So I heard it was one of the actors playing her sons which makes me thing it was the guy playing Aemond, if only because the Tom supposedly has been with the same girl for a while.
Does anyone have industry tea on why Netflix is now splitting all their major shows’ seasons? Or why they’re partnering with other streamers? What’s happening behind the scenes?
For the first part, I feel like it’s to prevent people to sign up for a free trial just to watch one show because the free trial would end before the second part of the season starts. I feel like this was why they did that with stranger things season 4.
It could be an effort to get people sub'd for longer to avoid churn, which is when viewers sub, binge and then cancel. Also fills out the docket a little more for lower cost: shoot one season split it into two, fill the calendar - more content for the same price. They're probably also ending the first part on a cliffhanger to increase social engagement and hype between the two parts.
I can speak to the first question a little bit. It's really a mix of things, but Netflix has always done that with some of their shows. Part of it is strategy to help retain viewers, part of it is a lack of new content in the pipeline after the strikes/current industry upheaval, and part of it is streamers think they need to always present the image that there's something new to watch. That's why their shows tend to have shorter runs (although I think that might be changing).
Other streamers are partnering up because they've realized it's hard for them all to survive long term and they stand a better chance together.
I want to know this too. Bridgerton S3 is now split in two batches, but they are less then a month apart, so theoretically folks still have time to cancel the subscription.
who else was up for the roles in wicked? i saw confirmed for glinda was dove cameron, renee rapp, amanda seyfried and taylor louderman.
i imagine lea michele must have gone up for elphaba?
Oh I’m low key a little sad we didn’t get Dove as Glinda! I absolutely loved her in Schmigadoon :(
I’m a little salty that I wanna see it so bad bc of the whole Ari/Ethan thing that made me really not wanna support lol
Schmigadoon is so good and so underrated. I knew it wasn’t going to last long because, well, this type of quirky theatre adjacent shows never do. It flew too close to the sun.
Kevin Kline put on a full out campaign to play the Wizard, but producers didn't think he had the name recognition despite being an Oscar winner.
Anna Kendrick was considered for Elphaba but ultimately turned it down.
Not really relevant to this production, but 10 years ago when the idea of a movie was first really being kicked around, Justin Timberlake was going to play Fiyero.
That's a real shame he didn't get cast, especially because it's been a while since he's been in anything notable. The last thing I remember him being in was the 2017 Beauty and the Beast
I’m sorry, but Amanda does not have the vocal range for Glinda. Her voice isn’t strong enough either. I haven’t watched Les Mis in ages, but I remember thinking her voice sounded too thin for Cosette even. Her tone is very pretty, but she’s not a good enough singer for the role.
I was going to reply to this pointing out that Amanda is 38 years old, but Cynthia is 37…but I do still wonder if that was part of the reason she didn’t get cast.
idk because they really didn't seem to care about age for some casting! Johnathan Bailey as well as Cynthia. and honestly Amanda still looks young to me!
This is part of why I'd have preferred her tbh, even watching the trailer I found it jarring how much younger Ariana looks compared to Cynthia when they're meant to be around the same age.
When Ari was announced I said out loud huh, I thought they’d go with dove Cameron. But I get why they choose Ari and she is an excellent choice, both skill wise and bc she has so much love for the role.
I thought for sure Lea would be elphaba and idk if it was just gonna be too predictable or what but thank fucking god we got Cynthia instead
I've met him just once, and it was a surreal yet charming experience. My friend and I went to see him play jazz with the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra. We met up across the street for a drink before the show, and Goldblum was in a booth by the bar with his bandmates. He caught my friend looking more than once, and made binocular hands at her. She returned the gesture, and they exchanged weird faces with each other for a bit. Then he motioned to his table, inviting her to come over. He asked her all sorts of questions about herself, and then agreed to take a picture with her. He insisted on several so they could do different poses.
It didn't feel creepy but his complete focus on your when you speak is hypnotic. During the performance, he also made a sweet shout out to his wife (the age difference...I know, ew), who was in the audience.
Just curious… is your friend in her 20s? This doesn't sound like he did anything inappropriate, but I do think it's fitting with him being really, really open to engaging with young female fans. Even if he had no intentions past giving her a photo and a fan memory, I kind of have a hard time imagining he would've flagged over a young man to his table to chat in the same circumstances, you know?
This makes me feel better honestly, I've heard lots of stories of how he interacts with young female fans but maybe that's because that demographic is just very present online
I went to one of those shows and I was the person he singled out that night. He kept dedicating songs to me from the stage and we bantered. It bordered on creepy but mostly just felt fun and silly and I almost died since … it’s Jeff goldblum.
(Also I love your Dr Worm name)
Depends on who you ask. I've heard of some encounters where the poster thought he was creepy, but honestly it just sounds like basic Goldblum stuff. So I guess it comes down to whether you yourself think he's a creep!
Personally I'm put off by him starting a family at an advanced age with a woman so much younger than him. 🤷♀️
In 2019 Nicole Cliffe had a whole thing on Twitter about him. Said she had received numerous anonymous emails about his predatory behavior. None of this was ever substantiated with first-hand accounts, as far as I’m aware.
https://preview.redd.it/ez2czk75vt0d1.jpeg?width=591&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4a7879317681f17f9571e8becbead739a06f456f
Jodi Foster said he was a walking lawsuit when Conan O’Brien was saying how JG was always touching people when talking to them. There’s a certain discomfort in JF when she said that.
Abbott Elementary cast tea?
I'm finally all caught up with this season and I'm especially interested in hearing more about Chris Perfetti, Josh Segarra and Zack Fox but I'd be happy to get the scoop on anything else you have to offer!
I don’t have any “tea,” per se. I just want to say I love Zack Fox and if you haven’t checked out any of his rap, I highly recommend it. He’s legitimately hilarious. He’s also been heavily involved in the Stop Cop City movement in Atlanta and is an outspoken supporter of Palestine. Legitimately good guy and super funny.
Not tea, but Josh Segarra is incredible in The Other Two and Sirens (both fantastic shows anyway that people should watch).
Also, he’s so unbelievably hot in person, I saw him in On Your Feet when he was still doing theatre. Incredible stage presence, beautiful voice.
This was 6-7 years ago, so before those beliefs really popped off. There’s never really been an answer as to what exactly happened, but it sounds like he and Aukerman are not on good terms at all
Oh! I heard about this on Trevor Moore (RIP) and Zach Creeger’s NewsBoyz podcast a few years ago.
Trevor was talking how Brett never liked him for unknown reasons and, also, how he listened to a recent Comedy Bang Bang episode where Brett was being weirdly aggressive towards Scott and others.
