Anna Kendrick Talks Dating Dealbreakers

Anna Kendrick is getting all the magazine features this week. Her latest is in O Magazine, where she calls tickling a dating “red flag” and reveals her love of baking blogs.

-Meanwhile, here’s a new clip of Anna and Ryan Reynolds in The Voices.

-Glee’s Naya Rivera says showering every day “is such a white people thing.” Wait, what?

Chris Hemsworth really, really got into his game of Water War with Jimmy Fallon.

Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny tweeting at each other continues to be my favourite thing.

Jennifer Lawrence interviewed Eddie Redmayne, and of course they talked about the Real Housewives.

Brad Pitt, Christian Bale and Ryan Gosling are teaming up to star in an adaptation of The Big Short, making your mom really happy.

-The more I read about Netflix’s Wet Hot American Summer adaptation, the more I want it. Josh Charles, John Slattery and a whole bunch of others just signed on.

-Of all the people I assumed wouldn’t ever want to get married again, Usher was at the top of my list. But he’s taking the plunge one more time.

Julianne Moore already has regrets about her Golden Globes speech. Something tells me she’ll get another shot at an acceptance speech soon.

-Entertainment Weekly’s Boyhood cover is nightmare-inducing stuff. I am not looking forward to that landing in my mailbox.

-The NYT has a good article on Better Call Saul. It’s somewhat comforting that everyone involved seems hyper-aware of the possibility it’ll mess up Breaking Bad’s legacy.

Kristen Stewart is tired of everyone thinking she doesn’t give a f*ck about anything. “I’m like, actually, no one gives a f*ck like me. No one gives more of a f*ck than me. It’s just ironic to me. I’m always like, really?”

Lena Dunham thinks “Tinder is a tool for murder.” She might not be wrong.

-This feature on the ladies from Broad City is fantastic and makes me want to catch up on the show, which returns tonight.

-Speaking of articles that made me want to watch a TV show, Elle ran an excellent profile of Jill Soloway, the creator of Transparent.

Gwyneth Paltrow showed up on Howard Stern this morning, where she talked about how smart she is and dished about her past relationships with Ben Affleck and Brad Pitt.

-The Honest Trailer for Gone Girl is pretty damn great.

-Agent Carter’s ratings slipped last night (which is not uncommon for a second episode), but a 1.5 rating among adults 18-49 on ABC? Ouch!

Russell Brand went off on Fox News’ hate-mongering and it was pretty swell.

-There’s no actual proof that Dakota Johnson and Jaime Dornan don’t like each other, but it’s true that they have zero chemistry in photos/interviews. I’m actually amazed by how bland Johnson is coming off on this press tour. What happened to the spitfire from Ben & Kate?

-Their show may be on the brink of cancellation, but there’s a silver lining for Stalker costars Dylan McDermott and Maggie Q. They’re reportedly engaged.

-I’m intrigued by Liam Neeson‘s new movie Run All Night, mostly because it stars Joel Kinnaman, who should be a bigger star than he is.

Gillian Anderson Talks X Files on Nerdist


Gillian Anderson is featured in the latest Nerdist podcast. I’ve only gotten through the first 15 minutes and I’m already totally enchanted. She so friggin’ great, whether she’s talking about writing sci-fi novels or pushing for another X Files movie. “I would be f***king overjoyed.”

Video has emerged of Jamie Lynn Spears breaking up a fight in a Pita Pit by calming walking behind the counter, grabbing a knife, and threatening them like a goddamn boss.

Anna Kendrick looks great on the new cover of Nylon, in which she defends her Ryan Gosling masturbation jokes (just in case you didn’t already love her).

-The New Girl is going to be a new mom. Zooey Deschanel is expecting her first child with boyfriend Jacob Pechenik. Brace yourself for the twee-est of twee baby names.

-Well, isn’t this interesting? Us Weekly changed their Taylor Swift/Jake Gyllenhaal story to make it more favourable to Taylor. Suddenly, it no longer sounds like she was upset and/or tripping. Imagine that.

