Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck attended the 'This Is Me' Now: A Love Story' premiere
As many know, I have been a longtime supporter, promoter and enjoyer of all things Bennifer Redux. I rooted for them to get back together and I was beyond pleased when it all came together in 2021. In J.Lo?s mind, Ben Affleck was the one who got away. In Ben?s mind, he had a lot of regrets about how he cracked under the bright hot spotlight. They came back together when they were older and wiser. They seemed committed to not making the same mistakes as the first time around. They gave less of a fk about what people said about them. The culture changed too what was widely mocked in 2003 is celebrated in 2024. So, that?s where I was a longtime Bennifer Defender. I believed in them and I hoped that Ben wouldn?t fk it up. Guess what? Jennifer is the one fking it up.

These are photos from last night?s premiere of This Is Me? Now: A Love Story. That is the ?musical film? Jennifer produced alongside her new album of the same name. In her Variety cover story this week, Jennifer makes it clear that no one believed in this musical film, to the point where she had to self-finance to the tune of $20 million. Not only that, many of J.Lo?s longtime friends and allies were like ?girl, please don?t do this, this is absolutely bonkers and way too much.? Even Khloe Kardashian refused to take part in the musical. Ben appears in the musical, and the whole thing is about how it took her nearly 20 years to get back to him. Not only that, she did a documentary about their love!!

All of which to say, at the premiere, Ben seemed to be recreating some of the 2002-03 photos where he appeared trapped and looking for the exit ramp. Jennifer wore Zuhair Murad I don?t like this, but whatever, it?s not offensive. I really have a pit in my stomach about everything else though. I mean, maybe the reaction will be ?this is so camp, we love it.? But good lord, I wish J.Lo could just BE happily married and not have to make a musical film and a documentary about her fourth marriage.

Jennifer Lopez's Variety profile reveals a woman who has truly lost the plot

Jennifer Lopez's Variety profile reveals a woman who has truly lost the plot
The Friday before Ayo Edebiri hosted Saturday Night Live, with Jennifer Lopez as musical guest, TMZ unearthed a 2020 podcast interview from Ayo. Ayo appeared on the Scam Goddess pod and named Jennifer?s singing career as one of her favorite ?scams.? When I covered the issue, I thought that Ayo likely spoke to J.Lo directly at SNL. Jennifer confirms that?s exactly what happened in a bonkers new Variety cover story. Jen spoke to Variety about her three new projects: the album This Is Me? Now; the musical film This Is Me? Now: A Love Story; and a documentary called The Greatest Love Story Never Told. In case you didn?t realize it, J.Lo has well and truly lost the plot. We were so worried that Ben Affleck was going to fk up this marriage, but it?s Jennifer. She?s the one going way overboard in an attempt to celebrate her love for her fourth husband. Even Jane Fonda tried to talk her out of it, as did J.Lo?s longtime producing partner. Jennifer even put $20 million of her own money into financing these disasters. Some highlights from Variety:

Bennifer 1.0: ?Our relationship crumbled under the weight of the pressure. We lost a sense of ourselves, and we needed to separate because we didn?t know how to survive it. I had to figure myself out, and he had to figure himself out.? The first time Lopez was in love with Affleck, the crush of cameras took him away from her, leading her into multiple baffling relationships. This time, Lopez is turning the tables and seems intent on sharing every shred of their love while Affleck grudgingly follows along. In the documentary, Affleck says, ?Things that are private I always felt are sacred and special because, in part, they?re private.? He then delivers an understatement: ?So this was something of an adjustment for me.?

The musical film features a Zodiac Love Council: ?Everybody thought I was crazy,? she says with a loud laugh. ?And by the way, I thought I was crazy.? Joining Jane Fonda and Trevor Noah in a partly animated musical journey through many of the songs on ?This Is Me ? Now? are Post Malone, Sofia Vergara, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Keke Palmer and a few other famous randos. They?re all on that Zodiac love council examining Lopez?s romantic foibles. There is a special appearance by guru to the stars Sadhguru, which, according to the documentary, added $200,000 to the film?s budget. Affleck plays a wizened TV commentator.

