Media Manipulation Bad Moms, Bad Trailer Last week, Lainey wrote about Mila Kunis revealing her former f-ckbuddy relationship with Ashton Kutcher on Howard Stern. It’s notable because Mila and Ashton are privacy scolds, except on the red carpet. And when she’s talking about her pregnancy on Ellen. Besides that, they are inscrutable!

Amazingness Magic at Comic-Con Sarah covered WB’s superhero onslaught at Comic-Con earlier today. For me, like her, the highlight of all that was Wonder Woman.

Movie Reviews and Previews Wonder Woman stands alone Though they showed off two major superhero teams, the biggest hit of the DC Films portion of Warner Brothers’ presentation was the first trailer for Wonder Woman.
