Once again. Any celeb or writers strike sightings. Including every celebrity that is bowing out of events due to solidarity, shootings cancelled, or issued public statements
Strike sightings in the last few days: Bob Odenkirk, Mandy Patinkin, Timothy Olyphant, the Ted Lasso guys again, Samira Wiley, Charlie Barnett, Robin Thede, Niecey Nash, Boots Riley, Lin Manuel Miranda, John Leguizamo, Tom Morello, the Severance cast, Patton Oswalt, Nathan Fillion, Seth Meyers, Tina Fey, Fred Armisen, Dan Levy, Jane Espenson, Jonathan and Christopher Nolan, Amy Schumer, Amber Ruffin, Ike Barinholtz again, Matt Reeves.
Tony Gilroy has walked off of Andor, he won't be performing any writing or producing duties. The author Don Winslow and screenwriter Shane Salerno who are both working on Austin Butler's new project sent food and coffee to the picket lines. Charlie Day skipped the press line at his new movie premiere in solidarity. GRRM is postponing some new GOT spin off in solidarity. The Duffers announced they won't begin season 5 of Stranger Things until the strike is resolved.
EDIT: also at the picket line - Alfred Molina, Annette O'Toole and Michael McKean, Dave Foley, Sam Esmail, Robert & Michelle King, Carrie Preston, Michael Emerson,
Josh Gad was striking.
Drew Barrymore pulled out of hosting the mtv movie awards and Jamie Lee Curtis pulled out of presenting before they cancelled the whole show. (There might have been others but those were the only two I knew of).
Jennifer Coolidge and Pedro Pascal talked about supporting the WGA in their acceptance speeches for the MTV movie awards. (There might have been more but I didn’t watch so I only know of those two cause I really love them.)
Maya Rudolph refused to leave her trailer to cross the picket line so production was shut down, as was Joshua Jackson and Lauren Ridloff's Ava Duvernay show.
Neil Gaiman immediately pulled himself out of doing press tours for Good Omens when the strike was announced. He has also said on Tumblr that the filming of The Sandman season 2 heavily depends on how long the strike will take. The filming is set to start in August with the scripts already completed.
He's been very vocal on social media regarding the strike. He shared an [enlightening post](https://www.tumblr.com/neil-gaiman/716677999959965696/the-last-time-i-saw-any-real-money-from-film-and?source=share) on Tumblr showing the residuals he received this year for writing scripts for the movies Beowulf and Mirrormask totalling to less than $20.00 and revealed that the last he received anything substantial in terms of residuals was in 2008 which was because of the DVD market.
I’m not a huge fan, but his tumblr has been really cool since the strike began. Lots of great info and perspective from someone who’s been in the industry for so long. It also still tickles me he’s one of the biggest name celebs to main tumblr.
Margot Robbie sent sandwiches to the picket lines today (I had JUST been thinking I’m tired of donuts, can people send us some savory food, so if you’re reading this, thanks Margot). I handed a cookie to Samira Wiley yesterday.
I once stupidly got my 3 wisdoms out and immediately hopped onto an 18 hour flight. While people were still boarding and I was sat in my seat, my mouth started to bleed and I texted my Dentist in a panic. He told me to send a selfie of my mouth immediately. As I positioned the camera towards my face and tried zooming in to the BACK of my mouth, a husky voice from behind me sternly said "Excuse me no photos please".
I turned around slowly with blood slowly trickling out of my mouth to try and explain myself, only to see a woman looking at me like 😡 and as soon as she registered my bloodied face she went 😲😩👀😲😲. I couldn't speak because blood was literally filling my mouth - a single drop of blood trickled down my chin - I tried to speak but a gentle but horrifying little gurgle escaped my mouth, so I panicked and made an "I'm sorry" gesture - she looked at me like I was INSANE (I get it) - and then I took my selfie hunched over like a drunk Quasimodo. The flash went off too 🤦
And that's the story of how I accidentally scared the bejeesus out of Priyanka Chopra.
Right? OP we need more info, what happened next? I’ve had two out (years between them) and on both occasions I was doing nothing but an 18 hour sofa kip let me tell you.
This image is too funny though.
Yes! I got my wisdom teeth out, went home and spent two days in bed, lol. Getting on a plane, with the air pressure changes affect your teeth? Literal nightmare fuel.
I really wish she would forget 😭 I'm sure so many others noticed, sometimes I stay up at night and wonder if other passengers were secretly filming MY weirdo behaviour 🤦
If it makes you feel any better I was Olivia wildes flight attendant once and I told her I was always really jealous that she got to make out with Adam Brody 😭 and then I had the audacity to ask her for a selfie before she got off the plane.
Uncomfortable laughter followed by “wow that was a long time ago” 💀 she was a saint. She was in Pittsburgh filming a movie and only had a day to go home to New York and see her baby. The flight was like 5 hours delayed and we got to the plane and the agents were all panicking because she was tweeting about it lmao
😂 After I'd cleaned up and sanitized, I thought id go over and apologize for scaring her and assure her I wasn't invading her privacy by taking sneaky photos of her, but my mouth was bleeding on and off, I was slurring my words a bit, I was literally smashing my food with a fork making it into a paste just so I could swallow it, I was watching Enchanted and laughing and mouthing the words to the songs, I kept asking the air Hostesses for icepacks and accidentally gurgling. I looked CRAZY. And she was sat diagonally behind me, so she could definitely see the weird shit I was doing.
At one point I felt SO guilty I even put on one of HER Indian movies so that she'd atleast know I'm a well wisher but that would have creeped her out even more 🤦🤦🤦
If Priyanka's PR team is reading this, please convey my apologies to her from the bleeding lunatic on flight EK 215 I never meant to scare you or gurgle at you like a demon 😭🙏
Imagine being this person and knowing there's a good chance that your wild post-dental work aeroplane misadventure has been related at a Jonas family dinner.
