-Black Widow may be delayed indefinitely, but Scarlett Johansson and Florence Pugh still made the new issue of Marie Claire. Pugh recalls team building trust exercises they did when they first met, including guiding each other while blindfolded. “I think maybe the tiredness did add to my not being so self-aware and just, I suppose, allowing myself to start taking the piss out of Scarlett from day one, which was great. And then from that point onward, we kind of did it to each other.”

–Lady Gaga covers Billboard’s Grammy issue and talks about how Fiona Apple’s Fetch the Bolt Cutters has been getting her through isolation (girl, same), and how she became den mother to a handful of her team who are quarantining with her. I feel really bad for her because I think her new album is great and in any other year it would be taking over the world.

Being part of the MCU means I can totally ask her about Chris Evans‘ nudes, right??
