-Look at this photo of Channing Tatum and Sandra Bullock in Lost City Of D, a movie about a reclusive romance novelist who goes on a book tour with her cover model. Get in my eyeballs, already!

Brad Pitt won joint custody of his kids and everyone seems kind of surprised by it (which is probs a bad sign). Angelina Jolie‘s team is appealing the decision.

-In this week’s episode of KUWTK, Kim Kardashian revealed that she had covid last fall. Buzzfeed dove into the timeline and worked out that it came soon after her infamous private island birthday bash.

-According to Heather Morris, Naya Rivera was the only “honest” one about Lea Michele‘s behavior on the Glee set. “It’s like, we absolutely could have stepped up and gone to the Fox execs and said how we felt about the situation and nobody really did. So now we are living in a culture where it’s acceptable to go do things like that, whereas I think many people were very scared.”

-I liked this profile on Emma Stone, who talks about Cruella, long cigarette holders, and her own origin story: “All I wanted to do was play the daughter on a sitcom!”

Rosario Dawson tweeted after the court dismissed the anti-trans case against her: “That these false claims came from someone we’ve known as chosen family for decades and who we were trying so hard to help out, as we have many times in the past, was very heartbreaking. Nevertheless, we have great empathy for him and have only ever wished him well.”

Chris Noth is coming back as Mr. Big for the Sex and the City reboot.

-The first look at the new Gossip Girl reboot is here. I’m intrigued that Tavi Gevinson is part of the cast, and surprised that Kristen Bell is back to narrate.

Kim Kardashian’s Island Getaway Sparks Anger

Kim Kardashian announced on Twitter that she celebrated her 40th birthday by bringing her friends and family to a private island, because she’s rich enough to have access to rapid testing and dumb enough to not understand how tone-deaf it is to rub everyone’s faces in it. Twitter was quick to react with lots of snarky memes.

-Speaking of covid testing, Stephen Amell announced on a podcast that he had to take three weeks off shooting his new Starz wrestling series after he recently tested positive. He talked a lot about how safe he’d been, but as someone who follows him and a bunch of his friends on social media, I wasn’t seeing that. He was having parties in the thick of it, he flew to Canada for weeks, and just yesterday he posted a pic with some new cast members that immediately made me think “there’s too many people in your house.”

Angelina Jolie and Kids Teach Us How to Eat Bugs

-Does Angelina Jolie even need a publicist? Her very selective outlet choices this week suggests no — even though there is a definite shift towards family talk and kid exposure. She even cooked and ate bugs with her kids for the BBC.

-George Clooney says he and Amal will limit their travel to dangerous places now that twins are on the way. He also insists they spend more time together than we know (“People think we are never together, but we have not been separated for more than a week.”)

George also says he’s tired of Trump and Bannon’s hypocrisy, reminding the world that they are part of the “Hollywood elite.” (“Donald Trump has 22 acting credits. He collects $120,000 a year in his Screen Actors Guild pension fund…Steve Bannon is a failed film writer.”)

The second voter, a publicist, took a more measured approach, but still had some strong opinions (“Let me tell you, I did not understand The Lobster — it made me nuts”). Do Academy members even like movies?!

-The Honest Trailers crew took on this year’s Oscar nominations. I love the Fences bit.

-So what are the chances Matt Damon is going to “crash” Jimmy Kimmel‘s opening monologue at the Oscars? 97%?

-A huge Hollywood initiative has launched to battle gender inequality. There are big names connected to this.

Gwen Stefani spent a lot of time during her Seth Meyers interview gushing about Blake Shelton. Sigh.

Charlie Hunnam pulls the sword from the stone (which sounds dirty but sadly isn’t) in the new King Arthur trailer.

-Here’s the trailer for First They Killed My Father, a Netflix film directed by Angelina Jolie. Her 15-year-old son Maddox has an executive producer credit on this thing.
