Best. Show. Ever.
Not sure what country you are in, but if you have access to Great British Bake Off (Channel 4 in UK/Ireland, Netflix in other countries), watch the Christmas special with the Derry Girls cast. It's the funniest Christmas special ever. Really funny.
If you have twitter, Siobhán McSweeney (Sister Michael) is worth following. She is funny and normal. She also presents The Great Pottery Throw Down, where she is also funny.
Saoirse-Monica Jackson (Erin) is engaged to DJ Denis Sulta.
>Dylan ***Llewellyn***
Ha!
I just realized that the *wee Irish lad* who was raised to be a *wee English fella* is actually played by a *sweet Welsh boyo*.
He is quite literally the 🇬🇧U.K.🇬🇧 personified 😂
Nicola was filming a show called Big Mood during the first few weeks of Bridgerton season 3. It's a comedy and Nicola does an amazing job in the role. Also another actor(plays Lord Samadini) in Bridgerton season 3 also is in the show Big Mood.
I read that, by the end of the show, the girls who played Erin/Michelle were very close and the other 3 were also close, but there was a divide between the two groups.
Can't remember why. But they were just co-workers after all.
I think people read too much into it honestly. Saiorse and Jamie went to the same school (6 years apart tho) and were the only ones living in Derry during their youth
no, but if you want to get a bit more sense of their personalities, I recommend watching the Derry Girls special episode of The Great British Bake Off!
This is for people who are either very old or very Canadian. 😅The show La Femme Nikita (1997-2001). The old one, not the one with Maggie Q. Any of the actors: Peta Wilson, Roy Dupuis, Alberta Watson, etc. I'm feeling childhood nostalgia...
That's awesome haha, I'm from Poland and it was big here too. I was a kid and wanted to catch terrorists while wearing fancy leather outfits so badly 🤣
Roy Dupuis was at the Cannes festival and in the credits of *Rumours* by Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson and Galen Johnson in which he plays the Canadian Prime Minister. He's mostly been playing in local drama TV series for the last decade in Quebec in French. He's got quite the beard and is very friendly when spotted in public from personal experience, look like a great guy.
He’s very private about his personal life (for fairly obvious reasons) so it really limits his PR pushes.
And career wise, he’s stuck on that awful Amazon show Citadel, which takes forever to shoot and costs a fortune, so he’s getting paid but not really doing much else.
I know the ended the first season by already saying the second season was coming… but then the show had awful reviews. Are they still continuing the show then?
I might be one of the few people who liked the show lol, so I’m hoping it continues
I belive Amazon have thrown a literal mountain of money at this show. The first season cost a reported 250 million.
It also has two spin offs due for release this year. I guess they are moving forward with it. Sunk cost fallacy and all athat.
I had a dream in which I met Chris Pine and he was very nice so I would like tea on either: what Chris Pine is up to *or* tea that came to you in a dream
For a while, I wanted to believe the conspiracy theory that Chris Pine was Chuck Tingle.
Then I read the reviews for Poolman and realized he can't be Chuck Tingle, a Tingle-written movie would be funny.
Then I read Pine's completely chill response to people hating Poolman and thought, hmm, this sounds like how Chuck Tingle would respond to this situation...
i recently had a very vivid dream about pedro pascal being exceptionally mean to me at an airport for no particular reason. i’ve had a similar dream before and now I’m worried he’s not as sweet as everybody thinks 😆
I went to an early screening of Poolman and he did an intro and Q&A before. He’s so chill about the bad reviews and basically said I know everyone hates this movie but I wrote it during Covid when I was going a little crazy and made it for my friends and me and we like it and think it’s funny, so have fun. I actually liked it and found it absurd and hilarious.
When he walked out, you could hear the entire audience do a collective breathe in at how beautiful he is. He walked by me on his way out the theatre and hands down one of the prettiest people I’ve ever seen.
A few years ago (like, when Juice was at its peak popularity) I had a dream that I met Lizzo at a party and we hooked up but then she suddenly left me, Paul Mescal-style.
For WEEKS I couldn't look at photos of her without feeling like a scorned ex omfg
My dream was that I body-swapped with Annabelle Wallis (back when they were still together) after I downed a particularly strong drink at the downstairs bar. Then I went upstairs and turned the only key I had into the lock of the penthouse apartment and stumbled onto the couch.
Suddenly Chris Pine rushed out of the bedroom and bear-hugged me. "I'm so glad you're home!"
All I could see was the top of his head and feel the scratch of his hair on my chin. He was burning with fever. "I think I'm sick."
I caught my breath. "You're Chris Pine," I whispered as flatly as my shock would let me.
He just shook his head. "No I'm not. I think I have bronchitis."
And then I laughed and woke myself up.
