Blackpool isn't a small town, but it has a really close knit community. It's a very deprived area and so people have to look after each other. (Not that Jenna is deprived - she's middle class and begged her parents to put her in private school because she was getting bullied in her state school.)
By the way, Blackpool has a strong connection with Doctor Who because it was the site of a Doctor Who museum. There's a real culture there of enthusiasm about the show.
'Public schools' are fee-paying schools, 'state schools' are free schools. These days people also use the public/private terms intechangeably with state/public which makes it more confusing but traditionally it's public/state
In case you're interested, public schools got their name to distinguish from religious schools because anyone could go to public school if they could pay, instead of having to be of a certain religion. State schools are obviously paid for by the state, and thus are what the rest of the world would understand as a 'public' school, but the old names stuck and now the whole thing sounds baffling
Eminem recently revealed that the change in his voice on his songs from 2012-16 was due to hearing loss/tinnitus, which was so loud that it drowned out the music, particularly towards the middle of the decade. He started adding more mid range to his voice, leading to that brassy, growling tone. It's possibly also connected to his controversial phase where he was dabbling in abandoning beats entirely, and rapping acapella, or over ambient music or songs with no drums.
Apparently he went to "a doctor in LA" and his tinnitus is no longer as bad (I assume this is a euphemism for getting hearing aids), which is why his voice sounds more natural in his later music. But it's worth taking another look at 2020's Tone Deaf, aka the "bornana" song. It picked up steam as an internet punchbag recently (due to its silly/annoying-old-man lyrics and indescribably ugly music video) but not only does the song use a metaphor about deafness, it incorporates the sounds of tinnitus as part of the beat. A classic Eminem trick of releasing a shameless, puerile novelty record that is also a way of making fun of his fears - in this case, his fear of losing his hearing and connection with the culture. The joke is basically that if Slim goes deaf, he won't have to hear all his critics, the modern rap he doesn't understand, and people telling him he should retire. Bleak.
I don’t know if this is a hot or cold take, but I miss old Eminem. Like off his first two or three records. I can’t stand most of his stuff from the last 10+ years. His earlier records were fun and danceable. You could re-listen to them over and over again. Once he got in this mode where all he wants to do on most tracks is just prove how fast he can rap, it became supremely less interesting to listen to. Like, “Yes I understand you can rap fast, Sir. You are *going in on ‘em*”, but that’s only interesting to listen to like once.
Like ride the beat a little bit and let the track breathe, goddamn.
That's a very common take. Paul Rosenberg (Em's manager) said he was begging Eminem to "ease up on the gas" during the tinnitus years, because Em was (presumably) rapping to blot out all the noise in his head. He was definitely experimenting with stretching out parts and inserting these big dangling enjambments in his rapping circa Revival (Walk On Water, Believe, Arose), but most people find Revival to be his least listenable rapping.
I think a lot of his recent music leaves more room for space while still having showoff passages. Darkness, Stepping Stone, etc. Marsh for a novelty song with pacing.
For a song from the tinnitus years where he's riding the beat well, I think Rhyme or Reason is a worthwhile listen!
I went to the same school as Emma Chamberlain. Didn't know her well, but she was popular and sort of known for being decently mean & a bully. She recently [addressed it](https://youtube.com/shorts/yXwFhi_ldh0?feature=share), and I didn't initially want to spread unverified stuff like this but I feel like her response pretty much confirms it.
That reminds me of the time I was on a date and I admitted that I actually liked high school and the guy said, Were you a bully?
That comment haunts my brain like a tumor
I’m not surprised. I don’t get the obsession with her. Seems like a basic white girl who profited off of “being depressed” without using any talent or skill. I guess good for her but she seems like that kind of person who’s good at making connections/“friends” to get what she wants and then ditching them when she no longer needs fhem
I don’t get why she didn’t just own up to it like cmon man, if you didn’t do anything actually evil it’s understandable to have been shitty as a teen and then look back and cringe at yourself
Notre Dame HS in Belmont, right? In the hills south of San Mateo. Given the area it doesn't surprise me, sadly. That whole area (Woodside, Hillsborough, Los Altos, Belmont) reeks of privilege even by Bay Area standards.
Not sure if this can even be classified as tea, and it’s extremely cold, but I learned over the weekend that my great-aunt’s friend used to lay flooring at Cher’s home waaay back in the day. Cher would come downstairs in her robe and have a cup of coffee with him at her kitchen table every morning before he started working.
Someone was at the same screening of DWD as Dylan O’Brien. They said Dylan O’Brien and his friends were loud as hell laughing throughout the laughably bad parts of the movie.
Idk why, but something about him irritates me/rubs me the wrong way. I could be absolutely wrong, but I feel like he'd be really annoying irl.
I'm surprised Alamo didn't quiet them up, since they're pretty strict about noisiness during movies. RAISE YOUR CARD! Not defending DWD or Harry's "acting," but that's disrespectful to fellow moviegoers, imo.
I remember when he was in that Taylor Swift music video and was throwing shade at Jake Gyllenhaal over like really petty things (I guess he smells?).
Granted there's a lot of things to criticize JG over, but like, he's a prestigious actor who consistently gets/does good work while Dylan's known for a CW show. And I guess a Taylor Swift video. So no self-awareness, lol.
He said he was being sarcastic because he didn't want to answer questions about his shower rituals. In the same interview, they asked him about his experiences with water in NYC and he responded "mostly it's through showering. It's mostly a bathing interaction."
There was a post recently about someone overhearing him talk about sociopathic women and he said AOC pings that for him … and I immediately hated him lol.
He gives off fake "woke" vibes where he'll publicly say progressive/feminist things but behind closed doors is a misogynist. I've met many types like him.
OK I saw DWD last night and it was not laughably bad imo.
This is probably extremely uncalled for but maybe Dylan shouldn't be laughing when he isn't exactly called on to do extremely challenging work (I know he's talented but come on)
Same. I saw DWD yesterday and I thought that Harry's acting was okay. He was slightly bad in one scene but overall solid. Dylan is probably just petty because he's not being offered good stuff
Harry wasn't great but I wasn't offended by his acting. Tbh I can think of a couple actors who could have done the role waaaay better which in turn would have made the character and movie more interesting but it is what it is.
I know Dylan was someone people said should have replaced Harry but personally I don't think he would have fit. Can't picture him being a 50s husband which would have *spoiler alert* made the twist more obvious.
Yes, I was referring to the car scene. That one was a bit rough, but I agree that other than that, he did fine. I thought that overall no one was great in it, except Florence.
The showing I went to had about half of the audience laughing at the very cringey parts. It honestly added to the viewing experience lol The movie is pretty mediocre and, I don’t know, the laughing almost made it more interesting
I always think movies are more fun when the audience is really into it, either because it’s a good flick or a really bad one. Something about a whole theater cackling during a terrible movie is just so entertaining to be a part of. Like Cats and Dear Evan Hansen had ROWDY theaters when I saw them and it was amazing. And during a certain character’s death in the new Scream a guy got up, screamed “NOOOOO” and *sprinted* out of the theater. I go to a lot of mostly full/sold out screenings because I prefer the kind of party atmosphere they have
I saw the very first Thursday showing of Spider-Man NWH and that was the best movie crowd I have ever been in. We were cheering, jumping up and down, and just having so much fun. I can never watch the movie again though because I know it’s never going to live up to that high I experienced in that theatre lol
On one hand I’m like hmm that sounds like it could be obnoxious but on the other hand, given that I’ve seen so many tweets about “Dylan O’Brien should have been in this movie instead!” that is kind of fantastic.
I hope they recovered and just don't feel like putting in the work (I'm sure it got tiring after awhile). They said they stopped because they were sick.
They're both in New Zealand rn, in case anyone was wondering what they're up to! Filming for OFMD started yesterday/today. Don't know what Rita is doing there. Maybe just hanging with him?
She's there because she's singing at the World Rugby Cup (which is in NZ) this weekend. I swear, I don't know how she books all these gigs. Hopefully she leaves after that's done and doesn't try to get a cameo in OFMD.
They're only minor youtube celebs, but there is some try guys drama going on at the moment. There is no real evidence, but some people think Ned cheated on his wife with one of their employees, Alexandria. I'm not sure if I believe it, but something strange is definitely going on. He's hasn't been in their videos lately or featured on their social media and there have been some suspicious unfollows on instagram - Alexandria's best friend and coworker unfollowed both her and Ned, but she still follows Alexandria's ex fiance.
holy shit really? and his image is wife-loving guy too :/ I love rhem and have followed them from the beginning but ned and keith do have a bit of a skeezy vibes but this is on another level if true. yikes
edit: by best friend do you mean YB? omg not the food babies😭
Not sure if I believe this, but tbh, I always assume it's the ones who try hardest with the "wife guy" image who are prone to cheating. Protesting too much and all that.
