–Rihanna has grey hair now, y’all.

-Gawker has obtained a tape of Kanye West justifying his interruption of Taylor Swift‘s acceptance speech (“Because I wrote my verse in two days, Taylor Swift cannot beat Beyoncé”), ranting about Pink at the 2009 MTV VMAs (“how the f**k did Pink perform twice, and I didn’t  even get asked to perform “Heartless”?), and making fun of Eminem.

-Meanwhile, Taylor Swift proved she still has a sense of humour about the whole thing on Twitter today.

-Hey, remember that blind item from yesterday? On a completely unrelated note, Us Weekly has a story about George Clooney chasing after Eva Longoria.

-The editor of Paper called working with Nicki Minaj “hideous torture.” He also said shooting covers with Marisa Tomei and Ben Stiller were “not fun.”  Surprisingly, he called Mariah Carey, Lindsay Lohan and Prince “super-easy and fabulous.”

-Awww! Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult have reportedly rekindled their romance.

–Nick Hornby set to direct Reese Witherspoon in movie version of Cheryl Strayed‘s New York Times bestseller Wild. Great book, but I don’t know how they’re going to turn it into a film.

–Ryan Gosling is pretty adorable in this clip from the set of Only God Forgives.

-AMC released a bunch of new photos from the season premiere of Breaking Bad. 24 days!

–Snoop Dogg tried to teach Larry King how to rap and it went about as well as you’d expect.

-The new promo for Luther previews the return of my favourite character on TV right now. Woot!

-It’s been a big week for Veep‘s Anna Chlumsky: she had a baby and got an Emmy nomination.

-Guys, take note: Jay-Z would now like us to spell his name as Jay Z.

-Meanwhile, critics are raving about Jay Z and Justin Timberlake tour’s opening night in Toronto, where they dedicated “Forever Young” to Trayvon Martin.

–Max Greenfield shot a video about returning to the Veronica Mars set.

–Jane Lynch paid tribute to Cory Monteith on last night’s Tonight Show, saying “I don’t think he left one day unlived.”

-Gawker has announced which charities it will be giving the Crackstarter funds to.

–Community creator Dan Harmon is still a bit of a dick.

-Sweet! Happy Endings star Adam Pally is joining The Mindy Project.

-The lovely folks at MSN invited me to chat about this morning’s Emmy nominations on their podcast. Listen below:

Emma Roberts Looks Bruised Following Arrest

-TMZ has photos of a bruised-looking Emma Roberts taken after her bizarre arrest for domestic violence. She was also photographed crying with her boyfriend after the news broke.

-In the new issue of Allure, Kate Moss shoots down rumors of past anorexia and heroin use.

–Beyonce and Jay-Z delighted onlookers in Toronto’s Yorkville neighbourhood when they were spotted lunching  (with Blue Ivy!) at Cafe Nervosa before the tonight’s Legends of The Summer show.

–Growing Pains dad Alan Thicke co-wrote a song on his son Robin Thicke’s new album. Let’s hope it’s a little less confusing than “Blurred Lines.”

-This blind item has everyone buzzing (or at least my Twitter peeps). Any else feeling desperate for a cup of Nespresso after reading it?

–Stacy Keibler insists her breakup from George Clooney had nothing to do with her wanting to get married.

–Ryan Gosling says the worst thing you can call someone is “dumb hipster.” Sounds like he needs some insult training from that c*nt-punching sorority girl.

-According to TMZ, Cory Monteith‘s body was cremated yesterday in Vancouver following a private viewing with his family and girlfriend Lea Michele, and Cory’s father (who lives in New Brunswick) is devastated he didn’t get a chance to say goodbye.

-Remember that report last week about a woman who was threatening a British rock star to pay up or else she’d go public with news of their secret love child? I’m guessing this story about Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher being sued by a woman claiming to be his baby mama is connected.

–Jon Hamm was on Craig Ferguson‘s show last night, being a total charm-bomb.

–Forbes released its annual list of Hollywood’s highest paid actors. I get how Robert Downey Jr. topped the list, and I’m pleasantly surprised that Channing Tatum came in second, but Mark Wahlberg is fourth? Really?

–Brad Pitt‘s transformation into a Disney princess is nearly complete.

–EW put out a bunch of different covers for their Walking Dead issue. Norman Reedus‘ better be the one that lands in my mailbox! Also, the cover shoot video in which he talks about a burgeoning Glenn/Daryl romance amused me.

–Justin Bieber got a tattoo of his mom’s eye on his arm, which is not creepy at all.

–Snooki is so skinny now that she’s got that alien head thing going on.

-Awkwardness alert! Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were nominated for Best Kiss at the Teen Choice Awards.

–Mary-Louise Parker may quit acting because the internet is too mean.

-If you’re not caught up on Breaking Bad yet (seriously, what’s wrong with you?), this 9-minute recap of everything that’s happened so far is great.

–Jennifer Aniston keeps wearing baby doll dresses, which people think means she’s pregnant. I think it means that she’s discovered that baby doll dresses are the most comfortable way to deal with a heat wave without getting arrested.

-Here’s the first trailer for The Fifth Estate. Benedict Cumberbatch gives good Assange!

Glee’s Cory Monteith Died of Heroin, Alcohol: Coroner

-In not unexpected but still heartbreaking news, the coroner’s report was just released in Cory Monteith‘s death. He died from a toxic mixture of heroin and alcohol.

-More crappy news for the franchise: The Glee Project has been officially cancelled by Oxygen.

-Now that Jenny McCarthy just landed a permanent seat at The View table, it’s a good time to remind ourselves that she’s batshit crazy.

–Bryan Cranston got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today. This photo of him with Aaron Paul kills me.

–Leah Remini’s sister went on a radio show to spill secrets about the actress’ split from the “church” of Scientology.

-Even Beyonce can’t resist Target’s bargains.

-My neighbourhood is currently being overrun by Justin Timberlake fans hoping to spot a glimpse of him. It’s a whole lot of not fun.

–Lindsay Lohan will reportedly snag $2 million from her reality show on Oprah’s network — and her mother is already trying to muscle in on the action.

-The randomness of James Franco’s choices continues. He just signed on to guest on next season’s The Mindy Project.

-This Jason Patric sperm case is the weirdest thing ever. When the Lost Boys actor broke up with his longterm girlfriend, he offered her his man juice instead of money. Now he’s fighting for parental rights.

-Breaking news: Rihanna now has a grill.

–Justin Bieber was photographed drinking a beer at a 4th of July party, which would seem a whole lot more badass if it weren’t for the Super Mario beach towels in the picture.

–The Amazing Race Canada premiere was the highest rated debut of a Canadian series ever.  I’ll be recapping the show every week for MSN. Check it out here.

–Jennifer Garner is shilling for Max Mara now. If she doesn’t stop posing with bags in front of her stomach, these rumours are just going to get worse.

–Shailene Woodley and Zoe Kravitz jump into action in this new Divergent photo.

-In other YA movie news, here’s our first look at Enobaria in Catching Fire.

–George Clooney looked to be in a good mood while promoting Nespresso in Paris. This is why I love France — there are Nespresso posters of him everywhere. I remember going to a cafe and ordering coffee by pointing at his photo. I’m pretty sure that’s what heaven looks like.

–Bruce Willis tried to spoof Under The Dome on Letterman last night; failed miserably.

–Modern Family‘s Sofia Vergara is still dating that guy no one likes.

-The trailer has landed for 12 Years A Slave from director Steve McQueen (Shame, Hunger).