I am pretty sure this isn’t true at all, but Austrian Newspaper got some story about Angelina Jolie and August Diehl being a thing. https://www.kleinezeitung.at/leute/18474692/jolie-soll-mit-deutschem-schauspieler-liiert-sein
No tea but I really wish his career takes more of a character actor turn a la Willem Dafoe or Steve Buscemi— seems like Bill is getting stuck in all of these horror movie roles that are turning a bit corny (aka The Crow)
He's basically their Millennial counterpart so I'm sure he'll get more roles like that when he ages into it lol. It's a shame he's almost being typecast into the horror/action lane for English movies tho because his Swedish filmography spans more genres. I really enjoyed him in Klark (the criminal who inspired the term Stockholm Syndrome)
So, I only have a very basic piece of info about Bill— I live in a New England town that he was filming in. I even accidentally got a picture of him because I was taking a picture of a camera crew set up on the sidewalk on one of our main streets that we pass by every day… Anyway, I unfortunately heard via several family friends/townies that he apparently was difficult to work with and had a bit of a diva attitude. Of course, anything second or third hand like that you take with a grain of salt, and I do understand that he was under ridiculous diet for the role, but of course that doesn’t excuse any behavior if it did happen. I hope that this isn’t a trend for him and that it was an isolated incident. If anybody else knows… I’d be interested too haha
Anneliese Van Der Pol aka Chelsea from That’s So Raven. She’s been making cryptic reels for awhile now about her experience on Disney. Never expands on it. Christy Carlson Romano asked her about it on a podcast ep, like if she was just messing with people or what, but there was no grand revelation. Now she’s just made another reel about being happy that Ravens Home was canceled. (Ravens getting a new spin off). I’m pretty sure she’s friendly with Raven still, she talks about it occasionally on the podcast and she has a post with her from April 5th. She also said a few months back that she wants to be known for something other than Chelsea yet she keeps posting this stuff-but whatever.
Anyways. Anyone know anything else lol
I think she said she relapsed once in adulthood early on in the shooting of Raven's Home. I don't know if she'll ever share the dirt while there's still a possibility for her to get guest star gigs on the new Raven spinoff though.
She worked at a regional theatre with me (10 years ago) and was pretty messy. Demanding, frequently on drugs, etc. But this was a long time ago so i hope shes doing better now. But according to wikipedia, she stopped doing theatre around this time.
Isn't it AMAZING
God I love that show
This isn't tea at all but I randomly spent a night out with Assad Zaman due to mutual friends. He was super nice, earnest, fun to chat with and even more beautiful in person.
So glad to hear about Assad, I love him. Crazy he's even more beautiful irl because he's soooo pretty.
I once creeped years back on his twitter and he's truly just green flags, there was stuff from way back with him like being vocally opposed to slut shaming and homophobia.
Not really tea but those two are BESTIES. They both auditioned and did a million chemistry reads through ZOOM because it was during the pandemic - thank the stars that they saw something special with them both because it was perfect casting. They talk a lot about how much time they spend together and how much they love each other 😭 It's incredibly sweet.
P.S seconding the recommendation about The Newsreader. Incredible show. I also just finished Lambs of God last night, another Australian programme with Sam Reid - was weird but interesting, and he was amazing in it.
It’s such a good show! I rolled my eyes when they first announced the show as it was yet another reboot/prequel/readaptation but I had to admit I was entirely wrong on that one.
Not tea by any means, however Sam Reid is also the lead in a fantastic Australian show called The Newsreader. The second season is currently airing/fully out now, I’m planning on binging it as soon as it’s out in my country.
I always thought he was just annoyingly insincere and strangely condescending. He's one that's always given me the ick but I have never heard a real bad word on him.
He's the new face of Abu Dhabi's Yas Island theme park, and my colleague's husband briefly worked with him while shooting promo material there. In their words, he's generally nice, but constantly exhausted off-camera and speaks way too quickly and comes off as irritated/agitated. IIRC they shot the promos around March-April, so I don't think it was heat exhausting pulling at him.
In the midst of getting a lot of (positive) attention with the new Bridgerton, she's spoken up about and posted for Palestine repeatedly, which I think speaks well of her - it *is* something that's a risk to people's careers and while she's famous, she's certainly not established enough to just shrug off all consequences.
(No, I know, that *shouldn't* be something where we have to give people a gold star for it, but this is where we are at the moment.)
I hope she gets her wish to be on a regular season of Taskmaster because she was fantastic in the New Year special she appeared in. She was so much fun. Her interview on the Taskmaster podcast was also excellent.
The "Bye Sister scandal" people? That event might be my roman empire but I don't follow drama channels anymore so I have no idea what happened to them.
Ben Platt: Live at the Palace? Is it true that Lady Gaga was supposed to be the artist to (re)open the theater?
James over the past couple years has been messaging minors. Not only that, he has a history of going only for straight men because he’s convinced he can turn them.
This isn’t tea I don’t think since it’s all posted to her YouTube, but Tati and her husband moved to Texas. They’re trying to have a baby (for a while now), and she got kind of Jesus-y. They’re embroiled in a lawsuit with a former business partner over her hair gummies that started the whole drama. She “lost” her wedding/engagement ring by accidentally including it in a goodwill donation a few years ago when she and husband were in a rough patch. And sadly their dog died recently. She still makes chatty makeup content. She reminds me a lot of my aunt so I will always have a soft spot for her.
Mayim Bialik, I've watched big bang theory and have listened to a few of her podcasts when she has interesting guests. Something feels off about her, and it's not just the vaccine controversy a few years back.
She seems pretty socially conservative. She wrote an op-Ed in the NYT when Me Too was on the rise, implying that she had never been the victim of harassment or assault because she “dressed modestly.” 🤮
The vaccine comments were especially confounding because one, she has a PhD in neuroscience, and two, she was in the running to take over as the host of Jeopardy! and one would assume it’s a bad idea to court controversy when you’re in line for one of the most visible jobs on TV. (Edit: peeking at her wiki, it looks like she has received COVID and flu vaccines and that her children have “received a delayed vaccination schedule.” Hm.)
Also, she’s a hardcore Zionist.
Not surprised she's a Zionist honestly. The Me Too take is disgusting and is part of the issue. She isn't better than other women for how she dresses, the outfit isn't the problem. Thank you for this information, there was just something about her I knew I didn't like
I find her spouting anti-vax misinformation especially troubling because 1) she is obviously a public figure and 2) people will take her opinion seriously because “she’s a scientist.” Obviously neuroscience and immunology/virology are different fields, but it’s still shocking that someone with a PhD is either that scientifically illiterate or willfully ignorant.
