Brad Pitt Greases Up the Cover of Esquire

-It’s been a while since Brad Pitt had to strain himself to promote one of his movies, but he’s breaking out in a sweat over World War Z. In a new interview with Esquire, he talks about his “conscious choice” to stop being a pothead, and gushes about his happy family life with Angelina Jolie. That cover isn’t going to sell any movie tickets though. Yuck.

-I went a way for a few days and missed the entire Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson implosion! Of course, all the blame is landing on her. She was too “moody” for him (because lord knows we just can’t let a couple break up without slut-shaming the girl or blaming it on her ovaries or some bullshit).

-Meanwhile, Rob is reportedly “in a really good mood” following the split.

-Is it weird that I felt really bad when Justin Bieber got booed at the Billboard Awards? Poor little dude looked like he was about to cry.

-Also, I don’t know what’s going on with him and Selena, but Taylor Swift was throwing her some seriously supportive BFF looks during one of his acceptance speeches.

-Wait, so is Beyonce pregnant or not? When I was away I thought E! confirmed it, but now Jay-Z‘s camp is denying it.

-Meanwhile, according to Gawker the leaked Beyoncé song sounds the same even when played in four windows simultaneously because we have reached peak Beyoncé levels!

-Speaking of being away, I’m catching up on my TV and just watched Ben Affleck‘s SNL monologue. Holy crap, Jennifer Garner really is Tracy Flick, isn’t she?!

-This is really making me want to watch Amy Schumer‘s new sketch show.

-Paul Wesley just tweeted “On a romantic date with Ben Mckenzie appropriately seeing the new HBO Liberace film” along with a photo of the two of them, and then the internet immediately drowned in slash fic.

-Amy Poehler predicts strangers’ futures in this video, which I haven’t watch yet ’cause it’s really long but I’m predicting it will be 100% adorable. (I also love and adore that she’s confident enough to wear a hoodie with no makeup and unwashed hair on TV.)

-Whoa. The kid who played Julie on Friday Night Lights has grown into a hottie.

-I have a love/hate relationship with Zach Galifianakis, but this is putting me firmly back in the love camp: his date to The Hangover 3 premiere was an 87-year-old woman named Mimi Haist. He made friends with her before he hit it big, and when he found out she’d become homeless a few years later he set her up with a place to live and now invites her to Hollywood events. These pictures of her getting ready kill me.

-Someone hide Mike Tyson‘s tiger: Justin Bartha just got engaged.

-John (“Captain Jack”) Barrowman will host a celebrity karaoke show for ABC called Sing Your Face Off. Does this mean his Arrow character is really dead?

-Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio will be replacing Britney Spears and L.A. Reid as judges on the X Factor, which means Fox has four months to try to make the world learn who Paulina Rubio is.

-Your opinion of the new She & Him video will largely revolve around how much you can tolerate Zooey Deschanel‘s adorableness.

-The Anchorman 2 cameos just keep coming. Now Drake is reportedly in it.

-Man, what is Dior thinking with the stuff they’re putting Jennifer Lawrence in at Cannes? Her wardrobe there is just an endless parade of the same boring dress.

-Weird question, but why is Alec Baldwin‘s wife part of his movie photocall in Cannes?

-I’m not going to lie, I am mesmerized by Blake Lively’s cooking video.

-A new trailer for The Wolverine has landed, but it looks like it’s mostly comprised of footage we’ve already seen.

-Helen Mirren, in full regalia and character, granted a terminally ill boy’s wish to meet the Queen because she’s awesome.

-This article about what happens when you land an interview with Prince made me laugh — and also made me very jealous.

-Justin Timberlake said his music career hangs over him “like a cloud.” ‘Cause that’s just what we want to hear from a guy who’s album recently sold nearly 1 million copies in one week. Charming.

-Jon Hamm‘s girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt is going to guest-star on Girls next season, which I think is actually a great move for her. She strikes me as more of a TV person than a movie person.

