Allison Williams shows off her abs (and spray tan) in the pages of the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar, in which she shares her unusual use for Spanx (’cause god forbid, she uses them like normal human beings trying to suck in their rolls).

-Meanwhile, Girls (and Hannah’s dance moves) return with this new promo.

-We’ve been talking about Jimmy Fallon‘s antics all summer; now everyone else is, too.

-In case you missed Leah Remini’s 20/20 interview about Scientology, here’s her biggest revelations. She also recalled a moment with Tom Cruise’s adopted children, in which they talked about never again wanted to speak to Nicole Kidman because she’s a “supressive person.”

-During last night’s Walking Dead, AMC debuted the trailers for Into the Badlands (meh) and Preacher (produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg).

-Speaking of TWD, it trolled its fans HARD last night by leaving out an actor’s name from the credits, and completely skipped over the only cliffhanger everyone cares about right now. (The sad thing is, critics actually loved last night’s ep — it was just poorly timed.)

-Speaking of TV Aziz Anzari’s new Netflix show is getting rave reviews from every critic I follow. It debuts Friday.

Kate Winslet has banned social media in her house because she doesn’t want it to harm her daughters’ self-esteem.

-Shocking: Harrison Ford lost a bet and was a “bit of a dick” about it.

Sandra Bullock should just hire the person who wrote this article to cast her Ocean’s Eleven reboot. I love all of these suggestions!

-I listened to Sufjan Stevens cover of Drake’s ‘Hotline Bling’ a lot today. A. LOT.

Nicki Minaj might have been making fun of a disabled person in this deleted video.

-Everyone was so excited this morning when news broke that a new Star Trek is being planned. Then came news it was being produced by Kurtzman and Orci. And then came news that it’ll only be available on CBS’ on demand service. Way to poop the party, CBS.

-There were some really, really good celebrity Halloween costumes this year (Heidi Klum!) and some really, really bad ones (really, Katie Cassidy?)

-Vulture compiled a great list of 100 women directors Hollywood should hire. So much talent here!

-I didn’t watch Project Greenlight because I have very little patience with Hollywood’s attitude about directors being auteurs and screenwriters being annoying hacks (which seemed to be a huge problem this season), but I’m glad that it’s turned Effie Brown into even more of a star. I love how honest she’s being about what when down behind the scenes. This interview — in which she talks about being a black woman in Hollywood, fake liberals, and gaslighting — is incredible.

-So, Crazy Ex Girlfriend is toast, right? Getting no DVR lift is deadly, even on a ratings relaxed net like CW.

-I love that Beyonce was so wonderful to this girl with terminal cancer and she did it all on the DL without fuss or publicity.

Amy Schumer and Jennifer Lawrence’s screenplay is coming together and it’s “funny, dirty, real.”

-I really liked this article about how Twitter blerds are transforming TV. My enjoyment of a show skyrockets as soon as @BlackGirlNerds  live-tweets it.

-Welp. A TV critic leaked a review copy of this week’s Arrow episode featuring Constantine. This is why we can’t have nice things!

-Supergirl’s Melissa Benoist was interviewed while surrounded by puppies in costume, and it was all kinds of adorable.

-Here’s the first trailer for Charlie Kaufman’s Anomalisa, which everyone fell in love with at TIFF this year.

Kerry Washington, Taraji P. Henson and Mary J. Blige’s Awesome Apple Ad

-The Emmys were great, but Apple was the night’s biggest winner for tapping Kerry WashingtonTaraji P. Henson, and Mary J. Blige for this excellent Apple Music commercial, directed by Ava DuVernay.

-Kerry also wore one of my favourite dresses of the night, as did Alison Janney. My least favourite dress was Tracee Ellis-Ross‘.

Amy Schumer says Jennifer Lawrence texted her after her Emmys win. “She said that I looked pretty but not smart.” Ha!

-In his (well deserved) acceptance speech last night, Jon Hamm thanked ex-girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt and their dog Cora. The other people he mentioned were mostly school parents at John Burroughs in St. Louis who took him in after his mom died of colon cancer when he was 10.

-Another emotional moment was Tracy Morgan’s triumphant return.

-The red carpet questions that came in last night for Amy Poehler‘s Smart Girls #AskHerMore campaign were great.

-Orphan Black’s Tatiana Maslany and Kristian Bruun are on this week’s Comedy Bang Bang podcast (the CBB team wrote most of Samberg‘s jokes last night, which is largely why the Emmys didn’t suck this year).

-Yes, Tatiana Maslany lost last night, but it was hard to feel bad about Viola Davis‘ epic, historic win. She’s the first black woman to win Best Actress in a Drama, and her speech was amazing. (Her statements were punctuated by the Game Of Thrones’ creators, who thanked HBO for giving them breaks despite their total lack of experience.)

-Of course, Viola‘s win was immediately met with controversy after some soap star starting shooting her mouth off about how Davis has never been discriminated against and how her speech was too dramatic. Ugh.

