Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik Make Waves on Vogue

gigi-zayn-vogue-cover-2017

-Vogue did a cover about gender fluidity, though I don’t think hetero couple Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik talking about swapping clothes is probably the right way to do it.

-How the hell is Blake Lively in talks for a spy franchise? The fact that she continues to get movie work while Leighton Meester doesn’t is insane.

–Gwyenth Paltrow‘s GOOP is defending its health advice and doctors with a series of posts revisiting its most controversial topics and “offering our contributing M.D.’s a chance to articulate theirs, in a respectful and substantive manner.” First up: those jade eggs you’re supposed to stick in your vagina. (Spoiler: the doc gets very defensive.)

–Donnie Wahlberg left a $2,000 tip at a Waffle House, proving his still the best Wahlberg.

–Arcade Fire has a new song out called “Electric Blue.”

-Thousands of confidential documents were released in Walking Dead creator Frank Darabont‘s lawsuit against AMC, and while everyone is focused on his obscene emails (which are definite worth a read), it’s the financial info and behind-the-scenes scoop that has me intrigued. After Darabont moved the second season to one set location — a farmhouse — to accommodate the network’s insane budget cuts, AMC executives demanded to see ALL of the season’s scripts up front before shooting. No show has those ready. I was also shocked by the bonuses for Emmy and Golden Globe awards ($25,000 for each nomination, $50,000 for each win).

-Speaking of Emmys, the nominations came out this morning and they felt like a big step backwards compared to last year. The biggest oversight is the lack of love for The Leftovers, which blew away everything else on TV this season. Carrie Coon didn’t even get a nod (though she did for Fargo, which no one is even talking about anymore). Others feeling the lack of love: The Americans, Insecure, Justin Theroux, Rami Malek (who won last year), The Good Place. And who the hell is still voting for House of Cards?! There were some nice surprises though, including noms for Pamela Aldon, Aziz Anzari, Donald Glover, Milo Ventimiglia, Atlanta, Kimmy Schmidt, Stranger Things, and This is Us.

-At least Twitter’s reactions to the Emmys snub of The Leftovers are hilarious.

-Atlanta’s Brian Tyree Henry and his BFF, This Is Us’ Sterling K. Brown, called each other and “screamed a little bit” after getting their Emmy noms this morning.

–Ezra Miller‘s The Flash teams up with Batman and Wonder Woman in a new Justice League photo.

-Wonder Woman is holding better than any superhero movie in 15 years.

–John Oliver told Stephen Colbert that he now wishes he hadn’t made his “Stupid Watergate” joke. “We are turbo-f***ed.”

–Brie Larson tries to survive her unconventional parents, played by Naomi Watts and Woody Harrelson, in The Glass Castle trailer.

Riz Ahmed, Viola Davis, Donald Glover and Ryan Reynolds Are Time’s Most Influential

riz-ahmed-time-influential

-The Night Of’s Riz Ahmed made Time’s 100 Most Influential People List, and was written about by Lin-Manuel Miranda(!). Other notables: Meryl Streep wrote about Viola Davis, Leslie Jones wrote about Simone Biles, Brie Larson wrote about Emma Stone, Tina Fey wrote about Donald Glover, Helen Mirren wrote about Ryan Reynolds, Lena Dunham wrote about Constance Wu, and Kerry Washington wrote about Alicia Keys.

–Ben Affleck is dating someone…just not seriously (according to many, many articles.)

-Also, he and Jennifer Garner reportedly waited so long to file for divorce because they hoped that rehab would help their relationship.

–Saoirse Ronan tricked Ed Sheeran into getting a really terrible tattoo. I adore her.

–Chris O’Donnell remembers that time when Donald Trump forced his way into Scent of a Woman, then got cut from the film anyway.

-Would you attend Gwyenth Paltrow’s GOOP conference? I think I would…but I’d really need to build up my eye rolling muscles first.

-Aww, I’m bummed that Girlboss on Netflix isn’t getting great reviews.

