Maya Rudolph Gossip

Behold my Tiffany Haddish problem: If we write about everything Tiffany Haddish did that was amazing and exciting last night, we will be here for 2500 years. It was only a four hour show! Counting the carpet, five. Full Story

Over the weekend I emailed Lainey all excited about Maya Rudolph and Martin Short’s new variety show. Does this make me deeply uncool? Yes, but in a week being dominated by Taylor and Kanye’s mutual f-ckery, I’d like to take a break from all-cap tweets and haughty publicists to talk about two really talented people. Full Story

Last night was the premiere of Tina Fey’s and Amy Poehler’s new movie, Sisters, which opens next week against New New Star Wars. The opening weekend projection for Star Wars is $190-$225 million, which means no one has a clue what it’s really going to do. There are only three comparables for this movie, both Avengers and Jurassic World, and in each scenario the box office was unpredictable. Full Story

Since I just pissed you off with those Gerard Butler pictures in the previous post, let me make it up to you. These are photos that, guaranteed, no one will object to. Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, and Tina Fey all together last night at the Steve Martin AFI Lifetime Award tribute gala. Well, obviously, that was the best table, non? Still 6 months to go before we see all of them in their movie, Sisters, opening in December. Full Story

This morning I came across a link to the cast of Grown Ups 2 on Ellen. Salma Hayek and Maya Rudolph were sitting beside each other. Guess what came to mind, right away? It’s been a long, LONG time since I watched that video. It’s been almost 3 years. It was one of the best moments that year, 2010, the last time they were together promoting Grown Ups. Full Story

Is it going to be obvious that I haven't slept if I say "Wiig & Rudolph" sounds like an animated show I'd like to see?  These guys just make me feel so comfortable. Everyone else at the Oscars is arguably a crazy Hollywood person. I look at these guys and I go “OK. You're my people. We're going to talk about this all later, right?: (Note: in order for this to work you have to forget that Rudolph is a friend of Gwyneth since, like, birth. Full Story

Lainey messaged me on Saturday about why it seemed like SNL is always better when the host is a returning cast member as opposed to a celebrity. Knee-jerk reaction: because they’re proper comedians and they get it. But it does go a little deeper than that, because there many examples of actors who make excellent hosts—Tom Hanks, Alec Baldwin, Christopher Walken and John Goodman come to mind. Full Story

I like Kristen Wiig so much but that f-cking choker was so objectionable to me it almost affected how I felt about the wearer, this is what you risk with a terrible accessory. Like, I’m all for understated Balenciaga. And in many ways, Kristen Wiig is very understated Balenciaga. It’s the anti-Marchesa. Full Story

Easy. Retract your claws. Read a few lines and then see if maybe you want to punch me. So there they were, Wiig and Rudolph (and McCarthy, yes, but put a pin in that for one second).  Bridesmaids is, if not the biggest movie of the year, certainly the biggest movie story.  Right?  There’s no question. Full Story

There was some serious strutting happening the other day on the set of Charlie’s Angels in Miami as Minka Kelly, Annie Ilonzeh, and Rachael Taylor, all dressed in white, stomped around in heels for a scene that obviously involves a lot of smiling, hair blowing, and gorgessity. A classic Angels moment. Full Story

John Krasinski was spotted heading to a presser there in advance of his Away We Go opening the Edinburgh Film Festival tonight. Sorry I’ve been late with my thoughts. We saw it a couple of weeks ago and then travel and the Wine Flu got in the way. So as you know I’d been dying to see it. Full Story
