The Rock Drops Best Blind Item Ever

The Rock Instagram blind item

-The Rock posted a blind item on Instagram that  put everyone on the internet in instant detective mode last night. The majority of people immediately assumed he was talking about his new costar Scott Eastwood, but I’m not so sure. His opening comment about how “no other franchise gets my blood boiling more than this one” makes me think it’s one of his longtime costars. Plus he uses “candy ass,” his signature phrase which Eastwood also referenced in his douchey Esquire interview. Also, The Rock has tweeted nice things about him in the past. ONTD’s sleuthers have narrowed it down to Vin (noooo!!!) or Tyrese (more likely).

-Here’s more about Seth Rogen‘s comments on Katherine Heigl. He’s waiting for a personal apology?! Look, it was not her smartest career move but the movie had already come out and if you look at what she actually said about Knocked Up… she’s not wrong. I liked that movie but damn if the women weren’t all depicted as shrews. And her comment wasn’t directed at him, so for him to still be butthurt about it stumps me. Also, The Rock is being celebrated for his post and that movie that hasn’t even been released yet. (And he *should* be celebrated for it! His post was awesome!) But the difference between how actresses and actors are allowed to be critical is glaring.

–Lady Gaga and Ray Liotta‘s reps have denied they’re a new item and I’ve never wanted to believe a publicist more.

–Tom Hiddleston is now on Instagram but weirdly, there’s no overly staged romantic photos yet. He’s doing it wrong!

-TIFF’s announcements continue to impress. Brie Larson, a Kaiju-fied Anne Hathaway and the Blair Witch Project are all coming to Midnight Madness.

–Julianne Moore is starring in a new TV series with Robert De Niro that’s being developed by David O. Russell and I already want to enclose her in protective bubble wrap.

–Taran Killam has been let go on SNL and this interview about it is kind of heartbreaking.

-This is amazing: thanks to Mo Ryan‘s piece in Variety last year about the lack of diversity on TV, FX’s John Landgraf took his network from 12% women and people of color directors in 2015 to 51% in 2016.

-It might turn out to be terrible, but this Prison Break revival clip has me all tingly.

-Speaking of dubious revivals, a year ago this tweet from David Duchovny to Gillian Anderson would have made me squeal. Now? Not so much.

-We are officially on Bon Iver album watch. Don’t do me like Frank Ocean, Bon!

-There was an N’SYNC reunion at J.C.’s 40th(!) birthday party. We’re old, y’all.

-The first trailer for Marvel’s next Netflix show Luke Cage shows his one weak spot. (Sadly, it’s not me.)

Kristen Stewart Talks About Girlfriend Alicia Cargile in Elle

–Kristen Stewart opens up about girlfriend Alicia Cargile in her Elle UK cover story, saying “We’ve broken up a couple of times and gotten back together, and this time I was like, ‘Finally, I can feel again.'” She also talks about the different reception she gets when dating a woman: “When I was dating a guy…we were turned into these characters and placed into this ridiculous comic book, and I was like, ‘That’s mine. You’re making my relationship something that it’s not.’ I didn’t like that. But then it changed when I started dating a girl.” (Also, I love the cover.)

-I tried to get through Jared Leto‘s Rolling Stone cover story. I really did. That’s gotta count for something, right?

-Meanwhile, Will Smith made the wise choice to NOT get a matching tattoo with his Suicide Squad cast members, but he was there to point and laugh.

-Also, Will and Margot Robbie did a really weird Suicide Squad press event here that I didn’t attend and am now regretting.

-Did the movie studio ban Tom Hiddleston from taking Taylor Swift to Comic Con? Hahahahahaha!

-This is a great interview with Lainey on the Summer of Swift.

-Here’s the first trailer for Marvel’s Legion series. It’s from the Fargo guys, so I’m intrigued.

-This deep-dive into Nancy’s fashion choices on Stranger Things is wonderful. (As is that show? Are you watching it? Surprise delight of the summer, especially now that Mr Robot and UnREAL are sophomore slumpin‘.)

-Also, this interview with the girl who plays Barb is great. #WeAreAllBarb

-The Flash actors are awash in racial missteps this week. First it was Grant Gustin, and now Ezra Miller created a “scene” about Darren Wilson. Sounds like it was well-intentioned but a bit tone-deaf.

-Even though I have no idea who this fashion YouTuber even is, I got lost in the #savemarinajoyce web last night. Twitter has basically constructed a giant yarn wall to figure this thing out.

–Lindsay Lohan posted an Instagram message, saying this weekend’s social media posts were due to her “acting out of fear and sadness.” (Subtext: “Also, look how great I look in this bikini!”)

–Jay Mohr has dropped his divorce petition from Nikki Cox — 6 days after filing it. Love lives, guys.

–Kate McKinnon being interviewed by a tiny Ghostbuster is the goddamn best.

-Spike TV is moving forward with its Carpool Karaoke ripoff, and has tapped Craig Robinson to host. I love him, but this is so weird.

–Martin Freeman and Adam Brody battle tech woes in the Startup trailer.

–Samantha Bee got into a Twitter fight with her own network. Bless her.

-The TCAs kicked off today, starting with Netflix, who announced Black Mirror will be released Oct 21.

-The big Netflix news is that all six hours of the Gilmore Girls reboot will land on Black Friday: Nov 25 (aka – the last day I will step foot outside of my living room). Along with the new trailer, they showed critics the first two minutes of the premiere, and it’s apparently full of fast banter (and a Gywneth burn). Meanwhile, Amy Schumer has already responded to her shout-out in the trailer, saying she’d love Lorelai and isn’t that into water sports.

-Speaking of McConaughey, this little girl recreated his car commercial in Barbie Jeep. Bless her.

-The Wire’s Michael K. Williams was a backup dancer for Ginuwine, which makes me ridiculously happy.

–Gwyneth Paltrow was at a makeup event at a store in my hood, and I got a glimpse of her (and a very blurry photo) when she and her burly security guard were leaving. Is this what it feels like to catch a Pokemon?

-Meanwhile, Gwyneth and Chris Martin are finally officially divorced consciously uncoupled.
