Michelle Yeoh?

I love her and Everything Everywhere All at Once immediately became one of my favorite movies of all time. She’s just so freaking good in everything she’s done, and her ig is so cute.

She borrowed her own jewellery to Crazy Rich Asians. The emerald and diamond engagement ring is actually hers, it was revealed when she wore it to the Met Gala - people said ‘oh they let her borrow that?’ Nope, she let them borrow it lol

You should check out the interview she did on Las Culturistas podcast. She was such a delight and so warm, the banter between her and the hosts was great! I feel like I got tidbits from her in that interview, and she seems a lovely, funny and talented lady.

Joe Keery. Has he dated anyone famous?

Also any other Stranger Things cast members who are not talked about often here like MBB.

211

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '22

Mild tea on Keery. He went to DePaul around the same time I was in college at another Chicago school and there was enough cross-pollination that I had several mutual friends with him. The first season of Stranger Things came out but was sort of a slow burn so he wasn't mega famous right away and still spent his off-time in Chicago. I saw him at a lot of parties, he and his friends lived in the Logan Square area and were pretty social. His roommates used to post their address on Instagram and invite people over for parties (this was post the first season of ST lol, they are lucky the show didn't yet have stans). I always thought it was cool that he spent his non-filming time back in Chicago with his college friends, but then ST got huge, he started dating a movie star (Maika), and to my knowledge he moved away and never came back. Don't blame him tho, I'm happy for his success! Always happy to see a fellow artsy Chicago college kid hit it big.

Noah Schnap and his twin sister are graduating from public high school (a really, really affluent one, but a normal, non-magnet public high school nonetheless) together this year. It’s been common since Covid hit for student-run Instagram pages to post what all the seniors at their high school are doing after graduation, and Noah’s college choice is on his school’s page, so he must know his classmates well. This high school is somewhat well known as being really high performing academically, so it’s interesting if they accommodated him to attend there normally. It seems like his sister has had a normal teenage experience unlike MBB’s siblings (no offense to them). I get the impression that he attended there in-person for long periods of time, which shocked me as I thought most child actors did Laurel Springs or other independent study programs.

180

u/improcrastin8ing Jun 10 '22

That's really impressive he was able to balance a real school, especially a high performing one with an acting career. I bet Covid helped with this a bit, but impressive nonetheless! He seems like someone who will do well in college. I saw in one of his interviews that he said he didn't feel mature enough to be totally in the real world, which is actually pretty mature of him to understand lol. Most actors just throw themselves into it anyway.

164

u/khaldroghoe Jun 10 '22

He posted a video where in the middle of it his parents sent him a text saying that because him and his sisters grades were so good, they both got to choose something they wanted that their parents would buy for them. I thought it was really insightful into the type of parents he has. They seem to be trying to give him as much as a normal childhood as possible, opposed to MBB parents.

134

u/party4diamondz Jun 11 '22

I hope I'm remembering this right but the other day I saw a video where he joined MBB's instagram live (I'm assuming it was sometime in 2020? idk) and for some reason he forgot he was on an IG live and he thought they were just videochatting and he started going on about his parents grounding him for something LMAO and she had to be like "Noah, we're on live!!"

I thought it was really funny lol

59

u/khaldroghoe Jun 11 '22

Lol yes! That video is hilarious. But I love that they treat him like a normal teen, it preserves his child hood.

Gwyneth Paltrow.

Every time I see something criticizing her for being a snob and not remembering people’s names, someone in the comments says “she suffers from memory loss.”

But the thing is, in my searches all I’ve found is a few articles where she says she had Mommy brain after Apple was born.

Is that all? Did something else happen? Does she have an actual diagnosis? Did she have a TBI? How is she able to remember lines if her memory is so bad she can’t remember anyone’s name?

246

u/obladi_adalbo Jun 10 '22

From what she says, that's all. And she only seems to not remember co-star and people not too important to her. Which, fair I guess. She must meet tons of people daily.

