This sounds like damage control!
Matt Damon and George Clooney appeared on GMA this morning to promote their new film Suburbicon, but talk inevitably turned to the Harvey Weinstein scandal. Damon admitted his pal Ben Affleck told him about then-girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow's sexual harassment by the studio boss, but both actors didn't realize the severity of the problem.
“I knew the story about Gwyneth from Ben because he was with her after [her relationship with] Brad [Pitt]. I never talked to Gwyneth about it. Ben told me. But I knew that they had come to whatever agreement or understanding that they had come to. She had handled it, and she was the first lady of Miramax. And he treated her incredibly respectfully, always," Damon told host Michael Strahan.
"When people say, ‘Everybody knew,’ like yeah, I knew he was an a–hole. He was proud of that. That’s how he carried himself. I knew he was a womanizer. You know, I wouldn’t want to be married to the guy. But that’s not my business really. This level of criminal sexual predation was not something I ever thought was going on," he added.
Clooney then added that he's talked to his wife Amal about her experiences with sexual harassment in the workplace.
"She could find in her line of work … there have been plenty of instances where some guy has tried to make their move. Many, if not most, women have at some point in their life faced this kind of behavior. I think that’s a little bit of a surprise to some of us. That it’s this big. Maybe that’s something else that’s good that comes out of this, is that … we’re going to have these discussions. We’re going to have this conversation. And again we’re going to make it harder for it to happen," the Ocean's Eleven actor explained.

You know she probably wishes she had gone to Miami!
Kanye whisked Kim away to the swanky Amangiri resort in the Utah desert for her birthday this past weekend, and the reality star couldn't resist showing off what 37-years-old looks like in a teeny black bikini.
She's probably so happy she doesn't have to be pregnant this time around, and can just wait till January when her surrogate gives birth to their third child. The E! starlet won't need to snap her bod back into shape, unlike her pregnant sisters Kylie and Khloe.
It seems Kimye's relationship is on the mend after their rough year, and rumor has it they employed a "spiritual counselor" to make that happen.
"Before Kim and Kanye started seeing a spiritual counsellor, she was seriously debating whether the relationship could work .Some members of Kim's family knew about the counsellor and encouraged it. But Kim really had to convince Kanye to go," Ian Halperin, the man behind the tell-all book Kardashian Dynasty: The Controversial Rise Of America's Royal Family, told Heat magazine.
This marriage has lasted way longer than her other ones!

The jig is up, you two!
David Foster and Katharine McPhee have downplayed those persistent dating rumors by claiming they're "just friends," but we caught them kissing at the ATM after a romantic dinner at Toscana in Brentwood last night. It certainly seems like they're a couple to us!
The 67-year-old music producer and the 33-year-old singer were linked just a few months ago, around the same time he was quietly seeing supermodel Christie Brinkley. This guy likes to play the field!
The American Idol alum doesn't really seem like his type, though, because he's got a thing for blondes. That said, he's totally her type! She has a thing for older dudes, and was previously married to a guy almost 15 years her senior.
Foster's daughter Erin got tongues wagging by calling McPhee her "stepmom" on Instagram and then claimed she was joking, but could that actually be happening? She's wearing a ring on her wedding finger, and we all know David likes to move fast! He's never single for long!

Whoa! What the hell is Justin doing to his body?!
Well, some Beliebers like it, but others are freaking out -- in a bad way -- over Justin Bieber's new HUGE chest tattoo that he debuted on Instagram Saturday.
Some reports claim Justin has more than 60 tattoos -- he even has that tiny cross on his face. His chest used to be a massive "Son of God" ink and now that seems to have been incorporated into this new art and we can't even figure out what it is! Weigh in with your thoughts in the comments ...

