-Sad: Rizzoli & Isles star Lee Thompson Young has committed suicide at the age of 29. Stars are already taking to Twitter to react.

-The guy who played Greg on Dharma & Greg just got catfished! Married actor Thomas Gibson was reportedly tricked into sending sexy videos to a woman who sent him photos she stole from a porn site. (Seriously? Who doesn’t know how to do a reverse Google image search at this point?!)

-Following Lady Gaga and Perez Hilton‘s Twitter spat this weekend (in which the singer accused the gossip blogger of stalking her), Perez has responded with a rebuttal and an implication that their falling out is her fault.

-Did Rihanna and A$AP Rocky get closer than necessary on the set of their new video? I fully support this!

-We may be seeing a lot more of Demi Lovato soon. Not only are nekkid photos reportedly floating around the web, she’s also poised to join Glee for a major arc next season.

–Amber Rose tested out her wedding dress by twerking in it. So…yeah. That happened.

-In other embarrassing moments caught on video, Olivia Munn dislocated her shoulder after falling off an indoor swing.

-JJ Abrams is promoting some creepy new project, but we don’t exactly know what. Here are five theories.

–Shailene Woodley cut off all her hair for The Fault In Our Stars. She documented the process on Twitter and donated her locks to charity.

–Oprah‘s interview with Lindsay Lohan aired last night, and she tried to convince us that she’s only tried coke 10-15 times, and the only thing she’s ever injected is B-12 shots. Mmm-hmmm.

–Kim Kardashian and Kanye West had a “normal family dinner” — and then posted video of it for the world to see, which is totes norm.

-Meanwhile, Kim was photographed holding two-month-old baby North West for the first time this weekend but the baby’s head was covered with a blanket, which means there’s probably a magazine cover in that kid’s immediate future.

–Lady Gaga debuted her new “Applause” video on GMA this morning, where she appeared surprisingly nervous.

-A teaser trailer for Girls’ new season has landed.

–Hahahahahaha!

-I stopped watching True Blood a while ago because, well, it’s horrible. But apparently I missed out on Alexander Skarsgard‘s full frontal display in last night’s season finale.

–Here’s a clip of Robin Wright getting flirty with her BFF’s son in Adore. I interviewed the guy in this clip once (Xavier Samuel). All I remember was that he has crazy small hands.

–Mark Ruffalo delivered an awesome pro-choice speech in Mississippi.

-Police in Connecticut  received numerous 911 calls last night because the cable went out just as Breaking Bad was about to start. Ha!

-Breaking Bad’s Walt Jr. and Mad Men’s Glen did a Weird Science spoof for Funny or Die.

-Yikes.  John Mellencamp’s two teen sons were charged with felony battery after allegedly attacking a man.

-Yikes squared. A contractor was found shot dead in Olivia Newton-John‘s house.

-I love Benedict Cumberbatch, but this is kind of douchey.

-The weekend box office was not kind to Ashton Kutcher or Liam Hemsworth. Both of their new movies flopped hard.

-It’s a good day to listen to free music. Neko Case‘s new album is streaming on NPR, and Franz Ferdinand‘s is streaming on CBC.

–Kid President interviewed Beyonce and it was adorable.

–Kim Kardashian is hashtag-pissed at Katie Couric for trashing her in In Touch Weekly and then sending her a baby gift.

-Yesterday was John Oliver‘s last night hosting the Daily Show, and it was awesome. Here are all 32 of his excuses for Jon Stewart’s absence during the summer.

-This Colbert Report segment slayed me. SLAYED ME.

–Andy Cohen got slapped by Oprah and liked it. You get a slap! And you get a slap!

-Speaking of Oprah‘s generosity, she gave away a car to a member of Jimmy Kimmel‘s studio audience.

–Donald Glover wrote and produced a new short film and now everyone who’s seen it is all “whaaa?”

–Kristen Stewart is wearing broken sunglasses. Wait, is this a trend now? Because that means I can bring, like, 13 pairs back into rotation.

