As soon as Prince Harry and then-Meghan Markle got together, he seemed to make more of an effort, in general. He looked like he lost some weight, and reportedly he started eating healthier. He was a smoker (on and off, I think) and I think he’s pretty much given that up. He seemed to spend more time at the gym too. I truly believed he went on an honest-to-God diet before the wedding too. But now “sources” claim that Meghan has “banned” Harry from enjoying some of his last vices during her pregnancy: no more tea, coffee or alcohol?

Meghan has banned Prince Harry from drinking tea and coffee, a royal insider has claimed. The reformed party animal had already reportedly given up alcohol out of sympathy for pregnant Meghan, but now he’s drinking mineral water instead of caffeine, the Sunday Express reports.

The Duke of Sussex’s new health kick meant he looked fitter and bright-eyed at Sandringham for Christmas – and it hasn’t gone unnoticed by the royal family. A source told the Express: ‘Considering he’s been a pretty brutal drinker since he was a young teenager, it’s quite an achievement.’

The Duchess of Sussex, 37, has also introduced Harry to yoga and has encouraged him to exercise more, showing him an alternative way to live claims the source. The new exercise regime and lack of booze has meant that friends think the 34 year old is ‘more chilled and relaxed’.

A source said: ‘All she did was show him there’s another way to live and he’s become a huge fan. He eats well, doesn’t poison his body, exercises, does a bit of yoga and is a lot happier.’

I know this will shock so many royal sources who claim that Diva Meg orders Poor Harry around constantly and “bans” him from doing everything, but a lot of men willingly give up certain food and drinks during their wives’ pregnancies. I know a lot of men give up alcohol happily in solidarity with their pregnant partners. Coffee is a bit trickier, at least for caffeine addicts, but considering Harry is British, I wonder if he was much of a coffee drinker anyway. As for cutting out tea… that doesn’t even make any sense. But why is it “banning” again? Why can’t a former “wild child/party boy” grow up, mature, and figure out that he feels better when he drinks less and does some yoga?

Black Mirror is an artfully crafted, well written show that usually makes me feel hopeless. The only exception I’ve found (although I have not watched them all) was the Emmy award-winning episode from 2016, San Junipero. I watched the new interactive Black Mirror episode, Bandersnatch, for about 40 minutes. It was just as depressing as Black Mirror typically is, and I wasn’t motivated to find more of the alternate endings. I don’t even know if we reached an ending, although my boyfriend said that we would have to go back and make another choice as the show was a maze with dead ends, like a typical chose your own adventure book. For those of you who are unfamiliar, Bandersnatch is Netflix’s first ever interactive program. It allows you to make choices for a 19 year-old programmer in 1984, Stefan, who is designing a video game based on a choose your own adventure book. The filmmakers spoke to THR and explained their process, which was very meta in that they faced similar setbacks to Stefan. (Of course this contains spoilers, at least the spoiler for the main ending which I did not reach, but it may not be relevant to the story you choose.)

Officially, Netflix says there are five “main” endings. But there is a caveat: There are variants on all of them. Given that there are millions of unique story permutations created by [Black Mirror creator Charlie] Brooker’s game-changing script, not every viewer can unlock all of the endings. Also, the way any one person will arrive at those endings will vary, since the interactive experience evolves as viewers make choices.

There is one ending, however, that Netflix determined would be the most commonly reached: the Pearl Ritman ending. That is why the final scene is intercut with a credits sequence — even though the official end to everyone’s Bandersnatch experience will be signified by rolling closing credits. Pearl, as it turns out, is the daughter of Colin Ritman (played by Will Poulter), the famed game developer who mentors the protagonist, Stefan (Fionn Whitehead), throughout the film. “It’s not the ‘real’ ending,” Carla Engelbrecht, Netflix’s director of product innovation, confirms to THR of the Pearl flash-forward coexisting among the others. Engelbrecht, who led the tech development of Bandersnatch, says the Pearl ending treatment (which also contains Black Mirror Easter eggs for discerning viewers) was a creative choice made by Brooker. “The original version didn’t have that intercutting, and then it emerged as they started getting into the episode and refining it. We really liked the feel of it.”

