Olivia Wilde Dismisses ‘Spitgate’ and Other ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ Drama with Stephen Colbert (Video)

Jordan Peterson visited Piers Morgan and got very emotional when asked about Olivia Wilde’s recent comments regarding him.

On “The Late Show” Thursday, Stephen Colbert spent some time mocking the weirdness of modern-day Republican ads. If you’ve watched any, you know: The extreme gun fetishization; the violence both implied and direct; the baked-in hostility; weird music. And then he showed what it would be like if one of the Republican Party’s most celebrated political ads ever — made for the most-celebrated Republican ever — had been made in 2022 instead of 1984.For his monologue, Colbert focused on an ad produced by right wing congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, whose new reelection commercial features some pretty weird stuff.

“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert found the funny in certain uber-rich Americans falling lower on the Forbes’ wealthiest list for 2022.After opening his monologue with a detailed dissection – for joke purposes – of the revelations about former President Donald Trump from Maggie Haberman’s as-yet-unreleased book, Colbert spent a little time on the topic of Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg dropping out of Forbes’ Top 10 wealthiest Americans list.“Here’s a little something that might bring a smile to your face. For the first time since the great recession, the super rich did not get richer this year,” Colbert began.

Nick Kroll is taking credit for the wildly dramatic press tour surrounding his new film, «The movie, if you haven't seen it yet, it's a thriller, and I think the less you know about the movie going in the better so that when you're watching it it's all new and surprising,» Kroll saaid on . «So I decided, 'Let's make a lot of buzz around the film but not about the film itself, right?'»In the film, Kroll plays the husband of director/actress Olivia Wilde's character.As Wilde and her cast have promoted the film in recent months, they've been plagued by drama surrounding everything from the project's early casting shakeups — with Harry Styles taking over for Shia LaBeouf -- to Wilde's high-profile split from her long-time partner, Jason Sudeikis, and subsequent romance with her new leading man, to an alleged falling out between Wilde and lead actress Florence Pugh.While the drama had largely been between Wilde, LaBeouf and Pugh, Styles and co-star Chris Pine were also dragged into the rumor mill over an alleged incident at the Venice Film Festival — dubbed#Spitgate by fans online.«I'm the puppeteer,» Kroll joked of the scandals. «I was like, 'Hey Harry, you know what would be a great idea? When you walk into the premiere at Venice, spit on Chris Pine.' And he was like, 'Got it,' but then he was like, 'I don't know if that's gonna work,'» Kroll teased.«Then I was like, 'Maybe you should just, you know, give me a kiss,'» he continued, «and then I asked him to spit in my mouth and he wouldn't do that. He's got boundaries.

The spit seen around the world? Don’t Worry Darling originally stirred up interest in its mysterious plot — but it was the behind-the-scenes drama that became an even bigger topic of conversation between fans and cast members alike.

Noted Tolkien expert Stephen Colbert was bummed a little during his monologue on Monday with the news that Italy’s new neo-fascist Prime Minister is apparently really, really into “the Lord of the Rings.”And in explaining why it doesn’t make sense for extreme right wingers to love Tolkien’s legendarium, he nerded out so much even his own camera started to drift off.“The part that hurts the most for me personally,” Colbert said after explaining the situation, “is that Meloni, who leads a party that has often been described as neo-fascist, claims to be a big Tolkien fan, who used to dress up as a hobbit.”“No! No! Or, as they say in Italian, no. Don’t you ruin the ‘Lord of the Rings.’ No self-respecting adult dresses like a hobbit.

Now that “Don’t Worry Darling” is in theaters, will the drama surrounding this movie finally end? Unfortunately, the answer is no.  Olivia Wilde and Shia LaBeouf may have settled their beef, and, no, Harry Styles didn’t spit on Chris Pine at the movie’s Venice premiere, but it looks like the longest-standing rumor about “Don’t Worry Darling” still has legs.   Thanks to an anonymous source, Vulture reports that Florence Pugh and Wilde did have a falling out on the “Don’t Worry Darling” set in January 2021.

is proving to be a very ironic title for director Olivia Wilde's sophomore directorial effort, as quite a bit of drama worth worrying about has unfolded over the course of production and the subsequent promotional blitz ahead of the Warner Bros. film's release later this month.From the film's early casting shakeups — with Harry Styles taking over for Shia LaBeouf — to Wilde's high-profile split from her long-time partner, Jason Sudeikis, and subsequent romance with her new leading man, drama, rumors and mild scandals have permeated every facet of the film's production.While the drama had largely been between Wilde, LaBeouf and Florence Pugh, Styles and co-star Chris Pine have been dragged into the rumor mill over an alleged incident at the Venice Film Festival — which has been filled with drama for the film on all fronts.With the tensions between Wilde and LaBeouf coming to a head last week as the actor accused the filmmaker of misrepresenting his exit from the film — and rumors swirling over Pugh's alleged feud with Wilde supposedly due to her romance with Styles and split from Sudeikis — it feels like risks being overshadowed by the controversy.Amid the back-and-forth allegations and fan-fueled rumors, ET is breaking down all the drama and examining the behind-the-scenes in-fighting and how the headline-grabbing feuds first formed. In April 2020, news broke that Pugh and LaBeouf — as well as Chris Pine — had been cast as the leads of Wilde's forthcoming drama, which is set in the 1950s.

Jordan Moreau After what seems like months of eye-catching headlines and a towering rumor mill of behind-the-scenes drama, Olivia Wilde’s “Don’t Worry Darling” has landed in theaters, earning $3.1 million at the domestic box office from previews. The early haul includes Thursday previews from more than 3,300 locations and a Monday live Imax event. The Warner Bros. film is estimated to earn between $17 million to $20 million in its opening weekend, with some projections as high as $25 million. With a price tag of $35 million to produce, a result anywhere in that range would mark a solid start for the film. “Don’t Worry Darling” is Wilde’s second directorial effort, after her 2019 debut “Booksmart,” which was critically adored, but underperformed at the box office. The R-rated comedy had a soft opening of just $8.7 million over the four-day Memorial Day weekend. “Don’t Worry Darling,” a twisty psychological thriller with a starry cast including Harry Styles, Florence Pugh and Chris Pine, will surely eclipse that box office mark.
