Back in the day, the Art of Elysium gala used to be a much bigger deal. They used to get more Young Hollywood people at the gala than the Golden Globes the following day. These days, not so much. This year?s gala was a tribute to Neil Gaiman and it was sparsely attended. Christina Hendricks was one of the biggest-name ?fashion girls? there and her corseted look was? yikes. It looks like a bad costume the shades of red don?t match and her hair & makeup are appalling.
Heidi Klum walked the carpet with her daughter Leni, who is very cute. I?m getting a Cindy Crawford-Kaia Gerber vibe, as in Heidi is trying to nepotize her daughter into the modeling industry.
Joseph Gordon Levitt barely shows up on any red carpets these days, but look! He looks great.
Patricia Arquette looks like she raided a ?70s thrift shop.
Here?s Kumail Nanjiani and his wife Emily V. Gordon. He?s maintained his chiseled look!

| | Jodie Foster on Gen Z: 'They?re really annoying, especially in the workplace' | | Added 116 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Jodie Foster is 61 years old and she?s spent more than fifty years in the industry. She?s won two Oscars and she?s raised two sons. She?s currently promoting True Detective: Night Country, where she plays an Alaska cop. People who have gotten early screeners of this True Detective season say that it?s brilliant and Jodie is great in it. She?s also promoting Nyad a little bit that?s the Netflix movie where she plays the coach of Diana Nyad. I?ve always liked Jodie and it feels like she?s more relaxed these days, less guarded and chattier in general. She recently spoke to the Guardian about True Detective, motherhood, working with so many young artists and her informal mentorship of young actors. Some highlights:
What it was like to work with so many younger people on ?True Detective?: ?Well, I?m pretty fun. I mean ? I don?t take anything seriously. I make jokes all the time. And, you know, I?m not an expert? I just know me, I don?t really know anybody else, and even as a director ? I?m not really an actor?s director, interestingly.?
Working with ?True Detective? director Issa Lopez: ?She has directed four movies, and I?ve been in so many films, and I think that part is sometimes daunting. But we bonded immediately and laughed through everything. I like it when directors tell me what they want and say things like faster, slower. I?m not interested in directors who are like? ? she puts on a whispery, luvvie-ish voice ? ??Here, let me shake you!? She might have to do that with other people, because they?re young or they?ve never acted before. And I would watch her do that with them and ? You?d better not do that with me.?
Her advice to younger people in the industry: ?They need to learn how to relax, how to not think about it so much, how to come up with something that?s theirs. I can help them find that, which is so much more fun than being, with all the pressure behind it, the protagonist of the story.?
She?s trying to mentor Bella Ramsey & other young actors: ?I do a lot of reaching out to young actresses. I?m compelled. Because it was hard growing up.? When she looks at Ramsey, who told British Vogue earlier this year that ?I?m not 100% straight?, does she feel a pang of sympathy for her younger self? ?Yes.? It was so bleak. ?But I had my mom, you know.?
She admires the way Bella Ramsey exists in the world: ?We weren?t free. Because we didn?t have freedom. And hopefully that?s what the vector of authenticity that?s happening offers ? the possibility of real freedom. We had other things that were good. And I would say: I did the best I could for my generation. I was very busy understanding where I fitted in and where I wanted to be in terms of feminism. But my lens wasn?t wide enough. I lived in an incredibly segregated world.?
For all her cheerleading of Gen Z, Foster isn?t above being irritated by them. ?They?re really annoying, especially in the workplace. They?re like, ?Nah, I?m not feeling it today, I?m gonna come in at 10.30am.? Or, like, in emails, I?ll tell them this is all grammatically incorrect, did you not check your spelling? And they?re like, ?Why would I do that, isn?t that kind of limiting???
Her two sons, who were raised by three women: ?My two don?t like sports. They like to watch movies and sit at home, and they?re really into their female friends. They?re super feminist. And there was a moment with my older one when he was in high school, when, because he was raised by two women ? three women ? it was like he was trying to figure out what it was to be a boy. And he watched television and came to the conclusion, oh, I just need to be an ahole. I understand! I need to be sh-tty to women, and act like I?m a fker. And I was like, no! That?s not what it is to be a man! That?s what our culture has been selling you for all this time.? The phase went on for six months, she says. Did she let it play out? ?Yes, and no. I was like, you won?t be talking to me like that.?
[From The Guardian]
I like this answer: ?I did the best I could for my generation.? I think that?s very true there was a time when the LGBTQ community wanted Jodie to be more public, more vocal about her sexuality and her life and she just refused. It was a generational thing but it was also just about Jodie needing to keep things a certain way to feel safe, which is partly generational and partly about her own experiences. As for what she says about Gen Z? lmao. That?s going to upset some people. She?s not wrong though, just my opinion!

