Amanda Bynes Gets Two Mugshots, Both Terrible

amanda-bynes-mugshot

(Midtown Precinct North Station/AKM-GSI)

-According to publicist Jonathan Jaxson, Amanda Bynes was arrested after he got the police to go to her home by offering “proof” that she was suicidal. He calls the arrest “a successful intervention.” (But aren’t interventions supposed to included loved ones and banners?)

-Oh, and she showed up in court today looking like this. She told the judge that the bong-like object she threw out her window when the cops arrived was “just a vase.” Meanwhile, her parents are reportedly seeking conservatorship.

-Breaking Bad‘s Aaron Paul is rumoured to be getting married this weekend. Sigh.

-Weird feud of the day: Danielle Fishel vs. Bob Saget.

-Just in case this GIF didn’t already convince you, Taylor Swift wants the world to know that she doesn’t approve of BFF Selena Gomez’s relationship with Justin Bieber.

-Meanwhile, Selena was spotted at dinner with Justin’s BFF Jaden Smith.

-At least Julianne Moore has a sense of humour about “toemageddon.”

-I’m thrilled that Before Midnight is getting rave reviews (96% on Rotten Tomatoes!). I’m less thrilled that it’s not coming to Canada for a few more weeks. I actually stomped my foot when I found that out. Like, a full-on stomp.

-You know, it would take a lot to get me to watch American Idol, but having past winners as judges could nudge me in that direction. Jennifer Hudson has already signed on, and Kelly Clarkson is expected to soon follow suit.

-Morgan Freeman‘s explanation for why he fell asleep in an interview is adorabs! “I’m a beta tester for Google Eyelids. I was merely updating my Facebook page.”

-Katie Holmes and costar Luke Kirby were “almost holding hands” offset. What does that even mean?!

-Brad Pitt said some nice things about Gwyneth Paltrow‘s late father.

-Meanwhile, he convinced Muse to perform at World War Z‘s premiere.

-Aaron Carter is offering #tipsforgirls on his Twitter. For reals.

-I don’t watch it, but good on Toronto-shot Rookie Blue for returning to good ratings last night on ABC. And it killed it in Canada.

-Jason Sudeikis says he’s on the fence about returning to SNL next year. Perhaps he’s been reading the reactions to his We’re The Millers trailer?

-I only got to watch the first four minutes of Mariah Carey‘s GMA performance this morning before I had to leave for work, but I thought nothing could top her having to be practically carried up the stairs and complaining about how she didn’t have time to put on her microphone. I was wrong.

-Lindsay Lohan‘s “dealer” claims she spent $15,000 on cocaine and pills. It probably says something terrible about me that I read that and thought “that’s it?”

-That kid who asked Kate Upton to the prom but got turned down ended up getting the last laugh: supermodel Nina Agdal took him instead.

-There’s a Girls porn parody, and Lena Dunham is not thrilled about it.

-The last of Robert Pattinson’s moving trucks were spotted leaving Kristen Stewart‘s house. Meanwhile, she back to flipping the bird at the paps.

-On the other end of the spectrum, have you ever seen Reese Witherspoon smile so hard for the paps? Ever?

-A film that features a 10-minute lesbian sex scene might actually walk away with the top prize at this year’s Cannes.

-I love the fact that the Toronto Police had to put out a release warning people not to drive like idiots after watching Fast & Furious 6 this weekend.

-Elisabeth Moss was on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live last night, and she was amazing. She dissed Jeremy Piven and talked about Jon Hamm’s junk.

-Jon Stewart decided to spend his summer vacation with Gael Garcia Bernal. Can I come?

-Hanson made a beer called MMMhops. Puns!

-A bunch of TV critics weigh in on whether or not we should binge-watch Arrested Development this weekend. Meanwhile, here are four brand new clips.

-Lea Michele is writing a book (groan!) and it’s titled Brunette Ambition (double groan!).

-Jennifer Lawrence had some issues with Bradley Cooper’s kissing technique while filming Silver Linings Playbook. I wonder if he needs a second opinion, ’cause I can make myself available.

-Wait, did we know that Melanie Laurent is pregnant?! Also, why isn’t she a ginormous star in the US yet? Universe, make that happen!

-The first trailer for Vince Vaughn‘s Delivery Man (which is a US adaptation of the French-Canadian Starbuck) has landed.

Miranda Kerr Has a Bad Week; Amanda Bynes Arrested

miranda-kerr-nip-slip

(Instagram.com/mirandakerr)

-Miranda Kerr raised some eyebrows after posing for sexy pic with a man who’s not Orlando Bloom, and then raised something else when she was photographed suffering a double(!) nip slip.

