It was an end of a tradition - no annual Mindy Kaling / B.J. Novak Mark Seliger Vanity Fair picture!
I need awards season closure.
But one tradition that stuck around was the unoffical Black excellence gathering.
You can tell who got there early: Rashida Jones, Jeremy O. Harris, Trevor Noah, John Legend, Nnamdi Asomugha, Shonda Rhimes, Franklin Leonard, Bethan Hardison, Donald Glover, Quinta Brunson and Kerry Washington.
Kenya Barris, Jeffrey Wright, Bethan Hardison, Ava DuVernay, Cynthia Erivo, Danai Gurira, Aldis Hodge, Lizzo (with boyfriend Mike Wright), Kerry Washington, Lena Waithe, Busta Rhymes, Anderson Paak, Jodie Turner Smith, Shonda Rhimes, Usher, Tracee Ellis Ross, Issa Rae, Ice Spice, Chloe & Halle Bailey, Babyface all the way on the side with Jeremy Pope beside him, Shameik Moore, Michelle Buteau, I see Laverne Cox, Tiffany Haddish, Michaela Jae Rodriguez, Leticia Wright, Trevor Noah all the way in the back with Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade.
Seeing as Busta was there, I wonder if Trevor rapped for him again.
Too bad the lighting wasn't better.
2023's
-While not at the Vanity Fair affair- instead seen at pre-Oscar party was Teyana Taylor of A THOUSAND AND ONE (which she was incredible in).
Teyana was seen talking to her costar of the untitled Paul Thomas Anderson film which is slated for an August 2025 release, Leonardo DiCaprio.
which - of course - has started rumours that they're involved.
olá cib, vc pode descrever a bethan wright por favor?
Posso sim nony!
Bethan Wright: Cabelos negros, muito longos e ondulados, com aparência pesada. Pele morena, olhos grandes e profundos e cor de chocolate. Nariz fino e alongado, lábios cheios e carnudos, estatura mediana. Uma mulher muito engraçada, muitas vezes graças ao seu sarcasmo, criativa, está sempre inventando coisas novas e inteligente. Pode ser bastante paranoica com algumas coisas e irritadiça.
DON’T MIND ME CRYING BECAUSE I’M 99,9% SURE WE FIRST SAW BENIELLE KISS AT THE EXACT SAME LOCATION WHERE BEN SANG IT’S ALWAYS BEEN YOU AFTER HE GOT OUT OF THE CAVE AFTER HE GOT STUCK IN WITH DANIELLE
I mean...
OKAY so the boathouse (is that was Josh calls it??) is now property of Benielle and Ben sang It’s Always Been You about Danielle. I’m sorry, I don’t make the rules 🤷🏻♀️
So Bethan basically confirmed Danielle has feelings for Ben, then said something about Danielle being confused. She also said there’s always been love/hate between them, and then she started saying different endings were filmed. I just hope however the season ends, that Danielle is happy.
If ANYONE knows ANYWHERE I could watch Season 2 of The Lodge (past episode 2) I would really appreciate, because I’ve been looking for hours and I can’t find anything. I’m even prepared to pay but it’s not on iTunes or the Disney Channel app or anything. Literally dying over here, I need to see more 👍🏼
How exciting! Kimberley will be playing a music manager called Rebecca in the second series of The Lodge, which starts on Disney Channel and DisneyLife on 9 June at 5.30pm. Kimberley told The Sun - “I guess I share some similarities with Rebecca . . . because obviously I grew up in the music business and she’s a music manager. But I will draw on some other managers I’ve met along to way to find some personality traits for Rebecca because she has got a bit of an edge, and I don’t think I’d ever be quite that mean.” 😁 Can’t wait!
