Hugh Jackman is recovering after having a spot of skin cancer removed from his nose.

Idris Elba and René Redzepi (owner of Noma, the restaurant in Copenhagen where I had the most amazing meal of my life last month) cooked together on Jimmy Kimmel’s show. My ovaries just exploded.

-In other late night news, Jennifer Lawrence told David Letterman a lovely story about repeatedly pooping her pants.

-Meanwhile, Jennifer Lawrence yelled at some photogs (clearly in jest), but now everyone’s talking about how she’s FREAKING OUT because people suck.

-Whoa whoa whoa. Both Cooper AND Charlie from Center Stage are going to be in a new TV show about ballet? Sign. Me. Up.

-In other awesome casting news, Bill Murray just signed on to star in a new HBO miniseries.

Justin Bieber‘s concert ticket sales in Australia are weak. Has the fever finally broken?

-Meanwhile, in a new interview Justin‘s manager Scooter Braun admits that he can’t really control the pop singer anymore.

-I really liked this oral history of Good Will Hunting. Did you know that Kevin Smith saved that movie after reading the script on the toilet?

Mark Wahlberg says if he produced Fifty Shades of Grey, he would have got Brad Pitt to star in it. Sure thing, little buddy.

Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones and Aubrey Plaza hung out — and Anne Hathaway somehow managed to worm her way in there.

-Also, watch Amy Poehler and Jon Glaser sing a “Summer Nights” karaoke duet in a preview for Parks and Rec.

Nick Offerman doesn’t love his moustache as much as you do.

Kendall Jenner and Harry Styles claim they are “just friends” after being photographed together in his car. Too bad. Not caring about them as a unit takes less energy than not caring about them separately.

-Despite what I may think of him personally, Leonardo DiCaprio‘s charity work is pretty boss.

Ron Burgundy sang to Rob Ford last night.

-Meanwhile, god bless whoever cut together the Rob Ford movie trailer using old Chris Farley clips.

Amanda Bynes has been found mentally competent to stand trial in her DUI case.

-Lookie here: the CW is making some ratings waves. I gave up on Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD a few episodes ago, but that series could learn a lot from CW shows like Arrow, especially when it comes to staging action sequences on a tiny budget.

-How have I never watched “Losing it with John Stamos” before? Amazing. In this one, Dave Coulier talks about Alanis Morissette singing about him.

Josh Brolin reportedly trained for seven weeks to memorize the choreography for one extended shot in Oldboy and cried after filming the scene, but it ended up getting trimmed from the final version of the film.

Aaron Carter has filed for bankruptcy.

Arcade Fire has released a sweet new video for ‘Afterlife,’ winning us over again after yesterday’s fancy dress shenanigans. I’m not going to lie; this video made me tear up a little ’cause it reminded me of A Better Life.

Sarah Silverman is doing a Reddit AMA right now.  Let’s hope someone asks her about that stupid Variety critic who thinks girl comics shouldn’t work blue.

-Here’s the trailer for Twice Born, starring Emile Hirsch and Penelope Cruz.

Kelly Clarkson, Ginnifer Goodwin Pregnant

-It’s a Hollywood baby boom! Once Upon A Time’s Ginnifer Goodwin is expecting a kid with costar Josh Dallas, and Kelly Clarkson is also going to be a first-time mom. (Thank goodness. All of that baby-making talk in interviews was getting awkward.)

-In other happy news, Leighton Meester and Adam Brody are engaged. Somewhere, Chuck Bass is crying into a purple silk cravat.

-In less happy news (depending on who you are), Chris Brown has just been ordered to go back to rehab for 3 months.

-The sad Brittany Murphy plot thickens. Her dad is trying to reopen the investigation into her death, but the lab results may have been lost in the mail.

Josh Hutcherson‘s SNL promos are just meh, but I still have high hopes for the ‘lil guy!

Kendall Jenner celebrated turning 18 by posting barely legal pics online.  Maybe she was just trying to prove that the Kardashians have nipples, despite what Kanye West’s new music video would have you believe.

-Meanwhile, Kylie Jenner and Jaden Smith held hands in public. Wait, Kendall and Kylie aren’t the same person?!

