-In her Elle cover story, Rachel Zegler says it was “a real gut punch” to be repeatedly questioned about costar Ansel Elgort‘s sexual assault allegations on the West Side Story press tour “even though the person in question was present.”
–Ezra Miller has been arrested again in Hawaii. He reportedly grew angry during a gathering at a private residence and was asked to leave, and then threw a chair, which hit a woman in the forehead. This is it, right? There’s no way DC can go ahead with his Flash movie now.
–Lots of rumours that Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde are engaged are floating around the interwebs today.
–Ewan McGregor is reportedly planning to wed Fargo co-star Mary Elizabeth Winstead this week.
-A model was spotted kissing Timothée Chalamet at Coachella and when asked about it, she deflected beautifully: “That is a good question. But a great question would be asking our world leaders why the Earth is now losing 1.2 trillion tons of ice each year due to global warming and why climate crisis reform has been completely ineffective. I encourage you to contact your local representatives and ask them that.”
–Drake posted a carousel of pics and one of them was with Taylor Swift, leading to lots of speculation that they’re working on something together.
-Oscar-winning actor F. Murray Abraham will not be returning to Mythic Quest — and the lack of an explanation is raising eyebrows. A spokesperson for Lionsgate, the studio that produces the show, confirmed in a terse statement to Vanity Fair: “F. Murray Abraham will not be returning to season three of Mythic Quest. Beyond that, we do not comment on matters concerning personnel.”
–Julia Roberts says she was shocked by how hard Sean Penn slapped her during their onscreen fight scene in Gaslight: “It was astonishing.”
–Johnny Depp took the stand today, blaming his childhood and abusive mother on his issues with drugs and alcohol. He claimed his text and emails threatening Amber Heard were just an example of his “dark humour,”
-The second season of Bridgerton has knocked the show’s first season out of the No. 1 slot on Netflix’s rankings of its most-popular English language-TV series of all time. It’s in 2nd place for most-popular TV series on Netflix overall, just behind Squid Game.
-Meanwhile, for the first time in more than a decade, Netflix posted a subscriber loss. 700K less subscribers can be attributed to Netflix shutting down in Russia, but they also lost 640K subscribers in the US and CAN during the first three months of 2022.
-This 13-second clip convinced me to watch Outer Ranger. Shoulda been their entire marketing campaign.
–Emily VanCamp is returning (via flashbacks) to The Resident’s season finale so they can wrap up her storyline and allow Matt Czuchry‘s character to pursue another relationship. My mom will be so happy!
-There’s no new Abbott Elementary this week, but they’re making up for it by releasing some bloopers.
-The new Thor trailer got over 209 million views in its first 24 hours of release.
–Emmy Rossum is unrecognizable as an L.A. icon in the trailer for Peacock’s Angelyne.
