I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a candid of Alicia Vikander on Instagram. She’s 37 and an Oscar winner but her choices since then have been shaky – I checked her IMDb and the prestige is there in terms of cast and directors, but not the popularity. 

 

If we look at her contemporaries like Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone and Anne Hathaway, she is not even part of that conversation right? But she also doesn’t show up for podcasts and NYT Cooking reels, so perhaps that is a trade-off she is happy with.

 

The Squid and the Whale is such an uncomfortable film and it feels impossible that it even got made. The oral history dives into budget, casting, and how Phoebe Cates and Kevin Kline’s son was cast.

This tweet went way too hard on Nick Jonas but also, yes.

 

Lilly Allen wants her flowers (literally) and Tommy Dorfman delivered.

I know the Bond rumours are a little tired at this point but Callum Turner makes sense – he’s the right age and I would argue the right level of fame. The actor needs to be able to grow with the role and that fits with his career, recognizable but not famous. And if he is Bond, Dua Lipa should do the theme song – that would be a first, I think? I’m not a Bond historian don’t come for me. 

 

Jessica Alba, Adrien Brody and David Beckham celebrated the opening of the Eleven Members Club in Doha. That’s not “new kitchen” money, that’s “Christmas presents and New Year’s vacation” dough.

 

OK I know Gordon Ramsay doesn’t write his own Instagram captions but the last slide was a funny jump scare. 

 

Not American so didn’t celebrate US Thanksgiving but it’s December 1, there is no denying we are fully in the holidays now. I want to know more about ex texts – is this a thing?! And if so, which celeb do you think is a holiday ex texter. I have one guess.