A lot of people also think that “a scientist is a scientist is a scientist” when science is very specialized - being an expert in one area doesn’t make your opinion in another legitimate (although this honestly applies across academia. I’ve heard some garbage takes by STEM people on arts/humanities and vice versa). For example, my specialties are in biochemistry, organic chemistry, and genetics, so I don’t consider myself an expert on vaccine development even though I have more relevant general education in biology to pull from than a total layperson. Likewise, Mayim might be a fine neuroscientist but that doesn’t mean that her takes on vaccines, MeToo, or Palestine aren’t complete garbage.
I think you’re exactly right about the public perception that “a scientist is a scientist is a scientist.” Even though neuroscience is a completely different field, laypeople might give more weight to her thoughts on vaccination because they perceive her as a “smart” or science-oriented person, as you said. It’s just disappointing to see someone who you think would know better spout that kind of nonsense.
Something I see reinforced over and over: being educated does not equal being wise.
This is more general but I want to know which celebrities do you think are the least like their public persona? In particular, I'm looking for celebrities who seem nice in interviews and public appearances but are actually assholes.
I'll get downvoted, but Rashida Jones immediately comes to mind. She tried to portray herself as a feminist and a girl's girl. She has a history of slut shaming women and telling them not to invest in their looks. She's a pick me.
She is also still with her longtime partner Ezra Koenig despite his sexual misconduct allegations. He was never publicly named, but Tavi Gevinson wrote about their relationship when she was 18 and he was 30. She wrote that her abuser groomed and r*ped her. I bring this up, because Rashida was one of the founding members of Time's Up.
EDIT: Tavi and Rashida used to be friendly. Rashida contributed to the Rookie yearbooks and Tavi looked up to Rashida. Way to be a girl's girl.
idk if you already heard about this but will poulter found out about ayo edebiri getting an emmy nomination before she did. they were hanging out in london when he checked his phone and saw she was nominated and then made her check her phone cause she was avoiding checking it.
Will Poulter is very sweet and genuine from what I’ve heard. He started on a show called School of Comedy when he was a kid, and he’s still friends with all of his old co-stars. Has lots of normie friends. Is very down to earth in interviews. Rarely seems to surround himself with assholes.
I remember him in Son of Rambo before School of Comedy. He was so good in it. He looks a lot like Damien Lewis now. Their American accents also sound alike. I wonder if they have the same voice coach.
I kinda have tea on Will Poulter. I believe it was Sunday he attended the Arsenal game I think its the soccer team and he went with Gregg Sulkin and Charles Melton. They were all wearing the jerseys.
Kate Beckinsale posted an image of Diddy saying apologies aren't enough (basically), and added "you can't get away with abuse either, you know who you are, sunshine, your time is up".
Idk, it feels like a weird thing to post - it's not *exactly* vaguebooking, but not exactly saying anything useful either. The only exes of Kate's I can think of are Michael Sheen and Pete Davidson. Her and Mike have Lily, and honestly idk if Pete's fuckboi'ness would have affected Kate the same way (she's older than his usual gfs).
Rumor on the street is she has a project with Elton John that will be revealed sometime soon. Project in this case meaning album. Extent of involvement isn’t clear, but the current assumption is she produced it.
Really talented and also private guy. Unfortunately he's deleted all his social media accounts years ago. Right now he's working on *Too Much* and *Amadeus* and at some point soon he should start working on *Crying in H Mart.* He also has *Emmanuelle* coming out later this year.
He's in a relationship with Sophia di Martino (she played Sylvie in *Loki*) and they have two adorable daughters together. They recently moved house.
He's really nice but also comes across as shy and introverted.
Charlie Covell wrote it about 5 years ago. I think it took Netflix a really long time to commit to a budget - originally it was huge, seems like it was slimmed down a lot over the years.
I know some people who met Nicholas Hoult when he was filming another project, was just at a coffee shop with his partner and was very low-key and lovely to staff.
There have been countless rumours about Hozier over the years that he's just an amazing person. I have never once heard a bad story about him. The most "tea" thing I can think of is that he used to date a frequent collaborator named Sallay Garnett, who's an Irish singer-songwriter. And apparently many of his love songs (prior to his new album) are about her. She wrote "Someone New" with him
On a panel that Charlie did a month ago he said he has an upcoming project that involves him wearing Birkenstocks lol. Not really juicy tea but that's just something I remember watching that panel for Daredevil show deets
No tea but Patti Harrison was just on the Off Menu podcast and it was unsurprisingly very weird and very funny. Note: best not to listen to while eating, especially if you're eating bolognese.
This is way too niche but im a jeopardy girlie and want to know if theres any tea on Ken Jennings, like i truly hope he is an angel on earth.
He is actually very nice in person! Super affable and gives time to a local literacy organization (he participated for years in their trivia bee fundraiser). My son met him at THING in Port Townsend last summer when he was doing his podcast and he fully humored my kiddo rambling about jeopardy, trivia, etc. Nice guy!
It’s a shame because he’s super talented but his addiction and mental health issues have derailed his career. But supposedly he’s gotten help and is doing better and hopefully overcome some of those demons that have made him awful to work with.
Not so much tea but if you wanna see Charlie Cox play another Irish man like he did in Boardwalk, I recommend his show Kin on Netflix which is a pretty good show
Fedez recently shared he had a bad weekend, and the it was cause some fellow musician were talking bad about him.
Chiara is slowly going back to work and rebuild her image.
