Love Actually

Oscar Isaac Is Going to Be a Daddy (Not Yours, Tho)

-Your internet boyfriend  Oscar Isaac is having a baby with documentarian Elvira Lind.

–Scarlett Johansson said of the Ghost In The Shell casting controversy: “I would never attempt to play a person of a different race.” Um sweetie, what do you think you just did?

-Good thing Emmy Rossum just got that Shameless pay bump: she had $150,000 worth of jewelry stolen in a home burglary.

-The U.S. version of the Love Actually sequel will have additional scenes apparently, because Laura Linney will appear in it. Her character better be incandescently happy (and have burned that wooly hat she wore to the wedding).

–Aaron Sorkin would like you to know that he is, in fact, aware of Hollywood’s diversity problem. Uh huh.

–Ryan Gosling‘s got a real shrill streak going on this month.

–Mandy Moore doesn’t want to hear your morbid Frozen/Tangled fan theories, ok?

-Here’s our first look at Jake Gyllenhaal and Tilda Swinton in Okja, Bong Joon-ho’s follow-up to Snowpiercer. This is basically the reason I renewed my Netflix subscription, y’all.

–Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman are reuniting to cohost an NBC reality competition about artisans who make things with their hands. Don’t care; will watch.

-The internet is NOT happy Cuba Gooding Jr. for lifting Sarah Paulson’s skirt.

-Is this a photo of Samantha Bee getting screeched in? How adorably Canadian!

-Welp, this blind item might explain that bizarre TV news I mentioned yesterday.

-The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air cast are reunited in this very cute pic.

-I really liked this article on how “camp” is often improperly and broadly applied to pop culture that features so-called “unlikable” female characters.

-I also dug this take on how the  “10-hour movie” trend in prestige TV is infuriating (which comes with this handy list).

-I will never NOT link to a story about Reese Witherspoon’s drunken dancing. Never!

-Here’s the Ghost Story trailer, which combines the two people I don’t need to see in another movie this decade: Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara.

 

Chris Pratt Is Keeping It Real

–Chris Pratt wrote a Facebook post about how normal his life is.

-Speaking of notes that made me laugh,  Damon Lindelof’s letter to critics that he included with The Leftovers screeners is hilarious. He drops references to Joss Whedon and Fleabag, he avoids telling critics how to do their jobs, and then he wraps it up by lightly shading Matthew Weiner.

–Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are reportedly speaking again — but only about the kids.

–Ryan Gosling explains why he laughed when La La Land had the Best Picture Oscar taken away. “I thought there was some kind of medical situation, and I had this worst-case scenario playing out in my head. And then I just heard Moonlight won and I was so relieved that I started laughing.”

-The new NYT profile on John Mayer is titled “John Mayer Knows He Messed Up. He Wants Another Chance.” Well, he’s a rich white dude so I’m guessing he’s got at least another dozen coming…

–Kate Winslet opened up about being bullied as a child: “They “teased me for wanting to act. Locked me in the cupboard. Laughed at me.”

-Wait, the Love Actually reunion will air tomorrow in the UK?! I wonder if I can book a boardroom for when this thing hits the web so I can squee over it in peace?

–David Boreanaz has already signed on to his next TV role. After eight years on Buffy/Angel, and then 12 on Bones maybe he should just sleep for a bit?

-The new Netflix drama 13 Reasons Why, exec produced by Selena Gomez, is getting glowing reviews.

-This is a good piece on how Hollywood is getting way too much credit for tiny gestures towards LGBT inclusivity.

-Remember Maggie Rogers, the NYU music student who blew Pharrell Williams away with her demo? Now she’s killing it on James Corden’s show and getting New Yorker profiles. Put her new EP in your ear holes right now!

-Oh god, the full trailer for The Handmaid’s Tale is devastating. This is going to be a hard watch given the current climate.

-The red band trailer for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri might be the best trailer I’ve seen in a long, long time. I think I fell a little bit in love with Frances McDormand just watching it. (I was already in love with Sam Rockwell. Obviously.)
