–Ben Affleck became a trending topic today thanks to the new Batman photo that surfaced. I think they were going for “world weary,” but “chunky” seems to be the adjective everyone’s sticking with.

-Meanwhile, this photo is reportedly from security camera footage of Ben Affleck counting cards, which got him tossed from a casino.

–Beyoncé and Jay Z tried to do some damage control by turning on the smiles at a Nets game last night, but speculation about the elevator fight continues to run rampant. One report suggests Solange hit Jay Z after he tried to go to Rihanna’s MET Gala after-party without Bey. Another report claims Solange was provoked by designer Rachel Roy before getting into the elevator.

–Olivia Wilde has waded into the fray for some reason to slam the “trashy, shady” leaked footage.

-Meanwhile, Kelly Rowland’s secret wedding to manager Tim Witherspoon was revealed in what may be the worst timing ever.

-Just in case you thought all this family drama made Jay Z and Beyoncé just like us, they’re considering giving Kimye a yacht for a wedding present.

–Will and Jada Smith need to start forbidding their kids from posting photos of themselves in bed with other people. Today it’s Jaden’s turn.

–Joseph Gordon-Levitt is dating a girl? Huh.

–Angelina Jolie’s makeup malfunction is the latest proof that stars should stay away from translucent  powder before hitting up a carpet.

-Is Shailene Woodley’s foot really that long, or is this some photoshop f*ckery?

–Billy Eichner should always have former contestant Elena on Billy On The Street. I heart her.

–Alec Baldwin was arrested earlier today for riding his bicycle the wrong way — which is kind of hilarious.

–Macaulay Culkin wore a T-shirt of Ryan Gosling wearing a T-shirt of him — which led to someone ‘shopping a photo of Ryan Gosling wearing a T-shirt of Macaulay Culkin wearing a T-shirt of Gosling wearing a T-shirt of Macaulay Culkin. My head hurts.

–Clay Aiken has been declared the winner of the North Carolina congressional primary after his opponent died suddenly. So, that happened.

-Also weird: radio legend Casey Kasem might be being hidden in Canada.

-Happy Endings star Casey Wilson talks about planning her upcoming wedding: “I was going to do a flash-mob dance thing and then I just got a hold of myself.”

–Channing Tatum has just been confirmed for the role of Gambit in future X-Men films — and people are super unhappy about it.

–Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin consciously recoupled for Mother’s Day.

-Meanwhile, Heat magazine has a photo of Chris Martin and Alexa Chung having dinner together.

-As someone who watches Game of Thrones every week and still has no idea what the hell is going on, I really like Grantland’s weekly Ask the Maester column, as well as Vulture’s explainer on how the justice system works in Westoros. (Also, is anyone else completely incapable of hearing the theme song without singing Peter Dinklage’s name?)

-Here’s a new look at Amal Alamuddin’s engagement ring, just in case you needed to be knocked down a couple of notches today.

-A Harry Potter spinoff called Fantastic Beasts is set to hit theatres on Nov. 18.

–Michelle Williams has split from the guy none of us remembered she was dating.

-I kind of love that Hugh Grant and Liz Hurley are still besties.

Solange and Jay Z Fight In Elevator As Beyonce Looks On

-The Jay Z/Solange elevator fight video is burning up the interwebs right now. If you haven’t watched TMZ’s extended version, it’s worth it. Clearly, the security guard pressed the emergency stop button until he could get things under control (either that, or they’re on the longest elevator ride ever.) The prevailing theory is that Solange was either super drunk the night of the MET Gala (though the way she got her shit together as soon as she exited the elevator makes me wonder), or that she was defending Beyonce over something Jay did (which lends credence to some blind items and rumours). The most surprising thing is how Bey appears super stoic during the whole thing — and then turns on the smiles for the paparazzi immediately after. For someone who’s always controlled her image so fiercely, today must suck for her.

-Whatever happened, Solange reportedly deleted all of her pics of Beyonce from her Instagram.

-Speaking of blind items, Jennifer Esposito nearly confirmed some rumours about Bradley Cooper.

–George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin had a star-studded engagement party in Malibu that included a serenade by Bono. So basically, they continue to win at life.

-Meanwhile, Stacy Keibler wants to remind you that she’s alive with a “hey! hey! look over here!” post.

-There’s lots of news coming out of the network upfronts this week. NBC confirmed that they’re bringing back Parenthood and Parks and Rec for shortened, final seasons. They also released trailers for some of their new shows. Marry Me (which feels like a sequel to Happy Endings) and Constantine may have promise. Katherine Heigl‘s State of Affairs looks predictably awful.

-Fox also announced some big moves, including pairing Gotham with Sleepy Hollow, reducing Glee’s final season, and promising that Graceland will have a different ending than Broadchurch.

-Speaking of Broadchurch, David Tennant might be the first guy to jump from an original series to the American remake and back.

–Jane Krakowski is getting back in bed with Tina Fey.

–Dan Harmon currently feels “eh” on whether Community should come back somewhere else. Netflix has already bowed out.

–Scarlett Johansson and her fiancé attended an English wedding — and she didn’t bother to wear a fascinator. #missedopportunity.

–Eminem‘s Mother’s Day message to his estranged mom was all kinds of sweet.

-I like this article about all the politics involved with appearing on the Cannes red carpet.

–Jon Hamm hammed it up while taking selfies with his Don Draper wax figure.

–Jennifer Lawrence almost fell down (again!) while walking the red carpet in a truly terrible dress. (Seriously, is that thing velvet?!)

-Meanwhile, Jennifer says boyfriend Nicholas Hoult is a great roommate.

