Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale’s Sexy Salute

Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale honoured the troops on Memorial Day by posting a stomach-sucking bikini shot on Instagram. “Flanders Fields,” it ain’t.

-Whoa. WHOA. People.com posted a story yesterday about Robert Pattinson and Katy Perry hanging out together, and then quickly took the story down. Everybody, please set your eyebrows to “raised.” [Update: the story is back up on the site, with a follow-up. But now Us Weekly is reporting that Katy has reunited with John Mayer. The plot thickens.]

-Before that, everyone was making a big deal out of this Instagram photo of Robert with a blonde. (There’s also a bunch of other people, but none of them are hot blondes so apparently they don’t count.)

-Meanwhile, Rob has moved back into his house — which is just a few streets away from Kristen Stewart‘s. #awkward

Amanda Bynes claims her Twitter was hacked and that she didn’t actually say those things about Rihanna. She also says she doesn’t do drugs and is a “model citizen.” Mmm-hmmm.

-Meanwhile, the NYPD is calling bullshit on her claims that she was groped by the police.

-Also, when your behaviour is even scaring Courtney Love, you have a problem.

-This spoilery article about Before Midnight makes me simultaneously excited to see it and also kind of sad.

Andrew Garfield is really owning the whole ‘cuteness overload‘ thing this week.

-The awesome Joss Whedon delivered an awesome commencement speech: “Don’t just live. Be that other thing connected to death. Be life.” (Here’s some shaky video.)

-It’s kind of adorable that Drake’s dad accidentally leaked the alleged tracklist for his new album.

Will and Jaden Smith gave an interview to Vulture, and it’s partly adorable (I love the end when Jaden is complaining about how his dad is always trying to impart life lessons and he just wants to go to the movies), but it’s also partly weird. Gawker picked apart some of the stranger comments, especially the whole “student of patterns” bit. (Which should come as no surprise to anyone who remembers Will’s slightly creepy Time interview, in which he explained how he became a movie star:  “We looked at (the top box office list) and said, O.K., what are the patterns? We realized that 10 out of 10 had special effects. 9 out of 10 had special effects with creatures. 8 out of 10 had special effects with creatures and a love story.”

Daniel Radcliffe says he’d be up for returning to the Harry Potter franchise one day if there’s ever a sequel. Wow, did Woman In Black really do that badly at the box office?

-The new Bridget Jones movie will be called Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. Is the boy in question a son? And am I a terrible person for hoping that it’s not?

Justin Bieber is still showing off his abs…on purpose.

-Meanwhile, NFL Keyshawn Johnson called the police on Justin for reckless driving in his neighbourhood and then chased him – causing Justin to run away “like a scared little child.”

-Also, Justin has returned to Twitter after “taking time” for himself. Yay?

-Even Seth Rogen is making fun of Rob Ford at this point.

Hugh Jackman pitched a tent.

Leonardo DiCaprio has reportedly moved on to yet another Victoria’s Secret model. He’s soon going to run out of those.

-Ok, Matthew Rhys may have just made me warm up to the idea of him playing Darcy by saying, “I don’t have to appear from a lake in a white shirt and breeches.”

-More photos of director Ryan Gosling being director-y have landed.

-The contract negotiations are still in full swing, but Mark Ruffalo says he really wants to be part of The Avengers 2.

Zoe Saldana was spotted making out with Pirate Perego again.

-Just in case you weren’t already aware, Beyonce would prefer it if you did NOT spank her booty during concerts.

-Meanwhile, the Destiny’s Child reunion is still happening. There’s even a new single, “You’ve Changed.”

-Speaking of the DC crew, Kelly Rowland broke down on stage in the middle of a concert.

-Clearly, Kanye West didn’t remember the Alamo.

-It looks like Aaron Paul sold his wedding photos to People, which makes me a little sad. (Not so sad that I wouldn’t want to lick his face, but still…)

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were spotted at an airport in Berlin. I would have never pegged her as a ‘flip-flops on the plane’ kinda girl.

-I dig how the guy who plays Jack on Revenge pretty much admits that the show sucked this season in a new interview.

-The prime minister of Australia is a big Game of Thrones fan, specifically House Targaryen because, you know, dragons and shit.

