Ryan Reynolds Rehabs Peleton

–Ryan Reynolds and his ad agency pulled together that Peleton ad in response to And Just Like That in only 48 hours. Reynolds did a quick Aviation Gin ad when that cringey holiday Peloton commercial went viral a couple years ago, so it makes sense that they would come to him for some instant brand rehabilitation. (Don’t watch if you’re not caught up with the Sex and the City revival, obvs.)

–Tom Holland and Zendaya are super cute here, talking about how they can’t be in the kitchen at the same time because her cooking style is haphazard, while he likes to precisely follow recipes.

–Britney Spears posted a bunch of screengrabs of her notes app which contained basically stream of conscious thoughts about hot chocolate and Christmas shopping, but she did make some pointed comments about her infamous 2003 interview with Diane Sawyer.

-I’m not sure what the baby bar exam is, but Kim Kardashian says she passed it.

-God, that Succession finale was so good. I kept thinking about how Kieran Culkin said he and Jeremy Strong disagree about whether the show is a comedy or a drama, and how that scene in the parking lot perfectly embodied that.

-Meanwhile, Jeremy Strong‘s celeb friends keep rushing to “defend” him over that completely innocuous magazine profile. Aaron Sorkin, Adam Mckay and Anne Hathaway weighed in over the weekend, which inadvertently kept it in the news cycle. Are stars really so far removed from the profiles of 10-20 years ago that they think any article that isn’t incredibly fawning is a hit piece? That New Yorker profile did more to humanize Strong than any other interview I’ve read with him. Does everyone in Hollywood forget when celebs weren’t media trained within an inch of their lives, and profiles weren’t just PR fluff pieces? They should all revisit Jennifer Lopez’s 1998 Movieline interview (in which she slams Gwyneth Paltrow, Cameron Diaz, and more) to remember how these things used to go.

-Everyone’s guessing Adam Mckay and Will Ferrell for this blind item, which seems crazy.

-Any movie that isn’t a superhero flick seems to be struggling at the box office (and we are, after all, still in a pandemic) but West Side Story’s returns were bad enough to surprise people.

–Olivia Colman inadvertently mocked Jack Whitehall’s acting when they both appeared on the Graham Norton Show. God, I love her.

–Keanu Reeves also appeared on that episode of GNS — and forgot the name of the movie he was promoting.

-Meanwhile, Keanu Reeves and his Bill & Ted costar Alex Winter has a double date this weekend.

–Armie Hammer’s lawyer told People: “I can confirm that Mr. Hammer has left the treatment facility and is doing great.”

-The Ben Affleck/Ana de Armas erotic thriller Deep Water is being released after all. It’s coming to Hulu in the US and Amazon Prime elsewhere. Does this mean they get to skip the awkward press tour?

-I missed this video of Adele doing a makeup tutorial with NikkieTutorials. I love this as a promo tour stop!

–Elon Musk was named TIME’s ‘Person of the Year’ and nobody is happy about it.

–Drake and Kanye West put their beef aside to forces for a much-anticipated benefit concert in Los Angeles last week — and everyone was talking about how Ye outshined Drake.

-It’s interesting to see Station Eleven make some Best of 2021 TV lists, seeing as it just debuts this week.

-I watched The Hating Game this weekend and was pleasantly surprised, given the buildup I had in my head. And the reviews are good!

–Susan Sarandon is the queen of country music in the trailer for Fox’s Monarch.

-The gang returns to Hogwarts in the first full trailer for Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore.

Olivia Wilde Talks Harry Styles in Vogue

 

olivia wilde vogue

–Olivia Wilde is on the cover of Vogue to promote … well, I don’t know what she’s promoting, but she vaguely references her relationship with Harry Styles. “It’s obviously really tempting to correct a false narrative. But I think what you realize is that when you’re really happy, it doesn’t matter what strangers think about you. All that matters to you is what’s real, and what you love, and who you love.”

–Madonna‘s daughter Lourdes Leon is on the cover of Paper.

–Miley Cyrus and Pete Davidson revealed they got matching tattoos after doing an SNL episode together in 2017.

-HBO is in initial talks to reboot Six Feet Under. That show has what is universally acknowledged to be one of the best series finales ever; why risk tainting that legacy?

