Before Derek and Julianne Hough danced their way into our hearts on Dancing with the Stars, they worked their magic in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. How cute was the 15-year-old big brother and his 12-year-old sister in that 2001 movie?
“Did you know @juleshough and I were in the first Harry Potter film? ✨,” the DWTS judge wrote. “We spent three months in the Great Hall, the Forbidden Forest, and even the Quidditch pitch! It was incredible to be part of such a historic moment. And I may have ‘accidentally’ taken a Ravenclaw robe, scarf, tie, and a few pieces of silverware from set… but shh, don’t tell! Just a little holiday magic and nostalgia to share with you all. Happy holidays #harrypotter”
And now, the Hogwarts police are going to be going after Derek to reclaim the stolen items.
In case you haven’t heard, Timothée Chalamet is playing Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. Today, the actor got the greatest compliment from the legendary singer.
“There’s a movie about me opening soon called A Complete Unknown (what a title!). Timothee Chalamet is starring in the lead role,” the known musician wrote. “Timmy’s a brilliant actor so I’m sure he’s going to be completely believable as me. Or a younger me. Or some other me. The film’s taken from Elijah Wald’s Dylan Goes Electric – a book that came out in 2015. It’s a fantastic retelling of events from the early ‘60s that led up to the fiasco at Newport. After you’ve seen the movie read the book.”
The fact that Dylan wrote that with the movie being a complete unknown to him is pretty impressive. It will be interesting to see if he feels the same way after he sees the movie when it comes out on Christmas Day.
UPDATE: Someone told Chalamet about what Dylan wrote, so the actor responded with, “screaming crying laughing screaming laughing pooping screaming crying THANK YOU BOB !!!! DREAM COME TRUE !!!!”
Chalamet better hope the movie is a “dream come true” for Dylan, or the spirit of the Hurricane will come after him!
So my friend and I have a thing about judging how smart we are. Basically, neither one of us is Jeopardy smart. However, she is Celebrity Jeopardy smart, while I am Jeopardy preschool smart.
Therefore, when we heard that Prime Video was giving us Pop Culture Jeopardy, we were like we have this. After watching the first three episodes, I can admit that I don’t. I lost my Pop Culture Crown, and I am not getting back.
Having said that, I will be watching more episodes. I might be stupid, but I like that feeling. Probably because I am comforted by Colin Jost’s hosting style. You can tell he is a natural at this, and he is having so much fun doing it. Well, not all the time. He didn’t like it when he had to read Rap lyrics. I never heard Alex Trebek or Ken Jennings complain like he did during that category. And that is what makes him funny. He also has a great and natural rapport with the contestants.
Thankfully, I am not a contestant because I don’t think anyone could do as bad as I would. But then again, I can bring two smarter friends with me. Because, unlike Jeopardy OG, they play in teams of three. So, there is always someone to have your back, and they can answer the questions I can’t.
On that note, the categories are interesting and creative. It is just the clues that are hard.
The winning team for each episode will be back to compete in the semi-finals early next year.
New episodes of Pop Culture Jeopardy stream on Wednesdays.
Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are back 21 years after they starred in The Simple Life. This time, the two friends are going to try their song into an Opear.
More than 20 years since OG reality icons Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie first took the world by storm, the life-long friends reunite in a new special. Follow the dynamic duo as they try to produce a once-in-a-lifetime operatic performance based on their self-coined phrase, “Sanasa.”
After watching the trailer, all I want to know is where the Fat Lady is when you really need her.
I get that they are just putting on an act, but that act is tired.
I don’t know if you know this, but Cynthia Erivo is not green like her character Elphaba from Wicked. Therefore, it took a lot to make her appear that way. The movie shared a video of her sitting in the makeup chair, going from the woman we know to the witch she became.
After watching that, I am not green with envy with all of the things she had to go through in that process.
If you have not seen Wicked, what are you waiting for?
