-The naked Emma Stone photo that’s been circulating the web this week is not actually Emma Stone, says Emma Stone. Whew!

–Here’s a clip of Amy Adams tearing up over Philip Seymour Hoffman on Inside the Actors Studio. Brace yourself: it’s a goddamn heartbreaker.

–James Franco felt the need to pen a ridiculous NYT op-ed on Shia LaBeouf, where he basically ignores the plagiarism issue and makes the whole thing about him.

–Robert Pattinson is shooting his new movie in my work ‘hood and was spotted eating at a restaurant I love called Wvrst. I’m kind of hoping that’s as close as I get to him.  I can’t face another round of Twihard craziness right now…

–Emma Thompson cemented her status as a national treasure by playing charades with Bradley Cooper on Jimmy Fallon’s show last night.

–Justin Timberlake just canceled a concert today for “health reasons.” He’s supposed to be on Jimmy Fallon tonight. Will he cancel that too, or is something big coming?

–Matthew McConaughey told Kimmel about his bloody ping pong battle with Woody Harrelson.

-The always-adorable Scott Speedman was on Chelsea Lately this week, where he talked about dating Keri Russell and how they’re still friends.

-Meanwhile, Keri’s Americans costar Matthew Rhys talks about all the dating rumours surrounding them — but notice how he doesn’t actually deny it?

-Here’s the new Divergent trailer than debuted during the Olympics. Seriously guys, Theo James voice is ridiculous.

–Kim Kardashian really wants you to know her butt is real. I was with her up until she wrote “I’m not perfect but I will never conform to your skinny standards sorry! Not me” and then immediately followed it up with “and BTW I’ve lost a lot so far & I’m proud of that!” Pick a side, lady. You’re either conforming or not.

-I love that Fox went a little art house with the Fantastic Four cast, and I especially love that Michael B. Jordan landed the role of the Human Torch, which is a pretty big deal.

-Bravo is getting into scripted series, and the first one they ordered is from Buffy writer Marti Noxon.

–Jason Biggs took TMI to a whole new level by instagraming a bunch of photos and videos from his wife’s delivery room.

–Leighton Meester and Adam Brody wed “a couple weeks ago” and kept it locked down until now.

–Elizabeth Olsen joked that Ashley is her favourite sister because Mary-Kate forgot her birthday.

-The cast of Veronica Mars clearly don’t remember a lot of their guest stars. (I have zero recollection of Aaron Paul being on it. To the DVDs!)

–Alfie Allen, the guy who plays Theon on Game of Thrones, says Grace Jones licked his face when they met.

–This podcast with Tegan & Sara might be the best thing I’ve heard in a while (and I listen to a lot of podcasts. A. Lot.)

-Speaking of Grantland podcasts, on the new B.S. Report Lena Dunham says: “My life’s great passion is the idea of being a guest star on Scandal.” Make it so, TV execs!

-Meanwhile, Lena Dunham took Buzzfeed’s “Which Girls Character Are You” quiz and got Marnie.

-Speaking of Buzzfeed, here’s a link to their “26 Times Tim Riggins Was Pure Perfection” gallery, because YES!

-I don’t know exactly when Anna Kendrick transformed herself into a fashionista, but I love it!

–Justin Bieber is in more legal hot water — this time regarding an incident last year when he allegedly sic’d his bodyguard on a photographer.

-The full text of Graydon Carter‘s letter about the Gwyneth Paltrow takedown was published yesterday.

-Meanwhile, there’s lots of hints that Gwyneth Paltrow is not only facing cheating rumours, but cheating rumours surrounding multiple men. Wasn’t there some blind item talk about her and someone behind the scenes on Glee?

-Speaking of blinds, the new one on Lainey’s site is delicious. The giver and receiver of the wildlife gift is old news, but who could be the power player who set it up?

–Kristen Wiig stopped by the Tonight Show last night as Harry Styles — though she didn’t really seem to realize Harry Style is British.

–Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner have penned a dystopian young adult novel. Well, I guess if anyone is an authority on the downfall of civilization, it’s the ones who are causing it.

-Meanwhile, Adam Brody flashed his new wedding ring. And by “flashed,” I mean he happened to step outside where there were photographers.

-Us Weekly claims that Jared Leto and Miley Cyrus are hooking up, which could not have come at a worse time for him. His publicist should try to reignite the Lupita rumours.

-Nominees who lose on Oscar night will still walk away with a swag bag worth $80k.

-The Batman prequel series continues to make waves with its casting. Jada Pinkett Smith has just signed on.

-In other casting news, NBC just won’t give up on Debra Messing.

-Whoa. Kristen Bell wasn’t joking when she said yesterday that she was going to start targeting media outlets. She just called out E! on Twitter.

-A British paper mistakenly identified Sir Patrick Stewart as gay — and his response is as awesome as you’d expect.

-Oh dear. The Entourage movie has begun principal photography and Haley Joel Osment is in it.

-Speaking of movies no one wants, Michael Patrick King says ‘there’s one story left‘ in the Sex and the City saga.

–Kristen Stewart is a music video director now, apparently.