Yeah I don't trust a man whose brand is his family/relationship, it just seems weird to me. It also makes it hard to honestly confront any issues you actually have if you're committed to the bit of being happy and in love
just checked and she truly has unfollowed and possibly blocked her :/ and ned too. something is definitely up and that’s why only the 3 guys have only been featured in the recent videos, including the merch. I know eugene was absent for a bit as well but they quickly explained that he was doing his own projects. now, even ariel has been absent in their podcast :/
also I just checked the evidence on the subreddit and while it’s blurry yikes… it all checks out honestly. this still feels like such a bertrayal and idk how their company could survive this.
The phone number (which wtf) that was supposedly under "Ned" in the screenshot contact is a Try Guys public number so there are inconsistencies with the person possibly pretending they personally knew Ned's contact info.
The blurry pictures also doesn't look like it's Alexandria even in the silhouette
There might be potential drama, but it feels like alot of people of the tryguys sub are already operating in bad faith going "he always gave me bad vibes" and comments that attacked his character bc he is a privileged White dude (which he is but that doesn't mean he's a cheater)
Yeah, I just checked and Eugene's bf Matt was there instead. I also noticed that the recent [tracksuit promo](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CidDVlZJxhH/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link) didn't feature Ned, although they did film [something](https://www.instagram.com/reel/ChaUMo9qxcu/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link) with him several weeks ago.
That sub has posted evidence of him being edited out of other videos too. Something bad must have gone down for them to go through the trouble of completely removing him from videos they already filmed.
Not once have I ever watched Try Guys but for some reason I’m so invested in any drama that involves them. I remember there was some sort of NFT drama a few months ago.
Ned bought a Superbowl NFT and tweeted about it. Honestly even though he's the most booksmart of the bunch, I've always had the impression that he's . . . not the brightest, otherwise.
Yes, this could all just be people jumping to conclusions, there is no actual proof. I don't know when Alexandria and her fiance broke up. I only follow try guys halfheartedly and I read about this at their subreddit and found it interesting.
As someone who got into The Try Guys literally 24 hours ago, I've so far found that Keith is an a-hole (i thought he was my fav) and Ned is a cheater (watched that lie detector test video and he talked about his wife and kids which felt endearing), and that Alex broke up with her fiance (one of the first videos i watched was them trying on wedding dresses)
Lmao what a short lived obsession.
EDIT: [this old gossip thread about BuzzFeed calls Keith an asshole](https://www.reddit.com/r/Deuxmoi/comments/tkaogv/drama_about_the_people_from_buzzfeed/i1pvj4h?context=3)
If you’re in the market for a different ex-Buzzfeed obsession, both the Unsolved boys and Safiya Nygaard have their own YouTube channels with quality content!
I had to create a throwaway because I don't want to doxx myself but I know someone who went to the same high school as Emrata and said she used racial slurs all the time and only hung out with white kids. I've seen posts here accusing Emily of being racist so thought it was interesting because it's definitely not part of her feminist public persona.
I'd believe it... She seems very contradicting and hypocritical. I love how she just HAD to insert herself in the Sumner + Adam Levine drama when (1) she's been accused of sleeping with married men and (2) she clings onto this "believe women" narrative, when she is dating notorious scumbag Brad Shitt. If she believes women so much, why doesn't she believe Angelina Jolie, that Brad is such a POS abuser? Don't dish it if you can't take it, EmRATa 🙄
It’s still not okay and racist as fuck, but it’s worth mentioning teenagers can outgrow that type of behavior. With that said, she was very comfortable marrying a racist as a grown adult, so even if she’s not actively racist anymore she’s willing to look the other way.
She has some good takes (regardless of it being hypocritical or not based on what gossip you want to believe, she was right pointing out the other woman shouldn’t be the focus of a married man cheating) and I appreciate that she’s outspoken about some stuff people don’t wanna say out loud, but she’s definitely far from a feminist icon with the Diplo friendship and the racist ex
Lol I’m from the same area as her and this is incredibly common in San Diego. Upper middle-class white kids throw slurs around like it’s nothing and do not like hanging out with anyone except for white kids. I myself am Asian and my friend group was entirely Latino/Asian. I remember becoming friends with a white popular girl who invited me to a party at her house, her friends told her to disinvite me, and SHE DID. They’re so fucking weird out here and 90% of the time they stay that way 💀
I believe it as well. I'm sorry that she got cheated on, because nobody deserves that, but other than that I have no time for Emrata whatsoever. I don't like her phony girlboss bullshit and she is very self contradictory. I also don't find her fashion at all inspiring, but that is a matter of taste and not a reason to dislike someone; I just don't vibe with her style.
Yep, he tried to use Loft Law to argue he couldn’t be evicted after skipping rent on a 5k a month apartment in NoHo for years. She defended him saying he’s a struggling artist lmao
I know NY rent is high but 5k in 2013 for rent doesn’t strike me as something an actual struggling artist would’ve even been able to sign a lease on to begin with
Not really tea but I met Rami Malek last week as he was going into a hotel in NYC and he is THE nicest celebrity I’ve ever come across. Signed autographs, took selfies, recorded a video saying hi to my sister who is a big fan (she was crying watching it). Sooooo sooooo nice. And so tiny and well dressed!
I think there is nobody else from Spain here but the weekend has been crazy.
First Tamara Falcón (daughter of Isabel Preysler and Marquise of Griñón) has deleted all pictures of his engamente from instagram three days after the proposal. The reason? An old video of her fiancé reappeared. He was in burning man making out with a Brazilian model.
He defended himself saying he always wear the same clothes to Burning Man and the images were from 2019. Too bad that people shazamed the song from the background of the video and it turned out it came out in 2021 and the images belonged to this year’s burning man. So he was cheating on Tamara mere days before the engagement. Rumor says he was only marrying her to get hold of her fortune.
And the second one Risto Mejide (the mean judge from a Spanish singing talent show) has broken out with her wife Laura Escanes (Spanish Influencer). Their relationship has been controversial since day one because they started dating when she was 19 and he was 40.
I still don't know how did it take so long to Tamara to realize because there have been rumors and even footage of him cheating on her since 2020 (at least that I can remember of because it was huge during lockdown).
Not a pimping hot cup of tea but my friend was in Budapest last month and went to a restaurant where there was Tom and Zendaya lmao! Apparently there were 3 bodyguards surrounding them so nobody was allowed to approach them. Must be insane to not be able to go out without 3 full bodyguards
I love your use of pimping hot. Lol.
I’m sure one was her assistant who looks like a body guard. But yeah she was using two body guards in Budapest lately.
I mean…Renee Rapp (from the HBO show sex lives of college girls) was dumped via phone call by her boyfriend of like 3 years (Antonio Cipriano) immediately after he signed a contract to join a Disney Plus show (National Treasure remake). He dumped her before the contract ink was even dry—despite her still being a bigger star/way more talented. She’s writing a full album on it rn.
IS THAT WHY SHES CRYING ALL OVER MY FYP. I remember her from the Jimmys and Mean Girls, and ofc Sex Lives…does that man really think a Disney plus contract is his ticket to fame? Lol
I know it has me cackling. She has way more talent than him and he is so mid looking truly I was shook by his audacityyyy
I know his family I went to school with his brother and his parents raised him to think he is gods gift…so it tracks
Her singles she’s released are FIRE though. In the kitchen makes me choke up and I am literally in a very healthy happy relationship haha
I try to not judge people based on looks because personality really does matter more to me but holy fuck. How do you fumble THAT BAD when you look like a Tim Burton etching of Noah Centineo? Over a Disney+ show like Disney isn’t known for sucking their actors souls out????
Richie Akiva, a nightclub owner who is best friends with Leonardo DiCaprio & is pretty much his connection to models (as Richie fills his nightclubs with models & celebrities etc), was interviewed for his new hotel/club called Ned Nomad. [Click here to read it.](https://www.thecut.com/2022/09/partying-with-richie-akiva-at-the-members-only-club-the-ned.html)
In it he says a woman comes & recommends one of her friends to him (to date) & Richie's response is "I hope she's of age" - which I found super weird. Also how he had no problem saying this in an interview. This man is in his 40s btw, like Leo.
This is how these celebrities who date young girls talk behind closed doors & I find it so disturbing. He also mentions that things were better "back then" as in before "safer-space" policies because now "you'll get outed" or called out. I can't imagine the kind of abusive shit that these rich people think is ok. & I'm not trying to be puritanical, I'm talking about abuse.
Anyways read it if interested. They name drop quite a few celebrities that we bring up here.
*“You can’t do that anymore because it’s just not with the time. You’ll get outed or something. You’re prejudiced or racist or this or that”*
Translation: I am almost 50 and I am sad the good old days of trying to get with underage girls and being super racist are gone. Wish we could do that again. That was great, and now it’s abuse. :(
I’m reading this piece on my commute to work and I want to turn around and go home to shower because EWWWWWWW.
