Alec Baldwin is suing the New Mexico officials who charged him with manslaughter over the death of Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust, charges that were later thrown out.

Baldwin’s attorneys Luke Nikos and Alex Spiro said in a statement, “Criminal prosecutions are supposed to be about the search for truth and justice, not to pursue personal or political gain or harass the innocent. Kari Morrissey and the other defendants violated that basic principle, over and over, and trampled on Alec Baldwin’s rights. We bring this action to hold the defendants accountable for their misconduct and to prevent them from doing this to anyone else.”

In response special prosecutor Kari Morrisey said, “In October 2023 the prosecution team became aware that Mr. Baldwin intended to file a retaliatory civil lawsuit. We look forward to our day in court.”

In October 2024, a New Mexico judge declined to reconsider criminal charges against Baldwin over the 2021 fatal shooting on the set of Rust.

Manslaughter charges against Baldwin were thrown out in July after it was learned during trial that prosecutors withheld evidence from the defense, namely ammunition brought to the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office.

Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed on Oct. 21, 2021, when she was shot by Baldwin while he was practicing using a Colt .45 revolver. The prop gun, which Baldwin believed to contain dummy rounds, actually had a live round of ammunition in it. Director Joel Souza was also struck in the shooting, but recovered from his injuries.

Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in connection with Hutchins’ death in March. Prosecutors argued during the trial she was the source of the live bullet and had failed to follow safety protocols meant to protect the crew while handling the firearms.

Get ready for more ghostly haunts with Goosebumps: The Vanishing.

The new season of the anthology series arrives on Disney+ and Hulu on Friday. David Schwimmer stars as Anthony Brewer, a recently divorced botanist whose twin children come to live with him just as dark secrets reveal a spooky mystery.

Schwimmer told ABC Audio it was incredibly fun to join such an iconic franchise.

“I didn’t realize just how loved this series is because I was 25 when it came out, so I didn’t grow up with the books,” Schwimmer said. “Of course, I had heard of Goosebumps and I saw the first [TV] series … but I just didn’t know how many people love the series and are looking forward to it.”

He found acting in a project full of “fun frights” to be really enjoyable and said that, luckily, he doesn’t scare easily.

“I really love going to scary movies and especially seeing them in a movie theater. Although, I think this series, if you turn off the lights at home and watch it, or, you know, stream it on whatever device … I think it’ll be equally satisfying and equally scary,” Schwimmer said. “You can always pause it if you need to shake it off, you know what I mean? I’m guilty of doing that on occasion, watching a scary movie at home.”

Even though he says he’s been known to pause a scary movie and “just take five” minutes to collect himself before starting it back up, Schwimmer says he’ll always finish watching it.

“I do like a good scare,” he said. 

All eight episodes of Goosebumps: The Vanishing will be available to watch on Disney+ and Hulu on Jan. 10.

Hacks star Jean Smart is calling on TV networks to reconsider airing any upcoming awards shows in light of the Los Angeles wildfires.

“ATTENTION!” Smart wrote in an Instagram post. “With ALL due respect, during Hollywood’s season of celebration, I hope any of the networks televising the upcoming awards will seriously consider NOT televising them and donating the revenue they would have garnered to the victims of the fires and the firefighters.”

The Critics Choice Awards have already been postponed from Jan. 12 to Jan. 26 due to the fires, while Oscar nominations have been delayed from Jan. 17 to Jan. 19.

Jamie Lee Curtis has pledged $1 million to help those affected by the wildfires raging in Southern California.

Curtis appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday, where she spoke about the ongoing devastating fires affecting the Los Angeles area.

“As you know, where I live is on fire right now. The entire city of Pacific Palisades is burning. I flew here last night, I was on the plane, started getting texts and it’s f****** gnarly, you guys. It’s just a catastrophe in Southern California,” Curtis said. “Everything: the market I shop in, the schools my kids go to. Many, many, many friends now have lost their homes. So it’s a really awful situation.”

On Thursday, Curtis took to Instagram to share that she and her husband, Christopher Guest, are donating $1 million to the relief efforts in the city.

“As the fire still rages on and @calfire @losangelesfiredepartment and all the available first responders and agencies involved in fighting fire and saving lives are still hard at work and neighbors and friends are banding together to save each other, my husband and I and our children have pledged $1 million from our Family Foundation to start a fund of support for our great city and state and the great people who live and love there,” Curtis wrote.

She said she’s been in contact “with Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass and Senator Schiff as to where those funds need to be directed for the most impact.”

During her appearance on Fallon on Wednesday, Curtis said she planned to fly back to LA Thursday morning to help her family and friends in the city. She then urged viewers to do anything they can to help the situation.

“Do anything you can. Anything in your community to help people,” Curtis said. “Give blood, donate, whatever you can do, animal shelters.”

As multiple wildfires burn through Los Angeles County, some celebrities are posting about the impact of the fires and showcasing the fire damage throughout LA County, home to nearly 10 million people.

“Words cannot describe the enormity of the devastation we are witnessing and experiencing,” Crystal said in the statement. “We ache for our friends and neighbors who have also lost their homes and businesses in this tragedy. Janice and I lived in our home since 1979. We raised our children and grandchildren here. Every inch of our house was filled with love. Beautiful memories that can’t be taken away. We are heartbroken of course but with the love of our children and friends we will get through this.”

Paris Hilton‘s representative told ABC News that her home was among those destroyed amid the wildfires.

“Heartbroken beyond words. Sitting with my family, watching the news, and seeing our home in Malibu burn to the ground on live TV is something no one should ever have to experience,” Hilton posted to Instagram Wednesday.

Other celebrities who have posted about losing their homes include Mandy Moore, The Hills stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, and General Hospital actor Cameron Mathison.

Succession’s Jeremy Strong is set to play Bruce Springsteen’s manager Jon Landau in the upcoming movie Deliver Me From Nowhere, and he tells Deadline working on the film has “been one of the greatest working experiences I’ve ever had.”

“(Landau) has a lot to do with who Bruce is, his spirit and the kind of concentric, uplifting circles that emanate from the core of his being,” Strong says of Landau. “I like to do a deep dive playing these characters, and I’ve had a lot of access in this case to them.” 

The Bear‘s Jeremy Allen White plays Bruce in the film, and Strong says both the rock star and Landau have been very helpful to them in the process. “The more I’ve learned about them and witnessed them together, it really is a love story in a sense between these two men,” he says.

“It’s just been a beautiful thing to see and to have them on set, capturing it with them and weaving together the tapestry,” Strong shares. “Bruce and Jon will feed me stories, anecdotes, memories, thoughts, feelings that have all made their way into the film that we’re making.”

“But honestly, man, if you’re a Bruce person as I am now more than ever, just being in the orbit and telling the story about Nebraska … it’s really a story about artistic authenticity in an increasingly synthetic world,” he adds.

Deliver Me From Nowhere, directed by Scott Cooper, follows Springsteen’s efforts to make his 1982 solo album Nebraska. The film is based on Warren Zanes‘ book Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska.
