Glenn Close is in Ryan Murphy?s new series All?s Fair, about an all-women law firm. You know who else is in it? Kim Kardashian. I cannot wait to see their scenes together; Glenn will either raise Kim up with her or expose Kim?s lack of? let?s go with ?experience,? and either way it will be camp perfection. Anyway, All?s Fair is still filming, but Glenn was granted leave to attend the Sundance Film Festival. She doesn?t have anything premiering this year, she just wanted to be on hand to celebrate Sundance Institute executive Michelle Satter at a fundraising gala on Friday. While on the red carpet for that event, Glenn spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about a trifecta of crises leaving her struggling ?to keep my equilibrium.? They are the new administration, the LA wildfires, and AI.
?I?m very lucky to have a job. There were so many people impacted in L.A. already, and then now with the fires. I was astounded at how few jobs there are in our profession. I?m a big reader of history and unfortunately, I think not enough people in this country understand the history and what we?ve just gotten ourselves into. That?s very dangerous,? Close explained. ?On top of that is [artificial intelligence]. What is going to be truth? What is true is going to be a big question.?
Close said she?s just finished reading Yuval Noah Harari?s book Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks From the Stone Age to AI, which she found ?incredible? and ?more terrifying than anything I?ve read.? AI has also become something of a hot-button issue in Hollywood, and THR asked Close for her take.
?Depends on how it?s handled,? she said. ?I don?t want my image or my voice to be reconstructed. I mean, people need jobs. It?s a sad dilemma. Is it progress that less people will work because of it? I don?t know. I think we?re losing one thing that a place like Sundance and what Michelle [Satter] has done is so important ? stories about what it means to be a human being. We have to cling to that. We have to keep coming back and be inspired by things that teach us, that help us with our emotions to know what it means to be human and [to always] to look into somebody else?s eyes ? not a screen ? but another human being?s eyes. If we lose that, it?ll be a very slippery slope, I?m afraid.?
Asked how she keeps up the momentum or fixes her focus back on positivity, Close looked up. ?The sun comes up every day. We?re very lucky about that,? she said. ?I also am learning. I wean myself off spending a lot of time on the phone. You can fall into that Instagram hole and all of a sudden two hours, three hours have gone by and you think, what have I done with my life? It?s also really bad for your brain.?
[From THR]
I mean, of course Glenn Close is reading a tome called Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks From the Stone Age to AI. After all, this is the woman who enjoys brushing up on geography and geopolitics in her downtime! As for her comments on AI, first of all, she needs to put it down in writing that she does not want AI to build an ersatz Glenn if/when she?s no longer with us (yes, I said ?if!?). Her wishes would legally be upheld at least in California, where they passed a bill requiring consent for AI replicas of deceased artists. And then yes, her larger point about AI taking away human jobs is salient. For one thing, AI has so far proven itself to have major faulty wiring when it comes to fact checking. May I remind you of the Megaflopolis trailer ascribing fake quotes to real critics, or the Elphaba & Glinda Barbie boxes directing kids & parents to visit a pr0n site instead of the Wicked movie site? Adult supervision is still required. So which is more expensive: investing fortunes in getting this technology to operate nearly as well as a working human, or paying decent living wages to actual humans? Wait wait, don?t tell me which one the millionaire tech bros favor.

