Kevin Winter/Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) — Jason Momoa is standing with his Justice League costar Ray Fisher and backing the alleged claims of abuse while on set. 

In a strongly worded Instagram post the Aquaman star called for a thorough investigation into the accusations. 

“THIS S*** HAS TO STOP AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT,” he wrote on Monday alongside a photo of himself and Fisher at Comic-Con.“@ray8fisher AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO EXPERIENCED WHAT HAPPEN[ED] UNDER THE WATCH OF @wbpictures NEEDS PROPER INVESTIGATION.”

Referencing leaked reports that he’s set to star in a Warner Bros. Frosty the Snowman project, Momoa added, “I just think it’s [messed] up that people released a fake Frosty announcement without my permission to try to distract from Ray Fisher speaking up about the [crappy] way we were treated on Justice League reshoots.
Serious stuff went down. It needs to be investigated and people need to be held accountable.”

Momoa’s support comes two months after Fisher, who is known for his portrayal of Victor Stone/Cyborg in the DC Extended Universe, fired off a tweet describing his experience working with director Joss Whedon on the 2017 film.  

“Joss Whedon’s on-set treatment of the cast and crew of Justice League was gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. He was enabled, in many ways, by Geoff Johns and Jon Berg,” he wrote on July 1. “Accountability>Entertainment.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Berg has denied the claims, while Johns and Whedon have not addressed them publicly.

Emma McIntyre/Getty Images for Turner(LOS ANGELES) — It’s been 15 years since they broke up, but fans will finally see famous exes Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt digitally reunite for a noble cause.

After several setbacks, the long awaited table read of the 1982 teen classic Fast Times at Ridgemont High is set to take place Thursday, September 17, at 9 p.m. ET.  The charity stream will benefit COVID-19 relief funds CORE (Community Organized Relief Effort) and REFORM alliance.

CORE teased the upcoming table read on Monday with a visual, which features all the celebrities happily participating in the event.

Joining Aniston and Pitt will be a swath of A-listers, such as Morgan Freeman, Matthew McConaughey, Julia Roberts and Sean Penn.

The charity table read, organized and hosted by Dane Cook, also tapped Crazy Rich Asians star Henry Golding, Shia LaBeouf, Ray Liotta, Jimmy Kimmel and “All of Me” singer John Legend.

Penn is the only main original star reprising his part for the Fast Times table read.  The 1982 flick also starred Jennifer Jason Leigh and Judge Reinhold.

Aniston and Pitt were married in 2000 and famously divorced in 2005.  The two largely stayed out of their respective circles but crossed paths earlier this year at the Screen Actors Guild Awards when the Friends actress picked up a trophy for her leading roll in the Apple TV+ series The Morning Show.

Pitt also took home an award for his acting role on Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood.

Fans can watch the highly anticipated table read on LiveXLive or on CORE’s Facebook page starting at 9 p.m. ET on Thursday.

Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic(BELTON, SC) — Chadwick Boseman was laid to rest on September 3 at Welfare Baptist Church Cemetery in Belton, South Carolina, not far from the late actor’s hometown of Anderson, according to a death certificate obtained by E! Online.

The Black Panther star died at his home in Los Angeles, states the certificate, which lists organ failure as the immediate cause of death, brought on by his four-year battle with colon cancer.

The certificate also states that Boseman underwent colectomy surgery in 2016.  Then, in March 2020, the 43-year-old actor had laparoscopic surgery to remove cancer that had metastasized.

Boseman, who died on August 28, never revealed his fight publicly.