-Speaking of Jaden, his mother was over-the-top freaked out on last night’s David Blaine special. But the way she was clinging to Will seemed to dispel split rumours (despite what her new music video implies).

Miley Cyrus bleached her eyebrows. Please don’t turn this into a thing, teen girls everywhere.

Jon Stewart‘s latest takedown of Rob Ford is also his best yet. .

Taylor Swift was spotted “smiling and laughing” at a pub with Douglas Booth. For a second, I confused Douglas Booth with Dougray Scott and was very sad.

-Yay! Rilo Kiley have a new video out.

-Check out Tina Fey and a bunch of other celebs in the new Muppets trailer.

-The interwebs is unhappy with People’s decision to crown Adam Levine the Sexiest Man Alive.

-Also, Jezebel’s excerpts from the People issue made my life.

-What’s worse? The fact that Sean Penn went off on someone for taking a photo, or the fact that the guy taking the pic guy reportedly worked for the company that paid Penn $500K to speak to?

Channing Tatum’s epic split is hilarious.

Anna Wintour went to a Kanye concert and the world imploded.

-Here’s the trailer for Devil’s Knot with Reese Witherspoon and Colin Firth, about the West Memphis Three case.

Drake and Zoe Kravitz Spark Dating Rumors

drake-zoe-kravitz

-Wait, Drake and Zoe Kravitz might be dating? But that breaks up two of my favourite fantasy couples in one fell swoop: Drake & Rihanna AND Zoe & Penn!

-Sorry, but not even your secret BFF Jennifer Lawrence can make the sheer dress trend work.

Mindy Kaling wrote a very cute and encouraging letter to teen girls.

-Is there anything Brangelina can’t do? Their wine was just named the “best rosé in the world.”

-When I first watched the Kanye West video I thought “Finally! He’s learned how to poke a bit of fun at himself.” But the general consensus seems to be that this is a straight-up serious music video. If that’s the case, there aren’t enough eyerolls in the world (especially considering his recent performances of that song have been amazing).

-Who has more self control: Rob Ford or Alec Baldwin?

-Oh, and now Alec Baldwin is hate-Tweeting at Anderson Cooper. Classy.

Variety’s feature on Emma Thompson makes me love her even more, and I didn’t think that was physically possible.

-God bless Jezebel for scouring Reddit to find the best stories from groupies.

-Although I still can’t quite believe that Armani managed to confuse Alfre Woodard with Idris Elba, it did spawn a very funny meme.

-It sounds like Frank Darabont still isn’t over getting fired from The Walking Dead.

Jennie Garth has split from the guy you didn’t know she was dating.

Evan Rachel Wood has no interest in telling you her son’s name so just stop asking, ‘k?

Kate Middleton says Prince George is “growing very fast,” which is exactly what all new mothers say. Do you think she also spams all of her friends’ Facebook feeds with baby photos?

Early reviews of Catching Fire are strong. Yay!

-Wait, so Kristen Stewart’s hideous tattoo isn’t just fake ink for an upcoming role? Uh oh.

Chiwetel Ejiofor and Kate Moss‘s photo spread in Vogue is gorg!

-Betrayal has basically been cancelled by ABC, and I’d be surprised if Once Upon a Time in Wonderland comes back, either.

-Planning on attending Arcade Fire‘s upcoming tour? They want you to dress up like a fancy pants.

-Oddest headline of the day: “Coldplay’s Chris Martin DJ’d for Arcade Fire while disguised as a skeleton”

New Solange!

-Just in case you were wondering, Roseanne Barr is still utterly insane.

-This is disappointing: Daniel Day-Lewis‘ son appears to be a homophobic jerk who thinks he can rap.

-These Orphan Black credits in the style of Parks and Recreation made my entire day.

-Deadline owner Jay Penske is taking Nikki Finke to arbitration. Oh, to be a fly on that wall…

Franz Ferdinand has a new video out. I missed these guys!

-Speaking of new videos, let Sarah Silverman teach you about divas.

-Awww, crap. I want to give Chris Hardwick a hug now.