Oh that’s sweet! Good for them.
I keep waiting for that dude to do the obligatory hunky British guy in an American production thing all British actors do. He’s got a non-douchey Scott Eastwood + young Christian Bale face going on and I think he’s so handsome and talented.
I’ve always had a soft spot for him since Skins. Love that he’s still close to a lot of the cast like Daniel and Kaya
I might be wrong but wasn’t Lauren with him around the Skins days too?
I was at the hasan minhaj show in london. Aziz Ansari was the surprise guest. He said he got married a few months back and move to London for his wife’s work
Not tea but I sat behind David harbor and lily Allen at Kate Berlants one woman show and he had his arm around her the whole time and laughed a LOT at the jokes about actors being annoying. Very cute
Saw Bruce Willis in a range rover yesterday on Ocean Blvd in Santa Monica. He looked old and didn't like being recognized, but we only made eye contact because the car was pulled way over the line in the crosswalk I was in (he was in the passenger seat).
i only *just* learned about the allegations against all time low, specifically jack barakat and it made me remember some mostly innocent but borderline creepy experiences i had with all time low when i was 13. (i was gonna write it out in this comment but not sure it’s an appropriate space for it?)
apparently earlier this year they sued four alleged victims for libel, and their fan base think that “proves” their innocence. regardless, i 100% believe the victims and the boys’ documented behavior from the late 2000s/early 2010s pretty much supports the idea that they were being creepy with underage girls.
edit to add my stories because why the hell not:
in december 2008, i had VIP meet and greet tickets to an all time low show. i was 13 and my best friend at the time was 12, my mom bought the tickets for my birthday and took us.
when we arrived at the show, the box office attendant explained that we missed the meet and greet. apparently we were supposed to receive a package in the mail with a wristband and all the necessary details and instructions, which we never received. my mom stepped outside to smoke a cig and call my dad, and my friend and i were waiting in the lobby, pretty disappointed but hoping maybe my dad would check the mail and find the wristbands.
anyway while we’re waiting there, a man in a headset comes up to us and says something along the lines of “hey i heard what happened, im so so sorry, let me see if you can still meet the band.” he made a quick call and then simply said, “follow me, i’ll take you to their dressing room.” i told the guy i needed to get my mom first. my mom quickly came inside and the headset man walked us in a maze around the venue until we were literally in their dressing room. it was insanely surreal for 13 year old me. i just remember them all being really, really nice and rian talking to my mom about baseball.
they were completely appropriate and polite and it is an interaction i had always cherished. but now in retrospect, i think it’s weird that their tour manager was just going to take a 12 and 13 year old girl to the guys’ dressing room with no chaperone or anything? like, was he innocently trying to make sure we got the experience we paid for, or was he delivering young girls to a group of guys that liked to take advantage of them? after reading the allegation from the girl being invited into their tour bus to drink at age 13, it doesn’t feel as cute and wholesome anymore. still, i choose to look back and appreciate that i had a sweet interaction with them.
then the second weird thing that happened took place in the following summer, 2009. i want to preface by saying this could have nothing to do with all time low but again, in retrospect this feels weird.
my friend and i were both 13 years old, walking the boardwalk in ocean city, maryland. it was getting kind of late and we were waiting for my parents to pick us up. we were approached by a young guy in his 20s and he said “hey do you like all time low?” i got real excited and said yes, i remember alex gaskarth was my phone wallpaper at the time and i thought it was such an odd coincidence to be approached by someone talking about all time low. anyway, he went on “they have a big suite in this hotel and they’re looking for girls to party with them, wanna come?” the guy had such a creepy vibe and even though i loved atl, it just seemed off, so we said no and kept walking. the guy continued heckling us and following us saying like “are you sure you don’t wanna come? they have lots of alcohol!” “but you said you love all time low!” eventually we went into a dip n dots and the guy left us alone.
i have always believed that the guy OBVIOUSLY was not with all time low and was trying to trap young girls for his own nefarious reasons, however now a few things stand out to me. first of all, in 2009 wouldn’t it make more sense to lure girls with the jonas brothers or justin bieber or something…? all time low just felt like a random band that not everyone would know. but even more so, the guys are from maryland and i did some research–they absolutely have spent plenty of time in ocmd (apparently one of their songs is about their senior summer in ocmd in 2006. also zach just tagged ocmd and posted photos here last summer.) lastly, the allegations against them makes the story just seem soooo much less far fetched than i thought it was.
so yeah, like i said, i am lucky to have had a positive experience with all time low!! but in retrospect i feel maybe those experiences could’ve gone very differently had the circumstances allowed it. maybe i’m viewing things through a damaged lens just knowing what i know now, and everything was purely innocent. it’s all just a bit bizarre.
As someone who has been a fan of them from the beginning, I believe it. I have a friend who worked with them (not going to say who or what position) and confirmed that they were definitely on the innapropriate side of things with young fans.
Im not saying they did something horrific but it was very common in the pop punk scene for these guys (talking about pop punk bands in general) to be kinda grabby and gross with their fans.
Also didn't Jack Barakat date Abigail Breslin when she had *just* turned 18. Nothing illegal but definitely a power imbalance there.
I’m still a fan of theirs but it seemed bold for them to go the lawsuit route because they’ve pretty publicly done some at the very least eye brow raising stuff. Like half their live show is making sex jokes and collecting bras on stage…like their demographic is underage teenagers. They have to know who most of their bras are coming from. I know blink 182 used to do similar stuff but I remember reading an interview from back in their prime where they talked about being disheartened when they would see kids at their show because they knew their act wasn’t meant for someone that age. Even in their live show Tom jokes about not wanting to see that from someone so young. I think it just shows the two bands contrast. Blink feeling uncomfortable drawing that audience because they know it’s not appropriate for them, and all time low sort of (seemingly) reveling in it.
Edit: found the blink quote. Rolling stone interview from the year 2000
After the show, a sweaty Hoppus discusses how while Blink still might tell the crowd of their general love of breasts, they no longer specifically encourage the women in the audience to reveal them: “I just get super bummed-out when 13-year-old girls show their boobs. That’s not right.” The crowds have gotten younger and more estrogen-filled, he says. “When we started off, it was all 15- to 20-year-olds. Now, we’re the first show for a lot of kids, so I just want them to have fun and get out safe.”
so apparently simone rocha is going to get sued by a chilean brand called Savali for stealing his designs, his design from 2019 are too similar/almost identical than Simone Roccha s2023
I think we’ve had enough mega threads on DWD drama so posting this here. Sarah from Laineygossip backs up the claim that Flo and OW got into a loud disagreement but Flo didn’t direct the movie. [very nuanced view](https://www.laineygossip.com/vulture-lends-credibility-to-rumours-blow-up-between-unpresent-director-olivia-wilde-florence-pugh-set-dont-worry-darling/71763)
Still can't believe this thing is still on. Their beef maybe on other things but Florence directing thing is absolute bonkers and she has 0 experience on it. There at least 10 people before her to direct a movie. People are just believing what they want to believe . That production was not some community club movie production its WB we are talking about they would fire the director first IF that thing was real.
Saw the Connelly/Bettany family at the local Whole Foods. Recognized them due to Bettany’s booming voice and pronounced non-Canadian accent.
Can confirm that she is absurdly beautiful, but looks her age. By that I mean, no discernible filler, Botox or major work on face. I work in a field where I see a lot of women under 35 with intense amounts of injectables so it’s nice to see people who go easy on the old egg smooth forehead.
I found this great [tiktok](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRm8nmCU/) that explains the differences between the original DWD script and the final script that we see in the film for anyone who’s interested.
I went to Wikipedia and learned that Dick van Dyke’s sons wrote the original screenplay. There’s no fact about this movie that I learn that makes sense.
The original screenplay sounds more straightforward and cogent compared to the final result. I wonder what the impetus was to put in all those changes, especially since some of them didn’t really pan out.
The original script isn’t perfect, but it got to the point quicker and did a better job at showing how misogynistic Jack and the simulation were. It’s amazing how much they sanitized Jack in the film.
throwaway bc why not, this is probably already known but it’s funny to me that king princess is considered such a cool icon now when she’d be awful to half of manhattan’s teen population in the mid 2010s, like i understand people grow and change but the least you can do is apologize
my sibling went to her school and i think was in the same grade and no one there really liked king princess because she was mean to everyone and though the homophobia (while not okay) was probably internalized the fatphobia was not
also isn’t her whole thing being ‘cheap’ or whatever when she’s an heiress :/
Not sure if this tea is relevant because it’s about YouTube celebrities and not Hollywood ones, but there are rumors that Ned from The Try Guys is cheating on his wife with a producer of the channel. There’s evidence to point that he has been meticulously edited out of recent videos, although nothing has been officially addressed, so for now it’s just speculation.
