Tom Holland’s Got Moves

–Tom Holland does ballet? What can’t this kid do?

–Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello stepped out for a very paparazzi-friendly brunch this weekend. Hmmm. (They were also spotted away from the paps enjoying a late-night snuggle, so either they’re legit or they’re very committed to selling it.)

–Sarah Jessica Parker says she once reported the inappropriate behavior of a male costar (a “very big movie star”) to her agent. Luckily, her agent didn’t ignore her. “Within hours everything had changed. He said to them, ‘If this continues, I have sent her a ticket, a one-way ticket out of this city and she will not be returning.'”

-This is an interesting look at why stars have no interest in hosting award shows anymore.

-I love that Princess Diana‘s sisters, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowes, were a big part of Archie’s christening.

-A co-star alleged actor Kip Pardue, who plays one of the dads in Marvel’s Runaways, masturbated without consent in front of her. SAG imposed a $6,000 fine, did not release the information to the industry and gave him the option of reducing the fine by 50% if he takes an online training course.

–Wendy Williams returned to her talk show and denied romantic involvement with 27-year-old Marc Tomblin, who she was photographed in June. She also talked about her recent “plant-based lunch” with Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, and Kris Jenner, and apologized for bailing on a dinner with Dr. Oz.

-Radiohead’s Thom Yorke stans Billie Eilish. He’s no fan of Sam Smith or Muse, tho.

–Ryan Reynolds is joining Dwayne Johnson and Gal Gadot in Red Notice, an art heist movie which is moving from Universal to Netflix.  It’ll be Neflix’s most expensive movie to date.

-I really enjoyed the new season of Stranger Things — but I don’t believe for a second that that ending will stick.

-Also, Robin is an great new addition to the show. Ethan Hawke (the actress’ dad) is so proud on Instagram.

-Jaden Smith launched a pop up vegan food truck to serve the homeless.

–Terry Crews is campaigning hard to play King Triton in the Little Mermaid live action adaptation, and I don’t hate it.

-A writer revealed that in 2002 she wrote a profile of Jeffrey Epstein for Vanity Fair that included a mother and her two daughters talking about his inappropriate interest in underage girls, but Graydon Carter cut that from the story. This guy had a ton of people in high places protecting him. Now that he’s locked up, everyone’s wondering if there’s going to be any blowback on his famous friends, who include Trump, Kevin Spacey, Bill Clinton, Chris Tucker and Prince Andrew. The fallout from this one might be huge.

–Renee Zellweger channels Judy Garland in the first full trailer for Judy, which feels less like a movie and more like a “for your consideration” reel.

–Angelina Jolie is back to being a baddie in the Maleficent 2 trailer.

Hamilton Rules The Tony Awards (and The World)

-Thanks to Hamilton, the Tony Awards delivered their best overnight ratings in 15 years. I’m still not sure why they chose to sing “Yorktown” instead of, say, “Wait for It,” but the Ham performance was still amazing, as was Lin-Manuel Miranda’s incredible speech-sonnet.

-Speaking of Hamilton, this is the best story about it I’ve ever read. And it’s on a sporting website. I don’t understand life.

-The Tony red carpet was all about yellow, floral prints, and Keri Russell‘s insane post-baby body. Seriously, she had a baby like, 9 minutes ago!

-Meanwhile, the best bits of the Tonys seemed to happen during the commercial breaks, like when Jake Gyllenhaal, Sean Hayes, and James Corden sang ‘A Whole New World.”

-This is a great deep dive into the behind-the-scenes workings on the UnREAL set, including the creator’s clashes with exec producer Marti Noxon, and the network’s insistence the show bring Jeremy back for season 2.

-This rumour was shot down earlier this year, but now it’s been confirmed: Nicole Kidman will star in the second season of Top of the Lake.

-This is a few weeks old but I missed it somehow: Natalie Morales awesomely reacted to The Grinder’s cancellation by Snapchatting herself sneaking onto the set and stealing stuff.

–Adele told the music producer who speculated that her recorded voice is manipulated to “suck my dick.” Bless.

-Crazy Ex-Girlfriends’ Rachel Bloom gets her “Teenage Dream” on in this new clip from Lip Sync Battle.

-Aw nuts. It looks like Amy Schumer and Tig Notaro are not friends IRL — despite what Schumer may think.

–Louis CK finally addressed that Gawker report that he harasses female comedians — by completely blowing it off. *sigh*
-Niceness in the midst of sadness: Adam Levine has offered to pay for Voice contestant Christina Grimmie’s funeral expenses.

-The perks of having Thom Yorke as a neighbour: he’ll performs an acoustic set at your garden party.

-Don’t mind me; I’m just crying over these Friday Night Lights reunion photos.

-It sounds like the ‘bury your tropes’ panel at ATX festival was problematic. The guy from The 100 and the woman from The Originals seem woke (and she followed up the panel with a great FB post), but some of the other panelists comments are troublesome. I’m so done with the ‘be grateful for what you get or you’ll get even less’ arguments.

-Why yes, I *would* like to watch Ugly Betty’s ATX reunion panel!

-Scary: a seizure reportedly force Lil Wayne to make an emergency landing.

-This year, the film industry is on pace to sell the fewest U.S. tickets per person of any year since perhaps before the 1920s and the fewest total tickets in two decades. It doesn’t help that streaming services are putting out the most interesting stuff, like this new feature starring Jason Segel and Rooney Mara.

-How is the plot of the new Harry Potter play not a joke? No, really.

-The first round of Emmy voting is now open, meaning we can all scan the Emmy ballot and see which episodes the actors and shows submit for consideration, which is always fascinating. The most head-scratching category this year is the writing one, in which my fave shows submitted a lot of my non-fave episodes. Does The Good Wife seriously think they’re putting their best foot forward with that terrible finale? Or “Canary Cry” on Arrow? Or “Babylon” on The X Files? Even The Americans’ choice to only submit their finale is odd; as amazing at it was, it didn’t compare to the one when Martha runs away or the one when Nina [redacted].

–Disney’s Moana trailer is all about The Rock’s eyebrows.

-I’m getting behind this new Game of Thrones theory (especially since the author’s Arya theory mostly panned out last night).

-Allow John Oliver to explain everything that’s wrong with your retirement plan.
