-At what point do you think Beyonce calls Tiffany Haddish to demand that she stop speaking about her in interviews? Despite seemingly being warned that she’d have to sign an NDA to keep partying with Queen Bey, Haddish is at it again in her new GQ profile, in which she reveals that she once saw an unnamed actress bite Beyonce in the face. (The entire profile is worth your time, as is anything written by Caity Weaver). Also, her video on dating advice is perfect. (“One of the first red flags for me on a date — and it should be for every woman — is dirty nails. Dirty nails, dirty dick.”)

-Meanwhile, #WhoBitBeyonce is now trending on Twitter. Actress Sanaa Lathan had to deny that she is not the person who bit Beyonce after people kept tweeting bee emojis at her. Sara Foster has also had to deny it. Life sure comes at you fast…

–Will Smith celebrated his 100th Instagram post by taking salsa dance lessons from Marc Anthony, and it was adorable.

–Tom Cruise‘s Mission Impossible stunts just keep getting more and more insane. At this point, they should just rename the sequels “This Might Be The One Where He Dies IRL”

-Stranger Things 3 will be set in 1985 and have lots more of “Dad Steve,” which I am totally here for.

-I keep being surprised by every new glowing review of the Roseanne reboot.

–Clark Gregg will reprise his role as Agent Colson in the Captain Marvel movie.

-I don’t watch One Day at a Time, but my entire Twitter feed is celebrating its renewal on Netflix. They also renewed Queer Eye, which means I’m totally going to cry some more.

-Here’s Lena Dunham looking cozy with a new guy. Good for her.

-Lots of celebs showed up at March for Our Lives rallies this weekend, including George Clooney, Paul McCartney, Reese Witherspoon, Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Amell, Kim Kardashian, Padma Lakshmi, and Julianne Moore.

–Margot Robbie, Simon Pegg, and Mike Myers star in the Terminal trailer.

Kim Cattrall Supports Cynthia Nixon

-She may be feuding with Sarah Jessica Parker, but Kim Cattrall still has (kind of?) nice words for at least one of her former SATC costars. She tweeted her support for Cynthia Nixon’s New York Governor bid. It wasn’t the most glowing endorsement, but still…

-The Shia Labeouf comeback tour is upon us. There’s a new biopic starring Lucas Hedges as Labeouf (because white dudes in Hollywood get countless chances for redemption), and now there’s a new Esquire profile, which mentions he turned down offers to appear in The Social Network, 127 Hours, and The Bourne Legacy.

–Chris Evans is plotting is post-Captain America career.

–Drew Barrymore wants you to know that she didn’t actually mean to insult Jake Gyllenhaal‘s acting skills.

I really hope this tweet is Gillian Anderson’s response to the news that they plan to continue The X Files without her. Or the reaction to the season finale which I haven’t watch yet, but according to the outrage on Twitter, did her character dirty. Whatever it’s about, it’s expert shade.

-In advance of this weekend’s march, George Clooney penned a letter to Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school students, telling them “You make me proud of my country again.” Bill Murray also expressed his support in an NBC News op-ed.

-Terrible: a firefighter died on the set of an Edward Norton-directed movie.

-According to a new lawsuit filed against Russell Simmons, a woman claims she met him when he invited her and her son backstage at a DefJam concert and then he trapped her in a hotel room and told her “I am going to f**k you or I’m going to f**k your son.”

-The Cannes red carpet is full of weird rules (like women have to wear heels) and they just added another one: no selfies.

–Will Smith and Jimmy Fallon performed the history of sitcom theme songs.

–Rosario Dawson stars in the Krystal trailer, directed by William H Macy.

-Andrew Garfield might be losing his mind in the trailer for Under The Silver Lake.

The X Files May Continue without Gillian Anderson

-Of course Chris Carter plans to do more X Files without Gillian Anderson. Of course he does. JFC.

-Love is dead. Jenny Slate and Chris Evans have broken up again, according to his new NYT profile.

–Matt Damon joked about Ben Affleck‘s ridiculous (and totally real) back tat: “I support him in all of his artistic expression.”

–Jennifer Garner channeled her inner band geek to wish Reese Witherspoon a happy birthday, and it was pretty impressive.

-I love that Hollywood is casting Tessa Thompson in everything these days. She just signed on to join Chris Hemsworth in the Men in Black sequel, which is pretty much the only thing that would convince me to watch a Men in Black sequel.

-Oh dear lawd. Cate Blanchett said that social media is “not the judge and jury” when it comes to Woody Allen.  We just want to enjoy Ocean’s 8 in peace, Cate.

-Well, at least Cate is urging for help in preparing Rohingya refugees for oncoming monsoon rains.

-The Weinstein Co. has lifted their NDAs, which means we might be hearing a lot more stories soon.

–Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys were totally flirty and adorable on Colbert. I heart them.

-Yikes, this is not a good look for SNL’s Michael Che.

–Taylor Kitsch‘s Instagram caption game is second to none.

-This fan theory that Lea Michelle is illiterate is totally ridiculous, yet I’ve seen it all over Twitter today.

-How awesome is it that Lena Waithe just landed a Vanity Fair cover?!

-Bill Hader’s new HBO show Barry, which debuts Sunday, is getting pretty good reviews.

-I really liked this article from a movie critic who slammed I Kill Giants on Twitter as soon as he saw it, and the first response was from the director himself. A good lesson about well-argued criticism vs a “hit-and-run pan on social media.” (Personally, I adored that film at TIFF and can’t wait until it’s released.)

-This is an interesting look at how the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’s cinematographers hide the present when making a period piece.

-Despite rumours of reshoots, Deadpool 2 screenings reportedly got near-perfect ratings, scoring even higher than the original. Here’s the new trailer:
