Courteney Cox and Ed Sheeran Dance It Out

-Friends mania continues. Courteney Cox and Ed Sheeran recreated Ross and Monica’s iconic dance routine on her Instagram, but they didn’t quite stick the landing.

-Meanwhile, the Friends creators say they didn’t intend to have an all-white cast. Ok, but how about the reunion? They could bring back the guy who played Mr. Heckles but they couldn’t bring back Gabrielle Union, Aisha Tyler or Phil Lewis?

-Oof. Ellie Kemper was reportedly once the “queen” at an event hosted by the KKK. No word from her camp yet, but it blew up twitter today so I assume as statement is coming.

-The Marvel bosses are reportedly unhappy over those viral Taika Waititi, Tessa Thompson and Rita Ora photos.

–Dolly Parton says she sleeps with a full face of makeup “because I never know if there’s going to be an earthquake or a tornado or a storm and I’m going to have to go out in the middle of the night!”

-It looks like Trevor Noah and Minka Kelly have reunited. They were spotted vacationing in St. Barts.

-The way Regé-Jean Page talks about Bridgerton and the romance genre is so impressive. That boy did the required reading.

–Emmy Rossum managed to keep her entire pregnancy a secret during the pandemic.

-I wasn’t sure what to expect from the Mare of Easttown finale since I didn’t like last week’s episode, but they totally stuck the landing.

-I liked this interview with the show’s creator on how he structured the finale.

-The fact that gen z has embraced Jennifer’s Body and how that movie continues to be vindicated makes me happy.

Amy Schumer, Lena Dunham, Gina Rodriguez and More Talk Comedy

comedy actress roundtable

-The Hollywood Reporter gathered Emmy hopefuls Amy Schumer, Lena Dunham, Gina Rodriguez, Ellie Kemper, Kate McKinnon, and Tracee Ellis Ross to talk comedy, sexism, and drunk costars.

-Meanwhile, I amazed there aren’t a million think pieces about how Amy Schumer is in the middle of a near-perfect television season (or maybe there are and I’m just missing them?). Her latest skit puts Bill Cosby on trial.

–Archie Panjabi wouldn’t deny that the awkward final Good Wife scene between her and Julianna Margulies was pieced together with CGI, telling both E! News and Us Weekly: “All I can say is this: the decision making process is not something I’m privy to.” I wonder if Margulies is planning any damage control? Because no matter what went down or whose fault the feud is, the fact that there was such a lack of professionalism (but her, by the showrunners, by CBS bigwigs) that it was allowed to go that far is so very gross.

–George Clooney‘s aging secret? Embrace it (and, you know, try not to be a woman in Hollywood).

–Nicole Kidman‘s Grace of Monaco trainwreck finally aired on Lifetime this week, and the screenwriter live-tweeted everything that went wrong. (He had nice things to say about Milo Ventimiglia, at least).

-Speaking of former Gilmore Girls actors, it’s pretty rich that the guy who played Luke is bragging about his chemistry with Lauren Graham. ‘Cause when the show was airing, it kinda seemed like they didn’t like each other very much.

–Jonathan Rhys Meyers has apologized to fans after those drinking photos hit the web, calling it a “minor relapse.”

–Colton Haynes wore a hot pink suit to the San Andreas premiere and I hate it — but I also think it was a crazy smart career move. Get it, kid.

–Meek Mill says he and Nicki Minaj are not engaged because they’re “still learning each other, feeling each other out.” He knows about the no take-backsies rule, right?

-The trailer for Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee features Stephen Colbert, Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, Jim Carrey, and Bill Maher.

–Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris are still a pap-worthy thing.

-Here’s some footage of Ben Affleck doing Batman-y stuff on the Suicide Squad shoot, which would be a lot cooler if it hadn’t completely taken over my neighborhood this week. #GetOffMyLawn

-We may never know Netflix viewership numbers, but Daredevil tops the list of original programs in terms of user ratings, while Bojack Horseman sits in last place.

–Jason Segel goes full Capote as David Foster Wallace in the trailer for The End of the Tour.

-Also, here’s an excerpt from Jason‘s new kids’ book.

-The Point Break remake trailer makes me physically angry. Remember the part in the original where Keanu Reeves and Lori Petty are floating on their surfboards and he reaches out and grazes her thigh? Why you gotta mess with our memories, Hollywood?!

-Meanwhile, Taylor is taking the ‘don’t photograph me’ thing to Sia levels.

-Romance is dead. Susan Sarandon has dumped her ping-pong boyfriend “following a disagreement over a reality show,” which is how all great love stories usually end.

–Tina Fey‘s new show The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt starring Ellie Kemper premieres tomorrow on Netflix and critics are loving it.

-Can it be considered a Buffy reunion if Seth Green and Michelle Trachtenberg weren’t actually on Buffy at the same time? Whatevs, I’ll take what I can get.

–Zoe Kravitz faced off against Jimmy Fallon in a giant game of beer pong last night.  It comforts me that even she can’t pull off those shorts.

-This is the most Bill Murray-ist of all Bill Murray stories.

-The trailer for Dark Places, Gillian Flynn‘s latest book-to-movie adaptation starring Charlize Theron, is here and it’s a nail-biter. (It has French subtitles because it opens in France next month, but is still waiting for a North American release date.)
