- Maggie Gyllenhaal admits that she felt a latent jealousy toward her brother Jake Gyllenhaal early in their careers.

- "I don't think I was in touch with the envy, but it was there," she said.

- The *Dark Knight* actress directed her brother for the first time in her new film, *The Bride*: "It meant so much for me to interact with him."

Maggie Gyllenhaal is reflecting on her relationship with her famous brother, Jake Gyllenhaal.

The actress discussed her latent jealousy toward the *Brokeback Mountain* star during their early careers in a new interview.

"In general, I am very interested in envy," the *Lost Daughter* filmmaker said in a broader conversation about envy with *The New York Times*. "I think there's a reason it's a seven deadly sin. I'm interested in it in terms of watching other people's movies come out. Admiration versus envy. What creates it? I think it's usually feeling starving, like you don't have enough."

Gyllenhaal added that she contacted director Emerald Fennell in the lead-up to her latest project, *Wuthering Heights*. "And just the act of reaching out to her — and she's great — frees the competition up and you realize: No, no. We're actually 100 percent on the same team," she said. "There absolutely is enough to go around."

But the *Stranger Than Fiction* actress didn't possess the same wisdom about jealousy during her early acting days, when she felt that her younger brother had quickly surpassed her in success.

"I don't think I knew that at first, when I was young and Jake was a movie star right away," she said. "I don't think I was in touch with the envy, but it was there."

Both Gyllenhaals began their onscreen careers as children in the early 1990s. Jake made his debut in the 1991 Billy Crystal comedy *City Slickers*, while Maggie first acted in *Waterland*, a 1992 drama directed by their dad, Stephen Gyllenhaal, in 1992.

After the siblings played supporting roles in their dad's films *A Dangerous Woman* and *Homegrown*, Jake landed his first leading role in 1999's *October Sky*. Two years later, he headlined *Bubble Boy* and *Donnie Darko*, the latter of which costarred Maggie as his onscreen sister. She played her first lead role in 2002's *Secretary*.

Maggie's sophomore directorial project, the *Bride of Frankenstein* reimagining *The Bride*, hits theaters next week. It features Jake in a supporting role, marking the first time the siblings have worked together since *Donnie Darko*.

"I waited until I was absolutely sure that asking him to do this part was the right thing to do," Maggie told *The New York Times*. "I remember asking him and tearing up alone in this hotel room I was in, because it meant so much to me. It meant so much for me to interact with him."

The *Dark Knight* star admitted that she'd previously kept some distance from her family's creative endeavors. "In the past, I've had to be separate from my family, from my brother," she said. "Like, cool, I've got my own thing going. We both started so young."

The filmmaker said that "reaching out" to her sibling felt "honest" and "vulnerable" after 25 years of their careers staying separate. "Just basically saying, I want to interact, and I know that this is a place where we can do it," she explained. "I'm not asking him to do something that he can't do. I'm making an offer, which is a generous thing to do."

Maggie also indicated that *The Bride* has fostered a new level of connection with Jake. "We've never been estranged, but we've never been as close as we are now," she reflected. "We're finally, maybe in the last five years, more and more and more, even each day, really interacting, which is hard for people to do."

The director told ** in December that working with her brother was "like icing on the cake" as she helmed *The Bride*. "He came in, and we fit him in when he was available, and he wore this great tuxedo; he danced, and he sang," she said. "He was so funny, so generous, so loving, and such a pleasure to have on set."

Maggie noted that Jake also made several contributions to the film's soundtrack. "He's such an incredible singer, and I love hearing him sing," she said. "If you sit through all the credits, at the very end is one of his beautiful songs he sings. That was really a live, exciting connection, working with him on set."

*The Bride* hits theaters March 6.

- Zack Snyder is glad *Batman v. Superman* didn't have "all the edges shaved off it by the focus groups."

- The filmmaker also told critics who call his fan base "toxic" to "go f--- yourself."

- He added that it's possible that he could return to the DC Universe one day: "I would never say that there's no way."

It's been nearly a decade since *Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice* polarized moviegoers, but director Zack Snyder remains as proud of it as ever.

The filmmaker recently discussed the controversial crossover movie at length, standing by creative decisions that turned some audiences off of his vision for the DC universe.

"My 100 percent honest reaction to *BvS* and how it's received in the world is… Do you really want a movie that's [had] all the edges shaved off it by the focus groups?" Snyder said during a conversation with Josh Horowitz on the *Happy Sad Confused* podcast. "Do you really want a movie that has [had] decisions made in the boardroom, or tested ideas are being rendered for your enjoyment? Do you really want the Kmart version of your story? Is that what you really want?"

