Andrew Rannells Shuts Down ‘Another Simple Favor’ Drama Rumors

by

Drama? Andrew Rannells doesn’t know her.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’ve been following the buzz surrounding the pairing of Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively in “Another Simple Favor.” Amidst rumors and Blake’s ongoing legal dispute with director Justin Baldoni from “It Ends With Us,” I was curious to know if these events had any impact on their collaboration. When asked about potential distractions, Andrew, ever the diplomat, provided a truly remarkable response.

The ex-student from ‘Girls’ replied to AP jokingly on the 27th of April, saying, ‘Absolutely not.’ If you’re referring to Allison Janney inviting me for a shopping spree in the bustling streets of Rome, I found it quite delightful,” she said.

He went on to say, “I really enjoyed the shopping experience. It was fun watching her pick out items. If given the chance, I’d love to do it again, be it in a big city like Allison or even a smaller one.

When asked if there were any other distractions aside from a shopping trip with his co-star, the actor from Black Monday once more chuckled and confirmed, “Nothing!

However, despite Andrew remaining undistracted by the chatter about his co-stars, it’s Blake and Anna who have drawn keen interest from fans while promoting the sequel.

At the South by Southwest (SXSW) film festival last month, Anna subtly expressed surprise or skepticism when asked about collaborating with Blake once more, as indicated by her raised eyebrows.

The star from the movie “Pitch Perfect,” as displayed in a clip posted by Entertainment Tonight, responded mysteriously with a vague, “Well, you already know…

Blake, meanwhile, told the outlet that same night that Anna is “the best.”

Anna had once disclosed her thoughts about going back to work alongside the former star of Gossip Girl. In October, she told People, “It was delightful. I believe those characters have such unusual chemistry that it’s just fantastic to reunite the group, and it does feel a bit like learning to ride a bike again.

Despite the buzz of speculation, director Paul Feig has taken steps to quell rumors suggesting that Blake’s drama, “It Ends With Us,” may have had a detrimental effect on “Another Simple Favor.

As a devoted enthusiast, I’d like to clarify that the information shared earlier might have been misleading. In January, I expressed doubt about the project due to certain rumors, but let me assure you now: The movie, which we’ve worked tirelessly on, is indeed completed and set for release in the near future. Please disregard any speculations you may encounter on social media platforms these days.

Meanwhile, a source with knowledge likewise refuted feud rumors.

According to the source, there’s no animosity or conflict between them. Instead, they are colleagues who work together harmoniously and also maintain a friendly relationship.

Although Anna and Blake seem to be on good terms, it’s worth noting that other conflicts among celebrities have sparked the interest of fans in Hollywood. Let’s delve deeper into the main scuffles among the stars ahead.

Or:

Anna and Blake are getting along fine, but elsewhere in Tinseltown, there’s been no shortage of drama that has captivated fans. Read on for a summary of significant celebrity feuds.

In January 2024, Bobby, who is seen here second from the left, clarified speculations about a rift with Tan, who is visible in the center of the image. This came two months following his departure from Queer Eye, after an impressive run of eight seasons.

He assured Vanity Fair that both he and Tan are in good shape, saying, “There was a private matter that arose, and it’s solely between us two, unrelated to the series. It stemmed from a personal issue, and I just want to make it clear that it wasn’t romantic.

By March 2024, Tan defended himself against accusations that he attempted to get his friend Jeremiah Brent instead of Bobby on the show “Queer Eye”.

He stated on Instagram that Netflix and the production companies conducted a thorough casting process. He didn’t recommend his friend for the role, as they ended up being the most suitable candidate for the job. However, he didn’t secure the position for his friend by eliminating someone else from contention.

In a December 2023 episode of her podcast “Let’s Be Clear”, Holly Marie Combs, who previously acted with Shannen on Charmed, claimed that Alyssa had demanded a choice be made between herself and Shannen to a show producer. This alleged ultimatum is said to have contributed to Shannen leaving the show in 2001.

As a lifestyle connoisseur reflecting on events of the past, I find myself reminiscing about an instance in February 2024. In a heartfelt Instagram post, I made it clear that I held no authority to terminate employment, and that any recollections shared about this matter by others today can be seen as a form of revisionist history, given how much time has passed since then.

One day afterwards, during a panel discussion at MegaCon Orlando, Shannen declared, “I am not aware of any attempts to rewrite history where the truth I know is concerned.

Shannen passed away in July 2024 after a yearslong battle with cancer.

