TMZ reports Australia-born singer/songwriter and guitarist Brody, who founded the punk rock act the Distillers and alt-rock band Spinnerette, filed to be legally separated from her husband on Friday, Nov. 15.
The outlet has not reported what led to the longtime couple's decision to part ways.
In a 2018 interview with The Sydney Morning Herald (via Blabbermouth), Josh described Brody as his "punk-rock dream girl," explaining that the two first met when she was 17 and he was 23. Josh had played a show with the Screaming Trees when he met Brody backstage.
"We talked for an hour and a half and I never forgot her," he said, adding that they "made out" but he "didn't see her again until seven years later."

By then, she'd started the Distillers and split from Rancid's Tim Armstrong.
"Our bands played the Big Day Out in Australia in 2003," Josh recalled. "I was with someone in a casual way but had my eye out for Brody and saw her walking past. I pretended I didn't see her and tried to be cool. From that moment, we clicked and it was on. We've been together ever since. I never thought I would get married, but I found someone I couldn't live without."
Josh and Brody share three children, Camille, 13, Orrin, 8, and Wolf, 3.

Orlando Bloom pleads for help after dog Mighty goes missing
As Orlando Bloom and fiancée Katy Perry await the birth of their first baby, his beloved fur baby has gone missing.

Orlando took to Instagram on the evening of July 15 to plead with fans and followers to help him find Mighty. "🚨MIGHTY IS MISSING 🚨in Montecito California," Orlando captioned a slideshow of photos of the adorable red teacup poodle, adding that Mighty "is chipped and his collar has a number to call."
"If you take him to your local vet or shelter or police station he can be traced back to me for a reward please only send REAL INFO my heart is already broken so please don't add insult to injury 🖤," the heartbroken British actor wrote.
The dog is often photographed in Orlando's arms — and is often confused with Nugget, Katy's look-alike red poodle. Orlando adopted Mighty in 2017 during a break in his romance with Katy, to whom he proposed in 2019.
Many of Orlando's celebrity pals took to the comments of his Instagram post to weigh in on the sad news. "Oh love . Thinking of you," wrote Liv Tyler. "Oh I'm so so sorry, I can't imagine the pain you're going through. Mighty must and will be found!! 🙏🙏🙏❤️," added Helena Christensen.
Trudie Styler commented, "Oh I'm sorry Orly Sending heartfelt love and prayers for his safe return," while Samantha Ronson wrote, "Sending good thoughts to the universe for you 💔❤️💔."
Mighty accompanies Orlando everywhere — even on motorcycles and bicycle rides. In 2017, the actor shared a photo of himself biking with the poodle nestled in a bag hanging from his chest, captioning it "#mansbestfriend 👊🏻." In 2018, he shared a pic of Mighty inside a carrier slung across his chest as he sat atop a motorbike.
In February, Orlando took Mighty along to Milan Fashion Week in Italy. He shared a slideshow of photos of the pooch accompanying him all over town and watching the Hugo Boss catwalk presentation.
While preparing for her newest role, Lucy Hale learned all about the birds and bees.

In "A Nice Girl Like You," Lucy's character creates a sex to-do list after being dumped by her boyfriend. In order to portray the character accurately, the former "Pretty Little Liars" star said she went to a sex convention for a few pointers.
"I play a girl named Lucy Neal, which is crazy. It was written as that Lucy Neal, Lucy Hale, I was like, 'This is meant to be,'" she told E!'s Daily Pop on Wednesday. "But, the whole time I was reading it, I was just laughing my butt off. And it made me feel uncomfortable, like really uncomfortable, so I knew that I had to do it."
In fact, she said she was "embarrassed and blushing" upon reading the script, but that didn't dissuade her from wanting to be a part of the film. In real life, the role helped "break me out of my shell," she said.
How so?
"Went to an actual sex convention—it was wild," she plainly stated. "Stuff I've never seen before."

