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.

-The filmmaker behind the Anthony Bourdain documentary Roadrunner sounds like he made some odd choices. There’s a surprise AI recreation of Bourdain’s  voice. He also decided not to pursue an interview with his girlfriend at the time of his death, Asia Argento.

Michael Imperioli and Steve Schirripa claim that HBO once gave their Sopranos costar James Gandolfini $3 million to turn down an offer to replace Steve Carell on The Office — even though the Sopranos had ended.

-I was already excited for Loki, but this interview with the showrunner sealed it. He not only references The Leftovers and Mad Men as inspiration, but he’s not into this “it’s a 6-hour movie” crap that people who come to TV from films often pedal. “It was important that every episode stood alone. The Leftovers or Watchmen, which I admired so much—every one of those episodes felt like a distinct short story. That’s the sign of a great episode of TV.”

-Meanwhile, this is some pretty great social media marketing for Loki. A handle for a character called Miss Minutes, mascot of the Marvel’s Time Variance Authority, tweeted a coded message which Twitter worked out to mean “once I escape this hell prison they call the TVA I swear I’m gonna burn everything to the ground.”

Sandra Oh Stuns in Elle Canada

-I have fallen behind on Killing Eve because I just can’t seem to bring myself to watch much drama these days, but I’m going to revisit it eventually because Sandra Oh is perfection — even in KE seasons that aren’t. She looks stunning in her Elle Canada spread (though I wish they’d used one of the inner photos for the cover instead of the one they picked, mostly because Gugu Mbatha-Raw just wore the same top on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar.)

Mary-Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy (the pair responsible for one of the most iconic photos on the internet) have split after 5 years of marriage — and the pandemic is make it extra messy. Olsen filed an emergency order, claiming in court documents she attempted to file for divorce on April 17, but was unable to do so because of the ongoing pandemic. She alleges he terminated the lease on their NYC apartment without her knowledge and the only way to prevent him from getting rid of her belongings is to file for divorce.

Demi Moore invited ex Bruce Willis and wife Emma Heming Willis and their two daughters to join her new family portrait session. I wonder if this was to squash the talk that surfaced after Willis recently self-isolated with her instead of his wife and young kids?

Judi Dench is back to being hilarious on her grandson’s TikTok.

Reese Witherspoon just signed on to star in not one, but two Netflix romcoms and I’m here for it.
