Demi Lovato Is Engaged

-Congrats to Demi Lovato and soap star Max Ehrich, who are engaged after four months of dating. Man, emerald cut diamonds are everywhere now, huh?

-We all assumed One Direction’s 10-year anniversary would be today’s biggest music news. But then Taylor Swift unexpectedly announced she will be dropping her eighth studio album, titled folklore, tonight at midnight.

-Interestingly, Kanye West is supposed to be dropping his new album, Donda, at the same time. I’m sure that’s a complete coincidence.

-This is an interesting thread on how a surprise album has let Taylor escape the singles release structure, which frankly, has caused her issues for the past few releases. My least fave songs for her last two albums were the ones she released first.

Britney Spears‘ brother Byran laughed off rumours she’s being held captive and said of her conservatorship “Obviously there was a need for it in the beginning…It’s been a great thing for our family and we keep hoping for the best.” He added “She’s always wanted to get out of it. It’s very frustrating to have. Whether someone’s coming in peace to help or coming in with an attitude, having someone constantly tell you to do something has got to be frustrating.”

Megan Fox gushed about her relationship with Machine Gun Kelly when they appeared together on the Give Them Lala…With Randall podcast. “The second that I was in a room with him and said hello to him and looked into his eyes, I knew right away that he was what I call a twin flame. We’re actually two halves of the same soul I think. I said that to him almost immediately. I felt it right away.”

Martha Stewart expertly shading Chelsea Handler is what I needed today.

-ComicCon kicked off this morning. Here’s when some of the biggest panels for TV/movies are taking place — which you can watch on YouTube.

Eminem is reportedly terrified of what Mariah Carey might reveal in her new memoir about the time they dated. I forgot about that! A source tells Us Weekly: “Marshall is stressed out that Mariah is going to say s–t that he was bad in bed or a selfish lover because he has always been very insecure about that. She knows that.”

-The Johnny Depp libel trial continues. Amber Heard has been on the stand the past few days, and has accused him of headbutting her the night before she appeared on James Corden’s show, trying to throw her sister down a set of stairs, and going on a 36-hour cocaine and whiskey binge.

Taraji P. Henson might get her own Empire spinoff at Fox.

Chris D’Elia‘s prank show for Netflix has been scrapped after those allegations of inappropriateness with fans.

-I didn’t even like The Kissing Booth and I’m still going to watch the crap out of the sequel because that’s where quarantine has me these days.

-Amazon on Thursday released the first trailer for Gillian Flynn’s forthcoming apocalyptic thriller Utopia, starring John Cusack, Rainn Wilson and Sasha Lane. This was first announced back in 2014 so I had assumed it wasn’t going forward.

Bill and Ted 3 has moved to a September theatre release, with a simultaneous video on demand release. For a movie of this size, this makes the most sense. Open in other countries, and in North America on mostly VOD to take advantage of all the marketing already done.

Gal Gadot Talks Marriage and Motherhood in Vogue

Gal Gadot vogue

Gal Gadot covers Vogue, and though she doesn’t address her much-ridiculed “Imagine” video, she does talk about meeting her husband: “In the desert at this chakra/yoga retreat type of party. And he was too cool for school. Like, we were in the same group of friends but I didn’t know him and he didn’t know me. And something happened kind of from the first moment we started talking. When we got home, I was like, ‘Is this too early to call you? I want to have a date.’ Then we go out, and by the second date he told me, ‘I’m going to marry you. I’m going to wait for two years, but we’re going to get married.’ I was like, ‘Fine.'”

-In a new chat with Amy Schumer in Interview, Selena Gomez talks about how tabloids would spin it every time she stepped away from the spotlight. “The way the media has sometimes tried to explain things has made it sound really bad, when in reality there’s nothing wrong with the fact that I needed to go away or that I fell in love. I had to start opening up because people were taking away my narrative, and it was killing me.”

-Meanwhile, Selena just nabbed Tom Petty’s L.A. mansion for $5 million.

-Actors Manny Jacinto, Lucas Hedges, Glen Powell and more sent GQ photos of their fave outfits. Is it just me, or do they all seem to be quarantining with professional photographers?

Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas have resumed their pap-friendly strolls. Yay?

