Daisy Ridley Covers British GQ

 

daisy-ridley-gq

-I don’t know why British GQ styled Daisy Ridley like a mechanic, but I’m kind of here for it? I also dig her comments about royalty: “I’m going to tell you something so shocking for Americans but not Brits; I don’t massively care about the royal family. I am not a royalist. Buckingham Palace is great but it’s an unused building, isn’t it? The other day, there was a story that the Queen uses six rooms in the palace. Six. How is that a good thing? It’s prime real estate.”

-I was really worried when I saw that Princess Anne was trending this morning, but it turns out it’s just because she’s a badass. She was part of the conversation with Trudeau in which he and other world leaders mocked Trump, and then was scolded by the Queen when she refused to meet with him. I think I love her.

–Tom Hanks, Shia LaBeouf, Robert De Niro, Adam Driver, Jamie Foxx and Adam Sandler take part in THR’s drama actors roundtable, and it’s a pretty decent discussion (though De Niro barely talks). I like Hanks’ view on comedy: “Can you be funny if you grew up with a built-in swimming pool in your backyard? I don’t think you can. If you grew up being able to swim any time you wanted to, you experienced none of the shortcomings of life that you turn into self-deprecation. You can’t do it.”

–Kesha is throwing her name into the mix of stars who have entered the cosmetics world with the launch of her makeup line, Kesha Rose Beauty.

–Camila Morrone has no problem with her 23-year age gap with boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio. “There’s so many relationships in Hollywood⁠—and in the history of the world⁠—where people have large age gaps. I just think anyone should be able to date who they want to date.”

–Jennifer Lopez is hosting SNL this weekend, and I wish they’d given her a better promo.

-Bad news: that Michael Jackson musical appears to be going forward, and it will be “a part-puppet show in which the late singer’s alleged history of child sex abuse is blamed on a glove-shaped alien forcing Jackson to feed on boys.” Good news: despite earlier reports, rep for Johnny Depp says that he and his company are not producing or involved in any way.

-This is terrible: Mena Massoud says he couldn’t get an audition after starring in Aladdin, which made $1B.

-Riverdale costars Camila Mendes and Charles Melton are no longer dating…for now.

-If I currently looked like Kate Beckinsale does at 46, I’d be unapologetic about posing in a bikini too.

–Daniel Craig is back as Bond in the No Time to Die trailer. I’m loving that Léa Seydoux is in this. I’ve only seen her in weird French movies and I love her.

Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant Go Public

–Keanu Reeves and his girlfriend made it red carpet official this weekend. She’s beautiful, accomplished and age appropriate, which makes it really hard to hate her. Challenge accepted!

–Solange Knowles and hubby Alan Ferguson have called it quits — and she was quick to shut down rumours it’s because she was having an affair with her manager.

–Kaitlynn Carter may no longer be in relationship with Miley Cyrus, but she’s still milking it. She penned an essay in Elle that discussed their romance: “It was that same familiar force of nature; I didn’t have to think about a thing or overanalyze. It just happened and it felt exactly right. Reflecting back on our three-year friendship, I realized I’d always been drawn to her in a way I wasn’t with other friends, but until that trip it had never crossed my mind to think of her in a romantic sense.”

-In her first interview in over a year, Demi Lovato opened up about trolls and insecurities, and promised new music “soon.”

–Matthew McConaughey celebrated turning 50 by joining Instagram. Not gonna lie, “I know I want to have a monologue; I’m not sure I want to have a dialogue” is the most honest celebrity comment I’ve heard in a while.

–Sandra Bullock back at Netflix with a new movie, this one about life after prison.

-This video of Amy Acker and Julie Benz being scared and running away from the bats is extra funny because they both became famous for starring on a show about vampires.

–This tweet might be my favourite thing in a very long time. So much tea squeezed into those 45 seconds…

-Bad Boys 3 and Coming To America 2 are shooting on adjacent lots, so Will Smith arranged an impromptu video shoot.

–Queen Latifah just landing a new CBS series.  Good for her!

–Harry Styles just announced a new album and tour and everyone got the squees.