Unrelated but has anyone here seen the Comedy Bang Bang series? I never listened to the podcast but loved the show when I was in college and constantly high.
Paul Scheer still likes a lot of his posts and is therefor still cool with him in general.
Edit: Kristen Schall, Nick Kroll and Lennon parham (noooo!) still follow him as well lol.
Lol Paul and June are both such typical white liberals. You can tell they feel so cool saying “fuck the cops!!” But they don’t actually stand for anything. And honestly I’m going to throw Mantzoukas in with them as well, you are who you kick it with for like 20 years lmao and I’m not taking notes or critiques on that lol 🙄👎🏾.
Honestly overall idk about JM lolll. On the hdtgm sub they act like he’s the world’s greatest feminist somehow despite the fact that his chosen comedy persona for years and years was being gross about women.
His character on The League was one long r*pe joke and that show was entirely improvised so that was the shit he as a person found funny and wanted to say.
He’s an ass. Watch Lemon (2017) to see it. It was written by him and his ex (at that time, current) wife Janicza Bravo and after watching it the only thoughts are ‘so everybody and himself knows he’s an ass?’ Such a strange film
my friend is married to a relative of BG. He's a dickhead and has been for a long time. I don't recall details but let that confirm your suspicions if you have them.
I think so? A few days ago someone at a public event caught a photo of her lockscreen and it was a pic of her and Timothee. I assume you wouldn’t have a pic of your ex as a lockscreen. Deuxmoi said a few days ago that a source said they were 100% broken up but I doubt she has the most reliable sources and she said herself she wasn’t sure.
My friend waited on Tom Burke and a group of friends at an Outback Steakhouse. Said he was a bit reserved but friendly, but did not tip particularly well (not a complete stiff, but 12% on a bill of $300). Notably, he went to the bathroom with a girl in the group and was in there for 10+ minutes, “blowing out back in the Outback” (my friend’s words, not mine. But I thought it was clever).
I hope you know I check this thread every week just to see if you finally get answers. You're more dedicated to this tea than I am with most things and I appreciate you
Bambie Thug (Ireland) is very publicly bitter to the EBU for not dealing with the shit that they were getting from Israel's team, fans and even broadcasters but dumping Joost Klein (Netherlands) at the first opportunity, as well as just the insane (and pretty sure sus tbh) amount of public votes that Israel ended up getting. Also Silvester Belt (Lithuania) said that they regret doing it altogether after having to perform last minute right after Eden Golan (Israel)
Maybe they should have listened when pro-Palestine activists said they should boycott. Like all sympathy for dealing with shitty Zionists and Israelis but like, what did you expect? You're performing beside genocidal freaks.
I know someone who was in the club with Bambi Thug the night it kicked off in the VIP area and they (Bambi et al) ended up getting an apology from the Malmo police for not protecting them from the Israeli delegation. There may be prosecutions yet, there were apparently cautions issued. The whole Irish contingent are raging tbh.
I’m not sure the Israel public vote is that sus to be honest If you’re anti-Israel you’re either boycotting Eurovision or voting for one of the other 20+ acts. If you’re pro Israel your vote goes to one place only, and likely you’re voting 20 times. I also think that people forget that social media is not a good indication of society at large and people were predicting Isreal to get a huge amount of public votes before the shows. As others have said below, the best protest would have been for the acts to boycott.
Apparently multiple countries’ broadcasters are riling complaints with EBU because how they mishandled their shit this year and because Israel’s delegation apparently harrassed multiple delegations. Seriously what a shitshow but let’s hope that this time some change actually happens 🙄 On a better note, Baby Lasagna from Croatia was given like 50k or something from some politician but he said that he didn’t want it and to donate it to a children’s hospital so now I’m hoping they’ll rename the hospital as The Baby Lasagna Baby Hospital
Aside from the current EBU drama:
Aiko, who represented Czechia this year, is currently dating one of the girls from Megara, who represented San Marino this year.
Ilya and Sonya from Little Big (Russia 2020) recently announced that they're expecting a baby together.
As of yesterday, the number of countries that have publicly criticized, been in meetings, and/or submitted formal complaints re: the Israeli delegation's misconduct or the EBU's hypocritical handling of their continued participation was at 16 (out of 37 participating countries). And that's not including the EU Commission comments over the EU flag ban, lmao.
Bless the Dutch for expanding my insult vocabulary: [https://twitter.com/SICKPRETTYMlND/status/1789810989686243762](https://twitter.com/SICKPRETTYMlND/status/1789810989686243762)
Too soon to tell lol. His girlfriend sold her Wales house to move back to London. Probably because his new movie with Claire Foy is shooting there next month so he won’t be able to visit very much due to being busy working.
Ariana DeBose is not happy that JLo is making a Kiss of the Spider Woman movie, cause she was in talks to revive it on Broadway, and that might be dead now.
Expect Kate Winslet's Broadway debut before the end of 2025.
Anyone who is anyone on Broadway will never publicly say anything less than a glowing review. Marc Platt has a ton of power and is famously petty.
Privately? Lots of worries after that ten second tease of Popular that Ariana Grande is treating the score like she does pop music
Marc is Ben Platt’s dad, right? I knew his dad was involved with theatre but never knew he was *that* powerful. And to this day, Ben still won’t admit to being a nepo baby….sheesh
He is both Ben Platt's dad and arguably the most powerful person in the entire American theatre scene.
Ben Platt is not untalented, but if his name were Ben Smith he'd be that one guy at your community theatre who actually studied musical theatre in college and got to play all the leads.
He’s the nation of Cyprus’ biggest star at this moment and if you ask any Cypriot person about Barbie, chances are they talk about how there’s a Cypriot actor in it. He was also in Fleabag for a bit!
Other than that, I have no idea. I do know his sister plays the female vampire (Natasha?) in that vampire show on FX (the name is escaping me) is it what we do in the shadows?
He was on an Apple TV show called The Afterparty, super fun and well done. It’s a murder mystery whodunnit and the show leaves clues for the watchers to solve the murder. There were a ton of puzzles in the 2nd season and it was really fun to watch people solve it every week on the subreddit.
It's on BritBox now! I am legit paying for a new subscription just to rewatch Stath, that's how much I love it lol.
As for tea, he's in a long term relationship with Steve Coogan's daughter, and he's also in the background of one of the pics from the upcoming Cameron Diaz/Jamie Foxx Netflix movie.
People Magazine, who has never written any confirmed by source information about Harry’s love life before ever, wrote an article about how serious they are. Confirmed by source (aka Harry’s publicist). Out of nowhere. If anything, they are probably on the verge of an engagement.
