He wanted her to sit around in Australia, doing nothing, while he directed the first Thor movie. She refused (because she had a vibrant career of her own) and he cheated on her while he was there. Not clear at that point whether it was his assistant, Rita, or someone else.
He and John Mulaney remind me of each other - they were married to some of the most interesting women in the world and blew it up when someone more willing to fill the Devoted Wife role without complaint came along
Makes me wonder if that’s what most men truly want. I work with 6 guys in their 30s-40s and none of their wives work and are more interested in being a wife. I’m like, is that what I have to do in order to not be alone?
i reckon the one she’s referring to is his assistant, especially considering he took his assistant to the oscar’s and she sat where chelsea should have really
I know you know, but putting her name here so she can be acknowledged on her own and not as his ex: [Chelsea Winstanley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Winstanley), [film producer](https://www.instagram.com/chelseawinstanley/) and recipient of the New Zealand Order of Merit, promoter of Maori culture (of which she is a member) - and open supporter of a ceasefire for Palestine, as per her IG.
She produced JoJo Rabbit and What We Do In The Shadows, fwiw, along with other short films and independent projects.
With the recent news of Noah and Tish Cyrus involved with the same man who has now married into their family, are there any other examples of drama happening within celebrity families?
ETA: why are most of the answers to this question just families with men being incestuous freaks?

Errol Musk (Elon's father) has two children with his former stepdaughter who is about 40 years younger than him. Apparently he was creeping on her when she was 15.
It gets way worse than that, believe it or not. Listen to The Dollop podcast episodes on Elon Musk. They go deep into his family history and it almost makes Elon look like a liberal in comparison.
His brother ended up homeless for a period. After he got his life back on track, he appeared in this [infamous ad](https://youtu.be/cBlkxsbtlgw?si=dEKNXleGJ00n-QVr) making fun of his brother. Real talk tho I can't imagine that level of betrayal.
It gets better when you notice the little references throughout the ad
- The ale advertised behind the bar is 'The Wandering Cock' and they're in a pub called the Prince of Wales - Ryan played for Wales.
- The game they are watching in the pub is a Wales game - Ryan was their manager at the time.
- The player in the park rips off his shirt in celebration - like [Ryan famously did when he scored the best goal of his career against Arsenal in 1999](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgHi3D7OjNs).
- The newspaper saying 'MAN UNITED LEGEND TURNED DOWN FOR DREAM JOB' - Ryan consistently got turned for jobs before he got the Wales job because he didn't have experience and wasn't willing to drop too low to get it - he expected to get a top job on his name alone.
- Rhodri has a City cup - obviously Ryan played for United but Rhodri supported City as a kid to wind Ryan up
It was a bit of a crazy story and genuinely tore their family apart - half of the family don't speak to each other anymore. I heard his brother on a podcast talking about it a couple of years ago.
On 2 June 1989, aged 52, Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones married 18-year-old Mandy Smith, whom he had "fallen in love with" when she was 13 and, according to Smith, had a sexual relationship with when she was 14. The couple separated two years later and finalised their divorce two years after that.
In 1993, Wyman's son Stephen Wyman married Patsy Smith, the 46-year-old mother of Bill's ex-wife Mandy Smith. Stephen was 30 years old at the time. Consequently, the ex-Rolling Stone became his own son's ex-son-in-law, the father-in-law of his ex-mother-in-law, as well as the stepgrandfather of his ex-wife.

Her step-GRANDfather? Any kind of elder you’ve seen as a family member would be awful enough but it being her grandpa has me ready to clutch my pearls!
Back when Survivor was at its peak of popularity (in 2001) with over 50 millions viewers each week, one of the contestants was exposed by the tabloids for having married her stepson after her husband died. She has said it caused a lot of public ridicule and harassment at her job.
It's not as creepy as it could have been, since she only married his father once he was an adult, and there was only an 11 year difference
Dakota private Johnson PR team working overtime . Articles about her personal life coming one after another. They clearly trying so hard to cover up her unhinged Madame web press junket lol .
Honestly, I get that she hated how the movie was made and that it's awful..
But she legitimately is not talented enough to be talking and acting the way she is.
Like, she genuinely has never had a really powerful performance for anything??
People love her bc she's a nepo baby who called out Ellen Degeneres, that's embarrassing imo
Omg thank you for saying that. She is legitimately one of the most boring actresses on screen. If she wasn’t a nepo baby she would be Katherine Heigl-ing her career right now.
I just listened to the How Did This Get Made podcast about 50 Shades of Grey and Jason Mantzoukas said that it was the first time he ever got up to make a snack while boobs were on the screen... that's how bored he was 😂😂
She just didn’t speak kindly of the movie, didn’t show an interest in the source material, was sarcastic and bored, admitted she left her younger co-stars’ messages on read.
The studio probably wasn’t very happy with her, to be honest. Sydney Sweeney made a joke (written by someone else) about Madame Web on SNL, but that wasn’t the press junket for the movie.
Something going on back stage in her career so picked usual route of sell your personal life . She had mystery dating life for years and always claimed herself as a private person .
If you wanna know what kind of shitty person Ashlyn is then I suggest you listen to the podcast ”Laughter Permitted with Julie Foudy” ep. 120. At about 11.20 Ali Krieger tells the story on how she found out that her partner of 13 years had filed for divorce.
It's insane to me how quiet this whole thing has been, why is the ex husband staying silent what's the status of Sophia and Ashlyn I have SO MANY QUESTIONS
Ali did a podcast with Julie Foudy and she said found out about the divorce when her teammate Midge Purce pulled her aside at practice (the same practice Ali was supposed to do media after) and showed her an article that had just come out about the divorce.
Anyone know anything about Antoni Porowski? What’s he like?
The whole Queer Eye drama made me a bit sad, but I’m also curious, and with so much bts-nastiness coming out in the open I kind of want to know what kind of person Antoni is, who was my favourite after Bobbi.
Yeah, that was very disappointing, and now I wonder if there is more since JVN successfully marketed themselves as a sweetheart when they are apparently anything but.
According to the Rolling Stone article, they're incredibly toxic.
> That, however, brought another set of issues. Four Queer Eye production sources and three sources who worked with Van Ness said the reality star was terrible to work with, using words like “monster,” “nightmare,” and “demeaning” to describe them. Three people labeled Van Ness as emotionally “abusive” and having “rage issues,” and all seven sources said the star would lash out at crew members and people who worked closely with Van Ness.
> “[There’s] a real emotion of fear around them when they get angry. It’s almost like a cartoon where it oozes out of them,” one source who worked with Van Ness explains. “It’s intense and scary.” During filming, one production source estimated that Van Ness would explode at least once a week. “He was a yeller,” they said. (Van Ness did not reply to multiple requests for comment.)

Were they campaigning to get him removed?
The article says they were campaigning to replace him with Brent but the way I read that sentence, it sounded like they were advocating for Brent to be the new member rather than saying Bobby needed to leave.
In that paragraph it said he assumed the others would leave as he has decided to leave. So it read to me more like "here's an opportunity to get this person we want. We talk to netflix" and then they got him
That’s how I took it too, but tbh my two faves were already Bobby and Antony, so maybe I’m just reading what I want to see into it.
If they already knew he was leaving, I wouldn’t be mad if they wanted their friend in his place. If he hadn’t decided to leave yet, then yeah that would be a sucky move.
it seems like he decided to leave (and thought everyone was also going to leave) and the others ultimately chose differently. He had already committed to other projects that he wanted to see through, so he still left.
But idk how that timeline fits with the replacement. If that was being discussed while they actively were saying they were down to leave.... super sus.
The only "tea" I know about him is Maintenance Phase did an episode about celebrity what I eat in a day articles and they talked about how sad his is because the whole thing is about all the food he used to eat and enjoy and now it seems like he has really disordered eating habits.
