Jon Hamm Reveals Why He’ll Never Join Social Media

instyle-july-jon-hamm

-I’m a big fan of Jon Hamm (have you ever heard him on comedy podcasts? He’s a goddamn delight), but this interview with InStyle is kinda … ugh. He calls Snapchat filters “the visual equivalent of masturbating”? Actually sir, the the visual equivalent of masturbating is seeing photos of you in tight pants.

-Also, was Jon Hamm was flirting with Kate Beckinsale at the Baby Driver premiere? Probably not, but I can dream.

–Rebel Wilson’s defamation case continues with accusations of pre interview lies, and a fixation on Walt Disney.

-This is refreshingly frank: Milla Jovovich almost quit Resident Evil when Michelle Rodriguez was cast. “[They] rewrote the script for her. It pretty much made my character ‘the girl,’ and Rain was ‘the guy.’ She got all of my big action scenes, and she became like Alice. And then Alice became this tag-along.”

-Was this week’s TV cancellations the first indication of cracks in Netflix’s facade?

-HBO may push Game of Thrones’ final season to 2019.

-Here’s what a defiant Kathy Griffin said at her Trump news conference. (Spoiler: She’s not backing down.)

–Brandy is home resting after being hospitalized for losing consciousness on an airplane. I really hope the disturbing blind items that have been floating around aren’t the reason for this.

-This Rihanna-Kevin Durant feud is the only kind of basketball drama I can get behind. I like that she’s basically morphing into Jack Nicholson before our eyes…

-A lot of movie trailers use Imagine Dragons songs. Like, a lot.

-Wonder Woman scored $11M on Thursday night, making it the best preview night for a movie by a female director. I really hope it cracks $100M this weekend. I also hope people understand what they’re talking about when they compare it to other superhero films. It cost $120M to make unlike, save BtvS, which cost $250M.

–Tom Cruise revealed the Top Gun sequel title: Maverick .

–Scott Wolf takes an ’emotional’ look back at Party Of Five’s intervention episode. Oh god, I remember watching this with my mom and we just bawled. When Claudia tells him that she won’t see him anymore? “I love you the best.” Gah!

-This trailer for Amazon’s The Last Tycoon, Matt Bomer’s new period drama.

-Here’s the trailer for Strange Weather starring Holly Hunter and Carrie Coon.

Gal Gadot Says Beyoncé Inspired Her Wonder Woman

gal-gadot-wonder-woman

–Gal Gadot‘s hair looks oddly cropped on the cover of W, no? In the interview, she talks about listening to Beyoncé before her Wonder Woman audition, and finding out she was pregnant while shooting Justice League.

-I haven’t watched Survivor in years but it’s back in the news because of last night’s episode, which featured a contestant brutally outing a few team member as transgendered during the tribal council.  The outed contestant wrote a moving essay about the experience, while the outee profusely apologized and gave an interview saying “If he wants to shoot me, I’ll hand him the gun. I deserve this.” Jeff Probst was pissed, but no one seems to be putting any blame on CBS for deciding to air it.

–Jenna Elfman took part in a Reddit AMA to promote her new show Imaginary Mary but all anyone wanted to ask her about was Scientology.

-The best thing about both The Leftovers and Fargo returning this month is that we’re swimming in fantastic Carrie Coon profiles.

-Meanwhile, here’s a good refresher on where the last season of The Leftovers left us.

-Lost and Leftovers creator Damon Lindelof explains why he thinks bingeing TV shows is bad and why viewers deserve a break between episodes. I don’t disagree.

-Are Jamie Foxx and Katie Holmes getting ready to going public? Us Weekly’s magic 8-ball points to “yes.”

-In the latest issue of THR, Stephen Colbert dishes on his angst and anger over why the election felt “like somebody dying.”

–Chris Evans proves himself to be even more of a unicorn than we assumed by revealing that he’s never had a bad breakup.

-The Cannes lineup has been announced, and Nicole Kidman will star in not one, but four films there.

-Adding high-profile TV projects for the first time, Cannes will also screen two episodes of David Lynch‘s Twin Peaks and Jane Campion‘s Top of the Lake 2 as special events.

-The Star Wars Celebration event featured a moving tribute to Carrie Fisher and I seem to have something in my eye…

-Not surprising but still happy-making: the reviews for The Handmaid’s Tale are glowing.

-Did you like Big Little Lies? Then you’ll be happy to hear that there are four(!) more Liane Moriarty adaptations in the works.

-Orphan Black fights for the future in this trailer for the final season.

-I don’t disagree with this article about how Lena Dunham is a great actress on Girls. This scene from a few weeks ago took my breath way.

–Britt Robertson builds a fashion empire in the trailer for the Netflix series Girlboss.

–Elle Fanning plays a transitioning teen in the trailer for the controversial 3 Generations.

Scarlett Johansson Is “Disappointed” by Ivanka Trump

–Scarlett Johansson is calling out Ivanka Trump: “You can’t have it both ways. If you take a job as a public advocate, then you must advocate publicly.”

-Meanwhile, she stepped out with her estranged hubby last night.

-According to Us Weekly, Brad Pitt “smouldered” on the Lost City of Z premiere red carpet. I don’t think that word means what they think it does.

–Stephen Colbert had a very good opening monologue last night.

-The MTV Movie Awards have opened up the categories to TV, and it’s making the nominations really odd. Moonlight is competing against This Is Us for Best Tearjerker, while Best Hero pits Hidden Figures’ Taraji P. Henson against the stars of Arrow and The Flash. I do like that the gender divisions have been eliminated. When you’re making up awards, it’s a cool way to make them mean something.

-One of the Survivor tribes actually killed and ate a goat? Simmer down, guys. You’re on TV.

–Shia LaBeouf had a meltdown at a bowling alley. Who hasn’t, really?

-This is a great profile on Carrie Coon, Leftovers’ breakout star and Fargo’s new leading lady.

–Taran Killam doesn’t have many nice memories from Donald Trump’s SNL hosting stint last year. “What you see is what you get with him, really. I mean, there was no big reveal. He struggled to read at the table read, which did not give many of us great confidence. Didn’t get the jokes, really. He’s just a man who seems to be powered by bluster.”

-Looks like we might be getting a writers strike on May 2 if a deal not reached. If it happens, all writing for TV, films and streaming series will cease. Just pay the writers, Hollywood.

–Dwayne Johnson photobombed fans at Universal Studios and made a grown ass man cry.

-Will and Grace hasn’t even returned yet, and NBC has already ordered more of it.

–Alec Baldwin says his editors at Harper Collins missed typos in his memoir, so he’ll be releasing corrections and supplemental material. Bully for us.

-What it’s like to manage a celebrity’s money? Terrifying, apparently. “We try to rein them in. We go, ‘Do you really need a custom-made suit of armor for $50,000 that you’ll never wear?’ or ‘Do you really need to take care of the apartments and all the expenses of six different women in six different cities?'”

–Lena Dunham and the Girls cast starred in a Golden Girls spoof on Jimmy Kimmel Live and I don’t hate it.

-Yay, the trailer for the new season of Catastrophe is here. God, I heart this show.
