Night Crumbs
The Amy Winehouse biopic, Back to Black, has begun filming, and the first pap pictures from the set may make you yodel out, “Nooo, nooo, no!” The movie, which has the stamp of approval from Amy’s estate, is directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson and stars Marisa Abela from the show Industry as Amy and Eddie Marsan from Ray Donovan as her dad Mitch. Back to Black is a feature film, but judging by that dreadful wig, it looks more like it’s headed straight to Lifetime. Poor Marisa Abela, they’ve got her looking like Amy Winecoolershack – Just Jared
During an interview with the only stars of 80 For Brady who matter (aka the main cast sans Tom Brady), Jane Fonda laid down the differences between male friendships and female friendships while I learned that I’m the Sally Field of the group (aka a people-hating hermit) – Lainey Gossip
HBO Max’s “Velma” Is Getting Dragged By Critics And Viewers
Last year, it was announced that Mindy Kaling would produce and star in Velma, an adult cartoon re-imagining of Scooby-Doo (sans Scooby Doo) with Velma Dinkley in the main role. OK, sure! Welp, Velma finally premiered on HBO Max last Friday, and the reaction from audiences and critics alike was… not good. Forbes reports that it has a low-for-HBO-Max score of 55% on Rotten Tomatoes and an embarrassing audience score of just 7%. And before you say, “Oh, is this because they made Velma Indian-American like Mindy? RACISTS!!!!”, that’s actually not the main reason people are hating on Velma. Sure, there are the usual bigot trolls, but the show’s mainly getting backlash because a) it’s not funny (based on the five minutes I watched to write this article, I co-sign this opinion), and, b) some think its “edgy”/”woke” jokes are actually offensive. Too bad the holidays are over; both liberal and conservative family members could’ve bonded over their Velma hate.
SCANDAL Followed Miss USA To The Miss Universe Pageant
In October of last year, SCANDAL rocked the Miss USA pageant as Miss Texas, R’Bonney Gabriel, was crowned the winner amid accusations that the competition had been rigged in her favor. As a result, Crystle Stewart (a former Miss Texas herself) was suspended as the head of the Miss USA organization and an internal investigation was launched. Simultaneously, JKN Global, a Thai multinational corporation, acquired Miss Universe for $20 million. And for a time, it seemed, all had been forgotten, if not forgiven, as the newly crowned Miss USA boarded a rocket ship to the moon (by way of a convention center in New Orleans) to represent her country in last night’s Miss Universe pageant. However, it soon became clear that R’Bonney’s ship had a stowaway, as insidious as a virus and powerful enough to engulf the entire universe in its gaping maw.
Open Post: Hosted By Carrie And Aidan Reuniting For The Second Season Of “And Just Like That…”
Despite the fact that the Sex and the City spin-off And Just Like That… was the dumbest, most offensively terrible content I’ve ever seen on television (and I watched all of Glee… twice), HBO Max renewed that shit for a second season, which is currently shooting in NYC. In August, we learned that John Corbett would reprise his role as Aidan, Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie’s long-suffering carpenter ex. Over the weekend, Deadline reported that the show’s official Instagram posted pics of Carrie and Aidan (seen above in the original series) holding hands while walking down the middle of the street. Um, Carrie? Sweetie? You’ve already lost one dude to a Peloton heart attack; maybe hop on over to the sidewalk, so poor Aidan doesn’t get mowed down by an Uber.
Idahoans Want Nancy Grace To Stop Broadcasting From The Scene Of The College Murders In Moscow
The horrific slayings of four University of Idaho students–Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Kaylee Goncalves, and Maddie Mogen– has dominated the news since happening back in November. A suspect, Bryan Kohberger, was identified in a probable cause affidavit and remains locked up in Idaho as law enforcement gathers their case. So, as with any high-profile crime, in shrieked legal commentator Nancy Grace to insert herself into the situation and annoy the masses. She’s been reporting from outside the scene of the crime for the past few days, and some Idahoans think Nancy is a disGrace and want her to pack up her obnoxiously affable nips and head back to her home state of Hell.
Cate Blanchett Calls For The End Of Televised Awards Shows While Accepting A Critics Choice Award On The CW…
The Critics Choice Awards aired on The CW last night, and a not-so-surprising guest crashed that shit like, “Bitch, I’m STILL here.” I’m talking about COVID-19. Nominees Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, and Jamie Lee Curtis, as well as presenter Michelle Pfeiffer, had to sit the show out after testing positive for Coronavirus. COVID-19 didn’t fuck with Cate Blanchett, though. She showed up to last night’s ceremony, won Best Actress for her performance in Tár, and used some of her time on stage to praise all actresses in the business and also declared that we need to finally call the time of death on the “televised horse race” known as awards shows. And then Cate galloped away with her Critics Choice Award in hand to place it right next to her two Oscars, three BAFTAs, four Golden Globes, three SAG Awards, and many other horse race prizes.
