This photo of Mark Ruffalo is unflattering enough; having Channing Tatum in the frame is just mean.

-Well this sucks. Jon Stewart says the most unpleasant Daily Show guest ever was Hugh Grant.

-The first Golden Globe promo with Amy Poehler and Tina Fey has landed, and it bodes very well. It almost makes up for this morning’s crazy nominations (no to Mad Men and Aaron Paul, but yes to The Newsroom and Smash?!)

-I’m not sure why Ellen made Amanda Seyfried sing “California Love” while wearing a frog head, but I approve.

Mark Wahlberg is going to make a movie about hackers that’s based on a GQ article. There are too many things wrong with that sentence to count.

Zoe Kravitz just revealed that boyfriend Penn Badgley has no plans to celebrate Gossip Girl‘s finale on Monday. He’s always welcome at our GG mercy killing bash!

-I don’t know which Katy Perry decision is worse: that she chose to walk a red carpet with John Mayer or that she did it in this coat.

-You gotta love Anne Hathaway‘s incredibly articulate, kick-ass response to Matt Lauer‘s gross question about her crotch shot (which, after seeing the uncensored photo, actually looked more like a thigh shot).

-I know nothing about Austenland except that it stars Keri Russell and it’s about a Jane Austen theme park (which frankly, is more than enough to sell me on it), but this photo has me excited!

Anne Hathaway pulled a Britney at last night’s Les Mis premiere by flashing her underwearless crotch while getting out of her car. Did she retain nothing from her princess training?!

Hayden Panettiere is having a tough year. Nashville is kind of flopping and now she and her boyfriend have split.

Amanda Seyfried talks about Channing Tatum’s loyalty to his wife, just in case you somehow weren’t already convinced of his perfection.

-Another trailer for Oz: The Great and Powerful has landed.