A few weeks ago, some girlfriends and I were talking about how we were the last group to have grown up for a period of time without the Internet. My son starts middle school later this year and when we were touring it, we learned that public schools in our county don?t use lockers anymore. Part of it is a safety thing (don?t get me started) but a big reason is that students apparently really don?t use textbooks anymore. Everything is done through their school-issued computer. My son was actually in kindergarten when the lockdowns happened and all students were issued laptops. Those kids are probably the last group to ever started a school year without laptops being the norm. Sometimes, I think about how much things change like that.
I bring all of this up because while the majority of people adapt and learn how to navigate new technology, there are always going to be holdouts. Try to contain your shock, but Christopher Walken is one of these types of people. While promoting season 2 of Severance, Christopher, who is 81, told The Wall Street Journal that he?s so old school that not only does he still just watch satellite TV, he?s also never used email or Twitter and doesn?t even have a cell phone.
?I don?t have technology. I only have a satellite dish on my house. So I?ve seen Severance on DVDs that they?re good enough to send me,? Walken told the outlet. ?I don?t have a cell phone. I?ve never emailed or, what do you call it, Twittered.?
His lack of technology helps him fall in line with Severance co-executive producer and director Ben Stiller?s ?no phones? rule on set. The actor and comedian, 59, shared on Mike Birbiglia?s Working It Out podcast that he enacted the rule to help ?protect that environment for the actors,? per Variety.
?Crew have to use phones sometimes to communicate, but, for me, I like no phones anywhere near the eyeshot of the actors,? Stiller said, per the outlet. ?My least favorite thing is to see a dolly grip guy hunched down while an actor is acting their brains out, and he?s scrolling or whatever. It drives me crazy.?
?You also have to be respectful of the crew,? he added. ? These people are actually working really hard, and you have to figure out how to motivate them to want to be on the team. They haven?t been with the script that you?ve been writing for five years. They just came on last week. So, it?s on you as a director to figure out a way to get everybody on board.?
Walken previously shared his lack of modern technology to watch the popular Apple TV+ series during an appearance on SiriusXM?s Andy Cohen Live on Jan. 17, alongside Stiller and castmates including Adam Scott and Patricia Arquette.
When asked if he has watched the episodes he?s in, he responded, ?Not all of them. I can?t. I don?t have the equipment. So, theyre good enough to send me DVDs.?
Host Andy Cohen followed up with, ?Oh, they do? Okay. Do you have an Apple TV+ subscription?? ? to which Walken replied, ?I dont have anything.? Cohen then noted, ?Right. You don?t. Okay. I love you for that.?
[From People via AOL]
This doesn?t surprise me at all. In fact, if this were a trivia question, Walken would be on my short list of actors who have nothing to do with technology. Still, some of his claims are wild. I totally get someone not having any of the streaming channels and I am envious of anyone who has never been on Twitter, but he doesn?t even have a cell phone? They?ve been big for over 25 years now. Walken was still in his 50s and asking for more cowbell on SNL when cell phones became widespread. That is unbelievable.
Also, if you need a chuckle today, reread Christopher?s quote about not having technology again: ?I don?t have a cell phone. I?ve never emailed or, what do you call it, Twittered.? You couldnt not read it in his voice, right? All I can hear is him saying, ?Twittered? in my head and it?s making me giggle.

I actually forgot that this happened, but here goes. Last month (an eternity ago), we learned that Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly had called it quits yet again. Apparently, over the Thanksgiving holiday, Megan found some weird/cheater stuff on his phone, and she finally decided to throw the whole man away. We also learned, around the same time, that Megan had already purchased her own home away from MGK because she couldn?t trust him to not bring over randos and (presumably) do drugs constantly. Of course, sources also said that Megan and MGK have done the break-up-and-make-up cycle a million times already and people could see it happening again. All of this is happening as Meghan is pregnant with her first child with MGK (and fourth child overall). Well, a miracle might have happened: Megan really seems done with him? There hasn?t been any back-sliding and they?re not even in communication.
Things are not amicable between Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly as she gets closer to giving birth to their baby and the lines of communication are closed. Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ? Megan and MGK are not on good terms and things are so bad they arent even speaking to each other.
Megan is due to give birth in March, but were told her relationship with MGK is so icy its unclear how involved he will be when the baby comes.
Our sources say Megan seems to be done with MGK and everyone in her orbit is happy about it they feel like she finally came to her senses by shutting him out of her life.
TMZ broke the story Megan and MGK called it quits during their Thanksgiving trip to Colorado after she found some upsetting material on his cell phone. Were told the stuff she saw was relationship ending.
Unclear what will happen with MGK when Megan goes into labor, but were told she doesnt want anything to do with him.
[From TMZ]
I really, really hope for her sake that MGK is as done with Megan as she seems to be with him, because if he isn?t? he?s about to make her life HELL once the baby comes. That kind of white boy will always hire some ?fathers rights? lawyer and MGK will use ?I want to be in the baby?s life? to insert himself into Megan?s life and try to control her. I hope Megan is prepared for that, and hopefully she has some good lawyers and evidence of MGK being a dirtbag.

| | Andie MacDowell says she gets 'reverse nepotism' from daughter Margaret Qualley | | Added 14 hours ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

