I think Jessica Lowndes was a TV star at one point, but now shes working on her social media game and its going strong. I wonder how many hours a day her and her friends actually put into this. Her schedule must be grueling. Poor girl should take a vacation. []

I shouldn?t be surprised that in the year 2019, Hollywood is still giving awards and major nominations to extremely problematic films. Green Book was supposed to be the kind of film that Hollywood loves: a historical, somewhat biographical film centered on a childlike understanding on racism and race relations in the early 1960s. I thought that when Viggo Mortensen bungled the promotion so badly, that would be the end of the Oscar campaign. But no apparently, Viggo saying the n-word wasn?t a dealbreaker for the National Board of Review, the Hollywood Foreign Press or the SAGs, all of whom gave awards or nominations to Green Book, Viggo and/or Mahershala Ali.
I saw Green Book over the holidays, because I had an aha-moment that Hollywood really is that dumb, and of course they would give a lot of awards to it. It is, to me, this year?s Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, in that it says really stupid sh-t about race and it?s utterly problematic. Add to that, the writer and director of Green Book had no problem using Don Shirley?s real name and life for their story about how a white racist dude is hero for being friendly with a famous jazz pianist. Don Shirley?s family took issue with the film?s portrayal of Shirley, and they were quite vocal about it in November and December. No one from the film said much about it then. But Viggo, Mahershala and director Peter Farrelly were in Palm Springs for the film festival, and woo, boy, did they have some sh-t to say.
?Green Book? star Viggo Mortensen has spoken out in defense of the film after family members of Dr. Don Shirley criticized its portrayal of the classical pianist.
?[Writer] Nick Vallelonga has shown admirable restraint in the face of some accusations and some claims ? including from a couple of family members ? that have been unjustified, uncorroborated and basically unfair, that have been countered by other people who knew Doc Shirley well,? Mortenson told Variety?s Marc Malkin at the Palm Springs Film Festival awards gala Thursday. ?There is evidence that there was not the connection that [the family members] claimed there was with him, and perhaps there?s some resentment.?
Previously, Dr. Shirley?s nephew, Edwin Shirley III, and brother, Maurice Shirley openly criticized the film in an interview with Shadow And Act, calling its portrayal of Dr. Don Shirley a ?Symphony of Lies.? Additionally, the family members questioned the relationship between the film?s two main characters Tony Lip (Mortensen) and Dr. Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali), calling it ?an employer-employee relationship.?
On the carpet, director Peter Farrelly also defended the film, pointing to the importance of Dr. Don Shirley?s friends in the creation of the film.
?I?m very disappointed by that. I wish they were, and they have a right to their opinion, but when we went down that road, we looked into the heirs of Don Shirley, and unfortunately it wasn?t the family. The heirs were friends,? Farrelly told Variety. ?When we found out about the family, we tried to embrace them, and they?re not having it right now, and it?s very disappointing.?
?I don?t think it would have changed the movie at all,? Farrelly continued, ?This is a movie about a two month period in these men?s lives. It?s not about him and his family. It really isn?t.?

What struck me about the film is that it would have worked so much better if they had just made Mahershala Ali play a fictionalized jazz pianist loosely based on Don Shirley I think the trouble was that this is Don Shirley?s first portrayal in a Hollywood film, and it?s in a supporting role to the white, racist hero?s character arc. If they wanted to make a movie about how a white dude is redeemed by his friendship with a jazz musician, just fictionalize the story and don?t use real names. But yeah, these comments from Viggo and Peter Farrelly are NOT GOOD. They?re basically talking over Don Shirley?s relatives to say that they, the white guys, have a better understanding of Don Shirley?s life. SMH.

In the past, I?ve tried to feel something, anything for Jake Gyllenhaal. He?s an attractive guy with soulful eyes and a great body. I think he?s a pretty good actor too. But I just feel nothing for him I?m not attracted to him, I don?t particularly care about him on-screen, and gossip about him is always pretty dull too. For years now, Jake has really tried to limit the personal gossip about his romantic life we?ll hear some rumors every so often about him having a girlfriend here or there, but nothing seems to stick. I don?t know where this rumor fits in: Jake, 38, is dating a 22-year-old model.
Jake Gyllenhaal is currently dating model Jeanne Cadieu, Us Weekly can confirm.
?Jeanne is very mature for her age. She?s quirky, smart and loves history, reading; she?s a really great and well-rounded person,? a source tells Us Weekly exclusively. ?She and Jake really took things slow, but are now pretty serious.?
The Spider-Man: Far From Home actor, 38, and Cadieu, 22, are doing their best to keep their relationship under wraps. Neither of them follow each other on social media, despite Gyllenhaal joining Instagram on December 5. Though the pair ? who share a 16-year age difference ? are social media shy, they have no problem taking their romance international as they jet across the world. Over the past summer, they were spotted hanging out in London in July and Greece in August. While in Paris, Cadieu shared a telling quote alongside a photo Opens a New Window. of the Eiffel Tower in July that read, ?My own brokenness. my broken was attracted to your broken, maybe that?s why I allowed you to break me.?
[From Us Weekly]
Is it possible that Jake is a lot like Leo DiCaprio, in that he just finds it easier and less complicated to date 21 or 22 year old models for 6-10 months at a time? If so, Jake is doing it better than Leo, because Jake doesn?t have Leo?s skeevy ?girlfriend experience? reputation. Jake has been able to fly under the radar with almost all of his relationships post-Taylor Swift. Maybe that?s because these relationships aren?t really that serious. But if they are serious, they?re just as friggin? cliched as Leo?s saying your 22-year-old model girlfriend is ?mature for her age? and ?quirky and smart? is basically part of The Cool Girl Lyfe now. Next you?ll say that ?she?s one of the guys? and ?she gets along with all of Jake?s dude friends.?
Here?s an Instagram of Jeanne. She?s giving me Alicia Vikander vibes.

The Palm Springs International Film Festival kicked off last night with its annual star-studded gala. I don?t really take the PSIFF that seriously they?ve basically attached themselves to the Golden Globes, and they hand out awards like candy. That being said, organizers are smart they know people will show up because no one minds a day or two in Palm Springs, and most people are in LA for the Globes and the Oscar season anyway. So this gala was basically just a teaser for Sunday?s Globes, and I?m fine with that. Emma Stone was probably one of the biggest names at the gala she wore this terrible ensemble by Louis Vuitton. To be fair, this feels very ?Palm Springs? to me.
Regina King in Valentino. I love her, and I want her to kill it during the awards season, but I?m not sure if this dress gets it done.
Emily Blunt in Roland Mouret. The dress itself is fine, but something has been throwing off her look for months now. I think it?s her hair.
Hey Timothee! Fifty Shades of Chalamet.
John David Washington in Gucci. Someone told him vertical stripes would make him look taller!
Here?s Viggo Mortensen. Did I tell you how much I disliked Green Book? So dumb.
Rami Malek is waging a very effective undercover Oscar campaign, btw.
Melissa McCarthy in Daneh, with her costar Richard E. Grant.
Mahershala Ali, looking beautiful.
