The team behind Hacks gave us a sneak peek, but honestly? I don’t need it. This show already has my full attention—whenever they’re ready, I’m here for it.
Meanwhile, the “what if?” speculation around the other Bennifer (Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner) is picking up steam, and the ripple effects are getting messy. Lainey has been tracking the increased attention, and now tabloids are pushing boundaries. Case in point: A recent set of paparazzi shots featuring Jennifer Garner’s boyfriend, John Miller, and his ex-wife, likely just doing a kid drop-off. Neither of them are famous, yet here they are, caught in the media frenzy—just because Ben touched Jen’s waist? It’s easy to see how this could be irritating at best, and downright invasive at worst. Garner didn’t ask for this, Affleck didn’t ask for this, but this is their reality. And this kind of pressure? It can wreck a relationship.
On the TV front, Landman just scored a second season—no shocker there. But with Demi Moore’s packed schedule, things might get tricky. Her role is set to expand, but an Oscar campaign is no small commitment. I like her, I like Billy Bob Thornton, I like Jon Hamm—but let’s be real: The only way to watch a Taylor Sheridan show is as a comedy.
Now, onto fashion. Blake Lively’s latest outfit? Not her best. The styling (which, by the way, she does herself) felt too stiff—too much fabric, too little movement. And speaking of Blake, something’s off with her new beauty brand. Notably, Blake Brown Beauty isn’t using any of her signature hair in its promotions. That’s odd. Celebrity brands thrive on these easy marketing wins, yet her social media campaign feels sluggish. Behind the scenes, they’re likely scrambling to pivot.
On the business side, Ryan Reynolds and his team have bought back Maximum Effort’s marketing division from MNTN, fueling speculation that the advertising platform is looking to clean up its books ahead of an IPO. The official word? This was always part of the plan. But of course, given the current obsession with Ryan and Blake, the internet is running wild with theories. Because apparently, nothing can ever just be business as usual.
