Nick Cannon Concerned for Mariah Carey’s “Emotional State”

-It looks like Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey aren’t going the amicable “consciously uncoupling” route. He’s letting it be known that he’s the one who left her, and that he’s very worried about the kids because of her “mental state.” If that’s the case, surely there’s a better (and more private) way to go about it?

-My So-Called Life premiered 20 years ago today (god, I’m old!). Here’s what would have happened in season 2.

-So apparently no one else thinks it’s odd that Beyonce is usually so very careful about hiding Blue Ivy‘s face on social media, but she had no problem making her the star of a very calculated PR move last night? Ok, then.

-When Ed Sheeran walked past Miley Cyrus to accept his VMA, she reportedly mouthed the word “asshole.” Dramaz!

-If this video of him feeding her Skittles is any indication, Jennifer Lopez is back together with Casper Smart.

–The Newsroom’s new teaser has landed. I swear to god, if Jeff Daniels wins another Emmy tonight for this crappy show, I might actually flip a table.

-Speaking of the Emmys, Aaron Paul talked about wanting “to do a little something to say thank you” to Breaking Bad fans with his scavenger hunt.

-A small church is preventing you from seeing Game of Thrones’ Cersei‘s boobs.

-Another weekend, another batch of ice bucket challenges. Getting dunked recently were Malin Akerman (who used it as an opportunity to make out with Carla Gugino), Neil Patrick Harris, Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon and Tina Fey (who let her daughter Alice do it in her place). And god bless Chris Martin for nominating Angelina Jolie, and Matt Damon for nominating George Clooney!

-Here’s where you can read an excerpt from Lena Dunham’s upcoming book.

–Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed have reportedly moved in together after only three weeks of dating, which sounds like a totally solid, fool-proof plan.

-I got my TIFF tickets today and I just realized that I’ll be seeing movies with both Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. That was poor planning on my part. (I’m also seeing movies with Bill Murray, Anna Kendrick, Jennifer Garner, Mark Ruffalo, Keira Knightley and Colin Farrell, so I’m hoping those will cleanse the Twihard palette.)

-One movie I couldn’t fit into my schedule was Whiplash, but the new trailer looks great.

VMAs 2014: Best and Worst Dressed

vmas 2014

The VMAs are usually known for meat dresses and foam fingers, so this year’s red carpet was a bit underwhelming. Still, there were some definite risk-takers. Here’s my picks for the night’s best and worst looks (and check out all the outfits here):

BEST:

Taylor Swift: Ok, I know you hate this. And maybe you should hate this. I mean, there was a huge ‘camel toe watch’ happening on Twitter when she stepped onto the red carpet. And yes, a onsie isn’t the most flattering thing she could have worn. But I’m just glad that she didn’t opt for her usual “I’m a sparkly princess” style. And this outfit made her legs look like they go on forever. I don’t know, guys. I kinda dig it!

Laverne Cox: I’m so goddamn glad she’s invited to walk red carpets, and looking so fierce when she does. She knocked this one out of the park.

Kendall Jenner: I don’t think I’ve ever said anything nice about a Jenner, but I kind of liked this. Sexy without being slutty, it totally captured the VMAs vibe.

Solange: First, I will cosign any outfit that looks as comfortable as pyjamas. Plus, it’s H&M! Love, love, love.

Katy Perry: It’s not the “best” in terms of fashion, but Katy’s custom Versace denim is a rip-off of Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears’ AMA outfits, which is AWESOME.

WORST:

Gwen Stefani: I was less offended by her LAMB outfit than her face. What happened? Why does someone as beautiful as her feel the need to mess with it? Sadness all around.

Iggy Azalea: Yeah, it might have been Versace, but that doesn’t make it flattering. Look at how stretched the material is across her thighs! Rita Ora had a similar issue with bunched stitching on her Donna Karen gown.

Kim Kardashian: How do you manage to look both frumpy and slutty at the same time? Kimmy K manages this difficult feat.

Beyonce: Look, it’s not the worst dress ever and it definitely shows off her curves. But the night’s was hers — and this is what she shows up in? I’m bored to tears.

Lucy Hale: Fortunately, she changed into a different outfit to host the pre-show, but the first look she wore was beyond disappointing, especially for someone whose TV character regularly goes balls-out style-wise. This unflattering length of the skirt makes her look like a hobbit, and those terrible shoes aren’t helping.

 

 

Vanessa Hudgens Flaunts It

-This is supposedly Vanessa Hudgens on Flaunt’s new cover, but I’m not convinced. (It’s cute that she and Ashley Tisdale are still tight, though.)

–Jennifer Lopez told Chelsea Handler that she likes monogamy because she’s “not one to like whore around and stuff,” slut-shaming single ladies everywhere.

–Leonardo DiCaprio has given up pasta. Pray for him.

-The first teaser for Girls season 4 is all about Lena Dunham‘s stunt double.

–Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult added a conservation edge to their ice bucket challenge by using “dirty bath water,” while Victoria Beckham got her whole family involved. Jessica Chastain nominated Mindy Kaling, Sandra Bullock and Julianne Moore,  Benedict Cumberbatch took the challenge five times, and Patrick Stewart schooled everyone.

-Also, Orlando Jones used his ice bucket video to comment on Ferguson.

-Wait, so Chloe Grace Moretz is not dating Brooklyn Beckham? Boo!

-Here’s the first trailer for The Vampire Diaries’ new season.

-When they were shooting The Dark Knight, they ended up interrupting a wedding. On the plus side, the couple now has photos of Tom Hardy dressed as Bane in their wedding album.

-The teaser for Quentin Tarantino’s Hateful Eight has leaked.

–George Clooney‘s last castoff just had a baby.

-I really liked this Grantland article on the tipping point when comedy-news became more real than “real news.”

-Here’s the new Nightcrawler trailer. I’m really intrigued by this one — just not sure if I’m intrigued enough to use one of my TIFF slots on it.
