Victoria Beckham Says She’s “Really Good Value at a Dinner Party”

victoria beckham elle uk

–Victoria Beckham is on the cover of Elle UK, in which she insists she smiles IRL. “I’m really good value at a dinner party – I want to relax and have a laugh. I like to have fun, and I think that often surprises people.”

–Anne Hathaway has been exceptionally thoughtful and articulate during her Colossal press tour, but this interview with Jezebel may be my favourite — mostly because she doesn’t shy away from the fact that the site had posted incredibly mean things about her in the past. (The postscript to the interview with the reporter’s realization that he once posted Anne’s crotch shot is especially worth your time.)

-Yes, Antonio Banderas scented candles are a real thing that exist. (Unfortunately, they don’t actually smell like Antonio Banderas.)

–Chris Evans says he cried when he told his mom he lost his virginity.

–Olivia Munn and Aaron Rodgers have split after 3 years together. His family must be having a goddamn hootenanny right about now…

-Buzzfeed asks a very valid question: how many times does Nicole Kidman have to prove herself?

-Hmmm…Meghan Markle just shut down her lifestyle blog, The Tig. Everyone is assuming this means she’s positioning herself for a role in the royal fam. (Of course, her camp says that speculation is false.)

–Sandra Bullock is just living her life in Wyoming (complete with a great jacket).

-On today’s episode of The Talk, Sharon Osbourne recalled seeing her X Factor costar Mel B with “a black eye and bruising everywhere.”

–Elizabeth Hurley is 51 and she looks like this. I don’t even know how that’s possible.

–Cuba Gooding Jr. says he didn’t intend to exhibit “sexual misconduct” when he lifted up Sarah Paulson’s dress. Well then, give the man a medal!

–Emma Stone responded to that teen’s viral La La Land-inspired promposal, telling him  “I’m in London working, but I hope you have the best time at prom… P.S. I do see Gosling around the eyes.”

-It’s the week before the F&F movie comes out and Vin Diesel is downplaying his reported beef with Dwayne Johnson.

-If I had all that HBO money, I’d probably do exactly what Lena Dunham just did.

–Kristen Stewart runs, jumps and dances in the new ad for Chanel’s latest “it” bag.

–Joe Manganiello likes Dungeons & Dragons so much he wrote a script about it. I remember listening to him on the Nerdist podcast and being shocked by how gloriously geeky he is.

-According to GOOP, you can cure your insomnia by walking around barefoot. Sounds totes legit!

-There’s reportedly intense infighting among the six potential heirs that stand to inherit Prince’s fortune.

-When I die, please bury me in Laura Dern’s bathtub.

–Rami Malek is on the run in the trailer for Buster’s Mal Heart.

Renee Zellweger Tackles Gender Inequality

renee-zellweger-plastic-surgery

-This is a good profile on Renee Zellweger. It’s one thing for a paparazzi-baiting celeb like Jennifer Aniston to complain about the scrutiny surrounding her, but it’s more powerful when it comes from someone who self-exiled themselves from the spotlight for six years. I especially liked this part: “This conversation perpetuates the problem. Why are we talking about how women look? Why do we value beauty over contribution? We don’t seem to value beauty over contribution for men. It’s simply not a conversation.”

-On the flip side, Gabrielle Carteris is petitioning to keep ages off IMDB, saying that she wouldn’t have been Andrea on 90210 if a casting director could find her real age online. I’m not sure lying about aging is going to help with gender inequality.

–Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart have split — about four years after we all expected them to.

–Leslie Jones’ personal website was hacked and nude photos, passport, and passwords were posted online. This is bullshit. What was her crime? Starring in a summer movie while being a black female? Paul Feig has spoken out against it; I really hope her GB costars get vocal soon too.

-This preview of Britney Spears’ Carpool Karaoke edition has me worried. James Corden has said that they tape these things for hours, and this is the best they could edit down to 30 seconds? Her pretending to sing and not getting his jokes? Ooh boy.

-Unlike his Mr Robot character, Rami Malek can’t code or type, but he did manage to post his first Instagram selfie with Stephen Colbert’s help.

-The Affair costars Joshua Jackson and Ruth Wilson went to a restaurant together — for 8 hours! No judgement. If I were her, I’d extend that meal as long as possible too. (“You’re cool if I order a fourth entree, right?”)

–Bella Thorne is one of those people who I can never, ever place (even though I’ve watched The Duff an embarrassing amount of times. Like, a mortifying amount). But now that she’s come out as bi weeks after splitting with her bf and now may be dating her brother’s ex-girlfriend, I guess I should start paying attention.

-Oh, and the next day it’s announced that she is executive producing a Lifetime TV movie. Got it.

