-The Houston police has declared Travis Scott‘s Astroworld festival a “mass casualty event” after 8 people died and hundreds were injured (including a 9-year-old) after the crowd surged forward during his headlining set and security did not stop the show for 40 minutes. Videos of the audience trying to alert the crew and being ignored are heartbreaking.

–Scott has cancelled his upcoming festival appearances as the lawsuits begin to pour in. Drake, who made a guest appearance at the festival, has also been named in one suit.

–Emily Ratajkowski talked about her new book with the Sunday Times, saying that the exploitation of young women is still common in modeling (“I was not at all shocked by [the Jeffrey Epstein] story. I witnessed so much of that in different forms”), revealed that her teenage boyfriend ‘forced himself’ on her when she was 14 (“So many young women I know, their first early sexual experiences border on nonconsensual”), and said modeling gave her a complex relationship with her body (“There is this sense of your body is not yours, it’s ours. In this contract you’ve given it up to be used how we see fit… If you’re not willing to do what the client wants you to do with your body, then there’s somebody else who will be”).

–Bennifer packed on the pre-flight PDA this weekend.

–Emilio Estevez is pushing back on a report that he’s not doing season two of Mighty Ducks because he refuses to follow the show’s vaccine mandate. He blames his departure on “contract disputes” and “creative differences” and says he contracted covid in March 2020 and suffers from long haul symptoms. Interestingly, his statement doesn’t say anything about him being vaccinated.

-Production on Black Panther 2 has halted due to Letitia Wright‘s experiencing an “onset injury.”

–Isaiah Washington tweeted about how he’d be happy to return to Grey’s and play the lead, as long as Ellen Pompeo was “finally gone”. This is unhinged.

–Will Smith reportedly gave the best wrap gift ever to his King Richard costars: cold, hard cash.

-I saw Eternals this weekend and while it wasn’t my fave Marvel movie, it certainly wasn’t as bad as Iron Man 2 or some of the Thor or Hulk movies, despite getting worse reviews. This is a good piece on how Chloé Zhao may be being punished for playing the Marvel good soldier.

-After Eternals got banned in Saudi Arabia and more due to its openly gay superhero, Angelina Jolie responded: “I’m proud of Marvel for refusing to cut [gay] scenes out…How anybody is angry about it, threatened by it, doesn’t approve or appreciate it is ignorant.”

-Speaking of Eternals, I really liked Chloé Zhao’s answer about Kumail Nanjiani‘s character’s decision, which I don’t think I’ve ever seen in a superhero film before. (I did not, however, agree with her answer about referencing a real-life tragedy in the film.)

–Paul Rudd and Will Ferrell‘s new Apple show Shrink Next Door is getting good reviews.

Is Jennifer Garner Engaged?

–Jennifer Garner hosted Judy Greer on Instagram Live to talk about sobriety and the whole convo was interesting (she calls her pal “J-Gers”), but all anyone can talk about is the sparkler on her ring finger.

–Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson were spotted out together yet again, this time at a NYC private club. I have no idea what’s going on with these two, but if we know about this, it’s because she wants us to know about this.

-Meanwhile, this piece on Pete Davidson being a rare straight male muse is fascinating. “Davidson has carved out a niche for himself as a master of the fleeting engagement: the person you meet on an app, see for a few months, then part ways with as though you’d never met. His flings resemble the sorts of ephemeral attachments that many of his fans are likely most familiar with. More common than love, quite possibly a waste of time, with the potential to be much more destructive, but hard to avoid, if you don’t want to be alone.”

–Cardi B and Kal Penn‘s twitter exchange about her officiating his wedding is hella cute.

-Meanwhile, Johnson’s Netfllix movie with Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot is at 37% rotten.

–Nicholas Braun talks to The Guardian on coming to terms with his life-changing role as Cousin Greg on Succession.

–Shailene Woodley‘s name trended on Twitter yesterday when it was revealed her fiancé Aaron Rodgers isn’t vaccinated — because god forbid we hold grown ass men responsible for their own actions when we can blame it on their partners.

-In a new memoir, Natalie Wood’s sister Lana claims that Kirk Douglas sexually assaulted Natalie when she was a teenager.

-The Hating Game is my fave romcom book, and the trailer for its adaptation has arrived! I wish Robbie Amell hadn’t had to drop out of this, because I’m not convinced of the chemistry based on the trailer, but I’m still going to watch the shit out of this.

Shailene Woodley Talks Engagement to Aaron Rodgers

 

 

Shailene Woodley covers THR,

–Shailene Woodley covers THR, and says she and Aaron Rodgers were engaged a while before announcing it. “When we announced that we were engaged, we wanted to do that only because we didn’t want someone else to do it before we did,” Woodley says. “And we didn’t do it for months and months after we had become engaged, but the reaction to it was really a lot, and so we were like, ‘Let’s just politely decline [to talk about the relationship] for a little while and live in our little bubble.'” I’m not sure why she’d want to reintroduce speculation about their relationship timeline when it had finally died down, but here we are again.