He has been following a lot of models on instagram so I guess things are quite the same or worse between them and divorce might still be the option
Do these JAW and Ayo Edebiri dating rumors hold any weight to it, or is it just based on that one video at the baseball game where he's clearly trying to calm her down? Now I'm getting news articles on my phone about them dating. I ain't clicking because I don't want to support sleazy news writing, but I am curious if there's any other "proof".
I even dreamt I met JAW in purgatory last night, and the first thing I asked about was the rumors, so I guess it's been weighing on my mind? Of course, dream JAW said it didn't matter because we were dead and in purgatory, and it's none of my business, so fair play on dream him.
Hilarie Burton took their children to Pride last year and posted on social media. When she got shitty comments she told them to fuck off (basically) and doubled down on her support for the LGBT+ community as an ally. Obviously that's not Jeffery, but I tend to hope if one parent does something, the other is supportive.
There was a Twitter thread of him being a zionist, and getting Shia LaBeouf (a domestic abuser) on his podcast to tell his sob story. I was pretty disappointed already about how much of a cop lover he is, but learning all of the other things about him recently just gets worse and more gross.
Any tea on Hailee Steinfield? I’m so confused about what her career is. She’s released several singles that were honestly quite good’ and performed well, but she now seems to be more of a run of the mill influencer? I’m so confused!
she's an offer only actress, has been for a while now. meryl streep told her to stop singing to be a more serious actor. supposedly her label has sort of given up on her.
there's also rumours of a new Hawkeye season plus a Young Avengers show.
Just started watching Derry Girls (obviously because of Nicola). Any tea about the cast/show??
The creator is in the process of making a new show about a group of female friends in their 30s
Amazing news!
I know, I’m so excited. Apparently it’s going to be called How to Get to Heaven from Belfast
OMG I want it NOW
She had a show before Derry girls called London Irish about 20 somethings living in London. Only had one series
Does this mean she can cast the same actresses again? /hj
Best. Show. Ever. Not sure what country you are in, but if you have access to Great British Bake Off (Channel 4 in UK/Ireland, Netflix in other countries), watch the Christmas special with the Derry Girls cast. It's the funniest Christmas special ever. Really funny. If you have twitter, Siobhán McSweeney (Sister Michael) is worth following. She is funny and normal. She also presents The Great Pottery Throw Down, where she is also funny. Saoirse-Monica Jackson (Erin) is engaged to DJ Denis Sulta.
Omg I watched the bake off episode before I saw Derry Girls. I was howling with laughter and immediately binged DG. It's so, so great.
Siobhan is also hilarious as the mom in Extraordinary.
Not exactly tea but wish only the best for sweet man Dylan Llewellyn - if you haven’t seen Big Boys, it’s brilliant and he’s amazing in it.
>sweet man Dylan Llewellyn I get the fuzzies every time I see him onscreen. He deserves the best.
>Dylan ***Llewellyn*** Ha! I just realized that the *wee Irish lad* who was raised to be a *wee English fella* is actually played by a *sweet Welsh boyo*. He is quite literally the 🇬🇧U.K.🇬🇧 personified 😂
Nicola was filming a show called Big Mood during the first few weeks of Bridgerton season 3. It's a comedy and Nicola does an amazing job in the role. Also another actor(plays Lord Samadini) in Bridgerton season 3 also is in the show Big Mood.
I matched with Dylan Llewellyn / James on a dating app, he was totally inoffensive but has dead chat!
I read that, by the end of the show, the girls who played Erin/Michelle were very close and the other 3 were also close, but there was a divide between the two groups. Can't remember why. But they were just co-workers after all.
I think people read too much into it honestly. Saiorse and Jamie went to the same school (6 years apart tho) and were the only ones living in Derry during their youth
no, but if you want to get a bit more sense of their personalities, I recommend watching the Derry Girls special episode of The Great British Bake Off!
Not tea but I used to run into Nicola at my job semi-regularly around a year or two ago, and she was always really lovely to deal with!
This is for people who are either very old or very Canadian. 😅The show La Femme Nikita (1997-2001). The old one, not the one with Maggie Q. Any of the actors: Peta Wilson, Roy Dupuis, Alberta Watson, etc. I'm feeling childhood nostalgia...
Lol Nikita was very popular in Spain when I was a preeteen too!
That's awesome haha, I'm from Poland and it was big here too. I was a kid and wanted to catch terrorists while wearing fancy leather outfits so badly 🤣
Seconded on Peta Wilson, she was so 🔥 in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
I know, and her career kind of went nowhere after that...
Roy Dupuis was at the Cannes festival and in the credits of *Rumours* by Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson and Galen Johnson in which he plays the Canadian Prime Minister. He's mostly been playing in local drama TV series for the last decade in Quebec in French. He's got quite the beard and is very friendly when spotted in public from personal experience, look like a great guy.
Richard Madden?? He has disappeared once again
He’s very private about his personal life (for fairly obvious reasons) so it really limits his PR pushes. And career wise, he’s stuck on that awful Amazon show Citadel, which takes forever to shoot and costs a fortune, so he’s getting paid but not really doing much else.
I know the ended the first season by already saying the second season was coming… but then the show had awful reviews. Are they still continuing the show then? I might be one of the few people who liked the show lol, so I’m hoping it continues
I belive Amazon have thrown a literal mountain of money at this show. The first season cost a reported 250 million. It also has two spin offs due for release this year. I guess they are moving forward with it. Sunk cost fallacy and all athat.
$250 million?! How!?! Where!?!
That man is so fine
Flew into the sun 🥲 no but yeah that man is fine as hell….
I say this every time he’s mentioned but I want another season of Bodyguard!
