Emma From ‘Friends’ Just Hilariously Responded to Chandler’s 2020 Joke


Let me take you back to an episode of season nine from Friends: The gang has gathered for Rachel and Ross’s daughter Emma’s first birthday, and decide to make a video that they’ll gift her when she turns 18. Naturally, Chandler makes a joke in said video. “Hi, Emma. It’s the year 2020,” he says. (The character Emma was born in 2002, making her 18 in 2020.) “Are you still enjoying your nap?”

Well, it’s officially 2020, and one of the women who played Emma, Noelle Sheldon, has responded to Chandler’s joke. “Just woke up from the best nap of all time, happy 2020!! (ft. my poorly done photoshop) Hope everyone has an excellent year full of family, friends, and laughter!!” she wrote on Instagram alongside a pic of herself photoshopped into Central Perk. So Chandler was right: Emma really did nap for 18 years straight. (I kid.)

Check out Sheldon’s post for yourself, below:

And if you need help remembering the reference, here’s the clip from Friends season nine:

Noelle Sheldon and her twin sister, Cali, both played Emma on Friends. They surged back into the spotlight last year when fans learned they played the creepy twins in Jordan Peele’s horror movie Us.

Friends, meanwhile, is officially off Netflix and won’t return to another streaming platform until May. That’s when HBO Max, WarnerMedia’s upcoming streaming service, will start serving as the home to the beloved sitcom.

“HBO Max will bring together the diverse riches of WarnerMedia to create programming and user experiences not seen before in a streaming platform,” WarnerMedia Entertainment and direct-to-consumer chairman Robert Greenblatt said in a statement last year. “HBO’s world-class programming leads the way, the quality of which will be the guiding principle for our new array of Max Originals, our exciting acquisitions, and the very best of the Warner Bros. libraries, starting with the phenomenon that is Friends.“

Emma Watson Weighed in on That Taylor Swift-Scooter Braun Controversy


Emma Watson is the latest celebrity to comment on Taylor Swift‘s legal situation with Big Machine’s Scooter Braun.

During an interview with Variety at the New York premiere of Little Women, the actor said the pop star’s current ownership battle over her music very much reminds her of Saoirse Ronan’s character Jo March, who also struggles to own the copyrights to her debut novel.

“It’s about believing in yourself and knowing your worth and owning your worth,” Watson said on the red carpet.

“Right now, the Taylor Swift situation is a great example of, you know, you’re young and you’re talented and someone wants to buy your work, but having ownership at the end of the day is super, super important because you don’t know what someone’s going to decide to do with that,” she explained.

The Harry Potter star also compared the situation to the Monopoly board game.

“I think people undervalue ownership,” she added. “You know when you play Monopoly and you have a decision and you want to own something or get cash fast. The way to win Monopoly, everyone, is to own stuff. I’m just saying.”

You can watch Watson’s full interview with Variety below:

Watson isn’t the only Little Woman star to weigh in on Swift’s controversy; Ronan also made comparisons between her character and the “Lover” hitmaker while promoting the film last week.

“Taylor Swift just released an album [and it’s the first album she’s ever owned,” she said on This Morning. “We really wanted to use this opportunity to honour this and fight for her work.”

As for Swift, she first spoke out against Braun and Scott Borchetta in June after the talent manager purchased her masters allegedly without her consent.

The 30-year-old singer also took aim at Braun while accepting Billboard‘s Woman of the Decade Award. During her powerful speech, Swift noted that music is too often “bought up like real estate,” adding that it had “happened to me without my approval, consultation or consent.”

“The fact is that private equity enabled [Braun] to think, according to his own social media post, that he could ‘buy me.’ I’m obviously not going willingly,” she said. “Yet the most amazing thing was to discover that it would be the women in our industry who would have my back and show me the most vocal support at one of the most difficult times and I will never, ever forget it. Like, ever.”

Emma Watson and Tom Felton Just Reunited With Their ‘Harry Potter’ Costars


Holiday parties are usually a good excuse to get all of your friends together, and it seems the Harry Potter cast used the season’s festivities for a little Hogwarts reunion. On Wednesday, December 18, Tom Felton (known to HP fans as Draco Malfoy) and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) posted photos on Instagram that showed a few members of the old crew from the beloved film franchise had joined forces for a party—and even reignited old arguments about which house is better.

In the photos Felton poses with Watson, Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood), Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley), and Matt Lewis (Neville Longbottom). He hinted in the caption that there had definitely been some discussion about past rivalries at Hogwarts: “Seasons greetings from my school mates. @mattdavelewis & I mid debate x #gryfindorVSslytherin,” he joked in the post.

Watson added her own little tribute on Instagram, but she was much more diplomatic. She posted one of Felton’s photos in black-and-white and wrote simply, “Merry Christmas from us,” adding a smiley face. Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) aren’t in any of the images, but we’re guessing they were with the cast in spirit.

In addition to just being really sweet, the photos have continued fueling some of those Watson-Felton dating rumors. Fans have been begging the two former costars to date after they were spotted hanging out a few times and posting on each other’s social media accounts. Most recently Felton shared an image taken while he was teaching Watson to play guitar and raved that she was a “quick learner.”

