Any tea on Ella Purnell? Just started "Fallout", I already liked her but so far absolutely loving her in this (alongside Arcane).
No tea only that she’s one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen and men on the internet are calling her mid and editing her body. I’m getting really tired of being on this planet.
Edit: please don’t send Reddit cares I was being sarcastic
The AI pictures where they’re “fixing” her are some of the most terminally online incel shit I’ve ever seen. She has beautiful eyes.
Also if anyone is going to “fix” Fallout just remove Michael Rappaport.
Yeah but what happens to him and the character he plays, so fitting 💀
I need to still watch it (I finally watched the last Invincible drop yesterday) but that makes me feel better lmfao. I was kind of hesitant on watching it depending on how much screen time he has. The only thing I want to watch of him is that TikTok where he got nailed with a snowball.
There's literally no woman on earth that escapes that trend of putting a filter on them to make them look "better". Even Angelina has a bunch of pics like that floating around. It's like it's the very quality of looking human that puts them off.
Seriously!! The unbridled misogyny on the internet is crazy she’s so beautiful.
it’s so funny to me that men who are terminally online just can’t seem to grasp the fact that some women have unusual/unique features. ella is so eye-cathing and gorgeous
I am glad she's getting more work. I didn't know her name or that she was in Fallout until I watched the first episode and asked myself if that wasn't Jackie from Yellowjackets. It's great because I liked her a lot in Yellowjackets, and her role there has been mostly reduced. She's a really good actress and I had no idea she was English until I looked her up. I hope she keeps the hits coming.
You can block the Reddit care bot.
Same
Please watch Yellowjackets if you haven't yet, she's incredible in that.
Yellowjackets is soooo good
Not tea but I do remember her posting a while back that her packed up u-haul got stolen when she was moving in LA. It happens all the time in the area where I am and it really was a “stars—they’re just like us moment.” I hope she got her stuff recovered!
I saw a tik tok of her where the interviewer said the sun was bothering them on the red carpet and she offered them water saying she could get it for them - a little thing but she seems sweet. I first saw her in the Miss Peregrines movie and she dated Asa Butterfield for a little bit afterwards. I remember seeing a video on one of their instagrams years and years ago of them reuniting in an airport and it was cute.
David and Victoria beckham ? Allegedly he knocked up one of his daughter harper teachers , has a kid in Miami , had a affair with his assistant when he played for Real Madrid and the Sarah affair from Singapore scandal where David calls himself Peter Pan and Victoria Wendy and Sarah tinkerbell. There’s probably more I’m missing 😭
LITERALLY
Somehow I was fine until Wendy/Tinkerbell
Was often talked about in London many years ago (like when Brooklyn was still young) that they were open and I actually personally know someone who swears they saw Victoria at a club in London with a man who wasn't David and they were def not acting like friends lol and was always rumoured that David had other women. I know a lot of people don't believe that a lot of these relationships are open, but I actually sort of do believe it with these two. Idk I think they have a pretty strong marriage but it isn't necessarily based on monogamy.
I think, for most celebrities, it would be better to have an open relationship but only be committed to their spouse. Like... I can't ever imagine myself cheating on a partner, but celebrities often have very attractive people being very nice to them, willing to do most everything for them, and pursuing them relentlessly. It is human to be tempted every so often, and if you also have a career that takes you away from your partner for months on end, I can understand how people would stray. Might as well have an official stance on it that gives reassurance and sets boundaries.
Damn, David!
But I’m not surprised in the least. A friend of mine recently said that he cheated that one time with the hotel maid (or whoever it was) but has been faithful ever since. I couldn’t stop laughing for half an hour.
He sleeps around a lot. Press are apparently sitting on a story claiming he had an affair with Rita Ora too (she claims she slept with Brooklyn as well…)
commas are free, you know :P
thanks for the tea.
A kid in Miami? Eek. Any links/source for that?
Forget that, Tinkerbell?!!
They tried to get Posh on Friends in 2001 as a love interest for Joey
Chappell Roan??
Or any tea from the makeup/beauty industry world?
I'm colleagues with the artist who did her makeup for the Tiny Desk concert: she was professional and personable, but very focused for the duration of the shoot. Came in with the visual concept, but was not dictatorial.
following because i LOVE chappell! her performances are electric and i hope she becomes the next big pop girl 💕
Probably not the tea you were looking for but my four year old is obsessed with her. He calls her our favourite woman
raising them right💪
Been following her career since 2021 when she put out Pink Pony Club and fell in love with her voice. I can’t describe how amazing it is to see her finally get her flowers after years of hustling. She deserves every bit of success she gets.