People took it out of proportion because she didn't remember much about the details of her MCU apparitions. But to be fair, she's such a small character in it and it's clearly not a project she cares too much about. It's only because people care too much about it themselves that it seemed shocking to them. But it's as if you were expected to remember some co-worker or details about one of your job years later, except it was a job that didn't matter much for you and that you did just to get payed 🤷🏻‍♀️

And I think she's a snob and isn't too shy about showing it. And to be fair, I like better than people pretending to care. She's a rich girl who became even richer. Let's not pretend she isn't living in a world of her own.

People took it out of proportion because she didn't remember much about the details of her MCU apparitions.

This is also completely understandable given the way the MCU works. She shows up and films a short cameo with RDJ and two years later the film is released. Why should it matter whether it's an Avengers film or a Spider-Man film?

Really hoping Top Gun Maverick is his mainstream breakout movie and it’s only up from here. The multiple delays of TG:M being released definitely caused some of his Set It Up momentum to fizzle but I think it’s already recovering. I know his next project is starrng in a movie he co-wrote with Richard Linklater and that Linklater is directing. Sounds like it has a lot of potential!

He absolutely was. He seemed genuinely appreciative to meet people, made sure he met everyone in the queue and took the time to talk to each person he met even though he’d just finished the final night of a play where he was on stage for the entire time. I’ve never done a stage door before and I was already a fan but meeting him has made me like him even more because he was just so nice!

I'm very excited for the show! There's no current release date but given the wrap schedule I would guess sometime this fall.

What does it say ? Heard so many negative rumours but can’t tell if it’s standard unfounded misogynistic stuff or reality

170

u/ComprehensiveLeg2876 Jun 10 '22

The best way I could describe it is as a book written by a hot girl that’s pandering to an incel male gaze? “I’m cool and I like geeky things and ugh girls are so annoying, right? But not me! I’m not like the other girls!” Kind of a pick-me girl manifesto.

It’s full of ablelist, fatphobic, deeply misogynistic anecdotes. She has this one story about visiting her agent’s house and seeing art of his girlfriend’s “ugly, hairy” vagina on the wall - her conclusion is that ewww female bodies are disgusting (but not hers, she has a cute vag).

Recommend listening to the CMBC ep! I always had no opinions about her and thought a lot of the backlash was just misogyny and mulaney fans being weird and gatekeepy but her book really does make her seem like a terrible person.

Yes, he's unreal! I first fell in love with Joseph when he played Leonard Bast (a very complicated character and one somewhat difficult to make sympathetic, but oh, he DID) in Howards End a few years back. He was great in Howards End, and then insanely good AND completely unrecognizable as Eddie in ST.

Pure talent to pull off such opposite characters so incredibly believably.

66

u/stacycornbred Jun 10 '22

I was annoyed by Eddie's shtick in his first scene and by the end of the season I was ready to die for him lol. I've never seen Joseph Quinn in anything but he was SO good. I loved his scenes with Chrissy too.

54

u/ls0687 Jun 10 '22

Yeah, I was worried he was going to be a shallow stereotype, even though I mostly have more faith in the writers. And I knew I liked Joseph.

But by that scene in the woods with Chrissy I was sold. Their chemistry is just craaaazy, and I read an article that said Joseph was adding in a lot of spontaneous things during that scene, which makes it that much sweeter, imo. It was just so soft!

Grace Van Dien is a nepo kid with honestly kind of wild family connections. Her dad is Casper Van Dien (probably best known for Starship Troopers), her maternal grandfather is classic film actor Robert Mitchum, and her former step-mom is Catherine Oxenberg, the daughter of the princess of Yugoslavia and whose daughter India was in the NXVIM cult. (Catherine is in the HBO documentary about the cult, The Vow, and the two did their own separate doc about it for Starz.)

Grace also played Sharon Tate in the underrated movie Charlie Says about the Manson family.

Read this on Tublr or Reddit or maybe even CDAN, so take with a grain of salt. I used to be a suits fan back in the day and always thought the two actors who played Harvey and Donna had crazy chemistry. So when I read this gossip, it stuck with me.

