Lady Gaga Mines Her Pain

-In her THR cover story, Lady Gaga talks about how she channeled her own trauma and nearly came undone while shooting House of Gucci. All of her quotes about staying in character during the shoot are so over the top and this whole promo tour is going to be wild. “My mother and father met me as Patrizia a couple times. And they were mostly laughing because my family gets a kick out of my love of artistry. … There’s a downside to committing yourself to a role in that way because it’s an adjustment for everybody around you. Suddenly, you’re not talking to Stefani anymore with an accent. You’re talking to Patrizia Gucci.”

Adam Driver says he and Lady Gaga improvised feral noises of their House of Gucci sex scene: ‘We were feeling it!’

Britney Spears posted a video celebrating her new freedoms, and it starkly underscores how restricted her life was. “Being able to have the keys to my car…and owning an ATM card and accessing cash for the first time, being able to buy candles — it’s the little things for us women but it makes a huge difference.”

-After starring in Taylor Swift‘s new video, Miles Teller took to Twitter to say, “Hey guys, I don’t usually feel the need to address rumors on here but I am vaccinated and have been for a while.” (In September, both the Daily Mail and The Hollywood Reporter reported delays on The Offer, a TV series featuring Teller about the making of The Godfather, because the actor reportedly refused to get vaccinated against COVID.)

-In the wake of Taylor‘s new songs, her fans are going after John Mayer.

Rockmond Dunbar has left Fox’s 911 over the show’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate. He said in a statement, “I applied for religious and medical accommodations pursuant to the law and unfortunately was denied by my employer.”

Meghan Markle was on The Ellen Show (which was an odd choice, no?). It will air tomorrow but they showed a cute clip of her talking about going to auditions with her busted car.

Olivia Munn says there’s lots of incorrect speculation surrounding her relationship with John Mulaney. She told the LA Times it’s “definitely not foreign for me to have people speculate incorrectly about things and to have rumors run rampant in one way. They think they know our relationship so well. When in reality, they don’t. There’s no way anyone could know what any of his relationships were or what our relationship is.”

Elle Fanning is fans with Leonardo DiCaprio’s girlfriend, and she says they all fangirled when they were at the same party with the cast of Squid Game. “It was interesting because Leo was kind of around there, and Cami and I were freaking out, and he was like, ‘Guys, act cool. Relax.’ And then we were like, ‘It’s Squid Game!’ And he was like, ‘It is?! Where?!’ So he was excited too.”

-Are we having fun yet?!? A Party Down revival has been ordered at Starz with multiple original cast members returning, including Adam Scott, Jane Lynch, Ken Marino, Martin Starr, Ryan Hansen and Megan Mullally. I’m bummed that Lizzy Caplan seems out because of scheduling issues.

-The Harry Potter cast is set to reunite for the 20th anniversary on a HBO Max special — and J.K. Rowling won’t be included.

Jennifer Coolidge is joining Ryan Murphy‘s upcoming series about a couple being stalked.

-Both of the IATSE contracts have been ratified. But when it comes to the big Hollywood agreement it only passed because of the electoral college-style voting system. Popular vote was 49.6% yes to 50.4% no.

-The reviews of Adele‘s new album 30 are calling it her best.

Channing Tatum is put in charge of an angry service dog in the first trailer for his buddy trip movie, which is unimaginatively titled Dog.

Kirsten Dunst says the disparity between her Spider-Man salary and Tobey Maguire’s was “very extreme.” “I didn’t even think about it. I was just like, ‘Oh yeah, Tobey is playing Spider-Man.’ But you know who was on the cover of the second Spider-Man poster? Spider-Man and ME.”

-In the Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer, Peter and Dr. Strange botch a spell to make everyone forget Spider-Man’s real identity, which leads to visitors from every universe, including Jamie Foxx’s Electro, Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin, Alfred Molina‘s Dr. Octopus, the Sandman from Spider-Man 3 and the Lizard from The Amazing Spider-Man. (This is a good post laying out all the ways this movie could go.)

Zendaya Stuns in Venice

-It’s been a very long time since a red carpet outfit made me gasp outloud, but Zendaya’s just did.

-The early reactions to her film Dune seem very mixed. It’s getting lots of praise for its spectacle, but some say it seems too focused on setting up a sequel.