-ABC has finally put the unaired episodes of Don’t Trust the B up online — but of course they’re geo-blocked for Canadians because the internet hates us.

-If you have 7 minutes and 41 seconds to kill, The Weeknd just posted the first song off his upcoming album.

-The Buffy series finale aired 10 years ago this week which makes me feel really old, but also really grateful that the most popular vampire story of my youth revolved around a kickass girl and not this.

-I cannot wait until Before Midnight! Vulture’s guide to all of Celine and Jesse’s conversations is making it worse.

-Lauren Graham talking about former Gilmore Girls costar Jared Padalecki’s arms cracked me up.

-Claire Danes gets her cry-face on in the new As Cool As I Am trailer.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s “Punk” Style

(GOOP.com)

(Programming note: I’m going to NYC for an extra-long long weekend, so no new blog until Tuesday)

 

-This week’s GOOP is all about Gwyneth Paltrow‘s preparations for the MET Gala. A make-nice for Anna Wintour, perhaps?

-Meanwhile, Chloe Sevigny is having none of it from Gwyneth. None. Of. It.

-Also, a Groupon for a meet-and-greet with Gwyneth sold out in just 24 minutes.

-Reese Witherspoon thought that having a drink in public so soon after her arrest wouldn’t be a big deal. That’s adorable!

-A guy got arrested for swimming to Taylor Swift‘s beachfront property. Just because it’s crazy, doesn’t mean it’s not impressive.

-Beyonce‘s latest concert outfit seemed designed to shoot down belly bump speculation.

-Hayden Panettiere is either engaged or just likes gaudy rings. (Sidenote: I watched Nashville for the third time in my life last night and spent a lot of time thinking, “Wait, Hayden Panettiere can actually act?!”)

-Speaking of wedding rings, here’s Keira Knightley’s.

-J.J. Abrams took suggestions for Star Wars from Jimmy Kimmel‘s audience — which happened to include William Shatner.

-I love that the new Vampire Weekend album contains so many arcane references that Vulture created a guide for it.

-Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz has changed his tune and now says that you do have to watch the new episodes in order after all.

-Will Arnett and Jason Bateman showed up at the NYC banana stand today. We’re just over a week away, people!

-Netflix’s “adultery” ad campaign is pretty clever — and true.

-Chris Evans’ arms scare me.

-Zoe Saldana said she doesn’t mind having her weight splashed across the cover of a magazine. Here’s the thing, though: I’d be very surprised if she even weighs that much ’cause that’s around what I weigh and I stood next to her in an elevator once and felt like the Hulk in comparison. So I just assumed the weight announcement was trying to squash some sort of eating disorder rumour, which apparently makes me the most cynical person in the world. Cynical and Hulk-like.

-Meanwhile, Zoe is reportedly dating an artist who’s nickname is Pirate Perago.

-Having Sarah Michelle Gellar talking about working with Robin Williams still doesn’t make me want to watch their new show.

-The CW was the last network to announce their fall lineup. It’s weird that they’re splitting up The Vampire Diaries and The Originals, but the biggest buzz is surrounding The Tomorrow People. Also, Reign stars Anne of Green Gables as the mom!

-Meanwhile, newly split couple Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder shared the stage at CW’s upfront presentation. Awkward!

-Kanye West’s performance at the Adult Swim upfronts turned into a rant (what else?) against the paparazzi (what else?).

-Is it weird that this Six Feet Ending-type goodbye to The Office made me laugh and cry at the same time? I blame that damn Sia song. So many feels!

-Meanwhile, here are some clips from tonight’s finale. I also liked this article called “5 Ways The Office Ruined My Life.”

-I’m really glad that the early reviews out of Cannes for Bling Ring are so positive (particularly surrounding Emma Watson‘s performance).

-Speaking of Emma, I liked her Cannes photo call dress much more than her premiere dress.

-Ewan McGregor has reportedly signed on for Danny Boyle‘s Trainspotting sequel.

-Martha Stewart accidentally called Jay Leno “Dave” during her Tonight Show appearance.

