Tom Holland and Zendaya’s Height Difference

Tom Holland and Zendaya continue to be adorable together on the Spider-Man promo tour. They appeared together on the Graham Norton Show and talked about the difficulty of joint stunts due to their height difference.

-Meanwhile, Tom Holland says he’ll play Fred Astaire in a film, which sounds like perfect casting.

-After receiving two nominations for the 2022 Grammy Awards, Drake has withdrawn his nominations, and now are not visible on his artist page on the Grammys’ website. No one is really sure why, but he spoke out about The Weeknd’s snub last year.

-NY magazine’s profile on Succession star Jeremy Strong is an interesting read — mostly because everyone who’s quoted sounds like they don’t like him very much, which is unusual in a big profile like this. Usually you get some non-critical words from costars, even if it’s just about their talent or dedication if they don’t want to get into their personality. But it sounds like everyone thinks he’s a miserable presence on and off set. Is that why he’s so good in this role — because he’s just playing a version of himself?

-Meanwhile, I can’t quite believe that the ending of last night’s Succession is to believed, but if that turns out to be true, it’s gonna be a WILD finale this weekend.

-In his new GQ profile, Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus talks about accidentally revealing his cancer diagnosis on social media, renewing his faith, healing his old friendships, and being reminded of what makes life worth living.

-Um, is Ariana Grande’s new look cultural appropriation?

-In a new Vulture essay, Colton Haynes says that before he came to Hollywood, he was confidently queer, but years of mixed messages in the industry changed that.

Grimes wrote a breakup song about Elon Musk.

-For Vanity Fair, Mo Ryan talked at length with Jeff Garlin about his HR investigations on The Goldbergs, and power imbalances. It’s rare to have a celeb be confronted with these types of questions and not walk away (though there were times he clearly wanted to), but I don’t love how often he dismissed the allegations as “my silliness” or “my process.”

-This is a very good piece questioning why Hollywood is still hiring raging anti-Semite Mel Gibson?

Chris Noth weighed in on Kim Cattrall’s rumoured feud with Sarah Jessica Parker — and it sounds like he’s on Team Parker. “I do know that I’m very close with SJ and [Cattrall’s] descriptions of her don’t even come close. I liked her, I thought she was marvelous in the show and some people move on for their own reasons. I don’t know what hers were. I just wish that whole thing had never happened because it was sad and uncomfortable…I just don’t like to see anyone talking down about SJ because she’s a target and people can be nasty. I feel very protective of her and I was not happy about that.”

-Its xmas pop song time: Ed Sheeran and Elton John released a new festive track and video, while John Legend unveiled his new holiday single.

Gillian Anderson Talks Taking Risks

Gillian Anderson, Nicola Coughlan and Alia Shawkat are just a few of the TV stars featured in Vanity Fair’s latest issue. All of the portraits are great, but Hugh Grant‘s is especially stunning. That man is aging like a fine wine.

-The BBC has apologized for its “deceitful” Princess Diana tell-all interview conducted by Martin Bashir in 1995 (considered a definitive bombshell for the royal family). Bashir is said to have shown fake bank statements to Diana’s brother Charles Spencer that suggested the palace staff were working against Diana and being paid to spy on her. This “deceived and induced [her brother] to arrange a meeting with Princess Diana.”

Prince Harry responded to the news, saying, “What deeply concerns me is that practices like these — and even worse — are still widespread today. Then, and now, it’s bigger than one outlet, one network, or one publication. Our mother lost her life because of this, and nothing has changed.”

-In lighter royal news, Prince William showed off a surprisingly buff arm when getting his first shot.

Angelina Jolie posed for a photo while covered with bees to raise awareness for conservation efforts.

-Did y’all know that Dermot Mulroney plays cello and has worked on movie scores, including Rogue One, Mission Impossible, Inside Out and Star Trek: Into the Darkness?

-Netflix released some Shadow & Bone bloopers.

-I also really liked this interview with Shadow and Bone author Leigh Bardugo. “Teenage girls have so much sway over culture, yet people sneer at the things that women and girls love, and are contemptuous of the creators of that content, particularly if they are women. To me, that contempt speaks to a deep fear. When you start dictating culture, money gets involved and people take notice. When I see someone deride things that women and girls find pleasure in, all I see is someone fearful that women will overtake the culture they’ve had dominion over for so long.”

KJ Apa is going to be a dad. The Riverdale star revealed on Instagram that he is expecting his first child with model Clara Berry.

This thread captures what various crew members of Person of Interest have said about working with Jim Caviezel, and it’s intense. He reportedly resisted shooting a scene in which his character saves a gay couple, and the stunt crew wouldn’t let him around sharp objects.

-Good news: Crave is going to air the Friends reunion here in Canada.

-A British reporter interviewed Ted Lasso cast members outside soccer match without realizing who they were. Delightful!

-In his Rolling Stone cover story, BTS’ V talks about his upcoming mixtape and his love of The Godfather. I just finished a book where the author thanked BTS in the acknowledgements, so I guess I’m officially the last one to join the Army.

Kate Hudson will also be in Knives Out 2. At this point, it might be easier to list who’s NOT been cast in this thing.

Chris Pratt‘s band From Parks and Recreation is releasing an album. Mouse Rat!

-People made fun of how old Ben Platt looks in the trailer for Dear Evan Hansen (where he’s playing a high schooler), and he called out “randos beings jerks about age.”

Kevin Feige now says it was a mistake to cast Tilda Swinton as The Ancient One in Doctor Strange, since she’s a white woman.

-Here’s the trailer for Only Murders In The Building, a new Hulu comedy starring Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez.

-I adore Elle’s new cover with Jodie Turner-Smith. In the interview, she talks about giving birth to her daughter: “Patriarchal society really is out here, scamming women into thinking that they’re not supremely powerful beings. Because damn, it’s some goddess-level shit.”

-What’s up with all the gossip about Kanye West with makeup influencers? First we had outlandish rumours surrounding Jeffree Star, and now TikTok makeup guru Cole Carrigan claimed West’s bodyguard instructed him to meet the rapper at a W Hotel late at night — but then he retracted it. That’s one way to get publicity, I guess.

Rob Lowe says he lives in Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s neighborhood, and swears he’s seen Harry with a ponytail. Pics or it didn’t happen.

-Meanwhile, William and Kate reportedly ignored the Scottish government’s warnings to stay at home.

Lana Del Rey‘s disastrous album promo tour continues. She says that this clip of her talking about how Trump didn’t mean to incite a riot was taken out of context.

Chuck Norris‘ rep insists it was a lookalike and not him who attended the Capitol insurrection after images trended on Twitter.

-Are Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles already in the sharing jewelry stage of their relationship?

-Most movie theatres are closed and production is in flux, but streaming services have stockpiled content. Netflix released a new star-studded promo for its massive 2021 movie slate, which promises new movies every week of the year. We get glimpses of some of their most anticipated offerings, including Amy Adams‘ The Woman In The Window, Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer‘s superhero comedy Thunder Force, and Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio‘s Don’t Look Up.

-Marvel also seems to be in good shape, despite the current climate. Kevin Feige just made a lot of announcements about what’s on their slate, including that Deadpool 3 will remain R rated despite now being a Disney property.

Brad Pitt relaxes in the sun in the first ad campaign for his Miraval rosé (which is surprisingly tasty).