-Another day, another Amanda Bynes breakdown. She was kicked off a private plane when she didn’t have any I.D. and demanded the pilot “Google her” to verify her identity. This follows her claims that InTouch doctored photos of her “drug-fueled house party.” The proof? Her toes. [Update: She was arrested last night for throwing a bong out of a 36th floor window.  The potential upside is that her arrest included a psychiatric evaluation.]

-Ellen‘s take-down of Abercrombie & Fitch is great.

-Even though everyone’s clamouring for an exclusive interview about her surgeries, Angelina Jolie isn’t talking.

-Brad Pitt is talking enough for the both of them, though. He’s revealed that he thinks he suffers from a condition called prosopagnosia that makes it hard to remember people’s faces. Uh…sorry?

-Meanwhile, Brad continues to bust his butt to keep World War Z from being a bust, showing up at an early screening in New Jersey to hand out t-shirts.

-Brad’s BFF George Clooney was spotted enjoying dinner in London this week.

-Speaking of dinners in London, the latest issue of GOOP kills me. I love that Gwyneth Paltrow makes it seem like she kept having to leave the party to prepare dinner. They were at Mark’s Place, which is a renowned private supper club that has a Zagat rating of 21. Take a seat, Gwynnie — the chefs got this!

-Julianne Moore talks about all the crap interview questions actresses are asked that actors aren’t.

-Along those lines, Sony studio chief Amy Pascal says in a candid interview that the Hollywood system’s geared for women directors to fail.

-Lady Gaga is making her big screen debut in Machete Kills. Watch the (very blurry) trailer.

-Janet Jackson can afford a whole lotta escapades now — she just joined the ranks of Hollywood’s billionaires’ club.

-Some dude pretended to be Psy at Cannes and everyone fell for it, proving my theory that if you walk around with bodyguards you can get into anywhere.

-Meanwhile, Nicole Kidman continues to kill it in Cannes. I like this look, too (which is actually the dress Anne Hathaway was planning to wear to the Oscars). She loses me a bit with these pants though.

-Andrew Garfield dressed up as Spider-Man to play basketball with some New York City kids.

-I don’t usually watch Nashville but maybe I would if the drama were as exciting onscreen as it is off. There’s lots of talk that the next season will be filmed in L.A. to appease Connie Britton, and that’s not making the locals happy. This comes on the heels of reports there’s tension between the ABC and Lionsgate,  not to mention the dishy editorial a producer’s wife wrote after the show didn’t renew his contract.

-I really hope someone makes a “Morgan Freeman Is Sleepy” meme out of this.

-The best thing about Arrested Development’s imminent arrival (besides the fact that we get new episodes in a few days)? We’re also swimming in cast interviews. Here’s one with Jason Bateman and David Cross, and another with too-close cousins Michael Cera and Alia Shawkat.

-Meanwhile, someone needs to make these Arrested Development-themed emojis downloadable STAT!

-People.com just posted the world’s most terrifying GIF of Katie Holmes.

-Apparently, Beyonce ordered a nicoise salad, so everyone has backed off the pregnancy speculation because tuna is bad for the baby basket or something.

-Wait, were Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev engaged?

-Amanda Seyfried says she misses her boobs, which she lost after she was pressured to lose weight for Hollywood.

-Katy Perry might have a vitamin problem.

-I had no idea Ron Livingston and Rosemarie Dewitt were even together, let alone that they were expecting. In any case, mazel!

-If you’re interviewing Will Ferrell, it’s a good idea to turn off your phone. Otherwise, your mom might call and he’ll pick it up.

-Jonah Hill was spotted smooching his ex-girlfriend. Does that mean he’s done bro-ing around with Leonardo DiCaprio?

-Speaking of Leo, this photo of him partying in Cannes says it all, doesn’t it?

-I’m glad that Tatiana Maslany got a Critic’s Choice nomination. Orphan Black isn’t perfect, but she’s astounding in it. (Speaking of Orphan Black, the pilot is available for free on iTunes right now.)

-Jennifer Aniston shows a lot of skin in the new We’re The Millers trailer. (The film doesn’t look great, but Ken Marino and Nick Offerman are both in it so I’ll give it a chance.) Also, did anyone read her interview in EW a couple of weeks ago where she completely trashed her character’s soccer mom wardrobe? Doesn’t she know that soccer moms are her target demo these days?

-I love this fake horror movie trailer starring Anna Camp. FOMO is scary.

-The trailer for Don Jon, written and directed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, has arrived. Early screenings are earning raves – and it’s easy to see why.

Kristen Stewart Bonds with Taylor Swift After Splitting from Robert Pattinson

-Kristen Stewart (photographed Monday night looking happy) is reportedly hanging out with Taylor Swift in the wake of the Robsten breakup. Well, if anyone can guide someone through the pain of a broken heart, it’s good ol’ Swifty.

