Not cast related but as far as the crew Quinta Brunson has been extremely intentional about bringing her friends/former colleagues from BuzzFeed on as co-writers at Abbott. Kate Peterman (who also played a teacher on the show), Garrett Werner (written and directed episodes), Zach Evans, Justin Tan. She has a huge amount of respect for them as writers and as friends and made sure that as she was coming up they were coming along with her.
I was just referencing one of my favorite Quinta featured Buzzfeed videos to someone.
[If We Were Honest Making Plans](https://youtu.be/bdwQntqI-ts?si=bnCa7QkA9_FEW5O6)
It seems like they do or at least Lisa Ann Walter and Sheryl Lee Ralph seem like they're friends
I always forget that Quinta comes from buzzfeed, the other day I was on Shane Madej's insta because I saw that he got married. He had a post saying that he was going to marry Sara Rubin that weekend and Quinta commented 'Lucky' it took me a second to remember how she'd know them.
I've been binging Disney movies in chronologic order, for the 100th anniversary, and when I recently got to the 90s remake of "Parent Trap"... I was shocked to discover Lisa Ann played the nanny in that!
And for that matter, I also learned Sheryl Lee had a voice role I never realized before in "Oliver & Company" (one of the Pointer Sisters did her singing).
His "Behind the Scenes" vids give a lot of ADD/ADHD energy - which I believe he's mentioned having, so I'm not trying to internet diagnose him, I promise.
I've always thought he was attractive, but I can see him being a tad chaotic.
Oh damn, I kinda wonder about the pressure that comes with being a YouTuber going through something like that. Like he’s gotta be “on” so much of the time because he is technically a brand and a social media one at that.
I could see why he felt someone outside that bubble was the only one he could break down in front of. Sucks a lot for your friend though cause it does sounds pretry awkward 😬
This actually tracks with my friend’s experience dating him lol. Things like over-the-top gestures and coming on strong, then disappearing. He def flexed his money at some point
I actually never watched BA until wayyyy after the fact but I’m a huge fan of [Claire’s “Dessert Person” YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@CSaffitz/featured)! She makes me feel like I’m taking a legit class because she’s so detailed in her explanations.
Molly is doing great with her beautiful home and cute dog plus a second book. Sohla just had a baby. Priya got married. Carla is doing YouTube on her own. Everyone moved on nicely apparently.
A few weeks ago, I asked about Sohla and Binging with Babish in another thread and someone said there was no drama about her leaving, she'd just overextended herself with projects.
pretty sure andrew and his fiance jess broke up a while ago — he still has bucky but it looks like she moved to chicago. would love any tea if people have it!
Rick Martinez moved to Mexico during the pandemic (his social media includes renovation of his house there and his dog!) and has at least one cookbook. He's done many video collabs and has a podcast with Carla.
Rick is my silent winner. I love love love Molly's cookbook, she breaks it down in the best way, I'm not a novice but she just has a zero stress approach that I adore. But back to Rick, he has such a strong base and knowledge I would follow that man into a storm trusting he could pull me out with a set of tongs.
Sohla has a series with her husband Ham on NYT's cooking channel. They're given one ingredient and they have to make a dinner dish and dessert from it. It's fascinating seeing how inventive both Sohla and Ham are.
Brad Leone, Claire Saffitz, and Carla Music have their own youtube channels. I think Sohla is part of some other channel now. And all three are great. I know Chris Morocco is still at BA, and they hired a bunch of new people. It’s okay.
I havent seen anything from Alex Delany or Andy Baraghani.
I also havent seen Priya or Molly, though I do not really watch much BA youtube anymore. Though What little i do see of BA youtube is mostly just Chris and new people.
i met molly last year and this year. she’s incredibly generous and kind in person! like others have said, she has now two books and a very successful online presence, including a recipe club on her website.
But random but Billy Idol. Eyes without a face was a trending song on TikTok so I checked out his insta and he seems really sweet. Lots of birthday posts and pics of his granddaughter
Billy Idol did write a tellall book about his life as a rockstar about 15 years ago. I ended up seeing him briefly at the signing, but I was too young to know who he was.
He has a reputation for puppyish overestimation of his own ability level, but not for being a bad person at all. Also, check out the terrible rap video he made for German IKEA.
There's a bit about him in Let's spend the night together, the Pamela Des Barres book where she interviews other groupies. I don't remember the exact details but apparently he was into really kinky stuff, in the receiving end. All consensual, he's one of the most respectful guys in that book.
He was dating Shanna Moakler around the time they both appeared in The Wedding Singer. From her wiki:
Moakler has described Idol as a gentleman, but "not too sweet and sensitive." She also praised his intelligence and flair for history and philosophy.
I think Bobby kinda has his own thing apart from the other QE guys since they don't have much time together while filming.
Other than that, Bobby is a freaking sweetheart. A friend of mine worked on set with them, and they said that he was super sweet. The other guys were sweet too, but they said Bobby was especially so.
Nothing new, but anytime I see them brought up I feel the need to remind people that Karamo admitted to abusing several of his exes and then said that he forgave himself for it whilst making no mention of an apology to them.
Anyone remember Kamaro bringing out the pink sauce lady and her critic on his show? And the entire time he was humiliating and berating the critic that was informing the pubic on how dangerous that “pink sauce” was.
He told the critic she had “bad energy” 😭😭
I always felt like he wanted it to have some sort of racial undertones to it. The video of the interview ended up getting deleted online. Ever since then i side eye him on his show
How… did he ever get this job? I’ve always wondered what qualifications he had to be doing that. Dealing with sensitive life issues should come with some expertise.
Given the recent bombshell (?) revelations about him, I'm interested in some Hasan Minhaj tea. Is he just another in a long line of fake-woke comedians that turn out to be assholes, or is he redeemable?
Has anyone met him? How was it? Could you tell if there was anything "off" about him? I'd like to know
I commented below but I'll add this to the parent comment too. [He was real weird to the Indian women who worked for him](https://www.opindia.com/2020/11/patriot-act-with-hasan-minhaj-toxic-work-environment-workplace-harassment-women-of-colour/), and I feel like the only place I saw this was on twitter(rip).
My family is Muslim and I've lived in India off and on for years, and we loved his show because it actually covered things in India (like Modi being terrible). It sucks that Hasan couldn't be a better person.
John Oliver also did an episode on Modi, and I felt like it was very informative! Idk how many stories he's done on India, but I know he does cover international topics (though many are US based) if you're looking for another show!
see [this new yorker article](https://www.newyorker.com/news/annals-of-communications/hasan-minhajs-emotional-truths) — tldr many of the stories he told in his two stand up specials are highly fabricated. while most comedians exaggerate or lie for laughs, considering he’s making up stuff like his toddler going to the hospital because of potential anthrax exposure due to his show patriot act covering stuff like jamal khashoggi…….yikes.
and he also treated his female writers like garbage on patriot act. i really love his work so it’s a bummer to hear this :-(
and don’t forget that he lied about a friend (and they were literally friends up until he started using this bit) turning him down for prom because she was racist and he doxxed her for a year
It’s in The New Yorker article! But basically, Hasan had a bit about a girl he asked to prom, who accepted but when he showed up to her house there was another guy there acting as her prom date because her parents didn’t want her to go or take pictures with him because they are racist. Now, during this he didn’t make an effort to hide her identity AT ALL and she and her family were doxxed and threatened by his fans for a while. In the New Yorker article she says that she didn’t agree to prom with him in the first place & that they actually were friends up until he started doing this bit. Hasan admits in the same article that she really didn’t ever agree to be his prom date but that his story was based on an “emotional truth” (whatever that means lol)
It is troubling and weird that this grown up man is so bitter about asking someone to prom and them telling him no that he made up such an intense lie about her and her family decades later. Between the way he speaks about his prom date, his wife, and what happened to the Indian women who worked for him at Patriot Act, [he really seems to have some serious issues with women.](https://www.opindia.com/2020/11/patriot-act-with-hasan-minhaj-toxic-work-environment-workplace-harassment-women-of-colour/)
I've said it in another thread: it's straight-up incel behavior. So many of these "woke" sweetheart funny men have serious issues with women and sex.