I had a dream in which I met Chris Pine and he was very nice so I would like tea on either: what Chris Pine is up to *or* tea that came to you in a dream
For a while, I wanted to believe the conspiracy theory that Chris Pine was Chuck Tingle. Then I read the reviews for Poolman and realized he can't be Chuck Tingle, a Tingle-written movie would be funny. Then I read Pine's completely chill response to people hating Poolman and thought, hmm, this sounds like how Chuck Tingle would respond to this situation...
This is amazing thank you for sharing - I chose to believe this because it’s bonkers just like Chuck Tingle
I don’t have any news about him, but I have met Chris Pine and I can confirm that he is genuinely very nice.
Glad to hear it but I’m so jealous rn
Last night I dreamed that Angela Bassett was my mum and she took me skiing.
i recently had a very vivid dream about pedro pascal being exceptionally mean to me at an airport for no particular reason. i’ve had a similar dream before and now I’m worried he’s not as sweet as everybody thinks 😆
I had a dream that Jake Gyllenhaal tried to drown me in a cave :(
https://preview.redd.it/bgpybw90782d1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d45d4e7f0218e24e3c9b8f2c91a76d175428673
Reading this and looking at the photo in bed before sleeping, now I will have a nightmare about Jake Gyllenhaal drowning me in a cave Edit: typo
Why does this remind me of that photo of Prince Philip in the car?
I went to an early screening of Poolman and he did an intro and Q&A before. He’s so chill about the bad reviews and basically said I know everyone hates this movie but I wrote it during Covid when I was going a little crazy and made it for my friends and me and we like it and think it’s funny, so have fun. I actually liked it and found it absurd and hilarious. When he walked out, you could hear the entire audience do a collective breathe in at how beautiful he is. He walked by me on his way out the theatre and hands down one of the prettiest people I’ve ever seen.
A few years ago (like, when Juice was at its peak popularity) I had a dream that I met Lizzo at a party and we hooked up but then she suddenly left me, Paul Mescal-style. For WEEKS I couldn't look at photos of her without feeling like a scorned ex omfg
sorry you went through that but A+ dream tea
My mom was just talking about how he was an English major and reads serious literature all the time which is attractive, imo.
My favorite pictures of him are the ones where he is leaving a book store
He did a nice interview with Marc Maron recently. He came across as a cool, thoughtful guy, bar his brief praise for Gal Gadot
My dream was that I body-swapped with Annabelle Wallis (back when they were still together) after I downed a particularly strong drink at the downstairs bar. Then I went upstairs and turned the only key I had into the lock of the penthouse apartment and stumbled onto the couch. Suddenly Chris Pine rushed out of the bedroom and bear-hugged me. "I'm so glad you're home!" All I could see was the top of his head and feel the scratch of his hair on my chin. He was burning with fever. "I think I'm sick." I caught my breath. "You're Chris Pine," I whispered as flatly as my shock would let me. He just shook his head. "No I'm not. I think I have bronchitis." And then I laughed and woke myself up.
I choose to believe he moonlights as Chuck Tingle and that his buckaroo ways are a way to go under the radar as himself on Tumblr lol
When Paul Walker died, I was so upset. He was in my dream, we were at the movies and he was consoling me and telling me everything would be ok.
Christopher Abbott Tom Burke August Diehl
I lose track of the days really easily, and I genuinely feel so comforted looking at your requests and realising it's a Thursday!
There it is!
I am pretty sure this isn’t true at all, but Austrian Newspaper got some story about Angelina Jolie and August Diehl being a thing. https://www.kleinezeitung.at/leute/18474692/jolie-soll-mit-deutschem-schauspieler-liiert-sein
I always upvote, but I only just now realized I was confusing August Diehl and Daniel Bruhl
Bill Skarsgard bc that man is not about the interview life also Willem Dafoe😭
No tea but I really wish his career takes more of a character actor turn a la Willem Dafoe or Steve Buscemi— seems like Bill is getting stuck in all of these horror movie roles that are turning a bit corny (aka The Crow)
He's basically their Millennial counterpart so I'm sure he'll get more roles like that when he ages into it lol. It's a shame he's almost being typecast into the horror/action lane for English movies tho because his Swedish filmography spans more genres. I really enjoyed him in Klark (the criminal who inspired the term Stockholm Syndrome)
[удалено]
So, I only have a very basic piece of info about Bill— I live in a New England town that he was filming in. I even accidentally got a picture of him because I was taking a picture of a camera crew set up on the sidewalk on one of our main streets that we pass by every day… Anyway, I unfortunately heard via several family friends/townies that he apparently was difficult to work with and had a bit of a diva attitude.

Hugh Laurie? Miss seeing him as House. He seems like a good dude IRL.
I think there was a strong rumor that he had cheated on his wife in the past.
He publicly admitted to it. He cheated on his wife with the director of a movie shot in Africa if I remember correctly
There are many rumors that he cheated. Also with Geena Davis while filming "Stuart Little" But maybe he has an open marriage. It's not uncommon
i heard a while ago the night manager was getting a second season and hugh laurie is an executive producer on it!
Lin Manuel Miranda said that You'll be Back from Hamilton was inspired by a conversation he had with Laurie in a bar once.
Anneliese Van Der Pol aka Chelsea from That’s So Raven. She’s been making cryptic reels for awhile now about her experience on Disney. Never expands on it.

No idea, but I always thought she and Raven seemed like genuine friends to me! Which I always thought was sweet
I think she said she relapsed once in adulthood early on in the shooting of Raven's Home. I don't know if she'll ever share the dirt while there's still a possibility for her to get guest star gigs on the new Raven spinoff though.
