In what’s shaping up to be a standout year for female filmmakers, Dee Rees is one of several unapologetic storytellers toppling the patriarchy and earning critical acclaim. For Rees, that’s with Mudbound, a harrowing yet beautifully directed story of two families as they try to survive in the Jim Crow South during and after World War II. 

Adapted from Hillary Jordan’s 2008 novel of the same name, Mudbound is a remarkable reflection of America, despite taking place in the late 1940s. “I think people are going to be able to really see themselves in this film,” Rees tells ET. 

Reaction to Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets may have been mixed, but one thing was unanimous: Rihanna playing a shape-shifting alien named Bubbles was a highlight. In this behind-the-scenes featurette, debuting on ET, RiRi reveals which of her many looks -- disco queen, French maid, Cleopatra and more -- was the hottest. Not like sexy, but actually hot.

It's Rock God vs. Thunder God!

On Saturday, School of Rock star Jack Black -- who's also one half of the band Tenacious D -- called out Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth, by way of Thor: Ragnarok director Taiki Waititi's Twitter. The playful beef stems from the the use of Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" in the movie. Black sang the classic rock song in School of Rock, and joked that the filmmakers stole the idea for the Marvel film.

For Greta Gerwig, flattery got her everywhere.

While on Late Night With Seth Meyers, the Lady Bird director presented the personal letters she wrote to Justin Timberlake, Alanis Morissette and Dave Matthews, asking permission to procure the rights to their hit songs. 

Jennifer Garner may be an A-lister, but she still gets starstruck. 

ET's Cameron Mathison sat down with the 45-year-old actress and her The Tribes of Palos Verdes co-star, Maika Monroe, at the film's junket on Friday, where Garner revealed who she still gets giddy seeing out and about. 

Supergirl star Melissa Benoist is addressing the ongoing sexual harassment scandals rocking Hollywood, following the recent suspension of Andrew Kreisberg -- executive producer of Supergirl as well as its fellow CW/DC Comics shows Arrow, The Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow -- over multiple reports of sexual harassment and other forms of workplace misconduct.

Step aside, Jamie Foxx!

ET's Cameron Mathison caught up with the 49-year-old actor at Sunday’s American Music Awards, where he introduced his “beautiful” daughter, Corinne, and shared how she steals the show in an upcoming film the pair worked on together.

Tyrese Gibson will get to see his daughter again.

The Fast & Furious star was awarded joint custody of his 10-year-old daughter, Shayla, on Friday, while a Los Angeles County judge denied ex-wife Norma Gibson's domestic violence restraining order request, according to court documents obtained by ET.

Demi Lovato is not sorry about this fashion choice.

On Sunday, the 25-year-old singer hit the carpet for the MTV EMAs, in a sexy window pane-patterned suit, with high-waisted pants, an open jacket, and no shirt.