-A deleted scene from Walking Dead lets us know that we missed out on Zombie Lori. But less Lori is always a good thing — zombie or not.

–Aubrey Plaza insulted Demi Moore last night on Hollywood Game Night (which, if you’re not watching, you really, really should!), but we’ll never know what it was because NBC bleeped it out.

-Oh Vanessa Hudgens. What happened in your childhood to make you think this outfit was a good idea?

–Amy Poehler plays Adam Scott‘s stepmother in their new A.C.O.D trailer.

-The Spectacular Now’s Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley‘s are the latest celebs telling you to shut up in theatres.

–Mary-Kate Olsen hung out with her boyfriend’s daughter, who looked about the same age as her. Not creepy at all.

–Justin Guarini is downplaying a blog post in which he suggested that he’s totes broke.

–Jennifer Aniston was interviewed by that awkward guy who infamously interviewed Mila Kunis, and she did a pretty good job of rolling with it.

–Josh Duhamel wants to educate you on his 132-pound scrotum.

-I really, really liked this article called “How I Hate Strong Female Characters.” Def worth a read.

–Jon and I chatted about the Breaking Bad season premiere in this week’s Canada.com podcast.

–Justin Bieber posted a photo with Will Smith, who he called “Uncle Will.” Anyone else hoping Smith adopts him? You’d never see Jaden peeing in a bucket.

-Also in need of an intervention: Robert Pattinson, who’s reportedly been hanging out with Mischa Barton a lot. What. The. Hell.

-Sadness: Lisa Robin Kelly from That ’70s show has died. The actress voluntarily checked herself into rehab this past week, but went into cardiac arrest late last night — the eve of her 43rd birthday.

–Kim Kardashian was photographed for the first time since giving birth. She looks normal, makeup-free and regular person-shaped, which makes me think this wasn’t a staged photo opp.

-Fox and NBC are reportedly in a bidding war for a new comedy by Tina Fey set at a newly coed college.

–Will Arnett is dating the ex-wife of Billy Joel. Could you imagine dating someone who was once married to the awesomeness that is Amy Poehler? I think I’d spend  a lot of time trying to convince them to reconcile.

-Now all those people who were complaining about Gwyneth Paltrow‘s behaviour at a recent authors’ event are back-pedalling.

-Glee’s Ryan Murphy says they’ve changed their mind about Cory Monteith‘s character dying from a drug overdose. Thank god.

-In his new edition of Lie Witness News, Jimmy Kimmel asks people how they feel about Oprah‘s (fake) Oscar nomination for The Butler.

-A new teaser for Homeland has landed. I call this one “Claire Danes’ Crazy Eyes.”

-I’m not sure how I feel about the kid who plays Sally on Mad Men starring in Lifetime’s Flowers in the Attic adaptation. Hasn’t she seen enough for one year?

-What if Breaking Bad were shot like The Wire? This awesome montage gives us an idea.

-Following his Reddit AMA, Aaron Paul hosted the inaugural Bitchie Awards, handing out “bitches” for the best questions.

–Bill Nighy says he turned down the opportunity to be the new Doctor Who, even though he’s pretty much the only person who could get me to watch it.

-Has Rachel McAdams found a new man?

-I hate hate hate the dress, but otherwise Calista Flockhart is looking great these days!

-Speaking of ugly dresses, Jennifer Aniston strayed from her usual black and wore floral. Points for trying, though.

–Aniston was back in black in Berlin. What’s happening with the hair swoop thing that she’s been doing?

-Yet another R. Kelly x Phoenix track has been dropped.

–Cate Blanchett looks insanely good in her new Armani ad.

-Sexy sexypot Miguel was arrested for DUI.

-Someday soon before I have to pick my TIFF movies (next week!), I’m going to go through all of the festival trailers. First up is the one for Therese, starring Elizabeth Olsen, Oscar Isaac and Jessica Lange.
