From Mamma Mia, welcome to The Spill, your daily pop culture fix. I'm Laura Brodnick. And I'm Tina Burke.
What did Tina Fey reveal about her biggest insecurities?
And coming up on the show today, a new TV show is, well, a new old TV show is soon to be hitting our screens. One of the most iconic TV shows of all time, and that's not even, I'm not even saying that, because I was barely alive to watch it. These are cold hard facts that I'm bringing into this, is coming back to our screens. We're going to talk about that and what it's going to mean for how we watch TV shows in general. Plus, you interviewed one of your icons recently. Well, she's everyone's icon. Tina Fey. I'll just say it now because it's going to be the title of the show. You interviewed Tina Fey and she said something really interesting that we need to unpack. Kind of like her biggest fault, but also something that shapes a very unexpected little tidbit you got out of her that I think everyone can relate to.
But first, some breaking fashion news.
Breaking fashion news. We touched on this lightly last week, but it has developed tenfold.
Well, it only just started.
How does Tina Fey's self-deprecation affect her public persona?
It only just begun. When we talked about it last week, and now the story, it's been a fast-moving news story that has evolved and changed. Every morning I have awoken to an update for seven days straight. People I follow on Instagram who are just regular people who don't even work in media and fashion were posting updates about this. That's how much it changed society as a whole. And, of course, we're talking about John Travolta's berets.
His jaunty little berets. And every day a new colour, a new slant, and I feel like they got a little bit slantier too with time. Like they kept on developing. You'd like open Instagram, open your eyes, and then there's a new beret. But this time it's leaning a little bit further to the left. Huge.
Yes. And now he's also in New York. So he's left the Cannes Film Festival in France and he's traveled to New York because he is on the press tour for his directorial debut, Propeller One Way Nightcoach, which I don't know what that's about, but I'm assuming you might see it at some stage.
What are the details surrounding the Baywatch reboot?
Well, look, the Telegraph said it was, and I quote because I'm not this mean. Oh. Like watching a toddler walk into a lamppost. Wow. Wow. Okay, that does make me want to see it. Well, no wonder he's wearing the berets. Yeah, he's generating press.
He's making headlines. He's trying to distract us from the fact that his first movie as a director is apparently horrendous. Horrendous, they're saying. And maybe kind of funny because it would be watching, what was it, a toddler walk into a pole? A toddler walk into a lamppost.
What casting choices are being made for the new Baywatch series?
Oh, that's kind of funny. A lamppost is very specific as well. So he actually got asked at the premiere of his new movie about the iconic berets and he was like, I'm loving all the attention. It's like, John, we know.
We know you're enjoying this.
We know. You probably only meant to wear a beret once and then it took off and became its own life force and now he's pushing it.
Yeah, because he's He's also got his new beard and his new glasses.
So it's all happening. It's all very fresh. He's got a different stance for each beret. Yeah. He went on to say, I love it. I love it.
How does the new Baywatch aim to differ from the original?
I love the attention. And he said, once Vogue and Harper's Bazaar voted me the best dress at Cannes, I went, okay, we've arrived.
What? What?
Yeah. John! He's loving it.
He also went on to say that it's not really a fashion choice so much as he wanted to remember his first press tour as a director. Yes. And he said, I wanted to differentiate all the years of watching me in photos because he said, I can't tell the difference when I look at photos. I think what year was that? What movie was that? What press conference was that?
