Freddie Prinze Jr.

Phoebe Dynevor’s Under Pressure

Phoebe Dynevor wears a green Louis Vuitton dress on the cover of Harper's Bazaar.

-Bridgerton’s Phoebe Dynevor covers Harper’s Bazaar’s November 2021 issue and opens up about her mental health amid her rising fame. “I don’t think anyone knows how to handle that. I worry about everything. I’m full of anxiety. I have a fear of failure, letting someone down, contradicting myself. You see what it is for your mental health to be in the public eye. I meditate, I have a therapist, I walk every day. There are things I do to ground myself, because it’s quite hectic at the moment.”

-I am so utterly charmed by Justin Bieber‘s new music video “Ghost”, in which he plays a doting grandson to Diane Keaton.

-Meanwhile, Justin Bieber apparently wants to “squish out a nugget” with Hailey Bieber by the end of the year. Who wants to tell him?

Woody Harrelson reportedly punched a man who refused to stop taking photos of him and his daughter.

Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Jennifer Love Hewitt crashed the I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot’s NYCC panel. That must mean they’re all making a guest appearance in the Amazon series, right? Otherwise, that’s just stealing the new cast’s thunder for no reason.

-Variety’s photo essays and interviews IATSE members’ medical scares and car crashes are fascinating.

-I really liked this profile of Issa Rae as she contemplates Insecure coming to an end.

Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp, who played parents Red and Kitty Forman in That ’70s Show, are set to return in a spinoff called That ’90s Show for Netflix. Original series creators Bonnie and Terry Turner and their daughter Lindsey are onboard as writers and executive producers.

Dave Chappelle doesn’t seem bothered by the backlash to his new Netflix comedy special. “If this is what being canceled is like, I love it.”

-Matthew McConaughey admits he’s still on the fence about running for governor of Texas because politics is “a bag of rats, man.” No sh*t.

Kumail Nanjiani was all about posting thirst traps when he was bulking up for The Eternals, but now he says he’s become “very uncomfortable” talking about it on the press tour. (Which is fine! People are allowed to change their mind about body scrutiny, but he had to see this becoming something he’d be asked a lot about.)

-Wow, the early buzz for Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s The Last Duel is strong. I would not have predicted that from the trailers.

-A WandaVision spinoff starring Kathryn Hahn as Agatha Harkness is in development at Disney Plus, according to Variety.

-There are also rumours that Marvel Studios is developing a Disney+ show for WandaVision’s Teyonah Parris, who played Monica Rambeau.

-What in the world was The Matrix casting like? First came yesterday’s news the Janet Jackson auditioned, and now Madonna is saying she turned down a role in the movie. “Can you believe that? That’s like one of the best movies ever made. A teeny-tiny part of me regrets just that one moment in my life.”

-While the Sopranos sequel The Many Saints of New York did dismally at the weekend box office, it broke streaming records on HBO Max.

Tiffany Haddish tries to solve a murder in the new trailer for Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s Apple+ series, The Afterparty.

Timothée Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan Reunite for Little Women

Timothée Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan EW cover

Timothée Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan are on the cover of EW’s November issue and every photo in this spread is so beautiful that I want it tattooed to the inside of my eyelids.

-There’s also a good new Vulture feature on Chalamet, in which he talks about being an Oscar-nominated leading man, a social-media phenomenon, and, most surprisingly, a fashion icon.

-I go away for a few days and Jennifer Aniston joins Instagram? Rude.

-Speaking of news I missed, the idea of Mandy Moore reliving her ’90s popstar days in a new ABC series is *chef’s kiss*

-I loved her on Jane the Virgin but seriously, how many times is Gina Rodriguez going to screw up with the Black community? (Here’s the now-deleted video.) And at what point are celebrities going to realize that saying “I’m sorry if I offended you” doesn’t actually qualify as an apology?!

-Ah crap. Nicole Cliffe (who is usually pretty reliable) is tweeting about how she’s heard lots of not great stories about Jeff Goldblum‘s interactions with women. Universe, can we not have *one* unproblematic fave?!?

-Speaking of men who do not have a good reputation, FX has fired The Mayans showrunner Kurt Sutter for being an “abrasive dick“. According to THR, multiple complaints were made about his behavior on the set of the series.

Jonah Hill passed on role in The Batman opposite Robert Pattinson and Zoe Kravitz, so they just cast Paul Dano as The Riddler (which seems like an upgrade?).

Robert Pattinson can’t stop talking about his masturbation scene in The Lighthouse. I’ll allow it.

-This is an incredibly good interview with Ronan Farrow, in which he talks about NBC’s response to his book, how his sister Dylan serves as his conscience, and his engagement to Jon Lovett

-This is a great story about how a tweet got Ellen Page’s documentary into TIFF with just a month to spare.

-I’m really surprised that Taylor Swift hadn’t done a Tiny Desk Concert before now.

-When it comes to Fall TV’s broadcast debuts, Prodigal Son, Stumptown and The Unicorn are getting solid ratings, but it doesn’t look good for the other new shows, so I hope you haven’t been getting attached to Evil, Emergence, All Rise, Bluff City Law, Almost Family, Perfect Harmony or Sunnyside.

-I watched the Breaking Bad movie on a plane and cried. Like, actual tears. This deep-dive with Vince Gilligan into the making of it is worth your time.

Freddie Prinze Jr.‘s f-bomby Star Wars rant is kind of delightful (and surprisingly educational).

-Critics have seen the first six episodes of HBO’s The Watchmen — premiering Sunday from Damon Lindelof of Lost and The Leftovers — and the reviews are glowing.

-Speaking of new shows, Paul Rudd‘s Netflix series Living With Yourself is getting good but not great reviews.

-Here’s a new trailer for A Marriage Story, starring Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson and hitting Netflix on Dec. 6.

Is Charlie Hunnam Cancelled?

-Jesus, Charlie Hunnam. I really didn’t want to end the week badly, but then you went ahead and praised Jordan Peterson in an interview. WHY?!?!?

-This is incredibly sad: One Direction star Louis Tomlinson‘s sister Félicité died of a suspected heart attack. She was only 18.

Soulja Boy was arrested on Friday for violating his parole.

-Look, between the college entry scandal and James Gunn being reinstated as the director of Guardians of Galaxy vol 3, I seriously can’t remember a week with more WTF? breaking news. Gunn returning to the fold is a good thing; his firing was the result of bs outrage manufactured by alt-right douchenozzles.

Insiders tell THR that Marvel/Disney never actually undertook a search for someone to replace the filmmaker and had gone back to Gunn and made a deal…in secret.

-It’s weird to be at the “all my teen crushes now play dads” phase of life. Freddie Prinze Jr. will play Nancy Drew’s hot dad in upcoming CW pilot.

-This is a good article from the NYT’s TV critic about how Netflix is not your friend, no matter how cute their Twitter feed is.

-Netflix has finally removed the 2013 Lac-Megantic train derailment footage from Bird Box.

Milo Ventimiglia treated James Corden to a lap dance and Kate Beckinsale got to watch.

Alicia Keys‘ son flirting with Taylor Swift at the iHeart Awards is all kinds of cute.

Julia Roberts rightly believes that a movie like Pretty Woman wouldn’t fly these days: “I don’t think you could make that movie now, right? So many things you could poke a hole in, but I don’t think it takes away from people being able to enjoy it.”

Lily James and Alicia Vikander get married in this clip from the Four Weddings and a Funeral reunion special for Red Nose Day.

-Michelle Yeoh looks amazing in the Master Z trailer!
