Ryan Reynolds Rehabs Peleton

–Ryan Reynolds and his ad agency pulled together that Peleton ad in response to And Just Like That in only 48 hours. Reynolds did a quick Aviation Gin ad when that cringey holiday Peloton commercial went viral a couple years ago, so it makes sense that they would come to him for some instant brand rehabilitation. (Don’t watch if you’re not caught up with the Sex and the City revival, obvs.)

–Tom Holland and Zendaya are super cute here, talking about how they can’t be in the kitchen at the same time because her cooking style is haphazard, while he likes to precisely follow recipes.

–Britney Spears posted a bunch of screengrabs of her notes app which contained basically stream of conscious thoughts about hot chocolate and Christmas shopping, but she did make some pointed comments about her infamous 2003 interview with Diane Sawyer.

-I’m not sure what the baby bar exam is, but Kim Kardashian says she passed it.

-God, that Succession finale was so good. I kept thinking about how Kieran Culkin said he and Jeremy Strong disagree about whether the show is a comedy or a drama, and how that scene in the parking lot perfectly embodied that.

-Meanwhile, Jeremy Strong‘s celeb friends keep rushing to “defend” him over that completely innocuous magazine profile. Aaron Sorkin, Adam Mckay and Anne Hathaway weighed in over the weekend, which inadvertently kept it in the news cycle. Are stars really so far removed from the profiles of 10-20 years ago that they think any article that isn’t incredibly fawning is a hit piece? That New Yorker profile did more to humanize Strong than any other interview I’ve read with him. Does everyone in Hollywood forget when celebs weren’t media trained within an inch of their lives, and profiles weren’t just PR fluff pieces? They should all revisit Jennifer Lopez’s 1998 Movieline interview (in which she slams Gwyneth Paltrow, Cameron Diaz, and more) to remember how these things used to go.

-Everyone’s guessing Adam Mckay and Will Ferrell for this blind item, which seems crazy.

-Any movie that isn’t a superhero flick seems to be struggling at the box office (and we are, after all, still in a pandemic) but West Side Story’s returns were bad enough to surprise people.

–Olivia Colman inadvertently mocked Jack Whitehall’s acting when they both appeared on the Graham Norton Show. God, I love her.

–Keanu Reeves also appeared on that episode of GNS — and forgot the name of the movie he was promoting.

-Meanwhile, Keanu Reeves and his Bill & Ted costar Alex Winter has a double date this weekend.

–Armie Hammer’s lawyer told People: “I can confirm that Mr. Hammer has left the treatment facility and is doing great.”

-The Ben Affleck/Ana de Armas erotic thriller Deep Water is being released after all. It’s coming to Hulu in the US and Amazon Prime elsewhere. Does this mean they get to skip the awkward press tour?

-I missed this video of Adele doing a makeup tutorial with NikkieTutorials. I love this as a promo tour stop!

–Elon Musk was named TIME’s ‘Person of the Year’ and nobody is happy about it.

–Drake and Kanye West put their beef aside to forces for a much-anticipated benefit concert in Los Angeles last week — and everyone was talking about how Ye outshined Drake.

-It’s interesting to see Station Eleven make some Best of 2021 TV lists, seeing as it just debuts this week.

-I watched The Hating Game this weekend and was pleasantly surprised, given the buildup I had in my head. And the reviews are good!

–Susan Sarandon is the queen of country music in the trailer for Fox’s Monarch.

-The gang returns to Hogwarts in the first full trailer for Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore.

Olivia Wilde Talks Harry Styles in Vogue

 

olivia wilde vogue

–Olivia Wilde is on the cover of Vogue to promote … well, I don’t know what she’s promoting, but she vaguely references her relationship with Harry Styles. “It’s obviously really tempting to correct a false narrative. But I think what you realize is that when you’re really happy, it doesn’t matter what strangers think about you. All that matters to you is what’s real, and what you love, and who you love.”

–Madonna‘s daughter Lourdes Leon is on the cover of Paper.

–Miley Cyrus and Pete Davidson revealed they got matching tattoos after doing an SNL episode together in 2017.

-HBO is in initial talks to reboot Six Feet Under. That show has what is universally acknowledged to be one of the best series finales ever; why risk tainting that legacy?

–Tom Holland started a WhatsApp group chat with fellow Spider-Men Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. Gee, I wonder on which set they became friends??

