[LaineyGossip.com - Calling all smuthounds!] Friday, April 27, 2018 [Intro for April 27, 2018]( [Danai Gurira, Chadwick Boseman, and Mark Ruffalo ](Dear Gossips, Here’s a question I’ve been saving up to ask you all week. It’s Friday content. And especially THIS Friday. Do you wash your meat? This is not a euphemism for anything but I get why you would think that. I’m asking the question because it’s become a meme and the meme has gone to places that are super unexpected…and super in other ways. Let me explain. Last Tuesday on The Social, we were supposed to be talking about touch-free meat bags at the supermarket “[for millennials scared of raw meat](”. Supposed to be. The conversation, however, took a turn. Here’s how it went down, originally. As you can see, I have the maturity of a 10-year-old and kept laughing because “washing meat” to me was all about dicks. [A post shared by The Social (@thesocialctv)]( on Apr 17, 2018 at 3:06pm PDT That became the most viral moment in the history of our show, currently in its 5th season. We never thought, however, that it would meme. And that the meme would travel.

T’Challa, Okoye, and the Hulk were asked about washing their meat! Anyway, it’s been almost 24 hours and I’ve been able to avoid all Avengers spoilers. Sarah told me to mute all kinds of hashtags on social media but I’m not sure I can make it to Sunday which is when I’m seeing it. Not like they need my money though. They’re projecting anywhere between $225 - $250 million for the opening box office. Sarah’s review will be posted this morning. Have a great weekend! Yours in gossip, Lainey [Click here for the rest of the photos.]( Posted at 1:02 PM [What Else?]( [David Blaine](I am Priyanka Chopra here. Aren’t we all Priyanka here? [She’s reacting to David Blaine sewing his mouth shut](. Which is f-cked up. And I have no time for it. Is it the same as watching pimple popping? F-ck no. Pimple popping, while gross, is natural. Like it’s a grown thing naturally growing on your body. Your body makes the pus. Your body is pus producer. Your body is not making you stick a needle and thread through your f-cking lips, MY GOD. (Dlisted) Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds are hanging out in hotel rooms together. [Hugh’s wearing a bathrobe and Ryan’s in his Deadpool costume](. And now people think Wolverine will be in Deadpool 2. I’m more interested in this friendship. As I wrote long ago, Hugh Jackman has been a positive influence on Ryan Reynolds’s career attitude. You cannot work with someone like Hugh, who is the best and the most accommodating and the most kind, and be a dick. Hugh’s niceness is contagious. (Pajiba) It hasn’t been six months but there have been rumours that Matt Lauer is working on his comeback. And his comeback attitude is evidently just as aggressive as it was before. Did we ever see a “contrite” Matt Lauer? [Matt is defending himself against accusations made by Ann Curry](. Why would she lie? Why? Oh, wait. Are we going to be asked to believe that she’s a bitter bitch about getting let go from NBC and that’s why she’s making sh-t up? Here’s a man who chronically abused his power and a woman who was straight up wronged by the broadcaster and the bro they upheld for so many years. And still they will try to attack her credibility. (TMZ) Love the FUG Girls. [Don’t agree with them about this outfit on Allison Williams](. But that’s probably because I don’t like sheer and I don’t like taffeta. It bothers me that you can see the seams around the shoulders because of the sheer material. I don’t like how the sheer wrinkles around the elbows. And because sheer has no strength to it, it can’t hold up the rest of the dress. You see how the dress is fitting around her chest? It’s not a good fit in that area. (Go Fug Yourself) In the Avengers previews, they’ve shown us that Tony Stark and Dr Strange – I can’t remember his real name, is it Steve? there are a lot of Steves – are not BFFs. So I suppose it’s fitting that it’s [Iron Man that Ellen DeGeneres uses to scare the sh-t out of Benedict Cumberbatch](. Ellen has a thing for scaring people by having people pop out in your face. I’ve already talked about how this would not be a good idea for some, like me. I become violent when I’m scared. My instinct is to fight when I’m scared. And I know I’m not alone. What happens if she does this to someone who reacts the way I would? There would be an injury. (Cele|bitchy) Evan Rachel Wood has been famous for a long, long time. It’s sometimes easy to forget. I think she too is a good candidate for Show Your Work. [Interesting choice of word they’ve used here in the title](. I know it’s pegged to Westworld but does this apply to her career? (Refinery 29) [Click here for the rest of the photos.]