Anne Hathaway’s Backyard Red Carpet

–Anne Hathaway might be missing out on a Locked Down premiere, but she’s not skipping the red carpet. She ate this photoshoot.

-Also, she says we’ve all been calling her the wrong name. “Call me Annie. Everybody, everybody, call me Annie. Please…The only person who ever calls me Anne is my mother, and she only does it when she’s really mad at me, like really mad. So every time I step out in public and someone calls my name, I think they’re going to yell at me.”

-Here we go. Page Six published an interview with Armie Hammer’s ex-girlfriend Courtney Vucekovich, who attests to him making cannibalism comments, but levels even more disturbing accusations of emotional abuse. “He quickly grooms you in the relationship. He kind of captivates you and while being charming, he’s grooming you for these things that are darker and heavier and consuming. When I say consuming, I mean mentally, physically, emotionally, financially, just everything.”

-I’d love to know the “much-loved actor” who trash talked him to an interviewer.

-It’s wild that there a screengrabs of Mary-Kate Olsen‘s Zoom divorce proceedings floating around. And they were authorized!

-I guess those Deux Moi blinds about an A-list singer trying to be a movie star make sense now. Cardi B just landed her very first leading role in a film, Paramount’s upcoming comedy Assisted Living.

-Wondering why Brie Larson is trending? When asked how she spent recess when she was 10, she responded “10 years old? I’d probably be on the computer at the library researching ‘how do I know if I’m gay?'”

–Lori Harvey and Michael B Jordan posting their cute snowball fight on Instagram kinda feels like rubbing it in, no?

–Bella Thorne commented on Florence Pugh‘s Instagram video and fans started dragging her, and Pugh was not having it.

–Chris Evans is reportedly in talks with Marvel Studios to reprise his role as Captain America in the MCU. So nothing is ever allowed to end and no characters are ever allowed to die? Got it.

–Miley Cyrus says she once climbed the Roosevelt Hotel sign naked after “a rager.” Who amongst us hasn’t?

-This video of Lana Condor and Noah Centineo reacting to their new To All The Boys trailer is adorable. A++ marketing.

–Macaulay Culkin has joined the call to get the Trump cameo removed from Home Alone. Canada already did it.

-Musician Ariel Pink sounds like a swell guy. The week after he attended the insurrection at the Capitol, court documents are revealing that he’s being accused of sexual misconduct and physical abuse.

-Warner Bros spent the holidays trying to placate their top talent after abruptly announcing that all their 2021 movies would be streaming on HBO Max. Denzel Washington is said to be getting his $20 million plus backend fee  for The Little Things, while talent making less than $4 million will be paid an additional 25% upon the release of the film as an advance against box office bonuses.

–Katherine Heigl and Sarah Chalke play longtime friends  in the trailer for Netflix’s  upcoming series Firefly Lane.

-The trailer for I Care A Lot has arrived. I saw this at TIFF and my immediate reaction wasn’t overwhelmingly positive because everyone – EVERYONE – in this movie is terrible and there’s no one to root for. But as soon as I leaned into it, it was pretty great. Also, no one has ever looked cooler vaping as Rosamund Pike does in this. It’s on Netflix in the US, but comes to Prime on Feb 19 in Canada.

Crazy Rich Asians’ Constance Wu Covers Marie Claire Malaysia

Constance Wu Covers Marie Claire Malaysia

-Crazy Rich Asians star Constance Wu wears Michael Kors on the cover of Marie Claire Malaysia. She’s lovely but I didn’t even recognize her in that second photo (at first glance I thought it was Chloe Bennet).

–Jennifer Garner is poised to make a big splash with her Alias-reminiscent thriller Peppermint, so I really wanted her to BRING IT at the premiere. But this dress is a wrinkly mess.

-The Guy Ritchie-directed live-action Aladdin is reportedly doing reshoots because Disney wasn’t happy that they were using makeup to make the white actors look more Middle Eastern. So, they were trying to do brown face in 2018?!