*Dawn of Justice* — as well as Snyder's other DC movies, *Man of Steel* and *Justice League* — received criticism for unconventional renderings of beloved superheroes, including a Batman (Ben Affleck) who shows no remorse after murdering his enemies and a Superman (Henry Cavill) with a darker edge than comic books have typically given him.

Snyder indicated that the film's unusual handling of its iconic characters, plus its somber mood and grim violence, caused a headache as it was being rated.

"We were trying for the PG-13 [rating] for the movie, [but] the MPAA kept kicking the movie back to us, saying, 'It's still an R, it's still an R,'" the filmmaker recalled. "I'm like, 'What are you talking about? We're taking everything out!' And I remember someone saying we got a report from the MPAA saying like, 'We just don't like the idea of Batman fighting Superman. So that kind of makes it an R.'"

Snyder recalled the ratings board objecting to several details in the pivotal battle between the two heroes, noting that they considered it "rude" when the characters slammed into radiators and sinks during their skirmish.

"We should've realized then that we were kind of kicking the zeitgeist in the nuts a little bit," he said. "That we were going to anger people, because not only do they not want their heroes deconstructed, they don't want their heroes battling each other on a road to deconstructing the 'why' of their existence. That is another sacrilege."

Although Snyder had a vision for sequels to *Justice League* that never came to fruition, he said he always intended for his iteration of the DC Universe to conclude. "This was a mythological universe that we saw had an ending," he said. "It was like a flower. It was gonna bloom and be glorious and then die. And then we would have been done with it."

However, Snyder later likened his DC mythos to a different plant that exists independently of James Gunn's rebooted cinematic universe. "That three-movie trilogy is a weed that just won't die," he said. "It grows on its own and has its own life and is not concerned, I don't think, with James' *Superman*, which is amazing."

Snyder also said he cannot completely rule out returning to DC, as he already overcame seemingly insurmountable obstacles to realize his vision for *Zack Snyder's Justice League* — his retooled 2021 director's cut that required additional photography and a massive VFX overhaul.

"I would never say that there's no way," he said. "I would never, because I was on the ride that created *Justice League*. And if you were in my shoes, there were numerous times, dark times, when I would say there is no chance that there will ever be my version of *Justice League*… cost, politics, everything stood against it. And yet, it exists."

Snyder noted that the Snyder Cut materialized only because of fervent fan outcry, also reiterating his appreciation for his supporters raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention after his daughter Autumn died by suicide in 2017.

"The fans should never forget that they did that," he said. "We raised a ton of money for suicide prevention, and they really did a lot of good. And I think that they catch a lot of flak for being toxic or whatever, but they literally saved human lives. So you can go f--- yourself if that's what you think."

- Lauren Holly slammed her former costar Dennis Quaid for aligning himself with Republican politicians.

- "It's crazy to me at this point," she said of Quaid's support for Donald Trump after he flew on Air Force One with the president.

- "At least I got to slap him real hard in *Any Given Sunday*," she added under a photo of Quaid with Ted Cruz.

Lauren Holly isn't pleased with Dennis Quaid.

The *NCIS* actress slammed the *Reagan* actor's alignment with Republican politicians in a series of Threads posts on Friday.

After Sen. Ted Cruz shared a photo of himself with Quaid aboard Air Force One on social media on Friday, journalist Yashar Ali shared the same photo on Threads, prompting Holly to offer her two cents in the replies.

"At least I got to slap him real hard in *Any Given Sunday*," wrote the actress, who had a strained onscreen marriage with Quaid in the 1999 football drama.

Holly also responded to a video of Quaid saying "I love Donald Trump" during a public appearance with the president in Corpus Christi, Tex., on Friday.

"It's crazy to me at this point," Holly wrote.

The actress also endorsed and replied to a post labeling Quaid a fascist. "Watching @laurenholly comment on all the Dennis Quiad capitulation is top tier @threads energy. Make fascists uncomfortable by any means possible…" a user wrote.

"Any means…." Holly responded.

Representatives for Quaid did not immediately respond to **'s request for comment.

Prior to the Corpus Christi event, Cruz shared a video of Quaid seated at a table with Trump on Air Force One.

"I'd like to ask President Reagan what you think of President Trump," the Texas senator says in the clip.

Quaid, who portrayed Ronald Reagan in the 2024 biopic *Reagan*, slipped into character as the 40th U.S. president. "I think he's like me on steroids, actually," he said of Trump in his Reagan voice.

"An historic conversation on AF1 between TWO great American Presidents…." Cruz wrote in his caption.

Quaid previously said he planned to vote for Trump in the 2024 election. "As president, the only thing I liked about Trump was everything he did," the *Rookie* star said on *Piers Morgan Uncensored*. "People might call him an a--hole, but he's my a--hole."

