Mary J. Blige, Keanu Reeves, Zendaya, Joe Rogan And Kris Jenner All Made The Time 100 List Of The World’s Most Influential People
Last year Prince Harry and Meghan Markle graced the cover of Time Magazine’s annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world and since then, have done jack shit in the way of influence. They were featured in the Icons section, but those tricks can’t even launch an Instagram page let alone a revolution. So Time gave them the year off to get their shit together and Mary J. Blige has taken their place as the face of the Time 100’s Icons section. Mary shares the honor with Issa Rae, Keanu Reeves, Jon Batiste, and Adele plus a couple of people who actually worked for the accolade. And because you can’t even get the “Uh” out of Adele without James Corden popping up out of nowhere like a singing telegram sent by the devil himself, James wrote Adele’s intro and used it as an excuse to brag about her “singing in the kitchen, or belting at the top of her voice solely to make [his] children laugh.” It’s like, we get it, James, she’s your bestie. But if she’s so influential, then explain what happened to your career?
Michelle Williams Is Defending Jeremy Strong’s Intense Acting Methods
Last year, Jeremy Strong had a whole lot of people thinking, “Shoot, it’s only an HBO show!” when he spoke of his long-rumored and very intense ways of getting into character and delivering a capital-P performance in a profile with The New Yorker. Some of Jeremy’s Succession castmates kind of agreed that it was a bit overkill to dive so deep into a role, whereas other serious thespian types, like Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway, and Aaron Sorkin, all jumped to Jeremy’s defense. Jeremy was probably glad when all this chatter about his actor commitment quieted down (the silence probably helps him think of new ways to be intense). But we’re back talking about Jeremy once again, this time because of Michelle Williams. However, it’s less of a headache than the first time around, because Michelle is also pulling some Toy Story soundtrack vibes by letting Jeremy know he’s got a friend in her.
Here Are The Nominees For The (Untelevised) 2022 Golden Globes
Just because you’re broke and ugly, that doesn’t mean you have cornered the market on suffering. If you prick a celebrity, do they not bleed? Well they do — profusely, dramatically and off-key. Sure, the last couple of years may have been hard on everyone, but it’s been particularly hard on actors who’ve had their very livelihoods upturned by the ravages the coronavirus has taken on the global box office as well having to have witnessed the downfall of one of their most beloved institutions of affirmation, The Golden Globes. But even though NBC decided not to air the 2022 ceremony due to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s “lack of diversity and shoddy ethical practices,” Variety reports that the “beleaguered and scandal-plagued” HFPA has gone ahead and enlisted Snoop Dogg to read aloud their nominees, I guess because he was the only Black celebrity they could get on such short notice. Because as we know, Scarlett Johansson’s sick of being their token and wants nothing more to do with them.
Aaron Sorkin And Anne Hathaway Join Jessica Chastain In Defending Jeremy Strong From His New Yorker Profile
Well, Aaron Sorkin and Anne Hathaway have now joined Jessica Chastain in Hollywood’s newest IT charitable cause. You hear that, Leonardo DiCaprio?! Scream at your pilot to divert your private jet from whatever environmental conference you’re headed to and fly to NYC for the inevitable JUSTICE4STRONG charity gala. Earlier this week, The New Yorker released a profile on Jeremy Strong, who plays Kendall Roy on Succession, and a lot of it covers his serious acting process. Jeremy’s process isn’t Jared Leto levels of method creepiness, but he refuses to rehearse and he doesn’t completely turn his character off when a scene ends. People who have worked with Jeremy were interviewed including Jeremy’s current TV daddy, Brian Cox, who said that he worries about what Jeremy does to himself to prepare for a scene. Brian repeated that on Wednesday’s episode of The Late Show with Seth Meyers by saying that he’s afraid Jeremy’s intense process will lead to early burnout.
The New Yorker piece wasn’t mean, but still, Jeremy’s friend Jessica Chastain put her on Captain Save-A-Method-Ho cap and called out the profile as “one-sided.” And now Aaron Sorkin and Anne Hathaway have both come to the defense of poor, persecuted Jeremy Strong. You know, because they hate that profile so much that they’re going to bring more attention to it so more people can read it!
Jessica Chastain Has Jumped To Jeremy Strong’s Defense Over The New Yorker Profile About Him
Earlier this week, The New Yorker published a profile on Jeremy Strong, an actor who currently plays Kendall Roy on HBO’s Succession. Jeremy did a very good job of making himself seem like the type of person who’s always cranked up to 11 on the Intense Actor Scale, and his near-constant method antics have made it so he remains an enigma on set to the rest of his fellow cast members. And also, maybe at home to his family, with whom he might also be method acting (he’s not sure). At best, that profile made it seem like Jeremy Strong was not the kind of person you’d ever want to be trapped in an elevator with. But Jessica Chastain decided to do a little damage control for Jeremy, and let everyone know that he isn’t the pretentious twat that he comes across as in that profile.
Jeremy Strong’s Method Acting Worries And Vexes Some Of His “Succession” Castmates
Serious method ACTOR Jeremy Strong has emulated and idolized Daniel Day-Lewis ever since he was a teenager and had a poster of him in My Left Foot on his bedroom wall. And whereas DDL won an Oscar for his performance in that film, it’s unlikely he can brag about being to, to this day, masturbate without using his hands. But I bet Jeremy can, given the seriousness with which he takes his craft! And based on the comments from some of his Succession castmates that accompany a new profile of him in The New Yorker, he’s really fucking annoying with that shit. Like DDL, who Jeremy went on to work for as an assistant, is probably so embarrassed for him right now he’s asking his agent to get him a role as a blind hermit or something so he can pretend not to see him next time they run into each other.