-There was lots of good writing about the Louis CK comeback attempt yesterday, including from The Cut, The Daily Beast, and EW. I especially liked Rebecca Corry’s reflection on what has happened to her since she spoke out publicly about being one of his victims. But this account from two women who were actually at the show is a must-read: “It felt like there were a lot of aggressive men in the audience and very quiet women…There were at least four to five females that I could see, and three or four of them were not having it. They were just looking at him, deadpan, straight, not having it.”  Oh, and this little nugget: during his set he made a joke about rape whistles: “When he said ‘rape whistle’ people were laughing, and I was just sitting there like ‘oh my fuck.’ This is so uncomfortable and so disgusting. Everyone around me was laughing. That was just depressing.”

-Meanwhile, Michael Ian Black says he “hears all of your voices” in response to his Twitter defense of Louis CK, and has made a donation to two charities.

-Also, SNL’s Michael Che is still trash.

-Good on Gwyneth Paltrow for having a sense of humour about her “thinking about dick” meme.

–Kanye West finally answered Jimmy Kimmel‘s question about Trump: “He wants to be the greatest president, and he knows that he can’t be the greatest president without the acceptance of the black community. So, it’s something he’s going to work towards, but we’re gonna have to speak to him.”

-The second season of American Vandals may be about poo, but critics say the show isn’t shit.

–Alec Baldwin announced he’s no longer taking on the role of Bruce Wayne’s father in the Joker movie, sighting “scheduling” conflicts.

-In a new podcast, Clayne Crawford reflected on being fired from Lethal Weapon TV show — and he’s clearly learned nothing. Instead of being humble and apologetic and trying to prove to prospective employers that he’s worth a shot, he went with this instead: “Hollywood is very sensitive, so I should not have screamed and yelled, right, because it’s a bunch of very delicate flowers out there.”

-Paramount’s high-profile Top Gun sequel – starring Tom Cruise and Miles Teller – is being pushed back a year, and will now hit theaters in June 2020 instead of next July.

–Ethan Hawke is not wrong about superhero movies.

-It sounds like Shaun Majumder’s departure from This Hour has 22 Minutes was not pleasant.

–Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx: still a thing.

-Aww man, why is Amandla Stenberg having to defend her new movie Where Hands Touch? I *just* bought tickets to it! (It’s from the director of Belle so I have high hopes.)

-Yes to the tuxedo dress Meghan Markle wore to Hamilton.

–Rosamund Pike is addicted to war zones in the Marie Colvin biopic A Private War.

 

Oscars 2015: Best and Worst Dressed on the Red Carpet

Nicole and I may be in different provinces right now, but that didn’t stop us from IM’ing all night about the hits and (mostly) misses on the Oscar red carpet. Here’s our picks for the 5 best and worst looks of the night:

BEST

Jen: When Scarlett Johansson finally showed up in this killer green Versace dress amid the sea of pale gowns, I tweeted “this is the red carpet equivalent of a mic drop.” The colour is stunning, the cut is unbelievably flattering (the fact that she had a baby four months ago breaks my brain), and the shaved hair is Thunderdome chic. This is without a doubt my favourite look of the entire night.
Nicole: I’m super not sold on the necklace but she is radiant against all the white dresses and that fit… wowza.

Nicole: I did not imagine that Laura Dern would be on my best dressed list but her silver dress by Alberta Ferretti looks like a suit of armor and it’s stunning.  The fit is perfect and the flowing back of the dress contrasts with the tough front. It’s much more interesting than I’d expect to see on this red carpet!
Jen: Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised by this dress too, especially the view from the back. It’s fierce and sexy.

Jen: Gone Girl’s Rosamund Pike is another rare star to make a break from the pale gowns and wow us with a colour. This stunning Givenchy fits beautifully and hugs her in all the right places. (She also just had a baby, which is beyond depressing.)
Nicole: This is THE dress of the night for me and a great do-over after  the disappointing dress at the Golden Globes. The contrasting textures really flatter her curves and the corset top is gorgeous.