-Christina Aguilera looks slim and sultry on the set of her new music video.

-Melissa Joan Hart has cancelled her Kickstarter campaign after coming up $1,984,395 short of her $2 million goal. Ha!

-Oh crap oh crap oh crap — are they actually going to attempt to Kickstart the Friday Night Lights movie? I don’t think this film needs a huge budget, but the show always looked so damn good that it set a pretty high bar. The finale was pretty much perfect, so unless they’re willing to put some real money behind it, why bother?

-Scarlett Johansson is set to make her directorial debut with an adaptation of Truman Capote‘s Summer Crossing. Ugh.

-In news that should surprise -20 people, Kelly Rowland admits to being jealous of Beyonce.

-This Being Canadian documentary looks pretty great!

-Shakira is staying put on The Voice next year, as are Usher and Cee Lo. I guess all that talk of leaving yesterday was just negotiation tactics.

-Louis CK talks about immigrating from Mexico and being an “accidental white person” in the new issue of Rolling Stone.

-Kate Bosworth is teaming up with TopShop for a festival collection, because going to music festivals is basically all she does these days.

-I really like Miley Cyrus‘ jumpsuit, but both Lena Dunham and Gwyneth Paltrow wore it first.

-A new trailer for Pacific Rim just dropped. It needs more shirtless Idris Elba. And by “more” I mean “any.”

 

Angelina Jolie Planning More Surgeries

-In the new issue of People (which — it should be noted — features Angelina Jolie on the cover, but contains no actual interview with her), they reveal that her next step is to have her ovaries removed.

-Joshua Jackson‘s reaction when Diane Kruger reveals in this video that they like to skinny dip slays me. I’m pretty sure I’m going to revisit this GIF of it on a daily basis.

-Remember when Jon Hamm and Adam Scott recreated the Simon & Simon theme song shot-for-shot?  Well now Adam is teaming up with Amy Poehler to take on the Hart to Hart theme.

-It has taken The Mindy Project all season to work out its kinks, but last night’s finale was fab.

-Speaking of last night’s finales, Taylor Swift’s cameo on New Girl was super short and featured no singing(??), but at least Max Greenfield seemed to like it.

-TBS is giving Diablo Cody her own talk show. I love and adore her YouTube series where she interviews celebrities in an old trailer, so this could be good.

-Lindsay Lohan is not quite ready for people to mock her…to her face.

-The pilot for The Goodwin Games is now online. I really liked it, but Fox is burning it off this summer so don’t get too attached.

-Here’s the first Arrested Development viral campaign.

-Jennifer Love Hewitt just dropped $3.25 million on a Pacific Palisades mansion.

-Diddy just tweeted that he’s joining the cast of Downton Abbey, but PBS assures us that he most certainly is not. It was just for a Funny or Die skit.

-In other rumour news, Eminem was not almost stabbed to death in NYC.

-James Franco wrote a movie review for The Great Gatsby. He doesn’t actually talk at all about what works and doesn’t in the movie. He does, however, drop gems like “It reminds me of my high school relationships, where I tortured girlfriends for getting fingered by other boys when they were freshmen.”

-The Office‘s Ellie Kemper asks “Can men be funny?“

-Speaking of The Office, Grantland’s collection of the show’s best clips sent me down a very engrossing YouTube rabbit hole today. And then I hit this video of the cast saying goodbye and tearing up, and I was done for.

-Ricky Gervais is bringing back David Brent on YouTube and that should make us all happy, but reading this new GQ interview may make you hate him too much to care.

-Lupe Fiasco‘s management took control of his Twitter after the rapper started a (very intelligent) conversation about Marxism.

-A day after claiming she’s single, Selena Gomez was spotted at Justin Bieber’s house.

-Reese Witherspoon‘s publicist wants you to know that the actress and her husband showed “great chemistry” while shopping in NYC.

-For those of you keeping track, Miley Cyrus‘ ring is back on.

-Will Smith and Jaden Smith laughed off those emancipation rumours on today’s Ellen.