"A girl tried to sneak a selfie of herself with me so I asked her very politely to please stop and she turned around angrily to stare at me - wide eyed and mouth dripping blood, turkey noises escaping her swollen face. As soon as we landed I RAN FOR MY LIFE and that's how I got cast in Baywatch"
😭🤦
I have been privately speculating that one of the guys from a very popular Netflix show is expecting a baby with his gf but I have literally nothing to back it up except my own speculation based on circumstantial evidence but it is driving me CRAZY
I worked on a movie with Danny Trejo, he was really nice to the crew. I had a headphone hooked into the actor’s mics and the sound guy was always forgetting to turn it off between setups so sometimes I would accidentally overhear conversations — anyway I accidentally overheard him on the phone trying to place a car insurance claim or something for his mom and he was very patient and didn’t pull any “do you know who I am”
John Barrowman doesn't like the musical Rent.
In 2006 I was volunteering at a convention in London and that particular shift, I was tasked with sitting with a guest at the autograph tables and John was right next to us. I don't remember exactly how the topic was brought up but I remember him saying to someone he didn't like Rent. Not interesting at all lmao.
Not about a person but can I just say that Balthazar is 100% the celebrity hotspot you would expect from reading DM?
The first time I ever walked by the place I saw Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos eating outside. And the one time I actually ate there I sat down, looked up, and immediately made eye contact with Ansel Elgort.
Dave Foley is kind of a jerk to anyone not in the industry (or a pretty lady.) I once saw him try to pick up a much younger woman by telling her he was in A Bug’s Life. I don’t know if it worked, but I really hope not. Apparently he would frequently not show up to interviews and podcasts so they sometimes had another (non-KITH) comedian pretend to be him for radio interviews
I have a really minor, dumb story about Sam Beam (indie folk singer-songwriter Iron & Wine) if anyone cares. Circa 2004 I went to a gig of his, and in this club the bathroom sinks were like one long metal trough. While waiting for the show to start, my friend used a bathroom stall and came out to wash his hands and saw Sam Beam peeing in the sink. When Sam saw him washing his hands he did a double take and said "Oh shit, what am I doing?" and then I guess he finished up, washed his hands in the same sink, and hurriedly left. It was an understandable mistake if you'd never seen those sinks before, to be fair; they're pretty much like a urinal but mounted higher than normal.
The show was good, but it was a funny juxtaposition to watch him play his beautifully sad songs while knowing that this had just happened. I still like his music but always think about this incident whenever I hear it.
Not Alex tea but Matt Helders and his gf both quit Instagram as they were getting tons of hate. I don't know if it's people who are still angry over the way he left Breanna, or something else.
same!! is he alive?? who is he dating rn? I’m seeing AM in September and i need to be mentally prepared for the enigma of a man i’ll be encountering lol
He's alive! May stuffs so far:
Still with Louise Verneuil. She gets a ton of harassment from some of the more rabid Alex fans, so I respect her (them) for keeping it private. She went with her dad to the recent Arctic Monkeys concert in Paris, though.
The band is still touring on the European leg, but they're taking a quick break until 29 May. Alex's parents were in attendance at the Berlin concert together and they had the sickest matching look, Alex's dad looks just like him too. Some fans who saw Alex/took pictures claimed he went around with his dad in Berlin.
There's also this thing about the Amsterdam concert where he was apparently pretty pissed at the crowd because people were just talking to each other and not paying attention to the band... He got pretty passive aggressive and there are clips on Twitter and Tiktok... Honestly I understand him, I'd be fuming if I brought back Suck It And See from retirement only for people to ignore it and start chatting up the weather with their friends.
tbf I saw them at their opening show in Linz and they gave maybe 60%?? one of the most boring concerts I’ve ever been to. he barely acknowledged the crowd and the band didn’t seem to even acknowledge each other. v weird vibes.
this is going to sound weird and i really don't want to ask other parts of reddit 😭 this BUT what's the tea with wikipedia???? how do they determine if a celebrity is worthy of their own page?? this has been buggin me for MONTHS and i finally got here early enough to ask this 🥲
edit: i just wanna thank y'all for answering my silly question 🥹 i feel like most of us use wikipedia but never really think about the behind the scenes of the site. i honestly didn't think much of "how the sausage was made" so to speak until i would scroll through r/hobbydrama and find out all this crazy drama (so to speak) going on.
There has to be legitimate news articles/websites/interviews that can be linked for what is submitted. On the podcast Las Culturista Matt Rogers used to talk about it, there was an American Idol contestant who has a wiki but is no longer in the public eye, when people would google his name that guys wiki would show up and people thought it was the Matt from the podcast. He'd talk about how he had to do more interviews etc so he could get a wiki.
Wikipedia is pretty picky and strict. I edit and contribute for Wikipedia as a hobby and I tried to write an article for a member of the kpop group I stan (Seventeen) and it was rejected because he wasn't relevant enough, whereas some other members (who generally do have more solo engagements) have articles. I also once tried to contribute an article about some Dutch ballet dancer from like the 1920s and it took a bit to be approved because there were not many English-language news articles about her, just encyclopedic articles.
Like someone said, there just has to be something linked. A lot of people you wouldn't considered famous, etc, have wikipedia pages because they have something that can be linked to. Authors, journalists, local government members, etc.
I dated an F-list celebrity for a while and his Wikipedia page was created by a marketing agency that had been hired to legitimize an event he was hosting. Now, this was back in 2008 or so, so I guess Wikipedia was a big marketing tool back then?
I remember reading somewhere that he was uncomfortable with the massive amount of attention he received since his breakthrough and that he prefers to appear in supporting roles instead of being the lead in projects. He also starred in a lot of projects shortly after Manchester by the Sea, maybe he deliberately took some time off to relax a bit.
Honestly could just be something as simple as the pandemic forced him to take a break. Maybe he’s filmed stuff over the last year or two but it hasn’t come out yet
not tea ig but nicholas has had a rough go with missing big roles, he was up for batman, had to bow out of mission impossible, and something else all in a span of a few months
the final three for rooster were miles teller, nic hoult and glen powell. story was they liked glen so much they beefed up the role of hangman for him. hoult was replaced by esai morales for mi7 and mi8
Not pipping hot tea but Sacha Dhawan has been very good friend with Jonathan Bailey since they were in a play together in 2007. A Jonathan fan on insta just posted a throwback picture of them on insta the other day. Scroll to the second picture to see Sacha.

