For *The Vampire Diaries* creatives, casting Enzo was a particularly difficult task. Because originally, the role was going to be very different.

"You were supposed to be the third Salvatore brother," executive producer Julie Plec tells star Michael Malarkey in episode 8 of *EW's Binge: The Vampire Diaries*. Writer Brett Matthews adds, "That was always the plan, and then it went a different direction, but that's why it was so hard to find the person. We thought it was going to be a Salvatore brother, so we cast a very wide net [and] looked very hard." Ultimately, they scrapped that plan and made it so Enzo didn't share Salvatore blood, but he was a brother figure for Damon (Ian Somerhalder) for many years (and he was sired by Lily Salvatore).

But that wasn't the only plan that changed in the writers' room over the years. In discussing the *Vampire Diaries*' final season, Plec and Matthews recall the final major debate: Which Salvatore were they going to kill in the series finale? "We went back and forth in the writers' room all season long," Plec says. "We finally landed on: We're killing Damon. That's the right thing to do. He is the one with the consequence to pay. Stefan was morally a bit stronger of a character."

Matthews adds, "Damon's a fairly obvious choice," noting that the writers really fell in love with the idea of Damon compelling Stefan (Paul Wesley) to let him die. But when executive producer Kevin Williamson proposed that it should be Stefan that dies, they started to rethink their plan. "It felt like dying for Stefan freed him from a lot of weight, whereas it felt like living for Damon freed him to go and be the man that he was always supposed to be," Plec says.

Of course, both Salvatores were meant to die in the original ending Plec and Williamson came up with during the show's second season. In that ending, "The boys would sacrifice themselves to save Elena so that Elena could go and have a life and be human and live," Plec recalls during the podcast. "To save her, they would die together, and that was always the pitch. And then when Nina [Dobrev] left, it felt like the show can't be as much about protecting Elena's happiness, although that's important to us, but we want to protect the bothers' happiness, we want them to get something out of this. Then it shifted to: We can't kill both of them for her because that feels somehow like nobody got what they wanted. Let's find a different way to give one of these brothers the happiness that they need and the other brother the closure that they need."

(One other way Dobrev leaving changed the plan? Plec says, "I thought that by the time we came back to the end of the series, whenever it was, that Elena would've found her way back to Stefan and Damon would've found a different path.")

- Shawn and Marlon Wayans playfully confronted Whoopi Goldberg on *The View* after they said they called to see if she would appear in the latest *Scary Movie *installment*.*

- "We called you. We wanted you," Marlon said.

- "Next time," Goldberg replied at the Hot Topics table.

Shawn and Marlon Wayans had hoped to say "wazzup" to Whoopi Goldberg on the set of Scary Movie — but, as the writer-producers of the satirical film series revealed Thursday on *The View*, Goldberg declined a cameo in the newest installment.

The brothers appeared on the live talk show to promote *Scary Movie*'s Friday release, and fielded a question from the cohosts about which stars they wanted — but ultimately didn't get — for cameos in the movie.

The pair said that they reached out to rapper Cardi B, though her cameo ultimately didn't happen, while Goldberg turned to them to ask, "Anybody I know?"

Shawn replied, "She's talking about her!" while Goldberg turned toward the audience and flashed a wink.

"We called you, we wanted you!" Marlon maintained, while Shawn asked, "You didn't get our call, Whoopi?"

Shawn then turned toward his brother, reminding him that they had a particular scene in mind that the Oscar-winning *Ghost* actress.

Anna Faris plays Cindy and Regina Hall plays Brenda in Scary Movie from Paramount Pictures.

"I hung up before I realized it was you. Oh, snap!" Goldberg joked, before telling the filmmaking duo that she'd entertain the thought of a cameo the "next time" they call if *Scary Movie* gets another sequel.

Shawn and Marlon re-teamed for the latest chapter in their hit comedy series, which they initially departed after 2001's *Scary Movie 2.*

Longtime series stars Anna Faris and Regina Hall also returned for the sixth film in the series, after they, too, sat out for 2013's *Scary Movie 5.*

As part of* ***'s cover story on their return to the series, Faris and Hall explained why they didn't return for *Scary Movie 5* as Cindy Campbell and Brenda Meeks, respectively.

