Dakota Johnson and Andrew Garfield Talk Fame and Films

-The Social Network costars Dakota Johnson and Andrew Garfield reunited for a conversation for Vanity Fair. “It makes you focus on the things that matter and the relationships that matter,” Garfield says about fame. “Sometimes… if someone says, ‘Hey, are you the guy from the thing?’ I’m like, ‘No, I look like him,’ and then we can have an actual conversation.”

-Meanwhile, Andrew Garfield says he’s open to reprising his role as Spider-Man, which should surprise no one at this point.

-“I feel like nobody knew what the f**k to do with me,” says Jenny Slate in Marie Claire of the parts she was getting (or not getting) offered.

Bella Hadid is giving us permission to cry. Way ahead of ya, girl.

Kristen Stewart has never been more relatable than when she talks about being starstruck by Neve Campbell at a restaurant.

-The writers for And Just Like That know that everyone hates what the revival has done to Steve’s character, but are sticking to their guns. (Not that they can change anything now, but I’m guessing the backlash about the Che Diaz character took them by surprise, too. But them not anticipating that Che would be such a loathed character is pretty indicative of how clueless this show is.)

-Following backlash, West Side Story star Rachel Zegler apologized for reenacting Britney Spears’ recent tweets to her sister Jamie Lynn.

Willem Dafoe and Katy Perry have been announced to appear on next weekend’s SNL, which got this story trending again.

-The George Clooney and Julia Roberts rom-com Ticket to Paradise is temporarily suspending production due to rising COVID cases in the Queensland, Australia.

Paul Walter Hauser (the character actor from Richard Jewell, I Tonya, Cobra Kai) went a little crazy last night on Twitter over …*checks notes*…the NYT’s film critics daring to make an Oscar wish list.

-Yellowjackets is working towards a season two premiere later this year, which is wild. Godspeed, writers room!

-I’m glad Leighton Meester is coming back to TV, but I wish it was on a better reviewed show than How I Met Your Father.

-Welp. I’m guess I’m going to stop linking to the A.V. Club so much, which is a shame because it’s one of my fave sites for pop culture criticism. It’s awful to watch yet another beloved publication consumed by a private equity consolidation and callously dismantled.

-In a truly odd casting choice, Daniel Radcliffe will play Weird Al Yankovic in Roku’s upcoming biopic about the musician and comedian.

-Encanto’s “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” has surpassed Frozen’s hit “Let It Go” as the highest-charting song from a Disney animated movie in 26 years. I watched the movie with my niece over the holidays and that song is *still* stuck in my head.

-Gotta say, I love Twitter’s new billboard campaign, which features celebs who once tweeted about their now-fulfilled dreams.

-Adam Scott finds a creepy way to achieve work/life balance in the trailer for the Apple TV drama Severance.

Oscar Isaac is afraid to fall asleep in the trailer for Disney+’s new Marvel series Moon Knight, costarring Ethan Hawke. This video of those two reacting to the trailer is better than the trailer itself. I gotta assume that enthusiastic hug at the end has already been GIF’d.

Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint Reunite

HBO Max

-Perfect for a lazy hangover day, HBO Max’s Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts will drop New Year’s Day. Here’s our first look at Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint.

-HBO Max didn’t send out the first four episodes of the Sex and the City reboot screeners to critics until very late (and didn’t seem to provide clips to talk shows) which is probably not a good sign. The first couple of episodes have now dropped and the reviews aren’t great, with lots of talk about the show’s “disarming new seriousness.”

Disney has pulled the Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas-starring erotic psychological thriller Deep Water, which was supposed to be released mid-Jan, from its schedule. There’s no word if it’ll be rescheduled.

-Wow, am I confused by Jessica Chastain‘s repeated attempts to “defend” Jeremy Strong from that NY Mag profile. The writer spent months with him (unheard of in this day and age) and the result was a balanced, nuanced profile. Yes, he is clearly a very intense guy but this is an actor who also once said that he tore up one of his only remaining photos of his mother to get into the right mindset for his role in The Judge, so I don’t think he was mischaracterized.