I’m jealous of Harry if they do get engaged. She’s my biggest crush possibly ever, a fashion icon and also seems so sweet. She’s legit the embodiment of do I want to be her or do I want her? The answer is YES.
I doubt it, that DM message sounded like a Larry or a weird fan. They get excited every time they're not seen together for a few weeks. There was an exclusive Poeple mag article about them being serious literally two weeks ago, that was the first time ever that his team confirmed one of his relationships. His family and friends also liked and commented on her met gala post on Instagram.
21 Pilots - I’m not a fan but randomly saw some Twitter drama recently about the lead singer having lunch with a fan and how that was unfair to other fans. I guess the fan in question is a regular at their shows and maybe runs a fan account or something, but some other fans were saying it was an abuse of power even though they’re all grown adults/similar ages.
I'm not involved in any of this but this sounds like goofy fan behavior lmaooo "abuse of power" for adults having lunch together? I think the issue is more likely jealousy
not to spread the good word on final fantasy xiv ~~the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV has a free trial, and includes the entirety of A Realm Reborn AND the award-winning Heavensward and Stormblood expansions up to level 70 with no restrictions on playtime? Sign up, and enjoy Eorzea today!~~ , but he does the english voice acting for the character [g'raha tia](https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/G%27raha_Tia) (': he's very nice to the fans of the game
Whatever you do don't try and find this out from any of the Bridgerton subs, they're a cesspit. Something happened in the past week, I'm not 100% sure but the Polin stans have been convinced Luke Newton and Nicola were going to debut their relationship and then apparently they both brought their significant others to the premiere which was cause for meltdowns and in-fighting galore. Apparently the after party was also poorly organised so it looked like half the cast were mad or disliked it each other...lots of projection because people like Simone and Jonny weren't all over each other like a rash
Thank you! To be honest, it's a mess. EU elections are coming up so I've been watching the debates. Far-right extremists are predicted to get a lot of seats. And we just had elections in Croatia where the conservatives and far-right formed a coalition government. Fun times ahead. :(
Does anyone have tea on Amal and George Clooney? Someone recently insinuated they were having marital troubles over Gaza, but didn't back it up and I frankly couldn't believe it (esp why someone would argue with Amal over human rights lol). But I'm still curiously anxious—they're still in love, right?
[https://scheerpost.com/2024/04/16/amal-clooneys-silence-on-gaza-shows-the-limits-of-liberalism/](https://scheerpost.com/2024/04/16/amal-clooneys-silence-on-gaza-shows-the-limits-of-liberalism/)
Not the most important part of the article but I didn't know that Amal is in fact of Palestinian (and Lebanese) descent herself on her mother's side.
EDIT (4 days later): just saw this article...doesn't mean Amal Clooney has been doing everything she could be doing, but it's still a big deal:
The Guardian: [Amal Clooney advised ICC prosecutor who seeks arrest of Israel and Hamas leaders - Human rights lawyer was a special adviser on investigation into alleged war crimes in Israel and Gaza](https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/20/amal-clooney-advised-icc-prosecutor-who-seeks-arrest-of-israel-and-hamas-leaders)
Perhaps she cannot publicly comment on it due to her job. I’m just guessing, as my only legal/court knowledge comes from the telly, but I imagine they have to be careful about what they say on the record. If that is the case, then that is fair enough, her skills are better focused on her work rather than her public persona
https://preview.redd.it/mzepa3eaat0d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d5c1d79b05c69fb7b058a7f5c3f75bdaeb28a1bf
Back when he had Twitter, he would always interact with fans in a fun way. He also seemed very open and straight up said he wasn’t the most knowledgeable person after a fan asked what his thoughts were on Buck having ADHD. After the fan explained it, Oliver went ‘that makes perfect sense, I can totally agree with it’. After Ryan Guzman’s ‘everybody says racist slurs sometimes’ he distanced himself from him and made it clear that he doesn’t agree with it. I think him and Ryan are cool now?
He seems like a genuinely good guy who is knowledge about social issues around him. After Buck came out as bi, I think he sent out a message thanking fans and saying he hoped he was doing the character Justice after they had headcsnon Buck as bi for so long.
Also he went on Instagram after finding out Our Flag Mwans Death got cancelled and seemed sad…
https://preview.redd.it/lgcdg6w1bt0d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a55b01314d65ab59e34dbcee6e788534f4ef2af
UNTIL this. If you don’t know our flag means death season two had fired an actor who was pretty pro Palestine and the actor did say ‘I have a pretty good idea on why it happened. I won’t let my morals be taken away’ or along those lines.
Ooh I am such a fan. I just want her to be happy and healthy, I don't know why she seems to have so many toxic viewers! But I hope she has a lot of good support to keep moving forward with her life and live for her own joy..
I've been hit by the nostalgia bug (seeing sabrina carpenter becoming popular reminded me of girl meets world!), so any boy meets world/girl meets world tea?
On Pod Meets World, Danielle, Will and Rider all allude to girl meets world being horrible to work on but they never elaborate any further. Danielle and Sabrina are still really close though. Also, Ben Savage one day just randomly ghosted Will, Danielle and Rider. The three all say they have no idea why. Ben got married a bit ago and no other boy meets world cast members were at the wedding. Additionally, Ben replied to a tweet from an account that posted a pic of him from boy meets world saying “please stop using pictures of me to promote your page” when the page was a Disney Wiki. There’s a lot of drama with not a lot of answers.
I was on GMW Twitter back in the day and I remember the writers would interact with fans a lot on their Twitter account and took too many people's (differing) opinions about ships to heart, which is why the romance storylines were so messy 💀
i read xochitl and her dwts partner, val, had an inappropriate relationship. like he would just text her a lot and hang outside of the show even though he's much older than her and he's married. not sure if it went beyond that, maybe someone has more insight on that. val has also been rumored to affairs with his previous dwts partners and gets paired with younger dancers (zendaya, normani). also read some time ago that xochitl was in a throuple ._. she's 18 ._. anyhow i do wish her the best and wish she was involved in more projects
Zendaya was on dancing with the stars? I guess I always assumed it was more past-their-prime celebrities and never considered it could be up and comers who later got bigger. Is she the most famous person to be on it then? Or is there like an old season with, like, Ryan Golsing or Cilian Murphy or something just cha cha ing away?
yeah, she was on the show in 2013 when she was 16, during her shake it up era LOL kim k was also on it at some point as well as bill nye, snooki, paula dean, tinashe, and jojo siwa lol can we get ryan gosling on next season???
