Megan Fox’s Brazilian Beer Commercial

-I can’t stop staring at Megan Fox‘s face in her new beer commercial. What has happened to it?!

Jeremy Renner looks like he’s about as excited to promote Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters as we are to see it.

-I fully expect Chris Brown to throw down over something as stupid as a parking spot, but Frank Ocean? That’s disappointing.

Helena Bonham Carter (aka – the best thing about Les Mis, which was full of good things) says she’s taking a break from acting to do the mom thing for a while.

Beyoncé is just messing with us at this point. Over the weekend, she Instagrammed a photo of herself wearing a shirt that says “Can I live?” (Everyone’s just mentally inserting the word ‘sing’ between ‘I’ and ‘live.’)

Michelle Williams says the Destiny’s Child reunion isn’t happening because she’s busy that day, which is all kinds of adorable!

Anna Paquin, Ellen Page and Shawn Ashmore  are all returning for the next X Men movie. Did anyone else forget that Juno is in that franchise?

-NBC continues to put a leash on Ann Curry. Guess this means we have to move ‘watch her scratch Matt Lauer’s eyes out on live TV’ down to the bottom of our bucket lists.

-So, despite its insane cast, Movie 43 is just as bad as the trailer suggests. Here’s a rundown of all the gross crap the A-listers do in the film from Vulture, who watched it so you don’t have to.

-There was an Alias reunion at last night’s SAGs!

Taye Diggs not only looked super hot at the SAG Awards, he also returned home just in time to thwart a robbery.

-On last night’s SAGs red carpet, Tina Fey confirmed rumours she’s working on a Mean Girls musical!

-Here’s the Super Sweet Sixteen commercial Jennifer Lawrence referenced in her SAG acceptance speech. That’s a convincing freakout. She should talk to Tina about being in the musical.

-Meanwhile, I still don’t really understand what happened to Jennifer’s dress last night, but this replay makes it seem like it didn’t really rip (despite reports).  I think we just got a peek at the sheer panelling.

Diablo Cody is talking about her upcoming Sweet Valley High adaptation, which sounds like it’s made of awesome.

-Guys, Justin Bieber needs a hug!

The Walrus did an excellent profile of Lainey that’s well worth a read. Oddly enough, it makes a great companion piece to Seth Green‘s recent appearance on WTF, in which he discusses the rise of celebrity coverage at length.

-Here’s a new clip from the Smash premiere. Does anyone still care about that show?

-Speaking of shows we care about, here’s a great recap of the best 30 Rock episodes in anticipation of this week’s series finale. I’d also add “Rosemary’s Baby,” if only for Jack and Tracy‘s insanely perfect therapy session.

-The title of George Clooney‘s new movie has changed from 1952 to Tomorrowland. Frankly, it could be called Watch George Clooney Beat Up Old Ladies and I’d still be first in line.

Rick Ross made it out unscathed after a gunman opened fire on his car when Ross was returning from his birthday party. (His Rolls Royce, as well as some local businesses, weren’t so lucky.)

-I really wish I hadn’t seen this boob-y cover of Miley Cyrus on Cosmo.

Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady‘s new home has a moat. Of course it does!

Juno Temple is dating Kristen Stewart‘s ex, Michael Anagrano. I saw them together in a TIFF movie called The Brass Teaport, and they were all sorts of cute.

-I can’t believe that the first line of E’s story about Daniel Radcliffe’s new girlfriend is “Harry Potter must really have a magic wand.” Just…no.

-In other “ah, hells no!” news, Kris Jenner just got her own talk show.

200 years ago today one of the greatest novels of the English language was published. I’m digging all the love Jane Austen is getting today — and all the love The Lizzie Bennet Diaries is getting as a result! They took the story off YouTube in a big way this weekend (which meant I spent a lot of time at a fancy restaurant Saturday night trying to sneak furtive glances at new Twitter photos of Darcy). And their latest video is perfection. It gave me all the feels.

SAG Awards Red Carpet Recap – Best and Worst Dressed

SAG-Awards-Hathaway-Jackman

The SAG Awards happened Sunday night (not that you could tell if you were Canadian; Global was suppose to air it, but ended up showing a Debbie Travis special instead for most of the first hour). We did, however, get to see all of the red carpet entrances, courtesy of E’s hilariously awkward coverage (which featured Ross Mathews quizzing Mark Salling about his sexual assault charges).

In terms of fashion, the biggest trend of the night was dark gowns, some stunning (go, Amanda Seyfried!), while others not so much (I’m looking at you, Anne.) Here are my picks for the five best and worst looks of the 2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards.