Even Khloe Kardashian wanted no part of this disaster: Khlo Kardashian was among many Hollywood types who declined to appear in the film despite Lopez?s requests. The irony that an icon from the most photographed family didn?t want to appear in her film was not lost on Lopez, who looks downcast in the documentary. ?People are scared to put themselves out there,? she says on camera. ?I get it. It took me a long time. I?m scared. But I don?t act like I?m scared ? that?s the secret to my whole fking career.?

She needs to do all of this to start the next chapter?? ?I?ve been on this journey, and I?ve been trying to figure it out,? she says about her chronic quest for enduring love. ?Now I feel like because Ben and I have rediscovered each other ? and now that we?re married ? I have something to offer. This is the defining piece of work that?s going to close that chapter so I can move on to the next part of my life.?

She thinks the iconic ?Jenny From the Block? video was a mistake. ??Jenny From the Block? should have been me back in the Bronx kind of walking around the neighborhood. That?s what that video should have been.? Lawrence, she says, convinced her to ask Affleck to be in the video. ?We were so ourselves. And we never thought that people would take offense or be angry at us for kind of living out loud and making a cool video. We were so naive?.I don?t regret it. Even though it wound up turning out ugly for us in the media, it was very defining for me in my musical trajectory. Some very beautiful, iconic images came out of that video. It?s the one thing, no matter where I go people still go, ?Hey, there?s Jenny from the block.??

On Ayo Edebiri?s scam comments: ?She was mortified and very sweet,? says Lopez about talking to Edebiri backstage afterward. ?She came to my dressing room and apologized with tears in her eyes, saying how terrible it was that she had said those things. She felt really badly and loved my performance because we had just done my soundcheck and she actually got to hear me perform. She was just like, ?I?m so fking sorry, it was so awful of me.?? Lopez shrugs. ?It?s funny. I?ve heard similar things said about me throughout my career, so it really didn?t affect me.?

[From Variety]

The Ayo story I mean, Jennifer was really making sure that everyone knows that Ayo was tearful and apologetic, which is a big choice. But I was on the side of ?Ayo should privately apologize? anyway regardless of your thoughts about J.Lo?s music career, it was a regrettable move for Ayo to trash someone famous, someone she might meet and work with some day. As Tina Fey said to Bowen Yang, ?Learn from my mistakes, learn from Ayo. Podcasts are forever. Authenticity is dangerous and expensive.? Talk about celebrities like they?re your future coworkers. Ayo learned that lesson.

As for Jennifer?s whole three-project mess these days? as Variety makes abundantly clear, absolutely no one in Jennifer?s life wanted any part of this. I think she could have gotten away with an album, for sure, and maybe spent some money making some fun music videos. But the musical film PLUS a documentary in which she?s dragging Ben around on camera? Come on. Jane Fonda was right this is way too much.

Margot Robbie wore a custom Chanel suit to the Oscar luncheon: super-cute?
Here are some photos from Monday?s Oscar luncheon, always one of the nicest events on the awards-season calendar. There?s no real dress code other than ?look nice for this year?s class photo? and you get a nice lunch. There?s always a lot of media involved too. Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig both showed up, because they were nominated as producer and screenwriter, not lead actress and director. Margot wore a custom Chanel look which I don?t really like, but she?s still doing her Barbie-dressing and that?s cool. Greta looked terrible the black socks with the white pumps, I?m dying!!! WTF.

I?m including pics of Carey Mulligan (in a great black dress), Robert Downey Jr. (wearing lifts and snazzy pants), Emily Blunt (I love her ensemble but not her face work), Paul Giamatti, Ryan Gosling, Jeffrey Wright, Emma Stone (I?m sure her suit is Louis Vuitton), America Ferrera, Colman Domingo (easily the best-dressed man of the awards season) and Lily Gladstone. You can see the ?class photo? here at People Mag.

