Julia Roberts thinks age discrimination in Hollywood is "bulls**t".

The 50-year-old actress has slammed the idea that older stars shouldn't be given movie roles, and says that while she has managed to maintain a lucrative career for three decades, she doesn't think she is "special" when it comes to the talent pool of stars in Hollywood.

Speaking about age discrimination in Hollywood, particularly toward older women, Julia said: "I think that's made-up bulls**t that at a certain age, the bell is going to ring and you are done, go on back home. It's silly, and I don't think anybody buys into that. I don't think I am special. I've always been fortunate that I have always found the work I am looking for. I mean, 30 years is a long time, and I am grateful and satisfied."

The Homecoming actress also spoke about the gender pay gap, saying that while the problem still exists, it is getting better "every day".

Cardi B was sent "disturbing, threatening" messages about her daughter. The 26-year-old rapper and her husband, Migos rapper Offset, welcomed their first child, a daughter named Kulture Kiari, into the world in July, and Cardi has said that after her phone number was leaked, she started receiving "disgusting" messages about her tot.

Speaking to Ebro Darden on his Beats 1 radio show for Apple Music, she said: "I could show you screenshots of comments, and my phone number got leaked. I got so many disgusting text messages that I literally I had to hire a private investigator to find out who the f**k is these people threatening my child. It's just really disgusting, disturbing things ... we just don't want to show our baby right now."

The Bodak Yellow hitmaker has only shared glimpses of her daughter on social media, and recently revealed she turned down a seven-figure sum for pictures of the baby because she isn't "ready" to expose her to the world.

Emma Stone says her "organs shifted" after wearing a corset for a month. The 29-year-old actress has to wear the restrictive piece of clothing for her role in historical movie The Favourite, and has said she has a new-found sympathy for the women of the past who had to wear corsets every day, as she was left unable to breathe after just 30 days.

Speaking during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Emma said: "Women existed like that for such a long time, which gives you a lot of sympathy for that time period and what they were going through. For the first month, I couldn't breathe, and I would smell menthol and it would make me think I was in a wide-open space and could breathe for a moment in time.

"After a month, all my organs shifted it was gross, and if you don't have to, don't do it!"

The 'La La Land' star isn't the only one to have a gruesome corset story to tell either, as Dakota Fanning claimed in July that after wearing the item for seven months while filming TV show The Alienist, her body "completely changed".

She said: "Seven months; your body completely changes. You can get [the corset] on without even lacing or unlacing. By the end I was just snapping it on, snapping it off. It was like second nature."
