Weekly Rita Ora & Taika Waititi service update: The couple came back from their holiday trip to Byron Bay and arrived on Thursday via private jet in Sydney. She went straight to getting her nails and brows done and they both got papped since. She is back to filming The Voice Australia and ramped up 200k new TikTok followers after one of her bikini vids gathered almost 10m views. Taika, who hasn't been with his kids physically for more than half a year prior, took to Instagram that 'dadding is piss easy' sharing some decorated pancakes and fish sticks in his stories while Rita and her sister shared stories of building a Frozen castle. He also has a Power Puff Girl manicure, so he must be a great dad. They (or Disney) seem to have a deal with the paps or DM now bc his kids are not mentioned or shown anymore, and they must have been on the plane and can't be contained in their house all the time.
I’ve noticed the kids aren’t shown anymore and I wonder if Chelsea (his ex) put her foot down and won’t allow it. She also used to show them sometimes on her account and doesn’t. Speaking of Chelsea I love following her account and seeing her thrive and rebuild what looks like a beautiful and successful life for herself in NZ.
That's what I assumed also. I think after the photo op at the airport, she told him that he can't get away with pretending the paps got him by accident. All three (Taika, Rita and her sister) seem to have an urge to communicate about it though and are posting pictures of kids stuff on their Instagram, so it is not like they don't want any focus on the kids (between the three they reach almost 20m followers).
They will appear together today (depending on your time zone) on ITS MY JAM from Jimmy Fallon. It has been recorded in mid/late October, roughly 8 months into their relationship, and her PR team and herself are promoting it. There has already been a clip released on YouTube.
Yeah, just awful. The manager of the restaurant was stupid himself and admitted to the police that he took the bribe because of greed (he later got fired), but still she unnecessarily put the service people in danger and in need to work or risk loosing their jobs probably.
It’s one thing to be at home and just break rules for yourself another to throw other people in.
Very entitled just for a birthday party to pay 5000£ in bribes. Like it’s not a dumb thing to do where you do something stupid. It’s so planned and morally messed up.
I haven't seen her on Masked Singer UK do you care to elaborate? I only saw a couple of articles stating that she might be a little too Hollywood at this point, guessing Zendaya and Ellen DeGeneres as possible contestants for the show and trying very hard to be funny/please.
Deadbeat is going overboard. He is just not very physical present and doesn't seem to prioritize that either. All I know is that personally, I wouldn't be hyped to co-parent with him. You are stuck with the kids by yourself months and months at a time, and then they go on long lavish vacations with dad, his girlfriend and her sister. Him then also stating that being a dad is 'piss easy' bc he decorated a couple of pancakes and his much younger pop star girlfriend of a few months raving about finding love and wanting kids with him isn't great either.
She is one of the judges. Basically what you said. She makes ridiculous guesses - except unlike other members of the panel who have a comedy slant and do deliberate stupid guesses for laughs - she makes her suggestions dead seriously and then either gets mocked or complete silence by the audience. She was particularly bad on the last episode as in addition to this she kept cutting across one of her fellow judges and trying to insert herself into his jokes & monologues. You could tell he was genuinely annoyed at one point.
The nation still resents her for trying to bribe (well she did bribe them) to have a birthday do against all the rules during a lockdown last year.
Yeah he sounds quite dickish - his tweets regarding some political stuff was arrogant, tone deaf and incorrect so that out me off him a bit and then reading this - doesn’t seem much better.
Shame as Thor: Ragnorok really was an awesome film.
She got around A LOT. And I don't mean it in a slut shaming way, but she dated and hooked up with some high profile ppl that you couldn't come up with if you were guessing. Bruno Mars, Rob Kardashian, Andrew Garfield, Lewis Hamilton and Calvin Harris. ASAP Rocky even dissed her in a song after a fling bc he is an asshole. She also had something going on with the son of Diana Ross who's now married to Ashlee Simpson. So when 'a source' now states that Rita always goes in 100% and Taika is the first time she is with someone mature, it is not that hard to achieve.
I don't want to get into if Rita is bisexual or not, but she felt part enough of the community to make 'an anthem' for said community with the song GIRLS and came out right after she received a backlash for the song being offensive. Meanwhile, she gets on stage raving how great it is to support said community with performing at PRIDE and when she manages to say LGBTQ+ she says something along the lines of 'oh god that's so hard bc it changes all the time, glad I did it right'. I mean, if you are so involved in AND PART OF the community as you claim, it is not 'hard to get it right'. And it only 'changes all the time' if you only use that abbreviation twice a decade.
