Lainey wrote about Blake Lively’s interesting timing with this PEOPLE story and Blake Brown has started posting again. But not about Blake specifically and I wonder, for her partners, if there’s a bit of annoyance because the whole thing hinges on HER hair and right now, that hair isn’t working for them. 

An early Blake post got over one million likes (which is VERY impressive for a new account) and its latest is under 5k because it’s a generic product post. 

Jessica Simpson is the subject of a new documentary that will be “raw” which is a way of signalling it is not reality TV. This isn’t a highly produced half-hour on Hulu. She has done that style of show before and could do it again if she wanted to. She references Open Book and if that is the tone, we have something to look forward to. Side note: she hasn’t posted about her husband in a minute. Like, a long minute. He’s never been front and centre but it’s been a while. Just an observation!

Happy Girl Autumn is very Alan Cummings-coded.

Edie Falco performing a Real Housewives of New Jersey monologue is a full circle moment because half of the time, the Real Housewives of New Jersey are trying to perform Carmela Soprano. 

Oh this is interesting: Francis Ford Coppola is suing Variety for an article about alleged bad behaviour (trying to kiss extras) on the set of Megalopolis. I say interesting because Variety is a trade magazine, so the reporting would go through multiple channels, including legal. 

His statement vehemently denies the allegations and while many celebrities threaten to sue, he has actually done it. Variety isn’t backing down. Meanwhile, Deadline published a piece from an extra defending Coppola. Now the two publications are going tit-for-tat.

Donald Glover’s Childish Gambino farewell tour has been postponed in North America so that he can focus on his health. That’s the statement, but ticket sales have been sluggish. Tied to that is ticket prices, which are very expensive not just for this concert, but for a lot of shows. And in Canada, there’s no end in sight to the exorbitant prices.
