Vanity Fair’s Hollywood Issue Is All Women, All the Time

Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue 2016

-After last year’s whiteness, Vanity Fair redeemed itself with this year’s all-female Hollywood Issue cover. I like that they not only included minority women, but also older women. But someone please explain Diane Keaton? What has she done cover-worthy this year?

-I love that Leslie Mann and Dakota Johnson hit on a reporter mid-interview. That’s very on brand for their movie.

-This is how Sophie Turner reacted to seeing Ryan Gosling. Sophie Turner is all of us.

-Gird your ovaries before looking at this pic of Idris Elba chllin’ with Jacob Tremblay.

-This interview with Lauren Graham about the first Gilmore Girls revival table read made me a little misty when she talked about missing Edward Herrmann. She also revealed that the infamous final four words that were always intended to end the series (but didn’t because the writer/creator was pushed out before the last season) will be in the final moments of the reboot.

Evan Rachel Wood and Chris Evans’s ultra steamy Gucci ad is here.
Louis CK released a surprise new TV series online this weekend called Horace and Pete. He’s the Beyonce of TV comedy!

-Did y’all watch Grease Live last night? It was a bit bumpy but compared to all other live musicals so far, it was a technical triumph. The fact like they changed camera angles like it was a movie instead of a static wide shot made it look amazing. And bless Vanessa Hudgens. She lost her dad to cancer hours earlier, and not only was she able to get through it, she was the best damn thing about the whole production.

-This is a really interesting article about how New Girl is thriving while its lead is on maternity leave. After last week’s episode, those blind items implying that Zooey Deschanel is nervous make sense now…

Channing Tatum sings and tap-dances in this new Hail Caesar clip.

-Speaking of new TV debuting soon, critics are RAVING over FX’s The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, which I wasn’t even going to watch until everyone started gushing over it. Damn you, TV!

-This is a long but fascinating read: the 100 jokes that shaped modern comedy.

-ICYMI, Nicole and I picked our best and worst dresses at this weekend’s SAG Awards.

Derek Zoolander gives his best Blue Steel the cover of February Vogue. Is this real life?

-Meanwhile, the new trailer for Zoolander 2 is basically a perfume commercial.

-Hold up, Anne Hathaway. I’m all for supporting other women and sisterhood, but just because Jennifer Lawrence is a woman, doesn’t give her free reign to be a dick. Come on, now.

-“I want to see the license that says that they’re a journalist” – Sean Penn, who clearly doesn’t know how journalism works.

John Krasinski explained why you don’t ever want to sit at Leonardo DiCaprio’s table during an award show.

Emma Watson tweeted a feminist quote from Alan Rickman in tribute and the internet hated her for it because people suck.

-The SNL writers of the alien abduction sketch knew that Ryan Gosling was going to lose his shit during it, but they didn’t mind. “We were charmed. When Gosling smiles, the world smiles with him.” Truer words…

Amal Clooney is still super smart, in case you were wondering.

Wolf Parade is back and I’m so happy!

Céline Dion‘s terrible week just got worse. Her brother Daniel is very ill and is not expected to survive much longer.

Gillian Anderson and James Corden prove that the X Files theme can make anything scary.

-Trying to stem an early wave of bad reviews, Fox has now made three episodes of The X Files reboot available to critics and the trajectory seems to be: terrible, slightly better, awesome. The third one is written by Darin Morgan and the general consensus is that it’s light-hearted and wonderful. Whew!

-Less promising are the reviews for DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.

-Crazy Ex Girlfriend’s Rachel Bloom used to intern for Seth Meyers, and busted him for it when appearing on his show this week.

-These pictures of Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman doing puzzles together restore my faith in humanity.

Kate Middleton is now an online newspaper editor. It took me a journalism degree and years of work experience to get that position, but ok.

Nick Carter claims he’s ‘just a guy trying to enjoy some vacation time’ following his arrest. Um, doesn’t a vacation imply having a job to take a break from?

-The first trailer from Judd Apatow‘s new show starring Gillian Jacobs is pretty adorable.

JJ Abrams just dropped an excellent trailer for his Cloverfield sequel which comes out in two months — despite the fact that no one even knew this movie existed before this morning!
