-Of course Kevin Hart is defending Dave Chappelle. Of course he is.

-HBO Max has announced a third Magic Mike movie with Channing Tatum and Steven Soderbergh. Hmmm. The first MM film (which Soderbergh directed) got better reviews, but I will ride hard for Magic Mike XXL, which he wasn’t involved with. I want a sequel to that one.

-In his new Netflix special, Dave Chappelle tries to justify button-pushing jokes about gay people, trans people, and feminists — and critics say he often fails. He defends DaBaby and JK Rowling, and says he’s on “Team Terf.” Gross.

If you’re like my family who says things like “sorry, you’re in a conservatorship” … probably thinking you’re different so they can fuck with you !!!! Thankfully I found an amazing attorney Mathew Rosengart who has helped change my life 🌹!!!!”

-In another, she also commented about her seemingly bizarre posts, saying “I feel like I have been a caged animal for half of my life …that’s exactly why I choose to direct myself … do my makeup myself … produce myself … dress myself … make music myself … feed myself … and shoot videos and pics myself”

-There were a lot of delightful appearances on late night last night. Brett Goldstein was on Seth Meyers, Daniel Craig was on Jimmy Kimmel, and the cast of Squid Game was on Jimmy Fallon.

Nina Dobrev is catfished in the new Netflix movie Love Hard, and I’ll pretty much watch any romcom, but this trailer makes me worried that she’ll end up falling for her catfisher instead of the hottie from Never Have I Ever. Let’s all just rewatch Netflix’s excellent romcom The Half of It instead and call it a day.

-I’m still watching The Morning Show — not because it’s good, but because it’s a train wreck that I can’t look away from. This week’s development makes little sense, so for this show it makes perfect sense. I’m amazed they weren’t publicizing this plot development in the trailers. (Spoilers for the latest episode, obviously).