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.
[From People]
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!).

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.

| | Paula Abdul is suing 'Idol' producer Nigel Lythgoe for two sexual assaults | | Added 122 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

The states of New York and California both passed one-year-only laws allowing victims/survivors of sexual assault, abuse and harassment to sue their attackers in civil court regardless of he statute of limitations on criminal prosecutions. The New York law gave space for Cassie to sue Sean Combs (and he settled quickly) and for a Jane Doe to sue Jamie Foxx for a 2015 assault. Well, Paula Abdul is now one of the most high-profile women to use California?s Sexual Abuse and Cover-Up Accountability Act. Paula has accused her former American Idol producer Nigel Lythgoe with multiple sexual assaults.
Paula Abdul alleged in a lawsuit on Friday that she was twice sexually assaulted by Nigel Lythgoe, the executive producer of ?American Idol? and ?So You Think You Can Dance.?
Abdul rose to stardom in the late 80s and built a second career as a judge of reality show competitions in the early 2000s. In the suit, she alleges that during one of the early seasons of ?American Idol,? Lythgoe sexually assaulted her in an elevator. She alleges that he shoved her against a wall, groped her breasts and genitals, and shoved his tongue down her throat. According to the suit, she tried to push him away, and as soon as the hotel door opened, she ran to her room.
Years later, Abdul was a judge on ?So You Think You Can Dance.? Lythgoe invited her to his home for dinner, and she accepted, thinking it would be a professional encounter. However, according to the suit, Lythgoe forced himself on top of her while she was sitting on his couch, attempted to kiss her, and said they would make a great ?power couple.? Again, she pushed him away and fled his home, the lawsuit states.
The suit also accuses Lythgoe of verbal harassment and bullying, and alleges that Abdul was discriminated against, and was paid less than male judges on ?American Idol.? The suit further alleges that the show would be edited in a misleading way to make her appear inept.
Additionally, Abdul alleges that she witnessed Lythgoe sexually assault one of her assistants in April 2015, pressing up against the assistant and groping her without consent.
?For years, Abdul has remained silent about the sexual assaults and harassment she experienced on account of Lythgoe due to fear of speaking out against one of the most well-known producers of television competition shows who could easily break her career as a television personality and of being ostracized and blackballed by an industry that had a pattern of protecting powerful men and silencing survivors of sexual assault and harassment,? the lawsuit states. The suit alleges that Lythgoe?s behavior was common knowledge, and cites a MADtv parody in which Lythgoe was seen harassing contestants.
According to the suit, Lythgoe called Abdul once and taunted her, saying it had been ?seven years and the statute of limitations had run.? Abdul signed non-disclosure agreements as part of her employment on both reality shows, which prevented her from disclosing confidential or derogatory information. Abdul filed the suit under California?s Sexual Abuse and Cover-Up Accountability Act, which created a one-year window to file certain sexual abuse lawsuits that would otherwise be outside the statute of limitations. The deadline to file is Dec. 31.
[From Variety]
Yeah, I believe her. I believed her before I read Lythgoe?s response, and I believe her even harder after reading his response:
Lythgoe denied the allegations in a statement Saturday. ?To say that I am shocked and saddened by the allegations made against me by Paula Abdul is a wild understatement. For more than two decades, Paula and I have interacted as dear ? and entirely platonic ? friends and colleagues. Yesterday, however, out of the blue, I learned of these claims in the press and I want to be clear: not only are they false, they are deeply offensive to me and to everything I stand for. While Paula?s history of erratic behavior is well known, I can?t pretend to understand exactly why she would file a lawsuit that she must know is untrue. But I can promise that I will fight this appalling smear with everything I have.?
[From Variety]
?Paula?s history of erratic behavior? O RLY? That?s all he?s got? ?She?s crazy, she?s behaving erratically? when she has made detailed accounts of multiple sexual assaults? Team Abdul. It would not surprise me if he treated the women ?below? him much worse as Paula notes in her lawsuit, she witnessed him grope an assistant too. This feels like it could be the tip of the iceberg.