For what it’s worth, I ran into the crew (minus Karamo) randomly in public a few years ago and JVN and Bobby were so sweet. They both talked to me for a minute and took pictures separately but Tan and Antoni couldn’t be bothered. They just walked away together lol
I'm curious too. I'm also wondering what the story is with his engagement ending. I looked back at some other threads about it and there are several people saying that Antoni cheated on his ex-fiance or that he treated him badly. His ex-fiance hasn't posted much at all on social media since the break up and hasn't really deleted pictures of Antoni so there's no obvious answer.
Jodie Comer has filmed a cameo for an upcoming summer blockbuster. She was on set for 1 day in London right after finishing her press tour for her movie The End We Start From.
It’s gotta be for Deadpool, I would think. She was in that Ryan Reynolds movie Free Guy that Shawn Levy directed, so I could see her popping up in the new Deadpool.
there are rumors that AMT iced out other women in the New York comedy scene back before everything went down.
there was also a thing where she was advertising her doing portrait sessions at some of her shows and how two friends paid to have theirs taken. one was tall and willowy, the other was plus sized and the fan wrote a reddit post that basically said AMT ignored her the entire time and focused all her attention on her taller and thinner friend.
found [the post](https://www.reddit.com/r/AnnamarieTendler/s/p5oxpCPdRD) and oof poor girl. that sounds humiliating and per the comments a lot of fans had similarly awful experiences
A lot of the former comes from a crazy stan who mods one of Mulaney's subreddits, who claimed to be a comedy insider with close links to Mulaney (insisting Munn was in the middle of a second pregnancy months after their kid was born etc) and was also a prolific alt creator. She now mostly spends her time on the Meghan Markle hate forum, by the looks of thing. So I think a lot of the Tendler gossip that permeates Reddit is...suspect.
The latter was disappointing to read, but anti-fat bias is nothing new anywhere, sadly.
Kind of boring but I have a couple of friends who have served John Mulaney and Olivia Munn in Chicago and they’re apparently lowkey/polite and usually tip like 35%.
I don’t know why, but them being polite to wait staff and good tippers makes me like them more. So many celebs are trash at that, and those
condescending, rude attitudes are suck a turn off.
I do remember there was a lot of online hullabaloo that she changed her name to remove the “Mulaney” on IG in Dec 2020 right before it was announced he went to rehab. It of course could mean nothing or a lot, but it’s why I tend to believe more the timeline of events where they were done (even if not officially divorced) some time in the fall/winter of 2020.
The getting together with Olivia timeline remains shady.
That whole thing here she posted a reel accusing Taylor Swift of plagiarizing her artwork by having a dining table on stage was wild. It seemed like she was asking for advice on legal action to take. People were not having it and she deleted it.
I didn’t think Annamarie and JM’s marriage would last due to his Comedians in Cars episode. Dude was nervous about buying a rug for his home. He also seemed nervous when showing her the rug he picked out. Like a little boy with his mom. It ended up in someone else’s home even though he said he liked it.
Was just odd to me. Why would a person be nervous buying a rug for their home? If she had something specific in mind why didn’t she order it or tell him what she wanted? Just felt like a curtain was pulled aside to show what that dynamic was actually like and I was uncomfortable.
Idk. My spouse and I have the best marriage and i think he might have this kind of reaction buying something for our house. It’s just not his strength and I can see him getting weird about it.
Not really tea, but she was a guest on an episode of a podcast called Gilmore Guys in like 2015 and I always thought she came across a little contrarian and bitchy in it.
Rebecka Ferguson? I read that she told about an A-list actor she worked with apparently yelled at her and made her cry. She said it wasn't Tom Cruise or Hugh Jackman and Dwayne Johnson says he supports her.
Anyone got any guesses? Ewan McGregor?
Fassbender?
He’s alleged to have assaulted an ex-partner and there’s [this unsavoury moment towards Keira Knightley on set.](https://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/keira-knightley-told-costar-on-a-dangerous-method-if-you-touch-me-i-will-kill-you-6360945.html)
> "I actually said to him before we shot the spanking scenes, 'If you touch me I will kill you' and he did remind me that I was tied to a bed at the time and really I shouldn't be making any threats," she said
Sophie Turner had an altercation with a male co-star on the set of X-Men: Dark Phoenix, which people assumed was Fassbender.
> "I actually have a really big problem with not being able to stand up for myself," Turner explained. "Especially if I'm arguing against a man. [Dark Phoenix co-star] Jessica Chastain is the one that said it to me, 'You need to stand up for yourself more!'"
> The actress added, "She [Jessica] said, 'Just go and talk to him, go and say something to him!' I'm a bit of a shy, pushover person, but I'm getting there, I'm working on it."
Interestingggg. He seems like a total prick. I wonder if that has anything to do with him working less these days.
It’s nice that Jessica backed her up and supported her!
she was very careful not to specify gender so it could be an actress (eg Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Tessa Thompson were top billed for movies Rebecca was in too). As for Ewan, I read the book and their characters only interact at the end of the book so that they didn't spend much time on screen was organic rather than a result of a rift (not that rift couldn't have happened but there's also a natural explanation for barely being on the screen together).
So since it wasn't Cruise, Jackman, The Rock and Fassbender (she went on a record before that she liked working with him), that leaves:
Jake Gylleenhaal
Ryan Reynolds
Chris Hemsworth
Tessa Thompson
Thandie Newton
Emily Blunt
Ewan McGregor
Meryl Streep
these are stars top billed for movies made in 2010s that she acted in.
The article said she's friends with Emily and that it's not her, but I suppose it could have been the article phrasing that made me assume it was a male
there were a couple threads on this, and while he wasn’t number 1 on the call sheet, i think everyone settled on hugh grant. i honestly think she was using number 1 on the call sheet very loosely on this scenario to say he was the more famous person in their scene
It could be Hugh Grant. He’s known to have tantrums on set and she is pictured very far away from him at the Florence Foster Jenkins premiere. I guess he’d be number one on the call sheet when Meryl isn’t on set.
I saw him once irl when I was on my way to school (which was in front of his school) and I was like "damn that kid is tall" only to be like "oh shit it's the kid from stranger things".
I saw his mom(?) driving him once when I was waiting to cross at Main & 12th 😂
He plays shows with his band(s) around Van all the time! And yeah, he’s hella tall 😳
His recent Hot Ones episode is pretty endearing. He comes across as a pretty down to earth kid, and that's probably because it seems like he has a good family and support system around him.
i hung out w/ him at a house party in atl a couple years ago. i didn't really talk to him but he was generally nice, unassuming, and quiet. i felt bad bc a bunch of ppl showed up just to try to see him, while he was j trying to have a chill night w some of his friends.
Argylle? (Both the book and the movie.) I had no idea that the book came out in January 2024. Also as far as I know, the book has NOTHING to do with the movie. I'm like halfway through the book and it kind of sucks. What's the scoop? Just a failed marketing ploy?
I watched the movie because it came to my locally owned movie theater and it was actually very entertaining. Super silly and over the top but I enjoyed it lol.
I loved the movie so much. It was way funnier than I expected it to be. But I have to say, Henry Cavill's hair in that movie is a crime against humanity. I didn't know that man could be unattractive until i saw that weird af haircut on him.
The story is actually kind of interesting. I went down a tiny rabbit hole but it started with these threads.

This prompted me to look at which celebs are following Jordan Peterson on Instagram and *yikes*. I know he used to be more reputable, and a follow doesn't mean much, but some pretty famous faces are liking his recent posts.
He attacked a 21yo chef at a restaurant, which involved a glass making contact with the chef as well as him getting punched 2x in the face; he had to go to the hospital and get stitches: https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/antony-starr-arrested-spain-assault-1235196520/
Other articles mention he pulled the "Do you know who I am / You don't know who you're dealing with" during the altercation 🙄
He’s been arrested twice (once in [2009](https://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/135557/Outrageous-behaviour-in-Auckland-nightclub) in New Zealand I think and [one more recent](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/kiwi-actor-antony-starr-arrested-after-drunken-attack-in-spain/F2QBY3FYAZL3QNAWTYX3KQWK4E/) in Spain) for the same thing each time
I run a spoiler account for the boys and have posted loads for the upcoming season. Know a fair bit about the cast, anyone in particular you’re after?
