More Ted Lasso Is On Its Way

-Ted Lasso is coming back way earlier than I expected — July 23! Here’s the season 2 trailer.  Rewatching this show got me through the worst of the pandemic (so far).

Billie Eilish might be dating actor Matthew Tyler Vorce.

Demi Lovato apologized for going apeshit on a frozen yogurt shop. She had called them out for their sugar-free, dairy-free, and low-fat options, calling them a “diet culture vulture”. They responded that those were options for customers with health restrictions such as vegans, celiacs, and diabetics. It was such a bizarre story to begin with, but the optics of going after a small business right now didn’t help.

-TikTok Star Bryce Hall has been sued for assault and battery after an altercation at an LA restaurant was caught on camera.

Pete Davidson made it clear to Jake Paul that he’s not a fan.

-The cast of The Good Place (minus Kristen Bell) had a sleepover.

E. Alex Jung profiles are always a must-read, but his conversation with Mads Mikkelsen is an instant classic. Mikklesen talks about the Hannibal finale (“We actually did a couple of takes of the very last scene where we were looking at each other, and it was a little too obvious — it was almost a kiss. Me and Hugh [Dancy] were like, ‘Why not? We have a couple of takes. Let’s do one. It might be cool’…Bryan [Fuller] loved it, but he was like, ‘Too much, guys. It’s too obvious'”), what it was like to become recognizable in Denmark after playing a TV cop (“Since then, I’ve never bought a normal Coca-Cola. It’s always like, “Here’s your cola, Master Mads,” or “Get your fucking Coke, and get out of my shop.” There’s no neutral Coca-Cola anymore”), taking Rihanna‘s fake nails from the set of the “Bitch Better Have My Money” video (When we were done, I was like, “Are you done with them? Can I have some of them? I have a few friends who’re going to be so jealous when I show them this'”), and possibly the best career advice I’ve ever heard (“My approach to what I do in my job — and it might even be the approach to my life — is that everything I do is the most important thing I do…That means I will be ambitious with my job and not with my career. That’s a very big difference, because if I’m ambitious with my career, everything I do now is just stepping-stones leading to something — a goal I might never reach, and so everything will be disappointing. But if I make everything important, then eventually it will become a career”).

Julia Roberts dances it out in her new Chopard ad.

Taylor Swift‘s alleged stalker was arrested after he tried to break into her apartment. He apparently already has restraining orders from models Bella and Gigi Hadid.

-90210 reboot star AnnaLynne McCord shared her diagnosis of dissociative identity disorder. “All of my roles were splits, but I didn’t even realize I was doing it at all until I did 90210.”

-Game of Thrones’ Iron Anniversary seems to be an attempt to reverse the bitter taste the series finale left fans two years ago.

Kate Winslet‘s new HBO show Mare of Easttown debuted to strong ratings. I’m glad; I dug it.

Kim Kardashian freaked out when she found out she was an inspiration for Bridgerton’s wardrobe — and then quickly tried to finagle a set visit. I would too.

-I keep forgetting that the Oscars are this weekend! Steven Soderbergh, who’s one of the producers, says “You’ll feel like you’re watching a movie.”

-Here’s the trailer for Annette, a musical drama starring Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard, which is set to open Cannes on July 6. This trailer screams “not for me!!”

Penélope Cruz Covers InStyle Spain

Penélope Cruz appears to be aging backwards on the cover of InStyle Spain.

Prince William, Prince Harry, and Kate Middleton walked out of Prince Philip‘s funeral together and appeared to be talking.

Lizzo got a little tipsy on Saturday and decided to slide into Chris Evans’ DMs. (We’ve all been there.) He responded, “No shame in a drunk DM. God knows I’ve done worse on this app lol”

-X Files alums Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny reunited this weekend and hung out with her dog.

-Homeland’s Damian Lewis wrote about the passing of his wife, Harry Potter’s Helen McCrory, and it’s lovely and funny and devastating. “She said to us from her bed, ‘I want Daddy to have girlfriends, lots of them, you must all love again, love isn’t possessive, but you know, Damian, try at least to get though the funeral without snogging someone.’ ”

-Netflix’s mother/daughter coming of age series Ginny & Georgia will return for a second season.

-According to THR, Broadway star Sutton Foster issued an ultimatum on set of the Scott Rudin-produced Broadway revival of The Music Man: if he didn’t step down amid the allegations of workplace abuse, she’d quit.

-The Zoe Kravitz and Taylour Paige post might just be about a new project they’re working on together, but we can still dream. Paige was dating Jesse Williams last we heard.

-Oh great, now Jim Caviezel is pushing Q*non theories.

-YouTuber Jeffree Star is in the hospital recovering from a car crash.

Dominic Purcell posted on Instagram that he’s leaving Legends of Tomorrow, and it does NOT sound amicable.

-This is a really good thread about a big issue I’m having with The Falcon and the Winter Solider.

Olivia Colman is in talks to join Samuel L. Jackson in Marvel’s Secret Invasion. God yes, get that Marvel money.

Issa_Rae-rolling stone

Issa Rae talks about building her comedy empire in her Rolling Stone interview, which features an EXCELLENT cover.

-Actually, it seems like this whole week has been a series of excellent magazine covers, including Christina Aguilera on Health, the creators of Minari on THR, and Lucy Lui on Women’s Health.

Chrissy Teigen just couldn’t stay away from Twitter. I feel that.

-British actress Helen McCrory, best known for her performances in Peaky Blinders, Penny Dreadful, and as Narcissa Malfoy in the Harry Potter franchise, has died at the age of 52 after a battle with cancer.

-There’s rumours surrounding Drake and Kim Kardashian, and I just can’t.

-Following the success of Barb & Star, Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo are teaming up now with Disney to develop a musical comedy focused on Cinderella’s evil stepsisters. Ok, but I also want more Barb & Star.

Prince Philip was apparently super fascinated by aliens and UFOs, which weirdly makes me like him more.

Carey Mulligan has joined the cast of Adam Sandler’s next movie, which I’m assuming is more Uncut Gems than Just Go With It.

Milo Gibson and Laurence Fishburne star in the trailer for Under The Stadium Lights, the true story of a small-town high school football team who beat all the odds to win their state championship.