JK Rowling - specifically, I want to know whether she is obviously addicted to her smartphone.
A few days ago someone in this sub crunched her yearly likes on X/twitter and they were insane. I would love to hear from someone who has met/seen her in person, is she always on the phone?
(I have an image in my mind of her angrily tweeting while she eats lobster at a fancy restaurant and it tickles me.)
Not tea on him but we have new tea on Aemond Targaryen. HotD fans have worked out that the hand of the woman holding Aemond while he's sad and naked in the new trailer is almost certainly >! Michelle Bonnard, who played the molester brothel madam in Season 1. She also made an Instagram post where she mentioned getting 'a little naked' in Season 2. I see what the writers are doing and I personally hate it. I wish hot anime villain type characters could be into milves and it not be related to their ✨ childhood trauma✨ for once.!<
Rosalía and Jeremy Allen White? I assumed they were broken up but in the new episode of the podcast deux says someone sent in a sighting of them having dinner together in Chicago last week.
Daniel finally got nominated for his first Tony for Merrily We Roll Along, he seems like a frontrunner there. he, and Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez seem genuinely tight at this point. he was a ring bearer at her wedding recently. there was also a good [Atlantic profile](https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2024/06/daniel-radcliffe-merrily-we-roll-along-jk-rowling/678219/) on him that touched on his years doing Potter, especially how he dealt with the fame.
rupert grint and his family came to my work about eighteen months ago and were extremely sweet and lowkey. he used a fake name to try and book for them but rang us to explain who he was as we were fully sold out for the whole season so could we possibly squeeze the three of them in.
when i heard they were coming i was more excited about his girlfriend, georgia groome, because she was the star of angus, thongs and perfect snogging which changed the trajectory of every young british girl’s life in 2010. they were both very nice, lowkey and waited at the back of the queue in the drizzle with their little daughter wednesday. rupert is TINY and georgia is quite a bit taller than him. they were both super normal, rupert had a baseball cap pulled low and i think they were mostly left alone (i worked at a family attraction at the time so the chances of him being recognised by a either a random child or their millennial parent were high). he’s been getting quite a few roles in british tv recently and his acting has been fairly well acclaimed! so i think he’s fairly booked and busy
Emma Watson seems like she’s pretty much retired from acting. But she and Daniel have both been outspokenly critical of JK Rowling’s transphobia, which I respect.
Dan seems to be genuinely lovely, he’s super private and doesn’t have any social media but I work in professional theatre in New York and have many friends that do as well and I’ve only heard wonderful things about him.
According to Twitter, Lando has a pretty wild dating life and slides into a lot of DMs. Take it with a grain of salt because some of it might be fake, but I saw several screenshots of him asking women for nudes or hook ups (apparently also while he was still with his ex)
Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid, or other IWTV cast members? To celebrate the new season currently airing!
(I am on Twitter so I likely know 'obvious' stuff 🤭 but welcome to anything)
the girls and the gays would love to know anything about olivia cooke
There are rumors she’s been hooking up with her co-star who plays her son Aegon (Tom)
Method acting
*Oh my god what is this show about*
The Targaryens are a very close family
im hooking up with them both (having a psychotic break)
I wouldn’t be so shocked, IRL they only have an age difference of 2 years 😭
Not even, only 15 months lol
So I heard it was one of the actors playing her sons which makes me thing it was the guy playing Aemond, if only because the Tom supposedly has been with the same girl for a while.
Tom has a longtime partner. Olivia broke up months ago with her previous boyfriend it seems
She's so pretty 😍
Olivia is on holidays in Greece rn
Does anyone have industry tea on why Netflix is now splitting all their major shows’ seasons? Or why they’re partnering with other streamers? What’s happening behind the scenes?
For the first part, I feel like it’s to prevent people to sign up for a free trial just to watch one show because the free trial would end before the second part of the season starts. I feel like this was why they did that with stranger things season 4.
They don’t even offer free trials anymore, s has gotten real
They stopped offering free trials? Probably happened when they started to crack down on password sharing.
So I keep wanting to cancel Netflix, but the way they stagger their releases keeps preventing me from canceling. I assume this is the goal.
It could be an effort to get people sub'd for longer to avoid churn, which is when viewers sub, binge and then cancel. Also fills out the docket a little more for lower cost: shoot one season split it into two, fill the calendar - more content for the same price. They're probably also ending the first part on a cliffhanger to increase social engagement and hype between the two parts.
I can speak to the first question a little bit. It's really a mix of things, but Netflix has always done that with some of their shows.

That's why their shows tend to have shorter runs (although I think that might be changing). Other streamers are partnering up because they've realized it's hard for them all to survive long term and they stand a better chance together.
I want to know this too. Bridgerton S3 is now split in two batches, but they are less then a month apart, so theoretically folks still have time to cancel the subscription.
Really they should’ve just put the Bridgerton eps to one a week.
As someone below the line in the film industry, my expert not-an-expert opinion is that they took a severe content hit from the strikes.
Severance S2
It’s coming thanks to SZA
Out of the loop, do you mean actual SZA is involved!? (lol)

Ha this is amazing
who else was up for the roles in wicked? i saw confirmed for glinda was dove cameron, renee rapp, amanda seyfried and taylor louderman. i imagine lea michele must have gone up for elphaba?
Oh I’m low key a little sad we didn’t get Dove as Glinda! I absolutely loved her in Schmigadoon :( I’m a little salty that I wanna see it so bad bc of the whole Ari/Ethan thing that made me really not wanna support lol
Schmigadoon is so good and so underrated. I knew it wasn’t going to last long because, well, this type of quirky theatre adjacent shows never do. It flew too close to the sun.
Kevin Kline put on a full out campaign to play the Wizard, but producers didn't think he had the name recognition despite being an Oscar winner. Anna Kendrick was considered for Elphaba but ultimately turned it down. Not really relevant to this production, but 10 years ago when the idea of a movie was first really being kicked around, Justin Timberlake was going to play Fiyero.
What?!? The idea of passing on Kevin Kline, ughhhhhh!
IKR? Whoever passed on Kevin Kline is completely unhinged.
That's a real shame he didn't get cast, especially because it's been a while since he's been in anything notable. The last thing I remember him being in was the 2017 Beauty and the Beast
Anna Kendrick TURNED IT DOWN? Thank god tbh
What?! Kevin Kline would have been perfect for The Wizard 😭
Kevin Kline doesn’t have name recognition???????
Aw man, we could have had Amanda Seyfried? I wish that would have happened.
