More Men (ft. Some Women)
– 4 min read
Truly the lists and galas never stop, as GQ assembled their Men of the Year at the Chateau Marmont in LA last night, but because men are boring, they invited some women, too. Matt Damon was there, of course, along with his wife, Luciana Barroso Damon, but I’m more immediately interested in Gen Z star Skyler Gisondo. He’s one of the actors left in limbo by the DC Studios leadership shakeup.
He plays Jimmy Olsen in the Superman movies, he’s headlining a spin-off TV series called The People v. Gorilla Grodd, but what’s his future with DC? He doesn’t know. Amongst all the people screwed by this merger, there are also actors who thought they had a cushy franchise gig for the next decade who now, probably, don’t. He’s still got stuff going on, though, as he appears in Focker In Law coming out Thanksgiving week.
Andrew Garfield was there, too, along with his magnificent mane of, er, revitalized hair.
Also present was Off Campus star Belmont Cameli—rarely have I heard a faker sounding name—as well as Austin Abrams, who had a big year with Resident Evil and Whalefall. This is what I mean about rising stars, if I was making a rising star list for 2026, it would have people like Belmont “Definitely Not On the Lam” Cameli and Austin Abrams on it. Throw in Anthony Ippolito since he’s got a big movie coming out, and a guy from The Pitt—Patrick Ball and Gerran Howell were there last night, too—and keep Sophie Nelisse and Lola Tung, and now we’re getting somewhere with the concept of a “rising star”.
Tell me this is not the look of a man on the lam!
But let us speak no more of men. Let us now behold The Women, starting with Tracee Ellis Ross in a truly hilarious pair of shoes.
She knows! She’s having fun!
Also having fun, Inde Navarrette. She has a truly infectious smile. Every time I see Inde Navarrette smiling, I want to smile back. I’m smiling just writing this.
And then we have a battle of boobs out between Monica Barbaro:
and Tinashe:
I support a woman’s right to get her boobs out! They won’t always look like that. Enjoy it, young women! Also, Monica Barbaro and Andrew Garfield were seen holding hands (scroll down for the photos) after the event.
Finally, we come to Ayo Edebiri, who wore menswear better than literally every man at this event. Spec-f-cking-tacular. Who’s your daddy now?
What else happened today…
When should you start getting mammograms? My OBGYN started me at 40. It’s not pleasant, but I lost a friend to breast cancer at TWENTY-THREE, so I try not to complain. I’m still here to do it. Check your girls, girls. (Popsugar)
Fashion from the Latin Grammys, Rosalía went big and angelic. (Go Fug Yourself)
Celebrity real estate update! Now that Angelina Jolie has been freed from living in Los Angeles on the pretense that Brad Pitt might ever see one of his kids, she has bought a home in Connecticut. Proximity to New York City, four proper seasons, relatively quiet, it makes a certain amount of sense. Also reminds me of Katherine Hepburn having her longtime estate in Connecticut. I wonder if Angie is Beach Connecticut or Woods Connecticut? (Celebitchy)
Microsoft crashed yesterday, taking out business operations around the world. (Oh no, the horror, eye roll.gif) Is it a “warning to the world” about over-relying on one software to run everything, or is it a way for adults to get a day off every now and again when something goes tits up in the computer machine? Let me have my snow days, dammit! (Wired)