-Speaking of actors who’ve imploded on Twitter, Stephen Amell has finally (FINALLY!) apologized. He posted a mea culpa in response to a fan who sent him an excellent video about why his comments hurt her. My only wish is that he’d shared his comment to his main Facebook page instead of just replying to her video post (where most of his fans will never see it), but at least he’s redeemed himself a bit.

-This is probably a really good time to link to Jay Smooth’s excellent video on how to process celebrities and bigotry.

-Speaking of diversity in Hollywood, I really liked this interview with Fresh Off the Boat’s Constance Wu in GQ. “I was talking to a friend the other day about HBO’s Togetherness. I was like, ‘It’s a show about white people.’ And he said ‘Oh, come on, they’re just people.’ But if somebody says my show is about Asian American people, nobody bats an eye.”

Amy Poehler and Elizabeth Banks just landed new sitcom deals.

-Every review I’ve read for season 2 of Gotham (which returns tonight) says the show has finally found its focus — but no one really seems to like what that focus is.

-Also, Gotham costars Morena Baccarin and Ben McKenzie are apparently dating. Way to go, Ryan Atwood!

Allison Williams got married this weekend — and Tom Hanks officiated it!

Orlando Bloom and Kendall Jenner may be “secretly dating”? He’s 38 and Kendall is 19, which explains the “secret” part. Wasn’t he once linked with Selena Gomez? What’s wrong with this guy? Is he allergic to appropriateness?

-The new Chvches album AND Ryan Adams‘ cover of Taylor Swift‘s 1989 are both streaming online today. Nobody talk to me for the next 19 hours, kthxbai.

-How have I never seen this Kleenex commercial of Tom Hardy crying while cradling a puppy? HOW???!?

-This 400 Days trailer is stacked with a lot of TV people I adore.

 

 

Are Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy On The Rocks?

-It’s not a good sign when even People magazine is predicting the end of Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy‘s relationship. Is she leaking these hints so she doesn’t have to explain his absence on Sunday night?

-Meanwhile, Kate incorporated her sons into her latest Ann Taylor campaign. It’ll be interesting to see where she stands on the whole pedorazzi issue after this.

-That 81-year-old tycoon is carrying on his annual tradition of paying a female celebrity to attend the Vienna Opera Ball with him, and this year he chose Kim Kardashian — who brought her baby.

Lea Michele released a song about her last conversation with Cory Monteith, just in case you were feeling too happy today.

-Sacrebleu! Kate Moss is baring her butt on the cover of a French magazine.

-Ugh. Tone it down, little girl from Modern Family.

Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore sang a song about their fictional love on the Tonight Show. Not going lie: that last line made me smile.

Adam Driver’s involvement might actually tempt me to go see the new Star Wars film. Lena Dunham is already tweeting her support — and then wondering if she spoke too soon.

-In other news involving the Girls cast, Allison Williams got engaged to the guy who created CollegeHumor.

Anna Kendrick has arrived in LA for this weekend’s Oscars.

-I love that Donald Faison will perform his “Poison” routine  on command. Sigh. I miss Scrubs.

-Judging by these cow costars, I’m guessing Robert Pattinson is no longer shooting his movie in downtown Toronto.  (The cows have already spawned a meme, of course.)

Veronica Mars movie spoilers are starting to trickle out.

Sarah Jessica Parker isn’t a fan of the “objectionable and cruel” language women use towards each other on TV.

Scandal is back tonight! I’m weirdly excited to see Kerry Washington‘s maternity coats.

Seth Rogen testified before Congress about his mother-in-law’s struggle with Alzheimer’s and it was both moving and hilarious.

-He then tweet-shamed senators for skipping his speech.

Liam Neeson is using another press tour to advocate keeping horse-drawn carriages in New York, which I guess is better than talking about his silly-looking new movie.

-Wait, wait, wait: Lupita Nyong’o  is in that movie?!?

-A bunch of new Divergent photos have landed.

-Speaking of new movie photos, here’s our first look at Sin City 2 featuring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jessica Alba, and Mickey Rourke.

-This is pretty boss: thanks to a generous back-end deal, Sandra Bullock is set to make at least $70 million from Gravity.

-I love this infographic showing every dress worn by Best Actress winners at the Oscars since 1929.

Leah Remini won’t stop talking about her decision to leave Scientology, because she’s awesome.

-Strange: Vin Diesel posted a video of himself and (possibly) Paul Walker playing World of Warcraft.

Amy Poehler and Michelle Obama’s newfound friendship continues. The First Lady will appear on Parks and Recreation’s season finale. Leslie Knope is gonna flip.

-HBO’s The Normal Heart, starring Taylor Kitsch as a gay man living with AIDS in the 80s, will premiere May 25.

-I’m guessing Justin Bieber loves this new Rolling Stone cover, no matter how negative the article is.

-Judging by these new photos, you’re probably gonna want to set your DVR for Jimmy Kimmel‘s post-Oscar special.

-Frozen’s Josh Gad and Jonathan Groff sang a cute song about what it took to create the film. Watch a preview here.

-Here’s the international trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
