Shailene Woodley Talks Kate Winslet & Not Identifying as a Feminist

Shailene Woodley on the April 2105 issue of Nylon.

-In the new issue of Nylon, Shailene Woodley reveals that she’s living my dream (the one that entails getting encouraging pep talk emails from Kate Winslet).

-Whoop, there it is. Us Weekly has the first photo of Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx looking cozy. Isn’t he tight with Tom Cruise? This won’t be awkward at all…

-Allow Katie to distract you from the photo with this blurry clip of her “dancing.” Look! Shiny!

-Um, I don’t want to alarm you guys but the Lip Sync Battle show actually looks good? The clip of Anna Kendrick and Jennifer Lopez teaming up on “Booty” is amazing, and I’ll never not want to watch John Krasinski sing-emoting.

-Meanwhile, Anna and Taran Killam gushed about their love of the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt theme song on Twitter.

–Gwyneth Paltrow is “incredibly close to the common woman,” says Gwyneth Paltrow. Sigh. It’s like shooting fish in a barrel at this point…

–Jon Cryer talks about Charlie Sheen’s infamous meltdown in this excerpt from his new book.

-As I mentioned last week, there was bound to be more to the Kathy Griffin/Fashion Police story than first appeared. And here it is: she was reportedly on the cusp of being fired.

–Jessica Alba is trying to keep other businesses from using “Honest” in their title. Screw you, tiny candlemaker!

–Kevin Hart called Justin Bieber‘s roast “a little rough” on last night’s Kimmel. “There were moments where I was like, ‘Justin is going to cry in the car. There’s no way he’s not going to cry.'”

-Meanwhile, Justin showed up to support Madonna during her appearance on Ellen…for some reason. (I do like that Madge immediately starts mocking his outfit.)

-A South Park oral history? Sure. (Fun fact: three people in the focus group cried while watching the pilot because they were so offended.)

–Jennifer Garner and Jimmy Fallon played a dangerously delicious game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. Then she cried on the Today Show.

-It’s baby number five for Jude Law, who just welcomed a girl with his ex.

–Miles Teller is super ripped now. It’s disconcerting.

–Casey Wilson just killed our Happy Endings reunion dreams, which is a total punch in the dick.

-Yikes. It sounds like the SXSW screening of Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart‘s new movie didn’t go great.

-Considering the source is Star magazine I’m not going to get to excited, but I could totally ship Taylor Schilling and Carrie Brownstein.

-I’m surprised that Sleepy Hollow managed to nab a renewal, but cautiously optimistic. The last two episodes felt like the producers hitting a giant reset button and hand-waving away everything that came before it this season.

-Rejoice! Oscar Isaac‘s beard is back in the new Ex Machina trailer.

-The most impressive thing about the Pixel movie trailer is watching them destroy Toronto’s University Ave, which is probably not supposed to be the main takeaway.

Blake Lively Fixes Motorcycles Now

Blake-Lively-O-Magaine
Blake Lively talks about her latest projects in the April 2015 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine.

-Sentences that Blake Lively says unironically now include: “I’ll knit or cook—or work on a motorcycle, a skill my husband is teaching me” and “One of my latest projects was painting nature-inspired throw pillows.”

-I feel like rumours that Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx are secretly hooking up surface every six months or so, but this is the first time it’s coming from a source as reputable as People.

-Comedy Central is wisely cutting a controversial Paul Walker joke when they air the Justin Bieber roast.

-Meanwhile, David Arquette was kicked out of Justin Bieber’s 21st birthday party (repeatedly!), which might be the saddest thing I’ve ever heard.

-Here’s Michael Fassbender as Steve Jobs. He looks like Michael Fassbender.

-“Straight James Franco” interviewed “Gay James Franco” for a magazine. Spoiler alert: they’re both weird.

-During SWSW, Jimmy Kimmel and Matthew McConaughey made some hilarious TV commercials for a local video store in Austin.

-Vanity Fair did a St. Patrick’s Day gallery of stars posing in their magazine throughout the years while wearing green, and I went through the whole damn thing like a click bait sucker. The biggest question I was left with: Whatever happened to Jennifer Aniston’s “on-line chat site”?!?

-Two X Factor New Zealand judges were fired after they bullied a contestant (it was really weird). Lorde then swept in to save the day by sending the contestant a box of cupcakes.

–Dominic Purcell is joining his Prison Break costar Wentworth Miller for the Arrow/The Flash spinoff  (though this article makes it sound like Robbie Amell has declined to be part of it). Here’s the thing: as much as I love both of the shows this thing is originating from, they can’t just keep making casting announcements without actually giving us the premise. Like, what the hell is this show going to be about?! ‘Cause it’s starting to feel like the CW just wants to cash in on a fandom that will follow them anywhere.

