-Is Tom Cruise secretly dating fellow Scientologist Laura Prepon? This makes me weirdly bummed out.

-In happier Laura Prepon news, The Orange Is the New Black season two trailer has arrived!

-This makes me wonder why I don’t follow Val Kilmer on Twitter.

–James Franco continues to implode before our eyes. He just called a New York Times theatre critic a “little bitch.”

-19 months after announcing their split, Will Arnett has filed for divorce from Amy Poehler. And now our pain begins anew!

-Speaking of Parks and Rec stars, Ben‘s Letters to Cleo shirt AND his Catan-esque game will both make an appearance in the season finale. Score!

-Judging by these new photos, Adam will be sticking around in the next season of Girls. Thank goodness; he and Ray are pretty much the only interesting people left on that show.

–Miley Cyrus is really bummed about her hospitalization, guys.

-It looks like Anna Paquin will make it into X-Men: Days Of Future Past after all.

-Speaking of X-Men: Days Of Future Past, director Bryan Singer has been accused of sexually abusing 17-year-old boy. (His lawyer says the lawsuit is “completely without merit.”) Does this mean we shouldn’t go see the movie? Because I have a really hard time staying away from anything that involves James McAvoy.

–Gwyneth Paltrow (who once said she’d rather die than let her kids eat Cup-of-Soup), served tacos and hot dogs topped with Fritos at her son’s birthday party. Gasp!

-Meanwhile, Gwyneth and the CEO of GOOP have consciously uncoupled.

-The Good Wife’s Emmy campaign has gone negative. Love the show, hate this strategy.

–Harvey Weinstein and Scott Rudin‘s former underlinings talk about who was worse to work for. They both seem kind of horrible.

-The Cannes lineup has been announced and there are a few great surprises (Ryan Gosling‘s directorial debut! Lots of Canadians!) and a few not-so-great ones (like the lack of Angelina Jolie’s Maleficent).

-There’s more trouble for Columbus Short (who plays Harrison on Scandal). His wife has filed for divorce, claiming he threatened to kill her and then commit suicide.

-This Scandal Monologue Mad Libs is perfection.

-Speaking of perfection, here’s the honest trailer for The Wolf of Wall Street.

–Robert Pattinson and Guy Pearce face a grim future in trailer for The Rover.

–Miley Cyrus‘ camp would like you all to know that her hospitalization had to do with an allergic reaction and had nothing to do with excessive partying, mmm-kay???

–Jon Hamm washes away his Don Draper stink with this totally adorable Sesame Street clip.

-Did Katy Perry hook up with Diplo at Coachella?

–Donnie Wahlberg deserves some serious brownie points. He helped Jenny McCarthy change the news surrounding her by popping the question.

-It’s not everyday that a celebrity’s suicide attempt involves a severed penis.

-You know, if I was going to trust anyone to whip Justin Bieber into shape, it’d be The Office’s Craig Robinson so I approve of this friendship.

-I just assumed that it was the work of a bored intern, but it turns out William Shatner really has been live-tweeting CW shows. He started doing it for Supernatural because he likes building up small sci-fi shows, and then it just snowballed. This explains why he and Sam Witwer are always tweeting at each other (adorably, I should add).

–Channing Tatum may play Gambit, which would be a lot more exciting if Gambit wasn’t THE WORST.

–Amy Schumer and Josh Charles did an Aaron Sorkin spoof set in a fast food restaurant and it’s perfection. If you’re in Canada you may have to Hola/Media Hint/TunnelBear/whatever to get around the geo-blocking, but it’s totally worth it.

–Paul Walker‘s brothers will stand in for the late actor’s final scenes in Fast & Furious 7.  One of them really looks like him.

-The cast of Roswell is reuniting at the ATX Television Festival and it makes me way more excited than what’s probably acceptable. If I find out that Katherine Heigl was intentionally not invited, my head might actually explode.

-This is an awesome oral history of the 8 Mile rap battles.

-“Wait, I have a cameo? I didn’t know that.” James Franco isn’t exactly up to date with what’s happening in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

-Save the cheerleader, save the world? Not anymore. Hayden Panettiere was NOT asked to appear NBC’s Heroes reboot. (Their loss. She was the only reason I kept watching Nashville for way longer than I should have.)

–Beyonce posted a thigh-riffic vacation photo on Instagram, possibly to make us all forget about that thigh gap crap from earlier.

-Here’s the latest trailer for Elizabeth Banks’ Walk of Shame. Does it make me a bad feminist for wanting to watch the crap out of this?

-The ridiculous Star Wars set photo analyzing can begin…now.

