kristen-stewart-girlfriend-vanity-fair

–Kristen Stewart covers Vanity Fair’s September issue, opening up about her career path, her on-again girlfriend Stella Maxwell, her belief in ghosts, and how she eventually recovered from Twilight mania. The video of her going through her film roles is incredibly charming. (I only wish she would have continued talking about Clouds of Sils Maria and explained the ending ’cause I’m still confused.)

–Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello have taken their summer lovefest to the beach. If this is real, it’s A LOT.

-On What What Happens Live, Andy Cohen pressed Tituss Burgess on his co-star Eddie Murphy being “very problematic for the gays” and the Kimmy Schmidt star did not appreciate it. The actor then posted on Instagram that Cohen can be “a messy queen.”

-Look, the Cats movie is probably going to be a trash but at least it gifted us with this clip of Idris Elba trying to teach Stephen Colbert how to walk like a cat.

-I don’t believe for a second that Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Garner are dating, but they’ve been friends since Alias so I’m actually surprised it took tabloids this long to put them together.

–Lady Gaga‘s rumoured new boyfriend is an audio engineer who worked with her on her Vegas residency.

–Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner got matching tats in honour of their late dog, who was killed last week by a hit and run.

-Man, early buzz for Mindy Kaling‘s Four Weddings And A Funeral adaptation wasn’t great, but the reviews are out now and they’re really, really negative. (Indiewire didn’t hate it, tho!)

–Lil Nas X is getting love from Mariah Carey, whose Billboard record he just surpassed.

–Donald Glover‘s alter ego Childish Gambino is covering songs by Garth Brooks’ alter ego Chris Gaines. My head hurts.

-I love that Sarah Michelle Gellar started a meal train for Selma Blair when she got sick.

–Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson lose their sanity in The Lighthouse trailer.

–Joss Whedon‘s new show is a Victorian sci-fi series and I’m already exhausted.

-Disney’s box office domination continues as four of its 2019 titles have joined the billion-dollar club and it’s barely August. (Just wait until the new Frozen and Star Wars movies drop.)

-Twelve strangers (including Betty Gilpin, Justin Hartley, Ike Barinholtz and Emma Roberts) wake up in a clearing, not knowing how they got there — or that Hilary Swank now plans to hunt them down for sport in the trailer for the aptly named The Hunt.

Taylor Swift, Idris Elba, Jennifer Hudson and More Star in the Cats Trailer

-The trailer for Cats just dropped and what. the. fork. Seriously, all that talk about “digital fur technology” and this is what they came up with?! For all those people complaining about the uncanny valley of the new Lion King movie, just wait until the get an eyeful of cat boob. I’m gonna have nightmares about this for weeks…

-Speaking of The Lion King, the new video for “Spirit” shows Beyonce with her dancers interspersed with clips from film — and includes an adorable appearance by Blue Ivy.

-I’m bummed that Bradley Whitford and Jane Kaczmarek are no longer married — but I do approve of his new marriage to Transparent costar Amy Landecker. Their wedding photo is *chef’s kiss*

-According to a new story in People, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s split from Kate and William will “allow them more time to be like family.” So they won’t see each other except at awkward holiday dinners?

–Trevor Noah used his latest “Between the Segments” clip to address the Scarlett Johansson casting controversy, and it’s a very articulate, measured take.

-I liked this article on Emmy campaigning by smaller shows like Schitt’s Creek and Killing Eve, who relied on buzz and fan engagement instead of trying to spend money on billboards and trade publication ads.

–Will Smith trying to direct Jaden in a commercial is a good time.

-Netflix is losing U.S. subscribers for the first time in 8 years. Their shares nosedived 10% today after their Q2 reporting revealed a massive miss on new subscriber targets.

-Variety’s new cover story on Orange Is the New Black is a little too fawning, but I do like the acknowledgement that this show taught us how to watch TV on streaming.

–Bella Thorne and ex-girlfriend Tana Mongeau got into a Twitter fight last night. All the teens in your life care about this a lot. Trust.

-Booksmart’s Kaitlyn Dever plays a rape victim in the trailer for the new Netflix limited series Unbelievable, which costars Toni Collette and Merritt Wever as detectives working on a similar case.

–Ted Danson has already lined up his post-The Good Place gig: he’ll star in an NBC sitcom from Tina Fey.

-Hulu released the trailer for Untouchable, the Ursula Macfarlane-directed documentary about the fall of Harvey Weinstein.

-Love this article on how Legends of Tomorrow is living its best life as TV’s superhero underdog.

-At a Comic Con preview last night, DC showed the Batwoman pilot and early word of mouth is positive, with critics noting that it leans into the lead character’s queerness.

-It’s only day one of Comic Con and already we’ve gotten tons of news, such as the fact that Edward Furlong will play John Connor again for the first time in decades in the new Terminator movie.

-We also got a star-studded trailer for the Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, which features Chris Hemsworth, Melissa Benoist, Matt Damon, Rosario Dawson, Ben Affleck, Nicolas Cage, Justin Long, Grant Gustin, Craig Robinson and more.

–Tom Cruise made a surprise Comic Con appearance today to debut the Top Gun: Maverick trailer, 34 years after the original. “All of the flying you see in this picture, everything is real,” he told the crowd. This looks gorgeous. (And the short glimpse of a shirtless Glen Powell has already set Twitter on fire).

Arrow EW stephen amell caity lotz grant gustin

-I’ve given up on most of the Arrowverse shows, but good on EW for finally giving them a cover (the first monthly issue since they dropped the weekly format) in honor of Arrow’s final, shortened season.  Amell looks hella tired though.

–Tom Holland was spotted looking cozy with a girl who is NOT Zendaya and we’re all a little bit heartbroken.

-Ok, critics who’ve seen Veronica Mars’ new season keep warning about the “gutting” ending and I’m getting really worried. The latest is from Vulture: “It’s worth noting that some of the season’s concluding events will make some viewers, very, very, very mad. Really, incandescently mad.”

-Gossip Girl is coming back! An update just landed a straight-to-series order at Warner’s new streaming platform HBO Max, with Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage returning as EPs. It’ll be interesting to see how it’ll work with today’s social media. Will the new GG be more like a Diet Prada or Shade Room?

-I don’t even watch The Bachelorette but this recap is great.

-In advance of Friday’s trailer, the Cats movie released a featurette starring Taylor Swift, Idris Elba, Rebel Wilson and more. I’m still not entirely convinced this whole movie isn’t a prank. Between director Tom Hopper talking about how it’s a “timely story about diversity and inclusion” and James Corden saying “These are people but they’re cats. This is kind of blowing my mind,” it definitely feels like a prank.

-Time has named the 25 most influential people on the internet.

-This thread of Fleabag scenes makes me want to rewatch it even though I JUST DID.

-Two months after NBC canceled A.P. Bio, the sitcom has been revived — on NBCUniversal’s forthcoming streaming service.

-The first trailer for Hustling, starring Jennifer Lopez, Constance Wu, Lili Reinhart, Julia Stiles, Lizzo and Cardi B, has arrived. Inject this directly into my eyeballs please!!! (Also, if you’ve never read The Cut article that this movie is based on, it’s a wild ride.)