Quaid recently described Trump as "very surprisingly approachable," "very funny," and "really genuine" during an interview with Greg Laurie on *The Greg Laurie Show.*

"He wouldn't be president if he wasn't genuine," the actor said. "Because people, the people who voted for him, they know that he has their best interests at heart, that he is a genuine person."

Few things in life are as immediately clear as RuPaul's cover girl beauty, but fans had a memorably difficult time literally seeing that — or much of anything at all — through what appeared to be a glob of vaseline smeared across the camera throughout the filming of *RuPaul's Drag Race* season 1.

OG queens BeBe Zahara Benet — who walked away with the Emmy-winning series' inaugural prize — and fan-favorite competitor Ongina recently stopped by EW'S *BINGE* podcast to lovingly recap their season 1 journey through the future ratings juggernaut's fabulous fledgling waters and that infamously blurry camera lens as part of Mama Ru's debut crop of contenders vying for what would become the most coveted crown in queer television history.

"It seems like every two seconds they had to change some lighting thing," Benet affectionately jokes of season 1's aesthetic, which she tells *BINGE* cohosts Joey Nolfi and Jillian Sederholm was a recurring point of comedy for the first group of girls to face off on *Drag Race*. "[It was] that filter!" Ongina continues. "They had to keep changing the plastic layer they kept adding to the camera! They had a man with different color cellophanes. We were just sitting there!"

Benet remembers that the group had no idea the season would end up playing on national television as if it was being broadcast through a cloud of mist, which fans have adoringly come to love as one of the show's most memorable artistic choices across its 11-year history.

"We didn't even know what it was. When we looked at the final product we were like, oh, they sure blurred our faces, honey, we must not have been that cute!" she quips.

Before the show went on to score gold with the Television Academy and morph into a global phenomenon on VH1, queer-focused network Logo shepherded the series into existence on a much smaller budget than it has now, which resulted in what appeared to be a tiny runway Benet and Ongina claim was easier to navigate than fans suspect. That wasn't the case for season 1 competitor Akashia, however, who fell atop the stage after getting tripped up on a gorgeous ballgown.

"It seemed like she was very down and very sad. What I remember from that day is she had asked me [to help her pick] between two outfits," explains Ongina. "She showed me the gown which she wore, and then she was showing me another hoe outfit. I was like, 'You should probably wear a gown this time because you've been a hoe the last few outfits you've worn.' I'm not saying it was *my* fault she fell, obviously that was her fault because she couldn't walk in a gown, but maybe I added to that!"

Ongina maintains that she made the call as a genuine move to help Akashia, who'd already landed in the bottom twice leading up to that point. Benet backs up the sentiment, speculating that the magic of season 1 stems from a lack of knowledge about how the show operated, so there was no secret plotting or back-stabbing like we see on today's televised pageants.

"Whether you hate or love us, we were very genuine," Benet stresses. "We didn't have blueprints to say 'I want to be the bitch' or 'I want to be this,' we were just who we were.... nobody came with some preconceived notion or strategy!"

Listen to Benet and Ongina's full interview on EW's *BINGE* podcast — which recaps one season of *RuPaul's Drag Race* per episode — above.

Tyra Sanchez might've won the judges over by marrying her stunning looks with ace lip-sync skills, but the former drag queen's *RuPaul's Drag Race* season 2 sisters tell EW she morphed into a momentary bridezilla during an intense confrontation the show's cameras didn't capture.

"It actually happened.... while people were [doing their confessional interviews], so there weren't cameras in the Werk Room," season 2 runner-up Raven explains to hosts Joey Nolfi and Jillian Sederholm in the latest episode of *EW's BINGE* podcast.

Raven adds that, during prep for the infamous bridal makeover challenge on episode 5, Sanchez — who would go on to win the competition, and now goes by James Ross — tested her fellow competitors' collective patience by singing Beyoncé's "Halo" at the "top of her lungs" while the queens tried to focus on completing their wedding gowns for the runway.

"We had just spent all day filming. Tensions were high. We were halfway through the competition, and she was asked nicely to please be quiet, and she did not," Raven remembers. "She was asked as second time. This is when it got more to a 'Hey, shut the f— up,' and she did not."

Raven says Tatianna then "decided to walk up to her and say 'Look, I'm sick of hearing you. Shut the f— up.' They kind of pushed each other and a production assistant walked in and separated the two of them. Mind you, she was half the height of both of them."

The moment ended with the contestants accepting that the moment marked a "turning point" for Tyra, "where everyone realized she really just doesn't care about anyone else here."

Elsewhere on the episode, Jujubee takes us through the moment her eyeball connected with Raven's stiletto during the final episode's music video shoot, an audio mishap that occurred while Jessica Wild was, well, sitting on the porcelain throne, and more season 2 tea on* EW's BINGE* podcast, which premieres new episodes featuring *Drag Race* icons every Thursday.