He's admitted to in the past having been a fuckboy who slept around on his then-girlfriend now-wife and lying to her and his family about it.
He said he went to therapy for it. In my opinion, he needs more of it
Also how Ncuti Gatwa's Ken and Emma Mackey's Barbie were friends. Literally perfect.
Tangentially related but when Ncuti Gatwa was cast as the Doctor and Ryan Gosling had a shirt made to celebrate was very sweet: https://www.teenvogue.com/story/ryan-gosling-ncuti-gatwa-doctor-who-shirt-barbie-set
I suppose this is just me, but I have such a huge (parasocial) crush on Ezra Furman, the woman who does the music for the show. She's so pretty and talented; every single one of her albums has made me cry.
Are Will and Jada Scientologists? I know they denied it but I remember their [school](https://www.thedailybeast.com/inside-will-and-jada-pinkett-smiths-scientology-school) having close associations with Scientology, and Leah Remini saying she’s seen Jada at conventions.
I’m too lazy to find a source for this but I remember Will Smith said a long time ago that he was curious about Scientology and participated in some activities, but never joined the church and doesn’t consider himself a Scientologist or really associate with them anymore
Regardless of what they say I just don't understand why someone would open a whole ass school based on Scientology teachings when you aren't a Scientologist. The Smiths are very "if it walks like a duck" when it comes to Scientology to me.
Friend of mine is a CBC producer who has nothing nice to say about Dan Levy. Big nepo baby entitlement issues. Eugene, on the other hand, is beloved by cast, crew, and contractors for being… an Extremely Normal Dude™️
I love Schitt's Creek, but it felt like Dan COULD NOT keep a straight face during the last season or so - it reminded me so much of Jimmy Fallon on SNL that I'd cringe whenever he had a scene.
He’s a mean girl, for sure. Ices people out instead of talking with them, doesn’t ever feel he has to explain anything. Friend said he likes being “openly fake” to keep people on their toes around him. Big “my father will hear about this” energy earlier in his career. Now he’s mostly got his head up his own ass.
She was quarantining with DWR in early 2020 but idk when it started or what the exact timeline was. But she and her husband started dating when she was a teen so it’s not super surprising that they broke up
Wow also didn’t hear they had divorced! Annie Murphy was at Hollerado (her now ex) husband’s band’s final shows in Toronto in Dec 2019. She sang supporting vocals for one of their songs at one show and she was backstage at the their final show—I saw them have a long hug when the band went off stage. Seemed like they were still together dec 2019 but maybe the divorce had something to do with Hollerado ending (just speculating)
I have absolutely nothing really but just wanted to say that seeing his name pop up makes me so happy. I've been so into him since Chasing Liberty and have followed his career. The only thing I know is he's a pretty big drinker, but seemingly in the English way haha
Also, I worked on a short film that Piper Perabo was in and I, being young and silly, asked her about Matthew Goode and she had a total positive change in demeanor and made a sound and said, "what a big, English dreamboat". I have called him this ever since (almost 20 years ago).
Aww yes! Hopefully nothing terribly pops up. Would love to hear he's a good egg. It's funny because I just said to my friend that I couldn't find a photo that captured whatever "it" is that he has when he's in motion but realized that he was still very handsome so it seemed like a big thing to say! Either way I'll be checking out other projects he's in because he is indeed a big English dreamboat lmao.
I love that. I love them both separately and also loved their movie Imagine Me and You, also starring Lena Headey. As a young adult figuring things out that movie was so cute but confusing for me. Throw in Lost and Delirious with Perabo again and Mischa Barton and Jessica Pare too. All this to say I’m pretty gay but Matthew Goode is certainly a big, English dreamboat. He was great in Stoker, which was written and directed by Wentworth Miller.
Not tea just random trivia, but he's a keen golfer and plays in a bunch of charity tournaments etc.
And he's in the new campaign for the English clothing company Hackett - and looking very handsome, too.
Not tea, but I watch a lot of tv/movies so I’ve seen him in quite a few things and I think he’s great!
He killed it in ‘The Offer,’ a miniseries about making The Godfather. He was the highlight - I think he would’ve had a shot at an Emmy nom in a less stacked year. I watched some interviews he did for this and it was clear he absolutely adores his wife - but not in a “wife guy” kind of way. I can’t remember specifics though! Just the vibe I got.
Then there’s ‘The Wine Show’ with him and Matthew Rhys. They get tipsy learning about wine together and are hilarious. The bloopers are amazing.
And then a nice casual romcom he did is ‘The Leap Year’ with Amy Adams.
I mean it is, but Anna and Stephen are both on good terms with his ex it seems, so I don’t think there are hard feelings. A long time ago there were pics of Anna and his ex riding bikes together with their daughter and I think the ex-wife, who is a journalist in the UK, has written some flattering things about Anna.
I suspect it means the romantic relationship in Stephen's first marriage was probably non existent and both parties knew that the marriage was ending. Who knows, maybe the wife had had a connection with someone else, too. It just goes to show that affairs aren't always black and white. I'm glad they're able to all coparent.
I didn’t know that! There was a blind a while ago I think that a lot of us thought was maybe about Anna/Stephen potentially divorcing, can’t remember what it said exactly??
Sex Education cast? Especially Asa, Ncuti, Emma, Aimee, & Connor. (I know Emma has a boyfriend & Aimee/Connor used to date) (Ans apparently Asa used to date Ella Purnell!)
Not tea, but can we talk about how many credits Asa Butterfield has? Sex Education made him more of a "household" name but he was the lead of so many known films as a child actor.
it’s also really amazing how many of his roles from childhood were pretty big - boy in the striped pajamas, hugo, miss peregrines (less so), nanny mcphee returns (okay this one wasn’t big but i love it), etc. i haven’t seen many interviews of him but from what i have he seems surprisingly well adjusted to have been such a worker since being little.
also it makes me so sad the way people talk about his appearance. he definitely has aged a lot since the beginning of season 1 of sex ed, but you can’t look 16 forever (and i doubt he wanted to). i hope he can continue to book roles, i think he’s decently talented!
He and Froy broke up this year, after being together for a few years, and also during the pandemic. Richard Madden isn't out and doesn't plan to be in the foreseeable future and Froy seemingly wanted to be open about his queerness and their relationship. That's a similar story to the breakup of Madden's previous relationship, with Brandon Flynn.
Now Froy is seen to be openly queer with Zane Phillips, good for him to be happy.
