Olivia Wilde Talks Harry Styles in Vogue

 

olivia wilde vogue

–Olivia Wilde is on the cover of Vogue to promote … well, I don’t know what she’s promoting, but she vaguely references her relationship with Harry Styles. “It’s obviously really tempting to correct a false narrative. But I think what you realize is that when you’re really happy, it doesn’t matter what strangers think about you. All that matters to you is what’s real, and what you love, and who you love.”

–Madonna‘s daughter Lourdes Leon is on the cover of Paper.

–Miley Cyrus and Pete Davidson revealed they got matching tattoos after doing an SNL episode together in 2017.

-HBO is in initial talks to reboot Six Feet Under. That show has what is universally acknowledged to be one of the best series finales ever; why risk tainting that legacy?

–Tom Holland started a WhatsApp group chat with fellow Spider-Men Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. Gee, I wonder on which set they became friends??

-This story is SO WEIRD: police bodycam video recorded on Jan. 4, 2021, shows Kanye West’s publicist telling a Georgia election worker who Trump falsely accused of manipulating votes that she was in imminent danger. The publicist, Trevian Kutti, who’s a Trump supporter, urged the election worker to confess to fraud and seemed to threaten her and her family.

–Florence Pugh claimed on her Instagram Story that she had been blocked from posting about her appearance on a Marvel show, which is weird. Is Disney controlling Instagram?

-Ghosts feels like the only network hit to come out of the fall shows. They’ve released bloopers from the first season.

-Peloton had to put out a statement after their product was featured in a shocking plot twist in the Sex and the City reboot. IYKYK.

-I think releasing just two eps of the reboot was a mistake because the first couple are so dour, depressing, and trying too hard to fix past representation mistakes (my friend and I literally fast-forwarded every scene with Miranda and her prof because it was too cringe), but according to critics the next two episodes are more in line with the tone of the original series.

–Mike Flanagan’s next Netflix series just added 20 new cast members, including Midnight Mass’ Samantha Sloyan and Rahul Kohli.

Britney Spears Is Engaged

–Britney Spears announced her engagement to longtime partner Sam Asghari this past weekend. Hilariously, Octavia Spencer commented “Make him sign a prenup.” Equally hilarious, Asghari then posted a story saying “Of course we’re getting an ironclad prenup to protect my jeep and shoe collection in case she dumps me one day.”

-The VMAs were wild last night. UFC champion Conor McGregor shoved Machine Gun Kelly on the red carpet because security tried to stop him from shaking MGK’s hand (you can see Megan Fox being ushered out of harm’s way), Normani and Lil Nas X ate their performances, Madonna showed off her butt, and everyone dressed like it was 2002.

–This video of Ben Affleck interacting with fans is very cute (even though some of their comments are making me cringe. His laugh after that guy’s “Man, you got that girl back” and the other guy’s “You’re the real MVP” saves it, though).

-Here’s Beyonce and Jay-Z’s video ad for Tiffany’s, directed by Emmanuel Adjei. The company has also has pledged to donate scholarship funding to students pursuing degrees in creative fields at HBCUs.

–Jeff Bridges revealed that his cancer is now in remission. He also says he endured a brutal battle with COVID-19 and spent five weeks in the hospital due to all his health issues. “We, (I) often want some other gift that life isn’t giving us. I mean, who would want to get cancer & COVID? Well… it turns out I would. I would, because I get to learn more about love, [and] learn things that I never would have if I never got it.”

-Doctor Who actress Tanya Fear has been found safe after her family reported her missing since Thursday.

-Here’s the first trailer for Disney+’s Hawkeye series, starring Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton, and Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop.

Olivia Rodrigo Talks Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift

Olivia Rodrigo, lil nas x and thomas doherty on separate Variety covers

-It’s a big day for the young ‘uns in Hollywood. The Hollywood Reporter announced it’s New Hollywood A-list, featuring Florence Pugh, Anya Taylor-Joy, Rege-Jean Page and more. Meanwhile, Olivia Rodrigo is on the cover of Variety’s Power of Young Hollywood Issue, which also features Lil Nas X and Gossip Girl’s Thomas Doherty. (The 90s styling for all these photo shoots is breaking my brain.)

-Meanwhile, Variety’s Q&A portion with Lil Nas X is worth a read. The talks about meeting guys on Grindr, why people shouldn’t make jokes about bottoming, and how he’s met “the one.”

-In news that should surprise no one, David Schwimmer‘s rep is shooting down that sketch report that he’s dating Jennifer Aniston.

–Dolly Parton has co-authored a novel with James Patterson, because there’s nothing she can’t do!

-Jeopardy announced Mike Richards and Mayim Bialik are splitting host duties. Richards will host the daily syndicated program (shady lawsuits be damned) and Bialik will host prime time specials and spinoffs

-A new Netflix YouTube series interviews mothers about their famous children. Anyone else find it weird that Netflix has series on Youtube? Like, don’t you already have a streaming service for that?

-“The female gaze is a Career Maker” is so, so true, which makes actors shying away from romcoms odd. Even recently, I feel like Glen Powell, Noah Centineo, and Jacob Elori all became buzzy only after being in a romcom.

-Speaking of Elori, Kissing Booth 3 is getting unsurprisingly bad reviews. Still gonna watch it and hate myself after…

–Hilary Swank has settled her suit against SAG-AFTRA after being denied health coverage for treatment of endometriosis and ovarian cysts.

–50 Cent says DaBaby is going to be just fine. “As long as he keeps the consistency with the music, he’ll be back. Remember they cancelled Chris Brown like five or six times?”

–Justin Bieber is leading the MTV VMAs with seven nominations, followed by Megan Thee Stallion with six nods.

-I keep forgetting that Brett Goldstein not only plays Roy Kent on Ted Lasso, but he’s also a writer on the show. He says his favourite scene is one he didn’t write or star in: when Rebecca confesses to Ted.

–Lea Michele trended today because there’s a Funny Girl revival happening and everyone is wondering how she’s feeling that she wasn’t cast in it — Beanie Feldstein was.

-Congrats to Sophia Bush, who announced her engagement. I love that they did a whole photo shoot in Lake Como.

-Meanwhile, the ladies of OTH are doing a podcast rewatch, we means we’re suddenly getting new dirt on a show that went off the air in 2012. Sophia Bush says talking about her ex-husband and former costar Chad Michael Murray is “not worth my time,” adding “Oh, I’m not going to talk about him. I’m not allowed to because I’ve tried to poke fun at being a dumb kid and whenever I’ve done that, it gets twisted into I’m talking s— about somebody who I don’t even know anymore, who’s clearly a grownup.”  I still remember how crazy it was to be in Toronto when Murray was shooting House of Wax with Paris Hilton and all the crazy sightings/rumours flying around.

-Fans of Dan Levy raised $5ok for the Faculty of Native Studies at UofA, and he took to Instagram to express his awe and admiration.

-Here’s the season two trailer for The Other Two, one of my favourite comedies from last year. Between this and The White Lotus, I’m so here for the Molly Shannon renaissance!

-Showtime released the trailer for its upcoming docuseries Gossip, about celeb coverage. The trailer focuses on Rupert Murdoch and Page Six’s Cindy Adams, but I hope it also has an episode devoted to Janice Min, who I think had the biggest impact on who gets covered and how.

-The trailer for Nic Cage’s Prisoners Of The Ghostland is as odd as you’d expect.
