I am Liz Kelly. I'm Kate Hallowell, and I'm Amelia Weddemeier. Today we're making some very bold predictions for the coming year.

We're almost done with the hellscape that was 2018. And we're going to just will some things into existence for 2019. Exactly. Okay, let's spell the tea. Okay, category number one. Tea Times feuds of 2019. You guys, who is going to be feuding in the new year? Okay, so I was trying to think of who is going to really want to be relevant in 2019,

which I think is where all feuds kind of start. That's true. And Katie Perry immediately came to mind because Katie Perry isn't relevant anymore and would very much like to be. And I think she'll just pick like a young. pop star to feud with. Like who? Like easy prey. So like the first person

who came to mind was Bibi Rexa. Poor Bibi. Okay, who is that exactly? That's a great question. She had, she was on, well, okay, you know, I think you don't know. No, she's got a ton of hits. Does she?

She really does more than Katie Perry this year. She has the one with Florida Georgia Line, the... Yeah. And she's got... Oh, that. And the song about like, my therapist says it's going to be a good, good life?

What? I'm not gonna sing it. You can't make me sing it. Okay. Anyway, the fact that you don't know means that she also isn't relevant. That's true. So like easy prey for like a feud.

I was also thinking like Halsey or like Rita Oara. Yeah. Oh my God. I'm so in. Katie Perry orita Oroof feud. Like how has that not happened yet? I feel like Katie Perry is kind of bored

at the moment. Her and Orlando Bloom are kind of rock solid as it turns out. Right. She's like not doing a ton in her career at the moment. She made up with that. Taylor Swift.

Right. Yeah. She needs something to write songs about. Yeah. She needs fresh blood. Yes. Okay, Amelia, who's your pick? So I'm going to go with the Azalea Banks versus another tech giant.

Evan Spiegel and Miranda Kerr. Evan Spiegel is the bro-y kind of gross Snapchat founder. Miranda Kerr is a... Speaking of Orlando Bloom. Oh, my God, yeah. And Miranda Kerr, as we know, is Orlando Bloom's X. Sure. Also, maybe hooked up with Justin Bieber.

What a... Do you remember that? Do you guys remember that? When was that? Oh, my God. Liz. Okay. Because that was when Orlando Bloom punched Justin Bieber.

To the applause of Leonardo DiCaprio and Lindsay Lohan in Ibiza. What? Yes. Yeah. There's like video. There is. What year are we talking about? I think it's, I want to say like 2015.

Yeah, that feels right. Something like that. It was incredible. Yeah. There's like video. He like walks up and says something at him like at a table about like. And I think there's like these big bodyguards trying to hold back. And Orlando Bloom just like goes for him.

Yeah. That's amazing. I know, seriously. But yeah, that feels right. Yeah. I don't know what exactly. It's going to happen, but is it going to happen over social media or like in person? I think it's going to be in person.

She has a skincare line and I'm feeling that Azalea might do something. What? I don't know. Is she? Is she? Like a launch party? Yeah. Or like, you know, it's like supposed to be organic and natural.

She could like ingest something incorrectly. I don't know. Does Azealia have something against tech guys specifically? Like, is she, like, marking them off a list? Like, what is her deal with? I don't. I think they're just, like, it's weird. So she had the run-in with Elon Musk and Grimes.

Right. And she was at their house for, like, two days. Something like that. And then she recently had Jack Dorsey of Twitter send her beard clippings to make an amulet to ward off ISIS. Oh, yeah, I saw that. So maybe the thing is just like tech guys are weird and they'll feud with anyone. Sure. And they have a lot of money.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That's fair. I accept that for you. Okay, Liz. What's your. What's your prediction?

Okay, my feud. So in 2018, Jennifer Lawrence feuded for some unknown reason with Lala Kent of Vanderpomper rules. She did. And basically how that started was she called her the C word. And then it turned it into this big thing. So I'm predicting it's going to be Jennifer Lawrence versus like any kind of DZ list reality star. Like Mike the situation. Maybe she says something about his prison rhyme.

I would love that. Snookies on the table. Who else did I write? Oh, Kate Galson maybe? I would love that. She has not done anything in a very long time. But I feel like Jennifer Lawrence just kind of runs her mouth. It's true.

And she goes on these talk shows kind of tipsy and then says things that maybe she regrets. So I feel like it could be anybody in the reality sphere. I love that. Yeah. Well, she's bored too, right? I don't know what she's doing. She like, again, is in a stable relationship with an S&L guy. The world is her oyster.