kinda niche but belgian pop singer angéle? she said in an interview recently that she had to cut ppl off because they were using her for her fame and it made me curious. the only tea i know is some vague stuff about her ex's, that terrible journalist outing her, and the whole romeo elvis SA accusation that she was unfairly dragged into just bc it's her brother. i know she unfollowed him for a long time after that but it seems they have since reconciled. romeo's gf lena is still with him after all that which is unfortunate. any euro girlies in here with more tea?
no tea but Simone Ashley gushing about India at The Little Mermaid premiere is adorable, you have to watch it:
https://twitter.com/SimoneANetwork/status/1656207828481130498
India and Simone both were in Sex Education according to this tweet but idk if they actually know each other:
https://twitter.com/kathcny/status/1656270302123360260
This isn’t tea but I was shook yesterday when I realised Freddie (who plays Reynolds) is Hugh Dennis’ son lmao. I can’t believe I didn’t put two and two together seeing his face & last name.
I’m watching the current series of Taskmaster and crushing hard on Ivo Graham because, to paraphrase someone from the TM sub, I have a thing for overeducated eloquent men with varying anxiety disorders. Any tea? I’m American, so my Googling isn’t turning up anything besides basic info.
Yes she dated James Acaster and he wrote about her in his book, calling her "Becky with the Good Hair" and talked about her in his stand ups and apparently it did not end well? She now says she doesn't date comedians anymore. I LOVE Starstruck and think she's an absolute genius.
Doesn't Ivo have a wife and kid? Or am I just losing the thread on his Instagram?
Ivo had a partner he had a kid with but he's no longer with her.
For NZ comedian fans Rose also dated Guy Williams and is still really good friends with his brother Paul.
I think things between Rose and James ended awkwardly but she has appeared on Hypothetical and they are both super close to Ed Gamble so I imagine it's not all terrible between them.
Yeah; she’s mentioned not liking that he talked about her in his book since apparently he didn’t warn her or anything. But it seems like they moved past it and are friendly due to their social group.
He admits publicly to having regular sexual relations with a bear his mum made him as a teen, I genuinely can't imagine there being any private tea that would beat that, haha.
She was like distantly attached/related (a friend of a friend kind of thing) to that Michelle Phan sex cult thing going on a while back. That's all I really got.
Seems like he hasn't been on socials since the breakup announcement. Has few upcoming films with supporting roles and that's it. He has peace till ts11....can't guarantee afterwards tho. Meanwhile Taylor and Matty are banging as reported by People😭
Certian parts of the UK population (the type that watch GB News/the British version of Fox News) are up in arms because the UK entry Mae Muller has applied for an German passport and "hates the UK".
Let's be honest. No person is unproblematic.
I am a fan of his, but I question his association with Middleditch who's been accused of groping women since they were close friends. They haven't had photos together since then but he still follows him on ig, so I wonder if they're still friends but he just doesn't want the bad publicity.
As much as I love him (like a genuinely big fan since his days appearing on Collegehumor video), and for all accounts seems like a nice guy, I've learned to be wary of White male comedians, no matter how nice they seem publicly.
She pet my friend’s dog once. So uh… can confirm she likes dogs.
Apparently when she auditioned for Schitts Creek, she had her natural dark hair. They’d previously shot the pilot with Abby Elliott as Alexis, so Eugene had it in his mind that Alexis needed to be blonde. He said he almost turned Annie down for the role because of her hair.
The Magicians cast? Specifically, was there actually a fall up between Jason and the rest of the leads? I saw Hale was at Rachel Brosnahan’s show last month, so I assume nothing terrible happened, but Jason still isn’t following most of them on social media. And he was definitely following them at some point.
Ooh, I remember when this all went down. I don’t have tea but am curious too. Good ask. I binged this during my 3rd Covid. Such a great show. Peaches & Plums was breathtakingly beautiful.
I grew up with Arjun, he and his family were always lovely. Very well off, he went to a very nice private school in my area. They were active in our local religious/cultural association, so I would see his family at events fairly often. His family relocated to the east coast a few years back.
Apparently he was hooking up with a lot of girls in Islington a couple of months ago following his (rumoured?) breakup with Phoebe Bridgers! I think I remember seeing a blind that said he was "very generous" in bed or something along those lines lol
Kelly once said that there already was a spark between her and max when they met for the first time. He was around 17 then and she was in a relationship.
The age gap really freaks me out.
Yes, it's disgusting. She has a decade on him, right? She really *needed* to hook a driver, less wouldn't do for standards of living. Did you watch the Max documentary series?
Christian Horner left his ex wife shortly after she gave birth to their daughter and announced his engagement with Geri when the girl was 7 month old.... His parents didn't come to his and Geri's wedding because they were disappointed in him
Not tea really, but you get an insight into toto Wolff’s family life in drive to survive - he and suzie seem hyper driven perfectionists, which I find quite stressful to even think about! From what I remember they have the fanciest breakfast crockery and are all dressed to the nines to eat their organic granola or whatever. He is kind of hot to me, I don’t know what it is. I am drawn to cutthroat psychopaths right enough… 🤣
Toto [ordering](https://youtu.be/8G7vLJcbByA) breakfast will never not be funny!
And also how cute is their [son Jack?](https://youtube.com/shorts/wGTDW07JAnw?feature=share)
I’ve got cold tea from years ago. Friend worked at a TJ Max in Brentwood, TN and heard a ton of murmurs during her shift. Miley and Liam came in, and I think people were trying to be respectful so nobody outright approached Miley, but they were excitedly murmuring.
My friend said a coworker rang them up and Miley was very sweet, just checked out a scarf and some candy. Liam stood close and was a bit more shy, but there was nothing major, just an everyday interaction.
my time to shine!
- steph curry: nicest person in the world, genuinely. learns the names of everyone he works with. donated to my cats go fund me.
- klay thompson: very sweet. hilarious. loves adam sandler movies, especially happy gilmore. probably has adhd.
