Zendaya loves Rue Bennett, and so should you. 

The Euphoria front-woman shared a touching note ahead of the season’s episode 5 climax, expected to be one of the most emotional in the season, in which viewers see Bennett struggle with opioid withdrawals and an intervention, reflecting America’s growing crisis among drug users.

The 25-year-old actor, who won a primetime Emmy award for her portrayal of Bennet in season 1, wrote on Instagram that her character “hits rock bottom,” in the show, but even more so in the second season. Despite this, Zendaya wrote that Rue is a character that should be loved and sympathized with—leading viewers to have a “greater understanding of the pain” that those struggling with addiction face, and that their “redemption is possible.”

“I care about her deeply. I also care about the people who care about her, because I think many of them share her story of addiction and sobriety, and many of them share a lot of emotional disorders, and I think it’s important that we continue to have that love for her,” the star shared on Instagram.

Zendaya, who has played beloved characters in the past with other projects, went on to add, “I think it’s important that we have characters that are flawed. And remember that we are not the worst mistake we’ve ever made.”

This isn’t the first time Zendaya has opened up about the emotional and mature journey she portrays as the high-school age Bennet, famously advising viewers about the potentially triggering subject matters discussed in a pre-premiere post, writing that she can still feel fans support even if they don’t chose to watch: “Take care of yourself and know that either way you are still loved.”

Disney has done it again: A Snow White live-action movie is coming to our screens. Here’s what we know so far about the film:

Rachel Zegler will play Snow White. The West Side Story actor shared the news to her personal Instagram account on June 22, writing “Well… hello to a dream come true. ?.”

The Amazing Spider-Man and 500 Days of Summer director Marc Webb will helm the project. “Rachel’s extraordinary vocal abilities are just the beginning of her gifts. Her strength, intelligence, and optimism will become an integral part of rediscovering the joy in this classic Disney fairytale,” he said in a statement about Zegler’s casting, per Deadline.

The West Side Story movie, directed by Steven Spielberg hits theaters December 10. It stars Zegler as Maria, Ansel Elgort as Tony, and Ariana DeBose as Anita. Spielberg told Vanity Fair about his adaptation, “This story is not only a product of its time, but that time has returned, and it’s returned with a kind of social fury. I really wanted to tell that Puerto Rican, Nuyorican experience of basically the migration to this country and the struggle to make a living, and to have children, and to battle against the obstacles of xenophobia and racial prejudice.” 

Disney execs were reportedly “blown away” by Zegler’s performance in the movie. 

The movie will include original music. Songwriting duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who worked on La La Land, The Greatest Showman, and Dear Evan Hansen, will write new music for the film. O.G. songs like “Heigh-Ho,” “Someday My Prince Will Come,” and “Whistle While You Work” will also appear in the film.

Production will begin in 2022. Disney has yet to announce a release date or whether it will premiere on Disney+ or in theaters. Or both! 

We’ll update this post with more details as they come in.

You don’t have to be a Marvel fan to know that the Loki premiere is the biggest thing happening on TV this week. The Disney+ series, now streaming, sees Tom Hiddleston reprising his role as the god of mischief (or rather, an alternate timeline version of himself)—but perhaps most exciting is the introduction of totally new characters to the MCU. 

Enter: Wunmi Mosaku as Hunter B-15, a high-ranking employee of the Time Variance Authority (TVA), a mysterious bureaucratic organization that Loki finds himself working for by the end of episode one. “I love her,” Mosaku says of the character. “She’s really fair and even-tempered, but also a bit of a badass.” 

But for Mosaku, the real thrill was getting to work with a cast that includes Hiddleston, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and Owen Wilson. “We had a great cast,” she tells me over the phone. “So lovely to work with everyone, and we had a lot of fun. It’s just a shame we didn’t really hang out after, because of Covid, but we had a joyful set.” 

Speaking of joyful things, Wunmi Mosaku took the time to share everything she’s loving at the moment. From her favorite kitchen tool to the cleanser that helps fight maskne, read on for another installment of Your Fave’s Faves.

My favorite thing(s) in my closet

I don’t like clothes shopping at all, so my approach is generally to shop online. If I have something in mind, like I know I want to wear a red dress, I will just literally search “red dresses” on Google [and buy that]. But I would say my favorite thing in my closet right now is this really cute Tanya Taylor jumpsuit. It’s hot pink, and I love it. It’s very flattering and has a little bit of flare and drama to it, but it’s also really comfortable.

I also love all of my Busayo dresses, because I love the fabric. It’s made very traditionally in Nigeria by hand, and it’s the fabric of my childhood. The Busayo dresses are modern and fashionable, but still what I knew growing up. They are the most structured, picturesque dresses. They’re dramatic and feminine, with a kind of edge to them.