-Whatever you do, don’t put Anna Wintour and Tim Gunn in a room together.

-Breathe easy, everyone. Chris Brown was sentenced to another 131 days in jail.

-How are they still adding cast members to the 50 Shades movie, which is well into production? Aaron Taylor-Johnson just joined the cast, which seems like a terrible career move.

–Justin Timberlake appeared on last night’s episode of Oprah’s Master Class, where he dropped such bon mots as “When you look at me, you should understand that I am America.”

-Speaking of douche-tastic sound bites, Shia LaBeouf said: “At this point, I have enough money to live 25 lifetimes,” before telling a totally made up story about Jaden Smith. Go home, Shia. You’re drunk.

-THR has started posting Emmy roundtables. First up: showrunners Matthew Weiner, Vince Gilligan and Aaron Sorkin.

-Nice get: Octavia Spencer is joining the cast of Insurgent, the  sequel to Divergent.

–Sherri Shepherd and her estranged husband are expecting a baby via surrogate … and he wants the kid.

-I’m guessing Beyonce was wishing we were still all talking about her weekend photo bomb right now.

–Lea Michele posted a heartbreaking pic of Cory Monteith in honour of his birthday.

-I kind of wish Melissa McCarthy could break free from these types of roles, especially since her hubby wrote this movie.

Rihanna Pushes Instagram’s Limits with Topless Image

–Rihanna got in trouble with Instagram for posting her nipple-exposing cover of French magazine Lui. Who cares about the boobies? What she really needs to be scolded for is that bucket hat.

–Olivia Munn and Joel Kinnaman (my favourite celebrity couple that I kept forgetting existed) have split up.

-Damn. I usually hate giant diamond rings but George Clooney did Amal Alamuddin a solid with this emerald cut 7-carat sparkler.

–Zac Efron opens up about joining AA and that fight on Skid Row in The Hollywood Reporters’ new cover story. Hmmm…

–Ansel Elgort and Shailene Woodley are adorbs on the new EW cover. Practise pronouncing his name; that guy is going to be huge.

-In an upcoming episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers, Jennifer Lawrence reportedly reveals that she was so drunk at the Oscars that she puked on the stairs at Madonna’s after-party and Miley Cyrus chided her. It’s not a good sign when Miley is the sober one…

-Meanwhile, Miley‘s health crisis rages on, forcing her to reschedule another concert. At what point are we allowed to be legitimately concerned?

-Esquire wrote an article about why Anna Kendrick should take over the Late Late Show’s hosting gig, and she retweeted it and then commented on it. Does that mean she’s unofficially throwing her hat in the ring? ‘Cause she’d be awesome at it.

-I really liked this interview with Colin Hanks, especially the part where Method Man approaches him in the middle of it and he gets all flustered. “God, when Method Man says hello to you, everything goes right out the door. Sorry.”

–Patton Oswalt and Billy Eichner play a game called “Does Shakira Know What This Is?,” which is as great as it sounds.

–Andrew Garfield’s SNL promos are super promising and make me wish he’d do improv in the future.

–Matt Bomer is coming to Toronto to premiere HBO’s The Normal Heart here. Time to dig out my stalking shoes…

–Beyoncé sent 90 white roses to the family of one of her biggest fans in Australia, who died of leukemia at 15.

–Naya Rivera‘s rep denied reports that she was fired from Glee over bad behavior and a feud with Lea Michele. Word has it her character is supposed to share a big number with Mercedes and Brittany in the May 13 finale, so we’ll soon see.

–Baz Luhrmann is in talks to do an Elvis biopic, because duh.

–James Franco, maybe this isn’t the best time to admit you made out with an underage Lindsay Lohan. Just sayin’.

-I’m actually really surprised that the 10-year anniversary of Mean Girls was such a big deal today. I mean, I love that movie, but wow. I also agree with this assessment that Lohan wasn’t as amazing in it as everyone lets on.

–Diane Keaton proved on Fallon last night that she has no idea how to play beer pong — and it was adorable.

–DL Hughley’s defense of Columbus Short is so very, very gross.

-When I saw this photo of Zoe Saldana I thought “who is that Jared Leto-meets-Jesus poser she’s with?” Turns out that’s her husband.

–Lupita Nyong’o may not have made the Star Wars cut, but she’s doing ok. She’ll  be presenting at the CFDA Fashion Awards and attending the White House Correspondent’s Dinner. Now if only she could line up her next big role…

-I dig this article on why John Boyega should be the hero of the new Star Wars movie. I also like this one about whether or not a cool actor can survive the franchise with his cred in tact.

-Today, Seattle police released images of a note that Kurt Cobain kept in his wallet calling Courtney Love a “bitch with zits.”

–Selena Gomez‘s camp wants you to know that she’s just friends with Orlando Bloom, ok?!

-Chuck alum Yvonne Strahovsky is taking over your TV set, one show at a time.

–Louis CK swears he didn’t know that Letterman was actually going to retire when he made those episodes about it.

–Vincent Kartheiser says his friends call him Fruity Lavender, which is how we all should refer to him from now on.

–Hugh Jackman is pretty sure he’s only got one more Wolverine movie in him.

-What new f**kery is this? The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has a post-credits sequence you can only watch on your phone.

–Danny Strong will be making his directorial debut with a J.D. Salinger biopic. I’m so proud of our lil’ Jonathan!

-I never really understand how fans are willing to pay over $100 for “photo opps” with stars at conventions, but all the pics with the Being Human cast from last weekend’s Calgary Expo may be changing my mind. I love how they weren’t afraid to get uber-close to the fans — or each other.

-Here’s the first trailer of Halle Berry as an astronaut in her CBS summer series.
