–Nicole Kidman covers the new issue of Vogue, but it’s her 73 Questions video shot at her farm that’s the most interesting part. Her American accent is TERRIBLE, but she pulls off a good Tweety Bird.
-As much as I still hate Amy Schumer‘s GQ cover photo, the interview itself is great. She talks about her plans to campaign for Hilary Clinton, why many female comics seem to end up alone, how Chris Rock helped her, and why she’s anticipating the inevitable backlash. “I truly feel I’m getting a lot of attention right now and it’s just a ticking time bomb.

-The lines are already being drawn in the sand in the Miranda Lambert/Blake Shelton split. His PR team has come out swinging, making sure there are lots of stories out there about how the divorce is not his fault.
