Minority Mindset

Let me tell you, Natalie Portman’s character, Polina, is intense. I mean, she completely loses it when she finds out her assistant put traffic cones around a tiny puddle from a leaky AC unit – on the day of a huge art show, no less! Her gallery is…let’s just say struggling. She built it on the site of an old Jiffy Lube using divorce money from her ex – a canned fish tycoon, by the way – and this current exhibition is basically its last hope. Polina is desperate to keep up appearances, to pretend everything is fine. You get the sense she started because she genuinely loved art, but now it’s all about maintaining a facade and just surviving.

The drama surrounding Tom Sandoval’s affair with Raquel Leviss became incredibly clear during the tenth season of Vanderpump Rules, thrusting the show into the national conversation. While the aftermath – dubbed “Scandoval” – had the potential to be compelling TV, season eleven quickly fell apart. Viewers were forced to watch a weak attempt at Sandoval redeeming himself, while Ariana Madix was unfairly criticized by her castmates for not wanting to film with him. Her decision to distance herself – symbolized by literally drawing a line in the sand during a beach outing – was a natural response to Sandoval’s betrayal. However, it clashed with what had always made Vanderpump Rules successful: not just creating conflict, but also showing how it could be resolved. In reality, these individuals likely wouldn’t have continued speaking after the show’s explosive second season, but their increasing salaries motivated them to keep working together.

In March 2021, federal agents publicly searched for Jen Shah, believing she was traveling with her castmates on a trip. However, Shah received a warning call from her husband, Sharrieff, just before the agents arrived and quickly returned home, confusing her co-stars. She was arrested that same day and accused of being involved in a large-scale telemarketing scam.

The movie already has a huge cast, but that’s not surprising – it’s Avengers: Doomsday, a big sequel building on thirty previous films! Expect a lot of characters, and likely some unexpected returns of beloved Marvel heroes who haven’t been officially announced. That’s typical for a Marvel Cinematic Universe film.

According to TMZ, Sydney Sweeney and her team recently filmed a promotional video for her new lingerie line – with financial backing from Jeff Bezos – near the Hollywood sign. The video shows them covering the iconic landmark with bras from her brand. However, TMZ reports that Sweeney’s team didn’t get permission to climb or touch the sign, which could lead to legal trouble. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce confirmed to the outlet that no permission was granted for the stunt. You can see the video for yourself below.

From the beginning, Taylor Swift has seemingly wanted nothing to do with Blake Lively’s sexual harassment lawsuit against her It Ends with Us director/co-star, with a rep issuing a statement on her behalf that denied any attachment to the movie outside of licensing the song “My Tears Ricochet” for use in the film. That sentiment was echoed by a source for ET, who said of Swift:

Becoming a father has given me a huge boost of energy,” Pattinson recently told GQ. He explained that he felt a sudden, overwhelming need to be productive. “It’s like, I need to build something amazing! I don’t know why, but I have this incredible drive to work harder than ever before.”

The director of classics like Evil Dead II, the original Spider-Man trilogy, and Drag Me to Hell truly showcases his signature style in this thrilling survival story. Expect a wildly dynamic camera – sometimes even from the point of view of a boar! – shockingly close-up shots, and an abundance of vividly colored fluids liberally applied to the actors. No other director could so effortlessly make you laugh hysterically and feel utterly repulsed at the same time, and Raimi achieves this balance with remarkable consistency and skill.
