New Photos From The X Files Reboot Are Here

x files reboot new photos

-EW has a new X Files cover story and exclusive photos from the new episodes. BE STILL MY HEART!

-Meanwhile, David Duchovny understands Tumblr about as much as I do.

–Channing Tatum surprised fans by showing up to an advanced screening of Magic Mike XXL last night and started twerking on them.  Sadly, it was at the screening I was at (which was probably for the best. That audience was already filled with ovaries on the verge of exploding…mine included.)

–Jennifer Lawrence decided to have fun with the paparazzi, which I’m pretty sure is breaking some sort of snobby Hollywood code.

–Rose McGowan says she was dropped by her agent after calling out Hollywood bullshit by tweeting about Adam Sandler’s sexist casting call. If an established actress can’t point out crap without this kind of consequence, why would emerging talent ever speak out?

-Good on Jessica Chastain for showing Rose her support.

–Mindy Kaling celebrated her birthday in style with McDonald’s. Obviously.

–Ryan Reynolds joked that the difference between him and Ryan Gosling is that he’s a c***. I’m just gonna leave that right there.

-Well, well well. The NYT TV critic who once called Shonda Rhimes an “angry black woman” has been moved to a new beat.

-It’s only June, but I think we can already rule out this as being the summer of Ben Affleck.

-Here’s the first promo for Heroes: Reborn. I gave up on the original show somewhere in season two, but  Hot Rookie Blue Guy, Hot Orphan Black Guy and Evil Chuck might just suck me into this reboot. Seriously, was the casting office located in my cranium?

-Bless. Amy Poehler joined Seth Meyers for a Women’s World Cup-themed reprisal of “Really!?!”

–Joe Morton appeared on The Nightly Show in character as Papa Pope from Scandal, and his rant about the confederate flag fight was EPIC.

-Buffy’s Charisma Carpenter just joined the cast of Scream Queens, the new MTV show that we are apparently unable to legally access through any of the multiple Canadian service providers I pay for. That’s swell.

-Speaking of TV shows I can’t (legally) watch, every TV critic I follow is raving about Amazon’s Catastrophe.

–Jennifer Love Hewitt had a baby boy with that guy she met on her rub-n-tub show.

-Um, is AMC’s new Fear The Walking Dead promo supposed to be this bad? Like, is the thing we’re meant to fear most this kid’s acting?

-Saved by the Bell’s Screech was sentenced to 4 months in jail after “accidentally” stabbing someone.

-Poor Yvette Nicole Brown. The Community star announced yesterday that she’ll be moderating a panel for Once Upon a Time at Comic-Con and her Twitter feed got totally overrun by the show’s shippers. (Also, the fandom wants Regina and Emma to hook up? I haven’t seen the show in years, but whaaa?)

–Jason Sudeikis and Alison Brie play two garbage people trying not to have sex in the Sleeping With Other People trailer.

Channing Tatum’s Abs Are Everywhere (But We’re Not Complaining)

channing-tatum-abs

–Channing Tatum‘s abs are all over the magazine stand this week. The People cover is slightly more restrained than EW’s (which made me lots of friends on the subway last night), but it’s still pretty ab-tastic.

-I’m going to see Magic Mike XXL tonight (holla!). Here’s Channing Tatum and Jimmy Fallon performing scenes written by elementary school kids who were only given the title of the movie.

–Will Arnett is single again and spends every night crying himself to sleep knowing that he let precious unicorn Amy Poehler go (I might be making assumptions about that last part…)

–Harris Wittels‘ sister wrote a piece for HuffPo on her late brother and dear god it’s a heart blender.

–Kanye West and Kim Kardashian continue to bend the universe to their will.

-Want to see Aaron Taylor-Johnson‘s butt? Flaunt magazine has your back (and his).

-Don’t worry, Lisa Lampanelli. I would probably cry if I saw Alexis Bledel at a Bed Bath & Beyond, too.

-Happy birthday, Mindy Kaling! Here are 11 times you said something awesome.

-Sadness: Bobbi Kristina Brown has been moved to hospice care as her condition continues to deteriorate.

–Vanessa Hudgens thinks her understudy ruined the final night of her Broadway show, calling it “one of the most awkward moments of my entire life.” Clearly, she’s repressed Spring Breakers.

