Ariana DeBose seems to have buried the hatchet with Bella Ramsey -- who made a joke at her expense the night prior ... but all looks to be well now if this photo is any indication.

The two actresses were once again on hand Monday night for the Emmys -- this after attending the Critics Choice Awards the day prior ... and with ADB ending up as a punch line during the Best Song category, when she was labeled an actor who thinks they can sing.

Of course, it was Bella herself who delivered that brutal line -- reading off of a prompter in the distance -- and a lot of people felt Ariana had been done dirty ... herself included.

Fast-forward about 24 hours, and now you got this pic circulating online that shows Bella and Ariana hugging it out during the Emmys. There isn't too much context beyond what writer Evan Ross Katz -- who snapped this -- had to say about it in his lengthy caption.

He wrote, "Incredible! Here’s Bella Ramsey and Academy Award-winner Ariana DeBose hugging at tonight’s Emmy Awards. It’s particularly poignant because of a joke that Ramsey was fed in their teleprompter at the Critic's Choice Awards yesterday which categorized DeBose among 'Actors Who Think They Are Singers.'"

Again, we're not sure what Bella might've said to Ariana -- but it definitely feels like an apology might've been issued ... 'cause the fact is, Ariana most certainly *can* sing.

One other interesting tidbit about this whole saga ... it looks like one Hannah Waddingham -- a big-time TV actress who's done some Broadway as well -- was consoling ADB on the carpet before the show got started. There's photos of the two having a heart-to-heart outside.

Ariana DeBose parece haber enterrado el arma de guerra con Bella Ramsey, quien hizo una broma a costa de ella la noche anterior... Ahora todo parece estar bien entre ambas si nos guiamos por esta foto.

Las dos actrices se encontraron una vez más el lunes por la noche para los Emmys. Esto, después de haber asistido a los Critics Choice Awards el día anterior y de que Ariana DeBose haya terminado como un chiste mientras se presentaba la categoría de Mejor Canción, al ser catalogada por los presentadores como un actor que piensa que puede cantar.

Por supuesto, fue la propia Bella quien pronunció la brutal frase, leyendo de un apuntador a la distancia- y mucha gente sintió que Ariana había sido insultada... incluida ella misma.

Unas 24 horas después, circuló por Internet una foto en la que Bella y Ariana aparecían abrazándose en los Emmy. No hay mucho contexto más allá de lo que el escritor Evan Ross Katz -que tomó esta foto- dijo al respecto en su pie de foto.

Él escribió: "¡Increíble! Aquí está Bella Ramsey y la ganadora del Oscar Ariana DeBose abrazándose en los premios Emmy esta noche. Es particularmente conmovedor debido a una broma que le dieron a Ramsey en su teleprompter en los Critic's Choice Awards ayer que categorizaba a DeBose entre los 'actores que se creen cantantes'".

De nuevo, no estamos seguros de lo que Bella le habrá dicho a Ariana, pero definitivamente se siente como una disculpa porque Ariana ciertamente puede cantar.

Otro dato interesante de esta saga es que parece que Hannah Waddingham, una gran actriz de televisión y que ha hecho algo de Broadway también, estaba consolando a Ariana DeBose en la alfombra antes de que comenzara el espectáculo. Hay fotos de las dos teniendo un momento muy cariñoso juntas.

Pedro Pascal continuó su divertida disputa con Kieran Culkin este lunes en los Premios Emmy, acusando hilarantemente al actor de haberlo golpeado.

La estrella de "The Last of Us" se subió al escenario usando un cabestrillo en su brazo, en la 75ª edición del evento anual, para presentar el premio al mejor actor de reparto en una serie dramática, que recayó en la estrella de "Succession" Matthew Macfadyen. Lo que ocurrió a continuación quedó grabado en video.

De pie ante un micrófono, Pascal le dijo a la audiencia del Teatro Peacock de Los Ángeles: "Todo el mundo me ha estado preguntando por mi brazo, pero en realidad es mi hombro. Y creo que es hora de que todo el mundo sepa que Kieran Culkin me dio una paliza".

