We actually have some interesting Tom Hiddleston news this week! I’m excited. I can’t wait for Lord Dragonfly’s Promotional Trails to begin in earnest. First up, I Saw the Light has a US release date – it will come out November 27th in America, which is a good time for an Oscar-bait release. Early November would actually be better, but I suspect ISTL will be coming to several of the late summer/early fall film festivals, possible TIFF and the BFI London Film Festival. Radio Times did a piece about how the “Oscar omens” are looking pretty good, and it does genuinely seem like Sony Pictures Classics (the distributor for ISTL) will be spending some money for a potential Hiddles Oscar Campaign. SQUEE! Still, it’s a little early to be calling Tommy Hiddles “the Next Eddie Redmayne.”

As for Crimson Peak, this tweet went out yesterday:

CRIMSON PEAK comic-con panel in Hall H will feature Guillermo Del Toro, @twhiddleston, @jes_chastain and Mia Wasikowska. Can’t wait for this

— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) July 1, 2015

I suspect that this is true. I suspect that Crimson Peak’s presence in Hall H – the biggest “get” of Comic Con – is more about Guillermo del Toro than Hiddleston. Del Toro is utterly beloved by Comic Con geeks, so it’s going to be mostly about him. But Hiddles helps.

And finally, some weird/bad news. In a few months, Tom was about to start filming on Kong: Skull Island – which will serve as some kind of prequel to the traditional King Kong films we already have – and two of Tom’s big-name costars have just tapped out suddenly.

Universal and Legendary Pictures will have to do without an Oscar winner and an Oscar nominee. Because, thanks to a change in the filming schedule, both J.K. Simmons and Michael Keaton have had to leave Kong: Skull Island. That means Tom Hiddleston is, at least for the immediate future, the only person set to charter a voyage to the giant ape-inhabited isle, though the producers and director Jordan Vogt-Roberts are already out in the wilds with giant casting nets looking to capture two new co-stars.

The film finds a team of explorers venturing deep into the island’s jungles in search of its mysterious creatures and, most likely, getting much more than they bargained for. Universal, in turn, will be hoping that the presence of huge beasts lumbering around an island threatening to eat people will bring the Jurassic World crowd out.

Vogt-Roberts was originally planning to kick off production in the autumn, but that has now moved back a few weeks to closer to the end of the year. According to Deadline the film’s release plan (March 10, 2017 currently here) shouldn’t be affected. Both of the actors are in demand at the moment: Keaton (his voice at least) is on screens in Minions and he’s worked on Spotlight and The Founder. Simmons is in Terminator Genisys, which is just arriving now, and he’s part of Worlds Apart, The Accountant, Meddler, Kung Fu Panda 3, The Lake and thriller TV series Counterpart.

The thing about JK Simmons is that I will always believe that he’s a busy man, Oscar or no Oscar. JK works constantly and always has – he’s one of America’s greatest character actors and he has no ego about where and how he works (TV projects, indie films, studio films). I could buy that he had a scheduling conflict. But taken with Keaton’s departure at the same time, I have to wonder if it’s not so much about scheduling and more like this is a really troubled production.

One of the tabloids’ favorite go-to stories is always “LeAnn Rimes is going broke because Eddie loves expensive toys and her career is in the toilet.” At one point, LeAnn was very successful. So successful that she had a reported wealth of about $20 million. But I kind of doubt that number, especially since LeAnn has downgraded on a lot of stuff in the past five years, like selling off her Nashville home for a significant loss, and taking weird and low-paying gigs which a “rich” person wouldn’t have to do. So does LeAnn really have money problems? Star Magazine and OK! Magazine say she does. And they backed it up with documentation. Apparently, LeAnn and Eddie borrowed $350,000 from their friends, the Fradins, and they still haven’t paid it back.

LeAnn Rimes & Eddie Cibrian are pinching pennies these days! When the celebrity pair wanted to buy a $3 million Hidden Hills, Calif., mansion, they just didn’t have enough in the bank to cover their new home. “LeAnn and Eddie took out a $2.1 million loan from the bank, but that’s all they were qualified to borrow,” spills the source.