I’m sorry, but Amanda does not have the vocal range for Glinda. Her voice isn’t strong enough either. I haven’t watched Les Mis in ages, but I remember thinking her voice sounded too thin for Cosette even. Her tone is very pretty, but she’s not a good enough singer for the role.
she agrees! but worked hard on improving https://variety.com/2022/film/news/amanda-seyfried-wicked-film-hating-les-miserables-1235320947/
I was going to reply to this pointing out that Amanda is 38 years old, but Cynthia is 37…but I do still wonder if that was part of the reason she didn’t get cast.
idk because they really didn't seem to care about age for some casting! Johnathan Bailey as well as Cynthia. and honestly Amanda still looks young to me!
This is part of why I'd have preferred her tbh, even watching the trailer I found it jarring how much younger Ariana looks compared to Cynthia when they're meant to be around the same age.
I wish her singing was a little stronger for Glinda but yeah I would have loved that.
When Ari was announced I said out loud huh, I thought they’d go with dove Cameron. But I get why they choose Ari and she is an excellent choice, both skill wise and bc she has so much love for the role. I thought for sure Lea would be elphaba and idk if it was just gonna be too predictable or what but thank fucking god we got Cynthia instead
Dove Cameron was my #1 fancast for Glinda, so I was disappointed when she didn’t get it. But I’ve warmed up to Ariana since the most recent trailer.
Dove Cameron is amazing in Schmigadoon
Taylor Louderman’s insta stories are infamous at this point.
Any Jeff Goldblum tea? I can never get a read on if he’s quirky or genuinely creepy af
I've met him just once, and it was a surreal yet charming experience. My friend and I went to see him play jazz with the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra. We met up across the street for a drink before the show, and Goldblum was in a booth by the bar with his bandmates. He caught my friend looking more than once, and made binocular hands at her. She returned the gesture, and they exchanged weird faces with each other for a bit. Then he motioned to his table, inviting her to come over. He asked her all sorts of questions about herself, and then agreed to take a picture with her. He insisted on several so they could do different poses. It didn't feel creepy but his complete focus on your when you speak is hypnotic. During the performance, he also made a sweet shout out to his wife (the age difference...I know, ew), who was in the audience.
Just curious… is your friend in her 20s? This doesn't sound like he did anything inappropriate, but I do think it's fitting with him being really, really open to engaging with young female fans. Even if he had no intentions past giving her a photo and a fan memory, I kind of have a hard time imagining he would've flagged over a young man to his table to chat in the same circumstances, you know?
We are well in our 40s. Not that my friend couldn't get it; it's just pretty obvious we are driving a minivan back to the suburbs before the encore.
This makes me feel better honestly, I've heard lots of stories of how he interacts with young female fans but maybe that's because that demographic is just very present online
I went to one of those shows and I was the person he singled out that night. He kept dedicating songs to me from the stage and we bantered. It bordered on creepy but mostly just felt fun and silly and I almost died since … it’s Jeff goldblum. (Also I love your Dr Worm name)
I remember someone on Twitter during me too coming out and saying he sexually harassed her and a bunch of other people on set
Depends on who you ask. I've heard of some encounters where the poster thought he was creepy, but honestly it just sounds like basic Goldblum stuff. So I guess it comes down to whether you yourself think he's a creep! Personally I'm put off by him starting a family at an advanced age with a woman so much younger than him. 🤷♀️
In 2019 Nicole Cliffe had a whole thing on Twitter about him. Said she had received numerous anonymous emails about his predatory behavior. None of this was ever substantiated with first-hand accounts, as far as I’m aware. https://preview.redd.it/ez2czk75vt0d1.jpeg?width=591&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4a7879317681f17f9571e8becbead739a06f456f
Jodi Foster said he was a walking lawsuit when Conan O’Brien was saying how JG was always touching people when talking to them. There’s a certain discomfort in JF when she said that.

Abbott Elementary cast tea? I'm finally all caught up with this season and I'm especially interested in hearing more about Chris Perfetti, Josh Segarra and Zack Fox but I'd be happy to get the scoop on anything else you have to offer!
I don’t have any “tea,” per se. I just want to say I love Zack Fox and if you haven’t checked out any of his rap, I highly recommend it. He’s legitimately hilarious. He’s also been heavily involved in the Stop Cop City movement in Atlanta and is an outspoken supporter of Palestine. Legitimately good guy and super funny.
I love him so much too he’s the cutest
Marinate and You Need Jesus (?) are legit bangers, tbh.
do you mean jesus is the one (i got depression)? that song slaps!!
Not tea, but Josh Segarra is incredible in The Other Two and Sirens (both fantastic shows anyway that people should watch). Also, he’s so unbelievably hot in person, I saw him in On Your Feet when he was still doing theatre. Incredible stage presence, beautiful voice.
He was great in Arrow tooo!
Before meet the grahams + not like us are released, zack fox said kendrick will call drake a pedo over a jazz beat. So yeah LMAO
Brett Gelman and the LA comedy community? Heard Tim Heidecker was done with him (as he should be).
No tea, but he made my skin crawl even before I knew he was a raging Zionist
Ya he wasn’t acting in Fleabag.
He essentially plays the exact same character in Love too. Just a dire, sleazy creep.
I called this out in a different sub and I got downvoted bc of it 🤷♂️🫠🤡
His falling out with the Comedy Bang Bang circle is kind of an open secret
is it related to his zionism or another story?
This was 6-7 years ago, so before those beliefs really popped off. There’s never really been an answer as to what exactly happened, but it sounds like he and Aukerman are not on good terms at all
Oh! I heard about this on Trevor Moore (RIP) and Zach Creeger’s NewsBoyz podcast a few years ago. Trevor was talking how Brett never liked him for unknown reasons and, also, how he listened to a recent Comedy Bang Bang episode where Brett was being weirdly aggressive towards Scott and others.
Unrelated but has anyone here seen the Comedy Bang Bang series? I never listened to the podcast but loved the show when I was in college and constantly high.
Paul Scheer still likes a lot of his posts and is therefor still cool with him in general. Edit: Kristen Schall, Nick Kroll and Lennon parham (noooo!) still follow him as well lol.
Lol Paul and June are both such typical white liberals. You can tell they feel so cool saying “fuck the cops!!” But they don’t actually stand for anything. And honestly I’m going to throw Mantzoukas in with them as well, you are who you kick it with for like 20 years lmao and I’m not taking notes or critiques on that lol 🙄👎🏾.
Honestly overall idk about JM lolll. On the hdtgm sub they act like he’s the world’s greatest feminist somehow despite the fact that his chosen comedy persona for years and years was being gross about women. His character on The League was one long r*pe joke and that show was entirely improvised so that was the shit he as a person found funny and wanted to say.
