Anna Kendrick and Bill Hader Are Dating

-Over the weekend, I sent my friend DeuxMoi’s item about how Anna Kendrick and Bill Hader are rumoured to be dating, because them as a couple just makes so much sense to me. People has now confirmed it, with sources saying they’ve been “quietly” dating for more than a year and “she’s really happy.” The costarred in the 2019 Disney+ Christmas movie Noelle.

Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes are fueling reconciliation rumors after she publicly supported his new music.

-Buffy star Charisma Carpenter has responded to recent remarks made by Joss Whedon, calling him “a former tyrannical narcissistic boss who is still unable to be accountable and just apologize.”

Tom Holland is reportedly in the running to be the 2022 Oscar host. I don’t hate this. He’s got the biggest movie of the year, and we know from his Rihanna lip sync that he’s game for anything.

Sia says she was suicidal and entered rehab following the outrage over her feature directorial debut, Music. Kathy Griffin defended her, saying “the attacks she received were because of kind of sexism, ageism and misogyny”, though autistic people who got caught in the crossfire aren’t buying it.

-I don’t have a lot of interest in a series based on Fatal Attraction — or at least I didn’t until Joshua Jackson and Lizzy Caplan were cast as the leads.

Pamela Anderson and her fourth husband are splitting after one year of marriage.

Robert Pattinson‘s The Batman is 2 hours and 47 minutes long – without credits. What are we doing here, guys?

Hilarie Burton and Bethany Joy Lenz are joining their One Tree Hill costar Sophia Bush in an upcoming episode of her new CBS show, Good Sam. I love that these three are still so tight but also, what great marketing. If my TL is any indication, OTH love still runs deep.

-The White Lotus is heading to Sicily for its second season.

-Season two of Upload (starring the good Amell) debuts on March 11. I really liked the first one.

-Crews on film and TV shows are worried about how lax covid protocols have gotten.

-The reviews of The Gilded Age are good, but with Carrie Coon and Christine Baranski starring, I’m going to watch it either way.

-Downton Abbey’s Joanne Froggatt fights back against her abusive ex (Michiel Huisman) in the trailer for the six-episode phycological thriller Angela Black.

Ryan Gosling made rare comments about his family in his new British GQ interview (which was basically a big ad for his new Tag Heuer campaign). “Our kids were at a difficult age not to be able to see other kids and interact with people, even though Eva [Mendes] and I did our best.” He added that to keep the kids entertained during lockdown, the couple did “more acting in quarantine than in our films. Tougher crowd, though.”

-In a new interview, Jamie Dornan reflected on 2021, in which his father passed way. “It’s a strange thing to end the year with all this positivity — with so much praise for Belfast and a lot of good talk about The Tourist. Because on many levels it’s been the worst year of my life, and the hardest.”

Tristan Thompson apologized to Khloé Kardashian via Instagram Stories (not even a feed post!) after a paternity test proved that he did indeed father a child with someone else when they were still dating.

Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian are in the Bahamas together.

-The Omicron hits keep coming in Hollywood. Jimmy Fallon said he and his daughters tested positive before Christmas (right before he was set to appear on SNL) but had mild symptoms, while Seth Meyers cancelled the rest of his shows this week after testing positive. And Whoopi Goldberg is missing The View this week after testing positive.

Betty White‘s agent has responded to rumours. “People are saying her death was related to getting a booster shot three days earlier, but that is not true. She died of natural causes. Her death should not be politicized — that is not the life she lived.”

Jared Leto’s Morbius has been pushed yet again and will now hit theaters in April. (Dylan O’Brien‘s sarcastic, salty response to this news made my eyebrow raise.)

-Now that a settlement between Jeffrey Epstein and a woman who sued Prince Andrew for sexual abuse has come to light, the prince’s lawyers are trying to get the case dismissed. It is not going well for him.

Patton Oswalt took to social media to explain why he posted a photo with pal Dave Chappelle. “I’m an LGBTQ ally. I’m a loyal friend. There’s friction in those traits.”

-I can’t believe that the Harry Potter reunion special (which was very charming) accidentally used a childhood photo of Emma Roberts instead of Emma Watson.

Halle Berry didn’t really get married — but she clearly wanted us to think she did.

-I really enjoyed the spoiler-filled interview with the writers for Spider-Man: No Way Home.

-Meanwhile, Spider-Man: No Way Home is on its way to becoming the 10th biggest film in history at the domestic box office with a haul of $609.9 million so far.

-Character actor David Koechner (probably best known from The Office and Anchorman) was arrested on NYE for suspected DUI and hit-and-run.

-Oof. Dr. Dre has reportedly been ordered to pay his ex $100 million in their divorce settlement.

-I missed all the drama on Twitter last week but basically Adam McKay was saying that if you don’t like Don’t Look Up (and I didn’t) you don’t care about climate change? Did I get that right?

-If you want to watch a Netflix movie that’s actually good, I liked The Lost Daughter and am fully expecting Olivia Colman to nab a nomination for it.

-I also missed the news that Kanye West bought a house across the street from Kim Kardashian. That’s…really something.

