Emily Blunt Flies High on Vogue

James Corden recruited Noah Centineo in an “All The Boys I’ve Loved Before” parody called “To All the Guests I’ve Loved Before.” I was legit shipping them by the end of this. That’s the power of Centineo!

-Also on Corden’s show, Busy Philipps called out Centineo for ghosting her friend, which he awkwardly laughed off. But TMZ reports that at actor’s team did some damage control and got the segment edited down for the YouTube version so that it wouldn’t damage his “good boy-next-door image.”

-First she was trolling for interviews, now it’s endorsement deals. Lindsay Lohan needs a team.

Viggo Mortensen has apologized after using the n-word at a Green Book panel.

Sir Ian McKellen revealed that he and Dame Judi Dench once misbehaved at Buckingham Palace.

-Meanwhile, the reviews for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald are pretty bleak, hovering around 58% rotten.

-The Affair is doing a 20-year jump into the future, with Anna Paquin joining the cast as Joanie. I guess that’s one way to get around the fact that most of your regulars have jumped ship.

-The first footage from Luther’s new season is here. It’s only supposed to be a couple of episodes but Ruth Wilson is rumoured to be returning and I cannot wait!!

Ezra Miller talks about living on a “polyamorous farm” which, yeah, totally tracks.

-His GQ interview included a goat in labour. I wonder if his publicist had to pay extra for that? (Full disclosure: I couldn’t read the whole thing. Once I got to “I find the presence of cell phones bad for my mood. I can feel cell phones when they’re around” I was worried my retinas would detach from such strenuous eye-rolling…)

Bryan Tyree Henry is best known for Atlanta but he’s doing the press rounds now for both Widows and If Beale Street Could Talk, which means he’s getting the GQ treatment.

-Congrats to Gabrielle Union who, after going public with her troubles with infertility, welcomed a new baby girl with hubby Dwayne Wade today via surrogate.

-Yay, Max Greenfield will reprise his role as Leo on the Veronica Mars reboot. (I loved his character at the time, but it retrospect it was super creepy that a fully grown cop was dating a teenager.) Patton Oswalt will also join the cast.

Halsey would like us all to know that she is not dating John Mayer. Understandable.

A magazine dared ask Nicole Kidman about her relationship with her adopted children Connor and Isabella, but she didn’t really say much: “They are adults. They are able to make their own decisions. They have made choices to be Scientologists and as a mother, it’s my job to love them.”

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are officially, finally, for real, no take-backsies divorced.

-Wow, Olivia Munn does NOT like being referred to as a “tech girl.”

-Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke says she wanted more actors of colour, but author Stephanie Meyer resisted. One day I would love to see a tell-all about how authors like Meyer and E.L. James totally messed up their film adaptations.

Bryan Cranston says he hasn’t seen a script yet for the Breaking Bad movie and is not even sure if he’s in it.

Julia Roberts’ Amazon show Homecoming has left me a little cold (I’m on episode 6 so I’m withholding judgment), but there’s no doubt it’s a technical marvel. This piece on its visual style and inspirations is fascinating.

James Franco and Liam Neeson star in the Coen Bros‘ upcoming anthology western The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.

-Is Noah Centineo still the internet’s boyfriend? I had to stop following him on Instagram because his stories were ruining my crush, but I was back to being charmed by him by the photos in this Hollywood Reporter profile.

-Speaking of yummy profiles, this one on Taylor Kitsch is a good read.

-Breaking Bad is coming back! Vince Gilligan is working on a two-hour movie and it’s rumoured to be about Jesse, which makes me both extremely excited and extremely nervous.

Louis CK is reportedly dating French comedian Blanche Gardin so add her to your prayer list.

Emma Thompson is now Dame Emma Thompson! She wore sneakers and an equal pay pin to the ceremony and tried to kiss Prince William, because she is the best person alive.

-I get why Lindsay Lohan wants to be on Busy Phillip‘s show, but aren’t there people who can do this for her via official channels? ‘Cause this is not a good look.

-On Busy’s show, Olivia Munn revealed that she once got some solid dating advice from Jamie Foxx, and now I just want him to leave me pep talks on my voicemail.

-It’s that time of year again! Oprah has unveiled her favourite things, in case you’re in the market for a $42 candle. (I actually found most of the gifts super affordable. I don’t know if she’s come down to Earth or if GOOP has warped my expectations.)

Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra are reportedly planning to get married next month after just seven months of dating, which seems smart.

-Are you watching Bodyguard on Netflix? Richard Madden never really did it for me on Game of Thrones but on this show? Whoa nelly! Buzzfeed got him to read thirst tweets about himself and it was hilarious.

-Just when you thought The Good Fight couldn’t get any better, Michael Sheen just joined the cast.

Alec Baldwin‘s terrible week continues. His show was just bumped to Saturdays.
