Celebrity Social Media, December 4, 2024

Nicole Kidman was asked about how she avoids burnout because she works a lot and her answer is about gratitude. That’s the red carpet answer but I would like to know the details of her actual schedule. She is on set multiple times a year, all over the world, oftentimes while she has to promote work and attend industry events. And that doesn’t include the prep work it takes to memorize lines, rehearsals, accent coaching etc. But one thing that’s unique about Nicole is that she is an actress without a hyphen. She doesn’t own a brand, just a few endorsements here and there. Even Angelina Jolie owns a brand. 

In 2020, Nicole partnered with a brand called Seratopical Revolution and was named a “strategic business partner.” Have you ever heard of it? Me neither. She does very little promotion now but has in the past, like this nighttime routine video. Clearly she’s not into hard selling. 

This morning, Lainey wrote about the TikTok of it all between Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan and it got me thinking on how “the other woman” stories have evolved. Sometimes, the woman in question would come forward and give interviews and one specific example is Scheana from Vanderpump Rules. She had an affair with Eddie Cibrian and when it broke about him and LeAnn Rhimes, Scheana said, “what about me!” She appeared on tabloid shows and sold her story, which is how Vanderpump Rules was launched (she had a sit-down with Eddie’s ex, Brandi Glanville, who was on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills at the time). 

Rebecca Loos also comes to mind, she sold her story to the UK tabloids (including texts) and appeared on various UK shows. Same with Rachel Uchitel in the US. But today, the “mistress” doesn’t sell her story for money, she releases it on social media for free. This is sometimes followed by an NDA with a payout. Who can forget Chrissy O. and her girl-on-fire social media post. Are you telling me someone that thirsty disappeared without any incentive to do so?

McDonald’s is still pretty savvy with their marketing and that’s why instead of Santa or an elf, they went with the Grinch for the special meal. The Grinch is that bitch and he knows it. I feel like each year he gains strength. The animated Grinch, with Pharrell as narrator and music with Tyler the Creator, is a new-ish classic. 

I’m sorry but the Wicked porn site doll package is the funniest thing that could happen to this movie.