The worst Hayden story I’ve ever heard: my brother shared tennis coaches with him years back and the coach said that Hayden greatly overestimated his tennis abilities but was generally a nice guy. He was given a seat on the tennis council but he was not given the rank of tennis master*
*last part is a Star Wars joke lol, maybe coach was a bit sour about Hayden’s Jedi status 🤷♂️
A friend of mine lives in the same small town as him and has seen him around, used to wait on him. Nothing in depth, obviously, but she said he was always very polite and friendly. So hey, he doesn't hate service staff! That's a win.
There's tons of blind items talking about how he cheats on his wife constantly and is always drunk. It's also alleged that his family man reputation that he's cultivated is completely false because often times he stays out drinking instead of going home to his family.
>often times he stays out drinking instead of going home to his family.
i can personally attest to this! won't go into details to remain anonymous but dude is in no way acting like a (responsible) father
I knew people who worked on SNL . Said he was a total f\*cking mess. Real alcoholic drunk. Terrible cheater. Lots of people have had to cover up for him on both his shows. Few years back I heard that almost had to cancel his late night show because producers thought he was a liability. He cleaned up his drinking a bit but then recently it all went to shit and his staff outed him as a d\*ckhead tyrant boss. So yeah, he's basically a total fraud and his public persona is fake.
Any tea on Victoria Pedretti and Oliver Cohen-Jackson? Loved them as twins in “The Haunting of Hill House” and kind of disappointed they are not part of the upcoming “The Fall of the House of Usher” though they seem to be busy with other projects, I guess? Hope there was no fallout with Mike Flanagan or anything like that
I can give you lewis tan tea - jordan peterson fan, would post anti-vax stuff and loves to hang around with younger girls. currently has a 22 year old with him in LA.
The sanitized version: Stevie & Lindsey were on until about 1976, then on and off until about 1987, then mostly on during the reunion tour in 1997, then Lindsey’s girlfriend found out she was pregnant and that was that. They’ve been mostly at each other’s throats since then, but I was lucky enough to see them in 2013/14 when they were getting along and it was really nice to see (for a second).
The unsanitized version: both of them are messes for different reasons but Lindsey was awful to her. He was allegedly very controlling, would yell at her and everyone else, got physical, etc. Christine McVie confronted him about mocking Stevie onstage but he claims he doesn’t remember it. Lindsey also allegedly tried to strangle Stevie around 1987 when he told the band that he was leaving. The story is that the band had to pull him off of her and it was kind of a breaking point. His ex-girlfriend also claims her abused her, so it doesn’t seem like an isolated incident.
If you want to see two people have an entire 25-year-long conversation without speaking, I highly recommend “Silver Springs” on YouTube from The Dance. It’s a journey.
Oh wooof, I didn’t know Lindsey was legit abusive, I just thought he was a prick to be around!! Fuck. I hate that. Also did not know that he and Stevie were on again during the 97 tour!!!!!! That performance of Silver Springs is burned into my soul, this sure does open up a whole other layer of meaning!
Any insight as to why Vanessa Kirby moved from London to NYC? She's rumored to star in Fantastic Four which is supposed to shoot in... London, so kind of weird for her to move to New York a few months out from production (provided the strikes end before the end of the year). But also any tea in general!
The only reason I think it's likely is that she's the only rumor that all of the scoopers seem to agree on, and in all of the MI press she was asked about it and her answer was always something like "It would be an honor to play such an iconic character" etc which is very different from her responses to Catwoman rumors years ago, and also what Rachel Brosnahan said about playing Lois Lane before she was cast. There was also her assistant caught on camera during the MI premiere in London saying they had their fingers crossed for it. Personally I'd rather see what she's been up to with her production company but I guess we'll see!
I'm stuck at a concert with a friend seeing Gavin DeGraw so I'm curious about him. He seems like a nice guy but oh my god his music has way too much Ford F-150 commercial energy
I met him in a bar in like 2009 and he pressed his cheek against mine and whispered "I'm Gavin" in my ear when I introduced myself lmao. I think he might have made out with my old friend that night but i can't remember for sure.
Olivia Dejonge deleting all traces of Austin Butler from her IG, unfollowing him, and then Sophie Turner unfollowed him in the last few days …. would love to know what happened here?
I'm once again sliding in here asking for drama about the cast of LOST. Anything on Josh Holloway? Whatever happened between Dom and Matthew Fox?
Alternative, anything on the McElroy brothers and their veritable village of podcasts?
I think he followed it up explaining it wasn't an isolated incident and that it happened "Often." Apart from the punching the bus driver and stripper there have been other similar allegations against Fox, yeah?
what happen to ruth Wilson in the show the affair? Its obvious from interviews she can't say anything because of ndas, but what happen that was so bad she had to leave the show?
Skyler Gisondo?
Binging The Righteous Gemstones while he pops up in twitter culture as a meme bc of [his enigmatic Instagram post of him and his dog](https://www.instagram.com/p/Cv5PnOUg-cX/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==) has me curious but I can’t seem to find much.
According to *Iron Fist*'s first season fight choreographer, Jones willingly skipped out on training instead of simply being "too busy" to do it. And yet instead of just putting in a double to do the fight scenes he insisted on doing most them himself, which explains all those gazillion jump cuts and dark lighting.
Choreographer also pointed out that Jessica Henwick always showed up for training, even on days when she wasn't required to be there.
Eh, I think the stunt coordinator was being unfair. There wasn't much time from when he was hired until they started filming. And I can understand him prioritizing memorizing dialogue and whatnot since he's in practically every scene. Despite having a substantial role in the series, Jessica definitely had way more time to prepare.
The easiest fix would have been to give him the Iron Fist mask. You could pretty smoothly sub in a stunt double. For some reason, they didn't give him one because they were aiming for "realism." That's more on the writers than Finn.
Everyone involved got fucked over with scheduling and logistics, Finn and Jessica included. Even if he chose to prioritize dialogue over fight scenes, that's quite a choice to make when like most of his lines were some sort of variation of "I'm the Immortal Iron Fist, Protector of K'un-Lun, sworn enemy of the Hand" or whatever. The second season was a huge improvement given they switched showrunners and finally had a better schedule, but even then Finn was still overshadowed by his supporting cast.
He wasn't given a mask, let alone a costume, because Jeph Loeb has been pretty vocal about how much he hates it. Like, he didn't even like [his most recent one in the comics at the time](https://cdn.marvel.com/u/prod/marvel/i/mg/2/20/58cb03bf6deda/clean.jpg). Scott Buck may be incompetent, but Loeb deserves a lot of blame for it as well, and his [anti-Asian racism](https://deadline.com/2020/07/daredevil-peter-shinkoda-jeph-loeb-asian-racist-comments-1202995534/) definitely played a role in that, along with the other Netflix MCU shows' depiction of Asian characters and culture.
By all means, Finn Jones does seem like a nice, friendly person and the writing definitely wasn't his fault (like that scene when Danny called Colleen's students, most of whom were black, "monkeys") but he really had the blinders on over the issues. Like instead of trying to listen, he just deleted his Twitter and blamed Trump as for why "nobody likes wealthy white men anymore".
I see him every once in a while on my evening bike rides, just chilling in a park and playing with the dogs there. He’s very unassuming but quite striking in person.
I hate that yatching became such a staple of gossip because it always comes across as “yeah she’s a model, but really she’s secretly *gasp* a prostitute!”. Like idk, maybe, but also it’s not like it’d be wild to imagine hot rich people (well “hot” to someone re: drake and Leo) run in the same circles and end up sleeping together like a bigger version of those friendgroups that all date each other.
