Joker Bans Press from Premiere Red Carpet

-And the hits just keep coming for Joker. They just dis-invited interview press from the red carpet at this weekend’s premiere. I don’t understand how you make a movie and spend weeks talking about how gritty and realistic it is, and then be COMPLETELY unprepared to answer questions about how it might trigger violence?

-Meanwhile, director Todd Phillips once again shit on comic book films. He’s not making one of those, you see. Oh no, he’s making a “real” movie. He told The Wrap, “I literally described to Joaquin at one point in those three months as like, ‘Look at this as a way to sneak a real movie in the studio system under the guise of a comic book film’. It wasn’t, ‘We want to glorify this behavior.’ It was literally like ‘Let’s make a real movie with a real budget and we’ll call it f–ing Joker’.” Seriously, doesn’t he realize that comic fanboys are their target demo?

Noah Centineo and Dancing with the Stars alum Alexis Ren are dating. Look, I know everyone’s mad he’s not with Lana Condor in real life but  let’s just be happy for him. It can’t be easy to find someone willing to put up with that Spencer Pratt-y beard.

-This is an excellent outfit on Katie Holmes. It’s like she’s going to take over the corporate world but also maybe have a bath first.

Mindy Kaling Covers Shape

Mindy Kaling baby weight Shape Magazine

-I love that Mindy Kaling is Shape’s latest cover model — which isn’t a typical choice for them. I skimmed over the stuff about losing the baby weight, but she has some cute nuggets about motherhood: “What’s great for me is that my doctor told me that incessant chatter is good for a baby, and I’ve lived my whole life waiting to have a captive audience. So, I spend the days narrating to her. I’m constantly doing voice-over for her, as I did in The Mindy Project. Honestly, I feel like her first words are going to be, ‘Just stop. Please!'”

Dylan Sprouse is out here coming for Jared Leto, proving once again that he’s the superior Sprouse brother. And Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn took it further, tweeting “he starts at 18 on the internet?” Oh SHIT!

-I gotta say, I did not expect so many Mulroney kids to be in the royal wedding party.

Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool took over Stephen Colbert’s monologue last night.

CBS responded to Pauley Perrette’s tweets claiming she was physically assaulted while on NCIS: “Over a year ago, Pauley came to us with a workplace concern. We took the matter seriously and worked with her to find a resolution. We are committed to a safe work environment on all our shows.”
