Justin Bieber Reaches New Heights of Douchiness During Deposition

justin-bieber-deposition

-I’m not sure how even the most hardcore Justin Bieber fan can defend him after watching his jerky behaviour on this deposition video. (I love how his lawyers tried to cover for the fact that he doesn’t seem to know the difference between “detrimental” and “instrumental.”)

-Meanwhile, did Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez spend the weekend together? People reports they had a romantic breakfast on Friday in Texas, while a rumoured sighting at a local Footlocker attracted swarms of tweens and shut down a mall.

-Is Prince Harry and Cressida Bones‘ sudden burst of public appearances meant to distract us from Prince William and Kate?

-Does this Instagram video feature audio of Blue Ivy singing “Drunk in Love” with Beyonce?

-Here’s Miley Cyrus in Marc Jacobs’ new campaign. I can’t imagine anyone who can afford to buy MJ would appreciate this, but what do I know?

-I don’t usually watch The Voice but I saw an episode a couple of weeks ago and Shakira was a g.d. delight! So her new interview with Billboard is really depressing, especially the part where she calls her boyfriend, Spanish footballer Gerard Piqué, “territorial” and says he doesn’t let her do music videos with men anymore. Sigh.

Christian Bale and his wife Sibi Blazic are expecting their second child.

-After being spotted in Brussels and Amsterdam, Rihanna and Drake were then seen together in London. When are we officially allowed to get our hopes up about this?

-In other reunion news, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones were spotted holding hands.

Andrew Garfield continues to disprove last week’s stupid rumour about him snubbing Batkid at the Oscars by inviting the lil’ guy to the Amazing Spider-Man 2 premiere.

-Fox renewed The Mindy Project, but cancelled Raising Hope. I’m still hoping against logic that Enlisted makes it.

Craig Ferguson is set produce a TV version of the Facebook page ‘I F*cking Love Science.’

-In her new side-booby cover story for New York Magazine, Elisabeth Moss talks about her “extremely traumatic and awful and horrible” marriage to Fred Armisen. (Also, I had no idea she was a Scientologist.)

Katie Holmes is returning to TV in a new ABC drama, which may be a great career move for her.

-I don’t watch Veep, but this new promo makes me think I should start.

-Speaking of new TV promos, here’s the latest for Orphan Black, and a new one for Game of Thrones.

Beyonce, Jane Lynch, Jennifer Garner and more want to ban the word “bossy.” Amen.

-Speaking of Jennifer Garner, I’m really hoping this blind item has nothing to do with her household, but this and this make me wonder.

Zac Efron says he hasn’t ruled out the possibility of another High School Musical movie.

-With the crazy amount of good TV one last night, I missed the premiere of Lindsay Lohan’s reality show. The ratings were just so-so.

-Speaking of last night’s TV, I’m surprised more people aren’t pissed at True Detective’s finale. I liked it, but then again I didn’t fall down the supernatural, Yellow King theory rabbit hole.

-Meanwhile, the HBO Go app crashed halfway through last night’s episode and the internet lost its shit.

-As for the next season, creator Nic Pizzoletto teases, “Hard women, bad men, and the secret occult history of the US transportation system.”

-Hey, remember when Stacy Keibler was dating George Clooney and kept trying to convince us that she’d be happy without ever getting married or having kids if that’s what George wanted? They only broke up six months ago, and she’s already gotten hitched to her new boyfriend.

-Need a good cry? The Simpsons bids farewell to Mrs. Krabappel in her final scene.

-I don’t know if it was the time change or just a general weekend hangover, but today was rough. This stream of Kylie Minogue’s new album helped out a lot. (Yes, there’s a song called “Sexercise.” Yes, it’s awesome.)

-Congrats to Glee Harry Shum Jr., who popped the question to his girlfriend Shelby Rabara in Hawaii. I really hope that proposal included some poppin’ n lockin’.

-In order to prep for the Veronica Mars movie (only 4 more days, marshmallows — and the early reviews are good), here’s the definitive ranking of all 64 episodes.

Ian Somerhalder did a cover shoot with Esquire China and was all kinds of charming in this behind-the-scenes video.

-Remember last week, when Cate Blanchett and Amy Adams were spotted outside a tattoo parlour? Rumour has it they might have inked a tribute to pal Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Frank Ocean is not a fan of Chipotle.

Christin Milioti knows what you think is going to happen to her How I Met Your Mother character, and she thinks you’re “insane.” (Or does she??)

-Uh oh. Is Paula Patton thinking of taking Robin Thicke back?

Lena Dunham‘s SNL had some highs and lows, and her Adam & Eve skit was definitely a high.

-A Miley Cyrus fan has been detained after sneaking into the singer’s dressing room and tweeting about it.

Liam Neeson almost played James Bond, but Natasha Richardson wanted to get married instead.

-Aw man, the Normal Heart trailer just gave me goosebumps. Taylor Kitsch, Matt Bomer and Julia Roberts are all great, but no one can hit me in my heart guts quite like Mark Ruffalo.

Aubrey Plaza Gets Sexy and Sarcastic for GQ

aubrey-plaza-bikini-gq
-Kind of disappointed that Aubrey Plaza posed in a bikini for GQ, but she was redeemed by trolling her interviewer (in a hilarious, deadpan way with an interviewer who seems on board with it).

-Speaking of Aubrey, she stars in a fake Daria trailer. This needs to go from fake to real STAT!

Kristen Wiig and Fabrizio Moretti have reportedly split.

-Hmmmm….word is Rosamund Pike scored the female lead in the Gone Girl movie. Not sure how I feel about that.

-Meanwhile, Amanda Bynes‘ parents have finally (finally!) filed for conservatorship.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Ewan McGregor may join Johnny Depp’s new movie.

