Would Chrissy Teigen benefit from quitting social media?

Chrissy Teigen has quit drinking again. She quit Twitter 5 years ago and has stuck to it and I wonder if she’s ever considered the same with all social media, or even just paring it down to a business and brand account. The push-pull of sharing and then reading the comments and being reactive is what we expect from her now.

She’s a celebrity who posts like a run-of-the-mill influencer and at some point, it became off-putting. She has fans and I have no idea how her product lines do, but her reputation has never really bounced back from its low point.

Sometimes there is yin/yang to gossip, in a way that can’t be planned. When Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde broke up, he escaped relatively unscathed and she had a whole bunch of divorce drama (on top of dealing with Harry’s fandom). A few years on, Olivia is having an exciting resurgence and Harry is getting whacked for his ticket prices. Here’s Zayn in Vegas, talking about ticket prices. We forget but Zayn used to be chaotic on Twitter.

“Who’s from Vegas? Who’s from elsewhere? I just want to say a big big thank you for being here with me tonight….hopefully the ticket prices weren’t too high- just saying, anyway!” – Zayn speaking to fans tonight in Vegas 😭

Last night I was watching a movie on AMC like a Boomer (full commercial breaks) and it was Man on Fire with Denzel and Dakota Fanning. You know who else was in that? Marc Anthony, who is having his eighth child. There’s been some other news with Marc Anthony, too. But back to the movie: he was good in it! He held his own against Denzel (which is not a small thing). And now I’m wondering if the programmer at AMC is a gossip.

Here’s a throwback of Denzel and Dakota. I get the feeling he truly likes her because he’s not grinning from ear-to-ear for just anybody.

Lukas Gage and Chris Appleton had a c-nty Vegas wedding with Kim Kardashian; the marriage didn’t last long and Lukas released a memoir. Now Chris has one as well. Thank you to the media person who is going to read both and do a gossip comparison.

Anna Camp pulled a Valentine’s Day-meets-a-promposal and is this a thing? Now I need to know what actually happens on Valentine’s Day because it has to top this.

NBC is trying to bring pilot season back (and move away from the streaming model of straight-to-series order). The Hollywood Reporter breaks down why this is important; yes, optioning hundreds of scripts, then making around 50 pilots and maybe getting 30 shows out of it, is not efficient but, as THR points out, it not just about getting a greenlit show. Pilots help develop actors, provide a lot of work for crews and can test a writer’s work and for everyone on set, it is relationship building. It’s chaotic but making a TV show is a craft, it’s not about plugging numbers into a spreadsheet.
