Joseph Gordon-Levitt Lip Syncs for Jimmy Fallon

John Krasinski still remains the lip-sync champion of the world, but Joseph Gordon-Levitt turned in a decent performance on last night’s Fallon. Here he is doing “Tiny Dancer” and “Super Bass.”

-Also, Joseph says he has a girlfriend. Um, ok.

-Jimmy Fallon also teamed up with Justin Timberlake (again!) to show us how dumb we sound when we talk in hashtags.

Miley Cyrus is actually wearing clothes on the cover of Fashion. Baby steps!

Nina Dobrev went from dating Ian Somerhalder to dating Derek Hough. #downgrade

Deadmau5 took Pharrell Williams to Tim Hortons when he was in town last weekend — and videotaped it.

-The National Enquirer has reportedly obtained a shot of Zac Efron collapsed in a NYC hotel room on January 3rd after an overdose Oxy — because taking photos instead of calling 911 was totally the right thing to do at that moment.

-Speaking of drug use from squeaky clean stars, Melissa Joan Hart’s new book details her drug-fueled past and Hollywood hookups.

Richard Gere and his wife of 11 years, Carey Lowell, are calling it quits.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Jason Statham were spotted strolling in Paris, putting and end to those split rumours.

Rihanna is Twitter feuding with a 22-year-old singer named Teyana Taylor.

-Despite my love and admiration for all things Joss Whedon, I wasn’t blown away by last night’s premiere of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. It didn’t matter, though; it killed in the ratings.

Chris Brown and Drake have buried the hatchet — for today, at least.

-Remember that huge maple syrup heist that went down in Quebec a few years ago? Jason Segel is turning our national tragedy into a comedy.

-It was Alexander Skarsgard‘s idea to go full monty in the True Blood season finale.

-This wasn’t hard to see coming but it still deserves some serious eyerolls: Blake Lively is starting her own GOOP-ish company.

Kanye West is frustrated that no one will give him financial backing to start a clothing line. No one change that, mmm-kay?

-The thought of Madonna covering an Elliott Smith song makes my stomach hurt.

-Meanwhile, Sean Penn and Madonna were spotted partying together in NYC. How crazy would it be if they reunited?

Lamar Odom surprised everyone (especially his wife, Khloe Kardashian) by tweeting something nice about her.

-Remember that Emmy loser party that Jon Hamm and Amy Poehler hosted? Here’s the funny invite.

Dakota Johnson is already spending her Fifty Shades money. She just dropped $3k on skincare products.

This clip of Emilie Hirsch and Holliday Grainger in a new Bonnie & Clyde TV movie makes me think this movie must only be watched while playing a drinking game.

-My love for Aaron Paul is very well documented, but I just don’t know if I can get behind this Need for Speed trailer. (Though I’m still jealous of Imogen Poots for costarring in not one, but two movies with him.)

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.

Stars Share Their Snaps from The Oscars

Joseph-Gordon-Levitt-daniel-radcliffe

Joseph Gordon-Levitt posted this photo on Facebook with the caption: “Me + Mr. Radcliffe. #Gangster. #Oscars”

-Are you sick of the Oscars yet? If not, check out some of the behind-the-scenes pics that celebs shared on social media.

Michelle Obama was on a roll this weekend! First she danced on Jimmy Fallon’s show, and then she announced last night’s Best Picture.

-Gawker took the time to compile all of Seth MacFarlane‘s sexist, racist and homophobic Oscar jokes, just in case you hate yourself and want to see them again.

Jennifer Lawrence‘s acceptance speech was a bit subdued (I’m guessing her fall on the stairs shook her up a bit, though I love that Bradley Cooper and Hugh Jackman both rushed to help her). But she was back to her charming self soon after, cracking jokes to the reporters backstage (“I’m sorry, I did a shot before. Jesus!”), and then having a total freak-out when Jack Nicholson interrupted her interview. God, I’m starting to love this girl in a way that’s probably not healthy. At least I’m not the only one

-If Joaquin Phoenix couldn’t even pretend to not hate everything about the Oscars when they said his name last night, why’d he even bother to show up?Also, does anyone else think he and Kristen Stewart are destined to become BFFs and form a sulkypants gang?

-Speaking of Kristen Stewart, she’s getting a lot of flak for her appearance. My boss asked why she looked so “sweaty” (though Lainey’s going with “greasy.”) KStew said she was limping because she stepped on broken glass last week, but that still doesn’t explain the arm bruises or dirty hair.

Charlize Theron continued her awesome streak by coming to the aid of an Academy Awards security guard who was having a seizure.