-This story is SO WEIRD: police bodycam video recorded on Jan. 4, 2021, shows Kanye West’s publicist telling a Georgia election worker who Trump falsely accused of manipulating votes that she was in imminent danger. The publicist, Trevian Kutti, who’s a Trump supporter, urged the election worker to confess to fraud and seemed to threaten her and her family.

–Florence Pugh claimed on her Instagram Story that she had been blocked from posting about her appearance on a Marvel show, which is weird. Is Disney controlling Instagram?

-Ghosts feels like the only network hit to come out of the fall shows. They’ve released bloopers from the first season.

-Peloton had to put out a statement after their product was featured in a shocking plot twist in the Sex and the City reboot. IYKYK.

-I think releasing just two eps of the reboot was a mistake because the first couple are so dour, depressing, and trying too hard to fix past representation mistakes (my friend and I literally fast-forwarded every scene with Miranda and her prof because it was too cringe), but according to critics the next two episodes are more in line with the tone of the original series.

–Mike Flanagan’s next Netflix series just added 20 new cast members, including Midnight Mass’ Samantha Sloyan and Rahul Kohli.

-Cowboy Bebop had so much hype before it debuted, but Netflix has already canceled the anime adaptation after one season.

–Jussie Smollett has been convicted on charges he staged a hate crime against himself in 2019 and then lied to police about it.

-Here’s the trailer for HBO’s Lakers show (aka the reason that Will Ferrell and Adam McKay are no longer friends).

–Kristen Bell stars in a satirical series that takes aim at psychological thrillers in the awkwardly (but hilariously) titled The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window.

Andrew Garfield Gets a Cobra Kai Surprise

-Earlier this year, Andrew Garfield revealed he’s a huge Cobra Kai fan — so the stars sent him a video message. His obvious delight at this is adorable. “It feels like Christmas in my body…Life can be ok sometimes. Life can be really nice.”

–Jimmy Kimmel posted a photo with singed hair on Instagram, saying he’d burned his ‘hair and eyebrow off’ while ‘lighting the oven’ for Thanksgiving dinner.

–Kanye West made a surprise appearance at Los Angeles Mission’s Annual Thanksgiving event and he said…some things. “The narrative God wants is to see that we can be redeemed in all these relationships. We’ve made mistakes. I’ve made mistakes. I’ve publicly done things that were not acceptable as a husband, but right now today, for whatever reason — I didn’t know I was going to be in front of this mic — but I’m here to change the narrative…I’m doing everything to be right next to the situation… I’m trying to express this in the most sane way, the most calm way possible, but I need to be back home.”

–Dave Chapelle tried to pull his shit on a bunch of high schoolers, and they weren’t having it. “I’m 16 and I think you’re childish, you handled it like a child.”

-Prince William and Kate Middleton are working on a Christmas carol concert broadcast fundraiser, and they’ve changed the broadcaster from BBC to ITV — likely because BBC just aired an unflattering doc about their involvement with the tabloids.

–Jared Leto continues to be subtle and demure in interviews. Talking about his prep for House of Gucci, he said “I did it all. I was snorting lines of arrabbiata sauce by the middle of this movie. I had olive oil for blood. This was a deep dive I did. If you took a biopsy of my skin, it would come back as parmesan cheese! This is my love letter to Italy.” (Judging by the reviews of his performance in particular, Italy might be marking that ‘return to sender’.)

–David Beckham taught his daughter how to boil an egg. I would definitely cook more if he was around to kiss me on the forehead after every successful attempt…

-This is how Samantha Jones is being written out of the Sex and the City reboot. It leaves the door wide open for a cameo, but Kim Cattrall will never walk through it.

–Casey Affleck, 46, and is dating 23-year-old actress Caylee Cowan. Sound about right.

–Van Hunt wrote an article about his girlfriend Halle Berry, and it’s very sweet if you can ignore the lack of capitalization. “no one ever discusses this tenacity when describing her. they speak of beauty and favorite movies, but never of heart. it is nigh impossible to peer inside Halle without noticing her heart; and the principles that make it thump.”

-Spice Girl Geri Halliwell is mourning the unexpected loss of her brother, who passed away suddenly at age 54.

–Elliot Page and Awkwafina are friends and I love that for them.

-Here’s the final season trailer for This Is Us.