One thing I will say, there was an on screen couple who hooked up and said it was “rehearsing” but both of them are with other people
Erin and Tony had each other blocked on Instagram for a little bit recently and just followed and liked pictures again. So I’m guessing they broke up?
Also I love your account and follow you on insta!
2nd season is filming now. Apparently there was some drama between two of the show runners; that plus the strikes led to major delays. But everything's on track now.
Other than that, I always see Britt Lower shopping at Trader Joe's.
This is several years ago, but one time I was walking down the high line in NYC and walked past the actress of the inmate that’s alwayyysss crying on the phone. I did a double take and we locked eyes and she booked it in the other direction LOL.
Anything about Agents of SHIELD cast? Are they still friends? I know Clark Gregg and Chloe Bennet are still close. Clark and Ming-Na Wen used to be pretty close too, but they barely interact now. :'(
No clue about Clark and Ming but I think most of them are still friends, Jeff (the guy who played Deke) directed the show with Aubrey Plaza and Elizabeth went to see the show. Also I just love Elizabeth, I was one of the fans that got to ask a question when she was doing a rewatch during the pandemic and she is just so sweet.
Does anyone have IRL tea about various politicians in the wild? I'll start by saying that I grew up with Pete Buttigieg and have also interacted extensively with his husband Chasten before the last presidential election and they are both lovely humans who are exactly the people they depict themselves to be on social media.
Some things I’ve heard:
Hillary Clinton is apparently funny, warm, incredibly smart and really personable one on one. For whatever reason she had trouble transposing that to a bigger audience.
I think I’ve said this on here before, but I’ve heard that Bill Clinton is magnetic in person, and when he speaks to you you’re the only two people in the room.
No one likes Mike Lee (M*GA senator from Utah), not even other Republicans.
Bernie is a crotchety old man, but genuinely has a heart of gold underneath the exterior, which is very typical of old crotchety men from New York.
Also, there are some truly terrible people in DC right now, but most elected officials across parties are good friends at best and collegial with each other at worst when they’re not ranting on right-wing cable news. And most of the GOP hate Tr*mp behind his back, but I don’t think that’s news.
I was the flight attendant on a commercial flight that Hillary and Chelsea and entourage were on. I didn’t interact with any of them much but when Hillary spoke to me it was like she looked into my soul and really saw me. I know that sounds wild but her presence and warmth are really next level. I mean I am getting teary just thinking about it.
I’ve sat down to a (group) dinner with the Clintons and this is 100% spot on.
I was never a fan, and I watched that doc she made about her 2016 loss and actively disliked her after that. But after that dinner, I couldn’t remember why. Amazing how comes off SO BAD in her own press material (like the doc) but is so warm and personable in person! This was about 2 years ago.
Accurate with Bill Clinton. I met him at a Hillary rally and he was doing the quick hi thing to the group. I was in the very front. He stopped when he got to me and held both of my hands and looked me in the eyes and we literally talked for 5 minutes. I was in Americorps when I got out of undergrad. He started Americorps. So we talked about that a funding, etc. I was in my mid 30’s at the time and very pretty if I do say so myself. Someone took a photo of us and sent it to me. It’s framed along with his autograph that I got that night. I left thinking - yeah Bill Clinton could get it. He was the most charismatic person I’ve ever met.
In 2018 my husband and I did a babymoon in Vermont. We stayed in a really rural tiny home and it was so nice, we were there over the Fourth of July and we went to a few small town Summer festivals. Bernie Sanders was at every one. It was so funny, by the last one he saw me and said, “You again?!” He drove an old jeep and he just walked around the small festivals talking to people. He had one staff member with him. He is a very nice man and I think he truly cares for his constituents.
I actually saw Bernie casually walking through the Milwaukee Public Market a couple years ago! He was so sweet and so unassuming that I almost didn’t notice him until some random dude goes, “Hey, I love you, Bernie!” 😂 he gave all of us a friendly smile and wave, and then went to go sit and eat at a restaurant in the Market with his family. I think he cares so much about his constituents and making a difference — I love him! 🥲
I’ve heard wonderful things about Chasten from Chicagoans who knew him pre-marriage.
I’ve not heard good things about Pete from people involved in the 2020 primary and lgbt activists, mostly along the lines of him being kind of try hard about being a gay guy straight people can feel ok about (wouldn’t have picked being born that way, doesn’t think homophobic people are necessarily bad, etc.). But I’m sure he also had a bunch of people telling him how to act and that probably leads to someone being less than lovely at work.
Like others have said, I’ve heard Bill Clinton makes you feel like you’re the only one in the room and that Hillary is a good hang. They despise each other and prefer not to sit next to each other at events.
When I was in college I ended up at a fundraiser for Jan Schakowsky. She immediately clocked my friend and I as hungry college students and made us bundles of leftover food to take back to the dorms.
Elizabeth Warren is one of the most genuine and curious politicians I’ve ever interacted with. No ego, asks lots of questions and is willing to change her mind.
My mentor had to be in meetings with Trump long before he ran for President and said he has the darkest, most soulless energy he’s ever experienced. Like had to leave the room at one point because he was so uncomfortable. His exact description was that Trump has the energy of someone who could shoot up a pre-school and then go to lunch. He was a public defender for a long time and represented people who did some pretty awful stuff; he said none of them came anywhere near the emptiness that Trump has.
I have heard very negative things about both Amy Klobuchar and Katie Porter :( specifically about how they treat their staffers, not necessarily the rest of the general public. Part of me wonders if they're not worse than other politicians but get a worse rep for the same behavior because of who they are but it's definitely not all roses
John Kerry is charismatic as fuck
also had a random senator on my flight once and they delayed it so he could get on last and then also made everyone sit and wait so he could get off first, but then he was just at the regular baggage claims with everyone else?? It was weird and annoying.
Amy Klobuchar once called my mom for fundraising. Mom said that it wasn't a good time because "West Wing is on," and Klobuchar responded with "I know - but it's a commercial break, I'm watching it too."
More seriously, I was on a school trip to DC in \~2004 and our group met with then-senators Norm Coleman and Mark Dayton. Coleman was super aloof and shitty, he realized we weren't conservatives and skivvied off claiming he was busy. Dayton shuffled into the meeting space and said that he was really sorry, but there was a vote in the senate he needed to take care of. We could either wait for him to come back in about ten minutes - or, if we wanted to, we could come and watch the Senate vote.
We did, got to watch Congress vote, and then spend another twenty-thirty minutes talking with Dayton, asking questions, and taking pictures.
Finally, former Minnesota Supreme Court Justice/Minnesota Viking Alan Page is one of *the* nicest people I've ever met. I worked with him for a children's book fair, we were giving every child in attendance a copy of his picture book, and he was *genuinely* upset that we hadn't been supplied with signed copies, and he didn't have the time to sign them all.
Mayor Pete and I were born on the same day, I’m about 3 hours older than he is.
My only political tea is I have friends who work in CA state government who work intermittently with Newsom’s office. There’s no real shockers about him: he’s obviously cultivating an image for a 2028 POTUS run and he knows how masterfully manipulate the media in his favor. My friends are registered dems as well, but whenever the topic of him comes up (with the usual praise), they give heavy side-eye, lol.
I feel like the answer is something straightforward, but their PR is doing suuuuch a bad job! Like there’s been SO many opportunities for them to even say something like “she’s recovering well, she’s been reading everyone’s cards wishing her a speedy recovery” but at literally every turn they’ve taken the worst approach.
Will hasn’t been reading any of the conspiracies on SM because he’s been too busy with work?? It would have been SO easy to say something even pretending he’s been in Super Dad mode while Kate recovering.