-At an afterparty, Jennifer Lawrence managed to hold court with Bradley Cooper and Leonardo DiCaprio at the same time, making every woman in her immediate radius bow before her.

-Speaking of afterparties, Sally Field became my new hero with this pic, Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson wowed in the style department, Anne Hathaway wore a party dress that might actually be worse than the one she wore to the ceremony, and Modern Family‘s Jesse Ferguson was the king of the photobomb.

-Wanna know what it’s like to watch the Oscars at the Vanity Fair party? Check out this video. And yes, you will want to adopt Amy Poehler after you see it.

-Is it awesome or tacky that Eddie Redmayne‘s girlfriend didn’t buy a new dress for the Oscars?

-Guys, Joanna Newsom and Andy Samberg are getting married!

-In other happy couples news, Christina Applegate married longtime boyfriend/baby daddy Martyn LeNoble.

Janet Jackson just confirmed that she got hitched last year.

Tina Fey looks *incredible* in this Time photo shoot.

-Britney Spears is brunette, y’all!

-I don’t watch Game of Thrones, but everyone I know is very excited about this new Season 3 trailer.

Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen‘s odd buddy movie continues. She’s going to play herself on Anger Management.

-Wait, Tiger Woods and Elin Nordgren are back together?

-Instagram has reportedly threatened to shut down Madonna’s account due to its “mature content.” But where else are we supposed to get officially sanctioned yet surprisingly unflattering photos of her?

Kanye “I Need to be the Centre of the Universe” West has no love for Justin Timerlake and Jay-Z‘s “Suit and Tie.”

-I don’t see anything, but belly bump watchers insist Fergie is starting to show.

Gillian Anderson has landed a role on a new NBC pilot. (She’s also going to star on Hannibal, but only for three episodes — which is good because it sort of feels like the network is trying to bury that show before it even premieres.)

-In other TV news, Maya Rudolph might be bringing back the variety show.

Jimmy Kimmel‘s post-Oscars special resulted in another Movie: The Movie spoof trailer, but I laughed more when Jamie Foxx serenaded Channing Tatum.

Lindsay Lohan Just Can’t Help Herself

lindsay-lohan-max-george

-This week in “Lindsay Lohan Doesn’t Deserve The Internet” News, she Instagrammed a bedroom shot of herself with The Wanted’s Max George, and then Tweeted about the anniversary of Heath Ledger‘s death for attention.

-Speaking of gross tweets, Carl’s Jr. really outdid themselves with this one.

-The Beyonce lip-synching scandal is really sad, especially when you hear how great she was in soundcheck. The Marine Corps Band has retracted its earlier statement, making the whole thing even cloudier.

-Also sad: is Bey turning into GOOP?

-Speaking of Beyonce, is she working on a collab with H&M?

Joseph Gordon-Levitt just scored the biggest deal to come out of Sundance 2013 yet, selling his directorial debut Don Jon’s Addiction to Relativity for wide release.

Britney Spears removed her $90,000 engagement ring and replaced it with sideboob. Is she reverting back to her old ways?

Selena Gomez seems to be doing just fine without Justin Bieber, partying until 2:30 a.m. with a new guy.

-This is the freakiest thing I’ve seen in a while. It’s what happens when your brain can’t fully process the whole image and fills in the details, apparently.

Russell Crowe just proved he has a sense of humour (!) by retweeting this.

-Swatting is a stupid and terrible new trend, but does the fact that Chris Brown and Kris Jenner are the latest targets make it just a hair less stupid and terrible?

-The woman who played Mrs. Garrett on Facts of Life just revealed her husband was gay. You take the good, you take the bad…

-ABC just pulled Don’t Trust the B in Apt 23 from its schedule. Do you know what this means? Both Dawson and Pacey have disappeared from our TV screens in the span of a week. Sigh.

James Van Der Beek has already responded to the news. Sadly, it was not with this.

-Speaking of TV, I wasn’t keen on the idea of a Vampire Diaries spinoff until I found out it was going to focus on this guy. Sold!

Jessica Alba‘s umbrella holder = worst job in the world?

-Ya gotta give James Franco this: the man just won’t stop trying.

Chris Pratt shared some adorable photos of his new kid on Ellen.

-Speaking of babies, Shakira has arrived at the hospital to give birth.

Rihanna is following Justin Bieber‘s lead and showing off a butt pic on social media.

Lindsay Lohan has reportedly turned down Dancing with the Stars. So far.

-Woah. David Fincher is in talks to direct Gone Girl.

