Succession Is Coming Back This Fall

-It’s Logan v. Kendall in the new Succession season 3 teaser. I cannot wait!

-I’m underwhelmed by Gwen Stefani’s Vera Want dress. Her original pink dress was just too high a bar to clear. At least she went non-traditional for the reception. The wedding ceremony was officiated by Carson Daly.

–Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde are PDAing their way through Italy. Good for them.

-Every E. Alex Jung is a must-read. But this one on Jennifer Coolridge? Its a must-read-right-now. It’s filled with tidbits like this: “I always said I was Muffin Hemingway [at the clubs] if I couldn’t get in. One time I got thrown out of a club because I was behaving badly, and they said, ‘Don’t ever come back here, Muffin!'”

-Congrats to Being Human and Hawaii 5-0 star Meghan Rath, who just revealed her pregnancy.

-I just finished Cruel Summer a few days ago, which was a fun, twisty little show. The second season will move ahead without creator Bert V. Royal. According to the Hollywood Reporter, he quit his Freeform series after clashing with an exec last summer just after the pilot finished shooting.

-This is a very well-written review of the Gossip Girl reboot, which says the show wants to start a revolution but has no idea how. I also like this one, which reminds us it’s harder than it looks to make really good trash.

–Seth Rogen wins Twitter this week with this tweet: “Once I was in the spa in a hotel in Vegas getting a massage. When I finished I turned over and to my shock Paul Rudd was massaging me. He saw me go in and convinced the masseuse to let him take over, thinking I’d notice immediately. I didn’t, and Paul did the entire rest of it.”

-This seems to be implying that Jennifer Lawrence is pregnant? I kind of thought she already was, but that was me mixing her up with her BFF Emma Stone.

–Larry Rudolph has stepped down as the Britney Spears‘ manager after 25 years. “It has been over 2 1/2 years since Britney and I last communicated, at which time she informed me she wanted to take an indefinite work hiatus. Earlier today, I became aware that Britney had been voicing her intention to officially retire.”

-Her long-time attorney (who was chosen for her), Sam Ingham, is also stepping down.

-I don’t watch Top Chef but by most accounts this season was one of its best, so it sucks that the winner is now surrounding by controversy.

More Ted Lasso Is On Its Way

–Billie Eilish might be dating actor Matthew Tyler Vorce.

–Demi Lovato apologized for going apeshit on a frozen yogurt shop. She had called them out for their sugar-free, dairy-free, and low-fat options, calling them a “diet culture vulture”. They responded that those were options for customers with health restrictions such as vegans, celiacs, and diabetics. It was such a bizarre story to begin with, but the optics of going after a small business right now didn’t help.

-TikTok Star Bryce Hall has been sued for assault and battery after an altercation at an LA restaurant was caught on camera.

–Pete Davidson made it clear to Jake Paul that he’s not a fan.

-The cast of The Good Place (minus Kristen Bell) had a sleepover.

–E. Alex Jung profiles are always a must-read, but his conversation with Mads Mikkelsen is an instant classic. Mikklesen talks about the Hannibal finale (“We actually did a couple of takes of the very last scene where we were looking at each other, and it was a little too obvious — it was almost a kiss. Me and Hugh [Dancy] were like, ‘Why not? We have a couple of takes. Let’s do one. It might be cool’…Bryan [Fuller] loved it, but he was like, ‘Too much, guys. It’s too obvious'”), what it was like to become recognizable in Denmark after playing a TV cop (“Since then, I’ve never bought a normal Coca-Cola. It’s always like, “Here’s your cola, Master Mads,” or “Get your fucking Coke, and get out of my shop.” There’s no neutral Coca-Cola anymore”), taking Rihanna‘s fake nails from the set of the “Bitch Better Have My Money” video (When we were done, I was like, “Are you done with them? Can I have some of them? I have a few friends who’re going to be so jealous when I show them this'”), and possibly the best career advice I’ve ever heard (“My approach to what I do in my job — and it might even be the approach to my life — is that everything I do is the most important thing I do…That means I will be ambitious with my job and not with my career. That’s a very big difference, because if I’m ambitious with my career, everything I do now is just stepping-stones leading to something — a goal I might never reach, and so everything will be disappointing. But if I make everything important, then eventually it will become a career”).

–Julia Roberts dances it out in her new Chopard ad.

Priyanka Chopra Finds the Silver Lining

Priyanka Chopra

-In a new podcast FKA Twigs talks about the “massive wake-up call” in her allegedly abusive relationship with Shia LaBeouf: when she says he threw her against a car at a gas station and “basically strangled” her in front of bystanders.  “Nobody did anything. That was a really low moment for me because I felt like I would never be believed…Nobody stepped in. For me, that was a real moment of like, ‘Okay, no one is going to believe me,’ because I’m the type of person if I saw something happening, I will go and help somebody, that’s just who I am.”

-Variety’s excellent Actor on Actor pairings continue, with today’s interview between Carey Mulligan and Zendaya. Mulligan talked about calling out Variety’s sexiest review of Promising Young Woman (“It made me concerned that in such a big publication, an actress’ appearance could be criticized and it could be accepted as completely reasonable criticism. It’s important to call out those things, because they seem small & they seem insignificant…But it stuck with me because I think it’s these kind of everyday moments that add up”), while Zendaya expressed gratitude for her Disney roots (“That’s where I started, and I learned so much from that experience… I embrace it a little bit. It’s part of my heritage to a degree”).

-On last night’s Tonight Show, Jared Leto delved deeper into his unique experience finding out about the pandemic following a 12-day silent meditation retreat where he had no access to phones or television. I remember the total panic of that week and this being the only story that made me smile.

–Penélope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Lily-Rose Depp, and Vanessa Paradis were some of the only guests seated at Chanel’s socially distanced front row.

-For some reason a skateboarding magazine interviewed director Werner Herzog and it was weirdly great.

-There’s a Revenge reunion happening in a couple weeks, and it sounds as dramatic as the show. Christa B. Allen said she’s been a victim of “bullying” after being left off of the guest list. Madeleine Stowe, who is also not attending, seemed to take her side, saying of their time on the set, “I saw her endure some things at 18 years of age that would bring a weaker person to their knees, but she has such inner dignity that she gracefully kept moving.”

-The stuff going on with Kellyanne Conway and her daughter is wildly disturbing.
