Beyoncé’s Big Announcement Angers Interwebs

Beyoncé was on GMA to talk about “something amazing she wants you to know” leading to everyone speculating that she was going to announce a new baby/tour/album/all of the above. Nope, she just wanted to tell you that you’re all fat. Twitter was less than impressed.

-I saw Spy this weekend and liked it but didn’t love it, but I do love that it trounced Entourage at the box office.

-I installed Periscope this week specifically so I could watch the Gilmore Girls reunion panel, but no one Periscope’d it. (What’s up with that, ATXers?) Luckily, EW just posted the entire video.

-Speaking of which, I love that Lauren Graham seems to bring her Parenthood kids everywhere she goes — and pits them against her Gilmore Girls kid. (For the record,  Amber beats Rory but Lorelai beats Sarah.)

-Meanwhile, Mae Whitman played Dawson at the ATX Dawson’s Creek live-read, and it looked awesome.  Also, the creator of that show revealed that he thought Joey would end up with Dawson until he was halfway done writing the finale, and then he realized that Pacey‘s the goddamn best (I *might* be paraphrasing…)

Amy Schumer explained why she pranked Kim and Kanye on a red carpet: “All the reporters were going crazy and it was Kim and Kanye, just standing there, owning it, being short and important. And I think falling is the funniest thing, so I took a dive in front of them.”

Tim Gunn had really strong words about Kim Kardashian’s book of selfies. Strong, rational words.

-An allegedly drunk Kate Moss was escorted off plane after calling the pilot a “basic bitch.” The most surprising thing about this story is that she was flying EasyJet.

-In other surprising celebrity flight news, Brangelina and their brood flew coach. Nothing makes sense anymore.

-Weird. Brad Pitt‘s War Machine will skip theatres and head straight to Netflix. This could be huge.

-This is great: 51 TV writers talk about their favorite moment they’ve ever written. I’m amazed so many of them cite their pilots, which are almost always one of the worst episodes of a series.

Clint Eastwood‘s joke about Caitlyn Jenner will be cut from Spike TV’s Guys’ Choice Awards. Seriously, why do they keep letting this guy in front of a microphone?

-Speaking of the Guys’ Choice Awards, Jake Gyllenhaal received the “Guy Con” award from Rachel McAdams. I don’t know what that means, but they both looked adorbs.

-This weekend, Rachel was also spotted with her ex, Michael Sheen.

-Speaking of Rachel, here are two new True Detective season 2 promos. I can’t believe I’m getting sucked back into that show. I’m so weak.

-In other promo news, here’s our first look at Josh Charles in Masters of Sex.

-I love this article on how Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead went from a box office flop to a cult classic. (I say “The dishes are done, man” a LOT.)

Drake is “very interested” in Victoria’s Secret model Shanina Shaik. Get it, Wheelchair Jimmy!

Zoe Saldana’s husband has taken her last name because she’s awesome and why wouldn’t he?

Jerry Seinfeld won’t do college shows because he thinks students today are too PC. He’s probably not wrong.

-Here’s a great interview with Mindy Kaling and Amy Poehler. It sounds like Inside Out is going to be HUGE.

Matt Damon gets stranded on Mars and has to go all MacGyver in The Martian trailer. The cast is insane: Jessica Chastain, Kate Mara, Donald Glover, Kristen Wiig, Jeff Bridges, Chiwetel Ejiofor.
