Quinta Brunson covers InStyle and her career is, of course, interesting and her fashion choices (she has so many red carpets to attend) are part of that.
She often wears gowns that are busy – sculptured, ornate, layered, grand. Most style advice tells shorter women to stay away from volume (in sleeves or around the hips), but not Quinta. She and her stylist Bryon Javar create looks that do not overpower her or limit her style. It’s also a reflection of her position as one of the hottest showrunners in Hollywood right now – she’s not stuck with the same-old body con nude dress because that’s not her.
Big news out of Brooklyn as the internet’s puppy-dog-eyes crush Jeremy Allen White and his wife, Addison Timlin, are divorcing. This is probably a surprise to most as the two have often posted loving tributes to each other on Instagram. But…after his Golden Globe win there was a blind item on DeuxMoi that alleged cheating (on her part) with a very specific person in the industry introduced to her by her best friend Dakota Johnson. That was way back in January. After the split was announced, there was a very explicit blind item posted about Jeremy cheating. I don’t think both of these things are true but given the timing and the specificity of the first blind, it does seem predictive.
Rolling Stone has published a new report about behind-the-scenes issues at The Kelly Clarkson Show (which is moving production to New York). Kelly herself is not the problem, but rather the producers and the low pay. Plus, television has brutal hours. This is, of course, reminiscent of Ellen’s end because many of the stories were also focused on the producers as the hosts are not the ones do the majority of work with staff. They are talent and are typically shielded from it or ignore it. The stories about Ellen didn’t get published till the end of her run but Kelly is on the rise so I’m curious to see how the production company addresses it, if at all.
Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, Tetris, Beanie Babies, BlackBerry, Air Jordans – are brand movies the new biopics? There was an article last month in The Washington Post about this new trend and I wonder if these films will be a pathway to the Oscar in the same way playing a real-life person seems to be. Tammy Faye, Judy Garland, Margaret Thatcher, Queen Elizabeth, Elvis, Richard Williams, Freddie Mercury, Desi Arnaz, Steve Jobs – these are just a few of the roles that have earned nominations (and a significant amount of wins) in the last decade.