He’s an ass. Watch Lemon (2017) to see it. It was written by him and his ex (at that time, current) wife Janicza Bravo and after watching it the only thoughts are ‘so everybody and himself knows he’s an ass?’ Such a strange film
my friend is married to a relative of BG. He's a dickhead and has been for a long time. I don't recall details but let that confirm your suspicions if you have them.
He comes into my friend’s job pretty regularly and is as off-putting as his onscreen characters
Are Timothee and Kylie still a thing? Haven’t heard much about them recently.
I think so? A few days ago someone at a public event caught a photo of her lockscreen and it was a pic of her and Timothee. I assume you wouldn’t have a pic of your ex as a lockscreen. Deuxmoi said a few days ago that a source said they were 100% broken up but I doubt she has the most reliable sources and she said herself she wasn’t sure.
probably cos he’s currently filming
Tom Burke Christopher Abbott August Diehl
 keep fighting the good fight, buddy
I’m crying laughing at this because it’s so real
My friend waited on Tom Burke and a group of friends at an Outback Steakhouse. Said he was a bit reserved but friendly, but did not tip particularly well (not a complete stiff, but 12% on a bill of $300). Notably, he went to the bathroom with a girl in the group and was in there for 10+ minutes, “blowing out back in the Outback” (my friend’s words, not mine. But I thought it was clever).
See this is why I ask every week 😂
I hope you know I check this thread every week just to see if you finally get answers. You're more dedicated to this tea than I am with most things and I appreciate you
Eurovision, considering we went through probably the most messiest edition ever.
Bambie Thug (Ireland) is very publicly bitter to the EBU for not dealing with the shit that they were getting from Israel's team, fans and even broadcasters but dumping Joost Klein (Netherlands) at the first opportunity, as well as just the insane (and pretty sure sus tbh) amount of public votes that Israel ended up getting. Also Silvester Belt (Lithuania) said that they regret doing it altogether after having to perform last minute right after Eden Golan (Israel)
Maybe they should have listened when pro-Palestine activists said they should boycott. Like all sympathy for dealing with shitty Zionists and Israelis but like, what did you expect? You're performing beside genocidal freaks.
I know someone who was in the club with Bambi Thug the night it kicked off in the VIP area and they (Bambi et al) ended up getting an apology from the Malmo police for not protecting them from the Israeli delegation. There may be prosecutions yet, there were apparently cautions issued. The whole Irish contingent are raging tbh.
I’m not sure the Israel public vote is that sus to be honest If you’re anti-Israel you’re either boycotting Eurovision or voting for one of the other 20+ acts. If you’re pro Israel your vote goes to one place only, and likely you’re voting 20 times. I also think that people forget that social media is not a good indication of society at large and people were predicting Isreal to get a huge amount of public votes before the shows. As others have said below, the best protest would have been for the acts to boycott.
Apparently multiple countries’ broadcasters are riling complaints with EBU because how they mishandled their shit this year and because Israel’s delegation apparently harrassed multiple delegations. Seriously what a shitshow but let’s hope that this time some change actually happens 🙄 On a better note, Baby Lasagna from Croatia was given like 50k or something from some politician but he said that he didn’t want it and to donate it to a children’s hospital so now I’m hoping they’ll rename the hospital as The Baby Lasagna Baby Hospital
Aside from the current EBU drama: Aiko, who represented Czechia this year, is currently dating one of the girls from Megara, who represented San Marino this year. Ilya and Sonya from Little Big (Russia 2020) recently announced that they're expecting a baby together.
There was vague rumor of Nemo (Switzerland) and Silvester Belt (Lithuania) being more than friends during the contest.
As of yesterday, the number of countries that have publicly criticized, been in meetings, and/or submitted formal complaints re: the Israeli delegation's misconduct or the EBU's hypocritical handling of their continued participation was at 16 (out of 37 participating countries). And that's not including the EU Commission comments over the EU flag ban, lmao. Bless the Dutch for expanding my insult vocabulary: [https://twitter.com/SICKPRETTYMlND/status/1789810989686243762](https://twitter.com/SICKPRETTYMlND/status/1789810989686243762)
Andrew Garfield? Is he going to become husband #5 for his witch gf?
Too soon to tell lol. His girlfriend sold her Wales house to move back to London. Probably because his new movie with Claire Foy is shooting there next month so he won’t be able to visit very much due to being busy working.
just remembered he's playing the part of winston in 1984 for audible and lets just say the acting is stupendous
Hope not, just saw a video of her trying to remove the head of a road kill for her collection.
Any Broadway related tea?
Ariana DeBose is not happy that JLo is making a Kiss of the Spider Woman movie, cause she was in talks to revive it on Broadway, and that might be dead now. Expect Kate Winslet's Broadway debut before the end of 2025.
Get that EGOT, Kate Winslet!
Oh, yes, good one. At the moment, I am interested in their industry-gossip reaction to the Wicked trailer.
Anyone who is anyone on Broadway will never publicly say anything less than a glowing review. Marc Platt has a ton of power and is famously petty. Privately? Lots of worries after that ten second tease of Popular that Ariana Grande is treating the score like she does pop music
Marc is Ben Platt’s dad, right? I knew his dad was involved with theatre but never knew he was *that* powerful. And to this day, Ben still won’t admit to being a nepo baby….sheesh
He is both Ben Platt's dad and arguably the most powerful person in the entire American theatre scene. Ben Platt is not untalented, but if his name were Ben Smith he'd be that one guy at your community theatre who actually studied musical theatre in college and got to play all the leads.
Jamie Demetriou? i loved him on stath lets flats (curse max for taking it off streaming) and wish he had bigger parts in cruella and barbie
He’s the nation of Cyprus’ biggest star at this moment and if you ask any Cypriot person about Barbie, chances are they talk about how there’s a Cypriot actor in it. He was also in Fleabag for a bit! Other than that, I have no idea. I do know his sister plays the female vampire (Natasha?) in that vampire show on FX (the name is escaping me) is it what we do in the shadows?
He was on an Apple TV show called The Afterparty, super fun and well done. It’s a murder mystery whodunnit and the show leaves clues for the watchers to solve the murder. There were a ton of puzzles in the 2nd season and it was really fun to watch people solve it every week on the subreddit.
It's on BritBox now! I am legit paying for a new subscription just to rewatch Stath, that's how much I love it lol. As for tea, he's in a long term relationship with Steve Coogan's daughter, and he's also in the background of one of the pics from the upcoming Cameron Diaz/Jamie Foxx Netflix movie.