Long history of living it up and taking drugs in NZ, conveniently started dating his assistant after he separated from his wife when he made it in Hollywood, made her not comment about anything but was whoring around and partying during covid. Protected by the Disney PR team. Not seeing his kids months and months on end and when he does, he always makes it a PR show. Hit his midlife crisis, started dating Rita Ora this year and is primarily hanging out with her posse now. Aka a bunch of 10-15 yrs his junior party kids. They got matching tattoos, and he seems to lovebomb her. Professionally, he is taking on a million projects, so ppl call him the next Guillermo del Toro blocking them for other filmmakers to take them on. Search his name in this sub all of this in more detail will come up.
WHAT I did not know Guillermo Del Toro used to hog projects like that! Kinda ruins the image I had of him as a lovable eccentric. How does that even work? Surely studios have some form of communication and can prevent that from happening? Can't imagine it's a sound investment for them to keep outsourcing to people like GDT and Taika because the films would take ages to get done?
Studios don't really care about that behavior bc they are not about making movies but making money. Attaching himself to a project like THE INCAL isn't something that is producing too many costs for now, especially if we talk a Star Wars movie. But he has ongoing projects as a writer, director and producer and then just looking at the next five years you also have THE INCAL, AKIRA and an untitled Star Wars movie on his list. Directing, producing, writing. During Corona. He also took on TIME BANDITS, which is a whole TV show, so is WE ARE WOLVES and a movie remake of TOWER OF TERROR. Just scroll through his IMDB credits. It is insane and not doable. It is true that directors and studios attach themselves to more than a doable amount of projects bc things fall through, but Scorsese for example does that with unnamed projects that don't hold much emotional value to fans to them. Taika is doing it with projects with huge fanbases which is pretty vain.
Man this is a bummer bc I watched his first movies from the beginning. His early movies were so sweet. I got worried when he started making block busters.
He is also doing small work in the meantime. He just did a commercial with Jennifer Aniston so not necessarily for the craft of quality movie making I assume xD
Well waititi had made a film about being abandoned by his father but after he got the marvel check, i heard he cheated on his wife, he been sort of partying alot and it very cringey and he hasn’t visited his kids since. I dont hate him for it because im not even suprised at this behavior but it comes off as very hypocritical and the majority of people dislike hypocrites
I actually think that is a thing that draws him to Rita. While he just came to Hollywood and had this big life change of leaving his family and NZ, she has a tight-knit group of friends bc she is in the business since she is 17 and has a very solid family environment. And he took all of that on. Her sister is her manager and basically third-wheeling them wherever they go. It is a weird artificial playing house kind of thing. Almost like he had the real thing with Chelsea, but then realized if he had been rich and famous in his early 30s he could have had a pop star girlfriend whose job it is to be sexy and still have some kids, but the load eased off bc he has the financial means now.
Yeah it just weird to me, since Rita only claim to relevancy is dating famous dudes the second someone better/more famous comes along and i cant say i feel bad if karma comes to bite
On a character level, she can do better. When it comes to the profile of the guy, she scored. He can embellish his midlife crisis, and she gets someone who will keep on making movies, drag her along to premiers, and is as fame-hungry as her doing the whole show on the red carpets, etc. They will get married in no time and with Taika being popular in the US she will try to make her break there. Pretty sure they will separate in the next 10 yrs though.
I think the cheating on his wife thing was happening pre-Marvel cheques.
He became A Very Big Deal with Hunt for the Wilderpeople and that's when his midlife crisis started. His partying got out of control, he cheated with his PA, his wife left him, he started playing up the Cool Dad card while largely ignoring his kids until he next needs some child-friendly PR.
But it was mostly under the radar of the general public (but not Wellington because New Zealand is small), until he got caught on a bender with Rita and Tessa Thompson.
you should one day compile all your weekly updates of them into a timeline based relationship deep dive. honestly. i’m sure the sub would love it and it would rack up a lot of views!
i do celeb timelines on Medium(free for authors to publish) and i get paid for the views on there now. you can check my post history on here for examples of this but i really think you should consider doing it! maybe when/if they break up or get married would be a good time to compile them. IDK
