Tom Hardy’s Esquire profile (which weirdly involves a visit to a paint-your-own-pottery place in Calgary) is both endearing and slightly incomprehensible.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel named their new son Silas Randall, which I kind of adore.

Bradley Cooper and Suki Waterhouse allegedly made out to Interpol at Coachella. I watched some of Interpol’s set on the YouTube live stream. It *was* pretty hot.

-Also, Katy Perry brought the crazy with her Coachella outfit  which means she fit right in with the rest of the crowd. (And to think Nicole tried to ban me from wearing a romper one year…)

Robert Pattinson was spotted at Coachella with his maybe fiancee FKA twigs.

Madonna surprised Drake with an onstage kiss at Coachella and he DID NOT enjoy it. He later blamed his reaction on her lipstick. Whatever the case, the whole thing was really uncomfortable. Just imagine if it were an older male artist pulling that on a young female singer.

-As if her day didn’t already suck, Playboy says they’re planning to publish Madonna‘s “lost” nude photos, which were taken in 1979.

-The Sony hack revealed both Channing Tatum and Chris Pratt‘s email addresses — and neither of them have bothered to change it. So tell your mom to feel free to include them on her daily inspirational quote forwards.

Lena Dunham has jumped on the Tracy Anderson fitness bandwagon, which seems so very OOC for her.

Gwyneth Paltrow is trying to live on a $29 food stamp budget this week, and she’s being eaten alive on social media. Her intentions are good, but surely she must realize that limes and parsley aren’t exactly grocery staples, right?

-We haven’t even seen Pitch Perfect 2 yet, but Pitch Perfect 3 has already been greenlit. As someone who’s having a Pitch Perfect-themed birthday party in a few weeks, I approve!

-I only watched a bit of last night’s MTV Movie Awards before switching over to Game of Thrones, but I was amazed by how many female masturbation jokes host Amy Schumer managed to sneak through. There was even a whole skit about girls sneaking vibrators into a Fifty Shades screening (which culminated in one woman dragging in a washing machine). Amazing.

-Also at the MTV Awards, a new clip from Paper Towns debuted.

-The CW publicity team must have had a ton of fun pulling together this “superhero fight club” promo. It makes no sense, and I love it. (I only wish they’d remembered that the second rule of fight club is there’s no shirts in fight club…)

-A Freaks and Geeks reunion? Be still my ’90s heart.

George and Amal Clooney are the picture of domestic bliss. I just bought a pair of jeans really similar to hers (though I’m guessing she didn’t get hers at Forever 21).

Mariah Carey‘s new album cover is a Photoshop nightmare but I will still forgive her for everything.

Lindsay Lohan really doesn’t want her mother to come live with her in England, which might be the most rational impulse she’s ever had.

-The Terminator Genisys trailer actually looks kind of amazing. It’s weird how spoilery the John Connor reveal is, though.

-The second trailer for Ant Man, starring Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly and Michael Douglas, is way better than the first. They heavied up on the comedy so that it’s more in line with Guardians (that Thomas the Tank Engine bit is going to kill).

Games of Thrones Star Emilia Clarke channels Daenerys for Vogue UK

-Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke deserves a way better cover than what Vogue UK just saddled her with.

-Meanwhile, her costar Kit Harington plans to “be a good little hunk and shut up.” Good boy.

-This is incredibly sweet: Blake Lively made all three of her Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants castmates godmothers to baby James.

Jay Z shared footage from his wedding to Beyonce in honor of their 7th anniversary.

-I ended up working stupid late last night and had the TV on in the background, which meant I caught all of Madonna‘s appearance on Fallon. What I learned: she lives in fear of her kids calling her “basic,” she once accidentally asked her 13-year-old son Rocco if he had any friends she could date, she’s super terrible at standup comedy, and her toy instrument rendition of “Holiday” is wonderful.

-Also, Fallon taught Nikolaj Coster-Waldau a dance designed to embarrass his kids.

Kanye West covers the new issue of T magazine, where he informs us that we’re all living in A.Y. — After Yeezy. Okaaaaaaay.

