–Gwyneth Paltrow on being named The Most Hated Celebrity: “I was like, ‘I’m the most hated celebrity? More than, like, Chris Brown?’ What did I do?” She makes a valid point.

–Scarlett Johansson is officially the highest-grossing actress in Hollywood history. I wouldn’t have guessed that, but good on her.

–Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston couldn’t stop posing touching each other on their Roman holiday.

–Rihanna and Drake: still doin’ it.

–John Mayer announced on national TV that he wants to date, saying he’s “more mature than I’ve ever been” and is “excited for a meet-cute.” Those two things don’t seem to go together.

Game of Thrones Is Ending Sooner Than You Think

Sophie-Turner-InStyle-UK-July-2016

-Speaking of Game of Thrones, the creators say there is only 15 episodes left — at most. Hmm, I wonder if HBO knows that?

–Tyrese Gibson will return for Transformers 5 — because he begged for it on social media.

-The Daily Show’s abortion tweet was bad. Their apology was worse.