When Bandersnatch flashes forward to introduce Pearl, the ending that viewers get reflects several of the different story branches they will have already reached, or will reach, when Stefan becomes overwhelmed by the creation of the game. Despite her best intentions, Pearl also begins to lose control when she tries to pick up where her father left off and finish his “Bandersnatch” for Netflix. In real life, “Bandersnatch” is also the name of a highly anticipated 1984 game that never materialized. But for Brooker, the ending is even more personal.

“The Pearl ending is quite meta, where it sort of pulls out to reveal someone who has been writing all of this to appear on Netflix,” says Brooker of the wink. “To be honest, the whole thing was extremely meta. Throughout the whole process, we’ve often commented on how life has been imitating art, or the other way around.”

Brooker was experiencing many of the tech problems that Stefan faces when he was outlining the complex “branching narrative” story of Bandersnatch. “There were lots of times where we found ourselves pretty much staring at complicated flowcharts and bits of code, much like Pearl does, and as you see, Stefan does,” Brooker says of the writing process. “We had lots of conversations where we would have to simplify it. All of that stuff that you see in Bandersnatch, we ended up saying in real life. It’s a very odd, meta, fourth-wall-, fifth-wall-, sixth-wall-breaking film. I don’t know really how to classify it: as a film or as an experience? Our ambitions were to make it as cinematic as we possibly can.”

[From The Hollywood Reporter]

Here’s a link to a Slate article which outlines all the alternate endings and scenes, the most meta being the Pearl (Colin’s daughter) ending mentioned above. My favorite scene in the version I watched, which involved having Stefan work at home, was a visit he made to Colin’s apartment where they both did drugs. Colin delivered a speech about Pac-Man which was just incredible. After that it took a turn. I was blown away by the meta references in the show, but I had the same problem I always have with Black Mirror, which is that I didn’t care about the characters. Even when you’re making choices for Stefan you know that it’s going to end badly so you try not to get too invested. The styling and the settings are amazing though. They got the early 80s European feel dead on without going overboard (see: Atomic Blonde). The stylists and set designers on Black Mirror need more recognition.

This was the first of what will likely be many interactive projects at Netflix. They developed their own in-house tool to manage all the alternate endings, which were way too complicated for a typical flowchart.

Last Friday, Angelina Jolie guest edited the BBC Radio 4 program Today. We knew she was doing it ahead of time – Angelina has become more involved in the media, and even more specifically, she’s become more involved in British media. BBC Radio 4 even posted some nice photos of Angelina hard at work behind-the-scenes:

Good morning. Angelina Jolie has edited today’s programme. @mishalhusainbbc and @justinonweb are presenting #r4today pic.twitter.com/pXoGV1vbB4

— BBC Radio 4 Today (@BBCr4today) December 28, 2018

As part of the one-time gig, Angelina did grant an interview, and she ended up spilling some interesting information about where she is politically and personally:

Angelina Jolie hinted Friday that she might enter politics – and even seek the White House.

“If you asked me 20 years ago, I would’ve laughed… I always say I’ll go where I’m needed, I don’t know if I’m fit for politics… but then I’ve also joked that I don’t know if I have a skeleton left in my closet…I am pretty open and out there. I can take a lot on the chin. That’s good. I honestly will do whatever I think can really make change,” she told host Justin Webb.

The California-born humanitarian and special envoy the UN Refugee Agency discussed a wide range of issues, including social media, sexual violence and the global refugee crisis – but also waded into politics.

“Right now I am able to work with a UN agency to do a lot of work directly with people in need,” she said. “I’m also able to work with governments and I’m also able to work with militaries, and so I sit in a very interesting place of being able to get a lot done without a title and without it being about myself or my policies,” she continued. Jolie added that “for now,” she would stay quiet.

