The Time 100 Gala brought out more than the Beckhams, it also brought out Keke Palmer.

Keke is about to be on the press circuit for Boots Riley’s new film, I Love Boosters. I love Boots Riley and cannot wait to see this:

But the Time 100 Gala is always busy. Hailey Bieber showed up, and I say this with simple observation and no judgment, she looks happier with Dakota Johnson than anywhere else I’ve seen her recently.

Can you even imagine the gossip? Hollywood nepo babies gossiping on a night that brings out a weird mishmash of Hollywood people? To be a fly on that wall, to know what they think of the Beckham family drama!

The weird mishmash of Hollywood people includes Rhea Seehorn, Noah Wyle, and Wagner Moura, explicable as people coming off awards season and celebrated projects, and Hilary Duff, who I had to google to see what she’s up to. A new album and tour, apparently, and I can feel MC’s disappointment from here. The album I have been listening to most lately is Peaches & Nora Kroll-Rosenbaum’s original soundtrack for Dan Levy’s new series, Big Mistakes. Excellent music to write to. Also, Zoe Saldaña in a dress I’m sure someone will defend, but it will not be me:

Rocking the Very Handsome Man contingent were Ethan Hawke, Sterling K. Brown, and Benicio Del Toro. I know some of you will fight me on Benicio, but he has A Presence that cannot be denied.

Finally, in case you were wondering, Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy are still going strong.

Maria set up my divorce antenna yesterday when she mentioned that Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz sold their Brooklyn townhouse. They own several other properties on both sides of the pond, though, so let’s hope it’s more relocation than dislocation. At least we can count on Claire and Hugh. They never have any drama. They are Beckham-opposite.
