Chris Evans Says Goodbye To Captain America

chris evans avengers captain america

–Chris Evans covers the new issue of the Hollywood Reporter, where he talks about saying goodbye to the Avengers (“It’s a really obnoxious notion for an actor to say they’re going to retire — it’s not something you retire from”), what he’s looking for in a relationship (“I really like to be with someone who also has their own thing to do as well, you know? If I’m with someone who just kind of adopts my life, that can feel a bit suffocating”) and why he’ll never stop shit-talking Trump on Twitter (“You don’t want to alienate half your audience. But I’d be disappointed in myself if I didn’t speak up”).

-Sources are telling People that Colin Jost and Scarlett Johansson are talking about marriage. I don’t understand life.

–Justin Bieber is having a rough week. The poor kid announced that he’s taking a break from music for his mental health, and now a woman was arrested after barging into his hotel room.

–Beyonce helped Diana Ross celebrate her 75th with an impromptu serenade of “Happy Birthday.”

-The NYT’s 10 Things I Hate About You oral history just made this week 1000% better.

–Seth Rogen is launching a Canadian cannabis company, which is very on brand.

–Sandra Oh‘s SNL promos are very cute. Also, Russian Doll bangs are a thing now, huh?

-Speaking of Russian Doll, the show’s Charlie Barnett just landed a spot on season two of You.

-I like this profile on Jordan Peele. MadTV’s producers wouldn’t let him out of his contract to be on SNL, he says he locked himself in a room & started smoking a lot of weed, plotting his revenge, “like a comic book supervillain.”

-People are sooo mad at Jezebel’s very bad take on Jagged Little Pill. (Alanis Morissette is probably too busy to care. She just announced she’s expecting her third kid.)

-I like this piece about how stressful TV is now because you can now longer just be a viewer; you must be a preacher, a soldier and a campaign strategist to keep your show alive.

-This is a really good recap on what we know about the Jussie Smollett saga. I still think its weird that he agreed to not get back his $10k bond.

-There’s a Sex and the City sequel in the works because Hollywood has no new ideas.

-I did way too well on the quiz about whether it’s a TV ship name or a prescription drug. (Also, I didn’t know that The Walking Dead’s Glenn and Maggie ship name was Gleggie. They deserved better.)

-Barry returns to HBO Sunday and the second season is reportedly even better than the first. I don’t know how that’s possible, but I’ll take it.

-Villanelle escapes the hospital in the final Killing Eve trailer.

-Netflix has a new show coming out about disabled gay man played by an actual disabled gay man — and it looks delightful!

Bradley Cooper Joined Lady Gaga Onstage for Surprise Duet

–Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper were shut out of the SAGs, but they made up for it when he joined her on stage in Vegas for a surprise duet of “Shallow.”

-The SAG Awards were a pretty low-key affair last night, but at least the red carpet was pretty.

-In case you missed last night’s telecast, the best speeches are here: from Chadwick Boseman and Sandra Oh.

-This is Us won best TV ensemble, but really I’d rather watch Sterling K Brown and his wife’s victory clap than another episode of that show.

-Though Black Panther won the top prize at the SAGs, it doesn’t change much for the Oscars because it doesn’t tend to be a great predictor.  The SAG winner has gone on to win the best picture Oscar in only 11 of 23 years. It’s still probably Roma vs Green Book.

-Wait, now the Oscars might drop Best Cinematography from the telecast? Come on!

–Liam Hemsworth talked about his “spur-of-the-moment” wedding to Miley Cyrus.

-Yay for Mindy Kaling! Her new movie Late Night broke Sundance records when it was bought for $13M by Amazon Studios. I love how she talked about it: “I wrote it for Emma Thompson. A person I did not know! So I was just this creep in my home writing fan fiction movie for me and Emma Thompson, a woman I don’t know, hoping she would one day read it.”

-The four-hour Michael Jackson documentary premiered to a standing ovation at Sundance, and his estate is already fighting back.

–Freida Pinto says L’Oreal lightened her skin in an ad campaign. “I said to my agent after the first controversy that I would like to see the pictures before, and I would like to be able to question them on colour correction.”