“They scraped together $550,000 in cash, but the remaining down payment was provided by their pals,” which the source says these pals, Dave and Lizzie Fradin, might quickly see was a “recipe for a disaster.”

“If LeAnn and Eddie fail to repay the loan, the Fradins could foreclose on their house!” dishes the source. Documents show LeAnn and Eddie’s pal Dave Fradin as the beneficiary of a trust established so the cash-strapped couple could buy their home.

The celebrity pair didn’t see the harm in borrowing though, especially since LeAnn’s newest album Spitfire might be the savior to pay back their debt, but it turned out to be a bust.

“She was the hottest singer 20 years ago, but LeAnn, 32, didn’t manager her money properly,” says the source. “She burned through her $20 million fortune.”

While the families vacation together and the Fradins’ two sons are friends with Eddie’s boys, Mason, 12, and Jake, 8, they clearly haven’t forgotten about the money. Now, LeAnn’s husband, who is the CFO of his company, Majestic Asset Management, reaffirmed the debt in May 2015.

[From Star Magazine]

OK! Mag clarifies some of the issues – they say the money was borrowed in 2012, which means LeAnn and Eddie have gone three years without paying the money back or even making some payments to their friends. Apparently, the Fradins have also filed paperwork basically saying that LeAnn and Eddie need to pay them back ASAP or they will foreclose on the home. OK! Magazine also says that Eddie and LeAnn are so low on money “they can barely afford groceries!” YIKES. Could it be that I am more fiscally responsible and a better money manager than LeAnn Rimes? Probably.

Tom Cruise takes the cover of Star with a too-good-to-be-true story about how he’s preparing to leave Scientology. The story actually falls in line with recent reports that he wants to show off his dad skillz with Suri duing his M:I 5 publicity tour. I don’t think this Star story is a plant by Tom’s team, but the timing is convenient. Tom needs the public to adore him and buy tickets to see him hang off an airplane like an idiot. He’s in the difficult position of largely bankrolling Scientology, but he knows his image cannot survive another hit.

Tom won’t point his finger and accuse people of being “glib,” ever again. He certainly can’t defend the CO$ after the Going Clear doc. Tom has to distance himself from the PR aspects of CO$. He also needs to explain why he doesn’t see Suri. So this story would accomplish several goals at once. Jezebel summarizes Star’s article by saying, “Tom has finally had enough” and that he “may soon part ways with the cultlike religion.” Here’s some more of the story, which revolves around a life-changing phone call:

“[Suri] was going on and on about her ballet class and how much she loves it. That’s when Tom realized he’s never seen her perform ballet and he started to tear up,” the insider claimed. “It hit him that she’s growing up before his eyes and he’s not there to witness most of it. They talk on the phone and video chat, but it’s not the same.” Phone calls and video chats for Tom and Suri can’t really replace spending actual, physical time with each other, especially since Suri is so young.

The source went on to explain the predicament Tom is allegedly in. “Tom has been under tremendous pressure where Suri and Katie are concerned because the church doesn’t want him close to them. They can’t stand that their own poster boy isn’t raising his child in the church,” the source said. “If they label Suri a suppressive person (a Scientology term for an enemy of the church), as they’ve been known to do with dissenters, that would make it hard for Tom to have a relationship with her. He’s between a rock and a hard place, but he’s finally making a choice to put his daughter first. Tom has missed birthdays, school events, all the special parts of childhood that happen so fast and are gone before you know it. Suri is not a baby anymore; she is fully aware that her father isn’t around much. When she speaks to him on the phone, it’s becoming more and more like she’s talking to a stranger.”

[From Star (via Hollywood Life]

Ehhh. Do you buy that Tom would suddenly realize the error of his ways with one phone call? I don’t think he’s capable of such nuanced emotion. He’s an empty shell after decades of auditing. Whatever would Tom do without the CO$ kissing his tush and treating him like a god? He’d never cope. Anyway, it’s been a few good years since we heard a “crisis of faith” tale about the Cruise, so I guess this Star story was overdue.

P.S. Tom’s Hollywood Hills home just dropped $1 million in asking price. No one wants to buy the houses that slave labor built.

