Time Magazine has an excellent article about one of the most anticipated films of 2017, Wonder Woman ? you can read the full piece here. It works as a primer on the history of WW in the comics, as well as a primer on Wonder Woman?s history of controversy. WW always got sh-t for being pro-feminism, for being a superheroine for little girls, for looking like a sexy pin-up, and for daring to be glamorous AND strong. The most recent controversy for Wonder Woman saw her getting fired from her United Nations special ambassador position because she was deemed too sexy to stand up for exploited girls and women. In this Time piece, Gal Gadot speaks directly about the UN debacle and more. Some highlights:
Gadot on the UN firing Wonder Woman: ?There are so many horrible things that are going on in the world, and this is what you?re protesting, seriously? When people argue that Wonder Woman should ?cover up,? I don?t quite get it. They say, ?If she?s smart and strong, she can?t also be sexy.? That?s not fair. Why can?t she be all of the above??
Filming with a bunch of ladies in Italy: ?It was like a kibbutz, all of us living in little bungalows, beautiful and green with no cars. We had all these women in armor fighting on the beach, and meanwhile all the men?husbands and boyfriends?are walking around with strollers and taking care of the kids.?
Gadot didn?t want Wonder Woman to be bossy: ?We knew it was tricky. We wanted to find the balance between portraying her as confident and strong and feminine and warm. I didn?t want her to be a ball buster. I didn?t want her to be bossy. You can be powerful and also loving.?
Even though she served in the Israeli military, she?s a pacifist: ?I know it sounds cheesy, but I wish we didn?t have to have an army at all.?
Wonder Woman and feminism: ?I think people take it the wrong way when I say I?m a feminist. Feminism is not about burning bras and hating men. It?s about gender equality. Whoever is not a feminist is a chauvinist? We need to educate boys, show boys strong women in powerful positions. It?s all about expanding the possibilities of what women can be. I know I couldn?t do this without my husband.?
The body criticism she received: ?Did you see the feedback I got from the fans after they cast me for this role? It was all about my breasts and bottom literally being too small.?
[From Time Magazine]
I agree with her about Wonder Woman being strong, powerful, smart AND sexy, and that it?s absolutely ridiculous for WW to be fired from the UN just because she looks like a pin-up. Here?s what bugs me about what Gal says though: ?I didn?t want her to be a ball buster. I didn?t want her to be bossy.? This is a trap. This is the trap that Hollywood falls into time after time. Only women are called ?bossy.? Only women are called ?ballbusters.? Men who are strong and take-charge just get called superheroes and bosses. Only women and only female characters have to pass some kind of unwritten likeability/warmth/femininity test. What if Wonder Woman was ?bossy?? What if she didn?t give a sh-t about busting everyone?s balls? Why would that be a problem?

As we learned earlier this week, Margot Robbie slipped away to Australia (her home country) and quietly married her long-time boyfriend Tom Ackerley. In the first reports of the wedding, it sounded super-low-key, and I thought they had gotten away with just a simple beach wedding with only a handful of friends and family. As the reporting on the wedding grew, I realized that Tom and Margot actually did plan a real wedding, with bachelor parties and a van full of friends and a wedding dress and everything. Here?s a shot of Margot in her wedding gown:

Lea Michele did a brief interview with People Magazine about one of her favorite topics, diet and exercise. If there’s one thing I like about Lea, it’s the fact that she has high self esteem and she’ll tell you about it. She’s not faux humble or trying to act like she’s not hot sh*t. Lea was asked by People for her motivation for working out and instead of saying she loves it or it’s fun she said she does it so she can eat whatever she wants, which I guess is what works for her. She thinks of her favorite restaurant and getting a nice meal afterwards.
On what she tells herself to stay motivated to workout
?Knowing that I can eat whatever I want afterward always makes me feel good!? she tells PEOPLE at the AeriREAL pop-up shop in New York on Thursday. ?I need a goal at the end of anything that I do.?
When pushing through a workout, Michele reminds herself that ?at the end, there?s this great place that I?m going to get the most delicious salad or sushi!?
In addition to post-workout meal motivation, she also relies on her pals: ?I work out with friends often and I hate bailing on my friends,? she says. ?If I make a plan, I don?t like to cancel it, so I always work out with a buddy and it helps me to be accountable,? adding, ?You just feel so good after you work out.?
She complements her fitness routine with a healthy diet.
?I just did vegan for the past four weeks,? she shares. ?And I did an amazing cleanse, the Beaming cleanse. That?s my new favorite.?

Did anyone else catch that little plug at the end for a specific brand of cleanses? Here’s another celebrity who is touting cleanses, probably as some kind of endorsement deal. That’s a shame because we don’t need to “cleanse” our bodies to lose weight. As for what she said about working out – Shape points out that working out to “earn” food can be a symptom of exercise bulimia. I don’t know if that’s something Lea should be concerned about or if she just was trying to come up with an answer on the fly, but again she doesn’t seem to have a problem with being candid with the press. I like what she said about how it makes you feel good, and personally I work out because I enjoy it. It’s intrinsically motivating, to use a fancy word, and I consider it like a treat for myself. Plus I do workouts which are fun for me. I don’t get it when people say they hate working out. If you don’t like what you’re doing as exercise, try to find something you enjoy. There are so many options you can do from home too.
New workout obsession! @bodybysimone ?? with this babe @caraasantana ??
