Solange Knowles

Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant Go Public

–Keanu Reeves and his girlfriend made it red carpet official this weekend. She’s beautiful, accomplished and age appropriate, which makes it really hard to hate her. Challenge accepted!

–Solange Knowles and hubby Alan Ferguson have called it quits — and she was quick to shut down rumours it’s because she was having an affair with her manager.

–Kaitlynn Carter may no longer be in relationship with Miley Cyrus, but she’s still milking it. She penned an essay in Elle that discussed their romance: “It was that same familiar force of nature; I didn’t have to think about a thing or overanalyze. It just happened and it felt exactly right. Reflecting back on our three-year friendship, I realized I’d always been drawn to her in a way I wasn’t with other friends, but until that trip it had never crossed my mind to think of her in a romantic sense.”

-In her first interview in over a year, Demi Lovato opened up about trolls and insecurities, and promised new music “soon.”

–Matthew McConaughey celebrated turning 50 by joining Instagram. Not gonna lie, “I know I want to have a monologue; I’m not sure I want to have a dialogue” is the most honest celebrity comment I’ve heard in a while.

–Sandra Bullock back at Netflix with a new movie, this one about life after prison.

-This video of Amy Acker and Julie Benz being scared and running away from the bats is extra funny because they both became famous for starring on a show about vampires.

–This tweet might be my favourite thing in a very long time. So much tea squeezed into those 45 seconds…

-Bad Boys 3 and Coming To America 2 are shooting on adjacent lots, so Will Smith arranged an impromptu video shoot.

–Queen Latifah just landing a new CBS series.  Good for her!

–Harry Styles just announced a new album and tour and everyone got the squees.

-I binged the first three episodes of The Morning Show this weekend and although I can see why critics are hating on it, there were bits of it that I think really work (mainly, Jennifer Aniston‘s performance).

-On a recent photo shoot, Kim Kardashian listened to the new album from her mortal enemy Taylor Swift, and now everyone’s confused. Is it possible she’s matured and moved on?? Nah…

-Do NOT suggest to Daniel Craig that Phoebe Waller-Bridge was hired to punch up the Bond script as a diversity hire. He will not respond well.

-Here are all the holiday movies coming to Netflix. I will watch every damn one of ’em.

-The trailer for Showtime’s Work in Progress looks super cute!

 

Jimmy Fallon Tries to Redeem Himself, Fails Miserably

-NYT did a profile on Jimmy Fallon and he came off … not great. I don’t remember another attempt at damage control that made things this much worse. I gave up after the part where he talked about people being upset by his Trump interview and how “it hurt my feelings that they didn’t like it.”

-Twitter did not take kindly to the Fallon profile, either. (It also reminded me of that passage in BossyPants where Amy Poehler destroyed him.)

-Tragic: Rosario Dawson found her cousin dead in the actress’ Los Angeles home last week. No cause of death has been released.

–Taylor Swift is reportedly dating a British actor named Joe Alwyn. She’s been laying low for the past few months — I wonder if she’ll keep it on the DL or make it Instagram official?

–Katharine McPhee is denying rumours that she’s dating 67-year-old David Foster. Wait, what??

-This video of Kendall Jenner falling off a bike has 4 million views.  Well done, Internet!

–Will Smith clashed with Pedro Almodóvar over the Netflix controversy at Cannes, and I’m on Will’s side on this one. Streaming services like Netflix make diverse, worldly content easily accessible to everyone no matter where they live.

–Johnny Depp is dating again. Who? Why? How?

–James Corden is returning to host the Grammys in 2018. So basically it’s be another year of late night white dudes hosting all the award shows? Great.

-Pitch’s EP says he would like to shoot a goodbye episode. How about a goodbye three seasons?

-It was CBS’s turn at the upfronts today, where they got pissy that This Is Us has been crowned the biggest new show (it wins in the demo, but Bull actually has more total viewers), and defended the fact that all of their new fall shows have male leads. When pushed by reporters, Les Moonves said “I think we’re fine in terms of the amount of women who are behind the camera and in front of the camera.” See everyone? They’re FINE!

-CBS also announced that Star Trek Discovery takes place “10 years before Kirk, Spock, the Enterprise” and released a new photo and trailer.

-Warner Brothers insists the Justice League movie is totally fine so just ignore all those rumours that say otherwise, guys.

-In other DCU news, Sam Raimi reportedly passed on directing The Flash movie, which Billy Crudup just exited.

-Eff ya! Jordan Peele‘s next project is a Jim Crow-era HBO horror series.

–Jeff Goldblum nearly became the voice of Apple’s Siri? Now that’s all I want.

-The article about The Handmaid’s Tale and how women (white women in particular) are complicit in systems of oppression is well worth a read.

-Hamilton star Daveed Diggs just got cast as the lead in a Snowpiercer TV show and I am here for it.

–Stephen Amell is going to be on the Red Nose Day edition of American Ninja Warrior next week, and this preview shows him nailing the course. All that salmon laddering came in handy.

–Jimmy Kimmel and Justin Theroux are bringing back your favorite 70s, ’80s, and ’90s sitcoms.

–Brad Pitt returned to Stephen Colbert‘s show to ponder life’s greatest mysteries.

-Here’s the latest trailer for Brad’s War Machine.
