Jennifer Lopez still has 'some bitterness' after her split from Ben Affleck
When did we, as a society, decide that September 1st marks the beginning of fall? I saw so many ?end of summer? stories and social media posts, and I read all of them in 80-degree heat as my AC blasted. Autumn doesn?t really begin until mid-September, in my opinion. That?s when mornings and evenings are cooler and everything feels crisp. Anyway, Jennifer Lopez was one of those people marking the end of summer. J.Lo did a photo-dump with the message ?Oh, it was a summer? on her social media. I love all of the photos, especially the t-shirt reading ?she?s in bloom and unbothered out of reach and at peace.? J.Lo said: Im washing that man right out of my hair. Which is the right way to play it publicly, especially after Jennifer spent a full week ensuring that she got her side out there and everyone knows that Ben Affleck is a douchebag. Speaking of:

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are both focusing on the good amid their split. Nearly two weeks after the Atlas actress, 55, filed for divorce from the Air actor-director, 52, an Affleck source tells PEOPLE that he is doing well and slowly moving into his new home.

Hes where he wants to be: close to his kids and in a neighborhood that he loves, the source adds. He enjoys working too, and is very focused on the positives.

Meanwhile, a Lopez source tells PEOPLE that she still feels very fortunate with how her life is now despite feeling some bitterness about the split. She tried so hard to make things work and it didnt matter to Ben.

Shes surrounded by family, friends and her kids, the source close to Lopez says. She always manages to have a positive outlook. The divorce is difficult for her, but she always finds a way to move forward.

[From People]

Yeah, I?m still dying to know what went down in early spring, because that?s when everything seemed to fall apart for good. But I appreciate how Jennifer has handled this in recent weeks. It feels like she got some things out of her system too, and I hope she?s really done with all things Ben Affleck.

Brad Pitt made his red-carpet debut with Ines de Ramon at the 'Wolfs' premiere

Brad Pitt made his red-carpet debut with Ines de Ramon at the 'Wolfs' premiere
Here are some photos of Brad Pitt and his girlfriend Ines de Ramon in Venice. I?m including photos of their arrival in Venice and then pics from the big Venice premiere of Wolfs on Sunday. This was Brad and Ines?s first red carpet together and it was widely predicted that this would be their debut. My general thoughts on these photos? Ines is an attractive woman and I sort of feel sorry for her, but whatever, she made her bed. Brad looks horrendous like a man who overdid the pre-Venice injectables and plastic surgery, then tried to cover it up with too much makeup and a bright orange tanning spray.

You know how I know that this relationship is weird? Because ?sources close to Brad? can?t shut up about it and the whole thing comes across as very uncool and performative. This should be a moment for the photos to speak for themselves, the big couple debut on a red carpet, pizzazz, glamour, etc. Instead, Brad?s team wanted to step all over Angelina Jolie?s good press just a few days earlier, so they told Page Six that Ines and Brad have been holed up at Chateau Miraval this summer (so much for vacationing with the Clooneys?) and that Ines has been spending a lot of time in the chateau co-owned by Yuri Shefler. Don?t forget this item dropped in People:

Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramons relationship is going strong after the pair enjoyed a great summer together, according to a source.

Brads been working in Europe, so theyve spent a lot of time there, the source exclusively tells PEOPLE. Hes serious about Ines, the source adds. Hes very happy and enjoys spending time with her. Shes easygoing and everyone likes her.

[From People]

Don?t you get it? They definitely, 100% spent the summer together and this is not a showmance of convenience. Meanwhile, Brad?s team couldn?t help themselves they were so mad that Angelina was treated like a queen at Venice, they dropped a separate item into People Magazine in which a source close to Pitt said its pretty shocking that Brad and Angelina still cant find a resolution and finalize the divorce.? Does Brad really want to keep banging this drum? Because I?m absolutely positive that he?s the one holding everything up.

