I get the impression that living with Lena would consist of her constantly interrupting to ask "Can I have a bite of that?", and that she insists on loudly shitting with the bathroom door open.
Yeah I got a ton of ratings on my original post, so to be clear, I do not think she's actually off the drugs. I think that she's a cluster B drug addict who has no self awareness. But I also think she may have different management that is trying to improve her PR and salvage possible future earnings. "Lena doing interviews high af and saying whatever" isn't as cute or hireable now that she's getting fat and old.
Sometimes management can make a huge difference. Tom Cruise fired his right before doing the "jumping on a couch on Oprah and getting scientology married" thing, and Madonna fired hers right before doing the "mega plastic surgery, instagramming while high as balls pretending to be a 20 year old Kardashian" thing.
If she hired different management all it would mean is that her former probably got sick of her and/or she's afraid of becoming irrelevant when everyone figures out she's unbearable and a bad investment.

I’m sure she probably does have a new agent or manager. Her workload has dramatically changed and there is new more serious, far more curated to public, Lena.
It became obvious Lena wasn’t able handle the many juicy opportunities she got after Girls and majorly flaked out on a lot of projects - which caused serious career damage. I think this is also why we got a lot of media about her hysterectomy. It was to help excuse and rationalize why she had been so fucked up the six years after Girls ended. It would have been a rehab /recovery arc if Lena had any interest is stopping drugs, but she doesn’t. Sticking to the “sick” persona gives her carte Blanche to keep using and a reason to be flakey.
I’m sure her management worked hard to get her signed on to the Polly Pocket project. Her shitting the bed (again) on it means they will greatly lower their expectations for any future writing/directing work and probably focus entirely on her fat, quirky, cameo acting gigs going forward. Her new Netflix series is supposed to be autobiographical so I think rehashing her brief era of success is all that’s left for creative writing content.
It’s interesting watching the last six years of munching.
She’s so stereotypical in some ways to other munchies, but not in others. Almost all munchies started with a ED, and while Lena was always fat or chubby, but I figure she has some variation of disordered eating even if she never embraced the anachan. Unlike most munchies she did have major success as a young woman. (Munching seems to be away to opt out of womanhood or having adult expectations. Many munchies are hopeful ballerinas, gymnasts, ice skaters, models, etc…that when it becomes obvious they can’t hack it, they opt for munching to nope out and have a tragic dashed dreams story.
Lena seems to have chosen munching as a way to cope with the pressures of success, and a great way to excuse rampant drug abuse (obviously drug seeking is also a primary munchie motivation) and opting out of work. Sort of like an adult work world version of getting a faux autism DX in college for ridiculous accommodations. It’s a little surprising she didn’t also become a they/them.
I never took any interest in Lena during her Girls era, but her munchie/druggie era got my attention. Thanks to years in the munchie thread Lena’s munchie media tour de force got my attention.
I don’t know, this isn’t the first time Lumpy Lena has pretended to “get serious” only to squander her numerous chances that far more talented yet far less connected people would kill for. I’m sure in the back of her mind she resents how her old friends and even her ex are doing much better than she is. I think for her to get a chance to do something like Polly Pocket again she will need to actually be able to follow through on something and have it be successful.
In the Billboard article where Lena bitched about being the fat and short one, she also said her boyfriend Jack (and future husband) made this pic his screensaver. Does she have a humiliation fetish? Or is it just a classic case of narcissistic BPD where any pity is good pity
That's pretty funny if it's true. Like he wanted some cheesecake, a little pinup, but then to try and not make her mad, he got one where she was in. And it got her so mad she bitchedabout it publically.
All Lena's on magazines for now is due to her many "illnesses" and pill popping. She's become one of those old Golden Hollywood stars (without the talent, of course) that only make the news due to their eccentric behavior whenever they risked to leave their mansions. It's like she's over, but she's still relevant enough to be featured because she enjoys any attention and people love to make fun of her.
At her current path, she's never working on movies or TV again unless it's a cameo or she actually writes or directs, but she has zero energy to do any of those and I doubt people want to see a blob on the screen.
Kinda. One day I'll watch the whole show including the seasons I skipped because I got fed up with it and let you know. All I know from what I remember is that Lena has so low self-esteem that she cucked herself on her own show.

