At the Amazon Prime upfront today, Reese Witherspoon made a surprise appearance, in character as Elle Woods, with Bruiser (or his heir), to announce the return of Elle Woods – but the origin story.

 

Currently titled Elle, the show has been ordered to series. And Reese even did the “bend and snap” on stage. So this will be about Elle in high school, which I don’t hate. But now I’m curious about casting. Ava Phillippe is now 24 so probably too old but on appearance, she would have been perfect a few years ago.  (Variety)

 

Kathryn Hahn’s new Agatha series for Marvel is coming later this year and they’re having some naming problems – or maybe fun. Either they can’t decide on the title or they’re trolling. I know a Name Therapist who can help. Duana, are you offering your services, or what? (The Mary Sue)

We do not know when or if Tom Holland will be returning as Spider-Man. We do know, however, that Nicolas Cage IS returning as Spider-Man Noir and this is not just for the nerds. Many of us who aren’t comic book experts will also be watching the sh-t out of this because it’s Nicolas Cage in a trenchcoat and goggles and being super extra, which is his natural state – in live action – and I don’t see how anyone would complain about this.

Jane Krakowski has embellishments over the breast part of her blazer and the Fug Girls are seeing potholders but I’m seeing net fries (or waffle fries). Maybe because I’m hungry. It’s been a minute since I’ve eaten net fries. If you live in Toronto tell me a place that serves burgers with net fries please. Tennis core for potatoes! (GoFugYourself)

Prince Andrew has long hoped that his daughters would play a more prominent role in the British royal families’ public duties. But years ago his brother, now the king, insisted on a slimmed down monarchy – which was a good idea until his relationship with his youngest child deteriorated and two of his MVPs moved to the United States. Now they’re shorthanded, so apparently Princess Beatrice will be asked to step up. Which is an opportunity she seems to have wanted for a long, long time. Hope her parents don’t embarrass her just as she gets this big promotion. (Celebitchy)
