Just so you don’t get fooled by headlines that Harrison Ford is returning as Indiana Jones, the whole thing is for some Disney World animatronic dealie. Ford is involved with the project and made a video confirming as much for D23, but everyone can relax. We’re not doing The Dial of Destiny again. - (EW)
D23 also showed the first trailer for VisionQuest… which is not the wrestling movie with Matthew Modine and Jake Ryan from Sixteen Candles. - (AVC)
Speaking of Vision, WandaVision’s Elizabeth Olsen is a new mom. - (PEOPLE)
Dolly Parton’s doctor is keeping her close to home, and we’re keeping her in our thoughts! - (Variety)
I don’t really understand what the Savannah Bananas are/do, but I’ve enjoyed what I’ve seen so far. I think it’s basically a Harlem Globetrotters/Broadway/circus-lite for baseball, but I could be wrong? I do know that their games are only two hours long, and that makes me far more interested in attending a live game than in any major league baseball game! I once went to a Red Sox game while I was in Boston for work, and I swear it lasted 7 hours (give or take 2). And you never know who’s going to show up at one of those performances/games. She may not be a favorite around here anymore, but to the kids in attendance, Princess Anna of Arendelle was a pretty big deal! - (Deadline)
Cards Against Humanity (the game company) haaaaaates Elon Musk. Join them, won’t you? - (CAH)
Even Grok has turned against Musk and claimed Elon “watches child p*rn” and should be assa$$inated! - (Jezebel)
Oh, hey, so you probably saw that ICE is getting some snazzy new pain gloves. - (McSweeney’s)
Jean Smart and Ted Danson joined the Television Hall of Fame. Jean looked fabulous! Oh, and Jeff Hiller was there too! - (GFY)
Remember that Gal Gadot Imagine video during the pandemic? Kaia Gerber says she didn’t know she was in it or what it was until she watched it online. - (SocialiteLife)
Emmalita has been following Naina Kumar’s career since they met at a bookstore several years ago and is happy to say that Just a Highland Fling is her best book yet. “It’s a good road trip romance with forced proximity, sheep, daddy issues, and a hot Desi bagpiper/poetry professor. What I really loved though was the way Kumar handled big raw feelings and their fallout with delicacy.” What is your most anticipated upcoming book sequel? (Cannonball Read 18)
I couldn’t get a Bluesky link for a dog today (I don’t know. Bluesky was being weird.) So here’s Senator Jon Ossoff spouting some truths.
Finally some heat.