George Clooney on his Biden op-ed: 'none of that is gonna be remembered'

George Clooney on his Biden op-ed: 'none of that is gonna be remembered'
George and Amal Clooney walked the red carpet together for the Wolfs premiere at the Venice Film Festival on Sunday night. The Clooneys were in Venice for several days and these photos were supposed to be the big, splashy premiere which would launch Wolfs and make it a much-needed box office success for Clooney and Brad Pitt. Hilariously, AppleTV+ is no longer giving this film a wide theatrical release. The Clooneys put on this big show for what is basically a direct-to-streaming mess.

Amal looked nice, albeit sort of like a showgirl? She?s done this before, and I suspect that George prefers when she?s styled this way, with big hair and heavy makeup. Her gown was Atelier Versace, and she wore Cartier jewelry. George wore Armani, of course. Amal pulls off most shades of yellow but this feels a tad same-y to me? It just feels like we?ve already seen both of them do versions of all of this a million times before.

Meanwhile, George is still trying to figure out what to say now that President Biden has left the presidential race. Back in July, George wrote a NYT op-ed in which he mocked Joe Biden for being old and said that Biden should step down and the Democrats should have a mini-primary. The op-ed was part of a coordinated effort by certain Democrats to not only get a sitting president out of the race, but to marginalize the sitting vice president. They wanted a contested convention too, don?t forget about that. Well, here?s what George said about everything that?s happened:

?The person who should be applauded is the president, who has done the most selfless thing anybody has done since George Washington, and that?s the truth. All of the machinations that got us there, none of that is gonna be remembered. And it shouldn?t be. What should be remembered is the selfless act of someone who, it?s very hard to let go of power ? we know that, we?ve seen it all around the world ? and for someone to say I think there?s a better path forward, all the credit goes to him. And that?s really the truth, and all of the rest of it will be long gone and forgotten and so I?m just very proud of where we are in the state of the world right now.?

[Transcribed via Reuters]

?All of the machinations that got us there, none of that is gonna be remembered.? LMAO. No, George, I will never forget. There are a lot of people who will never forget. The disloyalty, the classlessness, the lack of grace, the public political malpractice. I still haven?t heard one gdamn thing about George opening up his purse for Kamala Harris either.

Winona Ryder worries that the youths 'are just not interested in movies'
Here are some additional photos of Winona Ryder at the Venice Film Festival on Wednesday. She was in town to promote Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, alongside Jenna Ortega, Catherine O?Hara, Michael Keaton and the rest of the cast. Winona has been enjoying a ?second act? to her career for years now, and it might actually be a third act? I don?t know. The point is, between this film and Stranger Things, Winona has been working with a lot of much-younger costars and she has some thoughts about them. Mostly, she has thoughts about how they don?t have the attention spans or the ability to watch real movies. From her interview with the LA Times:

Ryder, however, is concerned about the future. Not about her own career, exactly, but for the continuation of the medium of film, which she holds dear. The nights she spent with [Gena] Rowlands driving around in a cab for [Jim] Jarmusch?s movie represent the kind of art she loves.

?I?m not a religious person,? she says. ?I?m not anti-religion, but I feel like the closest is film and it?s to me a very sacred thing. I feel so protective, but I?m not in any place to be in control. It?s not up to me.?

[Ryder] was immediately impressed with her younger co-star after Ortega mentioned ?I Am Cuba,? the 1964 film by Soviet director Mikhail Kalatozov, during one of their early scenes. They were working in a crypt and Ryder says she almost wept hearing Ortega reference specific shots from the classic.

Ryder appreciates getting to interact with the up-and-coming generation of film lovers who remind her of herself, excitedly telling me how her ?Stranger Things? co-star Finn Wolfhard is obsessed with Elliott Gould. Still, she gets frustrated when there is a lack of curiosity among her more junior colleagues.

?I don?t mean to sound so hopeless,? she says. ?There are a few that are just not interested in movies. Like, the first thing they say is, ?How long is it?? ?

[From The LA Times]

I think Winona is right and wrong. There are many youths who have no attention span for movies and no curiosity about the history of film. We?ve seen that over and over whenever one of the great filmmakers criticizes Marvel or the superhero genre tons of young people screaming about how Avengers: Endgame was the most important film of all time or how Martin Scorsese isn?t important and his opinions don?t matter. So that?s real and that?s what Winona is talking about. But I also think there are many young people who actually do have the attention span and the willingness and they just don?t know where to start. It?s easier to binge-watch seven seasons of a TV show on Netflix than hunt for old Douglas Sirk or John Cassavetes films.

