Andrew Garfield Gets a Cobra Kai Surprise

-Earlier this year, Andrew Garfield revealed he’s a huge Cobra Kai fan — so the stars sent him a video message. His obvious delight at this is adorable. “It feels like Christmas in my body…Life can be ok sometimes. Life can be really nice.”

Jimmy Kimmel posted a photo with singed hair on Instagram, saying he’d burned his ‘hair and eyebrow off’ while ‘lighting the oven’ for Thanksgiving dinner.

Kanye West made a surprise appearance at Los Angeles Mission’s Annual Thanksgiving event and he said…some things. “The narrative God wants is to see that we can be redeemed in all these relationships. We’ve made mistakes. I’ve made mistakes. I’ve publicly done things that were not acceptable as a husband, but right now today, for whatever reason — I didn’t know I was going to be in front of this mic — but I’m here to change the narrative…I’m doing everything to be right next to the situation… I’m trying to express this in the most sane way, the most calm way possible, but I need to be back home.”

Dave Chapelle tried to pull his shit on a bunch of high schoolers, and they weren’t having it. “I’m 16 and I think you’re childish, you handled it like a child.”

-Prince William and Kate Middleton are working on a Christmas carol concert broadcast fundraiser, and they’ve changed the broadcaster from BBC to ITV — likely because BBC just aired an unflattering doc about their involvement with the tabloids.

Jared Leto continues to be subtle and demure in interviews. Talking about his prep for House of Gucci, he said “I did it all. I was snorting lines of arrabbiata sauce by the middle of this movie. I had olive oil for blood. This was a deep dive I did. If you took a biopsy of my skin, it would come back as parmesan cheese! This is my love letter to Italy.” (Judging by the reviews of his performance in particular, Italy might be marking that ‘return to sender’.)

David Beckham taught his daughter how to boil an egg. I would definitely cook more if he was around to kiss me on the forehead after every successful attempt…

-This is how Samantha Jones is being written out of the Sex and the City reboot. It leaves the door wide open for a cameo, but Kim Cattrall will never walk through it.

Casey Affleck, 46, and is dating 23-year-old actress Caylee Cowan. Sound about right.

Van Hunt wrote an article about his girlfriend Halle Berry, and it’s very sweet if you can ignore the lack of capitalization. “no one ever discusses this tenacity when describing her. they speak of beauty and favorite movies, but never of heart. it is nigh impossible to peer inside Halle without noticing her heart; and the principles that make it thump.”

-Spice Girl Geri Halliwell is mourning the unexpected loss of her brother, who passed away suddenly at age 54.

Elliot Page and Awkwafina are friends and I love that for them.

-Here’s the final season trailer for This Is Us.

Ruth Wilson Talks Leaving The Affair: “I Didn’t Feel Safe”

-While promoting the new season of His Dark Materials, Ruth Wilson told the Stylist more details about her exit from The Affair — and why she didn’t speak out right away. “There was a situation on The Affair where things didn’t feel right, and I dealt with them, and I managed to protect myself…It was before #MeToo and before Harvey Weinstein — and yet my instincts were very clear and strong about what I felt was wrong, about what was going on, and what I didn’t feel safe about.”

Helena Bonham Carter is promoting the new season of The Crown and in an amazingly candid interview with The Guardian she talks about her outlandish style (“I promise you, even when I think I’m being normal, somehow it comes out wrong. It really does! I later see the photos and think, what was I thinking?”), the accusations against Johnny Depp (“There’s something quite old-fashioned about Johnny, with these manners – none of it makes sense”), and her split from Tim Burton (“At first it’s a horrible thing to get used to, not having your children around [when you share custody]. The cruelty of divorce is extraordinary. But then you get to a point where you’re like, Oh, I get this week off! Some parts are very much to be recommended”).

Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello took their relationship to the next level: they got a puppy.

Cardi B was so stressed watching the election results last night, she was smoking three cigarettes at once. Same, girl.

Chris Rock got real about why he doesn’t like civil rights movies: “I applaud the effort and they should exist. The problem is, they only show the back of the bus and the lunch counter. They actually make racism look very fixable…My mother used to get her teeth taken out at the vet ’cause you weren’t allowed to go to the dentist. No movie shows you that.”

Jimmy Kimmel didn’t even ask parents this year to trick their kids into thinking they ate all their Halloween candy — but they did it anyway.

