DREW BARRYMORE CALLS JAKE GYLLENHAAL LEAST-TALENTED COSTAR: Harsh! Drew Barrymore dropped an unsolicited professional assessment on Jake Gyllenhaal Wednesday night on James Corden‘s The Late Late Show‘s revealing game, “Spill Your Guts Or Fill Your Guts.” Contestants answer questions that give them the option of eating something truly gross (bird saliva, sperm smoothie), or confessing to something equally horrifying. When faced with eating a turkey testicle or ranking her co-stars’ talents, she easily picked the loser in the Hugh Grant, Jake Gyllenhaal and Adam Sandler sandwich. “Jake Gyllenhaal, so I don’t have to eat a turkey’s ball.” Corden reminded her that she had to rank her co-stars-not simply name the least talented. “When I run into him next time, I’ll be like, ‘Dude, it was like selling you down the river or eating turkey’s balls.’ And by the way, I don’t even care if he hates me,” Barrymore apologized. “Oh, god…I literally am doing this because I won’t make it. I’m going to [vomit] all over the place. I would say, Adam, Hugh, Jake.” (E! News)

TAYLOR SWIFT’S REPUTATION SOLD 2M: Taylor Swift‘s sixth album Reputation is the first album to sell 2 million copies in the U.S. in the past two years. The 2017 release sold more than 700K on its drop day last November, and was pushed over the 2 million mark last week. Adele‘s 25 was the last album to accomplish that. (And it only took her three days!) (Billboard)

DID AUBREY O’DAY AND RUSSELL SIMMONS HAVE A THING? Aubrey O’Day may have had that now-infamous “Spanx-ripping” romp with Russell Simmons. The accused sexual molester denies their affair. This rumor comes on the heels of the Danity Kane singer’s alleged affair with Donald Trump Jr., which reportedly ultimately caused his wife, Vanessa, to file for divorce from him. In a 2012 podcast she detailed the Spanx-romp with an unnamed man: “I was walking through the hallways and got pulled into this bathroom and he threw me up against the wall and looked at me for two seconds and then we started making out like crazy.” (Page Six)