2023 was the Year of Taylor Swift, for better or for worse. She dominated the charts, the awards, the touring schedule and the economy. She also dominated the gossip, first with the Joe Alwyn breakup, then the messy relationship with Matt Healy, but she finished the last half of the year on a high note with her relationship with Travis Kelce. Taylor and her parents spent Christmas Day at a Chiefs game which the Chiefs lost and then for New Year?s Eve, Taylor was back at Arrowhead Stadium, watching her man. The Chiefs pulled it out against the Bengals and secured the AFC West division title. At least that put a temporary pause on the sports-bro commentary about ?Taylor Swift is a distraction for the Chiefs!? Although from what I saw, the Chiefs still have some issues (but none of them are about Swift). Meanwhile, Travis and Taylor left Arrowhead together and they went and partied the night away:
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are ready for 2024! The pop superstar and the athlete, both 34, were spotted leaving Kelces New Years Eve NFL game together after the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Cincinnati Bengals with a final score of 25-17, securing their AFC West division title.
According to a photograph shared on Instagram by The Kansas City Star journalist Nick Wagner, Kelce left the game wearing a black beanie and a black and white striped sweatshirt, as the Maroon singer stood closely beside him, rocking her signature red lip.
During the afternoon game, Kelce notched 16 yards, helping lead his team to the win, as Swift watched alongside the team?s family and friends.
[From People]
That?s not it someone got footage of Taylor and Trav kissing at midnight at a party. The Swifties are also talking a lot about how comfortable Taylor seems with the Chiefs WAGs and Travis?s family. Like, we never got anything like this when she was with Joe Alwyn we assumed that Taylor spent time with Joe?s family and friends in London, but we never saw it like we see it with Travis?s people. As it turns out, Joe was always the problem. He treated Taylor like she was dirty little secret. Travis sees Taylor as a prize and he wants to show her off and be part of his group.

Some people have expressed surprise that Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are still together. They started up in the spring, by what I can tell, and their affair ruined both of their marriages. By July, Ariana had left Dalton Gomez and they would eventually settle their divorce very quietly. Ethan?s situation was more complicated, given that he had a wife and baby at home and Ariana had even tried to befriend Lilly Jay (Ethan?s wife). All of that went down this summer, but it?s been relatively quiet in recent months. Every now and then, we?ll hear about Ariana supporting Ethan in New York, and Ari is still trying to rewrite the narrative. Anyway, they?ll stay together throughout 2024, that?s my prediction. Wicked the film where they met won?t be out until November. They?ll try to stay together through the promotion. Meanwhile, People Magazine had this exclusive:
Things are getting very real for Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater. A source tells PEOPLE that things are serious between the 7 Rings singer, 30, and the Spamalot actor, 31, who have been confirmed to be dating since July.
?Ariana is serious with Ethan, they said. She loves being with him.
The insider added that while the pair go out occasionally as Grande puts the finishing touches on her upcoming album, they mostly enjoy staying in. It?s a very normal relationship.
On Saturday, the couple was pictured together for one of their first times out together.
The singer and Broadway star were photographed during a night out in New York City when a source close to Grande told PEOPLE they ate dinner with her father Ed Butera at her family?s favorite Italian restaurant before seeing Slater in Spamalot.
Grande sported an all-black with a furry bucket hat, mini skirt, and black top with furry cuffs. Meanwhile, Slater opted for a more athletic getup with a zip-up, joggers and running shoes.
They love to support each other in their work, the source said. When she?s done with work, Ariana loves going to the theater when she can.
Grande shared a carousel of photos to Instagram earlier this month, which featured one image with a Spam can ornament hanging on a wall Christmas tree made of green garland. The ornament is, of course, a shoutout to Spamalot, the 2005 Tony-winning musical adaptation of Monty Python and The Holy Grail. Slater is currently starring in a revival of the comedy on Broadway.