-Meanwhile, Kristen Stewart wore pajamas to her premiere. I don’t hate this but Nicole made a good point — elastic waistbands are never ok on a red carpet.

-Stewart’s movie is also getting mixed reviews, though her performance is already getting Oscar buzz.

-I was bracing for a Friday afternoon before the long weekend news dump, but so far it’s just that Kaley Cuoco and her husband have split.

-I’ve only seen this reported by the Daily Mail so far but rumours have it that Miles Teller tested positive for covid after refusing to get the vaccine, shutting down production of The Godfather spinoff series The Offer. I wonder if he’ll be un-hirable after this? Of course, he already showed his true colours in 2015 when he gave such a terrible interview to Esquire that his costars had to do damage control, and that didn’t seem to matter.

Drake‘s new album Certified Lover Boy is here. The video for “Way 2 Sexy” made me laugh, so I guess that makes up for hating the song.

-Why did he have to sample R Kelly and give him a writing credit? WHY?

Paula Cole’s “I Don’t Want to Wait” has been restored on the opening credits of Dawson’s Creek on Netflix. Too bad; I’m sure Jann Arden was enjoying the royalty checks.

-I watched the first episode of Only Murders in the Building with Steve Martin, Selena Gomez and Martin Short, and was surprisingly charmed.

Kate Walsh is returning to Grey’s Anatomy for a multi-episode arc when the show returns for its 18th season.

-Rick And Morty casts Christopher Lloyd as Rick in a live-action segment. Who else could play him?

-There’s lots of talk about Joe Rogan actually being vaxxed and not saying so. He’s been playing shows in NYC and he’s been doing events for UFC, so wouldn’t he have to be? I just assume all rich people are.

Prince Harry is calling for increased vaccine education and access, saying “where you’re born should not affect your ability to survive.”

-I’m worried about the pressure being put on Shang-Chi as theatres’ potential pandemic saviour. It’s the first Marvel movie to premiere exclusively in theatres in more than 2 years.

-The Moonfall trailer pits Halle Berry and Patrick Wilson against the moon.

Channing Tatum and Sandra Bullock Strike a Pose

-Look at this photo of Channing Tatum and Sandra Bullock in Lost City Of D, a movie about a reclusive romance novelist who goes on a book tour with her cover model. Get in my eyeballs, already!

Brad Pitt won joint custody of his kids and everyone seems kind of surprised by it (which is probs a bad sign). Angelina Jolie‘s team is appealing the decision.

-In this week’s episode of KUWTK, Kim Kardashian revealed that she had covid last fall. Buzzfeed dove into the timeline and worked out that it came soon after her infamous private island birthday bash.

-According to Heather Morris, Naya Rivera was the only “honest” one about Lea Michele‘s behavior on the Glee set. “It’s like, we absolutely could have stepped up and gone to the Fox execs and said how we felt about the situation and nobody really did. So now we are living in a culture where it’s acceptable to go do things like that, whereas I think many people were very scared.”

-I liked this profile on Emma Stone, who talks about Cruella, long cigarette holders, and her own origin story: “All I wanted to do was play the daughter on a sitcom!”

Rosario Dawson tweeted after the court dismissed the anti-trans case against her: “That these false claims came from someone we’ve known as chosen family for decades and who we were trying so hard to help out, as we have many times in the past, was very heartbreaking. Nevertheless, we have great empathy for him and have only ever wished him well.”

-Speaking of Miles, he was reportedly punched in the face by a stranger while on a trip with his wife, Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley.

-If you need ANOTHER reason to adore Jean Smart, she played her own wax figure in an episode of Hacks (which I just started watching and find delightful).

-Black Panther star Danai Gurira is  getting her own Disney+ series exploring the origins of Wakanda’s Dora Milaje.

Gwen Stefani defended herself against longtime cultural appropriation claims, saying “All these rules are just dividing us more.” Oh no, girl.

-I was pretty skeptical of it, but the Friends reunion was pretty great, especially when it was just the six of them telling stories.

-Everyone’s talking about the Friends reunion but I’m more excited for the Kids in the Hall one.

-I still can’t believe this is Kelly Osbourne.

Chris Noth is coming back as Mr. Big for the Sex and the City reboot.

-The first look at the new Gossip Girl reboot is here. I’m intrigued that Tavi Gevinson is part of the cast, and surprised that Kristen Bell is back to narrate.