-Nicki Minaj is done with Idol, while Shakira is leaving The Voice.

-I love the dress Nicole Kidman wore to Cannes. Carey Mulligan looked amazing too. This bodes well for the rest of the week!

-Diplo live-tweeted his bitchy thoughts about the new Daft Punk album while listening to it.

-I don’t know how I missed the August: Osage County trailer when it debuted last week, but it stars everybody! And by everybody I mean Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Ewan McGregor, Benedict Cumberbatch and a whole bunch of other pretty people. Oh, and it’s produced by our fake boyfriend, George Clooney.

Brad Pitt Praises Angelina Jolie’s Decision to Undergo a Double Mastectomy

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. (Twentieth Century Fox)

-As I mentioned on Twitter earlier today, Angelina Jolie’s op-ed about her double mastectomy is not only stunning and inspiring, but it also proves that she can be a goddamit ninja with the paparazzi when she wants to be. Also, her timing and choice of publication once again proves her media-savviness.

-Brad Pitt has spoken out about his “absolutely heroic” fiancée. His mother also praised her.

-Those Beyoncé pregnancy rumours have gotten a lot louder since she cancelled a  show due to “exhaustion.”

-For Jaden Smith‘s 15th birthday, he asked to be emancipated from Will and Jada. I really, really hope he started that conversation with “Ok, here’s the situation…“

-Amanda Bynes continues to be a menace on Twitter, posting ”I f—ed @Drakebell so many times on the Amanda Show set oh god” before deleting it.

-Chris Pine admits he cries a lot. “Up destroyed me. Up was like the animated Amour.”

-Speaking of Chris, his new Star Trek movie is getting rave reviews.

-In other Star Trek cast news, Zoe Saldana told Allure that she might “end up with a woman.”  Also, why the hell did the magazine feel the need to print her weight on the cover?

-Bill Hader is the latest SNL cast member to jump ship. But who will tell us about NYC’s hottest clubs now?!

-Nicole Kidman just landed a new Jimmy Choo endorsement deal.

-How I Met Your Mother finally (finally!) gave us a glimpse of the mother last night, but don’t expect to see her again until the very end of the series. The creators say they’re going to stretch Robin and Barney’s wedding weekend out over the entire final season. And I’m out!

-Today was ABC’s turn at the upfronts, where they totally blew up their fall schedule. The trailers for Joss Whedon‘s S.H.I.E.L.D., Christian Slater and Steve Zahn‘s Mind Games and Rebel Wilson‘s Super Fun Night look most promising. But why the hell are they forcing Rebel to do an American accent?

-The stars are starting to arrive at Cannes. This outfit bodes well for Emma Watson‘s red carpet choices.

-Speaking of good outfits, I love Amy Poehler’s upfronts dress.

-Amy’s Parks and Recreation costar Rashida Jones directed this new music video.

-Here are photos of Katie Holmes shooting a romantic scene with Canadian actor Luke Kirby. I saw him once at a Q&A for Take This Waltz which ended with him lying down in the middle of the stage so…yeah, she can probably do better.

-I would totally watch a show in which Kylie Minogue plays She-Ra!

-James Franco admits that Your Highness sucked.

-Meanwhile, the trailer for Franco‘s Cannes movie As I Lay Dying, an adaptation of Faulkner’s novel, has landed.

-It looks like Joe Wright won’t be directing the Fifty Shades of Grey adaptation after all.

-A new Catching Fire poster has dropped, as has a new photo from Divergent. Why are they only releasing stills showing Shailene Woodley from the side?

-Shia LaBeouf exhausts me with this shit.

-It’s a good week for streaming music. Yesterday was Daft Punk, today it’s The National.

-Rachel McAdams has made another time-travelling romance flick. But at least this one stars Bill Nighy!

Rihanna Shows Off Her Tattoo (And Then Some) On Instagram

(instagram.com/badgalriri)

-Rihanna‘s taking side boob to new levels on Instagram. I’m not even sure if you need the “side” qualifier for this shot. That’s pretty much just boob.

