Are Prince Harry and Megan Markle Engaged?

-Are Prince Harry and Megan Markle ALREADY engaged?  Both Us Weekly and E! News are quoting sources who claim it’s pretty much a done deal.

–Jim Carrey talking shit about working with Tommy Lee Jones on Batman is what the world needs right now.

-I have very, very little interest in reading a piece that tries to get me on Max Landis’ side. This Twitter thread pretty much sums up why.

-It’s Mean Girls Day — and the cast hoping to raise $300k for victims of Las Vegas shooting.

–Tyra Banks has reportedly split from her boyfriend/baby daddy.

-The Good Doctor is the first success of the fall TV season, scoring a full season order. Meh.

-The Mayor, which premieres tonight on ABC, is actually good, though.

-Just in case you hadn’t already run screaming from the Hugh Hefner movie after hearing that Jared Leto, Brett Ratner is also attached to direct.

-The security at Fifth Harmony’s concert thought Becky G was a fan and ushered her off the stage.

–Justin Bieber is trying to rent a house in Beverly Hills, and Beverly Hills is all “NOPE!”

-I think I fell a little bit in love with Frances McDormand at TIFF, and this profile is just solidifying it for me.

-The trailer for HBO’s Divorce Season 2 has landed. I love SJP but I don’t know how this show was renewed; it has so little buzz, it’s basically negative buzz.

-Here’s the final Blade Runner trailer. Expect it to make a trillion dollars this weekend.

Prince Harry and Megan Markle’s Toronto Debut

–Prince Harry and Megan Markle were strolling through a park holding hands near my office, and I’m not gonna lie — for a sec I considered going for a lil creepin’ coffee break. But there are so many new pictures of the two of them coming out today, I really didn’t need to.  Her ripped jeans was a bit of a surprise; I wonder how her style is going to change after she marries into the pantyhose family?

–George Clooney did an interview with the Daily Beast and let loose about politics. Some choice quotes: “Steve Bannon is a pussy,” “Hollywood elite? I don’t have a star on Hollywood Boulevard, Donald Trump has a star on Hollywood Boulevard! Fuck you!,” and “It was frustrating because I never saw [Hilary Clinton] elevate her game. I never saw it.” The more he talks about politics and the more he begins answers with “if I was President of the United States,” the more I wonder what his future plans are.

-I kind of love that Idina Menzel just keeps marrying her Rent costars...

-Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino has a show about to drop on Amazon called The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and the early buzz is great. No wonder they just locked her and her husband down for a multi-year deal. I’m guessing that means more GG episodes aren’t happening though?

-What is Paramount Network and how can I watch Taylor Kitsch as David Koresh in their six-part Waco mini-series?

-Some Ain’t It Cool News contributors have stepped down in wake of Harry Knowles allegations (which he denies).

-Disney developing a Cyrano the Moor musical from Moonlight writer Tarell Alvin McCraney, starring David Oyelowo. Man, I like ALL of those words!

-Goddammit, why do they keep giving Greg Berlanti new shows? He’s currently juggling 10(!) projects.  I like his joints well enough (though I think the quality has gone way down on most — probably because he’s spread too thin), but is there not any fresh blood in Hollywood?

–Chris Pratt did a “which famous Chris are you” quiz — and did not get Chris Pratt.

–Mandy Moore had an engagement party and Minka Kelly documented the whole thing on Instagram.

-Pretty Little Liars is getting a Mona-based spinoff. Makes sense.

-It’ll be interesting to see what happens to the new Star Trek. It debuted strong last night on CBS with 9.6 million viewers, but now it moves to a subscription-only model in the US.  I thought it was ok but I’m not sure if I’m going to keep up with it — which is way easier to do here because it airs on regular TV. I can’t imagine many people outside of a niche audience are going to pay for CBS All Access for just one show.

-Here’s the new trailer for Angelina Jolie’s First They Killed My Father, which is getting good reviews.

-The Barden Bellas are back aca-at it again in this trailer for Pitch Perfect 3. “Pick up your tits” might be my new catchphrase.

Megan Markle on Prince Harry: We’re a Couple. We’re in Love

megan-markle-vanity-fair

–Megan Markle and Prince Harry made it Vanity Fair official, which is even better than Instagram official. Her gorgeous new cover features a lot of Suits talk (ugh, really?) but she does offer a lot of good relationship tidbits. She talks about dealing with the sudden scrutiny (“We were very quietly dating for about six months before it became news, and I was working during that whole time, and the only thing that changed was people’s perception. Nothing about me changed. I’m still the same person that I am, and I’ve never defined myself by my relationship”) and seems to set a timeline about when we’re going to get more info about them — and maybe a big announcement? (“We’re a couple. We’re in love. I’m sure there will be a time when we will have to come forward and present ourselves and have stories to tell, but I hope what people will understand is that this is our time. This is for us.”). It’s all very, very well done.

–George and Amal Clooney made a triumphant return to the red carpet in Venice,  where he talked about his twins’ different personalities.

–George Clooney, Oprah, Beyonce and more will appear on upcoming Hurricane Harvey telethon.

-It’s a big week for Kate Middleton news. She announced her pregnancy, and she was awarded $119,000 in punitive damages for topless photos published in a French magazine.

–Chris Evans reunited with his dog after 10 weeks and it was amazing.

–Taylor Swift debuted a new song over the weekend, “Ready for It.” People say she’s copying Kanye, which seems like a bit of a stretch. In any case, this song is way better than the last.

–Madonna is too famous to get packages delivered to her.

–Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke dance with strangers and eat pasta in their new Dolce & Gabbana ads.

-Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird trailer starring Saoirse Ronan looks very charming — until I remember I tend to hate Greta Gerwig movies. (I’m seriously still pissed I wasted a TIFF ticket on Frances Ha…)