-The new trailer for At Any Price, starring Zac Efron and Dennis Quaid, has landed. Is this just a really quickly turned-around sequel to Promised Land?

Photos: Kristen Stewart Cheated On Robert Pattinson with Director Rupert Sanders

-[Update: Someone got an advanced copy of Us Weekly and scanned the photos. Ooh boy. Now we know why there’s been no denial from her camp]

-I was once in a grocery story line and the woman in front of my was buying Life & Style or InTouch (can’t remember which – those two are interchangeable to me) which was emblazoned with it’s millionth “Brangelina Splits!” cover, and I actually talked her out of it. Like, I just couldn’t watch her throw her money away on it. I told her if you want sleaze, try Star. If you want a greater chance of there being more truth nuggets buried amongst the sleaze, go with Us Weekly, (who, at the very least, always reaches out to the reps for official comment). And if you want kind of boring but rep-approved story, stick with People. They may be butt-kissers when it comes to celebrities, but they have a rep for not just making shit up. So I nearly did a spit take when this story from People showed up in my Twitter feed: ‘Kristen Stewart Cheats On Robert Pattinson with Director. What. The. Hell. Her camp and the director’s have yet to comment, which leads me to wonder if their source is a friend of RPattz or the director’s wife (her tweets last night and this Instagram might be telling), or if it’s KStew‘s camp trying to get in front of the story. Gossip Cop (who’s raison d’etre is to punch holes in stories like these) is confirming it by quoting a “source close to the actress.” Us Weekly‘s cover shot with her and Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders (who, btw, is 41 and married with two kids) is also pretty incriminating. Poor Robert Pattinson. The Breaking Dawn promo tour just got really sad.

-Whatever my opinion of Christian Bale in the past, I’ve gotta give him props for trying to quietly visit the Aurora shooting victims.

-Meanwhile, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is the latest Dark Knight star to offer his condolences.

-Just in case you were suffering under the delusion that the Jacksons are a normal, well-adjusted family comes news that Janet, Randy and Jermaine Jackson wanna be startin’ something by allegedly attempting to forcibly take away Michael‘s kids. And now comes reports that Janet and Paris got into a slapping match during the fray.

Sherman Hemsley has passed away. Cue a million ‘moving on up…to heaven’ headlines.

Emma Watson is reportedly being considered to star in the film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey. The only way I could hate this news more is if it was being sung by Gwyneth Paltrow to the tune of “Call Me Maybe”…

-Speaking of Carly Rae Jepsen, her new music video has landed.

-This is what happens when every member of a cast scores an Emmy nod: the contract negotiations get ugly. The adults in the cast of Modern Family have pulled a Friends, skipping this morning’s table read and filing a lawsuit that claims their current contracts are illegal.

-Grab a pillow and try to smother the sobbing sounds you’re sure to emit upon hearing this news: Mariah Carey will reportedly get paid $18 million for one season on Idol.

Dina Lohan: accused dine and dasher.

-The first TIFF films have been announced, and it looks like I’m in for some heavy duty star stalking movie watching.

Rihanna and Chris Brown are both vacationing in France, but his rep insists they’re not together.

-Meanwhile, Rihanna says she hurt her foot while playing bartender.

-The guy who plays Simon on Misfits has just joined the Game of Thrones cast. Aw, man. Now I have to start watching that show!

Jonathan Rhys Meyers as a vampire? Yeah, I’d watch that.

Michael Madsen will star in Justin Bieber’s new video? Yeah, I’d watch that too.

Wayne Gretzky is starring in a funny new College Humor video on trick shots.

-Speaking of today’s viral videos, this history of wooing one is everywhere.

Jennifer Hudson‘s ex-brother-in-law just got three life sentences for the murders of her mother, brother and nephew.

-The promo for the new season of Homeland suggests Carrie‘s shock therapy may have worked a little too well.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Says He Was Too “Snobby” To Go To Prom

-In his new interview with GQ, Joseph Gordon-Levitt proves he’s pretty much the only person in the universe who can gush about how curation “is the art form of the twenty-first century” without making me roll my eyes. Much.

-If you missed out on the recent Twitter four-way between Community‘s Yvette Nicole Brown, The Help’s Octavia Spencer, Parks and Recreation‘s Retta, and True Blood‘s Joe Manganiello, you’re probably going to want to drop everything and read it. Like, now.

Tom Cruise and Suri have reunited. Anyone else betting there’s a puppy in her immediate future?

-Meanwhile, the car Katie Holmes and Suri were driving in was side-swiped by a dumptruck.

