Mary J Blige looks amazing in Garage magazine. She says in the interview: “What propels me is being able to get through the hard times, and rejoicing when something major happens. It’s not just about making it through, but coming out strong. Fitter, better, and stronger.”

-Poor Chrissy Teigen and John Legend. I’m horrified by all the flak she’s getting about sharing details about her miscarriage online. It happens to 1 in 4 pregnancies and there’s still such a stigma about talking about it. Most celebs only share sanitized, idealized peeks into their fabulous lives. What she’s doing right now is heroic, and all the haters and conspiracy wackos who are bullying her today are a disgrace.

This thread from a writer who once did a cover story on Paul Rudd makes me want to spend the day with Paul Rudd (more so than usual).

Hugh Jackman wears nothing but boots in this cheeky new commercial.

Michaela Coel and Donald Glover interview each other in GQ, and Glover reveals the birth of his third son with partner Michelle White.

-Congrats to Nicki Minaj, who welcomed her first child yesterday.

Chris Rock told Ellen Degeneres that Dave Chappelle’s live “Summer Camp” shows featured a lot of weed and mushrooms. “Tiffany Haddish drank the mushroom tea and cut her hair the next day. I know she likes to act like, ‘Oooh, Common told me he loved me with no hair.’ No no, it was the mushroom tea talking.”

Charlie Carver, who’s been in Teen Wolf and Desperate Housewives, says a gay man who he’d worked with previously slapped him at an Emmy party in 2015 for being too gay around “people in the business.”

Fleetwood Mac is seeing a huge boost in sales after a TikTok of a guy on a skateboard drinking cranberry juice and singing “Dreams” went viral.

-This is an interesting piece on how Amazon’s Utopia, which stars John Cusack and Rainn Wilson, shouldn’t have been released in 2020 due to its pandemic-related conspiracy theories and anti-vax bent. I didn’t even give it a shot after TV critic Alan Sepinwall tweeted that he’d “tapped out after 3 fetishistically violent eps.” Between this, The Boys, Lovecraft Country and the new season of Fargo, TV right now feels ultra violent and gory, and I have no desire to watch any of it.

-Just because 2020 can’t get any weirder, Cameron Diaz‘s 2011 film Bad Teacher is the top movie on Netflix.

-Universes colliding: Jamie Foxx, who played Electro in an Andrew Garfield-led Spider-Man movie, is back as the classic villain in the latest Spider-Man sequel, starring Tom Holland.

Lenny Kravitz covers a lot of ground in his upcoming memoir — but not the 2015 performance where we accidentally saw his junk.

-Give me all the stories about TikTok houses imploding.

-The Borat sequel just got an official title (Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan), synopsis (Borat is looking to marry off his daughter to Mike Pence) and trailer (below).

Brad Pitt, Chris Evans, Adam Driver, Scarlett Johansson Among W’s Performers of the Year

-W released its Best Performances issue and I pretty much hate all of the styling. Brad Pitt looks weirdly skinny, Adam Driver‘s face is practically covered by a cup, Scarlett Johansson looks sick and for the love of god how hard is it to put Chris Evans in a cableknit?!

Cameron Diaz, 47, announced that she and hubby Benji Madden, 40, are the proud new parents of a baby girl they named Raddix.

This photo from today’s AFI luncheon captures all of my favourite things: champagne and both of my current unlikely crushes!

Jennifer Aniston was spotted in Mexico with director Will Speck. But she’s also with her usual new years’s trip gang (including Jimmy Kimmel and Jason Bateman) so I’m not quite convinced this is a romance.

-I don’t watch Project Runway but this contestant calling out judge Karlie Kloss‘ connection to the Kusher family was glorious. Apparently her subsequent critique of his design was harsher than she’s been in any of the previous 16 episodes.

-On New Year’s Day, a young couple were struggling to take a selfie on a hiking trail in Victoria when someone walked by and asked if they’d like help. That someone was Meghan Markle.

-Also, David Foster and Katherine McPhee helped hook Prince Harry and Meghan up with the $14 million house they stayed in on a secluded waterfront on Vancouver Island over the holidays.

-Page Six is calling out People for their coverage of Michelle Williams and Thomas Kail‘s engagement/pregnancy because the mag failed to mention they were both in serious relationships when they met a few months ago.

