Welcome to The Entertainment Edit, a weekly recap keeping you up to date with the best, worst and most shocking entertainment stories of the week.
Hollywood, Hollywood, Hollywood, there’s never a dull moment.
This week brought the continuation of Gwyneth Paltrow’s ski accident trial and it’s almost more popular than Johnny Depp’s defamation trial against Amber Heard last year. Between viral memes, the mystery of a missing Go-Pro and the burden of fame, the trial has almost become more popular than any of Paltrow’s films and the jury came back mere hours ago announcing Paltrow was not at fault. They ordered Terry Sanderson to pay the star $1.
Elsewhere Kiwi actress Melanie Lynskey began promoting the new season of her HBO show Yellowjackets, but it was her shout-out to a particular New Zealand food that caught the attention of the nation.
And in the world of TV shows, Succession returned for its fourth and final season with its opening credits raising some questions with fans, Married At First Sightis about to enter its last week and Marvel star Jeremy Renner is about to make his first public appearance since his New Years Day accident to promote his new Disney + show, Rennervations.
Here’s what you might have missed this week:

Emily Ratajkowski is in her headline era this week; unfortunately, it’s not all good news.
She kicked off the week in a steamy make-out session with the one and only Harry Styles and while fans were torn about whether they loved or hated the potential new It couple, one person knew exactly what side she was on.
Sources close to Olivia Wilde revealed the director feels “betrayed” by the pash as she previously dated Styles and had formed a friendship with Ratajkowski in recent years.
Meanwhile, the model’s ex also made headlines this week after he was accused of sexual misconduct after a woman came forward claiming he groomed her via Instagram before sleeping with her.

Reese Witherspoon and her husband Jim Toth appeared to be a happy couple until this week when they announced their separation.
The couple, due to celebrate their 12th wedding anniversary, wrote in a joint statement they had “enjoyed so many wonderful years together” but had ultimately made the “difficult decision” to file for divorce.
But despite coming as a surprise to fans, many sources have since come forward with new details including the bombshell claim that the separation didn’t come as a shock as the couple – who share 10-year-old son Tennessee together – had started the process years earlier by quietly liquidating their assets.

The Jurassic Park star has revealed that he will never forgive his parents for calling him Nigel and says changing his name at the age of 11 was the “best decision” of his life.
Born Nigel John Dermot Neill in Northern Ireland before the family moved to New Zealand when he was 7, the actor wrote in his book, “The one thing I resent about my parents, the only thing, is that they called me Nigel. Changing my name to Sam at the age of 11 was probably the best decision I made in my life.”