The best thing in my kitchen

I got the Our Place Always Pan, and I absolutely love it. It’s so good, and it looks cute. I love cooking Nigerian food because it reminds me of home. I love to make crumpets too, because I miss eating them in the U.K. I like cooking things that make me feel like I’m home. 

My go-to beauty products 

I have been a victim of maskne in the past year. I’ve never really had a problem with my skin before, but now I have this whole routine. It begins with Cetaphil cleanser. It’s like medicine—you can get it at any drugstore—but it’s simple. It’s really been great because it is so gentle and my skin has become sensitive over the last year. I don’t know if it’s from stress of the pandemic or what, but I have to be really careful with my skin. After the Cetaphil, I use Neutrogena’s hyaluronic acid serum. And I love Lord Jones’ CBD lip balm. That is amazing. Ugh, it’s so good. It makes me happy every time I put it on. 

The TV show I’m loving

I’ve been watching Girlfriends with Tracee Ellis Ross. We didn’t have it in the U.K. growing up, so when it came on Netflix I was like, “I’ve heard so much about this as a classic.” Everyone talks about it, and I had never seen it. I just love it. If I had watched Girlfriends growing up instead of Sex and the City or Friends, I would have had a lot more of feeling like, “Oh! This life is attainable to me too.” We didn’t have anything like that when I was growing up in the U.K., so I am loving it.

The Bachelor franchise’s fun beachside iteration Bachelor in Paradise isn’t going anywhere, despite a recent controversy that culminated in Chris Harrison leaving his job. And while fans eagerly wait for their favorite messy summer show to return, here’s everything we know about what to expect.

Where is it being filmed?

The show went into production in Mexico the first week of June, per Variety.

Who is hosting?

Harrison only officially left his role in June but has been on leave for some time after mishandling a controversial racial incident from a contestant’s past. He reflected on his time with the franchise on Instagram, writing, “I’ve had a truly incredible run as host of The Bachelor franchise and now I’m excited to start a new chapter. I’m so grateful to Bachelor Nation for all of the memories we’ve made together. While my two-decade journey is wrapping up, the friendships I’ve made will last a lifetime.”

Now BiP will have a rotating series of guest hosts, led by Bachelor super-fan David Spade. Seriously, if you go over to his Instagram, he has a ton of saved Highlights of himself providing commentary on the show. Other hosts will include *NSYNC’s Lance Bass, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’s Tituss Burgess, and “Turn Down for What” rapper Lil Jon. This sounds like literally the most fun party of all time. (Fun facts: Lil Jon appeared on season 14 during one of Becca Kufrin’s one-on-one dates.) 

Who are the contestants?

We don’t know yet, but we do know a few familiar faces will be there: Wells Adams—a former Bachelorette contestant who became a fan-favorite and, eventually, the Bachelor in Paradise bartender—and his fiancée, Modern Family actor Sarah Hyland, will appear in some capacity during the season. Maybe as joint bartenders? How iconic. 

This post will be updated when more information is available.

I did not see this one coming. Kanye West, who’s in the process of divorcing Kim Kardashian, is reportedly seeing supermodel Irina Shayk. While Kardashian was posting a sweet tribute to him on Instagram for his birthday, West was in France with his new beau, according to witnesses. 

Per TMZ, Kanye West and Irina Shayk were spotted on June 8 walking together around a luxury boutique hotel, and they reportedly looked like an item. The outlet’s source claims the relationship is definitely romantic but not necessarily serious. The article also points out that Shayk has modeled in a Yeezy show and that she’s name-checked in his song “Christian Dior Denim Flow.” She even appeared in the music video for West’s 2020 song “Power,” staring down the camera.

(FWIW, this news has been circulating on a few gossip sites for a couple weeks now, and it’s already been added to Shayk’s Wikipedia. Which anyone can edit.)

If things do get serious, though, Shayk might want to watch the final season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians for some info on West’s recent breakup. In the latest episode, we see Kardashian cry and say, “[West] deserves someone that can go support his every move and go follow him all over the place and move to Wyoming. I can’t do that…. I feel like a fucking failure that it’s, like, a third fucking marriage. I feel like a fucking loser. But I can’t even think about that. I want to be happy.” News of their split first broke in early 2021. 

Shayk has no other marriages in her own past, but she was previously with soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo and then actor Bradley Cooper, with whom she shares a daughter.

Of course, we’ll keep you posted on this surprising (rumored) relationship. Check back for details.

No Jen-on-Jen rivalry here. As Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez continue to see more and more of each other, Affleck’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, is reportedly just fine with it. And according to sources, the feeling is mutual.

“J. Lo has Jennifer Garner’s seal of approval,” an insider tells Us Weekly, adding that the two actors have crossed paths over the course of their decades in Hollywood. “J. Lo thinks Jennifer is a kind and wonderful person and an amazing mother.” Well, yeah, duh, everyone feels that way about Jennifer Garner. She’s mom pals with Dr. Jill Freakin’ Biden, after all.

