Research: ‘Inventing Anna’ is Shonda Rhimes’ drama of a grifter who fleeced the New York elite


Let’s pass forward and claim “super-ness” because the theme of the week.

Two of this week’s new releases have Tremendous Bowl halftime display connections, and Rhimes is surely one of the vital precious avid gamers in Hollywood.

The latter used to be an enormous good fortune for Netflix, and now Rhimes has a brand new challenge coming to the streaming massive that I’m so excited for that it leads off this version of Pop Lifestyles Chronicles.

3 issues to observe

‘Inventing Anna’

The case of Anna Sorokin, aka Anna Delvey, is person who has fascinated me since I learn the New York mag article about her in 2018.

A just right con artist nearly all the time makes for just right content material, and Sorokin used to be convicted as one of the vital very best, pretending to be a rich German heiress in a scheme that defrauded such a lot of, together with banks, motels and those who idea she used to be a pal.

Rhimes has a just right eye for a tale and much more ability at storytelling so naturally there are top hopes for “Inventing Anna,” which began streaming on Netflix Friday.

‘Marry Me’

Be mindful I discussed the ones connections to the Tremendous Bowl?

Smartly, this is the primary one: Jennifer Lopez, she who slayed the Tremendous Bowl halftime display again in 2020, is again with a rom-com that provides you with the feels.
She performs a celebrity singer (giant stretch, huh?) who is about to get married all over a streaming live performance when she unearths out her supposed (performed through Colombian singer Maluma, who’s scorching in the entire tactics) is a cheater.

So, what does she do? Marry a man within the live performance target audience performed through Owen Wilson, in fact.

And as an advantage, the soundtrack is fundamental J. Lo.

“Marry Me” hit theaters and streaming carrier Peacock on Friday.

‘Love Is Blind’ Season 2

A scene from "Love Is Blind" season two is shown.

Is there any such factor as love now not in the beginning sight?

That used to be the idea of the primary season of “Love Is Blind,” which took lovers through typhoon again in 2020 and ended in some marriages or even extra drama and heartbreak.

In this truth display, contestants must get to understand each and every different with out with the ability to see one some other. The real check comes when they meet.

We will see if Netflix can produce lightning in a bottle (or, on this case, the pod that the contestants are in when they’ve dialog) a 2nd time. The brand new season began streaming Friday.

Bonus watch!

My colleague Kendall Trammell and I now and again disagree, however we’re in settlement in terms of the hit ABC comedy “Abbott Fundamental.” We communicate in regards to the vital courses it teaches on the newest Pop Lifestyles Pop Off. Test it out:

Two issues to hear

Mary J. Blige performs onstage at the 2019 BET Awards in Los Angeles on June 23, 2019.

The Queen of R&B Soul is again!

Mary J. Blige has been concerned with appearing those previous few years (she’s maximum just lately been taking part in a mother who is additionally a tricky crime boss at the Starz collection “Energy E book II: Ghost”), however she has additionally been making song.

She’s shedding “Just right Morning Beautiful” on Friday. The album comprises collaborations with Usher, Anderson .Paak and DJ Khaled.

Oh, and she or he’s appearing this little factor referred to as the Tremendous Bowl halftime display on Sunday.

Eddie Vedder performs during Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival in Franklin, Tennessee, on September 24, 2017.

Eddie Vedder’s 3rd solo album has some significantly heavy hitters on it.

“Earthling” options collaborations with the likes of Stevie Surprise, Elton John and Ringo Starr. In all probability that starpower isn’t that stunning, given how smartly revered the Pearl Jam frontman is within the business, however Vedder says Surprise did stay him and manufacturer Andrew Watt ready six hours prior to he confirmed as much as the studio for his consultation.

“In between, we wrote a tune, and it is gonna be a Pearl Jam tune, and at the moment the running identify is ‘Looking ahead to Stevie,'” Vedder advised Selection.

Approach to use the time, sir.

“Earthling” dropped Friday.

Something to speak about

A scene is shown from Puppy Bowl 2021.

If, like me, you aren’t an enormous soccer fan, do not overlook that there’s all the time the Pet Bowl.

Discovery gives us the entire cuteness of pups “taking part in” a sport as now not most effective an lovable distraction, but additionally a strategy to advertise animal adoption from shelters and rescue teams.

I attended a “Pet Bowl” filming a couple of years in the past, and it used to be one of the vital highlights of my occupation.

It is made even higher as a result of it’ll be hosted as soon as once more through essentially the most doggiest canine of all of them, Snoop Dogg, and his BFF Martha Stewart.

You’ll be able to root for Staff Ruff or Staff Fluff all over Pet Bowl XVIII on Discovery+ Sunday.

One thing to sip on

This is a view of SoFi Stadium as workers prepare for Super Bowl LVI in Inglewood, California  on February 1.

There is a meme going round that mainly states that one of the crucial Gen Z youngsters “are about to determine who their oldsters in reality are as quickly because the beat drops on the Tremendous Bowl halftime display.”

I do know that is proper.

Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Dr. Dre and Kendrick Lamar are going to BRING IT. Regardless that I will’t lend a hand however marvel what number of people they’ll have running the bleeper button as a result of a few of the ones rap lyrics are surely uncooked.

Or will they simply trade the phrases? How will all of it paintings?

The song in its unedited shape is not precisely family-friendly, however the beats are banging and anyone’s mama — and almost definitely daddy, too — is bound to be twerking on Sunday.
