Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Are New Parents

-Congrats to Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra, who’ve welcomed a baby girl via surrogate.

Adele posted a tearful video about cancelling her Vegas residency the day before she was set to start. “We’ve tried absolutely everything we that can to pull it together in time, and for it to be good enough for you, but we’ve been absolutely destroyed by delivery delays and COVID… half my team and half my crew are down with COVID they still are and it’s been impossible to finish the show.” It’s a heartbreaking video but god, I hope she figures out a way to make it up to the fans who’d already travelled to Vegas for this weekend’s show. She’s clearly there already so I wonder if she could host an event for any ticket holder who can prove they booked their hotel before she made the announcement or something?

-Another rough day in celebrity deaths. Singer Meat Loaf has died at aged 74, while comedian Louie Anderson has died at 68 following a battle with cancer.

-Covid keeps screwing up Tom Cruise‘s plans. Mission: Impossible 7 & 8 have both been delayed to 2023 and 2024, respectively.

Jennifer Coolidge told Jimmy Fallon that Ariana Grande doing an impression of her on his show helped her career. The actress, who starred in Grande’s “Thank U Next” music video, shared, “You should know, it was sort of the beginning of a lot of cool things that happened for me. I was going through a dead zone, not much was going on. Then Ariana did this imitation on your show and you encouraged her. And then this ball got rolling.”

-Meanwhile, she’s returning to The White Lotus for season two, thank god.

-Supernatural fans, rejoice: a cast-heavy rewatch podcast series is coming.

Cynthia Nixon responded to Chris Noth’s removal from the finale of HBO Max’s And Just Like That following allegations of sexual assault. “I think we were very lucky that those changes were able to be made. And I think we are very proud of our show.”

-Speaking of And Just Like That, Sarita Choudhury (who plays Carrie’s real estate agent Seema) says she was “shocked” by the flak the show got.

Whoopi Goldberg is back in the trailer for Star Trek: Picard’s second season.

Bill Paxton’s family can seek punitive damages against Cedars-Sinai in a wrongful death suit. The late actor’s family claims the hospital and his doctor covered up their negligence by not performing an autopsy and they didn’t learn one hadn’t been done until after the actor had been cremated.

-Um, should I be watching Peacemaker? ‘Cause this clip of Adrian Chase/Vigilante is amazing (and not cause it stars the cute guy from Bridgerton and UnREAL).

Will Forte returns to his SNL roots in the promos for this weekend’s show.

Priyanka Chopra on the “Professional Hazard” of Social Media

Priyanka Chopra vanity fair

Priyanka Chopra covers Vanity Fair and talks about the social media frenzy that followed after she dropped Nick Jonas‘ name from her Instagram handle. “It’s a very vulnerable feeling, actually, that if I post a picture, everything that’s behind me in that picture is going to be zoomed in on, and people are going to speculate.”

-In a new Harper’s Bazaar profile, artist Anna Marie Tendler reflected on her “surreal and shocking” divorce from comedian John Mulaney.

Britney Spears has responded to her sister Jamie Lynn’s recent ABC News interview in multiple Instagram posts. Britney’s first post mentioned that she had a fever of 104 but her security team wouldn’t leave the premises to get her medicine (or, presumably, a covid test?!), while her latest post said that her sister had “stooped to a whole new level of LOW” and denied Jamie Lynn’s story that she once grabbed a knife and locked them in a room.

Pete Davidson won’t be hosting the Oscars, mostly because he’s too tied to NBC and the show airs on ABC.

Anne Hathaway‘s new look is giving people Devil Wears Prada vibes.

Geena Davis says she was once denied a role because the leading man said she was too old, even though he was older than her.

-This is an excellent debate on the quality of Station Eleven. Personally, I think it’s the best show I’ve seen in ages, but it took me a while to figure out that I liked the odd numbered episodes so much more, and that was because the even numbered ones tended to focus on the travelling symphony. I still haven’t watched the finale yet cause I adored episode 9 so much, I kind of want to savor it.

-Speaking of buzzy shows, I like this piece about how Yellowjackets is great because you can either get really deep into theorizing or just ignore the theories completely. (I need to catch up on episodes, but I also think the comparison to Annihilation is spot on.)

-Aw man, Netflix is raising its prices again in the US and Canada.

-Orange Is the New Black’s Danielle Brooks showed off her wedding pics. That dress is stunning.

-Here’s the trailer for Netflix’s limited series Inventing Anna, which is Shonda Rhimes‘ latest and is getting lots of buzz.

Priyanka Chopra’s Entrepreneurial Spirit

Priyanka Chopra covers Vogue India and talked about opening a restaurant and launching a beauty label despite the pandemic. “When the pandemic started, I was sleeping in, vegetating on the couch, binge-watching, not working out, eating whatever I wanted. I was like, ‘This is going to be a vacation.’ But when there was no end in sight, I understood that people were going to figure out how to work in spite of that.”

-It took weeks but it finally happened: Mike Richards has been fired as executive producer of Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. Michael Davies, the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire executive producer, will take over production duties in the interim.

Stephen Amell said on a podcast that he’s “deeply ashamed” of being kicked off a flight for drunkenness in June. I can’t believe this didn’t come up during his recent Heels promo tour but it was likely a banned topic. Regardless, it’s a good apology. Of course, he previously screwed up and gave a good apology — only to take it back years later on this very podcast!

-Survivor favourite Parvati Shallow is requesting a temporary restraining order against her estranged husband for domestic violence protection.

Jeremy Renner and Kyle Chandler break bad in the Mayor of Kingston trailer, a new Paramount+ show.

-The final No Time To Die trailer dropped this morning — and then was quickly taken down. But it’s back up! It leans into the fact that this is (supposedly) Daniel Craig’s final Bond film.