-Meanwhile, Victoria’s Secret just named her “sexiest bikini bod” so she’s not going to stop any time soon.

-Chris Brown scares children. Also, he continues to be gross on Twitter.

-Speaking of Twitter, enough with the selfies, Amanda Bynes!

-Beyonce wore that crazy unflattering gown to last week’s MET Gala so now everyone’s wondering if she’s pregnant, seemingly forgetting that her questionable fashion taste once resulted in House of Dereon and therefore we probably shouldn’t be reading so much into it.

-I’m not going to lie — George Clooney’s ‘stache is really working for me.

-Is James Franco getting cozy with the mother of dragons? He was spotted flirting it up with Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke.

-In other GoT cast relationship news, Sean Bean attended this weekend’s Bafta awards with his ex-wife, leading to all kinds of reconciliation rumours.

-Meanwhile, Jon Snow was spotted cheering on the Leafs in Toronto. I feel like I’m the only person I know who hasn’t run into him while he’s in town, and it’s making me pouty.

-Gillian Anderson (who my brother saw in Ottawa this weekend — jealous!) says she once turned down a role in GoT.

-I love the bit in this fluffball gossip item about how Cameron Diaz “graciously” tolerated a guy who was trying to hit on her in a bar. Four for you, publicist!

-This might be the most I’ve ever seen Mark Ruffalo talk about his personal life in an interview.

-Just in case you’re wondering why everyone’s been so quiet today, they’re all listening to the new Daft Punk album stream.

-I had to breathe into a paper bag while reading this item about Suri Cruise getting her own fashion line, but all is better now that her dad’s rep denied it.

-I’m torn: part of me really likes the bikini Keira Knightley is wearing in her honeymoon photos, but the other part of me is wondering if she looks so happy having her picture taken because she sold these photos, which would be a total bummer.

-Speaking of bikini photos, Heidi Klum’s abs are sick.

-Gwyneth Paltrow reportedly ordered two boxes of People magazine’s Most Beautiful issue featuring her on the cover.

-Oh, and she’s reportedly planning to open a pop-up restaurant in London. Seriously, she’s just making it too easy at this point…

-Barbara Walters announced her retirement from The View today, saying “I’m not walking into the sunset.”

-The Hollywood Reporter reunited the writers of shows like Buffy and The X-Files for their latest issue.

-Speaking of Buffy, Joss Whedon finally joined Twitter!

-Anne Hathaway‘s endless collection of hats continues to fascinate me.

-Selena Gomez confirmed that she and Justin Bieber are over…for now.

-Meanwhile, The Biebz brought his mummy up on stage for Mother’s Day.

-The network upfronts continue this week (they are basically ginormously expensive and flashy presentations that TV networks host for potential advertisers to tell them all about the upcoming season, which could have been accomplished with an email.) NBC made some truly weird decisions (especially about Thursday nights: Parks and Rec at 8? Parenthood at 10?!), but some of their new shows look solid. Their best trailer by far is for Michael J. Fox’ new show. Bunk! Marie!

-And here’s some trailers for Fox’s new shows.

-In other TV news, the New Girl showrunners break down this season for The A.V. Club.

-The first follow-up to The Lizzie Bennet Diaries launched today.

-Alison Brie plays a roller girl in a new ad. She also just revealed that naked photos of her exist and she’s just waiting for them to surface.

-Shakira delivered some truth bombs about having a baby on Ellen. “Oh my god, he’s purple and wrinkled. What is this?!”

-It looks like Jennifer Aniston has two versions of the same $4k purse. ‘Cause why not?

-Aw man. That adorable couple who sang at a gas station on Leno last week are trained actors who’ve actually appeared on the show before.

-Be honest: how many times have you re-watched the Arrested Development trailer? I’m at four, but that will no doubt double by the end of the week. Here’s a good guide to all the Easter eggs.

-Here’s the trailer for Fruitvale Station, starring Michael B. Jordan of The Wire and Friday Night Lights. This thing got insane buzz at Sundance, winning both the Grand Jury prize and an Audience award.

