What Else?
Justin Baldoni’s bombastic legal team made headlines again yesterday because he came for Disney – something something about communications related to the Nicepool character in Deadpool and Wolverine and whether or not this is proof that Ryan Reynolds bullied him. Another distraction tactic which is part of the DARVO playbook. You will note, he continues to sidestep the allegations of sexual harassment that Blake Lively includes in her complaint. Also, as Dustin Rowles notes in his post today, the Streisand Effect is not a legal strategy. (Pajiba)
Robbie Williams stepped out in an animal print coat and if you didn’t know it was him wearing it and you just looked at the whole outfit, would you think it was Justin Bieber? (Go Fug Yourself)
Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster hard-launched their not-so-secret relationship a couple of weeks ago. It was a chaste probably pre-arranged pap walk where they held hands and smiled. Now we’re getting new pap shots of them all over each other getting fast food. So now that he’s in love I guess he’s off his Wolverine meal plan. (Celebitchy)
Thank you, Miles Surrey because I am SO excited that Severance is back but I don’t have the bandwidth to rewatch the first season and revisit what I need to know going in to season two. So this primer is essential! If this applies to you – read the piece and be prepared for innies and outies and everything in between! (The Ringer)
I am one of those people who’s watched Aaron Pierre’s tunnel walk at The Jennifer Hudson Show an embarrassing number of times. If you haven’t had the pleasure (ummm….please fix your algorithm, you are missing things!), here it is. MY GOD, like howwwww…
Sidenote – Stephanie Hsu’s made me laugh so much too because she is so cute and she TOOK HER TIME, as she should! Anyway…
We are a community here of Aaron Pierre’s obsessives because that walk has become so popular, so thirsted over, that apparently there are husbands out there trying to recreate it. My husband could never, and SHOULD NEVER. It would have the opposite effect on me. Jacek has many gifts, but not this. It would ruin our relationship. Let me end though on a compliment – today I went back to work because Jacek took over my shift at the hospital with my ma, voluntarily spending several hours with the most difficult woman in our lives. Don’t worry, he’ll get some. (Sorry to Emily who thinks of herself as our daughter and is now probably grossed out.) (Note from Emily: I'd rather hear about your sex life than witness dad try to recreate this dance, tbh.) (The Root)
