Julia Fox Chronicles Date with Kanye West

-The Julia Fox/Kanye West thing go so weird so fast. She gave Interview magazine basically a “date diary” (with photos!) about her second date with him, in which he surprised her with a new wardrobe. (The article seems to have been pulled but you can still view the cached version.) They’ve only known each since New Year’s Eve and many others have pointed out that he reportedly tried to control Kim Kardashian‘s wardrobe, but a new interview with her seems to indicate that she’s aware people are worried she’s being love bombed.

-Also, it wasn’t until that interview that I saw she once accused her ex-husband and the father of her baby of “f*cking his aunt.” What is happening?!?

–Kate Bosworth is dating Justin Long after announcing her split from her husband in August. When I first read that I thought, “Oh cute, they’ve reunited.” But apparently, they didn’t date in the 90s and I just imagined that?!

–The Weeknd‘s new album dropped and everyone is wondering if the song “Here We Go…Again”, (which includes the line “My new girl, she a movie star”) is about Angelina Jolie.

-This is an excellent interview with Andrew Garfield (who, in this moment, seems to be more beloved than he’s ever been). He talks about his willingness to play Spider-Man again (there’s lots of spoilers about how what happens in the latest movie could pave the way, so click only if you’ve seen No Way Home).

-In another interview, he says he and fellow Spider Man alum Tobey Maguire snuck into a movie theatre together to watch No Way Home. I love that they have a little Spidey-based bromance!

–Adam Scott posted a pic in his Party Down costume for the revival and it makes me so happy (and yet also sad that his character still appears to be a cater waiter).

–Whoopi Goldberg, Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and more are paying tribute to Sidney Poitier, who died at 94.

-It looks like Mary Cosby has quit the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City reunion.

-Amazon’s The Boys will return June, and celebrated with a funny fake ad.

–Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello were spotted together in Miami, but maybe they were just coparenting their dog?

–Rooney Mara will play Audrey Hepburn in a new biopic.

-I’m always hesitant to put too much stock in early reactions to new films while the reviews are still embargoed, but man, everyone is losing their minds over the new Scream.

-Insecure’s Yvonne Orji plays a matchmaker for single parents in the trailer for My Mom, Your Dad.

–Denzel Washington says he doesn’t even remember clashing with Ellen Pompeo on the Grey’s Anatomy set, which is a delicious burn.

–Nicolas Cage and his wife are expecting a baby.

-No disrespect to West Side Story’s Ariana Debose but she’s not even the lead of that movie and yet she’s hosting SNL next weekend. This seems to be more about Omnicron than her, but yay for Broadway fans.

-Yikes. Production on Star Trek: Picard has been shut down since Monday after more than 50 people(!) tested positive for covid.

–Jessica Chastain was on Ellen’s show and told a story about the time she threw a party and her grandmother sat on Bradley Cooper’s lap. “He looked horrified, actually. He had never met her. He didn’t know who she was. I saw it kinda happening in slow motion where I was like, ‘No!’ I just started going, ‘It’s my grandma! It’s my grandma!’ Then he was like, ‘Okay. Hi, Grandma.”

-I really liked this article on all the literary allusions and alliterations in The Lost Daughter.

–Jason Bateman and Laura Linney fight personal demons in the season 4 trailer of Ozark.

–Tom Holland says he once pitched Sony on an origin film in which he plays a young James Bond. “It didn’t really make sense. It didn’t work. It was the dream of a young kid, and I don’t think the Bond estate were particularly interested.”

-Sopranos star Michael Imperioli will lead season two of The White Lotus.

–Joyce Carol Oates is always a wild follow on Twitter, but yesterday was even more wild than usual.

–Britney Spears is back to posting nudes on Instagram and we all have to be ok with it because she’s allowed to do whatever the hell she wants. (Her earlier post about how excited she was to go to a restaurant and how she hadn’t had a glass of wine in 13 years kind of broke my heart.)

-Search Party returns tomorrow for its final season and I can’t wait.

-There was a fascinating Vulture article in the fall about how someone in the book industry kept stealing manuscripts, and no one knew who it was. They finally found him! The FBI arrested a young rights coordinator at a major publisher.

–Janet Jackson reflects on stardom and scrutiny in the trailer for her new doc.

–John Cusack stars in the Pursuit trailer. I can’t believe Emile Hirsch is still allowed to be cast in things…

Hoyeon Jung Lands Vogue

Hoyeon Jung on Vogue's February cover

-Squid Game’s Hoyeon Jung is on Vogue’s February cover. She talks of how a lull in her modelling career led her to acting (“Getting farther away from other people’s gaze let me find what I wanted again and gave me time to study it. What’s important in life is not when your career is up, but when your career is down and how you spend that time. That’s something I learned”), the weightloss-inducing stress of becoming absurdly famous in the span of just a few days (“I don’t know why, but I couldn’t eat. I was so confused, and it was so chaotic. I didn’t believe it. I didn’t trust it”) and her future plans (“I have always wanted to go to Hollywood and to act in America, and I still do. But Squid Game changed my mindset. It doesn’t have to be an American movie or a European movie, it’s the story and the message that are more important”).

-In THR’s Actor Roundtable, Nicolas Cage, Peter Dinklage, Andrew Garfield, Jonathan Majors and Simon Rex share their fears about showing vulnerability, their sense of responsibility when wielding guns on sets, and their thoughts on the future of theatres. There’s also a hilarious exchange when Cage talks about filming with a horse called Rain Man that tried to kill him, and Majors says he’s also rode that horse. “I think I may have been older when I got him.” “I just wrapped three weeks ago!”

–Shonda Rhimes is on the latest cover of Time magazine. “I think the girlboss archetype is bullsh-t that men have created to find another way to make women sound bad.”

–Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette talk about returning to the Scream franchise in this new NYT interview. Said Arquette of the new film, “There were moments when I felt Wes’s spirit around a lot. There would be a wind blowing and I’d see Courteney’s hair move back. And then it’s just like” — he made an exaggeratedly mournful weeping noise. “It made it really easy to tap into those feelings.”