Diddy hosted a celeb-packed dance-a-thon to raise money for healthcare workers and his ex Jennifer Lopez made an appearance (she still calls him “Puffy”). But Diddy was not here for Lizzo‘s performance and cut it off early. “It’s Easter Sunday. Let’s play something a little bit family friendly.” He later clarified: “When I stopped the music it was because it had a lot of curses in there. Not because she was twerking. She’s one of the best twerkers in the world.”

-Speaking of charity IG Lives, Rihanna did one and warned fans to quit asking about new music. “If one of y’all motherf–kers asks me about the album one more time when I’m trying to save the world, unlike y’all president… on sight.” She’s not wrong.

Justin Timberlake is in Montana with his family, and says that parenting 24 hours a day is “not human.” They have one child.

-The SNL at-home episode was odd, but I did really like the Zoom sketch.

Kristen Stewart‘s girlfriend, screenwriter Dylan Meyer, celebrated Stewart’s milestone 30th birthday with a sweet Instagram post, writing “It’s a short ride on this earth, spend your time with someone that inspires you to be the best version of yourself and lights your shit on fire.”

-These videos people are making pretending to be Madonna’s assistant will never not make me laugh.

-In case you need a little Monday pick me up, here are the staged rowing photos that Lori Loughlin allegedly used to get her daughters into college.

-This article on the weaponized niceness of Ellen Degeneres is worth your time. In completely unrelated news, here are some very unstaged photos of her delivering PPE to a fire station.

-I watched the Tiger King reunion special so you don’t have to.

-My favorite part of this interview is when Ellen Pompeo is pretty blunt about how she preferred the early seasons of Grey’s Anatomy. “The show back then was just so, so, so, so good. I wish we had an appreciation for it then about how good it was. I don’t think we did, I don’t think any of us did. There was too much shit going on. It was too big, it was too hot, it was too fast and there was just so much going on in the beginning…I wish we had appreciated it for really how good it was, because — man, the show was fantastic back then.”

-Someone posted Black Widow’s alternate death scene from Avengers: Endgame. What a better way for her to go out.

-Man, some celebrities need to step away from Instagram Live during quarantine. Stephen Amell did a charity one last night and he was visibly drunk and slurry.

-During an interview for Meghan Markle‘s issue of Vogue, Dr. Jane Goodall reveals that Prince Harry hinted at the royal split last summer when she met baby Archie. “I made Archie do the Queen’s wave, saying, ‘I suppose he’ll have to learn this’. Harry said, ‘No, he’s not growing up like that.’ ”

One Direction fans are losing their poo at rumours of a possible reunion show.

-Here’s the trailer for season 2 of Dead to Me, which returns to Netflix May 8.

-I have to say, I did not see a Donald Trump/One Direction feud coming.

-This article on how Kate Middleton is “less than pleased” with Prince William’s ski-trip behaviour probably shouldn’t have made me laugh.

-Beauty and the Beast is going to be a beast at the box office this weekend, waltzing to an expected $165M-$170M bow.

-Speaking of Beauty and the Beast, Emma Watson is reportedly pulling in $3M upfront, but her final payday could be $15M if the film’s final haul is similar to Maleficent’s $759M worldwide gross.

-Whatever happens with Brangelina, at least their delicious Miravel rose seems safe for now.

-Is Taylor Swift launching her own version of Spotify?

-Emily Van Camp and Matt Czuchry are going to star in a new Fox medical drama. I like both of those actors separately, but together they make a bland duo of immense blandness.

-Networks are scrambling after nearly all of their mid-season premieres (17 scripted shows launched since Jan. 1), are languishing with low ratings.

-Balmain failed Scarlett Johansson with this terrible dress at the Ghost In The Shell premiere.

-Congrats to Marion Cotillard, who had her second kid.

Ellen DeGeneres and Kristen Bell dressed up as leprechauns for a festive game of Heads Up.

Amy Schumer’s Netflix special was attacked by online trolls who down-voted her.

Katie Cassidy is the latest celebrity to have her nude photos hacked and leaked online. Not cool, pervs.

-Oh, so I guess I’m not watching season 2 of The Crown.

Review returns this week (or Wednesday on Much if you’re in Canada). This is by far one of my favourite comedies airing right now.  It somehow manages to be both hilarious and heartbreaking.

-Here’s the final trailer for The Leftovers. Wait, is Kevin Jesus?!