Khloe Kardashian responded to pregnancy rumors with “my abs say otherwise.” Well played.

-Canada has proposed an amendment to its national Broadcasting Act to require streaming services like Netflix and Spotify to invest a portion of their revenue into local production.

Christopher Nolan says studios are drawing the “wrong conclusions” from Tenet’s box office and insists he’s “thrilled” with the results. Sure he is.

Lori Loughlin isn’t enjoying her first few days of prison. Poor thing.

Mena Suvari introduces her daughter to her creepy new fiancé in the What Lies Below trailer.

Nicholas Hoult Talks Son and Sex Scenes

Nicholas_Hoult_GQ

Nicholas Hoult‘s interview with GQ Hype is great, but the photo shoot is so odd. Why do his feet look dirty?! In the article, he breaks his silence about being a dad (“I remember there was a scene in The Kelly Gang where I had to hold a gun to a baby’s head. My son was around the same age and it was really difficult in many ways”), and talks about how his sex scenes in The Great are much different from the ones he did on Skins (“We had a few intimacy co-ordinators who would come along and help out with that, which is a great thing. This is the first job I’ve had that on and it’s a very positive change in the industry. It’s almost like having a stunt co-ordinator. They make sure everyone is comfortable in terms of what’s happening and agreements of what can happen, but also choreograph it in a way that makes sense for the story and what it is you’re trying to tell”).

Mel Gibson was trending today because Winona Ryder gave a new interview and said “Mel Gibson was smoking a cigar, and we’re all talking and he said to my friend, who’s gay, ‘Oh wait, am I gonna get AIDS?’ And then something came up about Jews, and he said, ‘You’re not an oven dodger, are you?'”  I’m not sure why everyone is shocked by this, since Ryder told the same story a decade ago. Of course, his camp released a statement today denying it.  I mean, he’s on record saying “The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world” and telling his girlfriend “If you get raped by a pack of n******, it will be your fault” … but sure, deny it.

-In the same interview, Ryder also talked about working with Francis Ford Coppola on Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and how he directed her male costars to yell mean things at her when she was required to act in terror and shock. “To put it in context I’m supposed to be crying. Literally, Richard E. Grant, Anthony Hopkins, Keanu [Reeves] … Francis was trying to get all of them to yell things that would make me cry, but Keanu wouldn’t, Anthony wouldn’t. … It just didn’t work.”

-In response to an old interview about her time on Bad Boys II that was trending this week, Megan Fox responded by calling her interactions with Michael Bay “inconsequential” compared to her other “genuinely harrowing experiences in a ruthlessly misogynistic industry.”

-In a new interview with Variety about submitting her Black Mirror episode for Emmy consideration, Miley Cyrus talks about getting sober (“I’ve been sober sober for the past six months. At the beginning, it was just about this vocal surgery…It’s really hard because especially being young, there’s that stigma of “you’re no fun.” It’s like, “honey, you can call me a lot of things, but I know that I’m fun”).

-I love how Britney Spears is confusing/delighting everyone with her Instagram posts.

Elizabeth Hurley took to social media to pay tribute to the late Steve Bing, with whom she shares a son: “I am saddened beyond belief that my ex Steve is no longer with us. It is a terrible end.”

This story about The Ringer’s staff being frustrated about the lack of diversity is a real bummer, as I’ve followed a lot of those people from the Grantland days. Bill Simmons‘ response when asked why the podcast hosts weren’t more diverse was “this isn’t Open Mic Night,” which is pretty damn rich considering his 14-year-old daughter is a regular contributor to the Ringer Dish pod.

Michael B. Jordan, Tessa Thompson, and over 300 more artists signed an open letter calling on Hollywood to divest from the police and anti-Black content.

JJ Abrams‘ production company Bad Robot released a 20-page guide to dismantling white supremacy at work.

Chris D’Elia has been dropped by his agents.

-Everyone noticed in yesterday’s Actors on Actors interview with Lisa Kudrow that Jennifer Aniston appears to have a new tattoo on her wrist that reads “11 11.”  It’s likely a reference to her birthday, which is Feb 11.

-Wow. Freaks and Geeks is finally going to be available on streaming. You can watch it for free on CBC Gem starting July 17.

-Here’s the trailer for Netflix’s Unsolved Mystery reboot.