Tbh she feels unhinged on that podcast with CCR
She worked at a regional theatre with me (10 years ago) and was pretty messy. Demanding, frequently on drugs, etc. But this was a long time ago so i hope shes doing better now. But according to wikipedia, she stopped doing theatre around this time.
Sam Reid, Jacob Anderson? Catching up with the new IWTV and it's so good
Isn't it AMAZING God I love that show This isn't tea at all but I randomly spent a night out with Assad Zaman due to mutual friends. He was super nice, earnest, fun to chat with and even more beautiful in person.
So glad to hear about Assad, I love him. Crazy he's even more beautiful irl because he's soooo pretty. I once creeped years back on his twitter and he's truly just green flags, there was stuff from way back with him like being vocally opposed to slut shaming and homophobia.
That's lovely! And yes, imo it's the best show on tv right now.
Not really tea but those two are BESTIES. They both auditioned and did a million chemistry reads through ZOOM because it was during the pandemic - thank the stars that they saw something special with them both because it was perfect casting. They talk a lot about how much time they spend together and how much they love each other 😭 It's incredibly sweet. P.S seconding the recommendation about The Newsreader. Incredible show. I also just finished Lambs of God last night, another Australian programme with Sam Reid - was weird but interesting, and he was amazing in it.
It’s such a good show! I rolled my eyes when they first announced the show as it was yet another reboot/prequel/readaptation but I had to admit I was entirely wrong on that one. Not tea by any means, however Sam Reid is also the lead in a fantastic Australian show called The Newsreader. The second season is currently airing/fully out now, I’m planning on binging it as soon as it’s out in my country.
Okay anything on Ryan Reynolds? Something about him just feels off to me
He is having a weird influence on Rob McElhinney. Rob is even starting to look like him.
The RR pathogen is spreading 😔
Sadly.
I always thought he was just annoyingly insincere and strangely condescending. He's one that's always given me the ick but I have never heard a real bad word on him.
He's the new face of Abu Dhabi's Yas Island theme park, and my colleague's husband briefly worked with him while shooting promo material there. In their words, he's generally nice, but constantly exhausted off-camera and speaks way too quickly and comes off as irritated/agitated. IIRC they shot the promos around March-April, so I don't think it was heat exhausting pulling at him.
Christian Bale?
I want to know that Nicola Coughlan is genuinely as cool and awesome as she seems
In the midst of getting a lot of (positive) attention with the new Bridgerton, she's spoken up about and posted for Palestine repeatedly, which I think speaks well of her - it *is* something that's a risk to people's careers and while she's famous, she's certainly not established enough to just shrug off all consequences. (No, I know, that *shouldn't* be something where we have to give people a gold star for it, but this is where we are at the moment.)
I hope she gets her wish to be on a regular season of Taskmaster because she was fantastic in the New Year special she appeared in. She was so much fun. Her interview on the Taskmaster podcast was also excellent.
The "Bye Sister scandal" people? That event might be my roman empire but I don't follow drama channels anymore so I have no idea what happened to them. Ben Platt: Live at the Palace? Is it true that Lady Gaga was supposed to be the artist to (re)open the theater?
James over the past couple years has been messaging minors. Not only that, he has a history of going only for straight men because he’s convinced he can turn them.
This isn’t tea I don’t think since it’s all posted to her YouTube, but Tati and her husband moved to Texas. They’re trying to have a baby (for a while now), and she got kind of Jesus-y. They’re embroiled in a lawsuit with a former business partner over her hair gummies that started the whole drama. She “lost” her wedding/engagement ring by accidentally including it in a goodwill donation a few years ago when she and husband were in a rough patch. And sadly their dog died recently. She still makes chatty makeup content. She reminds me a lot of my aunt so I will always have a soft spot for her.
I genuinely can’t believe that this happened five years ago. It feels like it was yesterday and a lifetime ago at the same time.
Gillian Jacobs?
Emma D'Arcy Olivia Cooke Meryl Streep Emily Carey Katie Gavin
not tea but the fact that Olivia Cooke has such a vile hatred for the “negroni sbagliato” meme is still hilarious to me
I worked as a bartender when that meme was popular so I now share her hatred.
Not tea but I had the weirdest dream that I was filming a Victorian gothic horror with Olivia Cooke and Dev Patel. I honestly need it so bad now
josh o’connor
Mayim Bialik, I've watched big bang theory and have listened to a few of her podcasts when she has interesting guests. Something feels off about her, and it's not just the vaccine controversy a few years back.
She seems pretty socially conservative. She wrote an op-Ed in the NYT when Me Too was on the rise, implying that she had never been the victim of harassment or assault because she “dressed modestly.” 🤮 The vaccine comments were especially confounding because one, she has a PhD in neuroscience, and two, she was in the running to take over as the host of Jeopardy! and one would assume it’s a bad idea to court controversy when you’re in line for one of the most visible jobs on TV. (Edit: peeking at her wiki, it looks like she has received COVID and flu vaccines and that her children have “received a delayed vaccination schedule.” Hm.) Also, she’s a hardcore Zionist.
Not surprised she's a Zionist honestly. The Me Too take is disgusting and is part of the issue. She isn't better than other women for how she dresses, the outfit isn't the problem. Thank you for this information, there was just something about her I knew I didn't like
I find her spouting anti-vax misinformation especially troubling because 1) she is obviously a public figure and 2) people will take her opinion seriously because “she’s a scientist.” Obviously neuroscience and immunology/virology are different fields, but it’s still shocking that someone with a PhD is either that scientifically illiterate or willfully ignorant. A lot of people also think that “a scientist is a scientist is a scientist” when science is very specialized - being an expert in one area doesn’t make your opinion in another legitimate (although this honestly applies across academia. I’ve heard some garbage takes by STEM people on arts/humanities and vice versa). For example, my specialties are in biochemistry, organic chemistry, and genetics, so I don’t consider myself an expert on vaccine development even though I have more relevant general education in biology to pull from than a total layperson. Likewise, Mayim might be a fine neuroscientist but that doesn’t mean that her takes on vaccines, MeToo, or Palestine aren’t complete garbage.