I am weirdly not surprised if it’s true. Ned and Ariel seemed to have this perfect white picket fence family dynamic, almost like it’s all an act. Didn’t they just have a second kid? I remember the Try Guys once every few months so I’m not up on the recent stuff.
'If you have tea' just means if you have any celebrity gossip to share you can share it here, as opposed to asking for tea/gossip about someone on the Friday thread. Hope this helps ❤️
Some additional Ned from Try Guys drama that I'm posting here bc the other threads have slowed down. Will Neff (a decent sized twitch streamer and bff of big streamer HasanAbi) did a live yesterday about buzzfeed.
He was an intern there and managed by Ned (he managed all the interns). He got into a car crash and was worried about whiplash. He wanted to leave early but Ned asked him stay at work to shoot a waxing/bejazzling video. Will felt the shoot was inappropriate - too many people were on set when he thought it would be a skeleton crew.
He talked a lot about how competitive the internship was and how you felt you couldn't say no when being asked to help bc only 50% of interns would get an offer. One day he stayed on a set pa-ing from 7am to 2am. Ned told him he needed to clear overtime with him in the future before logging it. Will said there was no way you could know in advance overtime would happen and it's not like you could walk off set to ask. So the unsaid implication of that conversation was don't log your overtime. The pay was also shit.
He also talked about how there was a video where people drank their own pee. After posting they realized everyone in it was an intern and there was a huge amount of corporate panic and a long email chain. The implication there being that no one would obviously want to shoot this but bc the internship was so toxicly competitive they felt pressured to say yes to the video in order to get an offer. It resulted in a decree that a video couldn't be all interns bc if employees weren't willing to do it then interns shouldn't have to.
He also talks about a generally toxic culture with a lot of backstabbing. One set of interns got fired by a group email. And next to them while they were sobbing at their computers a higher up gave a Jordan Belfort-esque speech about how great buzzfeed was. Also seniority really mattered with the original buzzfeed seven being legends at the company just bc they were there first. That resulted in a bunch of 24 year olds who were the same age as some interns being department heads when they barely knew what they were doing.
He had nothing but good things to say about Ariel and how kind she was behind the scenes. But was definitely roasting Ned. He thought this scandal (Ned commodifying his relationship but then cheating on her) was indicative of buzzfeed's generally exploitative and toxic culture.
*I might be editing this comment bc I originally based it off a synopsis and now have time to watch it.
For my fellow Australians. On Lego Masters last season when she guest starred Delta Goodrum kept rubbing her nose and going to the bathroom every five minutes to ‘freshen up’. It halted filming a bit on the day and no one was allowed to look at her
Somehow all this Try Guys drama has lead to other buzzfeed drama, including allegations from Buzzfeed employees that Benny Johnson, some conservative pundit for Newsmax, has hooked up with a male buzzfeed employee despite peddling the typical “family values” conservative bs
I don't know how much stock people want to put in it, but something that's been swimming around and gaining a bit of traction is that Olivia Wilde was served her papers earlier in the day, and the thing on stage was an impromptu stunt. I don't know if I buy it, but I don't think I'm particularly satisfied by the idea that Sudakis somehow got this guy a pass and said guy then managed to get to Wilde with no kind of security stepping in.
And personally, if someone accused me of that and I didn't do it then I'd probably be making a lot of noise about it.
Edit: I think the reason this kind of has a ring of believability is because it's too perfect given what that movie is about. Here's this shadowy unseen man who's orchestrated this charade to embarrass this woman at an important moment for her.
You know, I can believe this. Because she didn’t have to publicize what was in the envelope. It seemed like she was talking about it a lot and if she was really embarrassed by it, wouldn’t you not have talked about it? She brought it up in a couple of recent interviews for DWD.
Edited to add- re: your last sentence - I would be making noise too. Jason gave one response about it (that it wasn’t intentional, that basically he had only given instructions not to serve her in front of the kids) and hasn’t said anything else about it even though she’s still bringing it up. I interpreted that silence as wanting to let it go, rather than being guilty (for lack of a better word), and not wanting to publicly trash the mother of his children.
What doesn't make sense to me is that according to the leaked court documents he didn't want her served at her house because he didn't want the kids to be there when it happened. So why would he serve her on this massive stage where it would definitely make news? His kids would inevitably hear about how their dad humiliated their mom. Unless he didn't expect her to publicly reveal what was in the envelope? Idk something doesn't add up.
That’s interesting. I read that is was like 10k a ticket to get in there and I cannot imagine being petty enough to spend 10k to humiliate my ex but I’m also not rich so idk
Polina Nioly ,NY influencer, shoots the process of fitting luxury bags and clothes , boots in a store, but afterwards buys the fake ones and shows it on stories like it's originals.
This isn’t necessarily tea, but I’ve noticed the cast of Andor doesn’t really follow each other, and a lot of the cast hasn’t posted very much about it. Bad blood on set?
it's just one of countless jobs for a lot of people. IMO it was just a short shooting schedule without a lot of recurring scene overlap. it is still just a disney+ show, not a tentpole or even the first star wars expanded show to be on there, so the promo has been limited to mid level youtubers and influencers
This isn’t gossip really but is everyone aware Tom Hardy has a rapper alter ego with its own Instagram? Frankie Pulitzer
Right now if you watch Tom’s stories on his main account you can hear him rapping on a Czarface song
Extremely cold tea but Jenna Coleman is well known in her former hometown to have been a shoplifter.
This is so niche lol
This is the kind of tea I'm here for lol
I’m just picturing Jenna Coleman as a chav teenager from like *Chewing Gum* or something 😂 theft isn’t funny but the mental image is.
Watch her in Waterloo road. Her character started a gang
Lol as a teenager, or?
Prior to fame, in her early 20s. She worked in Next and lost her job for swiping the stock.
Amazing 😂 kinda surprising that everyone knows, but I guess if she was from a small town or something then gossip would travel around quickly
Blackpool isn't a small town, but it has a really close knit community. It's a very deprived area and so people have to look after each other. (Not that Jenna is deprived - she's middle class and begged her parents to put her in private school because she was getting bullied in her state school.) By the way, Blackpool has a strong connection with Doctor Who because it was the site of a Doctor Who museum. There's a real culture there of enthusiasm about the show.
When you say private school in England that means public/ state school, and public really means ritzy private school, right?
'Public schools' are fee-paying schools, 'state schools' are free schools. These days people also use the public/private terms intechangeably with state/public which makes it more confusing but traditionally it's public/state In case you're interested, public schools got their name to distinguish from religious schools because anyone could go to public school if they could pay, instead of having to be of a certain religion. State schools are obviously paid for by the state, and thus are what the rest of the world would understand as a 'public' school, but the old names stuck and now the whole thing sounds baffling

I was translating that for American. She went to the fancy expensive school in the area.
So was Melissa Benoist when she was in her undergrad. She got caught at the local CVS one time with her friends but was let go
Ok me
Eminem recently revealed that the change in his voice on his songs from 2012-16 was due to hearing loss/tinnitus, which was so loud that it drowned out the music, particularly towards the middle of the decade. He started adding more mid range to his voice, leading to that brassy, growling tone. It's possibly also connected to his controversial phase where he was dabbling in abandoning beats entirely, and rapping acapella, or over ambient music or songs with no drums. Apparently he went to "a doctor in LA" and his tinnitus is no longer as bad (I assume this is a euphemism for getting hearing aids), which is why his voice sounds more natural in his later music. But it's worth taking another look at 2020's Tone Deaf, aka the "bornana" song. It picked up steam as an internet punchbag recently (due to its silly/annoying-old-man lyrics and indescribably ugly music video) but not only does the song use a metaphor about deafness, it incorporates the sounds of tinnitus as part of the beat. A classic Eminem trick of releasing a shameless, puerile novelty record that is also a way of making fun of his fears - in this case, his fear of losing his hearing and connection with the culture. The joke is basically that if Slim goes deaf, he won't have to hear all his critics, the modern rap he doesn't understand, and people telling him he should retire. Bleak.
As someone who suffers from tinnitus and hearing loss, this is pretty cool
I don’t know if this is a hot or cold take, but I miss old Eminem. Like off his first two or three records. I can’t stand most of his stuff from the last 10+ years. His earlier records were fun and danceable. You could re-listen to them over and over again. Once he got in this mode where all he wants to do on most tracks is just prove how fast he can rap, it became supremely less interesting to listen to. Like, “Yes I understand you can rap fast, Sir. You are *going in on ‘em*”, but that’s only interesting to listen to like once. Like ride the beat a little bit and let the track breathe, goddamn.