She can say basically whatever she wants. So I feel like she's fearless. Right. I love that. Okay, great. Four minutes is up. Next category. 2019 wedding bells.

Okay, you guys, who is going to get married this year? Amelia, go for it. Okay, honestly, I really don't have any predictions. I just put one down. I was like, The Weekend and Bella Hadid. They look happy. They look happy, but they're... Okay, I think I kind of am with this because Bella Hadid is, like, surrounded by friends who are, like, wifed up.

Yes. Like, Gigi and Zane are, like, not married, but, like, super in love. Right. And then... Haley and the Bebes. Haley and the Bebes, who, like, maybe we'll get married or, like, maybe break up. Well, more on that later. Right.

But, like, I feel like she is surrounded by people who will, like, make her want to, like, lock him down. But don't you think Gigi and Zane would get married before they would? Because they're super serious. They're kind of on and off, though. Yeah, aren't Bella Hadee in the weekend, too? Just because she went on his world tour doesn't mean that they're about to-lid down. Oh, my God. What if they had a double wedding?

Oh, my God. It would be in their countryside with all their horses. Yes, I mean a lot of potty time. A lot of horses. At their stables. Yes. Yes, and he took the pictures and put them on, like, his Instagram. Yeah, they love their country homes.

So funny. No, I don't see this for 2019. I see this where, like, very, very far in the future. Sure. I say Gigi and Zane would get married first. But I like your thought process. Thank you. You're right.

There's an age group of, like, 19 and, like, 21-year-olds that are like eight-list, either models, celebrities in some way, who suddenly think that they're like 37. Right. And think that they need to get married, have a baby. Yeah. And buy houses together. And start makeup company businesses. I don't like how much they're thinking as their future.

When I was 19, I wasn't thinking like two days in advance. Yeah, they're like very serious about these relationships. Yeah. Okay. My wedding bell prediction is Katie Holmes and Jamie Fox. Yes. They've been dating for now upwards of five fucking years. Crazy.

This is, if they've weathered all of her weird silentology stuff. Yes. And honestly, Strait Cruz's hardest years, which was like 8 to 11. Like, those are difficult ages to raise like a young girl. I feel like this is their time. They're finally being photographed publicly. Yes. They're going to Paris a lot.

I feel like it could happen in like a secret ceremony. I love that. That feels right. I still, I saw a tweet this week where it was like, all I want for Christmas is like to know what Katie Holmes and Jamie Fox talk about. I mean, agreed. I don't know what I say. I still. I think about that relationship and I can't believe it exists.

It's wild. I agree. What is their dinner like between? I really think like it reflects well on both of them. Like I like him more for being with her and I like her more for being with him. Yeah, I'm still. You know? And also I'm ready for her to shed whatever past identity she had of Tom Cruise.

Like he is so not on my radar, even though he's like still an A-less celebrity. But like I'm choosing not to think about him. I'm choosing to think about her. And I want this to happen. Yeah. No, I like that. I like that. Agreed.

Like I think that's one of our predictions that could actually happen. I know. Really know. I'm kind of confident of all the things I'm about to say. I think. But where would be the wedding? I feel like it's got to be secret enough where. Yeah, maybe like the French countryside.

Oh, that sounds nice. You know? Yeah, that's a good idea. Okay, so just super quick, maybe J-Lo and A-Rod. That's another one I think could potentially definitely happen. Definitely happening in Miami. Just because they're so extra. They have so many kids.

They do. Yeah. It could happen. Any other quick ones that you think will happen that are like locked down? We talked about maybe Miley and Liam secretly already being married? Who knows? I'm like already over them. I'm just like, okay.

Don't start. The fire only brought them closer together. Oh, my God. They will rebuild. that home together and I can get married as soon as construction is done. That's like a Nicholas Sparks movie. Oh my God. And they already were. They met. They met. It's destiny. There's no celebrity couple. I take that back. I take that back. You just convinced me. No time at all. You just get, well, the Nicholas Sparks connection. I didn't, I forgot. They're going to rebuild

that. I love it. She's in a really glam, like, part of her life. All of her tours for her Mark Ronson song, like she's been looking amazing. Yeah. And she's shedding her dead pets. I like this. I could talk about. that forever, but we're going to move on. Tea time. Who do you think will be the biggest breakup of 2019? Amelia, we're going to start with you. Okay, so I'm going out on limb and I'm saying, Timothy Chalamee is going to leave Lily Rose Depp, Johnny's daughter, for Eliza Scanlon, who he is co-starring with in the Greta Gerwig remake of Little Women. And they were photographed, and it was posted on Emma Watson's Instagram, and they were very close. I love this. We're going to

talk more about little women later. Eliza Scanlon was in Sharp Objects this year with Amy Adams on HBO. She plays like this little psychopath. And I love it. I love her first fall. She's so talented. I don't like Lily Rose Depp, which means that I like she and Timmy better. Do you think Timmy and Lily Rose Depp are a sham to begin with?