Me too!! I'm finding it hard to not keep telling people "actually I've been a fan since 2021 and saw the vision then" LMAO but so happy she's getting this success
i met Chappell at a M&G when her tickets were $20 and she was so freakin nice. i know it was when she knew she was meeting fans but she was still so sweet and nice
Ben Barnes. I almost never hear his name. Love him in Shadow and Bone and Prince Caspian!
A Zionist. Posted about this before but: he was liking pro-genocide content online and followed the account of the person posting (Sam Harris, who even Ben Affleck has called out for Islamophobia) so it wasn't an accidental like. The post he liked implied that the death of Palestinian children was "collateral damage." After getting called out by some fans, he unliked and unfollowed, but never addressed it and follows other major Zionists (Yael Grobglas, Emanuelle Chriqui). Is/was friends with Chris D’Elia (if you google their names, you’ll get a photo of them and Ben once posted photos wearing Chris’s merch that are still on his IG).
oh
I was always confused why he didn't become a huge star after Prince Caspian. He had definitely worked consistently since which is great, but I really thought he would be the next big thing. His films after Prince Caspian after were all a bit pants though. I saw him in Birdsong in the West End during that period, and he was great.
He dated Amanda Seyfried during filming for The Big Wedding - at least that's what the rumours at the time were.
Ben Barnes and Lizzie Pattinson (Robert Pattinson's sister) used to sing together during High School.
He pissed off some big names in the West End by taking that role.
He was one of the lead characters in the History Boys when it transferred from the National, and then left two weeks in to go do Caspian.
They hadn’t even trained up the understudies by that point so Dominic Cooper came back to cover him in the meantime.
Childhood me had such a crush on him holy shit
He’s still got it. The moment he showed up as General Kirigan I was 🙀🙀🤩🤩
I was actively rooting against the heroes because he was so charming as Kirigan
naw cause i watched prince caspian everyday for a month straight. i was OBSESSEDDDD he is so hot
He has a segment of his fans following his relationship with Julianne Hough. Reading about it is wild, not as unhinged as the Chris Evans, Timothee Chalamet, Adam Driver fans but still unhinged. LOL!
Is he dating her? I remember it was said they're only friends during the pandemic
I’m not sure if they are dating or dated, but some of his fans are convinced that they dated and are in a FWB type of relationship. They also think the songs on his album is about her. They actually sound more of an anti-fan or a hater at this point.
They would check the times that they both follow and unfollowed each other. Even the timestamps of their posts to check if they are in the same place. LOL!
I can't find the original comment, but according to an older post he said something really shitty about the situation of Palestinians and is pro Israel. I'm trying to find it though but it was supposedly something on his ig story or some other social media post.
I don't remember for certain so take it with a grain of salt but I think the comment claimed he used the term "collateral damage" when it came to Palestinian civilian deaths
I don’t know too much about him but I sense he decided to concentrate on his music in the last few years.

I wish you get the tea you desire one of these days!
Re-watching Brooklyn 99. Any tea?
I was pretty deep in the b99 fandom when it was airing. Honestly I can’t think of any tea because the cast is pretty wholesome.
Idk if you think this is tea but it’s something: So the younger members of the cast all got pregnant with their spouses around the same time during seasons 3 and 4. Except Stephanie Beatriz (Rosa) who was in a long term relationship with the guy who played Kevin’s dentist brother. I think they were dating before the show started and she got him that guest part. Anyways, her cast members getting married and having kids made her realize that she wanted those things, but he didn’t, so they broke up sometime around season 4? She then met her now husband on Raya and they have a beautiful daughter. I think she was pregnant during the final season? Source: Stephanie used to go on a lot of podcasts, and at one point she had her own.
Another little bit of tea: Stephanie says she dated Lin Manuel Miranda (or at least went on a few dates with him). But she only ever mentioned it offhandedly on a podcast so there’s no more information out there about that.
No tea, I’ve tried rewatching it lately too but it’s been super hard tbh cause I feel like now I see alllll the copaganda and a lot of the moments I just don’t agree with and their language etc, it’s crazy I didn’t see it before
I find a lot of it funny so that sucks but yeah it’s like a blindfold was taken off
it is impossible to rewatch which is sad :(
There was that time when Terry Crews believed (still believes?) that children need a mother and a father to not feel "severely malnourished":
https://www.pride.com/celebrities/2019/3/06/terry-crews-apologizes-lgbt-folks-after-chat-stephanie-beatriz
he would fuckin say that ffs terry
I think he's also unsupportive of other people's experiences. He talked about being groped by a male figure (I think exec or something) during #metoo and alot of people supported him, including Gabrielle Union.
But then when she discussed issues of racism with America's got Talent and the production company making it a hostile work environment, Terry Crews talked about how the production company was great to HIM.
