Ta-Nehisis Coastes guest edited the Vanity Fair September issue, which features acclaimed artist Amy Sherald‘s painting of Breonna Taylor, and LaToya Ruby Frazier‘s photographs of Taylor’s mother and sister.

Drew Barrymore appeared on Hot Ones and confirmed a long-standing rumor that Errol Flynn and W.C. Fields stole the body of her grandfather, John Barrymore, from the morgue and brought it to a poker game. She added: “I hope my friends do the same for me… That is the kind of spirit I can get behind. Just prop the old bag up, let’s have a few last rounds.”

Jennifer Garner hosted an adorable Q&A with the cast of Schitt’s Creek.

-Glee star Lea Michele and husband Zandy Reich welcome their first child, a son named Ever Leo.

Britney Spears’ conservatorship, which was set to expire this weekend, has been extended to Feb. 1 of next year. The judge asked her lawyer to file a petition with the court to remove her father as conservator by Sept. 18.

-In her upcoming YouTube documentary, Paris Hilton breaks her silence about the physical and verbal abuse she claims to have suffered at Provo Canyon School she attended as a teen.

-Charmed co-stars Rose McGowan and Alyssa Milano spent the weekend feuding on Twitter.

Chrissy Teigan has offered to buy Amazon wishlists for teachers.

-Teen Wolf’s Tyler Posey took to Instagram to decry the attacks on three trans women in Los Angeles last week. “I’ve been with trans women before. I’m confident with my sexuality…I don’t give a shit what anyone thinks about me. I’m not making this about it. It just pisses me off. To the people who were laughing and filming it, I don’t know. This is a sad day. Maybe my share will help people get the f*ck over whatever they’re holding onto.”

-I don’t watch Selling Sunset but feel like the rest of the world does? In any case, Mary Fitzgerald and Romain Bonnet were actually married two whole years before their TV wedding.

Meghan Markle was hugely criticized this weekend for *checks notes* encouraging people to vote.

Larry King said Saturday that two of his children have died within roughly three weeks of each other. His son Andy passed away of a heart attack in late July, while his daughter Chaia died last week after recently being diagnosed with lung cancer.

Carol Burnett is seeking to become the legal guardian of her teenage grandson as her daughter struggles with substance abuse.

Russell Crowe‘s road-rage thriller Unhinged made a decent $4 million this weekend. Playing in roughly 1,823 theaters, it’s the first new wide release to hit the big screen since cinemas went dark in March.

-Meanwhile, Warner Bros says Tenet can only play in drive-ins if indoor theatres in that particular market are open, and they want to hold back the movie “from areas where traditional venues are closed in order to help preserve the twists and turns of the plot.” Um, who’s gonna break the news to them about a little thing called The Internet?

-Here’s an interview with the creator of DeuxMoi, an Instagram account that has blown up over the last few months because it posts anonymous DMs about celebrity encounters. They usually post way too much for me to keep up with daily, but I enjoy dipping in. These past few weeks have been mostly about negative encounters with Lauren Graham, Ben Stiller and Katy Perry, and nice encounters with Snoop Dogg, Steve Carell and Michelle Monaghan.

-Check out Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader in the first trailer for director Matt Reeves’ gritty The Batman.

-Here’s the trailer for Steve McQueen‘s Mangrove, which tells the true story of the Mangrove 9, a group of Black activists who clashed with London police during a protest march in 1970 and their highly publicized trial that followed. It stars Letitia Wright, Shaun Parkes, and Malachi Kirby.

Leslie Jones Had the Most Fun at the Emmys

Leslie Jones was all of us by getting selfies at the Emmys with pretty much every TV star alive. And also John Mayer.

-Like Leslie, Pedro Pascal also seemed to  make the most of his time at the Emmys.

-That was a shockingly great Emmy Awards, right? It ended on time, was surprisingly inclusive, and (Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Game of Thrones’ aside) honoured plenty of new blood and niche series (Regina King won the ONLY Emmy for a network show last night). It’s the first time in years the show didn’t leave me rage-y. I even loved most of the dresses!

-Of course, the Emmy telecast hit an all-time ratings low because life.

-The kids from Stranger Things performed “Uptown Funk” at the Emmys preshow. God, I love them so much.

-Speaking of the Stranger Things cast, Steve’s hair really does look like that IRL!

Tom Hiddleston flirting with Priyanka Chopra makes a lot more sense to me than whatever that Hiddleswift stuff was.

-Also, the after-party photos are further proof that we all need to go drinking with Matthew Rhys.

-Friday Night Light stars Connie Britton and Kyle Chandler gave me all the feels this week, first with her birthday wish to him and then with their reunion pic.

-Whoa. I don’t usually put a lot of stock in Radar stories but they’ve reportedly been working on this one about an A-lister involved in a a Hollywood pedophile sex ring for four years. And whoa. We’ll have to see if anything comes of it.

-My Name Is Earl star Jason Lee is the latest celeb to flee Scientology.

Shailene Woodley says she’s “always dreamed” of writing a book on female masturbation. It’s good to have dreams.

