LOOSE LIPS:
"I never thought I would have kids at such an early age, but I did and it's been a real blessing 'cause I get to be the cool dad now. It was really, really, really difficult at first. I did not know how to be a dad, how to take care of kids and how to be there for them. I feel pretty confident that I'm able to now, and it's great."

New trailer for 'Motherless Brooklyn' written, directed by, starring Edward Norton
 Warner Brothers released the trailer for Motherless Brooklyn on Thursday. Edward Norton stars with Bruce Willis, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Bobby Cannavale, Cherry Jones, Michael Kenneth Williams, Leslie Mann, Ethan Suplee, Dallas Roberts, Josh Pais, Robert Ray Wisdom, Fisher Stevens, Alec Baldwin, and Willem Dafoe. Norton also directed and adapted Jonathan Lethem's novel.
"Set against the backdrop of 1950s New York, Motherless Brooklyn follows Lionel Essrog (Norton), a lonely private detective living with Tourette Syndrome as he ventures to solve the murder of his mentor and only friend, Frank Minna (Willis)," the official synopsis reads.
The trailer shows some of Lionel's symptoms, repeating the phrase "I got threads in my heads" and blowing out every match he lights.
"Armed with only a few clues and the engine of his obsessive mind, Lionel unravels closely-guarded secrets that hold the fate of the whole city in the balance," the synopsis continues. "In a mystery that carries him from gin-soaked jazz clubs in Harlem to the hard-edged slums of Brooklyn and, finally, into the gilded halls of New York's power brokers, Lionel contends with thugs, corruption and the most dangerous man in the city to honor his friend and save the woman who might be his own salvation."
Mbatha-Raw appears to be that woman in the trailers, as Lionel tries to protect her from dangerous thugs. Even though the trailer shows Frank dying in the hospital, it appears Willis plays a major role. The trailer - and perhaps the film - spends significant time showing Frank mentor Lionel, and return in flashbacks even after he's gone.
Motherless Brooklyn is rated R for language including sexual references, brief drug use, and violence. Warner Bros. will release Motherless Brooklyn Nov. 1.
Sarah Michelle Gellar to star in 'Other People's Houses' series
Sarah Michelle Gellar is pursuing a return to television.
The Hollywood Reporter said Thursday the 42-year-old actress will star in and executive produce a new Fox dramedy based on the Abbi Waxman novel Other People's Houses.
The project reunites Gellar with Ringer creators Eric Charmelo and Nichole Snyder, who are adapting the book. Gellar played Bridget Kelly and Siobhan Martin in Ringer, which aired for one season on The CW.
Other People's Houses hails from Neil Meron and Universal Television, with Fox Entertainment to co-produce. Gellar will executive produce with Charmelo, Snyder, Meron and Mark Nicholson.
The new series is described as falling somewhere between Big Littles Lies and Catastrophe, according to Deadline. The story follows the lives of nine people living in a quiet suburban neighborhood.
Gellar will play Anne Porter, a working mom and social media influencer. The series also centers on Frances Bloom, a stay-at-home mom.
Other People's Houses is in development and has a script commitment thus far.
Gellar is best known for playing the title character in the WB series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Her last series regular role was Sydney Roberts on The Crazy Ones, which aired on CBS from 2013-2014.
