But a few talking points have already leaked out, and she’ll talk about what exactly it is she does in the White House, but clarifies, “I don’t view it as my obligation to moderate.” Odd timing, considering that President Trump has recently decided that maybe we will stay in the Paris Agreement, maybe Dreamers won’t be kicked out, and maybe there won’t be a physical wall (big emphasis here on “maybe”). You’d think Ivanka Trump’s PR operation would want to push the idea that she influenced these mildly moderating decisions. Odd. Though it’s not as if the Trump administration, on the whole, has gotten any less incompetent. There’s the news that an Obamacare repeal effort is back, and let’s not forget that bombastic speech at the United Nations on Tuesday, when Trump kept talking up the possibility of war with North Korea...a speech that Ivanka took to Instagram to wholeheartedly endorse. (Hey, at least President Trump didn’t attack the very idea of the U.N. altogether, like so many conservatives wished he would have. (Ivanka’s moderating influence at work? Oh, right, she doesn’t do that). In other Trump news, Melania really, really seems to have taken to designer Raf Simons’s first collection for Calvin Klein, despite the fact that the Belgian-born designer has talked about how it was influenced, in part, by how odd it was to finally move to America only to see Trump get elected a few months in. Also, Chrissy Teigen roasted Ivanka on Twitter, yet again. | | | | | | A-List Actors Who Haven’t Done Television | Hulu mainstreamed streaming services by offering all your favorite network shows online the day after they aired, but the service went into sort of a weird identity crisis when Netflix and Amazon proved the way forward was with original shows. On Sunday, however, Hulu pulled the ultimate come-from-behind victory when The Handmaid’s Tale became the first streaming show to win the Emmy for Best Drama Series. Now Hulu is making its first post-Emmys flex, and it’s a big one. Double Oscar winner Sean Penn will star in a show for the service, created by House of Cards’s Beau Willimon, about the first manned trip to Mars. To say it’s an ambitious series is an understatement. Hulu is literally sending Penn to Mars. It’s also got a massive Stephen King series in the works that will include characters from his most famous books, and Sissy Spacek (Carrie) and Bill Skårsgard (in one of his first post-It roles) are onboard. Queen of Shadows sounds like a YA repose to Game of Thrones: about a teenage assassin in a tyrannical fantasy kingdom (move over Arya Stark). Hulu is also getting into the superhero game with multiple comic-book adaptations, including Marvel's Runaways. It’s also going back to its network-show streaming roots by pulling the ultimate coup: Will & Grace, one of the most beloved sitcoms not to have a streaming home, is now coming to the service. As Ann Dowd would say, “They’re very lovely, Hulu.” | | | | | | Female Action Stars Over 50 | | | | | Male actors continue to play some of their most iconic parts well into their twilight years, even in action films. Harrison Ford has revisited his roles in Indiana Jones, Star Wars, and Blade Runner in recent years. So why is this not the case for women? Unfortunately, we all know the myriad answers to that, but thankfully Hollywood is about to correct the problem. Original Terminator star Linda Hamilton is set to return as the iconic Sarah Connor in a new film with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Pair this with the fact that Jamie Lee Curtis is returning to the Halloween franchise and that Sean Young may have filmed some secret scenes for Blade Runner 2049, and it’s a good sign that action, sci-fi, and horror movies suddenly have room for female characters over the age of 50, as well as for the actresses who helped make those franchises iconic in the first place. (Sigourney Weaver, of course, continues to flex her muscles in the genre.) We suspect some credit is due to Carrie Fisher’s return as Princess Leia in the latest Star Wars flicks. Certainly, Terminator producer James Cameron (Hamilton’s ex-husband, incidentally) knows what bringing Hamilton back means. “There are 50-year-old, 60-year-old guys out there killing bad guys, but there isn’t an example of that for women,” he said while announcing the film. Now, that’s going to change. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fresh-faced, pouty-lipped model Emily Unkels opened Wednesday's Gucci show looking like an overworked executive assistant from the ’80s.