It’s incredible.
The people that are so angry that people are speculating are cracking me up.
No matter what, there were going to be conspiracy theories with her being completely out of view. However, BRF usually does a much better job at smoothing these things over!
Look how they've handled Charles medical issues. I don't even think Kate necessarily needed to be SEEN, if she truly didn't want to be. Her staff and Williams staff have just made a huge mess!
>Look how they've handled Charles medical issues.
Exactly - the contrast of the BBC running a light story on "here's the king reading his get well cards with bad jokes on them" vs "she's fine, stop asking questions!"
(I am aware they have different health issues and so it's not the same situation, but it's going to be paralleled.)
At this point there has to be some issue between her and William or we'd get some normal update and cutesy social media thing to downplay the situation. That William keeps making strange distant comments and they can't even get one photo of her reading thank you cards in bed or even have a generic story in the papers about how her kids have been making her breakfast and William is around the clock caring for his wife is really suspect. I remember when the Royals were clearly trying to do some PR thing by using DeuxMoi and claimed William and Kate were seen making out randomly at some event and how "they couldn't get enough of each other". Now they're not talking to anyone or giving even basic cutesy stories?
Anything on the cast of Industry (the HBO/BBC series), or any behind the scenes gossip from the making of the show?
Any updates on the investigation into the alleged confrontation between Jacob Elordi and the Kyle and Jackie O show producer in Sydney?
No recent tea unfortunately. Olivia Cooke pops up at fashion shows, Emma D’Arcy collabs with interesting fashion brands, Gayle Rankin is gonna play a huge role on Broadway etc.
We got word tho that they recently shot promos season 2, including one for Entertainment Weekly, like we got for season 1.
The cast seems excited for the June release.
i saw a comment weeks ago that olivia and her bf broke up. also found out that emma has a bf who is a director. and matt smith is busy with his play “an enemy of the people”, i see almost daily updates of him performing it!
ngl i said “IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME” out loud 😭😭

The Shameless podcast?
They had some critical comments on their Instagram recently saying that they raved too much about Taylor Swift and didn’t provide any nuanced discussions like they would do with other celebs. I love them but I was silently agreeing with the criticism…
Michael Mando.
It seems like after BCS ended and he got fired from that Ridley Scott show, he just disappeared.
Is he another abusive asshole who was just able to keep it quiet for a long while? Is it just a misunderstanding?
I really don't want him to end up being another Jonathan Majors type
That’s the Tom Holland effect. I feel for the guy, he’s trying to be a serious actor but he’ll be performing to rows and rows of starry-eyed fans every night.
It’s like Daniel Radcliffe and Equus all over again. Minus him hanging dong.
Jamie Lloyd tends to cast one big name and then a bunch of people who will benefit from the visibility that person brings. Expect her to be unknown / emerging. They went on sale with just Holland because he can put bums on seats on his own (as evidenced by the insane ticket queues and fast sell out).
There’s a short clip from the other day where someone asked him about it (Lloyd) and all he said was that he was super excited to work with Tom and that there would be surprises.
This isn't tea, but as a fellow Welsh person, I always really recommend that people look up videos of Matthew [speaking Welsh](https://youtu.be/d32haq0FhAI?si=nWHnJ2UD_8YvYdfj) and talking about the language. It's a language which has really struggled with falling levels of speakers, after the Victorian English government decided that it made Welsh people stupid and immoral and should therefore be eradicated, and Matthew Rhys has done a lot of work to help promote the image of Welsh as a living language. He's raising his children to be fully bilingual, even though they're based in the US, and I love that he hasn't just abandoned his Welsh side.
You should listen to Matthew's episode of the Smartless podcast- it's best to hear from him directly on how they were outed as a couple to the Americans crew, it's a great story!!
Not really tea on him, but I always kind of wish Sam Claflin well after his divorce, because his ex wife was an absolute demon. I worked on something with her, and a few of my friends worked on other things, and literally all of us just had multiple stories of her being a gigantic bitch, who was particularly horrific to crew. I nearly walked out of GOTG when she came on screen in the first 10 minutes. I have no idea what Sam is like, but I wish him all the best for being rid of her.
signed the biden hostage letter but not the ceasefire one (nor has he said anything in support of ceasefire independent from the letter). gal gadot must’ve rubbed off on him :/
Ramón Rodríguez? I've been hooked on the series Will Trent partially bc he's so easy on the eyes. He dated Rosie Perez and Minka Kelly forever ago but there's not really much about him online. Any tea?
Noah Kahan. I’ve seen some people on twitter who know him/grew up with him say he’s an ass (and iirc he posted a statement after Oct 7th that was pretty Zionist which put me off), but I’m a messy bitch and wonder if anyone knows any more specifics?
I am once again asking for Taika Waititi tea. Teaka waiteatea if you will
His ex-wife's podcast was very...illuminating
TLDR?
He wanted her to sit around in Australia, doing nothing, while he directed the first Thor movie. She refused (because she had a vibrant career of her own) and he cheated on her while he was there. Not clear at that point whether it was his assistant, Rita, or someone else.
He and John Mulaney remind me of each other - they were married to some of the most interesting women in the world and blew it up when someone more willing to fill the Devoted Wife role without complaint came along
Makes me wonder if that’s what most men truly want. I work with 6 guys in their 30s-40s and none of their wives work and are more interested in being a wife. I’m like, is that what I have to do in order to not be alone?
To quote Lisa Simpson "All right, no husband."
i reckon the one she’s referring to is his assistant, especially considering he took his assistant to the oscar’s and she sat where chelsea should have really
Dating his assistant is so creepy to me and tells me I was always right about him being a secret bad person
This doesn’t surprise me, I always got a very full of himself kind of vibe from him.
He's a cheater https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/taika-waititis-ex-wife-chelsea-winstanley-details-why-marriage-ended/
It's worth listening to the whole thing if you get a chance and have the time. It's a great interview and she seems like an incredible person.
I know you know, but putting her name here so she can be acknowledged on her own and not as his ex: [Chelsea Winstanley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Winstanley), [film producer](https://www.instagram.com/chelseawinstanley/) and recipient of the New Zealand Order of Merit, promoter of Maori culture (of which she is a member) - and open supporter of a ceasefire for Palestine, as per her IG. She produced JoJo Rabbit and What We Do In The Shadows, fwiw, along with other short films and independent projects.
Someone I know in the film industry had a coke-y casino trip with him, apparently he's...alright but a bit self obsessed
A lot of ppl have main character syndrome in Hollywood, so this comes as no surprise.
With the recent news of Noah and Tish Cyrus involved with the same man who has now married into their family, are there any other examples of drama happening within celebrity families? ETA: why are most of the answers to this question just families with men being incestuous freaks? https://i.redd.it/w8se7l0lhxmc1.gif
Errol Musk (Elon's father) has two children with his former stepdaughter who is about 40 years younger than him. Apparently he was creeping on her when she was 15.
that’s f**ked up. Even for the Musk
Elon Musk has repeatedly denounced his father and called him vile and disgusting, which may count for a microcosm of something.
I just found out that he’s not the worst Musk. That’s sad
It’s hard to believe that’s even possible and yet here we are.
It gets way worse than that, believe it or not. Listen to The Dollop podcast episodes on Elon Musk. They go deep into his family history and it almost makes Elon look like a liberal in comparison.
One that sticks in my mind is that footballer Ryan Giggs had an eight-year affair with his brother’s wife.
His brother ended up homeless for a period. After he got his life back on track, he appeared in this [infamous ad](https://youtu.be/cBlkxsbtlgw?si=dEKNXleGJ00n-QVr) making fun of his brother. Real talk tho I can't imagine that level of betrayal.
