Hello, It’s Adele on the Cover of Vogue

adele-vogue-cover-march-2016

–Adele looks stunning on Vogue’s March cover. In the interview, she once again gushes about the Spice Girls and explains why she fights so hard for her son to remain unseen by the paps: “I think it’s really hard being a famous person’s child. What if he wants to smoke weed or drink underage, or what if he’s gay and doesn’t want to tell me, and then he’s photographed and that’s how I find out?”

-In his latest long and ridiculous Twitter rant, Kanye West said it was Taylor Swift’s idea to call herself a bitch who he made famous. She is all like “uh, hells no!”

–Diane Kruger joined Joshua Jackson at the opening of his new play and they looked all happy ‘n stuff. And she posted this on her instagram. But minutes earlier she posted this. And a couple of days ago she posted this. Goddamit Kruger, what are you trying to tell us??!?

–Selena Gomez has been friends “for years” with Jennifer Aniston? How? When? How?

-Well, this is total bullshit. Spike TV is ripping off James Corden’s carpool karaoke idea for a new show.

-Wait, now Liam Neeson is trying to walk back the best internet conspiracy of our time? Hard pass.

-Of course Emma Thompson has the most brilliant answer when asked about Oscar’s diversity problem. Why am I even surprised?

–Kerry Washington plays Anita Hill in the new Confirmation trailer.

-There’s nothing I like better than reading TV critic Mo Ryan go after a showrunner *hard* in an interview when they make especially stupid character decisions. She felt exactly like I did after watching the last ep of The 100.
-Congrats to Alanis Morissette, who is pregnant with baby no. 2.

-God bless Gillian Anderson for trying to start an #agingwithoutshame hashtag. When we were watching the last episode, one of my friends commented how much better her breakdown scene was because she hadn’t effed with her face like most actresses her age.

–Alison Brie says she once peed her pants while filming Mad Men. Well, Jon Hamm does have a weird effect on female bodies…

-People magazine asked stars like Rachel McAdams, Kate Winslet and Brie Larson how they’d like to be remembered after they die. Way to kick the weekend off in the darkest way possible, People…

-This ‘shipping article spoke to my soul (and made me want to do an Angel rewatch.)

–OK Go’s zero-gravity music video is very cool, but the amount of pressure these guys must face every time they release a new clip makes me squirmy.

–Tom Hiddleston makes a very sexy spy in this trailer for The Night Manager. Two steamy Tom Hiddleston trailers two days in a row? #blessed

–Melissa McCarthy lets the insults fly in the new trailer for The Boss.

-Oh god. Garry Marshall is doing another one of those let’s-have-a-million-actors-be-in-a-holiday-movie thing. This one is called Mother’s Day and it features Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts and Kate Hudson.

Julianne Moore, Claire Danes, Adam Driver Are the New Royals

julianna-moore-w-cover

-I really like W magazine’s New Royals covers (especially Julianne Moore‘s and Claire Danes‘). Allison Williams‘s doesn’t even look like her, though.

–Stephen Colbert had his first truly great interview on his new show last night when he chatted with Joe Biden on death, faith, and family.

–Beyonce‘s my new hero thanks to her giant wine glass. I really hope she calls it Big Joe.

-This blind riddle is totally about Justin Theroux, right?

-Dammit. That Daily Mail report about Nicole Kidman joining Elisabeth Moss for the second season of Top of the Lake turned out to be false. That would have been killer!

–Alison Brie really doesn’t need any more photos of your junk. Thanks, tho.

-I didn’t watch Under the Dome after the first season because I value my brain cells too much, but the reviews of the finale are HILARIOUS. So angry!

-“You try being 22, having a period and staying away from Google.” Jennifer Lawrence is all about the truth telling.

-I have a fall TV spoiler ban, but I don’t think the new Scandal trailer counts because really, who cares about Scandal?!

-The second half of this article about the rise of slog TV is so good. Nothing makes me feel more exhausted than seeing an ad for the new seasons of The Leftovers or The Affair.

-It’s weird that Shiri Appleby is following up her UnREAL breakout with a show that looks DOA. I guess she should grab that CBS money while she can.

-I didn’t realize Donald Glover was in The Martian until I saw this new clip. That must be why he’s at TIFF. I’ll be seeing him tomorrow night at Jason Reitman’s live read of The Princess Bride (now with Rachel McAdams as Buttercup!). I’ll try to sneak a Periscope or two if you’re interested.

