Chloë Grace Moretz Hugs Ex Brooklyn Beckham on Teen Vogue

chloe-grace-moretz-brooklyn-beckham-teen-vogue

-Welp. This is awkward: Chloë Grace Moretz’s Teen Vogue cover features her now ex-boyfriend, Brooklyn Beckham. Even more awkward: in the interview she talks about how their relationship “can withstand space and time.”

-The is an excellent video editorial from Jay Z on how we have to end the war on drugs.

-Mary J. Blige‘s estranged husband asked for spousal support — and she’s refused.

-You can now watch the first 5 minutes of Fox’s Rocky Horror.

-Contrary to reports, Jonah Hill says he hasn’t actually cancelled all French press for War Dogs after being mocked on TV for his sex life. The host apologized to him (but has he apologized to her for starting the whole thing by telling her “I hear you get sodomized pretty often”?).

-Every TV critic I love is gushing about Amazon’s new show Fleabag. How do we get this in Canada STAT?

-Speaking of critical love, I’m glad to see the Netflix version of Black Mirror is getting such good reviews.

–Bobbi Kristini‘s boyfriend was found legally responsible in that wrongful-death lawsuit.

–Mark Walhberg has stopped trying to get those old assault charges pardoned. One of my friends interviewed him this week and says he’s mellowed considerably over the years. But he’s still, you know, him.

-How much TV are you going to watch this fall? Vulture’s handy calculator will let you know exactly how guilty you should feel about it.

-Well, this is embarrassing: the wife of the Light Between the Oceans director is slamming bad reviews in a new essay.

-I probably won’t see the new Bridget Jones movie for a week or two because after TIFF I don’t want to step inside another theatre for a while, but people are already writing articles about the ending.

-The new Honest Trailer for Captain America is now making me question why I liked that movie.

 

The Chainsmokers Brag About Drinking, Dicks in Billboard

-I’m here for that Chainsmokers song, but not this terrible interview.

–Diane Kruger and Garrett Hedlund went to dinner together?? My TIFF-addled brain doesn’t even know how to process this…

–Kanye West said he’s “so hurt” at Kid Cudi’s comments (though he sounds more pissed than hurt, saying “Don’t ever mention ‘Ye name. I birthed you.”) Drake, meanwhile, went for the corny diss: “You need to cud-it.” Oh, child.

–Gwyneth Paltrow at a Beyoncé concert is the most relatable she’s ever been.

–Katy Perry and Jenna Dewan & Channing Tatum also attended the show.

-The brutally honest Emmy ballot is always an eye-opening read.

–Michelle Rodriguez had a not great response to people upset over her new transgender movie: “We’re not trying to get psychological or deep about it so lay off. It’s an entertainment piece. Calm down, guys.”

-There’s a new Doctor Strange featurette. God, this movie already feels like a chore.

–Ellen DeGeneres took Michelle Obama to a CVS to show her how normal people live.

–Olivia Wilde is mad that people don’t give up their subway seats to expectant women. I saw her last week and forgot she’s pregnant, but she’s really, really pregnant.

-The Night Of’s Riz Ahmed penned a thoughtful essay on airport detentions and Hollywood roles.

-After TIFF, Emma Stone and Natalie Portman have pulled into the lead in the best actress race.

–Giles from Buffy is in a sad movie about a cat? Sold!

-The first full Moana trailer is pretty damn great.

Jimmy Kimmel Channels Marcia Clark for THR

–Jimmy Kimmel poses as as Marcia Clark, Jon Snow and Mr. Robot for THR’s new Emmy cover story. The interview is really good, with him talking about surviving ABC even though “it became a very female network. And suddenly my antics were out of place,” his weird ‘no eating two days a week’ diet, and his foodie travel planning.

–Kristen Bell introduces Pinksourcing, where women are a bargain at the workplace since you only have to pay them 77 cents on the dollar!

-Kim Kardashian took 1,500 selfies a day on her Mexico vacation. I don’t think she knows what the word “vacation” means.

–Britney Spears got bored so she decided to see if she could still do mid-air splits. Hasn’t she heard of Netflix binges?

-Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner is a novelist now.

–Sofia Vergara is the highest-paid actress on TV. Now think about the work Keri Russell, Tatiana Maslany, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Constance Wu, Sarah Paulson, Aya Cash, Voila Davis, Maura Tierney and Carrie Coon did this year and try not to cry.

-Speaking of actresses doing wonderful work on the small screen, I love this article on how Jane The Virgin’s Gina Rodriguez has the trickiest job on TV.

-Meanwhile in TV news, here’s a good look at how each of the 5 networks are trying to win this year. (I just realized that I’m not watching one single returning show on NBC, Fox, ABC or CBS. Weird.) I’m also so curious to see how Supergirl fares on the CW. I think it’ll be its number one show, but their hopes that it’ll pull in half of its CBS audience seem crazy optimistic to me.

–Lance Bass is trying to convince us that Chris Kirkpatrick was the member of ‘N Sync who slept with the most people. Cute.

–Renée Zellweger wrestled Jimmy Fallon last night and won.

–Kid Cudi went off on Twitter today, saying (among other things) that Kanye and Drake don’t give a f*ck about him.

-Adorable though probably regrettable: GoT costars Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner got matching tattoos.

–Rebecca Hall confirmed that her Iron Man 3 role was greatly reduced.

-This is a great read on how Gabrielle Union is doing Nate Parker’s job . “The responsibility for serious discussions about rape has instead fallen on another victim.”

-The new Star Trek series for CBS has been delayed until May, while the Good Wife spinoff has been moved up.

-THR’s oral history of South Park includes an interesting bit about Isaac Hayes quitting. Matt Stone says it was because of the Scientology episode, but Hayes’ son seems to imply it was the Scientologists in his father’s life that made the call after he suffered a stroke. “He was in no position to resign under his own knowledge. At the time, everybody around my father was involved in Scientology — his assistants, the core group of people. So someone quit South Park on Isaac Hayes’ behalf. We don’t know who.”

-Netflix, which pretty much doesn’t cancel anything, say it will end Bloodline.

-The Doctor Strange movie added “an Asian manservant” character to balance Tilda Swinton playing an Asian guru. Not helping, guys.

-A French TV host mocked Jonah Hill’s sex life — after he mocked hers first. I think I love her. (He reportedly canceled all of his French press for the upcoming movie after that interview, because of course he did.)

-Here’s the new trailer for the political thriller Miss Sloane, starring  Jessica Chastain.