Also: in this LAT piece, Winona says that she still exchanges hand-written letters with Keanu Reeves and Daniel Day-Lewis. OMG.

Angelina Jolie wore Tamara Ralph & wept during the 8-minute ovation in Venice
Hands on your knees, Angelina Jolie! Angelina stole the show and perhaps the hearts of all Italians last night in Venice. Pablo Larrain?s Maria got its splashy Venice Film Festival premiere on the second night, and the reception was rapturous. Every critic who watched the screening has raved about the film and Angelina?s performance. If the critics have their way, she will be guaranteed an Oscar nomination and she?s likely the front-runner to win. They?re calling it a career-best performance from Jolie. They?re saying she?s the only one who could have played Maria Callas. They?re saying Angelina is one of the few movie stars left in the world.

Angelina?s look at the premiere was dramatic? for beige. Truly, the most dramatic beige I?ve ever seen. Angelina?s gown is a custom look from Tamara Ralph, one half of Ralph & Russo. Jolie used to wear a lot of Ralph & Russo back in the day, and I kind of love that she went back to Tamara Ralph. She paired the gown with a faux fur stole and Cartier jewelry. Earlier in the day, she wore a Cartier brooch, a vintage piece which once belonged to Maria Callas. Perhaps her brooch at the premiere also had a Callas connection. I would assume that Angelina?s blood-red lipstick is courtesy of Tom Ford Beauty, since she recently became the face of the beauty company.

After the premiere, Angelina and Pablo Larrain received an eight-minute standing ovation. Angelina cried, she was so moved by the reception. The critics have been moved as well I?ve seen a couple of critics admit to weeping at parts of the movie. Basically, Angelina has fully achieved goddess status this year. Italians camped out overnight for a glimpse of her. One man sang in Italian to her at the photocall. Journalists were asking for her autograph. One of her fans has brittle-bone disease and he asked to be transported by gurney to the premiere so he could possibly meet Jolie. She dutifully stopped, knelt down and spoke to him. She really is Saint Angelina now.

CIA: Terrorist plot at Taylor Swift's Vienna concerts was serious and advanced

CIA: Terrorist plot at Taylor Swift's Vienna concerts was serious and advanced
Taylor Swift had three concerts scheduled in Vienna in early August that had to be canceled last minute when Austrian authorities uncovered a planned terrorist attack. Taylor did not make any public statements at the time, which was the safe and soundest thing to do while law enforcement worked to apprehend the suspect. Taylor ended up not commenting on what happened until a few weeks later, after she?d completed the European leg of the Eras Tour with her second stop in London. Now the CIA is confirming just how serious the situation was. While speaking at a security summit this week, the deputy director characterized the terrorist plot as ?serious? and ?quite advanced,? and that it had the potential to kill tens of thousands of people. Thank goodness everyone took the right steps to ensure that it didn?t.

The planned terrorist plot at Taylor Swift?s shows in Vienna earlier this month was intended to kill ?tens of thousands? of fans, according to the deputy director of the CIA.

?They were plotting to kill a huge number, tens of thousands of people at this concert, I am sure many Americans,? CIA Deputy Director David S. Cohen said on Wednesday after revealing at the Intelligence and National Security Summit that the information Austrian authorities used to stop the terror plot was given to the CIA.

He also noted at the summit held in Maryland that those who planned the attack ?were quite advanced in this.?

On Aug. 7, Austrian authorities arrested two people accused of plotting a terror attack, with additional arrests made in subsequent days. Some of the individuals arrested were found with bomb-making materials and had access to the concert venue, where several shows were scheduled to take place in the days following the arrests.

Austrian officials said the main suspect, a 19-year-old Austrian man, was inspired by the Islamic State group. He allegedly planned to attack outside the stadium, where upwards of 30,000 fans were expected to gather, with another 65,000 likely to be inside the venue. Investigators discovered chemical substances and technical devices during a raid of the suspect?s home.

