Good afternoon Wypierdalaj,

Below are the latest entertainment news stories.

Lisa Kudrow has a new, hot take on whether her on-screen “Friends” Ross and Rachel were really on a break.

On Monday’s episode of “The Tonight Show,” Jimmy Fallon couldn’t resist revisiting the NBC sitcom’s legendary debate with the star who played Phoebe. He asked whether Ross and Rachel, played by David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston, were actually “on a break” when Ross slept with someone else out of jealousy over Rachel’s coworker Mark.

“Yeah, I’m afraid now to bring it up,” Kudrow joked.

“Friends” memorabilia, artwork and other valuables from the estate of Matthew Perry are being put up for sale at an auction to benefit the charitable foundation established in the actor’s name soon after his 2023 death.

The June 5 event put on by Heritage Auctions will benefit the Matthew Perry Foundation, which works to destigmatize addiction and aid in recovery from substance abuse.

“Matthew believed addiction should be met with compassion and science, not stigma and silence,” the foundation’s CEO Lisa Kasteler Calio said in a statement. “This auction fuels the Foundation’s work to expand access to evidence-based care and confront stigma. It is one more way we ensure that no one has to fight this disease alone.”

Blue Ivy Carter was ready for her Met Gala moment.

The 14-year-old daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z made her debut at the iconic fashion event on May 4, dazzling in Balenciaga while appearing alongside her parents.

Her first Met Gala coincided with Beyoncé’s return to the event for the first time in 10 years, as the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer was one of four co-chairs of the annual affair at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

Whether you eat Mexican food all the time or suddenly find yourself craving it when Cinco de Mayo rolls around each year, the annual holiday is a celebration of Mexican culture and food.

Cinco de Mayo, which falls on May 5, commemorates the anniversary of Mexico’s victory over France at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.

This year, Cinco de Mayo also happens to fall on Taco Tuesday, meaning we all have even more motivation to enjoy some Mexican delicacies.

Heidi Klum brought her love of Halloween costumes to the 2026 Met Gala.

Klum, who throws one of Hollywood’s most famous Halloween parties every year, got into the spooky spirit to honor the event’s “Fashion is Art” dress code this year.

The 52-year-old supermodel and “Project Runway” host arrived at the gala dressed as a marble statue in a custom look created by her longtime Halloween collaborator, Oscar-nominated make-up artist Mike Marino, Klum revealed on Instagram.

“The Lost Boys” and “Schmigadoon!” each earned a leading 12 Tony Award nominations Tuesday, as nominators also made June Squibb the oldest Tony-nominated actor in history at 96. Danny Burstein is now the most-nominated male actor in Tony history.

“The Lost Boys,” an adaptation of a 1987 teen movie vampire thriller, and “Schmigadoon!,” an adaptation of an Apple TV series that gently mocks Broadway musicals, were followed by a revival of “Ragtime,” a big, soaring musical celebrating early 20th-century America, with 11 nominations, and “Death of a Salesman,” Arthur Miller’s masterpiece that looks at the unraveling of the American Dream, starring Nathan Lane, which nabbed nine nods.

Twenty-four shows got at least one nomination across the 26 Tony categories, including “Cats: The Jellicle Ball,” which reimagines the 1980s classic feline musical into a celebration of queer ballroom culture, and a revival of “Chess,” the Cold War-set love triangle between two chess grand masters and the woman who loved both.
