-I watched the first couple episodes of the new season of Stranger Things yesterday and was blown away by the girl who plays Robyn. So I looked her up and she’s the daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethane Hawke. Yeah, that tracks.

–Kevin Spacey‘s accuser abruptly dropped his assault and battery lawsuit. The actor is still facing criminal charges as the result of the accusation.

-This is a really good piece on YA authors and cancel culture, and how it exposes the need for the publishing industry to be overhauled.

-I love how normal Meghan Markle’s friends look, which shouldn’t seem like a big deal but it is.

-Amid growing speculation about who will be Archie‘s godparents, Meghan‘s BFF Jessica Mulroney posted (and quickly deleted) an Instagram message that said: ‘Don’t take criticism from anyone you wouldn’t go to for advice’. Which probably isn’t connected at all, but the UK media is running with it.

–Victoria Beckham defended her decision not to join the Spice Girls tour: “It took me a lot of courage not to go on tour with the Spice Girls again, but to be the one who says, ‘You know, I’m not doing it because things feel different now than they used to.’ I’d rather concentrate on my family and my company.”

Kiernan Shipka Casts a Spell

es-magazine-Kiernan-Shipka

-The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina drops Friday on Netflix, and I appreciate all the looks Kiernan Shipka is serving up on the promo tour.  Her premiere dress was appropriately witchy, and she’s very cute on the cover of ES Magazine.

-I’m not quite sure why Sarah Silverman felt the need to tell everyone that Louis C.K. masturbated in front of her with consent when they were kids. I think she’s trying to explain that because he grew up thinking that kind of behavior was accepted, he didn’t understand why it wasn’t when he became famous.  (“I’m just saying at a certain point, when he became influential, not even famous, but influential in the world of comedy, it changes. He felt like he was the same person, but the dynamic was different and it was not okay.”) But it was never ok. On the plus side, at least she doesn’t seem down with his sweep-it-under-the-rug comeback. “I’m not saying everyone should embrace Louis again. I believe he has remorse. I just want him to talk about it on stage.”

-The plot thickens in the feud between Cardi B and makeup artist Blacswan.

-On the Today Show, Nicole Kidman clarified her comments from last week about how being married to Tom Cruise protected her from sexual harassment. “Because I was married at 23 years old, I wasn’t going to parties or I wasn’t going out a lot. I had my first child at 25 and I was in a family. So my sense of being in the world was — I was working, or I was at home.”

–Drake reportedly wanted to have kids with Rihanna. I mean, who doesn’t?

-Good on Liam Payne for calling out a tabloid story on the “mystery woman” he was photographed with: “My team is full of talented, smart professional women. I find it wrong that they are reduced to being linked to me romantically in the press just for simply standing next to me.”

–Chris Hemsworth and his brother picked up a hitchhiker and took him where he needed to go — on a helicopter.

-Halloween starring Jamie Lee Curtis broke a whole bunch of records at the box office this weekend,  including biggest horror movie opening with a female lead, and biggest movie opening with a female lead over 55. Horror is definitely not my thing, but all this talk about how badass Judy Greer is in the final scene has me curious.

-Congrats to Amy Schumer, who’s expecting her first child with hubby Chris Fischer.

–Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson reportedly hadn’t started any wedding planning yet, so that has to make things slightly less terrible for them.

-Meanwhile, Davidson incorporated the split into an awkward standup set: “I’ve been covering a bunch of tattoos, that’s fun. I’m f–king 0-for-2 in the tattoo department. Yeah, I’m afraid to get my mom tattooed on me because she’d leave.”

–Jill Soloway and Hannah Gadsby are reportedly dating and I love this so much!

-Nashville costars Chris Carmack and Erin Slaver got married over the weekend.

-I don’t typically watch Doctor Who but I might catch up on last night’s episode about Rosa Parks because everyone is gushing over it. It was the first episode in the show’s 55-year history written by a person of colour.

–Cate Blanchett is getting a lot of flak for defending straight actors playing gay characters. While I think she should have acknowledged the privilege she has to take her pick from a vast number of roles that non-straight, non-white actors would never even be considered for (and the value of those who can bring lived experience to a role) I also think she’s been a bit misquoted. She actually said, “I will fight to the death for the right to suspend disbelief and play roles beyond my experience.” Which is…acting.

–Selma Blair revealed her MS diagnosis and got a lot of support from fellow celebs.

–Will Smith appeared on Jada Pinkett Smith‘s Facebook talk show, where he get candid about a rough time in their marriage: “Jada’s an actress, she had two babies, she had to be home raising her babies while I got to do everything I wanted to do. She was sacrificing herself to fit my picture. I felt that money and winning made a good relationship. You [Jada] were trapped in a life that you didn’t build and you didn’t want.”

-Wonder Woman 2 has been pushed back to June 5, 2020 (it was originally set to open Nov 1, 2019).

–Jerry Seinfeld, Tony Hale, Tina Fey, Kumail Nanjiani, Keegan Michael-Key, Lisa Kudrow, Bryan Cranston and Stephen Colbert were among the celebs who honoured/roasted Julia Louis Dreyfess as she accepted the Mark Twain Prize.

-Every time Dave Grohl invites a kid on stage it makes my heart sing.

-Here’s the latest trailer for Julia Roberts‘ Amazon show Homecoming, which I just realized costars Lip from Shameless AND Ray from Girls.  The reviews are pretty glowing.

Captain America: Civil War – Are You #TeamIronMan or #TeamCap?

-Here’s the final Captain America: Civil War trailer. I kind of feel like I’m going to be siding with Tony Stark over Captain America, and that’s a *weird* feeling for me. Also: hey, Spidey!

-Meanwhile, Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr, Sebastian Stan, Chadwick Boseman and The Russo Brothers participated in a very fun Tumblr Q&A today.

-Vox’s chart explaining the extended Kardashian universe is very helpful. (Sidenote: I almost tried on a very adorable dress last night, until I realized it was from Kendall and Kylie’s label. Hard pass.)

–Sarah Michelle Gellar celebrated the 19th anniversary of Buffy’s premiere with a very sweet post.

–Ryan Gosling is still a perfect human being, just in case you were starting to have doubts.

-How great do Zendaya, Willow Smith and Kiernan Shipka look on the cover of W? Slay, girls!

–Gwen Stefani talked about her divorce, saying Blake Shelton went through “literally the exact same thing.” Oh, so Miranda slept with a nanny too?

-Speaking of the love lives of Voice coaches (damn, that’s a depressing sentence), Adam Levine is going to be a daddy.

–Ryan Reynolds & Blake Lively will attend tonight’s Justin Trudeau state dinner so I’m anticipating a lot of hazy Instagram filters will be used.

–Ashton Kutcher gets shirtless and swears a lot in the first trailer for The Ranch, the Netflix comedy he stars in with That 70s Show costar Danny Masterson. Holy crap, is that a laugh track?!

-The Britney Spears I saw in Vegas in May 2014 is clearly not the same one performing today.

–Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck still haven’t filed for divorce, and everyone’s wondering why because they’re clearly not remember BvS’ upcoming release. Come on, guys. Be better at this.

–James Corden forced Will Arnett to explain a picture of him high-fiving Donald Trump. Fair.

-Here’s the first trailer for Andy Samberg‘s movie Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping! It had me as soon as I saw Joan Cusack as his coke snorting mom and Snoop as his dad.