Austria?s interior minister, Gerhard Karner, previously stated that help from other intelligence agencies was necessary because Austrian investigators, unlike some foreign services, cannot legally monitor text messages.

The main suspect?s lawyer claimed the allegations were ?overacting at its best,? arguing that Austrian authorities were ?presenting this exaggeratedly? to push for new surveillance powers.

Swift had been planning to hold three concerts in Vienna beginning Aug. 8, with 200,000 people expected to attend. Last week, in a social media post, the singer broke her silence about the cancellations after concluding her London shows at Wembley Stadium.

?Having our Vienna shows cancelled was devastating,? she wrote in a statement posted to Instagram. ?The reason for the cancellations filled me with a new sense of fear, and a tremendous amount of guilt because so many people had planned on coming to those shows.?

?But I was also so grateful to the authorities because thanks to them, we were grieving concerts and not lives.?

[From Hollywood Life]

Further on in Taylor?s Instagram post she made it very clear that her silence had been intentional. ?My priority was finishing our European tour safely, and it is with great relief that I can say we did that.? That?s absolutely right. Canceling the shows, cooperating with law enforcement, and not commenting until the entire tour leg was over protected the lives of her fans and everyone who works on the tour. And it sounds like the CIA stepped in fairly quickly to assist the Austrian authorities. This is a whole other conversation, but I find that detail on Austrians not being allowed to monitor their citizens? text messages rather fascinating.

Jenna Ortega & Winona Ryder went full goth-girl at the Venice 'Beetlejuice' premiere
You might think, ?why did a commercial sequel to Beetlejuice get a world premiere at the Venice Film Festival?? At least that?s what I thought at first. But seeing the photos from Venice, I get it. This was a MOMENT. The cast really delivered too. Venice believed in Tim Burton so much that Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was the opening night premiere. I?m splitting up the photos. This post is just for the cast of B2, as I?m calling it now so I won?t have to type it out every time.

Winona Ryder wore Chanel and she walked the carpet with her longtime partner Scott Mackinlay Hahn. He?s a smokeshow in a quiet way! They look lovely together. Winona is absolutely theme dressing for B2, but I feel pretty confident that she would have worn Chanel or something like this regardless. She?s supposed to look like Lydia Deetz! And that makes my goth-girl heart sing.

Jenna Ortega who plays Lydia?s daughter in B2 wore Dior. This is supposed to be a sartorial callback to the ?wedding dress? worn by Lydia in B1. It?s cool! I like the look more knowing the backstory, and I like that Jenna did a vampy makeup look.

Other fashion notes: Catherine O?Hara wore a spectacular, on-theme Oscar de la Renta. And Monica Belluci wore Vivienne Westwood Monica is in the film, and she?s also dating the director, Tim Burton. They held hands on the carpet.

Also coupled up on the carpet: Justin Theroux and his girlfriend Nicole Brydon Bloom. I think this is their red-carpet couple debut, actually (scratch that they went to the Vanity Fair Oscar party this year). She?s pretty? but she looks very young. Let me look it up? oh, she?s only 30 years old. He?s 53. Yeah? that?s what I would expect from him.

Angelina Jolie looks radiant in Saint Laurent at the Venice photocall for 'Maria'
Here are some new photos of Angelina Jolie today at the Venice Film Festival. This is from the photocall and daytime promotion for Pablo Larrain?s Maria, which stars Angelina as Maria Callas. The world premiere is this evening and I hope Angelina brings the drama! I don?t have an ID on this dress, but she wore Tom Ford to an event last night. Meaning, she?s not just wearing pieces from Atelier Jolie for this promotion, and mama?s got a new Tom Ford Beauty contract, so who knows. This doesn?t look like Tom Ford to me, but I wonder if she?ll wear that label at the premiere. Update: this dress is Saint Laurent.

