-I have way too many feelings about those reports of Diane Kruger making out with Norman Reedus. Denials are flying, but any whiff of trouble between Kruger and Joshua Jackson gives me heart palpitations. I saw Kruger and Reedus together at a TIFF party a few months ago and they seemed friendly, but not her-straddling-and-kissing-him-friendly, so I’m just going to keep replaying that in my mind until this goes away…

-The new Star Wars movie needs to make $1.5 billion in order for it to be a success which, according to Steven Spielberg, is currently keeping JJ Abrams up at night.

–Serena Williams’ Sports Illustrated cover is a thing of beauty. The fact that people are legit mad that she was named Sportsperson of the Year over a horse is all kinds of cray.

-The Critics Choice nominations were announced today, and the TV side might be the most flawless bunch of nominations I’ve ever seen. I don’t want to flip a table over any category (and that never happens).

-The girl Justin Bieber was cozying up to looks like a Kardashian, but is not actually a Kardashian.

–Melissa McCarthy seems to be the only one who’s surprised and/or sad that CBS cancelled Mike & Molly.

-This press tour for Joy is really taking it’s toll on Jennifer Lawrence. She just compared Kim Kardashian to Kate Middleton.

-Love Actually’s best plot just got even more depressing. I’m just going to go ahead and repress this.

-You know how Tina Fey once said that someone called her the c-word on the SNL set? Yeah, it was Colin Quinn.

–Kim Kardashian ate her placenta and now wants to tell you about it — but you’ll have to pay for the honour.

-The extended trailer for the new season of The 100 just came out and it’s so, so epic! This show is way better than it has any right to be.

–Leonardo DiCaprio says he almost became shark food while shooting The Revanant.

–Channing Tatum goes full Beyoncé and Joel McHale gets turned on in this Lip Sync Battle season two trailer.

-The international trailer for Captain America: Civil War features more Iron Man footage.

–Will Smith says that Donald Trump may “force” him to run for president. Guys, this might actually turn into a thing.

-The first Independence Day: Resurgence trailer is here, and it’s intense.

Is Ben Affleck’s Giant Back Tattoo Real?

-Wait, that giant phoenix tattoo on Ben Affleck‘s back might actually be legit?!?? Dudebro is making some solid decisions these days. (Also, I love Us Weekly’s now missing quote about how “Jen knows about it but feels like it’s not her problem.”)

–Gwyenth Paltrow wants you to rob her. Go ahead! She’s down.

-The New York Times’ Megan Amram wrote a GOOP Gift Guide AS Gwyneth Paltrow and it’s a thing of beauty.

-Meanwhile, the annual Hater’s Guide to the Williams Sonoma catalogue has arrived! I look forward to this more than xmas morning…

-Ouch. Elizabeth Olsen‘s ex-fiance says she dumped him the day his best friend died.

-I’m kinda over all the Gwen Stefani/Blake Shelton photos, but she looks great in these ones.

–Abigail Breslin is a heckler.

–Blake Lively‘s TBT photo with Jason Priestley has to be seen to be believed.

–Amy Poehler and Jimmy Fallon played Truth or Truth, and when asked about her greatest fear, Amy had the perfect answer: “Being mistaken for JLo. Then being asked to dance. And dancing better than JLo. And JLo being angry.”

–Tina Fey was delightful on The Graham Norton Show, talking about buying her first bra when she was 10.

–Justin Bieber took over James Corden’s monologue. In other news, James’ job is safe as houses.

–Bruce Willis proved to Stephen Colbert that he does his own stunts with a long, extended fight scene.

-In other late night shenanies, Chris Hemsworth raced against Jimmy Fallon in an epic scooter sleigh competition.

–Joel McHale and Danny Pudi are proving to be the nicest friends ever by agreeing to guest star on Ken Jeong‘s terrible new sitcom.

–Patricia Clarkson wants to reprise her Broad City role. Maybe she can join Hilary Clinton, who just announced a guest appearance.

-According to the Hollywood Reporter, Adam Sandler‘s awful Netflix movie has a scene where Steve Buscemi “lubes up the anus of an incontinent burro.” Charming.

-I love me a good roundtable, but nothing could convince me to watch this director’s one.

-Vanity Fair has a great primer for the case the new season of Serial is tackling before you jump into the podcast.

-One of the best things about the new Star Wars movie coming out is that the world is going to find out what a charm bomb John Boyega is.

-Also charming the world on the Star Wars promo tour: Gwendoline Christie.

–Cate Blanchett in talks for the next Thor movie? I don’t want to begrudge her that Marvel money, but why does she have to pick the weakest films in the MCU?

-Ugh, the new X Men trailer. I actually like this franchise (relative to other superhero stuff), but the effects look like garb. It’s also clear that they’re trying to turn Mystique into a major character to cash in on JLaw‘s success which is kinda meh.

Nicki Minaj Gets Political in Billboard

nicki-minaj-billboard

–Nicki Minaj’s Billboard cover story is full of fun tidbits, like how she watches so much Discovery Investigation that Meek Mill is afraid of her, how he still has to give her two more rings before they’re officially engaged, and how she feels about Obama and Hilary Clinton.

-I can’t even bring myself to care about the weird Golden Globes nominations anymore. Trumbo? Rachel Bloom? Ok.

-The Broad City girls had the best reaction to being snubbed by the Golden Globes.

-Read this interview with Amy Poehler and fall in love with her just a little bit more.

–Madonna gave an impromptu concert in Paris Square to honour the victims of the Paris attack.

–Serial is back! Serial is back! I love that the first episode just dropped without anyone knowing it’s coming.

–Shia LaBeouf is asking callers to “touch his soul” with his art collective’s latest project. I don’t think I’d want to touch any part of that guy.

–Will Ferrell screams at strangers in a new Billy on the Street segment.  You know, I never get sick of these.

-The season 3 promo for The 100 is lit!

-Speaking of TV, I’m pleasantly surprised that The Leftovers is getting one more season, even though its the last.

-More Ant-Man bloopers? Yes, please.

–Sam Esmail, the creator of Mr Robot, will direct all 10 episodes of the second season. He writes them, too. The writers’ room is in LA, and they shoot in NY. Is he a … Mr Robot?

-Sadness. The saga of Kristin Cavallari‘s brother just took a tragic turn. He was found dead after being reported missing.

–Geena Davis somehow forgot that George Clooney auditioned for her…five times.

-Um, I kind of don’t hate the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 trailer. What’s happening to me? Is my love of Stephen Amell clouding my judgement? Am I just weirdly susceptible to Run-DMC‘s “It’s Tricky”? Is this cold I can’t seem to shake actually a neurological disease that’s slowing eating away at my frontal lobe? I’m scared, y’all.