"One of the big things too for us, always, we always felt like if the other is there, we could do it. That's what happened in the *Scary Movie* before this. We both didn't do it," Hall told EW, confirming that they wouldn't do the film if the other didn't reprise her role, too. "I was like, if we both don't do it, it doesn't feel right to have one without the other. They're like a Laverne and Shirley of their day."

Over the course of its eight seasons, *The Vampire Diaries*' mythology changed every now and then to fit a certain story. But in its seventh season, the show delivered its biggest change from its established mythology when, suddenly, Caroline (Candice King) became pregnant via a magical transfer. Even though she was a vampire, she was somehow carrying Alaric (Matthew Davis) and Jo's (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) twins.

The twist was something the writers thought up as a way to soften the tragedy at the end of season 6 when Kai (Chris Wood) killed Jo and her unborn children—on her wedding day, no less. "We had always left that [story thread] hanging on instinct," writer Neil Reynolds says during episode 7 of *EW's Binge: The Vampire Diaries*.

Executive producer Julie Plec adds, "Because of the tragedy of the twins and Jo dying and looking for story for Alaric for the season, we had separately come up with the story of the woman who knocks on his door and is like, 'I think I'm pregnant with your babies.'" But the writers weren't sure if that twist was *too* crazy, so they didn't originally plan to go there. Until star Candice King called to let them know she was pregnant. "I was very nervous to make that call," King says on the podcast.

Ultimately, the writers decided to work in King's pregnancy and use the aforementioned story, only instead of a random woman showing up pregnant, Caroline would carry Ric's kids. Plec remembers warning CW president Mark Pedowitz about "the most bananas thing" she was ever going to pitch him at the time, but surprisingly, he wasn't fazed. And thus Caroline's pregnancy became part of the series and will always go down as one of the show's most unexpected turns.

- Whoopi Goldberg criticized her *Ghost* costar Demi Moore's recent remarks about AI.

- *The View* played a clip that highlighted Moore's divisive comments about AI at Cannes, alongside other footage of Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston.

- "I don't like being pushed," Goldberg said at the Hot Topics table.

Artificial intelligence? You're in danger, girl.

From her post at the head of *The View*'s Hot Topics table, Whoopi Goldberg has criticized a recent wave of celebrities who've urged others to embrace the rise of AI — including her *Ghost* costar Demi Moore.

After the daytime talk show played Thursday morning a clip of several stars urging others to embrace understanding AI — including Moore, Reese Witherspoon, and Jennifer Aniston — Goldberg staunchly stood against anyone pushing others to endorse AI if they're not ready to.

Goldberg summarized the topic with help from a new article in *The Cut*, which she said included a "warning against the way prominent female entrepreneurs and entertainers are urging women to embrace the new technology," before playing a clip of Moore saying at Cannes in May that "to fight [AI] is, in a sense, to fight something that is a battle that we will lose" in Hollywood.**

The EGOT winner — who scored her Oscar for her role opposite Moore in the 1990 hit *Ghost* — confirmed that she doesn't use AI at all.

"I go out and I talk to people, and I do stuff that I understand. I understand when something comes in like a car and a horseless carriage. It's great and it isn't great," the 70-year-old said. "I don't want anybody telling me that I have to lean in to keep up with her. I need what I need, and I'm going to find the way that I need to get in there. This rush to push? I don't like being pushed the way I feel like I'm being pushed, because people want us to get on top of it."

Goldberg maintained that, "You should've pushed me two years ago when you first started really looking at it and realizing this was something I needed to do. So, in my own time, I will get to it. It's great for us, and it's not great for us. It's like the internet."

** has reached out to Moore's representatives for comment.

Goldberg's criticism came over a year after the *Ghost* stars reunited at the 2025 Oscars, where Moore was lauded with her first Best Actress nomination for her critically celebrated turn in the body-horror hit *The Substance*.

Earlier in *The View* discussion, cohost and legal expert Sunny Hostin said she's a hardcore AI user, and joked that she has her "Ph. D in ChatGPT" and that her "therapist" and "marital counselor" is ChatGPT.**** "I think AI is a learning technology, and it is as stupid as it will ever be right now, so now is the time to get on board and learn how to use it," Hostin, 57, said, though 63-year-old guest cohost and tech journalist Kara Swisher pushed back, telling her that "men are making all the rules about it" and to be cautious as a result.

