Rachel Lindsay Speaks Out About the Bachelor

Rachel Lindsay, the first black Bachelorette, officially ended her contract with Bachelor Nation in April, but now she’s sharing exactly what led to that choice. She delivered a powerful commentary in an essay for Vulture: “The (Bachelor) franchise has spent 19 years cultivating a toxic audience. They have constantly given it a product it wants: a midwestern/southern white, blonde, light-eyed Christian.” She added, “I’m no longer making myself available to The Bachelor universe. To the franchise, I am no longer a figurehead. I am no longer a spot-filler. I am no longer the face of what is diverse.”

-In Variety’s Actors on Actors interview, Elisabeth Moss and Gillian Anderson chatted about spending their 20s on a hit show.

John Boyega, Regé-Jean Page, Jonathan Majors, Josh O’Connor  and Chris Rock got together virtually for THR’s drama actor roundtable.

-HBO’s true crime series I’ll Be Gone In The Dark returns tonight with an update episode.

Megan Thee Stallion slammed DaBaby for collaborating with Tory Lanez. She tweeted, “support me in private and publicly do something different…these industry men are very strange. This situation ain’t no damn “beef” and I really wish people would stop down playing it like it’s some internet shit for likes and retweets.”

Lorde‘s new album is coming August 20.

Ariana Grande released an official live rendition of “pov” with Vevo on Monday.

-There will not be a fourth Before movie, says Julie Delpy. I didn’t even know that was a possibility.

Jimmy Fallon and Lin Manuel Miranda turned 14 iconic musicals into a cameo-packed song about every show they can’t wait to see when Broadway returns. Here’s some behind the scenes footage.

Nick Cannon is about to welcome his 7th child. He’s had 4 kids within 6 months from 3 different women.

-The new Ted Lasso trailer has arrived. It needs 80% more Roy, but I laughed really hard at “It’s like Dukes of Hazards. Or over here you probably call it Earls of Risk is very funny. Also, “Rom-Communism.”

Females Take a Backseat at the Grammys — Except for Blue Ivy

-The Grammys were last night and they were…weird. The red carpet was strangely subdued, the show’s best moments were from women but they were generally overlooked as the trophies were being handed out, and Kesha’s performance was transcendent but it highlighted just how much the music industry has ignored the Me Too movement. And then came the interview with Recording Academy president Neil Portnow who, when asked why there were so few female winners, had the gall to say that women have “to step up.” (Pink has already taken to Twitter to slam that comment.) He also said of the lack of Lorde performance: “There’s no way we can really deal with everybody.” Um, you had a Shaggy and Sting duet. But ok, then.

-The Grammys did, however, gift the world with this amazing GIF of Blue Ivy trying to get her parents to stop embarrassing her, and it was glorious. This photo of a bystander looking freaked out by being in Beyonce‘s presence is a close second.

Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx looked very couple-y at a Grammys pre-party.

Kate Winslet now says she has “bitter regrets” about working with Woody Allen.

-Oh god. Diane Keaton just took to Twitter to defend Woody.

-Oh god, squared. Julie Delpy reportedly implied that blackness is easier than womanhood. Nope, nope, nope.

-Former Charles In Charge star Nicole Eggert has accused Scott Baio of unspecified impropriety when she was a teenager. She tweeted “Ask @scottbaio what happened in his garage at his house when I was a minor. Creep” and then added “It started when I was 14. Wasn’t a one time deal.” He’s denied any wrongdoing.

-I keep forgetting that Kirsten Dunst is baking a baby Landry!

Oprah is rocking a Gucci coat for the cover of InStyle’s March issue.

-The fact that Busy Phillips spent a large portion of her weekend trying to recreate the karma’s a bitch meme makes me love her even more.

-I only watched 10 minutes of Stana Katic‘s new show and though it seems good, the water tank scene freaked me out too much to continue. While doing press for the show, she broke her silence about ABC’s terrible treatment of her when Castle ended (after eight years as the female lead she was let go from the show at the end of the season, only for it not to get renewed anyway a month later). “I’m actually still not clear on the thought process behind the way that it went down… It hurt and it was a harsh ending.”

