Is This The End For Chavril?

Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger announced their engagement on the cover of Hello magazine.
Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger announced their engagement on the cover of Hello magazine in 2012.

-According to Us Weekly, Avril Lavigne‘s husband Chad Kroeger “has been going around L.A. telling people that they are divorcing.”

–Jennifer Lawrence looks fantastic (even more so than usual) in her new Dior ads.

-Speaking of looking fantastic, I love Ellen Page’s W cover.

-I seriously don’t understand Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard. They led an anti-pap campaign dedicated to respecting celebrities’ privacy, and now they’re starring in a Samsung commercial that purports to give an intimate glimpse into their lives. Also weird: I saw her walking down the street during the first weekend of TIFF and she was giving serious side-eye to anyone who even looked like they might approach her, but she was pushing a stroller so that’s totally understandable. BUT she was also walking past Roy Thomson Hall, where about 900 TIFF ticketholders were lined up on the sidewalk, waiting to get into the St. Vincent screening. If she didn’t want to be recognized, there were a bunch of other streets she could have taken that wouldn’t require her to walk past an entire line of pop culture fans. I don’t get it.

-Apparently, Lauren Conrad is somehow still famous enough to sell her wedding photos to a mag.

-Well, this is gross: Joan Rivers‘ doctor reportedly took a selfie with her while she was unconscious.

-I love watching Julianna Margulies acting goofy on Jimmy Fallon. It’s a side of her we so rarely see.

-Brace yourself: Kim Kardashian says she and Kanye West are “trying” for a second baby.

-God bless last night’s premiere of The Mindy Project for giving us another Danny dancing scene (and god bless the internet for immediately giving us GIFs of it).

–Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber continue to enjoy the most tween-y dates ever.

–John Travolta has publicly addressed rumors that he is gay for the first time — by denying them, of course.

–Taylor Swift has been named best dressed by People magazine. It looks like her pap-assisted fashion tour of New York this summer paid off.

-Just like every other person with a pulse, Diane Keaton is crushing on Amy Poehler.

–Amal Alamuddin‘s family is sticking to tradition by “paying for most of” her wedding to George Clooney.

-Did Beyoncé Photoshop her latest bikini pic? Check out the wonky stairs between her thighs. This all seems so beneath her.

-I love (and agree with) this headline: “Mysteries of Laura Is a Bad Show. It’s a Bad, Bad Show.” I have a stupidly high tolerance for crap TV and even I couldn’t make it through the full pilot for that one.

-On the other side of the fall TV spectrum, here’s the latest trailer for the eagerly anticipated The Affair, starring Joshua Jackson and Ruth Wilson.

-I think book trailers are one of the worst trends around, but dammit if I wasn’t totally charmed by Neil Patrick Harris’.

-Here’s the latest trailer for Before I Go To Sleep with Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth. I liked the book, but this doesn’t look promising.

–Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling welcomed a daughter on Friday. (The baby already has her own fake Twitter handle, natch.) You know how women always subconsciously compare every guy they meet to their father? This girl is going to be alone forever.

–Lupita Nyong’o stopped by Sesame Street to teach Elmo all about skin.

–Kristen Wiig and Ellen DeGeneres butchering “Let It Go” from Frozen is my new favorite thing.

-Also my new favourite thing: Bill Murray dancing to “Turn Down For What” at a party in South Carolina.

-It’s adorable that the cast of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants still hang out.

-Sweet! Matt Damon is returning to the Bourne franchise.

-NFL cancelled Rihanna‘s song last week in the wake of the Ray Rice storm, and she is NOT HAPPY. CBS has since responded.

–Beyoncé and Jay Z ended their tour with a gushy display of affection.

-As if Tina and Amy weren’t enough to make you watch next year’s Golden Globes, George Clooney will be honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award.

–Jimmy Fallon filled in for all of Barbara Streisand’s duet partners last night.

-The new Castle gag reel proves that if you’re going to work with Nathan Fillion, you’re going to get slapped. A lot.

-I’m not down with any of these actresses playing the True Detective female lead over Elisabeth Moss.

–Ashley Tisdale is posting her wedding photos on Instagram.

-Nice! Canadians are getting the new Veronica Mars webseries on CTV’s site.

-Only Bryan Cranston can make me sit through a commercial about baseball.

Katniss Makes Demands in New Mockingjay Trailer

-At long last, here is the first full trailer for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part I. This one definitely feels more explosion-y then the previous installments.

-Meanwhile, JLaw is set to co-host the 2015 Met Gala, which means it will be THE BEST.

-I still can’t figure out if Beyonce is pregnant or not, but none of us are talking about those split rumours anymore, are we?

–Keith Urban tweeted his apologies for missing concerts following the sudden death of Nicole Kidman‘s father.

-Mayim Bialik is the latest person who just doesn’t understand what an Ariana Grande is, while Giuliani Rancic has her own tale of dealing with the pint-sized diva.

-The rom-com Playing It Cool reunites Chris Evans and Anthony Mackie (who I saw during TIFF and who is so, so pretty).

-These Vampire Diaries bloopers are as lame as the last season.

-When are Mindy Kaling and B.J. Novak going to hurry up and get together already?

-Meanwhile, Mindy says she “misspoke” when she said abortions were too serious a subject for sitcoms to tackle.

–Lindsay Lohan says she handled Whitney Houston‘s bodybag at the morgue because she’s the WORST.

-It’s what we’ve all been waiting for: Martha Stewart calling out Gwyneth Paltrow.

-One of the head writers for Orange is the New Black filed for divorce from her husband to date the actress who plays Poussey. Seems about right.

-Here’s the trailer for Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper’s third movie together, Serena.
