W’s Great Performances Covers

-A slew of stars posed for W’s Great Performances issues, and some covers were way zanier than others.

Jake Gyllenhaal is seemingly trolling Swifties in his photoshoot for W Magazine, where he sports a pair of red heart sunglasses that are almost identical to the ones Taylor Swift wore in her “22” music video. I love this level of pettiness.

-In his W profile, Adam Driver says he doesn’t attend wrap parties. “I haven’t been to a wrap party since Girls. I just want to get the character out of my system and go home.” What a bummer for the crew.

-Love is dead. Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet have announced their split.

-On the other side of the coin, Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly got engaged. (I’m so curious about who was filming this. There are multiple angles in the video!) Also, is there a proposal uniform? His buddy Travis Barker wore a similar shirt. (This is my fave tweet about it.)

-Welp. The Queen has stripped Prince Andrew of his military affiliations and he will “no longer use the style ‘His Royal Highness’ in any official capacity.” The palace added in their brief statement that he will be defending himself in the sexual abuse case “as a private citizen.”

Kanye West was allegedly involved in a battery incident in Los Angeles. He was named as a suspect in a battery report (rumoured to involve him hitting a fan) taken by the LAPD’s Newton Division early on Thursday morning. TMZ has video of him yelling at someone, though its not clear who. He was not arrested and a rep has yet to comment.

-Before all that hubbub, he was with Julia Fox, Madonna and Floyd Mayweather at Delilah nightclub last night. There’s a really cringey video of them all listening to music.

-Meanwhile, Julia Fox addressed criticism about their relationship, denying that they’re only spending time together for attention.

Bob Saget‘s widow is expressing her gratitude for John Mayer and Jeff Ross, who picked up his car from LAX for her.

David Beckham packed wife Victoria Beckham‘s lunch with a note that said, “Enjoy lunch ***hole… Come home happier.” She posted it with the caption, “Even when I’m grumpy he looks after me.”

Halle Berry penned a tribute to Sidney Poitier: “I was a child who, like my parents’ interracial relationship, never quite fit in. In those years, it was rare to see Blacks in leading roles, much less have our narratives celebrated or even acknowledged.”

-I keep trying to avoid the Drake/hot sauce story but the memes are hilarious.

-Ohhhh, Nicole Kidman *should* host the Oscars.

-This is a great interview with Matilda Lawler, the 13-year-old who’s crushing it on Station Eleven.

-There’s been a lot of speculation about who will play fan favourite Nikolai in the second season of Shadow and Bone — and Patrick Gibson of The OA has landed the role. Other new cast members include Anna Leong Brophy as Tamar, Lewis Tan as Tolya, and The Witcher’s Jack Wolfe as Wylan. Everyone looks pretty much how I pictured them when reading the books (though the guy who plays Wylan looks like a child, but IMDB assures me he’s 26).

-The reviews for How I Met Your Father with Hilary Duff are very not good.

-A Degrassi revival series has been ordered by HBO Max.

Jean-Marc Vallée finished writing a film about Yoko Ono and John Lennon before his sudden death last month.

Gugu Mbatha-Raw moves into a haunted house in the trailer for The Girl Before.

Ben Affleck Backpedals on “Trapped” Comment

Ben Affleck was on Kimmel last night and responded to the backlash from his Howard Stern interview, blaming “clickbait” headlines. “They had literally taken the conversation I had had for two hours and made it seem as if I was saying the exact opposite of what I said.”

Chris Noth has been accused of rape by two women, in alleged incidents that took place in 2004 and 2015. Their stories are eerily similar. The actor calls the allegations “categorically false” and says the “encounters were consensual”.

-In less disturbing Sex and the City news, these tributes to Willie Garson from the cast are truly lovely.

