Celebrities are finally getting in on the ‘it me’ joke

TwitterFacebook

It should not be a surprise that celebrities know you’re tweeting about them. 

Lately, though, they’ve really been showing it. This summer, Laura Dern, Angela Kinsey, and Kim Kardashian have all responded to tweets about themselves with a particular self-awareness that’s gotten lots of attention. 

Each of the tweets to which they’ve responded involves, in some way, the celebrity’s public persona. For example, the most recent one describes “being the Kim Kardashian of the family” as “exhausting.” 

“I feel you,” Kardashian West replied.

TwitterFacebook

Jennifer Fox’s The Tale didn’t get the fanfare of a traditional movie premiere, and a quick look at the trailer explains whyThe Tale is the true story of Fox herself coming to terms with her sexual assault as a 13-year-old. It’s heartbreaking, disturbing, and often difficult to watch – all of which makes it essential.

Though it is in many ways the story of what happened, The Tale stands out because it is the story of Fox (portrayed by Laura Dern) realizing what happened, decades later. The director has been emphatic about the fact that this is her story, both to pre-empt critics of its discomfiting nature and to keep these conversations going.  Read more…

Sometimes, just sometimes, life imitates art.

“What?! It’s Woman Crush Wednesday? As I choose mine, I find out it’s her birthday too?! @kellymarietran I worship you and your genuine bright light. Can’t wait to see you this weekend!!” wrote Dern.  Read more…

Well, watch it yourself. It might be the purest, most adorable thing you’ll see today.

Dern — kneeling, with a soft-spoken voice — scratches BB-8’s belly as it emits sounds of approval and satisfaction.