-Last night’s Rent Live wasn’t actually live because the guy who played Roger broke his foot at the second dress rehearsal and apparently they’ve never heard of understudies or wheelchair. It ended up getting the lowest ratings ever for a live musical so far.

-Who needs to wait for the Super Bowl to see the ads? Here is Cardi B’s Pepsi ad, while Carrie Bradshaw and The Dude return in a Stella Artois ad. (Because of course Carrie would drink beer?!?)

–Diane Kruger says Norman Reedus has been teaching her a lot about how to stay calm as a parent.

-Freeform is teaming with Laurence Fishburne to tell the story of Black Panther Party leader Elaine Brown and her daughter, Ericka Suzanne. The Gilmore Girls-meet-The Black Panthers pitch has me intrigued.

-I’m glad Netflix picked up Brie Larson‘s directorial debut, Unicorn Store. It got mixed reviews at TIFF but people seemed harsher to it than they needed to be.

–Naomi Campbell‘s cover of British Vogue is everything!

–Greg Berlanti, with a record 15 scripted series currently on the air, just landed his third pilot order of the season and his first at Fox. I mean, I love a lot of his shows but my god give someone else a shot, Hollywood!

-I’m not sure how I feel about Barry getting a season 2 (mostly because I adored how the first season ended), but this trailer is good.

-The only thing I know about Birds of Prey is from the CW which is … uh… not good. So I appreciated this explainer, because this teaser has me very excited. Chris Messina’s hair alone bought my ticket.

 

Miley Cyrus Shuts Down Pregnancy Rumours

–Miley Cyrus shut down pregnancy rumours with an ode to the record-breaking egg.

-Celebs can’t get enough of the 10 Year Challenge, but Mariah Carey wins it all with her caption: “time is not something I acknowledge. 🤷‍♀”

–Cardi B posted an IG video on the government shutdown: “I feel like we need to take some action. I don’t know what type of action, bitch, because that’s not what I do. But, bitch, I’m scared.” Chris Evans was loving it.

–Rihanna is reportedly teaming up with the luxury brand LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton to launch her own fashion house.

–Joe Alwyn has no plans to talk about his relationship with Taylor Swift in the press: “I don’t think anyone you meet on the streets would just spill their guts out to you, therefore why should I? And then that is defined as being ‘strangely private.’ Fine. But I don’t think it is. I think it’s normal.”

–Kevin McKidd recounted his ‘tearful’ post-Golden Globes reunion with former Grey’s Anatomy co-star Sandra Oh: “We hugged for a long, long time.”

-Riverdale’s Camila Mendes and Charles Melton are dating in real life — and now their characters are hooking up on the show.

-Whoa, Khloe Kardashian is unrecognizable now.

–Louis C.K. hit the stage again and continued to double down on masturbation jokes, telling the crowd: “I like to jerk off, and I don’t like to be alone.” So, that’s swell.

-A small business owner blasted Goop for the way they treated her after asked if they could sell her tarot cards on their site — and then stopped paying her.

–Goldie Hawn revealed that she got a little TOO close for comfort during Kate Hudson’s recent birthing experience, prompting the doctor to say “Goldie, if you get any closer, you’re going to fall in!”

-I like this piece on performers that should get an Oscar nod on Tuesday morning but probably won’t. Brian Tyree Henry was only in If Beale Street Could Talk for 5 minutes, but I really want him to Judi Dench this thing.

–Ernie Hudson says the original Ghostbusters cast is “in” for Jason Reitman‘s sequel.

-Netflix is claiming that it’s “revealing” the viewership for shows like You, Sex Education and more, but this is all kinds of shady.  They say Sex Education is on pace to be watched by 40 million member households within its first month — but it’s only been airing for 12 days.

-Meanwhile, I just started watching Sex Education and it’s a delight.

–Ryan Reynolds‘ birthday tweet to Betty White is very adorable.

-Ohh, I had no idea that The Kid Who Would Be King is from the director who did Attack the Block. Now I’m intrigued!

–Keanu Reeves has a price on his head in the John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum trailer. They had me at samurai swords on motorcycles.
