Reese Witherspoon‘s 73 questions video for Vogue is by far the most rehearsed-sounding one in the series so far. At least she looks fresh-faced and lovely on the cover, and reveals in the story that she brought a hypnotist to the Wild set to help calm her nerves before shooting her sex scenes.

-In other cover story news, Brad Pitt covers British GQ, where he talks about happiness, George Clooney and how he and Shia LaBeouf were jerks to Scott Eastwood on the Fury set.

-Speaking of George, it feels like the wedding celebrations will never end. He and Amal Alamuddin had to say “I do” again today in Venice to make their marriage official. (Once again, her outfit was stunning.)

-Speaking of outfits, word is we might get a peek at Amal‘s wedding dress as early as tomorrow, courtesy of People and Hello.

-Meanwhile, the couple reportedly gave everyone an iPod with a personal playlist, as well as a framed copy of this playful photo.

-Crap. Anna Kendrick is reportedly the latest celeb to have photos leaked. Apparently they’re not as scandalous as the previous leaks but this is still nine different kinds of suck.

Jennifer Lopez and Leah Remini are ok after a drunk driver rear-ended their car at a red light.

-Ugh. Lena Dunham‘s book tour warm-up acts will not be paid. Just when I was feeling so warm ‘n fuzzy about her new YouTube Q&A videos.

-Map to the Stars will get a limited run at the end of this year, which basically guarantees Julianne Moore will get an Oscar nod. I had some issues with that movie, but her performance was killer.

-Speaking of movies I was conflicted about, Denzel Washington‘s The Equalizer featured some smooth dance moves — which he learned from YouTube.

-Dammit. Amanda Bynes has resurfaced — by being arrested for driving under the influence.

Jessica Chastain tweeted nice things about Chloe Moretz. (I saw them at a TIFF party, where Chloe was animatedly talking Jessica’s ear off for over an hour. We kept wondering if we should send a rescue team…)

FKA twigs is getting harassed by racists for dating Robert Pattinson because Twi-hards are still terrible.

-Speaking of people who are still terrible, Chris Brown shoved a woman at a nightclub.

-Well, this certainly has potential: Mary-Louise Parker will tell her life story through a series of letters penned to the most important men in her life. The Billy Crudup one alone should make it worth a read.

-The new season of Key & Peele is so, so good. This killed me.

-This weekend there was a Robin Williams memorial service attended by Billy Crystal, Whoopi Goldberg, Ben Stiller, Bette Midler, Jeff Bridges, Rhea Perlman, Sarah Michelle Gellar and more.

-Gird your ovaries: Ryan Gosling and Matt Bomer are going to costar in a movie together.

-I saw Skeleton Twins this weekend and loved it (especially a lip-synch scene that is destined for YouTube fame). I also loved Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader schooling this reporter who clearly didn’t watch the film before their interview.

-Everyone was supposed to be talking about the big Simpsons/Family Guy crossover last night, but it was Don Hertzfeldt’s mind-bending couch gag that opened the Simpsons that had Twitter buzzing.  (If you’ve never seen his 9-minute YouTube short, strap yourself in!)

-Here’s the first trailer for Predestination with Ethan Hawke. It’s like an even trippier version of Looper.

(I’m heading to the Maritimes tonight for an extra long long weekend, and I won’t be back until mid-next week. Until then, feel free to amuse yourself by watching the best Channing Tatum dance routine ever.)

-At the TCA today, the president of Fox said Cory Monteith‘s Finn will be written out of the show in the third episode, which will “deal directly with the incidents involved with Cory’s passing and the drug abuse in particular.” He also added that the sixth season will probably be the show’s last.

Harry Potter star Bonnie Wright seems to have gotten over her split from Jamie Campbell Bower. She was spotted making out with a mystery man while on vacation.

-Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Jennifer Lopez is reportedly very close to signing a deal to return to American Idol.

The New York Times posted a fantastic video with the cast of Breaking Bad. It’s over an hour long, but soo good!

Penelope Cruz directed a lingerie commercial starring her sister and her husband, Javier Bardem.

-I have lots of complicated feelings about Officer Bennett on Orange Is The New Black. One one hand, I think we’re supposed to be leery of how he’s taking advantage of his power to have a relationship with an inmate. On the other hand, he’s sooo dreamy. This interview with the adorable actor doesn’t help.

Justin Bieber has taken to wearing a Guy Fawkes mask, which is the least disturbing thing about him these days.

-Meanwhile, Bieb’s BFF Lil Twist has been named in a battery report filed by a woman who claims the incident took place in Bieber’s house.

Miley Cyrus, please stop doing things like this. Whatever this is.

True Blood‘s Ryan Kwanten plays Marvel villain Venom in a new short film. That might be the worst New York accent I’ve ever heard, but he’s still a cutie.

Jennifer Aniston sat down with Chelsea Handler last night to debunk nudity rumours and talk bachelorette party plans.

-Meanwhile, if you want to watch Aniston talk about cradling balls, check out the new NSFW trailer for We Are the Millers.

-If you thought having Stephen King as a dad just meant enjoying awesome bedtime stories and Cujo residuals, think again. He made his kids read Anna Karenina out loud.

-The plot thickens in the Simon Cowell saga. He hasn’t commented on reports that he impregnated his best friend’s wife, but his friend just named Cowell in his divorce papers.

Aubrey Plaza has a girl crush on Amy Poehler. Who doesn’t? Did anyone see her on Hollywood Game Night last week? The only thing better than Amy Poehler is Drunk Amy Poehler.

Denzel Washington‘s wife said no to his first two marriage proposals. If only she’d said no to the third.

-Meanwhile, here’s a supercut of Denzel laughing.

Rob Lowe may be leaving Parks and Rec at the second half of next season, but that doesn’t mean he’s leaving NBC. The network is reportedly trying to finalize a development deal with him.

-A new Elysium clip has surfaced.
