–Justin Bieber posted a photo with Will Smith, who he called “Uncle Will.” Anyone else hoping Smith adopts him? You’d never see Jaden peeing in a bucket.

-Also in need of an intervention: Robert Pattinson, who’s reportedly been hanging out with Mischa Barton a lot. What. The. Hell.

-Sadness: Lisa Robin Kelly from That ’70s show has died. The actress voluntarily checked herself into rehab this past week, but went into cardiac arrest late last night — the eve of her 43rd birthday.

–Kim Kardashian was photographed for the first time since giving birth. She looks normal, makeup-free and regular person-shaped, which makes me think this wasn’t a staged photo opp.

-Fox and NBC are reportedly in a bidding war for a new comedy by Tina Fey set at a newly coed college.

–Will Arnett is dating the ex-wife of Billy Joel. Could you imagine dating someone who was once married to the awesomeness that is Amy Poehler? I think I’d spend  a lot of time trying to convince them to reconcile.

-Now all those people who were complaining about Gwyneth Paltrow‘s behaviour at a recent authors’ event are back-pedalling.

-Glee’s Ryan Murphy says they’ve changed their mind about Cory Monteith‘s character dying from a drug overdose. Thank god.

-I keep forgetting that Robin Wright is dating Ben Foster. And then I remember and mentally high-five her.

-In his new edition of Lie Witness News, Jimmy Kimmel asks people how they feel about Oprah‘s (fake) Oscar nomination for The Butler.

-A new teaser for Homeland has landed. I call this one “Claire Danes’ Crazy Eyes.”

-I’m not sure how I feel about the kid who plays Sally on Mad Men starring in Lifetime’s Flowers in the Attic adaptation. Hasn’t she seen enough for one year?

-What if Breaking Bad were shot like The Wire? This awesome montage gives us an idea.

-Following his Reddit AMA, Aaron Paul hosted the inaugural Bitchie Awards, handing out “bitches” for the best questions.

–Bill Nighy says he turned down the opportunity to be the new Doctor Who, even though he’s pretty much the only person who could get me to watch it.

-Has Rachel McAdams found a new man?

-I hate hate hate the dress, but otherwise Calista Flockhart is looking great these days!

-Speaking of ugly dresses, Jennifer Aniston strayed from her usual black and wore floral. Points for trying, though.

–Aniston was back in black in Berlin. What’s happening with the hair swoop thing that she’s been doing?

-Yet another R. Kelly x Phoenix track has been dropped.

–Cate Blanchett looks insanely good in her new Armani ad.

-Sexy sexypot Miguel was arrested for DUI.

-Someday soon before I have to pick my TIFF movies (next week!), I’m going to go through all of the festival trailers. First up is the one for Therese, starring Elizabeth Olsen, Oscar Isaac and Jessica Lange.

Claire Danes Talks Bullying, Acting Dry Spell in Vogue

claire-danes-vogue

–Claire Danes not only looks amazing on the new cover of Vogue, she also uses the interview to call out a fellow actress who used to bully her as a teen. She also reveals that she spent the two years before Homeland struggling to land gigs. What kind of monster wouldn’t want to hire Angela Chase?!

-Leave it to Mariah Carey to bedazzle her sling.

-Vancouver police say that they’re trying to expedite Cory Monteith’s autopsy results, but it will still take a few days.  Meanwhile (in what is no doubt a testament to how nice he always was to the press), media coverage of his death has remained mostly respectful, with a big focus on his philanthropy. Before his sudden passing, he was working closely with the Project Limelight Society. If you would like to honour his memory, donations can be made  on their website. (Hit the “donate” button at the top right to quickly do it through PayPal.)

-Everyone’s wondering how Glee is going to handle this. If the show has to continue, I don’t mind the idea of a flash-forward and an entire relocation to NYC.

-After all the terrible, terrible news over the weekend, the royal baby just needs to hurry up and get here already. David Beckham is even offering to help William and Kate along with some solid naming advice.

-No one seemed to Tweet nice things about The Newsroom‘s season premiere last night — except for the journalists who were paid to.

-Meanwhile, EW just posted the best quiz ever: “Who Said It: A Dumb & Dumber Guy or a woman on The Newsroom?”

-I can’t stop looking at the photos of celebrities at Jimmy Kimmel‘s weekend wedding. I just wish there was a front-on photo of Emily Blunt‘s adorable-from-the-back pink and yellow dress. Also, I’m loving that Kristen Bell still looks like someone who just gave birth and not like one of those alien actresses who immediately slim down to their pre-baby bod.

-Oh, and it appears that Gabby Sidibe arrived in a wedding dress. Part of some Kimmel-approved prank, perhaps?

-This is awesome: a couple who were driving to a Dave Matthews concert stopped to pick up a hitch-hiker…who turned out to be Dave Matthews.

-It was a big publicity-garnering weekend for Jenny McCarthy. Not only did she land a new boyfriend, but she also landed a cohost spot on The View.

–Carly Rae Jepsen throws like me. Which is to say, terribly.

–Kristen Stewart sat next to Michael Pitt once so now everyone assumes they’re dating (even though, last I heard, he was engaged to Jamie Bochert). #MinorDetail

-Is it possible that Justin Timberlake (or anyone on his team) really had never heard the phrase “Take Back the Night” before? Really?

–Arrow’s Stephen Amell posted a photo of himself from hiatus that seemed to suggest he’d gotten chubby. I don’t see it.

–Benedict Cumberbatch is wearing jorts (or are these japris?). Either way, it’s amazing.

-This is a long (loooonnnnggg) article on Jay-Z’s business acumen, but definitely worth a read. He’s giving 50 Cent a run for his money when it comes to, well, money.