No. Okay. Because like why would he be with her in the first place? I think he's Johnny James' daughter. I think he kind of has like bad 21-year-old boy taste. Is he 21? He's like around that age. He's close.

He's close enough. Right. I think he is young enough and like new enough at this that like he does like this pretty little girl who's Johnny Depp's daughter. It's quite difficult for me to talk about him without having my own personal bias being like she's horrible. Anyone he will date in the future is horrible.

He's fine. That's fair. And I don't think I have a bias, Lily Rose Depp next. I'm done with it. I don't want it. Also, can we go back to the fact that you just said Timothy Talmey's fine? Did you say that? Well, I mean, like, I think he's a great actor.

I mean, personally, I'm okay. Yeah, it's fine. Dangerous territory here. I know, Kate, I mean, we could go in certain categories for a million years. Timothy Shalameh is evergreen for both me and Kate, right? Uh-huh. Okay, but I guess we're moving on. But yeah, I like that.

I like him with her. I like him with Eliza's Galen. Yeah. Nobody's good enough for him. Yeah, no, no one. Kate, who will break up? My prediction is that Baldwin and Bebes are going to break up in 2019. So they just went too fast, too much too soon.

I know they've been together for a while. But they were off. They were off. And, like, they just, it's just not going to last. It's like the new Pete Davis and Ariana Grande. Yeah. Like, they're everywhere. But they actually got married.

Yeah. They actually did, right? They're already. Yeah. She changed her. I think that's, I think, next six months, that's, that's done. Six months? Yeah.

Yeah. Do they have a party first or a ceremony where they invite all their friends? Are they planning on that now? I don't know. I don't know. I think we'll just continue to see pictures of them walking around. And weeping, openly weeping in public areas? Yeah.

They're an emotional couple. They're extremely young. I want them to last. I am. I wish them both the best. I don't see it happening. Right. Okay.

That's fair. That's how I feel. Okay. Mine, you know, in the beginning where we were like, these are not educated guesses. They're just things we're willing to happen. Right. This, I want more than anything in 2019.

And that is for Gwen Stefani to finally fucking break up with Blake Shelton. Yes. I hate this celebrity couple. And I love, love, and I wish everyone the best in general. But like, there's something about the two of them. them that make me so irrationally mad. Yeah. They're weird.

They're just weird. Yeah. Plus, he belongs with Miranda Lambert. We deserve more albums to come out of that couple. Who do you want more for in this relationship? Do you want better for her or better for him? Better for her.

Okay, good. I like Gwen. I think she's really cool. I like her too. She's got, I mean, he's got the voice, but like I feel like she has a second chapter coming of something else. Oh, yeah. I want to see happen.

And I feel like she's just going to get bogged down with like marriage and whatever he's doing. And she's like, yeah, she's cool. he is like a Midwestern mom favorite. And I say that as a mom and a dad who both are obsessed with Lake Shelton. Yeah. I mean, he's fine. Yeah, he's not cool enough for her. He's so.

He's so cool. Yeah. She's so cool. She's still looking so good. I know. 100%. Her abs are still amazing. Yeah.

And she can do so much better. I want her to be with like a cool art dealer or something. Like industry adjacent, but like not fucking Blake Shelton. He's such a fun. Yeah. Okay. Fine. 2019 events we cannot wait for.

Amelia, do you want to start? Sure, yes. Okay, so I have a couple. Well, obviously, the annual Casamigos Halloween party. Amelia looks forward to this. That's my shit. From November 1st. I want an invitation.

I'm just saying that right now, so if anyone could invite me, that would be great. Put it out into the universe. Exactly. This is what 2019 is all about. Exactly. That's the year of the secret. Yeah, so the annual Casamigos Halloween party, all the A-listers. I love it.

Who went last year? Or who went in 2018? It was like Noah Centenio. No. Sincereo was there. Big get for him. Zoe Kravitz. You've got like the Gerber Crawford family. Right.