Mariah Carey & James Packer have taken their Yacht of Love to Formentera and Ibiza, in Spain. These photos are from Wednesday, and as you can see, Mariah did several costume changes for the paparazzi. She even wore a wetsuit again, for what looked like the quickest ocean dip ever. But my favorite photos – other than the ones of Mariah trying to balance in heels on sand – are the ones of Mariah falling down the yacht stairs as she tries to gracefully meet her lover in the smaller boat to take them to shore. This is what happens when you make Mariah walk on her own! SHE ALMOST FELL!! And she almost took down that yacht employee too! That poor bastard saw his life flash before his eyes.

Mariah is in the new issue of Us Weekly – she did their “25 Things You Don’t Know About…” feature, which is one of my favorite magazine features. Mariah’s 25 Things were all pretty amazing, but I’m just going to do some highlights. You can read the full piece here.

She was a smoker: “I smoked quite frequently from the time I was 12 to when I was 18. I gave up smoking in one day and never went back. I absolutely detest cigarette smoke now.”

Toxic lighting: “I have an extreme aversion to overhead lighting. In my opinion, elevator lighting is toxic!”

Nails: “I have totally natural nails.” [Editor’s Note: ME TOO!]

Birthdays: “I do not observe birthdays. I do, however, celebrate the anniversary of my birth [March 27] every day at 3:27 a.m., p.m., EST, PST, and ST!”

Her spare time: “I arrange flowers in my spare time. Well, when I have spare time, that is.”

She’s a cook! “I can make a mean gluten-free lasagna and an even meaner pecan pie.” Also: “I make incredible food every Christmas Eve.”

The worst pain ever: “I dislocated my shoulder two years ago, and it was the worst pain I’ve ever experienced. I had to wear a glove for a while because it affected my hand as well. Thanks to physical therapy, I’m finally glove-free!”

Time: “Time is irrelevant to me. I never wear a watch.”

Swimwear: “I swim in evening gowns and heels.”

When she throws a fit: “I hate mascara. I never wear it. Whenever a makeup artist tries to put it on me, I throw a fit.”

Serenity: “The bathtub is my place of serenity. Any tub, really — bathtub, hot tub or whatever. As long as there is water.”

She’s not good at math: “I was a mathlete. Just kidding — I even failed remedial math!”

[From Us Weekly]

I’m side-eyeing all of the stuff that involves Mariah actually moving of her own accord. Do you think she’s actually in the kitchen making pecan pies and Christmas cookies? I do not believe it. But I am shocked to see that I have some similarities with Mariah – I love bathtubs, water, showers. I don’t wear a watch either, but that’s because I’m not crazy about wearing anything on my wrist (except I’m actually compulsively early for everything, not late). I never wear mascara either and I’ve always had natural nails, never fake. Mariah and I are kindred souls. Thankfully, when I fall down, I tend to be a bit more graceful (JK, I’m a mess).

A photo posted by Marilyn Manson (@marilynmanson) on Jul 1, 2015 at 8:30am PDT

Yesterday, Justin Bieber wore this retro Marilyn Manson t-shirt to a Hillsong Church conference in Australia. Many consider Hillsong to display cult-like leanings, but Bieber simply wants to be seen as a good Christian. This is part of his ongoing redemption tour. Why is Swaggy wearing a blasphemous Manson t-shirt? I suspect he’s doing so ironically and for the same reason Kendall Jenner wore a Megadeth tee to Coachella. Neither Kendall nor Swaggy cares about the music, they’re simply trying to seem disaffected and hipstery.

See? A few days ago, Bieber wore a retro Metallica shirt too!

I doubt Swaggy put much thought into wearing either of these shirts. Metallica certainly doesn’t care who’s wearing their t-shirts. But Manson? He’s reacting far too much over the sighting. Manson Instagrammed the header picture plus two more pics about Bieber wearing his shirt. He captioned one of them, “The real hell word.” He’s either amused or disgusted. I prefer the latter option but, above all, hope Manson isn’t flattered by the association.

This is how Manson should have looked when he saw this news.