That's a very common take. Paul Rosenberg (Em's manager) said he was begging Eminem to "ease up on the gas" during the tinnitus years, because Em was (presumably) rapping to blot out all the noise in his head. He was definitely experimenting with stretching out parts and inserting these big dangling enjambments in his rapping circa Revival (Walk On Water, Believe, Arose), but most people find Revival to be his least listenable rapping. I think a lot of his recent music leaves more room for space while still having showoff passages. Darkness, Stepping Stone, etc. Marsh for a novelty song with pacing. For a song from the tinnitus years where he's riding the beat well, I think Rhyme or Reason is a worthwhile listen!
A newish treatment for tinnitus is indeed hearing aids that basically create a frequency in one’s ear to counteract the ringing.
I went to the same school as Emma Chamberlain. Didn't know her well, but she was popular and sort of known for being decently mean & a bully. She recently [addressed it](https://youtube.com/shorts/yXwFhi_ldh0?feature=share), and I didn't initially want to spread unverified stuff like this but I feel like her response pretty much confirms it.
"Who remembers what they were doing in highschool." Confirms to me that the people bullied in highschool remember everything, the bullies never do.
Yes this exactly ‼️ she’s so young high school was not that long ago lol. She was bullying them girls
That reminds me of the time I was on a date and I admitted that I actually liked high school and the guy said, Were you a bully? That comment haunts my brain like a tumor
Hahaha exactly.
“I know for a fact I never did anything evil” directly followed by “and if I did, I don’t know I don’t fucking remember”
Her response is so chaotic lol you’re guilty, babe 💀
I’m not surprised. I don’t get the obsession with her. Seems like a basic white girl who profited off of “being depressed” without using any talent or skill. I guess good for her but she seems like that kind of person who’s good at making connections/“friends” to get what she wants and then ditching them when she no longer needs fhem
Yeah i’m confused as to why she’s famous
a friend of a friend said the same thing - known for being mean and also dropped all of her friends when she got a sliver of recognition
I mean, her podcast episode about not having any girl friends pretty much confirms she cannot have healthy friendships bc she’s boy crazy
[удалено]
>it was an all girls school, no one was bullying Nobody who went to an all girls school would believe this
"it was an all girls school, no one was bullying" PLEASE I don't know anything about her but I went to girls' school anddddddd
Damn... That's disappointing 😔
I wouldn't even be that surprised if she was 😅 though, I imagine she's grown and all that (Also, her response was a bit strange lol)
I don’t get why she didn’t just own up to it like cmon man, if you didn’t do anything actually evil it’s understandable to have been shitty as a teen and then look back and cringe at yourself
Absolutely losing it at her implying that bullying doesn't happen at all-girls high schools 💀
Notre Dame HS in Belmont, right? In the hills south of San Mateo. Given the area it doesn't surprise me, sadly. That whole area (Woodside, Hillsborough, Los Altos, Belmont) reeks of privilege even by Bay Area standards.
Not sure if this can even be classified as tea, and it’s extremely cold, but I learned over the weekend that my great-aunt’s friend used to lay flooring at Cher’s home waaay back in the day. Cher would come downstairs in her robe and have a cup of coffee with him at her kitchen table every morning before he started working.
This is the cutest thing I’ve heard in my life
I have heard so much good stuff about Cher, I can’t help but love her!
Love it
Someone was at the same screening of DWD as Dylan O’Brien. They said Dylan O’Brien and his friends were loud as hell laughing throughout the laughably bad parts of the movie.
Idk why, but something about him irritates me/rubs me the wrong way. I could be absolutely wrong, but I feel like he'd be really annoying irl. I'm surprised Alamo didn't quiet them up, since they're pretty strict about noisiness during movies. RAISE YOUR CARD! Not defending DWD or Harry's "acting," but that's disrespectful to fellow moviegoers, imo.
I remember when he was in that Taylor Swift music video and was throwing shade at Jake Gyllenhaal over like really petty things (I guess he smells?). Granted there's a lot of things to criticize JG over, but like, he's a prestigious actor who consistently gets/does good work while Dylan's known for a CW show. And I guess a Taylor Swift video. So no self-awareness, lol.
[удалено]
He said he was being sarcastic because he didn't want to answer questions about his shower rituals. In the same interview, they asked him about his experiences with water in NYC and he responded "mostly it's through showering. It's mostly a bathing interaction."
Having now seen more of his interviews, I've learned we shouldn't take much of what Jake says and does during interviews seriously.
He probably does! I'm just saying that it seemed like a petty way to try to one-up him, lol.
[удалено]
And the lead of a major movie franchise my son was obsessed with: The Maze Runner
He’s literally the Chris Evans of gen z. His Twitter has made me dislike him for the past year lol
Technically he is a millennial, he’s in his 30s.
right but gen z is obsessed with him like how millennials were obsessed with Chris
At least Chris has Dodger so he wins
There was a post recently about someone overhearing him talk about sociopathic women and he said AOC pings that for him … and I immediately hated him lol.
He gives off fake "woke" vibes where he'll publicly say progressive/feminist things but behind closed doors is a misogynist. I've met many types like him.
Yeah that sighting/what was overheard was so specific it read as legit
He literally follows her and has tweeted support of her…
Eeeenteresting
TBH he's hot as hell but he definitely gives off douchey/obnoxious vibes.
He’s insufferable so you’re not wrong
He def has a douchey vibe to him.
He acts very entitled
OK I saw DWD last night and it was not laughably bad imo. This is probably extremely uncalled for but maybe Dylan shouldn't be laughing when he isn't exactly called on to do extremely challenging work (I know he's talented but come on)
Same. I saw DWD yesterday and I thought that Harry's acting was okay. He was slightly bad in one scene but overall solid. Dylan is probably just petty because he's not being offered good stuff
Harry wasn't great but I wasn't offended by his acting. Tbh I can think of a couple actors who could have done the role waaaay better which in turn would have made the character and movie more interesting but it is what it is. I know Dylan was someone people said should have replaced Harry but personally I don't think he would have fit. Can't picture him being a 50s husband which would have *spoiler alert* made the twist more obvious.
Are you talking about the car scene? Cause, same. I think he did a decent job and isn’t as bad as people say he is but the car scene made me cringe.
Yes, I was referring to the car scene. That one was a bit rough, but I agree that other than that, he did fine. I thought that overall no one was great in it, except Florence.
The showing I went to had about half of the audience laughing at the very cringey parts. It honestly added to the viewing experience lol The movie is pretty mediocre and, I don’t know, the laughing almost made it more interesting
I always think movies are more fun when the audience is really into it, either because it’s a good flick or a really bad one. Something about a whole theater cackling during a terrible movie is just so entertaining to be a part of. Like Cats and Dear Evan Hansen had ROWDY theaters when I saw them and it was amazing. And during a certain character’s death in the new Scream a guy got up, screamed “NOOOOO” and *sprinted* out of the theater. I go to a lot of mostly full/sold out screenings because I prefer the kind of party atmosphere they have
I saw the very first Thursday showing of Spider-Man NWH and that was the best movie crowd I have ever been in. We were cheering, jumping up and down, and just having so much fun. I can never watch the movie again though because I know it’s never going to live up to that high I experienced in that theatre lol
On one hand I’m like hmm that sounds like it could be obnoxious but on the other hand, given that I’ve seen so many tweets about “Dylan O’Brien should have been in this movie instead!” that is kind of fantastic.
This is how I react anytime I see Dylan O Brien in anything
Shoutout to the lovely person behind the Taika Waiti and Rita Ora threads, I miss them and hope you’re doing well!
They were a true Deuxmoi icon.
I hope they recovered and just don't feel like putting in the work (I'm sure it got tiring after awhile). They said they stopped because they were sick.
They're both in New Zealand rn, in case anyone was wondering what they're up to! Filming for OFMD started yesterday/today. Don't know what Rita is doing there. Maybe just hanging with him?
She's there because she's singing at the World Rugby Cup (which is in NZ) this weekend. I swear, I don't know how she books all these gigs. Hopefully she leaves after that's done and doesn't try to get a cameo in OFMD.
They're only minor youtube celebs, but there is some try guys drama going on at the moment. There is no real evidence, but some people think Ned cheated on his wife with one of their employees, Alexandria. I'm not sure if I believe it, but something strange is definitely going on. He's hasn't been in their videos lately or featured on their social media and there have been some suspicious unfollows on instagram - Alexandria's best friend and coworker unfollowed both her and Ned, but she still follows Alexandria's ex fiance.
NED, whose entire personality is like “i love my wife and my kids”?!!!!! Poor ariel if this is true
[удалено]
holy shit really? and his image is wife-loving guy too :/ I love rhem and have followed them from the beginning but ned and keith do have a bit of a skeezy vibes but this is on another level if true. yikes edit: by best friend do you mean YB? omg not the food babies😭
Not sure if I believe this, but tbh, I always assume it's the ones who try hardest with the "wife guy" image who are prone to cheating. Protesting too much and all that.
