Nicole Kidman Reflects on Family and Fame

Nicole Kidman Tatler Bombshell

Nicole Kidman is kicking off the Bombshell promo tour with her Tatler cover story, in which she talks about the death of her father (“My three-year-old said, ‘But you’re not going to be sad like this tomorrow, are you?’ That’s when you realize, y’know, you have to be OK. Because they need to know that they’re safe, that their mother isn’’t going to fall apart. Inside? I was beyond shattered. But I had to rally”).

Johnny Depp is producing an unauthorized musical about Michael Jackson that is narrated by a talking glove. I hate all of those words.

-In a nice change of pace, Tom Hanks read some nice tweets.

Sia went to Walmart and TJ Maxx yesterday and paid everyone’s bills, telling people her name was Cici and she’d recently won the lottery.

John Boyega remains a delight.

Seth Meyers had his parents and brother on the show and they seem wonderfully well-adjusted and normal.

Beck has distanced himself from Scientology, saying “My father has been a Scientologist for a long time. But I’ve pretty much just focused on my music and my work for most of my life, and tended to do my own thing.” Leah Remini, however, is not buying it: “You can’t be married to a Scientology family such as the Ribisi family and not be fully on board. To say that he was more focused on his thing and the press just ran with it is a p**sy move. This is his way of not publicly stating that he was very much in and now he’s not.”

Sandra Bullock was at Jennifer Aniston’s Friendsgiving, as was Courteney Cox, Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Justin Theroux.

Chrissy Teigen turned John Legend’s ‘Sexiest Man’ People cover into pajamas for everyone to wear at Thanksgiving and I think I’m in love with her.

Dakota Johnson continues to be the most awkward person ever in interviews.

-Here’s video of Jennifer Garner losing her poo when Julie Andrews called her.

-French director Luc Besson could be hit with a 10-month suspended prison sentence — and not for the reasons you’d think. He allegedly fired his assistant illegally when she was on medical leave.

-It’s been a rough week in K-pop. Jung Joon-young and Choi Jong-hoon have been sentenced to prison terms on charges of sexual assault.

-Another week, another celeb: Jane Fonda recruited Paul Scheer for today’s “Fire Drill Friday” protests.

-It’s Black Friday or, as gossip hounds know it, CDAN blind item reveal day.

-The E.T. short is cute. Yes, it’s a commercial, but it’s still cute.

Lil Nas X Adjusts to Sudden Superstardom

lil nas x time cover

Lil Nas X of “Old Town Road” fame is on the cover of Time magazine, where he reveals what prompted him to come out and how he’s dealing with his instant fame.

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth‘s camps are out in full force, trying to push their sides of the story.

Lana Condor posted a pic from the set of the third To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before — before Netflix officially confirmed they’re making it. They did, however, announce that the second film will drop on Netflix in February. (That second book is *rough*, especially if you’re a fan of Peter Kavinsky. I’m worried.)

Cardi B interviewed Bernie Sanders for his YouTube channel. Look, I don’t roll with the Bernie Bros but I can watch Cardi waxing poetic about FDR’s New Deal forever.

-This dinner for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez featured pretty much every guest star who’s been on Desus and Mero show this season — and then some.

-I dig this Vanity Fair photo shoot with eight Emmy nominees: Giancarlo Esposito (Better Call Saul), Margaret Qualley (Fosse/Verdon), Christina Applegate (Dead to Me), Jared Harris (Chernobyl), Don Cheadle (Black Monday), Eugene Levy (Schitt’s Creek), Milo Ventimiglia (This Is Us), and Niecy Nash (When They See Us).

Drew Barrymore is getting a daytime talk show and I kind of love this as a next step for her.

-Four alleged victims are suing Danny Masterson and the church of Scientology for stalking and conspiracy to cover up sexual assaults. Meanwhile, Leah Remini is ending her A&E show with a two-hour special finale, airing August 26, that’ll focus allegations that Scientology policies have hindered members from reporting sexual assault and physical violence. THR reports the episode will feature interviews with two of the women who’ve accused Masterson of assault.

Abby Quinn has just been cast as the daughter in the Mad About You reboot, so I guess that’s still happening. (I just saw her in a movie last night with Michelle Williams and Julianne Moore, which was really bad but she was fine.)

-I always like this annual interview with TV network bosses about which show they regretted letting get away.

-For someone who has read Persuasion and Pride and Prejudice a ridiculous amount of times, I’ve somehow never got around to reading Jane Austen‘s unfinished book Sanditon. (But I did watch a web series adaptation! Does that count??) In any case, the trailer for Andrew Davies‘ adaptation is very much my shit.

-Here’s the trailer for Terrence Malick’s A Hidden Life starring Matthias Schoenaerts (and some other people, but I’m only here for MS).

Ezra Miller Hates Hippies, Loves Goats

Ezra Miller talks about living on a “polyamorous farm” which, yeah, totally tracks.

-His GQ interview included a goat in labour. I wonder if his publicist had to pay extra for that? (Full disclosure: I couldn’t read the whole thing. Once I got to “I find the presence of cell phones bad for my mood. I can feel cell phones when they’re around” I was worried my retinas would detach from such strenuous eye-rolling…)

Bryan Tyree Henry is best known for Atlanta but he’s doing the press rounds now for both Widows and If Beale Street Could Talk, which means he’s getting the GQ treatment.

-Congrats to Gabrielle Union who, after going public with her troubles with infertility, welcomed a new baby girl with hubby Dwayne Wade today via surrogate.

-Yay, Max Greenfield will reprise his role as Leo on the Veronica Mars reboot. (I loved his character at the time, but it retrospect it was super creepy that a fully grown cop was dating a teenager.) Patton Oswalt will also join the cast.

Halsey would like us all to know that she is not dating John Mayer. Understandable.

A magazine dared ask Nicole Kidman about her relationship with her adopted children Connor and Isabella, but she didn’t really say much: “They are adults. They are able to make their own decisions. They have made choices to be Scientologists and as a mother, it’s my job to love them.”

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are officially, finally, for real, no take-backsies divorced.

-Wow, Olivia Munn does NOT like being referred to as a “tech girl.”

-Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke says she wanted more actors of colour, but author Stephanie Meyer resisted. One day I would love to see a tell-all about how authors like Meyer and E.L. James totally messed up their film adaptations.

-This might be the best story about working for a Hollywood agent that I have ever read.

-Speaking of great Twitter threads, this one about the dumbest things people have said to celebrities is gold.

-Hollywood has officially run out of reboot ideas, so they’re looking to hit songs for inspiration. Anyone up for watching a Sk8er Boi TV show?

-Maybe love isn’t dead after all. Meg Ryan confirmed her engagement to John Mellencamp.

-In the trailer for the new season of her Scientology show, Leah Remini is all about the receipts.

-It lives! Brooklyn Nine-Nine will make its NBC debut on Jan 10.

-Avengers 4 is rumoured to be 3 hours, and I don’t understand anything Hollywood does anymore.

Shia LeBeouf and FKA twigs are officially a thing and I want so much more for her….

Bryan Cranston says he hasn’t seen a script yet for the Breaking Bad movie and is not even sure if he’s in it.

Julia Roberts’ Amazon show Homecoming has left me a little cold (I’m on episode 6 so I’m withholding judgment), but there’s no doubt it’s a technical marvel. This piece on its visual style and inspirations is fascinating.

James Franco and Liam Neeson star in the Coen Bros‘ upcoming anthology western The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.
