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.

Kourtney Kardashian Set Boundaries

Kourtney-Kardashian-bustle

-For Bustle’s March cover story, Kourtney Kardashian talks about Travis Barker, starting Poosh, setting boundaries for things like “rest” with her driven family, and finally being happy. “I see the growth that comes from those unhappy places which make it all worth it. I’m like, ‘If we didn’t go through these roller coasters, you wouldn’t get to the good part.'”

-I know I say this every week, but Kanye West‘s behavior continues to be scary and no one seems to be doing anything about it. Today he released an alarming video for his song “Eazy,” featuring a claymation version of Pete Davidson being kidnapped, tied up, and buried alive. Claymation is hard — dozens if not hundreds of people would have worked on this video. And no one stopped to say “Um, are we maybe crossing a line here?”

-A TikToker explained those bizarre designer giveaways the Kardashians are always doing on their Instagram, which seem totally off-brand. They’re reportedly making $1.8 million on the latest one, which is very on-brand.

-I feel like 87% of The Batman’s marketing is relying on Robert Pattinson and Zoe Kravitz’s chemistry, and I don’t hate it.

–Robert Pattinson admits to spending time anonymously responding to comments on online message boards. “It’s extremely helpful to have these fan theories. I used to look at a lot of the forum stuff and it actually really did inform my character a lot. Still look at it nowadays… I generally lurk. Sometimes I get pushed a little far and I have to respond.”

–Paul Dano says his Riddler would play Wordle: “That actually was very important to my backstory … puzzles were the only place that he would be given any form of positive feedback … They were the only thing that ever said to him in his whole life, you win.”

-Bridgerton’s Charithra Chandran deactivated her Twitter account because Kanthony fans were being terrible to her. Not only should actors not have to deal with hate for their characters, but this doesn’t even make sense because her character in the book is great! The supposed “love triangle” doesn’t ever really materialize.

-The Shanna Moakler saga continues to grow complicated. A week after her ex-boyfriend Matthew Rondeau was arrested for felony domestic violence after an altercation at her house, she says she took a pregnancy test and it’s positive.

–Skylar Astin already has a post-Playlist gig lined up; he is headed to Grey’s Anatomy.

-This is a cute video with Sarah Jessica Parker looking back at her fashion evolution.

–Colin Farrell is the latest celeb to eat spicy wings on Hot Ones.

-Speaking of Colin Farrell, his new movie After Yang is getting raves, and not just for this incredible opening dance sequence.

–Adam Scott posted the first pic from the Party Down revival and I missed these pink bowtied nerds so much!

-The trailer for Jake Johnson‘s new HBO show Minx is working for me.

–Sebastian Stan flirts with Daisy Edgar-Jones over cotton candy grapes in a new clip from Hulu’s Fresh.

–Chris Pine and Thandiwe Newton star in the trailer for the sexy new spy thriller All the Old Knives.

Robert Pattinson and Zoë Kravitz’s Simmering Shoot

–Robert Pattinson and Zoë Kravitz‘s digital cover for EW is 14 different kinds of hotness. Ditto for the portraits. Whew! In the interview, they talk about knowing each other for more than a decade, and how this film’s version of Bruce Wayne is still evolving.

-In her People cover story, Linda Evangelista shares the first photos of her body since being disfigured during a cool sculpt cosmetic procedure. It’s a sobering look at the cost of living up to societal beauty standards while ageing.

–Shailene Woodley and Aaron Rodgers have reportedly called off their engagement. Love this for her!

–Britney Spears revealed that Congress invited her to speak about conservatorships.

–This is a good piece on how Kanye West’s behavior towards Kim Kardashian should not be covered as romantic or gossip fodder. “It’s objectively disgusting to read defenses of Kardashian with qualifiers like, ‘I don’t like Kim, but…’ — Your opinion on Kardashian does not matter. What does matter is your opinion on intimate partner violence, of which stalking is one. A man stalking their partner who is trying to leave is unacceptable.”

-Gird your loins; Pete Davidson just joined Insta.

–Jimmy Kimmel proved that guys don’t know basic facts about their girlfriends.

-Yellowstone actor Forrie J. Smith will not attend the SAG Awards because of their covid rules. “I haven’t been vaccinated since I was a little kid. I don’t vaccinate my dogs, I don’t vaccinate my horses. I’ve never had a flu shot. I never will. I believe they compromise your immunities…It’s just my beliefs.”

–Ariana Grande shared a rare photo of her with hubby Dalton Gomez.

-Like many of us, Sex and  the City author Candace Bushnell was not sold on And Just Like That. “I’m really startled by a lot of the decisions made in the reboot. HBO decided to put this franchise back into their hands for a variety of reasons, and this is what they came up with.”

-Also, Bushnell reminiscing about what magazine writers used to get paid makes my stomach hurt.

-I love this look on Blake Lively at New York Fashion Week.

-TikTok stars are revolting against manager Brad Lambert, saying he was leeching off them and their talent; he says they’re just naïve kids who don’t understand how Hollywood works.

–Mindy Kaling just inked a deal with Amazon Publishing and Amazon Studios that will see her curating her own literary line, Mindy’s Book Studio, and adapting the material into feature films for Prime Video.

–Dua Lipa making fun of her reputation for being a bad dancer is pretty great.

-If you read any romance/chick lit books over the past year, this Valentine’s week check-in on popular characters is totally adorable.

-Here’s the first trailer for Our Flag Means Death, HBO Max’s pirate comedy starring Rhys Darby and Taika Waititi.

–Jamie Dornan plays a British man who is pursued by a large tank truck in the Australian outback in the trailer for HBO Max’s The Tourist.
