I genuinely hope that last night?s LA premiere was the final piece of the Challengers promotional tour. Not that I?m tired of Zendaya?s many sartorial adventures, but I just think these actors are exhausted. They criss-crossed around Europe last week, even turning up in Monaco for the men?s tennis tournament (they watched one of the men?s semifinals) at the Monte Carlo Country Club. The way Challengers has done promotional tie-ins with various tennis tournaments is sort of amazing too Zendaya has turned up at more major tournaments in the past two years than several top players.
Anyway, here are some pics from the big LA premiere. Zendaya wore a custom Vera Wang ballgown which? is not my favorite look from the tour. It?s very princessy, which is fine, but it also has kind of a weird Lady Marmalade vibe which clashes with Challengers? It?s the lace on the bodice, I think.
Zendaya also changed into this Celia Kritharioti dress which fully makes her look like she?s wearing a tennis ball.

Last week, I was surprised to learn that Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan?s divorce has still not been finalized or settled. They ended up bifurcating their divorce so they?re both ?legally single? right now (and engaged to other people), but they are still fighting about money. Specifically, the Magic Mike money. Channing has now starred in and produced three Magic Mike movies, and the whole franchise is based on his own experiences as a stripper in Florida. Beyond the film franchise, there are mega-lucrative offshoots like the Magic Mike Live shows in Vegas and London. While Channing isn?t going to become a billionaire from the Magic Mike intellectual property, he?s definitely made a significant amount of money from it. Jenna seems to be arguing that everything Magic Mike-

| | Producer Carol Baum: Sydney Sweeney 'is not pretty, she can't act, why is she so hot?' | | Added 17 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Sydney Sweeney is an attractive blonde actress who has been on a significant rise for the past three years or so. She?s a big deal because of her Emmy-nominated turn in Euphoria, her Emmy-nominated turn in The White Lotus Season 1, Reality (where she played the lead, Reality Winner), Sharp Objects and most recently, Immaculate and Anyone But You. Sweeney produced the last two films, and Anyone But You was considered an old-school, enjoyable mid-budget rom-com and it?s been Sydney?s biggest success as a producer. Well, the fact that a cute blonde actress is out there, developing and producing projects for herself has apparently broken the brains of some Hollywood producers. The Mail had some exclusive comments from ?top female producer? Carol Baum, who basically called Sydney an ugly, untalented flop.
She is one of Hollywoods hottest young rising stars recently been hailed as evidence for woke culture being in the decline. But now Sydney Sweeney has been fiercely blasted by one of Hollywoods top female producers.
Shes not pretty, she cant act, claims Carol Baum, whose films include Father of the Bride and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Baum, speaking with New York Times film critic Janet Maslin before an audience of fans following a screening of her 1988 film Dead Ringers starring Jeremy Irons, held nothing back as she began her critique of the 26-year-old actress.
Theres an actress who everybody loves now Sydney Sweeney. I dont get Sydney Sweeney. I was watching on the plane Sydney Sweeneys movie because I wanted to watch it, she says about Anyone But You. I wanted to know who she is and why everybodys talking about her, she told Maslin and her audience. I watched this unwatchable movie- sorry to people who love this movie [this] romantic comedy where they hate each other.
Referencing the producing class she teaches at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, Baum added: I said to my class, Explain this girl to me. Shes not pretty, she cant act. Why is she so hot? Nobody had an answer but then the question was asked, Well if you could get your movie made because she was in it, would you do it? I said, Well thats a really good questionthats a very hard question to answer because we all want to get the movie made and who walks away from a green light? Nobody I know. Your job is to get the movie made.
Baum has produced 34 films starring the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Michael Douglas and Dolly Parton and last year published a book entitled Creative Producing.
[From The Daily Mail]
True story: Anyone But You looked stupid to me, but I admired the way Sydney hustled for that movie and created a gossip storyline (did she bang Glen Powell and ruin his relationship with Gigi Paris, who knows???), and I admired the fact that she developed it and put the whole thing together (on a budget of $25 million). Even if people weren?t wild about the movie, they appreciated the fact that they had the option of seeing a normie rom-com in the theater. Audiences liked it so much that the film made $218 million at the box office and Sydney and Glen are now looking for another rom-com script to reunite on-screen.
So, what?s my point? Carol Baum is a hater. While Anyone But You is not, like, Citizen Kane, it?s a perfectly fine and successful movie which audiences liked and appreciated. Why this ad hominem attack on Sydney Sweeney?s acting skills and beauty? I actually think Sweeney is an underrated actress people see a blonde with big boobs, and they think she?s a talentless ditz, but she?s got range. She also has a surprising jolie-laide quality where she can really look downtrodden and mousy.
Add to all of this other nonsense, the whole ?Sydney Sweeney destroys wokeness? thing is because she?s a conventionally attractive woman with a great body. It has nothing to do with wokeness, right-wing guys are just idiots.

