–Felicity Huffman is out of jail early after serving 11 days of her 2-week sentence. (Apparently it’s normal policy for inmates who are set to be released on weekends to get out on the Friday instead.)
-Oh god. Drake and Kylie Jenner were apparently spotted flirting. There’s not enough vodka in the world for me to process this.
-Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian says their 6-six-year daughter is being “heavily blocked” from wearing makeup by Kanye. I never say this, but I agree with Kanye.
-CW just ordered full season pickups for Batwoman and Nancy Drew. I tried one episode of ND and it was too Riverdale-y for me, but good for them.
-No one has ever looked happier about being arrested than Ted Danson.
-Will & Grace is wrapping up, but Megan Mullally is reportedly set to miss multiple episodes, giving more weight to those rumours of a feud with Debra Messing.
-This New Yorker profile of Adam Driver is great — especially the part where he encounters the phrase “toxic masculinity” for seemingly the first time.
-A judge refused to remove Brad Pittfrom the lawsuit over Hurricane Katrina victims’ deteriorating homes.
-I love both Keri Russell and Jesse Plemons but I will never, ever be able to make it through Antlers based on this trailer.
-Hey, I kickstarted this movie! Do I get a free screening? A poster? I’ve kickstarted so many pop culture things, I’ll take a bucket of half-eaten popcorn at this point.
–Taylor Swift‘s mom secretly gave Jimmy Fallon video she’d recorded of the singer high on pain medsfollowing her lasik surgery, which he aired on the show. “I’m not asleep my mind is alive” is a future lyric.
–Prince Harry is still at it — he’s reportedly sued the Sun and Mirror for phone hacking.
–Kylie Jennerconfirmed her split from Travis Scott and wants fans to know that the”2am date with Tyga” was not what we think it was.
–Rihanna discussed marriage and love in a candid new chat with her Ocean’s 8 co-star Sarah Paulson for Interview magazine. She talked about carving time out of her schedule for boyfriend of two years Hassan Jameel (“I got into a new relationship, and it matters to me. It was like, ‘I need to make time for this.’ Just like I nurture my businesses, I need to nurture this as well. I’ll shut things down for two days, three days at a time. On my calendar we now have the infamous ‘P,’ which means personal days. This is a new thing”), and said she wants to be a mother “More than anything in life.” (My fave part about the interview is when Paulson starts serenading her and Rihanna says “I’m going to tell you this because I’m a black girl: You’re going to have to stay on beat, okay?”)
-Vanity Fair wrote an article speculating who Ellen Pompeo may have been referring to when she talked about “toxic behavior” on the set of Grey’s Anatomy for the first 10 seasons — and Isaiah Washington read it and snapped. He tweeted “Vanity Fair needs to keep my name out of this. You gone be dirty? Why don’t you ask Ellen Pompeo how she was paid ‘hush money’ to protect Patrick Dempsey and HIS ‘toxic behavior’.” 👀
–Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger are officially married. They shared identical postsabout it on Instagram (each with a line about how they’re “grateful to Mr. Giorgio Armani” for outfitting them which is…uh…something. Did their sponcon agreement specific a sentence or do they just not know how to tag?)
-I’m very ok with The Good Place announcing that season four will be its last.
–Cuba Gooding Jr. has been accused of grabbing a women’s breasts in a NYC club and could potentially be arrested.
-This is horrible: A year after Pauley Perrette exited NCIS following 15 seasons on the show, she took to Twitter to beg fans to stop asking her to return — because she says she’s afraid of being in the presence of lead actor Mark Harmon. She posted “I am terrified of Harmon and him attacking me. I have nightmares about it. I have a new show that is SAFE AND HAPPY!” and then a separate tweetof two graphic photos of an NCIS crew member with stitches around his eyes.
-I love that The Other Two and Barry are on this list of the best TV so far in 2019. I’d add Better Things, too.
-This video compilationof Gwyneth Paltrow being clueless about what’s going on in the MCU movies she stars in is great. Just cash those Marvel checks, girl.
-I gave up on The 100 after season 2 but a lot of my Twitter mutuals still watch it and ship Bellarke (which seems really hard because I don’t think they’ve progressed past a hug in the last five seasons). So it was nice to see their total bliss meltdown when the actors — who no one even knew were dating — announced that they eloped last month.
–Celine Dion stopping her set until a guy came back from the bathroom so he wouldn’t miss anything is very on brand and wonderful.
-This is a good breakdownof what happened to X-Men’s Dark Phoenix, which bombed at the weekend box office and could lose $100M. Insiders told The Hollywood Reporter that after the disaster that was Apocalypse, execs came away thinking that the movie’s failure had been due to an excessive amount of explosions and scale, not due to franchise fatigue generally. “We were wrong.” Then the release date was moved to June to placate James Cameron, Fox’s most important filmmaker, so not to conflict with Alita: Battle Angel. And Dark Phoenix’s muddled marketing campaign didn’t help. “When definite awareness of Rocketman is higher than an X-Men movie, you know you’re in strange territory.”
–Laura Linney and Audra McDonald had some funny “beef” at last night’s Tonys.
–DJ Khaled‘s energy drink bundles might have cost him a #1 album, and now he’s reportedly planning to sue Billboard over it.
