Aussie star lands big role in The Devil Wears Prada 2: report

News.com.aua day ago
A popular Aussie star has reportedly joined the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada in a very significant role.
Patrick Brammall, 49, best known as Gordon in Colin From Accounts, is set to play the love interest for Anne Hathaway's Andy Sachs.
Entertainment Weekly broke the news earlier this week after previously reporting that Andy's boyfriend from the 2006 original, Nate (Adrien Grenier), would not be in the long-awaited sequel.
Brammall is yet to confirm the news.
In the almost 20 years since The Devil Wears Prada was released, Nate has become an increasingly controversial character, with many agreeing his attitude toward Andy's career made him the real villain of the story.
Grenier has since addressed the backlash himself, telling EW he understood the negativity toward Nate.
'When that whole thing [about Nate being the 'real villain' of the film] first came out, I couldn't get my head around it. I didn't understand it. Perhaps it was because I wasn't mature as a man, just as Nate probably could've used a little growing up,' he said in June 2021.
'I was just as immature as him at the time, so I couldn't see his shortcomings, but, after taking time to reflect and much deliberation online, I can realise the truth in that perspective. Nate hadn't grown up, but Andy had … she needed more out of life, and she was achieving it.
'He couldn't support her like she needed because he was a fragile, wounded boy,' Grenier said of his controversial character. 'On behalf of all the Nates out there: Come on! Step it up.'
In The Devil Wears Prada, Andy and Nate break up after repeatedly clashing over priorities as her career skyrockets, but later reconnect – seemingly as friends – when they meet up after she finally quits her job.
Joining the cast along with Brammall is My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend 's Rachel Bloom, Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux and B.J. Novak, although details of their roles have been kept quiet.
Meanwhile, original stars Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci were previously confirmed to reprise their roles.
According to Variety, the sequel 'follows Priestly as she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing and as she faces off against Blunt's character, now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs.'

Israel's not-so-secret nuclear weapons

It's widely accepted that Israel has nuclear weapons. How many? Well, it's impossible to know because to this day the Israeli government has never officially confirmed or denied that it possesses a nuclear arsenal at all, instead it maintains a policy of 'strategic ambiguity'. In truly one of the most extraordinary stories we've told on this show - we get to the bottom of how Israel hides its nukes, how we found out about them, and why the global community seems to be fine with it.

Are Professor Student Relationships Ever Ok? w/ Madison Griffiths

When it comes to professor student relationships, a lot of people argue 'if everyone's an adult' and 'if everyone's consenting' there's nothing wrong with the dynamic. But Author Madison Griffiths disagrees. In this chat with Dee Salmin, Madison unpacks her new book Sweet Nothing which explores four women's experiences dating and sleeping with their professors - and how gender and power imbalances make the relationships so much more nuanced than consent.
