Succession’s Sarah Snook Secret Wedding

-Succession star Sarah Snook revealed she got married to comedian Dave Lawson during COVID lockdown — and it sounds the premise of an excellent romcom. She told Vogue Australia, “At the beginning of the pandemic last year, I got locked down in Melbourne with one of my best mates and we fell in love…We’ve been friends since 2014, lived together, traveled together, always excited to see each other, but totally platonic. We’ve just never been single at the same time. I proposed and we got married in February in my backyard.”

-Meanwhile, last night’s Succession season premiere was worth the two-year wait.

–Sean Penn’s wife has already filed for divorce after a year of marriage.

–Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are engaged, and that’s how I found out her family calls them “Kravis.”  Is there a way I can un-know this?

–Adele is doing a two-hour special on CBS airing on Nov 14, where she’ll perform her hits and never-before-heard songs along with an exclusive interview with Oprah. It’ll air on Global here.

-Meanwhile, Adele says that she played her new album for Drake and asked his opinion. “I’m like, ‘Do you think this is like, what people want or not want?’ And he was like, ‘Absolutely.'”

-Queer Eyes’ Jonathan Van Ness, Jameela Jamil, Sara Ramirez, Angelica Ross, TS Madison, Eureka O’Hara and Colton Haynes are among the stars reportedly working on a PSA to support Netflix’s trans workers who are planning a walkout on Thursday.

–Billy Porter was not impressed by all the attention Harry Styles got for wearing a dress on the cover of Vogue — because he led the way. “I changed the whole game. I. Personally. Changed. The. Whole. Game. And that is not ego, that is just fact. I was the first one doing it and now everybody is doing it.

–Emma Watson broke her red carpet hiatus — with pants.

–Zendaya continues to crush it on the Dune press tour.

-A guy made a song based on the texts his mother sent him while she watched You, and it’s hilarious. (I’m halfway through the new season and it’s really, really good.)

-Disney just pushed back a bunch of its release dates. Sequels for Marvel’s Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Ant-Man and Thor — plus the next Indiana Jones movie — are all being delayed.

-The Y: The Last Man team is looking for a new network home after FX on Hulu canceled the series. It’s really strange that FX would announce this before the season’s last three episodes even aired.

-The news that Mel Gibson will lead the John Wick prequel at Starz is not going over well. The Continental will explore the origin behind the hotel-for-assassins in the John Wick universe, but any enthusiasm people had for this prequel seems to have evaporated with this casting news. Hard pass.

-I don’t watch The Great but these images of Gillian Anderson in season 2 are tempting me.

-The Ridley Scott–directed, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck–cowritten film The Last Duel flopped at the box office.

-Every new trailer Jeremy Renner’s new series Mayor of Kingstown is more incoherent than the last.

-The first full trailer for The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson, debuted Saturday at the DC FanDome virtual event, giving fans a glimpse at director Matt Reeves’ DARK take on the Caped Crusader.

-Other trailers that debuted at DC FanDome include Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam, John Cena’s Peacemaker, and Ezra Miller’s The Flash.

-Here’s the first trailer for Maggie Gyllenhaal‘s haunting directorial debut, The Lost Daughter, starring Olivia Colman, Dakota Johnson, Peter Sarsgaard and Paul Mescal. It’s adapted from Elena Ferrante‘s book and was well-received on the festival circuit.

Stop Shipping Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt

–Jennifer Aniston threw a 50th birthday bash this weekend and the guest list was insane (George, Amal, Gwyneth, Reese, Sandra, Kate, Orlando, Katy, Demi, RDJ, Courteney, Ellen, etc.) but the guest that everyone’s buzzing about today is her ex-hubby Brad Pitt. Not surprisingly, people from her camp are already shooting down talk of a reconciliation, pointing out that they only chatted briefly and “they definitely aren’t dating or on that path. They are friendly, but that’s it.”

-God, I could watch this video of Anne Hathaway shading James Franco for hanging her out to dry at the Oscars on repeat for a month.

–Chris Pratt responded to Ellen Page‘s criticism of his church with a long-winded, poorly designed IG story.

-Congrats to Supergirl’s Melissa Benoist, who announced her engagement to former costar Chris Wood.

-Fleabag season 2 is starting in March.

-Hulu is delaying the third season of The Handmaid’s Tale until June, putting it out of Emmy contention. (They claim it’s not because of GoT, but come on.)

-Hulu also previewed the new Veronica Mars reboot, promising a more mature take.

-The official website for Captain Marvel (which is set in the 90s) looks like it was built on Angelfire and it’s total perfection!

-The BAFTAs took place in London this weekend, and Olivia Colman gave another perfect speech (“We’re gonna get so pissed later!”) while Cate Blanchett looked like she was collecting infinity stones.

