Adele Gives Good Face

2 images of Adele: one in a red blazer, and another in a black dress

-I adore this 80s-ish photoshoot with Adele for The Face. In the interview, she talked about her ex-husband, Simon Konecki and why she was so drawn to him. “I was like, ‘I’d be a f**king damn fool to walk away from this man being the father of my child compared to any other man that I encountered before or after up until recently, phew! I would’ve regretted that, forever.”

-Meanwhile, she told Apple Music that she isn’t making music for TikTok. “I’d rather cater to people who are on my level in terms of the amount of time we’ve spent on Earth and the things we’ve been through.”

-It’s happening. Sources tell E! News that Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson are indeed dating after they were photographed holding hands in Palm Springs. “He makes her laugh the entire time they are together and she is completely enthralled by him.” (People are amused/scandalized that she’s wearing Yeezys in the photos.)

Jennifer Lawrence and her baby bump attended a screening of Don’t Look Up (though I’m much more focused on what Meryl Streep and Jonah Hill are wearing).

Sam Asghari attended the House of Gucci premiere (which is…huh) and talked about his plans with Britney Spears. “We’re getting ready for a wedding, baby!”

Simu Liu tries to keep the peace between Saweetie and Kyle Mooney in his SNL promo.

Blake Lively is promoting her new line of mixers — but it doesn’t sound like she’ll be enjoying them herself. “I don’t drink because I don’t like the effects of alcohol, but I like being a part of it.”

-In a new Hawkeye clip, Clint and Kate play with fire to take down the Tracksuit Mafia. Meanwhile, the NYT profiles Jeremy Renner, who somehow has two shows dropping at the same time: Hawkeye and Mayor of Kingstown.

-The Office’s Brian Baumgartner (who played Kevin) wrote a new book about the show, and in it John Krasinski talks about the only scene he pushed back on, which saw Jim make out with Pam’s replacement Cathy when Pam was on maternity leave. “That’s the only time I remember putting my foot down…I remember saying things that I never thought I’d say before, like, ‘I’m not going to shoot it.’ There is a threshold with which you can push our audience. They are so dedicated. We have shown such great respect to them. But there’s a moment where if you push them too far, they’ll never come back. And I think that if you show Jim cheating, they’ll never come back.”

-Speaking of The Office, Mindy Kaling was on Kelly Clarkson’s show and they tried her character Kelly Kapoor’s “disgusting” favourite cocktail.

-This is a really great read on the state of made-for-cable holiday movies.

Jonah Hill is set to play Jerry Garcia in a film about The Grateful Dead from Martin Scorsese.

-Discovery+ is planning a documentary on the tumultuous relationship between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.

Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka are the latest to call for an investigation after tennis player Peng Shuai went missing after accusing a former top official of sexually assaulting her.

-Here’s an interesting interview with Jason Reitman, in which he talked for an hour about a lot of things that have besides the movie he was promoting.

-I’m bummed for John Cho that the reviews for Cowboy Beebop are not good.

Mariah Carey is back with another holiday event on Apple+, this one featuring Khalid, Kirk Franklin, Apple Music personality Zane Lowe and her twins, Moroccan and Monroe. Here’s the trailer.

Chloë Grace Moretz plays a pregnant woman warring against A.I. in the trailer for Hulu’s Mother/Android.

-Here’s the final trailer for Nightmare Alley with Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, Toni Collette and Bradley Cooper.

Harry Styles is Dashing on Dazed

Harry Styles covers the winter issue of Dazed and the photo shoot is worth a look. He talks about branching out into acting (“You’re trying to remove a lot of yourself and key into someone else. On the most basic level, it’s like being a kid and you’re playing pretend. I am not a very confrontational person, I think I’m pretty chill, so then when you have a character who is like that, it’s fun to explore”), and his new line of beauty products (“It’s starting with nail polish, because that was kind of the birth of what it was for. Me seeing a colour on a flower or a wallpaper or something and thinking, ‘Oh, I wanna put that on my nails.’ It was a fun little project, but during the pandemic, and when we eventually named it Pleasing, it felt like it was so much more than nail polish”).

-It’s Taylor Swift‘s world; we’re just living in it. On Friday night, she debuted her short film for “All Too Well” starring Stranger Things’ Sadie Sink and Teen Wolf’s Dylan O’Brien, and on SNL she performed an epic 10-minute version of the song with the film playing behind her. Then today, she dropped the music video for “I Bet You Think About Me“, which marks Blake Lively‘s directorial debut and stars (for some reason) Miles Teller.

Jake Gyllenhaal was spotted out with his sister Maggie this weekend, so Taylor fans are letting him live (barely).

-Is Shia LaBeouf about to become a father? Following allegations of abuse levelled against him by ex-girlfriend FKA twigs, he reportedly got back with his ex-wife, actress Mia Goth. And now it looks like they’re expecting.

Kristen Stewart is developing a gay ghost-hunting reality show with a friend, which she has described as “a paranormal romp in a queer space,” with elevated aesthetics. This sounds like the reality TV version of her film Personal Shopper and I’m in.

