Anna Kendrick and the Sesame Street crew created a really “absorbing” video.

Chris Brown‘s mom burst into tears in court when a judge ordered him back to jail until April 23.

Gwyneth Paltrow made another Life + Times playlist and I don’t hate it, which is very confusing.

-In his new book, Rob Lowe reveals that he turned down Patrick Dempsey’s role on Grey’s Anatomy.

-Vulture asked four Kickstarters their thoughts about the Veronica Mars movie.

-An American Horror Story writer revealed season 4’s freaky new setting.

-Everyone’s talking about the new trailer for The Maze Runner, which seems kind of Hunger Games-lite to me.

Amanda Seyfried Strips Down for W

Amanda Seyfried poses in lingerie for the new issue of W, where she talks about falling for costars and kissing Megan Fox. She also admitted on Twitter that she boarded a plane with a Swiss Army knife in her pocket.

Madonna dressed up as the Khaleesi to celebrate a Jewish holiday.

-Meanwhile, I like these charts that only Game of Thrones fans will understand.

-The Guardian asked Scarlett Johansson about the controversies surrounding Woody Allen and SodaStream, and the results make for a really awkward interview.

Jamie Lynn Spears (‘member her?) just got hitched and commemorated the occassion with what might just be the most unflattering pap shot of a bride on her wedding day ever. Congrats?

-Has Halle Berry been cut out of the new X-Men movie? All of Anna Paquin‘s scenes were already edited out, which seems like the bigger loss.

-Speaking of big budget blockbusters, Lupita Nyong’o is in talks with J.J. Abrams for a leading role in Star Wars.

-Photos from the How I Met Your Mother finale have been released, so feel free to read way too much into them.

Shailene Woodley can’t stop gushing about George Clooney. Welcome to the club, lady!

Chris Hardwick tried to lighten the mood after last night’s BRUTAL Walking Dead ep by tweeting this.

-I loved and adored the Veronica Mars movie (though I still don’t get why Jason Dohring felt the need to lose 20 lbs for the role). It did better than expected at the box office, but will probably make most of its money on VOD, where it’s currently ranked No. 3 on iTunes. There was a lot of controversy surrounding the digital download for backers. I was able to download it no problem, but those who couldn’t are encouraged to download it from iTunes and get a refund.

-Meanwhile, here’s all of the cameos in the Veronica Mars movie, and a supercut of Big Lebowski references, man.

-The internet has set its sights on a new crowdfunding goal: funding a MacBeth movie with Rupert Grint, Sean Bean and Charles Dance.

-Is Donald Glover returning to Community already?

-Here’s Gwyneth Paltrow‘s version of “Happy” from Glee. It’s as terrible as you’d expect it to be.

-I really liked this TV Guide article celebrating all the great things happening in Canadian TV, even though I don’t really watch any (with the exception of Being Human, which I got totally sucked into a couple of weeks ago, only to discover there’s only four episodes left. D’oh!)

-On last night’s episode of Lindsay Lohan‘s reality show, she didn’t have enough cash to pay her rent.

-The Anchorman 2 gag reel is a thing of beauty.

Elizabeth Hurley has moved on from Shane Warne, and he’s not too happy about it.

-Sigh. Someone in Hollywood decided it would be a good idea to give Katharine McPhee another shot at leading a TV show.

-Buzzfeed did a killer profile of Orange is the New Black trans star Laverne Cox.

-The latest Maleficent trailer recalls its Sleeping Beauty roots.

Gillian Anderson on Dating David Duchovny: “It’s a nice idea, but it’s not going to happen”

David Duchovny Gillian Anderson
David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson in Entertainment Weekly’s reunion issue.

Gillian Anderson killed all of our dreams by denying that she’s ever been in a romantic relationship with David Duchovny. *pout* [Looking for news on The X Files reboot? It’s in this post.]

-Meanwhile, I’m bummed that Gillian‘s new show on NBC isn’t getting great reviews.

-During Angelina Jolie’s EW interview, she’s asked about those 50 Shades rumours and she “laughs and shakes her head – for a long time. Jolie fully blushes.”

Lady Gaga‘s performance at SXSW culminated in her being repeatedly puked on by a “vomit artist.” How is that an actual thing?! And is this a good move for a singer who’s admitted to struggling with bulimia in the past?

Chad Michael Murray is writing poetry about ravens. Amazing.

Lena Headey  and Jerome Flynn are reportedly not on speaking terms on the Game of Thrones set after breaking up. Wait up — Cersei dated Bronn?!

Vanessa Hudgens is showing off her Beyonce dance moves in a new Instagram video.

-This photo gallery of a typical day in Girls star Jemima Kirke‘s life doubles as a guide to being a Brooklyn hipster.

-I’m pretty sure this is just an unfortunate outfit + angle, but it’s sure to inspire a Mila Kunis bump watch.

-Speaking of bumps, if Scarlett Johansson wanted to keep her pregnancy under wraps a bit longer, she could have. She doesn’t look pregnant at all in these photos.

-Speaking of Scarlett, Captain America: The Winter Soldier is tracking for a huge opening.  Also, the post credit sequence was directed by Joss Whedon.

Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler don’t believe in vaccinating their kids. Luckily, no one gives a shit what they think.

Gwyneth Paltrow is now putting sponsored posts on her Instagram, which is kind of gross.

-This is great:  Theo James surprised a group of hardcore Divergent fans.

Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield got all lovey dovey over an L.L. Bean delivery. Whatever floats your boat, guys.

-The creator of Enlisted (which is a really great show — watch it!) opens up about how his brush with death informed tonight’s episode.

-Speaking of Enlisted, star Geoff Stults just signed on to lead a CBS sitcom. I’m sure he’s in second position to Enlisted in case it gets renewed, but still. Not a good sign.

-Happy Veronica Mars movie day!  To celebrate, here’s the unaired FBI pilot they pitched to the network in a failed bid for a fourth season, this new clip of the cast from PaleyFest, a hilarious photo Kristen Bell tweeted from the premiere, the cast taking a “which character are you?” quiz, and a completely adorable video of Bell and Enrico Colantoni on set.

-It’s hard to determine exactly how much money the movie needs to make to be considered a success. You can usually figure it out using Steven Soderbergh’s formula (take the production cost, times it by two for marketing /overseas distribution, then double that to cover the exhibitors’ cut, and that’s how much you need to break even). But the marketing budget seems tiny judging from the total lack of commercials, the studio is actually renting the theatres and keeping 100% of the ticket sales, and it’s available on VOD starting today. Plus, last night’s late night premieres performed really well. Fingers crossed!

-Ok, so we all got fooled by that kissing video earlier this week, which turned out to be an ad starring models and actors. Here’s a new one with actual people, and Jimmy Fallon‘s version with kittens and puppies.

Victoria Beckham discovered a Spice Girls-themed pizza at the back of her mom’s freezer a tweeted a photo.

-I kind of dig Jennifer Lopez’s new video. Not only does it feature throwbacks to her most famous looks, but it starts with her and her friends wondering, “Why do men always objectify the women in every single video? Why can’t we, for once, objectify the men?”

Rachel McAdams just dropped out of Keanu Reeves‘ new movie.

Jamie Chung says that Bryan Greenberg is taking control of their wedding planning, which is kind of cute.

-Uh oh. Are Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez on the verge of separating?

-Here’s Chris O’Dowd, Nick Frost and Rashida Jones in the Cuban Fury trailer. Looks adorable!
