A number of stars were left unsettled by Friday night’s 7.1 earthquake, the second in two days in the Los Angeles area.
“That earthquake was intense,” wrote Nicki Minaj, one of several music artists who commented on the seismic event. She was also joined by a number of film and television celebrities including Henry Winkler, Busy Phillips, Kumail Nanjiani, Paris Jackson, Drake Bell, Kylie Jenner and Gabrielle Union as well as celebrity chef Jose Andres who is helping open a relief kitchen in the affected area.
“That earthquake was terrifying. Really thought it was the one,” wrote Nanjiani.
“To the residents of#Ridgecrest We are thinking of you during this incredibly stressful time…,” wrote Winkler.
The quake, which originated 11 miles outside of Ridge crest, is the largest in 20 years in Southern California and occurred just one day after Thursday’s 6.4 earthquake in the same area. While the earthquake did cause several instances of structural damage and fires, there were no reports of death or serious injury.
In Los Angeles, the earthquake halted rides at several amusement parks including Disneyland and Six Flags Magic Mountain in addition to causing a short lull in Friday night’s Dodgers game. However, rides quickly reopened Saturday morning.

Since I had a kid I've kept running shoes and water next to my bed and also in my car. The running shoes had never occurred to me before, I guess? I think it's a good thing to do, is what I'm saying, even if you don't have a kid. Also. I bought those earthquake kits from Amazon.

The earthquake hit while we were performing Mysterious Circumstances, @GeffenPlayhouse. We stopped and rocked and rolled for a bit. When it was done the audience gave a huge round of applause. It was the most joyous and unearned ovation I've ever received – that I know of.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's son just hit a new milestone in Royal life ... becoming a Christian under the Church of England ... even though nobody really got to see it happen.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex held a closed-door christening Saturday morning for baby Archie in the Private Chapel at Windsor Castle, where only about 25 people were reportedly in attendance for the intimate ceremony. They snapped this pic afterward.
It's the whole family here pretty much -- sans Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip -- with Meghan and Harry front and center, and Archie on mommy's lap.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Check out the mug on the baby BTW -- it's the first time we're seeing the kid's face in full view since he was born, and lo and behold ... the 2-month-old is absolutely adorable.
As for other details, the Royals have been pretty tight-lipped -- only saying in their announcement, "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are so happy to share the joy of this day with members of the public who have been incredibly supportive since the birth of their son. They thank you for your kindness in welcoming their first born and celebrating this special moment."
A rep added, "Their Royal Highnesses feel fortunate to have enjoyed this day with family and the godparents of Archie." No word on ID of godfather -- keepin' it in the family, it seems.
And, if you were wondering about the christening wear of the child, the Royals explained that too, saying it's actually a replica of a traditional gown that's been worn by royal infants for 11 years. Of course, the Royals are all about tradition ... in religion and otherwise.
One last fun fact -- the guy who handled Archie's christening -- Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby -- is the same dude who baptized Meg before she got hitched with Harry. She was already raised Christian, but it never hurts to make things official.
Ditto for Archie ... congrats!!!
British police have traveled to the U.S. to interview Kevin Spacey about sexual assault allegations.
The Metropolitan Police is investigating six claims of sexual assault and assault against the former "House of Cards" star, who ran London's Old Vic Theatre between 2004 and 2015.
Variety reported Saturday that British detectives interviewed Spacey in May.
KEVIN SPACEY SEX ASSAULT ACCUSER TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS
British police don't identify suspects until they have been charged. Without naming Spacey, the London force said that in May "a man was voluntarily interviewed under caution in America by officers from the Met's Complex Case Team. He was not arrested. Inquiries are ongoing."
"Under caution" means the interview was recorded and can be used in future prosecutions.
Spacey's attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
KEVIN SPACEY ACCUSER ANTHONY RAPPS HOPES HE'S 'CHANGED THE CULTURE' AFTER COMING FORWARD
In the United States, a young man who says Spacey groped him in a Nantucket bar in 2016 dropped his lawsuit against the two-time Academy Award winner this week. Spacey still faces a criminal charge over the alleged incident and pleaded not guilty to indecent assault and battery in January.
In 2017, American actor Anthony Rapp alleged that Spacey, who is now 59, had climbed on top of him on a bed when Rapp was 14 and Spacey 26.

After Rapp's allegation the Old Vic conducted an investigation into its former leader. It said it had received 20 allegations of inappropriate behavior by Spacey, and had encouraged 14 of the complainants to go to the police.
Actor Kevin Spacey has been questioned in the US by the Metropolitan Police over sex assault allegations in the UK, according to Variety magazine.
Variety said Scotland Yard detectives travelled to the US in May to interview the Oscar-winner under caution.
He faces six allegations of sexual assault in the UK between 1996 and 2013. Police said he was voluntarily interviewed - he was not arrested.
Spacey faces a number of sexual assault allegations, which he denies.
While the Metropolitan Police did not name Spacey, a spokeswoman said: "In May 2019, a man was voluntarily interviewed under caution in America, by officers from the Met's Complex Case Team.
"He was not arrested. Inquiries are ongoing."
Spacey, 59, was artistic director at London's The Old Vic theatre between 2004 and 2015.
The latest development emerged a day after a man who claimed Spacey groped him in the US in 2016 dropped his civil case.
The unnamed man had been seeking unspecified damages over Spacey's alleged "explicit sexual behaviour" at a Nantucket bar.
Spacey still faces a criminal charge in the US and pleaded not guilty to indecent assault and battery in January.
Overall, Spacey has faced allegations of sexual assault from more than 30 men.
The first allegation came from the actor Anthony Rapp in November 2017.
Mr Rapp claimed Spacey had made sexual advances to him in 1986 when he was 14 years old and Spacey was 26.
Mr Spacey claimed to have no memory of the events, but publicly apologised. He has since issued an "absolute" denial of the other allegations that later emerged.