Sure. Beautiful. George Clooney, you know, because he like kind of owns the room. He's that guy. Yeah. That guy, you know, a mall, I think, went this year too. Wow. Yeah.

Yeah. So a lot of big names. It's big. It's worth looking forward to 10 months in advance. Thank you. Yes. Amelia, if you were to go to this Castamagos Halloween party, would you do like popular pop culture reference, like, I don't know, a star is one would you dress as, what's her name,

Ali or whatever, that person is? I think I would. You would? Something funny, like Nina Dobrov. Yeah, she didn't. Yeah, and she's thinking of. Yes, exactly. That's funny.

Instead of, like, a vampire or something? I think so, yeah. Okay. Like the topical funny costume? Topical funny. That's the way to go. But the problem with the topical funny is you have to really commit because all these celebrities have, like, actual professional help to, like, paint stuff on their face

and, and, like, hunt around L.A. for costumes. That is true. I respect your choice. Thank you. Kate, what are you looking forward to, 2019. I'm looking forward to the Met Gala because Harry Stiles is co-hosting with Serena Williams and Lady Gaga. That's amazing. And the theme is camp. And it's going to be fucking amazing. He's going to wear something incredible. They're both going to wear something incredible. It's going to be

ugly and flamboyant and hideous and amazing. And I truly can't wait. Okay, I accept that. I mean, I have like no further comments. This is like your corner entirely. Thank you. It's just, it's going to be amazing. Who do you want to see? Like dressed like, campy. Yeah. Other than those three people. Yeah. You know, I always like when like somebody who, like, fuck the models who will, like, show up in a pretty dress no matter what.

Like, I always like to see the people who, like, you don't really know who they are, but they go for it anyway. Yeah. Like, just like the fringe kind of like be-less actors. That's who I like to see. The coming out of couples at the Met Gallup is like a real statement. Yeah. Like, now it's funny that we're talking about Haley Bieber, but Haley Baldwin and Sean Mendez when they showed up together. Yeah.

And she had that beautiful, like, light pink hair. That was literally this year, right? Yeah. It looks fabulous. That's insane. I know. That's when you know it's going too fast. She was just photographed with them.

But that was great. And then even Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott being photographed for like as a couple, as a unit for the first time. Yeah. Both like doing the most fashion-wise. Yeah. It's a great event for that. Yeah. Liz, what are you looking forward to?

This is the lowest brow thing I'm going to say all episode. I hope. Go for it. The event I am most looking forward to in 2019 is the end of the Kardashian-Gener app era. These people have, I don't know, hired full-time staff to run these apps for the last, like, decade of their lives. I can't tell you how frustrating is going on Courtney Kardashian's Instagram and being like, oh, I do want a recipe for like machoscones or dairy-free and sugar-free. And then it takes me to the fucking app store. And you have to pay, like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

The prices are absurd. I have, thank God, never opening. Aren't the prices, like, weekly prices? Yes. Yes. And then all their Instagram stories are just shilling this app, which makes zero sense to me. I want free content. Right.

I want more of them, I hate to say, but I want it for free. I'm not willing to pay for it. Do you have any of the apps? No, what do you think I am? I'm sorry. I had to check. In their official statement, I have it, it says we have made the difficult decision to no longer continue updating 2019. This was a staff meeting that Chris Jenner was like, who the fuck is looking at this app?

Shut it down. No one's clicking on Chloe Kardashian. Oh, God. So I'm excited for that. That's great. That's a big one. That is the end of era. I'm going to be forced to publish other things on other.

type of platforms that hopefully I will not have to pay for. Wow. Yeah, I'm into it. Wow. Next category is comeback time. Who in 2019, do we want to see succeed, thrive, be back in the spotlight, but for good, not for bad. Kate?

Okay, so I was going to say Misha Barton, just as a fun thought experiment. Can you imagine? She's on the hills, you know. Yeah. The reboot. I just, that was fun to think about for like 30 seconds. then I was like, that's not going to happen. What does that comeback look like?

I truly don't know. Like a sitcom? Like some... She's honest... No. No. No. No.

No. No. Like some... You know, I'm into that. That's as far as I could see it going. It's like... Okay. Yeah.

And then my real one is Adele. Like, we as a nation and as a world, we need some new Adele. We just do. I feel like we're due. I don't know anything about the music industry, so I don't know if she's actually going to have an album out next year.

But we need one. We do. And her child. now is a couple years old at least. Oh, right. That was when she took her big hiatus was when she was born. He's got to be like four. Yeah.

