-For the first time in history US Vogue (left) and British Vogue (right) share a cover star: Adele. In her first interview in 5 years, she speaks about body image, romance, divorce, single parenthood and her “self-redemption” album.

-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).

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.

Gabrielle Union‘s tribute to him was incredibly touching. Kerry Washington’s, however, caused a stir for implying he and Prince Philip ended up in the same place (she’s since deleted it).

George Floyd‘s family’s attorney revealed that George Clooney emailed him with some brutal advice for the trial: “You should tell them if Derek Chauvin feels so confident [that the cause of death was drug use], he should volunteer during his case, to get down on the floor in that courtroom, and let somebody come and put their knee on his neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds and be able to see if he can survive.”

-There’s been a lot of pap photos recently of Jodie Turner-Smith and Joshua Jackson walking around NYC looking happy and in love. I don’t hate it.

-I don’t have the mental energy for a book club. But a gossip reading club? I’m so in.

The press release says it’s “an exhilarating and sexy series that will transform a group of men into real-life Magic Mikes. 10 men who have ‘lost their magic’ will come together in a competition series like no other.” Like they need to even sell us on it.

-Anyone else having a hard time making it through The Falcon And The Winter Soldier? There’s some big moments (like the last few minutes of the latest ep) but taken all together the show feels pretty middling.

I remember purposely wearing a T-shirt that said ‘Silicone Free’ [to a press junket] because I was so annoyed, and I knew something about boobs was gonna be the first question out of [reporters’] mouths.”

Rachel Bilson says Mr Robot’s Rami Malek asked her to take down a high school photo she posted of them. “I don’t usually check my DM’s on my Instagram…maybe a week goes by and I actually look and I have a message from Rami. But it wasn’t like, ‘Hey! How are you?!’ It was straight to: ‘I would really appreciate if you take that down. I’m a really private person.’ I was like, ‘Oh, sh-t! OK.’ I get really hot and start sweating. I’m all nervous, like, ‘Oh god! What did I do?’ He was a really good friend, it’s a funny picture…you know? I don’t take myself that seriously.”