I watched the first three seasons but i have zero memory about it apart from Lena being stunningly unattractive and everyone involved sort of pretending that she isn't I forgot Lena even existed until i saw the thread pop up while scrolling down the forum list yesterday. Bitch would be nowhere without hardcore nepotism. I think that "I was working on the Polly Pocket script for THREE YEARS!" thing is absolutely hilarious, i bet any industry flunky would've written that script basically over night.
Them yanking Polly Pocket from her is a sign that they had low confidence in her being able to pull this off. You can imagine Mattel pressing to get the movie going for 2024 or something to capitalize on Barbie’s success and it’s in the hands of this loser who can’t get it across the finish line. If they thought she could’ve pulled it off but needed help, they would’ve done so because there’s lots of people that specialize in rewriting or punching up scripts, but no, they decided to pull it away from her altogether. I think expectations for a movie like this would’ve been rock bottom but Lumpy Lena finds a way to limbo underneath that low bar anyway.

I almost felt bad for Luis because you know she's going to be having some sort of messy meltdown over this. So decided to check in on him and it turns out he recently performed at All Points East (the day before Field Day) "with Pixies, LCD Soundsystem and Jai Paul".
Now in fairness, he did indeed perform at All Points East on the same day as them:
But he didn't perform with them. He was instead at the AMEX Unsigned Artists tent
and his set was actually on at the same time as Pixies. He uploaded some vlogs and I can't tell if he's heavily dosed up on sedatives or if he's pretending to be heavily dosed up on sedatives because he thinks that makes him look cool
Luis spent some time in the VIP signing tents (none of the big acts were doing signings for VIP ticket holders that day, so I guess there were some spare tables). One thing I have realised is you never see Lena at any of his shows - I suppose as a "celebrity" she'd be terrified of crowds and too tired to stand up and walk around a park all day long at a festival. Although it does look like Emma Chitty (his ex) still turns up Luis's gigs on occasion.
The visuals are just his existing music videos, he didn't specifically get anything made for his set. But it does say a lot that he commissioned videos through Strange Beast despite being unsigned; the Felber family fortune must be the only thing propping up his music "career".

Upthread Lena was showing herself off with her disturbing bodysuit, claiming she was dancing at Taylor Swift’s concert. So she has time for her “friends” but not for her husband. You have to wonder if her marrying Luis was her attempt to make Jack Antonoff jealous because she thought Luis’s shitty band was on the cusp of making it big at the time she decided to tie the knot. At this point he probably won’t get signed and it’s interesting that with her connections that he can’t get signed anywhere. I wonder if she’s tried but they suck so they’re not able to get their foot in the door. Lots of speculation on my part but I stand by it.
credits her as "Creative director".
Also failed to break 2k views and the channel only has 725 followers, so that band's as dead as the proverbial parrot.

Good grief, why is he just wandering around a Londis fingering lemons and looking at Tiptree jam for half of the video? I'm not surprised he hasn't had any success, the music is dull as ditch water and he looks like he smells musty.
can't reply to @AssignedEva but that guy's "vlog" is immediately familiar to anybody that has even just been adjacent to that world of NYC clout chasing. Everybody knows a guy like that just hanging around, never really progressing in his music career, just sorta there, doing the "too cool for school" type shit but it's NYC so it's fine, in a way, you're at least living in a great city.
these videos say nothing new or grand, but were interesting to me. in one of them, there's a pretty good point: lena lost the support of black women, so she will never be cool again.
also in a recent interview with jimmy kimmel, jack antonoff says people always tweet at him "can you fight" in regard to his wife, margaret qualley, and he invites them to fight
in case the timestamp doesn't work, it's from roughly 45 seconds in
i wonder how much lena seethes over her, considering qualley is a also nepo baby (daughter of andie macdowell), but also beautiful and thin and talented.
Antonoff briefly dated Scarlett Johansson when in high school. You have to wonder why he slummed it with Lumpy Lena. I understand it was at her peak at the time but still. I guess he eventually found his bearings, in terms of career and relationship prospects.
She probably didn't care if he got some on the side, as long as she had some guy to "claim" her publicly.
I mean, she bought the "we can't get married until teh gheys do" line he fed her while they were dating....and then didn't call him on it when gay marriage actually was legalized.
