Kim Kardashian

Michelle Yeoh’s a Leading Lady

Michelle Yeoh wears black dress on THR cover

–Michelle Yeoh — the ballerina turned beauty queen turned martial arts star turned screen legend — finally gets her first top billing in a Hollywood theatrical feature with Everything Everywhere All at Once, which is earning raves. She talks to THR about stepping into the spotlight and overcoming adversity.

-In her new Vogue cover story, Bella Hadid reveals that she had a nose job at 14, but now regrets it. “I wish I had kept the nose of my ancestors. I think I would have grown into it.”

–Kim Kardashian says Pete Davidson has “a few” tattoos dedicated to their relationship, as well as a “branding” of her first name.

-Meanwhile, Kanye West‘s latest wild jab is that he fears Pete will get Kim into drugs.

-This is a great interview with Joe Wright on Cyrano and how The Woman In The Window ended up being far removed from what his original vision was. “The film that was finally released was not the film that I originally made. I was like, ‘Oh, fucking hell. You live and you learn.’ It got watered down…There’s a great scene where she had sex with the bloke downstairs and stuff like that. It was very different.”

-Oh god, Russell Brand called Trudeau a ‘tyrant’ for his handling of the trucker protest and parroted Russian state propaganda about Ukraine.  (But he rejects the alt-r*ght label.)

–Norman Reedus is recovering after getting a concussion on the  Walking Dead set.

-I’m really liking everything Anne Hathaway is wearing on the We Crashed promo tour. That trans flag purse!

–Kristen Stewart wore an excellent jumpsuit on Kimmel’s show for one last pitch before Oscar voting opens.

-Speaking of promo style, I’m not a fan of Sandra Bullock‘s latest wrinkly outfit.

-There are many, many things I disliked about Licorice Pizza but wow the Asian accent thing is way up there.

-Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney just made the big leagues: she’ll star alongside Dakota Johnson in the upcoming live-action Spider-Man spinoff film Madame Web.

–Claire Danes and Tom Hiddleston are starring in a new period limited series for Apple and I want it now.

-Speaking of shows I want now, Starstruck Season 2 starts March 24 on HBO Max. Here’s the new trailer. (The Lost City, Sanditon, Bridgerton and Starstruck all dropping in the same week is huge for Romancelandia.)

–Mike Myers plays eight different roles in his new Netflix series The Pentaverate. Here’s the trailer.

-Barry season 3 has its first trailer.

-SNL’s Vanessa Bayer chases her lifelong dream of becoming a home shopping channel host in the trailer for Showtimes’ I Love That For You.

Maggie Gyllenhaal Embraces Silence

Maggie-Gyllenhaal-The-Lost-Daughter-W magazing

-The Lost Daughter is one of the few Oscar noms that feels like it’s been widely seen (the Netflix effect, I guess). The film’s helmer Maggie Gyllenhaal covers W magazine’s Directors Issue, and talks about the choices she made in adapting Elena Ferrante‘s novel. “The challenge of the book was very much like breaking a scene down as an actor. You have a text and you’re like, Okay, these are the words, but what is the underlying, more interesting event of the scene, and how can you articulate that cinematically without ever saying it out loud?” (The accompanying noir-inspired photo shoot includes her husband, Peter Sarsgaard.)

-Hurray for Kim Kardashian, who is now legally single one year after filing for divorce from Kanye West.

-Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney is engaged to her boyfriend of 3 years, restaurateur Jonathan Davino. (Also, this article made me realize that she played Nick’s wife on The Handmaid’s Tale and my mind is blown.)

-Speaking of Sweeney, I’m surprised she’s not in the running to play Madonna in the upcoming biopic. Instead, her Euphoria costar Alexa Demie is, along with Julia Garner, Florence Pugh, Odessa Young, Emma Laird, Bebe Rexha and Sky Ferreira. According to THR, some hopefuls are even participating in 11-hour choreography sessions called “Madonna bootcamp“.

–Zoe Kravitz continues to wear on-the-nose, gimmicky dresses to The Batman premieres, and she continues to somehow make it work. I also really dig Robert Pattinson‘s look here.

-I won’t be convinced that Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet have reunited until People reports it, but I understand the excitement surrounding the rumours.

–Sean Penn says he “walked miles to the Polish border after abandoning our car on the side of the road” while filming a documentary for Vice on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

-I wish this sketch about white dudes who podcast wasn’t cut from John Mulaney‘s SNL episode.

–Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo are back together and playing a couple in Netflix’s The Adam Project, and on the press tour they said they are open to a 13 Going on 30 sequel. God, yes!

–Lindsay Lohan has teamed with Netflix for two more movies, which bodes well for the holiday one she just shot.

–Marilyn Manson is suing his former fiancée Evan Rachel Wood and the artist Illma Gore, accusing them of concocting an elaborate ‘conspiracy’ to cast him as ‘a rapist and abuser.’