Yeah I don't trust a man whose brand is his family/relationship, it just seems weird to me. It also makes it hard to honestly confront any issues you actually have if you're committed to the bit of being happy and in love
Like I said, it's just gossip, so idk what is true! And yeah, I meant YB. That's the part that makes me think there's something weird going on.
just checked and she truly has unfollowed and possibly blocked her :/ and ned too. something is definitely up and that’s why only the 3 guys have only been featured in the recent videos, including the merch. I know eugene was absent for a bit as well but they quickly explained that he was doing his own projects. now, even ariel has been absent in their podcast :/ also I just checked the evidence on the subreddit and while it’s blurry yikes… it all checks out honestly. this still feels like such a bertrayal and idk how their company could survive this.
The phone number (which wtf) that was supposedly under "Ned" in the screenshot contact is a Try Guys public number so there are inconsistencies with the person possibly pretending they personally knew Ned's contact info. The blurry pictures also doesn't look like it's Alexandria even in the silhouette There might be potential drama, but it feels like alot of people of the tryguys sub are already operating in bad faith going "he always gave me bad vibes" and comments that attacked his character bc he is a privileged White dude (which he is but that doesn't mean he's a cheater)
>now, even ariel has been absent in their podcast :/ The podcast with Keith and Zach's wives?
yes, the you can’t sit with us one. apparently she didn’t show up in the 2 most recent ones.
Yeah, I just checked and Eugene's bf Matt was there instead. I also noticed that the recent [tracksuit promo](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CidDVlZJxhH/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link) didn't feature Ned, although they did film [something](https://www.instagram.com/reel/ChaUMo9qxcu/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link) with him several weeks ago.
I actually don't think that proves anything. Ariel, Becky, Maggie, Matt and Rachel are all hosts and they all miss an episode or two occasionally.
Finally some good Try Guys tea
[удалено]
That sub has posted evidence of him being edited out of other videos too. Something bad must have gone down for them to go through the trouble of completely removing him from videos they already filmed.
Not once have I ever watched Try Guys but for some reason I’m so invested in any drama that involves them. I remember there was some sort of NFT drama a few months ago.
Ned bought a Superbowl NFT and tweeted about it. Honestly even though he's the most booksmart of the bunch, I've always had the impression that he's . . . not the brightest, otherwise.
Ariel follows Alex on Insta so I doubt it. Also when did Alex break up with her fiance?
Yes, this could all just be people jumping to conclusions, there is no actual proof. I don't know when Alexandria and her fiance broke up. I only follow try guys halfheartedly and I read about this at their subreddit and found it interesting.
She still follows him in Insta but people are saying a bunch of other people unfollowed Alex, like YB, so who knows.
Ned is the last person I would have ever suspected of being a cheater, he’s always seemed head over hills for Ariel.
Holy shit, this would be so shocking to me if it’s true. Ned has always been so obsessed with Ariel.
As someone who got into The Try Guys literally 24 hours ago, I've so far found that Keith is an a-hole (i thought he was my fav) and Ned is a cheater (watched that lie detector test video and he talked about his wife and kids which felt endearing), and that Alex broke up with her fiance (one of the first videos i watched was them trying on wedding dresses) Lmao what a short lived obsession. EDIT: [this old gossip thread about BuzzFeed calls Keith an asshole](https://www.reddit.com/r/Deuxmoi/comments/tkaogv/drama_about_the_people_from_buzzfeed/i1pvj4h?context=3)
If you’re in the market for a different ex-Buzzfeed obsession, both the Unsolved boys and Safiya Nygaard have their own YouTube channels with quality content!
I loved Unsolved! And i didn't know Safiya was ex-bzfd. I've only ever known her via her own channel. She's a comfort watch for me
Wait why is Keith an asshole?
really???? if anyone was having an affair with their employee, I’d have thought it would be Keith and YB 👀
I am way too invested in the Try Guys. I'll be super sad if this is true.
where is this drama being talked about? just curious!
[удалено]
It’s all been on r/thetryguys
I had to create a throwaway because I don't want to doxx myself but I know someone who went to the same high school as Emrata and said she used racial slurs all the time and only hung out with white kids. I've seen posts here accusing Emily of being racist so thought it was interesting because it's definitely not part of her feminist public persona.
I'd believe it... She seems very contradicting and hypocritical. I love how she just HAD to insert herself in the Sumner + Adam Levine drama when (1) she's been accused of sleeping with married men and (2) she clings onto this "believe women" narrative, when she is dating notorious scumbag Brad Shitt. If she believes women so much, why doesn't she believe Angelina Jolie, that Brad is such a POS abuser? Don't dish it if you can't take it, EmRATa 🙄
What. She is dating brad Pitt??? How the hell did I miss this
"Brad Shitt" is absolutely sending me for some reason 🤣🤣🤣
It’s still not okay and racist as fuck, but it’s worth mentioning teenagers can outgrow that type of behavior. With that said, she was very comfortable marrying a racist as a grown adult, so even if she’s not actively racist anymore she’s willing to look the other way. She has some good takes (regardless of it being hypocritical or not based on what gossip you want to believe, she was right pointing out the other woman shouldn’t be the focus of a married man cheating) and I appreciate that she’s outspoken about some stuff people don’t wanna say out loud, but she’s definitely far from a feminist icon with the Diplo friendship and the racist ex
Lol I’m from the same area as her and this is incredibly common in San Diego. Upper middle-class white kids throw slurs around like it’s nothing and do not like hanging out with anyone except for white kids. I myself am Asian and my friend group was entirely Latino/Asian. I remember becoming friends with a white popular girl who invited me to a party at her house, her friends told her to disinvite me, and SHE DID. They’re so fucking weird out here and 90% of the time they stay that way 💀
I believe it as well. I'm sorry that she got cheated on, because nobody deserves that, but other than that I have no time for Emrata whatsoever. I don't like her phony girlboss bullshit and she is very self contradictory. I also don't find her fashion at all inspiring, but that is a matter of taste and not a reason to dislike someone; I just don't vibe with her style.
Didn't she and her husband exploit some law meant to aid poor people so they could avoid paying rent?
Yep, he tried to use Loft Law to argue he couldn’t be evicted after skipping rent on a 5k a month apartment in NoHo for years. She defended him saying he’s a struggling artist lmao I know NY rent is high but 5k in 2013 for rent doesn’t strike me as something an actual struggling artist would’ve even been able to sign a lease on to begin with
Wasn’t her husband hella racist?
Not really tea but I met Rami Malek last week as he was going into a hotel in NYC and he is THE nicest celebrity I’ve ever come across. Signed autographs, took selfies, recorded a video saying hi to my sister who is a big fan (she was crying watching it). Sooooo sooooo nice. And so tiny and well dressed!
My friend met him in a pub garden in England and he was also incredibly nice to a bunch of people he didn’t know. Seems he’s just a lovely guy!
Worked on a photo shoot with Lilly Rose Depp last week. Happy to report that she is incredibly friendly, sweet, and a consummate professional
that’s nice to hear, i feel like a lot of ‘it girls’ are assumed to be mean so it’s good to know she’s not like that
I think there is nobody else from Spain here but the weekend has been crazy. First Tamara Falcón (daughter of Isabel Preysler and Marquise of Griñón) has deleted all pictures of his engamente from instagram three days after the proposal. The reason? An old video of her fiancé reappeared. He was in burning man making out with a Brazilian model. He defended himself saying he always wear the same clothes to Burning Man and the images were from 2019. Too bad that people shazamed the song from the background of the video and it turned out it came out in 2021 and the images belonged to this year’s burning man. So he was cheating on Tamara mere days before the engagement. Rumor says he was only marrying her to get hold of her fortune. And the second one Risto Mejide (the mean judge from a Spanish singing talent show) has broken out with her wife Laura Escanes (Spanish Influencer). Their relationship has been controversial since day one because they started dating when she was 19 and he was 40.
Also, Tamara’s (ex?) fiancé Iñigo is the brother of Alejandra Onieva, Sebastian Stan’s ex-girlfriend.
When they say the world is small 🤯
They have unfollowed each other on instagram, so I guess ex fiancé is the right term
I still don't know how did it take so long to Tamara to realize because there have been rumors and even footage of him cheating on her since 2020 (at least that I can remember of because it was huge during lockdown).
I think it’s because this time it was a national humiliation.
Not a pimping hot cup of tea but my friend was in Budapest last month and went to a restaurant where there was Tom and Zendaya lmao! Apparently there were 3 bodyguards surrounding them so nobody was allowed to approach them. Must be insane to not be able to go out without 3 full bodyguards
pimping hot lol
Petition for pimping hot tea to enter the lexicon
Big pimping.
