–David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson were together for the upfronts and they decided to keep the party going by having her be the surprise guest at his NYC gig. Suddenly, my Tumblr and Twitter feeds were full of the MSR tag like old times. There’s video here and here if you feel the need to release some squees today. Sigh. This is just like when they moved in together for a bit after her marriage ended and the fandom exploded and my fictional ship momentarily became my real ship and it was super confusing…
–Tom Hardy name-dropped The Littlest Hobo in an interview and my ovaries just exploded.
–This warning that was sent to parents at a Brooklyn nursery school where Lindsay Lohan will complete her court-ordered community service there is classic.
–Adam Sandler’s sweet musical tribute to David Letterman couldn’t come at a better time for him.
-Asked by Variety about playing a lesbian in her new movie, Cate Blanchett says she’s had relationships with women in the past “many times” but never thought about labeling herself. Just in case you didn’t already think she was a BAMF.
–Amy Schumer destroys late-night starlet interviews in new sketch. The fact that her legs get shinier with every passing minute until they’re literally gold slays me.
-Are we really believing that Bradley Cooper will appear periodically in CBS’s new remake of Limitless? Like, really?
-Speaking of CBS, how weird is it that they’d Supergirl on Mondays in the fall, up against Gotham. Someone at DC is not going to be happy about that…
-The ABC upfronts turned into a weird, all-star dance party.
-Vanity Fair has a juicy read about the backstage struggles to save The View.
-Center Stage turns 15 today. I have watched that movie a stupid amount of times and it’s ruined me for ballet. (Did you know that when you go to a real ballet, there’s no on-stage motorcycles or physically impossible costume changes? What gives?!)
-The Vampire Diaries cast and crew pranked Nina Dobrev on her last day on set by “caking” her. That sounds delicious.
-Also, Nina bid a touching goodbye to her character in EW.
–Anna Kendrick played Egg Russian Roulette with Jimmy Fallon and things got icky.
-I’m not loving the character art for Lupita Nyong’o in Star Wars, but maybe I’m just bitter that she’s CGI’d.
-On the plus side, Lupita opened Cannes looking fierce.
–Jeremy Piven somehow found a way to make the Entourage press tour even more annoying. He’s doing his interviews in character.
-The girl who plays Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter movies is dating the guy who played James Potter. Franchise synergy!
-In defending SNL against plagiarism accusations from This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Michael Che has pissed off a lot of Canadians.
–Britney Spears and Iggy Azalea team up for their new ‘Pretty Girls’ music video.
-Marvel debuted an extended Ant-Man spot during Agents of SHIELD last night with lots of new footage.
-I know I probably shouldn’t be surprised that the Jem and the Holograms trailer is so, so bad — but this is exceptionally terrible, no?