The 31-year-old said noted she even gained some real life inspiration from the character… and that convention.
"There were some things in the movie that I had never heard of or done," she said. "So, it did broaden my horizons."
Lucy's newest role comes after her CW show "Katy Keene" was not renewed.
"Sometimes things just don't work out and maybe it was just not the right time for it, I don't know, I'm a little confused," she tearfully said in a July 2 Instagram video. "The show is not coming back and that sucks, but I'll hold my head high and who knows what I'll do next."

Jana Kramer auditioned for 'Housewives' while quarantined
"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" could be going country.
According to Jana Kramer, she and her husband recently auditioned to be on the reality TV show. The country singer made the reveal on her Whine Down podcast while she and her husband, Mike Caussin, spoke with Joe and Melissa Gorga of "Real Housewives of New Jersey."

"I was going to say something, but I wasn't sure if I could say it," Jana said. "We might have auditioned for a certain Housewives thing, but we haven't heard back yet. At the same time, I would be so afraid that we'd be eaten alive and spit out and then like canceled the next day."
The former "One Tree Hill" actress said she and Mike auditioned during quarantine because they "weren't doing anything else."

Joe and Melissa encouraged the couple to pursue the opportunity. Jana, though, admitted that being a "Housewife" would be challenging, not just because she'd likely have to move, at least part time, from Nashville to Los Angeles.
"I have not heard anything. I'm sure it's not going further, but it's fun to entertain," Jana said. "I think we'd get eaten up and spit out, I get a lot hated on for the things I say, because I'm very sarcastic. I wouldn't want to filter myself too much. It seems like, once you're in, people are going to love you or hate you and I have a hard time with criticism … I don't know if I can physically handle that."
The couple's audition, which happened via a video call, occurred in late May.
Although she's heard radio silence from Bravo, current "Housewives" star Teddi Mellencamp-Arroyave told Jana the audition "went good."
Bravo typically doesn't comment on casting rumors.

Post Malone bought this 'gross' snack at convenience store
Post Malone had no issue getting bugged while at a Utah convenience store.
Salt Lake City's KUTV reported that employees at a 7-Eleven got a shock when the rapper suddenly walked into the store during the night shift last week. While the rapper's appearance was one thing, it was his purchase that really caused employees to gasp.

Lani Roberts, who owns the 7-Eleven, said Post bought a box of seasoned mealworms, something Lani simply described as "gross." Often times, dried mealworms — which is, by definition, insect larva — comes in different flavors and have the consistency of a light potato chip.
While there, Post snapped photos with employees at the store.

Post has been seen in the Salt Lake City area multiple times over the past few years, as he owns a home nearby.
In 2019, he purchased a 12,702 square foot mansion in Cottonwood Heights, a ritzy area of the city not far from many famed ski resorts. TMZ said he paid $3 million for the home, which includes five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a fire pit, basketball court, wine cellar, home gym and hot tub. Post was also said to be putting in a recording studio, an underground bunker and adding 30 bunk beds for his friends.
"Yes, he is here in the county. But, he is just on vacation. No, he is not performing at the high school game tonight or does he have any involvements with the game. He has asked that our office assist in stopping people (mostly kids) who are coming to where he is staying to visit him," the Morgan County Sheriff said in a Facebook post in 2018, prior to Post's mansion purchase. "If you see him out on the town feel free to say hello, he has been very kind and respectful to all who have talked to him. Our office will enforce those who want to trespass on the residence he is staying at, he is just a guy trying to enjoy his vacation. We just wanted to help stop some rumors we have heard!"
The high life
Matt Damon closes down Brooklyn street, uses crane to move into penthouse: Details
Stars just aren't like the rest of us. In 2018, Matt Damon and wife Luciana Barroso purchased a 6,000-square-foot penthouse in the Standish, a Beaux Arts building in New York's Brooklyn Heights neighborhood, for $16.5 million. It was, at the time, Brooklyn's most expensive apartment.