Zach Galifianakis is sporting a black eye for reasons unknown.

-When weird/twee meets weird/dirty: Wes Anderson‘s next film will star Johnny Depp.

-I really, really want to love The Newsroom, but this week’s episode may have lost me forevs. Why are all the women so damn obnoxious? And how is caring about what celebrities wore to the People’s Choice Awards the sign of a terrible human being, but calling a woman you just met a “bitch” heroic? Donne moi un break.

-The new Passion Pit album is streaming in full at NPR.

Anne Hathaway knows that her new movie is going to blow away the box office for the rest of the summer, right? She doesn’t have to do stuff like this.

-At least Anne looked amazeballs at last night’s Dark Knight Rises premiere.

-I wasn’t as enthralled with Louis CK’s response to Tosh-gate as the rest of the world seems to be, but that’s mostly because I bristled at his “feminists can’t take a joke” comment — which I guess proves his point. Dude, please go back to talking about sad handjobs and stop giving me reasons for serious introspection.

Casper Smart says his relationship with Jennifer Lopez wasn’t “love at first sight.” Was it “love at first glance of her bank statement?”

-Joss Stone claims she’s broke. On the plus side, she doesn’t seem to spend much on shoes.

-There’s a Coachella cruise? And Girl Talk, Hot Chip and Pulp will be on it? Can I exchange next year’s festival ticket for this instead?!

-There’s a new promo poster for The New Girl. Bangs are a major theme.

Weird Al is hosting a pretty hilarious YouTube show called Face to Face (tagline: “we talk to the celebrities of the world so you don’t have to!”). This week’s “guests:” Robert Pattinson and Pierce Bronsan.

-Vulture is guessing at six possible ways Breaking Bad could end. I’m going on the record and guessing No. 4.

Emma Roberts is dating the creepy, creepy dude from American Horror Story (who is probably not so creepy in real life. I hope.)

-We heard the song yesterday, and now here’s the video for No Doubt‘s new single.

Lindsay Lohan’s Racy New Role

-Good news for Lindsay Lohan: she landed a role in Bret Eaton Ellis’ new film. Bad news for Lindsay Lohan: her costar is a porn star, it’s going straight to VOD/Netflix, and it might require some full frontal.

-Whenever I glance quickly at photos of Anne Hathaway’s new fiance, I always mistake him for Ryan Gosling. Well played, Hathaway!

-Speaking of Ryan, here’s a photo of his tongue — just because I love you.

Cameron Diaz has clearly been hanging around Gwyneth Paltrow too long. She’s going all GOOPY and writing a book on nutrition.

-Speaking of stars-turned-authors, Diane Keaton says she’s writing a book about “beauty, aging and being a woman.”

-I’d have loved to be in the room when Vanity Fair took this photo of Paramount’s biggest stars. Also, there are 116 people in that photo and yet my eyes instantly gravitated to George Clooney. It’s a sickness. (Cloomydia?)

-Meanwhile, those clever folks at Vulture have compiled nine love triangles suggested by the Paramount photo.

Angelina Jolie continues to use her genetic perfection for good instead of evil, shooting a PSA for World Refugee Day.

-In other do-gooder news, Shia LaBeouf volunteered with some disadvantaged youth in L.A.

Matthew McConaughey stepped out wearing his new wedding band (yay!) and a shirt (boo!).

Avril Lavigne pulled a Rihanna and shaved off half of her hair.

-Why is Channing Tatum sporting a black eye? More importantly, when did I suddenly start caring about Channing Tatum’s health and well being? This is worrisome…

Willow and Wesley (or Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof, as they probably prefer to be called) named their new daughter Keeva. I don’t hate it.

Carrie Underwood wins us over (just a bit) by coming out in support of gay marriage.

-In surprisingly happy celebrity couples news, Kobe Bryant‘s divorce may be off.

-I wanted to love Take This Waltz much more than I did, but at least it landed Michelle Williams one of her most stunning mag covers yet.

Girls creator/star Lena Dunham is movin’ on up to an apartment in Brooklyn Heights.

-Meanwhile, Lena says HBO was wary of last week’s peeing scene.

Leonardo DiCaprio indulged in some mild PDA with girlfriend Erin Heatherton in NYC yesterday.

-Is it just me, or did Drew Barrymore’s belly bump come out of nowhere?!

Malin Akerman says she and Tom Cruise share the “tongue-iest tongue kiss of all time” in Rock of Ages. Yay?

Joseph Gordon-Levitt makes cycling look like a contact sport in the Premium Rush trailer.
