It was fully expected that Heated Rivalry would be popular at Halloween since the show premiered last November making this its first Halloween. I stayed inside my house all weekend so I have no idea how much HR there was at the parties and on the streets but I was curious to see what Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie would be while everyone else was trying to be Hollanov.

They were both in Toronto, in production on season two, and they did indeed coordinate their outfits. Theme: Bugonia. Connor was Emma Stone’s character, Michelle Fuller, while Hudson played Jesse Plemons’s Teddy Gatz. Rachel Reid was also there, as Kathy Bates in Misery. The facial expressions are sending me…

On Sunday Connor was back to the routine, papped on his way to the gym and then picking up groceries. Halloween comes and goes, relatively quickly, so the more lingering news about Connor is that he may be joining the MCU after it was reported last week that he’s in talks to join the cast of Ghost Rider alongside Ryan Gosling.

Initially it was assumed that Connor was being considered to play the villain, perhaps Mephisto’s son, Blackheart, which is what most people are assuming. British GQ however has another theory. According to Kyle MacNeill, Connor could also play Johnny Blaze’s brother, Danny Ketch – and if that’s the case, he could be looking at a longer relationship with the MCU than just a one-and-done baddie situation. The way Hollywood used to work, that’s what his agents and managers would want: franchise money. Younger actors, however, claim to be less and less interested in that kind of commitment although, you know, it’s a tantalising prospect, having the job security that comes with the territory.


What else happened today…

Elle Fanning in custom Valentino as the Sunrise on the Reaping press tour continues. I really love this look, as a straight up look but also for her character. (Go Fug Yourself)

I never like what Heidi Klum wears… as Heidi Klum… but she really does always win Halloween, even though it’s f-cking demented and disgusting every single year, including this year which Kayleigh Donaldson says is her grossest yet. (Pajiba)

King Charles and Camilla are in Antigua and Barbuda and there’s a video of them getting caught in a downpour going viral today because it’s hilarious. She looks after herself and he gets pissed when no one’s looking after him and nobody cares about this tour they’re on because the tabloids they insist on being friendly with have been enabling a pedophile for years. (Celebitchy)

David Letterman and Matt Damon made a joint cameo appearance on The Gilded Age and Vulture has the whole story on how it came together. (Vulture)

Speaking of The Gilded Age, Morgan Spector in Man About Town – have you seen the photos yet? The shot of him shirtless… in those pants… with the belt… Kathleen is feeling very smug about herself right now because she was an early thirster. (Man About Town)
