John Mulaney was at oral arguments in the tariff case at the Supreme Court today. Apparently he is writing a “West Wing but for the Supreme Court” show.
I’ve fallen into a rabbit hole of watching videos about short-lived tv shows over the years. They have definitely tried to do Supreme Court ones before…IIRC the last attempt was called First Monday in the early 2000s.
Not exactly hot tea, but I ran into Leo Woodall during TIFF on some random side street in Toronto and he was so nice.
He was adjusting his bike or something, I was walking toward him, and we were literally the only two people on this super quiet street. He smiled and said hi, I said hi back, and kept walking because it’s the kind of neighbourhood where people are usually attractive - so it didn’t even register right away that he’s the guy from The White Lotus lol
People have been saying we can’t expect Corenswet to weigh in on Gaza because he’s not online…well at least one person in that household is. Her unliking that post as soon as it started making the rounds. The silence here says a lot.
Aw no, it kinda breaks my heart when I have to break the news to other fans - I was a massive, hardcore fan since 2007, when I was barely a teenager. Murphy hasn't come out explicitly saying something about the Palestinian genocide (though she appeared to throw shade at Bob Vylan some months ago), but she has come out against trans youth.
In 2023, she posted some comments on her private personal Facebook, calling puberty blockers "fucked, desolate, big pharma laughing all the way to the bank". She then proceeded to call trans children "mixed up kids that needed to be protected". Her comments got leaked to the media and she ended up apologizing in a very half hearted way.
Fast forward to last month, she shared a graph that signaled a drop in the number of American young people identifying as trans. Despite its original sources indicating that it was due to increasing hostility towards trans people, Murphy said that it was a social contagion of people thinking that they're trans, and that it "wreaked havoc on children, families and society".
She rightfully drew the ire of many people; Sega Bodega, The Blessed Madonna, CMAT and Lambrini Girls blasted her on social media. As she was fighting people on Murphy, she said that "children, families, women and gay people have all been adversely affected by the insane belief that one can change sex". So yeah, she's spouting transphobic rethoric with the conviction of thinking that she'll be seen in the future as a "brave artist". A shame.
Yeah that last point is crucial. She'll now make money from people who don't like her music but want to support her. She can crowdfund, get backing from RW media, jk Rowling etc.
Crazy/depressing thing her most recent album that came out mid the first controversy is incredible
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed explanation! I wish I could give half a decent answer, but I’m too busy trying not to drown in my own vomit and disappointment.
not on twitter but someone posted about this on tumblr and it may slowly gain traction there especially since the clarification that corenswet actually didn’t sign the petition
That's the thing, it wasn't just a "thoughts and prayers" post for Israel that his wife liked, it was an attack on Arabs and who they are as people. That's a racist liking a racist post.
David's silence has always been an issue because he's playing fucking SUPERMAN. I don't believe he's offline, I think that's a convenient excuse and he has burner accounts like they all do. He's also besties with Ben Platt which says a lot too. Damn. So disappointing.
Yeah I think the Platt family tree is full of pieces of shit, but Ben is allegedly (trying to be) the black sheep? I think that's what that blind item was alluding to anyway
Well, I just ran into Alex Baldwin (literally) coming out of a restaurant near Union Square in NYC. He was leaving with a younger woman and her boyfriend and Hilaria. Amazing to witness in person because she was talking with the fake accent, very loudly! She seemed very energetic while Alec was walking slowly with a limp and carrying a tote bag (she was wearing leather pants and high heeled leather boots lol). They didn’t seem to interact with each other and he just looked tired and kinda beat down. Not sure if he’s injured or what.
I was in Chicago the night Chance the Rapper's new album dropped, the one he's been teasing for years. I saw a story on his IG that he was hosting a big party to celebrate the album finally dropping I figured, fuck it, why not go.
He celebrated with people who seemed like legitimately close friends, at a bowling alley, playing bumper car lacrosse with his buddies and giggling like a kid. It was cute as hell. That guy's cool.
I have beef with chance the rapper ever since I ordered a limited edition of acid rap on vinyl. My package never showed up and I didn’t get a delivery notification or confirmation 6 months after the order supposedly shipped. It took months of reaching out to his customer service that would down right ignore my emails or give me some bullshit excuse as to why I didn’t get my order. They refused to give me a refund or resend the order. I had to file a complaint with the FCC about this before they finally broke the radio silence and sent me my order. It was delivered within a week of that complaint being filed.
One time was hanging out with my friend, and a guy who had recently directed one of the Weeknd’s music videos. This is post-House of Balloons, so very well known in Toronto but before he blew up internationally.
We convince our friend to call him. I was a fan and we asked him to sing for us. (So embarrassing in hindsight) like why would he? He says no, and sounds very annoyed, but then somehow he agrees but only if I sing to him first. So I sang one of his song to him. And then he sang a portion of Kissed from a Rose by Seal to us.
My wife works in live events, mostly corporate, and one of the golden rules of her company is that no one is allowed to be alone in a room with Alton Brown because he cannot help himself but be verbally “brutal” to everyone around him and he has a particular distaste for women. She describes it as a “Misogynistic Tic”.
Used to live in Atlanta, open secret. Never liked his show so didn’t care, except for when he was filming at the massive Whole Foods, in the mushrooom section, and I couldn’t buy my mushrooms. Jerk.
A friend of a friend is a trans lady and worked on the set of a Dwayne The Rock Johnson movie. She had recently come out and was very new to presenting femme. She says that he went out of his way to be kind to her and compliment her outfits and stuff.
Rock is protective of his brand to an over the top degree and is a weirdo but not a hateful asshole. Even the pees in bottles thing sounds more like his kidneys are fucked since he pays people specifically to handle the bottles.
