Andie MacDowell, 66, is goals to me on so many levels. She was on the cusp of being one of my generations it actresses, and she could have been a bigger deal if she hustled more, but she moved to Montana to raise her kids. Ive enjoyed seeing how shes since carved out a niche for herself without chasing fame or youth. Andie walked the runway for Loreals Walk Your Worth in Paris a few weeks ago along with other luminaries like Viola Davis and Jane Fonda. She was working a silver strapless gown, but it wasnt her first option. Andie told People Magazine that she had a fitting for another gown that didnt fit properly and that she beat herself up for not fitting into it at first. The next morning she realized that she should just pick a more comfortable dress and that she had other priorities.
On Nov. 21, while attending LOral Paris Women of Worth Celebration, [Andie MacDowell], 66, opened up to PEOPLE about coming to the realization that she shouldn?t give in to expectations and the pressure she feels in Hollywood.
?I did a fitting and the dress was really tight around my waist. It looks so good, but I woke up and I just knew it was not the right thing for me to do,? she recalls. ?I wanted to wear something that was comfortable. And, of course, immediately I shamed myself for not being able to fit into this dress.?
?But thats Hollywood,? she says. ?Its this expectation, like you see in The Substance, to be something that you can no longer be and that was easier at a certain time in your life, but I cant. Im too old to starve myself for 5 lbs. nonstop. I just cant do it anymore.?
MacDowell says she doesn?t have to ?stuff? herself into clothes that don?t fit her and then beat herself up for not being able to wear it properly. She adds that every time she gets a break from Hollywood she actually feels better about her appearance.
?I used to live in Montana. When Im at home, I feel skinny,? she admits. ?Its only when I come out here that I feel like the bar is raised so high and the expectations are beyond anything that anybody can accomplish unless youre completely devoted to being skinny.?
?If that were the only thing that I thought about, I could do it, but there are other things I want to do in my life,? she continues. ?I want to learn about birds and I want to walk on the beach and I want to be smart and I want to read books. I want to work out, but I dont want that to be the only thing. Id rather have the 5 lbs. on me and wear something that fits.?

Andie went on to talk about her grandneice who struggled with anorexia at just 12 years old. She said shes doing well now and that social media really affected her. Andies story about those five pounds was so relatable to me. Im constantly trying to lose five pounds. At first it was five pounds from the pandemic and then it was five more pounds from the ensuing years. Menopause is a bitch and you really get hungry. When I give myself a break and just buy clothes that fit I feel so much more confident and better about myself. Also I loved her explanation that being thin is no longer the focus of her life because she has a ton of other things shes interested in. Exercise is just one thing that brings her joy. Now I also want to learn about birds!

| | Angelina Jolie & Zendaya picked up special awards at the Gotham Awards | | Added 32 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Here are some photos from the Gotham Awards, which were held last night in New York. This was one of the first awards shows of the season, and judging from the A-listers who came out, it seems like there?s going to be a lot of eagerness this year, a lot of people vying for footholds in the Oscar race. I?m including photos of Angelina Jolie and an LV-clad Zendaya, both of whom received special awards for their performances in Maria and Challengers respectively. Other nominees and attendees included: Nicole Kidman, Adrien Brody (with Georgina Chapman), Jessica Chastain, Elle Fanning, Colman Domingo (who won Best Actor for Sing Sing), Pamela Anderson, a Schiaparelli-clad Saoirse Ronan, and Zoe Kravitz.
The Gotham Awards went for gender-neutral categories, and like every awards show which experiments with gender-neutral categories, the cisgender men took home all of the awards. I don?t know what the answer is to ?should gender-neutral categories be the norm,? but in practice, in the real world, whenever they run that experiment, the men always win. It sucks. Anora was supposed to pick up some major awards, but they left empty-handed. A Different Man won best feature, beating out Anora, Babygirl, Challengers and Nickel Boys. Nickel Boys won breakthrough performer (Brandon Wilson) and best director. Sing Sing won two acting awards, for Colman Domingo and Clarence Maclin.

| | Taylor Swift hosted Travis Kelce & the Kelce fam in Nashville for Thanksgiving | | Added 33 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Taylor Swift has maintained a penthouse apartment in Nashville for many years, even though she seemingly spends more time in New York and LA these days. I don?t know if her parents also have a home in Nashville, but it would make sense. Well, the Swift family was in Nashville for Thanksgiving, and they played host to the Kelce family. Travis Kelce, Travis?s parents and even Jason and Kylie Kelce all came to Nashville for Thanksgiving and they were hosted by the Swifts for the holiday. Who cooked though??
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce had a family-filled Thanksgiving together. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 35, and the pop superstar, 34, celebrated the holiday together and brought along both of their families, a source confirms exclusively to PEOPLE.
According to the source, Taylor and her family ? including dad Scott and mom Andrea ? hosted the Kelces in Nashville, before Travis jetted off to prepare for the Chiefs winning game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday, Nov. 29.
Taylor and Travis had a great Thanksgiving together with their families, the source tells PEOPLE, recalling how the Karma singer was in South America for the Eras Tour around Thanksgiving weekend last year. Its the first Thanksgiving they celebrated together. Taylor and her family were excited to host the Kelces this year, the source adds. [Travis brother] Jason was there with his family and kids too. It was very festive and special.
Following the festivities, Taylor also traveled to Kansas City, where she arrived at Arrowhead Stadium with Travis mom Donna to cheer on Travis.
The news may come as a surprise to some fans, as Travis mom Donna said one week before Thanksgiving, during an appearance on the Today show, that Taylor would probably not be joining the Kelces for the holiday. I dont think so. Shes kind of busy right now. She still has her tour to do, said Donna, 72, referring to Taylors record-breaking Eras Tour, which wraps up on Dec. 8.

The unspoken thing is that Travis usually avoids traveling in the days before a home game. Even if he?s been with Taylor in New York, he comes back to Kansas City days before the game so that he can train and prepare. I guess an exception was made because it?s Thanksgiving. Plus, I?m sure Taylor lets the Kelces use her private planes, so it?s not like Travis is stressed out at the airport, trying to get a commercial flight back to Kansas City. Anyway, I?ve said that Travis is in it to win it. This is a sign that Taylor is in it to win it too. Hosting the Kelces in Nashville? The parents getting together for ?the kids.? And yeah, I?d want Jason around every holiday too.