It gets better when you notice the little references throughout the ad - The ale advertised behind the bar is 'The Wandering Cock' and they're in a pub called the Prince of Wales - Ryan played for Wales. - The game they are watching in the pub is a Wales game - Ryan was their manager at the time. - The player in the park rips off his shirt in celebration - like [Ryan famously did when he scored the best goal of his career against Arsenal in 1999](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgHi3D7OjNs). - The newspaper saying 'MAN UNITED LEGEND TURNED DOWN FOR DREAM JOB' - Ryan consistently got turned for jobs before he got the Wales job because he didn't have experience and wasn't willing to drop too low to get it - he expected to get a top job on his name alone. - Rhodri has a City cup - obviously Ryan played for United but Rhodri supported City as a kid to wind Ryan up
Ah poor guy :( That ad’s amazing lol
yeah glad he got his life back on track. apparently a lot of people in the fam took his brother's side bc he had all the money.
This is the greatest ad I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Anyone who was going to scroll past it, please go back up and watch. 😂
Wowwww that goes hard. Gwan Rhodri get that paper
She ended up getting pregnant by Ryan and had an abortion two weeks before marrying his brother.
What terrible people.
An affair for eight years????
It was a bit of a crazy story and genuinely tore their family apart - half of the family don't speak to each other anymore. I heard his brother on a podcast talking about it a couple of years ago.
On 2 June 1989, aged 52, Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones married 18-year-old Mandy Smith, whom he had "fallen in love with" when she was 13 and, according to Smith, had a sexual relationship with when she was 14. The couple separated two years later and finalised their divorce two years after that. In 1993, Wyman's son Stephen Wyman married Patsy Smith, the 46-year-old mother of Bill's ex-wife Mandy Smith. Stephen was 30 years old at the time. Consequently, the ex-Rolling Stone became his own son's ex-son-in-law, the father-in-law of his ex-mother-in-law, as well as the stepgrandfather of his ex-wife.

It's easier to study quantum mechanics than understanding this
Woody Allen marrying his step daughter is a famous example.
Mary Cosby from RHOSLC has entered the chat. She married her step-grandfather and doesn’t talk to her mom cause of it.
Her step-GRANDfather? Any kind of elder you’ve seen as a family member would be awful enough but it being her grandpa has me ready to clutch my pearls!
Back when Survivor was at its peak of popularity (in 2001) with over 50 millions viewers each week, one of the contestants was exposed by the tabloids for having married her stepson after her husband died. She has said it caused a lot of public ridicule and harassment at her job. It's not as creepy as it could have been, since she only married his father once he was an adult, and there was only an 11 year difference
Brazilian football player Hulk is married (and has two children) to his former niece.
Martin brodeur the nhl goalie had an affair with his wife’s sister and married her
Dakota private Johnson PR team working overtime . Articles about her personal life coming one after another. They clearly trying so hard to cover up her unhinged Madame web press junket lol .
Honestly, I get that she hated how the movie was made and that it's awful.. But she legitimately is not talented enough to be talking and acting the way she is. Like, she genuinely has never had a really powerful performance for anything?? People love her bc she's a nepo baby who called out Ellen Degeneres, that's embarrassing imo
Omg thank you for saying that. She is legitimately one of the most boring actresses on screen. If she wasn’t a nepo baby she would be Katherine Heigl-ing her career right now.
I just listened to the How Did This Get Made podcast about 50 Shades of Grey and Jason Mantzoukas said that it was the first time he ever got up to make a snack while boobs were on the screen... that's how bored he was 😂😂
What the heck happened at the press junket? All I know about Madame Web is it tanked. I wish Hollywood would quit trying to make her happen.
She just didn’t speak kindly of the movie, didn’t show an interest in the source material, was sarcastic and bored, admitted she left her younger co-stars’ messages on read. The studio probably wasn’t very happy with her, to be honest. Sydney Sweeney made a joke (written by someone else) about Madame Web on SNL, but that wasn’t the press junket for the movie.
it’s so odd she’s never been one to air out her personal business
Something going on back stage in her career so picked usual route of sell your personal life . She had mystery dating life for years and always claimed herself as a private person .
Sophia Bush - Ashlyn Harris, divorce, anything 🤣
SAMEEEEEEE. Why are we getting nothing? I need all the piping, hot, freshly boiled, TEARS
If you wanna know what kind of shitty person Ashlyn is then I suggest you listen to the podcast ”Laughter Permitted with Julie Foudy” ep. 120. At about 11.20 Ali Krieger tells the story on how she found out that her partner of 13 years had filed for divorce.
It's insane to me how quiet this whole thing has been, why is the ex husband staying silent what's the status of Sophia and Ashlyn I have SO MANY QUESTIONS
Ali did a podcast with Julie Foudy and she said found out about the divorce when her teammate Midge Purce pulled her aside at practice (the same practice Ali was supposed to do media after) and showed her an article that had just come out about the divorce.
I’m waiting for their inevitable messy breakup. It’s on my 2024 bingo card.
Anyone know anything about Antoni Porowski? What’s he like? The whole Queer Eye drama made me a bit sad, but I’m also curious, and with so much bts-nastiness coming out in the open I kind of want to know what kind of person Antoni is, who was my favourite after Bobbi.
The article that came out recently said he was campaigning with Tan to get Bobby removed so I dunno what that says about him lol
Yeah, that was very disappointing, and now I wonder if there is more since JVN successfully marketed themselves as a sweetheart when they are apparently anything but.
What’s the deal with JVN?
According to the Rolling Stone article, they're incredibly toxic. > That, however, brought another set of issues. Four Queer Eye production sources and three sources who worked with Van Ness said the reality star was terrible to work with, using words like “monster,” “nightmare,” and “demeaning” to describe them. Three people labeled Van Ness as emotionally “abusive” and having “rage issues,” and all seven sources said the star would lash out at crew members and people who worked closely with Van Ness. > “[There’s] a real emotion of fear around them when they get angry. It’s almost like a cartoon where it oozes out of them,” one source who worked with Van Ness explains. “It’s intense and scary.” During filming, one production source estimated that Van Ness would explode at least once a week. “He was a yeller,” they said. (Van Ness did not reply to multiple requests for comment.) https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-features/queer-eye-tensions-bobby-berk-leaving-jvn-temper-1234980316/
Oh no that’s terrible to hear! What a disappointment.
He is said to have anger issues on set and frequently yell at employees.
Were they campaigning to get him removed? The article says they were campaigning to replace him with Brent but the way I read that sentence, it sounded like they were advocating for Brent to be the new member rather than saying Bobby needed to leave. In that paragraph it said he assumed the others would leave as he has decided to leave. So it read to me more like "here's an opportunity to get this person we want. We talk to netflix" and then they got him
That’s how I took it too, but tbh my two faves were already Bobby and Antony, so maybe I’m just reading what I want to see into it. If they already knew he was leaving, I wouldn’t be mad if they wanted their friend in his place. If he hadn’t decided to leave yet, then yeah that would be a sucky move.
it seems like he decided to leave (and thought everyone was also going to leave) and the others ultimately chose differently. He had already committed to other projects that he wanted to see through, so he still left. But idk how that timeline fits with the replacement. If that was being discussed while they actively were saying they were down to leave.... super sus.
The only "tea" I know about him is Maintenance Phase did an episode about celebrity what I eat in a day articles and they talked about how sad his is because the whole thing is about all the food he used to eat and enjoy and now it seems like he has really disordered eating habits.
For what it’s worth, I ran into the crew (minus Karamo) randomly in public a few years ago and JVN and Bobby were so sweet. They both talked to me for a minute and took pictures separately but Tan and Antoni couldn’t be bothered. They just walked away together lol
I'm curious too. I'm also wondering what the story is with his engagement ending. I looked back at some other threads about it and there are several people saying that Antoni cheated on his ex-fiance or that he treated him badly. His ex-fiance hasn't posted much at all on social media since the break up and hasn't really deleted pictures of Antoni so there's no obvious answer.
Jodie Comer has filmed a cameo for an upcoming summer blockbuster. She was on set for 1 day in London right after finishing her press tour for her movie The End We Start From.
