HBO’s Insecure is set to end with its upcoming fifth season.

According to Amy Gravitt, HBO Programming’s Executive Vice President said of the show and its impending end, “Issa has turned insecurity into an iconic form of comedy. The show is as incisive as it is heartfelt, and it has resonated strongly with its audience because of the deeply personal work that Issa, Prentice, Melina, the cast and the writers have put into it. This talented team has conceived a brilliant final season for Insecure and we look forward to having many more stories to tell with this singular group of collaborators.”

On the heels of Hilaria Baldwin’s Spanish cultural appropriation debacle, Alec Baldwin is reported to be living in a separate rental apartment, about a mile away from their Hampton family home.

A rep for Alec Baldwin, however, claims that the actor is self-isolating due to COVID concerns. The actor was seen out and about running errands though as opposed to being secluded in the rental apartment.

Bruce Willis Apologises for Mask Fiasco

Bruce Willis has spoken out after he was involved in an incident in a store in Los Angeles. The 65-year-old actor had gone into the LA Rite Aid store without putting on a mask. It was claimed that Willis had refused to wear a mask when asked to in the store, even though he had been wearing a bandana around his neck that could have been used as a makeshift face covering.

Willis was eventually photographed leaving the store without buying anything.

Following the incident, Willis told People Magazine in an exclusive statement that "it was an error in judgment". He also asked everyone to “be safe out there … and let's continue to mask up."