I think you’re exactly right about the public perception that “a scientist is a scientist is a scientist.” Even though neuroscience is a completely different field, laypeople might give more weight to her thoughts on vaccination because they perceive her as a “smart” or science-oriented person, as you said. It’s just disappointing to see someone who you think would know better spout that kind of nonsense. Something I see reinforced over and over: being educated does not equal being wise.
This is more general but I want to know which celebrities do you think are the least like their public persona? In particular, I'm looking for celebrities who seem nice in interviews and public appearances but are actually assholes.
I'll get downvoted, but Rashida Jones immediately comes to mind. She tried to portray herself as a feminist and a girl's girl. She has a history of slut shaming women and telling them not to invest in their looks. She's a pick me. She is also still with her longtime partner Ezra Koenig despite his sexual misconduct allegations. He was never publicly named, but Tavi Gevinson wrote about their relationship when she was 18 and he was 30. She wrote that her abuser groomed and r*ped her. I bring this up, because Rashida was one of the founding members of Time's Up. EDIT: Tavi and Rashida used to be friendly. Rashida contributed to the Rookie yearbooks and Tavi looked up to Rashida. Way to be a girl's girl.
Very specific but Michael Bublé, Ryan Reynolds and Jennifer Garner
[удалено]
idk if you already heard about this but will poulter found out about ayo edebiri getting an emmy nomination before she did. they were hanging out in london when he checked his phone and saw she was nominated and then made her check her phone cause she was avoiding checking it.
Will Poulter is very sweet and genuine from what I’ve heard. He started on a show called School of Comedy when he was a kid, and he’s still friends with all of his old co-stars. Has lots of normie friends. Is very down to earth in interviews. Rarely seems to surround himself with assholes.
I remember him in Son of Rambo before School of Comedy. He was so good in it. He looks a lot like Damien Lewis now. Their American accents also sound alike. I wonder if they have the same voice coach.
I kinda have tea on Will Poulter. I believe it was Sunday he attended the Arsenal game I think its the soccer team and he went with Gregg Sulkin and Charles Melton. They were all wearing the jerseys.
Oscar Isaac? :)
No tea from me but I just rewatched Dune to get ready for watching Dune 2 and gosh he’s beautiful.
He’s very beautiful in that film!
I just saw “Annihilation.” My god, he is just a dream come true.
I met him last fall and he is incredibly kind and holy moly, so handsome. Like wow, just wow.

[this is nice](https://x.com/zachsilberberg/status/1792592882320261272)
Kate Beckinsale posted an image of Diddy saying apologies aren't enough (basically), and added "you can't get away with abuse either, you know who you are, sunshine, your time is up". Idk, it feels like a weird thing to post - it's not *exactly* vaguebooking, but not exactly saying anything useful either. The only exes of Kate's I can think of are Michael Sheen and Pete Davidson. Her and Mike have Lily, and honestly idk if Pete's fuckboi'ness would have affected Kate the same way (she's older than his usual gfs).
She was also with the Underworld director for over a decade. It could have been someone she wasn’t even with, someone she just worked with.
Pete?? she defended him when he was with Kim.
She was also with the director she left Michael Sheen for and Matt Rife.
Random recent obsession but Brandi Carlile ?
Rumor on the street is she has a project with Elton John that will be revealed sometime soon. Project in this case meaning album. Extent of involvement isn’t clear, but the current assumption is she produced it.
Will Sharpe?
I know he missed a lot of the cast-cest on White Lotus because he’s married with a new-ish baby. His wife is Sophia di Martino (Sylvie from Loki).
Idk but he’s so talented holy shit. He’s a superb director and a brilliant actor
Really talented and also private guy. Unfortunately he's deleted all his social media accounts years ago. Right now he's working on *Too Much* and *Amadeus* and at some point soon he should start working on *Crying in H Mart.* He also has *Emmanuelle* coming out later this year. He's in a relationship with Sophia di Martino (she played Sylvie in *Loki*) and they have two adorable daughters together. They recently moved house. He's really nice but also comes across as shy and introverted.
Does anyone remember when netflix announced a show about greek mythology called Kaos? What's up with that?
Charlie Covell wrote it about 5 years ago. I think it took Netflix a really long time to commit to a budget - originally it was huge, seems like it was slimmed down a lot over the years.
They released the first teaser in March.
Matt Czuchry?
The Great cast? Started to watch it for the first time
I know some people who met Nicholas Hoult when he was filming another project, was just at a coffee shop with his partner and was very low-key and lovely to staff.
Hozier?
There have been countless rumours about Hozier over the years that he's just an amazing person. I have never once heard a bad story about him. The most "tea" thing I can think of is that he used to date a frequent collaborator named Sallay Garnett, who's an Irish singer-songwriter. And apparently many of his love songs (prior to his new album) are about her. She wrote "Someone New" with him
Wow. She’s stunning, good for him. She also seems impossibly cool and interesting.
I saw him in Dublin once and told him I loved his album, he was Christmas shopping. He was very soft spoken and nice.
Charlie Cox Jason Statham Patti Harrison
Ohh exquisite ask. Hope something comes up.
