Matthew McConaughey: Mask Up To Keep On Livin’

-I love how Matthew McConaughey keeps talking and posting about the need to wear a mask. Whether he’s making silly videos or showing off his Spanish, he’s committed to the cause. I wonder if it will catch on more now that Los Angeles is requiring masks when outside, which means we’re about to see a whole lot more celebs wearing them.

Beyoncé shared a new video of the mobile Covid-19 testing sites she helped set up with her mother in their hometown of Houston.

-This Twitter thread of mundane celebrity encounters is an unexpected delight on a gloomy day. When I first moved to Toronto, I once saw Joshua Jackson coming towards me on the sidewalk and I literally stopped in the middle of his path to gawk at him. He smiled and walked around me while I blushed myself to death. Good times!

-The thread has since spun off to fake Diane Keaton sightings, which is equally delightful.

-Don’t worry about Mary-Kate Olsen; her prenup is as ironclad as her commitment to saying “prune” when posing.

-Some gossip tidbits from André Leon Talley’s memoir are starting to roll in as the publication date nears.

-I have not watched Survivor in years but my god, this season was exactly what I needed. The gameplay was outstanding and the best player won (though it is disturbing that there’s only been 3 female winners in the past 15 seasons).

-I guess I wasn’t the only one who liked it. Last night’s finale hits 5-season highs in the ratings.

Ellen Degeneres is reportedly sad that everyone thinks she’s mean. There’s a really easy solution to this: be nicer.

-Do I have to know who all these Southern Charm people who are causing drama are? Guys, I’m just so tired.

-Tragic: Melissa Etheridge’s 21-year-old son has died following an opioid addiction.

-If you ever want to feel bad about humanity, just follow superhero fandom chatter. Earlier this week, it was Batman fans getting angry at Robert Pattinson for not working out while he’s on a break from filming, and now the CW released a poster for their new Superman show on Twitter and the replies are a garbage fire.

-Speaking of Superman, the CW has pushed the return of most shows to January (except Supernatural, which will air its final episodes this fall.) We’re going to be hit with an intense TV dry spell very soon.

-Hulu’s The Great (and particularly Elle Fanning’s performance) is getting great reviews.

Margo Martindale breaking into tears when talking about her character on The Americans made me feel things. Uncool, man.

Benedict Cumberbatch Talks Fame, Fatherhood in Vanity Fair

-Everyone’s freaking out about how “hot” Benedict Cumberbatch is on the new cover of Vanity Fair. Really? It’s not doing anything for me. First of all, that’s the cheating pose. There’s no way a guy doesn’t look hot when posing with his arm above his head like that. It’s not a fair and accurate representation of hotness. And why is he pulling his pants down? I’m uncomfortable.

-Meanwhile, it looks like his Doctor Strange costar Tilda Swinton is left to shoulder all the whitewashing response.

-TMZ reports that the Kardashian family suspects the robbery was an inside job, with someone who knew when Kim would be bodyguardless tipping off the crooks.

-Not surprisingly, Karl Lagerfeld had some questionable things to say about the Kim Kardashian robbery. Because he’s the human equivalent of a pinky ring.

-I always forget that Melissa Etheridge is tight with Brad Pitt, but she doesn’t let us forget it in her new interview with Andy Cohen. Us Weekly reports she commented on the Brangelina split, talking about Angelina‘s strategy (“”I’ve gone through family courts. I’ve been twice around this block, and I know it really well, and I know when there’s some forethought to just how mean and just how you’re going to put disinformation out there first”) and reminding us all about that time when Angelina broke up Billy Bob Thorton and Laura Dern (“I was around when Angelina was not doing nice things with Billy Bob to Laura Dern. I went through that on a personal level…I helped Laura move out of her house with Billy Bob — I like broke into their home to get their stuff out because it was so nasty.”

-Perhaps maybe Chrissy Teigen shouldn’t have admitted to opening Rihanna’s mail? Seeing as that’s illegal and all. Just a thought.

-The Flash cast is really getting into the playoff season. Well, until you get to the end.

-Speaking of The Flash, I agree with this article on the 10 ways to fix the show.

-This little promo for Martha Stewart and Snoop’s new show already makes this my favourite thing on TV by a country mile.

-Variety’s report on what TV stars make per episode is fascinating! First of all, no wonder the Supernatural boys never want that show to end. Jensen Ackles is pulling in $175K per ep. And look at the women ruling the charts! Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel both scored $750K per episode of the revival, while Clare Danes and Ellen Pompeo are in the $400-450k range.

Ben Stiller revealed he was diagnosed with prostate cancer 2 years ago.

-When it comes to Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato is on Team Katy Perry.

-The Birth of a Nation is tracking low. It hasn’t been helped by Nate Parker‘s belligerent appearances this week, or this New Yorker article about how the movie isn’t worth defending.

-Congrats to OITNB and You’re The Worst star Samira Wiley, who just got engaged.

-I’m not totally sold on Kristen Stewart’s suit, but damn that hair. DAYUM!

Emily Blunt says that when they were shooting The Girl on the Train, the extras assumed it was a Friends reunion show.

-Meanwhile, the reviews for that movie are so bad. Bummer.

-Oh wow, an arrest was made after that death at George Stroumboulopoulos‘ L.A. home. The way it was initially covered, I just assumed it was a suicide.

-Congrats to Girls star Zosia Mamet, who married longtime BF Evan Jonigkeit. (Who, I just found out, is NOT Toby from Pretty Little Liars. Huh).

-Pretty much every celebrity ever is in this voting PSA. Like, every one.