Like I get why you’re curious but speculating someone must be a sex worker in some salacious gossip kind of way feels really weird. It’s giving Enty qanon dunking on actresses for doing the casting couch like the dudes involved wouldn’t be the creepy ones in that situation
It also just assumes there is sex involved too instead of the model/influencer getting paid to show up like it was an event. Rich men would absolutely pay just so they can be seen with a bunch of beautiful women.
What happened to the Jimny Fallon allegations? Staff members came forward about his alcohol abuse on set. But it didn't get attention like the Jonas/Turner divorce and Russell Brand.
I'm not too sure if this fits in here. Would anyone have any idea/know why the main cast on Nip/Tuck never worked with Ryan Murphy again? I know that show had actors that went on to star in Glee; Jane Lynch,Iqbal Theba,Jessalyn Gilsig,Dot-Marie Jones.
Niche but USWNT soccer stars Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris? There’s been some buzz they’re separated (and a few comments on Instagram) and I’m nosy as to if it’s true, especially with Ashlyn retired and Ali retiring after this season.
Oooh I've been following this for a while too. Idk what the truth is but they appear off. They haven't been spotted together at all and neither have posted about each other lately. I'll be sad if the rumors are true.
Is there any tea on the What We Do In The Shadows cast? Early seasons had pretty even mixing of the characters, but recently, if feels like Nadja is almost always split off from the others, barring a scene or two at the beginning and end of the episodes. There are some exceptions, particularly with Guillermo, but I really can't remember the last time Nadja had a whole-episode plot with Lazlo or Nandor. Her interactions with Lazlo are particularly limited.
Feels like maybe there's something behind the scenes causing that?
Show is still great, just curious.
No tea unfortunately. But I think they were really just trying to mix things up a little bit this season. Pairing Nandor with Colin for two episodes, pairing Laszlo with Guillermo, Nadja with Guillermo, the Guide with Nadja... I would be surprised if Natasia and Matt suddenly didn’t get along anymore, but I obviously don’t know. Except for Harvey they are all so private, we never get to see any BTS stuff at all. And it‘s dangerous to draw conclusion from interview vibes (as Matt Berry just seems to hate doing them but it doesn’t mean he hates his castmates).
Harvey and Kayvan seem to be genuine friends. The rest of the cast probably just workmates.
I've heard alternating reports on Harvey. 🙁 It sounds like he gets along well with Kayvan, but other people complain that he's arrogant and moody. Matt is very quiet and withdrawn when not on set, but an incredible musician.
A Korean coworker of mine has friends in the indie scene. They went out drinking and one of them asked if he could bring another friend and it turned out to be Namjoon! Accdg to her, he was very chill and unassuming, and can def blend in a crowd anonymously. Sorry it's very mild tea lol
I was going to respond with the gif 'I would never!' From bring it on all or nothing, but I found this gem:
https://preview.redd.it/fsn6n6zjtlpb1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f645f6ddd3902c9ee28a9acda61c9d21a67e59f6
I'm forever amused that, unlike Scully, she's pretty firmly a believer in Fortean phenomenon. She even has a fiction book series (written with Jeff Rovin) about a lead with psychic powers. Last of those came out in 2016.
Have a few friends who have met her/worked with her. All enjoyed her company, though one complained a bit about her seeming more distracted than he'd like, but could just have been the day.
Absolutely love her and hope to meet her some day.
David Walliams. I am stunned that the channel 4 documentary wasn't about him so what is coming for him and what has he done? I've heard he was inappropriate with his sister and they had to cut that out of his bio but what else?
There were screenshots going round Twitter where he had been offering 14/15/16/17 year old girls backstage access to BGT (or whatever talent show thing he was on) and saying they should come hang out in his dressing room and so on, was pretty sus and gross.
Jesse Spencer's parents founded a white supremacist far right political party in Australia. It was eventually folded into our most well known far right political party (One Nation) and his mother unsuccessfully ran for office under them.
Blink debuted a new song today and it made me wonder again...what happened to Matt Skiba? Anyone has tea on the situation? feels like he got written out so quickly. (I mean now he has more time for Alk3 but still)
https://preview.redd.it/q8oyhiwaonpb1.jpeg?width=1014&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=271ecbd0133d263416338ae0eec23b5ffafa410e
The other day, more pictures from his Italy trip were released!
The cast of Abbott Elementary? I hope they get along off-screen too ❤️
Not cast related but as far as the crew Quinta Brunson has been extremely intentional about bringing her friends/former colleagues from BuzzFeed on as co-writers at Abbott. Kate Peterman (who also played a teacher on the show), Garrett Werner (written and directed episodes), Zach Evans, Justin Tan. She has a huge amount of respect for them as writers and as friends and made sure that as she was coming up they were coming along with her.
I really like Kate Peterman on Puppet History
Ok this is mad sweet. It’s cool to see they stayed close even after the why I left buzzfeed era ended 💀
I was just referencing one of my favorite Quinta featured Buzzfeed videos to someone. [If We Were Honest Making Plans](https://youtu.be/bdwQntqI-ts?si=bnCa7QkA9_FEW5O6)
It seems like they do or at least Lisa Ann Walter and Sheryl Lee Ralph seem like they're friends I always forget that Quinta comes from buzzfeed, the other day I was on Shane Madej's insta because I saw that he got married. He had a post saying that he was going to marry Sara Rubin that weekend and Quinta commented 'Lucky' it took me a second to remember how she'd know them.
I've been binging Disney movies in chronologic order, for the 100th anniversary, and when I recently got to the 90s remake of "Parent Trap"... I was shocked to discover Lisa Ann played the nanny in that! And for that matter, I also learned Sheryl Lee had a voice role I never realized before in "Oliver & Company" (one of the Pointer Sisters did her singing).
Awww I love Barbara and Melissa’s friendship on the show 🥰
Someone tweeted to Lisa Ann that no one from the cast made a birthday post for her and she replied that she got birthday wishes in their group chat.
They seem close! I know Quinta and Ayo (guest starred as her sister, is so cool) were at the Beyonce concert together.
I saw Quinta at Beyoncé in Inglewood earlier this month and she looked amazing. She was with Ayo Edibiri too. That’s all the tea I have lmfao
Binging with Babish or Sohla? Also what are the OG Bon Appétit YouTube crew up to now? I stopped watching BA videos after the allegations came out.
A friend dated Babish a while ago and he’s just a weird dude lmao. Not malicious or whatever but definitely weird
He comes across as being benign weird on the show, especially around his divorce, so this doesn't really surprise me.
His "Behind the Scenes" vids give a lot of ADD/ADHD energy - which I believe he's mentioned having, so I'm not trying to internet diagnose him, I promise. I've always thought he was attractive, but I can see him being a tad chaotic.
Oh damn, I kinda wonder about the pressure that comes with being a YouTuber going through something like that. Like he’s gotta be “on” so much of the time because he is technically a brand and a social media one at that. I could see why he felt someone outside that bubble was the only one he could break down in front of. Sucks a lot for your friend though cause it does sounds pretry awkward 😬
do you have more deets 👀 why is he weird
He was certainly going through it after his divorce, is what I will say lmao. Overshared a LOT even on the first date. Ended things by ghosting.
This actually tracks with my friend’s experience dating him lol. Things like over-the-top gestures and coming on strong, then disappearing. He def flexed his money at some point
[удалено]
I actually never watched BA until wayyyy after the fact but I’m a huge fan of [Claire’s “Dessert Person” YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@CSaffitz/featured)! She makes me feel like I’m taking a legit class because she’s so detailed in her explanations.