Yeah. Like solidly toddler. So like, he's fine. Like, go in the recording studio. Leave him on his own for a while. Agreed. She said a husband. Exactly.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I bet she is working on some stuff. I think so too. I think we're just, we're due. But those songs, I love her emotional sappy shit. And she's very happy at the moment, which is. But like, I don't know what those songs look like now.

Me either. We'll see. Yeah, fingers crossed. I would love to find out in 2019. I'm into that. That's what I want. All right, Amelia. I'm going to say Brad Pitt.

Like, he went away. I hate this. Lizzie, shaking your head. He went away because of all the, you know, the drama. For good reason. Okay. And I think he's going to come back with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. This reminds me of the time, like, a couple of years ago when he actually broke up with Angelian Jolie.

And then we didn't hear from him. And then he arrived, like, at the Oscars or the Golden or the Golden Globes to present, like, this is moonlight because it was produced by Plan B, his production company. Right. And everyone, I mean, maybe I'm remembering this wrong, but, like, everyone gave him, like, a standing ovation. They were like, Brad, he's bad. I was just like, wow, this is one of the biggest nights of my life. This is incredible.

Speaking of dating people outside of the industry, like you wanted for Gwen Spani. There was that brief period where he was dating, like, Neri Oxman, that professor. Yes. With the beautiful curly hair. Gorgeous. I was like, this is what more. celebrities should do is like these amazing academics who are like way

hotter than like they have any right to be but also like like way smarter. Yeah. Like I liked him better when that was happening. Yeah. Agreed. I don't know how that he'll continue that trend. I Yeah, no I don't have faith in that but I like really enjoyed that. Because I think he was seen with like a crystal healer or something. Oh my God. Oh I'm into that.

That's cool. A crystal healer? Yeah, I think so. He needs healing so the more the merrier, honestly. Okay, the person I want to see make a comeback. And he's on his way, kind of. He's like baby steps to hear. But it's John Mayer. I have such a spot in my heart for him. He's doing these Instagram TV shows called Current Mood, which I watch obsessively. And I feel like he took a long time off because he was like notorious womanizer. It's not a great guy.

I feel like he's in his mid-40s now. He's learned. And he's ready. Yeah. And he's about to go on tour with the Grateful Dead this summer. And I feel like he should reinsert himself in the conversation. He's He's so talented. He's funny. He's so funny. So cute. I want it. I really, really want it.

You know what's great from him is he always looks great when he like supports other musicians. Yeah. Like he like came out and like played guitar with Sean Mendez at like an Apple music event. Just like came out jammed for a couple minutes. Yeah. Was in like a sweatshirt. It was like, keep doing your thing, bro. And then like went away.

And I was like, that was great. He didn't have to do that. Yeah. And he's been so supportive of Maggie Rogers is. Yes. Yes. Really amazing up and coming artist who just performed on SNL. I guess she's like up and coming.

But I feel. I feel like he has kind of taken like a side, like has been in the industry still, but not in the forefront. Yeah. And I want more of him. Yeah. The other person is Selena Gomez, who we just recently saw for the first time in Malibu. Yeah. She looks great.

Yeah. She was showing off her abs. Yeah. Which looked great. Which they looked amazing. She looked tan. Like, good for you. Yeah, she looked beautiful, healthy.

She hasn't posted on Instagram since mid-September. And I know that she's doing that for her own benefit, but I love her. She's such a light. And I also want her to find someone who's not the weekend and not Justin Bieber. Right. New. Literally that's it. Anyone else.

Literally the bar is low. Find anybody else. Noah Centineo has been hitting on her actually via Instagram. Did you see that? Yes. If there's going to be anyone for him, do it. I'm down with that. I'm sure.

Yeah. Go Selena. Please come back in 2019. Yes. Okay. Next category. I know you guys have a lot to say on this in particular. These are the biggest movies of the year.

Kate, do you want to start? I would love to. My most anticipated movie of 2019, we mentioned it earlier. It's Little Women. Greta Gerwig is directing. It's going to be a Lady Bird reunion. It's Sir Sharonan. It's playing Joe.

Florence Pue, I believe, is Beth. Eliza Scanlon's Amy. And then Emma Watson is Meg. Laura Dern's the mom. Merrill Streep's in there. She's the aunt. Timothy Chalameh's Lori. If you guys, you guys are giving me blank stares,

which I feel like you need to fucking watch little women. Oh my gosh. What is even it about? It's them on the prairie. It's about little women. They're not on the prairie. Oh, my God. They're in New England.

