-I can’t believe this John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John music video actually exists, but I’m incredibly grateful for the string of terrible decisions that made it happen. It’s worth all the premature wrinkles cringing from it will bring. I think I’ll even add this GIF to my sig.

-Our lady of GOOPiness Gwyneth Paltrow just said that she doesn’t think women can have it all. Gasp!

Taylor Swift and Harry Styles spent a second night together. Is anyone else getting a little skeeved out that the world is tracking their sleepovers?

Uma Thurman has taken baby names to obnoxious new levels: her new daughter’s has a whopping seven words (and one hyphen): Rosalind Arusha Arkadina Altalune Florence Thurman-Busson.

Kristen Stewart‘s married fling Rupert Sanders was photographed hugging it out with his wife.

-Meanwhile, more photos(!) have surfaced of Kristen and RPattz together — and these ones show actual kissing. How were they taken at her house? Are paps actually hiding in her kitchen cupboards at this point?

Joaquin Phoenix really does not want an Oscar: “I think it’s total, utter bullshit.” Well, if he keeps burying his amazing performances in mindnumbingly boring films, he should be safe. (What? Just me?)

-I recently had a 20 min conversation about all the cool stuff Bill Murray has pulled during fan encounters (the fake trailer, the from behind sneak-up, the guest bartending, etc) and we still didn’t cover it all. And now comes this handy guide to hunting Bill!

-Uh-oh. It may be the best reviewed show of the new season, but Nashville’s ratings tanked last night.

-Speaking of Connie Britton projects, here’s the new trailer for The Fitzgerald Family Christmas.
