HOLLYWOOD HEADLINES

Dua Lipa is tonight’s guest host for Jimmy Kimmel Live with a performance by Gwen Stefani. She appears on a remix of “Physical” produced by Mark Ronson. The tune arrives next week.

Whatever happened to Lorde? She has now gone for exactly 1000 days without a single post on social media. She’s ghosted us.

Taylor Swift easily has the biggest selling album of the year. It remains at the top of the Billboard chart. Folklore sold 1 million copies faster than anyone else in 2020.

Available starting tomorrow is the unauthorized biography of Meghan Markle marrying Prince Harry and seducing him away from the Royal Family. The book is called Finding Freedom.

Podcaster Joe Rogan highlighted how social media filters create body image issues. His pre-teen daughter took an ugly picture of 53-year-old Joe and photo-shopped it to make him appear to be a gorgeous 20-year-old woman. He jokingly called the filter “satanic” because it “distorts young women’s expectations of beauty and robs them of their happiness.”

If you wanna know how fucked we are and how bizarre filters are and how distorted young women’s expectations of beauty are, I present you this picture. This IS ME. My 10 year old daughter is laughing hysterically because she took a picture of my ugly chimp face making kissy lips and ran it through some satanic filter designed to steal women’s self esteem through pure deception and fuckery, and this is the result. Protect yourself, my friends. The internet is trying to rob you of your happiness.

Presidential hopeful Joe Biden is expected to name this week his running mate, which he said would be a woman. The Los Angeles Times compared the selection to ABC’s The Bachelor where an old man chooses a younger woman for the ultimate fantasy suite – the White House. Many called the editorial “blatantly sexist” and degrading to career public servants. (The Wrap)
