Why so serious? Because the planet is dying. We’ve gotten so used to the Fire Drill Friday updates about Jane Fonda that it’s hard to believe her run protesting has come to an end for now. (She does need to get back to work sometime, and while this is the last formal FDF, the organization has unspecified plans to keep working in the future.) Joining her on the Hill today was Joaquin Phoenix, noted vegan actor who recently asked his fellow Golden Globe attendees to help out the climate by maybe not taking so many private jets all over the damn place.

He’s being serious this time, okay! On New Year’s Eve, Joe Gatto announced on Instagram that he will be “no longer be involved with Impractical Jokers.” Gatto cited issues in his personal life as a factor in his decision to leave the Tenderloins comedy troupe as he now needs to “focus on being the best father and co-parent” to his children after his separation from his wife. He thanked his fellow Jokers, saying, “Outside of my family, my relationships with Murr, Q and Sal have been the most important in my life.

Joe Jonas, photographed by Andreas Laszlo Konrath. As told to Jennifer Vineyard.
To some extent, I was used to growing up in public. I was a pastor’s kid, so eyes were always on me, even then. I sat in the first pew of the church, and I had to wear a suit every Sunday, because my parents wanted me to be this role model that I didn’t always want to be.

It’s amazing what late-night hosts can discover about their guests when they aren’t retreading Vulture interviews about mascots. John Oliver swung by The Late Show on Tuesday for a cute miscellaneous interview of sorts, saying that it was “a bold thing” for America to allow the Super Bowl and Tom Brady’s chiseled-by-vegan body to go on during a pandemic. (And, no, he’s not going to “drink an amount of water that’s technically drowning every day” to get Brady’s physique.

The new The Daily Show (The Book): An Oral History, by Chris Smith (a longtime New York editor), arrives just as many are scratching their heads and wondering whether Jon Stewart could have saved us from the pain caused by — and possibly the results of — the latest election cycle. Though that will have to remain a Rumsfeldian known unknown, there is solace in this chatty and highly informative tome.

Mabel and Honoria are in the closet. Literally. During the second episode of the new AppleTV+ series The Buccaneers, which focuses on a group of American girls in England in the 1800s, the girls play sardines and two of them end up stuck in a closet together. As played by Josie Totah (Mabel) and Mia Threapleton (Honoria), the scene is intimate and filled with unconsummated gay longing. They gaze at each other, they share feelings, they lightly touch.

Joss Whedon. With any luck, Joss Whedon’s Much Ado About Nothing will be shown in high-school classes for years to come, waking up students who were falling asleep trying to comb through Shakespeare. It might even be the first time they actually enjoy the Bard. The film is also a delight for Whedon acolytes who like to play Spot the Actor, because just about everybody in this film has previously appeared in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse, or one of Whedon’s movies.

Around this time last year, the Rolling Stones released the eerily prescient song “Living in a Ghost Town,” written and recorded before the pandemic but with some pretty on-the-nose observations that could very well apply to quarantine life. Now, after over a year of the pandemic, Mick Jagger is back with a song that very clearly was written during this time: “Eazy Sleazy,” abounding with references to COVID, virtual life, and some pretty worrisome conspiracies.

Meaning: a giant tattoo of Jesus’ face on his left calf.

Justin Bieber Week kicks off on Ellen today, and Ellen asks the requisite questions: What about that dick pic? (“It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be.”) What about that girl you took to Bora Bora? (“Just a friend.”) What about Selena? Are you going to get back together with her? (“Maybe. We have a lot of history together.”) We’ve got to hand it to Ellen, this is some masterfully good-natured grilling of the Biebs.