Meanwhile, there was some concern that Angelina might run into Brad Pitt, who is also scheduled to appear in Venice to promote Wolfs with George Clooney. Venice organizers have arranged it so that the two exes who are currently suing each other will not come into contact:

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will avoid any awkward run-in this week while promoting their movies at the Venice International Film Festival ? as programmers have taken extra precaution to keep the embattled exes apart. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Venice artistic director Alberto Barbera said the fest took special care to keep the famous exes? films from overlapping on its schedule.

?Angelina will be on the first day, on Thursday [Aug. 29], and she will leave right after with [?Maria? director] Pablo Larran? for the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado, Barbera said. ?So Brad will arrive only on Saturday, to Venice. There is no way that they can cross each other at the Lido,? the famed island on which the fest takes place.

A source tells us the Hollywood stars did not request that the fest space out their films.

?Neither asked for that, they were wise enough to realize,? said our source.

[From Page Six]

Good. I wouldn?t blame Angelina if she did ask for a special arrangement to be made, but that probably didn?t happen. Once the festival realized that Angelina would show up (her first time in years), they did all they could to make sure that she?s being treated appropriately.

Meanwhile, at the beginning of the week, Maria did not have an American distributor and there were some concerns that no one wanted to invest in a smaller-budget Oscar-bait drama. Well, Netflix has now picked up Maria! I hope they do a theatrical release, but I?ll be fine if this goes straight to streaming too. I feel like Netflix is perfectly willing to put some money behind Angelina?s Oscar campaign. Speaking of, we don?t have a trailer for Maria yet but they did release a clip. I?m already obsessed.

Angelina Jolie wore a trench at her Venice arrival & she?ll be honored at TIFF
Here are some photos of Angelina Jolie arriving in Italy ahead of the Venice Film Festival premiere of Maria. She stars as Maria Callas in Pablo Larrain?s latest biographical film. Angelina wore a ?short-sleeve trench coat? as she arrived in Venice, and Vogue is obsessed with the summer trench and her Mulberry boots. Fingers crossed that Angelina doesn?t promote this film in a variety of sack dresses. Meanwhile, it?s looking pretty certain that Angelina will also go to Canada for the Toronto Film Festival. Not for Maria, but for the film she directed, Without Blood. Not only will she premiere Without Blood at TIFF, she?s also receiving the TIFF Tribute Award. Good!

Angelina Jolie is set to receive the TIFF Tribute Award in Impact Media at the upcoming Toronto Film Festival.

The Oscar-winning actress will be honored on Sept. 8 at the TIFF fundraiser, while also bringing her latest film, Without Blood, to Toronto for a world premiere. Written, directed and produced by Jolie, Without Blood is a war drama based on the Alessandro Baricco novel of the same name and tells the story of a girl?s quest for revenge and healing during a time of conflict. Salma Hayek Pinault and Demin Bichir have lead roles.

Jolie will be feted alongside fellow trophy winners Amy Adams, Jharrel Jerome, Cate Blanchett, Mike Leigh, Durga Chew-Bose, David Cronenberg, Clment Ducol, and Camille and Zhao Tao. TIFF Tribute Award honorees tend to have films in Toronto?s official lineup.

Jolie also brought her earlier films First They Killed My Father and The Breadwinner, which she executive produced, to Toronto for launches.

[From THR]

Jolie fans, I really hope that we have an amazing fall and an amazing awards season. I don?t have a sense of how Without Blood will be received, but the early buzz on Maria is that it will be an awards contender. I think Angelina will probably promote both films concurrently, and it will help if Without Blood gets some critical buzz too. So many red carpets! So many capes and sack dresses! I?m so excited. As for this TIFF award? yeah, they pass these out like candy, but still, it?s nice. I?m glad she?s being honored.