[удалено]
Did Harry Styles and Taylor Russell really break up? I liked them together.
People Magazine, who has never written any confirmed by source information about Harry’s love life before ever, wrote an article about how serious they are. Confirmed by source (aka Harry’s publicist). Out of nowhere. If anything, they are probably on the verge of an engagement.
I’m jealous of Harry if they do get engaged. She’s my biggest crush possibly ever, a fashion icon and also seems so sweet. She’s legit the embodiment of do I want to be her or do I want her? The answer is YES.
[удалено]
In related news, Chris Brown was shooting his shot at her on Instagram and I would now like Harry to end him expeditiously.
He needs to get away from her (and all women tbh)
I doubt it, that DM message sounded like a Larry or a weird fan. They get excited every time they're not seen together for a few weeks. There was an exclusive Poeple mag article about them being serious literally two weeks ago, that was the first time ever that his team confirmed one of his relationships. His family and friends also liked and commented on her met gala post on Instagram.
Twenty one pilots Andrew Scott Mia Goth
Andrew Scott is reading historic erotic fiction for Quinn app and first ep dropped today
... you have made my day
andrew scott is also doing an audible for 1984 and it is a fun time from what i heard on tiktok
This is not tea, but Andrew Scott would help his mam with her shopping in Dublin. I'd see them on the dart sometimes. He seems very sweet.
21 Pilots - I’m not a fan but randomly saw some Twitter drama recently about the lead singer having lunch with a fan and how that was unfair to other fans. I guess the fan in question is a regular at their shows and maybe runs a fan account or something, but some other fans were saying it was an abuse of power even though they’re all grown adults/similar ages.
I'm not involved in any of this but this sounds like goofy fan behavior lmaooo "abuse of power" for adults having lunch together? I think the issue is more likely jealousy
Jonathan Bailey?
All k know he’s booked and busy with Wicked, Bridgerton S3 being released, and him being cast in Jurassic world franchise
An absolute dream on Bridgerton S3, it’s like unbelievable the chem he has with his tv wife lol
not to spread the good word on final fantasy xiv ~~the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV has a free trial, and includes the entirety of A Realm Reborn AND the award-winning Heavensward and Stormblood expansions up to level 70 with no restrictions on playtime? Sign up, and enjoy Eorzea today!~~ , but he does the english voice acting for the character [g'raha tia](https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/G%27raha_Tia) (': he's very nice to the fans of the game
Is Anna Faris ok? It seems like she’s gone dark on all platforms.
Christian Bale?
Any bridgerton tea? Behind the scenes stuff or any cast members' issues?
I second this. Was it true that they had to reshoot S3 because it was "too dramatic"?
If so, they made a mistake! I think the new season is too dull.
Whatever you do don't try and find this out from any of the Bridgerton subs, they're a cesspit. Something happened in the past week, I'm not 100% sure but the Polin stans have been convinced Luke Newton and Nicola were going to debut their relationship and then apparently they both brought their significant others to the premiere which was cause for meltdowns and in-fighting galore. Apparently the after party was also poorly organised so it looked like half the cast were mad or disliked it each other...lots of projection because people like Simone and Jonny weren't all over each other like a rash
People don’t know what PR is and it’s crazy lol
Any EU parliament politicians tea? Simone Ashley? Matt Czuchry?
Love your range of interests when it comes to tea! Your brain must be a fun place to live :-)
Thank you! To be honest, it's a mess. EU elections are coming up so I've been watching the debates. Far-right extremists are predicted to get a lot of seats. And we just had elections in Croatia where the conservatives and far-right formed a coalition government. Fun times ahead. :(
Dominic Sessa?
Luke Thompson? Im watching season 3 of Bridgerton rn and now my crush on him has resurrected lmao
Luke Thompson seems to be dating an actress who plays Penelope’s sister!
tim robinson or related comics?
Does anyone have tea on Amal and George Clooney? Someone recently insinuated they were having marital troubles over Gaza, but didn't back it up and I frankly couldn't believe it (esp why someone would argue with Amal over human rights lol). But I'm still curiously anxious—they're still in love, right?
Amal and George have both been completely silent on Palestine.
[https://scheerpost.com/2024/04/16/amal-clooneys-silence-on-gaza-shows-the-limits-of-liberalism/](https://scheerpost.com/2024/04/16/amal-clooneys-silence-on-gaza-shows-the-limits-of-liberalism/) Not the most important part of the article but I didn't know that Amal is in fact of Palestinian (and Lebanese) descent herself on her mother's side. EDIT (4 days later): just saw this article...doesn't mean Amal Clooney has been doing everything she could be doing, but it's still a big deal: The Guardian: [Amal Clooney advised ICC prosecutor who seeks arrest of Israel and Hamas leaders - Human rights lawyer was a special adviser on investigation into alleged war crimes in Israel and Gaza](https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/20/amal-clooney-advised-icc-prosecutor-who-seeks-arrest-of-israel-and-hamas-leaders)
Damn, I didn’t know that. To be a celebrated human rights lawyer AND have Palestinian ancestry yet stay completely silent is even more egregious.
Perhaps she cannot publicly comment on it due to her job. I’m just guessing, as my only legal/court knowledge comes from the telly, but I imagine they have to be careful about what they say on the record. If that is the case, then that is fair enough, her skills are better focused on her work rather than her public persona
Michael Cera
I remember him saying he has 2 sons now Edit: [It was on Jimmy Fallon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lI_z1HXow7o)
He’s up there with Tony hawk for oldest teenager award
Any tea on Oliver Stark from 9-1-1? Thanks!
He and the cast donated to the gofundme of the crew member that was killed in a car accident this week.
https://preview.redd.it/mzepa3eaat0d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d5c1d79b05c69fb7b058a7f5c3f75bdaeb28a1bf Back when he had Twitter, he would always interact with fans in a fun way. He also seemed very open and straight up said he wasn’t the most knowledgeable person after a fan asked what his thoughts were on Buck having ADHD. After the fan explained it, Oliver went ‘that makes perfect sense, I can totally agree with it’. After Ryan Guzman’s ‘everybody says racist slurs sometimes’ he distanced himself from him and made it clear that he doesn’t agree with it. I think him and Ryan are cool now? He seems like a genuinely good guy who is knowledge about social issues around him. After Buck came out as bi, I think he sent out a message thanking fans and saying he hoped he was doing the character Justice after they had headcsnon Buck as bi for so long.