Carey Mulligan and Stephen Colbert Can’t Read?

-Carey Mulligan and Stephen Colbert talked about The Great Gatsby last night — but both revealed that they hadn’t read the novel because neither of them can read. Carey: “Is lunch in the movie? I don’t know — I’m always too afraid to ask!” Luckily, Levar Burton was there to teach them how!

-Meanwhile, it may be getting slammed by critics but The Great Gatsby‘s early showings opened strong.

-The “Ryan Gosling won’t eat his cereal” vines are kind of perfect. The creator talks about his inspiration here.

-What’s better than watching Tom Cruise run? How about watching Tom Cruise run on The Great Wall?

-Warning: Gwyneth Paltrow may give you a rash.

-Meanwhile, I could listening to drunk Gwyneth Paltrow talking all day. Start around the 5:00 mark, when she admits to eating bread(!).

-Also, Gwyneth showed Bon Appetit magazine what Apple and Moses will be making her for breakfast on Sunday.

-A lame recurring skit on The Tonight Show turn unexpectedly awesome thanks to this incredibly charming couple.

-Tom Hardy‘s marriage to Charlotte Riley has reportedly been “put on hold,” and Noomi Rapace is “comforting” him. Well, they did bond over that puppy.

-Prince Harry was the surprise guest at Michelle Obama’s teaparty, much to the delight of every ovary in a 100 mile radius.

-Justin Bieber says “being taken out by a girl would affect my masculinity.” I dunno. I think being held like a baby by a bodyguard might be worse.

-Also, a new survey reveals everyone hates Justin Bieber, but would maybe vote for Justin Timberlake for president.

-Taylor Swift sent Selena Gomez a video of herself dancing to Selena’s new album, cause they’re BFFs FOREVZ!

-Sorry, Gus Van Sant, but it looks like Joe Wright may be the one to direct Fifty Shades of Grey. (I still haven’t forgiven him for his 2005 Pride and Prejudice adaptation, and this isn’t going to do anything to put him in my good books). Also, Arrow star Stephen Amell says he was considered but passed over for the role of Christian Grey.

-In other surprising movie news, Ansel Elgort has landed the role of Augustus Waters in The Fault In Our Stars. All together now: who?!?

-Kerry Washington is usually en fuego on the red carpet, but I’m really not feeling this look.

-Hayden Panettiere says she’s sleeping on a futon in her friend’s attic as she awaits word on the fate of Nashville.

-It’s official: Zooey Deschanel is completely unrecognisable without her bangs.

-Amanda Bynes‘ parents have finally decided that they might want to pay her a visit. Also, she pled no contest to driving with a suspended license.

-Jimmy Kimmel aired another edition of “Celebrities Read Mean Tweets” last night. Elisabeth Moss‘ reaction is the best.

-Even better: watch Nick Offerman read tweets by Miley Cyrus, Amanda Bynes and Carly Rae Jepsen while chopping and sawing wood.

-Game of Thrones‘ Maisie Williams talks about turning 16 and tweeting at Taylor Swift in this adorable interview.

-Meanwhile, I love that Arya is becoming a popular girls name.

-There was lots of breaking TV news today. NBC has cancelled Go On (but will likely renew Community!), and Fox is bringing back 24. For reals. CBS picked up comedies starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Anna Farris and Will Arnett. Also, Parker Posey just quit her new show — the day after it was picked up.

-I would have been happy if last night’s The Office was its last episode ever instead of next week’s. That was a damn near-perfect episode (assuming you ignore all the Andy stuff).

-Also, I love this feature on what TV shows actors and network execs are watching.

-Speaking of showrunners, here’s a great feature on New Girl‘s Liz Meriweather. Between this and the NYT profile on Shonda Rhimes, it’s a good week for women in TV.

-It’s odd that Vogue gave Kate Upton a cover. Equally odd: the overarching theme of the article is basically how Kate Upton is not fat.

