Sarah-Jessica-Parker-Vogue

-In anticipation of And Just Like That, Sarah Jessica Parker graces the new issue of Vogue. She talks about the reaction to photos from the SATC reboot (“There’s so much misogynist chatter in response to us that would never. Happen. About. A. Man. ‘Gray hair gray hair gray hair. Does she have gray hair?’ I’m sitting with Andy Cohen and he has a full head of gray hair, and he’s exquisite. Why is it okay for him?”) and talks about juggling career with family (“I don’t have any tips and tricks, except that I’m incredibly fortunate that I have childcare and a partner, because so many mothers who work two and three jobs do not”).

-Meanwhile, Kim Cattrall has joined the cast of Peacock’s Queer As Folk.

-DeuxMoi has been hinting at it for weeks, but now it seems like Victoria Pedretti really is dating her You co-star Dylan Arnold. Even though their characters’ age difference was a big plot point on the show, he’s actually a year older than her.

-Succession’s best couple is Tom and Greg, so I’m thrilled that EW did a whole feature on Nicholas Braun and Matthew Macfadyen. Those videos!

-In an interview with The Times, Kirsten Dunst spoke about filming The Power Of The Dog in New Zealand when the pandemic struck. “We would go to the grocery store and take off our clothes and wipe down afterwards. No one knew anything, it was terrifying, and at the time I smoked so I was like, ‘Oh my God, if I get this I am gonna die.’ ”

–Prince Harry said he had warned Jack Dorsey before January 6th that Twitter was being used to plan a coup. “I warned him that his platform was allowing a coup to be staged. That email was sent the day before and then that happened and I haven’t heard from him since.”

-Meanwhile, Meghan Markle says she supports paid leave. “I think this is one of those issues that is not red or blue. We can all agree that people need support certainly when they’ve just had a child. Paid leave, from my standpoint, is just a humanitarian issue.”

–Leonardo DiCaprio is in talks to play Jim Jones in a movie about the Peoples Temple. Ooh boy, this could go really wrong.

-Early reaction to House of Gucci is all over the place, though most critics seem impressed by Lady Gaga’s performance.

-I love that People included SNL’s Bowen Yang in their Sexiest Man Alive issue.

–Aaron Rodgers reportedly didn’t expect all the blowback but is standing by his anti-v*x comments. “I don’t only talk to ‘yes’ people or people who allow me to live in an echo chamber of my own thoughts and beliefs.” Which is exactly what that community is but sure.

–Carrie Underwood‘s husband Mike Fisher defended him, saying “I agree with him in that the science clearly shows the vaccinated spread covid at basically the same rate as the unvaccinated.” Which is not true.

–Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is, as always, the voice of reason, saying Rodgers “does not have the right to endanger people around him.”

–Jamie Dornan sang at the Belfast premiere party this week. People that pretty shouldn’t also be so talented. It’s not fair.

-Search Party’s search is nearly over — the HBO Max comedy will end in January with its fifth and final season. I love this show but that makes sense.

-In news that will surprise no one, season two of Squid Game is already in the works.

-The Houston police has declared Travis Scott‘s Astroworld festival a “mass casualty event” after 8 people died and hundreds were injured (including a 9-year-old) after the crowd surged forward during his headlining set and security did not stop the show for 40 minutes. Videos of the audience trying to alert the crew and being ignored are heartbreaking.

–Scott has cancelled his upcoming festival appearances as the lawsuits begin to pour in. Drake, who made a guest appearance at the festival, has also been named in one suit.

–Emily Ratajkowski talked about her new book with the Sunday Times, saying that the exploitation of young women is still common in modeling (“I was not at all shocked by [the Jeffrey Epstein] story. I witnessed so much of that in different forms”), revealed that her teenage boyfriend ‘forced himself’ on her when she was 14 (“So many young women I know, their first early sexual experiences border on nonconsensual”), and said modeling gave her a complex relationship with her body (“There is this sense of your body is not yours, it’s ours. In this contract you’ve given it up to be used how we see fit… If you’re not willing to do what the client wants you to do with your body, then there’s somebody else who will be”).

–Bennifer packed on the pre-flight PDA this weekend.

-According to Page Six, Chris Evans will be this year’s Sexiest Man Alive. I like him a lot but the only interesting thing about this whole thing is that People got scooped.

–Emilio Estevez is pushing back on a report that he’s not doing season two of Mighty Ducks because he refuses to follow the show’s vaccine mandate. He blames his departure on “contract disputes” and “creative differences” and says he contracted covid in March 2020 and suffers from long haul symptoms. Interestingly, his statement doesn’t say anything about him being vaccinated.

-Production on Black Panther 2 has halted due to Letitia Wright‘s experiencing an “onset injury.”

-In an open letter, George Clooney asked the media to stop publishing photos of his kids. I can’t recall ever seeing any, but I rarely follow the British press.

-A Kelly Clarkson holiday special is coming to NBC next month.

–Isaiah Washington tweeted about how he’d be happy to return to Grey’s and play the lead, as long as Ellen Pompeo was “finally gone”. This is unhinged.

-This is such a great profile on Simon Rex and the highs and lows of celebrity. He partied his way through the early aughts, lost his career for a decade, and is now being lauded by critics for his role in festival darling Red Rocket.

–Will Smith reportedly gave the best wrap gift ever to his King Richard costars: cold, hard cash.

-I saw Eternals this weekend and while it wasn’t my fave Marvel movie, it certainly wasn’t as bad as Iron Man 2 or some of the Thor or Hulk movies, despite getting worse reviews. This is a good piece on how Chloé Zhao may be being punished for playing the Marvel good soldier.

-After Eternals got banned in Saudi Arabia and more due to its openly gay superhero, Angelina Jolie responded: “I’m proud of Marvel for refusing to cut [gay] scenes out…How anybody is angry about it, threatened by it, doesn’t approve or appreciate it is ignorant.”

-Speaking of Eternals, I really liked Chloé Zhao’s answer about Kumail Nanjiani‘s character’s decision, which I don’t think I’ve ever seen in a superhero film before. (I did not, however, agree with her answer about referencing a real-life tragedy in the film.)

–Paul Rudd and Will Ferrell‘s new Apple show Shrink Next Door is getting good reviews.

–Ben Gibbard talked about the legacy of Death Cab for Cutie’s The Photo Album, which is 20 years old. He says his favorite use of a Death Cab song on TV was The OC, which of course it is.

–Benedict Cumberbatch goes west in the trailer for Netflix’s The Power of the Dog, Jane Campion‘s latest which is getting serious Oscar buzz.

Shailene Woodley covers THR,

–Shailene Woodley covers THR, and says she and Aaron Rodgers were engaged a while before announcing it. “When we announced that we were engaged, we wanted to do that only because we didn’t want someone else to do it before we did,” Woodley says. “And we didn’t do it for months and months after we had become engaged, but the reaction to it was really a lot, and so we were like, ‘Let’s just politely decline [to talk about the relationship] for a little while and live in our little bubble.'” I’m not sure why she’d want to reintroduce speculation about their relationship timeline when it had finally died down, but here we are again.
