Katy Perry: Motherhood Healed “Pain in My Heart”

L’Officiel’s-Summer-Issue-Katy-Perry

-I didn’t even recognize Katy Perry on the cover of L’OFFICIEL. She talked about how her life has changed since she welcomed her daughter Daisy. “As a performer I’ve always relied on the love and acceptance and validation of the outside world and that ultimately can waver at times. When you have a child, you have someone who looks at you and doesn’t know anything on your resume, doesn’t know anything about your bank account, doesn’t know anything, doesn’t care, and just loves you. Unconditional love. It’s just…everything I think I was looking for.”

-I love that Nicholas Braun landed a British GQ cover. Sadly, he wasn’t asked about DeuxMoi’s obsession with his sex life.

–Taylor Swift is going to try to shake off the Cats stink with another swing at acting. She’s joined the cast of David O. Russell’s next film, starring alongside Christian Bale and Margot Robbie.

–Kate Winslet was interviewed by Maureen Dowd for the NYT, and her reaction to the rapid fire round is hilarious. When asked about following Bennifer news she replied “What? No! I’ve never read about Jennifer in my life. What are these questions?”

-She also talked about insisting on being unglamorous for Mare of Easttown, and says she disapproved the promotional poster twice because she was too retouched. “They were like ‘Kate, really, you can’t,’ and I’m like ‘Guys, I know how many lines I have by the side of my eye, please put them all back.’… I guess that’s why people have connected with this character in the way that they have done because there are clearly no filters. She’s a fully functioning, flawed woman with a body and a face that moves in a way that is synonymous with her age and her life and where she comes from. I think we’re starved of that a bit.”

-The Amell cousins are returning for a Code 8 sequel. Hopefully they can pay for it themselves this time.

–Julianne Hough’s teen niece posted a TikTok saying “My aunt has slept with Leonardo DiCaprio. Apparently, he’s not good in bed, though.” She didn’t mention if he wore headphones, though.

-The Friends cast received at least $2.5 million each to appear in the special.

-In their latest podcast, Rachel Bilson and Melinda Clarke spoke about Mischa Barton’s recent comments on her poor treatment during the filming of The O.C. “Where is she going with this and what is she trying to say? I would actually like to talk to her and find out what her experience was from her perspective, because I saw things a little differently.”

–Martin Freeman called method acting “the most self-aggrandizing, selfish, narcissistic f**king bollocks I have ever seen.” My favourite method acting story when Dustin Hoffman told Laurence Olivier that he hadn’t slept because he was filming a scene where his character was up for three days straight, and Olivier replied “Why don’t you just try acting?”

–Kelly Osbourne appeared on Red Table Talk and discussed her relapse during the pandemic after 4 years of sobriety.

-Congrats to Lance Bass, who’s expecting twins with his hubby.

-Broad City’s Ilana Glazer stars in the new pregnancy horror film False Positive.

 

Dave Franco and Alison Brie Are Married

-Congratulations to Dave Franco and Alison Brie, who got married.

-Speaking of marriage, Broad City’s Ilana Glazer also tied the knot to her longtime boyfriend, David Rooklin.

-Not surprisingly, Angelina Jolie was reportedly “feeling butterflies” before taking on a job that she seems completely unqualified for.

–Emma Watson will never be allowed to wear a yellow dress ever again.

-Forgot those skeevy tabloid rumours. Eva Mendes went to SXSW with Ryan Gosling (but she avoided the red carpet).

-Eva is also on the cover of the new Shape magazine, talking about her love of Krispy Kremes. Same, girl.

-Jesus, has there ever been an actor worse at PR than Iron Fist’s Finn Jones?? He’s blaming Trump for bad reviews, skating over the show’s diversity issue, and getting worked up over the “problematic” internet outrage. Doesn’t he remember that Marvel replaced Terrence Howard for less?

-Joss Whedon has mixed feelings about binge watching. Me too.

-I think half of the reason I push back against This Is Us is the way that show is so aggressively marketed as sad. We’re being told tonight’s finale is going to be “intense as hell,” “stressful,” “heartbreaking,” and go to the “darkest place we’ve ever been.”  Parenthood (the show it gets compared to most) certainly had its heavy moments but it didn’t drown in them. I don’t want to feel like that every single week. Plus, the show totally lacks nuance.