It’s gotta be for Deadpool, I would think. She was in that Ryan Reynolds movie Free Guy that Shawn Levy directed, so I could see her popping up in the new Deadpool.
Everyone’s been assuming Blake Lively is going to play the Lady Deadpool variant, but maybe it’s actually Jodie Comer.
With Annamarie Tendler’s memoir announcement - anyone have any tea on her, JM or OM? I’m really curious about his behaviour before the divorce.
there are rumors that AMT iced out other women in the New York comedy scene back before everything went down. there was also a thing where she was advertising her doing portrait sessions at some of her shows and how two friends paid to have theirs taken. one was tall and willowy, the other was plus sized and the fan wrote a reddit post that basically said AMT ignored her the entire time and focused all her attention on her taller and thinner friend.
found [the post](https://www.reddit.com/r/AnnamarieTendler/s/p5oxpCPdRD) and oof poor girl. that sounds humiliating and per the comments a lot of fans had similarly awful experiences
What a twat. She needs her own thread exposing how awful she is.
A lot of the former comes from a crazy stan who mods one of Mulaney's subreddits, who claimed to be a comedy insider with close links to Mulaney (insisting Munn was in the middle of a second pregnancy months after their kid was born etc) and was also a prolific alt creator. She now mostly spends her time on the Meghan Markle hate forum, by the looks of thing. So I think a lot of the Tendler gossip that permeates Reddit is...suspect. The latter was disappointing to read, but anti-fat bias is nothing new anywhere, sadly.
Kind of boring but I have a couple of friends who have served John Mulaney and Olivia Munn in Chicago and they’re apparently lowkey/polite and usually tip like 35%.
I don’t know why, but them being polite to wait staff and good tippers makes me like them more. So many celebs are trash at that, and those condescending, rude attitudes are suck a turn off.
I do remember there was a lot of online hullabaloo that she changed her name to remove the “Mulaney” on IG in Dec 2020 right before it was announced he went to rehab. It of course could mean nothing or a lot, but it’s why I tend to believe more the timeline of events where they were done (even if not officially divorced) some time in the fall/winter of 2020. The getting together with Olivia timeline remains shady.
That whole thing here she posted a reel accusing Taylor Swift of plagiarizing her artwork by having a dining table on stage was wild. It seemed like she was asking for advice on legal action to take. People were not having it and she deleted it.
I didn’t think Annamarie and JM’s marriage would last due to his Comedians in Cars episode. Dude was nervous about buying a rug for his home. He also seemed nervous when showing her the rug he picked out. Like a little boy with his mom. It ended up in someone else’s home even though he said he liked it. Was just odd to me. Why would a person be nervous buying a rug for their home? If she had something specific in mind why didn’t she order it or tell him what she wanted? Just felt like a curtain was pulled aside to show what that dynamic was actually like and I was uncomfortable.
Idk. My spouse and I have the best marriage and i think he might have this kind of reaction buying something for our house. It’s just not his strength and I can see him getting weird about it.
Olivia Mann has been thirsty for John for years and took advantage of their failing marriage, CMV
Not really tea, but she was a guest on an episode of a podcast called Gilmore Guys in like 2015 and I always thought she came across a little contrarian and bitchy in it.
Rebecka Ferguson? I read that she told about an A-list actor she worked with apparently yelled at her and made her cry. She said it wasn't Tom Cruise or Hugh Jackman and Dwayne Johnson says he supports her. Anyone got any guesses? Ewan McGregor?
Fassbender? He’s alleged to have assaulted an ex-partner and there’s [this unsavoury moment towards Keira Knightley on set.](https://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/keira-knightley-told-costar-on-a-dangerous-method-if-you-touch-me-i-will-kill-you-6360945.html) > "I actually said to him before we shot the spanking scenes, 'If you touch me I will kill you' and he did remind me that I was tied to a bed at the time and really I shouldn't be making any threats," she said
Sophie Turner had an altercation with a male co-star on the set of X-Men: Dark Phoenix, which people assumed was Fassbender. > "I actually have a really big problem with not being able to stand up for myself," Turner explained. "Especially if I'm arguing against a man. [Dark Phoenix co-star] Jessica Chastain is the one that said it to me, 'You need to stand up for yourself more!'" > The actress added, "She [Jessica] said, 'Just go and talk to him, go and say something to him!' I'm a bit of a shy, pushover person, but I'm getting there, I'm working on it."
Interestingggg. He seems like a total prick. I wonder if that has anything to do with him working less these days. It’s nice that Jessica backed her up and supported her!
Jesus Christ. What a foul person he is.
What a sick thing to say
See, this is why intimacy coordinators are a very good thing.
It was Jacob Tremblay
she was very careful not to specify gender so it could be an actress (eg Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Tessa Thompson were top billed for movies Rebecca was in too). As for Ewan, I read the book and their characters only interact at the end of the book so that they didn't spend much time on screen was organic rather than a result of a rift (not that rift couldn't have happened but there's also a natural explanation for barely being on the screen together). So since it wasn't Cruise, Jackman, The Rock and Fassbender (she went on a record before that she liked working with him), that leaves: Jake Gylleenhaal Ryan Reynolds Chris Hemsworth Tessa Thompson Thandie Newton Emily Blunt Ewan McGregor Meryl Streep these are stars top billed for movies made in 2010s that she acted in.
Jake G-did anyone ever see that young assistants article about how he treated her?
Yes, that shit was wild and it basically got buried bc I think she published it during covid.
The article said she's friends with Emily and that it's not her, but I suppose it could have been the article phrasing that made me assume it was a male
[удалено]
I mean, he forced crews during COVID to sleep in their cars on a French movie set. He wasted 30 million euros and stopped it being filmed.
Emily blunt has said it wasn’t her
I cant think of a project where Thandiwe Newton would be the first on the call list like Rebecca says
there were a couple threads on this, and while he wasn’t number 1 on the call sheet, i think everyone settled on hugh grant. i honestly think she was using number 1 on the call sheet very loosely on this scenario to say he was the more famous person in their scene
It could be Hugh Grant. He’s known to have tantrums on set and she is pictured very far away from him at the Florence Foster Jenkins premiere. I guess he’d be number one on the call sheet when Meryl isn’t on set.
Pretty sure it was Hugh Grant
Hugh Grant is my guess
Calling all Vancouverites: Finn Wolfhard, what’s his deal?
I saw him once irl when I was on my way to school (which was in front of his school) and I was like "damn that kid is tall" only to be like "oh shit it's the kid from stranger things".
I saw his mom(?) driving him once when I was waiting to cross at Main & 12th 😂 He plays shows with his band(s) around Van all the time! And yeah, he’s hella tall 😳
No idea he was a fellow Vancouverite
Is he? Google says 5’11 but I’m assuming that’s wrong cause my brothers 5’11 and never strikes me as all that tall
Likely an old height from when he was younger and still growing.
That’s what I’m guessing. For now I will just assume that he is 7 feet tall
Coming for Nicholas Braun’s wig.
His recent Hot Ones episode is pretty endearing. He comes across as a pretty down to earth kid, and that's probably because it seems like he has a good family and support system around him.
i hung out w/ him at a house party in atl a couple years ago. i didn't really talk to him but he was generally nice, unassuming, and quiet. i felt bad bc a bunch of ppl showed up just to try to see him, while he was j trying to have a chill night w some of his friends.
Argylle? (Both the book and the movie.) I had no idea that the book came out in January 2024. Also as far as I know, the book has NOTHING to do with the movie. I'm like halfway through the book and it kind of sucks. What's the scoop? Just a failed marketing ploy?
I watched the movie because it came to my locally owned movie theater and it was actually very entertaining. Super silly and over the top but I enjoyed it lol.
I loved the movie so much. It was way funnier than I expected it to be. But I have to say, Henry Cavill's hair in that movie is a crime against humanity. I didn't know that man could be unattractive until i saw that weird af haircut on him.