BEST:

nina-dobrev-SAG-awards Nina Dobrev was flawless in an Elie Saab gown, showing Lea Michele how hot pink should be done.
<—–

amanda-seyfried-SAG-awards It was a simple dark gown, but the hem detail and exquisite fit made Amanda Seyfrieds Zac Posen my favourite one of the night (even beating Jennifer Lawrence‘s Dior Haute Couture, which was admittedly a million times better than JLaw’s Globes gown). Amanda topped it off perfectly with an art deco medallion. —–>

 

marion-cotillard-SAG-awardsThere are very few people who can pull off a giant bow on their waist, but Marion Cotillard did just that in her white and green Dior gown. The fact that she did it while battling the flu makes it even more impressive!
<—-

 

jennifer-garner-SAG-awardsThis might be the first time Jennifer Garner has ever made it on my best dressed list, but she killed it in gold Oscar de la Renta. Not loving the hair, but baby steps! —->

 

tina-fey-SAG-awards

Tina Fey also opted for Oscar de la Renta, channelling old Hollywood in a strapless black gown.
<—-

 

(Also, honourable mentions have to go to Helen Hunt in a silver/gold Romena Cervesa, Julianne Moore in Chanel Couture, and Nicole Kidman in Vivienne Westwood.)

 

 

WORST:

anne-hathaway-SAG-awardsAnne Hathaway did nothing to shoot down those pregnancy rumours by avoiding the E! cameras – or by wearing this Giambattista Valli dress.
<—-

 

jessica-chastain-SAG-awardsI think Jessica Chastain is ravishing in red Alexander McQueen (it’s a huge improvement from that light blue Globes dress, no?) , but does anyone else think it wouldn’t have hurt her to go up one size? There’s a bunching issue here. —->

 

Claire-Danes-SAG-Awards

There has never, ever been a one-sleeved dress that I’ve liked, and Claire Danes black, one-shouldered Givenchy is no exception. And that throwback ’90s lipstick? Ugh.
<—-

 

Sofia-Vergara-SAG-AwardsModern Family’s Sofia Vergara strikes out in white Donna Karan Atelier, but I guess we should just be grateful that it’s not all about her boobs this time around. —->

 

Jane-Krakowski-SAG-Awards30 Rock’s Jane Krakowski called the colour of her Kaufman Franco gown “orangey-sherbet,” which is also how I’d describe her fake tan.
<—-

 

 

(Dishonourable mentions go to Ariel Winter and Rose Byrne.)

Is Mila Kunis Going to Play Anastasia Steele?

Mila Kunis covers the November 2012 issue of Esquire.

-Uh oh. Mila Kunis has expressed interest in 50 Shades of Grey. Does this mean we can’t like her any more?

-In better book-to-movie casting news, Kate Winslet is reportedly up for a role in the film adaptation of the awesome YV novel Divergent.

– American Idol has more problems than Nicki sniping at Mariah. Nine former contestant are suing the show, claiming they were disqualified because of their race.

-I tend to watch The Office more out of a sense of obligation these days than actual admiration for the show, but the last 30 seconds of last night’s episode was a total heart-punch. Jim and Pam fighting and her being consoled by the previously unseen documentary crew made my stomach hurt. Watch the clip here.

-Well, this article about how Jenna Fischer and John Krasinski were rooting for each other during casting cheers me up a little.

-Everyone’s scrutinizing Taylor Swift’s breasts again…

Matt Damon took over Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, and he rocked it. Renaming it Jimmy Kimmel Sucks, he welcomed Ben Affleck, Nicole Kidman, Gary Oldman, Robin Williams, Amy Adams, Reese Witherspoon, Sarah Silverman, Andy Garcia and Demi Moore (whose face looked JACKED).

-In a new interview with Oprah, LL Cool J says he was brutally beaten by a man who lived with his mother.

Breaking Bad might get a companion after-show a la Talking Dead for its final season.

-These W videos of stars revealing their celebrity crushes are great. If you don’t have a lot of time, the best ones are Elle Fanning gushing about Ryan Gosling, Rebel Wilson crushing on Channing Tatum, and a scary skinny Matthew McConaughey waxing poetic about Susan Sarandon‘s unusually large pores. Oh, and if you want to see Kristen Stewart at her sickest looking, watch that one too. (It’s part of W‘s no-makeup issue.)

-Next week is the 30 Rock series finale. Sad, but this video of Tina Fey giving a tour of Liz Lemon‘s office is happy-making.

-Also, check out this supercut of  30 Rock’s tragically brilliant Dot Com.

Seann William Scott just broke off his engagement with his girlfriend.

-Speaking of nuptials, the dress Jennifer Lopez wore to the Parker premiere is actually a wedding dress. Blerg.

Gwyneth Paltrow‘s rep is denying rumours she’ll be slumming it on Downton Abbey.

-It’s been a good week to be a Jane Austen fan. Austenland, starring Keri Russell, is getting great reviews and just got bought by Sony at Sundance, while the late Nora Ephron wrote an adaptation of the awesome British mini-series Lost in Austen, which Sam Mendes is producing. I’m going to watch the crap out of all of it.

-Speaking of Sundance, Michael B Jordan had a very good festival. Vince FTW!

-The Upside Down trailer, starring Kirsten Dunst and Jim Sturgess, is trippy as hell. In a good way.
