LOS ANGELES — Dax Shepard needs surgery, "The Crown" releases a new look at season four, and Tracee Ellis Ross says she tries to avoid doing "lady chores" during scenes of "Black-ish." These are the top headlines around Hollywood.
Dax Shepard is recovering after a motorcycle accident that ended with him needing surgery and breaking four ribs and his clavicle.
The "Armchair Expert Podcast" host told the story during a recent episode of his show, telling fans that the incident was actually his fault.
"I was passing six guys on Sonoma Raceway on a motorcycle and I was braking very, very hard, hard enough that the back wheel was off the ground for a good 100 yards," Shepard said during the podcast, "I was totally at blame. I thought I would be able to slide in between, but someone turned in and I was already under full brake and I couldn't go anywhere."
Shepard also added that he "went over the handlebars" and that he "landed pretty hard."
"Thank you Armcherries for all the well wishes and concern," the actor wrote in an Instagram post on Wednesday, "I'm in one piece and spirits are high."
Get better soon.
Fans of the Netflix hit series, "The Crown," listen up.
The streaming service dropped a brand-new trailer/premiere announcement on social media Thursday morning and surprised everyone with sneak peeks of the upcoming additions to the show.
The trailer features the arrival of former U.K. Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, played by Gillian Anderson, as well as Emma Corrin, who makes her debut as Princess Diana.
Fans are already eager to see how the fourth season shows off the new members of the show, and can hardly wait for November 15, when the new season arrives.
And "Black-ish" actor Tracee Ellis Ross is disclosing how she subtly fights against sexism in Hollywood.
Ross told the Los Angeles Times during a recent interview that she is constantly questioning the on-screen choices set out for her by writers and directors, including what she likes to call "lady chores."
"Why am I carrying laundry...Why am I the person in the kitchen cooking right now when this has nothing to do with the scene" the actor said during the interview, "Why am I doing the lady chores?"
Ross has good reason to question the choices too.
Her character, Rainbow "Bow" Johnson, in addition to being a mother and wife, is a full-time doctor.
It's an interesting way of dismantling nonverbal sexism that often goes unnoticed.
You go girl.