Ben Affleck/David Fincher’s remake of Hitchcock’s Strangers on a Train seems like a bad idea, but Vulture makes a strong case for it.

Idris Elba is developing a thriller trilogy about Edgar Allan Poe. I like so many words in that sentence!

Beyonce certainly doesn’t look pregnant, but what do I know about wombs and whatnot?

-This TCA panel on female sexuality on TV sounded great. I especially liked their takedown of “Strong Female Characters.”

-The world just feels like a kinder, gentler place now that Robin Wright and Ben Foster have reunited, doesn’t it?

-Watch Charlie Day fail miserably at guessing popular movies with Jimmy Fallon.

-Nooooo! Stay away from Rihanna, Leonardo DiCaprio.

This takedown of The Boy Next Door trailer almost makes me want to see the movie. “Kristen Chenoweth’s line, ‘He cheats with his secretary every time he goes to the office’ they apparently got out of a barrel labeled “Sassy Best Friend Real Talk From 1978.”

-Community returns on March 17. We’re still waiting to hear if Yahoo Canada will air it.

-Ugh. Woody Allen is getting an Amazon television series. Isn’t the whole point of streaming outlets that they’re supposed to elevate new and exciting voices?

-In the red band trailer for Spy, Melissa McCarthy plays the same character she always does.

-The new Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer is here, and it manages to be awesomely dark without giving too much away. Marvel really doesn’t suck at this.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Play Sisters In New Movie Trailer

-Here’s a very short but very funny teaser for Tina Fey and Amy Poehler‘s new movie, in which they play grown siblings who decide to have one last rager in their parents’ house before it’s sold.

-God bless Tina and Amy for going out in a blaze of giving zero f*cks last night at the Golden Globes. Their Bill Cosby jokes were a thing of beauty. (I also loved the George Clooney dig, the “human woman” joke and “Chris Pine.”) You can watch their entire opening monologue here.

-Meanwhile, Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig made a great case for why they should host next year.

-The biggest Golden Globes mystery: what the hell was Ethan Hawke yelling at Matthew McConaughey about?

-At a Golden Globes after-party, Channing and Jenna Tatum did a synchronized dance routine to Beyonce, proving they are exactly the couple we want them to be.

George Clooney recycled his wedding tux at the Globes. Still hot.

-Speaking of Globes fashion, we recapped the best and worst Golden Globe dresses last night. Lots of champagne was consumed so forgive the typos…

-Also, Twitter did NOT react well to Jeremy Renner‘s tasteless joke about Jennifer Lopez‘s boobs when they were presenting. He later posted a “reminder to not take this shit so serious.” Charming.

Jake Gyllenhaal hung out with Ruth Wilson at an after-party, but there’s still no confirmation that they’re more than just friends. Can’t we just will this relationship into existence?

-At a pre-Globes party, Amber Heard and Johnny Depp proved they’re still going strong — in a really disgusting way.

-Speaking of gross couples, Katy Perry and John Mayer continue to get their reunion on.

-Aw man. I forgot that Marcia Gay Harden had been pulled into the 50 Shades vortex of suck.

Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell are starting rumours about a return to Prison Break on Fox. If they did it like the recent 24 resurrection, I’d be down for it. Plus, it would renew my love for Sarah Wayne Callies after The Walking Dead kinda killed it.

-Nice article on how The CW went from the brink of extinction to surprising success.It was the only broadcast network to take home a Golden Globe last night. (Also, if you want to see what all the fuss is about, the first two eps of Jane the Virgin are re-airing tonight. You won’t regret it!)

-Here’s another reason why it’s fun to be a fan of The CW: they just renewed every single one of their shows that aired this fall.

-Speaking of The CW, here’s the first trailer for  iZombie. I saw this pilot last summer and was totally charmed by it. It’s not perfect but you can tell it’s from the same guy who brought us Veronica Mars; it’s got a similar sassy spark.