-EW’s examination of series finales continues. Today, it’s Dawson’s Creek, which remains one of my favourite series finales of all time even though I had stopped watching the show years before.

-Brace yourself: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s wedding is near. “It’s about high style and high fashion.”

–Dina Lohan pleaded guilty to a DUI and is looking at community service.

–Taye Diggs was spotted on a date with a model but I’m just going to go ahead and pretend that he and Idina Menzel are still together because I clearly need more time to process this.

-FX just renewed The Americans. ::happy dance::

-Speaking of The Americans, Keri Russell looks lovely in a new magazine spread.

-Given my recent propensity to devour YA books, I’m kind of shocked I haven’t read If I Stay, but the new trailer with Chloe Moretz intrigues me.

–Dax Shepard was on Ellen and he took credit for our new love of sloths.

–Anthony Mackie keeps pushing for a Wonder Woman movie and making me love him even more.

-This is weird: a clip for Fox’s X-Men: Days of Future Past will play in the closing credits of Sony’s Amazing Spider-Man 2.

-All of the X-Men: Days of Future Past trailers have been on point, but this final one pulls into the lead by upping the snark factor.

–Robert Downey Jr. has also joined Twitter. This is all good news.

–Ice Cube is back-tracking after saying some stupid shit about being “robbed” at the MTV Movie Awards because Paul Walker got the “sympathy” vote. Simmer down, buddy. It’s not the Oscars.

-Do you think Robert Pattinson has a clause in his contract that he’ll only do Cronenberg movies if they include scenes of limo sex? Here he is getting it on with Julianne Moore in the trailer for Map to the Stars.

–Brandy was engaged, but now she’s not.

-Oopsie! Lindsay Lohan was reportedly spotted drinking vodka at Coachella.

–Kelly Osbourne and Paris Hilton got into a fight at Coachella as if it was still 2005 and they were both relevant.

-In other icky Coachella news, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were reportedly spotted getting cozy there.

-Is anyone else really looking forward to seeing Leonardo DiCaprio get mauled by a bear? Just me?

–Alec Baldwin, when someone like Tracy Morgan is expressing concern for your well-being, it’s time to rethink your life.

–Zac Efron has great abs! He’s dating his costar! There’s nothing to see here, folks!

-This season’s Mad Men is continuing all those Megan Draper/Sharon Tate connections, proving that the writers are straight up trolling us now.

-Meanwhile, here’s a rundown of every Canadian that has ever appeared on the show.

–Drew Barrymore’s baby shower attracted lots of stars, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon and Cameron Diaz.

-The international trailer for Annie is out, and there are huge Cameron Diaz-sized bites all over the scenery.

-Meanwhile, Cameron has said a lot of weird shit during her promo tour for The Other Woman.

-Here’s the first trailer for NBC’s remake of Rosemary’s Baby starring Zoe Saldana.

-Um, who knew that Paul Rudd was this ripped?

-I fear that the Spice Girls thing is going to follow Emma Stone around for the rest of her life.

–Amber Heard was spotted enjoying a girls night out that may or may not have been her bachelorette party.

-The Goldfinch just won the Pulitzer so I guess I’m going to have to finally finish that damn book. Here’s a look at who could star in the movie adaptation.

-The reviews of Fargo, which premieres tonight, are wildy mixed.

-Did Kevin Connelly sub-tweet at Adrian Grenier and Jeremy Piven for missing the Entourage wrap party?

-I love Lake Bell so much I’m going to give her a pass for going topless on the cover of Esquire. It’s only because In A World was crazy good.

-This week’s EW had a great feature about series finales, in which they interviewed a bunch of past showrunners. Here, Vince Gilligan expands on his approach to the Breaking Bad ender.

–Maya Rudolph‘s upcoming variety show sounds great. Andy Samberg and Kristen Bell will be on her first show.

-The woman who Laura Prepon‘s Orange Is The New Black’s character is based on is speaking up. I really like Piper Kerman‘s response at the end.

–Andrew Garfield really likes being naked and doesn’t think there’s a problem with that, ok you guys?

-Here’s a trailer for Paul Haggis’ Third Person starring Mila Kunis, Liam Neeson and James Franco.

–Childish Gambino is mad at his label and wants out of his record contract. Come back to Community!!

-Mark your calendars, ladies: Magic Mike 2 will hit theatres July 3, 2015.

–Jenny Slate‘s film Obvious Child was a big hit at Sundance this year, and the trailer proves why.

-Despite reports, CBS says “there are no discussions” with Chelsea Handler for late-night.

-I was a little unsure when Ben Affleck was cast in Gone Girl, but he’s kind of perfect as Nick in the first trailer. This might end up being one of those rare instances where the movie is better than the book.
