Back in May, there were reports that Hollywood was freaking out over Britney Spears’ upcoming memoir, The Woman in Me. To the surprise of no one, the list of Hollywood people includes Justin Timberlake. He’s reportedly “concerned” about the memoir, which either goes “hard” on him, according to U.S. Weekly, or is “not a takedown,” according to the publisher. There’s only a week until the book’s release, but if JT does get raked over the coals, we’ll probably hear about it soon. (Page Six)
Chris Evans couldn’t talk about his movies at New York Comic-Con, so he talked about something most of you here will love even more: His dog. (Lainey Gossip)
Jada Pinkett Smith was surprised Will Smith called her “my wife” at the Oscars considering they’d been separated for six years. Dude was committed to the act, lady. You two came up with this weirdo arrangement. (Celebitchy)

Kayleigh wrote about the 50th anniversary of Don’t Look Now. (Inverse)
I feel like I’ve been hearing about live-action Gargoyles since the dawn of time, so maybe take this news with a huge grain of salt. Also, never forget a live-action movie was Jordan Peele’s dream project and some moron suit at Disney robbed us of that. (THR)
Speaking of moron suits, Matthew Vaughn says he quit X-Men: The Last Stand after learning about a shitty little scheme to trick Halle Berry. (Uproxx)
I don’t make it a point to read parenting articles, but for some odd reason, I gave this one a click and wanted to light my face on fire. Imagine having an existential crisis over how your 13-year-old dared to be seen at your gym because he… didn’t want to use your debit card without permission? (The Cut)
Chris and his pals at Why Did We Watch This just dropped their Halloween special in which they discuss and try to fix Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, a movie that bravely wonders what a Merchant Ivory horror flick would look like. Kenneth Branagh directs, stars, and finds every excuse to get his shirt off. (Apple)
Niles was supposed to be in the Frasier reboot, but by the looks of things, David Hyde Pierce saw that bullet coming and correctly dodged. (Vulture)
The art book for Netflix’s Nimona adaptation is free online. And if you enjoyed the movie, I cannot recommend the graphic novel enough. It is delightful, and I’m trying really hard not to be the “book is better” guy. — But it is. (The Mary Sue)
Finnyfinnfinn thought Katie Williams’ My Murder was interesting and thought-provoking. “This is not actually a murder mystery thrill ride, more an exploration on what it means to be brought back as a clone and all of the thoughts and struggles that go with it.” If it meant solving your own murder, would you be willing to come back as a clone?
