reese-witherspoon-glamour

–Reese Witherspoon penned an essay about female ambition for Glamour, in which she talks about her plans to create more roles for women in front of and behind the camera, and how Mindy Kaling helped her see her white privilege.

-So who had Sept 5th in their betting pool on when Katie Holmes‘ divorce contract would lapse and she could go public with Jamie Foxx?

-I am not digging Jennifer Lawrence‘s sheer dress at the London premiere of mother! And she’d been doing so well.

–Alexander Skarsgard spent the It red carpet creeping on his brother and it was great.

-Meanwhile, It is getting really good reviews which surprises me.

-Sharon Osbourne opened up about Ozzy’s cheating, revealing he strayed with 6 women.  “Some Russian teenager, then a masseuse in England, our masseuse [in the U.S.], and then our cook. He had women in different countries. Basically, if you’re a woman giving Ozzy either a back rub or a trolley of food, God help you.”

–Taylor Swift‘s bridesmaid speeches involve raunchy stories, apparently.

-Jane The Virgin’s Gina Rodriguez is taking over the world and I love it. She has sold two projects to CBS, as well as a remake of LA Story.

-Game of Thrones’ Gwendoline Christie says the guy who plays Tormund on the show does his best to creep her out on set.

-Holy moly,  Mr Robot’s Rami Malek is unrecognizable as Freddie Mercury.

-I love that Thor Ragnarok director Taika Waititi is urging Hollywood describe women as something other than ‘badass‘.  It might be my least favourite descriptor, right after “strong female character.”

-Whoa: Colin Trevorrow is out as the director of Star Wars: Episode IX.

-I had no idea You’re the Worst returns tonight! And Top of the Lake returns on Sunday. YAY!

-At Sundance, pople went crazy for Mudbound, starring Jason Clarke, Carey Mulligan, Rob Morgan, and Garrett Hedlund. Here’s the trailer.

-Speaking of trailers for movies that got raves at Sundance, I will totally watch Matt Bomer play a rugged woodsman.

-The trailer for Bad Moms Christmas made me laugh a lot, and the casting of all the leads’ moms is perfect. Good job, Baranski!

Game of Thrones Is Ending Sooner Than You Think

Sophie-Turner-InStyle-UK-July-2016

-I hate the styling of the inside photos of Sophie Turner’s InStyle UK photo shoot (why does it look like it was lit with a Bic lighter?), but at least they picked an OK cover photo.

-Speaking of Game of Thrones, the creators say there is only 15 episodes left — at most. Hmm, I wonder if HBO knows that?

-Meanwhile, Game of Thrones producers don’t want to hear your bitching about how fast Varys travels, mm-kay?

–Tom + Lorenzo’s take on Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston‘s clumsy PR moves is predictably perfect.

–Bradley Cooper has joined the long and cherished tradition of famous white dudes dancing awkwardly at musical festivals. He gets bonus points for the backwards ball cap.

-More proof that the Tarzan movie is doomed: they wouldn’t let Alexander Skarsgard wear a loin cloth.

-Despite starring in a blockbuster, Leslie Jones says no one wants to dress her for the Ghostbusters premiere. This is bullshit!

-My friend and I were talking about how we should arrange a girls’ night out on Ghostbusters opening night, just like we all did  for the first Sex and the City movie. Buzzfeed has 11 other suggestions.

–Jesse Williams expanded on his BET Awards speech, saying he wants people to know “they are not alone.”

-Meanwhile, this is a really good take on what was wrong with Justin Timberlake’s tweets about Jesse Williams.

–Leah Remini is reportedly filming footage for a show about how Scientology tears families apart and I want it in my eyeballs now!

–Bobby Cannavale is pretty “down” about Vinyl’s cancellation and needs a hug.
–Tyrese Gibson will return for Transformers 5 — because he begged for it on social media.

-The Daily Show’s abortion tweet was bad. Their apology was worse.

–Samantha Bee‘s segment on Brexit is fabulous. She talks about how the US needs to learn from the UK and dump Trump in a landslide, and then recruits David Tennant to read Scottish Trump insults.

–Colin Firth and Patrick Dempsey face off over fatherhood in Bridget Jones’s Baby trailer. God, I’ve missed her voice!

Tom Hiddleston Strips Down To His Underwear For W

 

tom-hiddleston-underwear-w-magazine

-Clearly, it’s a total coincidence that Tom Hiddleston has a underwear spread in W magazine the week after he because a household name. The universe is just weird that way, guys.

-The news about Anton Yelchin’s tragic death just got even more tragic: his car was reportedly part of a voluntary recall due to rollaway risk.

-Meanwhile, Anton‘s costars continue to express their disbelief and grief, including Susan Sarandon and Felicity Jones (who starred with him in Like Crazy, a movie I adore).

–Tatiana Maslany makes the case for moving to Canada if Trump wins. “We’ve got double-double coffee. It’s a straight-up laxative!”

-Finally, here’s the trailer for HBO’s Westworld. Even though it’s been twice-delayed, it actually looks pretty damn good.

–The Rock hadn’t eaten candy since 1989 — until Jimmy Fallon tempted him. And then things got a little cray.

–Miley‘s trolling us again, y’all.

-This interview with Fresh Off The Boat’s Constance Wu kind of made me fall in love with her a little bit.

-I stopped watching How To Get Away With Murder ages ago, but the bloopers are still fun.

-Last night’s Game of Thrones was soo good –but also kind of not? Visually, that might have been the coolest thing I’ve ever seen on TV (and this interview with the director on the technical aspects of the battle shoot is impressive), but it all ended up feeling kind of empty. I’m not sure I agree with this critique that it didn’t have enough stakes — mostly because I’m sick of TV shows assuming death automatically makes for the best drama — but it is interesting that almost every critic I follow didn’t exactly give last night’s episode a glowing review.

-Everyone who wasn’t freaking out about GoT last night on Twitter was freaking out about the Penny Dreadful season finale — and that was even before they found out it was actually the series finale.

-Congrats to Eddie Redmayne and his wife, who just welcomed their first child.

–Beyoncé and Jay Z just bought a $93 million mansion, so they’re not allowed to appear in Us Weekly’s “celebs are just like us!” feature for at least 3 months.

–Kelly Clarkson’s Facebook Lives might be the most adorable Facebook Lives ever.

-Speaking of adorable, here’s a clip of Baby Dory from Finding Dory.

-I wasn’t ready for how brutal Orange Is The New Black this season is. If you haven’t been spoiled yet, get off Twitter. Get off Twitter now!

-In happier OITNB news, Samira Wiley will play Gretchen’s therapist on You’re The Worst. This is the best!

-A whole lotta Broadway stars released an A-list ‘What the World Needs Now Is Love’ cover to benefit the victims of Orlando and their families.

-Meanwhile, the Walking Dead, The Flash and Arrow stars are going to appear at a special fan convention in Orlando, with all proceeds going to the victims’ families.

-Speaking of The Flash, Grant Gustin just confirmed they’re doing the Flashpoint storyline (which, as my coworker explained to me in excruciating detail, involves an alternate timeline in which Bruce Wayne was killed instead of his parents, his dad became Batman and his mom became The Joker). Fine, but just keep that wibbly wobbly time crap away from Arrow.

–Alexander Skarsgard and Theo James swear, get shirtless, and eat popsicles sexily in the War On Everyone trailer. I don’t know if this is going to jump start Alex’s career after Tarzan inevitably flops.

–Looking was a little gem of a TV show that was canceled too soon. I never really believed HBO when they said they would wrap up the story with a movie but they just released the first trailer! Don’t mind me; my eyeballs are drowning.