That comment prompted Webb to press her on whether she could be on the list for the Democrats’ next presidential nomination, she coyly replied: “Thank you.”

And when asked about the rise of nationalism under President Trump and his pursuit of an “America First” agenda, Jolie drew a distinction between patriotism and “narrow nationalism.”

“I am a patriot but I am also an internationalist and I love and value other people and other countries,” she said. “To be a patriot is to be very proud of your country and even your country first but you do not think your country is better than others.”

[From Page Six]

I understand the distinction she’s making about patriotism and nationalism/jingoism, even if I think she could have explained it better? Americans are brought up believing in American Exceptionalism, that we are the best because we were born in America. For many Americans, those beliefs soften with age, and we consider ourselves patriotic Americans, some of whom might be exceptional and some whom are not. What Trump and the Republican party have done is to make the patriotism conversation into some kind of white nationalist, jingoist, narrow and ignorant calling card – American Exceptionalism on steroids, only it’s just smoke and mirrors. I remember during the Bush administration, there were thinkpieces written about how Bush represented the decline – and eventual fall – of the American Empire. I think about that all the time, how America is a fallen empire now, and how even post-Trump, America and American patriotism will never be the same.

As for what Jolie says about possibly getting more involved in politics – do it, Villainess.

Just before Christmas, Andy Cohen announced that he would become a first-time father via surrogacy. Cohen doesn’t seem to be in a relationship right now, and at the age of 50, he sounds committed to raising this child as a single parent. My issue isn’t with his age or his relationship status, but I did have some concerns that Cohen doesn’t seem to like or respect women that much, and I worried that he would have a daughter and everything would be screwed up, long-term. Well, good news? He’s expecting a boy.

While hosting CNN’s New Year’s Eve special, Andy Cohen announced the gender of his baby, who will be born in about a month.

“It’s a boy. It’s a boy,” the Bravo frontman, 50, shared on national television speaking with pal Anderson Cooper. “It’s a boy and I got to tell you something, I cannot wait to meet this boy.”

Cohen, who announced in late December that he’s expecting his first child via surrogate, said 2019 will be the “biggest” year for him. Cohen stopped there at sharing more details – he declined to give a name.

“When I was growing up and when we were growing up, I just never thought it would be possible as a gay man to grow up and have a family,” he added. “By the way, by the time it became possible, I was kind of having too much fun in my life to say, ‘I don’t think I can do this right now.’ But here I am, I turned 50 this year,” Cohen explained. “It takes some people longer to get to that place. And it took me that time.” With his son’s arrival set in the next few weeks, Cohen said he’s “getting the gear” and getting lots of “wonderful advice.”

[From Page Six]

I think in this particular case, it’s probably for the best. I usually think a first-time parent is going to be thrown into utter shambles, regardless of the sex of the baby. But I’m glad he’s not expecting a girl – I think a boy will be easier for him to handle, generally speaking. Also: I suspect that he chose the sex of which fertilized eggs were implanted in the surrogate, because you can do it that now. So my guess is that he wanted a boy.

Vanessa and I are beyond excited to announce that we are expecting another #mambacita to go along with Natalia, Gianna and Bianka #blessed #bryantbunch #daddysprincesses #love #2019

A post shared by Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) on Jan 1, 2019 at 6:44pm PST

After multiple infidelities and one rape charge, Kobe Bryant’s wife Vanessa finally had enough in 2011. She filed for divorce from the man she had been with since they were teenagers. It looked like their divorce was going to be messy and it looked like Vanessa was definitely going to walk away with a major payday. But a year later, she called off their divorce. In 2016, they announced they were expecting their third child, their third girl. Well… it looks like Retired Kobe still wants more kids, because Vanessa is pregnant with another girl.

New year, new Mambacita? Former Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant announced Tuesday night that he and his wife, Vanessa, are expecting their fourth child — a baby girl, or as Bryant wrote, “another #mambacita.” The couple already has three daughters: Natalia, Gianna and Bianka.

