Winona Ryder revealed she once had a “nice” stalker who consistently appeared as an extra in her movies. When the actress became alarmed and informed the director, he told her the stalker had now moved on to Alyssa Milano.

The Stranger Things star found the situation “really creepy,” as she explained to New York magazine: “Yeah. I did. I had a few. One was really nice. He kept showing up as an extra on movies, and you don’t know. You have to be careful.

So I told the director, because he was kinda creepy. And I got this letter in my trailer the next day that was like, ‘I was just trying to get work as an extra! Just so you know, I’m not even obsessed with you anymore, I’m obsessed with Alyssa Milano now!’ So he kind of left me for Alyssa Milano.”

Ryder also revealed she has been insulted and intimidated by fans in the past, giving her more reasons to be alert.

She explained: “I’ve been called a **** to my face by someone who was just saying they were a fan. I was with my parents having dinner. It was actually kind of upsetting, because it upset my parents, and then I got upset.

You know that scene in ‘The King of Comedy’ where Jerry Lewis is at a pay phone? ‘Will you sign the thing, will you sign the thing?’ ‘I hope you get cancer!”

The 44-year-old actress also feels thankful about not having a social media presence, as it saves her the struggles of online abuse and critique.

She said: “I’m not on social media. I don’t actually know how to use it. And I hear that awful people could then… I say that, and it makes me sound too sensitive,” Ryder stated.

As Sheryl Crow celebrates 10 years since winning her battle against breast cancer, she is sympathetic about Shannen Doherty’s decision to open up about her struggles.

Crow said during a BlogHer conference: “I think that [talking about cancer] takes the fear out of it. I mean, it is a scary thing, but one of the problems we have with breast cancer in general is getting women to go and get a mammography. A lot of us who are moms are too busy, or we don’t really want to know. I think a lot of women really kind of don’t want to know. In some instances, we’re poorly insured or uninsured. And until we find a cure, early detection is our cure. The statistic of the cure rate at five years is 100 percent if it’s detected early.”

The 54-year-old singer also acknowledged how times have changed as people have more liberty to speak about such sensitive conditions.

“So I love women who are coming out and saying, ‘This is what I’ve done. I’ve been proactive and I’m celebrating my life. It’s just really hard to imagine that 30 years ago, no one had spoken about having breast cancer until Betty Ford. When she came out and announced [she had it], it was very taboo and shocking,” she shared.

The Soak Up the Sun hitmaker says her diagnosis made her realize what was important in life, adding: “My diagnosis was a real game changer. At that point, I was 44, and I was the picture of great health. I’ve had a lot of people say, ‘Yeah, these things help you redefine your life,’ but for me, I really refined my life. I began to really hack away at the things that were not important anymore and the things that were energy sucking. I learned how to say no.”

Gisele Bundchen made a special appearance during the Olympic Games’ opening ceremonies in Brazil. The supermodel tried not to cry during the event as she felt deeply proud about her country.

She told Access Hollywood: “Believe me, I was very emotional – I was really breathing very deeply not to cry. Imagine if I walked on the runway crying! My country, I feel, it’s about happiness and joy. The Brazilian people are so welcoming and loving, and I can’t walk crying – what kind of representation is that?! So I just tried to relax as much as I could.”

The 36-year-old model was honored to represent Brazil, which is hosting the 2016 summer Olympics.

She continued to say: “I was just so proud of being there. I was proud for Brazil, I was proud for our people. I mean, so many different names, so many people who have worked so hard to make such a beautiful celebration. I really think Brazilians, we have this simplicity about us, it’s so beautiful because it showed.”

Proud mother of two and wife to football superstar Tom Brady, Bundchen felt the ceremony was well-planned and properly represented Brazil.

“I think they did such a wonderful job in showing Brazil’s history and essence and all the different colors and Brazil’s music. The most beautiful thing about Brazil that I always find that is so unlike any other place I’ve been in the world is the diversity of its people. … It’s so special and I think they did such a wonderful job showing that. I couldn’t be more proud to be a part of it,” she stated.