Here are some photos from the 10th Annual Breakthrough Prize Ceremony at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles. This event was as well-attended as the Oscars, I swear. Kim Kardashian got a lot of attention for wearing this 2024 version of the ?bandage dress.? The old version was Herve Leger, but I haven?t seen an ID for this one. Kim occasionally does ?wet look? hair and I hate to admit it, but she sort of pulls it off. I mean, she looks like a plastic Barbie doll left in the pool, but she also just looks pulled-together and pretty. Her date was her momager Kris Jenner.
Elon Musk was there. He looked like a needy ahole begging for attention. Growing up, I used to think being a billionaire must be so cool. If anything, Musk shows everyone that you can have more money than God and still be the biggest fking loser.
Brie Larson wore Chanel she has this thing where she?ll wear something interesting or offbeat, but she somehow makes it look so boring.
Jessica Chastain looks sort of like a game-show hostess but I love the color.
Venus Williams is a literal GODDESS and she was my pick for best dressed of the event.
Last people: Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, Katy wore Coperni. I swear, about five other women wore versions of this dress. Michelle Yeoh kept it simple and elegant; Glenn Close wore a shiny jumpsuit; and I kind of like this version of Maria Sharapova, where she has dark hair and looks like hell.

Here?s a photo of Taylor Swift happily (?) posing with Teresa Giudice at Coachella over the weekend. Teresa posted it on her IG! Taylor went to Coachella with Travis Kelce, and there?s a wealth of TNT photos and videos from the music festival. All of the paparazzi photos are pretty exclusive, but I?m including some stuff below.
They saw Bleachers perform, because Taylor supports Jack Antonoff. They saw Ice Spice. They saw DJ Dom Dollas set. Travis lifted her in the air like she weighs nothing even more evidence that we need to date buff guys who can carry us and lift us in every way. Taylor also wore a New Heights baseball cap that?s the name of the Kelce Bros? podcast. They also went to Neon Carnival, ?the invite-only Coachella after-party.? I have to say, judging solely from the Coachella pics I?ve seen, the vibe at the festival has gotten more and more ?rich person cosplaying a hippie? with each passing year. Maybe Coachella was always that way, but the whole thing just looks like they dropped an exclusive members-only club in the middle of the Coachella valley.

Recently, I realized that Sydney Sweeney is a Virgo and our birthdays are only one day apart. This explains so much why I feel drawn to Sydney?s vibe and how Sydney has figured out a way to engineer her career. I wonder if she understands that she?s now part of the grand tradition of Virgo entertainers hyper-organized perfectionists who are comfortable with the spotlight even if they don?t revel in it. Sydney recently chatted with the Wall Street Journal about sleep, breakfast and how she never drinks coffee.
In a new interview with the Wall Street Journal, Sydney Sweeney ? who stars in the new horror film Immaculate ? revealed that she never has coffee and can allegedly function with just two hours of sleep.
?I sleep however many hours I get in a night, but I?m known for being able to function off of very, very little for a very long amount of time,? she told WSJ after being asked about a rumor that she can run on two hours of sleep.
When asked about her breakfast routine, she added, ?I?ve never tried coffee before. I just drink water. For breakfast, I like a berry bowl. Maybe some granola, bacon, a croissant, but I always go to berries.?
In the interview, the actress said she liked ?full-body high-intensity? workouts like SolidCore, though ?it?s been killing my ass,? and that she usually wakes up at 7:30 a.m. every morning.
The actress also confirmed that Euphoria ? which HBO confirmed is delayed on Monday ? will be filming this year.
When asked about her vintage car restoration hobby, Sweeney said, ?I have a car I?m about to start. I don?t want to spoil what it is yet because I?m going to post it on my TikTok, but I?ve had it for a while. I?ve been saving it, and it?s going to be my project this year while I film Euphoria.?
[From Rolling Stone]
I?m not a coffee drinker either, although I have been drinking frappuccinos in recent years and they have a nice coffee kick. I get my caffeine fix from diet soda though. I bet Sydney does not. I bet she?s drinking water or juices throughout the day. As for sleep? the thing is, she?s really young. She?s only 26. In your teens and 20s, you can rock and roll on very little sleep. It catches up to you at some point though. I used to be able to live and work quite normally on three or four hours of sleep. Now if I don?t get a solid six or seven hours, I?m a grumpy mess.

