Movie Reviews and Previews Julia’s scroll down surprise Julia Roberts has a film in theaters right now, and I bet you haven’t heard of it.

What Else What Else? The Color Purple press tour is on, and no one is wearing purple. (Go Fug Yourself) Omid Scobie’s Endgame is out, and everyone is being super normal about it.

TV Updates Timothy Olyphant is going to space again Noah Hawley, who got his start on Bones before going on to create and show-run the much-admired series Legion and Fargo is next tackling Alien by way of a prequel series.

Style Our very little Wonka treat Monday’s photocall for Wonka in London was a relatively lowkey affair, given that Timothee Chalamet, one of the few men who is a true red carpet star, is involved.

TV Updates Team Beef Big night for Team Beef at the Gothams, as Ali Wong won Outstanding Performance in a New Series and Beef won Breakthrough Television Under 40 Minutes. Can I just say?

Movie Reviews and Previews Coop and Carey at the Gothams Another “icon and creator” honoree at the Gotham Awards was Maestro, which received the Cultural Icon and Creator Tribute. This delivered Bradley Cooper and Carey Mulligan to the red carpet, so it worked.

Gorgessity Anne Hathaway three ways As previously noted, Anne Hathaway has never been sexier than she is right now.