SPOILERS for True Detective

I’m probably going to be sticking with True Detective for a while longer, because I want to see how last Sunday’s cliffhanger plays out. I’ve watched the GIF of the “blood” spurting out of Colin Farrell’s abdominal gunshot wound several times, so it’s going to be interesting if they just have him walking around like nothing happened after a few days in the hospital. Another reason why I’m sticking with TD? Because I’m sort of enjoying Rachel McAdams and Colin’s scenes together. They do have chemistry, and I always sort of believed the rumors that Colin and Rachel might be hittin’ in real life. But now Us Weekly/Daily Mail says that Rachel is actually just starting up with Taylor Kitsch! Boooooo.

They star together on crime drama True Detective. And no doubt Rachel McAdams was an arresting sight Taylor Kitsch. The two co-stars of the HBO series have reportedly found romance off-screen with each other despite previously already having a friendship before shooting together.

‘It hasn’t been long,’ a source told UsWeekly of the blossoming romance. ‘But it’s serious.’

The two do have a familiarity with one another as they have been ‘friends for years’ a source close to 36-year-old Rachel told the weekly. ‘They grew closer on set.’

Things certainly seem to be going swimmingly as an insider added to UsWeekly added that the pair ‘are really into each other.’

The news comes just weeks after the Canadian actors were spotted enjoying dinner together at West Hollywood hotspot Osteria Mozza on June 2.

[From The Daily Mail]

Some people really wanted Rachel with Jake Gyllenhaal, but to me… Jake is so neutered. It’s not that he’s un-sexy, it’s that he’s asexual. I want Rachel with someone who will really rock her world. Is Taylor Kitsch that guy? I don’t know. But it’s cute that she’s dating another Canadian and Taylor is probably better “boyfriend material” than Colin. Still… Colin and Rachel together? It would have been a hot, beautiful mess. Last thing: I find Kitsch’s True Detective character to be the most boring. So far, Paul hasn’t brought anything to the table but homophobia and squints.

Robin Thicke has a new interview with the New York Times to promote his upcoming album. Robin is winding up to overcome his failed stalker album, Paula. The interview touches on Thicke’s drug use and boozing (to numb the pain of losing Paula Patton). He also goes into the Marvin Gaye verdict a bit but not much. Mostly, Thicke wants you to forget all about “Blurred Lines” and Paula. Forget how he stalked his estranged wife with creepy videos. Never mind how he ruined all his remaining goodwill with a disastrous #AskThicke Q&A and starred in a #GetHerBack flower ad. Thicke is on a redemption tour.

Thicke says his new record is not about romance but about fatherhood. He got good advice from a friend, who must not have been paying attention too closely because he doled out advice too late. But Thicke says he heeded his pal’s warnings and stepped away from the spotlight. By “stepping away,” Thicke means vacationing, getting papped, publicly making out with his new girlfriend. April Love Geary is 20 years old, and she looks so much like Paula. What throws me off here is how Thicke references Marcel Proust right away:

Thicke embarrassed himself: “There’s a thing that Marcel Proust referred to as supersaturation. When the past, present, and future all become very clear and high-definition and surround-sound in one moment. My supersaturation came right after I performed on the BET Awards. I dedicated the performance [of the song ‘Forever Love’] to my ex. And I came home, and my best friend of 20 years, Craig Crawford, said, ‘I saw your BET performance.’ And I said: ‘Oh yeah! What did you think?’ You know — excited. And he goes: ‘I gotta be honest with you, buddy. You’re kind of playing yourself. You look like a sucker.’ And it hit me that I’d lost my perspective. What I thought was romantic was just embarrassing. And he said, ‘You should just go away for a while.’ So I shut everything down. I took some time off to be with my son, and to be with my family and close friends. And the more time I took off, the more everything became clear.”

Is he sheepish by his stalker album? “Look, my songwriting has always been autobiographical, and always will be. The Paula album was no different. I was struggling through my toughest time, and I decided to share it. And I remember my team and my record company didn’t want me to put it out, but they stuck by me. In hindsight, the only thing I would have done differently was, I wouldn’t have promoted it or sold it. I would have given it away. That would have kept the purity of the message intact.”

The drugs, man: “When ‘Blurred Lines’ first exploded, I had this chip on my shoulder: ‘Hey, wait a second! I’ve been doing this for 15 years, guys!’ And then, you know, I started to force it a little bit. The ego is a very dangerous place. I was supposed to be living the dream, and yet I was in a nightmare because of a crumbling marriage. I had finally reached the pinnacle of success — on paper, I had it all. But I wasn’t happy. And so you start grasping for something else to make you happy. Drugs and alcohol became a way for me to cope. And then you start saying things in interviews, desperate for a little extra attention. And then it becomes a sympathy tour.”