[From ESPN]

I feel like it’s sort of weird that Kobe will be the father of four girls – it probably happened naturally, and Vanessa is only 36 years old, and I don’t think she’s needed any fertility treatments for any of her pregnancies. People on Twitter are making a big deal about how Kobe has wanted a boy for a while, so maybe this was Vanessa’s last attempt at “giving him a boy,” only to find out that they’re expecting another girl. I also think it’s weird that Kobe’s whole deal is so whitewashed. It’s not just about giving an Oscar to an accused rapist (which happened). It’s about pretending that Kobe and Vanessa have this super-strong marriage or whatever. They’re extremely messy. But I guess Vanessa is just ride-or-die for him and she’s going to keep on having babies.

In 2017, Gavin Rossdale got a new girlfriend. It was his first serious relationship since splitting from Gwen Stefani. It actually didn’t feel like a big tit-for-tat thing – Gwen moved on from Gavin very quickly with Blake Shelton, and Gavin waited months before he even stepped out with Sophia Thomalla, a German model who is 24 years younger than Gavin. Gavin is currently 53, and Sophia is 29. They had a good run of a bit less than two years. And then it looks like Sophia dumped him for a younger man. *chuckle*

Guess it’s over. Gavin Rossdale‘s girlfriend, Sophia Thomalla, was spotted locking lips with another man, seemingly indicating that she and the British rockstar have split. The German model, 29, was caught passionately kissing soccer player Loris Karius on a beach in Miami on Friday, December 28. The German goalkeeper for Süper Lig club Be?ikta?, on loan from premier league club Liverpool, 25, basked in the sun, shirtless in a lounger, while the blonde beauty, clad in a green bikini, leaned in for a smooch.

Thomalla and the Bush frontman, 53, began dating last year, a source revealed exclusively to Us Weekly in May 2017. So far, neither has commented on the dissolution of their relationship.

The musician posted a picture of himself with the 5-foot-7 beauty with the caption “My [heart emoji]” on his Instagram account in February. The picture has not been deleted, and the pair still follow each other on social media.

[From Us Weekly]

Man, Gavin just keeps taking Ls, doesn’t he? Gwen pretty much left him because he was banging other women, including the nanny, and she outed him as the sad cliche that he is. Then he gets the “younger model” and… she seems to leave him quite publicly for a younger man. How you like them apples, Gav??

Here’s a photo of Sophia and her new boyfriend in Miami post-Christmas. This guy looks… dirty, and his tattoos are not great. But his body is fire.

Bird Box received 45 million streams in a week, making it the most streamed Netflix show ever. There was so much buzz that there were conspiracy theories that Netflix was creating bot accounts to start memes. (Spoiler: they weren’t.) It wasn’t an exceptional movie, but it had all the elements that I love in a film: horror, big stars, a post-apocalyptic setting and a core mystery. Plus it was free and I watched it at home. I wanted to know what happened next and I was never offended at the dialogue or plot, like that terrible Will Smith Netflix movie last year, Bright. (I didn’t watch more than half of that.)

It occurred to me whether filmmakers took blind people and the blind experience into account. It can be considered offensive to portray blindness as a doomsday scenario. (There was a 2008 Julianne Moore and Mark Ruffalo movie, Blindness, which was criticized for portraying blind people as depraved.) Sandra did work with a blind instructor, who told her that blind people would like to be recognized for their abilities. He also taught her how to move around using other senses.

[Bullock] revealed she also worked closely with a blind instructor to learn how to move and react without her eyesight for the Netflix film.

“I said, ‘What is it that the [blind] community wants represented on screen?’ He said, ‘I’d like for us to finally see our abilities rather than our [limitations],’” she explained. “It’s mind-blowing what abilities they have even though they don’t have their sight.”

She continued, “In the few times that we met, [we] were able to take away a few lessons like if we were blindfolded we could walk in this room, we could tell you were the people were, where the walls were if there was an object there.”