( Posted at 7:23 PM [Star Trek to boldly hire a woman]( [SJ Clarkson](Two years ago, just before Star Trek Beyond opened, Paramount announced a [fourth Trek movie](—not to be confused with Trek movie [Quentin Tarantino pitched](—with Chris Hemsworth slated to return as Captain Kirk’s dad (he cameoed in the 2009 movie). At the time, I didn’t really get it. We had just discovered Hemsworth is a comedy grunt, and Pine had not yet emerged as the #1 Chris. But now we know Pine, the most versatile and straight-up talented Chris, is Top Chris, and Hemsworth is at his best when he’s funny. And now I’m kind of into this fourth Star Trek movie, because it unites the Top Chrises, and thing we now know we need. Another reason to get into it? Paramount is in talks with SJ Clarkson, who would be the first woman to direct a Star Trek movie. They’re boldly going where they’ve never gone before! Clarkson has worked extensively on television, directing shows notable for their action. Most recently she directed Collateral, the Carey Mulligan procedural, but she’s also directed episodes of Jessica Jones, The Defenders, Heroes, Banshee, and Dexter among many others. She’s got a knack for action and Collateral, which she directed entirely, shows off a distinctive atmospheric style. Given how funny Pine and Hemsworth are, it would kind of be a bummer if their Trek movie doesn’t have a sense of humor, but I can see a kind of Edgar Wright thing happening, where Clarkson can bring considerable visual command to a movie with situational humor. We really don’t know what this movie will be, and we won’t for a while, but we now we know how funny Pine and Hemsworth are, and Hemsworth, especially, is so much better in comedy mode I don’t know why you’d bother with anything else. So I’m still hoping for a father-son space-road-trip action-comedy, but one with SJ Clarkson’s signature atmospheric style.

I don’t really get this – the skirt over the pants, the feathers, the ballerina-style bodysuits, the spaghetti straps, the sparkly shoes. It’s not offensive, it’s just super feminine to the point of treacliness. And it’s a bit of a missed opportunity because I think a dress line from SJP would be interesting – not necessarily “bridal,” but dresses that could be worn to a wedding or event. Keep the most “bride” ones in white and make the line a little more versatile.

They [announced it last year]( when Paul Feig was confirmed to direct. It’s about two friends, Emily and Stephanie; Stephanie (Anna) is a mommy blogger and Emily goes missing and it sounds like, while trying to find her, Stephanie gets dark and twisty. Both Anna and Blake were in Vegas at CinemaCon yesterday as part of the Lionsgate presentation. I’m curious about this onscreen chemistry. I’m curious about this off-screen chemistry too. [Anna Kendrick]( is sharp. She’s goofy too…but her goofiness has an edge, while [Blake](’s goofiness is pretty earnest. When they were onstage at CinemaCon, they did this bit that had them mixing a martini for Paul that ended up “poisoning” him. My Photo Assumption (our favourite game of unreliable baseless conclusions) on these shots is that Anna is the James Franco in this situation with Blake playing the part of Anne Hathaway. Let’s talk about these outfits. I quite like what Blake’s doing here with the blazer dress and the bow tie but I would have made a different decision with the hair. The texture is off. The pump game on both of them is strong though. These are two pairs of good pumps. You know who doesn’t do a good pump? [Sarah Jessica Parker](, her shoe line. I don’t like the shape of the toe. Amazing the difference a tiny detail can make. SJP’s pumps open up around the sides of the foot but not enough. If you want to open up, go across wide, to create an actual angle. Alice + Olivia’s Dina heel [does this well](. See how much better that is than SJP’s? And Alice + Olivia is a similar price point to SJP’s too. Not exactly cheap but more affordable than the Louboutins that Blake Lively is wearing. That said, if you’re looking for a pump recommendation, I have a really, really great one. And the price point is great. Full disclosure – this is my friend Marci Ien’s shoe line. But as you’ll see from the pumps, that doesn’t make it any less of a perfect patent pump in three colours – red, black, and pale pink. Look at this sole. It’s South African leopard print. [A post shared by IENLEE (@ienleeinc)]( on Feb 5, 2018 at 11:54am PST [A post shared by IENLEE (@ienleeinc)]( on Feb 23, 2018 at 8:07pm PST Good right? Now the toe on the [Ien Lee line]( opens up slightly as well towards the sides like SJP but the difference here is that it’s balanced by a bit of a curve underneath and it’s a higher heel so you get a longer drawn-out line up the foot. Also they’re vegan leather if you’re into that. And at $150, they’re half the price of SJP and Alice + Olivia so practically free compared to Louboutins. [Click here for the rest of the photos.]