Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni, & My Will to Live
Big props to her for not letting this go. I need a judge to tell him to knock it off and throw his suit out. The judge ruled yesterday Blake has to turn over any relevant texts between her and Taylor, in part because Blake herself opened the door to Taylor by mentioning her first. I actually am not sure if their friendship can recover from this.
As for ME(!), am I morbidly curious how Taylor texts? …yes. Will I read the texts, if and when they inevitably get leaked? …yes. Will I feel bad about it? Yes.
I need Justin to just settle this for my own sanity, but I’m guessing he realizes his Hollywood career is lowkey cooked so he just has to ride this out.
The Summer I Turned Pretty
As far as I’m concerned, this is the only TV show or movie allowed to use Taylor songs because they do the best job at it. Probably helps because Taylor money launders through this show so it’s usage has to be perfect.
Like sorry I need this version of “Red” on streaming stat. And also their version of “August.” And might as well throw in their version of “Back to December” while we’re at it. And fuck it. “Delicate (Taylor’s Version)” let’s go.
Hailee Steinfeld
She got married a couple weeks ago. I’m only mentioning it now bc this is one of the prettiest photos I’ve ever seen:
F1 Movie
A little drama brewing with the F1 movie on behalf of Simone Ashley, aka Vicountess Kate Bridgerton. So she was announced to be in the movie alongside Damson Idris (I don’t know what else he’s been in but here’s a photo):
Just stunning people. She’s been doing a lot of promo for it and generally, from what I’ve seen on her Instagram, seems to be a legitimate fan of F1. However, it came out recently after people watched the movie that her scenes have seemingly all been cut to give Brad Pitt more screen time. They’ve actually been cut so much to the point where she’s just credited as “Self.” Which, you know these things happen, characters get cut. HOWEVER, this is the same director of Top Gun: Maverick who also famously cut Manny Jacinto from that movie.
Liiiiike cutting your Asian actors in two subsequent movies seems to be…how do I say this….
On top of that, Brad Pitt is an abuser so all around a bit icky.
Okay.
This is me asking a serious question. Who’s keeping track of this.
Idk nothing happened this week. Or if it did, I don’t know about it and I don’t care to.
Superman Press Tour
Has begun! Every week I will assess the lewks. They kicked off the tour in Manila, the land of your people.
Stunning color. As a true winter—
Purple dress is Miu Miu and I’m not sure about the red. Her stylist has not updated. Not in love with the hem on the purple, or really the dress in general, but the red frock makes up for it.
Library Watch
Not much since last week because I didn’t go to the library from Saturday-Tuesday. But then on Wednesday the ancient old man was back just chatting away to himself. And then today (Thursday) I went to Starbucks and the cutest little kids just kept staring at me and finally the little sister points to my laptop and whispers to her brother, “Look at her stickers!” So we chatted for 30 seconds bc the kid told me he goes to my elementary school and then their mom yelled at them to leave me alone, which was nice.
I think I’m losing my mind bc I kind of want a pair of jelly shoes. Like I get it. I know. I know. Listen, I know. But also? Discuss. Oh I love these. I also really want silk pants.
DO NOT GET JELLY SHOES.
The J Crew shoes are cute though
I think you should get the jelly shoes
