Cardi B’s $2M Surprise

-What do you get the guy who has everything? Cardi B figured it out when she gave Offset his birthday present in public — a giant cheque for $2 million.

-In a new podcast, James Franco broke his four years of silence surrounding his sexual misconduct allegations. While he insisted his encounters were consensual, he did admit to sleeping with students in his film class, and said he had a sex addiction. “Over the course of my teaching, I did sleep with students, and that was wrong. But like I said, it’s not why I started the school and I wasn’t the person that selected the people to be in the class. So it wasn’t a ‘master plan’ on my part. But yes, there were certain instances where, you know what, I was in a consensual thing with a student and I shouldn’t have been.”

-Not surprisingly in light of recent allegations against him, Chris Noth‘s marriage is reportedly “hanging by a thread.”

-Actor Jay Johnston has reportedly been fired from Bob’s Burgers for attending the Jan. 6 insurrection.

-How was Denise Richards even allowed to board a plane without a mask?

–Jacob Elordi has reportedly moved on from Kaia Gerber with Olivia Jade (who I just realized are two different people).

-Selling Sunset couple Chrishell Stause and Jason Oppenheim have called it quits after just five months because they have different priorities when it comes to having children.

-This is an excellent oral history on the making of Scream.

-How cute was Keanu Reeves on Drew Barrymore‘s show? She also shared a lovely memory of him. “I was at this club, and it was my 16th birthday, and you came in — this is the memory I have of it, if you have anything to add or change, please let me know — you walked in, and you grabbed my hand, and you took me outside, and you put me on your motorcycle, and we drove at the warp speed of my life. We went and you took me on the ride of my life. And I was so free, I was such a free human being. And it was [this] moment where I just remember loving life and being so happy. I hold it so dear because the older we get, the harder it is to get to that feeling.”

-While Spider-Man’s insanely good box office returns is indisputably a big win for theatrical recovery, it also underscores that the massive divide between big, splashy tentpole films and everything else, a gap that was exacerbated by the pandemic.

–Tom Holland made good on his promise to bring a little boy who saved his sister in a dog attack to the Spider-Man set.

-Speaking of Spider-Man, I love all the praise Andrew Garfield is getting for his take on Peter Parker. They were my least fave SM movies, but I adored him and Emma Stone in them.

-Covid is messing everything up in Hollywood again, with a ton of productions and events getting cancelled.

-Wheel of Time is a hit (supposedly) for Amazon.

-Search Party’s final season drops on Jan 7. In the trailer, Dory starts a cult with Jeff Goldblum.

Charlie’s Angels Are Ready to Kick Hollywood’s Ass

Charlie s Angels Kristen Stewart Elizabeth Banks ew

-In the new issue of Elle, Lady Gaga talks to Oprah about her relationship with Bradley Cooper.

-This piece by Billie Lourd about her mom, Carrie Fisher, is devastatingly good. “Losing my mom is the hardest thing I’ve ever been through. I lost my best friend… And I inherited this weird, intimidating thing called her legacy.”

-I hate that Lizzo’s British Vogue cover is so blurry. I guess it’s supposed to be artistic or something, but hard pass.

-Greetings, Upper Eastsiders! Kristen Bell will return as the narrator on the new Gossip Girl reboot. xoxo!

-Speaking of Bell, I will never be able to reconcile how she and Dax Shepard are so vocal about privacy and protecting their family (as they should be!), but all of their endorsement deals revolve around spotlighting a happy family dynamic.

-Jesus. Not only is there an the increasingly loud whisper network about Jeff Goldblum, now he’s defending Woody Allen: “I think there is a presumption of innocence until proven guilty.”

-Everything old is new again: Mary-Louise Parker is set to return as Nancy Botwin in a Weeds revival. I loved the first few seasons of that show, but no.

–Donald Trump Jr. when on The View today and it turned into a total shitshow. Whoopi Goldberg ended up shutting it down.

–T.I.‘s daughter subtly responded to all the conversation about her hymen, thanking her followers for their support.

-As a refreshing counterpoint to T.I., here’s Ethan Hawke talking about his daughter’s sexuality.

–Drake is the latest celeb to get into the cannabis game: “The idea of being able to build something special in an industry that is ever-growing has been inspiring.”