Goldberg has long warned *The View* audience about AI, including when she warned viewers about the Amazon Alexa device during a 2023 live show.

"You know she is listening. I don't want her in the house," Goldberg said at the time. "I don't want anything that is smart enough to lock me out of my house, I don't want anything that won't let me drive my car. When you watch science fiction, it's right there. They tell you: this is the future."

Other stars have also weighed in on the rise of AI, including Sandra Bullock, who recently said that Hollywood will eventually “have to lean into” AI in a series of comments that drew criticism from many, with singer Dionne Warwick eventually mocking Bullock's words in a social media post.

- Sharon Stone has revealed a horrifying physical attack left her severely injured 10 years later.

- The actress said she's not "at liberty" to reveal who she thinks attacked her, though she said she's "quite certain" who did.

- "I did not want that to be my legacy," she said of not taking the incident to court.

Oscar-nominated actress Sharon Stone has opened up about a horrifying physical attack that she said left her internal organs "fractured and scarred" 10 years after the alleged incident occurred.

The 68-year-old *Basic Instinct* icon and recent *Euphoria* season 3 star revealed details of the alleged attack for the first time on a recent episode of David Begnaud's *The Person Who Believed in Me* podcast (below), during which she recounted the incident.

"I don't know how much I can tell about this. I was hit from behind," Stone said on the episode. "I didn't really know until 10 years later what had happened to me, because I woke up. I was unconscious on the floor. The two couches were sideways, the coffee table was all over the place, it was sort of upside-down, everything that had been on the coffee table was all over the floor, and I didn't know how I got there."

Stone said that she sought treatment for neck and shoulder issues a decade later, and, at a clinic in Marina Del Rey, Calif., she was given propofol while the medical team did X-rays on her upper body.

"The doctor came in and he was like, 'We're not going to be able to do this surgery,'" remembered Stone. "He was like, 'Your thoracic ribcage is all fractured and scarred back together. It's clear that you were attacked, and that what happened to you was a felony and we have to report it to the police and to everyone.'"

Stone said that the doctor urged her to report it as well, because "there's a protocol" to follow, and that she had a panic attack in the hospital after the doctor finished speaking.

"He got on his knees, and I think he thought I thought he was threatening. He was like, 'I'm small,' and he got down on his knees [and said] 'No one will hurt you,'" Stone recalled. "Because I was on propofol, they were able to take me back through the incident and help me understand what had happened to me."

When pressed on who attacked her, Stone replied, "I'm not going to say publicly, but I am going to say that we did report and we did do everything," and added that she "had the opportunity to press charges. Because it had been a decade and because I'm a public figure, I decided not to."

She maintained that she's "quite certain who did it" to her, but added that she "would've had a hard time in court a decade later" attempting to litigate the incident.

"I'm quite sure that I had enough circumstantial evidence to make sort of a case, but I did not want that to be my legacy," Stone admitted. When Begnaud asked Stone if the incident was "domestic violence," she replied, "I'm not at liberty to say."

Stone said in the episode that she was married at the time of the incident and that her husband was involved in other medical treatment at the time. Though she didn't name him outright in this portion of the podcast, she noted that her spouse at the time was a powerful figure in journalism. Stone was married to investigative reporter Phil Bronstein from 1998 to 2004.****** has reached out to Stone for comment. EW has additionally attempted to contact Bronstein for comment.

Stone also opened up on the podcast about her decision to have a mastectomy amid her diagnosis with a massive tumor.

"One of them was bigger than the size of my entire left breast," Stone said on the show. "And the doctor had come out to my house and said, 'Look, we think you should have a bilateral mastectomy. This is really bad. And we usually, when they're all the way up into here, we know before we go in that they're cancer.'"

Stone said that, in her estimation, "that was the end of the marriage." "That was it. He was done with me then. It was over," she added.

The *Casino* actress maintained that "it was just over in the room. You could just tell. It was over. It was just over. He thought I was ridiculous. He thought it was foolish. He thought I was making too many decisions myself."

Saints quarterbacks have had to look out for dangerous defensive backs like Deion Sanders and Rod Woodson over the years, but who's on top of the leaderboard?
