Jesse Grant/Getty Images for Disney(LOS ANGELES) — Chris Evans, on Saturday, appeared to have accidentally shared nude photos of himself on his Instagram stories, drawing a number of hilarious responses, including one from his Avengers co-star Mark Ruffalo.

While playing a game of “Heads Up” — in which players try to guess words on cards held to their foreheads while facing away from them, based on their teammates clues — Evans, 39, shared a video with his 5.7 million followers without editing it, revealing a gallery of videos and pictures, including the naughty one, according to the New York Post.

The Captain America star quickly deleted the clip, but not before Ruffalo, a frequent critic of President Donald Trump, tweeted, “@ChrisEvans Bro, while Trump is in office there is NOTHING you could possibly do to embarrass yourself,” Ruffalo joked. “See… silver lining.”

Evans’ brother Scott chimed in as well, joking, “Was off social media for the day yesterday. So. What’d I miss?”

Evans, who is rumored to be dating Mama Mia: Here We Go Again actress Lily James, is re-teaming with his Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo, along with Ryan Gosling, for the spy thriller The Grey Man for Netflix, according to Deadline.

ABC/Laretta Houston(LOS ANGELES) — Dancing with the Stars finally returns Monday night for its enthralling 29th season. 

Normally, the big news would be focused on the array of famous faces signed on to compete for the upcoming season, such as AJ McLean, Carole Baskin, Nelly — or even new host Tyra Banks.  However, the attention this year is on the biggest challenge DWTS is facing in show history– the COVID-19 pandemic.

New host Banks sat down with ABC Audio to explain how the long-running dancing competition is completely prepared to ensure everyone’s health and safety, which called for big changes and sacrifices.

“There’s not going to be an audience. So that’s a huge difference,” the 46-year-old supermodel relayed.  However, she says the married professional dancers face the biggest challenge because “they will have to live separately for the entire duration of the show” until both are no longer competing.

That’s not all that DWTS is doing to ensure no one contracts COVID-19, which Banks says has been intense.

“The amount of testing, the amount of safety, the police of like, ‘No, you guys are too close.’ The masks, the face shields, the pattern of how you’re supposed to walk…It was pretty impressive,” enlightened Banks. “I had never seen anything like that in my life.”

2020 has certainly challenged every profession, including television, which is why Banks says she finds the extensive preparations on DWTS so fascinating.

Even more impressive, she says there’s a plan for everything — even if one of the competitors, pro dancers or judges contract the novel coronavirus.

“There are things set up for, of course, if somebody tests positive…including me!,” she exclaimed. “The show must go on. The show will definitely go on.”

Dancing with the Stars premieres Monday at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

Wonder Woman 1984 will now debut in theaters on December 25. This marks the fourth time the film has gotten a new release date. It was originally scheduled for release on June 5, but was pushed to August 4 in light of the pandemic.

It was then moved to October 2, with Warner Bros. announcing today that it will now be in theaters on Christmas Day.

Wonder Woman 1984 is the sequel to Wonder Woman and sees the return of Gal Gadot as the title superhero, this time facing off against villains Maxwell Lord and Cheetah, portrayed by Pedro Pascal and Kristen Wiig, respectively. 

“First and foremost let me say how much Gal and I love all our devoted Wonder Woman fans around the world, and your excitement for ‘WW84’ couldn’t make us happier or more eager for you to see the movie,” director Patty Jenkins says in a statement to Variety. 

“Because I know how important it is to bring this movie to you on a big screen when all of us can share the experience together, I’m hopeful you won’t mind waiting just a little bit longer,” she continues. “With the new date on Christmas Day, we can’t wait to spend the holidays with you!” 

Wonder Woman made a whopping $400 million at the box office in North America following its release in 2017.

Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for dcp(NEW YORK) — After initially hinting about the project, Madonna has confirmed that a movie about her life and career is in the works. 

During an hour-long Instagram Live session on Thursday night, Madonna offered insight into several details of her storied career that will be included in the film, which she’s been writing during quarantine along with Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody. 

The movie will hone in on her “struggle as an artist trying to survive in a man’s world as a woman,” Madonna explains, according to Entertainment Weekly, along with her journey that she describes as “happy, sad, mad, crazy, good, bad, and ugly.”

Some of the major career moments featured in the film are her days as an up-and-coming artist in New York City, writing “Like a Prayer” with Pat Leonard and losing a sponsorship with Pepsi after the song’s controversial video was released, and working with “Vogue” video choreographers Jose Gutierez Xtravaganza and Luis Xtravaganza.

The biopic will also cover Madonna’s experience on the set of Evita, the 1996 movie musical in which she starred as the lead role of Eva Peron.

So far, Cody and Madonna have written more than 100 pages of the screenplay and expect the film to have a two-hour run time, EW reports.