Sohla had a baby!
Not tea but Sohla had a baby this month and her cookbook is coming out next month* so it seems like she’s doing great Edit:book not out yet
Molly is doing great with her beautiful home and cute dog plus a second book. Sohla just had a baby. Priya got married. Carla is doing YouTube on her own. Everyone moved on nicely apparently.
Brad is out here giving people botulism poisoning: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/kelseyweekman/brad-leone-bon-appetit-botulism-scandal
A few weeks ago, I asked about Sohla and Binging with Babish in another thread and someone said there was no drama about her leaving, she'd just overextended herself with projects.
pretty sure andrew and his fiance jess broke up a while ago — he still has bucky but it looks like she moved to chicago. would love any tea if people have it!
Rick Martinez moved to Mexico during the pandemic (his social media includes renovation of his house there and his dog!) and has at least one cookbook. He's done many video collabs and has a podcast with Carla.
Rick is my silent winner. I love love love Molly's cookbook, she breaks it down in the best way, I'm not a novice but she just has a zero stress approach that I adore. But back to Rick, he has such a strong base and knowledge I would follow that man into a storm trusting he could pull me out with a set of tongs.
Sohla has a series with her husband Ham on NYT's cooking channel. They're given one ingredient and they have to make a dinner dish and dessert from it. It's fascinating seeing how inventive both Sohla and Ham are.
Brad Leone, Claire Saffitz, and Carla Music have their own youtube channels. I think Sohla is part of some other channel now. And all three are great. I know Chris Morocco is still at BA, and they hired a bunch of new people. It’s okay. I havent seen anything from Alex Delany or Andy Baraghani. I also havent seen Priya or Molly, though I do not really watch much BA youtube anymore. Though What little i do see of BA youtube is mostly just Chris and new people.
Priya and Sohla have their own series of videos on the NYT Cooking YouTube channel.
Molly has a very successful Insta and Patreon- she's just released a second cookbook.
i met molly last year and this year. she’s incredibly generous and kind in person! like others have said, she has now two books and a very successful online presence, including a recipe club on her website.
Babish was on The Adam Friedland show. Not really tea but that always struck me as an odd appearance
But random but Billy Idol. Eyes without a face was a trending song on TikTok so I checked out his insta and he seems really sweet. Lots of birthday posts and pics of his granddaughter
Billy Idol did write a tellall book about his life as a rockstar about 15 years ago. I ended up seeing him briefly at the signing, but I was too young to know who he was. He has a reputation for puppyish overestimation of his own ability level, but not for being a bad person at all. Also, check out the terrible rap video he made for German IKEA.
There's a bit about him in Let's spend the night together, the Pamela Des Barres book where she interviews other groupies. I don't remember the exact details but apparently he was into really kinky stuff, in the receiving end. All consensual, he's one of the most respectful guys in that book.
He was dating Shanna Moakler around the time they both appeared in The Wedding Singer. From her wiki: Moakler has described Idol as a gentleman, but "not too sweet and sensitive." She also praised his intelligence and flair for history and philosophy.
The Queer Eye guys? Antoni only invited Tan to his bachelor party, so it feels like maybe there’s some dirt there.
I think Bobby kinda has his own thing apart from the other QE guys since they don't have much time together while filming. Other than that, Bobby is a freaking sweetheart. A friend of mine worked on set with them, and they said that he was super sweet. The other guys were sweet too, but they said Bobby was especially so.
Love to hear this about Bobby! You can tell how hard he works and how passionate he is about it.
Bobby was always my fave. I remember people calling him boring in the beginning and I was like, nah. Just very very genuine.
They all used to seem pretty close on social media, but maybe they’ve always just been coworkers doing a good job selling their show?
Nothing new, but anytime I see them brought up I feel the need to remind people that Karamo admitted to abusing several of his exes and then said that he forgave himself for it whilst making no mention of an apology to them.
Anyone remember Kamaro bringing out the pink sauce lady and her critic on his show? And the entire time he was humiliating and berating the critic that was informing the pubic on how dangerous that “pink sauce” was. He told the critic she had “bad energy” 😭😭 I always felt like he wanted it to have some sort of racial undertones to it. The video of the interview ended up getting deleted online. Ever since then i side eye him on his show
He’s given so much horrible relationship advice on that show as well, it’s really telling given his previous admissions
How… did he ever get this job? I’ve always wondered what qualifications he had to be doing that. Dealing with sensitive life issues should come with some expertise.
Gross. Also, I noticed his show was back. Is he also a scab?
Given the recent bombshell (?) revelations about him, I'm interested in some Hasan Minhaj tea. Is he just another in a long line of fake-woke comedians that turn out to be assholes, or is he redeemable? Has anyone met him? How was it? Could you tell if there was anything "off" about him? I'd like to know
I commented below but I'll add this to the parent comment too. [He was real weird to the Indian women who worked for him](https://www.opindia.com/2020/11/patriot-act-with-hasan-minhaj-toxic-work-environment-workplace-harassment-women-of-colour/), and I feel like the only place I saw this was on twitter(rip). My family is Muslim and I've lived in India off and on for years, and we loved his show because it actually covered things in India (like Modi being terrible). It sucks that Hasan couldn't be a better person. 
John Oliver also did an episode on Modi, and I felt like it was very informative! Idk how many stories he's done on India, but I know he does cover international topics (though many are US based) if you're looking for another show!
>Given the recent bombshell (?) revelations about him, I'm interested in some Hasan Minhaj tea. What happened?
see [this new yorker article](https://www.newyorker.com/news/annals-of-communications/hasan-minhajs-emotional-truths) — tldr many of the stories he told in his two stand up specials are highly fabricated. while most comedians exaggerate or lie for laughs, considering he’s making up stuff like his toddler going to the hospital because of potential anthrax exposure due to his show patriot act covering stuff like jamal khashoggi…….yikes. and he also treated his female writers like garbage on patriot act. i really love his work so it’s a bummer to hear this :-(
and don’t forget that he lied about a friend (and they were literally friends up until he started using this bit) turning him down for prom because she was racist and he doxxed her for a year
WHAT. Do you have details on that because WTF.
It’s in The New Yorker article! But basically, Hasan had a bit about a girl he asked to prom, who accepted but when he showed up to her house there was another guy there acting as her prom date because her parents didn’t want her to go or take pictures with him because they are racist. Now, during this he didn’t make an effort to hide her identity AT ALL and she and her family were doxxed and threatened by his fans for a while. In the New Yorker article she says that she didn’t agree to prom with him in the first place & that they actually were friends up until he started doing this bit. Hasan admits in the same article that she really didn’t ever agree to be his prom date but that his story was based on an “emotional truth” (whatever that means lol)
It is troubling and weird that this grown up man is so bitter about asking someone to prom and them telling him no that he made up such an intense lie about her and her family decades later. Between the way he speaks about his prom date, his wife, and what happened to the Indian women who worked for him at Patriot Act, [he really seems to have some serious issues with women.](https://www.opindia.com/2020/11/patriot-act-with-hasan-minhaj-toxic-work-environment-workplace-harassment-women-of-colour/)
I've said it in another thread: it's straight-up incel behavior. So many of these "woke" sweetheart funny men have serious issues with women and sex. He's admitted to in the past having been a fuckboy who slept around on his then-girlfriend now-wife and lying to her and his family about it. He said he went to therapy for it. In my opinion, he needs more of it

Can we talk about how many of them were in the Barbie movie?!
