Nobody Wants This was the talk of the weekend on social media with tons of buzz, great reviews, and a number one spot on Netflix. A big win for all involved, including the show’s creator Erin Foster and her sister Sara, who was part of the producing team.
An immeasurable part of the show’s success is the off-the-charts chemistry between Kristen Bell and Adam Brody. This makes sense because these two can banter: Kristen Bell is very charming as a romantic lead and Adam Brody, well, come on. As for Erin Foster, this is years in the making as she and her sister have been on the edge of Hollywood with a nepo last name and tons of big-name friends, but no real breakout hit— until now. The question is: when is the season two announcement coming? And how do they lock up Adam Brody again?
The reason I specifically ask about Adam Brody is because Leighton Meester has joined the cast of Buccaneers for season two and I get the sense that they don’t like to work at the same time. They are choosey, and that’s a huge part of why people pine for them. Scarcity mindset is real. If they were one of those couples that likes to “roast” each other in the comments and used their relationship for engagement, it would kill the mysterious vibe. They don’t beg for attention, which is why people adore them.
One last thread to pull here: Erin Foster was on WWHL with Christian Siriano and he was great, especially his answer about Housewives. He doesn’t dress them because they don’t pay. That is not surprising, as Housewives are constantly getting into disputes over not paying for clothes, hair and makeup in exchange for “exposure.” It’s sneaky and cheap so, yes, this is aligned with the kind of behavior we often see on the show. But there is one Housewife he names as a top customer, a newbie on Real Housewives named Bronwyn who has been flaunting legit couture pieces on the show and has the fashion week invites to prove it. I am not sold with her as a Housewife but I do appreciate that she pays people for their work. Yes, the bar is in hell as the kids say.
Sorry to serve up this curdled cream on a Monday morning but I think the Johnny Depp campaign for a Pirates sequel is well underway. First the hospital appearance as Captain Jack, then the art exhibit in NYC with producer Jerry Bruckheimer attending and being photographed with Johnny. He’s kept his work mostly in Europe until now so this American push is very obvious. The next step will be a girlfriend.
Naomi Campbell’s charity Fashion Relief has fallen apart pretty spectacularly, with allegations of financial mismanagement. There are charity sanctions for Naomi and the possibility of lawsuits to come – overall, a pretty dire indictment of her leadership (you can read more in this piece in The Guardian). Here she is receiving a knight appointment in France. Let’s be honest, the Chanel dress is spectacular on her.
