Jason Momoa Will Be Joining The Cast Of The “Dune” Remake
The Dune remake that’s set to star everybody’s favorite little peach fucker Timothée Chalamet is about to get a hot beef injection with the addition of everybody’s favorite fish-man (sorry James Cameron, you lose again!) Jason Momoa. Jason will be playing the character of sword-master (tee-hee) Duncan Idaho. According to Deadline:
Momoa joins an already stellar cast of Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya, Oscar Isaac, Dave Bautista, Stellan Skarsgård, Charlotte Rampling, Javier Bardem, and Josh Brolin. The script was written by (Denis) Villeneuve, Eric Roth and Jon Spaihts.
I tried to read Dune once and it did not go well (I kept falling asleep). I also tried to watch the 1984 David Lynch one, and that did not go well either (I fell asleep). Then my nerdy ass husband tried to make me watch the miniseries from 2000 that was on the Sci-Fi Channel and well, I think you can guess how that went (you guys, it was so boring and I was really tired, ok). Therefore, I only know enough about Dune to make jokes about spice eyes and sand worms. Which is plenty good enough for me! Thank god for Wikipedia though. I can tell you that Jason probably won’t have to cut off his hair and get divorced from Lisa Bonet, because according to the 1965 novel, Duncan is described as “a handsome man with ‘curling black hair’ to whom women are easily attracted”. So it sounds like they hit the nail on the head there.

Oh, It’s Just A Bunch Of A-List Actresses Looking Bored And Constipated At A Glamorous Funeral
Vanity Fair put out their annual Hollywood issue and it’s a million times better than last year’s cover which had a bunch of actors looking like raggedy messes who just had a drunken orgy in the bushes after prom. But it’s not that hard to be better than last year’s cover. All Vanity Fair had to do was not put Channing Tatum wearing Amy Adams as a scarf on the cover and boom: Instantly better!
For this year’s issue, they took 13 actresses, dressed them in fancy funeral clothes, put them in front of Annie Leibovitz’s camera and said, “Okay, half of you need to look like you’ve fallen asleep with your eyes open and the other half need to look like you’re trying to push out a stubborn fart.”
My favorite one on the cover is Diane Keaton who looks like she wasn’t invited and masterfully photobombed them all. They’re all giving fashion FACE while Diane Keaton tries to kill their vibe by actually smiling. Diane Keaton, who looks like a cross between Charlie Chaplin’s mom and Mary Poppins at a wake, probably got the memo that she was supposed to look like a hungry goth but she didn’t care. Diane Keaton is you on 1st grade class picture day.
And the actresses in order are: Jane Fonda, Cate Blanchett, Kate Winslet Jennifer Lawrence, Viola Davis, Charlotte Rampling, Rachel Weisz, Brie Larson, Alicia Vikander, Lupita Nyong’o, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Helen Mirren, Saoirse Ronan and Diane Keaton not giving a fuck. Somewhere, Meryl Streep is looking at that cover like, “Awww, how cute,” because while those actresses pose for a little magazine cover, she’s out there accepting her 176th Oscar for just being Meryl Streep.
And here’s bigger shots of the cover as well as the individual pictures Annie took. I see that the theme of the individual pictures was “coming down after a 6-day bender” (see: Charlotte Rampling and Rachel Weisz).
Julie Delpy Says Women Have It The Worst In Hollywood (UPDATE)
Since Charlotte Rampling is doing the slow two-step away from her recent comments that this year’s Oscar boycott is racist against white people (comments she now says were “misinterpreted” and that what she really meant to say was that “Diversity in our industry is an important issue that needs to be addressed“), French actress Julie Delpy has decided to step into this mess and pick up where she left off. Except Julie didn’t need to borrow any notes from Charlotte, because her position is less about race and more about having a vagina.
Oscar Nominee Charlotte Rampling Thinks The Boycott Is Racist Against White People
Every actor who is nominated for an Oscar, has been nominated for an Oscar, has won an Oscar or has touched an Oscar at least once is probably going to be asked about the boycott. Everyone and their weed man is going to be asked about it. Mark Ruffalo, who is nominated this year for Spotlight, said at first that he hasn’t decided if he’s joining the boycott, but last night he tweeted that he’s going to the Oscars in support of the victims of Catholic priest abuse. Oscar winner Laura Jeanne Poon seemed to go the “err, I’m just going to let my publicist write a statement for me” route by saying in a post on Facebook that she’s disappointed that some of 2015’s best films were overlooked and she hopes to see more diversity in the Academy voting membership. But English actress Charlotte Rampling didn’t go that route… unless Paula Deen is her publicist.