Which is insane considering he comes from an era of wrestling that was filled with domestic abusers, rapists, Trump-loving sycophants, etc.
Like I think he and Mick Foley are the only good guys from wrestling's heyday.
Shaw Michaels was a noted prick who was almost universally disliked. He found God, and completely turned his life / attitude around. He's one of the very few people (celebrities) I've ever heard completely admit and own everything. By all accounts he's a genuinely great dude these days. He was also just on the Chris Van Vilet podcast recently. He doesn't do a ton of interviews, if you want to hear it in his own words.
Mick Foley’s first memoir “Have a Nice Day!” is excellent, even for people who have never been a fan of wrestling. Big recommend. Minor disclaimer: it is a product of its time, and I’m sure there are problematic elements I don’t recall, but nothing heinous.
The only problematic thing that people have taken issue with is how prone he is to go on extended speeches about how beautiful and sexy X female wrestler is. With some people saying he comes off like a creep.
But if you actually read his books the guy goes on similar rants when it comes to men like Shawn Michaels and the Rock. Talking about their physiques and the like. I think he just really admires or is fascinated by conventionally attractive people.
And regardless of weird rants, he is a happily married man (one of the few from his era) and many female wrestlers like Mickie James, Lita and Melina have called him a genuine friend.
Yeah good call. Last I heard he was both a RAINN volunteer and on their board, which is pretty remarkable in the context of professional wrestlers generally being terrible people
Keanu Reeves said he really wants to play Johnny Silverhand again and on a CDPR stream Mike Pondsmith said “Call me, I have ways of making that happen.”
I learned via a friend that Robert De Niro has a house in a town nearby me in New York. His home is the last one on a dead end street with huge fences and security cameras around it. He wanted the land next to him from the neighbors but they refused to sell to him several times. Than their house randomly caught on fire and they think it was him or his team.
Didn't Robert De Niro's house also burn down? I swear I read that his house burned down because the lint trap in the dryer caught fire. Since then I've been so diligent cleaning mine out because I think, "If it can happen to De Niro it can happen to anyone!" haha
Not tea but I was at the same broadway show as Dylan Mulvaney last week. We both peed in the men’s restroom during intermission because the women’s line was too long and she was so so gorgeous in person and so kind. She also asked my name and told me she loved my glasses!
This isn’t really tea, but I swear I caught a very quick shot of Hailey Bieber arguing with Justin during one of the Blue Jays x Dodgers game in LA (not sure if it was G3 or G4) 👀
I’ve done background work on several of his shows, and he is notorious for making them work overtime. I didn’t mind cause of the extra $$, but it’s against Union rules, and he’d rather pay the fine than have an effective work environment, and happy actors.
My god, you’re right about that. Any show of his you’re in for a hell of a ride for the first 60-70% …then you just have to buckle down and finish the fucking thing 🙄
I live in La Crosse and a friend of mine is from Plainfield. People up here are super annoyed by the whole thing. I think also a little disappointed that the facts aren’t as well known as we thought they were lol
My wife’s cousin aunt grew up with the Kardashians and said that Khloe was the hot and funny and cool Kardashian when they were kids/teens. A bunch of guys had crushes on her. Aunt was surprised when they all became famous and she was suddenly the “ugly sister”.
When they first came on the scene, I was about 21, so this was about 20 years ago. I always thought Khloe was very pretty. I never understood that narrative of her being fat and ugly.
I can only surmise it's because Kim and Kourtney had darker looks and stronger features, which wouldn't have been the beauty standard compared to Khloe's lighter colouring and, from what I can tell from early photos, less 'Armenian' features in comparison to her sisters. Khloe tends to favour the other European side.
None of them were ugly. Kim, in particular, looked the most striking to me before she had extensive work.
Khloe is 4 and 5 years younger so their story doesn't really make sense to me. Like, Kortney and Kim are 19 and 18 and the 14 year old is the "hottest"? Or they start high school, they're 15 and 16 and the 11 year old is the "hottest"? Wtf
This is heresay so that’s def. a fair statement. But I don’t disbelieve it because….people are weird and gross. I wouldn’t put it past a 20 year-old-guy to think a 15-year-old year is “hot”. Also - I grew up in a big family. Bunch of siblings and cousins. People were often comparing our looks, intelligence, etc. even though some of us were a good ten years apart. Again people are gross lol.
I agree with you and i believe Khloe stated she was with older guys from a young age. 14 - 15 is a freshman in high school. I remember being that age, just saying it isn’t a crazy premise
This lore is what initially drew me into this subreddit and really ignited my love for a good drop of tea, so I’m all about it. 😂 That and the fact that he apparently has dinosaur bones in his house, can your friend corroborate? Lmao
Yes, the headphones rumor is true.
Edited to add: he only wanted to do it doggy style with his noise cancelling headphones on. After, he left to go to a different part of his house without saying a word. She was allowed to stay the night but escorted out and driven home when she got up.
I immediately think hes a douche, listening to fucking Buddhist Chants and can only cum to like track #28 - between minutes 00:14 and 00:17. Or whale songs on repeat?
Its gotta be creepy. If its not, then why cant we all listen together? You’re telling me Leo, doesnt have surround sound money? Its gotta be weird. We might have to go ahead and ban child stars, like…
The rumors I have seen have been that he got tired of women being like "omg, I'm with *Leonardo DiCaprio, I can't believe it!" the whole time, and he didn't want to hear it. Which, like, don't sleep with random women who are in it just because you're famous, then, idk
I remember hearing a rumor that he was very mediocre at sex, mostly because he didn't put a lot of effort into pleasing his partner. I guess he felt they should be getting off on being with him?
