harpers-april-2018-jennifer-lopez

-The photography for Jennifer Lopez‘s new Harper’s Bazaar spread is amazing. The interview is just ok (though I do appreciate the fact that she has a pillow that says “I am youthful and timeless at every age”).

-If you’re looking for a good read, check out this Terry Crews interview, in which he talks about how his relationship to Hollywood changed since he joined the #MeToo movement. “I walk in the room, and the room is split right down the middle…People don’t understand that Hollywood is a very violent place. The best way to put it is that it’s like a plantation. You use extreme violence. You see a lot of people who never work again. For even speaking up the whole thing is that they cut your head off so that the next person doesn’t speak.”

-Also, I love that all the comments on the article are so supportive. When does the internet ever do that?

–Rihanna responded to Snapchat’s disgusting ad. I still can’t believe they did this.

-More than half a million people watched Drake play Fortnite on Twitch last night.

-Thanks to Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett, everyone is googling “penis facial” today.

-This isn’t a good sign: Deadshot 2 is reportedly getting reshoots based on early audience test screenings.

-Is Kendall Jenner‘s new video for Vogue art? Satire? A real thing that people actually spent money to produce?

-Anytime Jennifer Garner reunites with her SpyDaddy Victor Garber, it makes me unreasonably happy.

–Justin Timberlake is playing his second show in Toronto tonight, and ticket prices have reportedly been cut by half because no one is going.

–Anderson Cooper and boyfriend Benjamin Maisani have split after nine years together.

-The guy from The Streets is making a movie based on Dawson’s Creek dialogue and I’m here for it.

-An Vulture interview with Aaron Sorkin has ended up in the middle of a lawsuit.

–Blake Lively is having more fun than you.

-When the lead actress of your TV show says “For me the bucket list is checked. I mean, if you guys killed me off tomorrow, I feel like I had a good run,” you might have a problem.

-I don’t think Star stories usually hold a lot of weight, but this one on Justin Theroux certainly lines up with a lot of blind items.

–Miley Cyrus is being sued by someone who claims she ripped off his song.

–Shailene Woodley and Sam Claflin are lost at sea in the Adrift trailer.

Oscar Isaac Is Going to Be a Daddy (Not Yours, Tho)

-Your internet boyfriend  Oscar Isaac is having a baby with documentarian Elvira Lind.

–Scarlett Johansson said of the Ghost In The Shell casting controversy: “I would never attempt to play a person of a different race.” Um sweetie, what do you think you just did?

-Good thing Emmy Rossum just got that Shameless pay bump: she had $150,000 worth of jewelry stolen in a home burglary.

-The U.S. version of the Love Actually sequel will have additional scenes apparently, because Laura Linney will appear in it. Her character better be incandescently happy (and have burned that wooly hat she wore to the wedding).

–Aaron Sorkin would like you to know that he is, in fact, aware of Hollywood’s diversity problem. Uh huh.

–Ryan Gosling‘s got a real shrill streak going on this month.

–Mandy Moore doesn’t want to hear your morbid Frozen/Tangled fan theories, ok?

-Here’s our first look at Jake Gyllenhaal and Tilda Swinton in Okja, Bong Joon-ho’s follow-up to Snowpiercer. This is basically the reason I renewed my Netflix subscription, y’all.

–Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman are reuniting to cohost an NBC reality competition about artisans who make things with their hands. Don’t care; will watch.

-The internet is NOT happy Cuba Gooding Jr. for lifting Sarah Paulson’s skirt.

-Is this a photo of Samantha Bee getting screeched in? How adorably Canadian!

-Welp, this blind item might explain that bizarre TV news I mentioned yesterday.

-The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air cast are reunited in this very cute pic.

-I really liked this article on how “camp” is often improperly and broadly applied to pop culture that features so-called “unlikable” female characters.

-I also dug this take on how the  “10-hour movie” trend in prestige TV is infuriating (which comes with this handy list).

-I will never NOT link to a story about Reese Witherspoon’s drunken dancing. Never!

-Here’s the Ghost Story trailer, which combines the two people I don’t need to see in another movie this decade: Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara.

–This photo made me feel really bad for Justin Bieber.

-And this video made me feel really bad for Selena Gomez.

-I assumed Aaron Sorkin‘s comments in which he appeared to be unaware of Hollywood’s diversity problem were sarcastic, but then I remembered this. And this. So yeah, he just sucks. It’s crazy that someone who writes the most self-aware characters has none of that self-awareness himself.

–Katey Sagal opened up about welcoming her ‘beautiful miracle’ Esme via surrogate when she was too old to carry a child.

-One Direction’s Liam Payne is a dad now.

-It’s stupid that they didn’t release the full Red Nose Day Love Actually scene on iTunes in North America and raise a ton for charity. No one is waiting two months to watch it on NBC.

-Speaking of Red Nose Day, James Corden and Take That were very cute.

-I am very glad Bravo Canada has picked up The Handmaid’s Tale. Yay!

–Terrence Howard now says being abusive is not part of his history. Wait, we can do that??! In that case, I most certainly did not take belly-dancing for a year and end up at a recital wearing nothing but undergarments and a sheer skirt….

-Between David Milch joining True Detective’s third season, and Katie Cassidy returning to Arrow as a regular,  I literally don’t understand any of today’s TV announcements.

-The Justice League trailer is here, and it’s kind of a mess.

Sony’s upcoming Spider-Man universe won’t be connected to the MCU. But wasn’t he introduced in the last Captain America movie? Ugh, so confusing. At least the new trailer is cute.
