Celebrity Status – Rihanna, Coolidge, McCarthy, And RIP Raquel

For Thursday, February 16th:

Straight off her Super Bowl performance, Rihanna is on the cover of British Vogue with A$AP Rocky and their baby. Inside she says she’s hoping to release her long-awaited ninth album before the end of the year. “I want it to be this year… Like, honestly, it’d be ridiculous if it’s not this year.” She’d better get on that… because TWO babies won’t give you MORE free time.

‘Extrapolations’ is Apple’s new drama about climate change, and it stars… ummm, everyone? Meryl Streep, Sienna Miller, Kit Harington, Edward Norton, Diane Lane, David Schwimmer, Keri Russell, Marion Cotillard, Forest Whitaker, Tobey Maguire and more. There’s a trailer out now.

And there’s a new teaser trailer for ‘The Little Mermaid’ live-action movie. It gives us just a tiny peek at Melissa McCarthy as Ursula the Sea Witch… muahahaha!

Speaking of live-action movies, Universal Pictures will release a live-action adaptation of Dreamworks Animation’s ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ in 2025.

Jennifer Coolidge, who has seen a huge career bump in the last couple of years, had to call the police after a trespasser reportedly tried to get into her home.

In other headlines, Dina Pugliese of Breakfast Television is leaving the show.

Much beloved actor, Dick Van Dyke, was on The Masked Singer this week… he’s 97!

And actress Raquel Welch, who was a sex symbol back when people said things like that, has died at 82. She played a great version of herself in the season 8 finale of Seinfeld.