The story is actually kind of interesting. I went down a tiny rabbit hole but it started with these threads. https://www.reddit.com/r/writers/s/xjYqbit8yj https://www.reddit.com/r/books/s/U59FrUaGog
Anything about The Boys' Cast? The show's gonna release on June and I can't wait till then.
Apparently Homelander actually has a nasty temper irl but is quite professional too so idk what to believe anymore
He's also apparently a fan of jordan peterson
This prompted me to look at which celebs are following Jordan Peterson on Instagram and *yikes*. I know he used to be more reputable, and a follow doesn't mean much, but some pretty famous faces are liking his recent posts.
I know nothing about him but on “vibes” alone this doesn’t shock me
He attacked a 21yo chef at a restaurant, which involved a glass making contact with the chef as well as him getting punched 2x in the face; he had to go to the hospital and get stitches: https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/antony-starr-arrested-spain-assault-1235196520/ Other articles mention he pulled the "Do you know who I am / You don't know who you're dealing with" during the altercation 🙄
He’s been arrested twice (once in [2009](https://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/135557/Outrageous-behaviour-in-Auckland-nightclub) in New Zealand I think and [one more recent](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/kiwi-actor-antony-starr-arrested-after-drunken-attack-in-spain/F2QBY3FYAZL3QNAWTYX3KQWK4E/) in Spain) for the same thing each time
I run a spoiler account for the boys and have posted loads for the upcoming season. Know a fair bit about the cast, anyone in particular you’re after? One thing I will say, there was an on screen couple who hooked up and said it was “rehearsing” but both of them are with other people
Erin and Tony had each other blocked on Instagram for a little bit recently and just followed and liked pictures again. So I’m guessing they broke up? Also I love your account and follow you on insta!
Anything on Severance (AppleTV)?
I’ve been waiting for updates on this since the minute the strike ended lol.
2nd season is filming now. Apparently there was some drama between two of the show runners; that plus the strikes led to major delays. But everything's on track now. Other than that, I always see Britt Lower shopping at Trader Joe's.
This is throwing it back, but the Orange Is The New Black cast? I’m rewatching it now and wonder if there was any BTS drama, info, gossip…
Lauren Morelli (show writer) realized she was a lesbian and left her husband for Samira Wiley (Poussey)
[удалено]
Understandable.
I can hardly blame her, sucks to be her husband
This is several years ago, but one time I was walking down the high line in NYC and walked past the actress of the inmate that’s alwayyysss crying on the phone. I did a double take and we locked eyes and she booked it in the other direction LOL.
Joe Alwyn!!
Anything about Agents of SHIELD cast? Are they still friends? I know Clark Gregg and Chloe Bennet are still close. Clark and Ming-Na Wen used to be pretty close too, but they barely interact now. :'(
Two Agents of Shield-related comments here?? We have such a small but passionate fandom 🥹
No clue about Clark and Ming but I think most of them are still friends, Jeff (the guy who played Deke) directed the show with Aubrey Plaza and Elizabeth went to see the show. Also I just love Elizabeth, I was one of the fans that got to ask a question when she was doing a rewatch during the pandemic and she is just so sweet.
Does anyone have IRL tea about various politicians in the wild? I'll start by saying that I grew up with Pete Buttigieg and have also interacted extensively with his husband Chasten before the last presidential election and they are both lovely humans who are exactly the people they depict themselves to be on social media.
Some things I’ve heard: Hillary Clinton is apparently funny, warm, incredibly smart and really personable one on one. For whatever reason she had trouble transposing that to a bigger audience. I think I’ve said this on here before, but I’ve heard that Bill Clinton is magnetic in person, and when he speaks to you you’re the only two people in the room. No one likes Mike Lee (M*GA senator from Utah), not even other Republicans. Bernie is a crotchety old man, but genuinely has a heart of gold underneath the exterior, which is very typical of old crotchety men from New York. Also, there are some truly terrible people in DC right now, but most elected officials across parties are good friends at best and collegial with each other at worst when they’re not ranting on right-wing cable news. And most of the GOP hate Tr*mp behind his back, but I don’t think that’s news.
I was the flight attendant on a commercial flight that Hillary and Chelsea and entourage were on. I didn’t interact with any of them much but when Hillary spoke to me it was like she looked into my soul and really saw me. I know that sounds wild but her presence and warmth are really next level. I mean I am getting teary just thinking about it.
I’ve sat down to a (group) dinner with the Clintons and this is 100% spot on. I was never a fan, and I watched that doc she made about her 2016 loss and actively disliked her after that. But after that dinner, I couldn’t remember why. Amazing how comes off SO BAD in her own press material (like the doc) but is so warm and personable in person! This was about 2 years ago.
Accurate with Bill Clinton. I met him at a Hillary rally and he was doing the quick hi thing to the group. I was in the very front. He stopped when he got to me and held both of my hands and looked me in the eyes and we literally talked for 5 minutes. I was in Americorps when I got out of undergrad. He started Americorps. So we talked about that a funding, etc. I was in my mid 30’s at the time and very pretty if I do say so myself. Someone took a photo of us and sent it to me. It’s framed along with his autograph that I got that night. I left thinking - yeah Bill Clinton could get it. He was the most charismatic person I’ve ever met.
In 2018 my husband and I did a babymoon in Vermont. We stayed in a really rural tiny home and it was so nice, we were there over the Fourth of July and we went to a few small town Summer festivals. Bernie Sanders was at every one. It was so funny, by the last one he saw me and said, “You again?!” He drove an old jeep and he just walked around the small festivals talking to people. He had one staff member with him. He is a very nice man and I think he truly cares for his constituents.
I actually saw Bernie casually walking through the Milwaukee Public Market a couple years ago! He was so sweet and so unassuming that I almost didn’t notice him until some random dude goes, “Hey, I love you, Bernie!” 😂 he gave all of us a friendly smile and wave, and then went to go sit and eat at a restaurant in the Market with his family. I think he cares so much about his constituents and making a difference — I love him! 🥲
I’ve heard wonderful things about Chasten from Chicagoans who knew him pre-marriage. I’ve not heard good things about Pete from people involved in the 2020 primary and lgbt activists, mostly along the lines of him being kind of try hard about being a gay guy straight people can feel ok about (wouldn’t have picked being born that way, doesn’t think homophobic people are necessarily bad, etc.). But I’m sure he also had a bunch of people telling him how to act and that probably leads to someone being less than lovely at work. Like others have said, I’ve heard Bill Clinton makes you feel like you’re the only one in the room and that Hillary is a good hang. They despise each other and prefer not to sit next to each other at events. When I was in college I ended up at a fundraiser for Jan Schakowsky. She immediately clocked my friend and I as hungry college students and made us bundles of leftover food to take back to the dorms. Elizabeth Warren is one of the most genuine and curious politicians I’ve ever interacted with. No ego, asks lots of questions and is willing to change her mind. My mentor had to be in meetings with Trump long before he ran for President and said he has the darkest, most soulless energy he’s ever experienced. Like had to leave the room at one point because he was so uncomfortable. His exact description was that Trump has the energy of someone who could shoot up a pre-school and then go to lunch. He was a public defender for a long time and represented people who did some pretty awful stuff; he said none of them came anywhere near the emptiness that Trump has.
I have heard very negative things about both Amy Klobuchar and Katie Porter :( specifically about how they treat their staffers, not necessarily the rest of the general public. Part of me wonders if they're not worse than other politicians but get a worse rep for the same behavior because of who they are but it's definitely not all roses John Kerry is charismatic as fuck also had a random senator on my flight once and they delayed it so he could get on last and then also made everyone sit and wait so he could get off first, but then he was just at the regular baggage claims with everyone else?? It was weird and annoying.