Todo el público estalló en carcajadas, excepto Culkin, que se quedó quieto con un semblante súper serio, mientras lanzaba una dura mirada a Pascal. Aunque Culkin no pudo mantener su seriedad durante mucho tiempo y pronto empezó a reírse entre dientes como el resto de la gente, mientras el video se corta.

A principios de este mes, los dos actores iniciaron su trifulca desenfadada en la entrega de los Globos de Oro en el Beverly Hilton de Beverly Hills.

Mientras aceptaba su premio al "Mejor Actor en una Serie Dramática" por Succession, de HBO, Culkin se burló juguetonamente de Pascal, diciéndole "chúpalo, Pedro". Pascal había sido nominado en la misma categoría por su papel en otra serie de HBO, "The Last of Us".

Por cierto, Pascal le dijo a Associated Press en los Globos de Oro que se lesionó el brazo durante una caída.

Pedro Pascal kept his funny feud going with Kieran Culkin at Monday's Emmy Awards, hilariously accusing the actor of beating "the s**t out of me."

"The Last of Us" star strolled out onstage with his arm in a sling at the 75th annual event to present the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series to "Succession" star Matthew Macfadyen. What happened next was all caught on video.

Standing at a microphone, Pascal told the star-studded audience in L.A.'s Peacock Theater, "Everyone’s been asking about my arm, but it’s actually my shoulder. And I think it’s time to let everyone know that Kieran Culkin beat the s— out of me.”

The whole crowd burst out in laughter, except Culkin, who sat with a serious look, while shooting a hard stare at Pascal. But, Culkin couldn't keep a straight face for very long and soon began chuckling with the other people, as the video cuts off.

Earlier this month, the two actors launched their light-hearted squabble at the Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills.

While accepting the trophy for "Best Actor In A Drama Series" for HBO's Succession, Culkin took a playful jab at Pascal, telling him to "suck it." Pascal had been nominated in the same category for his role in another popular HBO series, "The Last of Us."

By the way, Pascal told the Associated Press at the Golden Globes that he injured his arm during a fall.

Fantasia is just one of several people calling out the grub at the Critics Choice Awards -- 'cause the bagged pizza they dished out just wasn't cutting it for hungry celebs.

Here's the deal ... the food that was handed out at Sunday night's show included slices that were bagged, and prepped to be served on an individual basis. When the pizza was handed out at Fantasia's table ... cameras caught her less-than-pleased reaction.

Check it out ... as the wait staff was handing out the pizza to her "Color Purple" costars, Fantasia looked right at the photog and asked ... "Where's the lamb chops???"

You can see Taraji P. Henson and some others start to chow down right away ... but Oprah herself holds off, saying she doesn't wanna ruin her lipstick. From the looks of it, an extra box of snacks was also handed out to those in the room ... with fruits and whatnot inside.

Now, while Fantasia and co. might've been poking fun at the menu ... others were a little more straightforward in their criticism of the food, including film producer Jen D'Angelo. She posted photos of the pizza, calling it "absolutely revolting" and "3D printed."

Even Paul Giamatti remarked about the food during his acceptance speech, saying ... "Serious guys, I need that endorsement. So let’s all just pray for me,” Giamatti continued. “Everybody get their pizza in a bag, by the way? I think that’d be a good endorsement. Paul Giamatti for pizza in a bag."

For the record, Baja Fresh and Cold Stone were the official food vendors for this thing -- but it appears their chow was served either before or after the show ... and not inside the venue itself. Baja and CS aren't known for pizza, so it's unclear who baked the pies.

Ariana DeBose got lumped in with actors who became songbirds in their movies this past year -- a joke cracked at the Critics Choice Awards ... which she didn't appreciate one bit.