-Sarah Polley‘s Stories We Tell doc opens in the US this weekend, and the reviews are deservedly glowing.

-Just in case you didn’t already guess this, it’s not a good idea to let Zach Galifianakis give you a haircut.

-Michael Cera not only got a writing credit on the new season of Arrested Development, he’s also a producer.

-90210‘s Shenae Grimes just got married. It’s not often you read an article about a celeb’s wedding that includes the line, ”The bride walked down the aisle to house music.”

-Oh merde. Paris Hilton is making a new album.

-I love that Lauren Graham is doing a press tour for her new book, because she’s delightful! (Also, her novel debuted at No. 15 on the NYT Bestseller’s list.)

-Speaking of authors, David Foster Wallace‘s commencement speech went viral this week — five years after his death.

-Want to watch Mariah Carey pose awkwardly on a motorcycle? Check out her new video with Miguel.

-Penn Badgley talks about dating Blake Lively in a new interview with Elle.

-The full Gravity trailer has landed and it looks amazing! See Alfonso Cuarón strand George Clooney and Sandra Bullock in outer space. (The trailer seems mostly comprised of the rumoured 20-minute, uninterrupted opening scene depicting said stranding.)

Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder Split

(The CW)

-Amid a few weeks of rumours, Us Weekly is reporting that Vampire Diaries stars Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder have broken up. (People has since confirmed it.) Line face

-Gerard Butler raised some eyebrows by asking photographers to delete photos of him chatting up Miranda Kerr, cementing all of those rumours we’ve heard about Orlando Bloom’s wife. She doesn’t seem to fussed by all the whispers, though. She just Instagrammed a photo of herself in a bra.

-Meanwhile, Gwyneth Paltrow also enjoyed a little flirting with Miranda Kerr.

-Also, Gwyneth just risked Anna Wintour‘s wrath by bad-mouthing the MET Gala. Does she have a death wish?!

-Whatever I may think of her as a showrunner, I must admit that I really liked the NYT profile on Shonda Rhimes.

-This week is the network upfronts, which means we’re getting flooded with renewal/cancelation news. Fox picked up four new dramas (but passed on pilots starring Emma Roberts and Felicity Huffman). I’m more intrigued by their new comedies, which feature Andy Samberg, Seth Green and Alexis Bledel.

-Also at Fox, Idol is expected to drop all four of its current judges and executive producer Nigel Lythgoe. Randy Jackson was the first to go, breaking the news in a “yo!” filled statement.

-Meanwhile, Mariah Carey just dropped Randy Jackson as her manager.

-Over at NBC, expect new series from FNL‘s Jason Katims and Lost’s JJ Abrams (though they passed on pilots from Charlize Theron and Carlton Cuse).

-Ned Stark is heading back to TV. Check out the teaser for Sean Bean‘s new TV spy drama.

-Prepare for your next climb over The Wall with this Game Of Thrones camping gear.

-I’m exhausted just reading about Britney Spears’ workout regime.

-Miley Cyrus: ghost hunter.

-Keira Knightley and James Righton are honeymooning in Corsica.

-Mortal Instruments: City of Bones isn’t hitting theaters until August 23, but there is already a sequel in the works, with two stars confirmed to return: Lily Collins and Jamie Campbell-Bower.

-The girl who played Ivy on Gossip Girl is expecting a kid with Fitz and The Tantrums musician Michael Fitzpatrick.

-Here’s the part when Lil Wayne tries to convince us that his seizures have nothing to do with sirrup.

-I like that Buzzfeed is basically making it their mission to get Bunheads renewed.

-Dammit if I didn’t find Victoria Beckham a total charmbomb in this video interview. “I’m nice! Everyone thinks I’m going to be a cow.”

-This is cute: Scranton, PA hosted the cast of The Office for a series wrap party.

-Breaking Bad‘s Aaron Paul is talking about his “bitch” legacy.

-Avril Lavigne just released a video for “Here’s To Never Growing Up,” which she seems to be taking literally. Seriously, is she reverse-aging?
