-NYT did a profile on Jimmy Fallon and he came off … not great. I don’t remember another attempt at damage control that made things this much worse. I gave up after the part where he talked about people being upset by his Trump interview and how “it hurt my feelings that they didn’t like it.”
-Twitter did not take kindly to the Fallon profile, either. (It also reminded me of that passage in BossyPants where Amy Poehler destroyed him.)
-Tragic: Rosario Dawson found her cousin dead in the actress’ Los Angeles home last week. No cause of death has been released.
–Taylor Swift is reportedly dating a British actor named Joe Alwyn. She’s been laying low for the past few months — I wonder if she’ll keep it on the DL or make it Instagram official?
–Katharine McPhee is denying rumours that she’s dating 67-year-old David Foster. Wait, what??
-This video of Kendall Jenner falling off a bike has 4 million views. Well done, Internet!
–Will Smith clashed with Pedro Almodóvar over the Netflix controversy at Cannes, and I’m on Will’s side on this one. Streaming services like Netflix make diverse, worldly content easily accessible to everyone no matter where they live.
–Johnny Depp is dating again. Who? Why? How?
–James Corden is returning to host the Grammys in 2018. So basically it’s be another year of late night white dudes hosting all the award shows? Great.
-Pitch’s EP says he would like to shoot a goodbye episode. How about a goodbye three seasons?
-It was CBS’s turn at the upfronts today, where they got pissy that This Is Us has been crowned the biggest new show (it wins in the demo, but Bull actually has more total viewers), and defended the fact that all of their new fall shows have male leads. When pushed by reporters, Les Moonves said “I think we’re fine in terms of the amount of women who are behind the camera and in front of the camera.” See everyone? They’re FINE!
-CBS also announced that Star Trek Discovery takes place “10 years before Kirk, Spock, the Enterprise” and released a new photo and trailer.
-Warner Brothers insists the Justice League movie is totally fine so just ignore all those rumours that say otherwise, guys.
-In other DCU news, Sam Raimi reportedly passed on directing The Flash movie, which Billy Crudup just exited.
-Eff ya! Jordan Peele‘s next project is a Jim Crow-era HBO horror series.
–Jeff Goldblum nearly became the voice of Apple’s Siri? Now that’s all I want.
-The article about The Handmaid’s Tale and how women (white women in particular) are complicit in systems of oppression is well worth a read.
-Hamilton star Daveed Diggs just got cast as the lead in a Snowpiercer TV show and I am here for it.
–Stephen Amell is going to be on the Red Nose Day edition of American Ninja Warrior next week, and this preview shows him nailing the course. All that salmon laddering came in handy.
–Solange Knowles penned an emotional letter addressed to her teenage self about losing her friend in a drive-by shooting and becoming a mother at 17.
–Jimmy Kimmel and Justin Theroux are bringing back your favorite 70s, ’80s, and ’90s sitcoms.
