-Amanda Bynes was hospitalized last night on an involuntary psychiatric hold after she set a fire in a stranger’s driveway. (I’ve read conflicting reports that she was either trying to build a campfire or trying set herself on fire, but either way she’s hopefully getting the help she needs.)

-I will never, ever get tired of watching Jennifer Lawrence freak out over meeting celebrities. Here she is fangirling over Jeff Bridges.

–Beyonce got her extensions caught in a fan while performing in Montreal and didn’t skip a note because Sasha Fierce is unstoppable! At least she could joke about it afterwards.

-Surprisingly, a baby was born yesterday that may actually be blessed with even better DNA than Kate and William’s. Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem welcomed a baby girl in Madrid.

-Out of all of the celebrity reactions to the royal baby, Kermit and Miss Piggy’s is the best.

–Game of Thrones stars Joe Dempsie and Maisie Williams (Gendry and Arya) are all kinds of cute in this video about their reactions to the Red Wedding. It’s weird to be ‘shipping them, right?

-Yet another reason why I haven’t yet checked out Toronto’s buzzy new pool patio: Justin Bieber hangs out there.

–Breaking Bad‘s Bryan Cranston and Game of Thrones‘ Peter Dinklage will lend their voices to Family Guy next season.

–Dina and Michael Lohan are really hoping Oprah can take over the whole parental guidance thing.

-Here’s a clip of Helena Bonham Carter totally killing it as Liz Taylor. With McNulty!

-Here’s our first look at the girl who’ll be playing young Samantha on The Carrie Diaries.

–Colin Farrell went on a shirtless hike, which is the best kind.

–Chris Brown has pleaded not guilty to that hit-and-run charge, but must still surrender for booking.

-I actually wasn’t in love with Michael B. Jordan’s response about being Andrew Garfield‘s love interest in the next Spider-Man movie, but I’m glad Garfield took it a different way.

-Lots of casting news about The Fault in Our Stars landed today. Laura Dern will play Hazel’s mom while this dude will play Isaac. *pleasedontscrewitup*

–The Mindy Project was on a roll with guest star announcements…and then came the Kris Humphries news.

-35-year-old actress Bianca Lawson has been playing a 17-year-old girl for over 17 years on TV. She’ll always be Kendra to me.  “Dis is muh lucky staaake!”

-Today we got first announcement from TIFF about the films coming to the festival this year, and it’ll be nothing if not star-packed.

-With the exception of that sideways shot released a while ago, we haven’t gotten a good eyeful of the guy who’s playing Finnick in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. But now Lionsgate has released a better photo of him…and it’s not bad. He’s no Jesse Williams, but he’ll do.

–Jennifer Lawrence spent a portion of Comic Con’s Catching Fire panel talking about snot messing up her kissing scenes with Josh Hutcherson, so that’s pretty boss.

-In other Comic Con news, the always awesome Bryan Cranston wore a Walter White mask and wandered around chatting with fans, who had no idea he was the real deal.

–This is the best photo that’s ever come out of Comic Con. Anyone else kind of feel like this sums up Tom Cruise‘s entire life these days?

-Also at Comic Con, Zoe Saldana tried to make a denim jumpsuit work, failed miserably.

-Meanwhile, Glee creator Ryan Murphy gave a few interviews over the weekend on the fate of Monteith’s character Finn, saying “The right thing to do…is to have that character pass.”

-This might be the thinnest I’ve ever seen Colin Firth. I don’t like it.

–O.J. Simpson wants to team up with Charlie Sheen? No no no no no no no no no no!

–Florence Welch showed up at a random cover band’s party, got drunk, and sang “Get Lucky.” Turns out she doesn’t know all the words either.

–Miley Cyrus thinks it’s adorabs that people refuse to believe she’s singing about ecstasy in “We Can’t Stop.”

–Lindsay Lohan‘s mother has been banned from participating in her rehab treatment after a drunken phone call a few weeks ago. Sounds about right.

-Friends are reportedly worried that Emma Roberts is following in Lindsay’s footsteps.

-Hugs from Beyonce should carry medical warnings. One fan fainted following her warm mid-concert embrace.

-In case you missed it, Full House‘s Jesse and the Rippers reunited on Fallon Friday night. Lori Loughlin showed up at the end for a smooch, because those two just can’t stop trolling us.

-A new trailer for The Walking Dead‘s season four has landed. Wait, is that D’Angelo from The Wire?! Just when I think I’m out, they pull me back in…

-Hmmmm….so now Eva Longoria has taken to Twitter to deny Us Weekly‘s report about her and George Clooney, which is strange because the whole article reads like it was written by her publicist. Is she in damage control mode?

-Meanwhile, George Clooney was photographed hanging with friends today in Italy. And this is why they don’t make sense as a couple: one knows how to play the game flawlessly, the other just publicly face planted.

-I’ve been listening to Girl Talk’s mashup of Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” with Michael Jackson‘s “Remember the Time” on repeat today.

-Another day, another disturbing photo of Daniel Radcliffe. Anyone else starting to worry?

–David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson reunited at Comic-Con yesterday for the 20th anniversary of The X-Files. I haven’t watched an episode in years, and yet the moment when he put his arm around her in this clip from yesterday’s panel sent me straight back to ‘shipperville.

–These photos of Channing Tatum modeling ridiculous outfits for Diddy‘s fashion line in 2003 made my week.

-I’m agreeing with a lot of The A.V. Club’s picks for the best TV moments of the year (so far).

–Pink responded to the Kanye West diss like the classy lady that she is.

-The gag reel for Hannibal will give you warm ‘n tingly feelings about Hugh Dancy.

–Pharrell insists the “Blurred Lines” music video wasn’t meant to objectify women. Mmm-hmmm.

-Meanwhile, Vampire Weekend just covered “Blurred Lines” and it’s kind of awesome.

–Rihanna once again showed up late to one of her concerts, but the audience in Manchester was having none of it and let her know by throwing chips at her.

-Meanwhile, RiRi is stripping down to her underwear for her new frangrance ad.

-The reviews for Ryan Gosling‘s new movie Only God Forgives are in — and they’re pretty bleak. As per Vulture‘s David Edelstein: “I thought it was just about the worst f—ing thing I’ve ever seen.”

–JK Rowling says she’s “very angry” about her pseudonym being leaked.

–Lori Loughlin posted a photo with John Stamos last night with the caption “My very sexy date took me to see Pippin! Thank you John Stamos XO,” but then the interwebs started freaking out over the thought of Uncle Jesse and Aunt Becky dating IRL, so the (married) actress quickly changed the caption to “Fun night at The Music Box theater with my dear friend @johnstamos #pippin”

-Director Michael Moore has filed for divorce from his wife of 21 years.

-The first full trailer for Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom has landed. I don’t know how much more Idris Elba love I can take on, especially since the season premiere of Luther aired on BBC Canada last night. If I see him this year at TIFF, I may actually spontaneously combust.
