The Shirley Trailer Asks: Who’s Afraid Of Elisabeth Moss?
Okay, Shirley Jackson fans, time to get excited–the trailer for a new movie titled Shirley dropped a couple of days ago, and it looks amazing! The film stars Elisabeth Moss as Shirley Jackson (the author of classics such as The Haunting of Hill House and The Lottery), who receives a young couple into her home as houseguests. It’s not long before the tension and strange events get to them all, and they go on to inspire one of Jackson’s horror novels. And to make this whole project even more Inception-like, the movie is based off of a book called Shirley by Susan Scarf Merrell!

Alison Roman Apologizes To Chrissy Teigen For Interview Diss
Chrissy Teigen, the author of the cookbook Cravings, tweeted on Friday what a “huge bummer” it was to read that fellow cookbook author Alison Roman disparaged her business model and success. In an interview, Roman called Teigen’s Instagram feed a “content farm” and said that her career choices “horrify me.” Teigen pushed back against Roman’s words (and Roman’s criticism of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up author Marie Kondo) by defending her business, hard work, and by pointing out that she’d always supported Roman–going so far as signing on to executive produce Roman’s new show. Roman has since apologized, but what a mess.
