-Well, that was fast. Cameron Diaz is reportedly engaged to Benji Madden. If she wanted to keep this under the radar, this could have leaked next week during the slowest media coverage period of the year. Of course, next week isn’t when Annie comes out…
-Also, is this her engagement ring?
–Mindy Kaling and Chris Messina pulled a Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams at last night’s inaugural People Magazine Awards. (Also, that might be the best dress she’s ever worn.)
-Is Jake Gyllenhaal dating Ruth Wilson?! This might be my favourite new couple rumour ever!
–Abigail Breslin swears she wasn’t trying to beef with Taylor Swift on Twitter.
–George Clooney wrote a petition to support The Interview, but no one signed it. It’s pretty great, though. “We cannot be told we can’t see something by Kim Jong-un, of all f*cking people.”
-Even Obama weighed in on whether Sony made the right decision pulling The Interview: “I think they made a mistake.” (Also, he only called on women at the press conference, which was awesome.)

-I really liked this article about how the Serial podcast was less about telling a story and more about offering a master class in journalism.
–Brad Pitt has reportedly been dismissed from jury duty for, well, being too
Brad Pitt-ish.
-I’m not a big fan of Michael Pitt (based more on stories I’ve heard about him than his actual acting abilities), but he was GREAT on Hannibal last season. There’s got to be some dirt behind why he was suddenly recast.
-The Colbert Report hosted an all-star musical farewell. Here’s everyone who showed up.
–Reese Witherspoon is kicking her Oscar campaign into high gear by opening up about her divorce from Ryan Phillippe.

-Speaking of genre TV, I don’t watch Supernatural but I know a lot of people who will love this oral history.
-Early word about ABC’s new Agent Carter series is that it’s fabulous. And with only 8 episodes, not an overwhelming commitment. Is it weird that January is shaping up to be a better month for new TV than last September was?