( Posted at 4:10 PM [And I saw him first]( [Oscar Isaac and Charlie Hunnam on the set of Triple Frontier with Garrett Hedlund in Hawaii, April 26, 2018](Sarah [just posted]( about Sebastian Stan and how she was all about him before anyone else was – and by anyone else she means Kathleen and me. OK but… I don’t think I’m all about Sebastian Stan? Bucky’s OK now that his hair isn’t a mess but I’m not into my feelings over him [the way I am with Oscar Isaac](. Oscar is in Hawaii shooting Triple Frontier with Charlie Hunnam. Please. Prepare yourselves before you open up these photos. Look at these two. In their henleys and their khakis and their facial hair and those jawlines and the smoldering stares into the distance. Also they both have hot gaits. Gait is so important. Why isn’t gait MORE important? This is why Leonardo DiCaprio has always been a problem for me. He has a sh-tty gait. Don’t you people care about gait?!? [Oscar]( and [Charlie]( have hot gait. So nobody’s thinking about Sebastian Stan anymore, SARAH. OK but seriously. Can the movie just be two hours of this scene? Of Oscar and Charlie striding across a bridge and glaring into the distance? Sure, throw some [Garrett Hedlund]( in there if you want to since he’s in the movie too. I can’t remember if he has hot gait though. [Click here for the rest of the photos.]( Posted at 3:35 PM [Okay but I DID see him first]( [Sebastian Stan arrives for an appearance on Kimmel, April 25, 2018](The LaineyGossip offices have descended into chaos recently, as [Lainey]( and [Kathleen]( have been hitching onto my Sebastian Stan train like a couple of old timey hobos, and it’s not that I mind them finally catching on, it’s just that I want all the credit for spotting him first and talking him up years ago. Kathleen is guilty of the most FLAGRANT INFRACTIONS, but she is now appropriately terrified because her response when Sebastian Stan’s GQ interview was offered for coverage was: “I am bowing out because I cherish my friendship with Sarah and my life.” Kathleen gets it. On a daily basis, Lainey can probably out-petty me, but no one goes for long-form revenge like I do. I put Nair in my summer camp arch-nemesis’ sunscreen so she got an incrementally worse rash every day for a month. A buddy pranked me and in retaliation I convinced him his twin brother was dead and he had to come to San Diego to identify the body. What I’m saying is… Kathleen’s self-preservation kicked in just in time. [Sebastian Stan]( appears in GQ talking up Avengers: Infinity War, of course, but they also get into his career choices, particularly how he balances his Marvel appearances with supporting roles in more dramatic fare. Stan has been strategic about his Marvel downtime, taking supporting roles in movies from the likes of Ridley Scott, Steven Soderbergh, and Jonathan Demme, lately starring as Jeff Gillooly in I, Tonya, and his upcoming projects include Karyn Kusama’s new movie. Stan has been smart with his choices and is treating his franchise gig the way it should be treated—as a platform to build longevity. He’s building a career and doesn’t cover his ambition or shy away from talking about things he’s missed (Star Trek and John Carter), or how the thing he got, Marvel, boosts his visibility with directors. I appreciate that he isn’t precious about what Marvel does for his career. Of course, I also appreciate his hotness. Sebastian Stan is a Very Handsome Man, and the interview is accompanied by a photoshoot of Stan sporting a series of sharp suits. He’s one of the more fashion-forward Marvel dudes, so a fashion spread makes sense. He’s so handsome and increasingly well dressed, I can tell I’m going to have to remind everyone that I saw him first and this is my train, and you are all guests on it. Or else I’m going to need a lot of Nair, and/or to learn who has a twin. [Source]( [Click here for the rest of the photos.]