–John Krasinski says he might’ve played Captain America if he wasn’t so intimidated by the swole Chris Hemsworth.

-Also, Krasinski says he’d rather Emily Blunt this he was watching porn than have her realize he was watching Devil Wears Prada for the 75th time.

-“I don’t assume that people know who I am.” Beck, reminding us why we love him.

-Look, I like Michael Strahan just fine. He seems like a nice guy and I think my mom has a crush on him. But the way ABC keeps going all in with him confuses me. He just sold a script to them about a former football star who joins the Miami police force. Like, a drama script!

–Courteney Cox ran wild with Bear Grylls and discussed her divorce from David Arquette, her “brutal” temporary split from Johnny McDaid and her plastic surgery regrets.

–Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston had a fight? Heavens!

-Not sure we need to know that Naya Rivera got an abortion during her day off from Glee, but here we are.

-I love that Keira Knightley revealed that she’s been wearing wigs for years. I feel like 90% of female celebrities are wearing other people’s hair, while we spiral in hair envy about them.

-I could listen to Kevin Bacon talk about feminist theory forever.

-Whenever I see a Victoria Beckham dress design that I love, I get so confused/surprised.

-The first trailer for Kenneth Lonergan’s drama Manchester By the Sea is here, starring Casey Affleck, Michelle Williams and Kyle Chandler. I’m basically planning my entire TIFF schedule around this movie.

Natalie Portman Wants You To Read Her Emails

natalie-portman-underwear

–Natalie Portman and Jonathan Safran have emailed each other for more than a decade, and shared some of their correspondence in New York Times’ T magazine. Though they’re beyond pretentious, she’s definitely the one doing the heavy lifting in these chats — but it’s all weirdly undercut by the accompanying photos of her without pants. Sigh. So close, guys!

-Meanwhile, Portman is less interested about sharing emails with Ryan Seacrest.

–Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult bonded for Equals by skateboarding at 4 a.m., late-night drinking in a bar and go-kart racing. The rest of us are in the wrong line of work, y’all.

–Julie Klausner said Page Six lied about her comments about Gwyneth Paltrow — so they came back to her with a handful of receipts.

-Mr. Robot superfan Robert Downey Jr. interviews Rami Malek in the new issue of Interview.

-I’m pleasantly surprised by my lack Emmy rage blackouts today! Overall, this was a really good batch of nominations. I’m especially happy for all the love thrown at The Americans (usually shows this deep into their run of Emmy snubs can’t dig themselves out of it ), as well as the nods for Tatiana Maslany, Constance Zimmer, Better Call Saul, Maura Tierney and Catastrophe (for writing).  It wasn’t all perfect — I would have preferred  Christine Baranski over Emilia Clarke, Rachel Bloom over Laurie Metcalfe, Orange Is the New Black over House of Cards, Oscar Isaac over Cuba Gooding Jr, The Leftovers over Downton Abby,Justin Theroux over Kevin Spacey, and Jessica Jones over almost everything — but still, I’m happy with most of the major categories. I’m also thrilled that The Good Wife’s craptastic final season was totally shut out.

-Also good: for the first time in Emmy history, all six lead acting categories include nods for people of colour. (It’s not perfect, though: not a single supporting actor/actress of colour in a drama was nominated.)

-Bloodline’s Kyle Chandler found out about his nom while taking out the trash. (Which is what that show is. Amirite?)

–Bryan Cranston’s talks about the iconic Breaking Bad “I am the one who knocks” scene.

–Lea Michele and the Glee cast paid tribute to Cory Monteith yesterday on the third anniversary of his death.

–Ariana Grande and Jimmy Fallon made a Snapchat music video, which is supposed to be a joke but seems too much like something that will eventually happen.

–Reese Witherspoon won the internet yesterday with her Legally Blonde anniversary snaps.

–Alicia Keys rounded up Beyoncé, Kevin Hart, Lenny Kravitz, Rihanna and more celebs for a powerful PSA.

–Britney Spears just debuted a new song, “Private Show,” and she looks fantastic in the video.

-Happy Ghostbusters Eve! Enjoy this delightful new Seth Meyers interview with Kate McKinnon. (“My fondest wish is to live as Nick Offerman”), and this Kristen Wiig interview with Jimmy Fallon, in which she plays Bachelorette JoJo, despite knowing nothing about The Bachelorette .

–Tom Hiddleston, Anna Kendrick, David Duchovny and more shared their celebrity pet peeves with Stephen Colbert.

-You can watch the terrifying first 8 minutes of Netflix’s new series Stranger Things.

–The Hollars trailer, directed by John Krasinski and costarring Anna Kendrick and Margo Martindale, is designed to make you cry.