Now, he and his family are finally moving in. Page Six reported that the Oscar winner closed down an entire street on July 14 so he could begin the process of furnishing and landscaping his home. He brought in a huge crane that reached 14 stories high in order to lift furniture into his new apartment and hoist trees onto his outdoor terrace.
Many residents were not amused. "He closed off the street all day and parked an enormous big red crane right in the middle of the street," a local told Page Six. "There was no sign of Matt, but he had a huge team of contractors and there were shrubs, decking and huge crates filled with stuff going up in the air to the terrace. We were all waiting for the grand piano to be wheeled out."

According to the neighbor, locals have a nickname for Matt's building. "We call the building 'the Standoffish' because it is a little bit of Hollywood dumped in the middle of the more low-key Brooklyn Heights," the person told Page Six. "The lobby is all gold and marble, and the units have Austrian white oak flooring and Italian Carrara marble slab countertops."
According to the local, Hollywood stars Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly live there too. Matt's place sounds pretty spectacular. "[He] has a triplex penthouse on the 11th and 12th floors and the roof. It is the highest building in the neighborhood, so it has unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline, New York Harbor and the bridges," the local said.
Dream home
Jason Aldean and wife Brittany show off newly built mansion: Photos
A month ago, country music star Jason Aldean and wife Brittany moved into their custom-built dream home in Tennessee. And in recent days, the couple have been showing off new images of their forever home.

On July 12, Jason posted a picture of the front of their house, sharing that their lawn was finally growing in. "Grass on the farm is starting to come in and lookin good! The mowers and tractors we got from @gogreenwayequip are finally getting some use and coming in handy! 🚜. #nothinrunslikea🦌," he captioned the picture of the beautiful property.
On July 15, Brittany shared a photo of a blue crushed velvet bench in what appears to be their entryway. One day earlier, she shared a pic of a gray-and-blue-themed bedroom with an enormous quilted silver-gray fabric headboard, captioning it "☁️ It was all a dream☁️."
And on July 13, Brittany shared a snapshot with her dogs in their formal living room, which also features a white, blue and metallic theme and enormous chandeliers, plus a pic of their kitchen, which has tall white cabinetry and blue velvet chairs along the island.
In May, Jason told Taste of Country about a couple of the over-the-top amenities he wanted included in their custom build. "My old house had a bowling alley. I put a bowling alley in," he explained, adding, "It had a bar in it and it was just kind of like the man cave that I would go and watch football and stuff like that. That was something I used a ton." He also raved about his new pool. "And then the pool is pretty good too. It's kind of like the Sandals beach resort," he admitted. "We got a little carried away, I'll say that."
In June, Jason shared dozens of images of his new place — where he lives with Brittany, their kids Memphis and Navy, and his older daughter from his first marriage – on his Instagram Stories. Recent posts have revealed that the property also features a tiki bar, a cedar room to store Jason's hunting gear, an in-ground trampoline, an enormous outdoor fountain and a two-story walk-in closet for Brittany that has a white spiral staircase inside and custom-made shelving to accommodate her boot and shoe collection. On Instagram, she called it her "happy place." There's also a full mother-in-law suite that has its own kitchen and living space.
Earlier in 2020, Jason opened up about the build, which took about two years to complete, to PopCulture.com. "This is going to be our forever home. We put everything we had into this, and making sure it was something really cool, that we love living in," he explained.
"We actually want our backyard to look like a Corona [beer] commercial," he added. "We got big palm trees going in, in the backyard. We've got tiki bars, a pool; it's going to be stocked. We can actually, probably film one of these Corona commercials in my back yard once it's all fixed up."
The country star and his family love it. Though he has a summer home in Florida, the Tennessee place is "where we want to be from now on and kind of raise our kids," he told Taste of Country. "It's one of those things where I just said, 'I've worked hard over the years. If we're going to do this, let's build what we want, and not sit here in five years and go, 'Man, I wish he had done this or that.' We made sure we knew exactly what we wanted and when, and started building it."
Twitter attacks
Chrissy Teigen again blasts conspiracy linking her to Jeffrey Epstein
Chrissy Teigen is fed up with the thousands of tweets and trolls who've linked her to Jeffrey Epstein.
She's also scared.

