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!

-Bored? The full one hour+ video of the THR Drama Actress Roundtable is now online, featuring Jennifer Lopez, Kerry Washington, Sarah Paulson, Julianna Margulies, Regina King, Constance Zimmer and Kirsten Dunst.

-Speaking of TV dramatic actresses, Vulture makes a really good case for why The Leftovers’ Carrie Coon deserves Emmy love.

–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!

Jennifer Lawrence Talks Body Image and Pay Gap in Harper’s Bazaar

jennifer-lawrence-harpers-bazaar

-I really like Jennifer Lawrence‘s new interview with Harper’s Bazaar, in which she admits she works hard for her “average” body. “Everybody says, ‘We love that there is somebody with a normal body!’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t feel like I have a normal body.’ I do Pilates every day. I eat, but I work out a lot more than a normal person.” She also smartly responds to the controversy over her pay gap comments, saying, “I try not to be too sensitive to the ‘poor rich girl’ jokes. I was saying my reality is absolutely fabulous, but it is not the reality of a lot of women in America.”

-Congrats to Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman for welcoming a baby boy — and for doing it a month ago without anyone finding out. And for giving him a normal name. Really, they’re just winning at life right now.

–Melissa McCarthy’s deal to appear on Gilmore Girls just happened to go through the day before her critically panned movie opened. What are the odds?

–Kate Hudson talks about deliberately hiding from her children in her new InStyle cover story. Sounds like my kind of parenting.

–Jennifer Aniston says she started eating pasta again after meeting Justin Theroux. The rest of her diet sounds super sad, though.

-I’m actually surprised it took this long for Cameron Diaz to be featured in GOOP. She’s talking about the science of humans cells so at least it’s unintentionally hilarious.

-They’re once again trying to do a US remake of Misfits. Why, Hollywood? Whyyyyy???

-I’m really glad Edge of Tomorrow is getting a sequel. That is maybe the most underrated Tom Cruise movie in decades.

-This is the most Nic Cage thing that Nic Cage has ever done.

-If you just got let go from your steady TV gig and are looking for a new job, maybe don’t tweet support for an article that says the show will suck without you. Network execs see that stuff, fool.

-An oral history of Bridget Jones’s Diary from Renée Zellweger, Colin Firth and more? Well, if you insist.

–Paul Walker‘s 16-year-old daughter Meadow has received a $10 million settlement from the driver in the fatal crash.

-I really liked this week’s AV Club Q&A about body shaming in TV and movies.

-Brace yourselves for some shocking news: Leonardo DiCaprio is dating another model.

-How did I not know that there’s a movie version coming of The Office UK?

 

The Serial Podcast Ends Next Week

Sarah Koenig and Stephen Colbert discussed "Serial" on "The Colbert Report."
Sarah Koenig and Stephen Colbert discussed “Serial” on “The Colbert Report” on Dec 10. (Comedy Central)

–Stephen Colbert called Serial host Sarah Koenig his “favourite guest of all time.” It was a great segment (“Did you always want to do true crime reporting that people listen to on a treadmill?”) Koenig also confirmed that the Dec. 18 episode will be its last. *sob*

-More evidence that Ariana Grande is a mini Mariah Carey. Here’s a photo of her being carried around like a little baby. (She says she doesn’t like being carried around, if that helps.)

–Liam Hemsworth and Kate Winslet might be hooking up. I don’t even want to read any more about this story because it’s undoubtedly not true and I want to keep this beautiful dream alive!

-Congrats to Zoe Saldana, who’s reportedly given birth to twins.

–Steve Carell sang ‘Sexual Healing’ with Jimmy Fallon‘s barbershop quartet last night. It was creepy.

–Taylor Swift wants you to know she is happily single so stop worrying about her, ok?

-Yesterday it was Scarlett Johansson, and today it’s Mila Kunis who’s praising breastfeeding for helping her lose baby weight.

-And the hits just keep coming. Supermodel Beverly Johnson claims Bill Cosby once drugged her and yanked her down the stairs. Meanwhile, Vulture has compiled a timeline of all the allegations. 

-Well, this is weird. Zooey Deschanel is being sued by a horse owner because she allegedly injured a rented stallion named so badly that he will never be the same again.

-One of the best surprises from this morning’s Golden Globe nominations was all the love for Selma. I saw it last night and adored it.

-The Sony hack is messing with The Interview’s promo tour.

–Colin Firth plays a dirty James Bond in the new red band trailer for Kingsman: The Secret Service.