-Love this profile on Succession’s J. Smith-Cameron (and it explains her recent tweet about having “the greatest first date”).

-From divorce to weight loss, Adele didn’t hold back details in her tell-all interview with Oprah last night on CBS.

-There were a ton of celebs in Adele‘s hand-picked audience, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Drake, Selena Gomez, Tracee Ellis Ross, Ava DuVernay, Gayle King, Childish Gambino, Kris Jenner, Ellen DeGeneres, Nicole Richie, Seth Rogan, Tyler Perry, Aaron Paul and James Corden.

-Meanwhile, I don’t usually like public proposals but the one during her special was great, especially because the woman’s shock extended when she was told to sit down and they put her next to Lizzo and then Melissa McCarthy handed her a drink.

-Last week’s Disney+ Day was a mess. The biggest miss is how they put most of the trailers behind a paywall so they couldn’t be shared on social. (Also, the fact that they forgot to untag all the previously mentioned celebs in their Twitter thread made my social media manager heart hurt.) But some trailers have started to trickle out, including Oscar Isaac doing an awful accent in Moon Knight, and Iman Vellani making her debut as Ms. Marvel.

Serena and Venus Williams brought the drama to the premiere of King Richard (which I saw this weekend and am still undecided on.)

Lin-Manuel Miranda is promoting Tick Tick Boom (which I also saw this weekend and loved) and says he’s not worried about so-called “cancel culture.” “Once something has success, you’re not the underdog trying to make it happen anymore. You have to graduate past the mindset of, like, it’s a miracle I got something on the stage. Because now that is expected of me. And people go, ‘Yeah, but what about this? And what about this?’ And that’s fair! I do that with art I find lacking…It’s not cancellation. That’s having opinions. So I try to take it in that spirit.”

Mel Gibson is set to direct Lethan Weapon 5, because cancel culture doesn’t exist.

-The teaser trailer for Downton Abbey: A New Era has arrived.

Joaquin Phoenix plays a family man in the new trailer for Mike Mills’ C’mon C’mon.

-Here’s the trailer for Silent Night, starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Goode. I saw this at TIFF and it straddles a really hard line between dark comedy and massively depressing doomsday drama.

Adele’s New Wine Anthem

-The tracklist for Adele‘s new album includes songs titled “I Drink Wine”, “Can I Get It” and “Oh My God.” I’m here for all of it.

Lil Nas X is WSJ magazine‘s music innovator of the year and talks about his social media savviness (“Anybody who tries to s— on me on Twitter, it’s just not gonna work”) and courting controversy (“You take certain things like kissing a guy onstage: I know that’s going to be something that’s talked about. But let’s get into the root cause of why it’s being talked about”).

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson were photographed holding hands while riding a roller coaster at a Halloween event on Friday night, but sources insist they’re just friends.

-In his new book, Kal Penn reveals he’s engaged to his boyfriend of 11 years — and that he’s had a boyfriend for 11 years.

Mariah Carey‘s annual Nov 1’s post included pumpkin smashing this year.

-On a new podcast, Hailey Baldwin talked about standing by Justin Bieber amid his mental health struggles. “I was in it. I made a decision. I know for a fact that I’ve loved this person for a very long time and now would not be the time to give up on him. I just wouldn’t do that to him. Imagine abandoning somebody in the middle of the worst time of their life, potentially. I’m not that type of a person. So I was going to stick it out no matter what the outcome was going to be.”

Hannah Waddingham and Sharon Stone met on a red carpet this weekend and freaked the hell out over each other.

Chris Pratt is really leaning into voice work. He’ll play Garfield in a new animated feature. He had had a lead voice role in Disney/Pixar’s Onward, and was recently announced to be voicing Mario in the upcoming Super Mario Bros. movie.

Florence Pugh debuted her new, short hairstyle. I dig it.

-I’m not sure that the guy who reportedly handed Alec Baldwin the gun on the set of Rust should be releasing statements that scold the film industry about safety.

-Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants alums Blake Lively and Amber Tamblyn hung out for Halloween.

Steve Buscemi was the best dressed celeb this Halloween.

-Outspoken anti-v*xxer Kristy Swanson has reportedly been hospitalized with covid.

Ice Cube has dropped out of a comedy costarring Jack Black after declining to get vaccinated. He walked away from a $9 million payday in the process.

Ed Sheeran says Elton John is good (maybe too good?) at keeping in touch. “I think people think I’m exaggerating and lying when I say he calls every day. He calls me every single morning. Even if it’s like 10 seconds, every single morning he calls.”

-With The Good Place’s William Jackson Harper in the lead, this season of HBO Max’s Love Life is getting glowing reviews.

-I gave up on The Morning Show but have not given up on the recaps to see what wildly ill-conceived plot twists they keep coming up with.

-The upcoming Disney+ Mandalorian spinoff, The Book of Boba Fett, got its first trailer today. It stars Temuera Morrison, Ming-Na Wen and Jennifer Beals.

Halle Berry and Patrick Wilson star in the trailer for Roland Emmerich‘s Moonfall.
