Only Murders in the Building will launch its fourth season on Hulu Tuesday, and co-stars Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short still can’t get enough of each other.

When ABC Audio asked them if they’ve learned anything new about each other this season, Selena noted, “No, I just … continuously am impressed and I feel grateful that I have really wonderful influence in both Marty and Steve, and they just really keep things happy.”

She adds, “And, even if it’s hard, they’re working so hard, it’s just impressive.”

Short expressed, “I think what’s changed is that with just the love and affection that’s grown from season to season.” But he couldn’t resist a joke: “You know, if someone had said … after one episode of the first season, ‘Selena seems upset,’ I’d say, ‘Which one is Selena'”

This season sees the trio jetting off to Los Angeles for a spell and also acting opposite a pig, who evidently was a little nervous becoming a TV star. “Well, when I was working with the pig, he peed all over Michael [Cyril Creighton],” Selena says. “And that was my first experience.”

Martin jokes, “I love working with animals. Anytime they’re on the set, it’s charming. It’s a pig, you know, you pick up a piggy, cuddle its nose … you pet the dog. It’s great. That’s the way I treat Marty.”

Selena received her first Emmy nomination in the acting category for her work in the third season of the show. Even before she became a kid actor, she says she’s “pretty sure” she practiced her Emmy speech. “I used to hold auditions when I was 6 for my neighborhood — and I didn’t have anything they were auditioning for, I just was really interested in the process.”

“I was broke”: Al Pacino confesses he lost million

Although he’s an icon, he’s an “idiot” with money — that’s one the takeaways from Al Pacino‘s new memoir, Sonny Boy.

According to excerpts from the New York Post, Pacino found himself in a shortfall, partially from his own lavish spending and partially because his accountant was involved in — and later jailed for — a Ponzi scheme.

Although The Godfather was a huge hit, Pacino only got $35,000 for playing Michael Corleone, and after paying his agents and the like, he was “broke.”

He explained it was his Godfather co-star, then-girlfriend Diane Keaton, who marched the actor before his attorney in the mid-’80s to try to beat some financial sense into him. “You’re going to tell me, ‘Oh, he’s an artist.’ No. He. Is. An idiot,” she reportedly said.

Calling his spending even into the 2010s “a crazy montage of loss,” he said at one point he had 16 cars, 23 cellphones and paid a landscaper $400,000 a year for “a house I didn’t even live in.”

And then there was the shady accountant.

Pacino said, “I had fifty million dollars, and then I had nothing.”

He was also supporting his three children at the time — and added a fourth in 2023.

Pacino said his now “dear friend” Adam Sandler threw him a lifeline — and a big check — for 2011’s Jack and Jill.

“Jack and Jill was the first movie I made after I lost my money. To be honest, I did it because I didn’t have anything else. Adam Sandler wanted me, and they paid me a lot for it.”

At 84, the actor says he “has to think very seriously about my estate now … I have to get advice from people who are way smarter than me.”