–Tom Holland started a WhatsApp group chat with fellow Spider-Men Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. Gee, I wonder on which set they became friends??

-This story is SO WEIRD: police bodycam video recorded on Jan. 4, 2021, shows Kanye West’s publicist telling a Georgia election worker who Trump falsely accused of manipulating votes that she was in imminent danger. The publicist, Trevian Kutti, who’s a Trump supporter, urged the election worker to confess to fraud and seemed to threaten her and her family.

–Florence Pugh claimed on her Instagram Story that she had been blocked from posting about her appearance on a Marvel show, which is weird. Is Disney controlling Instagram?

-Ghosts feels like the only network hit to come out of the fall shows. They’ve released bloopers from the first season.

-Peloton had to put out a statement after their product was featured in a shocking plot twist in the Sex and the City reboot. IYKYK.

-I think releasing just two eps of the reboot was a mistake because the first couple are so dour, depressing, and trying too hard to fix past representation mistakes (my friend and I literally fast-forwarded every scene with Miranda and her prof because it was too cringe), but according to critics the next two episodes are more in line with the tone of the original series.

–Mike Flanagan’s next Netflix series just added 20 new cast members, including Midnight Mass’ Samantha Sloyan and Rahul Kohli.

-Cowboy Bebop had so much hype before it debuted, but Netflix has already canceled the anime adaptation after one season.

–Jussie Smollett has been convicted on charges he staged a hate crime against himself in 2019 and then lied to police about it.

-Here’s the trailer for HBO’s Lakers show (aka the reason that Will Ferrell and Adam McKay are no longer friends).

–Kristen Bell stars in a satirical series that takes aim at psychological thrillers in the awkwardly (but hilariously) titled The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window.

Tom Holland and Zendaya’s Height Difference

–Tom Holland and Zendaya continue to be adorable together on the Spider-Man promo tour. They appeared together on the Graham Norton Show and talked about the difficulty of joint stunts due to their height difference.

-Meanwhile, Tom Holland says he’ll play Fred Astaire in a film, which sounds like perfect casting.

-After receiving two nominations for the 2022 Grammy Awards, Drake has withdrawn his nominations, and now are not visible on his artist page on the Grammys’ website. No one is really sure why, but he spoke out about The Weeknd’s snub last year.

-NY magazine’s profile on Succession star Jeremy Strong is an interesting read — mostly because everyone who’s quoted sounds like they don’t like him very much, which is unusual in a big profile like this. Usually you get some non-critical words from costars, even if it’s just about their talent or dedication if they don’t want to get into their personality. But it sounds like everyone thinks he’s a miserable presence on and off set. Is that why he’s so good in this role — because he’s just playing a version of himself?

-Meanwhile, I can’t quite believe that the ending of last night’s Succession is to believed, but if that turns out to be true, it’s gonna be a WILD finale this weekend.

-In his new GQ profile, Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus talks about accidentally revealing his cancer diagnosis on social media, renewing his faith, healing his old friendships, and being reminded of what makes life worth living.

–George Clooney says he once turned down $35 million for one day’s work on an airline ad over because of its country’s “questionable” practices.

–Grimes wrote a breakup song about Elon Musk.

-For Vanity Fair, Mo Ryan talked at length with Jeff Garlin about his HR investigations on The Goldbergs, and power imbalances. It’s rare to have a celeb be confronted with these types of questions and not walk away (though there were times he clearly wanted to), but I don’t love how often he dismissed the allegations as “my silliness” or “my process.”

-This is a very good piece questioning why Hollywood is still hiring raging anti-Semite Mel Gibson?

–Chris Noth weighed in on Kim Cattrall’s rumoured feud with Sarah Jessica Parker — and it sounds like he’s on Team Parker. “I do know that I’m very close with SJ and [Cattrall’s] descriptions of her don’t even come close. I liked her, I thought she was marvelous in the show and some people move on for their own reasons. I don’t know what hers were. I just wish that whole thing had never happened because it was sad and uncomfortable…I just don’t like to see anyone talking down about SJ because she’s a target and people can be nasty. I feel very protective of her and I was not happy about that.”

-Its xmas pop song time: Ed Sheeran and Elton John released a new festive track and video, while John Legend unveiled his new holiday single.

–JLo released a new video for “On My Way.”
