-It looks like something good actually came out of the Fantastic Four movie: Kate Mara and Jamie Bell are dating.
–Anthony Mackie just dropped another jewel of wisdom: “Some people aren’t made for democracy. Some people need a dictator.” Dear god, where are his people?!
–Bobby Cannavale and Rose Byrne (aka – the celebrity couple I always forget are together but then get so happy all over again whenever I remember) are expecting.
–Kate Winslet has a no airbrushing clause in her L’Oreal contract, because she’s the goddamn best.
–Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller‘s Twitter Q&A to promote Burnt is pretty great. I’m really jealous about all the training they got from Michelin-starred chefs. Bradley probably should never be allowed to operate the camera again, though.
-So actually how old is Beyonce? Her dad is making us question our assumption that she’s 34 (which frankly was always a bit suspect. Her being the same age as Britney Spears never really sat right).
–Shonda Rhimes continues to turn ABC into her own personal network (which may not be a bad thing). She just sold a Romeo and Juliet sequel series to them (which may be a bad thing).
-One of the great things about fashion designers directing movies is they really know how to make actors look their best. Exhibit A: Jake Gyllanhaalin Tom Ford’s new movie.
–Gwyneth Paltrow published an article on GOOP yesterday about how bras cause cancer and everyone in the medical community is now noping her hard.
–Adele will bless us/torture us with her new album on November 20 — and the first single comes out tomorrow. That gives you just under 24 hours to fail painfully in and out of love so you’ll feel the full impact.
-Knowing Kate Hudson is staying mum, Ellen DeGeneresconfronted Nick Jonas about those romance rumors.
–Jeremy Renner tweeted following his pay gap controversy, and it’s complete nonsense. Seriously, I understand those words separately but together? Nah.
-Meanwhile, Anthony Mackie stepped in it today by saying he doesn’t think the Black Panther movie needs a black director. I mean, as a working actor I get why he’s not trying to piss off people who could hire him in the future, but maybe just avoid answering those questions? Because his answer is wrong. Basically, all Avengers actors should probably stop giving interviews. (Except for Mark Ruffalo of course. He’s woke.)
–Channing Tatum makes a terrifying Winnie the Pooh. Still hot, though.
-I need someone to explain everything about these photos of Chris Martin and his new GF dancing in the street. Are these candid? ‘Cause in one shot it looks like he’s even looking at the camera. Who IS he right now?!
-Does Fox have a leak on its hands? A new X Files promo appeared on YouTube this afternoon. And then another. And another. And another. They still have stock image watermarks and production notes on them, so this clearly wasn’t supposed to happen.
–Anthony Mackie says he was just joking when he said he endorsed Trump, so I guess he can go back to being our fake boyfriend again. Whew! That fake breakup was going to be messy AF.
-This is pretty great: Bradley Cooper says he’s going to team up with his female costars for negotiations before the film goes into production.
-The Royal We (my favourite beach read this summer) is being turned into a movie by Parenthood costars Lauren Graham and Mae Whitman. They haven’t even started yet and already this is the best adaptation in the history of cinema!
-Tabloids are reporting that Sean Penn and Madonna are hooking up again but I’m considering the source (and crossing my fingers and toes that it isn’t true).
-I usually find the video content that accompanies magazine interviews pretty eyeroll-inducing, but Anna Kendrick’s shower thoughtsare great. There are some real gems here, including “They should announce a sequel to Groundhog Day, and then just re-release the original” and “I wonder what my dog named me?”
-We now have photographic evidencethat the Absolutely Fabulous movie is finally happening.
–Gwen Stefani is shutting down those Blake Shelton romance rumors. (Can she also shut down those rumours about how she’s reluctant to jump into a relationship and have more kids? I don’t know why her being 46 doesn’t seem to be enough to do that…)
-For those people who felt a little icky about that recent Tina Fey clip from Billy on the Street, watch America Ferreratry to name white actorsin her new parody of it.
-Lainey dubbing Ben Affleck‘s new look “Karma Face” just slayed me. I’m dead.
-Hmmm…speaking of Lainey, here’s her new blind item.
-It’s weird that I don’t immediately love a CW show (I KNOW!!) but I’m not sold on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend yet. But I am going to give it another episode based solely on this song about getting ready to go out, if only because they snuck the words “ass blood” past the network censors, and because I’ve never seen a stomach like that on broadcast TV. She looks like an actual human woman!
