The Costume Institute announced the theme of next year’s Met Gala yesterday: “Camp: Notes on Fashion”, based on Susan Sontag’s essay “Notes on ‘Camp’”, published in 1964. Well. This should be fun.

Do not let the misleading trailers fool you—A Simple Favor is not a cheesy thriller about lady murder. It is, however, a PARODY of those things. Why on earth A Simple Favor wasn’t marketed as the black comedy it is I will never understand (and they are paying for it at the box office Full Story

We have discussed extensively on this site how clothes, style, and fashion are part of the work of Hollywood. Extensively. The Hollywood Reporter now publishes an annual Power Stylists list, featuring celebrities and their stylists, and how they put together looks to promote their projects, highlighting the hard work of the stylists, the thought that goes into a press tour wardrobe, or a television character’s clothes, and how a celebrity’s style strategy can lead to more work, particularly for women – and in securing the kind of work that results directly from their clothing, it allows them more freedom to wait for and choose the kind of acting or producing or directing work that they feel most strongly about. Full Story

Even when she posed with Hailee Steinfeld, who had the whole ‘Heavenly Angel’ interpretation going kind of literally, it was kind of a neat dark/light coincidence. Full Story

Ryan Reynolds is in Seoul this week promoting Deadpool 2. Deadpool 2 is the Next. Avengers: Infinity War should dominate for another two weeks and then Deadpool 2 comes out May 18 which is royal wedding weekend, not that they’ll affect each other, although I’m sure he’ll make a joke about it especially now that promotion is building for the movie. Full Story

I totally forgot, or maybe didn’t even know in the first place, that Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick are in a movie together called A Simple Favour. They announced it last year when Paul Feig was confirmed to direct. It’s about two friends, Emily and Stephanie; Stephanie (Anna) is a mommy blogger and Emily goes missing and it sounds like, while trying to find her, Stephanie gets dark and twisty. Full Story