Oh, my God. It's about love and life and little women. But what does that mean? Is it just an ensemble cast? Is it a drama? What genre is it? It's like a drama. It's about these sisters, you know, growing up.

I've seen the, like, paparazzi photos. It looks horrible. Oh, my God, I'm literally going to kill you. You need to watch the girls. the Winona writer, Christian Bale. It's actually a good movie. That's a good movie. It's so good. I love Christian Bail. Yes. You love Timothy Chalemate. Are you not going to see it just for him?

And they're playing the same role. Oh my God, really? The stars are aligned. Maybe I'm turning as we speak. Okay, fine, fine, fine. It's going to be amazing. And, wow, I just feel really betrayed right now. But it's fine. Whatever. I'm going to go see it by myself and tell you guys all about it. Okay, please. Amelia, what movie are you looking for to? Okay, so I'm not really looking forward to, other than once upon a time in Hollywood. But it's more of like, here are my predictions for movies.

Sure. Okay. So Disney has been coming out with a lot of live action stuff. They've been, you know, repurposing all their movies. And I think they're going to announce a couple more. And I think we're going to get like a CGI, Mr. Toad, Wind in the Willows thing going on. Maybe John Fabro will direct, I don't know. That sounds terrifying.

That sounds like nightmare fuel. But can't you see it? Like, just like this Toad. I can see it and I'm going to have nightmares about it. Okay, well, it's a beloved classic. It is a beloved children's book. What about the other classics like Moulon, Anastasia? That's coming.

Yeah. Anastasia's not Disney. But Milan is coming. It is coming. Lion King's coming next year. Yeah. And I have one more prediction. It's a Pete Davidson remake of Pinocchio with him as Pinocchio.

Oh, my God. I'm trying to picture that's so hard. That's also a nightmare fuel for me. It's a very dark version of events. And just like, it's just like very, like a dark movie to begin with. Yeah. Yeah. And you just, he's like fueled by whatever's going on in his life.

And he just brings it to a performance. Is it like an indie or is it? No. It could mean any if it was Disney. Yeah. It's. Huh. It wouldn't be.

You know, I could see it. Or I could just see like an SNL sketch where like they're like. He kind of looks. They're like, Disney looks like. He looks like. Yeah. He looks like. Next up.

I want to watch that instead. I choose Kate. Yeah. Choose that idea. A four minute. A four minute comedic version. Yeah. Liz, really quick.

What do you want to see? What movie are you looking forward to? This is another incredibly lowbrow answer. But a movie is coming out in 2019 called Isn't It Romantic? Uh-huh. And it's with Liam Hemsworth, who is my number one celebrity crush till I die. Wow. Rebel Wilson, I don't love, and she is the star of this movie.

But I have high hopes because Liam Hemsworth has, like, not been in a movie since the last song, which you talked about earlier. It's been a long time. And it looks kind of in the same vein as, like, New Year's Eve, which is not great. But I like rom-coms. I am hopeful for Liam Hemsworth. I am willing it to be good. I think Rebel Wilson is funny. And the Hemsworths are, like, Chris Hemsworth is really funny.

Yeah. So, like, he could be, Liam could be really funny. We don't know. Right. Also, Betty Gilpin's in it. Love her. There are a lot of really good people. Priyanka Chopra's in it.

Sure. It feels like a better execution than some of the rom-coms, like the big blockbuster rom-coms that have come out, especially in the last year. Yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to that. Yeah. Oh, great. That went over so much better than it. Yeah, unlike little women.

I thought I was going to have to convince you guys. Great, yes, let's all go watch. Isn't it romantic? Okay, this is a category, Kate is kind of an expert in. It is our official Chris watch. In 2019, Kate, break it down. What other Chris is going to do? I would love to.

Okay, so the four Hollywood chrises, as we know, Hemsworth, Evans, Pratt, and Pine. Pray for Chris O'Dowd, my favorite. I know. There are a lot of other ones that honestly deserve probably Pratt's spot, but just for the, you know, this is the canon of Chris's. Just real quick, we're going to run through Chris Watch. Hemsworth, I think, is going to be the top Chris in 2019.

Agreed. Yeah. He's got The Last Avengers movie. He has a beard in The Last of Enders movie. Evans does not, so that automatically puts Chris on top. Or, excuse me, Hemsworth on top. And he's got the trailer for Men and Black International came out today. Looks fun.

