Last time we had a writers strike, Pushing Daises got the axe. While thinking about this, I realized the ACOTAR show might suffer a similar fate.

If I speak.

The CAA party attendance was not for Chris to get some media play, it was for her.

The reason why it's laughable is because it's her chance to do her own meet and greets as she’s trying to make the change over to CAA. It’s bigger, brighter and more lucrative to her than UTA. While he was in attendance, it wasn’t for his benefit to be seen there. He’s been a client of theirs for decades and historically has been seen going to parties for less than twenty minutes and then leaving right after for a more low-key scene.

It's a messy business proposition, especially with a Portuguese unknown actress who has not been making the right impressions on some powerful people. She’s getting face time with the right people but her impressions aren’t lasting.

Being late, unprofessional and refusing to read certain scripts to get her foot in the door don’t play well with those who are in those rooms and who she is are associated with only goes so far when she hasn’t had a curated resume or willingness to take a chance. I won't even touch on the scrubbed media accounts because the internet is forever.

No stylist team worth anything is touching her – some prior year dresses have been sent but a lot of it has been her (mostly him) footing the bill, which is why it looks so lackluster. There’s not a whole team behind her because that also costs money for an upkeep and she’s DEFINITELY NOT Emma Stone or Margot Robbie.

Paying people to make you look good is sound when you have the income rolling in and she doesn’t have it. Retainers only go so far until you’re dropped or placed in random movies to get your name out there until a bigger project takes a chance on a z-lister like her but it’s not looking likely.

I'm still surprised that WME can't still get Meghan invites to prestigious events. Last weekend there were Balenciaga show in LA and the Academy Gala; all sorts of stars were there. The Color Purple (which Oprah produced) had a premiere a couple of weeks ago!! She only went to Variety event, and it was probably because she couldn't attend last year; even there she couldn't pics with the A-Lister (Margot Robie! Greta Gerwig! were there). She also didn't go to any of the fashion week. Why do you think that is? You mentioned that Baby2Baby gala, which apparently people have to pay? They couldn't afford that or wrangle a freebie invite?

When she attended the Variety event it was confirmed that she was not on the official guest list. She attended as her agents +1.

My best guess is that she isn't invited to events because if Hollywood and the society sets know 1 thing about her it's that she isn't discrete.

She can't be trusted in areas where people are extremely protective of their privacy.

I’ll use my parents as a yardstick. They are true boomers and immigrants and out of the six avengers, they only know RDJ by name.

Neither of my parents particularly like RDJ because they basically know him as guy who was in jail once (sorry Robert) and Ironman. But they do know him.

They know Chris E and Scarlett J by face but not so much by name. I think cap and black widow are more familiar to them and they are not American so they remember the character names and not the actor names.

I would say off the top of my head: true a listers are Brad, Leo, Tom, Angelina, Will Smith, Harrison Ford, George Clooney, Tom Hanks, Meryl, Julia.

Because even without their last names being mentioned, I’m sure 98% of you know who I’m referring to. And so will Gen X, Boomers, and maybe even our grandparents generation.

I’m sorry, this will upset many of you, but Margot and Pedro are not true A list either. Despite the big year they have had, and Ryan Gosling, it’s going to be a few more years before I would have that convo. Emma stone too. For the younger generation yes, but I would argue some people know Scarlett and Chris E more than they do Emma stone or Pedro. Winning awards does not make you A list either. You are respected, yes, but how many Emmy and Oscar winners and nominees are actually unknown by many of the GP? It’s a complicated conversation.

I think people have a false perception of who’s hot right now and trending means they’re A list. But a true A lister doesn’t always have to trend and doesn’t even always have to have an actively hot career. They could more or less go into retirement and or just making alcohol (hi George Clooney) but still be on the tips of people’s tongues.

I do think Chris was getting to the point of pretty A list in 2019. That was a huge year for him and I think he defied a lot of expectations and when I realized my parents knew his face and who he was that was a big step. But he’s not a true A list, nope.

BUT it does not mean he is C list.

