Embarrassing Celebrity Photos Raise Money For Puerto Rico Relief

-On The Late Show With Stephen Colbert Wednesday night, Colbert and Nick Kroll shared  awkward pictures of themselves with the hashtag #PuberMe, with a call to action for other celebs to follow suit. And now the interwebs is being flooded with mortifying photos of stars as teens. It’s awesome!

-Speaking of Puerto Rico relief, Beyonce is on the Mi Gente remix and is donating all proceeds to the cause.

-I didn’t even know that Idris Elba and Liam Gallagher were feuding over a hat but I’m glad they’ve managed to put it behind them.

-Meanwhile, Idris says he auditioned to play Gaston in Beauty and the Beast. I can’t even being to imagine that…

-Speaking of things I can’t imagine but would still like to see, Elizabeth Banks is directing a Charlie’s Angels reboot and in the running to star are Lupita Nyong’o(!) and Kristen Stewart(!!).

–Jake Gyllenhaal admits he’s all for being set up on dates. Get on it, ladies!

–Azealia Banks DM’d an apology to Nicki Minaj — but then posted it which seems like the opposite point of DMs.

–Kim Cattrall says the only “demand” she ever made about Sex And The City 3 was to never do another one.  I love her more and more every day.

–Jim Carrey is alleging extortion and blaming his former girlfriend’s mother and lawyer for her death.

-This week’s The Good Place might have been my favourite half-hour of TV all year. Even better, one of the show’s writers shared all of her pitches for the episode’s restaurant names, and they are hilarious!

–Mulder and Scully are swapping places in the first X-Files Season 11 photos.

-EW hosted a Family Matters reunion.

-Don’t touch Hocus Pocus, Hollywood! Don’t you freakin’ dare!

-Here’s a roundup of all the critics gushing about the new Blade Runner movie. I can’t believe I’m going to have to sit through another 2-1/2 hour film…

–Jimmy Fallon played a weeping sound guy on the set of This Is Us. (“You’re the reason Dad died” made me laugh.)

Julia Louis-Dreyfus Reveals Cancer Diagnosis, Sparks Healthcare Talk

-Damn: Julia Louis-Dreyfus revealed that she’s fighting a breast cancer diagnosis, which she found out about the day after her Emmy win.

–Kate McKinnon is on the cover of the November issue of Vanity Fair, in which she remains admirably tight-lipped about her personal life. I hate hate hate the cover image, but the inside shots are beautiful.

-Disney may have forced ABC to renew Agents of Shield for movie synergy reasons.

-Speaking of ABC’s superhero shows, the reviews of Inhumans are hilariously *brutal*. Variety says “it makes Iron Fist look like Citizen Kane by comparison,” while Sepinwall says “Inhumans is Marvel’s version of “fetch.” Hopefully this awful TV show means they stop trying to make it happen.” The same showrunner also did Iron Fist. How does he get to fail twice, but the Agent Carter showrunners still don’t have a new show lined up?!

–Natalie Morales’ statement about those upshot photos is worth a read.

-It’s THR’s annual Hollywood salary list day! I need to learn how to operate a boom mic…

-Here’s Owen Wilson, Glenn Close, Ed Helms and J.K. Simmons in the new Father Figures trailer.

Stranger Things 2 Gets the EW Cover Treatment

stranger things season 2 entertainment weekly cover

-I keep forgetting that Stranger Things returns in a few weeks. According to the new EW cover story, the new season will follow several disparate stories that intertwine but all roads eventually lead to the “shadow monster.” The Duffer Brothers are also insisting we call it Stranger Things 2 because they think of it as a movie sequel. They know they work in TV now, right?

-This is nice: Pitbull is providing his own private plane to help cancer patients get treatment after Hurricane Maria.

-Scroll down to the end of this article to see some awesome footage of Jane Fonda shutting Megyn Kelly down.

-This seems really beneath Angelina Jolie. Like really, really beneath her. I’m so confused.

-Also, Tom shut down those rumours that he wore a fake butt in Valkyrie.

-I haven’t had a chance to watch the This Is Us premiere yet, but everyone else seemed to. It delivered its biggest ratings ever.

-Holy shit: Michelle Williams is in talks to star in Venom opposite Tom Hardy. That’s… unexpected.

-Also unexpected, the revival of Will & Grace is getting good reviews. Really good reviews.

–Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio are just trolling us at this point, right?

-If Justin Timberlake gets invited to perform at the Super Bowl I will angry-scream into a pillow for days.

–James Cameron is standing by his Wonder Woman comments, saying the character isn’t groundbreaking because “she’s absolutely drop-dead gorgeous.” *groan*
