Julie Chen Moonves is glad she said yes.

With her new audiobook But First, God out on Tuesday, the “Big Brother” host spoke with Et Canada’s Keshia Chanté and revealed why she initially turned down the reality show job.

“When I asked, ‘Will this prevent me from ever walking the halls of ’60 Minutes’?’ and I was told, ‘Yes.’ I said, ‘Well, thank you, then I’m not interested in this job.'”

“I turned it down because I was told, I was new at CBS News, I was only five months into working there, and I had dreams back then of becoming a ’60 Minutes’ correspondent,” she said. “So when they offered me ‘Big Brother’, I had a feeling if I host this, you know, strange sounding reality entertainment show, I don’t really think they’re going to want that same person being on ’60 Minutes’ as a correspondent.”

Julie Chen Moonves is turning the other cheek.

The former news anchor and host of “Big Brother” recently sat down with Et Canada’s Keshia Chanté to chat about her new audiobook But First, God, and talked about her 2018 exit from “The Talk”.

The cast of “Selling The Oc” are clearing up rumours.

Et Canada’s Keshia Chanté recently sat down with Oppenheim Group co-founder Jason Oppenheim and fellow cast members Tyler Stanaland, Alex Hall and Polly Brindle.

The reality stars took the opportunity to shut down speculation about a love triangle, which got going after the three were seen together only hours after Stanaland and actress Brittany Snow confirmed their separation last year.

“You’re always busy this season, though. No drama. How, Jason? How?” Chanté asked Oppenheim.

“I have to say, I do a pretty good job of avoiding it down here, but I still get the phone calls, like off camera,” he said. “There’s still just so much, like, collateral damage going on. But yeah, they carry a show all to themselves. So I just gotta be the boss.

There’s, unsurprisingly, going to be plenty of drama in “Selling The Oc” season 2.

Some of the cast recently chatted to Et Canada’s Keshia Chanté ahead of the “Selling Sunset” spinoff’s season 2 premiere on Sept. 8.

Brandi Marshall, Kayla Cardona, Alexandra Rose, Sean Palmieri, Gio Helou and Lauren Shortt teased an eventful upcoming season, with Chanté questioning who brought the most drama.

Palmieri and Cardona said Tyler Stanaland, who was previously married to Brittany Snow. It was reported the pair had finalized their divorce in July after tying the knot in March 2020.

Palmieri told us, “But it seems like the drama revolves around Tyler, like starting it in a way. But then, like, him being, like, ‘I don’t want to talk about it’ yet he’s doing it in front of everyone to see. It’s a very manipulative… I don’t know. I’ll keep [zips mouth].”

Keanu Reeves is making the most of his downtime.

The “John Wick” star was pictured chilling out on a yacht in the Italian island of Capri with his sister Kim this week.

Reeves was seen sporting a bushy beard while appearing to sip on a glass of rosé, as he soaked up the sun shirtless.

Later that day, the Canadian actor was seen on dry land as he cruised around town on a Vespa.

“When I heard Barbie, I was like, ‘What? What?’” Ferrera admitted. “But immediately knowing that, like, Greta was involved and that Margot was involved, I thought, ‘Oh, this is going to be amazing.’”

She explained that she knew off the bat it wasn’t going to be a “straightforward” movie about Barbie, and reading the script confirmed that to her.

“It made me laugh and it made me cry. And it was just so unexpected,” she recalled. “And I just loved the part that Greta was asking me to play, Gloria. Getting to be like the stand in for all of us,...

Et Canada’s Keshia Chanté recently sat down with “Barbie” stars Michael Cera, Issa Rae and Kate McKinnon and couldn’t help but bring up the movie’s Canadian connections.

Along with Cera, the movie also stars Canadians Ryan Gosling and Simu Liu, which led to the obvious question, which of his Canuck co-stars are the most Canadian?

“More Canadian… I mean, I don’t know. How do you qualify that?” Cera asked, to which Chanté joked, “I mean, you tell me. Poutine?”

Refusing to take a side, Cera, in very diplomatic and Canadian fashion, responded, “I think they’re both very proud Canadians. I don’t know. I would hate to make a make a judgement on that. I’d hate to be wrong.”

He added, “I’m sure there’s a right answer.

As “Barbie” fans get closer to the anticipated film’s big release, Margot Robbie and director, Greta Gerwig, chat about the making of the film and the different types of dynamics on set.

Gerwig told Et Canada’s Keshia Chanté that “the inception of the whole thing came from, I wanted to work with Margot, and I’ve been wanting to do something with her.

“Then she came to me and said, ‘I have the rights to Barbie as a producer and as an actor, and my company is going to make it, and we’re going to do it this way. Do you want to write it?’ And I was like, ‘Yes, yes,'” the filmmaker recalled.

“And if, you know, if you watch a movie, you’re like, what could those scenes be? It’s a lot.

Et Canada’s Keshia Chanté joined a conversation with Park and Cola to discuss the upcoming release of their chaotically explicit tale of friendship and family.

One scene which certainly leaves a mark depicts the cast disguising themselves as K-Pop stars, who perform a very different rendition of Cardi B’s “Wap”, to bypass airport security.

Chanté got down to business and asked the two leading ladies their K-Pop names.

“Sauce is a word that comes,” admitted Cola. “Spicy sauce. Spice.

Bebe Rexha still can’t believe she got the chance to work with Dolly Parton on the song “Seasons”.

It was the first tune Rexha wrote for her new album Bebe, which dropped Friday.

Rexha chatted to Et Canada’s Keshia Chanté in a recent interview, saying of whether the collab was a “pinch-me moment”: “I mean, Dolly Parton is an icon. She is not only one of my favourite artists, but one of my favourite songwriters. She wrote ‘I Will Always Love You’ by Whitney Houston, and she has her version as well.

“So I always looked up to Dolly Parton like wow, not only is she a bad b***h… like, she looks good, she can sing like crazy, but she’s writing all these incredible records and she’s also a boss. Like, she has Dollywood.

“She’s a producer… she’s a boss,” Rexha goes on.