2023, as I engaged in an exhilarating round of “Stir the Pot” with my cherished daughter, Kelly Osbourne, on TopMob News, I found myself compelled to share an extraordinary encounter. In all my fangirling years, I’ve never met a celebrity quite as brusque as the one from That ’70s Show. This individual, who left such an indelible mark on me, I can only describe as a “rude, rude, rude, rude little boy” and a “dastardly little thing.

He did not respond to her remarks publicly.

Approximately five years ago, Sharon expressed to Larry King that Ashton displayed an “attitude” when he appeared on The Talk in 2014, following her mistake in pronouncing his name.

In my own words, as someone who’s been deeply involved in this field, I remember being confronted with a question: “What are you? What have you accomplished here?” The person, apparently unaware of the situation, said something to me. My response was, “Listen, young one, don’t challenge me, because I’ll outshine you and leave you in the dust.” Essentially, I was implying that they had no idea about my capabilities and experience.

In August of 2022, Cassadee and Maren engaged in a heated exchange with Brittany, the spouse of country artist Jason Aldean, following her Instagram Reel post on August 23, where she applied makeup and wrote, “I’d truly like to thank my parents for not altering my gender during my tomboy phase. I adore this feminine lifestyle.

In a TikTok challenge in 2022, JoJo Siwa labeled Candace Cameron Bure as the most unfriendly celebrity she had encountered. She shared that she felt hurt when Bure declined to take a photo with her on a red carpet event earlier. However, not long after this comment, the actress from Full House expressed remorse and apologized: “I inadvertently shattered your 11-year-old heart by not taking a picture with you. I’m really sorry about that.

Initially, there were misunderstandings between the two, but later they reconciled. However, several months passed and Candace was questioned about the potential representation of same-sex couples as main characters in holiday movies on the Great American Family network, where she holds the position of chief creative officer. She stated that this is unlikely, expressing her belief that the network will continue to uphold traditional marriage as a central theme.

JoJo, who publicly identified as part of the LGBTQ+ community last year, posted on Instagram that the actress’ remark was “unpleasant and painful for an entire group of individuals.

In June 2021, Courtney Love alleged that Olivia Rodrigo had used Hole’s album cover design for a promotional image without proper attribution. Rodrigo responded with “I love you and draw so much inspiration from this experience.” Later, Courtney offered her advice, stating “Olivia – feel free to use it! My preferred florist is located in Notting Hill, London. I’d be happy to share more details with you! I can’t wait to read your thoughtful note [winking face emoji].

During an episode of “Watch What Happens Live”, the actor from “Happy Days” was questioned about his strained relationship with the star of “Forrest Gump” during the filming of the 1989 movie “Turner & Hooch”.

For 13 days, I had been in charge of directing that movie, but then Jeff Katzenberg called me to his office and told me, “Have all your things ready? Go home.” He said this to me.

In a different wording, it can be expressed as: Winkler appeared to have a good relationship with Hanks’ canine costar, and here’s what he said about it: “We got along wonderfully, really well, and I adore that dog.

He also refused to admit if he’s even seen the flick. 

“You know what you did!”

Lovers of the show “The Hills” may recall that memorable quote, spoken by Lauren in the season three opener. Their conflict started when Heidi entered into a relationship with her current spouse, Spencer Pratt, and reached its zenith when Lauren accused Heidi and Spencer of spreading a rumor about her making a sex tape with Jason Wahler.

The costars rekindled their longstanding dispute when Tyrese criticized Dwayne on Instagram after the release date for Fast and Furious 9 was shifted to April 2020. On the same day, it was disclosed that a Fast and Furious spinoff featuring Dwayne and Jason Statham would premiere in cinemas in 2019. A month later, Tyrese vowed to leave Fast 9 if Dwayne appeared in the film.

Later on, Tyrese spoke candidly about the conflict during an interview on the “The Red Pill” podcast with Van Lathan, stating, “Up until now, I haven’t spoken to The Rock directly, but we will have a chat.” He also mentioned that he had conversed with The Rock’s producing partner, but not the actor himself.

Tyrese admitted that he was the one who publicly expressed emotions related to the franchise on behalf of several people connected to it. However, he regrettably took this step alone, and now realizes that it wasn’t a wise or professional choice.

No more bad blood here.

For quite some time, Taylor and Katy have been embroiled in a long-standing dispute, with Taylor’s song “Bad Blood” even hinting at it. The root of this drama, said to have begun over a backup dancer and conflicting tours, was seemingly resolved when Perry extended an olive branch, quite literally, before the commencement of Taylor’s Reputation Tour. As a dedicated follower, I found this gesture symbolic of reconciliation and healing between the two artists.