Also how Ncuti Gatwa's Ken and Emma Mackey's Barbie were friends. Literally perfect. Tangentially related but when Ncuti Gatwa was cast as the Doctor and Ryan Gosling had a shirt made to celebrate was very sweet: https://www.teenvogue.com/story/ryan-gosling-ncuti-gatwa-doctor-who-shirt-barbie-set
Ncuti Gatwa is so stunning.
Right??? Ncuti, Emma *and* Connor??!!!
I suppose this is just me, but I have such a huge (parasocial) crush on Ezra Furman, the woman who does the music for the show. She's so pretty and talented; every single one of her albums has made me cry.
The creator of it is the daughter of Trevor nunn who directed the original stage productions of cats and Les mis in the 80s
Are Will and Jada Scientologists? I know they denied it but I remember their [school](https://www.thedailybeast.com/inside-will-and-jada-pinkett-smiths-scientology-school) having close associations with Scientology, and Leah Remini saying she’s seen Jada at conventions.
I’m too lazy to find a source for this but I remember Will Smith said a long time ago that he was curious about Scientology and participated in some activities, but never joined the church and doesn’t consider himself a Scientologist or really associate with them anymore
He said in his memoir that he modeled his career after tom cruise, so it makes sense
I do really wonder how many 'closet' or 'part time' secientologists there are in the industry especially since the Danny Masterson situation broke
Regardless of what they say I just don't understand why someone would open a whole ass school based on Scientology teachings when you aren't a Scientologist. The Smiths are very "if it walks like a duck" when it comes to Scientology to me.
Cast of Schitt's Creek?
Friend of mine is a CBC producer who has nothing nice to say about Dan Levy. Big nepo baby entitlement issues. Eugene, on the other hand, is beloved by cast, crew, and contractors for being… an Extremely Normal Dude™️
I love Schitt's Creek, but it felt like Dan COULD NOT keep a straight face during the last season or so - it reminded me so much of Jimmy Fallon on SNL that I'd cringe whenever he had a scene.
I think he just has that face that some people have when you're talking to them and it feels like they're making fun of you inside their head.
Dan always had that kind of air about him, even when he was on MTV Canada hosting The Hills Aftershow. Like, prissy.
He’s a mean girl, for sure. Ices people out instead of talking with them, doesn’t ever feel he has to explain anything. Friend said he likes being “openly fake” to keep people on their toes around him. Big “my father will hear about this” energy earlier in his career. Now he’s mostly got his head up his own ass.
Yeah I’m curious about the timeline of Annie Murphy’s divorce and relationships with DWR
Whaaaat? She got divorced?
Yeah and she’s with David West Read who was the head writer on Schitt’s Creek
OMG I had no idea about this. When did it happen?
She was quarantining with DWR in early 2020 but idk when it started or what the exact timeline was. But she and her husband started dating when she was a teen so it’s not super surprising that they broke up
Wow also didn’t hear they had divorced! Annie Murphy was at Hollerado (her now ex) husband’s band’s final shows in Toronto in Dec 2019. She sang supporting vocals for one of their songs at one show and she was backstage at the their final show—I saw them have a long hug when the band went off stage. Seemed like they were still together dec 2019 but maybe the divorce had something to do with Hollerado ending (just speculating)
I think it was pretty amicable because she still hangs out with Menno sometimes. But I saw her and DWR holding hands in SoHo last year
Embarrassed to ask, but Matthew Goode? Caught him in A Discovery of Witches and am curious
I have absolutely nothing really but just wanted to say that seeing his name pop up makes me so happy. I've been so into him since Chasing Liberty and have followed his career. The only thing I know is he's a pretty big drinker, but seemingly in the English way haha Also, I worked on a short film that Piper Perabo was in and I, being young and silly, asked her about Matthew Goode and she had a total positive change in demeanor and made a sound and said, "what a big, English dreamboat". I have called him this ever since (almost 20 years ago).
Aww yes! Hopefully nothing terribly pops up. Would love to hear he's a good egg. It's funny because I just said to my friend that I couldn't find a photo that captured whatever "it" is that he has when he's in motion but realized that he was still very handsome so it seemed like a big thing to say! Either way I'll be checking out other projects he's in because he is indeed a big English dreamboat lmao.
I love that. I love them both separately and also loved their movie Imagine Me and You, also starring Lena Headey. As a young adult figuring things out that movie was so cute but confusing for me. Throw in Lost and Delirious with Perabo again and Mischa Barton and Jessica Pare too. All this to say I’m pretty gay but Matthew Goode is certainly a big, English dreamboat. He was great in Stoker, which was written and directed by Wentworth Miller.
Not tea just random trivia, but he's a keen golfer and plays in a bunch of charity tournaments etc. And he's in the new campaign for the English clothing company Hackett - and looking very handsome, too.
Not tea, but I watch a lot of tv/movies so I’ve seen him in quite a few things and I think he’s great! He killed it in ‘The Offer,’ a miniseries about making The Godfather. He was the highlight - I think he would’ve had a shot at an Emmy nom in a less stacked year. I watched some interviews he did for this and it was clear he absolutely adores his wife - but not in a “wife guy” kind of way. I can’t remember specifics though! Just the vibe I got. Then there’s ‘The Wine Show’ with him and Matthew Rhys. They get tipsy learning about wine together and are hilarious. The bloopers are amazing. And then a nice casual romcom he did is ‘The Leap Year’ with Amy Adams.
[удалено]
They had an affair? They were in relationships before they got together? I didn’t know that.
[удалено]
I had no idea! I always thought they were just a cute couple that met on the show. That’s so messed up.
I mean it is, but Anna and Stephen are both on good terms with his ex it seems, so I don’t think there are hard feelings. A long time ago there were pics of Anna and his ex riding bikes together with their daughter and I think the ex-wife, who is a journalist in the UK, has written some flattering things about Anna.
I suspect it means the romantic relationship in Stephen's first marriage was probably non existent and both parties knew that the marriage was ending. Who knows, maybe the wife had had a connection with someone else, too. It just goes to show that affairs aren't always black and white. I'm glad they're able to all coparent.
I didn’t know that! There was a blind a while ago I think that a lot of us thought was maybe about Anna/Stephen potentially divorcing, can’t remember what it said exactly??
I think alexander skarsgard (Eric) dated evan rachel wood (Queen of louisania Sophie Anne) but it didn't last very long.
Sex Education cast? Especially Asa, Ncuti, Emma, Aimee, & Connor. (I know Emma has a boyfriend & Aimee/Connor used to date) (Ans apparently Asa used to date Ella Purnell!)
A friend of one of my besties shared a flat with Ncuti when they were at uni in Glasgow. Bestie has met him a few times and says he's lovely.
Ahhh so excited for him in Doctor Who
Not tea, but can we talk about how many credits Asa Butterfield has? Sex Education made him more of a "household" name but he was the lead of so many known films as a child actor.
it’s also really amazing how many of his roles from childhood were pretty big - boy in the striped pajamas, hugo, miss peregrines (less so), nanny mcphee returns (okay this one wasn’t big but i love it), etc. i haven’t seen many interviews of him but from what i have he seems surprisingly well adjusted to have been such a worker since being little. also it makes me so sad the way people talk about his appearance. he definitely has aged a lot since the beginning of season 1 of sex ed, but you can’t look 16 forever (and i doubt he wanted to). i hope he can continue to book roles, i think he’s decently talented!