-Everyone’s wondering why Demi Moore missed her daughter’s college graduation.

-Bet you didn’t see this one coming: James Lipton says he was once a pimp in Paris.

-Did the producers of Smash have something against Anjelica Huston?

-The more clips I see from Monsters University, the more I’m totally charmed by it.

-I’m not sure about any of these actresses that are gunning to play Hilary Clinton. Jessica Chastain, maybe?

-Leave it to Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman to give an interview that is both incredibly sweet and incredibly filthy. He almost makes felching sound romantic.

-Meanwhile, you should watch Nick demonstrate how to make a “Ron Swanson Turkey Burger” (a deep-fried turkey leg inside a beef burger) because…meat!

-Does anyone else find the idea of Heidi Klum giving parenting advice odd, given some past rumours?

-The girl who plays Shoshanna on Girls is trying to Kickstart a folk album and is failing miserably.

-Is Kim Kardashian trying to strike a deal with Weight Watchers to lose her baby weight? That might explain why she keeps allowing herself to be photographed like this.

-A new trailer for Rapture-Palooza has landed, starring Anna Kendrick.

 

Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul Weds

Aaron Paul tied the knot this weekend. (Sigh. I knew he’d get impatient while waiting to meet me…) I love that his Breaking Bad costar Byran Cranston was in the wedding party, but now his Instagram account is going to get even more mushy. He just posted a photo of his new wife with the caption “A day will never go by without me reminding you how special you are.” You’re killing me, Jesse!!

-It was a big weekend for celebrity weddings. Arrow star Stephen Amell (re)married Cassandra Jean on Sunday in New Orleans.

Amanda Bynes continues to make words. Lots and lots of words. First she slammed Rihanna for no reason, then she announced she wants to be a rapper, and now she says she’s suing the NYPD and her apartment building.

-Sadness: Angelina Jolie’s aunt passed away from breast cancer early Sunday morning.

Taylor Swift and Lena Dunham continue their BFFing, spending Memorial Day weekend together. Is anyone else having a hard time imagining them hanging out? I mean, what does that conversation even look like? (Lena: “I want to challenge society’s patriarchal attitudes by upending expectations with unconventional exhibitionism.” Taylor: “I want to ride unicorns!”)

-Aw man, Jennifer Lawrence‘s stalker is Canadian?

Prince covered Pearl Jam‘s “Easy Flow” and it’s surprisingly awesome.

Chris Brown could end up in prison for violating his probation over that alleged hit-and-run. He doesn’t seem too concerned, though. He was spotted partying in Vegas with on-again/off-again GF Karrueche Tran.

Anna Kendrick worries that Blake Lively is a freak of nature. It’s a valid concern.

-Of course Miley Cyrus‘ phone case has a giant marijuana leaf on it.

Mayim Bialik‘s divorce is now official.

Kristen Stewart actually looks kind of happy. Who approved this?!

-Whaaaa?? Dan Harmon says he’s been asked to return to Community, confirming that NBC has no idea what the hell they’re doing.

Mariah Carey wants you to name her puppies. Nope, that’s not a euphemism.

-It looks like Chris Pine may have already moved on after splitting from his fiancee.

-They’re making a movie out of Death Comes to Pemberley (yes!) and Matthew Rhys may play Mr. Darcy.

George Clooney spent another weekend without Stacy Keibler, who was busy flashing her underwear in Monaco.

Chace Crawford and Rachelle Goulding are reportedly still going strong. I know. I can’t believe it either.

-While he debates his future with SNLJason Sudeikis enjoys some beach time with Olivia Wilde in Hawaii.

-I only made it to episode 3 of Arrested Development before I became overwhelmed and realized binge-watching wasn’t the way to go. I liked what I saw,  except I wasn’t feeling Portia de Rossi‘s face (though it looked like she wasn’t either).

Kit Harrington‘s quest to meet everyone in Toronto except me continues — and now even Rachel McAdams is getting in on the action!

-Speaking of Kit, Game of Thrones wasn’t on last night, but we did get Jimmy Fallon‘s amazing GoT parody.

Will Smith reunited with DJ Jazzy Jeff and  Alfonso “Carlton” Ribeiro to recreate the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song — and it was awesome!

