–Katy Perry puts away the whipped cream bra and goes for respectable on the new cover of Forbes, which just released its highest-paid celebs list (she came in at #3).
-There are very, very few people who could wear an outfit to their movie premiere that actually references the movie and get away with it, but Sandra Bullock is pulling it off.
-Now there are trailers for music videos? Oy vey. Here’s a teaser for Rihanna‘s “Bitch Better Have My Money.”
-Speaking of sentences that include Rihanna and bitch, check out her reaction when a BET exec told her she couldn’t throw money into the crowd during her appearance. Seriously, in what other profession/world can you throw something right at someone else’s face and prance away without consequence? (I’m asking because I would very much like to live in that world. Is there a passport application?)
-This might be the best description of Magic Mike XXL I’ve read so far: “It plays like an R-rated Step Up sequel as shot by Soderbergh.” Seriously, this movie needs to get in your eyeballs.
-So it turns out that Kate and Oliver Hudson’s biological father is kind of an ass face.
–Taylor Swift collected a lot of new BFFs for her posse this weekend: Emma Watson, Serena Williams, Gwyneth Paltrow.
-I don’t know if the world needs a sequel to My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but the world definitely needs more photos from Nia Vardalos of a shirtless John Corbett. (Anyone else have the urge to rub his tummy because he ate too much chicken? Just me?)
-I’m really looking forward to Amy Schumer’s Trainwreck, but the promo tour is also going to be a treat. She’s already speaking out about her refusal to conform to what Hollywood wants, saying “It’s very therapeutic for me to be like, ‘Yes, I’m not going to look like a malnourished bird.'”
-Also, Amy had a great response to that article from The Guardian criticizing her for racial insensitivity.
-She also says she turned down a Daily Show hosting job offer which, considering the year she’s having, was probably the right call.
-Look, we all have feelings about Paris Hilton and they’re probably not all that warm ‘n fuzzy, but tricking her into thinking her plane was crashing for the sake of an Egyptian TV show seems a bit harsh, no? (And this is coming from someone who once had to schedule her vacation around Paris’ court appearance…)
–Jennifer Lawrence continues to prove that she’s living life better than any of us could ever aspire to.
-Alright, Iggy Azalea. We’ve put up with a lot from you but blaming Britney Spears for your latest flop? THAT IS A BRIDGE TOO FAR, MISSY!
-I really liked this article on how when it comes to TV, plot isn’t important, story is. I think that’s why I had such a hard time getting through this season of Orphan Black. Plot became the most important thing, and it was incomprehensible.
-Speaking of the Clone Club, Tatiana Maslany is in a new music video, playing a bored housewife who gets caught up in daydreams.
–Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie joined Prince Will and Princess Kate for tea, where they discussed “illegal wildlife trade.” I’m assuming that’s just code for Wills & Kate pestering them for a Mr. & Mrs Smith sequel…
-Here’s a great history of the Seinfeld girlfriends, told by the actresses themselves.
-I have started watching Amazon’s Catastrophe yet, but Vulture and Grantland are both calling it the show of the summer.
–Shania Twain talked about that time her and her former BFF ended up swapping husbands, and why they no longer talk. “I don’t see her, ever. I don’t invite that trigger into my life. She’s not my future—she’s not my past.”
-There was no better way to spend an hour this afternoon than by watching the #AskELJames Twitter fiasco. It backfired so beautifully. I was tracking that tag like
-There’s going to be a musical version of The OC. Did Christmas come early?!?
-Not only were we subjected to Shia LeBeouf’s freestyle rap, it turns out we were subjected to Shia LeBeouf’s plagiarized freestyle rap.
-Irony alert: Cara Delevingne thinks female superhero costumes are sexist; clearly is repressing her Suicide Squad outfit.
–This deleted scene from X-Men: Days of Future Past makes me sad that Anna Paquin was basically cut from that entire movie.
-Here’s a good rundown of everything we know about Marvel’s movie future. My eyes still haven’t de-glazed from my coworker’s lengthy explanation about why Spider Man is soon going to be a black/Latino teenager (I lost interest after repeated mentions of the words “alternate universe” and “Tony Stark-led Illuminati,” but I’m weird like that…)
–Donald Trump has officially been dumped by NBC (finally) after his remarks about immigrants from Mexico. Cue a million “You’re Fired” headlines tomorrow…
–Kanye West compared himself to Da Vinci and… a chair. Obviously.
-For such a dark show, the gag reel for The 100 is surprisingly funny. I had no idea most of the cast has accents. Does the CW get a group rate on Australians or something?
-Now that it’s legal in all states, celebrities like Ke$ha and Stephen Amell have offered their services for officiating gay weddings.
-Speaking of Stephen Amell, he was in the 6 this weekend and attended the Jay’s batting practice — where he proceeded to hit a home run because he’s stuffed with perfection, deep fried in awesomeness and lightly dusted in sugary supremacy.
–John Oliver continues to kill it. Here’s last night’s segment on transgender rights.
