Sarah-Jessica-Parker-Vogue

-In anticipation of And Just Like That, Sarah Jessica Parker graces the new issue of Vogue. She talks about the reaction to photos from the SATC reboot (“There’s so much misogynist chatter in response to us that would never. Happen. About. A. Man. ‘Gray hair gray hair gray hair. Does she have gray hair?’ I’m sitting with Andy Cohen and he has a full head of gray hair, and he’s exquisite. Why is it okay for him?”) and talks about juggling career with family (“I don’t have any tips and tricks, except that I’m incredibly fortunate that I have childcare and a partner, because so many mothers who work two and three jobs do not”).

-Meanwhile, Kim Cattrall has joined the cast of Peacock’s Queer As Folk.

-DeuxMoi has been hinting at it for weeks, but now it seems like Victoria Pedretti really is dating her You co-star Dylan Arnold. Even though their characters’ age difference was a big plot point on the show, he’s actually a year older than her.

-Succession’s best couple is Tom and Greg, so I’m thrilled that EW did a whole feature on Nicholas Braun and Matthew Macfadyen. Those videos!

-In an interview with The Times, Kirsten Dunst spoke about filming The Power Of The Dog in New Zealand when the pandemic struck. “We would go to the grocery store and take off our clothes and wipe down afterwards. No one knew anything, it was terrifying, and at the time I smoked so I was like, ‘Oh my God, if I get this I am gonna die.’ ”

–Prince Harry said he had warned Jack Dorsey before January 6th that Twitter was being used to plan a coup. “I warned him that his platform was allowing a coup to be staged. That email was sent the day before and then that happened and I haven’t heard from him since.”

-Meanwhile, Meghan Markle says she supports paid leave. “I think this is one of those issues that is not red or blue. We can all agree that people need support certainly when they’ve just had a child. Paid leave, from my standpoint, is just a humanitarian issue.”

–Leonardo DiCaprio is in talks to play Jim Jones in a movie about the Peoples Temple. Ooh boy, this could go really wrong.

-Early reaction to House of Gucci is all over the place, though most critics seem impressed by Lady Gaga’s performance.

-I love that People included SNL’s Bowen Yang in their Sexiest Man Alive issue.

–Aaron Rodgers reportedly didn’t expect all the blowback but is standing by his anti-v*x comments. “I don’t only talk to ‘yes’ people or people who allow me to live in an echo chamber of my own thoughts and beliefs.” Which is exactly what that community is but sure.

–Carrie Underwood‘s husband Mike Fisher defended him, saying “I agree with him in that the science clearly shows the vaccinated spread covid at basically the same rate as the unvaccinated.” Which is not true.

–Jennifer Garner dressed her dog up like some of her most popular characters. Bless her.

–Jamie Dornan sang at the Belfast premiere party this week. People that pretty shouldn’t also be so talented. It’s not fair.

-In news that will surprise no one, season two of Squid Game is already in the works.

Machine Gun Kelly Wooed Megan Fox by Saying “I Am Weed”

Megan-Fox-and-Machine-Gun-Kelly-British-GQ

–Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox are on the new cover of British GQ Style, and it’s a LOT. The piece opens with them giving each other matching tattoos that say “the darkest fairytale,” delves into their first encounter (“I just remember this tall, blond, ghostly creature and I looked up and I was like, ‘You smell like weed.’ He looked down at me and he was like, ‘I am weed.’ Then, I swear to God, he disappeared like a ninja in a smoke bomb”), their first kiss (“She wouldn’t kiss me. We just put our lips right in front of each other and breathed each other’s breath and then she just left”), and touches on how it’s not all fun and games (“This is a very intense relationship. Our souls chose this to absolutely have to face our shadow selves; to face things about ourselves we didn’t want to have to know, that we tried to push away”).

–Timothée Chalamet is on the cover of Time and says “One of my heroes — I can’t say who or he’d kick my ass — he put his arm around me the first night we met and gave me some advice: No hard drugs and no superhero movies.” It takes balls to look down on superhero movies when you’re in rehearsals for a musical prequel to Willy Wonka…

-In his Vanity Fair cover story, Dwayne Johnson talked more about his feud with Vin Diesel. He said wished he hadn’t posted about it on social media (“I don’t share things like that. And I take care of that kind of bulls—t away from the public. They don’t need to know that”) but he doesn’t regret it (“It caused a firestorm. Yet interestingly enough [it was] as if every single crew member found their way to me and either quietly thanked me or sent me a note”).

–E. Alex Jung‘s profile on Kumail Nanjiani is very sweet and a little sad. “I know exactly what I weigh every day, and if I could change something, I would love to not have to think about that.”

-The original screenplay for Ben Affleck and Matt Damon‘s new film The Last Duel included a kiss between their characters, but Ridley Scott cut it. Boo!