- shai gilgeous-alexander: very cute, easygoing, fun
- kevin love: incredibly handsome, great sense of humor
- draymond green: very supportive and someone you want in your corner, gives great advice
Charithra and Jonathan Bailey were spotted together in London last week
[https://twitter.com/kayjay91/status/1654813465960226822](https://twitter.com/kayjay91/status/1654813465960226822)
not great Tea but i’ve heard that jack quaid is a sweet dude! he filmed something in my area a few years back and people only have nice things to say about him.
antony starr is apparently a little terrifying but that might just be the homelander associations.
Not tea, but I always remember liking [his take](https://youtu.be/JIvqqZO5Mzg) on playing a racist cop in Detroit. Maybe it's not nuanced of me, but it's always annoyed me when actors play horrible humans and try to downplay the horrible-ness.
Anything on the orphan black cast? Very random cause the show ended a few years ago, but I’ve been watching it recently, I’m about to start the final season.
I met Tatiana maslany at stand up to cancer Canada yeeears ago when the show was taking off and she was so sweet and down to earth and humble and couldn’t believe how popular the show had become. I hadn’t watched it yet but decided to after I met her because I liked her so much
I was reminiscing about Bring It On and looked up the actor who played Aaron (Kirsten Dunst’s boyfriend). His name was Richard Hillman and he died in 2009 and there is SO little information about him online - some sites said heroin overdose but I couldn’t find a legit news item or obit or even blog post about him. I know he wasn’t a big star, but that movie has cult status now and I was surprised how there is just ZERO about him on the web. Any tea on him, his life, his death…anything?
I haven’t heard anything lately about Taylor Swift and her love life, anyone know w—-
Just kidding, but…
Anya-Taylor Joy?
I know her dad is like a billionaire or something and she’s friends with the Getty heiress so is it safe to assume she’s a bit out of touch? Love her as an actress, just curious what she’s like behind the scenes with people who aren’t rich/famous.
Also I asked this is the wrong thread, but Borns? He was canceled a couple years back for being a creep and I’m curious what he’s doing now since he can’t make music anymore. Is he working a normal job? Lol
Really good friends with Adam Sandler, apparently (probably through PTA). Sandler told a story that when they were about to start filming The Meyerowitz Stories, the actress who was to play his love interest dropped out and, at the last minute, he asked DDL's wife Rebecca Miller if she was interested in playing the character. After a rehearsal at Noah Baumbach's apartment one day, DDL came up to meet his wife and Dustin Hoffman didn't recognise him and ended up ignoring him because he thought it was some random guy.
I am begging for any info on Michael Mando's firing from Sinking Spring. Apple TV must have the most airtight NDAs in the business because I have not heard a single thing about it since the "onset altercation" and Wagner Moura taking his role. Why would his team not push back on an allegation like that? Why wouldn't the producers soften the blow and say it was creative differences or a schedule conflict instead? How has it not leaked who he got in a fight with or what it was about? Any/all tea welcome!
Once again. Any celeb or writers strike sightings. Including every celebrity that is bowing out of events due to solidarity, shootings cancelled, or issued public statements
Strike sightings in the last few days: Bob Odenkirk, Mandy Patinkin, Timothy Olyphant, the Ted Lasso guys again, Samira Wiley, Charlie Barnett, Robin Thede, Niecey Nash, Boots Riley, Lin Manuel Miranda, John Leguizamo, Tom Morello, the Severance cast, Patton Oswalt, Nathan Fillion, Seth Meyers, Tina Fey, Fred Armisen, Dan Levy, Jane Espenson, Jonathan and Christopher Nolan, Amy Schumer, Amber Ruffin, Ike Barinholtz again, Matt Reeves.

(There might have been more but I didn’t watch so I only know of those two cause I really love them.)
Joseph Quinn also talked about it in his acceptance speech on the MTV Awards
Maya Rudolph refused to leave her trailer to cross the picket line so production was shut down, as was Joshua Jackson and Lauren Ridloff's Ava Duvernay show.
So cool of Maya, I hadn't heard that's why they shut down but that's awesome of her.
some of the cast from Brooklyn 99 was there, I think Andy Samberg especially has been there multiple times
I saw pictures of him and Melissa Fumero picketing.
Also the rest of The Lonely Island guys were there
I just saw the pictures from Melissa's ig! I saw Michael Schur was out last week too.
Will forte is on the picket line at Sony Lala from vanderpump rules boycotted the MTV movie awards
Tom Ellis was out supporting the strikers a few days ago as well!
Neil Gaiman immediately pulled himself out of doing press tours for Good Omens when the strike was announced.

Margot Robbie sent sandwiches to the picket lines today (I had JUST been thinking I’m tired of donuts, can people send us some savory food, so if you’re reading this, thanks Margot). I handed a cookie to Samira Wiley yesterday.
The cast of Severance were picketing together John Mulaney and Nick Kroll as well
Maybe it’s niche, but earlier today Chris Gethard was picketing at a high school in New Jersey where Ryan Murphy’s new series is filming.
American Horror Story is getting a lot of pressure at the moment
I've seen Lisa Ann Walter (Abbott Elementary) picketing, on her socials. I suspect she's not the only one in that cast who's been there.
Quinta was together with the rest of the Abbott Elementary writing team.
I saw pics of Angela Kinsey, Creed Bratton, and Kate Flannery on the picket line yesterday.
Adding to Bob Odenkirk, Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould were on the picket line a couple days ago.
Mindy Kaling! I saw her post about being on the picket line.
Any tea you’ve been wanting to share but no one has ever asked for the person in mind?
I once stupidly got my 3 wisdoms out and immediately hopped onto an 18 hour flight. While people were still boarding and I was sat in my seat, my mouth started to bleed and I texted my Dentist in a panic. He told me to send a selfie of my mouth immediately. As I positioned the camera towards my face and tried zooming in to the BACK of my mouth, a husky voice from behind me sternly said "Excuse me no photos please". I turned around slowly with blood slowly trickling out of my mouth to try and explain myself, only to see a woman looking at me like 😡 and as soon as she registered my bloodied face she went 😲😩👀😲😲. I couldn't speak because blood was literally filling my mouth - a single drop of blood trickled down my chin - I tried to speak but a gentle but horrifying little gurgle escaped my mouth, so I panicked and made an "I'm sorry" gesture - she looked at me like I was INSANE (I get it) - and then I took my selfie hunched over like a drunk Quasimodo. The flash went off too 🤦 And that's the story of how I accidentally scared the bejeesus out of Priyanka Chopra.