( Posted at 3:12 PM [Avengers: Infinity War is Marvel at its best and worst]( [Elizabeth Olsen arrives for an appearance on Kimmel, April 26, 2018](Avengers: Infinity War is the beginning of the end of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we’ve known it for a decade. It’s the culmination of ten years of storytelling, bringing together heroes from across the universe, uniting Avengers and Guardians and everyone in between. Pound for pound, for sheer spectacle, you’re hard-pressed to find a blockbuster this purely entertaining and packed to the gills with jaw-dropping “that just happened!” moments. Infinity War is calculated for the audience experience, designed to provoke laughs, gasps, and tears, and it succeeds at enthralling you for almost the entire two and a half hour runtime. Marvel has billed this as the “most ambitious crossover event in history”, and it actually FEELS like it. It feels like you are watching something monumental happen on screen. But it also feels like you’re watching the same problems Marvel has always had play out, just on a much grander scale. Before Black Panther, Duana watched Captain America: Civil War and was annoyed because (she says) it’s all B plots and no character development. Well, if that’s a problem for you in previous Marvel movies, it’s not going to get better in Infinity War, which is REALLY no character development and all B plots. In the moment it doesn’t really matter because the spectacle is so great it’s easy to just go with the flow and enjoy each moment as they come. But for a movie ostensibly about the end of the world, Infinity War is curiously lightweight. It pays lip service to themes that have been better explored in other movies—causality, service vs. self-interest—and there is a feather-light through-line about sacrifice that gives Infinity War some narrative cartilage to support it, but no real muscle (the script is from Captain America scribes Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely). The thing about building a movie to work in the moment means it might not work in the long run. For being Marvel’s biggest, most ambitious movie, it probably won’t hold up. But it’s so fun! It really, really is! Seeing all the heroes meet and deal with each other is GREAT. The Guardians of the Galaxy can’t cope with Thor’s masculine beauty, which is a fantastic bit. Tony Stark and Doctor Strange strongly dislike each other on sight, which is true to their spiky relationship in the comics. (Strange this time out is his truest self—he ISN’T an Avenger and it pays to remember he sees a much bigger picture than anyone else.) There is something for everyone, something guaranteed to make you laugh, and gasp, and the characters, even if only given a few minutes of screen time, shine brightest, especially as the action is a mixed bag at best. Directors Joe and Anthony Russo have done better in the past with capturing the brutality of superhumans fighting (Captain America: The Winter Soldier), and the awesome spectacle of a super-powered melee (Captain America: Civil War). They have some fun with Thor and Doctor Strange, but much of the action is unmemorable—even ugly—going back to the shaky-cam style that dominated earlier superhero movies. And if you’ve been waiting for meaningful pay-off to long-gestating plot points, particularly stuff left over from Civil War—keep waiting. The most that happens to address emotional through-lines in Infinity War is a series of loaded stares. That contributes to the lightweight feel of the story, since places where characters could engage in relevant emotional labor are instead filled with exposition as we blaze toward the next plot point or action sequence. There simply isn’t time to deal with anything—how could there be, in a movie with actual dozens of characters to service. But even though there isn’t enough time to really dig into anything, the characters are the heart of Infinity War, and it is genuinely thrilling to watch them come together to face Thanos, who isn’t a sh*tty villain. Josh Brolin doesn’t go for theatrics with Thanos, and instead plays him as a sad, lonely old man whose zealotry drove away his family. His motivation is shaky, but his threat is real. For the first time, it really feels like the Avengers are outmatched, which gives the movie the illusion of stakes. I say “illusion” because, again, Infinity War is only built to work in the moment. Stuff happens and it’s immediately apparent it won’t be permanent, which plays directly into the “low stakes universe” issue that has plagued Marvel almost from the beginning. Infinity War goes for shock over story (just like Game of Thrones at its worst), and while the shocks are certainly shocking, if the intended result is a movie meant to scar a generation the way The Empire Strikes Back did this, at most, will administer a bruise. If the over-crowded, under-served narratives of earlier Marvel movies bothered you, or if the low stakes of previous films irked you, you’re still going to be bothered and irked. Infinity War succeeds in sweeping you into a grand adventure and reminding you why you love these characters, but it doesn’t solve the narrative problems that haunt Marvel. It’s a GREAT time in the theater, but doesn’t resonate beyond that.

