Are you watching season 2 of Big Little Lies? I enjoyed the first season but didn’t need a second season. The premiere seemed forced (like the hokey nightmares sequences). That cast can sell those characters, absolutely, I just don’t know if the storyline will support the talent. (Why don’t any of t…

Here are some photos of Chris Hemsworth, Elsa Pataky and Tessa Thompson at last night’s New York premiere of Men In Black: International. Do you think this MIB reboot is going to be any good? I think it looks fun and silly, which is the goal, and I think it will probably be a decent-sized hit. We’ll see.

I honestly almost forgot to grab some photos of Chris and Elsa because I was so busy looking at Tessa’s dress from all of the angles. She wanted us to look at her dress from all the angles too, that’s why she made sure to pose in a million different ways. This silver gown is from Rodarte, and if it wasn’t a custom piece, then Rodarte just made a severely wacky dress that somehow was 100% perfect for this premiere. This Rodarte is in keeping with everything about MIB: silly, shiny, not serious. Tessa has been having a ball with her promotional fashion, and her stylist definitely deserves a raise. Why I think this dress is a trainwreck of fashion, I can’t hate on it at all. It’s totally perfect.

As for Chris and Elsa… yeah, they were there too.

I’m wary of anyone who jumps into a relationship two seconds after they file for divorce, but in Wendy Williams’ case, I really just wish she would give herself some time. Wendy is divorcing Kevin Hunter, her husband of 20 years, after long-standing rumors of his emotional and physical abuse, abuse which may have included violent assaults and possibly poisoning. Hunter also had a child with his mistress of 15 years. It’s a mess. And I think it would have been smart for Wendy to just take a break, find her footing as a single woman, make sure that she’s good and make sure that her son is good. But instead of that, Wendy immediately jumped into a relationship with a much younger man:

Wendy Williams‘ “very sexy” mystery man has been identified as 27-year-old convicted felon Marc Tomblin. According to his LinkedIn, Tomblin is a financial investor and blogger.

As for his criminal past, Tomblin — a North Carolina native — was convicted of robbery with a dangerous weapon and breaking and entering in 2013, according to court documents obtained by Bossip, which was first to identify the television star’s new love interest. He committed the crimes within days of each other. He later served fifteen months for the two convictions and was released in 2014, Bossip reported.

Tomblin’s run-in with the law comes as no surprise to Williams, who told TMZ she was already privy to his past.

“I am a 54-year-old grown ass woman. I know what I’m doing,” Williams told TMZ. The host and Tomblin are simply enjoying each other’s company and after what she has been through she deserves to have a little fun, she told TMZ.

“Look, my husband had a full baby with a woman he was involved with for 15 years… where I was cooped up only to be a show pony. Now, I’m living my life,” Williams said.

Her husband, Kevin Hunter, has not publicly confirmed he has fathered a child. Williams and Tomblin were spotted out together in New York City Tuesday enjoying some shopping.

I understand the whole “I’m a grown ass woman” thing. I really do. She must feel like she’s finally able to breathe now that she’s gotten that toxicity out of her life, and she’s feeling herself, etc. But it’s just mess after mess, right? Some women are like that, and I’m not saying Wendy’s to blame for anything, but there really are women who just need the melodrama and the mess. They thrive on it, it fulfills them, they don’t do easy, simple, undramatic relationships. In other words, Wendy just has a bad picker and instead of going into therapy and working on her sh-t, she’d rather jump into a romance with a much younger man with a criminal past.

This young man, in the photo below, is her son, not her boyfriend. You can see photos of Wendy’s new boyfriend here.

Shailene Woodley was on The Tonight Show to promote season two of Big Little Lies. I didn’t watch the first season but Kaiser did and we talked about it on the podcast this week. (That’s about at 23 minutes in, when we discussed Meryl Streep.) I enjoy watching Shailene’s interviews because she’s so wacky. She’s a hippie and she’ll tell you about it. The last time we covered her she admitted that she doesn’t floss. She tamped it down for this interview and mostly talked about the show, particularly since Fallon is a fan. He enthused so much about the set design and all the actors, particularly the kids and how talented the child actors are. I’m going to focus on what Shailene said since I’m not watching this yet, but Fallon convinced me to give it a try.

She loves playing games but hates cutthroat competition
I’m not really into Monopoly that takes forever. Those can be fun if you’re stuck in a cabin or something… it takes forever. I’m competitive but I don’t hold resentment. If somebody is being an a-hole while we’re playing a game, I walk away. People can get cold, really mean.

On the lessons from Big Little Lies
You understand their psychology and you go, ‘You know what? No matter how much money someone has, no matter what they own, no matter what their family looks like, we’re all broken, we’re all suffering, we’re all in desperate need of healing. We’re trying to do the best we can and it gets messy.’

[From The Tonight Show]

I’m like that about Monopoly, it takes too long and I usually get beaten anyway, either by my brother when we were growing up or my son now. As for what she said about how we’re all broken, that’s true to an extent of course, but there’s also something to be said for how insulated rich people are from the everyday problems of the poor and the working poor. We all have our issues and we’re not perfect, but people of means don’t have to worry about getting their basic needs met, and they don’t have to worry about choosing between medication or food. There are different types of suffering, and I’m not faulting Shailene for how she phrased it, I’m just trying to put it into perspective.

Here’s the part of Shailene’s interview I quoted above. The second part of her interview is here. She talks about Meryl Streep and how awesome she is to work with. Shailene also did a skit with Jimmy where she taught him how to scream like Meryl Streep.

Shailene’s Woodley’s stylist has said that Shailene “doesn’t care what people think about what she wears” and that is obvious. There’s some humor in this though.
