I always complain about the wait time between TV shows but you know who runs a tight ship? Mindy Kaling. She has multiple shows on the go and doesn’t linger. Same with Shonda Rhimes.

Is this because they both came from a traditional network schedule before they moved to streaming? Because they both keep it moving and don’t get enough credit for that.

No thank you.

Dame Helen Mirren and Vin Diesel being friends is exactly what we need, they should present together at the Oscars.

Remember the slutty little sunglasses trend? Javier Bardem’s glasses aren’t little but they are slutty.

Did Ice T go to the Barbra Streisand School for Posting on Social Media?

Lena Dunham is joining Substack, which makes sense. It’s where writers are, right now. And she loves a side gig.

Remember Lenny Letter? It wrapped up in 2018 (reportedly because of low subscriber rates, but there was a lot of other stuff happening too) and she’s also dipped into podcast hosting, plus occasional pieces for Vogue and The Cut. She did say she was a voice of a generation.

A bakery in Ireland posted an AI photo of Brad Pitt visiting their shop, which went viral. It was a Valentine’s Day promotion and while I think it’s tacky AF, I guess some people are into this. It’s meant to be innocuous but the flip side is, Brad Pitt now has his name and image attached to a business he (presumably) doesn’t know anything about. And if his team sends them a legal letter for using his likeness, he could come off looking like a sourpuss. But should he? That’s his face and his name, it’s weird. I am surprised it’s still up.
