All this talk about The Odyssey but let’s not forget that probably the first real Oscar contender to come out this year was Project Hail Mary, starring Ryan Gosling. And he too is in play for another Best Actor Oscar nomination.
Ryan’s not thinking about that right now, though. What he’s doing is sleeping better at night now that something that’s been tormenting him for almost a decade has been addressed. We are nearly at the ten year anniversary of the release of La La Land. And they’ve fixed the poster… but… not that I want Ryan to not rest, but I feel like the original is better. Perfect symmetry isn’t always the answer.
Why is this SO funny? I screamed when our site manager Emily sent it to me yesterday and I’m still LOLing about it now. It’s also strangely addictive. Like I’m fascinated by that puddy neck!
This is also a scream for me – and touches on what Maria often writes about in this space: celebrity birthday dedications and making it all about yourself. How do we assess this one, though? Because technically JLo was also celebrating her own (early) birthday, it’s this coming Friday. But also her sister’s… and you wouldn’t know it because she decided to post the most extra solo shot in first position in the carousel, hahahaha.
I have so many (good) thoughts about Rocky pulling up to help Rihanna sell skincare products. First, they’re just so cute. And hot. And cute. I love that they’re so fully immersed in all aspects of each other’s lives. But also, Rocky is actually the perfect candidate to market the products to men – who should be more encouraged to use them! At least once a day I tell my husband he needs to moisturise because, seriously, it’s looking more and more like we’re in a large age gap relationship, when I’m the one who’s older (by 18 months).