Garner was Affleck’s next major relationship after he and Lopez called off their engagement in the aughts; the two were married for 10 years and share three children. Lopez, meanwhile, wed and had children with Marc Anthony before they split. 

It seems Garner’s been chill about the rekindled relationship from the beginning. Back in May, when Affleck and Lopez’s reunion first looked like it was real, a source revealed to Entertainment Tonight that “Jen isn’t bothered by Ben hanging out with J.Lo or anyone else. She wants what is best for Ben.” This was in the wake of Affleck’s split from Ana de Armas and Lopez’s split from fiancé Alex Rodriguez. At the time, the source said, “What matters most to her is Ben being a great dad…. They’ve been in a good groove when it comes to coparenting for a while, and their kids’ happiness is Jen’s main priority.”

Around the same time, it was reported that Garner might be rekindling a romance of her own with boyfriend John Miller, CEO of restaurant chain Caliburger.

Good thing everyone’s allegedly getting along, because Lopez is reportedly looking at property and schools in Los Angeles so she can live closer to Affleck. Double date at Caliburger, anyone?

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s newborn daughter’s name has, naturally, been making headlines since it was revealed June 6. The couple recently announced the birth of their second child, Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, who was born on Friday, June 4. That name honors Queen Elizabeth II and the late Princess Diana: Lilibet is a family nickname for the queen, and Lili’s middle name is a tribute to Prince Harry’s mom, who passed away in 1997.

A recent BBC report alleged that the Sussexes didn’t consult the queen about their plan to name their daughter after her. This news came from a source within Buckingham Palace but was quickly disputed in a statement.

“The Duke spoke with his family in advance of the announcement, in fact his grandmother was the first family member he called,” a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex told People in a statement. “During that conversation, he shared their hope of naming their daughter Lilibet in her honor. Had she not been supportive, they would not have used the name.”

The news of Lili’s birth was released in a statement on June 6. “Lili was born on Friday, June 4, at 11:40 a.m. in the trusted care of the doctors and staff at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, CA,” that birth announcement read, per People. “She weighed 7 lb. 11 oz. Both mother and child are healthy and well, and settling in at home. Lili is named after her great-grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen, whose family nickname is Lilibet. Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honor her beloved late grandmother, The Princess of Wales.”

That statement concluded, “This is the second child for the couple, who also have a two-year-old son named Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. The Duke and Duchess thank you for your warm wishes and prayers as they enjoy this special time as a family.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shared their own statement as well on the Archewell website, writing, “On June 4th, we were blessed with the arrival of our daughter, Lili. She is more than we could have ever imagined, and we remain grateful for the love and prayers we’ve felt from across the globe. Thank you for your continued kindness and support during this very special time for our family.”

Congrats to the new family of four!

John Cho’s hair is resplendent—the approximate size and shape of a shareable banana split—in a promo for the upcoming live-action Netflix adaptation of the beloved anime Cowboy Bebop. The 48-year-old actor debuts hair that is thick, cushion-y, voluminous. These are the kind of touchable curls that would intimidate first season Grey’s Anatomy-era Patrick Dempsey. 

This is not the kind of hair the internet lets go by. Cho’s name trended on Twitter on Tuesday afternoon (June 8), with thousands of the greatest minds of our day chiming in with searing commentary like, “Look at John Cho’s hair,” and “Ah! John Cho’s hair!” Mindy Kaling, who knows from good hair, called Cho’s tresses “lustrous.” 

Cho will play badboy protagonist Spike Spiegel in the live-action adaptation of the late-’90s Japanese TV show, alongside Mustafa Shakir and Daniella Pineda. According to the Wiki for the original anime show, Spiegel is a 27-year-old. Some fans have taken issue with Cho’s casting, given that the actor is 48. To that I say: No need to harp on accuracy for a sci-fi crime noir story set in the year 2071! Also, we don’t complain about a John Cho casting. We just say “Thank you.” 

According to the Cowboy Bebop fandom Wiki, Spike Spiegel’s hair and general vibe in the anime were inspired by Bob Dylan and Yusaku Matsuda, a Japanese actor. Let’s just say John Cho looks like if a young Bob Dylan had been into product and had been handy with a diffuser. We are talking zero frizz and Texas cheerleader volume. This is the hair Harry Potter wanted but could never pin down. 

There’s no official premiere date or trailer for Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop, though the streaming giant tweeted on June 8 that the show will land on Netflix in the fall. Fans are thrilled the new series will be scored by Yoko Kanno, the composer whose music shines in the original show.