His GQ interview where he said, “What a pleasure it is to degrade a woman”: “I was in Ron Burgundy character, just telling a bad joke. I would never — that was just sarcasm.”

[From New York Times]

So … what Thicke regrets most about the Paula album is that he didn’t give it away. Well, that’s the only way anyone would listen because dude couldn’t sell copies! This redemption tour should be interesting. The sad thing is that Thicke had cred as an R&B artist before “Blurred Lines” blew up. Can he ever get back to being a serious musician (who isn’t degrading or stalking women with his music)? I doubt it.

It’s sort of crazy to think that Channing Tatum is arguably our biggest movie star right now. Of his generation, I mean. The late 20s, early 30s actors. Channing is bigger than the Marvel guys, he’s bigger than many of the so-called “great young actors.” And by that I mean Channing has been delivering big hits pretty consistently, Jupiter Ascending notwithstanding. So it’s an obvious choice to be Channing on the August cover of Vanity Fair. He’s pretty, he’s potato-y, he’s got fantastic arms and Channing knows how to give a good interview. You can read the full piece here (VF did release their entire cover story) and here are some highlights:

The Sony Hack email: “I’m sure, I’m positive, I’ve written bad e-mail. I just got lucky that’s not the one out there.”

Why he did Foxcatcher: “I’d come to this place where I didn’t want to just keep doing parts because I think the movies will do well. I want to do character work. I still like all the movies I’ve done … but with Foxcatcher I went deeper.”

The birth of his first child: “It was crazy. You feel helpless. We like to think of ourselves as big, strong men, and we could handle whatever situation. And reality is [that women] are so much stronger than we could ever be. There’s a reason why we weren’t given that job, evolutionary or whatever. My wife, she’s a warrior. She did it as natural as you can. [As a man], you’re basically a cheerleader. ‘Come on, baby, you can do it.’ I would’ve tapped out in the first.”

Fatherhood: “It’s scary. You made this thing and have to bring it into the world together. You think people are going to be there, but ultimately you just have each other. Knock on wood, everything goes well, now you have a baby. They’re like, ‘O.K., here you go.’ They hand it to you, and you’re like, ‘Uh, wait a minute. Aren’t you guys going to come home with us and make sure we’re not screwing this thing up?’ I think every parent has that moment where they’re like, ‘Oh, maybe this was a bad idea; we don’t know how to do this.’ You can’t put it back in there. It doesn’t go that direction. But Jenna is a super mom. There’s no other way to say it. She is there every single second, every single day. I love being a dad. They’re like little mirrors running around. They show you things about yourself you wouldn’t pay attention to before. Jenna says it all the time: ‘Oh, my God, that is so you right there.’ But I don’t know if I’m good at it.”

Bad fathers: “Conversely, I know some guys that would’ve been better off without their fathers around. It’s case-by-case: did you get loved too much or not enough? I now look back on my own parents and have a better appreciation.”

His fitness: “You work out as much as you possibly can to burn, but that part is not hard for me. I enjoy it. I have a great trainer and great buddies and we push each other … run, cycle, hit the bags … CrossFit stuff. But you can do that five times a day and if you’re not eating right you’re not going to lose anything. There’s a bunch of schools of thought. I’ve gone Paleo, where they let you eat bacon. I’ve also done the opposite and carbed out in the morning, oatmeal or some sort of a starch. I like grits.”

Movie stars & social media: “This is something we were just talking about. The Brad Pitts, the Leos, the Downeys: Why aren’t there new versions of those guys? I think people just know too much about actors, about everything. Behind the scenes. It’s almost like the world is so with you all the time, people on the phones and blah blah blah, that to go into a movie theater for three hours and lose that time is harder and harder. People watch TV at home and they’re still on their phone, wired. They’re even wired to the actors. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. You feel connected. So that [actor] doesn’t feel as mythic anymore. I used to go see movies to watch people because I didn’t know anything about them. The only time I got access was in a movie. I wanted to go see the movie because I hadn’t seen my guy in a while.”

