Christopher Meloni jokes about viral pic of his derriere

Christopher Meloni was trending on social media recently, but it had nothing to do with his career. It was because of his, well, behind.

The "Law & Order: Organized Crime" star wasn't the butt of the jokes, but Twitter definitely had a heyday. Likewise, the actor played along.

Christopher's derriere became a topic of online conversation after a photo of him rocking some very tight pants landed on Twitter.

"SVU is filming in park slope this week and someone in the neighborhood facebook group posted this photo of chris meloni," someone tweeted, later joking the show should be renamed "Special Thicctims Unit."

A fan later asked Chris directly if he wanted to "explain" why he had "so much cake," referring to his posterior.

"Sure – big birthday(60), big boy(200 lbs), big cake," he hilariously replied.

A fan later asked Chris why he was trending on Twitter. "The other Melonis are trending, not me," he joked back.

Still, fans continued to thirst over the photo.

"How does one man have at least six men worth of butt in his pants," one person said. Another added, "What in the melon section of the supermarket is happening here." A Vice reporter humorously tweeted, "Can someone give him my email address it's… for… work."

Funnily enough, this isn't the first time fans have been enthralled with Chris' backside. While chatting with Conan O'Brien in 2014, the Emmy winner joked that he has the "best [butt] in primetime."

Twitter is clearly trying to get to the bottom of this story.

On hold

Question of a second conservatorship raised after Amanda Bynes psychiatric episode in L.A.

Amanda Bynes was placed on psychiatric hold after being found naked and alone while roaming the streets in downtown Los Angeles earlier this week. Still, despite the troubling incident, another parent-helmed conservatorship isn't likely in the works. 

TMZ reported that Amanda was nude when she waved down a car in the early morning hours of Sunday, March 19, and informed the driver that she was coming off of a psychotic episode. She then called police herself.

After being taken to a nearby police station, the former "Hairspray" actress was placed on a psychiatric hold in a hospital. A typical psychiatric hold lasts 72 hours, but they can go longer. 

Amanda was not hurt during the episode, which went down in a potentially dangerous part of L.A.

The "Easy A" alum has led a turbulent life. In October 2014, she landed in a treatment center after lashing out at her father on social media, shoplifting and DUI. The previous year — following an involuntary psychiatric hold, which came after she set off a small fire on a neighbor's driveway — Amanda spent time in a psychiatric hospital and then lived with her parents for several months. Her mom, Lynn, was named her conservator back in 2014.

Also in 2014, she was kicked out of fashion school for her troubling behavior: Other students accused her of attending classes with sunglasses on while high on weed, of paying others to finish her homework and of blatantly cheating off of classmates during tests.

In October 2015, she was allowed to return to the school, and in 2019, she finally graduated.

Since then, Amanda has largely cleaned up her life, and a judge terminated her conservatorship on March 22, 2022. TMZ reported on March 21, 2023, that a second conservatorship isn't off the table, but isn't likely. Amanda's parents are taking solace in the fact that the former actress recognized she was in trouble when she flagged down a car and notified police herself.

Prior to the episode, Amanda had been living independently in her own house and taking cosmetology classes.

Farewell... again

Cameron Diaz reportedly quitting acting again after on-set drama

Cameron Diaz is reportedly throwing in the towel on her acting career again.

The actress is set to make her film return opposite Jamie Foxx in Netflix's "Back in Action," but her acting comeback will be one and done. The "Charlie's Angels" star is finding it difficult to be away from her 3-year-old daughter, Raddix.

"These back-to-back 10-hour workdays have been a lot on her and she hates being away from Raddix," a source close to Cam told the Daily Mail on Monday, March 21. "Cameron loves being a mom more than anything in the world."

Cameron hasn't completely been away from her family.

"Although she has gotten to see her family while shooting the film, it is just not the same," the insider claimed, adding that her time on set has apparently "been a lot on" her husband, Benji Madden

"Back in Action,", which is being filmed in London, is set to be Cameron's return to acting after essentially retiring nearly a decade ago. The actress' last film was 2014's "Annie," which coincidentally also starred Jamie.

The set has apparently not been without its drama. The Sun claimed last week that Jamie had a "meltdown" that resulted in the firing of several crew members. 

"There have been some issues on set and Jamie has had a major meltdown over it all," a source said. "He demanded the problems be sorted immediately and [fired] four of the production staff — as if that would magically improve the situation."

Those supposedly canned included an executive producer, an assistant director, a unit director and Jamie's driver. 

"Some people working on it are totally fed up with how this has played out and Jamie has become pretty unpopular," the source added.

The Sun added that the film is "in chaos." However, the Daily Mail insider said the tantrum had nothing to do with Cam's decision to return to the Hollywood sideline. The source would be "incredibly surprised if it caused any tension between Jamie and Cameron."

"Cameron is a businessperson and understands that this is necessary at times and, honestly, Jamie is the only reason that she is doing this film and they are still very close," the Mail source said, adding that Cameron "hates" the "drama and confrontation" that comes with working in Hollywood.

"This is why she retired from the business in the first place," the source explained. "She has already proven herself in the industry and has nothing left to prove to anyone."

Living situation

Bruce Willis' current wife addresses report that Demi Moore is now living with them to help care for the actor after his dementia diagnosis

Demi Moore is sharing the same roof with her ex-husband, Bruce Willis, and his current wife, Emma Heming, according to a new report. A source told RadarOnline.com on March 8, "Demi has moved in, and she is not leaving until the very end."

However, later in the day, Bruce's wife, Emma Heming, denied it. "Let's nip this one in the bud. This is so dumb. Please stop," she wrote on her Instagram Story.