The Oscar winner was on hand Sunday night at the latest award show in Santa Monica -- where she was up for a statuette in the Best Song category for her tune in Disney's "Wish" ... alongside others in films like "Barbie," "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" and "Rustin."

Before they announced the winners, presenters Bella Ramsey and Anthony Ramos made a crack about some of the stars in the group ... labeling them "actors who think that they're singers," name-dropping Ryan Gosling, Jack Black and, surprisingly, Ariana herself.

The camera cut to her face right at that moment, and she looked fairly confused/insulted.

Welp, as it turns out ... that's exactly how she felt inside -- 'cause she later took to IG to express the sentiment that we all saw on her face ... writing, "I Didn't Find It Funny Lol."

While you could argue the crack was in good fun, fans jumped to her defense to point out it was technically inaccurate -- 'cause ADB most certainly *can* sing ... and does so flawlessly. Not only has she received accolades for her musical performances on camera, but she's a star on Broadway as well -- so to compare to the likes of JB and Gosling does seem off.

Sounds like one of the CCA script writers just might not like her ... that's the vibe anyway.

Ariana DeBose fue agrupada con los actores que se convirtieron en pájaros cantores en sus películas el año pasado... una broma en los Critics Choice Awards que ella no apreció ni un poco.

La ganadora del Oscar estuvo presente el domingo por la noche en la última entrega de premios en Santa Mónica, donde era candidata a una estatuilla en la categoría de Mejor Canción por su melodía en "Wish" de Disney, junto a otros en películas como "Barbie", "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" y "Rustin".

Antes de anunciar a los ganadores, los presentadores Bella Ramsey y Anthony Ramos hicieron un chiste sobre algunas de las estrellas del grupo, etiquetándolos como "actores que piensan que son cantantes", nombrando a Ryan Gosling, Jack Black y sorprendentemente a la propia Ariana.

La cámara se enfocó en su cara justo en ese momento y parecía bastante ofendida.

Bueno, resulta que eso es exactamente lo que sentía por dentro, porque más tarde acudió a Insta para expresar el sentimiento que todos vimos en su cara escribiendo: "No me pareció gracioso Lol".

Si bien se podría argumentar que el crack era en broma, los fans saltaron en su defensa para señalar que era técnicamente inexacta, porque Ariana sin duda puede cantar y lo hace de manera impecable. No solo ha recibido elogios por sus actuaciones musicales en cámara, además es una estrella en Broadway, así que las comparaciones con Black y Gosling parecen fuera de lugar.

Chelsea Handler couldn't resist taking a dig at her ex-boyfriend Jo Koy during Sunday's Critics Choice Awards in L.A. for his much-criticized Golden Globes performance.

Chelsea was hosting the CCA event onstage at the Santa Monica Airport's Barker Hangar last evening when she gave Jo a shot as she served up jokes during her opening monologue.

The comedian set it up like this ... "Unfortunately, Martin Scorsese isn’t here tonight, but that’s not going to stop me from letting everyone in this room know that I would toss him around like a little Italian meatball." The crowd chuckled.

Then Chelsea hit the punch line ... "Thank you for laughing at that. My writers wrote it."

Ouch, Jo! That must have hurt, especially from an ex! Jo, as you know, got roasted in the press and on social media after his jokes fell flat as host of the Golden Globe Awards earlier this month.

Jo's wisecracks about the film, "Barbie," were met with groans and, when he poked fun at Taylor Swift, she shot him an icy look.

Sensing he was going down in flames, Jo tried to blame his writers for his bad jokes, telling the GG audience, “Some [jokes] I wrote, some other people wrote. Yes, I got the gig 10 days ago! You want a perfect monologue? Yo, shut up. You’re kidding me, right?”

He added, “Slow down, I wrote some of these and they are the ones you are laughing at.”

Last week, Jo tried to clean up his remarks during an LA Times interview, admitting it was a "rookie move" to fault his writers.

Now we'll have to see if Jo responds to Chelsea's jab.

