Thandiwe Newton Is Reclaiming The Correct Spelling Of Her Name
Thandie Newton is Thandie no more. In a new interview with British Vogue, she declares herself Thandiwe Newton, which is the correct spelling of her name. Thandiwe says, “That’s my name. It’s always been my name. I’m taking back what’s mine.” Thandiwe means “beloved” in Shona, a Bantu language of the Shona people of Zimbabwe. Thandiwe’s mother is the granddaughter of a Shona chief, which makes her, Thandiwe, and her daughters all Zimbabwean princesses. Continue reading
Thandie Newton Thought That Her Comments About Tom Cruise Would Get Her Into Trouble
In an interview with Vulture last month, Thandie Newton talked about what it was like working with Tom Cruise on Mission: Impossible 2, saying that he was very type-A, came off as a “dominant individual,” and could manifest giant zits in the span of hours. Thandie said he “tries super hard to be a nice person,” though, so it wasn’t all bad. Thandie also mentioned a moment where Tom was so frustrated with her acting, which she blamed on shitty dialogue, that he showed her how she should do the scene. The whole experience only further intimidated Thandie and pushed her into a place of “terror and insecurity.”
Thandie talked about her Tom comments, saying that she thought she would get a lot of backlash for it. But she really didn’t care because as a Black, 47-year-old actress, she expected to be put out to pasture by now anyway. Hollywood has evolved! Now they only do that when a woman turns 50.
Thandie Newton Described Tom Cruise’s Stress Zit In Disturbing Detail
There are a lot of motherfuckers in Hollywood who should be investing in the continued health and well being of Thandie Newton. They (and they know who they are) might consider signing her up for a vitamin of the month club or something because in a recent Vulture interview, Thandie let it be known that she’s got a “little black book, which will be published on my deathbed.” Thandie has been through the wringer and has thankfully come out the other side a self-possessed queen who will shank you, with extreme Britishness, with the word “love.” But nothing she endured could prepare her for the harrowing experience of starring opposite a pulsating zit on the tip of Tom Cruise’s nose.
Angelina Jolie Brought The Kids To The “Dumbo” Premiere
For the Jolie-Pitts, nothing puts the “f”s in “family fun” quite like “forced foto-ops” on the red carpet for a kids movie with mom. Angelina Jolie unplugged the X-Box mid-Fortnite Battle Royale and told all them kids to go put on their outside clothes for the Hollywood premiere of Tim Burton’s Dumbo. Here’s the twist: They had fun.
Brigitte Nielsen’s White Hot Glamour Singed The Red Carpet, And Other Looks From The Golden Globes
Cleaning crews at The Beverly Hilton are probably still vacuuming up the shards of glitter that flew off of Billy Porter when he twirled in that amazing technicolor dreamcape, and are mopping up the Fiji water that people spewed out after realizing they were in the presence of the one and only Fiji Water Girl, and are disinfecting the floor after hundreds of people shit themselves as Baroness Jamie Lee Haden-Guest (seriously, she’s a baroness) sashayed onto the red carpet and they thought, “Damn, Brigitte Nielsen is looking hot after birthing out a baby!” People probably shit out everything in their system and are going to need some probiotics to get their guts good again. I see what you did there Queen of Activia!
“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” Swept The Emmys
If you’re the type of person who doesn’t watch TV shows on Amazon, then The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel might sound like a film about a magical British nanny starring Dame Judi Dench. But as of today, it’s the reason why the show’s creator Amy Sherman-Palladino hauled a giant sack of trophies out of the Emmys last night.