Selena Gomez revealed she would like to date a “low-key” actor, producer, or writer but says those types are usually intimidated by her.

The 24-year-old singer, who was previously with Justin Bieber, told Australia’s Vogue magazine: “I think people would think it’s kind of dumb [to date me]. Nobody would want to throw themselves into that situation where it was so heightened publicly, like, why would they?

[I’d like a] low-key actor, writer or producer but those kind of guys are terrified of me!”

Meanwhile, Gomez had previously claimed she was done with Bieber but remains on friendly terms and cares about his well-being.

“At first I didn’t care. To me it was: I’m 18, I have a boyfriend, we look cute together, we like that. Then I got my heart broken and I cared. Because people had no idea what was going on, but everywhere it was a million different things. I was kind of in a corner, banging my head against the wall. I didn’t know where to go.

I’m so exhausted [by the constant references to him]. I honestly am so done. I care about his health and well-being. But I can’t do it anymore.”

The artist also has problems with the possibility that someone might “Google her” prior to going out and dating.

She shared: “I hate it. It’s hard and I’m weirded out by the idea that a guy has googled me before we meet, and that has happened. I feel like I look 16 sometimes, which is a bummer because I would love to date older guys.”

Jennifer Grey admitted she turned down a role in ABC’s Dirty Dancing television remake, citing that it didn’t feel appropriate. The actress starred in the original 1987 flick alongside the late Patrick Swayze.

She revealed to The Hollywood Reporter: “I was asked to do something on that show and I was flattered because I always want to be asked because it’s nice to want to be included. But for me, it would be sacrosanct for me to do it because it didn’t feel appropriate to me. It feels like if you’re going to do your own thing, do your own thing. I wouldn’t say [what role was offered] but I will tell you, it wasn’t Baby!”

20-year-old Abigail Breslin will take the role of Baby in the new movie, and Grey says she looks forward to seeing how this new version turns out.

“I am always interested in any iteration of something where they feel there’s more to be gotten and I would love to see what it is that they come up with.

I think they’ve got wonderful actors in it. I’m going to be watching it and I’m excited. My only advice is to own it for yourself because we all just do our interpretation and I’m only flattered and excited for people who are excited enough to put their stamp on it and see what they make of it and how they make it their own,” Grey stated.

The actress also took the time to acknowledge her late co-star, who died in 2009 at the age of 57.

She added: “He was really strong and he was very protective and his heart was very much in it. He was a great dancer and he was fearless. His fearlessness with my fearfulness – like his lack of Jewishness and my super Jewishness – together was like a marriage where you have two opposites. He’d do anything and I’d be scared to do anything.”

Howie Mandel made light of Calvin Harris’ breakup with Taylor Swift during a formal introduction at the Caesar’s Palace 50th anniversary gala in Las Vegas this weekend.

As Harris was to be presented with the Future Icon, Mandel joked by saying: “That’s a nice suit. Who’s your tailor? See what I did?”

Harris knew it was all in good fun, replying: “You got that prepared, you had that one ready.”

The two split earlier this year and have consistently made headlines due to Swift’s ability to quickly move on to a new partner – this time being Tom Hiddleston.

Although the breakup was initially on friendly terms, Harris then accused the 26-year-old singer of trying to tear him down.

The DJ said via Twitter: “Hurtful to me at this point that her and her team would go so far out of their way to try and make ME look bad at this stage though.”

As well as: “I figure if you’re happy in your new relationship you should focus on that instead of trying to tear your ex bf down for something to do.”

“I know you’re off tour and you need someone new to try and bury like Katy ETC but I’m not that guy, sorry. I won’t allow it.”

Swift’s representative even confirmed that she had penned his song, This is What You Came For, adding: “Taylor Swift wrote ‘This Is What You Came For‘ under the pseudonym Nils Sjoberg.”

Harris enlisted Rihanna to record the vocals as he and Swift feared their ongoing relationship would overshadow the impact of said track.