“Your body senses things that we just don’t use because we have our sight,” she added. “It’s pretty amazing.”

[From People]

Given that we haven’t heard the same criticism of Bird Box as there was of Blindness (that may be due to the plot however) they must have done a decent job.

Spoilers for Bird Box
I read in a thread on Twitter that the book ended with people gouging their eyes out. (Not the leads, just some of the sighted people at the school for the blind where they found refuge.) This ending was a lot sunnier than that and I thought it was a little too perfect. I like horror movies to end with the suggestion that things can go south again. Also, we never saw the monsters on screen we just heard them. That made sense as they took the form of the person’s fears. However there was a plan to show one of the monsters. Director Susanne Bier said that they shot a scene with a green snake-like monster with a creepy baby face but that it ended up being cut. The monster seemed out of place and made everyone crack up laughing.

Also, how good was Trevante Rhodes? I want to see him in all the things.

Carrie Underwood is experiencing the difficulties of the third trimester of pregnancy and the newest challenge for the country singer is tying her own shoes. But not to worry, she has her two boys to give her a hand.

Watch Carrie’s Boys Come to Momma’s Aid

I can no longer tie my own shoes…So glad I have such sweet helpers! ?

A post shared by Carrie Underwood (@carrieunderwood) on Dec 30, 2018 at 8:55am PST

Underwood, 35, shared a sweet video of her husband Mike Fischer and their 3-year-old son Isaiah giving the pregnant mama some much-needed assistance on the small task.

The American Idol season 4 winner who is due in January captioned the Instagram video, “I can no longer tie my own shoes…So glad I have such sweet helpers.”

The proud mama gave praise to her son in the video saying, “You’re doing a good job, buddy. Fischer was a doting father and husband in the video offering to help out his son but Isaiah wouldn’t take any help from his father. Showing what a big boy he is he said to Fischer, “No I’ve got it. I’m doing it a cool way.”

Not being able to bend over and tie her shoes isn’t the only challenge the star has run into during her 3rd trimester. Underwood has had her fair share of insomnia and it’s costing her, literally.

The country sensation has been candid about her struggles to give her son Isaiah a sibling. After miscarrying multiple times Carrie Underwood is grateful that she is finally able to grow her family. “It took us a while to get here,” Underwood told Us. “I’m just so thankful … to find out Isaiah’s gonna have a baby brother. It was just great news. We’re excited.”

Well, we finally have the end-of-year numbers for how many events the British royal family did for 2018. This is always a pretty interesting way to end one year and start another, and I’m expecting our annual PR missive from Poor Jason Knauf about how the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are super-keen to really work in 2019. It’s a tradition at this point! And yes, I do think we should factor in the Duchess of Cambridge’s pregnancy and maternity leave into her numbers, just as I think we should factor in the fact that Meghan only became a duchess in May, AND she’s pregnant too. That still doesn’t explain Harry and William’s lack of engagements, especially given that Prince Charles did 507 EVENTS this year.

He celebrated his 70th birthday this year, but Prince Charles showed his devotion to royal duties as he completed 507 engagements this year compared to his son Prince William’s 220. Although being second in line to the throne, the Duke of Cambridge, 36, carried out fewer engagements in 2018 than most older royal family members and less than half the number of his father Prince Charles. And just seven members of the royal family completed more days than the Prince of Wales, including the Queen and her cousin the Duke of Gloucester, 74, according to the annual compilation of royal engagements by Tim O’Donovan. But Prince William did carry out one more engagements than the Duchess of Cornwall who was once described as ‘the laziest woman in Britain’.

Despite celebrating her 92nd birthday in April, the Queen showed no intention of slowing down and completed 283 official engagements throughout the year. The monarch increased her workload by 25 per cent this year, according to Write Royalty. Despite the Duchess of Sussex only becoming a royal in May after her marriage to Prince Harry, Meghan has already completed more royal engagements than the Duchess of Cambridge. The Duchess of Sussex made her first official royal engagement just three days after her nuptials when she attended Prince Charles 70th Birthday celebrations in Buckingham Palace. She has since completed a tour of Australasia where she announced her pregnancy. Meghan’s working days are expected to increase next year, as the Queen is expected to pass along her patronages to other family members.

