Brad Pitt sat down for a tell-all Esquire cover story and dropped bombshell after bombshell: from confessing he's fallen off the sobriety wagon to admitting to a devastating moment from his past he's never spoken about. We're unpacking the wildest lines from the profile everyone's talking about.

Meanwhile, Anne Hathaway's red carpet baby bump has spiralled into a full-blown conspiracy theory, with corners of the internet convinced it's fake. She's since clapped back on Instagram, and we're getting into why this always seems to happen to pregnant women in the spotlight.

Plus, new Oscar winner Michael B Jordan and singer Raye were spotted looking very coupley at Six Flags, and honestly? We're rooting for it.
