Bradley Cooper, The Reluctant Superstar

–Taffy Brodesser-Akner once again proves she is one of the best celebrity feature writers working today with her NYT profile on Bradley Cooper. He is CLEARLY not into it, and she explains to him why she needs him to open up, and then the article offers some genuine insight into not just his creative process, but also hers.

-Meanwhile, the song from the A Star Is Born trailer (you know, THE song with the crazy goosebump-inducing, Gaga-wailing chorus), dropped today.

–Busy Philipps, Sarah Hyland and Cara Delevingne shared their devastating #WhyIDidntReport stories today.

-This first look at Tom Hanks as Mister Rogers is the soothing balm the world needed today.

-Speaking of things we could all use after today’s news cycle, The Good Place is back tonight! NBC released the first four eps to critics and the reviews are pretty forking glowing. (Here’s a refresher if you don’t remember how last season ended.)

-The week of surprise baby news continues! Paul Dano and Zoe Kazan reportedly welcomed their first child in August.

–Robert Pattinson and Mia Goth are currently promoting a movie together. Their ex-significant others (FKA twigs and Shia LaBeouf) are now dating. This isn’t awkward at all.

–George Clooney looks really different in this photo. I don’t like it.

-Single Parents (which I really liked) and A Million Little Things (which I really didn’t) premiered to so-so ratings.

–Kanye West is reportedly preparing to drop his third(!) full-length album of the year this weekend.

–Awkwafina and Seth Meyers will host SNL next month.

–Jameela Jamil explained her issues with the body positivity movement which is great — except she may have lifted her quotes from someone she was DMing with. (She’s since credited them.)

-In a new interview, Leah Remini talks about her ongoing fight against Scientology and adds, “I keep wondering – why haven’t Katie Holmes or Nicole Kidman spoken out? I assume they were forced to sign prohibitive documents…Trust me, Katie’s not allowed to have a meal with me, and we used to be close friends. She could lose custody of Suri. It’s quite sick, really.”

-Here’s the Dark Phoenix trailer starring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jessica Chastain, Jennifer Lawrence, and Sophie Turner. This feels like the type of movie that might be OK if you just consider it divorced from the rest of the X-Men films.

 

Armie Hammer Really Knows How To Wear Sweaters

armie hammer GQ call me by your name

–Armie Hammer covers British GQ (as does his Call Me By Your Name costar Timothée Chalamet), and everyone is drooling over this pic of him in a sweater. After seeing him at TIFF I have a lot of conflicting feelings about him. He’s super dreamy IRL, but he also did a panel discussion with Chalamet and his behaviour was…not my favourite.

-Move over, GOOP. Shonda Rhimes just launched her own lifestyle site.

–Elsie Hewitt, a 21-year-old model, filed a civil lawsuit yesterday against actor Ryan Phillippe for allegedly kicking, punching and throwing her down the stairs after an argument on July 4. His camp is telling People that it was Hewitt who attacked him after he broke up with her.

-Meanwhile Philippe’s ex-girlfriend had an interesting tweet …

-Congrats to Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul and wife Lauren, who are expecting their first child.  Brace yourself for even more gushy social media posts (which I find weirdly endearing, tbh).

-I like that Prince William is comfortable enough about balding to crack jokes about it.

–Jada Pinkett Smith is shooting down Leah Remini‘s claims that she’s a Scientologist, tweeting “I have chanted and meditated in some of the most magnificent temples on earth… but I am not a Buddhist. I have studied Dianetics, and appreciate the merits of Study Tech… but I am not a Scientologist.”

–Elisabeth Moss wrote “f*ck off” on the bottom of her Emmy shoes. Cute — but still doesn’t make me like her outfit.

–Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman politely struggling over who gets to hold the Emmy is giving me life!

-I really like this piece about the conflicting emotions of being a Louis CK fan. It took me way too long to disconnect from him too.

-So Jennifer Lawrence is the type to shout “we’re going down” when her flight hits turbulence. Sounds like she’d be swell to sit next to…

–Ansel Elgort‘s new movie looks like it might have a white saviour problem.  Not cool, Hollywood.

Blake Lively Used to Send Leonardo DiCaprio Pictures of Dolls

-I’m having a rough week, so forgive me if I choose to believe this Vanity Fair interview with the Gossip Girl cast for the show’s 10-year anniversary is a personal gift to me from the universe. There’s lots of great tidbits, including how Blake Lively and Leighton  Meester “were not friends,” how Blake and Penn Badgley hid their breakup from the crew for months, and how Blake used to send photos of dolls to Leonardo DiCaprio when they dated. I also love how Leighton just sounds *so* over it, and Ed Westwick admits he still doesn’t know who Gossip Girl is.

–Leah Remini says she refused to try to convert Kevin James to Scientology despite the organization pressuring her to do so. And now he’s gifted her with a sitcom role, so that all worked out for her.

-Blade Runner 2049 is rumoured to be the longest blockbuster since Interstellar. All the sighs.

-After 27 seasons—27!!!—Simpsons composer Alf Clausen has been fired.

–Kanye West is now being counter-sued by his insurer, who points to their drug and alcohol policies.

-Here’s the first trailer for Mr. Robot season three. I kinda forgot about that show.

-Of course TJ Miller is a frequent Yelp reviewer. Of course he is.

–Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves teaming up for a movie is making my inner 90s geek so very happy.

-I feel like we’ve all talked about Justin Bieber’s testicles way too much this week, and it’s only Wednesday.

-This explanation of the Sansa/Ayra stuff from this season of Game of Thrones makes me hate it even more.

-Yikes. Katy Perry is reportedly being sued by a stagehand who lost her toe.

-I can’t believe there are no new movies at the box office this weekend. I can’t remember the last time that happened. And it’s a long weekend!

-I’m bummed that I can’t fit Alexander Payne‘s Downsizing into my TIFF schedule, especially since the reviews out of Venice are so good.