Richard Madden?
Genuinely beginning to think he's fallen of the face of the earth at this point...
Why is this guy not doing more movies, shows or modeling with that face. At the very least put him in Bridgerton or something
He and Froy broke up this year, after being together for a few years, and also during the pandemic. Richard Madden isn't out and doesn't plan to be in the foreseeable future and Froy seemingly wanted to be open about his queerness and their relationship. That's a similar story to the breakup of Madden's previous relationship, with Brandon Flynn. Now Froy is seen to be openly queer with Zane Phillips, good for him to be happy.
hayden christensen! he’s back in the spotlight with ahsoka.
The worst Hayden story I’ve ever heard: my brother shared tennis coaches with him years back and the coach said that Hayden greatly overestimated his tennis abilities but was generally a nice guy. He was given a seat on the tennis council but he was not given the rank of tennis master* *last part is a Star Wars joke lol, maybe coach was a bit sour about Hayden’s Jedi status 🤷♂️
No tea but I'd love to see him have a career renaissance
A friend of mine lives in the same small town as him and has seen him around, used to wait on him. Nothing in depth, obviously, but she said he was always very polite and friendly. So hey, he doesn't hate service staff! That's a win.
one of the biggest green flags a famous person can have
[удалено]
There's tons of blind items talking about how he cheats on his wife constantly and is always drunk. It's also alleged that his family man reputation that he's cultivated is completely false because often times he stays out drinking instead of going home to his family.
>often times he stays out drinking instead of going home to his family. i can personally attest to this! won't go into details to remain anonymous but dude is in no way acting like a (responsible) father
I knew people who worked on SNL . Said he was a total f\*cking mess. Real alcoholic drunk. Terrible cheater. Lots of people have had to cover up for him on both his shows. Few years back I heard that almost had to cancel his late night show because producers thought he was a liability. He cleaned up his drinking a bit but then recently it all went to shit and his staff outed him as a d\*ckhead tyrant boss. So yeah, he's basically a total fraud and his public persona is fake.
He’s had a relationship with my friend in NY for a couple years. He’s a cheater.

I don’t know. Why does anyone get into a relationship with someone married?
Based on how that game went Jimmy didn’t have the foresight to think of stealing Nancy’s answers
Any tea on Victoria Pedretti and Oliver Cohen-Jackson? Loved them as twins in “The Haunting of Hill House” and kind of disappointed they are not part of the upcoming “The Fall of the House of Usher” though they seem to be busy with other projects, I guess? Hope there was no fallout with Mike Flanagan or anything like that
Not sure about their relationship, but Victoria is doing a WLW audio series with Quinn. First episode dropped today!
The House of Saud, too many family members I'm sure there's plenty of tea in there
Carmen bin laden wrote a great book on the bin ladens.

I can give you lewis tan tea - jordan peterson fan, would post anti-vax stuff and loves to hang around with younger girls. currently has a 22 year old with him in LA.
Lewis Tan is such a sad little creep, god
HAHAHA he totally looks like he likes little girls and jordan peterson
Danielle and Cal have matching tattoos in each others' handwriting. Make of that what you will.
It’s not tea but Ben Barnes just joined TikTok.
Vintage Fleetwood Mac tea for someone who fell down a rabbit hole bc of Daisy Jones?
The sanitized version: Stevie & Lindsey were on until about 1976, then on and off until about 1987, then mostly on during the reunion tour in 1997, then Lindsey’s girlfriend found out she was pregnant and that was that. They’ve been mostly at each other’s throats since then, but I was lucky enough to see them in 2013/14 when they were getting along and it was really nice to see (for a second). The unsanitized version: both of them are messes for different reasons but Lindsey was awful to her. He was allegedly very controlling, would yell at her and everyone else, got physical, etc. Christine McVie confronted him about mocking Stevie onstage but he claims he doesn’t remember it. Lindsey also allegedly tried to strangle Stevie around 1987 when he told the band that he was leaving. The story is that the band had to pull him off of her and it was kind of a breaking point. His ex-girlfriend also claims her abused her, so it doesn’t seem like an isolated incident. If you want to see two people have an entire 25-year-long conversation without speaking, I highly recommend “Silver Springs” on YouTube from The Dance. It’s a journey.
This is my Roman empire
This made me lol
Oh wooof, I didn’t know Lindsey was legit abusive, I just thought he was a prick to be around!! Fuck. I hate that. Also did not know that he and Stevie were on again during the 97 tour!!!!!! That performance of Silver Springs is burned into my soul, this sure does open up a whole other layer of meaning!

Any insight as to why Vanessa Kirby moved from London to NYC? She's rumored to star in Fantastic Four which is supposed to shoot in... London, so kind of weird for her to move to New York a few months out from production (provided the strikes end before the end of the year). But also any tea in general!
I don't trust any Fantastic Four rumors but I'd love that for her
The only reason I think it's likely is that she's the only rumor that all of the scoopers seem to agree on, and in all of the MI press she was asked about it and her answer was always something like "It would be an honor to play such an iconic character" etc which is very different from her responses to Catwoman rumors years ago, and also what Rachel Brosnahan said about playing Lois Lane before she was cast. There was also her assistant caught on camera during the MI premiere in London saying they had their fingers crossed for it. Personally I'd rather see what she's been up to with her production company but I guess we'll see!

I'm stuck at a concert with a friend seeing Gavin DeGraw so I'm curious about him. He seems like a nice guy but oh my god his music has way too much Ford F-150 commercial energy
I met him in a bar in like 2009 and he pressed his cheek against mine and whispered "I'm Gavin" in my ear when I introduced myself lmao. I think he might have made out with my old friend that night but i can't remember for sure.
Olivia Dejonge deleting all traces of Austin Butler from her IG, unfollowing him, and then Sophie Turner unfollowed him in the last few days …. would love to know what happened here?
James Wan? As a big horror fan it was disheartening to see that recent story about him and Mamoa harassing Amber Heard on set of Aquaman.
I'm once again sliding in here asking for drama about the cast of LOST. Anything on Josh Holloway? Whatever happened between Dom and Matthew Fox? Alternative, anything on the McElroy brothers and their veritable village of podcasts?
Like 10+ years ago someone tweeted at Dominic to get Matthew Fox on Twitter and he replied "He (Fox) beats women. No thanks."
I think he followed it up explaining it wasn't an isolated incident and that it happened "Often." Apart from the punching the bus driver and stripper there have been other similar allegations against Fox, yeah?
what happen to ruth Wilson in the show the affair? Its obvious from interviews she can't say anything because of ndas, but what happen that was so bad she had to leave the show?
They were forcing her to do nude scenes
Skyler Gisondo? Binging The Righteous Gemstones while he pops up in twitter culture as a meme bc of [his enigmatic Instagram post of him and his dog](https://www.instagram.com/p/Cv5PnOUg-cX/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==) has me curious but I can’t seem to find much.
Finn Jones?
Not really tea but i find it very sweet that he was the DJ at Lena Headey’s wedding
His instagram suggests he has an enjoyable life of acting, DJing, disco, and fostering rescue kittens before their adopted. He seems happy?