-There’s also a shady report from The Sun about RPattz leaving her because he found a text from Rupert Sanders on her phone the morning of his birthday.

-Meanwhile, here’s a good analysis from Lainey on how both Pattinson and Stewart‘s camps are playing it in the press.

-Ellen staged a mini-Friends reunion with Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry and Courteney Cox, proving once and for all that the world doesn’t need a real one. Also, Jen’s is the only face that doesn’t look completely jacked!

-Justin Bieber is trying to get everyone who comes to his parties to sign waivers because nothing says rock ‘n roll like legal documents.

-Also, Justin is the 7th most popular woman on the internet, according to Fox News.

-Kate Middleton gifted us with another belly bump sighting today.

-Danny McBride and Maya Rudolph teamed up for a GQ photo shoot entitled “Awkward Family Photos” — and it’s awesome.

-The late night talk shows are having a field day with our buffoon of a mayor. Here’s Jon Stewart’s take on Rob Ford, and here’s Jimmy Kimmel’s. This pre-scandal spoof is still my fave, though.

-Leonardo DiCaprio got repeatedly shot down by a 20-year-old model, who is now my personal hero.

-Ryan Gosling‘s new movie Only God Forgives just joined the ranks of films to be loudly booed at Cannes. I’ve never seen a crankier audience than at that festival (while I’ve never seen a more kiss-assy audience than at TIFF).

-January Jones still has no interest in giving up the name of her baby daddy, thankyouverymuch.

-Emma Roberts just joined the cast of American Horror Story.

-In other odd casting news, Rumer Willis is set to become a Pretty Little Liar.

-Rumer’s mother Demi is dating a guy who had a pearl inserted into his dick because apparently that’s something people do?

-Here’s a photo from Gwyneth Paltrow‘s new Hugo Boss ad campaign, which reportedly netted her a cool $2 million.

-Meanwhile, I’m really digging the leather belt Gwyneth wore with her Prabal Gurung dress, but I seem to be in the minority.

-Speaking of fashion, I want to marry Marion Cotillard’s Dior dress!

-Also at Cannes, Bai Ling is back!

-A few days ago I was eating oysters at 1am on a Sunday night in a crowded restaurant and giving the exact same speech about NYC that Aziz Ansari gave last night on Fallon.

-A new Anchorman 2 teaser has landed.

-Eva Longoria just tweeted that she’s completed her master’s degree. Huh?

-How freakin’ adorable are Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield?

-Meanwhile, Emma’s opening up about supporting her mom through a cancer ordeal.

-I love that Michelle Rodriguez says that she basically just wrote her own Fast & Furious character as she was filming the series because there wasn’t much on the page.

-Sweet! The next season of Luther is landing this summer. Between this and Pacific Rim, it’s shaping up to be a Idris Elba-heavy season.

-This is cool: NPR has created an app for watching Arrested Development.

-Meanwhile, the creator really doesn’t want everyone to binge-watch all the new episodes in one weekend, but we’re all going to ignore that advice, right?

-I like Game of Thrones, but I LOVE FunnyorDie’s Gay of Thrones recaps.

-I really did try to get through Rolling Stone‘s entire interview with Jared Leto. It’s just so eye-rolly.

-Speaking of eye-rolly, here’s video of Ke$ha peeing into a bottle and then drinking it. I have never, ever in my life sided with the stupid Parent’s TV Council, but they might have a point with this one.

-Bill Murray is making kids cry — and being hilarious about it.

-Comedians Marc Maron and Michael Ian Black got into a pretty epic catfight on Twitter this week.

-Watch Girls Gone Wild mogul Joe Francis (who was found guilty of falsely imprisoning three women in his Bel-Air home) rant about how his jury “should be euthanized.” Stay classy, kid.

-One of the jurors has already responded with confirmation that he is not, in fact, “retarded.”

-I love that Behind the Candelabra is getting rave reviews. Currently 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. I think there should be viewing parties for this thing on Sunday night.

-The new trailer for The World’s End (which is still different from This Is The End — one of those movies is going to get lost this summer) is fantastic. Robots? Robots!

-The Stuck in Love trailer looks super charming. Jennifer Connelly and Lily Collins were made to play mother and daughter (or at least their eyebrows were).

-Speaking of trailers, here’s the new one for Blood Ties, starring Clive Owen, Marion Cotillard and Mila Kunis.

Brad Pitt Greases Up the Cover of Esquire

brad-pitt-esquire-cover

-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 JolieThat 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

gywneth-paltrow-punk-met

(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 LenoDave” 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

angelina-jolie-removing-ovaries

-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. & Mrs. Smith. (Twentieth Century Fox)

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!