–Natalie Portman premiered her new movie at TIFF yesterday (I love how she cut off all questions about her dress at the pass), and she talked about how Broad City made her insecure about Garden State.

-I don’t know anyone who still watches Grey’s Anatomy, but it’s always good to see Joey Lauren Adams getting work.

–Joss Whedon cut this shirtless Chris Hemsworth scene from Age of Ultron. But whyyyyy???

–Neil Patrick Harris accepted Seth Meyer’ Actathalon Challenge last night. This is kind of impressive!

–Norman Reedus, stop making it so hard to like you.

-The X-Files reboot will have its premiere at New York Comic-Con.

–Jessica Simpson says the show that made her a household name is her biggest financial mistake because logic!

-Here’s the trailer for Michael Moore’s Where to Invade Next, which premiered at TIFF last night and is one of the few films here gaining some heat.

-Here’s the first trailer for Sarah Silverman and Josh Charles’ I Smile Back. Seeing it next week. This one might hurt…

Selena Gomez Sick of Justin Bieber Questions

selena gomez justin beiber

–Selena Gomez is firing back at the Sunday Times for focusing their interview on her quotes about Justin Bieber and not her new album. Ok… but she had to know that if she talked about it, that’s what’s they’d lead with, right? She’s been around long enough to get the game by now.

–Justin Bieber is getting ready to promote his new single, and his reps have reportedly banned him from doing live interviews because they’re terrified of what he’ll say.

-I have to admit, Bieber‘s “Where Are U Now” with Diplo and Skrillex is kind of my song of the summer (what? they play it at the gym!), and this NYT video interview about how it came together is pretty damn great. If you’re into music stories that delve a bit deeper into how the sausage is made, you’ll love this.

-Remember last month when I wondered when we should start worrying about Jimmy Fallon? I think the time might be now. The police are reportedly refusing to release the 911 call made about his hand injury, citing “personal privacy.” His accidents are piling up. Even Variety is writing about it in a way that makes you go “hmmm…”

-Sources from Serena Williams‘ camp insists she’s not dating Drake.

-Why is the Internet so angry with Max Landis for questioning why his American Ultra flopped? I’m questioning it too. I didn’t love the movie, but it was better summer fare than a lot of other stuff I’ve seen recently.

-I see that Mel Gibson is still a shining beacon of civility and good manners.

–Alison Brie and Dave Franco, who’ve been dating since 2012, are engaged. Thank goodness. We needed something like this to restore our faith in Hollywood love this summer.

–Alanis Morissette joined Taylor Swift last night for “You Oughta Know” and it was kind of fantastic. (It helps if you repress the fact that Taylor was only 5 when Jagged Little Pill came out…)

-I didn’t really expect the 13-year-old star of Girl Meets World to school us all on feminism, but what do I know?

-Twist! The lawyer for Serial’s Adnan Syed filed a court motion this morning asserting that the cell phone evidence placing him in Leakin Park was inadmissible.

-I’m in the middle of making my TIFF picks, and I’m pretty damn tempted to use one of my tickets to watch Matthew Weiner do a live commentary on a Mad Men episode…

–Katherine Heigl is reuniting with Grey’s Anatomy producers for an Ally McBeal rip-off. This bodes well.

–Jimmy Kimmel and Bob Odenkirk mocked silly late night talk show games, and it was kinda perfect.

-Female directors Catherine Hardwicke, Shira Piven, Nicole Holofcener and more star in FunnyorDie’s “Why Women Don’t Direct More Action Movies?” I only wish Lexi Alexander was in it…

-Speaking of movie girl power, all the women who work on the new Ghostbusters movie posed for a photo and it was great. This is especially welcome following that story about an aspiring screenwriter was told by an Academy fellowship competition that her script would make a “decent porn.”

-It tanked here, but Terminator Genisys is killing it so hard in China that a sequel is suddenly a very real possibility. As Forbes points out, for “a film to outright flop in America and yet potentially become one of the biggest American exports of all time in China, well, that’s a game changer.”

-I haven’t gotten around to watching any fall TV screeners yet but a recent Twitter convo with some TV critic friends seemed to suggest the only ones worth tuning into are Quantico and The Grinder. Now that The Grinder just lost its showrunner, we may be down to one.

-I wasn’t sure about Benedict Cumberbatch playing Doctor Strange, but this trailer is killing my doubts.
