Brie Larson brought her Oscar-winning talent to Saturday Night Live on the Mother's Day episode on May 7. After a monologue that featured castmembers' mothers on stage (Beck Bennett assured his mom that he was dating Larson, and Bobby Moynihan asked his to DVR Vanderpump Rules), Larson brought her own mother up onstage and encouraged the crowd to take their families to see Room over the holiday weekend. An SNL parody commercial for President Barbie didn't quite get through to little girls, who instead chose to play with LEGOs and a broom over the Hillary Clinton-inspired doll. The slogan might not have resonated with the demographic: "No fun ... but definitely a president!" In a sketch similar to the one that broke up Ryan Gosling earlier in the season, Larson joined "medical miracles" Cecily Strong and Kate McKinnon to discuss their near-death experiences. McKinnon's experience was yet again quite different than the ethereal moments that Larson and Strong … [Read more...] about ‘SNL’: Brie Larson Celebrates Mother’s Day on NBC

‘Kong: Skull Island’ Premiere — Brie Larson and ’70s Rock Take Center Stage
The Los Angeles Kong: Skull Island premiere seemed like it was DJ'ed from your dad's vinyl collection. AC/DC, the Who and Creedence Clearwater Revival blasted over Hollywood Boulevard as the guests and stars of the Warner Bros. and Legendary feature filed onto a teal carpet. Some Led Zeppelin was thrown in, for good measure. Skull Island is the latest Kong iteration, this time set in post-Vietnam 1970s, following a ragtag group of scientists and a military unit on a survey mission of an uncharted island inhabited by the titular ape. "Never in your wildest actor dreams do you end up at a huge premiere of a King Kong movie and be in it," said Samuel L. Jackson, who plays the lieutenant colonel leading the island expedition. Castmembers Thomas Mann, Jason Mitchell, John Goodman and Corey Hawkins were joined by Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi and Silicon Valley stars Kumail Nanjiani and Thomas Middleditch for the Wednesday night screening at the Dolby … [Read more...] about ‘Kong: Skull Island’ Premiere — Brie Larson and ’70s Rock Take Center Stage
How Marvel Feels About Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel Photos Getting Leaked
The MCU is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, and somewhere during that time, Kevin Feige and his fellow Marvel bigwigs realized that is's impossible to put a cap on any set photos being leaked, hence why they've adopted this 'go with the flow' attitude. Plus, as he pointed out, most people are smart enough to realize that simply looking at a set photo doesn't paint the full picture of what's happening, and in some cases, the costume/character appearance will look different in the finalized movie. But what's particularly interesting in Feige's comments to Vulture about Captain Marvel is folks across the interwebs have already correctly predicted why Brie Larson is wearing a green costume. Most intriguing. … [Read more...] about How Marvel Feels About Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel Photos Getting Leaked
Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel Has the Same Haircut We All Had in the ’90s
We’ve eagerly awaited the chance to see Carol Danvers suited up, but once I saw Brie Larson’s hair, it was impossible to think about anything else.The upcoming Captain Marvel will take place in the ’90s, and as such, it makes sense that its star would be sporting the most iconically ’90s look of them all: the Rachel. The Rachel defined a generation more than babydoll dresses and clear backpacks ever could. In a hundred years, all characters in period pieces set in the ’90s will be required to sport the Rachel, regardless of gender or hair length.Originally seen on Jennifer Aniston as Rachel Green on the sitcom Friends in 1995, the layered haircut proved to be so popular that it leaped from the screen and into hair salons everywhere. “It became a star in its own right,” explained People‘s Jess Cagle. “Today, Jennifer Aniston’s haircut would have its own Twitter feed.”If today’s Rachel haircut … [Read more...] about Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel Has the Same Haircut We All Had in the ’90s
