Adele Pranks Jamba Juice Employees

–Adele was adorable on Ellen, talking about how she cried all day after the Grammys and then participating in an epic Jamba Juice prank. I love how fully she commits to this!

-I don’t know why W Magazine asked a bunch of stars to read Hannibal Lecter monologues, but I’ll take it.

-This is depressing: both Gwyneth Paltrow and Mandy Moore saw their stalkers acquitted this week.

–Kate Hudson on raising two boys: ‘You love them and then you can’t stand them sometimes.’ Sounds about right.

-I love that every actor who gets killed off The Walking Dead tries really hard to pitch the writers a different storyline.

–Andy Daly‘s Review is ending after the next (abbreviated) season. I give this news half a star.

-There was chatter on Twitter last night that Sandra Oh might be coming back to Grey’s Anatomy again fulltime, but I haven’t seen any confirmation. She wouldn’t, would she?!

–Casey Wilson says a wealthy investor has offered to fund a Happy Endings movie. Do it. I don’t care if they all have to dress up as mascots and eat Subway sandwiches during the entire thing. It’d be worth it.

–Ryan Reynolds once accidentally jumped into a dead horse while trying to pee. Happens to the best of us…

-Also, I want Ryan Reynolds to do all of Katie Holmes’ press for her from now on. He’s clearly better at it.

–Jennifer Lopez ate In-N-Out and evaluated Matt Damon‘s beard in the latest edition of Jimmy Fallon’s teen girl talk show ‘Ew!’

–JLo also played Password with Fallon and Khloe Kardashian. Turns out she’s really, really bad at it.

–Will Ferrell really, really wants a Pretty Woman sequel.

-I’ll just be over here listening to FKA twigs’ new song on repeat forever, k?

–J.K. Rowling continues to give free master classes on how to shut down Twitter trolls.

–Prince’s passport photo is the best passport photo to ever exist. All other passport photos should just quit.

–Joe Morton says he’s fallen asleep while shooting scenes on Scandal. What a coincidence. I’ve fallen asleep while watching scenes on Scandal.

-The new Orphan Black trailer is here to make you dance.

-Speaking of TV trailers, here’s a new one for The Path starring Aaron Paul and Hugh Dancy. How do we get Hulu in Canada?! Cause I need this in my eye grapes!

Sia Does Carpool Karaoke with James Corden

–James Corden took Sia on a ride in the latest segment of Carpool Karaoke. (Was I the only one hoping for some old school Zero 7 songs?) Of note: she explained her refusal to show her face is tied to her past as an addict.

-Alleged audio from Kanye West’s backstage meltdown at SNL has leaked and it’s not good. Tidbits include: “They took my fuckin’ stage off of SNL, without asking me. Now I’m bummed. That and Taylor Swift, fake ass. Now I ain’t gon’ do this.”

–Gwen Stefani admits that her new song is about Blake Shelton. Really? ‘Cause you guys were doing such a bang up job keeping it on the DL ’till now.

–Rihanna said she had to bail from her scheduled Grammy performance because she came down with bronchitis – –but did she really?

-Speaking of the Grammys, you can see an upset Taylor Swift mouth the words “I missed that note. Did you hear it?” in this clip.

–Justin Bieber tries to cover up his Selena Gomez tattoo. This month.

–Channing Tatum, what a jerk.

–Henry Cavill insists that his 19-year-old girlfriend is really mature for her age and that they have plenty to talk about.–Vanessa Hudgens and her boyfriend are under investigation — for carving their names and a heart into a rock. Wait, is lameness illegal now? I’m in supes troubs.

-The first image from Guardians of the Galaxy shows teeny tiny baby Groot!

-Does anyone else get weirdly nervous when Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner spend lots of time together?