I have to agree with all that you said. I’m not sure who is the latest crop of A listers. I think Jennifer Lawrence was on her way. But I don’t see any of them having the “power” that the celebrities of the early 2000s had.

In my job I have so many different age groups, and some will know Marvel, but not the actor. Some won’t know either. I think currently our media is oversaturated. We have a younger generation who influencers are their celebrities.

SAG-AFTRA is a union of 160,000 members, so please don’t focus on the ‘A-lister money grabbing’ dialogue that will be spun by the studios. they are joining the WGA union of 11,000 to make sure that all people in the unions receive fair pay. it’s not Scarlett Johansson and Margot Robbie wanting more money, it’s the actor who’s had three lines in this movie and two lines in his previous and no speaking lines in his first two movies. it’s saving background actors from being reconstructed in other films utilising AI (and thus being intellectual property of the studio, not the original actor) to save the cost of extras.

Changes to the Popular Pairing List

Over nearly 9 years of Femslash Revolution, we have watched the popularity of many, many pairings rise and fall again. In order to better reflect this, we have decided to switch how we define our popular pairing list, which determines which pairings are too popular to be posted on Rarepair Thursdays.

Previously, posts were added to the list when they had appeared on the blog over 20 times across its whole duration. Under the new system, we will look at the number of appearances in the 10,000 most recent posts, which reflects approximately the last 18 months of content. Any pairing with more than 10 posts in that time span will be added to the list, while older pairings which no longer receive so many posts will be removed.

'“Barbenheimer” is officially here, and the battle between the bomb and the bombshell is about to ignite the box office.

Greta Gerwig’s cotton candy-colored “Barbie,” starring Margot Robbie as the plastic, fantastic doll, is expected to generate a huge $95 million to $110 million from 4,200 North American theaters over the weekend. Given the omnipresence of “Barbie” (the marketing is practically inescapable, with enough memes and marketing tie-ins to last a lifetime), initial estimates are all over the place. Warner Bros. is projecting a more conservative $75 million to start, while rivals and exhibitors believe the PG-13 movie could make as much as $140 million between Friday and Sunday.

In any case, “Barbie” will claim the top spot over Christopher Nolan’s atomic bomb drama “Oppenheimer,” which is aiming to collect a solid $50 million from 3,600 cinemas through Sunday. Universal is backing the R-rated historical biopic, which cost $100 million.

“Oppenheimer” runs at three hours (“Barbie” clocks in at just under two), which may limit the screenings per day. However, Nolan’s epic will benefit from premium large format screens like Imax, which is dedicating its entire footprint to his film for three weeks.

Together, the seemingly different blockbusters with twin release dates are fueling the phenomenon known as “Barbenheimer.” AMC Theatres, the nation’s biggest cinema chain, reported that 40,000 people have already purchased tickets for double features of “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” on the same day — up 20,000 from last week.

The $145 million-budgeted “Barbie” stars too many A-listers to name, but we’ll give it a shot: Ryan Gosling, Issa Rae, Dua Lipa, Simu Liu, Helen Mirren, John Cena and Will Ferrell round out the cast of the fantasy comedy, which follows Barbie and Ken as they leave the comfort and familiarity of Barbie-Land on a quest for self-discovery in the real world.

“Oppenheimer,” adapted by Nolan from the Pulitzer Prize-winning book “American Prometheus,” is an equally star-studded character study about theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. Cillian Murphy plays the man who led the development of the atomic bomb, alongside an ensemble of Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Florence Pugh and Alden Ehrenreich.

The potent combination of “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer,” as well as last weekend’s champion “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,” is expected to fuel one of the biggest box office weekends in ages. Summer season has otherwise produced a string of underperforming options, like “The Flash,” “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” and “Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken.”

Tom Cruise’s newest “Mission” looks to add $28 million to $30 million in its second weekend of release, a decline of roughly 50% from its debut. The seventh installment in Paramount and Skydance’s globe-trotting action franchise opened to $56 million in North America and $234 million globally. It cost $291 million before marketing, so Ethan Hunt’s latest death-defying adventure needs to remain a draw throughout the summer to justify that price tag.

