Priyanka Chopra on the “Professional Hazard” of Social Media

Priyanka Chopra vanity fair

Priyanka Chopra covers Vanity Fair and talks about the social media frenzy that followed after she dropped Nick Jonas‘ name from her Instagram handle. “It’s a very vulnerable feeling, actually, that if I post a picture, everything that’s behind me in that picture is going to be zoomed in on, and people are going to speculate.”

-In a new Harper’s Bazaar profile, artist Anna Marie Tendler reflected on her “surreal and shocking” divorce from comedian John Mulaney.

Britney Spears has responded to her sister Jamie Lynn’s recent ABC News interview in multiple Instagram posts. Britney’s first post mentioned that she had a fever of 104 but her security team wouldn’t leave the premises to get her medicine (or, presumably, a covid test?!), while her latest post said that her sister had “stooped to a whole new level of LOW” and denied Jamie Lynn’s story that she once grabbed a knife and locked them in a room.

Pete Davidson won’t be hosting the Oscars, mostly because he’s too tied to NBC and the show airs on ABC.

-Meanwhile, unverified leaked audio of what seems to be Kanye West’s newest single has the lyric, “God saved me from that crash/ just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s ass.”

Anne Hathaway‘s new look is giving people Devil Wears Prada vibes.

-Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has resumed filming after Letitia Wright was injured in a stunt almost five months ago. (Is it horrible that when I first heard about her injury, I didn’t think that was the real reason she couldn’t film?)

-Everyone leaving Lady Gaga hanging out to dry in this clip from an actress roundtable is amazing.

Geena Davis says she was once denied a role because the leading man said she was too old, even though he was older than her.

-Here’s Prada’s new menwear campaign with Tom Holland.

-This is an excellent debate on the quality of Station Eleven. Personally, I think it’s the best show I’ve seen in ages, but it took me a while to figure out that I liked the odd numbered episodes so much more, and that was because the even numbered ones tended to focus on the travelling symphony. I still haven’t watched the finale yet cause I adored episode 9 so much, I kind of want to savor it.

-Speaking of buzzy shows, I like this piece about how Yellowjackets is great because you can either get really deep into theorizing or just ignore the theories completely. (I need to catch up on episodes, but I also think the comparison to Annihilation is spot on.)

-Aw man, Netflix is raising its prices again in the US and Canada.

-Orange Is the New Black’s Danielle Brooks showed off her wedding pics. That dress is stunning.

-FX has ordered a Justified revival, with Timothy Olyphant set to return as Raylan in the limited series.

-Here’s the trailer for Netflix’s limited series Inventing Anna, which is Shonda Rhimes‘ latest and is getting lots of buzz.

Janet Jackson Controls Her Narrative

Janet Jackson is on the February cover of Allure, and the Tim Munro-shot photoshoot looks like something out of dystopian movie that I really want to see. She talks about life in England, why she produced a documentary about herself, and how the way the world interacts with female artists has shifted.

Alia Shawkat says was “shaken up” by the “gross and stupid” rumors surrounding her relationship with Brad Pitt — but he had no idea. “I was like, ‘You know everyone thinks we’re dating? And there’s this whole thing, and I’m being followed.’ And he was like, ‘I’m sorry. It happens. If you hang out with me, it happens.’ He had no awareness of it at all.”

Olivia Munn posted a pic of John Mulaney with their new son.

-The trailer for Ava DuVernay’s new show, which premieres tonight on the CW, actually looks great.

-After three years without one, the Oscars is getting a host again. There’s no word on who yet.

-Why does Reese Witherspoon keep posting about crypto? At first I assumed it was just her social agency but there’s been enough posts (and wild reaction to them) that she’s got to be approving them, if not actively pushing them. Someone send Ben McKenzie her contact info.

Julia Fox and Kanye West are still going strong.

-Congrats to Josh Duhamel, who is engaged to former Miss World America Audra Mari.

Andrew Garfield says he once lost out on a role to Ben Barnes for being “not handsome enough” — even though those two actors are often mistaken for each other.

-Awful: Sinead O’Connor’s 17-year-old son, Shane, was found dead in Ireland after she reported him missing.

Alec Baldwin took to Instagram to call reports that he’s not cooperating with the Rust investigation “bullshit.”

-Drive My Car keeps topping awards lists and I feel bad that I couldn’t make it past the two-hour mark on that film.

-Here’s the first trailer for the Bob’s Burgers Movie, something I totally forgot was happening but am glad it is (I’d be even more glad if it was streaming instead of just in theatres).

-The trailer for The Worst Person in the World doesn’t do much for me, but audiences have LOVED this movie at festivals.

-Here’s the trailer for Uma Thurman‘s new Apple+ series, Suspicion.

-Promoting tick, tick…BOOM!, Vanessa Hudgens appears in Glamour UK’s digital issue and talks about learning of her dad’s death shortly before doing Grease Live. “There was never a moment where I thought that I wouldn’t do it because my dad would want me to do it. He gave so much time and energy into me achieving my dreams and for me to have a career where I can do what I love. So I felt like I needed to do it, because that’s what he would’ve wanted [me] to do.”

Jack Harlow covers Variety’s Hitmaker issue and talks about trying to keep the music from getting lost in all the trappings of fame. “Once you become actually famous, it’s only half about the music. They’re just showing up to see you in the flesh, put you on their Snap, throw some panties at you, whether they know a single lyric or not.”

Alec Baldwin‘s interview airs tonight, and he’s going on record to say that his finger was never on the trigger. A lawyer for the assistant director who allegedly handed him the gun is backing him up.

Seth Rogen told a hilarious story about how and he and his wife got “stoned as hell” before going to Adele’s concert special, not realizing it would be televised. “I got an invitation – “Do you want to go to a small Adele concert?” is what I remember absorbing…And then me and my wife are like ‘Ok, maybe we can just slink into the background. We’re not equipped mentally to deal with doing this right now’…We’re in front row centre. I don’t know Adele. And if Adele, you’re watching this: Why did you do that? The whole time I’m watching this like, ‘There’s so many more famous people than me here who should be sitting where I’m sitting…Like, I was in front of Drake!'”

-Love this profile of Scott Speedman, in which he talks about suddenly being on two hit shows (Grey’s and You) and his new baby. Bring on the Speedmanaissance!

-As expected, Rihanna is not pregnant and not happy with the persistent rumours. “Y’all breed me every year dammit lol”

-An appeal court has upheld Meghan Markle’s victory against the Daily Mail.

Prince William and Britney Spears apparently exchanged flirty emails back in the day. He also reportedly email flirted with Lauren Bush (George W’s daughter).

-This is awful: Beasts Of The Southern Wild star Jonshel Alexander has died at 22.

Demi Lovato has given up that “California sober” silliness.

Matthew McConaughey says he mixes his own cologne to create a signature scent. But does anyone believe this man smells good? I just can’t see it.

-It sounds like the TIFF audience was lukewarm at last night’s screening of Del Toro‘s Nightmare Alley, which worries me because I’ve seen them give standing O’s to absolute garbage.

-Did Danny DeVito basically write Batman fanfiction? I’m into it.