Bruce and Demi, who were married for 13 years and share three children, have had a close relationship for years. 

"At first no one outside the family could understand what Demi was doing living with her ex and his new wife, but now it makes sense," the source told Radar. "Demi has been a rock for the family and is determined to make sure every day Bruce has left on earth will be filled with love."

Last March, Bruce's family announced that the "Pulp Fiction" star was retiring due to Aphasia, a condition that affects a person's ability to communicate — to speak, write and understand language. Then, last month, the family announced that he has been diagnosed with dementia — this in addition to his battle with aphasia. 

"Now Bruce will leave before [Demi] does," the source claimed.

On Sunday, March 5, Emma issued a PSA about her husband after seeing paparazzi images of him getting coffee with friends. 

"If you are someone who is looking after someone who has dementia, you know how difficult and how stressful it can be, just to get them out into the world and navigate them safely – even just to get a cup of coffee," she said. "In the spirit of raising awareness for dementia, it's clear that a lot of education needs to be put forth."  

Emma continued by pleading with paparazzi to give Bruce his "space" if they see him out and about. 

"Allow for our family or whoever is with him that day to get him from point A to point B safely," she said. 

TV return?

Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes 'aggressively pitching' Ellen producers on new show

Former "GMA3" co-hosts Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes are hoping to openly showcase their love on TV.

The duo is "aggressively pitching" a show to the producers behind "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," an insider tells Page Six, adding Amy and T.J. "welcome ongoing coverage" of their relationship.

"It's easier for them to pitch a show if they stay in the news, and they think they're rock stars. They're selling their chemistry," the source said.

Amy and T.J. are still going strong amid a tumultuous few months. On Nov. 30, 2022, DailyMail.com published a bombshell story alleging that the duo — who were both married to other people at the time — had evolved their friendship into a romantic relationship many months earlier. In the wake of the scandal, ABC pulled both Amy and T.J. off the air on Dec. 5 while the network's president figured out next steps, and nearly two months later on Jan. 27, 2023, both were let go. 

"After several productive conversations … about different options, we all agreed it's best for everyone that they move on from ABC News," an ABC News spokesperson said.

Both T.J. and Amy have split from their respective spouses and haven't hidden their blossoming relationship, having been photographed in New York, Los Angeles, Miami and Mexico. Still, despite their love tour, the couple really wants to be together in front of the camera again. 

"They absolutely believe that their chemistry would sell, because it sold at ABC," the insider said. While at ABC, Amy and T.J. "sold this brother/sister chemistry. Now, they're selling sex," the source said. 

The couple is using another real-life duo as their on-air inspiration, the source continued, claiming Amy and T.J. are "pitching a show a la Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos." The insider noted that the couple received packages from ABC after their axing, but they have to work eventually.

"Whatever deal they got from ABC is not going to sustain them," the source stated.

Mea culpa

Brooke Shields apologized to college beau Dean Cain decades after romance

Brooke Shields dated Dean Cain decades ago, but she still feels bad about the way she treated the actor during their romance. 

While chatting with People magazine, the actress gushed over her college relationship with the "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman" star, calling him "beautiful" and "mouthwatering." However, because Brooke — who called herself the "most famous virgin in the world" — was sexualized early on in films, she couldn't really let herself go with him.

"We had a great relationship, broke up, got back together again after three years. And that should have been a delicious time for me of reveling in it and feeling proud and free because I was in love," she said. "But it was as if I was just paralyzed from shame, thinking everybody was going to know, thinking of letting my fans down because I had professed one thing."

Brooke has previously said she lost her virginity to Dean, eventually.

"He just was so loyal and loving and just so in love. And I did not make it easy," she told People.

After having years to reflect on the romance, Brooke realized she owed Dean an apology for not enjoying the moment more. And, she did apologize to him "a few years back."

"I said, 'I'm sorry for you, and I'm really sorry for me,' " she remembers.

Not buying it

Former 'Housewives' star raises conspiracy theory about 'Vanderpump' affair

"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" alum Teddi Mellencamp thinks there's something a little inauthentic about the "Vanderpump Rules" cheating scandal.

In fact, Teddi wonders if her former friend Lisa Vanderpump orchestrated the whole thing behind the scenes to boost ratings for the Bravo show.

"She probably paid Raquel [Leviss] to do this," Teddi said, referring to the cheating scandal involving "Vanderpump Rules" stars Tom Sandoval and Raquel.

The former "Housewives" star said on an episode of Melissa Gorga's "On Display" podcast that "nobody cared" about Lisa's show "until now."

"I think [Lisa] wants the best for herself, as I would, as well," Teddi said. "You guys wouldn't? You want your shows to tank?"

Teddi even went on to "guarantee" that Raquel will be "engaged and pregnant within a year," which only increases interest. 

On March 1, news broke that Ariana Madix dumped Tom, her boyfriend of nearly 10 years, after discovering he'd been cheating on her with Raquel, their "Vanderpump" costar. Tom and Raquel has apologized for the scandal.

Lisa appeared on "Watch What Happens Live" last week to discuss the scandal and defend her costars. 

"Actually, I really want to talk about this because this kind of vigilante justice I don't agree with at all," she said, referring to backlash and even death threats being lobbed at Tom and Raquel. "I think these are people that are living their life in a public forum, which is very difficult. There's so much infidelity in the world. It's not like they murdered anyone."

Lisa added, "I'm not saying we should let them off the hook. Condemn their actions, but don't condemn the people. All this aggression … it can have serious ramifications. I really mean that. I think everybody should be careful with that. I don't like it and I don't want to see it."