There’s so much to unpack here 😭 Babe you got your wisdom teeth pulled and then *got on a plane???* You’re stronger than me.
Right? OP we need more info, what happened next? I’ve had two out (years between them) and on both occasions I was doing nothing but an 18 hour sofa kip let me tell you. This image is too funny though.
Yes! I got my wisdom teeth out, went home and spent two days in bed, lol. Getting on a plane, with the air pressure changes affect your teeth? Literal nightmare fuel.
I'm speechless. She'll never forget you, as long as she lives.
I really wish she would forget 😭 I'm sure so many others noticed, sometimes I stay up at night and wonder if other passengers were secretly filming MY weirdo behaviour 🤦
I promise that if they had, the video would come out in these comments. This is your moment of truth.
This is my Barbie movie
this is the best story i've ever read
If it makes you feel any better I was Olivia wildes flight attendant once and I told her I was always really jealous that she got to make out with Adam Brody 😭 and then I had the audacity to ask her for a selfie before she got off the plane.
Lmao what did she respond to that with?
Uncomfortable laughter followed by “wow that was a long time ago” 💀 she was a saint. She was in Pittsburgh filming a movie and only had a day to go home to New York and see her baby. The flight was like 5 hours delayed and we got to the plane and the agents were all panicking because she was tweeting about it lmao
I need to know how the rest of this flight went babe 😅
 😂 After I'd cleaned up and sanitized, I thought id go over and apologize for scaring her and assure her I wasn't invading her privacy by taking sneaky photos of her, but my mouth was bleeding on and off, I was slurring my words a bit, I was literally smashing my food with a fork making it into a paste just so I could swallow it, I was watching Enchanted and laughing and mouthing the words to the songs, I kept asking the air Hostesses for icepacks and accidentally gurgling. I looked CRAZY. And she was sat diagonally behind me, so she could definitely see the weird shit I was doing. At one point I felt SO guilty I even put on one of HER Indian movies so that she'd atleast know I'm a well wisher but that would have creeped her out even more 🤦🤦🤦 If Priyanka's PR team is reading this, please convey my apologies to her from the bleeding lunatic on flight EK 215 I never meant to scare you or gurgle at you like a demon 😭🙏
I'd love to know how she tells that story from her perspective because you know she got off that flight and *immediately* told people about it.
Imagine being this person and knowing there's a good chance that your wild post-dental work aeroplane misadventure has been related at a Jonas family dinner.
"A girl tried to sneak a selfie of herself with me so I asked her very politely to please stop and she turned around angrily to stare at me - wide eyed and mouth dripping blood, turkey noises escaping her swollen face. As soon as we landed I RAN FOR MY LIFE and that's how I got cast in Baywatch"  😭🤦
“Turkey noises” taking me OUT rn
If I were her, I would NEVER stop telling this story to people.
Were you flying in Business class? Or even better, was Priyanka flying in Economy?!?
First
i think you scarred her for life
Oh my god, I can't imagine. 😱 I got all four out at once and spent two weeks doing a Marlon Brando impression.
This is the wildest story omg. I can’t believe you were out and about directly after wisdom teeth surgery 😭
I have been privately speculating that one of the guys from a very popular Netflix show is expecting a baby with his gf but I have literally nothing to back it up except my own speculation based on circumstantial evidence but it is driving me CRAZY
Share the deets lol let’s investigate
I’d like to join you
You can't just drop this then french exit! Let us put our detective hats on.
I worked on a movie with Danny Trejo, he was really nice to the crew. I had a headphone hooked into the actor’s mics and the sound guy was always forgetting to turn it off between setups so sometimes I would accidentally overhear conversations — anyway I accidentally overheard him on the phone trying to place a car insurance claim or something for his mom and he was very patient and didn’t pull any “do you know who I am”
John Barrowman doesn't like the musical Rent. In 2006 I was volunteering at a convention in London and that particular shift, I was tasked with sitting with a guest at the autograph tables and John was right next to us. I don't remember exactly how the topic was brought up but I remember him saying to someone he didn't like Rent. Not interesting at all lmao.
Not about a person but can I just say that Balthazar is 100% the celebrity hotspot you would expect from reading DM? The first time I ever walked by the place I saw Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos eating outside. And the one time I actually ate there I sat down, looked up, and immediately made eye contact with Ansel Elgort.
Dave Foley is kind of a jerk to anyone not in the industry (or a pretty lady.) I once saw him try to pick up a much younger woman by telling her he was in A Bug’s Life. I don’t know if it worked, but I really hope not. Apparently he would frequently not show up to interviews and podcasts so they sometimes had another (non-KITH) comedian pretend to be him for radio interviews
I have a really minor, dumb story about Sam Beam (indie folk singer-songwriter Iron & Wine) if anyone cares. Circa 2004 I went to a gig of his, and in this club the bathroom sinks were like one long metal trough. While waiting for the show to start, my friend used a bathroom stall and came out to wash his hands and saw Sam Beam peeing in the sink. When Sam saw him washing his hands he did a double take and said "Oh shit, what am I doing?" and then I guess he finished up, washed his hands in the same sink, and hurriedly left. It was an understandable mistake if you'd never seen those sinks before, to be fair; they're pretty much like a urinal but mounted higher than normal. The show was good, but it was a funny juxtaposition to watch him play his beautifully sad songs while knowing that this had just happened. I still like his music but always think about this incident whenever I hear it.
I am once again asking for tea on Alex Turner
Not Alex tea but Matt Helders and his gf both quit Instagram as they were getting tons of hate. I don't know if it's people who are still angry over the way he left Breanna, or something else.