–Amanda Peet says Game of Thrones isn’t misogynistic, and she would know, since she’s married to one of its showrunners. Um, ok?

-If there’s anything better than seeing Game of Thrones’ Gwendoline Christie towering over tiny actresses, I haven’t seen it.

-I didn’t love Dave Eggers‘ The Circle, but I’ve got nothing but love at the news that Emma Watson and Tom Hanks will star in the adaptation.

–Chris Martin and Kylie Minogue were spotted looking cozy together in London. They’ve been friends for ages, but they make so much more sense than him and JLaw, no?

-God bless Chris Rock for calling out Terrence Howard’s violent past…in front of Terrence Howard.

–Leonardo DiCaprio just invested in a mattress company.

–Rick Ross has been arrested on assault and kidnapping charges because of course. He’s been denied bail and is currently being held in Fayette County Jail.

-There are rumours that Ben Affleck just landed a deal to direct his own solo Batman movie. Wouldn’t it just be cheaper to film himself jerking off?

-A new Arrow blooper reel? Gimme!

-Speaking of Arrow, The CW just announced that all of their shows won’t return until October. Stop trying to make me get a life, CW!

-FNL & Parenthood creator Jason Katims got yet another TV deal? He’s pretty much going to be responsible for all of TV soon…which doesn’t sound so bad, actually.

-Meanwhile, here’s another great article on the need for more women behind the scenes on TV.

–Seth Meyers and his soundalike/lookalike (though slightly more attractive) brother went day-drinking in Brooklyn, making me want to be friends with Seth Meyers and his brother.

Channing Tatum On That One Time He Scaled His Penis On Set

-Just in case you need some nightmare fuel: Channing Tatum talked about his “shriveled burnt penis” on Howard Stern‘s show today. He also discussed his past as a stripper and the possibility of being in the Ghostbusters movie.

-Starting to wonder why People is not only avoiding the Ben Affleck/Jennfer Garner breakup rumours, but they’ve basically become the couple’s loudest defender over the last few weeks? Here’s a probable theory: they’re angling for inside scoop when the inevitable finally happens.

–Jaden Smith says he wore his Batman suit to Kim and Kanye’s wedding because he “felt the need to protect everyone there” which is totally normal and in no way worrying and let’s just keep our heads down and back away slowly…

-Last night on The Bachelorette, she had sex before the show dictated when she was supposed to have sex and the internet exploded in a slut shaming spiral of suck.

–Aziz Ansari‘s promo tour for Modern Love (which I can’t wait to read) is in full swing. Here’s his best AMA answers.

-Hey girl, Ryan Gosling cares about your eggs.

–Seth MacFarlane crushed his Liam Neeson impression on Fallon. His Ray Romano could use some work, though.

-Of course the worst people on the internet are angry about John Oliver‘s online harassment segment. Of course they are.

-This article examines the unintentional hilarity of the bar scene in True Detective’s season premiere. If I had to pick a scene to mock, it would have been that final close up of the actors faces before the camera panned to a ridiculous helicopter shot, but the bar is a close second.

-More bad news for Tidal: The CEO of Jay Z’s music streaming service has been let go after less than 3 months on the job.

-Goddammit Lady Gaga, enough of that.

-Following BFF Taylor Swift‘s fight with Apple, Jamie King took a similar stance and spoke out against online TV streaming sites for not paying cast and
crew royalties. Um, not the same thing. Not that they shouldn’t get residuals from Hulu/Netflix just like they do from DVD sales, but it’s apple and oranges.

–Britney Spears just split from that guy that none of use really remembered she was dating.

-Today brought a couple of really good articles on the current state of HBO (or should it be called HB-Bro?)

-Here’s the cast of the new Independence Day movie. I think the fact that I’m most excited about Sela Ward and Brent Spiner means I’m both old AND a geek, so that’s something.

-Marvel announced that 19-year-old Tom Holland has officially been cast as the new Peter Parker/Spider-Man. I’m sure the kid is great but ain’t nobody got time for the 265th Spider-Man origin story.

–Kanye West just admitted that he was wrong about something. I have chills.

-This first promo for Netflix’s Wet Hot American Summer reboot will cast a level five charm spell on you!
