Oscar Isaac Is Going to Be a Daddy (Not Yours, Tho)

-Your internet boyfriend  Oscar Isaac is having a baby with documentarian Elvira Lind.

–Scarlett Johansson said of the Ghost In The Shell casting controversy: “I would never attempt to play a person of a different race.” Um sweetie, what do you think you just did?

-Good thing Emmy Rossum just got that Shameless pay bump: she had $150,000 worth of jewelry stolen in a home burglary.

-The U.S. version of the Love Actually sequel will have additional scenes apparently, because Laura Linney will appear in it. Her character better be incandescently happy (and have burned that wooly hat she wore to the wedding).

–Aaron Sorkin would like you to know that he is, in fact, aware of Hollywood’s diversity problem. Uh huh.

–Ryan Gosling‘s got a real shrill streak going on this month.

–Mandy Moore doesn’t want to hear your morbid Frozen/Tangled fan theories, ok?

-Here’s our first look at Jake Gyllenhaal and Tilda Swinton in Okja, Bong Joon-ho’s follow-up to Snowpiercer. This is basically the reason I renewed my Netflix subscription, y’all.

–Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman are reuniting to cohost an NBC reality competition about artisans who make things with their hands. Don’t care; will watch.

-The internet is NOT happy Cuba Gooding Jr. for lifting Sarah Paulson’s skirt.

-Is this a photo of Samantha Bee getting screeched in? How adorably Canadian!

-Welp, this blind item might explain that bizarre TV news I mentioned yesterday.

-The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air cast are reunited in this very cute pic.

-I really liked this article on how “camp” is often improperly and broadly applied to pop culture that features so-called “unlikable” female characters.

-I also dug this take on how the  “10-hour movie” trend in prestige TV is infuriating (which comes with this handy list).

-I will never NOT link to a story about Reese Witherspoon’s drunken dancing. Never!

-Here’s the Ghost Story trailer, which combines the two people I don’t need to see in another movie this decade: Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara.

 

Chris Pratt Is Keeping It Real

–Chris Pratt wrote a Facebook post about how normal his life is.

-Speaking of notes that made me laugh,  Damon Lindelof’s letter to critics that he included with The Leftovers screeners is hilarious. He drops references to Joss Whedon and Fleabag, he avoids telling critics how to do their jobs, and then he wraps it up by lightly shading Matthew Weiner.

–Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are reportedly speaking again — but only about the kids.

–Ryan Gosling explains why he laughed when La La Land had the Best Picture Oscar taken away. “I thought there was some kind of medical situation, and I had this worst-case scenario playing out in my head. And then I just heard Moonlight won and I was so relieved that I started laughing.”

-The new NYT profile on John Mayer is titled “John Mayer Knows He Messed Up. He Wants Another Chance.” Well, he’s a rich white dude so I’m guessing he’s got at least another dozen coming…

–Kate Winslet opened up about being bullied as a child: “They “teased me for wanting to act. Locked me in the cupboard. Laughed at me.”

-Wait, the Love Actually reunion will air tomorrow in the UK?! I wonder if I can book a boardroom for when this thing hits the web so I can squee over it in peace?

–David Boreanaz has already signed on to his next TV role. After eight years on Buffy/Angel, and then 12 on Bones maybe he should just sleep for a bit?

-The new Netflix drama 13 Reasons Why, exec produced by Selena Gomez, is getting glowing reviews.

-This is a good piece on how Hollywood is getting way too much credit for tiny gestures towards LGBT inclusivity.

-Remember Maggie Rogers, the NYU music student who blew Pharrell Williams away with her demo? Now she’s killing it on James Corden’s show and getting New Yorker profiles. Put her new EP in your ear holes right now!

-Oh god, the full trailer for The Handmaid’s Tale is devastating. This is going to be a hard watch given the current climate.

-The red band trailer for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri might be the best trailer I’ve seen in a long, long time. I think I fell a little bit in love with Frances McDormand just watching it. (I was already in love with Sam Rockwell. Obviously.)

Britney Spears’ Beach Activities Are Not Like Your Beach Activities

–Britney Spears posted a video of her writhing on a beach. I can only assume this is meant to serve as a judge-y reminder that I skipped leg day last week…

-Speaking of fit-looking celebrities, I may have rewatched Chris Hemsworth’s workout video a few times…

-Hmmm. According to TMZ, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck’s divorce is still “very much on.”

-I kind of love that Emma Watson stopped an interview to tell a reporter that she had a pen mark on her chin — and then proceeded to rub it off. “You would do this for me and I would do this for you.”

–Jake Johnson says that there’s a 50/50 chance that New Girl won’t be renewed.

–Early buzz about American Gods is really positive. I still can’t believe that it’s basically going to be impossible to watch this legally in Canada…

-Iron Fist star Finn Jones says the show isn’t made for critics, so please just ignore all those bad reviews. Jeez, between this and his diversity comments, did this kid get any media training AT ALL?

-“I’m so old that when I was a baby, the first word I uttered was in Latin.”  Christopher Plummer has jokes, y’all.

–Patrick Stewart is fostering a pit bull and the videos he’s posting on Twitter may actually kill me.

-Oopsie. Justin Bieber was caught on camera telling off a fan trying to get a selfie.

-Awww. Colton Haynes accepted his boyfriend’s proposal with a little help from Cher, who sang “I Got You Babe” for them via satellite just before he popped the question.

-Get Out, which cost $4.5 million to make, just crossed the coveted $100 million mark at the box office (without international!).

-Also exceeding expectations at the box office is Kong: Skull Island — but will it be enough? It cost $185M to make and at least $135M to market, which means it will need to make $500M in global ticket sales to be in the clear.

-It’s been confirmed that Game of Thrones’ eighth season, which premieres in July, will be just six episodes long.

-I really, really like this review of last night’s Big Little Liars, especially the part about how a lot of male reviewers are dismissing it using gendered terms like “soapy” and “trashy” because it focuses on rich, white folks.  (One of my fave TV critics leveled a similar critique of it on a recent podcast and then he proceeded to talk breathlessly for 20 minutes about The Young Pope. True story.)

-TMZ staffers are reportedly “grossed out” by Harvey Levin‘s close ties to Trump.

–John Barrowman’s birthday party seemed…nice. I wonder if I can convince Stephen Amell to wear that to mine?

-Lots of surprises are coming out of SXSW this week. Terrence Malick‘s Song to Song, starring Ryan Gosling, Rooney Mara and Michael Fassbender, is getting trashed, with EW calling it “a humiliating wreck of a movie” and Variety is suggesting “Malick might want to consider another lengthy hiatus.”

-Meanwhile, The Disaster Artist (James Franco‘s movie about the making of Tommy Wiseau’s 2003 cult favorite The Room starring himself, Dave Franco, Seth Rogen, Judd Apatow, Zac Efron, and Alison Brie), is getting raves, with THR calling it “wildly funny,” Indiewire deeming it an “exuberant buddy comedy,” and multiple film critics predicting that Franco will get an Oscar nomination for it.

-Also getting a lot of head at SXSW is Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver, starring Ansel Elgort. The trailer certainly intrigues me.

-Wonder Woman gets an origin story in the new trailer.
