The annual Palm Springs International Film Festival officially began on Thursday. Celebrities convened in Palm Springs to pick up random awards and glad-hand with desert-dwelling Oscar voters. Seriously, the Palm Springs festival is just an event for Oscar-campaigners, which is why they schedule it at the start of the awards season. Even Cillian Murphy came out, because the studio made him fly out for the Golden Globes on Sunday. He looks like he?s being held against his will, which probably isn?t far from the truth.
I?m mostly including the fashion girls in this post, although a surprising number of potentially Oscar nominated men came out to Palm Springs as well, including Leo DiCaprio, Robert DeNiro, Robert Downey Jr, Mark Ruffalo and Willem Defoe. Sidenote: I really do think RDJ might be the frontrunner for Best Supporting Actor (for his role in Oppenheimer), but I?m also curious to see if anyone puts any money behind a late campaign for Milo Machado Graner, the kid in Anatomy of a Fall, because he was amazing.
Fashion notes: Emma Stone was predictably in Louis Vuitton, as she?s an LV brand ambassador. I?m not head over heels with this look, but it?s one of the more interesting LV ensembles for Emma. Margot Robbie wore a Barbie-inspired polka-dotted Balmain dress, which is very cute and on-theme, but I do wonder if she?s going to do Barbie-theme throughout the awards season? Carey Mulligan also wore Balmain (a terrible look, tbh) and she posed with Meryl Streep on the carpet. Lily Gladstone wore a custom Rodarte in a beautiful shade of green. She paired her dress with jewelry made by Native American designers. Taraji P. Henson wore Alexandre Vauthier another great green, but the deep-V is not flattering (her girls look lopsided!). Billie Eilish wore a Gucci scarf and carried a Playboy purse, yuck. Last thing: I love that Da?Vine Joy Randolph is getting couture for all of her events.

There has been some really fun casting gossip to come out about Barbie. For instance, John Cena landed his cameo as Mermaid Ken because he just so happened to be filming a different movie at the same studio as Barbie and when he ran into Margot Robbie at a restaurant, she asked him if he wanted to come play on set for a day. We found out that Dan Levy, Bowen Yang, Ben Platt, and Matt Bomer all had to turn down roles as Ken while Jonathan Groff reluctantly passed on Allan. We also learned that Gerwig was disappointed that Timothe Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan were both unavailable to make ?speciality cameos.? But one really fun bit of casting that we hadn?t heard the story behind until now was that of America Ferrera?s husband, Ryan Piers Williams. Williams plays the husband of Ferrera?s character, Gloria. He makes a couple of brief appearances as a part of a movielong joke about him being too busy practicing Spanish via Duolingo to notice that Gloria and their daughter Sasha have disappeared into Barbie Land. Turns out, this was merely a very coincidental case of art imitating life.
We didnt tell anybody, any of our friends or family, Ferrera, 39, says of her husbands cheeky cameo in this weeks issue of PEOPLE. And it all started with an early call she had with Barbie director and co-screenwriter Greta Gerwig.
It came about because on my first zoom with Greta. I was telling her all my favorite parts of the script and all the parts that made me laugh out loud, Ferrera recalls. And I said, Oh my God, I laughed so hard when you cut to the dad doing his Spanish lessons, because my husband was literally in the other room doing his Spanish lessons.
Ferrera continues: Right away she was like, Oh my God, does he want to play your husband? And I was like, I dont know, youll have to ask him. Fast forward to when they were closer to the shoot, Gerwig hadnt forgotten about the idea. When it came time, she was like, Remember when I asked you if your husband would play your husband? And he said yes, says Ferrera. So it was really fun and it did, it made it a family affair and it was great.

I freaking love this little tidbit! It?s a really funny coincidence. I?m glad Greta saw the humor in it as well and ended up casting Williams because this background info makes the husband/dad character all the more fun. America and Ryan both ended up moving to the UK with their children while Barbie was being filmed, which makes sense since they?re both so young (currently ages five and three) and because the production reportedly had strict Covid rules that required everyone in the cast and crew to live in the UK during the three months of filming. I?m really glad America shared this story because now it will forever be a part of Barbie movie lore.