Dakota Johnson wore Gucci to the 'Madame Web' LA premiere: eh or cute'
Here are some photos from the LA premiere of Madame Web. I?ve been waiting to see if they would do any big American premieres, and I guess this is all we?re getting, especially since the film comes out tomorrow. Don?t ask me to explain the structure or backstory of these characters, all I know is that Dakota Johnson plays Madame Web, a paramedic-turned-psychic crime fighter. Sydney Sweeney, Celeste OConnor and Isabela Merced play her friends/helpers and I think they have some special skills too. Sydney took this role just before she really blew up, and I kind of wonder if she regrets not holding out for something bigger from Marvel.

Fashion-wise, these ladies are MESSY. Dakota is repping her Gucci contract and this is not a serve. I get that she wanted something ?webbed? but I think she should have insisted that Gucci fully line the dress and not just give her a thonged bodysuit. Sydney?s Oscar de la Renta gown is much more suitable and spider-webby. Celeste O?Connor wore Gert-Johan Coetzee and Isabela Merced wore Versace. Bonus photo of Emma Roberts with very bad hair.

Emily Blunt was picking up dog poop when she got her Oscar nomination

Emily Blunt was picking up dog poop when she got her Oscar nomination
As soon as the Oscar nominations came out, the PR machine behind Oppenheimer made sure leading man and newly-minted Best Actor nominee Cillian Murphy spoke to the press about what he was doing and how he was feeling when he got the good news. He was in Ireland enjoying his mother?s sponge cake, and the unsaid but apparent emotion he was feeling was dread at having to do more of the non-acting part of his job. Now a couple weeks later, his costar Emily Blunt is sharing her story. Talking to Josh Horowitz in New York this week, Emily deployed every ounce of Englishness she has as she described her whereabouts when she learned she?d gotten the first Oscar nomination of her career:

While [Emily Blunt] is ecstatic over her [Oscar] nod, she was in kind of a stinky position when she heard of the nomination.

The ?Devil Wears Prada? actress revealed that she was actually scooping up her dog?s poop when she was notified about the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award nomination last month.

?It?s all quite scary, the anticipation of it, and I think you just try not to listen to buzz because buzz can be built on sand sometimes,? she said during a conversation with Josh Horowitz at 92NY on Tuesday.

?And so when it did happen, and when it happened in such a far-reaching way for all of us in the movie and every crew member, it was magical,? Blunt continued.

The film earned a whopping 13 nominations in total, including for Best Picture.

?I did have a brief cry in the middle of Brooklyn, brief weep directly after picking up my dog?s poop,? Blunt went on. ?I did pick up her poop and then I heard that I got nominated, so it was perfect.?

The British actress revealed that husband John Krasinski also ?had a really good cry as well, after helping me with the poop.?

?I think he went and put it in the trash, and then we both cried,? she recalled.

[From NY Post]

?I did pick up her poop and then I heard that I got nominated, so it was perfect.? I love it. For the rest of her life Emily can enjoy a sense memory connection between her Academy Award nomination and dog sh*t. Imagine it: she could be sitting in the Dolby Theatre on March 10, dazzling in her designer gown, and all of a sudden she picks up wafts of poop odor. And it works the other way around too! Every time she bends down to collect a steaming pile of her pup?s poop, she?ll be reminded, ?I?m an Oscar nominee.? All that being said, if her hubby John Krasinski was with her and cried with her as she says? then why didn?t he pick up the poop for her?! They knew a call was coming from a publicist whether the news was good or bad, he could have assumed the morning?s sh*t duties. Next red carpet they do together, the lip readers might want to check if it?s Emily this time talking about wanting to divorce John, just sayin?.

Dakota Johnson: Guest-starring on 'The Office' was 'the worst time of my life'

Dakota Johnson: Guest-starring on 'The Office' was 'the worst time of my life'
I missed posting these photos from last weekend?s Brazilian premiere of Madame Web. Dakota Johnson apparently flew down solo to do a premiere event in Rio. She wore a custom ?spider web? dress from Annie?s Ibiza, and the craftsmanship of the dress is very pretty. That being said, I mean? Zendaya did it better when she was promoting Spider-Man, all of those years ago.