-This prickly Spike Jonze interview is really hard to watch. Why is he so insistent that Her has nothing to do with technology?! No wonder the interviewer tweeted this afterwards.

–Sharon Stone, 55, posed in a bikini for Shape magazine, where she talked about how she’s never had a facelift. She looks amazing, however she does it. GMA had behind-the-scenes video from the photo shoot, and even without Photoshop it was impressive.

–Brie Larson is in talks to star in Judd Apatow’s Trainwreck. Have you seen Short Term 12 yet? Watch it! Hers was the best performance of 2013, IMO.

-Despite everyone’s gushing about it, True Detective left me cold up until the last episode, when I finally began to get invested. But despite whatever I think about the story structure, I do appreciate how thoughtful the coverage has become. Just like Lost or Breaking Bad, there’s some pretty amazing TV analysis happening around it. Even celebrities are getting in on the action.

-I love that this is how Idris Elba signs autographs. If I were him I wouldn’t be sorry, either.

–Beyonce sang “XO” for the first time on TV at the Brit Awards today.

–Rihanna is celebrating her 26th birthday in Aspen and documenting every glorious moment on Instagram.

-Meanwhile, Stephen Colbert shared that selfie he snapped on the first episode of Jimmy Fallon‘s Tonight Show.

-I very much like this new Angel Haze song featuring Sia.

-Here’s the sexy scene from House of Card’s 11th episode that everyone’s buzzing about.

-Congrats to Leighton Meester and Adam Brody: they tied the knot in a secret wedding. (I love that she had her bachelorette party at the drag bar chain Hamburger Mary’s.) Blair Waldorf and Seth Cohen 4 eva!

-It’s still way too early to make a verdict about Jimmy Fallon as the new host of The Tonight Show (not that that’s stopping anyone), but he started out really strong last night with a dance number with Will Smith and a parade of celebrities handing him $100 bills (do you think Tina Fey and Lindsay Lohan talked about their Mean Girls days in the green room or just pretended they didn’t see each other?). The ratings were good, too.

–Justin Timberlake appears on Fallon later this week. Is he going to drop some big news?

-To compete with Fallon’s first show, David Letterman had the cast of How I Met Your Mother read last night’s Top 10 list.

-Speaking of HIMYM, lots of hipsters feel betrayed by Greta Gerwig‘s decision to star in the sequel. But just think of all the artisanal hemp seed marmalade she can make with that CBS money!

–Gwyneth Paltrow‘s rep denied a Whisper post about her having an affair with entertainment lawyer Kevin Yorn — and then asked what Whisper was. Classic.

–Rihanna looks amazing in the latest issue of Vogue. Too bad her cover story barely talks about her at all.

-Way to go, Twihards. You’ve gone and scared poor Robert Pattinson away.

-Post-rehab Selena Gomez instagramed a photo of her drinking what looks like an alcoholic beverage, which I guess is ok after you’ve made your reps insist the treatment had nothing to do with substance abuse issues.

-Meanwhile, Selena‘s reportedly been spotted hanging out with Niall Horan from One Direction.

-Congrats to Josh Gad, who just welcomed his second daughter, and Jason Biggs, who has a new son.

–Kristen Bell, who’s auctioning off a date to the Veronica Mars premiere, rages against the “f*cking crazy” paparazzi in a new interview.

-Speaking of Veronica Mars, Chris Lowell is sharing lots of artsy behind-the-scenes pics from the film shoot on his Instagram account.

-Pretty much everyone who’s anyone has remixed Beyonce’s “Drunk in Love.”

-The couple that shills together, stays together? Ryan Reynolds joins wife Blake Lively as a L’Oreal spokesperson.

–Marc Anthony says he and Jennifer Lopez‘s boyfriend are BFFs who braid each other’s hair and discuss their secret hopes and dreams.

-89-year-old Elaine Stritch showed up on the Today Show this morning and dropped an f-bomb on live TV. As if that wasn’t boss enough, she then followed it up with this tweet.

-It’s Kate Winslet vs. Shailene Woodley in this new clip from Divergent.

–Matthew McConaughey is talking about the “McConaissance” on the cover of this week’s Variety.

–Rebel Wilson and Ellen Degeneres showed off their terrible rap skills on Ellen’s show.

-Sundance has been on a roll lately when it comes to showcasing really amazing shows (Top of the Lake, The Returned, Rectify), so I’m intrigued by their new drama Red Road. You can watch the first 12 minutes here.

-Check out The National’s new video for “I Need My Girl,” and listen to Beck‘s new album stream here.

-Wait, so Cara Delevingne and Michelle Rodriguez are officially a couple now?

-There were so many beards at the BAFTA awards, you guys.

-A Bachelor contestant from Ottawa sounds surprisingly awesome — which is probably why she dropped out of the competition.

-Shameless, which has quietly been kicking ass this season, just got renewed by Showtime.

-Everyone’s in a tizzy about the 15-second teaser trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy. I’m still not sold on this talking racoon thing, but hello’s Chris Pratt’s abs! He’ll be premiering the full trailer tonight on Kimmel (and is soliciting suggestions for secret signals).
