Jane Campion Is Getting Called Out For Her Comment About Serena And Venus Williams At The Critics Choice Awards (UPDATE)
Jane Campion is really oscillating between “Yaaaassss queen!” and “Girl, stop,” pretty quickly. The director of Oscar-favorite, Power of the Dog, made headlines for checking Sam Elliott over his shitty criticisms of the movie. But those claps for her turned into cringes during the speech she gave at last night’s Critics Choice Awards after winning Best Director. Jane chose to point out Serena and Venus Williams, who were in the audience, and say to them that they are “marvels” but that they don’t “play against the guys, like I have to.” Surprisingly, it didn’t go over well.
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Take Manhattan
Well, not literally. We’re not being colonized by The Crown again (fingers crossed!) People reports that Prince Harry and Megan Markle have taken their first trip together since their daughter Lilibet Diana was born. The pair traveled to New York to attend a Global Citizen Live from Central Park event on Saturday and got in a little sightseeing in the meantime. I have not yet visited One World Observatory at The World Trade Center, and now after seeing Harry and Meghan’s visit, I’m not sure if I ever will. Did you know you have to meet the mayor, his wife, AND the governor, and stand around and have a million pictures taken of you when you go there? No thanks!
The Couples Of The Met Gala, Including Shawn Mendes And Camila Cabello As A Wish.Com “Sonny And Cher”
The first Monday in May was moved to the second Monday in September, as the Met Gala, which benefits the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute, happened last night. The 2020 Met Gala was canceled because of our good friend Coronavirus, but this year’s Gathering Of Who’s Who And WHO?! was held last night and Anna Wintour is still planning another one for May 2022. But even though influencers and nobodies flooded the guestlist, some A-listers still showed up for the gala whose theme was “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.” And like always, most didn’t really dress in the theme or pulled the reach of reaches while trying to dress in the theme. Like Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes who brought Halloween to us a month early and showed up dressed like a low-budget Cher and a leather twink version of Sonny Bono.
Serena Williams And Others Show Support To Naomi Osaka After She Withdraws From The French Open
23-year-old tennis player Naomi Osaka is a tennis legend-in-the-making (I believe that beating the GOAT Serena Williams is pretty much your FastPass to the front of the line). She was previously scheduled to compete in the 2021 French Open, which began this week and will run until June 13th. There were no doubt plenty of French Open competitors that were nervously sweating into their tennis shoes last week at the thought of serving across from Naomi, who is a two-time Australian Open and two-time US Open champion. But they’re not anymore, because Naomi has pulled out after one match, in protest of the French Open’s rules regarding press conferences. Naturally, a whole lot of athletes have come to Naomi’s defense.
Of Course Duchess Meghan’s Ass Jinxed Serena Williams!
As expected, Duchess Meghan showed up to Serena Williams’ US Open final against Canadian teenager Bianca Andreescu yesterday and watched her friend lose. Even though Duchess Jinxy McBadLuck is obviously the sole reason for why Serena lost, the good news is that no peasant was beheaded for daring to take a picture of Meghan. Sure, one of Meghan’s bodyguards chopped off the arm of a peasant who held up a phone to take a picture of her, but they’ll be fine. They can get a hook.
Duchess Meghan Has Flown Commercial To Watch Serena Williams Play In The US Open
People magazine reports that Duchess Meghan decided to make a last-minute weekend trip to New York City to watch her good pal Serena Williams play in the US Open. And in what will surely be a shock to all her haters, she flew there on a commercial flight.