-I love that every entertainment site I visit seems to be hate-recapping CSI: Cyber.

Karl Lagerfeld turned down a part in Zoolander 2 because he thought it was a “silly” stunt.

Alyssa Milano’s breast milk was confiscated at Heathrow Airport and she’s not happy about it.

-Listening to Sandra Bullock’s 911 call about a stalker in her house makes me want to install a panic room.

Gwyneth Paltrow is going to live on food stamps for one week. Artisanal, farm-to-table food stamps.

-Guess I wasn’t the only one who wasn’t super impressed by yesterday’s Jurassic World clip. Joss Whedon called it out for being “70s era sexist.”

-Ruh roh. As a frat boy, Jon Hamm allegedly used the claw of a hammer to drag a pledge around by the balls.

-This is probably the most realistic summary of TV shows’ renewal chances I’ve seen yet.

-Congrats to Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen, who just welcomed their third kid.

Harvey Weinstein will not face criminal charges for allegedly groping a model because Hollywood.

-Need one last soul-crushing experience before this week is over? Here’s a new Entourage movie trailer.

-Disney dropped a new featurette for Tomorrowland. Sigh. I wish George Clooney could narrate my life.

Sofia Vergara Thought Joe Manganiello Was “Too Handsome”

Sofia Vergara’s Vanity Fair spread is predictably sultry  and booberrific, but there’s something charming about the way she casually mentions in the interview that she issued a press release about her last breakup.

-Also, Sofia and Reese Witherspoon talk about their new movie and how seriously Reese takes herself in this interview.

-Sadness: Taylor Swift says her mom is battling cancer.

Liz Smith‘s Hollywood Reporter interview is awesome. Toast’s annotated version of Liz Smith’s Hollywood Reporter interview is more awesome.

-We saw Anne Hathaway challenge Emily Blunt to a Lip Sync Battle with “Wrecking Ball,” and now Emily is striking back with her rendition of “No Diggity.”

-Watching Ryan Gosling blush after getting a text in the middle of an interview released my inner squee monster.

Gosling admits that keeping a dream journal is “kooky” but he still asked his Lost River actors to do it.

-Also, The Gos says Hollywood is just like high school. (Although his high school was on a boat so I don’t think we can trust his judgement.)

Josh Gad sang his way through James Corden‘s opening monologue to the tune of Frozen songs.

Justin Bieber hugged Ariana Grande onstage, and Big Sean was having NONE of it.

-The season 3 trailer for Orange Is the New Black has arrived. I’d totally read Crazy Eyes’ fanfic.

-Netflix is overloading us with great trailers today. Here’s the first for Grace and Frankie, starring Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin as two women whose husbands (played by Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston, respectively) leave their wives for each other.

-Has Nicholas Hoult moved on from Jennifer Lawrence to Dianna Agron? Looks-wise, he certainly has a type, no?

Jon Hamm‘s rep is shutting down In Touch’s story about him and Jennifer Westfeldt splitting.

Amy Poehler has red hair, is still a beautiful tropical fish.

Joel Kinnaman is filming the Suicide Squad? Which means Joel Kinnaman is somewhere in my city right now?? Must. Control. Breathing.

-I’m not a UK citizen, but I still want to vote for Maise Williams for prime minster.

Ryan Reynolds continues to make me warm to the idea of a Deadpool movie, one inappropriate tweet at a time.

-The Key & Peele valets hilariously recreate every big Game of Thrones death (spoilers, obvs). (“Khal Drogo was killed by a paper cut!”)

-Here’s the first footage from True Detective season 2 (which also just announced a premiere date of June 21). Happy first day of summer! Here’s some manpain!

-Marvel is prepping an SHIELD spinoff, which surprises me because its ratings and critical reception are so very “meh” — and it also makes me nervous about Agent Carter’s survival chances (which EW optimistically says is hovering “around 60%“).

-Speaking of EW, screw them for this CW-bashing review of Daredevil. (The print version was so much worse.)

Chris Pratt hearts raptors. He advocates for dinosaur rights in the first clip from Jurassic World. Is this supposed to be so, um, cheesy?