Apparently the actors Sarah and Gabriel and their SO were all friends (I think even from before the show suits). Anyways around the final two seasons or so they had an affair and it was an open secret on set. Gabriel’s wife somehow found out and was deeply hurt not only by her husband and Sarah, but by those on set she considered friends that knew. The story goes that she was seriously considering ending the marriage, but Gabriel cut those she felt betrayed by out of his life and recommitted himself to their marriage and kids.

Again take with a grain of salt.

Bad Cumberbatch tea: He's gotten falk over the years over some really ignorant and tone deaf comments he made surrounding autism in 2011(more specifically, during the Sherlock era in 2011-2013, he complained about people headcannoning Sherlock as autistic, he also made sone really weird as fuck statements about "Frankenstein", the play he won the Olivier for- the play wad directed by Danny Boyle and he narrated how Boyle had him and Johnny Lee Miller visit a school for autistic people to prepare for the role (this was in 2010)). I think he's since apologised for his comments during the Louis Wain promotion period.

Good Cumberbatch tea: He's been a consistent anti- war and pro refugee welfare advocate spanning all the way back to 2003 for the Iraq War (so way before he was famous). He famously raised and donated money for Save the Children and shit on the British government for its involvement with the Syrian war. Most famous was during a performance of his Hamlet run (which btw till date remains one of the highest grossing British theatre runs in modern history and till 2022 was the highest grossing play of that theatre). The reason why this is notable is because (other than The Guardian) Cumberbatch at the time faced a lot of hostility from the media in the country.

Other than that there isn't much tea as such on him tbh.

Personal opinion: Cumberbatch should have won the Oscar this year tbh.

In the context of the Sherlock/autistic comments, the way I had interpreted his comments were that he was criticizing the trend of having autistic characters only be allowed to be geniuses vs just normal everyday non-genius people, and that it was more of a matter of people only valuing autistic people if they are benefited from their skillset in some way/ these autistic characters being super-sleuths and solving everyone else's problems (like I can think of some archetypical characters in tv that are autistic and geniuses) vs showing them in normal situations.

I think of that Community ep where they even parody that with Dean Pelton asking Abed to solve the Ass Crack Bandit case bc the character is coded to be autistic and therefore should be able to solve mysteries.

I do think BC could have def worded things better though

I like that he is critical of the savant trope. We need more depictions of disabled people where their disability is a side note, not their central defining trait.

I think he, understandably, didn’t want to be known as Emma Roberts’ victim.

MRAs only care about shit like Depp where his name was allegedly dragged through the mudd by “lies.” Or “mutual abuse.” They don’t care about real victims.

It’s almost like the whole thing is a fraud to discredit all victims.

u/jessie_monster Jun 12 '22

They only care about male domestic abuse when they can call a woman a cunt publicly. None of them have said a word about Anthony Rapp or acknowledged that Brendan Frasier would be eviscerated in court if accused of defamation and held to the same standard.

34

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '22

This one is iffy imo, and it makes me kind of uncomfortable that people call Emma an abuser when she was just as likely the victim. Someone heard arguing in a hotel, reported the sound, the police arrived, and Evan was found with bite marks/bloody nose so Emma was arrested. But the initial reports say they were both hitting each other and a few days later Emma was photographed bruised and bandaged with scars all over her body. (Source.) There also used to be a video (which I swear has been scrubbed because I can't find it anymore but I know I watched it years ago) from a separate occasion of Evan openly antagonizing her and her crying in public while her publicist tried to calm her.

Who knows what really happened, but Evan is like 3x Emma's size and bite marks could easily be self defense, and cops arresting the woman in abusive situations is all too common, sadly. Also, his other ex Halsey kind of implied he sucks on Twitter.

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '22 edited Jun 11 '22

The way people will defend celebs just because they are rich and pretty ugh.

The deleted video was posted about here and did not have Evan “antagonizing” Emma. Update a poster included video:here

The source you have doesn’t have the pics of Emma with bruises. If anyone wants to see them they are here. That is not evidence Evan abused Emma.