–Jason Momoa tried to teach James Corden how to shoot a bow and arrow and crack an egg with a whip. It went about as well as you’d expect.

-Speaking of Momoa, he still has a job: Apple has already renewed four of its new shows: For All Mankind, See, Dickinson, and The Morning Show.

-And the next Met Costume Institute theme is… time.

-I’m a few episodes behind but I agree with this piece on how surprisingly good Stumptown is.

-Considering the lukewarm reviews the new season of Netflix’s The End of the F***ing World is getting, I’m just going to pretend it ended with last season’s perfect finale.

-This clip of Chris Evans and his brother answering questions about each other made me laugh out loud multiple times.

-I have recently started watching Bon Appetit’s Gourmet Makes before bed and what a delightful way to de-stress at the end of the day! Bless Vulture for ranking all 28 YouTube videos!

-The trailer landed for Vanessa Hudgens’s latest Netflix holiday movie and yeah, I need this pumped directly into my eyeballs.

–Elisabeth Moss is haunted by her abusive ex in the trailer for The Invisible Man.

Timothée Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan Reunite for Little Women

Timothée Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan EW cover

–Timothée Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan are on the cover of EW’s November issue and every photo in this spread is so beautiful that I want it tattooed to the inside of my eyelids.

-There’s also a good new Vulture feature on Chalamet, in which he talks about being an Oscar-nominated leading man, a social-media phenomenon, and, most surprisingly, a fashion icon.

-I go away for a few days and Jennifer Aniston joins Instagram? Rude.

-Speaking of news I missed, the idea of Mandy Moore reliving her ’90s popstar days in a new ABC series is *chef’s kiss*

-I loved her on Jane the Virgin but seriously, how many times is Gina Rodriguez going to screw up with the Black community? (Here’s the now-deleted video.) And at what point are celebrities going to realize that saying “I’m sorry if I offended you” doesn’t actually qualify as an apology?!

-Ah crap. Nicole Cliffe (who is usually pretty reliable) is tweeting about how she’s heard lots of not great stories about Jeff Goldblum‘s interactions with women. Universe, can we not have *one* unproblematic fave?!?

-Speaking of men who do not have a good reputation, FX has fired The Mayans showrunner Kurt Sutter for being an “abrasive dick“. According to THR, multiple complaints were made about his behavior on the set of the series.

–Jonah Hill passed on role in The Batman opposite Robert Pattinson and Zoe Kravitz, so they just cast Paul Dano as The Riddler (which seems like an upgrade?).

–Robert Pattinson can’t stop talking about his masturbation scene in The Lighthouse. I’ll allow it.

-This is an incredibly good interview with Ronan Farrow, in which he talks about NBC’s response to his book, how his sister Dylan serves as his conscience, and his engagement to Jon Lovett. 

–Carrie Preston shared the wrap gift she once got from Julia Roberts and it’s kind of lovely.

–Ryan Reynolds revealed that he and Blake Lively had another girl in a tweet encouraging Canadians to vote.

-As if  news of a Clueless reboot wasn’t upsetting enough, the description of it is insufferable.

-This is a great story about how a tweet got Ellen Page’s documentary into TIFF with just a month to spare.

-I’m really surprised that Taylor Swift hadn’t done a Tiny Desk Concert before now.

-When it comes to Fall TV’s broadcast debuts, Prodigal Son, Stumptown and The Unicorn are getting solid ratings, but it doesn’t look good for the other new shows, so I hope you haven’t been getting attached to Evil, Emergence, All Rise, Bluff City Law, Almost Family, Perfect Harmony or Sunnyside.

-I watched the Breaking Bad movie on a plane and cried. Like, actual tears. This deep-dive with Vince Gilligan into the making of it is worth your time.

–Freddie Prinze Jr.‘s f-bomby Star Wars rant is kind of delightful (and surprisingly educational).

-Critics have seen the first six episodes of HBO’s The Watchmen — premiering Sunday from Damon Lindelof of Lost and The Leftovers — and the reviews are glowing.

-Speaking of new shows, Paul Rudd‘s Netflix series Living With Yourself is getting good but not great reviews.

-Here’s a new trailer for A Marriage Story, starring Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson and hitting Netflix on Dec. 6.
