The week in entertainment news: Tim Allen is more Grinch than Santa, and Flower Moon comes home

Tim Allen was “such a bitch” on set of The Santa Clauses, says Casey Wilson

“Tim Allen was such a bitch,” Casey Wilson boldly declares in a new episode of her podcast Bitch Sesh. The Happy Endings alum had “buried” the story of her experience on The Santa Clauses for over a year because one of the Disney+ show’s producers is “a great friend” of hers and because her kids “loved the movies.” But no more: “It was the truly single worst experience I’ve ever had with a co-star ever,” she says now (via Variety).

Killers Of The Flower Moon is now available to watch at home

If you were nervous about seeing a 206-minute epic with absolutely no intermissions in theaters, or you really wanted to experience Brendan Fraser and his “girth” from the comfort of your own home, today’s your lucky day. Fresh off nabbing both a Best Film win and a Best Actress win (for Lily Gladstone) from the New York Film Critic’s Circle Awards, Martin Scorsese’s Killers Of The Flower Moon is now available to rent and buy on demand.

Taylor Swift feels like she was canceled. Is that even true?

When it comes to cancel culture, it seems like there are two different worlds. There’s the real one, where everyday people live, in which words and actions have regular-sized consequences. Then there’s the celebrity world, apparently ruled by McCarthy-esque forces wielding pitchforks, eagerly waiting to ruin powerful peoples’ lives. Never mind that few people have actually materially had their lives “ruined” by a public backlash, and the few who arguably have (Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby) faced what could be categorized as justifiable legal consequences. Yet even celebrities of ostensibly upstanding character live in fear of cancelation—even the biggest stars in the world, like Taylor Swift. On Wednesday, she was named Time’s Person of the Year, despite having once been “canceled within an inch of my life and sanity,” as she puts it. Read More

Taylor Swift’s association with Jackson Mahomes is disappointing fans

Taylor Swift is in her WAG era. That’s “wives and girlfriends,” a term used in reference to the partners of athletes, and not one to which a Grammy-winning artist would typically be reduced. Yet Swift seems to be embracing the part, supporting her boyfriend Travis Kelce by rolling up to Kansas City Chiefs games flanked by fellow WAGs and coming up with cutesy secret handshakes to celebrate touchdowns. It’s all fun and games, depending on who else is in the suite. When that person is Jackson Mahomes, things get more complicated. Read More

Billie Eilish says Variety outed her: “i like boys and girls leave me alone about it”

Discussing a celebrity’s sexuality—especially a young celebrity still navigating that part of their identity, and especially on a public platform—is always a touchy subject, and Billie Eilish says Variety handled hers poorly. Read More

Neil Patrick Harris had never even heard of Doctor Who when he got cast

Only a handful of big-name American stars have appeared on Doctor Who (the less said about Chris Noth’s stint, the better). So Neil Patrick Harris being cast as the Toymaker in Who’s special 60th anniversary regeneration episode is kind of a big deal. Except Harris wouldn’t even have been aware what a big deal it was, because when it comes to Doctor Who, “He’d never heard of it in his life, bless him,” showrunner Russell T. Davies reveals in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly. Read More

Ryan Reynolds beats Deadpool leakers at their own game

It’s no wonder Ryan Reynolds is known for improvising much of his turn as Disney’s sweariest superhero, because the way he’s fighting back against leakers is taking a page right out of the Deadpool playbook. Read More

Margot Robbie refused to budge Barbie for Oppenheimer: “If you’re scared to be up against us, then you move”

At this stage of cinema history, there’s a general air of goodwill, of rising tides lifting all boats. If a big movie succeeds, it helps preserve theater-going culture for all. But that doesn’t mean there’s zero competitiveness (or pettiness) behind the scenes in Hollywood. Christopher Nolan “has this superstition around that date, the 21st,” Cillian Murphy says in Variety’s Actors on Actors interview with Margot Robbie. So it was perhaps a little suspicious that his old studio, Warner Bros., scheduled its own tentpole film Barbie against Nolan’s Oppenheimer on July 21. Read More

Adele doesn’t think anyone should cover her songs

This is, of course, a rather surprising take from Adele, who got considerable mileage out of her cover of Bob Dylan’s “Make You Feel My Love”

Nick Cannon wants Barack Obama on The Masked Singer

Cannon also says “All I Want For Christmas Is You” is the best Christmas song of all time
