Gilmore Girls’ Last Four Words

gilmore-girls-last-four-words

-I’m going to my BFF’s viewing party tomorrow which means I have to stay strong and not watch any of the Gilmore Girls until then, but my Twitter TL seemed not super impressed by the last four words. (Don’t click if, like me, you don’t want to know!)

-Meanwhile, Gilmore Girls star Lauren Graham talks about finally finding love in Hollywood with her Parenthood costar, Peter Krause. Aww.

-Everyone else might be celebrating Black Friday, but I’m celebrating CDAN’s annual blind item reveal day! I take that site with a giant grain of salt, but it’s fun.  The especially juicy reveals are here, here,  here, and here.

-Good news: Kayne West is apparently on the mend.

-These photos of Mariah Carey pretending to grocery shop are giving me life!

-Listen to Scarlett Johansson’s song ‘Set It All Free‘ from the Sing soundtrack.

-Despite reports of a split, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom spent Thanksgiving together.

-The Walking Dead’s ratings keep hitting new lows. This is what happens when you treat your audience like shit.

–Selena Gomez broke her social media silence with a heartwarming note to her fans, calling her year the “hardest yet most rewarding one yet.”

–Joel Coen and Frances McDormand had a delightful Thanksgiving that involved squats. (This led me down a rabbit hole of their kid’s Instagram — and I stared at this photo for way longer than is probably socially acceptable.)

–Jon Hamm was maybe not the nicest drunk.

–Adele says she’s going to have another baby when her tour wraps. Yay?

–Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt‘s new Passengers trailer is just begging you to guess the twist.

–K-2SO steals the show in the latest Rogue One promo.

Jennifer Lawrence Talks Friendship with Emma Stone

–Jennifer Lawrence continues to expertly straddle the line between relatability and oversharing in her Vanity Fair cover story, revealing that she and Emma Stone texted each other every day for a year, and that her biggest irrational fears are the Zika virus and her privates turning into a “wet sponge.” Kay.

–Kanye West’s condition actually sounds way worse than first reported.

-I go away for a few days and Katy Perry & Orlando Bloom reportedly split? I should vacation more often.

-In THR’s actresses roundtable, Amy Adams rightfully wonders why producers are never asked about the pay gap the way actresses are.

-Meanwhile,  director Tom Ford Googled “best American actresses” before hiring Amy.

-The Gilmore Girls revival drops tomorrow! (I’m not watching until a viewing party on Saturday, which might be the greatest test of my self-control ever.) Here’s what critics are saying.

–Scott Patterson is teasing the last four words of the series. I don’t know why people care about that so much. (For what it’s worth, I’m guessing it’s the name of Amy Sherman-Palladino‘s production company: Dorothy Parker drank here.)

-Also, Lauren Graham just proved she can speak as fast as Lorelai.

-Meanwhile, everyone is expecting the GG revival to break the internet because it’s so much more popular now then when it first aired. This reminds me of the little punk in front of me at the Luke’s popup a couple of weeks ago who was telling his friend that his mom and sister used to watch the show “live! Like, back in the day, with commercials and everything!” I somehow managed to not throat-punch him. OG fans FTW!

-That Spanish fan who was punched by Justin Bieber is may take legal measures. Of course.

–Leah Remini opened up to Ellen about her battle with Scientology: ‘We’ve been victimized.’ She’s demanding the “church” pay her $1.5 million in damages.

–Jon Hamm is cool with the fact that we all know he has a big penis. Ya don’t say.

–Meghan Markle resurfaced on Twitter to thank her friends for being supportive (one can only assume she means during all the Prince Harry hysteria).

-So Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner really are a thing, huh?

-I’m with Lainey on this one. I see Anne Hathaway kissing Cate Blanchett‘s ass way more than I see her being rude, especially on that particular set…

-It really, really bugs me that Chrissy Metz‘s NBC contract for This is Us says that she has to lose weight.

-We finally know what would have happened with Angela and Jordan if My So-Called Life wasn’t cancelled. Said the creator, “I pictured a situation where Angela and Jordan are an item, Delia and Brian are an item, and Angela and Brian are constantly looking to each other for advice and help with their respective dysfunctional relationships.”  Oh, and Patty and Graham would split, obvs.

-I can’t believe Butterball let Stephen Colbert man their turkey hotline, but the results were hilarious. Part 1 and part 2.

-The first full trailer for the CW’s huge four-show crossover is pretty damn epic.

-HBO debuted the Girls final season teaser.

–Lin-Manuel Miranda got SLOSHED for his Hamilton retelling on Drunk History.

–Rashida Jones recalled that time she was attacked by Michael Jackson’s chimpanzee.

-Here’s Adam Driver, Andrew Garfield and Liam Neeson in the trailer for Martin Scorsese’s Silence.

Kaley Cuoco Admits to Nose, Boob Job

kaley-cuoco-boob-job

***NOTE: I need to go someplace warm and veg by a pool for a few days. I’ll be back next week!***

-In a new magazine interview, Kaley Cuoco readily admits that she’s had her nose and breasts done and it’s … weirdly refreshing? That’s where I am with celebrities at this point: pleasantly surprised when they’re not lying their faces off. Sigh.

-Surprise! Nick Cannon confirmed he’s expecting a baby with his ex-girlfriend Brittany Bell.

–Drake‘s crush on sports reporter Doris Burke might be my new favourite thing. “Dinner at my house anytime. As long as she comes alone.”

-Damn, Tom Hiddleston. When you have to dress up in an ape suit to hype your new movie, that’s probably not a good sign.

-Twist! The creator of Gilmore Girls just revealed that Luke was originally written to be a female character.

–Eddie Redmayne says he auditioned for Les Miserables with Taylor Swift and she was “extraordinary.” But not extraordinary enough to get cast, I guess…

–Isla Fisher poked fun of the fact that no one can tell her apart from Amy Adams by pasting Amy’s face over hers on her family holiday card.

-This is a good look at the strange disappearance of Ed, the wonderful charmbomb of a show that time forgot. Now excuse me while I go and rewatch Ed and Carol’s wedding in the finale. *sob*

-Yay! Another new Childish Gambino song has dropped. It’s Prince-y.

-I really liked this conversation between Sarah Jessica Parker, Julianna Margulies and Chelsea Handler about girl breakups. I’m not sure I agree with Margulies that women are more emotional than men. I just think that sometimes female friendships run deeper, but we don’t talk about them or analyze them like we do our relationships, so when shit goes sideways it knocks us down hard.

-This article on how TV is entering film territory when it comes to actor (and showrunner) paydays is nuts. Robert De Niro is getting $750,000 per episode for an upcoming Amazon series, while Meryl Streep is scoring $850k per episode of JJ Abrams’ The Nix, which doesn’t even have a network attached yet.

-Good dress on Nicole Kidman here.

-The international trailer for La La Land has arrived. Also, they released Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone’s duet, which was in my head on repeat for weeks after seeing that movie.

-Oh yeah, The Affair returns this weekend. I really liked last season — and then promptly forgot all about it.

–Jessica Chastain hides people from Nazis in her giant zoo in the new trailer for The Zookeeper’s Wife.
