My air card is f-cking up today. To clarify: Jacek f-cked it up. So my connection is unreliable and I’m trying to get this sorted. So sorry for any inconvenience. I’ll post as soon as I can as often as I can.

The 16-year-old son of David Beckham and Victoria Beckham is making his mark as a male model.
Brooklyn Beckham covers the latest issue of Rollacoaster donning Polo Ralph Lauren. Inside the U.K. publication, the trendy teen also rocks designs by Calvin Klein and Coach.
Last year, Posh and Becks’ eldest child was featured on the cover of Man About Town.
Brooklyn’s younger brother Romeo, now 12, made his modeling debut with Burberry at the tender age of 10.
In addition to their two models, Victoria and David are also parents to son Cruz, 10, and daughter Harper, 3.
Which Beckham kid will be next?

The female-lead Ghostbusters movie is slated to start filming this summer, and as such, casting is underway. Last night, director Paul Feig announced on Twitter that Chris Hemsworth will appear in the movie in the “Janine” role, playing the Ghostbusters’ receptionist.
It’s time for another episode of “Salma Hayek Has Amazing Skin & Wants To Tell You All About It.” I don’t understand why I seem to be doing endless coverage celebrity ladies giving infomercial interviews as they hawk their products. But here we are. Salma has a beauty line, Nuance Salma Hayek, and it feels like she’s been promoting it for years. Last month, she talked about how she doesn’t do Botox, she doesn’t do peels or fillers and she looks amazing and you can too if only you would just use Nuance Salma Hayek. Salma has a new interview with People and it’s a lot of the same.
Her beauty routine: “I don’t really take big risks when it comes to beauty. I think a big risk is plastic surgery. I’m very conservative in my beauty routine.”
Would she ever get plastic surgery? “I don’t know if I would never get plastic surgery. I’m not planning on it right now.”
Her thoughts on Botox: “I don’t believe in Botox, especially when [people] do it so young. They destroy themselves. They keep telling young girls, ‘Do it young, so you never get wrinkles.’ No, your face is going to fall. You’ll have to keep getting more and more and more each time. So if you’re going to do it, I recommend doing it as late as you can.”
Her mom’s advice: “I had a great mother who gave [beauty advice] to me, which is wash your face before you go to sleep — no matter what. She and my grandmother told me, ‘You have to do this for yourself. Just think about how much faster you’re going to age if you don’t.’”
[From People]
Okay, that wasn’t as annoying as I expected. I actually agree with her about Botox: it’s insane to think that 20-something and 30-something women are doing Botox. STAHP. I’m not sure about the science of “your face is going to fall” though. Is that true? If you do Botox and fillers for months or years and then stop, does your face just collapse in an unnatural way? I’ve always thought that when the crap wears off, you would just look the same as before, not worse.
Oh, Salma also says that she prefers air-drying over blow-drying. I could not agree more! I’ve been air-drying my hair for years and years. I don’t even own a blow-dryer. I’m lucky with my Indian hair in some ways, in that I don’t need special products or anything and my hair looks fine. The bad part about my hair: I can’t really do anything to it. Even if I tried to style it with products, my hair doesn’t “take” anything. So, yes… air-dry if you can. Air-drying makes me happy (I’m air-drying as we speak!).

The Hollywood Reporter has been doing “roundtable” discussions with various actors ahead of the Emmy nominations announcement (July 16th). Last week, some of the presumptive Emmy contenders for men in dramas got their roundtable, and this week, it’s the women in drama. The roundtable consisted of Taraji P. Henson, Viola Davis, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jessica Lange, Lizzy Caplan and Ruth Wilson. Just a word on Lizzy Caplan: Masters of Sex killed it in their first season but the second season was AWFUL and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if the hype around the show at this point was non-existent. Anyway, you can read the THR piece here. I just wanted to highlight a few comments from Maggie and Viola, because I’m sure people will be talking about them:
Maggie Gyllenhaal on “not being pretty enough”: “When I was starting out, I used to hear “no” a lot and still do. And, “You’re not sexy enough. You’re not pretty enough.” When I was really young, I auditioned for this really bad movie with vampires. I wore a dress to the audition that I thought was really hot. Then I was told I wasn’t hot enough. My manager at the time said, “Would you go back and sex it up a little bit?” So I put on leather pants, a pink leopard skinny camisole and did the audition again and still didn’t get the part. After that, I was like, “OK, f— this!”
Viola on feeling like she was typecast as “downtrodden, mammy-ish” women: “There was absolutely no precedent for [my character on HTGAWM]. I had never seen a 49-year-old, dark-skinned woman who is not a size 2 be a sexualized role in TV or film. I’m a sexual woman, but nothing in my career has ever identified me as a sexualized woman. I was the prototype of the “mommified” role. Then all of a sudden, this part came, and fear would be an understatement. When I saw myself for the first time in the pilot episode, I was mortified. I saw the fake eyelashes and, “Are you kidding me? Who is going to believe this?” And then I thought: “OK, this is your moment to not typecast yourself, to play a woman who is sexualized and do your investigative work to find out who this woman is and put a real woman on TV who’s smack-dab in the midst of this pop fiction.
Viola on likability: “The thing I had to get used to with TV was the likability factor. People have to like you, people have to think you’re pretty. I was going to have to face a fact that people were going to look at me and say: “I have no idea why they cast her in a role like this. She just doesn’t fit. It should have been someone like Halle Berry. It’s her voice, and she doesn’t walk like a supermodel in those heels.” And people do say that, they do. But what I say to that is the women in my life who are sexualized are anywhere from a size zero to a size 24. They don’t walk like supermodels in heels. They take their wig and makeup off at night. So this role was my way of saying, “Welcome to womanhood!” It’s also healed me and shown a lot of little dark-skinned girls with curly hair a physical manifestation of themselves.
Taraji on her career goals: “I want to play a superhero. I want to be a Bond girl. I want to play a man. I want to play a white woman.”
[From THR]
First of all, Taraji as a Bond Girl. Let that sink in. I could totally see that. Especially with Daniel Craig. She would WRECK James Bond. And it would be so enjoyable. As for Viola being Viola and being able to own every part of her life, her looks, her career, her mind… I am such a Viola fan-girl. I love her a crazy amount.
Maggie talking about not being considered “pretty” by casting directors… it goes right along with Maggie being told that she was “too old” at 37 to play the love interest of a 55-year-old. Stories like that make me want to burn the place down.