A few years ago, Vivienne Jolie-Pitt spent months dragging her mother to regional performances of Dear Evan Hansen. I?m pretty sure Angelina Jolie saw that musical more than a dozen times. That?s when we knew Vivienne is a musical theater girlie. She?s a theater nerd. This was confirmed by Angelina last summer, when she announced that she would step in as a producer on a Broadway-bound musical adaptation of The Outsiders. Vivienne had seen the musical first and she dragged her mother to it and convinced Angelina to invest and produce. Angelina also announced that Vivienne would step in as her assistant as the musical transferred to Broadway. All of which means that Vivienne and Angelina both walked the carpet last night for the opening night of The Outsiders.
Angelina looked amazing so healthy, so happy, so proud to be there with those theater people, so proud of Vivienne too. Vivienne happily posed with the cast and they all seem to get along really well. I would not have chosen these colors for Angelina, but she looked gorgeous in her satin (?) gown and cape. I haven?t seen any IDs for Angelina?s look, but I would guess that these are pieces designed by Atelier Jolie, the fashion collective she founded last year. The earrings are especially bonkers! Angelina spoke to People Magazine exclusively about the Broadway opening:
The Outsiders on Broadway is a family affair for Angelina Jolie and daughter Vivienne.
Viv is a young artist who focuses her efforts on her support of others, the actress, 48, tells PEOPLE ahead of the April 11 opening of Broadways adaption of The Outsiders, which she co-produced. Her daughter worked on the production as a volunteer assistant. Jolie described how Vivienne, 15, got her into the musical, She saw an early workshop a few times and then invited me to it.
PEOPLE previously reported that the pair also met with the books author S. E. Hinton, who famously wrote The Outsiders as a high-school student in the 1960s. Of Vivienne, Jolie adds, She has been there to assist in any way she can and has learned so much from [score and co-book writer] Justin Levine and the whole creative team.
Jolie tells PEOPLE that it?s been a privilege to be a part of the process of bringing The Outsiders to the Great White Way, adding, I have so much respect for Broadway and all who work within.
I?m excited for audiences to see it, she continues. I?ve been in the theatre watching as the first reactions came in, including the often very emotional reaction from young people. It?s very moving.
[From People]
Previously, Angelina described Vivienne as someone who loved to work with creative people behind the scenes. Angelina said that Viv reminds her of her mother, Marcheline Bertrand. Which is really beautiful? Angelina lost Marcheline in 2007, and then welcomed Viv and Knox in 2008. Can?t believe Knox and Viv turn 16 years old in July!!

The first Bridget Jones film, Bridget Jones?s Diary, is so good. It?s everything you want from a romantic comedy it?s genuinely funny, it?s comforting, it?s delightfully weird in some places, and it has an extremely likable heroine and a very good Mr. Darcy. The second film Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason was not particularly good but still somewhat enjoyable, and they mostly kept to the source material (Helen Fielding?s second book). The wheels well and truly came off for the third film, Bridget Jones?s Baby, in which Bridget tried to choose between Patrick Dempsey and Colin Firth? all while she was close to 50 years old and pregnant. It was a complete mess and it should have killed the franchise. I thought it did! And then we started hearing rumors about a fourth Bridget Jones movie in the works. Well, it turns out that Renee Zellweger is still interested in milking this dead-and-buried franchise, because she?s officially signed on. It will be an adaptation of Fielding?s Mad About the Boy.
Rene Zellweger (Judy) has closed a deal to reprise the role that brought her her first Oscar nomination in Universal Pictures and Working Title?s Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, Deadline has learned.
Others set to return in the film, from director Michael Morris (To Leslie), include Hugh Grant (Wonka) and Emma Thompson (Good Luck to You, Leo Grande). Newcomers to the cast will include Chiwetel Ejiofor (Rob Peace) and Leo Woodall (The White Lotus).
Based on the third book in Fielding?s series, Mad About the Boy picks up with Bridget in her early fifties, as she navigates the challenges of modern life while juggling the responsibilities of motherhood. No word yet as to who Ejiofor and Woodall will be playing.
[From Deadline]
I?m sad to report that I have read Mad About the Boy and I think I know which characters Leo Woodall and Chiwetel Ejiofor are playing. While it will be cute to see Chiwetel as a traditional romantic lead, I wish it was not in a Bridget Jones movie! My God. Leo is definitely being cast as the much-younger man she dates for a few months, right?
Major Spoilers: if we?re going with the Bridget Jones Cinematic Universe, I would assume that Mark Darcy and Bridget get married after she gives birth to their son (at the end of Bridget Jones?s Baby) and then the fourth film will pick up using Mad About the Boy as the source material the book picks up about a year or two after Mark Darcy?s death. That?s why Colin Firth isn?t ?returning? to the franchise because Helen Fielding killed him off in the book, which is all about Bridget getting back into the dating scene (and as always, losing weight) as a widowed single mother.

