Gwyneth Paltrow Is Back On the Avengers Set

-Apparently there was some debate about whether or not Gwyneth Paltrow would be in the next Avengers movie but here she is on set so I guess she’s still in. I’m glad; I like Pepper Potts.

–Mel B threw water on Simon Cowell and walked off the America’s Got Talent set after he made quip about her marriage.

–Taylor Swift is here to save the world. She announced a new album, coming out on Nov 10, and her first single drops tomorrow. This is brilliant (if accidental?) timing on her part; she disappeared long enough for us to miss her, and then returns to the music scene on the heels of her triumphant court appearance.

-The Clooneys made a $1 million donation to fight hate groups, with George saying “Amal & I wanted to add our voice (and financial assistance) to the ongoing fight for equality.” Putting that tequila bank to good use!

-I love Variety’s annual roundup of TV salaries, mostly because it’s always so shocking. Also, pay Donald Glover more, Hollywood!

–Chris Hemsworth uses his Photoshop skills for good, not evil.

-Did Scarlett Johansson get a giant back tattoo (or, as I like to call it, pull a Ben Affleck)?

–Sarah Paulson freaks out about Trump in the first American Horror Story: Cult trailer. Same, girl.

-Oh god, no! Deadline reports that Warner Bros. is setting the course for a Joker origin story from The Hangover’s Todd Phillips. Whyyyyy????

–Tig Notaro did a pretty blunt interview about Louis C.K., urging him to finally address rumours of sexual harassment, and saying that despite his executive-producer credit on her Amazon show One Mississippi, he has “never been involved” and has “nothing to do with the show.”

–Amy Schumer asked Netflix for more money after seeing headlines about Chris Rock‘s and Dave Chappelle’s deals. I’m not always her biggest fan, but good for her. She is without a doubt the most famous female comedian working right now, so she should be playing in the big leagues.

–Kevin Hart gives so little f’s about his ex-wife’s cheating allegations that he filmed himself laughing it off on Instagram. As Lainey pointed it out, his current wife is creating more drama than the ex, which is odd.

-Buzzfeed interviewed a woman who says she had a sexual relationship with R. Kelly when she was 15 and then received payouts to keep quiet.

-Here’s another great great article on how GoT is ruining the Sansa/Arya dynamic. I’m glad I’m not the only one pissed at this.

-At least the actresses do really great Ned Stark impressions.

-This is an excellent, excellent thread on why Hollywood continues to whitewash Asian roles.

–Angelina Jolie took her kids to Target on Saturday to get them hot dogs. But Target doesn’t do hot dogs. Good try at being a norm, tho!

–Ian Somerhalder lied to us about his month of silence, and now we’re all suffering.

–Adam Scott’s stepson might be the spawn of the devil in the Little Evil trailer. Evangeline Lilly and Donald Faison also star. Is it supposed to be funny? It looks funny! “What good thing has ever happened in a corn field?!”

Emma Thompson Once Rejected Donald Trump

–Emma Thompson recalls the time Donald Trump asked her out: “I didn’t know what to do with myself.” Her cackle at the beginning of this story is epic.

-I probably shouldn’t have laughed at this story about reality TV contestants who emerged from a year in the wilderness only to discover the show was cancelled 7 months ago, but I’m not a very good person.

–Amy Schumer dropped out of that live-action Barbie movie, which seems like a good idea on her part.

-Nikolaj Coster-Waldau says that Game of Thrones Season 7 ice stunt was “embarrassing” for the show’s creators.

-For anyone hoping Vanessa Hudgens will someday reunite with Zac Efron, don’t hold your breath. She says “I completely lost contact with him.”

-According to Page Six, Hollywood can’t stand Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell because they overshare. I mean, I think it’s really weird that they crusade to keep their family life private while simultaneously shoot commercials about their happy family life, but they’re still cute AF, y’all.

–Mariah Carey waded into the Nicki Minaj vs Remy Ma feud. No good can come from this.

–Cory Booker and Mindy Kaling flirted over Twitter and the internet is shipping it HARD.

-Is it the beginning of the end for Us Weekly?

-Here’s the first trailer for Queen of the Desert, starring Nicole Kidman, James Franco, and Robert Pattinson.

–Lin Manuel-Miranda brought his mom to the Oscar luncheon, but his live-tweeting made it feel like he’d brought us along as well.

–Matt Damon crashed Jimmy Kimmel Live once again.

-I watched a few of episodes of Santa Clarita Diet this weekend and didn’t love it — but I do love that they have Hal and Joanne from BodyBreak promoting it!

-SNL’s Weekend Update is the weakest it’s been in years, so of course it may be getting a spinoff.

-I love that Trump is so rattled over Melissa McCarthy‘s SNL impression of Sean Spicer. Now Rosie O’Donnell wants to play Steve Bannon. She should play Trump instead and *really* get under his skin.

-HBO’s John Oliver talks the new season of Last Week Tonight: “I think we’re very anxious to not make it all Trump, all the time.”

–David Beckham’s email hack made not seem super scandalous to us non-Brits, but it does make him “seem like a whiny and insincere little man whose every move for over a decade has been influenced by an almost pathological desire to be knighted.”

–Zosia Mamet was asked her opinion of the other characters on Girls and she did not hold back.

–Evan Rachel Wood shared details of her bisexuality at an LGBT Gala.
