She was blindsided. Sandra Bullock has been subjected to some rough reviews in the wake of disturbing new claims made by former NFL star Michael Oher, who inspired Bullock’s 2009 film, “The Blind Side.”
The 37-year-old offensive tackle alleged in court documents this week that guardians Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy never actually adopted him, but still profited from his success.
The movie was adapted from the 2006 book “The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game.” Written by Michael Lewis, it tells the story of Oher, one of thirteen children born to a drug-addicted mother, and his rise to football stardom after being taken in by the seemingly generous Tuohy family.
Some armchair commentators are rushing to judgment on social media, insisting the actress, grieving over the recent death of partner Bryan Randall, is somehow complicit in the depressing domestic dust-up. “Sandra Bullock yelled ‘run the dang ball’ a couple times and had the academy trembling on their hands and knees,” a second armchair critic sniped. “For some reason, the whole blind side was fake thing makes me just hate Sandra Bullock,” stated another online opinionista.
Why in the world would anyone blame the actress for the role? She didn't write the script. How could you get anyone to play the villain under such a regime.
There’s no lib like an old lib. Or to be more precise, there is no lib like an old, famous lib. Someone whose glory days were the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s and somehow manages to labor under the delusion that the world is desperate to hear their opinions and is fascinated with their lives. Someone like Stevie Nicks.
I know that those decades produced an incredible catalog of music and that I may be in the minority when I say I was never a fan of Fleetwood Mac. Ditto Supertramp. But that may be because I was once stuck on a six-hour road trip with someone who played “The Logical Song” the entire time. And I mean the entire time.
My biases aside, Stevie Nicks apparently forgot how to sing long enough to deliver a stunningly tone-deaf post on Twitter (sorry, Elon, I ain’t calling it X) that may have set a record for self-centered insensitivity.

“Snow White,” due out next spring, won’t cost $300 million to make and market (I don’t think), but if the early buzz is anything to go by, Disney has yet another stinker on its hands.
But if someone could be a fall guy… someone too young and inexperienced to speak in public without a script… someone like “Snow White” star Rachel Zegler. Tongues were set wagging, and not in a good way, when Zegler was cast in the role. A lovely young Latina, Zegler seems like an ill fit for a fairy tale character literally named after her snow-white skin. Worse, the Seven Dwarves — as I detailed for you last month — are now “One Dwarf and Six Painfully Diverse Magical Creatures Dressed in Garb Cast-Off from the Greater Des Moines Renaissance Faire.”

Another problem might be the banishment of Prince Charming from Snow White’s magic kingdom, something that Zegler just can’t stop talking about.
This week — and far from the first time — Zegler trashed the beloved 1937 original animated Snow White.
“I mean, you know, the original cartoon came out in 1937 and very evidently so. Um… there’s a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her! [Laughs] Weird, weird, so we didn’t do that this time.” Instead, the “modernized” character has little use for anything aside from herself, apparently.

The Princess of Wales appears to take the view that what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
After Prince William was seen dancing at the London nightclub Koko with his old mucker Guy Pelly in June, Catherine is said to have gone raving herself.
The Princess, 41, is understood to have made her first ever visit to a music festival at the weekend, albeit a very upper-class one.
She was dining with her Norfolk neighbours, the Marquess and Marchioness of Cholmondeley, David and Rose, at their Palladian stately home, Houghton Hall. At the time, the Houghton Festival was taking place on their 1,000-acre estate.
'After dinner, one of the guests suggested that Catherine go to the festival,' a source told the Daily Mail.
'Catherine was nervous about the idea, but, after much discussion with her protection officers, she went with lots of security. William wasn't there.'
Billed as Britain's only 24-hour music festival, it is the brainchild of DJ Craig Richards, who launched the event in 2017. More than 200 artists performed across 13 stages from last Thursday to Sunday with music playing somewhere on the Houghton Estate site at all times. More than 12,000 revellers were expected to attend.
Although Catherine is not known to have previously attended a festival, she does like to dance. While still plain Kate Middleton, she was pictured attending a roller-disco with friends including the jockey Sam Waley-Cohen in 2008.
A Kensington Palace spokesman declined to comment, so it's not clear why William didn't join his wife. It was the Glorious Twelfth on Saturday so the heir to the throne, a keen shot, could have been on a grouse-shooting trip with friends.
How can she get a night off without Great granny to babysit?
