Oh, Rupert. Ron Weasley is the punching bag of the Harry Potter universe. He deals with the insults, the Weasley jokes, the schemes to make him worse at quidditch, but it all ends up okay, because he’s a fundamentally good person — and also because he gets to kiss Hermione. Unfortunately for Rupert Grint, however, the last part of that wasn’t so fun, making him the only person who has ever had trouble feeling attracted to Emma Watson (Bazinga!
What, no Carson? Blasphemy! [VF]

Charlize Theron is hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend, so here’s her obligatory promo reel. Taran Killam sure can make a silly face! Theron’s previous hosting gig was all the way back in 2000 (musical guest: Paul Simon), long enough ago that she was a member of the girl-group Gemini’s Twin and a guest on “Goth Talk” — the final “Goth Talk,” in fact, since Molly Shannon left the show at the end of that season.
In a sermon from 2010, Shirley Caesar was just trying to praise God. The pastor and gospel singer named her blessings, namely the “greens, beans, potatoes, tomatoes …” that populated her dinner table. In November, the internet turned that snippet into the viral Thanksgiving-themed “U Name It Challenge.” Now, Caesar is going to court over one request: Stop inserting sin into her sermon!
Caesar was fine with the Thanksgiving-themed viral video, but when an Atlanta DJ posted a rendition that included liquor, she was not thrilled.
Mojo Nixon, the artist behind comedic hits like “Elvis Is Everywhere” and “Don Henley Must Die,” died on the Outlaw Country Cruise. He reportedly suffered a “cardiac event” after performing a show. “How you live is how you should die,” his family said in a statement obtained by Rolling Stone. “Mojo Nixon was full-tilt, wide-open rock hard, root hog, corner on two wheels + on fire… Passing after a blazing show, a raging night, closing the bar, taking no prisoners + a good breakfast with bandmates and friends.

Since bursting onto the mystery scene with her genre-bending 2007 debut In the Woods, Tana French has cemented her reputation as a literary novelist who happens to write about murder. A Dubliner who originally trained as a stage actor, her first six books were each narrated by a different detective from the fictional Dublin Murder Squad. In her seventh, The Witch Elm, out this week to rave reviews, she breaks from her own convention by writing from the perspective of the victim of a crime.
Mainstreaming that we’re happy about. Under normal circumstances, a photograph of a farmhouse would be, at best, pretty and quaint and, at worst, totally lame and boring. Leave it to Quentin Tarantino to change all that. Images of a French farmhouse constructed for his hotly anticipated (and potentially wonderfully insane) film Inglorious Bastards have leaked to the Internet, and fans who have already read a draft of the script can barely contain their enthusiasm for a peek at the location of the film’s opening showdown between its female lead and the “Jew Hunter.
The Black Panther press tour is going exactly according to plan: We’ve got Michael B. Jordan bursting out of sweaters, Michael B. Jordan doing push-ups whenever Lupita Nyong’o says he has to, Michael B. Jordan gettingflirty with Lupita, and just generally all things Michael B Jordan. (But also, hello, Winston Duke.) We now bring you the gift of Michael B. Jordan singing: On a recent trip to Seoul, Ryan Coogler picked Jordan and Chadwick Boseman to sing K-Ci & JoJo’s “All My Life” (the correct choice) at karaoke, which of course meant presenter Eric Nam got them all to sing it on the spot.
Remember vests? Ah, were we ever so young? Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice presented a vision where everyone wore a vest for some reason, and oh, how it made us merry. Then along came The Magnificent Seven (I checked, it did indeed come out), where several bored but highly compensated actors also wore vests. It was a sartorial trend of sorts, hampered by the fact the films these vests appeared in ranged from “Bad” to “Did I actually buy a ticket to The Magnificent Seven?
