Drew Carey picked up a really big tab last year and doesn’t regret it. The actor and host of “The Price is Right” covered meals for members of the Writers Guild of America at Bob’s Big Boy and Swingers in Los Angeles during their 148-day strike last summer and fall. Carey appeared at the WGA Awards ceremony on Sunday night, where he joked about the bill they rang up. “Honestly, I didn’t know it was going to cost me so much money,” Carey said on stage. “The last time, I think the total bill (during a 2007 strike) was like $67,000, fifteen years ago. I thought it was going to be about the same thing, but then some of you decided, ‘Oh yeah, I’m going to get a shake and dessert.’” He said his accountant called him up concerned about how long the strike was going on. “When the bills started piling up, my accountant called and was like, ‘Is there any way we can dial this back?’” he said.
Justin Baldoni’s legal team on Tuesday released footage from the set of “It Ends With Us,” the film at the center of his ongoing legal battle with co-star Blake Lively, that they say supports his claim that he acted with “respect and professionalism” toward the former “Gossip Girl” star, who has accused him of sexual harassment.