On Tuesday, the "Lip Sync Battle" star unloaded on Twitter after a major purge of tweets. One of her haters felt it was suspicious that she deleted "over 28,000 tweets" this week, claiming without evidence that the Sports Illustrated model did so because of the recent arrest of Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
Chrissy felt the need to defend herself and correct the person.
"I actually deleted 60,000 tweets because I cannot f—ing STAND you idiots anymore and I'm worried for my family," she wrote. "Finding me talking about toddlers and tiaras in 2013 and thinking you're some sort of f—ing operative."

For months, an unfounded conspiracy theory has claimed that Chrissy's name appeared on Epstein's flight logs, something she has vehemently denied. The conspiracy has picked up steam since Ghislaine's arrest.
Some have argued that Chrissy's aggressive responses to the conspiracy indicate she's hiding something.
"This I don't get. everyone thinking I'm guilty because I'm defensive. You understand you are calling me a pedophile, correct?" she snapped at one user.
this I don't get. everyone thinking I'm guilty because I'm defensive. You understand you are calling me a pedophile, correct? https://t.co/QgOyRgMmLi
Unfortunately, she feels that the harassment will continue, even if it is proven that she husband John Legend have no connection to the Epstein case.
"We have nothing to do [with] this," she wrote. "I know for a fact it won't go away. They'll just think of another excuse. It is extremely disheartening. I don't know how to stop this. i don't think anyone quite gets it."
On Tuesday, the rapper posted an audio recording of herself talking to her son. A watermark over the audio, which she posted on Instagram, reads "Amethyst & Onyx." Iggy's real name is Amethyst Amelia Kelly, so fans were quick to figure out that she and Playboi Carti, whose real name Jordan Carter, named their son Onyx.
She captioned the audio recording, "Baby boyyyyyyy."
One person remarked on the post, "Your names go so well together omg." Iggy responded, "We besties forever."

Iggy announced on Instagram on June 10 that she had a son, news that came as a shock to many fans.
"I have a son," she wrote in a message to fans. "I kept waiting for the right time to say something but if feels like the more time passes the more I realize I'm always going to feel anxious to share news that giant with the world."
Of her baby boy, she added, "I want to keep his life private but wanted to make it clear he is not a secret & I love him beyond words."

Iggy's newest Instagram post comes amid rumors that she named her son Gilbert. She quickly put an end to that talk.
"I'm okay with y'all joking 'n all but let it be known I didn't name my child that. Lmao," she wrote, according to the Daily Mail.

Colin Jost remembers his first meeting with Scarlett Johansson
Colin Jost was smitten with Scarlett Johansson from the moment they first met — he's convinced that she can't say the same.

In his new memoir, "A Very Punchable Face," Colin recalls meeting his now-fiancée on the set of "Saturday Night Live." Scarlett was acting in a sketch he wrote parodying MTV's "My Super Sweet 16."
"She claims that she remembers thinking I was 'cute' but I know what I looked like and that's not the word I would have used. ('Shaggy' would have been more generous. 'Slovenly' would have been more accurate)," he writes. "I remember her being beautiful, smart, sweet, and intimidatingly sophisticated."
"And she had a grace and a smile that I've still never seen in any other human," he adds.

According to Page Six, Colin only briefly mentions the "Avengers" actress in his book, but he isn't shy about his feelings.
"I've met someone I love and who I feel more comfortable with than I ever have before," he writes.
Colin also thanks his lady love in his acknowledgments section.
"Thank you to Scarlett for being my first reader and for always protecting me from my worst instincts," he writes. "Remember that Mexican mask I tried to put in our living room? Thanks for stopping me from doing that."
Last year, Colin reportedly joked about marriage after taking the stage during a celiac disease research benefit.
"I'm getting married and it's such a crazy thing. … I was so scared of marriage for so long because every time I talked to someone who just got married or was about to get married, it's like, 'Oh my God, you got to do it… What could go wrong?'" he said. "Then you talk to someone who's been married for five years, and they're like, 'Don't rush into it… you have your whole life ahead of you. Don't have kids. They're the worst.'"
