Pink and Channing Tatum Explore Their “Beautiful Trauma”

Pink is really saving this week for us. First she scaled a building during the AMAs, and now she’s dropped a hilarious music video starring Channing Tatum.

-Congrats to Gwyneth Paltrow, who is engaged to Brad Falchuk after more than three years of dating. Cue a million “conscious coupling” headlines…

-Fork ya! The Good Place has been renewed for season 3. This season has been on fire.

Meghan Markle has moved out of her Toronto home and is rumoured to be relocating to London.

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend announced they are expecting their second child in a very cute way.

-A few weeks ago, Melissa Schuman from pop group Dream wrote that Nick Carter sexually assaulted her when she was 18 years old.

-This is very sweet: Spin posted Greta Gerwin’s letters to Justin Timberlake, Alanis Morissette, and Dave Matthews asking for music rights for Lady Bird.

-Also, I liked this article on Lady Bird. It’s definitely one of my fave movies of the year, and that piece does a good job of capturing why.

-And the walls keep tumbling down: Pixar/Disney exec John Lasseter announced he is taking a leave of absence just as The Hollywood Reporter was preparing a story detailing his alleged misconduct. Among the tidbits, Rashida Jones is credited as a writer on the next Toy Story, but she actually left the project early on after he made an unwanted advance.

-CBS has fired Charlie Rose. Here’s the memo that just went out to staffers.

-No. Mel Gibson DOES NOT get to make statements about holding men accountable. Just…no.

-36 women who worked with Al Franken on SNL have signed a letter of support. Jesus Christ. How hard is it to grasp that just because he acted one way with you doesn’t preclude him from acting differently with others?

-Congrats to True Blood star Rutina Wesley, who announced her engagement to her girlfriend on Instagram.

Kim Kardashian has fired her friend and longtime assistant Stephanie Shepherd. According to Us Weekly, their relationhip soured after Shepherd overshared in a Refinery 29 profile earlier this year.

Martin Freeman‘s Everett K. Ross has words of advice for Chadwick Boseman‘s T’Challa in the new Black Panther trailer.

Kim Kardashian Channels Jackie Kennedy Onassis

Kim Kardashian Interview First Lady

Kim Kardashian‘s Interview cover is so weird — and not just because she’s posing as a First Lady. Why does she look so dead-eyed? Why is her eyeline different than her kid’s? Why is her kid even there?

-Oof, Taylor Swift’“Look What You Made Me Do” video, which premiered last night at the VMAs, is so, so  bad. I didn’t mind most of it (yes, she’s borrowing from a lot of different people, including Beyonce, but at least it’s pretty). But then came the last 10 seconds. Are you kidding me? That’s not meta-commentary; that’s just commentary. That’s not subtext; it’s just text. There’s nothing sly or coy or clever about just parroting what people say about you. Why is she so scared to go full villain?

-Another low point of the VMAs was Lorde‘s performance. I love that little weirdo and I think her new album is one of the best of the year, but what was that? If she was too sick to sing than she shouldn’t have performed.

-At least Pink‘s performance and speech were great.

-I really like this thread about how Game of Thrones screwed up Dany/Jon. I can’t really get behind them because of all the icky ancestry stuff, but the fact that the build up was so mishandled that we didn’t even get first kiss scene is pretty telling.

Ed Skrein just dropped out of the Hellboy reboot following its whitewashing controversy, and his statement about it is amazing.  I hope he gets a ton of publicity (and subsequent job offers) for doing what major stars like Tilda Swinton, Scarlett Johansson, Jake Gylenhaal,Benedict Cumberbatch and Emma Stone would not.

Russell Brand (remember him?) got married again.

-OITNB’s Jenji Kohan talks about all the sexism she faced in TV writers rooms and it’s pretty horrific.

-Paramount Network (is that a thing?) just unveiled the first Heathers promo, proving that very few actors can pull off classic lines like “f*** me gently with a chainsaw.”

-SNL’s Taran Killam tries to murder Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Killing Gunther trailer.

Liam Neeson puts a ruthless spin on Deep Throat in the new Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House trailer.

Pink Kills it at the American Music Awards

-I only watched half of the AMAs (’cause I don’t have to cover this stuff anymore – woot!), but I’m glad I caught Pink’s performance of “Try” before flipping over to The Walking Dead. Wowza!

-Speaking of the AMAs, Nicki Minaj recycled Julie Bowen’s Emmy dress.

Justin Bieber had a big weekend blowout with Selena Gomez, but then they were spotted looking cuddly again at an AMA afterparty (much to Jenny McCarthy’s chagrin). Kids today!

-So BuzzFeed used my old Robert Pattinson interview in a video supercut proving how much he hates the Twilight franchise (at 0:20 and 1:23). Come on guys, the hate mail was just starting to fade…

-Buzzfeed is also tracking how Kristen Stewart’s enthusiasm has waned during this promo tour.

Bryan Cranston once watched a man die on the street, and it kind of messed him up.

-I keep forgetting that Garrett Hedlund and Kirsten Dunst are a thing, and yet here they are being all thing-like.

-It’s comforting to know that even famous people have unhealthy attachments to Friday Night Lights and/or Tim Riggins.

-I don’t watch Game of Thrones, but everyone’s got their loinclothes in a bunch over the new promo.

-I refuse to say anything bad about Sarah Michelle Gellar ever because of Buffy, so I’m presenting her new son’s name without comment: Rocky James Prinze.

-Stories about disgruntled journalists on Rihanna‘s press tour grew louder over the weekend,  until eventually someone ended up streaking.

Kid Cudi lost his custody fight.

This interview makes me love Jennifer Lawrence even more (and it also convinces me that the Oscars are a sham).

Scarlett Johansson is now dating some French dude.

-This weekend’s SNL was weaksauce, but I’m really wishing they would have kept in this cut bit about Guy Fieri responding to his NYT review.

This photo is ripe for Suri’s Burn Book. Are those pants Katie‘s wearing? A skirt? A dress? No wonder Suri is all like “bitch, please!”

-The poster for Ryan Gosling‘s new movie shows him with a brutally beat up face. Still hot.

-Speaking of still hot, here’s Charlize Theron with a shaved head.

Anne Hathaway has been married 0.03 seconds and already she has baby fever.

-Speaking of fetuses, Evan Rachel Wood insists she’s not baking one in her baby basket.

James Franco just became even more insufferable: he won second place at the Blogging Awards.

-Wait, Last Resort got canned? But how am I supposed to meet my weekly Scott Speedman quota now?!

-Speaking of TV shows, I hate-watched/recapped Gossip Girl with the MSN crew.

-The trailer for Now You See Me (starring Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Mark Ruffalo, Isla Fisher, Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson) is out. I’m intrigued.
