The Kardashians: “Money Always Matters”

kardashians variety cover

–Variety’s new cover story is a pretty frank look at the business side of the Kardashians, as we’re about to see if they can replicate their E! reality show success on Hulu. Kim says the new show will detail how she and Pete Davidson met (“who reached out to who and how it happened and all the details that everyone wants to know…I’m definitely open to talking, and I definitely explain it”) but she isn’t sure if he’ll ever appear on their new show (“I’m not opposed to it. It’s just not what he does. But if there was an event happening and he was there, he wouldn’t tell the cameras to get away”).

-Meanwhile, the behind-the-scenes video features this clip of Kim saying, ““I have the best advice for women in business. Get your f-cking ass up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days.” It is not going over well.

–Kanye West has reportedly hired a Hollywood Unlocked’s blogger as his ‘media manager‘. This is the guy who just two weeks ago insisted the Queen had died, right?

-The new trailer for Bridgerton season 2 is excellent. (Even though it looks like the show is leaning into a love triangle, Kanthony fans know better). My fave thing about this trailer is how many homages the show seems to be paying to the film versions of Pride and Prejudice. We have the hand graze (ala Matthew Macfadyen‘s Darcy, the see-through white shirt ala Colin Firth‘s Darcy, etc.).

–Kelly Clarkson‘s messy divorce is finally settled. She’ll pay her ex a lump sum of $1.3 million, along with child support of $45k/month.

-Jfc. Black Panther director Ryan Coogler was detained by police after he was mistaken for a bank robber when he tried to withdraw $12k from his account.

–Dylan O’Brien confirms he won’t be in the Teen Wolf movie.

-When it comes to her Oscars hosting plan, Amy Schumer says she’ll push the envelope and likely take “a couple risks” — if she’s allowed. “I emailed my lawyer about two jokes the other day, and he was like, ‘No!'” (Isn’t there a whole writers room for this thing, though?)

-Oh hells yes! André Braugher is joining the cast of The Good Fight.

-Now that The Batman proved that everyone is ready to go back to the theatre (are we though??), Warner Bros just re-established a 45-day theatrical window for their big films this year.

-The Batman spinoff series The Penguin is officially going ahead at HBO Max. I don’t understand hiring Colin Farrell to do a TV series if you’re going to bury him under prosthetics.

–Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo continue to give us the content we want. This image just sold me on The Adam Project.

-Glad to see the reviews for the second season of Upload are good.

-The first trailer for Star Wars series Obi-Wan Kenobi, starring Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christensen, Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse and Kumail Nanjiani, has arrived.

Kodi Smit-McPhee’s On Sam Elliott’s Power of the Dog Take

-Kodi Smit-McPhee’s response to Sam Elliott‘s criticism of The Power Of The Dog is pretty perfect.

-Congrats to Josh Hartnett, who quietly married longtime girlfriend Tamsin Egerton back in November.

–Florence Pugh is in talks to join Dune 2. Denis Villeneuve‘s sequel will resume from where the first one left off, with Paul (Timothée Chalamet) fighting with the Fremen to free the desert planet of Arrakis from the grips of House Harkonnen. Pugh is being courted to play Princess Irulan, the daughter of the Emperor.

–Zoë Kravitz said they shot Big Little Lies in “such a white area” that it made her “uncomfortable”: “Just weird racist people in bars and things like that.”

–Lee Pace did an interview with Vulture to answer questions about Pushing Daisies (I love how shaggy cute he is in this clip). “When I got cast in The Hobbit, Peter Jackson said, ‘We loved you in Pushing Daisies. That’s why you’re here.’”

–January Jones debuted an edgy new hairstyle and choices were made.

-This is an interesting look at how the tabloids are profiting off Kanye West‘s continued harassment of Kim Kardashian. “Kardashian articulated clear boundaries by posting on IG that she wants to handle matters privately, but West has continued to publicly harass her through social media and other public acts that involve her name or her likeness without her consent.”

–Mindy Kaling announced that Netflix has renewed Never Have I Ever for a fourth and final season.

-The reviews for Amy Schumer‘s new show Life and Beth seem mixed.

-Speaking of reviews for new shows, it seems that Renée Zellweger wearing a fat suit in The Thing About Pam is a distraction. Who woulda thunk it?

–Christopher Eccleston has softened his stance on coming back to Doctor Who — but he’ll only do it if he’s alone. “I’ve never been a fan of multi-Doctor stories. You know, when I worked on the series I had really strong ideas—surprise, surprise—about what works and what doesn’t, and I always think that multi-Doctor stories are a bit of a cash-in, and a bit of exploitation,” Eccleston said. “Creatively they never work for me. … The Ninth Doctor in particular is a one-man band, definitely. So, he doesn’t work with other Doctors. If you want me back, you get me on my own.”

-There’s a new featurette on The Lost City. I want it so much!

Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas Are in Deep

-Here’s the trailer for Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas’ Hulu film, Deep Water, which starts streaming next week. The more they try to bury this thing, the more I want to watch it.

-It looks like Shailene Woodley and Aaron Rodgers are still together. They attended a wedding over the weekend.

–Kanye West defended his latest music video, in which he depicts Pete Davidson being buried alive, by posting, “Art is therapy just like this view. art is protected as freedom of speech. art inspires and simplifies the world. Art is not a proxy for any ill or harm. Any suggestion otherwise about my art is false and mal intended.” Uh huh.

-When asked about the rumours that she feuded with Euphoria creator Sam Levinson and that’s why her character was barely in the last season, Barbie Ferreira said a lot of words that didn’t really add up to a clear answer.

-I’m so happy that Simon Rex won Best Actor at the Independent Spirit Awards. In other categories, CODA’s Troy Kotsur and Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Lost Daughter continued to build Oscar momentum.

–Gigi Hadid will be donating everything she made during fashion week to Ukrainian relief and continuing her support of Palestine.

-Uh oh, has Daniel Kaluuya fallen under the thrall of a life coach who encouraged him to fire his agents at CAA and his publicist? This article is so messed up.

–Pamela Anderson‘s resurgence continues; she will make her Broadway debut in Chicago next month, playing Roxie Hart.

–Dua Lipa is facing a second copyright lawsuit over her hit song “Levitating.”

-The reviews for Pixar’s Turning Red, which is set in Toronto, are glowing. I don’t get why this is being pushed straight to Disney+.

-The Walking Dead is growing to a fifth spinoff: Lauren Cohan and Jeffery Dean Morgan will star in Isle of the Dead for AMC in 2023. It’s been a while since I’ve watched anything to do with TWD, but aren’t Negan and Maggie mortal enemies?

-The weakest actor in The Gilded Age is Meryl Streep‘s daughter, but at least she tells cute stories about her mom.

–Colin Farrell and Kelly Clarkson have a lot of manic energy in this interview and I love it.

Vulture asks the right question: Instead of spending time and money to make Colin Farrell look like a middle-aged Italian American in The Batman, why not just cast one of these character actors instead?

-Speaking of Batman casting, Zoe Kravitz says she was told she was too “urban” to audition for The Dark Knight.

–Russian Doll Season 2 premieres April 20 on Netflix with seven new, half hour episodes. Here’s a trailer.