-I keep forgetting that Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk are having a baby. Probably because I keep forgetting about Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk.

-This is why I try to avoid reading articles about comic-based shows on comic sites. Because of crap like this. God forbid there are two shows featuring female leads without pitting them against each other!

-Out of all the Weekend Update duos that deserved their own spinoff, this one isn’t it.

-Between someone editing Breaking Bad into a 2-hour film, and the Game of Thrones creators bragging that they are making a “73-hour movie,” I’m pretty over people pretending that movies are better than TV. No one wants to watch a 73 hour movie. Make a TV show instead! TV is good!

-Here’s the new teaser for Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds‘ Life.

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck Call Off Divorce

-People magazine is reporting that Jennifer Garner has called off the divorce and is trying to work on her marriage to Ben Affleck, which aligns with some recent blind items.

-Want to know what happened between Scarlett Johansson and Romain Dauriac? Don’t hold your breath. When she officially filed for divorce yesterday, she said she will “‘never, ever be commenting on the dissolution of my marriage.” If her marriage to Ryan Reynolds is any indication, she’ll probably hold true to that.

–Emma Watson confirmed the Harry Potter cast has a group chat going on WhatsApp.

–Emma also defended her comments about Beyoncé.

–Cate Blanchett looks all kinds of amazing as Hela in Thor Ragnarok.

-It’s Buffy’s 20th anniversary and I’m going to read every retrospective article out there! I particularly liked this one on how the show’s villains were a field guide to misogyny, and this interview with the guy who played Warren, who says James Marsden used to hold his breathe during scenes because “vampires don’t breath, mate.” Buffy is tied with TXF as my TV true love, but miss me with all this talk about it returning.

–Meghan Markle is speaking out on the shame surrounding menstruation. I really like this girl.

-Last night’s The Flash hit series lows. CW superhero shows are struggling hard in ratings this season. Here’s an idea: maybe people don’t want to watch shows where the heroes act like dumb piles of turd?

-Meanwhile, This Is Us just set a new record in total viewers, proving the world can’t get enough of misery porn. (I don’t hate the show, I just find it…exhausting.)

-The most popular podcast in the US right now deals with the seeming disappearance of fitness guru Richard Simmons, who may or may not be being held hostage by his housekeeper. His rep explained that Simmons is not involved with the podcast because “the truth is that he’s fine.”  You know what would be a great way to prove that? Be on the podcast!

–Kristen Stewart has opened up about why she was “so utterly proud” to announce she’s gay on SNL.

–Brie Larson calls Hollywood’s body standards a “cycle of abuse.”

-I really liked this examination of Big Little Lies’ best scene yet. Up until this past episode, I wasn’t really sure why Nicole Kidman was in this show (or why she kept getting naked). But she was fantastic in this scene. I loved how she kept stealing glances at her husband, both because she was looking for permission before talking and because she had no idea what he was going to say.

-Andrew Garfield, Adam Driver, Lucas Hedges and more deliver Clueless’ debate speech. I’m kind of loving Garfield’s take on Cher.

-Marvel’s new Netflix show Iron Fist is not getting good reviews. Like, at all. Polygon calls the show about the presumed dead playboy who comes back to his city to fight crime ‘laughably bad,’ THR says it’s ‘a dud‘, Variety deems it a lesser version of Arrow and says its plodding pace makes it “the most frustrating and ferociously boring example of Netflix Drift,” and pretty much everyone is making fun of the terrible white lead.

-The new trailer for The Handmaid’s Tale reveals Offred‘s tragic backstory. This show is going to gut me, isn’t it? (It still hasn’t been picked up by a Canadian broadcaster, which is utter BS since it’s based off an Atwood novel.)

-Here’s the red band trailer for Rough Nigh, which covers that awkward moment when you and your friends accidentally kill a male stripper during a bachelorette party. It stars Jillian Bell, Ilana Glazer, Scarlett Johansson, Zoë Kravitz and Kate McKinnon.