Jo Koy is still reflecting on his poorly-received Golden Globes hosting gig -- calling the star-studded crowd a bunch of softies ... this as he gets back to regular routine.

Variety sent one of their reporters to St. Louis Friday -- where Jo was scheduled to perform ... marking his first regular stand-up set since the big show. According to the outlet, he immediately dove into the topic after arriving late due to bad weather.

He got a warm welcome from the crowd, and Jo reportedly said ... "Holy s***, right? This big hug that you gave me is all I need, swear to god. F***ing whirlwind, goddamn."

JK then went on to trash the Globes audience -- which, BTW, were nothing but a bunch of celebs/industry people -- by saying this ... "Lot a marshmallows, man. They’re delicious, but goddamn, they’re soft. I just come from a different time. I see the changes that are happening. I get it, but goddamn, can we f***ing laugh at ourselves?"

Variety says the crowd on hand for Jo last night ate all this up ... cheering him on and one person even apparently yelling "F*** 'em!" in support of Jo.

Jo then reportedly said this about the GG broadcast ... "Koy said, 'I got a feeling none of you motherf***ers watched it, and I’m kinda happy. Oh my god. It feels good to live in this country. We get to say what we want to say. Don’t be apologetic about it at all. Be able to…speak your mind.'"

Like we mentioned ... Jo's opening monologue got torn to shreds on a number of different fronts -- with many accusing him of sexism/misogyny ... and just terrible material generally.

Jo Koy sigue reflexionando sobre su mal recibida presentación en los Golden Globes, ahora llamando a la multitud de esa noche como un montón de blandengues, mientras regresa a sus rutinas habituales.

Variety envió a uno de sus reporteros a St. Louis el viernes, donde Jo tenía programada una actuación, la primera desde el gran espectáculo. De acuerdo con el medio, el comediante de inmediato se sumergió en el tema después de llegar tarde debido al mal tiempo.

Recibió una cálida bienvenida de la multitud, y según los informes, dijo: "Holy s***, ¿verdad? Este gran abrazo que me dieron es todo lo que necesito, lo juro por Dios".

Luego Jo Koy criticó a la audiencia de los Globos de Oro, que, por cierto, no eran más que un montón de celebridades y gente de la industria, diciendo esto: "Muchos marshmallows", hombre. Son deliciosos, pero maldita sea, son blandos. Vengo de una época diferente. Veo los cambios que están sucediendo. Lo entiendo, pero maldita sea, ¿podemos reírnos de nosotros mismos?".

Variety dice que la multitud presente se bancó todo su discurso, lo animaron y una persona incluso le habría gritado "F*** 'em!" (que se jodan) en apoyo a Jo.

Jo dijo lo siguiente sobre la emisión de los Globos de Oro: "Tengo la sensación de que ninguno de ustedes los vio y estoy un poco feliz. Dios mío. Me siento bien viviendo en este país. Podemos decir lo que queremos decir. No hay que disculparse por ello. Tenemos que ser capaces de... decir lo que piensas'".

Como hemos mencionado, el monólogo de apertura de Jo se hizo pedazos en diferentes frentes y muchos lo acusaron de sexismo, misoginia y un material terrible en general.

Kevin Hart dice que nunca lo verán abriendo la ceremonia de los Oscar como anfitrión, porque mientras le va bien haciendo sus rutinas de standup para arenas llenas y estadios, dice que un teatro lleno de estrellas es una audiencia difícil para los comediantes.

Han pasado 5 años desde que Kevin renunció a la actuación después de que salieran a la luz viejos tweets homofóbicos, pero no es por eso que está dando este consejo. Más bien, se está refiriendo a algo que Jo Koy podría haber aprendido de la forma más difícil.

Kevin dice a Sky News que los Oscar lo hicieron bien un año -el 2019, el año en que se echó para atrás- al usar a un grupo de personalidades para co-presentar la ceremonia durante toda la noche, pero no han vuelto a esa fórmula.

