Cardi B’s $2M Surprise

-What do you get the guy who has everything? Cardi B figured it out when she gave Offset his birthday present in public — a giant cheque for $2 million.

-In a new podcast, James Franco broke his four years of silence surrounding his sexual misconduct allegations. While he insisted his encounters were consensual, he did admit to sleeping with students in his film class, and said he had a sex addiction. “Over the course of my teaching, I did sleep with students, and that was wrong. But like I said, it’s not why I started the school and I wasn’t the person that selected the people to be in the class. So it wasn’t a ‘master plan’ on my part. But yes, there were certain instances where, you know what, I was in a consensual thing with a student and I shouldn’t have been.”

-Not surprisingly in light of recent allegations against him, Chris Noth‘s marriage is reportedly “hanging by a thread.”

-Actor Jay Johnston has reportedly been fired from Bob’s Burgers for attending the Jan. 6 insurrection.

-This is an excellent oral history on the making of Scream.

-How cute was Keanu Reeves on Drew Barrymore‘s show? She also shared a lovely memory of him. “I was at this club, and it was my 16th birthday, and you came in — this is the memory I have of it, if you have anything to add or change, please let me know — you walked in, and you grabbed my hand, and you took me outside, and you put me on your motorcycle, and we drove at the warp speed of my life. We went and you took me on the ride of my life. And I was so free, I was such a free human being. And it was [this] moment where I just remember loving life and being so happy. I hold it so dear because the older we get, the harder it is to get to that feeling.”

-While Spider-Man’s insanely good box office returns is indisputably a big win for theatrical recovery, it also underscores that the massive divide between big, splashy tentpole films and everything else, a gap that was exacerbated by the pandemic.

Tom Holland made good on his promise to bring a little boy who saved his sister in a dog attack to the Spider-Man set.

-Speaking of Spider-Man, I love all the praise Andrew Garfield is getting for his take on Peter Parker. They were my least fave SM movies, but I adored him and Emma Stone in them.

-Covid is messing everything up in Hollywood again, with a ton of productions and events getting cancelled.

-Wheel of Time is a hit (supposedly) for Amazon.

-In his new Netflix special, Dave Chappelle tries to justify button-pushing jokes about gay people, trans people, and feminists — and critics say he often fails. He defends DaBaby and JK Rowling, and says he’s on “Team Terf.” Gross.

-Comedian Hollis Black‘s comments on the special have been trending, while Dear White People showrunner Jaclyn Moore said of Netflix: “I will not work with them as long as they continue to put out and profit from blatantly and dangerously transphobic content.”

-Among Britney Spears‘ many posts over the last few days was this one, which she captioned, “I suggest if you have a friend that’s been in a house that feels really small for four months … no car … no phone … no door for privacy and they have to work around 10 hours a day 7 days a week and give tons of blood weekly with never a day off … I strongly suggest you go pick up your friend and get them the hell outta there !!!!! If you’re like my family who says things like “sorry, you’re in a conservatorship” … probably thinking you’re different so they can fuck with you !!!! Thankfully I found an amazing attorney Mathew Rosengart who has helped change my life 🌹!!!!”

-In another, she also commented about her seemingly bizarre posts, saying “I feel like I have been a caged animal for half of my life …that’s exactly why I choose to direct myself … do my makeup myself … produce myself … dress myself … make music myself … feed myself … and shoot videos and pics myself”

-There were a lot of delightful appearances on late night last night. Brett Goldstein was on Seth Meyers, Daniel Craig was on Jimmy Kimmel, and the cast of Squid Game was on Jimmy Fallon.

-Speaking of Squid Game, I loved this analysis of the marble episode (the best ep, IMO).

Gabrielle Union says she once auditioned for The Matrix but she failed because she tried to channel Janet Jackson — and the real Janet showed up.

-Here’s the trailer for Gwyneth Paltrow‘s new Netflix show Sex, Love & Goop.

Nina Dobrev is catfished in the new Netflix movie Love Hard, and I’ll pretty much watch any romcom, but this trailer makes me worried that she’ll end up falling for her catfisher instead of the hottie from Never Have I Ever. Let’s all just rewatch Netflix’s excellent romcom The Half of It instead and call it a day.

The View Interrupted by Covid

-It was a wild day on The View. They were supposed to have Kamala Harris on today, but in the middle of the show producers announced co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro had to leave the table after testing positive for Covid-19. Joy Behar and Sara Haines just took audience questions for the bulk of the show, and Harris ended up calling in remotely for the last 10 minutes of the show.

Elon Musk and Grimes have broken up after three years together.

Drew Barrymore interviewed the cast of Dear Evan Hansen as Josie Gellar from Never Been Kissed. There’s a moment when you can actually see Julianne Moore‘s soul leave her body…

Cary Fukunaga covers The Hollywood Reporter to chat about Bond, but also dished a bit about what went down on True Detective. “[Writer] Nic [Pizzolatto] kept positioning himself as if he was my boss and I was like, ‘But you’re not my boss. We’re partners. We collaborate.’… Nic is a really good writer, but I do think he needs to be edited down. It becomes too much about the writing and not enough about the momentum of the story. My struggle with him was to take some of these long dialogue scenes and put some air into them.”

-The Other Two has been renewed for a third season. Yay!

-The Super Mario Bros animated movie is powering up with an all-star voice cast led by Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, and Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong. The internet is SO MAD about the Pratt casting!

-I can’t believe I stuck it out through all of  Nine Perfect Strangers. I also can’t believe no one stopped Nicole Kidman from doing whatever she was trying to do. Melissa McCarthy and and Bobby Cannavale were the only good parts of that show.

-Meanwhile, on the show’s last day Melissa McCarthy proved that Nicole Kidman will hug anyone — no matter how much it scares her.