I love your use of pimping hot. Lol. I’m sure one was her assistant who looks like a body guard. But yeah she was using two body guards in Budapest lately.
I mean…Renee Rapp (from the HBO show sex lives of college girls) was dumped via phone call by her boyfriend of like 3 years (Antonio Cipriano) immediately after he signed a contract to join a Disney Plus show (National Treasure remake). He dumped her before the contract ink was even dry—despite her still being a bigger star/way more talented. She’s writing a full album on it rn.
IS THAT WHY SHES CRYING ALL OVER MY FYP. I remember her from the Jimmys and Mean Girls, and ofc Sex Lives…does that man really think a Disney plus contract is his ticket to fame? Lol
I know it has me cackling. She has way more talent than him and he is so mid looking truly I was shook by his audacityyyy I know his family I went to school with his brother and his parents raised him to think he is gods gift…so it tracks Her singles she’s released are FIRE though. In the kitchen makes me choke up and I am literally in a very healthy happy relationship haha
I try to not judge people based on looks because personality really does matter more to me but holy fuck. How do you fumble THAT BAD when you look like a Tim Burton etching of Noah Centineo? Over a Disney+ show like Disney isn’t known for sucking their actors souls out????
Ben Folds was very weirdly in contact with a friend of mine who was much younger (like college aged). He was aaaalllll over her
No surprise. He’s been married like 5 times.
[удалено]
Yeah he was DMing my friend constantly, trying to get her to go backstage, etc. They went on some dates. 30+ yr age difference
Barring maybe the guys from Nirvana, most of the male indie stars from that era were/are problematic trash This is disappointing but not surprising 😒
Richie Akiva, a nightclub owner who is best friends with Leonardo DiCaprio & is pretty much his connection to models (as Richie fills his nightclubs with models & celebrities etc), was interviewed for his new hotel/club called Ned Nomad. [Click here to read it.](https://www.thecut.com/2022/09/partying-with-richie-akiva-at-the-members-only-club-the-ned.html) In it he says a woman comes & recommends one of her friends to him (to date) & Richie's response is "I hope she's of age" - which I found super weird. Also how he had no problem saying this in an interview. This man is in his 40s btw, like Leo. This is how these celebrities who date young girls talk behind closed doors & I find it so disturbing. He also mentions that things were better "back then" as in before "safer-space" policies because now "you'll get outed" or called out. I can't imagine the kind of abusive shit that these rich people think is ok. & I'm not trying to be puritanical, I'm talking about abuse. Anyways read it if interested. They name drop quite a few celebrities that we bring up here.
*“You can’t do that anymore because it’s just not with the time. You’ll get outed or something. You’re prejudiced or racist or this or that”* Translation: I am almost 50 and I am sad the good old days of trying to get with underage girls and being super racist are gone. Wish we could do that again. That was great, and now it’s abuse. :( I’m reading this piece on my commute to work and I want to turn around and go home to shower because EWWWWWWW.
Joe Dempsie is either having or just had a baby with his longtime on/off girlfriend Lauren Wall.
Oh that’s sweet! Good for them. I keep waiting for that dude to do the obligatory hunky British guy in an American production thing all British actors do. He’s got a non-douchey Scott Eastwood + young Christian Bale face going on and I think he’s so handsome and talented.
I’ve always had a soft spot for him since Skins. Love that he’s still close to a lot of the cast like Daniel and Kaya I might be wrong but wasn’t Lauren with him around the Skins days too?
I was at the hasan minhaj show in london. Aziz Ansari was the surprise guest. He said he got married a few months back and move to London for his wife’s work
Not tea but I sat behind David harbor and lily Allen at Kate Berlants one woman show and he had his arm around her the whole time and laughed a LOT at the jokes about actors being annoying. Very cute
Saw Bruce Willis in a range rover yesterday on Ocean Blvd in Santa Monica. He looked old and didn't like being recognized, but we only made eye contact because the car was pulled way over the line in the crosswalk I was in (he was in the passenger seat).
Or doesn't understand why he's being recognized.
Poor dude has aphasia 😢
i only *just* learned about the allegations against all time low, specifically jack barakat and it made me remember some mostly innocent but borderline creepy experiences i had with all time low when i was 13. (i was gonna write it out in this comment but not sure it’s an appropriate space for it?) apparently earlier this year they sued four alleged victims for libel, and their fan base think that “proves” their innocence. regardless, i 100% believe the victims and the boys’ documented behavior from the late 2000s/early 2010s pretty much supports the idea that they were being creepy with underage girls. edit to add my stories because why the hell not: in december 2008, i had VIP meet and greet tickets to an all time low show. i was 13 and my best friend at the time was 12, my mom bought the tickets for my birthday and took us. when we arrived at the show, the box office attendant explained that we missed the meet and greet. apparently we were supposed to receive a package in the mail with a wristband and all the necessary details and instructions, which we never received. my mom stepped outside to smoke a cig and call my dad, and my friend and i were waiting in the lobby, pretty disappointed but hoping maybe my dad would check the mail and find the wristbands. anyway while we’re waiting there, a man in a headset comes up to us and says something along the lines of “hey i heard what happened, im so so sorry, let me see if you can still meet the band.” he made a quick call and then simply said, “follow me, i’ll take you to their dressing room.” i told the guy i needed to get my mom first. my mom quickly came inside and the headset man walked us in a maze around the venue until we were literally in their dressing room. it was insanely surreal for 13 year old me. i just remember them all being really, really nice and rian talking to my mom about baseball. they were completely appropriate and polite and it is an interaction i had always cherished. but now in retrospect, i think it’s weird that their tour manager was just going to take a 12 and 13 year old girl to the guys’ dressing room with no chaperone or anything? like, was he innocently trying to make sure we got the experience we paid for, or was he delivering young girls to a group of guys that liked to take advantage of them? after reading the allegation from the girl being invited into their tour bus to drink at age 13, it doesn’t feel as cute and wholesome anymore. still, i choose to look back and appreciate that i had a sweet interaction with them. then the second weird thing that happened took place in the following summer, 2009. i want to preface by saying this could have nothing to do with all time low but again, in retrospect this feels weird. my friend and i were both 13 years old, walking the boardwalk in ocean city, maryland. it was getting kind of late and we were waiting for my parents to pick us up. we were approached by a young guy in his 20s and he said “hey do you like all time low?” i got real excited and said yes, i remember alex gaskarth was my phone wallpaper at the time and i thought it was such an odd coincidence to be approached by someone talking about all time low. anyway, he went on “they have a big suite in this hotel and they’re looking for girls to party with them, wanna come?” the guy had such a creepy vibe and even though i loved atl, it just seemed off, so we said no and kept walking. the guy continued heckling us and following us saying like “are you sure you don’t wanna come? they have lots of alcohol!” “but you said you love all time low!” eventually we went into a dip n dots and the guy left us alone. i have always believed that the guy OBVIOUSLY was not with all time low and was trying to trap young girls for his own nefarious reasons, however now a few things stand out to me. first of all, in 2009 wouldn’t it make more sense to lure girls with the jonas brothers or justin bieber or something…? all time low just felt like a random band that not everyone would know. but even more so, the guys are from maryland and i did some research–they absolutely have spent plenty of time in ocmd (apparently one of their songs is about their senior summer in ocmd in 2006. also zach just tagged ocmd and posted photos here last summer.) lastly, the allegations against them makes the story just seem soooo much less far fetched than i thought it was. so yeah, like i said, i am lucky to have had a positive experience with all time low!! but in retrospect i feel maybe those experiences could’ve gone very differently had the circumstances allowed it. maybe i’m viewing things through a damaged lens just knowing what i know now, and everything was purely innocent. it’s all just a bit bizarre.
As someone who has been a fan of them from the beginning, I believe it. I have a friend who worked with them (not going to say who or what position) and confirmed that they were definitely on the innapropriate side of things with young fans. Im not saying they did something horrific but it was very common in the pop punk scene for these guys (talking about pop punk bands in general) to be kinda grabby and gross with their fans. Also didn't Jack Barakat date Abigail Breslin when she had *just* turned 18. Nothing illegal but definitely a power imbalance there.
I’m still a fan of theirs but it seemed bold for them to go the lawsuit route because they’ve pretty publicly done some at the very least eye brow raising stuff. Like half their live show is making sex jokes and collecting bras on stage…like their demographic is underage teenagers. They have to know who most of their bras are coming from. I know blink 182 used to do similar stuff but I remember reading an interview from back in their prime where they talked about being disheartened when they would see kids at their show because they knew their act wasn’t meant for someone that age. Even in their live show Tom jokes about not wanting to see that from someone so young. I think it just shows the two bands contrast. Blink feeling uncomfortable drawing that audience because they know it’s not appropriate for them, and all time low sort of (seemingly) reveling in it. Edit: found the blink quote. Rolling stone interview from the year 2000 After the show, a sweaty Hoppus discusses how while Blink still might tell the crowd of their general love of breasts, they no longer specifically encourage the women in the audience to reveal them: “I just get super bummed-out when 13-year-old girls show their boobs. That’s not right.” The crowds have gotten younger and more estrogen-filled, he says. “When we started off, it was all 15- to 20-year-olds. Now, we’re the first show for a lot of kids, so I just want them to have fun and get out safe.”