Bella Thorne (who was reportedly dating her brother’s ex-girlfiend recently) was spotted kissing Tyler Posey (who recently pretended to come out). Kids today!

Gillian Anderson has no problem with all the talk about reinventing James Bond with her as the lead. (Nor do I.)

-I have yet to finish Fargo season 2, but season 3 will star Ewan McGregor, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Carrie Coon so I’m already in.

-Fall TV officially starts tonight with the premiere of the new Kristen Bell sitcom The Good Place, which is getting great reviews. (The fact that NBC is airing three episodes this week before settling into its regular timeslot is hella confusing, though.)

-Probably the best-reviewed new show of the season, This Is Us, also debuts this week. The only bad review I’ve read so far still makes me want to watch it, just for this: “This Is Us is invigoratingly heinous. Bad TV is a commonplace, but a true Mount Everest of bullshit is rare.” (Though I swear to god, if the big twist in the pilot is that Mandy Moore dies, I’m gonna throat punch someone. Girlfriend’s been trying to land a steady TV gig for a decade!)

Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow played Friends trivia and killed it.

-Aww, this really bums me out: Anthony Bourdain and his wife Ottavia Busia have split after 9 years together.

-This is a really good look at how FX became TV’s best, most reliable network.

Michael Shannon was my favourite thing about Nocturnal Animals. I love him. I also love that he just freely slammed directors, saying Woody Allen and Alexander Payne are “not nice.

Amal Clooney says that George gets worried when she takes ISIS leaders to trial. No doubt.

-I had a great time at this year’s TIFF (which you can read all about here), but I fully agree with Variety’s take on how it’s become a bit of a dumping ground. It’s trying to be both an industry buying hotspot and a cinephile’s festival, and it can no longer pull it off.

-Yikes. Will Ferrell just dropped out of his next project days before shooting was supposed to begin.

-Wait, the girl who played Marissa is joining The Good Wife spinoff? But I’ve already vowed to not watch it!

-Everyone’s hating on Jimmy Fallon for his Donald Trump interview but like, what exactly were they expecting?

-This article on the significance behind Shonda Rhimes’ characters’ alcohol preferences is the perfect antidote to Mondays.

-I mean, does a couple that’s only been together 6 weeks really warrant articles on their breakup?

-Here’s a very, very brief look at Passengers, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt.

No #SquadGoals Here; Critics Skewer Suicide Squad

-I happened to be on Twitter last when the Suicide Squad review embargo was lifted and oof! The critics are absolutely hating on it, so much so that dumb fanboys are now petitioning to have Rotten Tomatoes shut down — which is kind of like complaining that a newspaper prints too many crime stories. (This is why I now try to limit my tweets about superhero TV; DC fanboys are the WORST.) Meanwhile, THR’s deep dive into what went wrong with this movie is fascinating. Warner Bros execs were reportedly so blindsided and rattled by the critical response to Batman v. Superman that they even brought in the team who made the (admittedly great) first Suicide Squad trailer to help tweak the movie, which is…wow.

Channing Tatum is set to star in Splash remake, playing the mermaid while Jillian Bell will play the character originally played by Tom Hanks. I love this news, especially since Tatum is never funnier than when he’s with Bell. Have you seen his Idiotsitter episode? If not, this clip should convince you to rectify that.

-Teen Wolf star Tyler Posey has apologized after pretending to come out. Wait, what?

Bradley Cooper allowed James Corden to tase him. I really wish I had that opportunity after seeing All About Steve.

-Surprise! We’re getting a new Britney Spears album this month!

-Welp. This isn’t good news for the Cruel Intentions reboot starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. NBC is reportedly looking at “alternative platforms” to air it.

-Pro gun nuts ran Daisy Ridley off Instagram.

Jonah Hill told Fallon a story about the time he accidentally emailed Drake his daily food journal (the point of said story is to let y’all know that he has Drake in his contacts).

-I cannot believe I forgot to record The Hills anniversary special when I was away.  Sounds like they showed lots of forth wall-breaking clips. (Spencer Pratt, who was not invited, still managed to add his commentary.)

-As if you didn’t already love the kids from Stranger Things, it turns out they’re all really good singers.

-Meanwhile, as good as Stranger Things is, this is a really great piece on how the show misses the mark with its female characters.

-I don’t know what makes me happier: that there are a bunch of videos floating around of the Arrow cast breaking into showtunes from Hamilton, or that in each one, the guy who plays Det. Lance seems really annoyed by it.

-Once again at the TCAs, HBO was somehow blindsided by questions on its shows defaulting to sexual violence against women. Sigh.

-Meanwhile at the TCAs, Archie Panjabi gracefully deflected questions about her messy exit from The Good Wife. Proper ’cause that wasn’t the place for those kinds of questions, but can she just go ahead and do a Vanity Fair tell-all interview already?

Julia Stiles didn’t love riding a motorcycle with Matt Damon on the Bourne set.

-Excuse me while I go build a shrine to this photo Joshua Jackson just posted on Instagram…

Tatiana Maslany heads to the Arctic but can’t escape her past in her new movie Two Lovers and a Bear.
