Rashida Jones’ Secrets of Success

The cover of Wired magazine featuring Rashida Jones.

-Why isn’t Rashida Jones on the cover of more magazines? Her guide to finding happiness at work in this month’s Wired is awesome. (Even more awesome: she’s co-writing the script for Toy Story 4!)

-Us Weekly claims Cameron Diaz is taking a break from acting so she can try to have a baby. Well, I guess that sounds better than “she’s taking a break from acting until science has figured out a way to permanently erase her Annie performance from casting directors’ collective memories.”

Working with Jared Leto sounds about as relaxing and rewarding as you’d expect.

-Today Show co-shot Willie Geist accidentally called Amanda Seyfried “Titsy” this morning, and she laughed it off instead of responding by calling him “Ass Face Dicksy,” which proves she’s a much better person than I.

-I still haven’t finished Orange Is the New Black (only one episode left and then I never have to hear that theme song again!), but I already love this Vulture article based on the headline alone: Is Piper Chapman Actually the Worst?

-Fox’s Sleepy Hollow just pulled out of Comic-Con this year because production on the show is starting sooner than expected. Too bad; I really wanted to watch that panel and see how the cast interacts because the stories about Nicole Beharie are bananas.

-It swells my heart to see all the positive early reviews for Amy Schumer’s Trainwreck movie. Like, there’s serious swelling happening, y’all. I might need an ice pack.

-Celebs took to Twitter to react to the awesome landmark decision to legalize same-sex marriage in all 50 states.

-After the SCOTUS ruling, NKOTB’s Jonathan Knight took his boyfriend’s last name on Twitter, which is the goddamn sweetest.

-A bunch of loonies demonstrated outside a Magic Mike XXL screening to protest Sofia Vergara unwillingness to let her ex unfreeze their embryos. And in case you were wondering, she’s still not in that movie.

-A moment of silence, please: Jay Z and Beyonce were just dethroned as the highest paid celebrity couple by Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris.

-I’m really glad EW released their X Files photos early online, because if I didn’t see this pic of David Duchovny wearing Gillian Anderson like a backpack until my print magazine arrived, I would have scared everyone in my mail room with some stupidly high-pitched squeals. As it was, seeing it at work led to some inappropriate office fist pumping….

-Meanwhile, Gillian Anderson can’t dye her hair anymore without it falling out so she’s wearing a wig in the reboot and she wants everyone to chill the eff out about it already, ok?

-That’s right, advertisers. Feed my CW addiction. FEED IT!

-There is going to be not one, but two post-credit scenes at the end of Ant-Man. This is going to make the guy who sat next to me at Age of Ultron and sulked through the credits very happy.

-The latest Legend trailer really doubles down on Tom Hardy. Not that I’m complaining.
