Nicole Kidman and Resse Witherspoon worked together on Big Little Lies, and they hang out in Nashville. So Vanity Fair asked the Oscar winners to interview each other.
It was a lot of hearing them annoyingly praise each other. But there is one thing Kidman hates about her co-star. And that thing is that she only calls Laura Dern by her last name.
Why does Witherspoon do that? “Cause my name is Laura. And her name is Laura. And it is confusing for me,” she explained. “My name is Laura Jeanne.”
Then Kidman pointed out that Dern calls her Reese. And she was like it is still weird.
I get it. I hate calling people by my first name too. But I still do it because I am not a bitch.
My friend and I have a joke about how Jeopardy smart we are. She says she is Celebrity Jeopardy smart, and I tell her I am Elementary School Jeopardy smart. However, those fifth graders are smarter than me. So I could be wrong.
Anyways, in a few months, we can say we are Pop Culture Jeopardy smart. That is because Prime Video is launching a Jeopardy that is all about Pop Culture.
Pop Culture Jeopardy! is a brand-new twist on the classic quiz show’s “answer-and-question” format that combines the academic rigor of Jeopardy! with the excitement and unpredictability of pop culture. Contestants, playing in teams of three, will need to be experts in categories from Alternative Rock to The Avengers; Broadway to MMA; Gen Z to Zendaya as they compete in a tournament-style event for the grand prize and ultimate bragging rights.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to collaborate with our partners at Amazon to make Prime Video the home for our new Jeopardy! spinoff series,” said Suzanne Prete, President, Game Shows, Sony Pictures Television. “With Michael Davies at the helm, Pop Culture Jeopardy! is going to be a nail biter for game show enthusiasts who can expect to see teams competing at the highest level of Jeopardy! combined with a fresh twist of pop culture Olympics for the mind…it’s going to be a must-watch for long-time viewers and new fans alike.”
What is, I will be watching!
Another thing I will be watching on Prime Video is The Boys, season 5. That is right, the Superhero series was picked up for another season before this one starts streaming on June 13th.
That is not all. Elle Woods is back with a Legally Blonde prequel series.
Elle follows Elle Woods in high school as we learn about the life experiences that shaped her into the iconic young woman we came to know and love in the first Legally Blonde film.
“I truly couldn’t be more excited about this series! Fans will get to know how Elle Woods navigated her world as a teenager with her distinct personality and ingenuity, in ways that only our beloved Elle could do. What could be better than that?! I’m extremely grateful to the incredible teams at Prime Video and Hello Sunshine – along with our amazing writer Laura Kittrell – for making this dream of mine come true. Legally Blonde is back!,” said Reese Witherspoon.
Finally, Prime Video announced which celebrities are competing on Are You Smarter Than Celebrity? Travis Kelce will be finding out if the contestants are smarter than comedians Nikki Glaser, Natasha Leggero, Nicole Byer, and Ron Funches; Thursday Night Football analyst Ryan Fitzpatrick; former NFL wide receiver Chad Ochocinco; Real Housewife of Beverly Hills’ Garcelle Beauvais; Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent; podcaster Sophia Stallone; and actress and producer Lilly Singh.
Josh Lucas was on Watch What Happens Live yesterday, and Andy Cohen wanted to know if he would be interested in doing a sequel to Sweet Home Alabama.
Lucas says he is at the point where he is about to beg Reese Witherspoon to do it. Because it is her call, so when she finally dials his phone, he will be there.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t think the 2002 film needs a sequel. It ended perfectly and should be left alone. What do you think?
Things were tight on the Critic’s Choice red carpet yesterday, so celebrities were taking their opportunities to talk to other celebrities. And they didn’t care if that person was being interviewed at the time.
For example. Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon were being interviewed by KTLA, and Pedro Pascal was waiting in the wings.
Not to talk to Sam Rubin and Jessica Holmes, but he was waiting to talk to the actresses.
They wanted to talk about his sling, and he wanted to talk about being on their series. And both of them said that there is a role for him in season four.
It sounds like his character would get romantic with both of them. And he said, “I sleep with everyone on the show? I’m in!”
So, HBO, you must let him have some time off from The Last of Us to film TMS.
BTW Do you see what I mean when interviewers don’t let a moment happen? That interaction would’ve been so much better if Rubin and Holmes would’ve stood back and shut up. Not everything is about them on the red carpet.
Now that Steven Carrell’s character is dead, The Morning Show can move on from him being the villain. So things are going to change in season 3.
The future of the network is thrown into question and loyalties are pushed to the brink when a tech titan (Jon Hamm) takes an interest in UBA. Unexpected alliances form, private truths are weaponized, and everyone is forced to confront their core values both in and out of the newsroom.
That is just a description of what we can expect. But the trailer shows us there is going to be so much more. And I am here to watch every second of their lives being destroyed in front of and behind the camera.
I am a former national television news employee, and this show makes me want to get back into the business. And no other show has done that. I won’t do it, but this show tempts me.
The Morning Show, which stars Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, returns to Apple TV+ on September 13th with all new episodes.
