-A topless Miley Cyrus is licking herself on the new cover of Rolling Stone because why not? In the article, she says “Now people expect me to come out and twerk with my tongue out all the time. I’ll probably never do that s–t again.” Well that promise didn’t last long…

-Meanwhile, she Instagramed a photo of her latest tattoo, which she got on the soles of her feet. Ouchie!

-Remember when you watched the trailer for Nicole Kidman‘s new Grace Kelly biopic and thought “that looks terrible!” Well, the studio seemed to have a similar reaction. They’ve pushed the release date from November to next spring, taking Kidman out of this year’s Oscar race.

-As if we needed to feel worse about Jeff Daniels winning an Emmy, here he is in his Dumb and Dumber 2 costume.

Ellen Pompeo was embarrassed by the lack of diversity at the the Emmys.

-This is why we shouldn’t let Real Housewife cast members land book deals. Here’s an actual quote from Melissa Gorgas‘ new book: “If your wife says ‘no,’ turn her around, and rip her clothes off. She wants to be dominated.”

-Hide the fans; Beyonce has already ditched the bob and returned to extensions.

-A vote for Leah Remini on Dancing with the Stars is a vote against Scientology.

-If you ever listen to Comedy Bang! Bang!’s podcast, you’ll know that Amy Poehler always kills it during the freestyle rap battle. She back at it, rapping about butter. (FF to 5:26)

Amanda Bynes lawyers says she’s mentally unfit to stand trial for her DUI case.

M.I.A. talked about NFL’s ridiculous demands that she pay $1.5 million for flipping the middle finger during the Superbowl halftime show.

-In news that will probably surprise no one, there’s reportedly video of Brooke Mueller smoking crack.

-I could listen to Mad Men’s John Slattery read all day long…

-The boys and girls at EW ranked every single Breaking Bad episode ever, which is both awesome and crazy.

-Meanwhile, the entire cast of Breaking Bad appeared on Conan last night, where Bryan Cranston read one fan’s unnervingly erotic fan letter.

Drake’s new album officially dropped today. Do you have it yet? I’ve been listening to “From Time” on repeat all day. His new video for “Hold On We’re Going Home” also landed.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor’s statement about winning the Polaris Prize is pretty damn epic.

Los Campesinos! has a new album coming out? Yes, please!

-In terms of new TV shows, The Blacklist and Sleepy Hollow are the early ratings winners. Hostages tanked last night, which means I’ll probably  wait to watch it until I’m sure it won’t be cancelled.

-In other TV news, FX has renewed The Bridge for a 13-episode second season.

-Aziz Ansari and Seth Rogen are brainstorming crazy product-placements for the release of a comedy special in this new video.

-Speaking of Rogen, he’s working on an R-rated animated movie called Sausage Party.

-The controversy surrounding Blue Is the Warmest Colour continues. Now the director says he doesn’t think it should be released because “it was too dirty.” I loved it when I saw it at TIFF (though I wouldn’t be too sad if they cut down the 10 minute sex scene).

-Sweet! The follow up to Lizzie Bennet Diaries, which is a modern adaptation of Emma, will premiere on YouTube Oct. 7.

Kate Upton has never been more tolerable than when she was playing flip cup with Jimmy Fallon.

MTV VMAs Get Ratings Boost Thanks To Miley Cyrus, ‘N Sync

-All that twerking helped the VMAs score big ratings last night.

-Everyone’s still talking about Miley Cyrus‘ desperate performance (as well as Will Smith and Taylor Swift’s reactions to said twerkfest  — though Smith might have been reacting to Gaga instead). Vulture posted a pretty great analysis of Miley’s performance, saying it wasn’t about sex, it was about race and calling her ratchet display a “minstrel show“. It’s an interesting point of view, but I think they’re giving Miley too much credit. I’m guessing her thought process went something along the lines of “tongue = good; clothes = bad.”

-Meanwhile, Miley‘s manager says her “evolution” is “healthy” and “organic.” In case you didn’t know, this is the same guy who used to manage Britney Spears, so…yeah.