Ed has worked with Harry for five years. Last month Prince William’s private secretary, Miguel Head, also stepped down. Last year, Princess Kate’s private secretary left too. And there have also been several staffing changes in Prince Charles’s and the Queen’s households. All of the senior royals then are reshaping their staffing needs as Her Majesty approaches the end of her reign. Samantha Cohen, the Queen’s assistant private secretary, is expected to take over as interim private secretary for [Prince Harry]( when Ed Lane Fox leaves in the summer and as they search for a permanent replacement. I’ve heard that Samantha gets on well with [Meghan]( and, presumably, whoever comes in as the new private secretary will be suited to work not only with Prince Harry – as was the case when ELF was hired – but both Sussexes or Clarences or (my hope, even though no one else thinks this is possible) Windsors, Harry and Meghan. As we’ve seen, Meghan has been a pretty active representative of the family since the engagement was announced, which is already unusual since she and Harry aren’t officially married yet. Clearly they’re building a vision and a strategy around the Harry and Meghan partnership going forward and considering the team they need around them to manage it. Meghan is no longer confirmed for any public duty until the wedding. Her schedule is now clear until May 19th. So she’s going underground for three weeks, building anticipation for the big day. [William]( and Harry, as we saw, stepped out together yesterday in a show of brotherly love after announcing that William will be Harry’s best man. When Will and Kate were married, it was Harry standing up for Will on his side and Pippa standing up for Kate on her side. Several children were involved in the wedding as flower girls and pageboys, but there were no other adult groomsmen or bridesmaids. If it’s one on Harry’s side then, like Will and Kate, it’ll likely be one person for Meghan on her side, right? I wonder what royal people think of gigantic wedding parties. You know, like when there are, like, 6 people each, for a total of 12. Do they consider it excessive?

Or at least, he thought he was having some fun at everyone’s expense. Well, ‘fun’. A few weeks ago, after a match of some kind involving a star athlete named Jack, he mused that Jack was a good name, and then the other day it was the Australian High Commissioner jokingly suggesting Alexander and Will goes, “Funny you should say that…” But the jokes, they were tired. The wait was too long. Long enough for this: No, no wait, one more: DEAD. Look, announcing on a Friday from a Monday birth isn’t thaaat long but we’re more desperate for good-to-neutral news than we’ve ever been, so it was a hell of a wait. And given the seemingly credible rumors that it was Albert and the thin stories about how they wanted the Queen and/or Charles to meet him first, I’m just gonna come out and say I think they had a marital discussion about this name. One of those things where each person is sure the other will give in soon enough, and it’s two days of “I can’t believe you haven’t given in yet!” “I can’t believe you haven’t! What’s wrong with WILBERFORCE?” Like, I know they had nine months but I also kind of know I’m right, somehow. I could imagine all the names they left on the floor of the battleground… except that’s not the point. Louis Arthur Charles. Was it worth the wait? I’m gonna surprise myself and say yes. Look. George Alexander Louis is pretty great, because you only need one syllable for that full-cheeked determination. Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, who probably won’t have to be monarch, gets away with having the fun, Harry-style life, so she carries allllll the family heritage in her name. Louis Arthur Charles, while still staunchly within the realm of Royal names, gets to surprise us a liiiittle bit. Lainey thought it would be Albert ([with good reason](), I was leaning more toward Arthur, wishing for Frederick, and just hoping we wouldn’t be bored to death by Charles… and we weren’t! I like Louis as a name fundamentally, add to the fact that I am utterly besotted with Sandra Bullock’s son (even though I know that child or his name was not even a glimmer of a factor for the Cambridges), and we get it up to a real affection. In the context of the Royals, who, as everyone points out, only cycle through half a dozen names anyway…it’s practically like calling him River. I’m really into it, and I’m surprising myself. Usually I would be fussed about the fact that Louis has to wear one of his big brother’s middle names, but we have to grade these people on a curve. I’m especially into it because a friend thought Louis was a bit of a ‘naughty’ name, and I am so down for that. I want them to have a houseful of mischief-makers, and though Lainey has highlighted the continued dominion of Big G, I’m happy that Louis, complete with impish smile, is here to give him a run for his money. Again, it was never going to be Furio, or even Francis, but given the pool they have to work with, Louis is pretty great, and not competing with anyone in recent memory. And it’s even a bit unique, in the sense that the relatively-rare-in-2018 Louis has the opportunity to shape our opinion of the name in the way that the popular Charlotte and well-known George really don’t. So there, Big G. Louis has one up on you already. I’m quite into it, actually. Who the hell am I?
