Scott Eastwood (Clint’s son!) stars in the upcoming film adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’ best-selling novel The Longest Ride. And although the bull-riding romantic drama doesn’t come out until early summer, Scott took to to social media on Monday night with a rather poignant message. We won’t spoil the surprise too much, but it involves the trailer’s release date. Beyond that, you’ll have to click below to find out.
* Iggy Azalea has a real beef with Papa John’s, and no, it’s not toppings-related. The rapper has blasted the U.S. pizza chain on Twitter, claiming their delivery driver gave out her phone number to a family member, who then texted her. The chain quickly apologized for the incident, albeit it with a cheeky tweet referencing her song lyrics:
@iggyazalea #We should have known better. Customer and employee privacy is important to us. Please don’t #bounce us!

Needless to say, this didn’t sit too well with Iggy, who went on a Twitter tear. “When an employee steals information it’s called data breach,”; she wrote. “It’s illegal. There are steps a corporation is supposed to follow afterward. They don’t include tweeting out song lyrics to the customer making the complaint, it’s really unprofessional. I want a real answer.”; From this point onward, Papa John’s took things a lot more seriously, with a company spokesman telling ABC News, “[We have] taken appropriate disciplinary action with regard to the employee involved. We are reaching out directly to Ms. Azalea and hope to resolve this incident and make it right.”;
* Music biopics rarely come as heavily anticipated as the long teased N.W.A. focused film Straight Outta Compton. The F. Gary Gray flick now has a trailer (a NSFW red band one at that) to crank up interest a few extra notches. This lengthy preview comes equipped with an intro from Dr. Dre and Ice Cube, plus a cameo from Kendrick Lamar and a friendly reminder that Paul Giamatti is part of the cast. “What a lot of people don’t realize about N.W.A. is it’s nonviolent protest,”; notes Ice Cube in this piece of promotional material. You’ll be able to catch Straight Outta Compton in full on August 14.
* Gwen Stefani looks ravishing in red on the cover of the March issue of Fashion. Inside the pages, the pop marvel touches on a variety of subjects from fashion to sexuality. “We have this sexual side to us that is alluring and powerful. It’s a gift. When you discover it when you are around 14, it feels amazing,“; shares Gwen in an interview that hits newsstands and iPads on February 16. “But you learn it’s fleeting. Sexuality is something I’ve never felt comfortable with. I won’t be doing any topless photo shoots anytime soon. It’s not my thing. I don’t judge people for it, but I didn’t even wear high heels until I was 30. It’s important to evolve outside of your sexuality to entertain people. It was never a card that I played or will play – ever.“; [Fashion]
* Madonna took time off from her Grammy side-gig as the world’s best known minotaur matador to sit down and chat with Ryan Seacrest. In an interview for On Air with Ryan Seacrest, Madge said she had a good time at last night’s big music industry hootenanny. Including the bit where she was hoisted to the ceiling. “It felt amazing,”; shared the 56-year-old pop icon. “Doing live TV is always super nerve-racking as you know, so many possibilities of everything going wrong … a little bit scary, that harness thing going up into the ceiling.”; She also gave up some relationship dish (“Not a steady dude, no.”;), talked about her new single (“(It’s) a song about taking a bad situation and turning it into something good,”;) and gave a bit of background about how she ended up flashing her rump on the red carpet this year. “I had an inspired accidental wardrobe malfunction moment,”; said Madonna. “It wasn’t really mooning. I just lifted my dress up. Mooning is like naked butt. Everyone’s seen my naked butt already … not for a while, not since the ’90s … For a lack of a better phrase, it was just me having fun and being cheeky, no pun intended.”; In the mood to listen to the full interview? We have it tucked below. [On Air With Ryan Seacrest]