I?ve been a fan of Margaret Qualley since she starred in The Leftovers. When I found out she was Andie MacDowell?s daughter, it didn?t change my opinion of her, but I definitely thought, ?Oh, she got this role because of her mom.? Since then, Margaret has been slowly making a name for herself and coming into her own as an actress. She fell onto the Swifties? radar after she married Jack Antoff in 2023 and since then, has appeared in more artsy movies. Most recently, Margaret really proved herself by going up against Demi Moore in The Substance. Well, y?all, the tables have turned for Margaret and Andie. Things have come full circle and we are starting to see our first cases of ?reverse nepotism.?
Andie MacDowell shared her own twist on the conversation around nepotism in Hollywood. The longtime actor told Jimmy Fallon on Thursday?s episode of ?The Tonight Show? that she?s experiencing ?reverse nepotism? due to the fame of her daughter, ?The Substance? star Margaret Qualley.
MacDowell, who starred in the 1993 hit ?Groundhog Day,? has become what ?they always accuse the children of,? she told Fallon.
?I?m now cool, because I?m Margaret Qualley?s mom,? she said, noting it?s a ?double whammy? because she?s also mother-in-law to Qualley?s husband, music producer and ?Bleachers? singer Jack Antonoff.
She added that she?ll find ?letters in the mailbox? from fans, ?and you know, they?re 13!?
Qualley herself has no problem acknowledging the leg up she got from having a movie star mom. The actor reassured podcast host Josh Horowitz earlier this month, ?You can call me a nepo baby.?
[From HuffPo]
This is too funny! I?m trying to think of other instances in which I became familiar with a nepo baby before I knew who their famous parent was, and the only ones I can think of off the top of my mind are Gwyneth Paltrow (Meet the Parents was my intro to Blythe Danner), Ben Stiller (Jerry was before my time), and Michael Douglas (Kirk was also before my time). I consider Margaret to be in the same nepo baby lane as Jack Quaid, Colin Hanks, and Jason Ritter. They absolutely benefited from nepotism but also are talented and well-liked enough within the industry to have forged legitimate careers beyond that. I?m also glad that Margaret is one of those nepo babies who?s grown up to be not only talented but also not a mess. I admit, I was a little worried for her when she was dating Pete Davidson and then Shia Labeouf, but if that was the most of her acting out phase, then Andie did good.
Jimmy also brings up that Andie is currently celebrating her 40th anniversary as a spokesperson for LOral. As he?s joking with her about how many times she?s said their catch phrase, ?Because I?m worth it? over the years, Andie brings something up that I thought was really poignant. She said that she used to think it was nice when they changed it up to say, ?Because you?re worth it?, but as she?s aged, she finds the first-person version of it to be more powerful, explaining, ?People tend to diminish you as you age, so it means something to me to be able to say, ?Because I?m worth it.?? I love that so much.

I got it wrong when I covered the Princess of Wales?s appearance for Holocaust Remembrance Day. I correctly ID?d Kate?s earrings, which are the Royal Collection?s ?Bahrain earrings,? one of QEII?s favorite pairs. But I thought Kate was also wearing QEII?s five-strand pearl necklace. As it turns out, not so much Kate apparently purchased this pearl necklace from a Jewish-owned vintage jeweler. As in, Kate and her people planned ahead and specifically chose a piece of jewelry with a Jewish connection for Holocaust Remembrance Day?
Kate Middleton wore a meaningful selection of jewelry to the Holocaust Memorial Day service in London, where she joined Prince William to honor the solemn occasion. On Jan. 27, internationally observed as Holocaust Memorial Day, the Princess of Wales, 43, attended a ceremony commemorating the day and marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. The event also marked her first public appearance since revealing on Jan. 14 that she is in remission from cancer ? a poignant moment made even more significant by her thoughtful sartorial choices.
During the service, Prince William, 42, and Princess Kate met with Holocaust survivors and participated in a moving tribute. Dressed in an elegant all-black ensemble, the princess subtly conveyed her support through her jewelry. She wore Queen Elizabeths Bahrain Pearl Drop Earrings, Princess Dianas tri-strand pearl bracelet and a new five-strand pearl necklace from luxury vintage jeweler Susan Caplan.
While the earrings and bracelet are cherished pieces from Kate?s royal collection, the necklace ? a creation by the Jewish-owned brand ? was a debut. Susan Caplan expressed gratitude for the princess? choice, which carried both symbolic and cultural significance on such a meaningful day.
Today marks 80 years since the Holocaust, and as a Jewish owned brand we are honored that the Princess of Wales chose to wear our necklace for today?s memorial to commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Susan Caplan team wrote on Instagram on Jan. 27, posting pictures of Princess Kate at the event.
[From People]
I?m actually slightly impressed that Kate and her team thought this out the bar is in hell, and we?re supposed to be like ?wow, she did that one very minor thing of buying jewelry,? but still, she put some thought into it. A piece of jewelry with a Jewish connection, earrings from QEII and a bracelet worn by Diana. Of course, since we?re talking about Kate, she also grabbed her Chanel purse for the appearance, which kind of dulls the significance of the necklace. It would be like showing up to the same event in head-to-toe Hugo Boss.