Yes, John Cho is going to play a crime-fighting bounty hunter named “Spike” in a sci-fi western on Netflix. Yes, his hair will look better than yours. Yes, this is enough, on a sultry summer afternoon, to generate news. 

It is John Cho’s hair’s world, and we are just lucky to be living in it.

The fifth and final season of Freeform’s hit series The Bold Type premieres Wednesday, May 26, and it’s been a highly entertaining ride. Centered on three young women trying to make it in the fashion and media industries—Jane (Katie Stevens), Sutton (Meghann Fahy), and Kat (Aisha Dee)—the show is tailor-made for Gossip Girl and Devil Wears Prada fans. It’s chock-full of style, soapy drama, and sexy people—in other words, all the makings of a hit show. No wonder it’s lasted for so long. 

Even still, Stevens is blown away by the show’s popularity. “When you get to five seasons, that in itself is so special,” she tells me over the phone in early May. “Not many shows get five seasons. The bond that we’ve created—not only among myself, Meghann, and Aisha—but our crew and the writers and everybody who works on the show, is just the best. They’re some of the best people I’ve ever met. I think we caught lightning in a bottle in terms of the connection we all formed.” 

Fans have formed connections with the characters, as well, particularly Jane, Sutton, and Kat. Stevens tells me she thinks viewers will be satisfied with where the show leaves these women, both professionally and personally. “At the end of the day, I think everybody’s going to be happy,” she says. “I’m really happy with where the girls end up. I think they end up exactly where they should be.” 

Wherever Jane ends up, though, she’ll be without two pairs of her favorite shoes. That’s because Stevens nabbed them from the Bold Type closet—which, relatable. She revealed this during Glamour‘s latest installment of Your Fave’s Faves. Read on, below, to find out which ones, plus Stevens’s favorite swimsuits, sweatpants, and the snacks she’s buying when she goes back to movie theaters.

The last thing I bought 

I bought six bathing suits because I’m going to Mexico. They’re from Somerfield Swim and also from Emily Ratajkowski’s line, Inamorata. One of my new favorite bikinis is from there. It’s ruched in the chest and has these little skimpy bottoms because I gotta get my tan on. 

My favorite pair of shoes right now 

I’m normally in sneakers if I’m not going anywhere, but I did get a bunch of shoes from Jane’s closet in The Bold Type. I have two favorite pairs: Christian Louboutin black combat boots that have a little heel, and a cute Valentino pump. I’m just looking for somewhere to wear them now. I’ll wear them around the house if I have to! 

The sweatpants I’ve lived in these past few months 

I have five drawers of sweatpants! I have a pair of pastel tie-dye sweats from Max Roux. They’re super comfortable. Also, these Tribe Kelley Butter Sweats. They’re the softest, most comfortable sweats I’ve ever put on my body. 

My go-to pair of jeans

They’re called the Ex-Boyfriend Jeans from Denim Forum. Those are great because they’re tight where they’re supposed to be but loose where they’re supposed to be. I have two pairs: one with holes and one without. 

My favorite product in my self-care routine 

I actually got one of those things—it looks like a sleeping bag, but it’s an infrared sauna blanket-bed. You open it up, and you have to get in it with socks, long pants, a long shirt, and you set a timer. I literally just lay in there and sweat. The feeling you get from sweating for 40 minutes—you watch Netflix, the time passes—is euphoric. I work out too, but there’s something very spa-like about having this thing in my house. I got it from this place called HigherDOSE. 

The fragrance that makes me feel amazing

Miss Dior, which is classic, but there’s also a roll-on fragrance from Nest called Indigo. It’s so lovely. 

The beauty product that completes my going-out look

The quicker I can do my makeup and look good, the better. I started using Nudestix products, and I love them because the foundation is very lightweight. Then you have these cream blushes and cream contours, and they don’t leave you looking super shiny. So sometimes, I’ll just do that and allow the healthy glow to shine through. I’ve also been using Coco & Eve’s self-tanner. You put it on, it develops over two hours, and you can wash it off to have a healthy glow. It’s the only self-tanner I’ve ever used that’s not orange and doesn’t come off splotchy. 

The TV shows I’m currently obsessed with 

I’m late in the game, but I just started watching The Flight Attendant. I’m obsessed! It’s so good. I’m always into those thought-provoking, thriller-y kind of shows; The Flight Attendant is that, plus there’s a comedic aspect. Kaley Cuoco is amazing in it. 

The snacks I’m getting when I go to a movie theater again

First of all, my own individual popcorn because I will not be sharing my first time back. I’ve gone through so many movie candy phases. I used to get Milk Duds because that was my dad’s thing, then that changed to Cookie Dough Bites. Also, if you’re at a place that has Dibs ice cream bites, that’s a game-changer. And then you have to get a Diet Coke! But the problem is my snacks go fast. I feel like I’m already done with my candy by minute five of the movie.