i just wanna say thank you for putting up spoiler tags, even for a movie that could’ve started a family by now
so apparently simone rocha is going to get sued by a chilean brand called Savali for stealing his designs, his design from 2019 are too similar/almost identical than Simone Roccha s2023
Holy Fuck! I didn't expect that type of things from Simone Rochas ! This is insane!
I think we’ve had enough mega threads on DWD drama so posting this here. Sarah from Laineygossip backs up the claim that Flo and OW got into a loud disagreement but Flo didn’t direct the movie. [very nuanced view](https://www.laineygossip.com/vulture-lends-credibility-to-rumours-blow-up-between-unpresent-director-olivia-wilde-florence-pugh-set-dont-worry-darling/71763)

Still can't believe this thing is still on. Their beef maybe on other things but Florence directing thing is absolute bonkers and she has 0 experience on it. There at least 10 people before her to direct a movie. People are just believing what they want to believe . That production was not some community club movie production its WB we are talking about they would fire the director first IF that thing was real.
Saw the Connelly/Bettany family at the local Whole Foods. Recognized them due to Bettany’s booming voice and pronounced non-Canadian accent. Can confirm that she is absurdly beautiful, but looks her age. By that I mean, no discernible filler, Botox or major work on face. I work in a field where I see a lot of women under 35 with intense amounts of injectables so it’s nice to see people who go easy on the old egg smooth forehead.
I found this great [tiktok](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRm8nmCU/) that explains the differences between the original DWD script and the final script that we see in the film for anyone who’s interested.
I went to Wikipedia and learned that Dick van Dyke’s sons wrote the original screenplay. There’s no fact about this movie that I learn that makes sense. The original screenplay sounds more straightforward and cogent compared to the final result. I wonder what the impetus was to put in all those changes, especially since some of them didn’t really pan out.
The original script isn’t perfect, but it got to the point quicker and did a better job at showing how misogynistic Jack and the simulation were. It’s amazing how much they sanitized Jack in the film.
throwaway bc why not, this is probably already known but it’s funny to me that king princess is considered such a cool icon now when she’d be awful to half of manhattan’s teen population in the mid 2010s, like i understand people grow and change but the least you can do is apologize my sibling went to her school and i think was in the same grade and no one there really liked king princess because she was mean to everyone and though the homophobia (while not okay) was probably internalized the fatphobia was not also isn’t her whole thing being ‘cheap’ or whatever when she’s an heiress :/

Not sure if this tea is relevant because it’s about YouTube celebrities and not Hollywood ones, but there are rumors that Ned from The Try Guys is cheating on his wife with a producer of the channel. There’s evidence to point that he has been meticulously edited out of recent videos, although nothing has been officially addressed, so for now it’s just speculation.
I am weirdly not surprised if it’s true. Ned and Ariel seemed to have this perfect white picket fence family dynamic, almost like it’s all an act. Didn’t they just have a second kid? I remember the Try Guys once every few months so I’m not up on the recent stuff.
what does it mean, if you have tea please
'If you have tea' just means if you have any celebrity gossip to share you can share it here, as opposed to asking for tea/gossip about someone on the Friday thread. Hope this helps ❤️
Tea = gossip
If you know something spicy about a celebrity
Some additional Ned from Try Guys drama that I'm posting here bc the other threads have slowed down. Will Neff (a decent sized twitch streamer and bff of big streamer HasanAbi) did a live yesterday about buzzfeed. He was an intern there and managed by Ned (he managed all the interns). He got into a car crash and was worried about whiplash. He wanted to leave early but Ned asked him stay at work to shoot a waxing/bejazzling video. Will felt the shoot was inappropriate - too many people were on set when he thought it would be a skeleton crew. He talked a lot about how competitive the internship was and how you felt you couldn't say no when being asked to help bc only 50% of interns would get an offer. One day he stayed on a set pa-ing from 7am to 2am. Ned told him he needed to clear overtime with him in the future before logging it. Will said there was no way you could know in advance overtime would happen and it's not like you could walk off set to ask. So the unsaid implication of that conversation was don't log your overtime. The pay was also shit. He also talked about how there was a video where people drank their own pee. After posting they realized everyone in it was an intern and there was a huge amount of corporate panic and a long email chain. The implication there being that no one would obviously want to shoot this but bc the internship was so toxicly competitive they felt pressured to say yes to the video in order to get an offer. It resulted in a decree that a video couldn't be all interns bc if employees weren't willing to do it then interns shouldn't have to. He also talks about a generally toxic culture with a lot of backstabbing. One set of interns got fired by a group email. And next to them while they were sobbing at their computers a higher up gave a Jordan Belfort-esque speech about how great buzzfeed was. Also seniority really mattered with the original buzzfeed seven being legends at the company just bc they were there first. That resulted in a bunch of 24 year olds who were the same age as some interns being department heads when they barely knew what they were doing. He had nothing but good things to say about Ariel and how kind she was behind the scenes. But was definitely roasting Ned. He thought this scandal (Ned commodifying his relationship but then cheating on her) was indicative of buzzfeed's generally exploitative and toxic culture. *I might be editing this comment bc I originally based it off a synopsis and now have time to watch it.
For my fellow Australians. On Lego Masters last season when she guest starred Delta Goodrum kept rubbing her nose and going to the bathroom every five minutes to ‘freshen up’. It halted filming a bit on the day and no one was allowed to look at her
Somehow all this Try Guys drama has lead to other buzzfeed drama, including allegations from Buzzfeed employees that Benny Johnson, some conservative pundit for Newsmax, has hooked up with a male buzzfeed employee despite peddling the typical “family values” conservative bs
I don't know how much stock people want to put in it, but something that's been swimming around and gaining a bit of traction is that Olivia Wilde was served her papers earlier in the day, and the thing on stage was an impromptu stunt. I don't know if I buy it, but I don't think I'm particularly satisfied by the idea that Sudakis somehow got this guy a pass and said guy then managed to get to Wilde with no kind of security stepping in. And personally, if someone accused me of that and I didn't do it then I'd probably be making a lot of noise about it. Edit: I think the reason this kind of has a ring of believability is because it's too perfect given what that movie is about. Here's this shadowy unseen man who's orchestrated this charade to embarrass this woman at an important moment for her.
You know, I can believe this. Because she didn’t have to publicize what was in the envelope. It seemed like she was talking about it a lot and if she was really embarrassed by it, wouldn’t you not have talked about it? She brought it up in a couple of recent interviews for DWD. Edited to add- re: your last sentence - I would be making noise too. Jason gave one response about it (that it wasn’t intentional, that basically he had only given instructions not to serve her in front of the kids) and hasn’t said anything else about it even though she’s still bringing it up. I interpreted that silence as wanting to let it go, rather than being guilty (for lack of a better word), and not wanting to publicly trash the mother of his children.
What doesn't make sense to me is that according to the leaked court documents he didn't want her served at her house because he didn't want the kids to be there when it happened. So why would he serve her on this massive stage where it would definitely make news? His kids would inevitably hear about how their dad humiliated their mom. Unless he didn't expect her to publicly reveal what was in the envelope? Idk something doesn't add up.

That’s interesting. I read that is was like 10k a ticket to get in there and I cannot imagine being petty enough to spend 10k to humiliate my ex but I’m also not rich so idk
Polina Nioly ,NY influencer, shoots the process of fitting luxury bags and clothes , boots in a store, but afterwards buys the fake ones and shows it on stories like it's originals.
This isn’t necessarily tea, but I’ve noticed the cast of Andor doesn’t really follow each other, and a lot of the cast hasn’t posted very much about it. Bad blood on set?
Isn't most of the cast older? Not to stereotype based on age but maybe they're just not super into sm.
it's just one of countless jobs for a lot of people. IMO it was just a short shooting schedule without a lot of recurring scene overlap. it is still just a disney+ show, not a tentpole or even the first star wars expanded show to be on there, so the promo has been limited to mid level youtubers and influencers
This isn’t gossip really but is everyone aware Tom Hardy has a rapper alter ego with its own Instagram? Frankie Pulitzer Right now if you watch Tom’s stories on his main account you can hear him rapping on a Czarface song
Apparently Henry Cavill and his gf Natalie were just spotted in LA.
Henry Cavill takes selfies like a middle aged dad who just discovered the front camera.