Amanda Bynes Gets Two Mugshots, Both Terrible

-According to publicist Jonathan Jaxson, Amanda Bynes was arrested after he got the police to go to her home by offering “proof” that she was suicidal. He calls the arrest “a successful intervention.” (But aren’t interventions supposed to included loved ones and banners?)

-Oh, and she showed up in court today looking like this. She told the judge that the bong-like object she threw out her window when the cops arrived was “just a vase.” Meanwhile, her parents are reportedly seeking conservatorship.

Breaking Bad‘s Aaron Paul is rumoured to be getting married this weekend. Sigh.

-Weird feud of the day: Danielle Fishel vs. Bob Saget.

-Just in case this GIF didn’t already convince you, Taylor Swift wants the world to know that she doesn’t approve of BFF Selena Gomez’s relationship with Justin Bieber.

-Meanwhile, Selena was spotted at dinner with Justin’s BFF Jaden Smith.

-At least Julianne Moore has a sense of humour about “toemageddon.”

-I’m thrilled that Before Midnight is getting rave reviews (96% on Rotten Tomatoes!). I’m less thrilled that it’s not coming to Canada for a few more weeks. I actually stomped my foot when I found that out. Like, a full-on stomp.

-You know, it would take a lot to get me to watch American Idol, but having past winners as judges could nudge me in that direction. Jennifer Hudson has already signed on, and Kelly Clarkson is expected to soon follow suit.

Morgan Freeman‘s explanation for why he fell asleep in an interview is adorabs! “I’m a beta tester for Google Eyelids. I was merely updating my Facebook page.”

Katie Holmes and costar Luke Kirby were “almost holding hands” offset. What does that even mean?!

Brad Pitt said some nice things about Gwyneth Paltrow‘s late father.

-Meanwhile, he convinced Muse to perform at World War Z‘s premiere.

Aaron Carter is offering #tipsforgirls on his Twitter. For reals.

-I don’t watch it, but good on Toronto-shot Rookie Blue for returning to good ratings last night on ABC. And it killed it in Canada.

Jason Sudeikis says he’s on the fence about returning to SNL next year. Perhaps he’s been reading the reactions to his We’re The Millers trailer?

-I only got to watch the first four minutes of Mariah Carey‘s GMA performance this morning before I had to leave for work, but I thought nothing could top her having to be practically carried up the stairs and complaining about how she didn’t have time to put on her microphone. I was wrong.

Lindsay Lohan‘s “dealer” claims she spent $15,000 on cocaine and pills. It probably says something terrible about me that I read that and thought “that’s it?”

-That kid who asked Kate Upton to the prom but got turned down ended up getting the last laugh: supermodel Nina Agdal took him instead.

-There’s a Girls porn parody, and Lena Dunham is not thrilled about it.

-The last of Robert Pattinson’s moving trucks were spotted leaving Kristen Stewart‘s house. Meanwhile, she back to flipping the bird at the paps.

-On the other end of the spectrum, have you ever seen Reese Witherspoon smile so hard for the paps? Ever?

-A film that features a 10-minute lesbian sex scene might actually walk away with the top prize at this year’s Cannes.

-I love the fact that the Toronto Police had to put out a release warning people not to drive like idiots after watching Fast & Furious 6 this weekend.

Elisabeth Moss was on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live last night, and she was amazing. She dissed Jeremy Piven and talked about Jon Hamm’s junk.

Jon Stewart decided to spend his summer vacation with Gael Garcia Bernal. Can I come?

Hanson made a beer called MMMhops. Puns!

-A bunch of TV critics weigh in on whether or not we should binge-watch Arrested Development this weekend. Meanwhile, here are four brand new clips.

Lea Michele is writing a book (groan!) and it’s titled Brunette Ambition (double groan!).

Jennifer Lawrence had some issues with Bradley Cooper’s kissing technique while filming Silver Linings Playbook. I wonder if he needs a second opinion, ’cause I can make myself available.

-Wait, did we know that Melanie Laurent is pregnant?! Also, why isn’t she a ginormous star in the US yet? Universe, make that happen!

-The first trailer for Vince Vaughn‘s Delivery Man (which is a US adaptation of the French-Canadian Starbuck) has landed.