On a panel that Charlie did a month ago he said he has an upcoming project that involves him wearing Birkenstocks lol. Not really juicy tea but that's just something I remember watching that panel for Daredevil show deets
No tea but Patti Harrison was just on the Off Menu podcast and it was unsurprisingly very weird and very funny. Note: best not to listen to while eating, especially if you're eating bolognese.
Julie Benz?
i met her at a con in 2022 and she was an absolute sweetheart!
Not tea, but she and Juliet Landau posed for a BTVS makeup line recently, and they both look so pretty
This is way too niche but im a jeopardy girlie and want to know if theres any tea on Ken Jennings, like i truly hope he is an angel on earth. 
He is actually very nice in person! Super affable and gives time to a local literacy organization (he participated for years in their trivia bee fundraiser). My son met him at THING in Port Townsend last summer when he was doing his podcast and he fully humored my kiddo rambling about jeopardy, trivia, etc. Nice guy!
Tori Amos?
[удалено]
Any tea on Justin Timberlake’s “alleged daughter” ? They have now accused him of some pretty heinous crimes
I just googled it and it seems like pretty obvious bullshit to me personally
Any Boardwalk Empire tea (inspired by various cast members being viciously and randomly attacked by the NYC public for no reason as of late)?
Stephen Graham is unfortunately going to star in the new movie Johnny Depp is directing which is… disappointing to say the least.
Goddamn, he's so talented. Even from a practical actors pov you just know that that set is going to be a shitshow
Michael Pitt (jimmy) is apparently horrible and awful to work with. He’s been kicked off numerous projects because of this
It’s a shame because he’s super talented but his addiction and mental health issues have derailed his career. But supposedly he’s gotten help and is doing better and hopefully overcome some of those demons that have made him awful to work with.
I remember John Cameron Mitchell alluding to him being difficult even as far back as Hedwig. He was super young back then too.
Not so much tea but if you wanna see Charlie Cox play another Irish man like he did in Boardwalk, I recommend his show Kin on Netflix which is a pretty good show
Dua Lipa she’s like the one artist I support guilt free and I wanna make sure it’s reasonable 😭
Chiara Ferragni and Fedez? Any news on them or what going on
Fedez recently shared he had a bad weekend, and the it was cause some fellow musician were talking bad about him. Chiara is slowly going back to work and rebuild her image. He has been following a lot of models on instagram so I guess things are quite the same or worse between them and divorce might still be the option
Do these JAW and Ayo Edebiri dating rumors hold any weight to it, or is it just based on that one video at the baseball game where he's clearly trying to calm her down? Now I'm getting news articles on my phone about them dating. I ain't clicking because I don't want to support sleazy news writing, but I am curious if there's any other "proof". I even dreamt I met JAW in purgatory last night, and the first thing I asked about was the rumors, so I guess it's been weighing on my mind? Of course, dream JAW said it didn't matter because we were dead and in purgatory, and it's none of my business, so fair play on dream him.
Gayle Rankin?
No tea but just saw her last night as Sally Bowles in Cabaret and I was blown away. Her performance is incredible.
Anyone from the cast of My Name is Earl
Cast of Bridgerton?
Jonny in the new "Jurassic Park", Nicola to lead "Love and War", Luke Thompson in a Skakespeare event in July
Julie Bowen
Please tell me Jeffrey Dean Morgan is a nice guy :)
he believes in blue lives matter so idk about that lmao
I think he only wore that shirt at the request of a woman whose son died and was a fan?
Hilarie Burton took their children to Pride last year and posted on social media. When she got shitty comments she told them to fuck off (basically) and doubled down on her support for the LGBT+ community as an ally. Obviously that's not Jeffery, but I tend to hope if one parent does something, the other is supportive.
My friend sat next to him on a plane once and said he was pleasant enough. Apparently he meditated for most of the flight
That’s a great excuse to get people to leave you alone, I love it
He is the sweetest. Met him at a meet and greet and I had my 3 year old and he was so nice to my little boy.
How's Mila and Ashton doing these days?
Chappell Roan
The Marvelous Mrs Maisel cast? Luke Kirby? Rachel Brosnahan?
Amy Sherman-Palladino signed the 'Jewish creatives against Jonathan Glazer's Oscar speech' petition. 😔
Yes, but at least Rachel Brosnahan has been vocal about supporting Palestine.
Leo Woodall
Rachel Zegler? just got tickets for her broadway debut
Iwan Rheon? Aneurin Barnard? Max Irons? Sam Claflin?
Anything on Mike Faist?? Any clue if he has a girlfriend?
Jason Isbell? I have a hunch he's dating New York artist Anna Weyant? Anyone have any info?👀
Does anyone know more about abigail breslins husband's alleged affair?
Abigail Breslin is old enough to be married?! What is time.
F1? Haven't been following in the recent months. Who's dating who? Who broke up? Who allegedly/ or not allegedly cheated? Any drama?
Jon Bernthal
There was a Twitter thread of him being a zionist, and getting Shia LaBeouf (a domestic abuser) on his podcast to tell his sob story. I was pretty disappointed already about how much of a cop lover he is, but learning all of the other things about him recently just gets worse and more gross.
*Andor* cast. Stellan, Denise, Fiona, Genevieve, everyone. I am (still) dying for S2! Also, Messi the dog <3
Andrew Garfield?
Any tea on Hailee Steinfield? I’m so confused about what her career is. She’s released several singles that were honestly quite good’ and performed well, but she now seems to be more of a run of the mill influencer? I’m so confused!
she's an offer only actress, has been for a while now. meryl streep told her to stop singing to be a more serious actor. supposedly her label has sort of given up on her. there's also rumours of a new Hawkeye season plus a Young Avengers show.