Nicole: Dakota Johnson is in a simple red column dress and if it not for the gorgeous shoulder detail this St. Laurent wouldn’t be a standout. The slash of red lipstick is perfect and the whole ensemble shines against her pale skin.
Jen: You liked this one a lot more than I did. It’s ok, but this is her big moment, and I really wish she’d went for it in a much bigger/bolder way.

Jen: Mark your calendar! I’m including Lady Gaga on a best dressed list! Sure, some of it is due to the fact that it was slim pickings on the Oscar red carpet this year, but it’s hard to ignore the beauty of this custom Azzedine Alaïa dress. Even her hideous dishwashing gloves couldn’t overpower it.
Nicole: Okay, so it’s a white dress in a sea of white dresses but wow, this is beautiful.  The architectural shape still flatters Gaga when it could easily overwhelm anyone else.

WORST

Nicole: It’s heartbreaking really, the Dior Couture dress that Marion Cotillard is wearing looks pretty (if too loose) from the front but falls apart when you see the back with tons of volume and a weird black strip. This reminds me of the Jennifer Lawrence Dior from last year, which also wasn’t super flattering and had weird volume issues.
Jen: Agreed. I was almost going to give this one a pass for quirkiness when I saw it from the front, and then she turned around and showed off the bustle. Hard pass!

Jen: It’s not that there were a lot of terrible dresses on this year’s Oscar red carpet. That would have at least kept things interesting. Instead, we got a lot of ‘meh’ dresses — disappointing gowns that failed to elicit any meaningful reaction at all. We were bored to tears by Reese Witherspoon’s black and white Tom Ford (way too similar to what’s she’s worn in the past), Cate Blanchett’s basic black Margiela dress, Julianne Moore’s unflattering Chanel couture, Emma Stone’s old lady Elie Saab, Zoe Saldana’s Versace with its bad straps, Sienna Miller’s unremarkable Oscar de la Renta, and Keira Knightley’s Valentino, which makes her look like she rushed to the carpet from a high school production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Nicole: SIGH. So much white.  I had such high hopes for Julianne as she was really strong throughout the season and Emma Stone makes such beautiful choices but it was just underwhelming. I was going to comment on Keira Knightly but my mother just reminded me that if I can’t say anything nice…
Jen: This is why you shouldn’t watch award shows when visiting home. Not saying anything nice is the WHOLE POINT.

Nicole: While I’m certainly not surprised by Felicity Jones’s boring prom dress, I am shocked that it’s Alexander McQueen.  The bodice is lovely and fits beautifully and then it poofs out into an overwhelming skirt. I sound like an old lady, but she has such a great figure and she’s so young; I wish she’d embrace a more adventurous style!
Jen: Though the colour was a bit underwhelming, I really liked the bodice. But wow, she was completely swallowed up by that skirt, which is a shame.

Jen: As a pale lady, I know the rules of dressing for alabaster complexions. Nicole Kidman does too so why is she breaking all of them in this Louis Vuitton gown. It’s too pale, too sparkly, too ill-fitting. And dear lord, why the belt? Why?! She looks like a bowling pin.
Nicole: I actually like the belt.  I just would like to see the belt on a much less boring dress.

Nicole: When Lupita Nyong’o stepped onto the red carpet (holding her own umbrella, no less) all I could see was the very top of her white pearl custom Calvin Klein dress and I thought… this could be great.  But I couldn’t get over the awkward pearl in the middle and in the end it just comes across as too much.  Maybe if they’d used fewer than 6,000 pearls?
Jen: Remember when she KILLED it all award season last year? What’s happened? This is her latest misstep, and it’s a biggie. It looks like she’s wearing a bunch of old lady necklaces that somehow melded into a dress in a freak accident.
