-Oh boy. Armie Hammer’s finsta has leaked. He’s really, really bad at this.  Has he had zero media training? It’s like he didn’t even try to cover his tracks.

–Bella Thorne, of all people, has come to Hammer’s defense.

–Tom Cruise is now outsourcing his onset covid safety rants to robots.

-On THR’s podcast, Ben Affleck reflected on his relationship with Jennifer Lopez (“People were so fucking mean about her — sexist, racist. Ugly, vicious shit was written about her in ways that if you wrote it now you would literally be fired for saying those things you said”) and how it affected his career (“I was actually in the very worst position you can be in in this business, which is you can sell magazines but not movie tickets”).

–Kate Winslet explains why her husband changed his name back from Ned Rocknroll to something less insane.

–Kate also told a sweet story about her Sense and Sensibility costar Alan Rickman: “Whenever Al would go out to supper and anyone else would try and pay, he would somehow have phoned ahead or slipped his credit card ahead of the meal so no one even got a look at the check. He’d just say, ‘I’ve got two words for you: Harry Potter.’ And he became known for doing that.”

–Betty White turns 99 this weekend. She can never leave us.

–Kelly Clarkson thanked Jennifer Love Hewitt for being nice to her at an award show during her American Idol years — because most celebs weren’t. “You ran up to me right when [I was in the] final three of Idol…People were really mean to us, because we’re from a talent show, and it was the first season. Everyone was so rude to us on the carpet, at the show. It was so bad. It was a horrible experience. You came up to me, ran up to me out of nowhere, and said ‘Oh my gosh, I’m really rooting for you.'”

-The cast and creator of FXX’s You’re the Worst are reuniting for a fundraiser to benefit Feeding America. I basically started watching The Boys based solely on Aya Cash‘s participation, so I’m in.

–John David Washington, 36, addressed the criticism over the age gap between him and Malcom & Marie co-star Zendaya, 24. “I wasn’t concerned about it because she is a woman, Washington responded. “People are going to see in this film how much of a woman she is.”

Miley Cyrus’ Naked Truth

-This was a good interview with Miley Cyrus, which is getting buried by the attention surrounding the trashy cover.

-Black Panther star Letitia Wright defended her decision to share a video questioning the use of vaccines after facing backlash from her followers and celebs like Don Cheadle and Roxane Gay. Look, I get why people (especially Black and indigenous people) don’t trust the medical industry because there is some horrific history there. But if you have a huge platform, this YouTube guy isn’t the one to promote. I at least appreciated that Wright was trying to understand why people were so upset, but yikes.

-There was another HUGE return on Grey’s Anatomy last night. (Don’t click if you don’t want to be spoiled). I wonder if Katherine Heigl or Sandra Oh is next?

-Critics are saying David Fincher’s new movie Mank is a finely-tuned Netflix drama about the co-writer of Citizen Kane is about the power of movies.

-Why does TikTok hate Matthew Morrison so much? And why do I find it so hilarious?

-Here’s the second Ammonite trailer starring Kate Winslet getting loved up by Saoirse Ronan.

I can’t turn back the clock. I’m grappling with those regrets but what do we have if we aren’t able to just be fucking truthful about all of it?” Well, that’s one way to kick off an awards campaign!

-I guess those reports of Trevor Noah and Minka Kelly dating were legit.

-Congrats to Leighton Meester and Adam Brody, who welcomed a new baby boy.

–Lindsay Lohan is being sued for promising to write a book and taking the advance — and then not writing the book.

-Hollywood is remaking She’s All That and they’ve cast TikTok star Addison Rae. Sigh.

–Jennifer Garner had the best response when a fan commented to ask whether she’s pregnant with her fourth child: “I am 48, have three healthy kids and I am not — and never will be — pregnant. Can we lay that pupper to rest. Have I gained the covid 19? Possibly. But that is another story.”