-The CW announced its Charmed reboot and original star Holly Marie Combs is not here for itShannen Doherty was a bit more positive, but hated that they’re calling it a “feminist” reboot as if the original wasn’t. She’s got a point.

James Franco was photoshopped out of Vanity Fair’s Hollywood cover at the last minute.

-Mark your calendars: Game Of Thrones’ next season will premiere in April 2019.

-Wait, so Justin Timberlake has already released three singles from his upcoming album? How did I miss two of them?

-This article about Dawson’s Creek’s anniversary and how the show redefined teen romance by moving away from the unquestionable belief that women belonged to men.

Nicole Kidman‘s hidden talent is eating bugs (which isn’t really a hidden talent at all. I can eat bugs — and have. I can’t recite all the US presidents in order like Dakota Fanning. Or fence like Greta Gerwig. Vanity Fair is getting really lax with the criteria for this series…)

-This Matthew Broderick story is perfect.

Tom Cruise watching slow-motion video of his own ankle breaking is oddly compelling.

-Just when I thought that I couldn’t like Black Lightening any more comes news that Jill Scott is joining the show as a supervillain.

Will Smith on YouTube is making my life. He buys fancy equipment for it! He spends his trip to Australia looking for Hugh Jackman and Margot Robbie (who aren’t there)!

-Speaking of Hugh Jackman, I haven’t seen The Greatest Showman because I once had to write an essay on PT Barnum for school and that guy was problematic af, but this video of Hugh crying during the rehearsal of the show’s big number is pretty swelling.

Alicia Vikander and James McAvoy fall in love in the Submergence trailer.

-Here’s the trailer for Unsane, Steven Soderbergh’s new psychological thriller starring Claire Foy. I’m sufficiently intrigued and/or freaked out.

Gwyneth Paltrow somehow ended up having dinner with Arnold Schwarzenegger. No one seems more surprised than her.

John Krasinski and Anna Kendrick play an expectant couple in their new movie and I want it in my eyeballs right now!

-Also, John talking about his love of Emily Blunt will make you dissolve into a puddle and evaporate.

Michelle Williams is clearly the Sundance MVP this year. Between Manchester By The Sea (which everyone is RAVING about) and Certain Women, she’s a lock for award show chatter next season.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom still might be a thing.

Jon Hamm‘s name is misspelled on his Golden Globe. Not great, Bob!

Julie Delpy is clarifying her recent diversity statement that created so much controversy. Just stop talking, white actors.

Matthew Perry says he can’t remember three years of Friends because he was so “out of it.” (People of my generation call that “Tracy Gold-ing it”).

-Meanwhile, here’s the first photo from the (not really) Friends reunion, allowing us yet another opportunity to play ‘what the hell is Aniston wearing?!?’

Robert Downey Jr. just revealed that the Avengers gang has a group text going and I so want these to leak!

-Speaking of the Avengers, Mark Ruffalo lost his wallet and tweeted an adorable pic of the family who returned it.

Mariah Carey‘s engagement ring is beyond massive.

Chelsea Handler says her worst interview was Justin Bieber. Shocker.

-What do you do when a giant snowstorm cancels your fan convention? If you’re Stephen Amell and John Barrowman, you go to the hotel where most of your fans are stuck at and sing showtunes for them.

-Ok, so the first X Files episode was pretty bad (um, did they just throw out the entire series mythology? Really glad I did that rewatch, guys), but the ratings were solid. Tonight’s episode will be the real test — mostly because I don’t think they’ve done a good job of letting people know there’s a new one on tonight.

-I love this article on Dana Scully’s evolving fashion — and not just because it’s titled ‘Sisterhood of the Traveling Pantsuit.’

-It’s the dawning of the latest Batman v Superman trailer, which finally features Wonder Woman. Still not sold on this.