-After a third human resources investigation into his on-set behavior, Jeff Garlin is leaving The Goldbergs, which is currently in the middle of its ninth season. “He is extremely verbally and emotionally abusive,” a Goldbergs employee told Deadline. This tidbit in the article is incredibly weird: “As of precursor of what was to come, I hear Garlin canceled his Covid test on Monday this week. According to sources, the show used his double for what was supposed to be the actor’s last day, and his face will be superimposed using CGI in post-production for the episode, designed to wrap his character’s storyline. (That is practice used a number of times for Garlin in the past for various reasons, I hear.)” CGIing an actor’s face onto a double? For a sitcom??

-The cast of Ted Lasso reunited for a very adorable holiday short.

Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger are expecting baby no. 2.

-Yellowjackets has been renewed for season 2. I’m really liking that show but I’m so used to prestige TV being limited series that I was taken aback when the showrunner talked about wanting to do 10 seasons. But this is a really good thread about what we’re missing with 8 episode shows.

Megan Thee Stallion just signed a major first-look deal with Netflix.

-I didn’t even know Canadians were allowed to compete in Survivor, but good for us!

The cameo on this week’s Hawkeye was so, so good and it made me really love that Marvel character even more. Where’s their Disney+ show?

-Sony is trying to block a bunch of leaks after scenes from the new Spider-Man ended up on YouTube this week.

-Here’s the first trailer for How I Met Your Father, starring Hilary Duff. Is it weird that I miss the laugh track?

-Wow, I really hope we’re back to movie going in March because the trailer for The Lost City looks amazing (I’ve been ready for this one since I heard the romance author/cover hero premise and the trailer lives up to my hopes.) I was already on board by Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum‘s cute banter to intro it, but the cameo at the end? COME ON!!!

Selma Blair Is a Survivor

Selma-Blair

-In her Town & Country interview, Selma Blair talks about living with multiple sclerosis, and the power of makeup (“Makeup is not trivial to me. If anything moves the needle for me in my life—even before my diagnosis or challenges—it is my gorgeous war paint…I don’t mind if my muscles get caught at the intersection of a slow brain signal. I just want those words to come from lips covered in Chanel gloss”).

-In news no one was expecting: How I Met Your Mother is getting a spinoff on Hulu called How I Met Your Father, starring Hilary Duff.

Prince Harry and the Queen reportedly spoke privately on at least two different occasions while he was home for the funeral of Prince Philip.

-Meanwhile, Harry is now back in LA.

Zac Efron (who is currently filming in Toronto) and his Australian girlfriend Vanessa Valladares have reportedly split after 10 months of dating.

-Speaking of splits, Jennifer Lopez‘s camp is saying she broke it off with ARod because she could no longer trust him.

-I’m so glad Shadow and Bones (which hits Netflix this Friday) is getting such glowing reviews — it’s 93% on RottenTomatoes. “Game of Thrones meets your fave CW show” sounds like perfection. I thought the original trilogy was pretty good but then ended up reading the other series, Six of Crows, since the show will also feature those characters too, and that series was amazing. I’m not surprised that the Crows segments (which are less magic-y and more heist-y), seem to be getting the most attention. I’m also very glad the show retained all the shipper goodness.

-Odd couple Lucy Hale and Skeet Ulrich are an odd couple no more.

Robert De Niro‘s lawyers claim he’s working at an unsustainable pace in order to support his estranged wife. He’s also suing a former employee.

-Though the popular assumption online is that there’s some sabotage via glam going on backstage, The View hairstylist says that her intentions are pure and not at all passive-aggressive.

-A new season of Master of None is coming in May. I loved that show, but I’m not sure how I feel about seeing more Aziz, though this season will reportedly focus on Lena Waithe’s character, Denise.

-Chanel is replacing their annual Oscars dinner with luxury at-home gift boxes. About 150 VIPs will receive boxes while the legendary French fashion house makes a donation to The Actors Fund.

Lizzo introduced Taurus season with a nude selfie.

LeVar Burton is getting his wish to guest-host Jeopardy.

Eric Bana plays a federal agent investigating the decades-old death of a teenage girl in his hometown in The Dry trailer.