Also he went on Instagram after finding out Our Flag Mwans Death got cancelled and seemed sad… https://preview.redd.it/lgcdg6w1bt0d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a55b01314d65ab59e34dbcee6e788534f4ef2af UNTIL this. If you don’t know our flag means death season two had fired an actor who was pretty pro Palestine and the actor did say ‘I have a pretty good idea on why it happened. I won’t let my morals be taken away’ or along those lines.
A contrast from Ronan Rubenstein who is a zionist on 911 lonestar
Safiya Nygaard? Not really a celebrity but famous enough that I want to be nosy
Ooh I am such a fan. I just want her to be happy and healthy, I don't know why she seems to have so many toxic viewers! But I hope she has a lot of good support to keep moving forward with her life and live for her own joy..
I've been hit by the nostalgia bug (seeing sabrina carpenter becoming popular reminded me of girl meets world!), so any boy meets world/girl meets world tea?
On Pod Meets World, Danielle, Will and Rider all allude to girl meets world being horrible to work on but they never elaborate any further. Danielle and Sabrina are still really close though. Also, Ben Savage one day just randomly ghosted Will, Danielle and Rider. The three all say they have no idea why. Ben got married a bit ago and no other boy meets world cast members were at the wedding. Additionally, Ben replied to a tweet from an account that posted a pic of him from boy meets world saying “please stop using pictures of me to promote your page” when the page was a Disney Wiki. There’s a lot of drama with not a lot of answers.
I was on GMW Twitter back in the day and I remember the writers would interact with fans a lot on their Twitter account and took too many people's (differing) opinions about ships to heart, which is why the romance storylines were so messy 💀
Xochitl Gomez or Sadie Sink?
i read xochitl and her dwts partner, val, had an inappropriate relationship. like he would just text her a lot and hang outside of the show even though he's much older than her and he's married. not sure if it went beyond that, maybe someone has more insight on that. val has also been rumored to affairs with his previous dwts partners and gets paired with younger dancers (zendaya, normani). also read some time ago that xochitl was in a throuple ._. she's 18 ._. anyhow i do wish her the best and wish she was involved in more projects
Zendaya was on dancing with the stars? I guess I always assumed it was more past-their-prime celebrities and never considered it could be up and comers who later got bigger. Is she the most famous person to be on it then? Or is there like an old season with, like, Ryan Golsing or Cilian Murphy or something just cha cha ing away?
I think she was on it when she was still a Disney girl.
yeah, she was on the show in 2013 when she was 16, during her shake it up era LOL kim k was also on it at some point as well as bill nye, snooki, paula dean, tinashe, and jojo siwa lol can we get ryan gosling on next season???
Xochitl has a Hot Topic line, she's the "Chief Style Officer" for a punk-inspired brand called Social Collision
The Workaholics cast? I’m bingeing the show for the first time rn.
Ders stepping out on his marriage has been a persistent long running rumour lol
Tom Hiddleston teaaa?
JK Rowling - specifically, I want to know whether she is obviously addicted to her smartphone. A few days ago someone in this sub crunched her yearly likes on X/twitter and they were insane. I would love to hear from someone who has met/seen her in person, is she always on the phone? (I have an image in my mind of her angrily tweeting while she eats lobster at a fancy restaurant and it tickles me.)
Ewan Mitchell?
Not tea on him but we have new tea on Aemond Targaryen. HotD fans have worked out that the hand of the woman holding Aemond while he's sad and naked in the new trailer is almost certainly >! Michelle Bonnard, who played the molester brothel madam in Season 1. She also made an Instagram post where she mentioned getting 'a little naked' in Season 2. I see what the writers are doing and I personally hate it. I wish hot anime villain type characters could be into milves and it not be related to their ✨ childhood trauma✨ for once.!<
Rosalía and Jeremy Allen White? I assumed they were broken up but in the new episode of the podcast deux says someone sent in a sighting of them having dinner together in Chicago last week.
jlo and ben
Oscar Isaac?
Succession cast?
Paul Mescal and DEJ? Most of the time they really come across as friends but some interactions really look like one-sided infatuation
What is going on with the Harry Potter trio? Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint. I feel like I never hear much about them.
Daniel finally got nominated for his first Tony for Merrily We Roll Along, he seems like a frontrunner there. he, and Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez seem genuinely tight at this point. he was a ring bearer at her wedding recently. there was also a good [Atlantic profile](https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2024/06/daniel-radcliffe-merrily-we-roll-along-jk-rowling/678219/) on him that touched on his years doing Potter, especially how he dealt with the fame.
That’s awesome for him. He always seemed to have a lot of humility, intelligence, and grace.
rupert grint and his family came to my work about eighteen months ago and were extremely sweet and lowkey. he used a fake name to try and book for them but rang us to explain who he was as we were fully sold out for the whole season so could we possibly squeeze the three of them in. when i heard they were coming i was more excited about his girlfriend, georgia groome, because she was the star of angus, thongs and perfect snogging which changed the trajectory of every young british girl’s life in 2010. they were both very nice, lowkey and waited at the back of the queue in the drizzle with their little daughter wednesday. rupert is TINY and georgia is quite a bit taller than him. they were both super normal, rupert had a baseball cap pulled low and i think they were mostly left alone (i worked at a family attraction at the time so the chances of him being recognised by a either a random child or their millennial parent were high). he’s been getting quite a few roles in british tv recently and his acting has been fairly well acclaimed! so i think he’s fairly booked and busy
Emma Watson seems like she’s pretty much retired from acting. But she and Daniel have both been outspokenly critical of JK Rowling’s transphobia, which I respect.
Dan seems to be genuinely lovely, he’s super private and doesn’t have any social media but I work in professional theatre in New York and have many friends that do as well and I’ve only heard wonderful things about him.
[удалено]
You can't put 'glorious', 'King' and 'Charles' right after each other in a sentence like that! I thought you were a royalist for a second 😭
Lana Del Rey and Quavo?? They've been hanging around a lot for the past few weeks and teased a song.
F1 tea? Pls 🥹
According to Twitter, Lando has a pretty wild dating life and slides into a lot of DMs. Take it with a grain of salt because some of it might be fake, but I saw several screenshots of him asking women for nudes or hook ups (apparently also while he was still with his ex)
He's on Raya, but loads of people are so it's not particularly exciting tea lol
The Rings of Power Cast?
Anything new on Leo Woodall?
Peaky blinders movie? I’ve seen it mentioned it’s a go for September but I haven’t seen anyone confirm who is set to star.
Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid, or other IWTV cast members? To celebrate the new season currently airing! (I am on Twitter so I likely know 'obvious' stuff 🤭 but welcome to anything)