-I had some issues with 13 Reasons Why, but it’s unflinching depiction of rape and suicide was impressive and felt essential. The writer penned an emotional essay defending his decision to air the series’ most graphic scene.

–Dave Chappelle and George Lopez where among the stars to attend Charlie Murphy’s funeral.

-Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’s Rachel Bloom dropped a video for her new song “Lady Boss,” an empowering anthem about work anxiety.

-Are Ryan Gosling and Justin Theroux planning to work together? Not sure if my ovaries can handle that..

-Chasing Amy (a movie I loved at the time but now understand how problematic it was) just turned 20, and the quotes from Kevin Smith in this retrospective knocked me on my ass. The part where he talks about identifying with lesbians more than men because he’s attracted to women? Jesus.

-Here’s a good backgrounder on the writers strike, which is looking more and more likely.

–Reese Witherspoon explains why Big Little Lies means she’ll finally get to change her own story.

-Here’s a new trailer for Sofia Coppola’s Civil War–era drama The Beguiled, starring Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst and a super seductive Colin Farrell.

Spiderman-EW

-I like this rundown of TV characters who’s names have become verbs.

–Gwyneth Paltrow is getting a lot of flack for a recent interview in which she implied that being a movie star mom is harder than being an office worker mom. The response was swift and hilarious.

-Speaking of hilarious, here’s a compilation of the Internet’s reaction to her “conscious uncoupling.”

-Meanwhile, she sent out a typical GOOP newsletter this week (about chicken recipes, of all things) but she did add an extra note at the end of the intro saying “P.S. CM and I in deep gratitude for the support of so many.” (Proving once again that she really, really needs a copy editor.)

-Also, the Alexa Chung/Chris Martin speculation is everywhere now, though Lainey’s been hinting at it for a while.

–James Van Der Beek is on a roll this week. He apologized for being a jerk on Seth Meyer’s show, and then he tweeted a photo with Grams!

–Drew Barrymore is super duper pregnant. Meanwhile, here’s our first glimpse of her new horror film.

-Despite what she told Oprah on last week’s ep of her reality shows, Lindsay Lohan is hitting the clubs again. At least she’s not drinking.

-Here’s a Chris Evan timeline which helps to explain how he fell out of love with acting.

-I haven’t read Television Without Pity for a while, but it was a huge influence on me early in my career and made me realize I wanted to write about TV. It will be missed.

-This gallery of the best HIMYM episodes reminded me that at one time, this show used to be really, really good.

–Angelina Jolie is in Sarajevo to discuss rape prevention in military training.

–Rihanna and Drake were spotted together — time time with hand-holding/thigh-grabbing.

-The University of Iowa doesn’t want Lena Dunham and/or her boobs on their campus next season.

–The Good Wife preview for Sunday night’s episode makes me want to curl up in the fetal position and/or day drink.

-Speaking of which, I liked this article on the hollow gamesmanship of TV game-changers like TGW and New Girl’s last episodes.

-A Colbert Report tweet about Asians has some calling for the show’s cancellation and spawned a whole bunch of controversy. But the tweet was actually a quote from his show this week, and was actually making fun of Dan Synder, not Asian people. Patton Oswalt just shut the whole thing down.

–Beyonce ended her tour this week with an onstage ugly cry.

–Owen Pallett has written another pop review using music theory. This time, he explain why Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” is popular. Man, I hope this becomes a weekly column.

–Tom Hiddleston used to have frosted tips. That is all.

-The only reason I kind of want to see Noah is because Emma Watson is reportedly amazing in it.

–Joss Whedon talks about shooting the action scenes for Avengers 2 in Seoul — and he’s already apologizing.

-This new trailer for The Purge: Anarchy reminds us to just stay inside.

-I loved loved loved this movie starring Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo when I saw it at TIFF last year (then it was called Can A Song Save Your Life? but it appears to have been renamed to the blander Begin Again). In any case, it’s from the guy who did Once and the first trailer is here.
