LOOSE LIPS:
"When you have both genders represented, then you have a healthier point of view. You don't feel a hierarchy; you don't have anyone feeling like they are being left out or bullied or humiliated. Sometimes, being the only girl on a set, you can feel like a sexual object."
--Jessica Chastain, on gender equality in Hollywood, to Porter magazine

Jodie Sweetin addresses past drug abuse on 'Dancing with the Stars'
Jodie Sweetin is opening up about her past substance abuse and long road to recovery.
The 34-year-old Fuller House star discussed her addiction to drugs and alcohol on Monday's episode of Dancing with the Stars before giving an emotional performance with partner Keo Motsepe.
"When the original Full House wrapped, I was 13 years old," Sweetin recalled. "It was a huge shift in my life. Everything that I'd known from the time I was five years old suddenly ended, and it was saying goodbye to a family that I loved very, very much."
"At such a young age, it really was a huge loss for me that I didn't know how to grieve," she explained. "Drugs and alcohol just sort of numbed everything. I was doing cocaine, and ecstasy, and alcohol and all that."
"The darkest moments for me weren't necessarily winding up in the hospital and all that," the star revealed. "It was those quiet moments alone when I just hated the person that I'd become."
Sweetin, who celebrated her fifth year of sobriety in March, said she's happy "with simple things now." The actress is mom to two daughters, 7-year-old Zoie and 5-year-old Beatrix, and got engaged to Justin Hodak in January.
"I've got everything I could want," she previously told Us Weekly. "I look aback at things that have happened in the past, and I look at where I am now, and it's crazy. If anything, my life is a lesson to never give up."
"We turn to each other for support," she said of Hodak, who is also a recovering addict. "We both have our own lives and things we're excited about, but we combine that, where we have this great relationship."
Sweetin and Motsepe scored a 23 with their foxtrot to "Rise Up" by Andra Day on Dancing with the Stars, which airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. Former The O.C. actress Mischa Barton was eliminated on Monday's episode.

Which 'Community' actor will portray Chevy Chase in Netflix's 'National Lampoon' biopic?
Joel McHale is set to portray his former Community co-star Chevy Chase in an upcoming Netflix biopic about the creation of comedy brand National Lampoon.
The film entitled A Futile and Stupid Gesture, is based on the 2006 nonfiction book of the same name and tells the tragic story of National Lampoon cofounder Doug Kenney, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Kenney was famous for creating the National Lampoon, a humor magazine, along with Henry Beard that later turned into a lucrative film brand. Kenney tragically died in 1980 under mysterious circumstances, falling off a cliff in Hawaii. Chase and Kenney were close friends who worked on the 1980 comedy hit Caddyshack together.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the biopic is set to be directed by Wet Hot American Summer helmer David Wain and will also star Will Forte as Beard. Production is set to begin this April.
McHale is familiar with Chase having starred alongside the comedian for five seasons of NBC's cancelled comedy Community. McHale has recently appeared in Fox's X-Files revival and will next be seen in the CBS pilot, The Great Indoors.