Anyway, Dakota is obviously all over the news and gossip for her Madame Web promotion. She?s talking about how people shouldn?t call her a nepo baby! She?s talking about how she doesn?t understand the one meme from the film, the ?he was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders right before she died? line. She?s also talking about one of her rare TV roles, when she appeared in The Office?s finale.

Dakota Johnson hilariously reminisced with Seth Meyers on ?Late Night? about their appearances on the ?The Office? series finale, which aired on NBC in May 2013. Johnson, who was still years out at the time from her breakthrough in the ?Fifty Shades? franchise, appeared as a new accountant named Dakota. Meyers, meanwhile, was seen on a television doing a fictional version of ?Weekend Update? from ?Saturday Night Live.? Johnson was a big fan of ?The Office,? so she jumped at the chance to be a guest star on the last episode.

?That was honestly the worst time of my life,? Johnson quipped. ?They were like, ?Do you want to be in the series finale?? And I was like, ?Of course,? thinking that I?d show up for like half a day. I was there for two weeks. And I?m barely in the fking show.?

Asked by Meyers if it was sad being on the set for the last episode, Johnson answered: ?There were weird dynamics that had been going on for the last 10 years. Some people didn?t speak to each other. And I?m coming in like ?So excited to be here!? No one wanted to talk to me. No one gave a fk?I was like in the background of all of these scenes, faxing things.?

[From Variety]

I mean, Mindy Kaling has said/indicated as much, that after so long on the air, there were a lot of internal politics in The Office and some beefs and such. Plus, it was the finale! You can?t expect to come in as a new person for the finale and expect them to roll out the red carpet. Anyway, I didn?t expect Dakota to go that hard about her experience but it is what it is. I?m sure The Office fans will be mad at her.

Nepo baby Dakota Johnson thinks the nepotism conversation is pretty 'lame'

Nepo baby Dakota Johnson thinks the nepotism conversation is pretty 'lame'
Dakota Johnson is currently promoting Madame Web. There?s been at least one photocall and premiere, although I expect that we?ll get some bigger premieres in the coming days. Dakota recently hosted Saturday Night Live and one of her most successful bits was appearing in a Please Don?t Destroy video where she roasted the three comedians.

The ?nepo truce? thing caught on because, oh right, Dakota is absolutely a nepo baby. She?s a second-generation nepo baby! Her grandmother is Tippi Hendron, her mom is Melanie Griffith and her dad is Don Johnson. Her stepfather, for years, was Antonio Banderas too. Dakota is super-close to her mom, dad, grandmother and even her former stepfather. Which sort of gives her some blind spots to her own nepotism. Dakota appeared on the Today Show this week and she was asked about the Please Don?t Destroy video and nepo babies in general. Dakota shared her own story? of being cut off financially when she decided to become an actress.

Dakota Johnson is not a fan of the nepo baby conversation. Johnson, 34, said that she finds conversations surrounding celebrities whose parents are also celebrities or otherwise influential in the entertainment industry incredibly annoying and boring during an appearance on the Today show Wednesday.

Like, if you?re a journalist, write about something else, she told host Hoda Kotb, who asked Johnson ? whose parents are actors Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson ? about poking fun at her own celebrity status.

That?s just like, lame. So the opportunity to make fun of it, I jumped at, she added.

Johnson and her father Don, 74, have been open about his decision to cut her off financially when she decided to pursue acting rather than attend college after she graduated high school. He said, ?If you go to college, you?ll still get an allowance, she recalled on the Today show Wednesday. And I was like, ?Well, I?m going to be an actress.? So he was like, ?Alright, well you?re on your own.

Johnson secured her first acting role as an adult in 2010s The Social Network and has seen significant success since, most notably for her starring role in 2015s Fifty Shades of Grey and its two sequels.

I did some little modeling jobs that helped me pay my rent. And then I started auditioning and got some jobs, she told Kotb of how she survived after her father took her off the payroll, as she says he refers to the familys finances. I definitely had moments where I couldn?t afford groceries and had to ask my mom to help me. She was the nice one.