Looks fucking great. It does it looks great. It looks really good. Again, he's really funny. He does really well in funny roles. And I think that's going to be huge. So I think Chris Hemsworth is going to win Chris Wars 2019. But will he divorce?

his wife. This was something Amelia floated. It's a lot, it's, I hope not. I'm sad because I kind of see it. There are some signs, I think. Can you imagine long distance from Los Angeles to Australia? It's complicated, but their children are beautiful. They are.

He's going to be fine. They're going to be fine. Yeah. He's going to do great. He's making into existence. Yes. What are the other Chris is doing? Evans shaved his beard, so that's, you know, that's tough.

It's his last parents is Captain America. But I think he's going to get back together. with Jenny Slate. Agreed. So that'll be good. He's going to be like a serious actor, like capital S, capital A. Eke. And he's going to get back together with her and he's going to be like privately good but like

professionally like not great. That's how I do. Interesting. The professionally not, emphasis on the professionally not great. Yeah. No offense. Yeah. I think I think it's going to be a tough year for him.

I don't see him getting back together with Jenny Slate. As much as I would love that. I just think they're done. Okay. That's fair. But people can't stay away from Jenny Slate. Jenny Slate has this weird magnetic. It's true.

I love that. I respect that and I love it. She's great. But I just don't see them. She's thinking another A-list. I mean, he's bound to be connected with someone in the next year. It's too big of a year for him not to like. Right, right.

I mean, Ariana Grande is available. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Okay, speaking of Chris's dating. Pratt's dating Catherine Schwarzenegger, which is like a whole thing. But he has a lot of weird-ass movies coming out that I know Liz was wanting to talk about. I called dibs on this because I kind of personally hate Chris Pratt for really no good reason. Same.

So I was looking up, because I don't know too much about him, so I was on his IMBD Pate. IMDB. Yep. And he has got probably the worst title, like slate of movie titles coming out in the next couple years. Okay. So the first one, the Lego Movie 2, the second part, fine, those movies are good, but like, yeah. Okay, that's a throwaway. Second one, coming out in 2019, it's called The Kid.

Okay, fine, it gets worse. Third one is called Onward. That's in pre-production, a throwaway. These are the last two. Jurassic Park 3 Absolutely not And the last one Cowboy Ninja Viking

It's like they took like a fucking scrambler And just took like three action words That are in every other action movie We're like boys will go see this movie If you include one of these words Yes exactly Cowboy Ninja Viking Are you kidding me?

Yeah it's tough He also is probably going to be Either at Cowboy Ninja or Viking And I don't want to see any of those I don't want to see him in any of those three I agree Yeah At least of all a Viking

Again? No. Well, no, he can't. He's too egotistic. I mean, once you get that body, I don't know that he'd be like, yeah, he'd put back on 50 pounds. No. No. And then Pine's the last one. It's going to be a man year for him too. He's got Wonder Woman, but he's going to be in like a TV show. It looks kind of bad. I think it's going to be like Pratt and Hemsworth kind of dukeing it out for like professionally the biggest year. Yeah. And I think Hemsworth is no question going to come out on top. Who is the best personal year you think in 2019? Oh, Hemsworth, right?

Oh, wait. Wait, wait, wait, sorry, sorry. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, I think Evans. I like the Evans and Slate comeback. Yeah, I feel good about that. Yeah, also, like, I feel like he needs time off, like mentally. Like, he's very open about, like, being, like, very anxious sometimes.

Yeah. So, I think a break for him will be good. Yeah. I have a good year. Special shout out, Chris O'Dad. I don't know what you're doing in 2019, but I wish you the best. Yeah. I hope he has new roles.

God bless. Chris O'Dad. Yeah. Okay. Our final category of the podcast. This is time for, like, your most outlandish. insane thoughts, which we all have a lot of. This is T-Times'

craziest 2019 predictions. Kate, do you want to start? I can, and because you just said Outlandish, I'm going to make mine more Outlandish on the fly. Amazing. They're going to make a wicked movie starring Ariana Grande. As which one? As Alphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West.

Really? She's too small. My original prediction was that she's going to go on Broadway, which I feel like is too likely. It's like too educated. Like, that's inevitable. Ariana Grady is going to go on Broadway, whether it's this year or following years. Doesn't it take a lot of, I guess, I mean, she has insane discipline. It's going to be like Emma Stone doing cabaret.

Like, they do like a month. Yeah. They do some shows. Isn't she touring in the news? I was going to say, you think she's going to bounce a huge ass sweetener tour? I think she's going to get cast. They've been doing this wicked movie forever. It was like Liam Michelle.

