The One Where Friends Reunited

-The first full trailer for the Friends reunion has arrived. This actually looks quite good (there seems to be at least three venue changes, including a table read) but it’ll be interesting to see if they follow Fresh Prince’s lead and have some warts-and-all conversations.

Billy Porter opened up about his HIV-positive diagnosis  (which he’s kept secret since 2007) in an interview with THR. “My purpose, my calling, my ministry is about this conversation we’re having. Because the world needs to know what HIV-positive looks like.”

A$AP Rocky confirmed that he’s in a serious relationship with Rihanna. “[She] amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones … I think when you know, you know. She’s the One.”

Demi Lovato surprised fans with an early morning announcement: they identify as non-binary.

Prince Harry will reportedly drop more ‘truth bombs‘ in his new Apple series with Oprah. I just listened to his podcast with Dax Shepard and was surprised at how candid he was, especially about how his father’s parenting style messed him up.

-Johnny Depp is at it again. He’s now asking the courts to order ACLU to show proof that Amber Heard donated her divorce settlement​ to them like she said she would.

-I’m surprised how underwhelmed I am by the Lollapalooza lineup. It’s in July, making it the first full capacity music festival we’ve seen in ages.

-Wow, I wasn’t expecting to love Ashton Kutcher and Mila KunisLA farmhouse as much as I do. Those ceilings!

-Bless Variety for breaking down all the Erika Jayne drama.

-One of Danny Masterson’s accusers delivered nearly six hours of tearful testimony at a preliminary hearing to determine if a trial will be ordered. She claimed the actor drugged and raped her at gunpoint.

Marilyn Manson faces new a lawsuit, this one from his former assistant alleging sexual assault.

-The reviews for Netflix’s Master of None Season 3 seem to indicate it’s slow and boring.

-Wouldn’t it be great if Happy Endings being on Netflix leads to a resurgence for that show?

-I liked this profile on John Krasinski, which follows the making of the much-delayed A Quiet Place Part II.

-Here’s Jennifer Hudson as Aretha Franklin in the Respect trailer.

Jennifer Lopez’s Inauguration Performance Gets Mixed Reviews

JLo’s performance at the inauguration was, um, interesting. But I adored the white outfit — and the photo shoot.

The New Radicalsappearance at today’s inauguration makes more sense when you learn that “You Get What You Give” was the Biden family’s breakfast rallying song when Beau was going through cancer treatment. *sob*

Lady Gaga took her tech entrepreneur boyfriend Michael Polansky to the inauguration.

Rihanna had today’s best social media post.

-I’m not a huge James Corden fan but his “One Day More” song with Broadway stars was pretty spectacular.

-There’s no update on the Shawn Mendes/Camila Cabello engagement rumours but she’s making headlines for her charitable work: she’s teaming with Movement Voter Fund to launch the Healing Justice Project, which will focus on giving frontline activists access to mental health support.

Danny Masterson has pleaded not guilty to charges of raping three women and is out on $3.3 million bail.

Lori Harvey and Michael B Jordan continue to enjoy their blissful bubble.

-Variety’s latest Actors On Actors video features Daniel Kaluuya and Tom Holland, and it’s all very charming. Holland says he broke his laptop when he found out he’d landed Spider-Man: “I flipped it up in the air. It fell off my bed. My dog went nuts. I ran downstairs. I was telling my family, “I got the part! I got the part!”‘

-Lupin (a French Netflix show about a gentleman thief who steals a diamond necklace for revenge) is on track to reach more households than recent buzzy fare such as Bridgerton and The Queen’s Gambit.

-I haven’t started it yet but the reviews are glowing.

-Every time there’s a fluffy People story about Kristen Bell, I remember Deux Moi’s recent posts about how she’s being groomed to take over Ellen’s job.

-I just got all caught up on The Boys (I blame Aya Cash) and am now crushing on Jack Quaid. This IG Live in which Jane Levy assures him he’s hot is hilarious.

-Netflix stock hit an all-time high today.

Jovan Adepo, Grace Van Patten and Mary J. Bilge star in The Violent Heart trailer.

Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles Kick Off 2021 Together

-There’s nothing like kicking off the new year with a romantic pairing none of us saw coming. Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles are apparently dating. They were photographed hand-in-hand at his manager’s wedding over the weekend. The Daily Mail then published photos of Wilde and Styles arriving back at his home in Los Angeles with their luggage on Monday, while a source tells People they’ve been dating “for a few weeks.” Just imagine; if she hadn’t fired Shia LaBeouf from her movie and replaced him with Styles, we would have been deprived of this deliciousness!

-Also, Styles’ new video with Phoebe Waller-Bridge makes my heart full.

-Well, this is weird. TMZ is reporting that Tanya Roberts, a former Bond girl and That 70s Show star who was reported dead yesterday, is apparently alive, despite statements to the contrary from her husband and PR rep.

Zoe Kravitz and Karl Glusman have split up after 18 months of marriage.

– I don’t watch the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, but everyone seems to be super pissed by the series finale. I don’t understand this enduring trend. It’s not “fan service” to give your audience what they want at the end if that’s what your entire show has been building towards.

-I don’t believe much from Netflix’s “ratings” announcements, but according to them, Bridgerton was their fifth biggest original series launch.

-Speaking of Bridgerton, I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole of Jonathan Bailey doing Broadway tunes on Youtube. His character was a jerk in season one, but if the show follows the books, than everyone’s going to love him in season two.

-In order to play a boxer in his latest video, Justin Bieber had all of his tattoos covered up.

-Meanwhile, Bieber is distancing himself from Hillsong Church following buddy Carl Lentz termination in November for “moral failures.”

-Queer Eye’s Jonathan Van Ness revealed he got married a few months ago.

-This is a good (though not for him) deep dive into how Ryan Murphy’s brand has fallen recently.

Blake Shelton really needs to learn how to read the room.

-Don’t expect Zac Synder to have a bright future with DC Films/HBO Max after the release of his cut of Justice League. A Warner Bros exec called it “a storytelling cul-de-sac — a street that leads nowhere.”

Larry King was hospitalized with covid, but he’s now out of the ICU.

-This is unexpected: Eddie Izzard has come to J.K. Rowlings’ defense.

-This sort of flew under the radar because of the holidays, but it’s messed up: A judge ruled that Danny Masterson and the women accusing him of sexual assault must resolve their lawsuits through Scientology arbitration. I’ve never heard of mediation for criminal charges.

-I feel bad for Vanessa Kirby, who’s award-baiting performance in Pieces of a Woman is now being overshadowed by costar Shia LaBeouf’s assault accusations.

-Here’s the new trailer for One Night In Miami, coming to Amazon Prime next week. I adored this movie.
