EVENING NIGHTCAP: Jenna Is The New Heigl? Lindsay + Old Navy = WTF. Brad Holding A Fart?

 

 

► Jenna Ortega seems to have enrolled in the online course of Katherine Heigl School of Ungratefulness. During an interview with Harper's Bazaar, Jenna decided to take a page out of the Heigl's book of how to derail your career by sharing some eyebrow raising comments. Jenna probably thought she had free reign to say whatever she wants since she became an executive producer for the second season of the Netflix show, Wednesday. She blabbed about how her meteoric rise to fame playing the character Wednesday Adams has brought her nothing but grief. She whined about fame. Then, ranted that playing Wednesday Adams, "has kept her from growing into more mature characters" and that dressing in a schoolgirl costume is "patronizing". She further went on to say: Read More

“I’m doing a show I’m going to be doing for years where I play a schoolgirl,” she said. “But I’m also a young woman. You just don’t feel like you’re being taken seriously. You know, it’s like how you’re dressed in the schoolgirl costume,” she added, pointing to the way public perception often boxes women into certain roles.

Um, someone needs to remind Jenna that Wednesday Adams is supposed to be a school girl and dressed in a school uniform. Didn't she read the script?  Who did she think Wednesday Adams was?A 35 yr old goth investment banker? A middle-aged real estate agent? Has Jenna ever watched the original Adams Family show? As expected, SM didn't take kindly of Jenna biting the hand that is feeding her:

“Cry me a river,” one user snapped.

 “So sick of people complaining about easy jobs they made millions on.”

One critic added, “I bet the huge 6 and 7 figure paychecks she took for the role weren’t that patronizing though, while another chimed in, “Right? She still cashed those checks.”

Comment: I'd like to ask Jenna if  the 2024 movie, Miller's Girl, was the mature role she's craving to do more of. In that movie, she portrays a student who seduces her old geezer professor. The movie had several erotic, risque scenes between her and actor Martin Freeman (53) that made critics blush. Anyway, Jenna's comments about the show, Wednesday, isn't the first time she's been blasted for being ungrateful. Back in 2023, she was called out for taking it upon herself to make script changes she felt didn't suit her. A Daredevil writer referred to her as "beyond entitled and toxic". Oof. 

 

► Old Navy rolled out its new ad campaign for its active wear / exercise frocks featuring Lindsay Lohan. Yes, that's right. Our Lady of Grifting, the Apricot Ashtray, Self-Proclaimed Drunken Savior of Children is now faux peddling a healthy lifestyle. This makes as much sense as hiring MAGA fraudsters and tax cheats The Chrisley's as spokeshos for Quicken. The commercial is a throwback to the 1980s aerobics craze featuring what must be Lohan's body double wearing an outfit that resembles Bay Watch for Soul Cycle. Come on, we know it ain't the real Lohan exercising to Devo's "Whip It" song. I had to watch the commercial a couple of times because it was filmed so fast, it made me dizzy. Everyone was on warp speed, like a 5 year old who guzzled their parent's Red Bull with a shot of 5 Hour Energy.  I did see that Charo is in it. Why, Charo, why? You're better than this. The video is below. BONUS DLISTED THROWBACK: vintage Lohan commercial from 16 years ago for Fiorina. Now that's how low budget tacky is done. Read More

Comment:  There's no way that's Lindsay doing those exercises and gymnastic moves. IMO, the only exercise  she's capable of doing is walking to the ATM or the courthouse.  

► The latest edition of GQ Magazine features a mucho mangy Brad Pitt posing like he's holding a wet fart. Or maybe he's getting ready to squat and drop a toilet missile. The GQ interview is to promote his upcoming pet project, F1 movie. Brad has a history of emulating whoever he's dating. Based on this outfit, he must have googly eyes for the leather bar cruisin' version of the Gordon Fisherman who's into Ernest Hemingway audio books.  Read More

Comment: Look at the stale loaf Bread Pitt (typo stays) trying to be all gangsta and clever. He combined his 2 most famous movie characters, A River Runs Through It meets Fight Club into a pathetic photo shoot. It had me laughing my ass off. This dude is so desperate to be seen as the next Steve McQueen that it shatters the cringe-o-meter.
