EVENING NIGHTCAP: Devil Wears Prada 2 Casting. Nuclear Wintour & Silicon Sophia.

 

► Filming has begun on the sequel to the 2006 movie, The Devil Wears Prada (DWP). The original cast is coming back including AnnE Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci, and Emily Blunt. Joining them will be Kenneth Brannagh as Miranda's latest husband. It's interesting that filming began the week Anna Wintour announced her retirement after 37 years as the devil-in-chief of Vogue US. DWP is loosely based on her. IMO, Nuclear Wintour single-handedly turned Vogue into a laughing stock by opting to feature trash and privileged celebs on the covers instead of models. Case in point: cover of Kim Kardtrashkan with Kanye; Walmart Wallis, Goopy (9 covers), Nicole Kidman (8 covers); and the recent cover of Silicon Sophia (Govt Name: Lauren Sanchez) to coincide with her tacky ass wedding. Plus, Anna turned the Met Gala from a classy fundraiser for the Met Museum into a parade of low class influencers and entitled celebs. 

Details of the movie plot are leaking like an overworked bladder. DWP 2 will focus on how Miranda maneuvers her career and the decline of the magazine due to readership going down the drain. She faces off with Emily Blunt's character who's the HBIC of a luxury group with ad money to waste that Miranda needs to save the magazine and her ass. AnnE is annoying along the way - as usual. The movie is scheduled for May 1, 2026 opening.  Read More

Comment: I hate myself for having watched DWP. I caught it while channel surfing on Roku. Or was it Pluto. Maybe it was Netflix? Who gives a shit. The best part of it was Meryl Streep. I could watch her on loop as she throws icy looks and tongue lashes everyone around her. If I could write the script for DWP 2: have Joan Collins appear in her Dynasty character: Alexis Carrington Colby.  She owns a rival magazine and the 2 of them go at it. YES! Ultimate bitchfest.

 

 

► Speaking of Anna Wintour, revelations about her and Silicon Sophia Loren (Govt Name: Lauren Sanchez) and their "relationship" are being shared by Vogue insiders and by Amy Odell, biographer for Anna Wintour.  Last year, Silicon Sophia/Dirty Sanchez made her Met Gala debut - but not without issues. The story goes that Anna is fully aware Lauren has no sense of style. Anna said, "she has poor taste". Well duh, everyone knows that. Lauren's fashion style falls somewhere between truck stop hooker and pole dancer.  Because of this, Anna had to approve in advance what she wore, if she wanted to attend. This is not typical for Anna. According to Amy Odell and Vogue insiders: Read More

"Anna doesn't always get personally involved in what guests wear," wrote Odell, adding that she was working with Sanchez to choose between custom designs by the classically stylish Oscar de la Renta and two other unnamed designers. Given that this is a bash to which actor Jared Leto came dressed as fashion designer Karl Lagerfield's cat in 2023 and to which even Sanchez's reality TV star friend Kim Kardashian has already been an attendee with no such reported caveat, it amounts to a resounding declaration of no confidence."

Comment: Damn, that's the level of bitchiness the gossip sphere needs these days.  If Anna was okay with Leto wearing a cat suit but had to approve DS outfit, that tells you something about Nuclear Wintour's disdain for Silicon Sophia. In a final note and subtle f-off  to Lauren as Anna retires from Vogue, she was invited to the wedding but declined. Ooof. Now that leaves the obvious question: why the hell feature Silicon Sophia on the cover of Vogue wearing her wedding frock? My theory: Bezos made an anonymous ginormous donation to the Met Museum. Or to Anna's retirement fund. Take your pick.
