The Wicked moviepress tour has been a truly beautiful thing to witness. Ariana Grande & Cynthia Erivo have cried in almost every interview because of how much they love their characters and each other, and it seems like working on this project really did heal something in them. So, after the sincerity of their interviews, I was really taken aback when I learned Dax Shepard had Cynthia Erivo on his Armchair Expert podcast...and chose to ask her about going to the bathroom?

Keep reading for what Dax Shepard had to say and, like me, wonder why he asked it in the first place.

On an episode of his Armchair Expert podcast, Dax Shepard asked Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo if her famously long nails make it difficult to wipe when she goes to the bathroom. “I knew you would ask that,” Cynthia responds, saying “no one’s afraid” to ask such an intimate question.

“My answer is that nobody uses just their fingers to wipe their backside,” she says. “You use tissue, correct? And you wipe!”

When he asked if she was annoyed or offended by the question, Cynthia admits she's "annoyed by it."

“I'm, like, 'Come on, guys,' ” she says. “But I get it, but it's also, like, ‘I'm a functioning adult, and I've never walked around smelling like, you know…'"

Theo Wargo/Getty Images

The actress has proved she's nothing if not honest this fall, going viral for saying "thank goodness" the actresses who auditioned with her for Glinda didn't land the role and for vocalizinghow much a fan edit of the Wicked movie poster offended her (she later admitted she should have texted her friends instead of posting on social media).

Now, this question was very weird to me for a few reasons. Not only does it have nothing to do with the film, but Dax asking Cynthia about her bathroom habits gives me a similar feeling to the one I got watching that male interviewer ask Scarlett Johansson about her underwear during Avengers: Age of Ultron press. Just...what is the reason? Plus, the fact Cynthia has also been vocal about how much she values her nails as a part of Black culture only makes the question (and the fact the nails feel like, no pun intended, the butt of the joke) weirder.

"Here’s the thing," Cynthia tells Dax before switching topics. "There are people who do not have nails who need to check how they’re wiping." Get 'em girl!

There’s something about a platform shoe that just makes me feel powerful AF. Given the height boost, they also just supply a pleasing balance of proportion when I wear them with, well, just about anything. Platform loafers are no exception, and I personally embrace them for their versatility.

Slip into these 15 platform loafers that work well with maxi dresses and trousers alike!

Sam Edelman Meela Loafer

These platform loafers strike an attractive balance between cutesy and edgy – and I'm so here for it. Sport them with a pleated midi skirt and an oversized sweater to complement the season!

Steve Madden Landon Platform Loafer

Somewhere between a Mary Jane and platform loafer, this elevated pair was born. Fixed with an adorable bow detail, these steppers are ideal for channeling balletcore with a bit of spunk.

Charles & Keith Jules Platform Buckled Loafers

Needing an extra, *extra* boost? Step up to any challenge in these larger-than-life platform loafers. They flaunt eye-catching, artistic details from the big ol' buckle to the squiggled seam work.

Dr. Martens Vegan Adrian Felix Platform Tassel Loafers

These platform loafers give you a nearly 2-inch lift while you stand upon the Dr. Martens' heavy-duty soles. The upper on these shoes recalls loafers of the 70's, enhancing your outfits with the perfect amount of prep.

Alohas Trailblazer Loafers

These cleat-like soles will make your footwear stand out from the crowd, and *also* give each and every step some much-needed support!

UNIF Comma Shoe

Another hybrid between Mary Janes and platform loafers, this pair from UNIF boasts some fun features, like ultra-chunky soles, adorable buckles, and cutout eyelets near the toes.

Jeffrey Campbell Recess Double Platform Loafer

These platform loafers come ready to shine, as they're finished with a reflective black leather. The 'platform' part can be directly attributed to the double-stacked soles that bestow your footbed with the utmost comfort.

Sam Edelman Lora Lug Sole Loafer

The shape of these shoes simply makes them distinct from other offerings. They embrace a sharper toe form, covering your entire foot in a unique chestnut brown color.

Naturalizer Nieves Lug Loafer

You'll stop onlookers in their tracks when you slip into these platform loafers. The reflective gray outer layer gives each pair some personality, even when you have somewhere to be.

Charles & Keith Cordova Buckled Platform Loafers

Go the punk route with these white loafers. They'll never be difficult to wear with other garments, and they'll last you a long time, thanks to the thick rubber soles.

Dolce Vita Elias Flats

If you're not as daring to rock a double platform loafer, this style from Dolce Vita still has enough chunkiness – without the significant height increase – to amplify your look.

Steve Madden Lyndell Loafers

These platforms are ready to tread. Fitted with a toothy sole, they'll support every step you take, only this time, in style.

Let us know which December movie you're most excited for on Instagram!

Nicole Kidman is, as the kids say, mothering. She's giving fans plenty of movies and TV shows to pick from while we wait for the next seasons of Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect StrangersA Family Affair, Expats, The Perfect Couple (and the AMC intro, of course). Her newest movie Babygirl comes from A24, and the steamy drama is mixing work and pleasure. Pour yourself a glass of wine for this one, folks.

Scroll down to learn more about Babygirl — and to watch the HOT new trailer!

What is the plot of Babygirl?

A24

Babygirl Plot

In Babygirl, Nicole Kidman plays Romy, a powerful CEO struggling to hold her perfect persona together. Her marriage to Jacob has never provided with much pleasure, despite the fact he's caring and artistic. But when Romy meets a young intern named Samuel, and feels immediately drawn to him, the two begin a torrid affair.

And filming scenes with Harry Dickinson got so intense, Kidman said she literally had to take breaks. “There were times when we were shooting where I was like, ‘I don’t want to orgasm any more,'” she told the Sun. “Don’t come near me. I hate doing this. I don’t care if I am never touched again in my life!”

But the fact the movie was made by women empowered Kidman — and gave her a sense of freedom. "Doing this subject matter in the hands of the woman that wrote the script, that's directing it and is a really great actress herself — we became one in a weird way, which I'd never had with a director before," Kidman says in a statement. "When you're working with a woman on this subject matter, you can share everything with each other.”

"I really decided in the beginning, I want to make a sexual film, just as sexual as all these films that I've always admired so much," adds writer-director-producer Halina Reijn, "but now I'm going to do it completely through female eyes. What does that mean and what does that look like?”

When is the Babygirl release date?

A24

Babygirl Release Date

Babygirl made its premiere at the Venice Film Festival, but you can watch the movie in theaters December 25, 2024.

Who's in the Babygirl cast?

A24

Babygirl Cast

The cast of Babygirl includes Nicole Kidman, Harris Dickinson, Sophie Wilde, and Antonio Banderas.

What has Nicole Kidman said about making Babygirl?

Amy Sussman/Getty Images

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Nicole Kidman revealed Babygirl is the most "exposing" film she's done because she's “made some films that are pretty exposing, but not like this.”

“It left me raggedm" Kidman says. "At some point I was like, I don’t want to be touched. I don’t want to do this anymore, but at the same time I was compelled to do it...This is something you do and hide in your home videos. It is not a thing that normally is going to be seen by the world.”

“I felt very exposed as an actor, as a woman, as a human being,” she continues. “I had to go in and go out like, I need to put my protection back on. What have I just done? Where did I go? What did I do?”

What does babygirl energy mean?

A24

"Babygirl" is a term of endearment that's usually applied to a man (you've probably heard it describe Pedro Pascal or Paul Mescal). When someone is giving babygirl energy, they're kind, cute, and disarming. And considering Babygirl plays with power dynamics, we could be guessing who the "babygirl" in question is up until the very end.