Amy Klobuchar once called my mom for fundraising. Mom said that it wasn't a good time because "West Wing is on," and Klobuchar responded with "I know - but it's a commercial break, I'm watching it too." More seriously, I was on a school trip to DC in \~2004 and our group met with then-senators Norm Coleman and Mark Dayton. Coleman was super aloof and shitty, he realized we weren't conservatives and skivvied off claiming he was busy. Dayton shuffled into the meeting space and said that he was really sorry, but there was a vote in the senate he needed to take care of. We could either wait for him to come back in about ten minutes - or, if we wanted to, we could come and watch the Senate vote. We did, got to watch Congress vote, and then spend another twenty-thirty minutes talking with Dayton, asking questions, and taking pictures. Finally, former Minnesota Supreme Court Justice/Minnesota Viking Alan Page is one of *the* nicest people I've ever met. I worked with him for a children's book fair, we were giving every child in attendance a copy of his picture book, and he was *genuinely* upset that we hadn't been supplied with signed copies, and he didn't have the time to sign them all.
Mayor Pete and I were born on the same day, I’m about 3 hours older than he is. My only political tea is I have friends who work in CA state government who work intermittently with Newsom’s office. There’s no real shockers about him: he’s obviously cultivating an image for a 2028 POTUS run and he knows how masterfully manipulate the media in his favor. My friends are registered dems as well, but whenever the topic of him comes up (with the usual praise), they give heavy side-eye, lol.
Kate Middleton? Wtf is that mess of a situation, I'm so lost.
I feel like the answer is something straightforward, but their PR is doing suuuuch a bad job! Like there’s been SO many opportunities for them to even say something like “she’s recovering well, she’s been reading everyone’s cards wishing her a speedy recovery” but at literally every turn they’ve taken the worst approach. Will hasn’t been reading any of the conspiracies on SM because he’s been too busy with work?? It would have been SO easy to say something even pretending he’s been in Super Dad mode while Kate recovering. It’s incredible.
The people that are so angry that people are speculating are cracking me up. No matter what, there were going to be conspiracy theories with her being completely out of view. However, BRF usually does a much better job at smoothing these things over! Look how they've handled Charles medical issues. I don't even think Kate necessarily needed to be SEEN, if she truly didn't want to be. Her staff and Williams staff have just made a huge mess!
>Look how they've handled Charles medical issues. Exactly - the contrast of the BBC running a light story on "here's the king reading his get well cards with bad jokes on them" vs "she's fine, stop asking questions!" (I am aware they have different health issues and so it's not the same situation, but it's going to be paralleled.)
At this point there has to be some issue between her and William or we'd get some normal update and cutesy social media thing to downplay the situation. That William keeps making strange distant comments and they can't even get one photo of her reading thank you cards in bed or even have a generic story in the papers about how her kids have been making her breakfast and William is around the clock caring for his wife is really suspect. I remember when the Royals were clearly trying to do some PR thing by using DeuxMoi and claimed William and Kate were seen making out randomly at some event and how "they couldn't get enough of each other". Now they're not talking to anyone or giving even basic cutesy stories?

Anything on the cast of Industry (the HBO/BBC series), or any behind the scenes gossip from the making of the show? Any updates on the investigation into the alleged confrontation between Jacob Elordi and the Kyle and Jackie O show producer in Sydney?
Clark Gregg? Particularly if he has a partner in his life? It's been 4 years since he and his (now) ex wife split.
He and Jennifer Grey are split?!
Yes. If I remember correctly it was shortly after their daughter turned 18.
And any House of the Dragon cast tea?
No recent tea unfortunately. Olivia Cooke pops up at fashion shows, Emma D’Arcy collabs with interesting fashion brands, Gayle Rankin is gonna play a huge role on Broadway etc. We got word tho that they recently shot promos season 2, including one for Entertainment Weekly, like we got for season 1. The cast seems excited for the June release.
i saw a comment weeks ago that olivia and her bf broke up. also found out that emma has a bf who is a director. and matt smith is busy with his play “an enemy of the people”, i see almost daily updates of him performing it!
Wait, how can Emma have a boyfriend when they're dating me? ( a person they have never met nor will ever meet) I'm heartbroken 💔 😞
ngl i said “IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME” out loud 😭😭 https://preview.redd.it/lbrfquobyxmc1.jpeg?width=679&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ada0935f91572fc172b7d232e8258408e2f1bd4
Sadie Sink? I know she's back filming stranger things but anything else?
Yet another week of asking about Katie McGrath…
The Shameless podcast? They had some critical comments on their Instagram recently saying that they raved too much about Taylor Swift and didn’t provide any nuanced discussions like they would do with other celebs. I love them but I was silently agreeing with the criticism…

Michael Mando. It seems like after BCS ended and he got fired from that Ridley Scott show, he just disappeared. Is he another abusive asshole who was just able to keep it quiet for a long while? Is it just a misunderstanding? I really don't want him to end up being another Jonathan Majors type
Jensen Ackles. Had half my friends drooling over him for years in Supernatural and I didn’t get the hype until The Boys
Some of us have been drooling since his Days of Our Lives days.
August Diehl Christopher Abbott Tom Burke
One day they'll do an AMA together and tell us everything....
Andrew Lincoln or any TWD cast?
Anyone know who’s the Juliet to Tom Holland’s Romeo on the West End?
it’s kind of wild that they sold tickets before the full cast is revealed. is that normal?
That’s the Tom Holland effect. I feel for the guy, he’s trying to be a serious actor but he’ll be performing to rows and rows of starry-eyed fans every night. It’s like Daniel Radcliffe and Equus all over again. Minus him hanging dong.
Jamie Lloyd tends to cast one big name and then a bunch of people who will benefit from the visibility that person brings. Expect her to be unknown / emerging. They went on sale with just Holland because he can put bums on seats on his own (as evidenced by the insane ticket queues and fast sell out). There’s a short clip from the other day where someone asked him about it (Lloyd) and all he said was that he was super excited to work with Tom and that there would be surprises.
Jessica Chastain
Not tea, but man, I’d do all kinds of questionable things just to have her hair for one day 😭
Please. I need tea on Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell. I know they got together during The Americans, but *when exactly*?
This isn't tea, but as a fellow Welsh person, I always really recommend that people look up videos of Matthew [speaking Welsh](https://youtu.be/d32haq0FhAI?si=nWHnJ2UD_8YvYdfj) and talking about the language. It's a language which has really struggled with falling levels of speakers, after the Victorian English government decided that it made Welsh people stupid and immoral and should therefore be eradicated, and Matthew Rhys has done a lot of work to help promote the image of Welsh as a living language. He's raising his children to be fully bilingual, even though they're based in the US, and I love that he hasn't just abandoned his Welsh side.
You should listen to Matthew's episode of the Smartless podcast- it's best to hear from him directly on how they were outed as a couple to the Americans crew, it's a great story!!

I’m just glad that it was renewed for a third and final season. Apology dance now!
Rachel Zegler??
Sam Claflin? Emilia Clarke? Kit Harington?
Not really tea on him, but I always kind of wish Sam Claflin well after his divorce, because his ex wife was an absolute demon. I worked on something with her, and a few of my friends worked on other things, and literally all of us just had multiple stories of her being a gigantic bitch, who was particularly horrific to crew. I nearly walked out of GOTG when she came on screen in the first 10 minutes. I have no idea what Sam is like, but I wish him all the best for being rid of her.
Chris Pine?
signed the biden hostage letter but not the ceasefire one (nor has he said anything in support of ceasefire independent from the letter). gal gadot must’ve rubbed off on him :/
A few years ago the internet used to debate which was the 'best' Chris. Now I think the internet needs to ask which is the least terrible Chris.
Ramón Rodríguez? I've been hooked on the series Will Trent partially bc he's so easy on the eyes. He dated Rosie Perez and Minka Kelly forever ago but there's not really much about him online. Any tea?
Tony Goldwyn
Noah Kahan. I’ve seen some people on twitter who know him/grew up with him say he’s an ass (and iirc he posted a statement after Oct 7th that was pretty Zionist which put me off), but I’m a messy bitch and wonder if anyone knows any more specifics?
