–Cate Blanchett tells Vanity Fair that Tár was the most “all-consuming, life-affirming” endeavour she’s ever taken on — and it could make her a three-time Oscar winner.
-She also did a cute video on Australian slang, explaining everything a “thingo” to a “pash.”
-People are really upset with the theory that the last act of Tár is a dream. I don’t think it is, but I don’t mind that interpretation. The breadcrumbs about it not being real or it being a ghost store are there if you want to follow them.
–Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have welcomed baby no. 4.
-In her first major interview since Batgirl was shelved, Leslie Grace opens up about the movie’s cancellation, which she learned about from the NY Post breaking the news: “I found out like the rest of you. And then my phone just started blowing up. I thought I was getting punked, but it checked out. Then came hysterical laughter like, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me?’…When we were expecting XYZ amount of support and money to expand scenes — to do pickup shots and those kinds of things — that was a gut punch. But then we learned that it was in the interest of writing down some debt? That part really stung.”
–Colin Farrell talked about being newly sober and meeting his Banshee’s costar Brendan Gleeson. “He said ‘will ya have a drink?’ opened his hotel fridge saying ‘I’ve still or sparkling’. In that moment, I fell in love with him as he had gone out and bought them. I thought ‘that’s a fella who’ll look after you.'”
–Penn Badgley keeps saying a lot of head-scratching stuff during the new season of You’s promo tour, considering the morality of the show he’s promoting. When asked about the popularity of Netflix’s Jeffrey Dahmer show, he said that viewers who find themselves fixated on killers to “need to look at that, inside.” He added, “To be fair, with our show, you’re meant to fall in love with [Joe]. That’s on us. [But] Ted Bundy? That’s on you. Jeffrey Dahmer? That is on — Netflix. That is squarely on the shoulders of Netflix.”
-Ok, but this is cute tho.
-Paramore’s Hayley Williams talked about her divorce from New Found Glory guitarist Chad Gilbert, and says she wasn’t aware she was depressed during their relationship. “I was so in denial! I was very ignorant about what depression really looks like in your day-to-day life. I wasn’t really aware that I had anything more than just some bad days. It was my physical health that jolted me awake. It helped me to get out of a toxic, bad relationship, but it did not answer any other questions for me.”
-What is it with the Joker movies not giving extras enough pee breaks?
-For all the cameo rumours surrounding Rihanna’s halftime show, no one predicted the real guest star – her fetus.
-Opinions seems split on her set, which featured no guest stars and minimal choreography.
–Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly reportedly “had a big fight” during Super Bowl weekend and the actress deleted photos of him and posted a cryptic Beyonce lyric about dishonesty before deleting her whole account.
-In terms of Super Bowl ads, my favourite were Bradley Cooper and his mom’s T-Mobile ad, Will Ferrell joining the cast of Netflix shows for GM, Ben Affleck and JLo for Dunkin‘, and Dave Grohl appreciating Canada for Crown Royal.
-When it came to Super Bowl trailers, it felt a little overwhelming compared to other years. We got Ben Affleck and Matt Damon‘s Air, Creed III, Fast X, Guardians of the Galaxy 3, and Indiana Jones. The best of the bunch, I’m sad to say, was The Flash trailer.