-I binged the first three episodes of The Morning Show this weekend and although I can see why critics are hating on it, there were bits of it that I think really work (mainly, Jennifer Aniston‘s performance).

-On a recent photo shoot, Kim Kardashian listened to the new album from her mortal enemy Taylor Swift, and now everyone’s confused. Is it possible she’s matured and moved on?? Nah…

-Do NOT suggest to Daniel Craig that Phoebe Waller-Bridge was hired to punch up the Bond script as a diversity hire. He will not respond well.

-Here are all the holiday movies coming to Netflix. I will watch every damn one of ’em.

-The trailer for Showtime’s Work in Progress looks super cute!

 

Kim Kardashian Confirms She’s “Definitely Trying” for Another Baby

thr_kardashian_cover

-I have no interest in reading THR’s Kardashian cover story, but I did like this accompanying bit from a branding expert on how the family redefined the business of celebrity.

–Casey Affleck may have just confirmed what we all suspected: that Ben Affleck is not returning as Batman.

-Have you noticed that there are a lot less photos of stars at the airport lately? That’s because LAX installed a VIP terminal that’s paparazzi-free.

-Following her trial victory, Taylor Swift says she plans to donate money to help victims of sexual assault “defend themselves.”

-Game of Thrones stars Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner tackle Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber in next episode of Carpool Karaoke, and the preview is all kinds of adorable.

-Another episode of Game of Thrones Season 7 leaked early. The kicker? This time, the breach came from an HBO affiliate.

-Is Drake opening a new restaurant in Toronto? Has he learned nothing from Fring’s?

–Chris Hemsworth says he was “weirdly shaken” when he first met Chris Pratt because “he’s just so charismatic.” Celebs: they’re just like us!

–Anna Faris thanked her podcast listeners for their support, saying “Hey, dear listeners. I just want to thank you all so much for all the love I’ve been receiving, and I truly love you.” (I loved the story they told on the Jam Session podcast this week, in which one of the girls talks about interviewing Anna and then being invited back to her house to drink wine for four hours.)

-Why does The Mindy Project insist on doing this terrible storyline over and over?

-I don’t watch Suits, but I support any show that gives Gina Torres her own spinoff.

-Girls Trip’s Tiffany Haddish remains the best talk show guest.

-Last night on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Daniel Craig finally confirmed he will return for a fifth James Bond movie.  “I think this is it. I just want to go out on a high note.”

-Late night shows were on fire last night. Colbert’s blow-by-blow takedown of the president’s press conference was merciless — and his team wrote it in less than an hour. Jimmy Kimmel made an outraged plea for Trump supporters to finally abandon their president. Seth Meyers tore up Trump’s “clinically insane” presser.

-God, I love Mark Ruffalo. He and Olivia Wilde joined the huge protest outside of Trump Tower last night, where Mark shot some video.

–Lisa Rinna tweeted “All lives matter” and then claimed she didn’t really know what that meant. Sigh.

-After 16 years, Helen Hunt and Matthew Carnahan have decided to call it quits.

-According to Jason Bateman, Arrested Development season 5 production kicks off next week.

-That Tom Cruise on-set injury we saw in the leaked video earlier this week was serious; it shut down the Mission Impossible production.

–Chris Brown tried to explain his side of the story in his Rihanna beatdown. Keep it.

-Bachelor in Paradise debuted last night and was all like “we cool, guys?”

-This story about Belle and Sebastian accidentally leaving their drummer in pyjamas in a Walmart made me LOL. “Shit, we left Richard in North Dakota.”

-I really like this NYT piece about why, in a body-positive moment, Hollywood remains out of step. “Movies – studio movies in particular – show little improvement for lead actresses. There is only Melissa McCarthy.”

-I also like this Vogue piece with Oprah about how she’s on a roll (again).

-Here’s the first trailer for The Killing of a Sacred Deer starring Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman (featuring a creepy good use of anEllie Goulding song). This film was both booed and applauded at Cannes. It’s from Yorgos Lanthimos, who did The Lobster — a movie I didn’t really understand but still have a strange affection for.
