Hailey Bieber’s Big Year

Hailey-Bieber on the cover of WSJ

–Hailey Bieber tells the WSJ what she’s up to in 2022: launching her skincare brand, going on tour with Justin for the first time, NOT having babies (yet).  “I think ideally in the next couple of years we would try. But there’s a reason they call it try, right? You don’t know how long that process is ever going to take. Definitely no kids this year; that would be a little bit hectic, I think.”

–Justin Bieber pranked Charlie Puth on a phone call. “We never really got to talk about just like…years ago when you said ‘F— you’ on stage to me…it hurt my feelings.”

–Whoopi Goldberg faced heat after saying on yesterday’s The View that the Holocaust was ‘not about race’, but you got to hand it to her — she knew she stepped in it and was quick to try and get in front of it. She went on Colbert last night and discussed it (though didn’t actually apologize), and also opened today show to talk about it again and have the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt on to further educate herself and the viewers.

Paul Rudd is the Sexiest Man Alive

Paul Rudd on People's Sexiest Man Alive cover

–Paul Rudd was named People’s Sexiest Man Alive. What a swerve! His accompanying video was predictably charming. “It’s going to change a lot [about my life]. I’m hoping to get invited to some of these sexy dinners with Clooney and Pitt and B. Jordan. I figure I’ll probably be on a lot more yachts. I’m exciting to expand my yachting life. And I’ll probably try to get better at brooding, like with really soft light.”

-Meanwhile, the fact that Page Six’s scoop about Chris Evans turned out to be not a scoop at all is delicious. And look, Evans is fine, but Rudd is a much more interesting choice, no?

Phoebe Dynevor wears a green Louis Vuitton dress on the cover of Harper's Bazaar.

-Bridgerton’s Phoebe Dynevor covers Harper’s Bazaar’s November 2021 issue and opens up about her mental health amid her rising fame. “I don’t think anyone knows how to handle that. I worry about everything. I’m full of anxiety. I have a fear of failure, letting someone down, contradicting myself. You see what it is for your mental health to be in the public eye. I meditate, I have a therapist, I walk every day. There are things I do to ground myself, because it’s quite hectic at the moment.”

–Kumail Nanjiani was all about posting thirst traps when he was bulking up for The Eternals, but now he says he’s become “very uncomfortable” talking about it on the press tour. (Which is fine!