It was Anna Kendrick. They've had all these names attached to it, all of which were like kind of bad, like not a great fit. Yeah. And so I think they're committed to like doing a big name over someone who like would actually fit, I think Ariana Grande is going to be the next name attached. Well, she, I don't think, can give up the tanner that

I mean, she looks beautiful, but like, she has now had that look of like insane sub-tanner for so many years. Yes. I don't know that I see her in green, but I see her bedazzled in green, like a ton of green diamonds. But she did, okay, not that I like creep on her profile so much, but she did have a Twitter profile for a while where she was wearing like green lipstick.

That doesn't mean shit. She just wore, she also just wore green lipstick at the wicked. They did like a special wicked thing. And she was great. And she was great. And she was great. And she was great. That's my prediction. Take it or leave it, Liz Kelly. I take it only because I love her voice. And I would die for that soundtrack. Yeah. Do you have a crazy 2019 prediction, Amelia? It's more so just like I hope that Ryan Reynolds goes away forever. Like we cancel Ryan Reynolds. Yeah, we cancel him. Like I don't care what he does. What did he do to you? He just sucks. I just am really not advantage.

I support that, actually. But, like, if you're a fan, that's fine. I'm, you know what? But you're hoping that he won't have fans because he'll, like, something will come out. Yeah, because he's, like, not funny. Like his stick. Nothing terrible. He just does something that makes people turn on it.

Exactly. His chick is kind of tired. It's very, yeah. It really is. But if he goes down, the Blake lively goes down, and then there are two small children go down. Okay, that's not necessarily true. If he goes down, then his marriage falls apart and then she, you know what I mean? They have money, though.

They'll be fine. They do. Also, also, I'm not sure that any. anything bad has ever happened to Blake Liley. So maybe weathering a storm. Right. Wait, her website did get shut down.

Oh, that's true. Her failed like goop. Yeah. She wanted to be goop. But she couldn't come for the ground. Yeah. Oh, she couldn't go. Oh, my God.

I agree. I do think that goop's amazing. Okay. My 2019 prediction that I think is actually pretty realistic, but it would be an insane thing to happen is that Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott not only get married, but they get pregnant with baby number. number two, whether or not that baby is born in this year.

Boy or girl? Let's say boy. Okay. Because who not? Sure. Sure. I feel as though they have been more solid than I could have ever possibly thought in this last year. Yeah.

Stormy is so fucking cute. And they're obsessed with her, obsessed with each other right now. She is basically following him on this Astro World Tour. Right. And they have a legitimate family. Yeah. So, like, cute. She shots to Kylie.

Right. To the baby. She just bought another like $16 million home. So they now have so many family homes with like 12 bedrooms in them. I think they're getting, they have the fever. Fill that shit up. Yeah, totally. Yeah.

And they kind of are like, we know how to make it work because I don't know how much help they have. You know it's upwards of 20 people. Right. But I kind of like it. I feel like she's now a mom. Yeah. Totally. That feels right.

I can see that happening. Do you think any of the other ones are going to have other children? Next year? Yeah. I'm going to say no. Just because there were so many. like in the past year. I feel like Courtney wants to pop up, pop out one more before she like,

you think? Hits the big four of it. Wait, this is a good question. Do you think that Scott and Sophia? Oh my God. Break up? No. Well, no, because they've been together for like what?

Two years? I know, but then Courtney Kardashian can't have his baby. And she has said that she only wants his baby. Okay. Well, you guys are looking at me and I'm just over here thinking about little women. I don't know anything about the Kardashians. I'm willing it into existence. For who?

Courtney Kardashian? Yes. Okay, great. Because I don't like Sophia Ritchie and Scott together, obviously. Agreed. And, like, I know he's problematic, but he's funny. I love him. Thank you.

And that is a problem. That's another worst thing in. Okay, we covered every category. We did. Who knows how many? I bet maybe one of these things will come true in the year. I would be thrilled if one of these things came true. Yeah, just one.

Literally one. I would be like, hell yeah. It's going to be the little woman thing, and I hate that. It's not going to be any of mine. My prediction is that Liz Kelly is going to watch Little Women in 2019 and love it. It'll be a new Liz Kelly bad opinion. And apologize to me. Liz's worst take.

Cheers to 2019. Who knows what the fuck's going to happen? It'll be better in 2018. Yeah, for sure. No matter what. Thank you so much for listening. This is Tea Time. Again, I'm Liz Kelly.

I'm Kate Hallowell. And I'm Amelia O'Demeier. We will see you in 2019.
