I can’t argue with success. But I don’t care so much about success as I do originality.”

-Good Girls’ Mae Whitman revealed she identifies as pansexual, tweeting: “I know ppl might be unfamiliar with what pansexual means; for me it means I know I can fall in love with people of all genders.”

-Even though they’re both nominated in the same Emmys category, SNL’s Bowen Yang says he wants Kenan Thompson to win. “I know this is messy… and that someone on my team will be mad at me, but I’m just being real.” Thompson hold the record for the the longest serving SNL cast member and has only won once.

Eminem‘s first big acting role since 8 Mile will be in 50 Cent’s upcoming drama series, where he’ll play White Boy Rick.

-If you’ve finished The White Lotus finale, this interview with creator Mike White is worth your time. I like that he doesn’t offer any easy answers and is still kind of grappling with what he was trying to say. (I also very much liked this thread about the Armond character.)

-In relation to The White Lotus, this is an excellent piece on how TV’s white guys are in crisis.

-Congrats to The Flash’s Grant Gustin and his wife, who welcomed their first child — a baby girl named Juniper Grace.

Taylor Swift was interviewed by Beatles icon Paul McCartney, and opened up about her relationship with Joe Alwyn, saying he understands her A-list lifestyle. “I think that in knowing him and being in the relationship I am in now, I have definitely made decisions that have made my life feel more like a real life and less like just a storyline to be commented on in tabloids. Whether that’s deciding where to live, who to hang out with, when to not take a picture—the idea of privacy feels so strange to try to explain, but it’s really just trying to find bits of normalcy.”

Melissa McCarthy (though more likely her networks’ publicist) accidentally promoted a charity that has ties to homophobic and anti-abortion policies and apologized. “There’s no other way to say it,” she said in an Instagram video. “We blew it. We made a mistake and we backed a charity that upon proper vetting stands for everything that we do not.”

-During a recent interview, Kate Mara says Heath Ledger looked out for her on the set of Brokeback Mountain. “I was 19, he was only a few years older than me, yeah, it was pretty crazy, but he was the sweetest thing…he really took me under his wing because I hadn’t worked that much.”

Will Smith gets teary-eyed in the new Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air reunion trailer.

Billie Eilish’s new video makes me miss the mall.

-We all assumed One Direction’s 10-year anniversary would be today’s biggest music news. But then Taylor Swift unexpectedly announced she will be dropping her eighth studio album, titled folklore, tonight at midnight.

-Interestingly, Kanye West is supposed to be dropping his new album, Donda, at the same time. I’m sure that’s a complete coincidence.

-This is an interesting thread on how a surprise album has let Taylor escape the singles release structure, which frankly, has caused her issues for the past few releases. My least fave songs for her last two albums were the ones she released first.

Britney Spears‘ brother Byran laughed off rumours she’s being held captive and said of her conservatorship “Obviously there was a need for it in the beginning…It’s been a great thing for our family and we keep hoping for the best.” He added “She’s always wanted to get out of it. It’s very frustrating to have. Whether someone’s coming in peace to help or coming in with an attitude, having someone constantly tell you to do something has got to be frustrating.”

Megan Fox gushed about her relationship with Machine Gun Kelly when they appeared together on the Give Them Lala…With Randall podcast. “The second that I was in a room with him and said hello to him and looked into his eyes, I knew right away that he was what I call a twin flame. We’re actually two halves of the same soul I think. I said that to him almost immediately. I felt it right away.”

-ComicCon kicked off this morning. Here’s when some of the biggest panels for TV/movies are taking place — which you can watch on YouTube.

Eminem is reportedly terrified of what Mariah Carey might reveal in her new memoir about the time they dated. I forgot about that! A source tells Us Weekly: “Marshall is stressed out that Mariah is going to say s–t that he was bad in bed or a selfish lover because he has always been very insecure about that. She knows that.”

-The Johnny Depp libel trial continues. Amber Heard has been on the stand the past few days, and has accused him of headbutting her the night before she appeared on James Corden’s show, trying to throw her sister down a set of stairs, and going on a 36-hour cocaine and whiskey binge.

Bill and Ted 3 has moved to a September theatre release, with a simultaneous video on demand release. For a movie of this size, this makes the most sense. Open in other countries, and in North America on mostly VOD to take advantage of all the marketing already done.