Charlize Theron‘s reaction when asked if The Bachelor’s Peter Weber has “slid into her DMs” is hilarious: “No. I don’t even know really what a DM is, let’s be honest. Maybe yes? I don’t think so. No.”

Zoe Kravitz shared pictures from her June wedding in Paris to Karl Glusman, including a shot featuring her Big Little Lies castmates, and a lovely photo of Lisa Bonet, Lenny Kravitz and Jason Momoa watching her walk down a staircase (which would have been even more lovely if Momoa hadn’t been wearing Birkenstocks).

Ansel Elgort‘s hand placement in the photo where he’s lifting up his girlfriend is…something.

-YouTubers Tana Mongeau and Jake Paul are “taking a break” after five months of supposed marriage.

-Outlander is still on? Here’s the season 5 trailer.

Margot Robbie says she used a fake Twitter account to observe how “young millennial conservative girls” operate before shooting Bombshell. I assume every celeb has shadow social media accounts, no?

DaBaby allegedly robbed a promoter of $80 cash, an iPhone 7, and a credit card before pouring apple juice on him. Wow.

-I liked this piece on how Greta Gerwig managed to redeem the character of Amy in Little Women.

-The reviews for Schitt’s Creek season 6 are glowing. I’m still only on season 3 so I have my work cut out for me…

-Killing Eve just got renewed for a fourth season and I kind of wish it hadn’t.

-I don’t know why this months-old photo of Paul Rudd seemed to be all over my Twitter TL today, but I’m not complaining.

-This year’s Coachella lineup is very meh.

-It’s weird that Uncut Gems is still releasing trailers when it’s already out in some cities, but go see it! I dug it.

Mindy Kaling Discusses Her “Weird As Hell” Relationship with BJ Novak

mindy-kaling-instyle

Mindy Kaling looks lovely on the cover of InStyle, in which she talks about her relationship with BJ Novak (“romantically charged camaraderie with loud arguments”) and why she wants kids but maybe not marriage.

Miles Teller rescued a pregnant woman from a rip tide because his heroics extend way beyond making Shailene Woodley seem tolerable.

Anna Kendrick dropped some f-bombs on the Pitch Perfect 2 red carpet, managed to make it adorable.

-God bless The Washington Post for delving deep into the mysterious situation that had two primary Good Wife characters not sharing any scenes for years. I really, really liked Dan Fienberg’s quote in that piece about how manipulative and insulting to the audience Julianna Margulies and Archie Panjabi‘s fake scenes together these past two episodes have been. (And we’re all assuming last night’s was green-screened, right?) I was texting back and forth with Nicole last night during the show and was so angry that the writers expected us to suddenly care about their friendship when they haven’t been on screen together in 50+ eps. Hard pass!

-In any case, critics are tearing apart last night’s season finale. On-set tension or not, that was just bad. And yet, CBS just renewed it.

-Actually CBS basically renewed everythingexcept for Battle Creek and the terrible, terrible Stalker.

-Over on Fox, they announced The X Files revival will premiere in January 2016, American Idol is ending, and Empire has added Chris Rock, Lenny Kravitz and Alicia Keys. Also, Sleepy Hollow is going up against Shondaland on Thursday nights so colour it screwed.

-Meanwhile, NBC unveiled its fall lineup and it’s … not good. Blindspot may have potential, and critics seemed to enjoy the sizzle reels of Eva Longoria‘s Hot and Bothered, and Megan Mullally’s You, Me and the End of the World, but there’s not a lot of buzz for the others. And seriously, how is a “frazzled lady professional” show like Heartbreaker still getting made in 2015?!

Amy Schumer‘s latest skit is about men who want to have sex with beer.

-Are Jake Gyllenhaal and Ruth Wilson still on? Or is he with Rachel McAdams? Don’t fail me, internet!

-Here’s the new Orange Is the New Black trailer.

Henry Cavill is a walking PSA for why stars need stylists.

James McAvoy shaved off his hair. His beautiful, beautiful hair.

-National treasure Colin Hanks made an impassioned plea for more Star Wars merch for girls.

-Critics are loving the new Mad Max movie, which is currently at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

-Here’s the trailer for Unexpected starring Cobie Smulders, which got great buzz at Sundance.