-Meanwhile, this is the best piece I’ve read about all the reactions to that Jeremy Strong profile.

Travis Scott spoke about the Astroworld tragedy for the first time in interview with Charlamagne Tha God. “I just control what I can on the stage, and then you have the professionals to control what they can in the crowd. It’s just hard because as an artist you want to have the best shows and you want to have the best experiences so you link with professionals to handle that side of it.”

Olivia Rodrigo has been named Time Magazine’s Entertainer of the Year.

-At his girlfriend’s urging, Jonah Hill used his time on Jimmy Fallon‘s show to talk about climate change.

-HBO Max’s Station Eleven adaptation is getting good reviews (with comparisons to The Leftovers) but man, I just can’t imagine diving into a story about life after a pandemic wipes out most of humanity.

-The first trailer for Guy Ritchie‘s Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre features Jason Statham and Aubrey Plaza’s team trying to pull a job with an a movie star they’re blackmailing, played by Josh Hartnett.

Cardi B Is Woman of the Year

Cardi-B billboard woman of the year

Cardi B is Billboard’s Woman of the Year — and what a year it was. In the interview she says, “I’m not gonna front — this has been a bad year due to work. You can’t do shows and you gotta wait on deals. But I’m really happy because I have spent so much time with my family. I feel like I haven’t laughed like I have in 2020. My daughter is so funny, and I’m with her every single day. That’s what brings me happiness.”

-Wow wow wow – the news that Warner Bros will stream ALL their 2021 movies on HBO Max on the same day as their theatrical debut is a huge, seismic shift for the movie industry. There’s lots of debate about whether this marks the death toll for movie theatres or if this was just because HBO Max needed Warner Bros’ entire slate to save it (I can’t wait to read tomorrow’s think pieces!) but either way, even after we get a vaccine and life returns to normal, it’s going to be hard to put the toothpaste back in the tube.

-Meanwhile, Canada will still get all those movies as theatrical releases. They’ll eventually come to Crave someday, maybe.

-Fans are convinced Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn are engaged because in her re-recorded version of “Love Story”, the lyrics have changed from “Baby, just say, ‘Yes’” to “Baby, just said, ‘Yes.’”

-God, how much to you wanna bet that George Clooney regrets talking about the Flowbee? He gave a live demonstration on Kimmel.

Chet Hanks tried to defend his controversial use of Jamaican patois in a Clubhouse chat.

-Ok, I’ll give it to the Kardashians. This Facetime prank is pretty great.

Daniel Radcliffe appeared on Hot Ones and in between wing tasting, he talked about why he won’t join social media. “When I was younger, not anymore thanks god, I would like to look up comments about myself on the internet and read s–t like that. That is an insane and bad thing to do. And to me, like Twitter and everything just feels like an extension of that. Unless I want to go just read all nice things about myself, which also feels like another unhealthy thing to do.”

In a new video to promote her skincare line, Jennifer Lopez goes completely makeup free and looks amazing.

Glenn Close doesn’t think Gwyneth Paltrow should have won her Oscar for Shakespeare in Love, which might mean a lot more if Close didn’t say it while promoting the critically lambasted Hillbilly Elegy.

-Superstore will end its run this spring with 15 episodes, rather than a full 22. The final season begins January 14.

Mindy Kaling responded to a comment that her two kids have “very Caucasian” first names, revealing her 2-year-old daughter Katherine’s middle name, Swati, as well as her 3-month-old son Spencer’s, Avu.

-I was worried when I saw that Nora Roberts was trending but it’s just because she clapped back at some ninny who tried to explain to her how publishing works. I want “Stop. You literally don’t know what you’re talking about” on a tshirt.

-The only person in the audience at the Chanel Métiers fashion show was Kristen Stewart.

Aubrey Plaza became a paparazzi target during quarantine because she lives near Brad Pitt.

-I bet the unmasked fan who approached Gloria Estefan and gave her covid now feels like shit.

-Here’s the trailer for Wendy Williams’ Lifetime biopic.

Ralph Fiennes makes a rare discover in the trailer for Netflix period drama The Dig.