The Duchess of Cambridge carried out the least number of engagements than any other members of the royal family with 87 appearances and events. Prince Harry carried out 193 events.

Princess Anne, 68, was the crowned the hardest working royal for the third year running with a total of 518 royal engagements. The Earl of Wessex and Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, carried out more than younger royals Prince Harry and Prince William – despite the brothers’ fame.

[From The Daily Mail]

It sucks that Meghan’s events only began to “count” when she got married, because chica was doing tons of events during her engagement and she really did demonstrate her eager work ethic. I wonder what 2019 will bring – I suspect that unlike in years past, Kate will front-load her year with events in February and March, especially during Meghan’s last trimester, and Kate launching her big Broken Britain charity initiative or whatever. But will Kate still be extra keen by the time Meghan’s maternity leave happens? I don’t know. If we’ve learned anything from the past year, it’s that Kate thrives on head-to-head competition, so the best way to get Kate to work is to get Meghan in front of cameras more often.

As for Harry and William – they have no excuses. Both princes need to be doing a lot better.

It was clear several months ago that Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) was planning a presidential run. She tried to get ahead of the “Native American DNA” controversy by taking a DNA test and putting together a long video about her family. I was surprised by the reaction to Warren’s attempt to negate this attack on her, that “she lied” about having Native American ancestry. It felt like people were MORE offended that Warren addressed the controversy directly by taking a DNA test rather than all of the racist attacks against her for years, with even Donald Trump calling her “Pocahontas” and saying he wouldn’t believe a DNA test until he gave her one himself. It’s like journalists and professional political operatives have completely lost the f–king thread of this dumbsh-ttery in the Trump Era. I could go on and on about this, but I won’t. Right now.

Anyway, Sen. Warren’s #ButHerDNA issue was largely seen, by the political class, as a red mark against her. I guess they thought she’d just walk away from a presidential run. She’s not walking away.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren jumped into the 2020 presidential campaign Monday, offering a message of economic populism as she became the best-known Democratic candidate yet to enter what is expected to be a crowded race. Warren’s announcement that she was establishing an exploratory committee — the legal precursor to a run — came as other candidates, including several of her fellow senators, made final preparations for their own announcements, some of which are expected in days.

“America’s middle class is under attack,” the Massachusetts Democrat said in a four-minute, 30-second video emailed to supporters Monday. “How did we get here? Billionaires and big corporations decided they wanted more of the pie. And they enlisted politicians to cut them a bigger slice.”

The video is part biographical, showing her hardscrabble Oklahoma upbringing; part economics lesson, replete with charts illustrating how the middle class is losing economic ground; and part red meat for the Democratic base, with images of President Trump and others disliked by liberals: presidential aides Kellyanne Conway and Stephen Miller and former adviser Stephen K. Bannon.

It made no mention of a recent Warren stumble: her October decision to release results of a DNA test that said she probably had a distant Native American ancestor. The move had been meant to stifle Trump’s criticism of her but only engendered more mockery from him while also angering Democrats, particularly minorities who objected to her defining ethnicity via a test. While the race for the Democratic nomination is only starting, even Warren’s supporters acknowledge that she has lost ground in the last few months, both by her own hand and because the November midterm elections redefined Democratic success with candidates who were in many cases a generation younger.

[From WaPo]

So, she’s running. And it’s very early – I expect that she’ll be the first person to plainly make these moves for another two months. Joe Biden will make some noise, and I’ve already seen that my former Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe is making some noise too (McAuliffe should not run – I voted for him and I thought he was a good governor, but I don’t want to see a presidential run from him). In lieu of big announcements from other people, Sen. Warren is going to take a lot of hits. Right now, I’ll support her. But if Kamala Harris gets in the race… lord, I don’t know.
