Brad Pitt Gets the Spotlight at Frank Ocean Concert

–Brad Pitt made a surprise appearance at Frank Ocean’s concert and I have SO MANY QUESTIONS. (Was this a statement? Art? Did he even know he was on screen? Somebody tell me!!)

-I didn’t understand Ayra‘s “that’s not you” line to her direwolf on GoT last night but now that I read the explanation I’m crying.

-Sorry, One Direction fans: Louis Tomlinson has shut down rumors of a romance with Harry Styles.

–Lena Dunham referred to Jack Antonoff’s sibling as her “sister-in-law” on Instagram, and then had to deny speculation that she got married.

-I really, really liked this thread responding to Christopher Nolan‘s Netflix comments.

-I guess this is Kevin Hart’s response to those cheating allegations?

-Girls Trip (which I liked A LOT) had the biggest opening weekend for a live-action comedy this year despite its R rating, and already earned back what it cost to make. Add the fact that Wonder Woman and Beauty and the Beast are the year’s top-grossing films so far, and the box office is looking downright rosy for women-led flicks.

-The “friend from work” line in Thor: Ragnarok (aka – the best line in the entire trailer) was actually pitched by a Make-a-Wish kid who was visiting the set the day they shot that scene.

-In news that came out of ComicCon, Michelle Pfeiffer is joining the Ant Man sequel, Patty Jenkins has weirdly not signed on to Wonder Woman 2 yet, Henry Cavill’s mustache is causing problems for Justice League, and Ben Affleck insists WB isn’t replacing him (“‘We want you to be the Batman’ they told me, and I believe them.”) Also, I would *love* to know which TV cast was yelling at each other before their TV Line interview.

-Speaking of TV casts behaving badly at the con, the Supergirl crew really stepped in it while doing a musical recap of their season, in which they mocked fans who ship Kara and Lena.  I still need to catch up on that show, but this seemed incredibly mean-spirited. Who cares if the writers will never have Supergirl hook up with a woman onscreen? Let people watch for whatever reason they like and/or hope for whatever outcome they want.  The fact that they were mocking a marginalized group that has really embraced that show made it even worse. The cast’s apologies were not great (gotta love the “I’m sorry but think about ME” tactic).  Jeremy Jordan‘s first note was especially victim-y, but at least he got it right on the second try.

-Everyone is talking about this adorable video of the little girl crying over the Justice League cast, but I like this video of Jason Momoa meeting the little kid who asked about Superman during the panel.

-So much trailer goodies dropped at ComicCon this weekend. On the TV side, we got trailers for the new seasons of Stranger Things, The Flash, Arrow, Supergirl, Doctor Who’s xmas special, Legends of Tomorrow, Westworld, Lucifer, Once Upon a Time, Preacher, and The Defenders.

-On the movie side, we got Justice League, Thor: Ragnaraok, Black Panther, and Spielberg‘s Ready Player One. (Also, this video of the Black Panther cast reacting to seeing the trailer for their first time is pretty swell.)

Kirsten Dunst and Sofia Coppola Talk Sexism in Hollywood

kirsten-dunst-sofia-variety-cover

-Look, I’m always here for females in Hollywood calling out the industry’s sexiest BS. But this cover story with Kirsten Dunst and Sofia Coppola is a little…odd. Like, when Dunst complains that she got “paid a lot of money for the Spider-Man movies but definitely the men were getting paid more”? Um, did she expect Tobey Maguire-level pay on that one?

-There’s a Justice League rumor that extensive reshoots have completely “remade” the movie, which doesn’t bode well.

-This is why British awards shows are so much better than ours. Look at the loser’s face at the 0:47 mark. Priceless!

–Blake Lively is going to play a single-mom-turned-cage-fighter in a new movie directed by the guy who did The Notebook. I don’t understand how a lot of those words work in the same sentence.

–Dave Chappelle is now trying to take back what he said on SNL about how we should all give Donald Trump. “I f—ed up. Sorry.”

–Mo’Nique claims she was “whiteballed” by Lee Daniels, Tyler Perry, and Oprah. Is that a thing?

-A spinoff of The Young Pope is coming to HBO? Why? Has anyone even mentioned that show after it premiered?

-Fox’s trailer of Ghosted with Adam Scott and Craig Robinson made me laugh.

-Here are the new ABC fall trailers. The Gospel of Kevin looks cute, but that might be my Jason Ritter blinders talking. It’s also great to see Jenna Fischer back on the small screen.

-ABC also confirmed that Katy Perry will be a judge on their revival of American Idol, and that Roseanne Barr, John Goodman, Sara Gilbert, Laurie Metcalf and Sarah Chalke are all coming back for the Roseanne reboot (despite a very tepid reaction from the upfronts crowd). They also announced that Marvel’s Inhumans will air on Friday nights with Agents of Shield which doesn’t sound good — although to be fair, the Friday “death slot” isn’t really a thing anymore. ABC’s Tuesdays-at-10 time period seems more of a death sentence.

-Speaking of TV, here’s a look at the current season in 5 really depressing charts. EVERY network show has dropped in the ratings except for The Bachelor, of all things.

–Jimmy Kimmel is going to host the Oscars again next year. Sigh.

–Supergirl’s next episode is call “Nevertheless, She Persisted”? Now I want to catch up on that show…

–Emma Stone and Steve Carell square off in the first trailer for the Billie Jean King movie Battle Of The Sexes.

Our First Look at The Flash, Supergirl Musical Crossover

flash-supergirl-musical

-These photos from The Flash/Supergirl musical crossover have me excited even though I’ve cooled on TF. I always forget the guy who plays Winn is a legit Broadway star (which is weird because I’ve seen The Last Five Years a bunch, but he doesn’t even seem like the same person in that).  Also, this episode is going to make me ‘ship Barry and Kara, which is probably the opposite of the point. Oopsie!

–Tom Hiddleston asked “what should I regret?” when questioned about his romance with Taylor Swift. The tank top, Tom. The correct answer is always the tank top.

–George Michael‘s cause of death has been released: he died of natural causes due to liver and heart disease.

–Michelle Yeoh will star as Eleanor Young in Crazy Rich Asians. I’m really liking how this adaptation is shaping up so far.

-Can you imagine any other actor getting this into their ADR? Bless Hugh Jackman.

-I liked this article on how “stepping out” — a phrase describing nothing at all — took over celebrity gossip.  Now do one on “shows off” (as in “Actress shows off her baby bump!”) and “canoodling”!

-CW just renewed Riverdale, which I’m increasingly liking (especially when it leans into the ridiculous mystery). The only issue? Archie is dead weight. He’s the new Dawson.

-A new Fleet Foxes song? Yeah, I’ll take that.

-Costars who work out together stay together? (Also, watching Stephen Amell struggle to stay on the stability ball makes me feel better about falling off one last week and landing on my face…)

-Even Milo Ventimiglia doesn’t think there needs to be more Gilmore Girls episodes.

-I love this article on the five things you probably missed when watching Get Out.

-Lainey has more photos of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at their friend’s wedding.

–Emma Watson revealed that she used to ruin tons of takes on the Harry Potter movies because she couldn’t stop mouthing her costars’ lines.