[From Vanity Fair]

He talks a lot about Magic Mike XXL, obviously, and he chats for a while about Quentin Tarantino and working on The Hateful Eight. It’s a good piece, but I can feel Channing becoming more guarded as he grows up and becomes Hollywood’s go-to guy – it feels like just four years ago, Channing would have done this interview in Alabama and he would have been wrestling hogs or something, for fun. As for “where are the Pitts, Leos and Downeys of his generation?” He’s it. He’s the Pitt/Leo for many people.

Kim Kardashian covers the new issue of Rolling Stone. The cover is… ample. If you couldn’t figure out, the photoshoot was done by Terry Richardson. Gross. The Kardashians have a difficult relationship with Rolling Stone – RS once published a massive slam-piece and everyone laughed, but as with so many Kardashian-related things, the Kardashians always get the last laugh. This RS cover profile of Kim is actually… nice. She talks about a lot of different stuff. Some highlights:

Whether she’s a role model: “In a certain way, I would never say I think I’m a role model or anything like that, but you know I live my life the way that I live it and I just try to be a good person. And I don’t try to look to be a role model for people. I think it’s a lot of pressure. If they think of me that way I’m so honored and so appreciative and I do what I can to be one, I guess.”

She once dated Michael Jackson’s nephew, TJ. At the time, her dad, Robert Kardashian, “explained to me that he’s had a lot of interracial friends, and it might not be the easiest relationship. He said I should prepare myself for people to say things to me.?.?.?.?When I was in high school, I’d get magazines and see interracial couples and think, ‘They are so cute.’ I’ve always been attracted to a certain kind of look.”

Her secret marriage to Damon Thomas at age 20. “I was very happy at home learning how to cook and clean and keep a house. I knew that was where I wanted to end up.”

Finding Bruce Jenner cross-dressing when she was in her 20s: “I was shaking. I didn’t know if I’d just found out his deepest, darkest secret, and he was going to come after me.”

Before she married Kanye, they talked about Bruce: “I wasn’t sure if Bruce was going to be comfortable walking me down the aisle. He had just had his trachea shaved, so I knew something was going on.” She was afraid of what West might think, but West calmed her concerns. “[Kanye] obviously moves to his own drum. He lives his life the way he wants, a really authentic life, and he was like, ‘If you can’t be authentic and you can’t live your life, what do you have?’?”

Living with her dad during the OJ Simpson trial: “It was surreal, with Johnnie Cochran and Robert Shapiro and all these guys having meetings at my dad’s house… I definitely took my dad’s side. We just always thought my dad was the smartest person in the world, and he really believed in his friend… It’s weird. I just try not to think about it.”

She self-identifies as a feminist: “I’ve never really been one on labels, and I don’t like to push my view. If I feel something, it’s how I feel. I never say, ‘I feel this way, so you should feel that way.’ Not that there’s anything wrong with it, but I just am who I am. But, yeah. I think you would call me a feminist.”

She’s never flashed her biscuit for the paparazzi: “I rarely wear underwear, but that never happened to me. I was never drinking.?.?.?.?I think that saved me a lot.”

What she thinks about her sex tape now: “I don’t really think about it. I thought about it for a long time. But when I get over something, I get over it.”

On The Sock One: “It’s not that mysterious, what’s happening with Rob. He has gained weight. He feels uncomfortable being on the show, and that’s OK. Do I think he smokes weed, drinks beer, hangs out and plays video games with his friends all day long? Yes.”

[From Rolling Stone]

I kind of enjoy how Kim is the tough-love sister about Rob. Khloe is the one who will smother Rob with love and Kourtney is too self-absorbed to care. But Kim is the only one saying to Rob, “Tough sh-t, get over it.” I also didn’t know that Kim was living with her dad during the OJ Simpson trial – she also says that OJ moved in with her dad briefly and he stayed in Khloe’s bedroom (when Khloe wasn’t living there, obviously). Isn’t that… weird to think about?

Her feminism answer bugs me because she’s trying so hard to not alienate the people who “hate” feminism. She could have just owned it and said, yeah, I’m a feminist. Big deal.
