    Agatha All Along Star Hopes It’s The ‘Gayest Marvel Project Yet’

    Agatha All Along, the upcoming Disney+ series spinoff of yet another Disney+ series (WandaVision) which was a spin-off of Marvel’s Avengers movies, premieres September 18 on the streaming service. The show will follow the titular character Agatha (Kathryn Hahn) who is trying to restore her witch powers after losing a magical battle with Wanda Maximoff. In her attempts to regain her magical abilities, Agatha creates her own coven of witches, composed of actors like Patti Lupone, Aubrey Plaza, Sasheer Zamata, and Debra Jo Rupp. During the red carpet premiere of Agatha All Along, we learned that there may be some extracurricular coven activities going on—namely, a queer romance.

    During the premiere, Variety red carpet correspondent Marc Malkin told Plaza he’d heard that Agatha All Along was the “gayest Marvel project yet.”

    “It better be, because that’s what I signed up for,” Plaza quipped after sassily rolling her neck.

    In the show, Plaza plays a green witch (who are typically herbalists and healers) named Rio Vidal, who has quite the history with Agatha. It’s clear from the teaser trailer that there’s some magic between the two, and Malkin describes their chemistry as “Law And Order meets Basic Instinct meets Bound.” “You’re speaking my language,” Plaza responded. “All of that, yes. More, more, more.” Malkin then asks if the show gets gayer and gayer as it goes on, to which Plaza replies with, “Yes, darling, but I can’t tell you how. I can’t tell you anything. But yes, it will be a gay explosion.”

    Plaza is notoriously playful in interviews, so it’s possible she’s exaggerating the series’ queerness—but I’m hoping she’s not! Witches have long been a persecuted people cast out from society for their otherness (or femmes wrongfully accused of witchcraft for daring to buck societal norms), so there has always been a clear cultural overlap between conjurers and the queer community. Modern practicing witches see their craft as a reclamation of power, something that the LGBTQIA+ can appreciate.

    Plus, Plaza and Hahn are both hilarious, hot, talented women—why not give us a little lesbian love affair between two of the funniest contemporary actors? I’m incredibly here for it.

    Agatha All Along’s first two episodes premiere on Disney+ on September 18 at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET. Then the series will release one episode per week until Halloween week, when the final two will drop back-to-back. It’s spooky season, bitches.

  • Celebrities, Kimmel raise money for charity on ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire’

    Celebrities, Kimmel raise money for charity on ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire’

    CULVER CITY, Calif. — Jimmy Kimmel is on his summer vacation from late-night television. But before he started his time off, he taped a summer of shows for primetime.

    Kimmel is back with a new celebrity-filled season of “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.”

    “This show is so much easier than my show. I mean, really, like, the amount of preparation is basically one minute of reading through pronunciations and then sitting down,” laughed Kimmel.

    In the new season of “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire,” celebrities are pairing up to win money for their charities – including the stars of “Everybody Loves Raymond,” “Scrubs” and “Full House.”

    “We got into neuroses. We get into all sorts of old wounds were opened. I didn’t even want to ask any questions because it was so funny watching them sit there and talk,” said Kimmel.

    “Kenan and Kel” hope to hit the jackpot on the show. But they are already winners when it comes to the fans.

    “When Ken and Kel walked out there, I’m not joking, the whole front row of the audience here started crying,” said Kimmel.

    But laughing has been a big part of the show. So has philanthropy.

    “It’s been very fulfilling so far. And people have made a lot of money. And you can tell when you talk to these people that, all joking aside, all game show aside, these charities mean a lot to them. When you ask somebody, ‘What is your favorite charity?’ you know, it hits home,” said Kimmel.

    I asked Jimmy what game night looks like at the Kimmel household.

    “I don’t like games. Maybe I shouldn’t be a game show host!” joked Kimmel. “I do love to play Scrabble. Unfortunately, no one will play with me ever because I just don’t ever lose. So, I love to play Scrabble. I like to play Boggle, sometimes by myself. But word games, I guess, are the games I go for.”

    I let him know those were my two favorite games.

    “Oh, I would love to play you.” said Kimmel. “Oh, just Pennacchio’s like a thousand points!”

    “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire” airs Wednesday nights on ABC.
