‘Late Night’ trailer starring Mindy Kaling previews your new fave movie

TwitterFacebook

It wouldn’t be a great Mindy Kaling comedy if she didn’t get hit with a garbage bag at least once and provided iconic one-liners, right? 

In Late Night, she plays writer Molly Patel, a new hire for late night host Katherine Newbury (Emma Thompson) as a means to revive her show. 

Helmed by director Nisha Ganatra and written by Kaling, the workplace buddy comedy also stars John Lithgow, Hugh Dancy, Reid Scott, and Denis O’Hare — and it’s giving us major Devil Wears Prada vibes. 

After a buzzy premiere at the Sundance Film Festival this year, Amazon Studios bought the rights for its distribution for $13 millionLate Night hits theaters on June 7.  Read more…

Mindy Kaling weighs in on where her ‘Office’ character would be now

TwitterFacebook

It hasn’t been that long since fans said goodbye to The Office, but it’s been long enough to make us wonder where the characters are now (and not-so-secretly hope for a revival). In a new interview with Variety, Office alum Mindy Kaling discussed where she thinks Kelly Kapoor would be now and how she feels about an Office 

“There’s not an insignificant part of me that thinks that Kelly might be in jail; a crime of passion,” Kaling said in a video. “The character just kept getting a little bit more and more unhinged. I don’t want to say that she murdered Ryan but like I’m also not convinced that he’s still alive in the world of The Office.” Read more…

‘The Office’ episode ‘Diwali’ is still a master class in representation

TwitterFacebook

You can’t get far into any discussion or analysis of TV these days without talking about diversity – a subject which networks and producers still struggle to wrap their minds around, let alone execute. 

But answers and tools for improving representation on TV have been available. That’s why it’s embarrassing that this industry-wide weakness is only recently being addressed with any real effort.

 In 2006, The Office aired “Diwali,” a remarkable episode that holds up and is still a pivotal benchmark in how to tell diverse stories in Hollywood.

Let’s all strive to live like Oprah dancing to ‘Havana’ at a photoshoot

TwitterFacebook

This is One Good Thing, a weekly column where we tell you about the only nice thing that happened on the internet this week.

In case her list of accomplishments and talents wasn’t long enough, we’re here to remind everyone that on top of being an actress, writer, philanthropist, and entrepreneur, Oprah Winfrey is also an extremely smooth dancer.

On Wednesday, Oprah’s close personal friend and A Wrinkle In Time co-star Mindy Kaling shared a damn-near perfect moment she captured on video: Oprah dancing.   

But this wasn’t just any casual little jig. Oprah was at a photo shoot busting out some soulful, smooth, sassy moves for the camera. She was also looking fresh to death — wearing white pants, a poppin’ yellow tunic and scarf, and a super stylish hat. Read more…

Riz Ahmed and Mindy Kaling may just have tweeted their way into ‘Ms. Marvel’

TwitterFacebook

After Kevin Feige hinted at the introduction of the Muslim superhero Kamala Khan — alias Ms. Marvel — to the MCU, Riz Ahmed and Mindy Kaling got pretty excited.

Ahmed was the first to tweet about it, with a suggestion for a killer writing team of himself, Mindy Kaling, and Kumail Nanjiani.

So when do @MarvelStudios want me @mindykaling @kumailn to get started on the MsMarvel screenplay ?

— Riz Ahmed (@rizmc) May 16, 2018

Then Kaling replied, revealing herself as a long-time Ms. Marvel fan.

Ike Barinholtz won’t stop trolling Mindy Kaling on Instagram, and it’s impressive

TwitterFacebook

Celebrities are just like us — they have friends, they’re obsessed with social media, and they use humor and wit to poke fun at their loved ones whenever possible.

Take Ike Barinholtz, for example. The Blockers actor constantly trolls his close pal and former Mindy Project co-star, Mindy Kaling, whenever she posts on Instagram. If the actress dares to share a photo with people who are not Ike, he’s there to question her loyalty. If she posts a photo of herself filming nearby, he asks if she wants to hang out. And if she promotes her new show Champions, he’s there to beg for a cameo.

The often lengthy and hilarious comments have become a delightful tradition that Mindy herself, and dedicated fans, have picked up on. So it’s time we give Ike’s Instagram efforts the recognition they deserve. Read more…

TwitterFacebook

What happens when you put eight scene-stealers in a room together?

Well, in the case of Ocean’s 8, they pull off the heist of the century at the star-studded Met Gala.

Sandra Bullock leads the cast as Debbie Ocean, sister of Danny Ocean (George Clooney’s character from Ocean’s 11 through 13), with Cate Blanchett as her right-hand woman.

The rest of the gang includes Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, and – last but certainly not least – Rihanna.

Frankly, that cast alone is enough to get us to the theater. But if you need a bit more convincing, check out the latest trailer above.  Read more…