Every time I read about Lucy Hale she comes across as curious, independent, and chill. I loved her preaching the merits of solo travel last summer, something I indulge in and thoroughly recommend myself. I hope she finds her way to a project that will give her career a jolt. Not that she hasn?t been working steadily since Pretty Little Liars ended in 2017, but nothing has been as visible for her since that show. Going by her own comments lately, it sounds like she?s in a settled, open mindset after putting in some dedicated self-work. Lucy rang in the New Year in a fabulous set of pajamas and by marking two years of sobriety. Bravo, Lucy!
?This continues to be the greatest gift I?ve given myself,? she captioned her Instagram post Tuesday.
?I remain so grateful for another year of growth, growing pains, lessons, joys, and self-realizations.?
Hale said the ?interactions, conversations, and moments of vulnerability? she?s shared with people since quitting drinking has given her ?so much meaning.?
?Those experiences have been my favorite takeaway from this last year,? she continued. ?To every person I have connected with?thank you from the bottom of my heart.?
Hale, who has been open about her past ?self-destructive? battle with alcoholism, addressed fans who may be having battles of their own.
?Lastly, if you are struggling please know you are not alone and that you do not have to trek this path alone,? she wrote.
?There is no right or wrong way to heal and it is deeply personal and unique to each of us. My only advice is to remain open hearted, curious, and to find the people who see and support you. It does get better. Take it moment by moment.?
?I?ve been working on getting sober since I was 20,? Hale said in Feb. 2023 during an appearance on ?The Diary of a CEO? podcast with Steven Barlett. ?I?m 33, it takes time. It took patience with myself.?
?I can show up exactly who I am and share my story, and to actually be able to talk about this is so freeing because it?s not chaining me down anymore,? she went on.
?It takes the power away from it. I can be Lucy, which is not always cute at times. It?s dark and disgusting and scary and that?s what makes us all complex, beautiful human beings, is we all have got this shadow self.?
[From Page Six]
Oof, her comments on it taking time and patience really resonated with me. I?m not a drinker, but I am an eater. It?s overwhelming whenever I think of the total amount of weight I want to lose, and that just makes it harder for me to get started and to stick with it. And I say that as someone who did lose a lot of weight when I was younger at a very steady pace over a period of a couple years. I just, well, managed to find the weight I?d lost! So I salute Lucy in her victory of two years of sobriety ? she should absolutely celebrate it and be proud of herself. Sobriety, like all aspects of health and wellness, isn?t something that?s achieved, it has to be perpetually maintained. Lucy seems to have found peace with the work being ever-present. I?d say that deserves splurging $137 on feather-cuffed silk pajamas (and that?s the sale price!).

| | Kelly Clarkson: 'I dropped weight because I?ve been listening to my doctor' | | Added 317 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

When Kelly Clarkson?s talk show came back on air last fall, suddenly her weight loss was very noticeable. Going through the photos of Kelly throughout 2023, it did seem like she was losing weight pretty consistently throughout the year, then it was like ?bam!!? in October/November. She lost a lot of weight from her face, but she?s really slimmed down all over. Check out this clip from her show from two weeks ago:
So, inevitably, there?s a conversation about whether or not Kelly is taking Ozempic or one of the other weight-loss/diabetes drugs. It?s no one?s business, of course, and Kelly doesn?t have the same kind of tortured tell-all history as someone like Oprah, whose weight struggles were always part of her celebrity brand. Kelly is just Kelly she doesn?t owe us an explanation. Which is good, because she?s not admitting anything other ?following my doctor?s advice.?
Kelly Clarkson is building a new life ? and a new look ? in the big city. As a single mom to daughter River Rose, 9, and son Remington Alexander, 7, Clarkson, 41, now calls New York City home. ?I was very unhappy in L.A. and had been for several years. I needed a fresh start,? she tells PEOPLE in this week?s cover story.
Relocating her hit talk show from L.A. to N.Y.C., we told NBC, ?I?m not trying to sound ungrateful, I just can?t stay here anymore for my mental health; for me and my kids.? They weren?t doing well either. For the past few years, I?d just been showing up and smiling and doing what I?m supposed to do, but you can only compartmentalize so long until you break.?
Typical non-working days now revolve around exploring the city with her kids (whom she shares with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, 47). ?We go walk the dogs a few times at the park. Well go for ice cream because my daughter will wear me down. Well go make slime and we go to the museum,? she says.
Clarkson credits their on-the-go activities for helping her get in shape. ?Walking in the city is quite the workout,? she says. ?And I?m really into infrared saunas right now. And I just got a cold plunge because everybody wore me down.?
As for her diet, ?I eat a healthy mix. I dropped weight because I?ve been listening to my doctor ? a couple years I didn?t. And 90 percent of the time I?m really good at it because a protein diet is good for me anyway. I?m a Texas girl, so I like meat ? sorry, vegetarians in the world!?
[From People]
It seems reasonable that Kelly simply lost weight gradually over the course of a year by walking more, going for a more protein-heavy diet and taking away some of her personal stress. Do you believe that?s all she?s done? Eh. But again, she doesn?t owe us an explanation. She?s not lying, she?s just being purposefully vague.