-Netflix announced a new documentary about Pamela Anderson, already in production for several years, in which she is “setting the record straight as she looks back on her professional path and her personal journey.” I’m glad she gets to tell her story after Pam & Tommy tried to do it for her.

-So it seems like the controversial changes the Oscars are making this year, including presenting eight Oscar categories differently than the other 15, were pushed by ABC, not the Academy.

-It’ll be interesting to see if Disney+ cleans up the Netflix Marvel shows before they stream them. Disney bumped Love, Victor to Hulu because it was too risqué for their platform, so I can’t imagine them being cool with the bed-breaking sex scene between Jessica Jones and Luke Cage.

-I really liked this piece about Better Things’ final season and what made the show so special. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen another series that’s so loose and immersive, but this sums it up perfectly: “A person doesn’t watch the show so much as drop by Sam’s big cozy house for a visit.”

–Gary Oldman and Kristin Scott Thomas lead a group of spies looking for redemption in Apple TV’s Slow Horses trailer.

–Regina Hall stars in the eerie trailer for Mariama Diallo‘s Master, which follows three Black women’s experience at a predominately white university.

-Here’s the first full Bullet Train trailer, in which Brad Pitt leads an ensemble cast of assassins made up of Bad Bunny, Joey King, Hiroyuki Sanada, Michael Shannon, and more.

Kendall Jenner Drinks In-N-Out on i-D

-In a new interview with i-D, Kendall Jenner says she turns to books to improve her mental health. “I was having a panic attack two nights ago and I was just like, ‘Oh, but you know what? I’m just going to pick up this book and try to forget’…I just love having things that are for me and no one else, you know? I feel like reading is one of those things.”

-Are Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley not actually broken up? They were spotted out together in Los Angeles earlier this week.

–Amanda Seyfried says she first turned down the opportunity to play Elizabeth Holmes in The Dropout. “Listen, I was having a f*cking moment, OK? I had COVID. I was isolating in the basement of a gross townhouse in Savannah, Georgia, because my husband was working on a movie there. And now an L.A. shoot? Pass!”

-Euphoria star Chloe Cherry told Variety about how she’s handling her newfound fame – and the comments that come with it. “It’s crazy how many people talk about my lips being so big. The amount of headlines that I have seen and the amount of people posting and commenting about my lips has been surreal. It’s nuts because you have to realize that I got those lips at some point in my life and nobody reacted that way — at least not to my face.”

-In new court papers filed this week, Kim Kardashian pleaded with a Los Angeles Superior Court judge to sign off on her divorce from Kanye West.

-I keep forgetting Kim Kardashian has an app, even though I know someone who worked on it. The game has removed its latest level after it was accused of cashing in on a storyline which mimicked that of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s exit from the UK.

–Billie Eilish told Seth Meyers that she was nervous to meet Daniel Craig when she worked on the No Time to Die theme song. “It’s James Bond. He’s a DILF.” She said when they first met, she was mesmerized by his blue eyes. “You literally would not believe them. They look crazy. When I met him I was like, ‘Whoa.'”

-I know Robert Pattinson’s oversized suit is very trendy but he looks like a kid playing in his father’s closet.

-Also, it’s very refreshing for RPattz to admit he’s gonna stalk Twitter for The Batman reactions.

–Benedict Cumberbatch spent months preparing to play a cowboy in The Power of the Dog, and said it paid off when he rescued a family from a herd of cows. “I came back from shooting the film in August and we were off to the beach. To get there we had to cross a field and in the field was a petrified family who just couldn’t move, they were frozen because of a herd of cows with calves. I thought, ‘I can do this,’ and I just sort of parted the waves of cattle. The family was like, ‘That was incredible. Hey, aren’t you Sherlock?'”

–Dave Grohl is the latest celeb to appear on Hot Ones, and he barely flinched at the heat levels of the various hot sauces. “I have this sh-t at home. Sometimes I come home from rehearsal, I drink a couple beers, I eat a teaspoon of this shit. So, you know what, Hot Ones? I got your ass.”

–Grohl also appeared on James Corden’s show and played a heated game with Hilary Duff.

-I love that Fefe Dobson is making a comeback! Here’s her new single ‘Fckn in Love.’

-Speaking of comebacks, Superchunk has a new album.

-This is an interesting look at actors who demanded changes to their characters’ romantic relationships. It’s presented as positive, but on the flip side I recently read a Twitter thread from a TV writer about the abuse they take from fans when a show kills a ship even though often it’s because the stars demanded it (they found religion and refuse to do sex scenes, or they hate each other and don’t want to be in the same room, or one is anti-mask and no one wants to kiss them, etc.).

-The parents of actor Alicia Witt who were found dead in their Massachusetts home in December died of exposure to the cold.

-Nearly $200,000 worth of antiques were stolen from the set of Netflix’s The Crown.

–Lily Collins and Jesse Plemons‘ vacation is ruined when a robber intrudes in the trailer for Windfall.