-Last night on the Tonight Show, Glee’s Jayma Mays freaked out Ashton Kutcher with her ear-bug story.

-I’m not 100% sold on what Diane Kruger is doing on The Bridge, but she’s still adorable with Joshua Jackson.

Nina Dobrev posted some cute photos from costar Paul Wellsley‘s birthday celebrations.

-This is what Shakira looks like six months after giving birth. What? How? What?

Heidi Klum says all those topless Instagram photos she posts are taken by her mom, like that makes it somehow ok.

Oprah will once again submit to being interviewed by David Letterman. This should be fun.

-The cast and crew of Glee gathered together today for a private Cory Monteith memorial.

-Here’s the new trailer for A Single Shot starring Sam Rockwell and William H. Macy.

Taylor Swift‘s transformation into a real-life Disney princess is complete. Here she is playing Rapunzel in a new ad campaign.

-Does Gwyneth Paltrow have Cameron Diaz‘s va-jay-jay on lockdown?

-I’m a big fan of podcasts but haven’t added Alec Baldwin‘s to my usual rotation yet. I think I might have to after hearing his latest with Lena Dunham, in which she gushes about Under the Umbrella Tree and bemoans Rihanna’s recent behaviour.

-Congrats to Kelly Osbourne. She’s secretly (well, not anymore) engaged to boyfriend Matthew Mosshart.

-Stock up on Canadian Club! AMC just announced that Mad Men is coming back April 7.

-Much like the rest of the world, Lindsay Lohan‘s lawyer is done giving her another chance.

-Meanwhile, her film The Canyons was rejected by SXSW because of “quality issues“. The same thing happened at Sundance. Maybe the director should have taken Steven Soderbergh up on his offer to edit it.

-If Hell Baby is half as fun as this insane Sundance interview with the cast, I’m in!

-Speaking of Sundance, Shia LaBeouf says he dropped acid for his movie role and then sent tapes of himself tripping to costar Evan Rachel Wood. Lucky girl!

Jeremy Renner‘s baby mama is a Canadian model who’s now living with him and his roommate. This is a sitcom waiting to happen…

Fringe is over, so we’re going to have to get our Joshua Jackson fix somewhere else. Like maybe this Buzzfeed gallery titled “15 Vintage Joshua Jackson Moments That’ll Make You Squee!”

Selena Gomez looks pretty good without makeup — as dewy teenage girls are wont.

Shakira gave birth to a son yesterday, whom she named Milan.

-In a new clip from Billy on the Street, Rachel Dratch runs the Julia Roberts Obstacle Course!

-Fox just pulled Ben and Kate from the schedule, which means you’re probably never going to see it again. I’ve never watched it, but judging by my Twitter feed, this is the WORST. NEWS. EVER.

-She may have used a vocal track, but now there’s compelling video evidence that Beyonce was at least singing along at the inaugeration.

-The best Super Bowl commercial of 2013 has already been decided. It’s the only one that stars Amy Poehler, natch.

-Hey, girl. Ryan Gosling wants to knit you a scarf.

Bradley Cooper is campaigning hard to play Lance Armstrong in JJ Abrams‘ upcoming flick. I can see it.

-The trailer for Olympus Has Fallen just landed. I was excited because I thought this was the movie in which the White House is ambushed and Channing Tatum has to save it, but this is actually the movie in which the White House is ambushed and Gerard Butler has to save it. Sad face.

David Letterman hilariously hassled Justin Bieber last night for having too many tattoos (and then hassled him even more for calling the Sistine Chapel the “Sixteenth Chapel.”)

The Biebz had more fun with Jimmy Fallon when they battled to

see who’s more awesome. Side note: can “hand hugs” be a real thing?

-Tentative congrats to Shakira, who’s reportedly expecting her first kidlet.

-Talk about a marriage made in hipster heaven! Giovanni Ribisi wed model Agyness Deyn, even though they’d just started dating in the last hour or so.

-Odd: Patrick Wilson just signed on to play Lena Dunham‘s potential love interest in Girls. (This follows news that Donald Glover may also play her potential love interest, proving that this girl knows what she’s doing when she’s casting guys she’d like to make out with.)

-In other odd casting news, goth rocker Marilyn Manson will star in the new season of Californication.

-Scandal! A fellow dancer claims Casper Smart is gay and just using Jennifer Lopez for fame.

-The Chris Brown/Drake bar brawl dramaz just won’t let up. Now Tony Parker is suing the nightclub for the eye injury he suffered during the melee.

Joe Manganiello has shot down those rumours that he’s dating Demi Moore, giving false hope to women everywhere. (Not me, though. My hope is totally legit!)

-Surprise! James Marsden is becoming a daddy for the third time with Brazilian model Rose Costa, whom he dated briefly (possibly only for one night) after splitting from his wife. For most other actors, this would be a major bombshell, but I’m betting this will slide under the radar for the awesomly work-focused, paparazzi-avoiding Marsden.

-Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill and his Victoria’s Secret model wife Lily Aldridge welcomed a new daughter, whom they’ve adorably named Dixie Pearl.

-My favourite Hollywood odd couple, Aaron Johnson and Sam Tayl

or-Wood, just got hitched! In celebration, I’ll be watching the recently released Harold and Maude bluray.

-Everytime I read an interview or quote from Aaron Paul, I melt a little. If he keeps this up, I’m going to be nothing but vapor.

Blake Lively has just been named the boobs face of Gucci’s new perfume.

Vulture ranked all 38 of Aaron Sorkin’s television characters. I would have put Sports Night‘s Dana a bit higher, because she’s made of awesome sauce.

-A new Dexter promo has surfaced.