[From People]

I?m sure in Dakota?s mind, she is mostly self-made, because she was ?cut off? and she paid her own bills at an early age. But again, nepotism is about more than ?my famous parents made me pay my rent when I was 20!? It?s about more than money. While Don and Melanie didn?t support her financially, they supported her in a million other ways, and as we?ve seen endlessly, Hollywood loves first-gen, second-gen and third-gen nepo babies. Dakota was able to walk into auditions as the daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith. That gave her an enormous leg up. Its okay to acknowledge it and your own nepo privilege.

Dakota Johnson speaks to @hodakotb about ?Madame Web,? how she feels about the trajectory of her career, how her dad Don Johnson cut her off financially, her thoughts on the ?nepo baby? label and more.

Felicity Huffman, post-Varsity Blues: 'I guess I?m still processing'

Felicity Huffman, post-Varsity Blues: 'I guess I?m still processing'
Felicity Huffman is currently promoting a play, Hir, which is being staged in London for a month. Which means she?s giving interviews to British outlets like the Guardian, and the Guardian didn?t really want to talk about the play. They wanted to talk about Felicity?s arrest and brief imprisonment, her guilty plea and her politics. I?m used to reading bonkers interviews and profiles and let me tell you, this Guardian piece is very, very weird. Partly because Felicity so clearly does not want to talk about many subjects and partly because the Guardian interviewer is making it extremely awkward. Some highlights:

How she feels about her criminal past: ?You mean Varsity Blues? ?How I am is kind of a loaded question. As long as my kids are well and my husband is well, I feel like I?m well. I?m grateful to be here. But how am I? I guess I?m still processing.?

She has barely worked since the scandal broke. ?I did a pilot for ABC recently that didn?t get picked up. It?s been hard. Sort of like your old life died and you died with it. I?m lucky enough to have a family and love and means, so I had a place to land.?

She has encountered a range of reactions from the public. ?I?m not in any way whitewashing what I did but some people have been kind and compassionate. Others have not.?

David Mamet defended her: Among her defenders is her good friend David Mamet, who wrote an open letter insisting that Huffman should have received the ?Texas Verdict? which means: Not guilty, but don?t do it again. ?I thought it was kind and brave of him to say something, regardless of what it was.? What does she think of his Texas Verdict argument? ?I don?t know,? she says flatly, bringing the matter to a close.

She?s a Democrat, David Mamet is not: ?The country is so siloed. My husband and I are Democrats and we thought we should try watching different news channels that don?t tell us what we want to hear.? Or they could speak to Mamet, a proud Donald Trump supporter. ?It?s really hard to do with someone you love,? she sighs. ?I can?t understand it.? Isn?t it worth trying, now that a second Trump presidency is a possibility? ?Anything I can do on the ground with my actions and my pocketbook to help that not happen, I am committed to doing. But talking a loving friend out of their political convictions? I?m not signing up for that.? Was she surprised when Mamet swung to the right in his 2008 essay Why I am no longer a ?brain-dead liberal?? ?Yeah, I don?t really wanna go into it,? she says, squirming in her coat. We move on again.

[From The Guardian]

In late November, Felicity gave her first big interview since the guilty plea and jail, and while she sounded humbled, she also claimed (bizarrely) that she thought she had to do fraud and break the law ?to give my daughter a future.? The pushback on Felicity was immediate. I think she realized that she needs to talk about all of it in a different way, but she still hasn?t figured out what to say so she?s just sort of stilted and awkward about it.

This is such a tangent, but let me compare Felicity and Halle Berry in a narrow way in 2020, Halle got probation, a fine and court-ordered community service for a hit-and-run. Halle began working with Jenesse Center for her community service and simply never stopped. She?s an ambassador for the domestic-violence charity and she?s spent over two decades doing amazing work with them. I actually believe that Felicity is trying to do something similar, which is continue working with charities beyond her community service. Lean into that and work with a publicist to figure out a way to talk about your crimes so you don?t come across like a privileged ahole. Like, it?s so simple but Felicity still hasn?t figured out a way to do it.