One of my favorite things is when one of these pop star divas dates a guy and her fanbase absolutely loathes the guy. It happened to Taylor Swift when she dated Matt Healy the Swifties panicked because the guy sucked and he was pretty racist to boot. From what I?ve seen of the Arianators online, they?re counting down the days until Ari dumps Ethan, and they?re grossed out by the fact that Ethan looks so much like her brother Frankie. All of which to say? Ari isn?t Taylor. She?s not going to dump a guy just because her fans hate him. Especially because two marriages ended to make this mess happen.
Ari was out with Ethan this week:

This is the first time I?ve realized that Rachel McAdams is doing some kind of low-key Oscar campaign. It?s like pulling teeth though, getting her to hype herself or glad-hand at industry events. She?s simply too Canadian! Rachel?s turn in Are You There God? It?s Me, Margaret has already gotten her an LA Film Critics Award for best supporting performance, and the studio thinks she?s a dark horse for an Oscar nomination for supporting too. That would be her second Oscar nom, if it happens her first was for Spotlight. Well, they got Rachel to chat with Variety in what will probably be one of the few Oscar campaign interviews she will agree to. Some highlights:
The ?Are You There God? It?s Me, Margaret? set was family-friendly: She had her five-month-old daughter and two-year-old son on set. Even her younger sister and make-up artist Kayleen had her two children, two and three months, by her side. ?We had a really amazing mom-positive set. Everyone understood me having to send breast milk down the road in a van all day long.?
Mom guilt: But McAdams is susceptible to the looming sense of ?mom guilt? that plagues many working parents, despite being ?very lucky? to have lots of time with her kids.
Whether Barbara was supposed to be a sexy mom: ?We had a lot of conversations about making our film relatable and klutzy at times. I had Judy [Blume] on one hand saying, ?I think she should be sexy. Why can?t moms be super sexy?? And on the other hand, Kelly asking me, ?Do you think you?re a super sexy mom?? And I was like, ?No, do you feel like a super sexy mom?? And she said, ?No, but we are. We just don?t feel like it.? It was finding the middle ground where we can be all these things, and there?s honesty in that.?
She doesn?t have a cameo in the new Mean Girls movie: ?Tina and I sort of dabbled with a few ideas, but it was tough to make it all work in the end. I was really down for whatever she wanted to do. I think the direction it went in will be fantastic and I cannot wait to see it.?
Why she didn?t reunite with the OG Mean Girls cast for the Walmart commercial: ?I don?t know; I guess I wasn?t that excited about doing a commercial if I?m being totally honest. A movie sounded awesome, but I?ve never done commercials, and it just didn?t feel like my bag. Also?I didn?t know that everyone was doing it. I would, of course, always love to be part of a ?Mean Girls? reunion and hang with my plastics, but yeah, I found that out later.?
[From Variety]
?I guess I wasn?t that excited about doing a commercial if I?m being totally honest? I get that. It felt like Walmart really pulled out all the stops to get the cast for a commercial and the effort probably wasn?t worth it? And some actors just don?t want to do commercials. I suspect that Rachel isn?t one of the wealthiest actresses out there, but she lives a simple, low-key life and she?s doesn?t need to collect Walmart-commercial paychecks just to make ends meet. It?s interesting that she would have been up for a cameo in the movie though I wonder why they couldn?t make it work?
