Jamie Spears Finally Relents

-Finally some good news on the Britney Spears front. TMZ is reporting that Jamie Spears is not waiting for the next hearing at the end of September and instead has filed court docs to step down as his daughter’s conservator. He’s a whiny little jerkface about it, but still! In the filing, he slams Lynne Spears and adds, “There are, in fact, no actual grounds for suspending or removing Mr. Spears as the Conservator of the Estate … and it is highly debatable whether a change in conservator at this time would be in Ms. Spears’ best interests.”

-Meanwhile, police are monitoring death threats being made to the judge who’s overseeing Spears’ conservatorship case.

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis broke down and bathed their children. Peer pressure works!

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck hit up celebrity hotspot Craig’s for dinner with her daughter after returning home from their European yacht trip. Every time I go to a fancy restaurants and see kids there I think “god, they must be so bored.” Though I guess getting papped would add some excitement/terror to the evening.

-This is in interesting look at how celebrities alerting the paparazzi to their whereabouts has changed during the pandemic, when the lack of red carpets is making some stars desperate for coverage.

-At this point, it takes a lot for shoe designers to really make a shoe stand out based on sheer ridiculousness, but Rebecca Hall’s just did it. “Toe condoms” sound about right.

Kristin Chenoweth did this 18-page musical number in one take on Schmigadoon!, a show that has really grown on me, even though I know nothing about the era of musical theatre it’s spoofing.

-Scotland Yard said they will cooperate with American authorities regarding Prince Andrew — while Charles is worried how the optics are going to overshadow the Queen‘s Platinum Jubilee. The priorities of this family remain eyebrow raising….

-During Disney’s earnings call today, CEO Bob Chapek defended the distribution strategy behind Black Widow that led to a lawsuit from Scarlett Johansson.

Willem Dafoe won’t confirm or deny that he’s going to be in Spider-Man: No Way Home. At this point, it’s almost a sure thing that the movie is going to have all the reunited actors who played Spidey recreate that pointing-at-each-other meme, right?!

Michael B. Jordan keeps a journal for his newborn son while stationed overseas in the trailer for A Journal for Jordan.

Jennifer Aniston covers the new issue of Instyle and talks about Jennifer Lopez’s posing talent on red carpets (“I want to know what gives her the look like she’s about to be seething. It’s amazing”), says the Friends cast promised each other to stay in touch after the reunion (“I had a couple of people over [that] Sunday, just with the kids and stuff. Schwimmer stopped by, so I got to meet his amazing little girl. But we really did make a commitment to each other. We were like, “That’s the last time we wait that long to see each other”), and says she cut people out of her life over their views on vaccines (“It’s a real shame. I’ve just lost a few people in my weekly routine who have refused or did not disclose [whether or not they had been vaccinated], and it was unfortunate. I feel it’s your moral and professional obligation to inform, since we’re not all podded up and being tested every single day. It’s tricky because everyone is entitled to their own opinion — but a lot of opinions don’t feel based in anything except fear or propaganda”).

-Me: “I’m not afraid of heights. “Also me seeing this photoshoot with Angelina Jolie: “Christ woman, get down from there!”

Chris Meloni got his first Men’s Health cover at 60. (That one photo of him doing the splits should automatically get him into the Zaddy Hall of Fame.) In the interview, he opens up about why he suddenly left Law & Order: SVU at the end of season 12: “My thought was: Instead of 22 episodes, bring me back for nine episodes, or bring me back for 18 episodes. They literally came to me on a Thursday night and said, ‘This is the deal. We want the answer by tomorrow. It’s our way or no way.’ [I said] ‘I don’t want to f–k around with you guys. This is what I want. If you can’t do it, that’s fine. Let’s figure out my exit.'”

Jay-Z and Will Smith are among a list of investors involved in a startup that helps renters build credit until they can buy a home. This feels so much better than rich dudes going to space.

-I love that Chris Evans is playing along with Lizzo’s pregnancy post.

-One of the women Princess Eugenie’s husband Jack Brooksbank was photographed with apologized for those controversial, “misinterpreted” pictures. “I usually never go topless,” Erica Pelosini told The Daily Mail, “but my bikini got wet and I decided to take it off. I know it does not look right for Jack and his family. I felt very bad for them when I saw the images of him surrounded by three women because his wife was not there.” She added, “Jack is a very dear friend of mine and I have known him for a number of years. He’s also good friends with the other two women. It’s very upsetting for me that people could be thinking the wrong things.” Yeah, who among us hasn’t frolicked topless with our platonic male married friends?

Seth Rogen would like everyone to know he has not been kidnapped, just in case that was a worry of yours.

-Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige is said to be very unhappy with the way Disney is handling the Scarlett Johansson lawsuit. Pissing him off seems like a very bad idea.

