Lady Gaga and R. Kelly‘s disgusting-sounding new music video directed by Terry Richardson has been scrapped.

-More details have emerged about Sandra Bullock’s alleged stalker, and they’re terrifying. Police found 7 machine guns in his apartment.

Maggie Gyllenhaal is an Honourable Woman in the first trailer for her Sundance limited series.

Miley Cyrus send a sweet video message to a sick fan just before she passed away.

-Who do we think the subjects are of this blind item? My bet for No 2 is Lea Michele, but No 1 is tougher. Diane Keaton? Alyssa Milano?

Idina Menzel’s boob popped out of her dress during a live performance but she totally rolled with it cause she’s a pro.

Jared Leto instragrammed a photo of himself with a mustache and the world freaked out about not being able to see all of his beautiful face.

-Does any other new fall show look as good as Gotham? If so, I haven’t seen it.

Taylor Swift’s new kitten is beyond adorable. Also adorable? The fact that she named her Olivia Benson.

Anna Kendrick shared a behind-the-scenes photo from Pitch Perfect 2 rehearsals. Can that movie just hurry up and be released already?

-Yet another reason to love Emma Stone and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. They asked if they could read meaner tweets on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

-Meanwhile, Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield continue to demonstrate that with great power comes great responsibility.

Aaron Paul covers the new issue of Variety. God, I miss him.

Shailene Woodley poses in her underwear on the cover of Women’s Health (’cause nothing say health like a thigh gap?), where she talks about wanting to play Stevie Nicks in a movie.

-Speaking of thigh gaps, Jennifer Hudson posted a bunch of bikini photos on Instagram.

-I love Game of Thrones, but I think I love the Gay of Thrones recaps even more (“Baby Kristen Stewart talks her way onto that boat and is all ‘Bitch, call me Celine Dion because my heart WILL go on!'”). This week’s was especially awesome thanks to a surprise George R.R. Martin cameo.

OK GO continue their valiant fight to make music videos relevant again. Their latest was done in all one take and took them 50 tries to get it right.

-I didn’t want to believe it, but it appears that Uma Thurman and Quentin Tarantino are honest-to-goodness dating. So. Weird.

J.Lo and Marc Anthony split three years ago, but the two just got around to finalizing their divorce.

Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino was arrested during a brawl in (where else?) a tanning salon.

Melanie Griffith went to an event without her wedding ring, and Antonio Banderas’s name covered up on her arm tattoo. Sad face.

-Here’s a photo from Missy Peregrym and Zachary Levi’s wedding.

Olivia Wilde’s first Mother’s Day was not everything she’d hoped it would be: “We were sweating, angry and hungry.”

T.I. is furious with Azealia Banks after she mocked Tiny: “Your wife has meth face.”

-Three people were arrested for throwing beer bottles and shouting at guards outside Taylor Swift’s beach house.

-Vulture named Hannibal’s season finale the best episode of TV in 2014, while EW compiled the year’s best scenes.  (It’s a good list, though I’d rank Peter Sarsgaard’s walk toward his execution and Don and Peggy’s dance to “My
Way” higher.)

Lindsay Lohan is going to star in a Mamet play? Is this real life?!

The Expendables 3 trailer has landed. Just like its cast, this franchise will not die.

After the wedding, Missy Peregrym tweeted this photo with the caption “That coffee date was UNREAL.” (twitter.com/mperegrym)

-I had no idea Zachary Levi and Rookie Blue’s Missy Peregrym were even dating, let alone engaged, but they just had a secret wedding in Maui. It’s a good thing he wasn’t there when I stood next to her at a concert last weekend, or I would have gone full Chuck fangirl on him.  It was hard enough not peppering her with questions about Stick It (which I just discovered the full version of on YouTubeCancel my day!)

-Shocking report: a new book by a Tonight Show producer reveals that celebrities can sometimes be dicks. I know, it’s world-rocking. The called-out divas include Teri Hatcher, Jessica Simpson, Christian Bale, and Paula Abdul.

Anna Kendrick can do no wrong. Oh wait, she just signed up to voice a “relentlessly upbeat” troll doll. That actually sounds super wrong.

-In other improving health news, Tracy Morgan‘s condition has been upgraded from critical to fair.

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman surprised some hospital patients with a sweet serenade.

Jimmy Kimmel got into a drunken insult battle with Cersei Lannister, and it was epic.

Anna Wintour talked about the sad state of Hollywood red carpets: “How many mermaid fishtail strapless sequins [gowns] can we see?” Preach, lady!

Jessie Ware has new music out, which makes me so very happy.

-Also making me happy is FunnyorDie’s video on how black women run Hollywood, starring RettaAlfre Woodard and more.

-There was a Blossom cast reunion and the selfie from it is glorious.

-New mom Kim Kardashian must be suffering from a bad case of baby brain. She seems to have completely forgotten to wear a shirt.

-Meanwhile, Kim and Kanye spent four days perfecting one Instagram photo, which seems like a totally valid use of time.

Jason Segel‘s says his mom cried and sent out a mass email to family members after watching his full-frontal nudity scene in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

-According to JLo‘s new music video teaser, twerking will not die.

Steven Soderbergh’s new show, starring Clive Owen, looks pretty damn great.

-Here’s the first 4 minutes of the Elliott Smith documentary Heaven Adores You. Sigh.

-On the Graham Norton Show, Keira Knightley said fans often mistake her for other celebrities. Natalie Portman, I get. But Britney Spears?!

-On the same show, Samuel L. Jackson proved he’s still a badass.

Justin Bieber is off the hook for that attempted robbery case.

-Did Miley Cyrus subtweet Selena Gomez after losing to her at the MMVAs? It’s hilarious how she seems to think those awards matter. I covered the MMVAs, and I still have no idea who won.

-Also, just in case you were wondering, Miley Cyrus rolls blunts better than Rihanna.

Jason Momoa will play Aquaman alongside Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. This almost kinda maybe makes me want to watch it. Possibly.

Jack Coleman is the first returning cast member to sign on for NBC’s Heroes reboot. He’s better than this.

-It’s possible that I watched this video of Stephen Amell training for the new season of Arrow more times than is socially acceptable.

-The UK trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy is the best one yet.