Él admite que tendría una ventaja como anfitrión de galas de premios, porque tiene relaciones con varios de los invitados. Pero dice que para otros es una molestia.

Básicamente, dice que los días de los comediantes como anfitriones de los premios, al menos cómodamente, han terminado. Jo Koy podría estar de acuerdo con eso después de que sus chistes sobre Taylor Swift y las "grandes tetas" de Barbie no cayeran nada bien en los Globos de Oro.

Kevin estaba apoyando a Koy, sin embargo, y dijo que ahora hay demasiada presión en lo que se considera una broma y lo que no.

Jimmy Kimmel vuelve por cuarta vez a los Oscar este año. Él ha sido relativamente suave hasta ahora, así que vamos a estar atentos a su nuevo repertorio de chistes.

Por cierto, tenemos otro gran comediante para opinar sobre el manejo de Jo, a saber, Anthony Anderson y parece concordar con Kev en lo difícil que es actuar en unos premios.

Kevin Hart says you won't ever see him opening up the Oscars as the host, because while he's fine doing standup in packed arenas and stadiums -- he says a theater full of A-listers is a tough room for comedians.

It's been 5 years since Kevin stepped down from the gig after old homophobic tweets surfaced, but that's not why he's advising other comics against the job ... instead, he's referring to something Jo Koy might've learned the hard way.

Kevin tells Sky News the Oscars got it right one year -- 2019, the year he backed out -- by using a bunch of personalities to cohost the ceremony throughout the evening, but they haven't gone back to that formula.

He admits he'd have an advantage hosting award shows, because he has so many established relationships with the guests -- but he says for others, it's a grind.

Basically, he says the days of comics hosting award shows, at least comfortably, are over Jo Koy might agree with that after his jokes about Taylor Swift and Barbie's "big boobs" bombed at the Golden Globes.

Kevin had Koy's back, though ... saying there's too much pressure now on what's considered jokes and what's not.

Jimmy Kimmel's returning for his fourth stint at the Oscars this year ... he's been relatively tame so far, so we'll be watching to see how his fresh batch of jokes go over.

BTW, we got another big-time comedian to weigh in on Jo's handling of the job -- namely, Anthony Anderson ... and he seems to be in alignment with Kev here on how tough of a gig these types of award shows are.

As he told us at LAX this week ... you get with your writers and do the best you can with the amount of time you're given. In Jo's case, he says he had about a week before showtime. Noted!

Amy Sedaris ended up on the floor at the National Board of Review Awards Gala, but the actress/comedian did what she does best ... and turned the fall into some comedic gold.

Amy was at the NYC event Thursday night, presenting Paul Giamatti with the award for Best Actor for his work in "The Holdovers" -- but the excitement turned into a bit of panic when she took a tumble while walking away from the podium.

Paul quickly rushed over to help the "Elf" actress, but it must not have hurt too bad, at least at the moment ... because she jokingly stayed flat on the floor while Paul returned to his speech, getting a big laugh from the star-studded crowd.

The NBR's Instagram page even poked light-hearted fun at Amy's fall -- sharing another angle of her on the floor next to Paul, writing, "Paul Giamatti literally floored presenter Amy Sedaris with his nuanced comic performance." Well played, NBR.

As for the wins, Lily Gladstone and Martin Scorsese took home Best Actress and Best Director awards for "Killers of the Flower Moon," Mark Ruffalo won Best Supporting Actor for "Poor Things," Bradley Cooper was bestowed the NBR Icon award, and Paul's costar Da'Vine Joy Randolph went home with the Best Supporting Actress award.

Other big names in attendance were Michael J. Fox, Zac Efron, Elizabeth Olsen, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Ethan Hawke, Daniel Day-Lewis and many more.

The late, great George Carlin has a new comedy special out -- thanks to the use of AI technology ... but one person who is up in arms about it is his daughter, Kelly.

