Grey’s Anatomy Looks To the Future

Greys-Anatomy-Returns-Variety-Cover

-Variety interviewed the women of Grey’s Anatomy about the show’s upcoming 17th season, and they talked about the possibility that this might be its last. Ellen Pompeo has a few more months before she decides whether she wants to continue, and said she knows the show will likely end when she leaves. “I don’t take the decision lightly. We employ a lot of people, and we have a huge platform.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez covers the new issue of Vanity Fair, and talks about how she warned Rep. Ted Yoho to watch himself after he called her a “fucking bitch” on the steps of Capitol Hill. She found him the next day and told him, “You do that to me again, I won’t be so nice next time” — and she lived up to that promise when he brought it up on the House floor.

-IMDb has taken down user ratings for David Oyelowo and Angelina Jolie‘s upcoming film Come Away after it became the target of a review bombing campaign, mostly because it’s a prequel to Alice in Wonderland and a bunch of racists got mad that the kid actors they cast aren’t white.

-Us Weekly says Brad Pitt and Nicole Poturalski have been “over for a while now.” But were they every really together?

Sacha Baron Cohen did a Reddit Q&A in character last night and it was as filthy as you’d expect.

Machine Gun Kelly says Megan Fox has made him a better person, and that he was “coked out of my mind and in a drunken stupor” before meeting her. No pressure, girl.

-Despite the rumours that she’s dating Skepta, Adele is calling herself a single cat lady.

-There’s been whispers for a while about Diplo, but he’s denying a relationship with a 19-year-old TikTok star after she said she lives with him. He tweeted, “OK so I rent one of my properties to @quenblackwell. And yes I use the studio that is in that building. Her social media is sarcastic and chaotic and I can see you can get a twisted idea but there is nothing but a friendship between us.”

-I couldn’t find a source for all of these Emma Watson/Tom Felton rumours going around, but I’m into it.

-Bless Lizzo for dropping off her ballot while wearing a stars-and-stripes bustier.

Khloé Kardashian contracted the novel coronavirus earlier this year and described her symptoms in a new sneak peek of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

-I always forget that Sarah Jessica Parker has kids because she’s so (admirably) private about it. Her tribute to her son on his 18th birthday was very sweet.

Sam Smith has hair plugs and they don’t care who knows about it.

-Netflix’s holiday rom-com Holidate, which drops on Friday, is actually getting decent reviews? I mean, I was going to watch the crap out of it either way, but that’s nice.

Diane Keaton and Jeremy Irons and star in the Love, Weddings & Other Disasters trailer.

Prince Harry and Megan Markle’s Toronto Debut

Prince Harry and Megan Markle were strolling through a park holding hands near my office, and I’m not gonna lie — for a sec I considered going for a lil creepin’ coffee break. But there are so many new pictures of the two of them coming out today, I really didn’t need to.  Her ripped jeans was a bit of a surprise; I wonder how her style is going to change after she marries into the pantyhose family?

George Clooney did an interview with the Daily Beast and let loose about politics. Some choice quotes: “Steve Bannon is a pussy,” “Hollywood elite? I don’t have a star on Hollywood Boulevard, Donald Trump has a star on Hollywood Boulevard! Fuck you!,” and “It was frustrating because I never saw [Hilary Clinton] elevate her game. I never saw it.” The more he talks about politics and the more he begins answers with “if I was President of the United States,” the more I wonder what his future plans are.

-I kind of love that Idina Menzel just keeps marrying her Rent costars...

-Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino has a show about to drop on Amazon called The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and the early buzz is great. No wonder they just locked her and her husband down for a multi-year deal. I’m guessing that means more GG episodes aren’t happening though?

-What is Paramount Network and how can I watch Taylor Kitsch as David Koresh in their six-part Waco mini-series?

-Some Ain’t It Cool News contributors have stepped down in wake of Harry Knowles allegations (which he denies).

-Disney developing a Cyrano the Moor musical from Moonlight writer Tarell Alvin McCraney, starring David Oyelowo. Man, I like ALL of those words!

-Goddammit, why do they keep giving Greg Berlanti new shows? He’s currently juggling 10(!) projects.  I like his joints well enough (though I think the quality has gone way down on most — probably because he’s spread too thin), but is there not any fresh blood in Hollywood?

Chris Pratt did a “which famous Chris are you” quiz — and did not get Chris Pratt.

Mandy Moore had an engagement party and Minka Kelly documented the whole thing on Instagram.

-Pretty Little Liars is getting a Mona-based spinoff. Makes sense.

-It’ll be interesting to see what happens to the new Star Trek. It debuted strong last night on CBS with 9.6 million viewers, but now it moves to a subscription-only model in the US.  I thought it was ok but I’m not sure if I’m going to keep up with it — which is way easier to do here because it airs on regular TV. I can’t imagine many people outside of a niche audience are going to pay for CBS All Access for just one show.

-Here’s the new trailer for Angelina Jolie’s First They Killed My Father, which is getting good reviews.

-The Barden Bellas are back aca-at it again in this trailer for Pitch Perfect 3. “Pick up your tits” might be my new catchphrase.

Britney Spears Does Carpool Karaoke

-The Britney Spears edition of Carpool Karaoke was a whole lot of not good at the beginning, but she eventually warmed up (and actually even singed a bit at the end). Even if James Corden was doing all the heavy lifting (and bless him for trying so hard), it’s still nice to see her looking happy. So much so that I didn’t even care that she said “supposably.”

Jennifer Aniston has revealed that she suffers from dry eye syndrome. Plan your prayer circles accordingly.

Taylor Swift is skipping out on this weekend’s VMAs. Considering Kanye West is being given 4 minutes of unfiltered air time, it’s not necessarily a bad decision on her part.

-I don’t watch CBS’ Zoo (because, um, it’s CBS’s Zoo), but Uproxx’s explainer about all the batshit crazy stuff that’s happening on that show is a thing of beauty.

-The new Empire promo only shows about 2 seconds of Mariah Carey, and yet it’s enough to make me wonder if I should start watching…

Reese Witherspoon did her first Facebook live yesterday and when asked which movie of hers she’d like to follow up, she said: “If Disney wants to make a sequel, call me. I would happily make ‘Sweet Home Alabama 2.'” God, please make this happen. My friends and I quote “You have a baby. In a bar.” to each other at least once a week.

Justin Theroux figured out Emily Blunt was pregnant on the Girl On The Train set when he tried to pressure her into doing stunts.

-My entire Twitter TL became obsessed today about whether or not Rihanna can wink, and I was living for it.

-I really like that Stephen Colbert is releasing behind-the-scene clips from his show when he takes questions from the studio audience. This story about the craziest thing that ever happened to him is precious.

Kerry Washington and Jimmy Kimmel tapped into horror of group texts. We’ve all been there.

-Gotta give props to Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender, who managed to deflect questions in this interview about their personal lives in a pretty charming way.

-This is some pretty cool-ass trivia about Melrose Place.

Jennifer Garner helped Ben Affleck celebrate his 44th birthday — but they slept in separate rooms. So there.

-The Gotham showrunner just said “superhero shows don’t work on TV.” Sure…except all the ones besides his show that actually do.

David Oyelowo and Rosamund Pike find love in a hopeless place in the A United Kingdom trailer. It’s on my ‘maybe’ TIFF list.