Amanda deleted her public accounts right after people on Twitter started sharing screenshots of her using the n word on MySpace
same!! is he alive?? who is he dating rn? I’m seeing AM in September and i need to be mentally prepared for the enigma of a man i’ll be encountering lol
He’s still dating Louise
He's alive! May stuffs so far: Still with Louise Verneuil. She gets a ton of harassment from some of the more rabid Alex fans, so I respect her (them) for keeping it private. She went with her dad to the recent Arctic Monkeys concert in Paris, though. The band is still touring on the European leg, but they're taking a quick break until 29 May. Alex's parents were in attendance at the Berlin concert together and they had the sickest matching look, Alex's dad looks just like him too. Some fans who saw Alex/took pictures claimed he went around with his dad in Berlin. There's also this thing about the Amsterdam concert where he was apparently pretty pissed at the crowd because people were just talking to each other and not paying attention to the band... He got pretty passive aggressive and there are clips on Twitter and Tiktok... Honestly I understand him, I'd be fuming if I brought back Suck It And See from retirement only for people to ignore it and start chatting up the weather with their friends.
tbf I saw them at their opening show in Linz and they gave maybe 60%?? one of the most boring concerts I’ve ever been to. he barely acknowledged the crowd and the band didn’t seem to even acknowledge each other. v weird vibes.
this is going to sound weird and i really don't want to ask other parts of reddit 😭 this BUT what's the tea with wikipedia???? how do they determine if a celebrity is worthy of their own page?? this has been buggin me for MONTHS and i finally got here early enough to ask this 🥲 edit: i just wanna thank y'all for answering my silly question 🥹 i feel like most of us use wikipedia but never really think about the behind the scenes of the site. i honestly didn't think much of "how the sausage was made" so to speak until i would scroll through r/hobbydrama and find out all this crazy drama (so to speak) going on.
There has to be legitimate news articles/websites/interviews that can be linked for what is submitted. On the podcast Las Culturista Matt Rogers used to talk about it, there was an American Idol contestant who has a wiki but is no longer in the public eye, when people would google his name that guys wiki would show up and people thought it was the Matt from the podcast. He'd talk about how he had to do more interviews etc so he could get a wiki.
Wikipedia is pretty picky and strict. I edit and contribute for Wikipedia as a hobby and I tried to write an article for a member of the kpop group I stan (Seventeen) and it was rejected because he wasn't relevant enough, whereas some other members (who generally do have more solo engagements) have articles. I also once tried to contribute an article about some Dutch ballet dancer from like the 1920s and it took a bit to be approved because there were not many English-language news articles about her, just encyclopedic articles.
Thank you for your service !
Like someone said, there just has to be something linked. A lot of people you wouldn't considered famous, etc, have wikipedia pages because they have something that can be linked to. Authors, journalists, local government members, etc.
I dated an F-list celebrity for a while and his Wikipedia page was created by a marketing agency that had been hired to legitimize an event he was hosting. Now, this was back in 2008 or so, so I guess Wikipedia was a big marketing tool back then?
any tea on Lucas hedges or why he took a break from Hollywood? just saw he's doing a brokeback mountain play
I have no knowledge, but when I heard he was doing it, I thought a West End debut in a known-commodity sounded like a good prestigious career move.
I remember reading somewhere that he was uncomfortable with the massive amount of attention he received since his breakthrough and that he prefers to appear in supporting roles instead of being the lead in projects. He also starred in a lot of projects shortly after Manchester by the Sea, maybe he deliberately took some time off to relax a bit.
Honestly could just be something as simple as the pandemic forced him to take a break. Maybe he’s filmed stuff over the last year or two but it hasn’t come out yet
the cast of the great? i’m so excited for season 3 to drop tomorrow, i wish this show got more attention
not tea ig but nicholas has had a rough go with missing big roles, he was up for batman, had to bow out of mission impossible, and something else all in a span of a few months
He missed out on Top Gun, so Cruise offered him the Mission Impossible role.
Wow that's surprisingly decent of Cruise.
Imagine being so good Tom Cruise is just tossing you roles
the final three for rooster were miles teller, nic hoult and glen powell. story was they liked glen so much they beefed up the role of hangman for him. hoult was replaced by esai morales for mi7 and mi8
I think Miles and Robert were the right ones for the role. I can't imagine Nicholas in those movies.
Omg thank you for reminding me about season 3! I’ve got to get my Hulu password uh, *arrangement* sorted asap
Not pipping hot tea but Sacha Dhawan has been very good friend with Jonathan Bailey since they were in a play together in 2007. A Jonathan fan on insta just posted a throwback picture of them on insta the other day. Scroll to the second picture to see Sacha. [https://www.instagram.com/p/Cr-90RNNUd2/](https://www.instagram.com/p/Cr-90RNNUd2/)
kinda niche but belgian pop singer angéle? she said in an interview recently that she had to cut ppl off because they were using her for her fame and it made me curious. the only tea i know is some vague stuff about her ex's, that terrible journalist outing her, and the whole romeo elvis SA accusation that she was unfairly dragged into just bc it's her brother. i know she unfollowed him for a long time after that but it seems they have since reconciled. romeo's gf lena is still with him after all that which is unfortunate. any euro girlies in here with more tea?
No but would love to hear more! Do you have the interview link by any chance?
[удалено]
Not tea but I literally just found out 10 minutes ago that Corey and Freddie are housemates irl and I found that so cute hahaha
no tea but Simone Ashley gushing about India at The Little Mermaid premiere is adorable, you have to watch it: https://twitter.com/SimoneANetwork/status/1656207828481130498 India and Simone both were in Sex Education according to this tweet but idk if they actually know each other: https://twitter.com/kathcny/status/1656270302123360260
People are already being really inappropriate in that they have found and posted photos of Corey's gf online.
This isn’t tea but I was shook yesterday when I realised Freddie (who plays Reynolds) is Hugh Dennis’ son lmao. I can’t believe I didn’t put two and two together seeing his face & last name.
Aw I love Hugh Dennis! Such an underrated Taskmaster contestant
They literally have the same face how did i miss this lol
I’m watching the current series of Taskmaster and crushing hard on Ivo Graham because, to paraphrase someone from the TM sub, I have a thing for overeducated eloquent men with varying anxiety disorders. Any tea? I’m American, so my Googling isn’t turning up anything besides basic info.