–Trevor Noah‘s thoughts on the Liam Neeson debacle are worth a listen.

-As part of her cover story with Justin, Hailey Baldwin answered Vogue’s 73 questions. It’s awkwardly stiff.

–Chris Brown needs to stay the hell away from Cardi B. And, you know, everyone else.

-I really liked this profile on Roma’s Yalitza Aparicio, which challenges the fairy tale narrative that’s been building all season.

-Did Sean Penn really write a column about how Bradley Cooper should have been nominated for Best Director? Really?! It’s his FIRST movie! I would have rather seen Destroyer’s Karyn Kusama or Can You Ever Forgive Me?’s Marielle Heller get a nom before Cooper.

-Oscars is relegating four categories to commercial breaks, including editing and cinematography. You know, that things that actually make movies good.

-No surprise here: Bryan Singer‘s Red Sonja has been put on the back burner.

–Lin-Manuel Miranda will guest star on Brooklyn Nine-Nine. He basically tweeted that show into survival, so this is lovely.

-It looks like Warner Bros is actually going to pull Friends from Netflix for their own streaming app.

-Did you miss the Grammys last night? Here’s the red carpet recap.

-Last night during the Grammys, we got our first look at Will Smith as the blue genie in Disney’s live-action adaptation of Aladdin — and it’s really, really bad. The teaser launched a million Arrested Development jokes.

Nicole Kidman Looks Ageless on Marie Claire

Nicole-Kidman-Marie-Claire-October-2018

-This Nicole Kidman cover photo from Marie Claire looks like it could have been taken 20 years ago (as do the accompanying pics). It’s the same in her new movie Destroyer — for which she’s absolutely getting an Oscar nod — which switches between a time when she’s a fresh-faced cop, to when she’s near the end of her career and looks and moves like she’s 70. We had really, really good seats to the Q&A and she looks pretty damn great in real life these days.

–Gwyneth Paltrow posted a photo from the set of Avengers 4  with Robert Downey Jr. (I had no idea that Pepper and Tony’s ship name was Pepperony — but that’s *adorable*).

-Wait, Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin really did get married at a courthouse last week? She denied it, but People is sticking with their story.

–Adam Driver will host the SNL premiere, with Kanye West as the musical guest.

–Sean Penn says the #MeToo movement “is to divide men and women.” He explains, “We don’t know what’s a fact in many of the cases. Salacious is as soon as you call something a movement that is really a series of many individual accusers, victims, accusations, some of which are unfounded.” I mean, who is asking Sean Penn of all people to comment on this? The man has a long history of anger issues and arrests (and possible abuse). How dare he even pretend his opinion matters here?

-In other “the world is terrible and has learned nothing” news, Bryan Singer is in talks to direct Red Sonja despite all the lawsuits, sexual misconduct allegations, and also the fact that he was fired from his last movie, Bohemian Rhapsody, for not showing up for days. Red Sonja is an iconic female comic heroine — how are they not getting a woman to direct this potential franchise-starter?! But no — according to THR, “Sources say Millennium will pay Singer top dollar for the assignment, which is seen as a step toward rehabilitating the director’s image.”

-Meanwhile, here’s an interesting piece on why TIFF rejected a 2014 documentary about sexual abuse in Hollywood that included the allegations against Singer.

-This piece on what women want from Jian Ghomeshi nails it: “Going away for a while” is not the same as “atonement.”

–Tom Arnold and Survivor producer Mark Burnett got into some kind of scuffle at an Emmy pre-party on Sunday night. Burnett’s wife Roma Downey claims she got hurt when Arnold “tried to ambush” them, to which Arnold responded “Bullshit. You lie your crazy husband attacked me you psycho. I’m filing police report & suing you for defamation.” Oh and Patton Oswald and Kevin Bacon witnessed the whole thing.

-I’m so here for Angelina Jolie to star in a revenge thriller.

-I’m not surprised that Green Book won the top prize at TIFF (the audience went crazy at the screening I was at), but I’m predicting a major backlash to this film before the Oscar campaign wraps up.

-The Supergirl blooper reel has a bit where Melissa Benoist falls asleep and starts snoring during a scene, and I’ve never related to an actress more.

-Man, a lot of the prestige TV that’s debuting over the next few weeks has divided critics. Some love Emma Stone and Jonah Hill in Netflix’s Maniac; others not so much. They’re also split on Maya Rudolph and Fred Armisen’s Forever, and Hulu’s The First with Sean Penn.

-The first look at Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker movie did not go over well this weekend.

–Cate Blanchett played “Fill in the Blanchett” on Ellen, and talked about how she’s “deeply uncool” in her household.

-Here’s the first full trailer for Mary Poppins Returns. Ok, I’m in.
