Dave Chappelle, along with comedians Bill Burr, Whitney Cummings and Chris D’Elia, used their star power to help out struggling comics hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic. 

The comedians teamed with the world-famous Comedy Store on Sunset Blvd. in California to raise $100k for comedians by creating 3 episodes of a live, on-camera podcast. Dave was a special, unannounced guest on the final episode, which ended up being a virtual reunion for “Chappelle’s Show,” as he told jokes alongside Neal Brennan, Burr and Donnell Rawlings.

Cummings hosted the benefit’s first episode, along with D’Elia, Bobby Lee, Andrew Santino, and Tim Dillon. Tom Segura hosted the second episode with Joey Diaz, Bert Kreischer and Theo Von.  All the episodes are on YouTube and are available on demand through The Comedy Store Channel on Roku, Apple TV and Xbox. Viewers donated $100,000 directly to The Comedy Store Family Fund by text message during the live broadcast, and those wishing to donate can still do so by texting TCSFamily to 41444.

Kristin Cavallari posted on Instagram Sunday to share the sad news that she and husband Jay Cutler have decided to divorce. The two have been together for nearly a decade and share three kids together—Camden Jack Cutler (7), Jaxon Wyatt Cutler (5) and Saylor James Cutler (4).

“With great sadness, after 10 years together we have come to a loving conclusion to get a divorce,” the reality TV personality’s lengthy caption began, alongside an image of her and the retired NFL star. “We have nothing but love and respect for one another and are deeply grateful for the years shared, memories made, and the children we are so proud of,” her statement continued. “This is just the situation of two people growing apart. We ask everyone to respect our privacy as we navigate this difficult time within our family.”

Jay shared the same statement on his Instagram account, alongside a black-and-white photo of him and The Hills alum. The couple tied the knot in 2013 in Nashville, and had been engaged since November 2011, after dating on and off for years.

The “Hunger Games” story will continue as author Suzann Collins plans to release a prequel book — which a movie will be based on —-titled “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.”  The book is scheduled for release on May 19 and will explores the origin of the series’ dystopian society.

“Lionsgate has always been the cinematic home of ‘The Hunger Games,’ and I’m delighted to be returning to them with this new book,” Collins said in a statement.  For the new movie, Collins will serve as executive producer. Francis Lawrence returns as director after making the three previous “Hunger Games” movies. Nina Jacobson will again produce, along with Brad Simpson.  Collins’ series — including “The Hunger Games,” “Catching Fire” and “Mockingjay” — has sold tens of millions of copies worldwide and is the basis for four Lionsgate movies that earned nearly $3 billion and starred Jennifer Lawrence as the heroine Katniss Everdeen.

The new film will take place in Collins’ fictional Panem and center on 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow, the future president, played in the earlier movies by Donald Sutherland.