The producer/screenwriter dished her thoughts on this new AI special, "George Carlin: I'm Glad I'm Dead," that's making the rounds right now ... in which a fake George Carlin -- recreated through an AI program -- cranked out new jokes ... in the vein of the real McCoy.

It sure sounds like GC, and the delivery is the same too -- as are the topics he famously touched on -- like religion, and some new material on Elon Musk, streaming, and more.

Kelly responded, laying it all out there in a statement, saying, "My dad spent a lifetime perfecting his craft from his very human life, brain and imagination. No machine will ever replace his genius."

She says artificial intelligence products are "clever attempts at trying to recreate a mind that will never exist again" -- adding the whole thing "stepped over a line."

Kelly urges folks to let the artist's work speak for itself ... reminding fans that the real George Carlin has 14 specials that are available everywhere -- if ya wanna listen to the actual material.

The bizarre standup set was made as part of the Podcast, Dudesy -- hosted by Will Sasso and Chad Kultgen -- and folks online have been siding with Kelly, thinking the whole thing is just weird.

And we'll say ... however close AI will get to the real thing, it'll never top the perfection that George brought to the stage for decades. Kelly has a point -- this is close, but no cigar.

Robert Downey Jr.'s joking about Robert De Niro's reaction to RDJ's win at the Golden Globes and hooking us up with a great soundbite -- even just for the sake of being glib.

We got the "Oppenheimer" star Wednesday outside "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and our photog asked him about De Niro mistakenly standing up when the winner for Best Supporting Actor was being read. It was a quick little mix-up on Bob's part -- but people definitely noticed.

In case you missed it ... RDJ and RDN were both up for the same award -- Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture -- which went to "Robert ... Downey Jr." When De Niro heard "Robert" though, he started to stir in his seat ... almost as if he'd won ... only to be let down when a different last name followed.

RDJ's having fun with it all here, telling us ... "Nothing's better than losing."  Mind you, he was doing this in the middle of signing autographs and shooting the s*** a bit.

He's joking, of course, and the reason we know that is because we asked what he meant -- with Downey Jr. adding ... "I just wanted to give you a good quote." Indeed, it was!

Looks like RDJ's still in good spirits after the big win for his role as Lewis Strauss in "Oppenheimer" ... he didn't just bless us, but he also gave autograph hounds what they wanted too. He also walked away with a big fat peace sign for the whole gang.

La ex esposa de Kevin Hart —Torrei Hart— dice que no hay ninguna pelea entre su ex novio y Katt Williams, esto después de afirmar que saldría de gira con Katt después de unas palabras poco amables.

Torrei aclaró las cosas cuando la encontramos saliendo de la Hollywood Improv el martes por la noche, cerrando los rumores de mala sangre señalando que Kev es muy pacífico, tal como él mismo nos dijo más temprano el mismo día.

Es más, Torrei está segura de que no la sumaron a la gira de tres noches de Katt como una indirecta hacia Kevin, porque ella y Katt han estado cerca desde hace dos décadas, así que no puede haber sido una contratación al azar.

Recordemos que Kevin y Torrei se divorciaron en 2011, pero ella dice que todavía están muy unidos e incluso está dispuesta a hacer algunas giras con él, ¡aunque él tendría que hacer el trabajo pesado!

Como informamos, Kevin nos dio la misma vibra positiva en Nueva York el martes, mostrandole su apoyo a los dos y la mejor de las suertes en sus shows. Las palabras de Kevin se hicieron eco de Torrei aquí, es decir, todo es amor y paz entre el y Katt.

Kevin podría haber opinado bastante diferente teniendo en cuenta la bofetada que Katt le dio con sus dichos, diciendo en el pódcast de Shannon Sharpe que el comediante es solo una "planta" de la industria, entre otros insultos.

Kevin respondió a Katt en ese momento, diciéndole que tenía que sacar el odio de su pecho.

A menos que oigamos otra cosa de Katt sobre el asunto, parece que todo está bien entre la ex pareja, aunque hay que admitir que las circunstancias son algo sospechosas.