Will Arnett will be replacing Armie Hammer in Taika Waititi’s soccer comedy, Next Goal Wins.

-I loved the Insecure finale — and this interview with Issa Rae about it. (I also loved that her  PR team told her they were aiming to get her a magazine cover every month to mark the final season, and they delivered.)

-On Christmas Day, Netflix gave us a gift: the announcement that Bridgerton will return in March.

-The new trailer for The Batman features our best look at Catwoman and The Riddler yet.

Jennifer Lawrence Eases Back Into the Spotlight

jennifer lawrence vanity fair

Jennifer Lawrence covers Vanity Fair and talks about stepping away three years ago. “I was not pumping out the quality that I should have. I just think everybody had gotten sick of me. I’d gotten sick of me. It had just gotten to a point where I couldn’t do anything right. If I walked a red carpet, it was, ‘Why didn’t she run?’ ” Since she’s been gone, she’s married art gallery director Cooke Maroney and is expecting her first child, and seems hesitant to jump back into the spotlight. “I’m so nervous. I haven’t spoken to the world in forever. And to come back now, when I have all of these new accessories added to my life that I obviously want to protect.”

Andrew Garfield covers GQ to promote tick, tick…BOOM! (Have you watched it yet? It’s on Netflix and it’s great. I’m not even that much of a Broadway head and the “Sunday Brunch” cameos blew me away.)  In the article, he goes deep about the recent loss of his mother. “A lot’s changed since then. Like losing my mum, and my psyche being totally rearranged by that. And life taking on a completely different hue and texture…tasting things differently. Hearing. Smell. It’s all different.”

Garfield also spoke beautifully to Stephen Colbert about his late mother. (Warning: this video WILL make you tear up.) It’s rare to see such articulately expressed vulnerability on a talk show. “I’m indebted to everyone who’s brought me to this place so that I can honour the most beautiful person that I’ve ever experienced in my life through my art, and use it as a way to heal. Use it as a way to sew up the wounds, ’cause that’s what we do, right? That’s what you do every night, you sew up our wounds.”

-This Oscar promo tour is already wild! In his new memoir, Will Smith says he once developed a “psychosomatic reaction” to orgasms after engaging in “rampant sexual intercourse” to deal with being cheated on by his first girlfriend: “I had sex with so many women, and it was so constitutionally disagreeable to the core of my being, that I developed a psychosomatic reaction to having an orgasm. It would literally make me gag and sometimes even vomit.” How fun for his partners!

-We’re now at the stage of humanity where we’re tracking Pete Davidson’s hickeys

-General Hospital has ousted fan fave Steve Burton. He’s the second star on the ABC sudser to not comply with the production’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Burton, who started the show in 1991, said “I did apply for my medical and religious exemptions, and both of those were denied. Which, you know, hurts. But this is also about personal freedom to me.”

Hailee Steinfeld makes Jeremy Renner so much more tolerable just by sitting next to him. They took Buzzfeed’s quiz about Marvel trivia and he did terribly.

Jay-Z scored three Grammy Awards nominations this year, making him the most nominated individual in Grammys history, a title he previously shared with Quincy Jones.

-Congrats to Freida Pinto, who welcomed her first baby.

-Amid all those Spider-Man rumours, Sandra Bullock insisted to Jimmy Kimmel she has “never been approached by Marvel.” She joked, “Who did they say I was going to be, like his grandmother or something?”

Chrissy Teigen had “eyebrow transplant surgery” which is apparently a thing people do.

-An arbitrator has ruled that Kevin Spacey must pay a House of Cards producer nearly $31 million for sexual misconduct behind the scenes of the political series.

-With Jared Leto‘s performance in House of Gucci getting lots of (not great) attention, this is a good piece on what an actor loses when their prosthetics become the star, and Hollywood’s obsession with making celebs “unrecognizable.”

Matthew McConaughey, whose just keep livin Foundation has raised $7.7 million for Texas storm relief, was named Philanthropist of the Year.

Terra Field, a trans engineer at Netflix who was suspended and then reinstated in October amid outcry around Dave Chappelle’s special, has resigned.

-I watched the finale of The Morning Show because I couldn’t quite look away from the trainwreck it had become. Season one wasn’t great but season two was actually awful. I can’t believe that Jennifer Aniston agreed to it because her character became shrill and hateful. Instead of examining what could have been a fascinating storyline about reckoning with feelings of guilt/enabling when a close male friend is outed as a predator, all her character cared about was how it affected her own reputation. And then Steve Carell‘s character became sympathetic because of…cancel culture? Aniston’s unhinged rant in the finale was pathetic and self-victimizing, but the way Chip kept nodding made me think he (and, by extension, the show) agreed with her. What? Someone save Billy Crudup and Greta Lee from season three.

-The saga of a Toronto-based scammer (maybe?) who got outed on Twitter Spaces is fascinating.

-Netflix is dropping an adaptation of Anxious People on Dec 29. That was maybe the best book I’ve read this year (so far).

Euphoria dropped the first teaser for its second season and a Jan 9 release date.