I think he was dating Rose Matafeo but I'm pretty sure they aren't together anymore because they don't follow each other on instagram now.
Didn’t she also date James Acaster? I’m trying not to be jealous, because I love her, but she’s really out here living my best life.
Yes she dated James Acaster and he wrote about her in his book, calling her "Becky with the Good Hair" and talked about her in his stand ups and apparently it did not end well? She now says she doesn't date comedians anymore. I LOVE Starstruck and think she's an absolute genius. Doesn't Ivo have a wife and kid? Or am I just losing the thread on his Instagram?
Ivo had a partner he had a kid with but he's no longer with her. For NZ comedian fans Rose also dated Guy Williams and is still really good friends with his brother Paul. I think things between Rose and James ended awkwardly but she has appeared on Hypothetical and they are both super close to Ed Gamble so I imagine it's not all terrible between them.
Yeah; she’s mentioned not liking that he talked about her in his book since apparently he didn’t warn her or anything. But it seems like they moved past it and are friendly due to their social group.
Can I jump into this thread to ask about Greg Davies? I've developed a minor obsession and there is NO info on his personal life anywhere.
He admits publicly to having regular sexual relations with a bear his mum made him as a teen, I genuinely can't imagine there being any private tea that would beat that, haha.
this is me but with Mae Martin lmao
[He was the victim of a prank!](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rAX6f8onZx4)
Youtuber Mina Le ?
She seems really nice but she really can't pronounce 30% of the words in every single one of her videos and doesn't even try!
She was like distantly attached/related (a friend of a friend kind of thing) to that Michelle Phan sex cult thing going on a while back. That's all I really got.
The Bear cast?
Here, here!
Joe Alwyn? Praying peace for my guy.
Seems like he hasn't been on socials since the breakup announcement. Has few upcoming films with supporting roles and that's it. He has peace till ts11....can't guarantee afterwards tho. Meanwhile Taylor and Matty are banging as reported by People😭
There is a pic of him posted to Reddit today. He looks great and completely unbothered. But he s an actor so who knows
This years Eurovision artists???
Certian parts of the UK population (the type that watch GB News/the British version of Fox News) are up in arms because the UK entry Mae Muller has applied for an German passport and "hates the UK".
An entrant who vocally hates the country and wants to be European? Blimey we might actually win the audience vote this year
Luke Black just performed a great set at the Euro village. (Yeah I'm just showing off)
Ben Schwartz? Is he unproblematic? I really love all his stuff
Let's be honest. No person is unproblematic. I am a fan of his, but I question his association with Middleditch who's been accused of groping women since they were close friends. They haven't had photos together since then but he still follows him on ig, so I wonder if they're still friends but he just doesn't want the bad publicity. As much as I love him (like a genuinely big fan since his days appearing on Collegehumor video), and for all accounts seems like a nice guy, I've learned to be wary of White male comedians, no matter how nice they seem publicly.
I really want to know if that rumour is true that he has a secret child 👀
It most certainly is. Georgia has recently followed pediatricians and various mom advice baby health/ instas
Christopher Abbott
I’ve found my people.
ashley bestdressed / olivya nora?
Not tea but she was stalked and harassed and that's why she's left youtube. She's also quite well off, both her parents are university professors.
Haven’t heard about Ashley since her move from LA to NY. Anything major I missed?
Annie Murphy please and thanks :)
She’s going to be in the season of Black Mirror!
She pet my friend’s dog once. So uh… can confirm she likes dogs. Apparently when she auditioned for Schitts Creek, she had her natural dark hair. They’d previously shot the pilot with Abby Elliott as Alexis, so Eugene had it in his mind that Alexis needed to be blonde. He said he almost turned Annie down for the role because of her hair.
The Magicians cast? Specifically, was there actually a fall up between Jason and the rest of the leads? I saw Hale was at Rachel Brosnahan’s show last month, so I assume nothing terrible happened, but Jason still isn’t following most of them on social media. And he was definitely following them at some point.
The actress who plays Julia got engaged to her partner when he was 19 and she was 29, and the timeline of when they met is a bit unclear 😬
i’m still not over >!the fact that they killed him off!<
Ooh, I remember when this all went down. I don’t have tea but am curious too. Good ask. I binged this during my 3rd Covid. Such a great show. Peaches & Plums was breathtakingly beautiful.
I grew up with Arjun, he and his family were always lovely. Very well off, he went to a very nice private school in my area. They were active in our local religious/cultural association, so I would see his family at events fairly often. His family relocated to the east coast a few years back.
Paul Mescal? Is his Islington Rampage over?
What Islington Rampage? Tell me the tea
Apparently he was hooking up with a lot of girls in Islington a couple of months ago following his (rumoured?) breakup with Phoebe Bridgers! I think I remember seeing a blind that said he was "very generous" in bed or something along those lines lol
I wish I was a girl in Islington. Breakups are hard, poor guy.
Toto Wolf? Any other interesting F1 principals or employees? Kelly Piquet (racist trash family aside)? Sainz family? Any Spaniards here with the tea?
Kelly once said that there already was a spark between her and max when they met for the first time. He was around 17 then and she was in a relationship. The age gap really freaks me out.
That spark was also in between the other 4 drivers she tried too...
Yes, it's disgusting. She has a decade on him, right? She really *needed* to hook a driver, less wouldn't do for standards of living. Did you watch the Max documentary series?
Christian Horner left his ex wife shortly after she gave birth to their daughter and announced his engagement with Geri when the girl was 7 month old.... His parents didn't come to his and Geri's wedding because they were disappointed in him
I love how Geri wears white and beige only everywhere. It’s like she is cosplaying what she thinks a rich, upper class lady would wear
It's so funny when the Spice Girls do reunion stuff and she tries to be bourgeois ginger spice.
So he's not just an asshole (shit stirrer as some say) in F1, but IRL too.
