–Meghan Markle revealed never-before-seen pregnancy pics on Instagram for the launch of her new workwear clothing collection, available at British retailers in the fall. The proceeds will benefit the charity Smart Works, which helps provide clothing and interview coaching to unemployed women. Given how scrutinized and beloved her style is, this is such a great choice. (Plus, we Canadians know it’s not her first time doing a workwear line.)

-After a ton of criticism, Mario Lopez is backtracking on his “ignorant” comments about raising transgender children.

-Jane the Virgin ends tonight and the season finale is getting glowing reviews.

-For J.K. Rowling’s birthday, Emma Watson shared a scary/cute photo of the duo hanging out at a costume party with her co-star Evanna Lynch.

–Celine Dion does not appreciate reports that her close friend Pepe has too much influence over her.

–Lana Del Rey just announced she’s dropping a new album next month (with Jack Antonoff) and I really need it. Also, apparently it’s ok if you’ve fallen behind (like me). The episode explains enough that you can just jump back in.

–Hannah and Tyler haven’t had time to get that drink yet. I don’t really know what any of that means, but my Twitter TL seems *super* psyched about it.

–Angelina Jolie‘s kids are digging the fact that she’s going to be in the Marvel universe.

-I haven’t gotten around to reading this summer’s buzzy book Where the Crawdads Sing (I know, I know) but this Slate article on its dark history is wild.

–Brie Larson was spotted looking cozy with Maria Bello‘s ex.

-Succession is coming back to HBO soon and honestly I can’t wait.

–Ellen Page is bringing a documentary to TIFF called There’s Something In the Water that draws attention to the Indigenous and African Nova Scotian women fighting to protect their communities. She’s a good egg.

-The trailer for Martin Scorsese‘s highly-anticipated (and VERY expensive) Netflix drama The Irishman has arrived, and everyone’s freaked out by the “de-aging” visual effects.

 

Stop Shipping Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt

–Jennifer Aniston threw a 50th birthday bash this weekend and the guest list was insane (George, Amal, Gwyneth, Reese, Sandra, Kate, Orlando, Katy, Demi, RDJ, Courteney, Ellen, etc.) but the guest that everyone’s buzzing about today is her ex-hubby Brad Pitt. Not surprisingly, people from her camp are already shooting down talk of a reconciliation, pointing out that they only chatted briefly and “they definitely aren’t dating or on that path. They are friendly, but that’s it.”

-God, I could watch this video of Anne Hathaway shading James Franco for hanging her out to dry at the Oscars on repeat for a month.

–Chris Pratt responded to Ellen Page‘s criticism of his church with a long-winded, poorly designed IG story.

-Congrats to Supergirl’s Melissa Benoist, who announced her engagement to former costar Chris Wood.

-Fleabag season 2 is starting in March.

-Hulu is delaying the third season of The Handmaid’s Tale until June, putting it out of Emmy contention. (They claim it’s not because of GoT, but come on.)

-Hulu also previewed the new Veronica Mars reboot, promising a more mature take.

-The official website for Captain Marvel (which is set in the 90s) looks like it was built on Angelfire and it’s total perfection!

-The BAFTAs took place in London this weekend, and Olivia Colman gave another perfect speech (“We’re gonna get so pissed later!”) while Cate Blanchett looked like she was collecting infinity stones.

–Trevor Noah‘s thoughts on the Liam Neeson debacle are worth a listen.

-As part of her cover story with Justin, Hailey Baldwin answered Vogue’s 73 questions. It’s awkwardly stiff.

–Chris Brown needs to stay the hell away from Cardi B. And, you know, everyone else.

-I really liked this profile on Roma’s Yalitza Aparicio, which challenges the fairy tale narrative that’s been building all season.

-Did Sean Penn really write a column about how Bradley Cooper should have been nominated for Best Director? Really?! It’s his FIRST movie! I would have rather seen Destroyer’s Karyn Kusama or Can You Ever Forgive Me?’s Marielle Heller get a nom before Cooper.

-Oscars is relegating four categories to commercial breaks, including editing and cinematography. You know, that things that actually make movies good.

-No surprise here: Bryan Singer‘s Red Sonja has been put on the back burner.

–Lin-Manuel Miranda will guest star on Brooklyn Nine-Nine. He basically tweeted that show into survival, so this is lovely.

-It looks like Warner Bros is actually going to pull Friends from Netflix for their own streaming app.

-Did you miss the Grammys last night? Here’s the red carpet recap.

-Last night during the Grammys, we got our first look at Will Smith as the blue genie in Disney’s live-action adaptation of Aladdin — and it’s really, really bad. The teaser launched a million Arrested Development jokes.

Cardi B Covers Harper’s Bazaar

Cardi B Offset Harpers Bazaar

–Cardi B is coming in hot with her Harper’s Bazaar photo spread, which is by far the best editorial of the year so far. (I love that she got in a fight with Nicki Minaj at Harper’s Fashion Week party, and not only did she still land their cover, the photos actually reference it.) In the interview, she talks about working on her marriage to Offset (“Nobody makes my decisions about my life but me. I didn’t want to go to marriage counseling. He suggested it, but it’s like, ‘I don’t want to go.’ There’s no counselor or nothing that could make me change my mind”), postpartum depression (“When I gave birth, the doctor told me about postpartum, and I was like, ‘Well, I’m doing good right now, I don’t think that’s going to happen.’ But out of nowhere, the world was heavy on my shoulders”), and re-prioritizing (“Now I don’t feel like I have the time to please people. I don’t care about anything anymore—just my career and my kid. Well, I care about my career because of my money”).

–Ellen Page going after Chris Pratt is a mood! (At what point can we just drop Pratt from all those “who’s the best Chris” discussions? Messina is ready to swap in!)

-Congrats to Vampire Diaries star Paul Wesley, who got married.

-Man, EW’s romcom issue is just the gift that keeps on giving. Today they posted a piece with Katherine Heigl, James Marsden, Malin Akerman, and Ed Burns reminiscing about 27 Dresses (a film that holds up surprisingly well).

–Ariana Grande had a busy day! She just dropped a new (possibly queerbaiting?) music video, and a new album that’s getting rave reviews.

-The Grammys are gonna be a mess. Not only is Ariana bailing, Drake, Childish Gambino and Kendrick Lamar all declined invitations to perform too.

–Danai Gurira is leaving The Walking Dead. She’s the only good thing the show still has going for it and if AMC didn’t feel the need to throw bags of money her way to make her stay, it’s their loss.

-Meanwhile, Norman Reedus may not be working with Andrew Lincoln any more, but he hasn’t stopped pranking him.

-There’s a new Soderbergh movie on Netflix today starring André Holland and Zazie Beetz called High Flying Bird, and critics really dig it.

-In other HBO news, Barry and Veep will premiere in March, while Big Little Lies’ second season is landing in June.

–Miley Cyrus is now officially going by Miley Hemsworth.

–Juliett Binoche‘s comments on Harvey Weinstein are super disappointing. Goddammit, I just sat through Let The Sunshine In for her!

-Ugh, Casey Affleck exhausts me.

-Former CW lead Chad Michael Murray playing a supporting character on Riverdale really is karma at work.

-Good on Jeff Bezos (words I never thought I’d say) for exposing the National Enquirer’s attempts to blackmail him using nude photos, but female celebrities did it first.

–Samuel L. Jackson and Jessie Usher make a badass father and son pair in the Shaft reboot.