-After Dax Shepard‘s podcast interview with Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher sparked debate over their kids bathing habits, Shepard and Kristen Bell discussed their lax policy for their own kids. “I’m a big fan of waiting for the stink. Once you catch a whiff, that’s biology’s way of letting you know you need to clean it up.” What??

James Gunn just can’t help himself.

Selena Gomez responded to the “tasteless” kidney transplant reference in The Good Fight. Wait, did no one watch the actual episode?

-Heels is getting good reviews. I didn’t think I’d be interested in a wrestling show (or watching anything involving Stephen Amell again) but the Friday Night Lights vibe from the trailer apparently holds strong throughout the first four eps screened for critics. Plus, the showrunner is Kurt’s dad from Glee!

Soleil Moon Frye says that that three of her four children have contracted Covid.

Hilarie Burton defended her former OTH co-star, Chad Michael Murray, when a fan tweeted that he was the reason she left the show. “I’m not sure where your info is coming from, but Chad had nothing to do with my leaving. We were both treated badly, and he defended me. I so appreciate your support, but I just wanted to clarify that Chad was my teammate. My bosses were the s–ts.”

-Transphobes are trying to co-opt Terry Pratchett, which is ridiculous.

-This is a good piece on how DaBaby’s vile remarks about gay sex and AIDS mixed with the furor over Lil Nas X’s “Industry Baby” have made for the eye of a perfect shitstorm.

Justin Bieber apologized for plugging Morgan Wallen‘s album — saying he didn’t know about Morgan’s n-word scandal.

-Here’s the first trailer for Netflix’s Kate, in which Mary Elizabeth Winstead becoming a bonafide action hero as a ruthless assassin on a hunt for revenge in Tokyo. Between this, The Old Guard and Gunpowder Milkshake, I’m here for Netflix pumping out female-led action flicks (though the optics of Winstead’s character fighting only Japanese antagonists in this climate is…not great).

Hannah Waddingham and Juno Temple: Ted Lasso’s Unlikely BFFs

Ted-Lasso-Hannah-Waddingham-and-Juno-Temple

-I love this profile on Ted Lasso costars and friends Hannah Waddingham and Juno Temple. They talk masculinity, sports, and how Waddingham considers Temple a “fairy godmother unicorn” to her daughter.

-Meanwhile, one thing that came up repeatedly in Jason Sudeikis’ GQ profile is how much like Ted Lasso his friends think he is. Here’s more proof: a journalist shared an email that Sudeikis had written him after their interview three years ago, in which the reporter mentioned that he’d recently lost his dad. It is the most heartwarming, positive, Lasso-esque thing ever. “It’s important and fucking necessary for us human beings to do that. To connect. To share. And to not concern ourselves too much with the outcome of such bravery. Especially the men of the world. Our generation is the first to “understand” that notion, but darn it, I’d love to try and be the first generation of fellas to “live” the notion as well.”

-This is a great deep dive into the inexplicable allure of Pete Davidson.

-In court yesterday, Britney Spears said she wants to charge her father with conservatorship abuse. “I want to press charges against my father today. I want an investigation into my dad….I was always extremely scared of my dad.” She also said her hair vitamins and coffee have been confiscated (“Ma’am, that’s not abuse, that’s just f*cking cruelty. Excuse my language, but it’s the truth”). She gave a shout out to the #FreeBritney movement and used the hashtag for the first time.

Ashton Kutcher said Mila Kunis convinced him to give up his Virgin Galactic ticket. “My wife basically encouraged that it was not a smart family decision to be heading into space when we have young children.”

-I’ve always liked Chrissy Teigen but her latest post is nuts. We’re all emotionally battered from the pandemic, Cubans are starving, Nasa is warning that the moon is wobbling, and she’s over here making posts complaining about being “cancelled”??!? First, if your platform includes 34M Insta followers and 13M Twitter followers, you are anything but cancelled. Second, I will never understand celebrities who don’t seem to have friends they can complain about this shit with in a group chat, rather than airing it all in public.

-The reviews for Apple’s Schmigadoon are decidedly mixed, but I’m still looking forward to it.

-YouTuber and TikToker Hunter “Echo” Ecimovic did an Instagram livestream on Tuesday, saying that he “groomed” Mille Bobbie Brown. She’s having none of it.

-I know people really liked the Loki finale, but that was extremely unsatisfying to me. It felt more like a big setup for the future of the MCU, rather than the conclusion of the story they were trying to tell. A show that has — up until this point — been so centered on Loki had a finale that just….wasn’t. (The guest star killed it though.)

-Here’s the first trailer for Taika Waititi‘s new Hulu show Reservation Dogs.