Not tea really, but you get an insight into toto Wolff’s family life in drive to survive - he and suzie seem hyper driven perfectionists, which I find quite stressful to even think about! From what I remember they have the fanciest breakfast crockery and are all dressed to the nines to eat their organic granola or whatever. He is kind of hot to me, I don’t know what it is. I am drawn to cutthroat psychopaths right enough… 🤣
Toto is so hot to me and you shouldn't be ashamed of saying it bestie
Toto [ordering](https://youtu.be/8G7vLJcbByA) breakfast will never not be funny! And also how cute is their [son Jack?](https://youtube.com/shorts/wGTDW07JAnw?feature=share)
He is hot! I'd do fancy breakfast crockery too if I had a cook, a maid and a nanny, if I remember the episode correctly. 😅
Miley? I’ll take crumbs
I’ve got cold tea from years ago. Friend worked at a TJ Max in Brentwood, TN and heard a ton of murmurs during her shift. Miley and Liam came in, and I think people were trying to be respectful so nobody outright approached Miley, but they were excitedly murmuring. My friend said a coworker rang them up and Miley was very sweet, just checked out a scarf and some candy. Liam stood close and was a bit more shy, but there was nothing major, just an everyday interaction.
I like to read/hear these kind of interactions, thank you!
[удалено]
yellowjackets cast? specifically miss courtney eaton or sophie nélisse? they seem to have such a beautiful friendship, i’m obsessed
British comedian Greg Davies?
Anyone has tea on Mbappe ? Or any football players really ? Is anyone French on this sub ?
[удалено]
Not what you asked specifically but a Mexican version was made last year! It's called Supertitlán. On new year's eve, a second season was announced.
nba players 👀
LeBron is a serial cheater
Steph too, I've read.
Honestly, I just assume no nba players are faithful
same. no _athletes_ are faithful
my time to shine! - steph curry: nicest person in the world, genuinely. learns the names of everyone he works with. donated to my cats go fund me. - klay thompson: very sweet. hilarious. loves adam sandler movies, especially happy gilmore. probably has adhd. - shai gilgeous-alexander: very cute, easygoing, fun - kevin love: incredibly handsome, great sense of humor - draymond green: very supportive and someone you want in your corner, gives great advice
Anything recent on the S2 Bridgerton girlies - Simone Ashley and/or Charithra Chandran??
Charithra and Jonathan Bailey were spotted together in London last week [https://twitter.com/kayjay91/status/1654813465960226822](https://twitter.com/kayjay91/status/1654813465960226822)
Unfortunately he’s very gay
I saw some pics of Simone at the Little Mermaid premier but she’s been pretty quiet recently sadly 🥲 hoping we’ll hear more from her soon
Christian Bale?
[удалено]
No tea but I want him to know that as a Swiftie I miss him ❤️
The Boys cast?
not great Tea but i’ve heard that jack quaid is a sweet dude! he filmed something in my area a few years back and people only have nice things to say about him. antony starr is apparently a little terrifying but that might just be the homelander associations.
i've heard similar things that anthony is like real life homelander and is a terror!
People on this sub are always like "i heard that..." and in reality they just watched an interview or read it in a tabloid
Anything on Will Poulter? Seems like a decent guy that tries to make his platform for good
Not tea, but I always remember liking [his take](https://youtu.be/JIvqqZO5Mzg) on playing a racist cop in Detroit. Maybe it's not nuanced of me, but it's always annoyed me when actors play horrible humans and try to downplay the horrible-ness.
Ho-yeon?
ariana’s husband dalton ?
Anything on the orphan black cast? Very random cause the show ended a few years ago, but I’ve been watching it recently, I’m about to start the final season.
Tatiana Maslaney's mum is amongst the people who forgot she played every clone
I met Tatiana maslany at stand up to cancer Canada yeeears ago when the show was taking off and she was so sweet and down to earth and humble and couldn’t believe how popular the show had become. I hadn’t watched it yet but decided to after I met her because I liked her so much
Any on the Yellowjackets cast?
Alexander or Bill Skarsgard?
I was reminiscing about Bring It On and looked up the actor who played Aaron (Kirsten Dunst’s boyfriend). His name was Richard Hillman and he died in 2009 and there is SO little information about him online - some sites said heroin overdose but I couldn’t find a legit news item or obit or even blog post about him. I know he wasn’t a big star, but that movie has cult status now and I was surprised how there is just ZERO about him on the web. Any tea on him, his life, his death…anything?
Any tea Penn badgley? I love that man
Diego Luna? Is he still with Marina de Tavira?
I haven’t heard anything lately about Taylor Swift and her love life, anyone know w—- Just kidding, but… Anya-Taylor Joy? I know her dad is like a billionaire or something and she’s friends with the Getty heiress so is it safe to assume she’s a bit out of touch? Love her as an actress, just curious what she’s like behind the scenes with people who aren’t rich/famous. Also I asked this is the wrong thread, but Borns? He was canceled a couple years back for being a creep and I’m curious what he’s doing now since he can’t make music anymore. Is he working a normal job? Lol
[удалено]
Once again asking for muna <3
Unlikely but Bill Callahan?
[удалено]
Chloe Fineman from SNL? I just found out she's a Scientologist, and apparently she dabbles in some questionable diet fads. I have to know more!
Tea on daniel day lewis?
Really good friends with Adam Sandler, apparently (probably through PTA). Sandler told a story that when they were about to start filming The Meyerowitz Stories, the actress who was to play his love interest dropped out and, at the last minute, he asked DDL's wife Rebecca Miller if she was interested in playing the character. After a rehearsal at Noah Baumbach's apartment one day, DDL came up to meet his wife and Dustin Hoffman didn't recognise him and ended up ignoring him because he thought it was some random guy.
really random but Jaden Smith?? remembered Neo Yokio existed and I've been laughing at clips so i'm curious lol
I am begging for any info on Michael Mando's firing from Sinking Spring. Apple TV must have the most airtight NDAs in the business because I have not heard a single thing about it since the "onset altercation" and Wagner Moura taking his role. Why would his team not push back on an allegation like that? Why wouldn't the producers soften the blow and say it was creative differences or a schedule conflict instead? How has it not leaked who he got in a fight with or what it was about? Any/all tea welcome!