-Meanwhile, people are LOVING Affleck’s performance.

-The rumours about Chris Evans and Selena Gomez seem to be made up, but that didn’t stop them from trending on Twitter this weekend.

-In a new BBC interview, George Clooney says he knew pre-politics Trump and described him as a “knucklehead” who “chased girls”.

-People have a lot of opinions about Tom Cruise’s face, but this just looks like the side effect of medication to me?

–Tyga was arrested on felony domestic violence charges after turning himself in to the authorities. He’s been booked for domestic violence after his ex-girlfriend accused him of physical assault, and his bail has been set for $50,000.

-Netflix has suspended a trans employee who tweeted about Dave Chappelle‘s special (they say it’s because the employee tried to join an executive meeting, not because of the tweets), but it’s not a good look.

-Meanwhile, this is an interesting piece on why people are upset over the special.

–Demi Lovato thinks the word “aliens” is derogatory to extraterrestrials and let’s maybe worry about the people on our own planet first, k?

-Something is coming to Netflix tomorrow from David Fincher. Could it be his new assassin movie The Killer, starring Michael Fassbender and Tilda Swinton? Or a peek at Mindhunter season 3?

–Robert Downey Jr. is keeping hope alive for Iron Man 4, saying their in “the middle of negotiations.”

-At this point, it’s more fun to read recaps of The Morning Show than to watch the actual show.

–Nick Mohammed (who plays Nate on Ted Lasso) posted a list of all the time his character showed his true colours, but I don’t agree with what he calls the “microagressions” against Nate in season 2. The character may see them as that, but they weren’t actually.

-Meanwhile, Juno Temple talked to Vanity Fair about her character’s fake Vanity Fair photoshoot.

-20 current and former staffers of The Wrap spoke out about “screaming outbursts” and “demeaning behavior” at the entertainment news site.

-Ohhh nelly, Jason Reitman‘s new Ghostbusters movie is getting mixed reviews. Variety says it’s “unnecessary but enjoyable,” AV Club calls it a “a dispiriting nostalgia exercise” with “maximum reverence and minimum comedy”, and The Guardian calls it “a damning summary of modern Hollywood’s default mode – a nostalgia object, drained of personality and fitted into a dully palatable mold, custom-made for a fandom that worships everything and respects nothing.”

–Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette explain the rules of survival in the new Scream trailer.

Regina King Brings Back the Buzz

–Regina King graces the October cover of Vanity Fair. I feel like she got robbed of lots of Oscar buzz last year because the awards circuit was so quiet, so I’m hoping she gets to make up for it with The Harder They Fall. (“It won’t be like One Night in Miami….” She pauses, and I hear tears in her voice. “We never got the opportunity to see our film with an audience. I’m grateful to be healthy. I’m grateful that all of our crew and cast are healthy. We got to be in so many different festivals…but we didn’t get a chance to share that, except through this,” she says, indicating the virtual realm. “That was disappointing. But everything is for a reason. I try not to question God’s will.”) Also, this photoshoot is awesome. That gold skirt!!

-In THR’s new cover story, Benedict Cumberbatch discusses staying in character as a meanie while shooting Netflix’s The Power of the Dog. “[Director Jane Campion] introduced me to the crew as Phil and said, ‘You’ll meet Benedict at the end. Benedict’s really nice. Phil is Phil.’ And it just gave me carte blanche to say, ‘No.’ To be Phil, really. To stand in his shoes.”

-Congrats to Jennifer Lawrence and Cooke Maroney, who are expecting their first child.

–Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have arrived in Venice for the premiere of his new movie.

-Netflix will be bringing a Bridgerton fan experience to select cities next year. I want it!

-The is an interesting look at how the depiction of suicide on TV is changing.

-TIFF starts today! Here are my picks for the 10 buzziest films, most of which are hitting theatres or streaming very soon.

–Keira Knightley’s dark holiday film, which I’m seeing next week, has already sold at the festival.

-I’m not going to be able to watch any TV for the next week, but it feels like everything is debuting, including Jessica Chastain and Oscar Isaac‘s HBO show Scenes from a Marriage, FX’s long-awaited Y: The Last Man, and the VMAs.

-Speaking of the VMAs, Nicky Minaj just pulled out.

-Aw man. Phoebe Waller-Bridge has left the Mr & Mrs Smith project she was going to do with Donald Glover for Amazon.

-Netflix must have been more impressed with Addison Rae’s performance in He’s All That than critics were; they just signed her to a multi-movie deal.

-Watch Demi Lovato and friends search for UFOs in the trailer for Peacocks’ Unidentified.

-The Princess Diana content keeps flooding in. Netflix released the first trailer for Diana: The Musical, which will premiere in October ahead of the show’s return to Broadway.