The two of them spending part of the holiday together is an interesting development, to be sure, but then again, these friends have known each other since they were kids—maybe they were just feeling nostalgic about their Hogwarts days.

Emma Watson Has a New Term for Being Single: 'I Call It Self-Partnered'


The world watched Emma Watson grow up on screen as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter, and soon she’ll be seen on screen as another iconic literary character: Meg March in Greta Gerwig’s adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s beloved novel Little Women. It’s a role that’s very fitting for where Watson is at in her life right now: a woman about to turn 30 who’s developed a successful career on her own terms.

And in a new interview with British Vogue, Watson opened up about how this milestone birthday. It appears she’s feeling a little on edge, in part because she “had all these ideas” about what goals she might have accomplished by 30. “I was like, ‘Why does everyone make such a big fuss about turning 30? This is not a big deal…’” she tells the magazine. “Cut to 29, and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I feel so stressed and anxious. And I realize it’s because there is suddenly this bloody influx of subliminal messaging around. If you have not built a home, if you do not have a husband, if you do not have a baby, and you are turning 30, and you’re not in some incredibly secure, stable place in your career, or you’re still figuring things out… There’s just this incredible amount of anxiety.”

The actor also opened up about her relationship status—and her anxiety around it. She’s even using a new term to describe being single. “I never believed the whole ‘I’m happy single’ spiel,” she says. “I was like, ‘This is totally spiel.’ It took me a long time, but I’m very happy [being single]. I call it being self-partnered.”

Self-partnered. It’s an apt term for an activist like Watson, who says her favorite part about her Little Women experience was filming with women like Streep and Dern. “What was really nice about working with Laura Dern and Meryl Streep was that the three of us knew each other way before we did Little Women,” she tells British Vogue. “We met in activist spaces, so we had this allyship and solidarity as activists that had been part of a certain movement before we ever worked together.”

While many parts of Watson’s life are quite different than most of ours, the feeling she describes about turning 30 and her relationship status is so relatable. Kudos to Watson for opening up about her feelings, and a serious slow-clap for my new favorite term: self-partnered.

The First Look of Emma Stone as Cruella de Vil Is Here


Back in 2016, news emerged that Emma Stone would play the iconic, fur-loving Cruella de Vil in Cruella, Disney’s live-action origin story for the villian. While no one ever doubted Stone’s acting skills, some did wonder how the funny, bright-eyed star of movies like Easy A and La La Land would gel with a character this, well, cruel. Now, Disney is offering an answer with its first look at Stone in costume, showing off the edgy, steam-punk direction of her character.

The official Walt Disney Studios social media account tweeted a picture of Stone on set on Saturday, showing off de Vil’s signature black-and-white hair—plus an updated wardrobe that includes a more modern leather jacket. “Here’s your first look at Emma Stone as Cruella de Vil in Disney’s Cruella,” Disney wrote, adding, “The film, also starring Emma Thompson, Paul Walter Hauser, and Joel Fry, comes to theaters May 28, 2021.”

The new movie will serve as a precursor to the 101 Dalmatians story and is supposed to follow de Vil’s early days in punky 1970s London, before she became an obsessive dog-napper. The original children’s book—written in 1956 by English novelist and playwright Dodie Smith—depicts de Vil as a mean heiress and former classmate of the dogs’ kind human owner, Mrs. Dearly. De Vil is supposed to have been a “menacing” student who got kicked out of school for drinking ink (hmm), so we’ll have to see how Stone brings that kind of unhinged energy to the screen.

Stone is taking the reins from powerhouse Glenn Close, who portrayed de Vil in Disney’s 1996 live-action version of the film. (There’s also the unforgettable animated cartoon, which came out in 1961.) It sounds like she has a ton of room to get creative during the production, which is being directed by I, Tonya director Craig Gillespie—we’ll be counting down to the premiere in the meantime.

Emma Watson and Tom Felton Hung Out, and Now Fans Are Begging Them to Date


Here’s a bit of Harry Potter excitement we didn’t see coming: Emma Watson and Tom Felton, better known to fans as Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy, had a mini-reunion over some music wizardry. Felton gave fans a look at his friendship with Watson this week by posting a shot to Instagram of him teaching her guitar.

“Quick learner,” Felton wrote in the caption. The picture seems to have been taken when the two actors were in South Africa.

It’s not the first time Watson and Felton have spent quality time together since the Harry Potter franchise ended. Back in November, Watson shared a black and white video of the two of them riding a skateboard together and laughing hysterically. In the clip, Felton jokes that she’s “dancing around on the board like a clown” and tells her to “hang on tight.” The cute video immediately sparked rumors that these two might be dating.

And now the same thing is happening with this guitar video. Just look at some of these fan tweets:

Part of the reason that Draco and Hermoine fans are so obsessed with a potential relationship has to do with something Emma Watson said herself. In 2012, she admitted she had a crush on Felton when she was a kid. “Between the ages of 10 and 12, I had a really terrible crush on Tom Felton,” she said on the Jonathan Ross Show. “We love a bad guy and he was a few years older and he had a skateboard. And that just did it, really. He used to do tricks on it. He was so cool.”

Well, he still has a skateboard (and a guitar), so maybe there’s hope for this Griffyindor-Slytherin union, after all. And if not, at least we have those eight glorious Harry Potter films.
