George Clooney on Weinstein: “I Want to Know Who Knew”

-Hmmm. George Clooney seems to be putting the onus on the media for not exposing the Harvey Weinstein scandal, not on the closed and protective Hollywood system. He told the Today Show, “Whoever had that story and didn’t write it should be held responsible. I want to know what kind of ad dollars were spent from the Weinstein Company and from Miramax. Because we should’ve known this.”

-Another of Gloria Allred’s clients held a press conference to accuse Weinstein of sexual assault and rape.

–Anna Faris is the latest actress to share a story about being sexually harassed by a male director.

-A former actress broke her confidentiality agreement to claim that Val Kilmer punched her in the face and shoved her to the ground her during Doors audition.

-Speaking of powerful men who appear to be abusing their position, Rolling Stone published a horrifying new account of a woman who dated R Kelly.

-Um, the star of Outlander and the writers of Outlander should probably not be arguing about creative differences regarding the show on Twitter.

-Despite a restraining order, Tyrese admits to flying a banner over his 10-year-old daughter’s school that says “No matter what, daddy loves you Shayla.”  Yeah, that’s not going to mess her up at all.

-If someone gave me a $10 million ring, I’d probably keep wearing it too.

-Another Halloween, another ridiculous costume for Colton Haynes. This has basically turned into his annual excuse to wear ridiculous fake boobs. At least he stopped doing blackface…

-I’ll give it to Blake Lively — her birthday post to Ryan Reynolds was pretty great.

–Emma Stone is reportedly dating an SNL director. He’s the third staffer to be linked to an A-lister recently. That job is better than Tinder!

-This is a bullshit tweet from Vulture. I love Carrie Coon but I’d bet more people watched Fringe than The Leftovers and Fargo combined.

–Bobby Flay reportedly quit Iron Chef in the most obnoxious way possible.

-I wrote a piece about this fall TV season’s winners and losers.

-I stopped watching The Walking Dead because, well, it’s terrible, but I’ll still read PTV’s epic recap of the premiere because it’s in old-school Television Without Pity style! God, I miss that site.

–Liam Neeson is through playing games in the new trailer for The Commuter.

–Will Smith and Joel Edgerton star in Netflix’s original movie Bright. This thing looks beyond terrible.

Britney Spears’ Beach Activities Are Not Like Your Beach Activities

–Britney Spears posted a video of her writhing on a beach. I can only assume this is meant to serve as a judge-y reminder that I skipped leg day last week…

-Speaking of fit-looking celebrities, I may have rewatched Chris Hemsworth’s workout video a few times…

-Hmmm. According to TMZ, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck’s divorce is still “very much on.”

-I kind of love that Emma Watson stopped an interview to tell a reporter that she had a pen mark on her chin — and then proceeded to rub it off. “You would do this for me and I would do this for you.”

–Jake Johnson says that there’s a 50/50 chance that New Girl won’t be renewed.

–Early buzz about American Gods is really positive. I still can’t believe that it’s basically going to be impossible to watch this legally in Canada…

-Iron Fist star Finn Jones says the show isn’t made for critics, so please just ignore all those bad reviews. Jeez, between this and his diversity comments, did this kid get any media training AT ALL?

-“I’m so old that when I was a baby, the first word I uttered was in Latin.”  Christopher Plummer has jokes, y’all.

–Patrick Stewart is fostering a pit bull and the videos he’s posting on Twitter may actually kill me.

-Oopsie. Justin Bieber was caught on camera telling off a fan trying to get a selfie.

-Awww. Colton Haynes accepted his boyfriend’s proposal with a little help from Cher, who sang “I Got You Babe” for them via satellite just before he popped the question.

-Get Out, which cost $4.5 million to make, just crossed the coveted $100 million mark at the box office (without international!).

-Also exceeding expectations at the box office is Kong: Skull Island — but will it be enough? It cost $185M to make and at least $135M to market, which means it will need to make $500M in global ticket sales to be in the clear.

-It’s been confirmed that Game of Thrones’ eighth season, which premieres in July, will be just six episodes long.

-I really, really like this review of last night’s Big Little Liars, especially the part about how a lot of male reviewers are dismissing it using gendered terms like “soapy” and “trashy” because it focuses on rich, white folks.  (One of my fave TV critics leveled a similar critique of it on a recent podcast and then he proceeded to talk breathlessly for 20 minutes about The Young Pope. True story.)

-TMZ staffers are reportedly “grossed out” by Harvey Levin‘s close ties to Trump.

–John Barrowman’s birthday party seemed…nice. I wonder if I can convince Stephen Amell to wear that to mine?

-Lots of surprises are coming out of SXSW this week. Terrence Malick‘s Song to Song, starring Ryan Gosling, Rooney Mara and Michael Fassbender, is getting trashed, with EW calling it “a humiliating wreck of a movie” and Variety is suggesting “Malick might want to consider another lengthy hiatus.”

-Meanwhile, The Disaster Artist (James Franco‘s movie about the making of Tommy Wiseau’s 2003 cult favorite The Room starring himself, Dave Franco, Seth Rogen, Judd Apatow, Zac Efron, and Alison Brie), is getting raves, with THR calling it “wildly funny,” Indiewire deeming it an “exuberant buddy comedy,” and multiple film critics predicting that Franco will get an Oscar nomination for it.

-Also getting a lot of head at SXSW is Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver, starring Ansel Elgort. The trailer certainly intrigues me.

-Wonder Woman gets an origin story in the new trailer.

-Everyone put away your Halloween costumes. Yours will never be better than Beyonce as Salt-N-Pepa and Jay Z as Dwayne Wayne.

-Speaking of going for it, once again Colton Haynes went all out for his costume.

–Hilary Duff and her boyfriend have apologized for their stupid, offensive Halloween costume choices. How does this BS still happen every year? It’s 2016. There’s no excuse anymore.

-I saw two David S. Pumpkins on the subway this morning. Sadly, neither was Tom Hanks.

-I love and adore that Prince Harry‘s rumored girlfriend is Suits star Meghan Markle. I don’t watch the show but it often tapes next to my office and she is stunning IRL. Reitmans certainly lucked out when they signed her as their celebrity spokesperson earlier this year.

–Taylor Swift fans are convinced that she may have reunited with Tom Hiddleston this weekend because they track her movements so closely that it’s little uncomfortable.

-It was a good weekend for pop culture panels. The Hollywood Reporter hosted The Americans panel (I love that Keri Russell argued against getting her forehead vein CGI’d out when she’s angry), while EW brought back the Happy Endings cast (complete with a Hamilton-esque rap).

-Yeah, Mariah Carey is probs gonna go ahead and keep her $10 million engagement ring.

–Bryan Cranston says he will move to Canada if Drump becomes president. Just move here anyway! We’re kinda awesome.

-A new Stranger Things promo is all about Barb. Don’t tease me!!

–Idris Elba duked it out in his kickboxing debut this weekend, which was recorded by Madonna for some reason. (And not THAT reason, according to Idris.)

–Brie Larson needs to burn these shoes with fire.

-According to Michael Douglas, his former costar Val Kilmer is battling cancer.