-Also, the Onion hilariously predicted Miley’s VMA performance back in 2008.

Miley found time to drop a new single amid all the grossness.

-Meanwhile, Kelly Clarkson deemed a couple VMA performers “pitchy strippers,” making me love her even more.

-In other VMA news, Jessica Biel didn’t show up to the ceremony, but Justin Timberlake at least let her attend the afterparty (in a super unflattering dress, but still).

Ellie Goulding is rumoured to be dating One Direction’s Niall Horan, but that didn’t stop her from getting handsy with Ed Sheeran during the VMAs. She later pooped the gossip party by tweeting that they’re just “friends.”

Taylor Swift may have mouthed STFU during the ceremony at Harry Styles, but the exes made nice at a VMAs afterparty.

-Also last night, One Direction got booed for winning the Song of the Summer, and Lady Gaga was having none of it.

Anna Gunn wrote a great op-ed piece in the New York Times about fans’ hatred of her Breaking Bad character, and how such vitriol only seems to rain on female characters.

-Speaking of Breaking Bad, last night’s ep gave me a mad case of the OMGs.

-For those of you who just couldn’t sit through Low Winter Sun last night, here’s the Walking Dead sneak peek that aired during the commercial break.

-The other big entertainment event that happened last night was the taping of James Franco‘s Comedy Central roast. So just how many gay jokes were there? Not surprisingly, a LOT. (And here’s a selection of the non-gay jokes, in case you’re wondering what else they teased him about.)

Chris Brown keeps tweeting about how he’s ready to be “a leader.” He better be talking about the comic book character, or else we’re all in trouble!

Jenny McCarthy is gearing up for her View debut by trotting boyfriend Donnie Wahlberg out on red carpets.

-The Lamar Odom saga has taken a dark, disturbing turn. Khloe Kardashian reportedly separated from him after a failed intervention last week, and now comes reports that he spent the last few days in a hotel room where friends “are trying to get him help for unspecified drug problem.” Khole is the only Kardashian I find tolerable; I hope it all works out for them.

Joss Whedon has defended Ben Affleck being cast as Batman, so I guess we should all just shut up now and bow down to his nerd judgement. Bryan Cranston has reportedly already signed on to play Lex Luthor, so I’m already on board.

-Even Lindsay Lohan isn’t immune to auto-correct fails.

Kate Gosselin is reportedly suing ex-husband Jon for millions, claiming he hacked into her computer, bank accounts and phone lines and used what he found to publish a tell-all book about her. Glad to see some things never change.

-Looks like someone can afford a new pair of grills! Forbes just named Madonna the highest paid celebrity of 2013.

-This might be a little too “inside baseball” for most, but the feud between Nikki Finke and her boss is riveting stuff in the gossip world.

George Clooney starts filming his new movie Tomorrowland in Vancouver this week. Is this why he can’t make it to TIFF? *pout*

Brad Pitt (who’s also not scheduled to attend his TIFF premiere – WTF?) and Angelina Jolie were reportedly in Canada recently scouting locations for her new film, and they took a break to enjoy a daredevil date at a racetrack.

Kevin Spacey had some tough talk for TV network execs. I spent a lot of time vigorously nodding while listening to this.

-The Church of Scientology held a big gala this weekend, which served as a reminder that people who otherwise seem pretty awesome (like Laura Prepon and Erika Christensen) are members.

-A bunch of directors, including Edgar Wright, James Ponsoldt, and Lynn Shelton, started tweeting nice things about each other last night, and it quickly devolved into a “Twitter group hug,” which was kind of adorable.

Arcade Fire will be doing…something…to promote their upcoming album on Sept. 9 at 9pm. Smack in the middle of TIFF, so that’s just swell.

Scarlett Johansson plays a tease in the new trailer for Joseph Gordon-Levitt‘s Don Jon.

-Speaking of trailers, the first one for Divergent premiered last night. I’m loving Kate Winslet as Jeanine in this!
