Stir the Tea, Darling
'Don't Worry Darling' struck gold with endless real and fake drama. Where do we begin?
There have been rumors Florence Pugh, and Olivia Wilde do not get along (Personally, I think the rumor that Florence dislikes Olivia for dating Harry Styles while filming seems pretty lame, however, the fact she made significantly less money than an amateur actor from a boyband caused the riff). Florence confirmed she had limited her promotion of the film. And she stuck to it! Homegirl showed up 15 mins late to Venice Film Festival with a cocktail in hand. She posed on the red carpet, skipped the Q&As, watched the movie, and called it a day.
Florence and Olivia's stylists were beefing via social media by picking teams.
This is too passive-aggressive for me to understand.
Chris Pine was quiet quitting right before our eyes.
And last but not least, Spitgate.
A video surfaced of Harry Styles preparing to sit down next to Chris Pine, and in the process, Chris stops clapping, looks down, and laughs to himself. When the first appeared on my timeline, the Harry stans started the rumor that Harry was ignoring Olivia. As the day progressed, the conversation turned to people wondering if Harry spat on Chris.
Pine's rep confirmed that Harry did NOT spit on him. I think Chris just had a dumb blonde moment, and we just all happened to witness it.
She By Shereé Dropped in September…Spring/Summer
After 14 years, Shereé from ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ has finally released her collection of "joggers...more lifestyle." During Season 1 of the iconic franchise, Shereé shared with audiences she had developed a fashion line and would be hosting a fashion show. However, when the day of the show, there was no fashion. It was beyond dreadful. A few seasons ago, Andy Cohen questioned Shereé if She by Shereé would ever see the light of day (video above), which Shereé made it clear it would be jogger and debut in September. She never said September of what year! Fast forward to September 2022, we finally saw a runway WITH fashion.
However, Shereé can never do anything without it lowkey disaster at hand. The site only had four items of clothing available to purchase and was also more expensive than Yeezy at the Gap and Ivy Park. Like girl… understand your demographic. The line might have been in high demand, but not for $130. And she is being accused of stealing designs from SHEIN.
Sterling K. Brown is VERY Hot
This past weekend, I went to see Honk for Jesus with Sterling K Brown and Regina Hall. And one thing I was happily reminded of how incredibly gorgeous Sterling K. Brown is, and his BODY is to DIE FOR.
Paging People Magazine to have him as 2022's Sexiest Man Alive because, come on...wit, charm, and looks for days. Winning ingredients. I’m just trying to get the campaign started.
Don't Rain on Lea Michele's Parade
When ‘Funny Girl’ was announced to make its return to Broadway, and Beanie Feldstein received the lead role as Fanny Brice, Theater Twitter made fun of the fact that Lea Michele didn't get the part because we know her entire career was to become the next Barbra Streisand. But Hollywood loves a redemption arch.
After being exposed as racist and a bully on the set of ‘Glee’ and an internet joke that she couldn't read, people felt bad for her. Beanie as Fanny was getting slaughtered by critics, leaving Broadway the only option for the role...Lea Michele.
On National Read a Book Day, Lea performed her first show of ‘Funny Girl.’ She received SIX standing ovations. Although I think her rendition of “Don't Rain On My Parade” sounded pitchy, and it's known that during the ‘Glee’ tour days, homegirl struggled every night to sing it, which led to the song being removed from the setlist—but best of luck to Lea and those vocals. I guess she got the last laugh.
Sadly, no weekly J.Lo updates to share in this newsletter.