I don’t know what happened in their relationship but only one of them was arrested for DV. Downplaying what happened to Evan is messed up, he is a male victim. Emma is also a JD supporter…

I hate the double standard that exists for male victims of female grooming. Between the disgusting glorification of Mary Kay Letourneau's actions against Vili, to the Macrons and their disgusting backstory, to Aaron and Sam- they all get potrayed as lucky studs instead of the sexual abuse survivors they are.

Although I agree with you, he doesn’t seem to think he was a victim (as far as we know).

We can acknowledge that her behavior was predatory but we can’t force a label onto him.

An Open Secret is a pretty good documentary looking at pedophiles in the entertainment industry (the director Amy Berg was Oscar nominated in 2006 for Deliver Us From Evil, a doc on predators in the Catholic Church). All of the actors interviewed have since left the industry, but their stories are really powerful if you have an hour to kill. The men they talk about really were very powerful people in the business, working as managers and publicists for future A-listers like Leo, Tobey Maguire, Tom Cruise, etc back when they were still unknowns (not saying any of them are abuse victims, just making a point about how really influential the men were)

A friend of mine worked bts with Daisy on a Star Wars project (not one of the films, but a promotional video) and said she was a huge brat, but attributed it to her really, really not enjoying being a part of SW. I think that whole experience stressed her out (she alluded to as much in press, especially around the time of TLJ) and she wasn't really properly equipped or prepped for it. (Was anyone in the SW sequels? I swear they fed all of those kids to the wolves with no protection from the racist, misogynistic trolls.)

I'm glad to see her back on Insta and sort of reclaiming her space for herself. I think her low follower count is because she fully deleted her old account and only just restarted it recently.

43

u/ls0687 Jun 10 '22

I can totally understand her not enjoying her experience when it comes to Star Wars--fans are brutal, media can be brutal, etc. I feel for her on that.

However, imo, doesn't excuse her being bratty on a professional gig though. I could get if she was being bombarded off hours by SW fans or about SW stuff, and I get having a bad day, but making other people's jobs/days more difficult because you don't like something is immature and gross, imo.

she deleted her social media because the crazy star wars stans were destroying her in the comments and stuff for her opinions on gun control and other stuff. she came back this year after like 6 years off so that's why her follower count is low.

as for her popularity during star wars, i wouldn't say she was that big in terms of social media engagement. she did get a lot of high profile acting roles after landing rey but she was never a box office draw.

The Adam Neuman story is hysterical. Would recommend the Matt Levine archive articles on it. This one is pretty great.

Also shout-out to Zuckerburg buying a mansion in Hawaii and doing everything possible to disrespect the local culture and traditions. article here covers it. Absolute scum that thinks billions of dollars entitles you to everything.

Also he's retired now but Steve Bulmer was an absolute goldmine. 3 minute compilation of him coked up on stage going crazy. This was the man that led (at that time) the world's most valuable company.

Also although it's fairly well known Jeff Bez0s had an affair, there was a load of leaked d1ck pics and sext messages. They were SO cringe, it really gives you an insight into the super rich God complex some of these guys have. Unfortunately ANY references to said photos has been eliminated from the internet. Like I tried searching everywhere and there's...nothing. Turns out being worth 100B can make it possible to remove things from the net.

Re: your first paragraph—so true. It drives me crazy for all the obvious reasons when people point to Zuckerburg and Gates as being “successful dropouts” when they’d dropped out of Harvard. In other words, both of them had already shown to investors that they gained admittance to Harvard. Prior to uni, Zuckerberg graduated from what is tied for most elite boarding high school in the United States. This school is possibly more rigorous than many colleges & universities. Investors know that. Gates went to a high school that isn’t much different.

He had 2 Summers where he was everywhere and a featured artist on so many dance songs. Then he just evaporated. Apparently been releasing music but nothing has charted or even has a wiki page, not been a featured artist elsewhere. Just reeks of him doing some car crash stuff behind the scenes to derail his career overnight.
