White Celebrities Take Responsibility For Racism In A New PSA
Coronavirus begat Gal Gadot asking the Tone Deaf Avengers to Imagine a world where irony does not exist. Not to be outshone, for the occasion of the Black Lives Matter movement, we will be subjected to a barrage of actors emoting about racism while serving black and white Stanislavsky turtleneck Inside The Actors Studio earnestness. In a video for a new initiative called I Take Responsibility, “a cadre of stars staring directly into cameras as they pledge to take responsibility for how they’ve perpetuated racism or allowed it to go on in their presence.” (via The Hollywood Reporter). But don’t get too excited, nobody gets too specific. But we do get to hear Justin Theroux take responsibility for “every not so funny joke,” something you’ll never hear from me! #ITakeNoResponsibilityWhatsoever
The Emmys Was Bursting With Excessive Amounts Of Fabric Last Night
It’s a bit redundant to say so, because aren’t all award shows just an excuse for fashion houses to clean out their local Fabric Barn and send a famous person down the carpet in more material than a 1980s canopy bed set? But the Emmys did see a lot of by-the-yardage last night, like on Jessica Biel, who said yes to a white Ralph & Russo dress. If you think Jessica and Justin Timberlake look like they stopped by the Emmys on their way to appearing on the top of a wedding cake, you’re not the only one.
“Broad City” Will Bleep Donald Trump’s Name All Season
Broad City spent a lot of time last season talking about Hillary Clinton’s presidential run (she eventually showed up in a guest appearance). So it’s not like they live in a universe in which the outcome of the election would be unknown. Ilana Glazer told USA Today that she and Abbi Jacobson couldn’t not talk about Trump being president. But Trump’s name will be bleeped the whole season.
“We wrote (Season 4) being like, ‘Here we go! Hillary for president!’ [But after] this game-show host became president of our country, we rewrote a lot.”
One episode of the fourth season (which premieres in August) focuses on Ilana working through an inability to orgasm due to Trump-related hang-ups. Of course, they will never name him by name.
“There’s no airtime for this orange (person). We bleep his name the whole season.”
If Trump hisses back, his usual insults won’t have much weight here. “These are such disrespectful ladies, I can’t even call them ladies. They’re city broads, am I right Ivanka? Wait, what do you mean that’s what they’re called? Shit, well…how about this: they’re such low lives, I bet they live with rats. What? They had a hilarious episode about that? Shit.”

Scarlett Johansson Was Seen On A Date With Colin Jost
Several weeks ago, Scarlett Johansson was reportedly seen at a Saturday Night Live after-party putting some mouth moves on Weekend Update’s Colin Jost. Last week E! News asked Colin if he had anything to say about the Scarlett rumors, to which he replied: “What?! No way. No, I’m good.” He also said he was “very happy” in his personal life. Colin didn’t want to talk about it, and that sort of made me think it could have just been a drunken party hookup. As it turns out, it might not be so casual.