-Whoa. The head of ABC was just unceremoniously dumped. Apparently, Disney wants the network to focus on less Shonda-ish shows and more “CBS-style procedural crime series like NCIS.” Ruh roh. On the plus side, he  replaced by the sister of the girl who played Francie on Alias! (I once overheard someone in an elevator say “Francie doesn’t like coffee ice cream” and it took everything in me not to throw myself at her and cling like a leech…)

–Nina Dobrev might have moved on from Austin Stowell to, um, Chace Crawford. Yeah, what you’re thinking right now is what I’m thinking too..

–Adele let her son dress up like Elsa from Frozen when they went to Disneyland because she’s wonderful.

-This is so fun: you know all of those photos floating around today of Kate Middleton learning how to blog? That’s my friend’s hubby showing her the ropes!

-Everyone assumed the New Yorker story we’d all be talking about this week would be the one about TMZ, but it’s actually the heartbreaking article on how NYPD Blue and Deadwood creator David Milch gambled away his $100 million fortune. Sad, sad stuff.

-Britney Spears told her Vegas audience that she’s looking for “a hot nerd, like, a really hot guy, with a really big penis.” Gurl. Don’t say stuff like that out loud. Also:
-I kinda feel bad for EW. They finally decide to give The 100 some love with a huge print spread, and it comes on the heels of its first shark jumpy ep.

-HBO’s Vinyl tanked in ratings. Gee, it’s almost as if viewers are sick of watching tortured middle-aged guys searching for purpose while mansplaining to every woman they meet. Crazy.

-I’ve given up on Supergirl, but I love that Lexi Alexander is directing the next two eps. She’s my hero on Twitter.

–Meryl Streep is a terrible opera singer ever in this promo for Florence Foster Jenkins.

Sofia Vergara Tried to Dance at the Grammys. It Didn’t Work.

-I watched a wee bit of the Grammys (mostly to cleanse my palette after the shit show that was The X Files), and my absolute fave part was Sofia Vergara‘s total inability to find the rhythm.

-So Beyoncé wore a wedding dress to the Grammys last night. No judgement.

–Adele said “shit happens” about the technical difficulties during her Grammy performance, and then treated herself to In ‘n Out. Marry me.

–Paul McCartney and Beck were denied entrance to a Grammy after-party. This is the first scene of a really funny buddy comedy.

–Jimmy Kimmel had a special Grammys edition of Mean Tweets, featuring Drake, Meaghan Trainor and Ed Sheeran.

-Shocking report: Kanye West reportedly had a meltdown backstage at SNL and almost bailed moments before his performance. He also tweeted about how people tried to “control” him and “use the debt against” him and then something about the cost of textbooks? Seriously dude, just put out your damn album.

-The New Yorker just gave TMZ the TMZ treatment…

-If there’s a better use of time than this “Leo’s Red Carpet Rampage” game, I haven’t found it. I couldn’t even finish the “find the black nominee” round because I was laughing too hard at that point…

-After this weekend’s BAFTAs, everyone’s wondering what’s up with Tom Cruise’s face?

–Kate Winslet killed it at the BAFTAs, explaining backstage why she didn’t just settle “for fat girl parts.”

-Eddie Redmayne told BuzzFeed he hopes his BAFTA comment on trans issues wasn’t misunderstood. No one misunderstood: you were taking credit for something you didn’t do. We got it.

-Oh Deadpool, what hath you wrought? Wolverine 3 is now targeting a R rating.

-Meanwhile, I could Ryan Reynolds watch hijacks Hugh Jackman’s press junkets all day.

-Much love to Princess of the Internet, who let me babble about award show coverage on her site.

-Everyone’s flipping out over the new promo for Daredevil. Yeah, I’m still not going to finish season one.

–Reese Witherspoon has settled her imitation jewelry lawsuit.

–Samantha Bee is killing it with her new show. Her segment about going to Jordan to actually meet Syrian refugees before judging them is extraordinary.

-Paris gets on Idris Elba’s bad side in the trailer for Bastille Day (which should be subtitled ‘Look everyone! He can TOTALLY play Bond!’).
