. The adaptation of Samuel D. Hunter’s play may face an uphill battle in other major categories, based on reactions so far. However, the star of “The Mummy” (1999) and “Encino Man” (1992) has been able to rise above any criticism, especially after Variety posted a viral video of him getting emotional during the film’s standing ovation at Venice.

Zack Sharf “Harry Potter” actor Tom Felton distanced the film franchise from J.K. Rowling in a new interview with The Independent, although he still gave the author credit for being “responsible” for the “Harry Potter” franchise and connecting people “of all ages, of all backgrounds.” Rowling has generated backlash for years due to anti-transgender beliefs.
