Jamie Foxx

Gwendoline Christie and John Boyega Face Their Fears

-Could The Last Jedi press tour be any more charming? Here’s the cast taking the “Which Star Wars Character From The New Trilogy Are You?” Buzzfeed quiz. Buzzfeed also had Oscar Isaac and John Boyega read thirst tweets about themselves. And my favourite:  Gwendoline Christie and Boyega sticking their hands in a creepy box.  “Is it a crab?! Is it a CRAB?!”

-While we’re all buying canned goods and prepping our makeshift bunkers for the end of times, Taylor Swift is reflecting on how awesome 2017 was. You do you, girl.

–Jamie Foxx celebrated his 50th birthday with Katie Holmes by his side. (I love how in this video you can clearly see her say “Don’t worry about me. It’s your birthday. I’m good!” and yet he continues to fret over her.)

–Nine more women have accused Russell Simmons of sexual misconduct.

–Harvey Weinstein responded to Salma Hayek‘s sexual harassment claims, releasing a statement to say “All of the sexual allegations as portrayed by Salma are not accurate.”

-Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock got ahead of the story by admitting to sexual misconduct in an open letter. The Super Size Me director revealed that he was once accused of rape and had settled a sexual harassment claim made by a female employee. Spurlock also admitted to being “unfaithful to every wife and girlfriend I have ever had.”

-I’m glad that Mark Ruffalo and Don Cheadle are inviting other kids besides Keaton to the Infinity Wars premiere.

-Why did I read the latest creepy Dear David thread right before bed last night?! (Here’s the entire saga if you never want to sleep again.  I’m still holding out hope that this is an incredibly effective, incredibly slow-moving viral promotion for an upcoming horror flick.)

-On the flip side, this is, without a doubt, the best Twitter thread to ever exist.

-My favourite holiday tradition is watching Olivia Colman and David Tennant playing chilli jam roulette while in their Broadchurch costumes. (It’s also a stark reminder that I don’t know much about scone etiquette. Her anger at the idea of putting jam on before cream baffles me.)

-Could the Murdoch sale spell doom for the Fox network as we know it?  Scripted shows suddenly make a lot less sense than reality shows, live events and sports.

-The Ocean 8 poster is everything.

-I really couldn’t get through this whole Madonna interview. She’s beautiful. She’s always been beautiful. What is she doing?

-This roundup of the juiciest celebrity blind items of the year is quality content!

-Vera Farmiga challenges Liam Neeson in The Commuter trailer.

Beyonce Interviews Solange

–Beyonce will no longer be interviewed (apparently), but she interviews her sister Solange in the new issue of Interview and it’s everything you could ever hope for. An actual question: “What are some misconceptions about being a strong woman?”

-Fences mended? Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were spotted at Jay Z and Beyoncé’s house.

–Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have released their first joint statement since she filed for divorce in September, saying “The parents are committed to act as a united front to effectuate recovery and reunification.” Huh?

–Johnny Depp is reportedly continuing to drag his feet on paying his divorce settlement.

-In Madonna‘s new Harper’s Bazaar cover story, she talks about the nightmare of the Trump presidency and reveals that she calls rosé “summer water” (hey, I did it first!).

-TMZ reported that Jamie Foxx was violently attacked at an LA restaurant and he responded by pretending he was … but he wasn’t? Cool story, bro.

–Tom Hiddleston has apologized for that really terrible acceptance speech.

-The Amal Clooney pregnancy rumours are picking up steam.

-This is a great read on Sterling K Brown’s incredible year.

-I really like this take on how The Crazy Ex-Girlfriend renewal offers a preview of where TV might be going. It’s the lowest-rated show ever to be renewed by a major broadcast network, but its deals with CBS and Netflix (as well as its critical acclaim) give it wiggle room.

-So, there’s an actual chance that Deadpool could get a Best Picture Oscar nom. For real.

–Matthew McConaughey and Bryce Dallas Howard star in the red band Gold trailer.

-After three years of rumours, it’s been confirmed Katie Holmes is dating Jamie Foxx. The fact that the relationship was outed by a Real Housewife is just icing on the gossip cake!

–Jake Gyllenhaal and Rooney Mara went for a walk together in NYC yesterday, and now everyone is speculating about the nature of their relationship. I wouldn’t have called this one; he seems more of a Kate Mara kinda guy.

-It’s been a week of celebs speaking out about anti-Brexit, with John Oliver calling it the “British desire to tell Europe to go f—k itself,” while J.K. Rowling wrote an essay about it framed around villains and monsters. But leave it to Noel Gallagher to cut straight to the chase: “What are you asking the people for? 99 percent of the people are thick as pig shit.”

–Katy Perry found a new way to shade Taylor Swift — with her new fragrance!

-It’ll be interesting (in an incredibly sad, depressing kind of way) to see how Star Trek Beyond navigates their press tour in the wake of Anton Yelchin’s sudden death. They’ve just canceled their Cannes event.

-I friggin’ love this: Arrow put out a casting call for a new villain that’s inspired by a character on The Wire — and they ended up hiring The Wire’s Chad L. Coleman. In the wise words of Cutty: “The game done change.”

-What the hell is going on with Selma Blair? The details of her flight outburst are disturbing as hell.

-Sick of all the hate she got after criticizing Mariah Carey, Demi Lovato quit Instagram and Twitter and says she’s going to focus on Snapchat. That seems on brand anyway.

-This story about going to a Celine Dion concert is so wonderful, I Pocket’d it to re-read again later.

-The Walking Dead reportedly shot 11 different character death scenes to prevent Negan spoilers. That seems…crazy.

–Selena Gomez and James Corden‘s Carpoole Karaoke is cute but very product placement-y.

–Blake Lively and Jimmy Fallon played Know It All, didn’t know a lot.

-Meanwhile, her promo style for that shark movie is on point.

–Will Smith says he didn’t believe in Wild Wild West. Join the club, buddy.

-It’s probably not a good sign when Free State of Jones reviews say things like: well, at least Matthew McConaughey’s beard is one thing that’s accurate.

-Warner Bros inviting all the critics and comic book outlets who hated Batman v Superman to the set of Justice League is all kinds of brilliant, especially because the message they’re hitting hard is “we screwed up and we’re fixing it.” They’re basically acknowledging the haters for identifying the problems and getting good coverage in return. I haven’t seen this kind of scratch-my-back exchange since Ain’t It Cool News was a thing. (The Flash’s intro scene does sound fun, though.)

-Meanwhile, Ben Affleck is reportedly not happy with the script for his solo Batman movie.

–No, Kate Winslet! Bad!

–Sky Ferreira responded to a sexist L.A. Weekly article titled Sky Ferreira’s Sex Appeal Is What Pop Music Needs Right Now by saying “I’m not a think piece. I’m not a fucking example.”

-It’s new Mr Robot previews! I feel like I’m going to be watching the first episode much like I watched the season premiere of UnREAL — by muttering over and over again “please still be good, please still be good.”

-Here’s the trailer for American Honey starring Shia LaBeouf and Sasha Lane, which was beloved at Cannes.