-Meanwhile, Stephen Amell pitched an idea to the CW of doing a Jason Reitman-esque live reading of Arrow/Supernatural fan fiction. I want this to happen so hard.

-Speaking of CW shows, I really dug the first episode of iZombie, which is premiering tonight to glowing reviews. It’s Veronica Mars meets Buffy meets Pushing Daisies, and once they get past the case-of-the-week stuff (which they’re already planning), I think it could go from being cute to being amazing.

–Shailene Woodley did the barefoot thing again, this time at the Insurgent premiere.

–Miles Teller, Wiz Khalifa, Jim Parsons and Jimmy Fallon played Catchphrase last night, and it was filled with awkward handshakes and terrible dancing.

–Ashley Judd says she’s pressing charges against Twitter trolls for their vulgar comments. I don’t blame her. I love Twitter, but it sucks at dealing with harassment.

–Kate Bosworth gets her horror on in the new trailer for Before I Wake. The scariest thing about this movie is clearly Thomas Jane‘s hair.

Kate Winslet Talks Boobs and Bums in InStyle

Kate-Winslet-InStyle

-In her InStyle cover story, Kate Winslet talks about being happy with her body post-baby: “I’ve got boobs and a bum and a man who loves me.”

–Chris Evans and Lily Collins are reportedly dating? Doesn’t she seem too young for him? Or am I just still bummed that the rumours of him dating Sandra Bullock didn’t pan out?

-Another day, another awesomely inspiring speech from Shonda Rhimes to kick you in your pants parts.

-Human tire fire Emile Hirsch appeared in court to address assault charges after allegedly attacking a woman at Sundance.

–Kate Hudson and Chris Martin are just friends though, right? Right??!

–Kanye West just shared a bunch of naked pictures of Kim Kardashian with the world, cause why not?

–Ryan Gosling still does not get where the “Hey Girl” thing came from.

–Justin Bieber was roasted this weekend. The special doesn’t air on Comedy Central until March 30, but the internets have helpfully compiled all the nastiest burns. (The Hannibal Buress ones are especially epic.) Don’t feel too bad for the Biebs, though; he asked for it.

-Meanwhile, his Men’s Health feature also backfired. Sure, he got to show off his baby abs on the cover, but the accompanying article is super scathing.

–Elton John is urging a Dolce & Gabbana boycott after the designers’ IVF comments — and he’s getting serious celeb support.

-I know it’s only March, but I’m pretty sure this is going to win headline of the year: “Why Would Anyone Want to Date Sean Penn?”

-Buffy’s Nicholas Brendon has been arrested for the third time in five months. Get it together, Zeppo.

-I haven’t caught up on The Jinx yet but judging by how my Twitter timeline exploded last night, it’s a must. It seems the HBO doc accomplished what Serial couldn’t: an arrest. (The LAPD insists the timing of the arrest, which happened the same weekend the finale aired, was merely a coincidence.) Meanwhile, The Jinx creators cancelled a bunch of scheduled interviews today and keep ducking questions about the timeline of the confession.

–Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp A Butterfly leaked a week early, and now his label can’t decide if they should pull it.

–Ansel Elgort says he would “love to produce a record for Missy Elliott.” So, that happened.

-Just because he was caught doing body shots off bikini babes on spring break, doesn’t mean Patrick Schwarzenegger cheated on Miley Cyrus, says Patrick Schwarzenegger.

-This weekend at a con, David Tennant adorably helped a young fan ask a girl out because he’s a perfect human being.

-It’s weird that Community starts again tomorrow and the interwebs is oddly quiet about it. Early reviews are mixed to positive.

-Uh oh. David Lynch says the third season of Twin Peaks may not happen after all due to contract “complications”.

-It’s time to rethink everything we thought we knew about Wilmer Valderrama. Demi Lovato says she “really wouldn’t be alive today without” him.

-Here’s a clip of Kristen Stewart and Juliette Binoche in Clouds of Sils Maria, a movie I saw at TIFF that I liked — ish.

–Kevin Bacon‘s ad about bacon and eggs is pretty wonderful. Your move, Jon Hamm.

-I’m glad that Amy Schumer‘s movie Trainwreck is getting such glowing reviews. Love her!

-Wait, Rita Wilson is a singer? She recruited Tom Hanks and Sara Bareilles to star in her new music video.

–Gillian Anderson is all smiles while promoting The Fall at BBC. I will never not love her.

-It looks like it’ll be another nasty divorce for Pamela Anderson. She’s taken out a restraining order against her estranged husband for alleged abuse.

-The CW released trailers for the remaining episodes of Arrow and The Flash and I want them in my eyeballs right this second.
