It's April 7th. Welcome to Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI and packed with headlines. Dax Shepard hid back at the backlash over his wife Kristen Bell's anniversary post on his armchair expert podcast, This April 6th. The couple celebrated 12 years married, last October 17th, with Bell sharing a quote from Shepard, joking he would never kill her despite. Heavy incentives, inspired by a date line episode, fans called it out of touch. The post went viral quick, hitting during domestic violence awareness month and drawing heat for seeming to downplay real dangers women face. Plenty of reactions poured in, from outrage listeners saying it minimized abuse to the official date line Instagram account just dropping. Screenshot it in the comments. Shepard's own mom even called to check on him, but it turned out she was reacting to his earlier offer to pay for freezing their daughter's ex at 18. He also shut down media spin on his chat with Cher, where she called him lucky to have Bell, insisting no awkwardness or offense there at all.

Their daughters Lincoln and Delta keep the family grounded through the noise, and if you need help with domestic violence, hit the hotline at 8. 107-997-233, or text start to 8-8-7-8-8. Shepard's keeping your real as always.
