–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!

–Kim Kardashian is firing back at her ex-husband Kanye West after he publicly blasted the reality star about allowing their 8-year-old daughter to post on TikTok “against my will.” She posted on Instagram Stories, “Kanye’s constant attacks on me in interviews and on social media is actually more hurtful than any TikTok North might create.”

–Sarah Jessica Parker explained why she wouldn’t be cool with Kim Cattrall joining the SATC revival. “I don’t think I would [be ok with it], because I think there’s just too much public history of feelings on her part that she’s shared…We didn’t go to Kim for this, you know. After we didn’t do the movie and the studio couldn’t meet what she wanted to do, we have to hear her and listen to her and what was important to her. It didn’t fit into what was important or needed for us.” She added, “There’s a very distinct line between Samantha and Kim. Samantha’s not gone. Samantha’s present, and I think was handled with such respect and elegance. She wasn’t villainized. She was a human being who had feelings about a relationship, so I think we found a way to address it which was necessary and important for people that loved her.”

-Meanwhile, poor Sara Ramirez had to address the negative responses to their character on And Just Like That. “I’m very aware of the hate that exists online, but I have to protect my own mental health and my own artistry. We have built a character who is a human being, who is imperfect, who is complex and who is not here to be liked…I’m also not in control of the writing.”

-No surprise here: HBO has renewed Euphoria for season 3.

–Pamela Anderson is reportedly re-traumatized by Hulu’s Pam & Tommy, which she did not consent to. This piece makes a good point: “[The sex tape was] stolen and distributed at great profit to various men. And the story of that piracy is now being sold as a TV series… at great profit to the team who made it. Without the consent of the woman at its center.”

-Also, the show focuses on the time period surrounding the release of the tape, completely ignoring the reports of abuse later on in their relationship.

Jennifer Lopez on Her “Beautiful Love Story” with Ben Affleck

–Jennifer Lopez is in full swing for her Marry Me promo tour (a movie that looks awful and that I will definitely be seeing in theatres, covid permitting). She covers People magazine and is featured in the NYT (in which Affleck makes a PDA-filled appearance as “the dutiful boyfriend”).

–Cillian Murphy is profiled in Esquire and talks about the late Helen McCrory, his Peaky Blinders costar. “She was a dear, dear pal and she was the beating heart of that show, so it felt very strange being on set without her. The difficult thing to comprehend is that, if it wasn’t for Covid, there would be a whole other version of this show with Helen in it. But she was so private and so fucking brave and courageous.”

-This is a great Q&A with Michael Patrick King on the Sex and the City revival, mostly because he’s asked about the fan hate for Che.

–David Beckham opened up about dinner in their household – including the sad revelation that Victoria has eaten the same meal every day since he met her more than 25 years ago. “She only eats grilled fish, steamed vegetables; she will very rarely deviate from that. The only time she’s probably ever shared something that’s been on my plate was actually when she was pregnant with Harper, and it was the most amazing thing…It was one of my favorite evenings. I can’t remember what it was but I know she’s not eaten it since!”

–Renée Zellweger is wearing a fat suit for her new role in the true-crime series The Thing About Pam, and I don’t understand how this is still happening. Stop hiring size 2s to play people who aren’t size 2!