Interestingly enough, the production company produced American Gods and Orlando Jones discussed the same issue. The bts was super disorganized and he ending up having to write scripts as well. In addition, they were upset by his portrayal of an angry Black man and wanted him to tone that down. And then he wasn't invited to the 3rd season.
Orlando Jones also leaked dm's from Ricky Whittle (the star of the show, and biracial Black man) saying that Orlando was pulling the race card, and that the production company was only incompetent (this is in spite of him not being in the writers room or what conversations Jones may or may not have had with the production company). "Using the racism card to burn ur friends house down is clever but we both know it’s incompetence not racism & we are caught in the crossfire". He made it about himself and how Jones complaining about issues he had affected him.
Does anyone have tea on why Mandy Moore and Minka Kelly seem to no longer be close?
They used to regularly feature each other on their respective Instagrams and support the other's projects. Minka was there for Mandy during her divorce from Ryan Adams.
Then it seems like they stopped hanging out over night.
I did read a blind a while back that stated Mandy distanced herself because Minka had a relationship with Sean Penn. It could also be life just took them in different directions.
But does anyone know or heard anything?
Oh, that’s so depressing to hear about Minka.
After reading her autobiography, I think she is a good person with a terrible picker for partners.
How does Sean Penn continue to date such gorgeous women???
Supposedly he's incredibly charming in person. That, mixed with being an A-List actor. Yeah, I'm not surprised.
But let us not forget what he did to Madonna and Charlize Theron ghosting him.

What’s Pedro Pascal been up to?
Shooting the new Ari Aster movie, will shoot the newest from Celene Song in May.
He's filming an Ari Aster movie called Eddington. He's been spotted going back to LA as well. It's been pretty quiet. There's a new interview he did with Sarah Paulson in interview that just came out. He also posted this story on the day of the eclipse. He's funny.

Melissa Barrera? I know she’s an advocate for Palestine, but I’m wondering about her background in Mexico and what she’s like to work with.
Some Scream cast members came to the premiere of Abigail, and Jenna Ortega dropped out of Scream 7 in solidarity, so I'd assume she's not unpleasant on set.
Yeah, the amount of people who still have her back through this all makes me think she’s good people
I've interviewed her twice. She was very kind and professional.
Not really tea but I worked with her briefly and she is so stunning in person. Her eyes look almost gold in regular light when you are up close and she was the nicest. She had just gotten her lips topped off (filler) bc she was complaining that she looked a little puffy.
This will be a long comment, so bear with me. I’ve also created a throwaway account, since I don’t want to dox myself although I’m not going to say anything bad.
Melissa grew up in San Pedro Garza Garcia. To give some context for those outside Mexico and Latin America, San Pedro is the most expensive city to live in all Latin America. I would compare the same social attitudes as the posh circles in LA and NY. The people around here are generally not new-rich, but have generational wealth. The mentality is absolutely disgusting, with people being extremely conservative, generally racist but even more classist. They normally look down on you and the social class division is veeeery distinct. I would recommend to watch on Netflix Cindy La Regia to understand how the social dynamics of this city work.
I’ve never heard of Melissa before she was on Scream Queens, but noticed she was in the most expensive school in all San Pedro, which is ASFM. To get into that school you must either be well connected wealth wise or be a foreigner with money. Anyways, I normally don’t expect much from people coming from that school, they are normally very close-minded and uptight.
However, I hold A LOT of respect for her being so outspoken about Palestine. Knowing she grew up in a privileged environment, it’s very difficult to break the class bubble and see the world without filters. People here normally don’t get much into Politics because, why would they? As long as it doesn't affect them, it’s not a problem. So the fact that she’s not shutting up about it and continue to advocate for a free Palestine makes me absolutely adore her.
I know it’s the bare minimum to support a country that it’s currently undergoing genocide, but full respect for her that she’s using her platform that also targets the wealthiest of the wealthiest in LATAM. Absolutely no one here is being so outspoken about it.
As an extra fun fact, the singer Sofia Reyes is also from San Pedro.
I can’t speak to her background, but the fact that all people say about her on set is nothing but nice things should speak to how she is to work with.
Cast of Succession? They all seem very pro-ceasefire in Gaza, which I like!
not tea, but hiam abbass (marcia) was recently the subject of the documentary film “bye bye tiberias”, which has had excellent reviews. i have no clue where to watch it, but really want to! support palestinian art, always 🇵🇸
It was done by her daughter Lina Soualem. They are a very talented family. I learned about the documentary from the Doha Institute's Qumra program (with Toni Collette and Atom Egoyan giving masterclasses there). I haven't seen the film either, but I think often of what has become Hiram's family in Palestine during the genocide. 🇵🇸
