Josh Hartnett stars in M. Night Shyamalans Trap, which comes out in August. Given the buzz and excitement from the trailer, I think it will be another big success for Shyamalan. And for Hartnett, who is sort of going through a career renaissance at the moment. The fact that he?s the lead in a buzzy summer movie is wonderful too! This is what we always wanted for him, the chance to weave in between big, important movies, indie films and popcorn-entertainment. Well, Josh is finally there. It took him several decades, but now he realizes that he can actually do all of that. He recently spoke to Variety about his career and more. Some highlights:
He was so worried that ?Pearl Harbor? would define his career but now he doesn?t care: ?I love my work and I want to put it out there and I want people to enjoy it. But like me, personally, I don?t feel the way that I did when I was younger, because I was undefined. I was 19, 20, 21 years old. So, I was still trying to figure out who I was. Something of that magnitude that everybody knew about and sort of thought of me as the character, had an effect on me that I kicked back against. It was always something that I had to contend with at that age, and I was still trying to figure out what I meant to myself and to people around me. I don?t think that could happen again at the age of 45 ? I hope I?ve got a little bit more there there.?
Working with Christopher Nolan, Raoul Peck, Guy Ritchie and M. Night Shyamalan: ?I love experimentation in film. And these guys are still at the very top of their game in experimenting in film. I?ve never been anti [mainstream films]; I just was anti-paint by numbers. I want to work with people who are, for lack of a better term, artists. I?ve always been able to do that, luckily, but some of those films were not received by the public the same way that I?d hoped, and they were small.?
The Virgin Suicides: He looks back at ?The Virgin Suicides,? noting that at first, it wasn?t a monetary success but became a classic ? ?not a cult classic, a classic,? he points out. ?My hope was for all of these films that they would be able to kind of rise to that level. Some of them are better than others, but I think all were worthy swings.?
Would he do another TV series? ?I would hesitate probably to go back into a full, multi-year series unless it?s really, really good, and it has to be able to evolve. There are worse things than something becoming successful, but if it becomes successful and it?s a single environment or the character doesn?t seem to have much room to grow or fall apart, then you?re stuck. I have ADHD. I?ll lose it.?
Why he signed on to ?Trap?: ?The script was just batsh-t crazy. I was like, ?YES!? The character is wonderful. I can?t say anything about it, because he?ll kill me. But the characters are all wonderfully complex.?
He used to push back hard on the ?heartthrob? label: ?It was never my intention to be a heartthrob?[but it was] the wrong approach to even acknowledge it. I didn?t have the presence of mind to do that because I was so young. It had an effect on me, in which I had to fight against it. I really wanted to be a serious actor. What I didn?t understand is that I was in an amazing position, working with terrific directors on terrific projects. For all intents and purposes, it didn?t matter how people viewed me in tabloids or whatever ? as long as I was working within the industry. But I was too young to really understand that, to make the differentiation.?
[From Variety]
I?m glad he?s at a place where he can acknowledge that he sort of screwed up because he was fighting against imaginary ?heartthrob? demons. The man acted as if being seen as someone with pin-up handsomeness was some kind of cross to bear, rather than an opportunity to get in those meetings and audition for those directors. Pretty privilege is real and he felt attacked by his own privilege! But it was also about his age and inexperience too he really felt like he was in the trenches because Michael Bay made him a movie star before he was ready for any of it.

Justin Timberlake was apparently arrested on Monday night for driving while intoxicated. As of Tuesday morning, he was still in jail likely sobering up but he was released/bailed out by Tuesday afternoon. He was arrested for DWI in Sag Harbor, New York. It took a minute for the tabloid sites and New York media to call their law enforcement sources, but they had an abundance of tea by Tuesday afternoon as well. Obviously, the New York Post has been leading the charge. The NYP LOVES when celebrities commit crimes in New York. According to their sources, JT refused to take a breathalyzer, and the arresting officer didn?t even recognize Justin?s washed up ass.
Justin Timberlake refused to take a breathalyzer test when police pulled him over in Sag Harbor, NY, prior to his DWI arrest early Tuesday. Sources tell Page Six that the ?Selfish? singer was at the American Hotel ?with a bunch of friends? Monday night and ?there were cops stationed outside where he was having dinner.?
After Timberlake left, we?re told the cops ?pulled out and they pulled him over for a traffic violation.?
?His friends were telling the police, ?Let him go, let him go,? one insider tells us.
Sources say the pop star took a field sobriety test but ?refused? a breathalyzer test. We?re also told that the cop who pulled Timberlake over ?was so young that he didn?t even know? who the 10-time Grammy winner was. ?He didn?t recognize him or his name,? our insider says.
A second source adds, ?Justin said under his breath, ?This is going to ruin the tour.? The cop replied, ?What tour?? Justin said, ?The world tour.?
Timberlake, 43, was taken into custody shortly after midnight and charged with one count of driving while intoxicated and two other traffic violations: not stopping at a stop sign and failure to stay in a proper lane of travel.
His attorney, prominent Hamptons lawyer Eddie Burke Jr., did not elaborate on the specifics of his client?s arrest when reached for comment.
?He was a gentleman,? the second source tells Page Six. ?He didn?t show any entitlement at all. He did refuse the tests, but that is his right.?
Ironically, the American Hotel is located directly across the street from the office of Burke Jr., who has previously repped clients such as Lizzie Grubman and Matt Lauer. The ?SexyBack? singer was arraigned and released from custody on his own recognizance Tuesday morning. His license will be suspended in New York, but we?re told he has an out-of-state license.
[From Page Six]
Out of state license? that?s what I don?t understand. Why was Justin even in Sag Harbor? I think he has a place in Manhattan (or he did at some point) and he and Jessica have a place in Colorado and maybe LA. Do they own property in the Hamptons or somewhere in Long Island? Why was out there? Another question I have clearly, if the cops were waiting outside the bar, they?re used to rowdy, drunk rich folks driving drunk out of the parking lot. Why did Justin not stop at the sign and why was he incapable of driving in the correct lane? He must have been sh-tfaced, just my guess. As for the cop failing to recognize him? lmao.
They also got a photo of Justin in handcuffs, and his mugshot was released too. Ten bucks says he announces a rehab stay by the end of the month. He should welcome it Page Six is also running a story about how ?everyone knows? that he?s had a drinking problem for years. His face tells the tale, as I said yesterday. A music insider told Page Six: ?It?s not a secret. Everyone knows. He has a real drinking problem, a lot of weed ? but a major alcohol problem, and he?s been hiding and masking it for years.? I hope this is a wakeup call. I?m being genuine he should go to rehab and try to live a sober life.

