-I adore Evan Rachel Wood’s Elle Canada cover! She talks about her love of David Bowie, relocating to Nashville, and writing happy songs instead of sad ones.
-Is Victoria Beckham heading to Carpool Karaoke? But, but…she’ll have to sing.
–Chris Evans responded to Jenny Slate‘s glowing comments about him in kind, saying thatshe is his “favorite human,” and “the best.”
–Justin Theroux presented Jennifer Aniston with an empty piñata during her birthday celebration.
-I love this headline: “Fuck Chris Brown and Black-ish should know better”
–Nancy Meyers almost getting into a car accident because she was distracted by a beautiful kitchen is the most on-brand thing I’ve ever read…
–Chris Pineshaved his headand it’s kind of breaking my heart? That’s not weird, right??
-People on the internet have a LOT of opinions about the news that Joss Whedon will direct a standalone Batgirl film. I mean, of course it would be better to have a female director, but it could be worse. And this is a huge get for DC. (I still think it’s weird that every other week they announce a huge new movie while announcing another one is delayed.)
–Anthony Stewart Head says he tried very hard to attend the Buffy reunion, but his theatre schedule prevented it.
-EW dropped a surprise Buffy reunion covertoday — complete with an amazing photo shoot and a 44-minute video special — and my heart is so full! The only person missing is Anthony Stewart Head. (Nicholas Brendan is there too, but for some reason he isn’t in the group video chat. And he didn’t tag Alyson Hannigan in his FB post about it.) In any case, I’m really hoping my subscriber cover ends up being this one.
-I also really liked everyone’s take on Angel vs Spike. I love Spike as a character (especially in the spinoff) but attempted rapists are probably not meant to be part of the OTP.
-Costars/new couple Melissa Benoist and Chris Wood look like they’re having fun in Mexico. (I hate her high-cut bikini. And she has multiple versions of it!)
-The Mindy Project is only getting one more season, which is good. I’m looking forward to seeing what she does next.
-Studio head Sherry Lansing‘s new biography includes tidbits about Angelina Jolie‘s mandated drug testingduring Tomb Raider’s filming, and Glenn Close’s protests at re-shooting Fatal Attractions’ ending after test audiences demanded her character die.
-Ouch! Charlize Theron is going for her fourth root canal thanks to stunts on Atomic Blonde.
–George Clooney says he totally ready for parenthood: “I played a pediatrician on ER. So I know how to work on extra children…If there’s any accidents, I’m there. I’m the guy.”
-Meanwhile, Amal is probably not going to let him name their twins.
-I never watched Bones but I like this take on how it was an unconventional love story that upended the typical will-they/won’t-they schtick.
–Kristen Bell and James Corden‘s aerial duet went hilariously wrong.
-Another writers’ strike might happen. I support the WGA but I really hope it doesn’t (the first strike was the kiss of death for a bunch of great new shows that could never recover, most famously Pushing Daisies).
–Nicole Kidman says she’s haunted by those therapy scenes in Big Little Lies. Same, girl.
–Judy Greer loves watching montages of her kissing leading men like George Clooney, Ashton Kutcher and more. (Her “can I keep this?” is the cutest.)
-Like everyone else, Alec Baldwinfell in love with Tina Fey when he first met her and asked if she was single. “When I first met Tina Fey — beautiful and brunette, smart and funny, by turns smug and diffident and completely uninterested in me or anything I had to say — I had the same reaction that I’m sure many men and women have: I fell in love.”
-Oh yeah, I forgot Prison Break returns Tuesday after seven years for a limited nine-episode run. I wonder if there’s a 5-minute series recap on YouTube?
-This is an interesting look at the rise of surreal TV. I’m kind of over shows that are pretty mind-screws that don’t actually amount to much (cough, Legion, cough).
-The trailer for the updated IT looks very, very good and I will never watch this movie.
-Here’s the trailer for Luc Besson‘s sci-fi adaptation Valerian, starring Cara Delevingne, Dane DeHaan and a blink-and-you’ll-miss-her glimpse of Rihanna.