-Meanwhile, Beyonce posted an adorable new holiday photo with Blue Ivy.

–Courteney Cox‘s face has looked jacked for a while, but this is crazy.

-I’m not sure why Demi Lovato spent a day working for Buzzfeed, but she did. Here’s the fruits of her labour.

-Someone may have been creeping on Kim Kardashian‘s medical records. Cedars-Sinai has fired six staff members for privacy breaches.

-I had no idea that Louis CK was in the new Woody Allen movie. And this clip makes it look like an extended episode of Louis. Awesome!

-I don’t watch Big Brother, but seriously, why are those people allowed on TV? These clips make them seem like terrible, terrible people.

-Not only are we getting a Veronica Mars movie, we’re also getting two new books, which will pick up where the film leaves off.

-The latest trailer for Jobs just debuted on Instagram which is, um, new.

-Speaking of trailers, the first one for Christian Bale‘s Out of the Furnace looks intense!

Brad Pitt Greases Up the Cover of Esquire

brad-pitt-esquire-cover

-It’s been a while since Brad Pitt had to strain himself to promote one of his movies, but he’s breaking out in a sweat over World War Z. In a new interview with Esquire, he talks about his “conscious choice” to stop being a pothead, and gushes about his happy family life with Angelina Jolie. That cover isn’t going to sell any movie tickets though. Yuck.

-I went a way for a few days and missed the entire Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson implosion! Of course, all the blame is landing on her. She was too “moody” for him (because lord knows we just can’t let a couple break up without slut-shaming the girl or blaming it on her ovaries or some bullshit).

-Meanwhile, Rob is reportedly “in a really good mood” following the split.

-Is it weird that I felt really bad when Justin Bieber got booed at the Billboard Awards? Poor little dude looked like he was about to cry.

-Also, I don’t know what’s going on with him and Selena, but Taylor Swift was throwing her some seriously supportive BFF looks during one of his acceptance speeches.

-Wait, so is Beyonce pregnant or not? When I was away I thought E! confirmed it, but now Jay-Z‘s camp is denying it.

-Meanwhile, according to Gawker the leaked Beyoncé song sounds the same even when played in four windows simultaneously because we have reached peak Beyoncé levels!

-Speaking of being away, I’m catching up on my TV and just watched Ben Affleck‘s SNL monologue. Holy crap, Jennifer Garner really is Tracy Flick, isn’t she?!

–This is really making me want to watch Amy Schumer‘s new sketch show.

–Paul Wesley just tweeted “On a romantic date with Ben Mckenzie appropriately seeing the new HBO Liberace film” along with a photo of the two of them, and then the internet immediately drowned in slash fic.

–Amy Poehler predicts strangers’ futures in this video, which I haven’t watch yet ’cause it’s really long but I’m predicting it will be 100% adorable. (I also love and adore that she’s confident enough to wear a hoodie with no makeup and unwashed hair on TV.)

-Whoa. The kid who played Julie on Friday Night Lights has grown into a hottie.

-I have a love/hate relationship with Zach Galifianakis, but this is putting me firmly back in the love camp: his date to The Hangover 3 premiere was an 87-year-old woman named Mimi Haist. He made friends with her before he hit it big, and when he found out she’d become homeless a few years later he set her up with a place to live and now invites her to Hollywood events. These pictures of her getting ready kill me.

-Someone hide Mike Tyson‘s tiger: Justin Bartha just got engaged.

–John (“Captain Jack”) Barrowman will host a celebrity karaoke show for ABC called Sing Your Face Off. Does this mean his Arrow character is really dead?

–Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio will be replacing Britney Spears and L.A. Reid as judges on the X Factor, which means Fox has four months to try to make the world learn who Paulina Rubio is.

-Your opinion of the new She & Him video will largely revolve around how much you can tolerate Zooey Deschanel‘s adorableness.

-The Anchorman 2 cameos just keep coming. Now Drake is reportedly in it.

-Man, what is Dior thinking with the stuff they’re putting Jennifer Lawrence in at Cannes? Her wardrobe there is just an endless parade of the same boring dress.

-Weird question, but why is Alec Baldwin‘s wife part of his movie photocall in Cannes?

-I’m not going to lie, I am mesmerized by Blake Lively’s cooking video.

-A new trailer for The Wolverine has landed, but it looks like it’s mostly comprised of footage we’ve already seen.

–Helen Mirren, in full regalia and character, granted a terminally ill boy’s wish to meet the Queen because she’s awesome.

–This article about what happens when you land an interview with Prince made me laugh — and also made me very jealous.

–Justin Timberlake said his music career hangs over him “like a cloud.” ‘Cause that’s just what we want to hear from a guy who’s album recently sold nearly 1 million copies in one week. Charming.

–Jon Hamm‘s girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt is going to guest-star on Girls next season, which I think is actually a great move for her. She strikes me as more of a TV person than a movie person.

–ABC has finally put the unaired episodes of Don’t Trust the B up online — but of course they’re geo-blocked for Canadians because the internet hates us.

-If you have 7 minutes and 41 seconds to kill, The Weeknd just posted the first song off his upcoming album.

-The Buffy series finale aired 10 years ago this week which makes me feel really old, but also really grateful that the most popular vampire story of my youth revolved around a kickass girl and not this.

-I cannot wait until Before Midnight! Vulture’s guide to all of Celine and Jesse’s conversations is making it worse.

–Lauren Graham talking about former Gilmore Girls costar Jared Padalecki’s arms cracked me up.

–Claire Danes gets her cry-face on in the new As Cool As I Am trailer.