CB covered the news last Friday, when the Princess of Wales announced her plans to attend Trooping the Colour. Kensington Palace published a new photo of Kate in the woods, a visual signifier that she is literally ?not out of the woods,? health-wise. The Matt Porteous photo was widely criticized on Friday night for being yet another heavily edited pic coming out of the palace. That conversation sort of got overshadowed by Kate?s first public appearance in nearly six months, when she came out for Trooping. So? how did all of this go down behind-the-scenes? Page Six had an interesting story about why Kate made the choices she made:
Kate Middleton went so far as to rewear a dress from her closet in order to keep her return to the public eye a secret ? while making contingency plans if she felt ill on the day, sources tell Page Six. The cancer-stricken Princess of Wales was keen to join her family at King Charles? birthday celebration and Trooping the Colour parade this past Saturday. But there were only a few people kept in the loop. Kate personally called her father-in-law ? who?s also being treated for cancer ? to tell him the good news and he was ?delighted? she could attend, the king?s spokesperson told Page Six.
Well aware that her appearance would cause a commotion around the globe, 42-year-old Kate ? who had not made a public appearance since Christmas Day ? quietly called upon royal photographer Matt Porteous for a top-secret shoot at home last week. Kate penned an extremely personal message to be issued alongside her latest photo, admitting there are ?good days and bad days? and stressing that she is ?not out of the woods yet.? Dressed down in jeans, a white T-shirt, brown blazer and sneakers, the princess was captured by Porteous soaking up the lush greenery of the Windsor estate close by her home, Adelaide Cottage.
Being outside gives her strength and ?being connected to nature is something that continues to support her recovery,? a source told us. ?She enjoys spending personal time on the things that give her energy and positivity.?
When it came to Kate?s outfit for the parade, she chose to ?upcycle? a white dress she first wore on the eve of King Charles? coronation last year, with her hair swept into an updo beneath a white hat by Philip Treacy. She accessorized the outfit with her Cassandra Goad Cavolfiore pearl studs ? previously worn to Prince Louis? christening in 2018 and Wimbledon in 2023 ? and the Irish Guards Regimental brooch, nodding to her role as the regiment?s honorary colonel. The simple white and black dress by British designer Jenny Packham was updated with black trim and ribbon embellishment on the neckline, as well as a black belt. While repeating the dress made a sustainable fashion statement, it also served another purpose.
?Just by reworking what she already owns, it allowed Kate to keep this secret [of her appearance] within her very closest and most trusted team,? said Bethan Holt, Fashion Director at the UK Telegraph. Kate is still believed to be working with her longtime stylist Natasha Archer.
?We definitely know that Kate has tailors in house to help make something fit her perfectly, and they could have easily added the new belt and that bow detail at the neckline, so Jenny Packham may not have even known Kate was going to re-wear the dress,? said Holt. However, Holt added, Packham is one of Kate?s ?most trusted? designers. She pointed out that Kate has worn a custom Packham dress every time she left hospital with each one of her newborn children. ?Those are very intimate, important moments, so it?s a natural decision that Kate would turn to Jenny once again,? said Holt.
When it came to Saturday, behind the scenes, staff at both Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace worked together to ensure there would be appropriate contingencies if Kate felt unwell or unable to travel to the Horseguards Parade and step on the Buckingham Palace balcony.

Re: the Packham dress, that was one of the better upcycles I?ve seen from Kate. I thought it was a new dress, I didn?t realize she just added My Fair Waity ribbons to a Packham dress we saw just before the coronation last year. Now, do you think recycling an old dress had another purpose? Has Kate not been dress shopping in the past six months? I guess she hasn?t been shopping, because we surely would have heard about it, or heard if Natasha Archer was picking up clothes for her. So Kate sort of had to go with something already in her closet, right?
As for the Porteous photo? Christopher Bouzy was doing breakdowns of how the pic was edited and he was being attacked by British media figures for it. Which is big ?tell? that something in the milk ain?t clean about the photo.
I can't think of a good reason why someone would make edits like this. pic.twitter.com/Ft4U3Sqh13
