“Idris Elba joins Taylor Swift in the film adaptation of Cats” is a sentence I never thought I would write. Crazy world. [Jezebel]
Jon Hamm doesn’t want to talk about the Hammaconda. [Dlisted]
This Bryan Singer story is so depressing. [LaineyGossip]
Britney Spears thanked Selena Gomez. [Perez Hilton]
Keira Knightley gets mistaken for Kate Winslet, which is insane. [JustJared]
Dakota Johnson is on the “giant blazer” trend too. [Go Fug Yourself]
I don’t even know where to start with this Saudi Arabia story, so this is good. [Pajiba]
Rihanna gave a Fenty Makeup tutorial. [OMG Blog]
Countess LuAnn has been sober for 90 days, mazel tov. [Reality Tea]
Idris? In a…………….musical?
Not a fan of musicals, but I will make an exception.
He actually started in music, didn’t he? DJing, I think, and he’s released music before. So not that much of a stretch.
Swift on the other hand…
Because it’s Idris, I really wish I liked musicals. But I don’t simply dislike them; I abhor them. They give me physical symptoms lol.
Musical sure……but Cats?!?
Although every time I want to laugh or cringe I remember just how insanely successful this awful musical was. To each their own I guess. 🤷♀️
Cats is THE WORST! 😉
My first reaction, too–but he is my eternal boo and I will go see anything with him in it, even (gulp) “Cats”! In my entire life, I have never been such a crazy fangirl as I am for Idris. He’s amazing in Luther on Netflix, btw.
When Mr. Lahdidah asked me what I like so much about Idris (um, seriously, anyone would actually need to ask that?), I accidentally said that I thought Idris and I would look really good together. Oy. Lucky Mr. L. isn’t the jealous type. He just chuckled.
“What!” I asked.
“Nothin,” he said, “you WOULD look good together…like THAT’S ever gonna happen.”
Mr. Lahdidah is a pragmatist, so he doesn’t get jealous over fantasies.
Stories like this make me really miss Sixer.
There were a few months I didn’t get on much and then when I started coming back daily I noticed her gone. Anyone know anything about it?
I miss her, too, and I always still look for her posts, especially on Brit topics. Is she okay, Lightpurple?
I’m glad someone else asked this! I’m a long-time quiet reader/rare poster, and I’d wondered where Sixer had gone after I’d taken a bit of an internet hiatus, came back, and saw that she wasn’t posting anymore. I hope that she and her family are well. I always enjoyed her posts (and those of other regular commenters, too).
Hello people. That’s funny, I’ve also been thinking of Sixer. She seemed to be quite active with community and politics. I’ve wondered how it’s been on the ground over there with Brexit and all the ugly fallout. We in the US are obviously going through a lot, and so much has changed so fast. It’s hard to know exactly how things are with our friends and “allies” with the far Right encroaching into governments across EU and else where too. Hang in there friends and stay safe.
this musical adaptation seems approximately 30 years too late?? will people go to see it?
Also none of the people so far are dancers either. Like……what…
According to IMDB, he’s Macavity and Ian Mckellan is Gus, which is just perfect.
That Cats movie is gathering up an intriguing cast. Too bad it’s such a bad musical.
Re: Bryan Singer
Whose rights are ignored even more than women’s?
The LGBTQ community
Bryan Singer must have some very powerful people protecting him or implicated in some way. Can’t understand why he has not been taken down yet.
Because he gave all of the parties………he knows all dirt and who buried it. Kevin Spacey was a GUEST at the parties……..so yea. He’s not going down unless someone big enough starts talking.
Where did Sixer go?
Would also love to know this! I always enjoyed Sixer’s comments and looked forward to them. Hope all is well in the Sixer household
Hideous musical, and the ending is so obvious. When I so it, I was so disappointed. I don’t see how any cast can save such a bad musical.
I saw the musical and made eye contact with a cat/dude that came out into the crowd and I’ve never felt such second-hand embarrassment in all my life!!!
