Lady Gaga “Takes Out the Trash” in the House of Gucci Trailer

Lady Gaga plots a takeover — and then a murder — in the full House of Gucci trailer.

Zayn Malik is “adamantly” denying reports that he “struck” Yolanda Hadid, the mother of his girlfriend Gigi. The original TMZ report seemed to be originate from Yolanda herself, leading Zayn to shoot back by saying, “In an effort to protect that space for her I agreed to not contest claims arising from an argument I had with a family member of my partner’s who entered our home while my partner was away several weeks ago. This was and still should be a private matter but it seems for now there is divisiveness and despite my efforts to restore us to a peaceful family environment that will allow for me to co-parent my daughter in a manner in which she deserves, this has been ‘leaked’ to the press.” That’s gonna make for an awkward holiday dinner…

-In THR’s cover story on Will Ferrell, the actors says he was worried Elf would ruin his career.

-Succession’s Brian Cox has a new book out, and expresses some Logan Roy-esque opinions about his fellow celebs, including David Bowie (“A skinny kid, and not a particularly good actor. He made a better pop star, that much is for certain”), Quentin Tarantino (“I find his work meretricious. It’s all surface. Plot mechanics in place of depth. Style where there should be substance. I walked out of Pulp Fiction…That said, if the phone rang, I’d do it”), and Johnny Depp (“I mean, Edward Scissorhands. Let’s face it, if you come on with hands like that and pale, scarred-face make-up, you don’t have to do anything. And he didn’t. And subsequently, he’s done even less”). People he praises include Keanu Reeves (“A ‘seeker’ who has ‘actually become rather good over the years'”) and the late Alan Rickman (“One of the sweetest, kindest, nicest and most incredibly smart men I’ve ever met. Prior to acting he’d been a graphic designer and he brought the considered, laser-like precision of that profession to his work”).

-There’s been so much talk about film and TV crews being treated badly that it’s lovely to hear that Keanu Reeves gave his stunt team a swanky wrap gift for completing John Wick 4: Rolexes engraved with personalized messages. And not just any Rolex — the fancy diver kind.

-PAPER and Google launched an online mag that transforms the trends of 2021 into a shoppable site called 21of21 — and I’m only here for its Jennifer Coolridge photoshoot.

Dan Levy told Jimmy Kimmel that Schitt’s Creek left him with a shopping addiction. “The budget of our show was about six pennies in a shell and so when you have no money but you want to dress people in designer clothes you have to find creative ways of doing that, so I would shop the entire year save the clothes and then bring them to set and work with our costume designer to style them. It’s left me with the most horrendous shopping addiction because I was shopping on a company card and now I’m just shopping. And there’s no company card anymore.”

-I’m very glad that the Beautiful Disasters adaptation is getting some bad press. I still can’t believe this was green lighted.

Lady Gaga and Adam Driver’s Winter Wonderland

-The Queen released a short statement regarding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s bombshell Oprah interview — and she’s pleading ignorance? Oof.

Piers Morgan walked off the set of his morning show when co-presenter Alex Beresford confronted him on his treatment of Markle, saying, “I understand that you don’t like Meghan Markle. You’ve made it so clear a number of times on this program, a number of times, and I understand that you’ve got a personal relationship with Meghan Markle, or you had one, and she cut you off. She’s entitled to cut you off if she wants to. Has she said anything about you since she cut you off? I don’t think she has but yet you continue to trash her.”

-Ha ha ha. He’s now quit the show. What a snowflake.

-Meanwhile, a 2008 interview clip of John Oliver on Stephen Colbert’s show talking about Markle has resurfaced. “I would not blame her if she pulled out of this [engagement] at the last minute. I don’t think you need to have just seen the pilot episode of The Crown to get a basic sense that she might be marrying into a family that could cause her some emotional complication. They’re an emotionally stunted group of fundamentally flawed people doing a very silly pseudo-job. That’s what she’s marrying into.”

-The Crown won’t tackle Prince Harry and Meghan Markle because their drama is ongoing and not yet history. Creator Peter Morgan has previously said, “I’m much more comfortable writing about things that happened at least 20 years ago…Meghan and Harry are in the middle of their journey, and I don’t know what their journey is or how it will end.”

-Meanwhile, I really liked this piece on how Oprah uses silence better than anyone, and this one on her follow up questions and insistence on circling back when she wasn’t getting the answers she wanted.

George Clooney isn’t thrilled that Amal has begun watching ER. He told Sean Hayes, Jason Bateman and Will Arnett on their podcast: “My wife is watching them now and it’s getting me in a lot of trouble because I’d forgotten all of the terrible things (my character) was doing, picking up women.”

Elizabeth Banks is set to direct bear-centric thriller called Cocaine Bear, based on true events from 1985 when a 175-pound bear accidentally consumed over 70 ponds of cocaine that was dropped from a plane by a smuggler. I’m confused by how much I want to see this.

-Here’s the first look at Heels, the new wrestling family drama series starring Stephen Amell and Alex Ludwig. I’m also confused by how much I want to see this.

-The wording in the announcement about Kim Convenience’s ending seemed weird, no? The stars also seemed surprised by the news.

-There was a big glitch last night on HBO Max where people who were trying to watch Tom and Jerry ended up seeing Zach Synder’s Justice League — which doesn’t premiere for another 10 days. This thing is cursed.

-I agree with this piece: releasing episodes weekly makes television more fun to watch.

Four people — two from the crew and two cast members — died from covid.”

In any case, I love that Mbatha-Raw is promoting another movie but willing to answer so many questions about that one.
