Here’s the First Footage From The X-Files Reboot

-I recorded an entire episode of stupid Wayward Pines last night just so I could catch 15-seconds of new X-Files footage. Totally worth it. For reals, I’ve had a perm-smile since hearing the last 6 notes of that trailer.

–Minka Kelly says she’s not dating Sean Penn, so we can all roll up our HIMYM-style intervention banners.

-I’m having a Joseph Gordon-Levitt-heavy week, which is always a good thing. I’ve been trying to catch up on podcasts and finally got to his latest Nerdist one. This is the first time I’ve ever heard him talk about keeping his new wife out of the spotlight (he talks about trying to strike a balance between private vs public because she wants no part of that life, and that walking a red carpet with him at a premiere would “mortify” her). Then, it was announced that he’s going to be on The Mindy Project. Also, he’s turned on by moms.

-Meet the Wet Hot American Summer counselors in this new orientation video from Netflix.

-Watch Bill Hader and Jimmy Fallon spit food at each other in this random Tonight Show sketch.

–Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart have officially been inducted into Taylor Swift’s squad.

-Meanwhile, Taylor Swift had a rough night last night.

–John Travolta went on a “Palm Springs getaway” with some dude, which is a totally normal thing for a married man to do.

-Shake your dad bod: Wilco just dropped a surprise new album.

-Also, Orange Is the New Black’s Big Boo has a jazz album of David Bowie covers? Want!

–Miley Cyrus and Stella Maxwell went all Lady and the Tramp on a churro.

–Cara Delevingne is shaking off Vogue’s recent suggestion that having a girlfriend is merely a passing trend, saying “My sexuality is not a phase. I am who I am.”

–Elisabeth Moss is maybe, possibly losing her mind just a bit in the trippy Queen of Earth trailer.

-I love that Paul Rudd is continuing his clip tease tradition with Conan.

-Also, here’s more proof that Paul keeps a portrait of an old man in his attic.

-Here’s the first trailer for Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s The Revenant, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy. It’s hard to tell what it’s about from this clip, but damn if it isn’t the prettiest thing I’ve seen in a while. They’ve already got a lock on the cinematography hardware.

Tatiana Maslany Finally Scores an Emmy Nom

-This morning’s Emmy nominations were frustrating, but not nearly as frustrating as usual. There were some great surprises (Tatiana Maslany, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Better Call Saul, Transparent, Tituss Burgess), and despite some terrible snubs (Jane the Virgin, The Americans), there were also some very welcome snubs, including no Julianna Margulies and no Big Bang Theory. (Now if we could just all collectively agree to let go of Modern Family, House of Cards and Downton Abbey…).

-Check out the collection of amazingly talented women in the lead comedy actress and lead limited series actress categories, all past their “Last F*ckable Day.”

–Nicole Kidman‘s terrible TV movie Grace of Monaco was nominated for an Emmy, and the Internet reacted accordingly.

-Also, Tatiana Maslany and Amy Schumer‘s tweet exchange was v. cute.

–Amy‘s appearance on The Tonight Show was hilarious, whether she was talking about harassing Bradley Cooper, prank-texting Katie Couric about anal sex, and having an emotional conversation with Jimmy Fallon.

-Sienna Miller and Tom Sturridge, who we all forgot were engaged, have ended said engagement.

–Hayley Atwell posted another amazing DubSmash with Chris Evans, and it’s even better than the last. I’m dying.

-This interview with the cast of Bob’s Burgers was my favourite of all of the ones that came out of Comic-Con.

-I didn’t watch the ESPY Awards (’cause sports scare me), but Joel McHale’s opening monologue was gold.

–Ben Affleck wore his ring at the ESPYs. Because of his kids, of course.

-Good on Emma Stone for not shying away from talking about Aloha’s whitewashing.

-Clear eyes, full heart? Not so much. Peter Berg slammed Caitlyn Jenner’s ESPYs Award, reminding me why I always end up hugging my FNL DVDs and sobbing whenever I read about this guy….

-EW just released the first X-Men: Apocalypse photos, and Twitter is NOT into it.

-It looks like Amber Heard is taking the fall for Johnny Depp‘s doggate. She’s been charged with smuggling.

–George Clooney may be selling his Italian and Mexican getaways, but don’t feel too bad for him. He’s buying a private island near London.

-I love that Ezra Miller, who’ll play The Flash on film, is so full of praise for the TV show  (“I’m not avoiding it at all. I think it’s awesome”) but man, I don’t think I’ve ever made it through a whole interview with him without wanting to punch him and/or call a crisis hotline on his behalf.

–Tom Hardy and Tom Hardy play real-life twin gangsters in this new Legend trailer.

-Speaking of trailers, I really want to like Pan because Hugh Jackman and Greg Berlanti seem like the nicest dudes in Hollywood, but I’m not sold yet.

Amy Schumer Covers GQ’s Comedy Issue

amy-schumer-gq-cover

-Is it ok for me to hate Amy Schumer’s GQ cover? Because I know she’s trying to make some sort of feminist statement with it but…I hate it.

-I assumed the cast of Agents of Shield had won the DubSmash wars with this epicness, but then Agent Carter’ Hayley Atwell made this Chris Evans-assisted one. Mic. Drop.

-One Directioner Louis Tomlinson might be a dad, and his fans are NOT handling it well.

–Rachel McAdams addressed those rumours that she’s dating Taylor Kitsch — by not really confirming or denying anything.  That’s practically a marriage proposal in Hollywood, right?

-Awesome: Kanye West will close Toronto’s Pan Am Games. Not awesome: everyone in this city is being a whiny bitch about it.

-This weird, one-legged red outfit might be the first thing Amal Clooney has worn that I absolutely hate. ‘Bout time!

–Jennifer Lawrence knows her tattoo is messed up and dumb, but at least she’s owning it.

-Meanwhile, here’s JLaw in the first trailer for David O. Russell’s Joy. I like the idea that she will only work with Bradley Cooper  from here on out. I just wish their movies were good. Or that she wasn’t always aged up so much.

-Human tire fire Jesse Eisenberg is trying to walk back his comments likening genocide with interacting with fans and being paid millions of dollars to play make believe.

-I didn’t watch Hollywood Game Night last night, but the tweets rolling in about Katharine McPhee‘s trainwreck of an appearance made me wish I had.

-Yuck. Zoe Kravitz says she was shut out of an audition for The Dark Knight Rises “because they weren’t ‘going urban.'”

-Following his recent DUI arrest, John Stamos has checked himself into rehab.

-In case you weren’t sure, Bill Cosby is done. President Obama all but called him a rapist. DONE. Like, seared and roasted and chargrilled and then put into a rocket and launched into the sun.

-Meanwhile, Judd Apatow explained why he was one of the first celebs to go after Cosby: he knows one of the victims.

–Martha Stewart interviewed Justin Bieber for Interview Mag. Let’s hope she didn’t also take the accompanying photos.

-Say what you will about Tom Cruise (and I certainly will) but this featurette on his stunts for Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation is pretty damn impressive.

-At what point are we allowed to be officially worried about Jimmy Fallon?

-Meanwhile, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler reunited on Fallon’s show last night to play True Confessions and promote their movie.

-Here’s the new trailer for Tina and Amy‘s new movie, Sisters. I. AM. SO. IN.