Elsewhere, the unlikely box office hit “Sound of Freedom” is imminently crossing the $100 million mark, which will put the film among the top 16 highest grossing of the year. The low-budget, faith-based movie about child sex trafficking has generated a remarkable $85.7 million to date. That’s thanks mostly to the religious and conservative media groups that have rallied behind the film.

Paul Dergarabedian, a senior Comscore analyst, calls “Barbenheimer” a “movie marketers dream come true.” He adds that the craze is “creating a rising tide of interest that should also boost the fortunes of ‘MI7’ and ‘Sound of Freedom’ as moviegoers flood the multiplex in search of movies to catch on the big screen.”'

Australian F1 star Daniel Ricciardo gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at preparations for Met Gala

Daniel Ricciardo gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at his preparations for the Met Gala - where he caused a stir when he met Anne Hathaway Ricciardo does behind-the-scenes Met Gala video F1 superstar says he was out of his comfort zone Aussie made sure custom suit had space for hip flask By James Cooney For Daily Mail Australia Published: 06:16 BST, 4 May 2023 | Updated: 06:16 BST, 4 May 2023 Aussie F1 star Daniel Ricciardo made a surprise appearance at the Met Gala red carpet on Tuesday - and now he's giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at his preparations for the iconic event. The 33-year-old reserve driver for Red Bull rubbed shoulders with celebrities on fashion's most famous red carpet, which was celebrating iconic designer Karl Lagerfeld. Ricciardo sent social media wild with his unexpected appearance at the glamourous event, arriving alone in a stylish Thom Browne three-piece tuxedo and flashing his signature grin. Iconic fashion magazine Vogue put together a video of the eight-time race winner suiting up, where he revealed he was surprisingly nervous about attending. 'You know that expression, "It ain't my first rodeo?" Ricciardo asks in the clip. Vogue magazine put together a video of the eight-time race winner getting ready for the iconic event, where he revealed he was surprisingly nervous about attending 'It actually is my first rodeo.' 'It's funny, because I feel I should get more nervous before a race,' he said. '[But] this certainly feels like I'm stepping out of my comfort zone.' Thom Browne’s Jonathon Zadrzynski was on hand to help Ricciardo get dressed, and told the Aussie that Browne himself was looking forward to him stepping out in his look. 'He (Thom Browne) is really excited about the classic but comfortable look you bring to your style,' Zadrzynski told Ricciardo. Ricciardo explains in the clip that it was important for the suit to have a pocket for him to carry a hip flask. 'When we were going through the jacket, I was like "does it have a place for my hip flask?'" he smiled. The Aussie was then off to the event, navigating fans and photographers skillfully. Afterwards while on the red carpet eagle-eyed fans spotted Ricciardo taking a quick glance at Hollywood A-lister Anne Hathaway as he awaited his picture. Ricciardo joked that a requirement of his custom suit was that it had room for his hip flask Ricciardo stepped out in a custom Thom Browne three-piece tuxedo at the Met Gala The F1 star's appearance at Met Gala surprised many because he'd previously said the event was too formal for him Yet Hathaway was also starstruck as the pair shared a brief exchange before parting ways. 'It's nice to meet you,' she said to Ricciardo. 'Wow, I'm a huge F1 fan.' Ricciardo's appearance at Met Gala came as a shock to many after he said the event was too 'formal' for him in a podcast after fellow driver Lewis Hamilton was invited to the exclusive bash in 2021. 'After seeing some of the images, not really. Look, I mean, the way some of the fashion is now, I think you probably could get away with that,' he said. 'Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it would be an experience, but I don't know. It seems a little formal for me.' The Aussie joined fellow Down Under stars Nicole Kidman, Baz Luhrmann, Hugh Jackman and Margot Robbie.

Cinemacon: The Next Generation

I have to say, PR or no PR stunt, I care not:

Glen and Sydney owned Sony Night. They made Margot and Ryan look bland and dare I say a wee bit old for the roles they’re playing, and I literally have not seen anyone talking about JLaw’s movie.