Aw, this is some nice news. Princess Beatrice has welcomed her second child, and it?s another girl! Last fall, Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi announced that they were expecting again, and people were genuinely happy for them. We were reminded of Beatrice?s delicate condition over the holidays, when Beatrice apparently had to change her plans last minute and avoid flying to Italy she and Edo ended up staying at Sandringham with the royal family, all while Prince Andrew and Fergie were apparently banned from Christmas in Norfolk. No one expected Beatrice to give birth this soon into the new year, but the palace is indicating that Beatrice gave birth ?several weeks prematurely.? The baby girl is very small.
Princess Beatrice has given birth to a baby girl named Athena several weeks prematurely, Buckingham Palace has said.
The royal was due to give birth in early spring and was told in December not to travel long distances.
In a statement the palace said: Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are delighted to announce the safe arrival of their daughter, Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi, born on Wednesday, 22nd January, at 12.57pm, at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London.
The baby was born weighing four pounds and five ounces.
Their Majesties The King and Queen and other members of the royal family have all been informed and are delighted with the news.
[From Sky News]
I?m so glad that mother and child are safe and in good condition. I hope Bea and Edo aren?t too stressed, and I hope Fergie is around, helping out. This goes a long way towards explaining Beatrice?s sudden reticence to fly to Italy this was probably a risky pregnancy, and I totally believe her doctors strongly advised her not to fly and to stay close to a hospital in her third trimester.
Thoughts on the baby?s name? I was not expecting ?Athena,? honestly. It?s a Greek name, and Prince Philip was technically a Greek prince. I wondered if there were any Athenas in Philip?s side of the family none of his sisters were named Athena, and his mother?s name was Alice. Hm. The ?Elizabeth Rose? is obvious enough, and I?m fine with those names as middle names. Oh, they released a photo!

Over the weekend, the Mail reported that Anna Wintour has apparently offered a Vogue cover to the Princess of Wales. I was meh on the story it sounded somewhat believable to me, and I think it sounds reasonable that Wintour has wanted Kate on an American Vogue cover for a while. I also think it?s believable that Wintour has wanted the Duchess of Sussex for an American Vogue cover too, for what it?s worth. Well, Celia Walden aka Piers Morgan?s wife has written about Kate?s big Vogue offer in the Telegraph: ?Americans adore Kate ? but she needs to play the Vogue offers right.?
The wording of a Sunday news piece ? ?Kate Middleton offered to appear on Vogue covers to showcase role as a ?global fashion icon?? ? amused not just me, but many of those commenting ?below the line?.
The Princess of Wales might be one of the only people in the world who only has to pick up the phone if she wants to be on the cover of Vogue. And it?s pretty hard to imagine Anna Wintour ? the magazine?s redoubtable editor-in-chief ? saying: ?Actually, we?re a bit booked up, but we?ll certainly bear you in mind if anyone falls through.?
The point, however, is that eight years after appearing on the cover of British Vogue to mark the magazine?s 100th anniversary, the Princess is said to have been contacted by Wintour personally and ?invited?, let?s say, to grace the global covers of Vogue.
It?s clear how much of a draw this would be ? particularly in the US. Americans have a fixation with Kate that borders on the eerie. At any one time, she will feature on the cover of half a dozen US gossip magazines, and whether it?s Uber drivers, waiters, shop assistants, manicurists or indeed casual personal acquaintances, the first thing anyone out there will now ask me is: ?How?s Kate doing?? (They all seem to think the UK is the size of a suburban cul-de-sac, and when I explain that the Princess of Wales isn?t, in fact, a close friend, faces crumple).
I?m guessing the Princess will agree to the ?offer? ? whether now or in the not-too-distant future. Wintour is said to be incredibly persuasive, no one is immune to the allure of a Vogue cover, and if she feels the time is right it could be the perfect way to herald a return to her public duties. It could also be a straightforwardly joyful experience of the kind she should be relishing, given what she?s been through.
All I would say to her ? and this is as a journalist and an interviewer who knows exactly what the line of questioning will be ? is that when it comes to her health, she should feel under no obligation to share more than she already has. Nobody has ?a duty? to share those intimate details with the world, we don?t all have to subscribe to the current ?better out than in? thinking, and I find any narrative suggesting the Princess of Wales ?owes it? to other cancer sufferers to reveal all sickeningly disingenuous. She has already done a great deal for others. She will do more. Right now, the only person she owes anything to is herself.
[From The Telegraph]
It?s funny that Walden?s mind went to the same place mine went when I read the original Mail story ?what about the interview?? While Wintour would probably love Kate on the cover, I definitely think the cover would be contingent on Kate agreeing to some kind of interview, however basic. Only Beyonce gets away with ?agreeing to magazine covers but eschewing interviews? and even Beyonce has backed down from that at times, agreeing to email interviews for various magazines. Walden gives up the game they?re terrified every time Kate opens her mouth because they have no idea what could come flying out. They can ?manage? and massage her rare public statements in the UK, where the royalists have a stranglehold on reporting around Kate. But if Kate says the wrong thing to an American magazine, it will be a global story which they cannot control.