VF: Angelina Jolie gives a 'defining, crowning, staggering performance' as Maria Callas
Pablo Larrain?s Maria will premiere at the Venice Film Festival this week, reportedly on Thursday. This is Angelina Jolie?s first starring role in several years, and her first period drama in more than a decade. Maria also marks the third film in Larrain?s trilogy of ?tragic and famous women,? following Jackie and Spencer. Angelina plays Maria Callas, the American opera singer who mostly worked and lived in Europe as an adult. Callas also famously had an affair with Aristotle Onassis and he treated her very badly. Well, Vanity Fair had a great ?awards insider? exclusive with Larrain, and this is doing so much to get people hyped for the film. Some highlights:

How Larrain approached Angelina: Pablo Larran had met Angelina Jolie a few times over the years, and hoped one day to make a movie with her. In 2021, just as he?d wrapped post-production on Spencer, his disorienting portrait of Princess Diana, the Chilean director had found just the project?his next English-language movie. ?I talked to Angie and said, ?Look, I?d like to make a movie with you. I won?t tell you what it is, but please go and see Spencer,?? he tells me. Larran rented out a screening room on the Paramount lot for Jolie to see the movie, featuring Kristen Stewart in an Oscar-nominated turn, and awaited Jolie?s reaction. She watched, called him up, raved and raved, and told him she wanted to work together. Larran did not hesitate in his reply: ?Would you play Maria Callas??

She took a few days to decided to do it: Jolie was taken aback. She took a few days to think about it. She had just been asked to portray one of the most renowned opera singers of the 20th century by a filmmaker known for creating emotionally intense, unrelenting, and dreamlike character studies. By the time she said yes, though, she?d fallen in love with the idea?. Larran, who grew up going to the opera in Santiago with his mother, immersed himself in Callas?s voice and devised a ?musical map? for the film, with her work providing the movie?s entire soundscape. And Jolie began her own training, which lasted over six months in total?and resulted in a defining, crowning, at times staggering performance.

The bulk of the movie is set in ?70s Paris near the end of Callas?s life: ?She became the sum of the tragedies that she played on stage,? Larran says. ?The movie is about someone who, after dedicating her life to the audiences around the world that would listen to her, decides to find her own voice, her own identity, and finally do something just for herself.?

Jolie?s performance: Jolie?s approach to her character is simultaneously heartbreaking, erratic, and imposing, displaying a cellular kind of understanding of Callas?s desperation to reclaim herself before it?s too late. ?This is the greatest diva of the 20th century, and who could play that?? Larran says. ?I didn?t want to work with someone that didn?t have that already. I needed an actress who would naturally and organically be that diva, carry that weight, be that presence. Angelina was there.? He describes her preparation as ?very long, very particular, very difficult.? She worked on posture. She studied breathing. She developed an accent befitting a woman of both the world and another plane of fame. Then came the voice lessons.

Angelina?s voice is mixed with Callas? voice: Yes, that really is Angelina Jolie singing, although not just her. Larran and his star worked closely with Oscar winner John Warhurst (Bohemian Rhapsody, the upcoming Michael), who as Larran puts it has ?dedicated his life to actors who sing in movies,? to create innovative, synthesized recordings. Over months, Jolie learned her subject?s cadence and her signatures. Eventually, she got to the point where she?d hear the operas in an earpiece while singing them herself. Larran and Warhurst would record Jolie?s performance, then mix it with Callas?s. ?You always listen to Angelina and you always listen to Maria Callas,? as Larran puts it. ?When we listen to Maria Callas in her prime, most of the sound is Callas?90%, 95%?and when we listen to Callas older and in the present, almost all of it is Angelina.?

Larrain didn?t give Jolie many notes: A few weeks in, Larran stopped giving Jolie instructions. The best direction was silence; the best note was no note. ?It was so truthful, we just kept rolling and let her do her thing,? he says. ?She can let you in when she wants, and she can create a distance where she wants. It?s a dance of vulnerability.?

[From Vanity Fair]

Larrain really has become something of a self-styled ?women?s director.? Kristen Stewart and Natalie Portman raved about working with him and he is known for creating a lot of artistic intimacy with his leading ladies and giving them space and time to do their best work. All of which to say, I hope Maria is as good as VF makes it sound, and I hope Angelina gets a real awards campaign. It?s been a while since she?s been part of an awards-bait film. One cool thing is that if she does end up doing the whole awards season rigmarole, she?ll probably wear a lot of fashion from her sustainable Atelier Jolie line.