Last week, Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott finally pulled the plug on their 18-year marriage. Dean and Tori have been threatening to get a divorce for probably a decade at this point, but hadnt gone through with it because neither of them had the money to do so. Tori?s been spilling some lukewarm tea about their breakup over on her podcast, misSPELLING. During last week?s episode, she revealed deets about the fight that finally broke their marriage. This week, she elaborated more, revealing that she angrily threw a loaded baked potato and stomped off into the room she shares with her kids. Tori and Dean have five children: Liam, 17, Stella, 15, Hattie, 12, Finn, 11, and Beau, seven. During the story, she dropped the tidbit that she and Dean also haven?t slept in the same bedroom in three years. And it?s not because they like their space. It?s because they didn?t like each other.
Tori Spelling is offering more insight into the state of her marriage to Dean McDermott prior to their split. On Mondays episode of Spellings misSPELLING podcast, the Beverly Hills, 90210 star finished detailing her story of the June 2023 fight between the exes.
In last weeks episode, Spelling shared the comment McDermott made that led to their split, revealing, He said, Ugh, Im so sick of this. I have been picking up Tori Spellings s**t for 18 years. And I f**king lost it.
In part 2 of the episode, Spelling talked about the aftermath of that comment, in which she threw her loaded baked potato on the ground and stormed into our bedroom.
She went on to clarify the our she was referencing.
Me and the kids because Dean and I didnt sleep together for three years, different bedrooms. His choice, she shared.
Spelling said that McDermott had previously claimed they didnt share a bed because there was a pig in there, but she denied this claim, saying a baby pig slept in their bed one night per the vets recommendation in 2017.
I was following orders. It was used to snuggling and it needed that for a few nights, she explained. But when it peed between us, he was like, The pigs leaving the bed. And I was like, Understood. And that was it. That was the only night the pig was in the bed.
The mother of five insisted, The animals and kids didnt come between us in the bed.
She added that another excuse her ex made for not sleeping in their bed with her was because she slept with the TV on.
I had the TV on for distraction to distract my life, just to zone out and be entertained, she said, later adding, I dont even sleep with the TV on anymore, isnt that ironic?
[From ET Online]
There is soooo much to unpack here. Tori has revealed before that she shares a bedroom with four of her five kids, which?okay. There is probably something to unpack there, but what I really want to talk about is Tori sleeping and cuddling WITH A PIG! That would be a deal breaker for me too! And it peed in the bed with them?! Gross. The animals and kids didnt come between us in the bed.? It kinda sounds like they did in some way, shape, or form, at least from Dean?s perspective. I did laugh at her confession that she threw the loaded baked potato, though. Is that going to be this year?s ?throwing ketchup?? I hope those two really are done with each other because it?s pretty clear that they were wrong for one another from the sordid, dramatic start.

Zendaya had so much fun on the Dune 2 promotional tour in February and March, and the tour sort of overshadowed a lot of awards season stuff too. Now, weeks later, she?s on yet another tour, this one for Challengers. You know she?s tired. I bet her stylist Law Roach is tired too. Which might explain why there?s sort of a low-energy, going-through-the-motions vibe to this. I?m not saying Zendaya looks bad or over it, but there?s just a vein of exhaustion running through this tour. Keep in mind, before the SAG-AFTRA strike, both Challengers and Dune 2 were supposed to be released last fall/winter.
Anyway, these are photos from Saturday in Paris. They did two photocalls (one indoor, one outdoor) and a premiere. The Parisian color palette was chartreuse, celadon and white, and Zendaya wore Louis Vuitton for all of her appearances. She?s the latest house ambassador for LV, although her contract doesn?t seem to be exclusive (she wore many different designers during the Dune 2 promo).
So, thoughts on all of the LV looks, plus Zendaya?s newly lightened hair? She?s been going lighter in recent weeks, but she?s pretty much blonde now. The combination of the blonde hair, the somewhat ?prim? Louis Vuitton looks and the fact that she?s promoting a tennis movie? I think they?re trying to make her look like a cute heiress who spends half the time at the tennis club. I think my favorite look is the ?pajama suit? in chartreuse those are some of the best LV pants I?ve ever seen. My least favorite look is the premiere gown?the weird ?belt? and the princessy styling, it?s a big ?eh? to me.
