Reese Witherspoon Gets Goofy

reese witherspoon vanity fair

–Reese Witherspoon‘s Vanity Fair cover photo almost seems like an outtake — but I kind of love it. The actress said of the pic on Instagram: “When I first saw this cover, I thought, ‘Oh my goodness… what a goofball!’ But here I am captured, probably snort-laughing, in all my goofy glory!”

-In the interview, Reese talks about the #MeToo movement and what it was like as a child actor working with adults: “Bad things happened to me. I was assaulted, harassed. It wasn’t isolated. I recently had a journalist ask me about it. She said, Well, why didn’t you speak up sooner? And I thought, that’s so interesting to talk to someone who experienced those things and then judge them for the way they decide to speak about them. You tell your story in your own time when you’re ready.”

-Speaking of great covers, Harry Styles covers Beauty Papers in nothing but Gucci fishnets.

-During isolation, Miley Cyrus is hosting a “talk show” every day on Instagram Live and today’s guest was Demi Lovato.

–Vanessa Hudgens is walking back the comments she made on an Instagram Live yesterday, saying they were “taken out of context.” She had said: “Um, yeah, ’til July sounds like a bunch of bulls–t. I’m sorry, but like, it’s a virus, I get it, like, I respect it, but at the same time I’m like, even if everybody gets it, like yeah, people are going to die, which is terrible but like, inevitable?”

–Emma Stone has reportedly had to postpone her wedding, which was supposed to take place this weekend in LA.

-Everything about this crisis is terrible — except for this story: Jared Leto says he just came back from 12 days in silent meditation in the desert and had no idea what was happening.  Way to stay on brand, bud.

–Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively announced they are donating $1 million to Feed America and Food Banks Canada.

–Tom Cruise is back to shooting the new Mission Impossible movie, social distancing be damned.

Lizzo Covers Rolling Stone

-Now this is a cover! In Lizzo‘s Rolling Stone interview, she talks about being a body-positive role model: “I’ve come to terms with body dysmorphia and evolved. The body-positive movement is doing the same thing. We’re growing together, and it’s growing pains, but I’m just glad that I’m attached to something so organic and alive.”

-In happy news, Channing Tatum and Jessie J have officially reunited.

-In unhappy news, Lena Waithe and wife Alana Mayo have split just two months after announcing their marriage — and the rumours around the breakup are messy. There’s chatter that Waithe was buying Instagram models expensive gifts, and talk that she was spotted looking cozy at the Golden Globes with Cynthia Erivo.

-Ousted Grammy CEO Deborah Dugan is not going down without a fight. She appeared on the Today Show with some explosive allegations, including vote fixing and sexual harassment. She’s also suing the Recording Academy. Did I mention the Grammys are this Sunday?

–John Krasinski had a sweet Office reunion.

–Tina Fey is creating a movie adaptation of her Broadway musical Mean Girls — which started as a movie to begin with.

-Ever since I saw that episode of Succession set at the Davos World Economic Forum, I’ve assumed it was a week filled with weird rich people doing weird rich people things. This video of Julianne Hough receiving an orgasmic physical therapy treatment is doing nothing to change my mind.

-Despite our wishful thinking, it doesn’t seem like there’s much going on between A$AP Rocky and Rihanna.

–Brad Pitt says he can no longer remember the first rule of Fight Club — which is why he’s talking to the press about Fight Club.

–Angelina Jolie has signed on to produce a BBC Show designed to help kids spot fake news.

-I love that Bon Appétit’s Claire Saffitz is big enough to be on Fallon!

–Anne Hathaway plays a journalist in trouble in the trailer for The Last Thing He Ever Wanted, an adaptation of the Joan Didion novel.

-I was home sick today so I got to watch Noah Centineo on Kelly & Ryan this morning. Which was perfect timing because I had just watched the new trailer for PS I Still Love You eleven times in a row.  The John Ambrose casting is really good; Jordan Fisher might actually be charming enough to give Peter Kavinsky a run for his money.

Vanity Fair’s Outdated Oscar Issue

Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue jlo renee eddie murphy

-Vanity Fair’s annual Hollywood issue features Eddie Murphy, Jennifer Lopez, and Renee Zellweger. That’s how shocking the Murphy and Lopez Oscar snubs are — everyone assumed they’d be nominated so much that they ended up on covers like this.

-I also like this point about the Oscar noms: if Greta Gerwig — a film snob married to a film snob and backed by Spielberg — can’t get in with the Academy what chance does a POC have?

-Academy voter Stephen King caused a stir when he tweeted “I would never consider diversity in matters of art. Only quality.” His later (frustratingly unthreaded) tweets provided more context (“You can’t win awards if you’re shut out of the game”) but I still think he’s missing the point. No one is advocating for inclusion trumping good story, but you won’t get good story if it’s always the same people telling the same story over and over again. It’s not just about being shut out of the game. It’s that the game is rigged so there’s no way in.

–Ava DuVernay called his tweet “backwards and ignorant.”

-WSJ Magazine’s Young Hollywood issue has landed.

–Vanessa Hudgens and Austin Butler have reportedly called it quits after nearly 9 years(!) of dating.

-Why is Vince Vaughn talking to Trump so shocking? He’s never really hidden his political preferences.

-Netflix has renewed You. I like where it ended last season, but I am also of the very strong belief that the next season should be the last (unless they want to do a Joe-behind-bars season).

-The Mail on Sunday is trying to defend its reasoning behind publishing Meghan Markle‘s private letters. Hard pass.

–Vin Diesel plays a reanimated corpse in his latest movie. So, pretty much the same as usual then?