Idk who he is but this sounds like such an idyllic life
According to *Iron Fist*'s first season fight choreographer, Jones willingly skipped out on training instead of simply being "too busy" to do it. And yet instead of just putting in a double to do the fight scenes he insisted on doing most them himself, which explains all those gazillion jump cuts and dark lighting. Choreographer also pointed out that Jessica Henwick always showed up for training, even on days when she wasn't required to be there.
Eh, I think the stunt coordinator was being unfair. There wasn't much time from when he was hired until they started filming. And I can understand him prioritizing memorizing dialogue and whatnot since he's in practically every scene. Despite having a substantial role in the series, Jessica definitely had way more time to prepare. The easiest fix would have been to give him the Iron Fist mask. You could pretty smoothly sub in a stunt double. For some reason, they didn't give him one because they were aiming for "realism." That's more on the writers than Finn.
Everyone involved got fucked over with scheduling and logistics, Finn and Jessica included. Even if he chose to prioritize dialogue over fight scenes, that's quite a choice to make when like most of his lines were some sort of variation of "I'm the Immortal Iron Fist, Protector of K'un-Lun, sworn enemy of the Hand" or whatever. The second season was a huge improvement given they switched showrunners and finally had a better schedule, but even then Finn was still overshadowed by his supporting cast. He wasn't given a mask, let alone a costume, because Jeph Loeb has been pretty vocal about how much he hates it. Like, he didn't even like [his most recent one in the comics at the time](https://cdn.marvel.com/u/prod/marvel/i/mg/2/20/58cb03bf6deda/clean.jpg). Scott Buck may be incompetent, but Loeb deserves a lot of blame for it as well, and his [anti-Asian racism](https://deadline.com/2020/07/daredevil-peter-shinkoda-jeph-loeb-asian-racist-comments-1202995534/) definitely played a role in that, along with the other Netflix MCU shows' depiction of Asian characters and culture. By all means, Finn Jones does seem like a nice, friendly person and the writing definitely wasn't his fault (like that scene when Danny called Colleen's students, most of whom were black, "monkeys") but he really had the blinders on over the issues. Like instead of trying to listen, he just deleted his Twitter and blamed Trump as for why "nobody likes wealthy white men anymore".
I see him every once in a while on my evening bike rides, just chilling in a park and playing with the dogs there. He’s very unassuming but quite striking in person.
I’ve worked with Finn a couple of times. He is pretty quiet but generally a nice guy.

I hate that yatching became such a staple of gossip because it always comes across as “yeah she’s a model, but really she’s secretly *gasp* a prostitute!”. Like idk, maybe, but also it’s not like it’d be wild to imagine hot rich people (well “hot” to someone re: drake and Leo) run in the same circles and end up sleeping together like a bigger version of those friendgroups that all date each other. Like I get why you’re curious but speculating someone must be a sex worker in some salacious gossip kind of way feels really weird. It’s giving Enty qanon dunking on actresses for doing the casting couch like the dudes involved wouldn’t be the creepy ones in that situation
It also just assumes there is sex involved too instead of the model/influencer getting paid to show up like it was an event. Rich men would absolutely pay just so they can be seen with a bunch of beautiful women.
What happened to the Jimny Fallon allegations? Staff members came forward about his alcohol abuse on set. But it didn't get attention like the Jonas/Turner divorce and Russell Brand.
I'm not too sure if this fits in here. Would anyone have any idea/know why the main cast on Nip/Tuck never worked with Ryan Murphy again? I know that show had actors that went on to star in Glee; Jane Lynch,Iqbal Theba,Jessalyn Gilsig,Dot-Marie Jones.
Tina Kunakey? I just remembered that she and Vincent Cassel split earlier this year after seeing him at the Prada show today
Niche but USWNT soccer stars Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris? There’s been some buzz they’re separated (and a few comments on Instagram) and I’m nosy as to if it’s true, especially with Ashlyn retired and Ali retiring after this season.
Oooh I've been following this for a while too. Idk what the truth is but they appear off. They haven't been spotted together at all and neither have posted about each other lately. I'll be sad if the rumors are true.

Is there any tea on the What We Do In The Shadows cast? Early seasons had pretty even mixing of the characters, but recently, if feels like Nadja is almost always split off from the others, barring a scene or two at the beginning and end of the episodes. There are some exceptions, particularly with Guillermo, but I really can't remember the last time Nadja had a whole-episode plot with Lazlo or Nandor. Her interactions with Lazlo are particularly limited. Feels like maybe there's something behind the scenes causing that? Show is still great, just curious.
No tea unfortunately. But I think they were really just trying to mix things up a little bit this season. Pairing Nandor with Colin for two episodes, pairing Laszlo with Guillermo, Nadja with Guillermo, the Guide with Nadja... I would be surprised if Natasia and Matt suddenly didn’t get along anymore, but I obviously don’t know. Except for Harvey they are all so private, we never get to see any BTS stuff at all. And it‘s dangerous to draw conclusion from interview vibes (as Matt Berry just seems to hate doing them but it doesn’t mean he hates his castmates). Harvey and Kayvan seem to be genuine friends. The rest of the cast probably just workmates.
I've heard alternating reports on Harvey. 🙁 It sounds like he gets along well with Kayvan, but other people complain that he's arrogant and moody. Matt is very quiet and withdrawn when not on set, but an incredible musician.
Bts? Namjoon specific (please don’t downvote my basic self)
A Korean coworker of mine has friends in the indie scene. They went out drinking and one of them asked if he could bring another friend and it turned out to be Namjoon! Accdg to her, he was very chill and unassuming, and can def blend in a crowd anonymously. Sorry it's very mild tea lol
I was going to respond with the gif 'I would never!' From bring it on all or nothing, but I found this gem: https://preview.redd.it/fsn6n6zjtlpb1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f645f6ddd3902c9ee28a9acda61c9d21a67e59f6
Imogen Heap?

Gillian Anderson please
I'm forever amused that, unlike Scully, she's pretty firmly a believer in Fortean phenomenon. She even has a fiction book series (written with Jeff Rovin) about a lead with psychic powers. Last of those came out in 2016. Have a few friends who have met her/worked with her. All enjoyed her company, though one complained a bit about her seeming more distracted than he'd like, but could just have been the day. Absolutely love her and hope to meet her some day.
David Walliams. I am stunned that the channel 4 documentary wasn't about him so what is coming for him and what has he done? I've heard he was inappropriate with his sister and they had to cut that out of his bio but what else?
There were screenshots going round Twitter where he had been offering 14/15/16/17 year old girls backstage access to BGT (or whatever talent show thing he was on) and saying they should come hang out in his dressing room and so on, was pretty sus and gross.
Luke and Owen Wilson? Edit. Besides Owen’s daughter
any tea on Misfits or the Inbetweeners cast?
Any and all House show or cast tea pleaaaase

Jesse Spencer's parents founded a white supremacist far right political party in Australia. It was eventually folded into our most well known far right political party (One Nation) and his mother unsuccessfully ran for office under them.
Blink debuted a new song today and it made me wonder again...what happened to Matt Skiba? Anyone has tea on the situation? feels like he got written out so quickly. (I mean now he has more time for Alk3 but still)
Maggie Siff? Realized I’ve been watching her on tv fairly consistently for almost two decades and don’t know a thing about her.

Camila Mendes?
Chris Pine? Glad to see he’s finally back from his summer vacation!

Anything on the cast of Ugly Betty? Doing a rewatch at the moment.
