Taylor Swift Wins Big at the Brits

-The Brits are taking place right now, and Taylor Swift just became the first woman and youngest artist ever to win the Global Icon award.

-This excerpt from Seth Rogen‘s new book about his encounter with Tom Cruise reminds us that he really does have some harmful and damaging beliefs, and yet he’s like teflon when it comes to anything bad sticking on his reputation.

-Meanwhile, if someone had told me this first picture is of Seth Rogen I wouldn’t have believed them.

-According to TMZ, Ben Affleck began emailing Jennifer Lopez in early February, shortly after his breakup with Ana de Armas (but when she was still engaged to ARod).

–Ed Norton is the latest addition to the Knives Out 2 cast. I hope all the characters have wildly different accents.

-When the controversy erupted over Chris D’Elia, director Zack Snyder decided to digitally scrub him from every scene of Army of the Dead during postproduction — and swap in Tig Notaro.

-Prodigal Son has been canceled after two seasons at Fox, and the internet is surprisingly sad about it.

–Chloe Zhao writes fan fiction? I wonder what her AO3 handle is?

–Paul Bettany once pitched A Knight’s Tale sequel: “William and Jocelyn have a daughter and she wants to get into jousting… You follow this woman who’s 18 or 20 years old as she seeks out his friends for help.” I want this.

–Mickey Rourke is a newly converted Law & Order: SVU fan, and his Instagram post about it is spectacular.

-Look, I get why Theo James isn’t coming back to Sanditon. The show was dead in the water and he’d probably lined up other work before its surprise renewal. But I hate his statement about why he’s leaving: “I’ve always maintained that his journey concluded as I wanted it to. The broken fairy-tale like ending between Charlotte and Sidney is different, unique and so interesting to me.” Buddy, you were playing the lead in a Jane Austen adaptation. If you didn’t realize that it would end up as a HEA, you failed to do the required reading.

–John Mulaney is performing a comedy residency this week, and it sounds like he doesn’t shy away from the tough subjects, saying at one point “When I’m alone I’m with someone who tried to kill me.” He also revealed that his intervention involved Seth Meyers, Nick Kroll, Fred Armisen, Natasha Lyonne, and Bill Hader.

-It seems every cast member who’s ever been on Grey’s Anatomy is returning for guest spots, but when asked if she’d thought about it, Sandra Oh said “Oh my gosh, no.”

–Barry Jenkins‘ The Underground Railroad adaptation is getting incredible raves, with the only criticism seeming to be that Amazon is doing it a disservice by dropping it all at once because it’s so dense and overwhelming.

-Here’s the trailer for David Lowery’s Arthurian tale The Green Knight, starring Dev Patel.

–Matt Damon fights to get his daughter out of jail in the Stillwater trailer.

Bennifer Rises!

-Bennifer is back, baby! 17 years after calling off their engagement, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were spotted on a romantic vacation in Montana.

-So the Golden Globes are pretty much dead, huh? Netflix kicked things off on Friday by announcing they were “stopping any activities” with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association until changes were made about their lack of diversity, and Amazon quickly followed suit. Then today, NBC announced it wouldn’t air the show next year, stars like Scarlett Johansson, Ava DuVernay and Mark Ruffalo called them out, and Tom Cruise GAVE BACK the awards he’s won over the years as a sign of protest. (Hopefully we’ll finally get justice for Brendan Fraser.)

–John Mulaney and his wife Annamarie Tendler are splitting up after six years of marriage — and it seems like it was his decision. In a statement to People via her rep, she said “I am heartbroken that John has decided to end our marriage. I wish him support and success as he continues his recovery.”

–Gal Gadot says Joss Whedon treated her badly on the Justice League set: “He kind of threatened my career and said if I did something, he would make my career miserable. I handled it on the spot.” That lines up with what a source told the Hollywood Reporter in their exposĂ© about it: “Joss was bragging that he’s had it out with Gal. He told her he’s the writer and she’s going to shut up and say the lines and he can make her look incredibly stupid in this movie.”

–Aubrey Plaza confirmed that she’s married to her longtime boyfriend Jeff Baena — and the internet was weirdly mad about it.

-I really loved this interview with Sierra Teller Ornelas, the Native co-creator of Rutherford Falls.

-He was asked about it when promoting his new memoir, which is getting rave reviews.

-Grey’s Anatomy has been renewed — but Jesse Williams is leaving the show. (Though he and Sarah Drew teased a spinoff about their characters.)

–Helen Mirren is helping Italy’s vaccination effort with a viral video.

-There’s an oral history of Tom Holland‘s performance of “Umbrella”!

-Amid all the controversy about Doctor Who actor Noel Clarke, his costar John Barrowman has apologized for repeatedly exposing himself on set. I remember the Arrow cast talking about him doing this all the time like it was a funny joke. David Boreanaz used to brag about doing this on the Buffy set, too.

-In case you missed this wildly depressing news last week, LaKeith Stanfield moderated a Clubhouse chat dedicated to anti-Semitic conspiracy theories where Jews were repeatedly compared to Satanists and termites.

–Dave Bautista is set to join the cast of Knives Out 2.

-I’m not sure why the New York Post thinks Leonardo DiCaprio looks unrecognizable in the first photos of the new Scorsese film. He looks like he always does? (The replies to their tweet are hilarious.)

-Actually unrecognizable is Lily James as Pamela Anderson. Sebastian Stan as Tommy Lee still looks like Sebastian Stan, though.

–Woody Harrelson’s Carnage battles Tom Hardy in the new Venom 2 trailer.

Doja-Cat-V-Magazine

–SZA interviewed Doja Cat for V Magazine. The interview is good but the photos freak me out…

–A new clip from Meghan Markle‘s chat with Oprah has been released and it focuses on why she’s “ready to talk” now. When asked why she turned down Oprah’s interview request during her engagement, she said, “We’re on the other side of a lot of life experience that’s happened. We have the ability to make our own choices in a way that I couldn’t have said ‘yes’ to [earlier]. That wasn’t my choice to make.” She added, “As an adult who lived a really independent life to then go into this construct that is different than I think what people imagine it to be, it’s really liberating to be able to have the right and the privilege in some ways to be able to say, ‘Yes, I’m ready to talk,’ to be able to just make a choice on your own, and to be able to just speak for yourself.”

-Meanwhile, the creator of Suits and her costar Patrick J Adams have jumped to Markle’s defense.

–Lil Nas X just delivered the ultimate “This you?” After Tekashi 6ix9ine posted a homophobic joke, Nas X responded with screenshots of Tekashi sliding into his DMs.

-This is why I can’t commit to any more shows on The CW. Despite debuting to great ratings and already being renewed, Superman & Lois will going on hiatus after its 4th episode — and not come back until the middle of MAY.

-I already adore The Good Fight — and now Mandy Patinkin has joined the cast!

-I haven’t watched the WandaVision finale yet, but I like this piece on how its weekly release schedule created a deeper relationship between the audience and the show. It feels like the first “watercooler show” since Game of Thrones.