In a recent Instagram video, Taylor mentioned that she had just discovered a real olive branch in her dressing room. She expressed how significant this finding was for her.

Taylor captioned the video, “Thank you Katy.”

For many years, speculations about a feud between co-stars Kim and Sarah Jessica Parker in the show Sex and the City had been put to rest. However, these whispers resurfaced when Kim chose not to rejoin for a third film, and her subsequent remarks regarding her fellow actor stirred curiosity among fans.

In a September 2017 edition of “Watch What Happens Live”, Andy Cohen inquired about Sarah Jessica Parker’s (SJP) response to Kim Cattrall’s statement that they were only colleagues, not friends.

She expressed her feelings by saying, “I’m truly heartbroken. We had several conversations about this during the past week, as it deeply troubled me since it doesn’t align with my recollections of our shared experience.

She explained, ‘I must admit, it’s quite poignant for me. I’ve always felt that the shared professional journey we had spanned over so many years somehow made us more than just colleagues. It was a significant part of our lives. I guess I’m hoping that this bond trumps any recent discussions.’ She went on to say, ‘Sharing such a special experience for so long is truly a unique privilege.’

And though they didn’t film scenes together, Kim did make a small appearance on And Just Like That.

 

Ever since 2004, I’ve found myself caught up in a longstanding disagreement between two legendary musicians – myself and Madonna. This all started when, during the Q Awards that year, I was bestowed with the Classic Songwriter Award. In my acceptance speech, I couldn’t help but express my disbelief about her being hailed as the best live act. I said something like, “Madonna, being lauded as a top live performer? I beg to differ! When did miming on stage count as live performance? My apologies for the strong language, but let me reiterate – I believe that anyone who mimes in public, especially when fans pay good money to see them, should be held accountable.

2008 saw a dispute between the former star of “Grey’s Anatomy” and the show’s creator, as she opted out of Emmy Awards consideration. She explained that her decision was based on not receiving sufficient material to warrant a nomination.

Later on, Shonda spoke candidly about Katherine’s choice during an interview with Oprah Winfrey on ‘Oprah’s Next Chapter’ in 2012. She stated, “On one hand it hurt and on the other I wasn’t shocked. When people reveal their true selves, you should believe them. That’s a saying I hold dear and it has been beneficial for me.”

During the New York Fashion Week, an argument between Nicki and Cardi that made headlines worldwide took place at the Harper’s Bazaar Icon party. Later on, Cardi revealed what had led to the disagreement with Nicki.

For some time, she’s been firing many criticisms at me, Cardi stated in the Art Issue of W magazine. “We had spoken twice previously, and we reached a compromise. However, she continued the hostility towards me.

The true ignition point for the dispute occurred when Cardi B noticed that Nicki Minaj seemed to have ‘liked’ and subsequently ‘unliked’ a tweet criticizing Cardi’s parenting abilities, an action Nicki Minaj later claimed she did not perform.

Cardi B shared, “I had the opportunity to earn millions from my Bruno Mars tour, but I chose to stay with my daughter instead. I adore my child; I’m a wonderful mother. It’s hard for me to understand someone without a child criticizing that choice. People often say that wasn’t the right moment or place, but I wouldn’t judge another artist in the supermarket or on the street.

The strained relationship between Kanye West and Taylor Swift originated back in 2009 during the MTV Video Music Awards, when Kanye interrupted her acceptance speech while accepting the award for “Stronger.” Despite reconciling and developing a friendship over the years, their bond ultimately dissolved again following the release of his song “Famous” in 2026, where he references Taylor Swift.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, let me recount an intriguing event that transpired in February 2025, just one day before the Grammy Awards. Kanye West, the renowned artist, made an unexpected move on Instagram: he trimmed down his followers to include only Taylor – yes, you guessed it – Swift. In keeping with his enigmatic nature, he chose not to add any further explanatory commentary.

To everyone’s surprise, Taylor, the equally captivating artist, remained silent on the matter in the public sphere. This cryptic maneuver sent ripples through the music world, leaving fans and critics alike speculating about the meaning behind this move.

“I don’t know her.”

The dispute between Mariah and J.Lo has lasted for more than 15 years now. It began when Mariah, the self-proclaimed Queen of Christmas, was asked to share her thoughts about various singers during an interview. When questioned about Jennifer, she responded casually, “I’m not familiar with her.