No wonder they have so much hired muscle!
Kim and Kanye's Bel Air mansion was hit by burglars last night, who broke into one of their staff's cars and stole a cell phone. The two suspects also ransacked two other vehicles on the property before fleeing, when the couple's security team chased them off with loaded guns. They were caught on surveillance footage, but as of now they haven't been apprehended.
"A witness observed a suspect enter and exit the victim’s vehicle and then flee the location. A second suspect who was hiding in some bushes also fled the location. Suspect No. 1 took personal items from the victim’s vehicle," an LAPD PIO told Us Weekly.
They weren't done, though!
They went next door to Kathy Griffin's house, smashed in the windows of her car, and stole a purse. The thefts happened just one day after $50K worth of purses and sunglasses were stolen from Mariah Carey's LA pad, but it's unclear whether the crimes are related.
This comes exactly one year after Kimmy K was robbed at gunpoint in Paris. Their lavish lifestyle makes them a giant target for this kind of stuff!

You be the judge!
Taylor Swift dropped her new song "Gorgeous" at midnight today, and now everyone is trying to figure out if the tune is about boyfriend Joe Alwyn or ex Tom Hiddleston. Based on the lyrics, it could kind of go both ways!
"You should take it as a compliment / That I got drunk and made fun of the way you talk," she sings in one verse. It's an obvious reference to an accent, but both Alwyn and Hiddleston are British, so that doesn't help to decode the mystery. "Ocean blue eyes, looking in mine," she croons in another part. Again, this applies to both hunks, so we can't come to any conclusions.
The biggest clue seems to be her hint at the timeline of the secret romance.
"And I got a boyfriend, he’s older than us / He’s in the club doing I don’t know what," one line goes. We think it's pretty clear that she's referring to ex Calvin Harris. Rumor has it T-Swizz and the Night Manager actor sparked a flirtation at the Met Gala, while she was still dating the Scottish DJ, and went on to become a couple shortly afterwards.
A fan that attended her Reputation listening party swears that TS made it very clear "Gorgeous" was about her current beau.
"Basically Taylor made us all promise that if anyone made any accusations of who this song is about, we tell them it is 100% about her angel boyfriend of 1 year. (this isn't a secret, she wanted us to tell people,)" the fan wrote on Twitter.
Forget all this, can we talk about how bad her new music has been?!

She should really keep her opinion to herself.
Jenna Jameson caused quite the controversy by hopping on Twitter and criticizing Playboy for featuring transgender model Ines Rau in their latest issue, but she's not backing down from her stance.
"So @playboy just announced it will be featuring its first transgender playmate. I have a problem with it just like I have a problem with a transgender competing against biological women in sports. And women and men are two different things. see what I did there?" she wrote in a series of tweets.
"Just because I don't agree with a trans person being in Playboy doesn't mean I'm "transphobic." People these days with all their "phobics.' Because I think it's setting fire to an iconic brand and pandering to this ridiculous PC world we live in ðŸ‘ðŸ»," she continued.
"Just because Miss USA won't let me compete (because I'm an ex pornstar) doesn't mean they don't love me 👌ðŸ»I love my gay and trans peeps. I am certainly not back pedaling... I don't think trans belong in Playboy. Period," she added.

This is shocking! He seems so squeaky clean!
Ed Sheeran opened up about his private battle with substance abuse during an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, and he credited his girlfriend and his music career for getting him back on track.
"I think you need to, when you get into the industry, adjust to it — and I didn’t adjust because I was constantly working on tour. And all the pitfalls that people read about, I just found myself slipping into all of them. Mostly, like, substance abuse. I never touched anything. I started slipping into it, and that’s why I took a year off and buggered off," he confessed.
"I focused on work, and I can’t work under the influence, I can’t write songs under the influence, I can’t perform under the influence — so the more I worked the less [that happened]. I’ve worked my whole life to get to where I am and you can’t lose that over something that you do in your spare time. I didn’t really notice it was happening. It just started gradually happening, and then some people took me to one side and were like, ‘Calm yourself down’… It’s all fun to begin with, it all starts off as a party and then you’re doing it on your own and it’s not, so that was a wake-up call and taking a year off,†he added.
As for his relationship with lady love Cherry Seaborn?
"We live together now, and I think that was a real help grounding me. I was a 25 year old in the music industry on tour so I just needed someone to balance me out," he gushed.
