Zendaya and Robert Pattinson have been filming The Drama in Boston for the last few weeks. I don’t have to tell you how much attention Zendaya attracts. And Rob, of course, understands what it means to be a heatscore when you’re working on a movie. It’s been a few years for him, though, since he’s been on a set that’s a fan attraction. And, frankly, this time he’s not the number one. 

 

They look great together though, I can’t wait to see this movie. 

Let’s talk about Gwyneth Paltrow but we’re talking about what she doesn’t want us talking about. You’ll recall, a couple of weeks ago, I posted about how Goop laid off 40 or so employees back in September, as reported by Puck. In a new piece published yesterday, Puck reports that there have actually been THREE rounds of layoffs at Goop since the summer; they just laid off more staff last week and Rachel Strugatz and Lauren Sherman discuss how Gwyneth and Goop got to this point and whether or not she and her team will be able to fix it. 

 

It's Goop beauty stream that isn’t popping. The food part, however, seems to be their strength. Which might be why she’s making “boyfriend breakfast”. God that is irritating. 

 

Speaking of beauty…. has Pamela Anderson ever done a beauty tutorial or is this a first? Pam and her sons, Brandon and Dylan, acquired Sonsie Skin earlier this year, timed perfectly with her pop culture comeback. 

This is SO cute. Quinta Brunson was on Ted Danson’s podcast and couldn’t wait to call her parents because they’re obviously big fans. Ted knows what he’s doing here because he’s like, why wait until after the show? Let’s do it now. This is what we say in TV all the time – save it for the cameras! Her dad confirmed right away that Ted and his television shows were a huge influence in how Quinta’s work has developed. She is, now, the torchbearer of the network sitcom. 

 

I might be an outlier in these parts with respect to the seemingly interminable Wicked press tour because not only am I not sick of it, I’m really into Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande’s friendship. Their joint interview with Kyle Buchanan for the New York Times was weepy and sweet. This is what happens when artists go through fire together. Because filming these two movies was its own gladiatorial quest. 

In other Ariana news, she told Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers that being involved in Wicked had such a profound impact on her, she’s rethinking the direction of her career. 

J-hope dropped a photo dump on Instagram yesterday from his time in LA and I could tell right away, even without zooming, that in one of the shots he was at Le Labo. This year I found my fragrance after a multi-year search, and I’d written off Le Labo for so long but it ended up being Le Labo, and one of the most basic bitch Le Labo in-house regular scents, LOL. But since I started wearing it, everyone in my life has told me… yep, that’s your scent. Scents smell differently from person to person. And after my scent lingered on me for an hour or so, it took on my personality. It is 100% totally me. So I’m curious what J-hope’s scent is. And I won’t even bother guessing because as I just learned, the thing with scents is that you never really know until it’s on you and it has time to breathe. 

 

Also he updated his bio: “WIP", work in progress. That new album is coming.