I suspect there are quite a few Hollywood A-Listers truly thinking “Anyone But You” and not with a smile on their faces.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Wonder Woman 3 -- at least in its current form -- is not moving forward since Jenkins' treatment does not match with Safran and Gunn's new overall plans for DC film. Thoughts?

Not just that, they're claiming that Man of Steel 2, Black Adam 2, and basically the whole damn Snyderverse is over.

The first, which builds on the shuttering of Jenkins’ Wonder Woman 3, is the closing curtain of the Snyderverse, and the heroes cast by filmmaker Zack Snyder for his Justice League. This one sees the shutting down of Man of Steel 2, with a returning Henry Cavill, and having no more Aquaman, fronted by Jason Momoa.

After 2023, everyone will be done. All the Snyder casted leads would be finished in their roles, although some may carry over to the new DC shared universe in different identities. Momoa is apparently being eyed to play Lobo, a role he's long expressed excitement for. How do I feel about this? Mixed to say the least. On one hand FUCK YEAH WE'RE FREEEEEEEEEEEE! No more godawful Eisenberg Lex or Leto Joker, no more of Snyder's baggage like his evil Superman bullshit, a fresh slate without Cavill or Coates/Abrams involved is exactly what I hoped for when Zaslav first took over. But... do I trust Gunn to do a better job with the main Leaguers than Snyder or Hamada did? Not really. Nothing he's said has shown me he has any really love or understanding for characters other than Batman and the C-Listers he holds affection for. I'm unsure what this could mean, whether it's going to be a good turn of events for Superman or not.

Hell what does it mean for the DC Films in general? They say Momoa might switch from Aquaman to Lobo, but what about Levi's Shazam? Or Margot's Harley? What about Peacemaker S2 and all of the SS spinoff projects Gunn was working on, how the hell does all of that work if they're going to do a hard reboot? Will Blue Beetle be a one and done or will they say it's part of the new universe? Will The Batman be turned into the first movie in said new universe given it's the only thing that's confirmed to be safe? People are freaking out but if Gunn and Safran are presenting their plan to Zaslav next week, at least we won't have to wait very long.

Feel bad for the WW fans, it's bullshit that Jenkins and Gadot may not get to finish their trilogy. Cavill I'm laughing my ass off about, he got fucked over again! Yes that's shitty but come on, it's funny in how terrible it is for him. Should have done that Shazam cameo Henry, you played yourself out of a job when you didn't. Guess we wait for next week for confirmation, or for Gunn to put out a tweet confirming/denying the report.

Does Olivia’s team pay extra so she’s at the top of all of the IMDB listings for projects she’s in? I just looked up who’s all in Babylon and her name is next to Brad’s when you search it and when you go to the actual page.

Margot is the lead… I think Olivia is in like one second of the trailer. Her character doesn’t even have a name attached to it on IMDb yet. She’s so narcissistic and bizarre. I guess the harry stunt is working for her, I highly doubt she would have been cast in this with all of these A listers if her team couldn’t make it seem like she was also an A lister.

Hi love. I’m not sure how IMDb works, but I think anyone can make an account and add things. I believe it gets reviewed and fixed if things are wrong, but I wouldn’t imagine you can pay for something like what you’re asking about.

It’s very strange that she’s listed so prominently, though.

In more depressing news, Amsterdam, the DOR movie coming out in October, is currently getting really good buzz among a few early screenings that happened last week. And when you google the movie, there is absolutely NOTHING that comes up about DOR’s sexual abuse allegations, it’s completely buried. The difference in how that movie will be treated vs how DWD is currently being treated is going to be so transparent and gross. I can’t wait to see the entire cast of Amsterdam (full of big name A-listers!) supporting and speaking kindly about the abusive male director that they chose to work with 😵‍💫 and I wonder if any news sources will ask DOR about the “tabloid gossip” surrounding him at any press conferences or screenings 🤔

Wait- are you telling me that Variety isn't scrutinizing Christian Bale and Margot Robbie's Instagram likes for proof that there's beef with Russell? No headlines about Anya Taylor-Joy avoiding eye contact?????? No anonymous sources implying Chris Rock actually directed the movie???!
