-The Return to Hogwarts trailer actually has me looking forward to this reunion special. But even if JKR isn’t in it, will she still profit from it?

-In this new deep dive by Variety, Blake Stuerman shared his first-person account about his four years with director Bryan Singer, saying it was abusive and traumatizing. Variety says they spoke with 20 people to corroborate it. Meanwhile, Singer’s lawyer says Stuerman “simply has an axe to grind.”

–Lorne Michaels says he’ll retire from SNL in three years.

–Willem Dafoe (who was the best part of Spider-Man: No Way Home) once needed a body double in a nude scene because — according to director Lars von Trier — “Will’s own [penis] was too big…too big because everybody got very confused when they saw it.” So there’s that.

-Spider-Man: No Way Home made even more money than the most optimistic predictions.

-Speaking of Zendaya projects, a new Euphoria trailer has landed! The series returns in a couple of weeks.

-This is a great profile on Melanie Lynskey, who is currently killing it on both Yellowjackets and Don’t Look Up.

Doja Cat Is Putting Dr. Luke Behind Her

–Doja Cat is on the January cover of Rolling Stone Magazine. I’ve seen pics and videos of this woman a hundred times and I still can’t pick her out of a lineup. Total face blindness when it comes to her. In the interview, she was asked about her working relationship with Dr. Luke, whom Kesha has accused of abuse. “I haven’t worked with him in a very long time. A lot of those songs were…. There’s shit that he’s credited for, where I’m like, ‘‘Hmm, I don’t know, I don’t know if you did anything on that.’ The point is he’s gotten some credit for shit. And, you know, it’s whatever. I don’t think I need to work with him again. I don’t think I need to work with him in the future. I know that…I think it was definitely nice of me to work with him.”

-Well. John Mulaney and Olivia Munn secretly welcomed their baby last month, according to TMZ.

-Actress Zoe Lister-Jones says Chris Noth was often drunk and inappropriate on the set of Law & Order.

-In light of the new allegations, Peleton has pulled their ad with Noth.

-Full reviews are still embargoed until Thursday, but the first reactions to The Matrix Resurrections hit Twitter and they are mostly glowing.

–Keanu Reeves showed up for the Toronto premiere last night. He’s the only celeb who can get away with not wearing a mask (at least he asked the crowd about it).

-Covid is messing up productions again. Both The Crown and Ghosts had to halt filming this week due to active cases on set.

-Meanwhile, Variety did a new story on covid affecting Hollywood and this paragraph has me wondering which two actresses they’re talking about: “Also in recent days, rumblings about two unvaccinated actresses has grown louder and more concerned — one up for Oscar contention in a prominent indie, the other the headliner of a December tentpole. The women continue to engage in publicity for their respective projects, some in person, which has alarmed the publicists and actors who are working the circuit alongside them.” The big tentpole moves out this month are really just Matrix, West Side Story and Spider-Man, no? Mayyyyybe Nightmare Alley and Don’t Look Up, but those feel like a stretch.

-When asked if he would ever consider guesting on girlfriend Zendaya‘s show Euphoria, Tom Holland said “Listen, I have been petitioning for this for a long time and it has not happened yet.” Make it work, HBO!

-I can’t stop watching the videos of Spider-Man crowd reactions. If I wasn’t so scared to leave my house again, I’d be there this weekend.

-Meanwhile, Spider-Man: No Way Home is poised to gross $200 million at the domestic box office, which is insane even in non-pandemic times.

–George Clooney was on Kimmel last night and Julia Roberts silently crashed his interview.

-She hasn’t posted yet, but Beyonce has joined TikTok.

–Reese Witherspoon‘s reaction to hearing that Matthew McConaughey used to have a crush on her is all kinds of cute.

–Paul Rudd celebrates his fifth time hosting in this week’s SNL promos.

–Sarah Snook says Succession’s finale parking lot scene was horrible to shoot. “I’m in high heels, and it’s a 45-degree incline. There’s rocks and stones. It’s a tight dress, and my makeup is melting off. And now it’s windy.” The whole time I was watching it I was marveling at her ability to hold a squat in heels that long.

–Adrien Brody tries to find redemption in the Clean trailer.

Nicole-Kidman-Javier-Bardem-Being-Ricardo

-In their THR cover story, Oscar winners Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem revealed that they both tried to get out of Being the Ricardos a month before they were scheduled to start shooting.

-Oof, Ben Affleck is getting roasted for all the headlines pulling his quote about how his drinking came from feeling “trapped” in his marriage to Jennifer Garner. It was indeed some shitty, bullshit projecting, but he did say lots of nice things about her in that interview, too.

-Meanwhile, Affleck had a fantastic answer when asked why he thinks The Last Duel flopped at the box office. “It wasn’t one of those films that you say, ‘Oh boy, I wish my movie had worked.’ Instead, this is more due to a seismic shift that I’m seeing, and I’m having this conversation with every single person I know…One of the fundamental ways it’s changing is that the people who want to see complicated, adult, non-IP dramas are the same people who are saying to themselves, ‘You know what? I don’t need to go out to a movie theater because I’d like to pause it, go to the bathroom, finish it tomorrow.’ It’s that, along with the fact that you can watch with good quality at home.”

–Keanu Reeves continues to age like a fine wine.

–Will Forte and Seth Meyers went day drinking and things got really messy, really fast. (How far they take the “if you make me break, I will do a shot” bit is insane. “I cheated on my wife there!”)

-Here’s our first glimpse of Amanda Seyfried as Elizabeth Holmes in Hulu’s The Dropout.

–Alan Ruck is the latest Succession costar to defend Jeremy Strong‘s New Yorker profile: “Well, this is what I think. I think The New Yorker came to Jeremy. They said, “We want to do a piece about you because you’re a wonderful actor and you have this eccentric way of preparing. We think that’s a good story. You want to do it?” And he said, “Yeah,” and he said, “Yes, I do do all those things. I do whatever it takes to bring a character to life”…That’s what he believes he needs to do to get himself into his zone so he can deliver his best work. And does that make him crazy? No. Does that make him a better actor? Well, he thinks it does, but there’s a lot of other actors who are just as good who don’t do that…So I didn’t think that piece was a hit piece. Some people said, “Oh, it was an attack on Jeremy.” I didn’t think that at all. I mean, they laid out these facts. So, this is what this guy does and this is how he prepares, and this is what he’s like on set.”

-Meanwhile, I love this thread on Shiv’s outfits this season. Ever since she left politics and tried to join the corporate world, everything she wears is just a smidge ill-fitting.

-Pitch Perfect’s Adam Devine married Chloe Bridges in Cabo and Vogue has the photos (that kissing one is shockingly awkward). Rebel Wilson and Devine’s Workaholics co-stars Blake Anderson and Anders Holm attended.

-The Good Place’s Manny Jacinto is flaunting it in Flaunt Magazine.

-I’m bummed that Guillermo del Toro’s latest Oscar contender Nightmare Alley with Cate Blanchett and Bradley Cooper isn’t getting better reviews.

-If you’re in any way interested in superhero movies, avoid YouTube’s homepage today because there’s a video that very clearly spoils Spider-Man: No Way Home.

–The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent trailer stars Nicolas Cage as himself and Pedro Pascal as a wealthy fan.