Right after the election, this conversation started: is Prince Harry genuinely at risk of deportation during the second Trump administration? Many people shrugged off the conversation, citing the Biden-era rulings which effectively closed the case. The Heritage Foundation had been pursuing this nuisance case for nearly two years when Trump ?won? the election, and Heritage had been shut down in several different ways by judges and by Biden?s Department of Homeland Security. Heritage?s ?case? was always bullsh-t their argument was that they needed to see Harry?s visa application to check IF he lied about his drug use, and then IF he lied, then his visa COULD be revoked. They had zero evidence that Harry lied at any point, and this was all part of the larger, high-level campaign to destroy Harry?s life in America. Anyway, now mass deportations are happening in Trump?s America, and Heritage still wants to pursue this Harry situation.
A lawsuit to make Prince Harrys secret visa records public is set to have its first court hearing since Donald Trumps inauguration. The Heritage Foundation has reopened its case to have the dukes immigration papers released. The American think tank has raised questions about how he was able to gain entry to the US in 2020 with his wife Meghan having admitted in his 2023 book Spare to taking cocaine, marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms.
Heritage has made accusations Harry had either lied on his papers about his drug use or has been given special treatment by the Joe Biden administration in order to emigrate to the country. Lawyers for the think tank and Harry have now been ordered by Judge Carl J Nichols to meet at a federal court in Washington DC next Wednesday, February 5, according to a ruling seen by Newsweek.
Heritage lost a previous case in September when it brought a lawsuit against the Department for Homeland Security after a Freedom of Information request for Harrys documents to be released was rejected. In his first ruling Judge Nichols said they should remain private.
The case was brought because visa applicants must by law declare whether they have taken drugs. Failure to do so can lead to deportation, and Heritage wanted the US Government to release the records to see what Harry said about drug usage.
Trump previously suggested Harry may be deported from the US under his leadership if the Duke is found to have falsified information on his visa form even though his wife is American and his children are dual citizens. Trump was urged this week by Heritage to release Harrys immigration files. Now that the Duke of Sussex no longer has support from the Biden administration, lawyers and fellows at the Heritage Foundation are hoping the newly elected president will override the courts decision to keep the files secret.
Ill be urging the president to release Prince Harrys immigration records and the president does have that legal authority to do that, Nile Gardiner, director of Heritages Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom told the New York Post. Donald Trump is ushering in a new era of strict border control enforcement, and you know, Prince Harry should be held fully to account as he has admitted to extensive illegal drug use. My firm expectation is that action will be taken.

?Lawyers for the think tank and Harry have now been ordered by Judge Carl J Nichols to meet at a federal court in Washington DC next Wednesday, February 5.? In all of Heritage?s previous nuisance lawsuits/whatever, it was never Heritage vs. Harry?s lawyers, it was always Heritage pursuing action from DHS to release Harry?s visa records. Are they saying that DHS isn?t sending lawyers to court? What even is this bullsh-t? Heritage?s people are pretty much running the Trump administration by proxy right now, why don?t they just install someone at DHS and release Harry?s visa records themselves? It?s not like American laws or DHS regulations have any meaning anymore.
