Gal Gadot vogue

Gal Gadot covers Vogue, and though she doesn’t address her much-ridiculed “Imagine” video, she does talk about meeting her husband: “In the desert at this chakra/yoga retreat type of party. And he was too cool for school. Like, we were in the same group of friends but I didn’t know him and he didn’t know me. And something happened kind of from the first moment we started talking. When we got home, I was like, ‘Is this too early to call you? I want to have a date.’ Then we go out, and by the second date he told me, ‘I’m going to marry you. I’m going to wait for two years, but we’re going to get married.’ I was like, ‘Fine.'”

-In a new chat with Amy Schumer in Interview, Selena Gomez talks about how tabloids would spin it every time she stepped away from the spotlight. “The way the media has sometimes tried to explain things has made it sound really bad, when in reality there’s nothing wrong with the fact that I needed to go away or that I fell in love. I had to start opening up because people were taking away my narrative, and it was killing me.”

-Meanwhile, Selena just nabbed Tom Petty’s L.A. mansion for $5 million.

Let’s play something a little bit family friendly.” He later clarified: “When I stopped the music it was because it had a lot of curses in there. Not because she was twerking. She’s one of the best twerkers in the world.”

-Speaking of charity IG Lives, Rihanna did one and warned fans to quit asking about new music. “If one of y’all motherf–kers asks me about the album one more time when I’m trying to save the world, unlike y’all president… on sight.” She’s not wrong.

-I watched the Tiger King reunion special so you don’t have to.

-My favorite part of this interview is when Ellen Pompeo is pretty blunt about how she preferred the early seasons of Grey’s Anatomy. “The show back then was just so, so, so, so good. I wish we had an appreciation for it then about how good it was. I don’t think we did, I don’t think any of us did. There was too much shit going on. It was too big, it was too hot, it was too fast and there was just so much going on in the beginning…I wish we had appreciated it for really how good it was, because — man, the show was fantastic back then.”

The Dixie Chicks allure

-The Dixie Chicks are on the cover of Allure, in which they talk about how speaking out against the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq during a 2003 concert basically killed their career for more than a decade. “I have no regrets, but the responsible part of me doesn’t want to put people through shit [again].

Gugliemelli posted on Facebook: “I want to start by saying how sorry I am that I caused such trauma and pain and how horribly embarrassed and disgusted I am with myself. I know that the pain and hurt that I have caused will never go away and I know that what I did was wrong and truly cruel.”

-The Hype House kids not knowing who Perez Hilton is tickles me.

You’re not functional. One day, I looked around and I was lying in a bed in my parents apartment under two blankets, in the same pyjamas Id been in for three days, and I was like, This isn’t me. It wasn’t that I was suicidal. I felt nothing. I didn’t want to live”). She also recounts her attempts to move on from Jack Antonoff with a string of short-term relationships, including a guy who proposed with the lace of a Timberland boot while they were snowed in at her parent’s apartment (“I’d just had a hysterectomy, I’d broken up with my boyfriend, I was in the process of breaking up with my business partner – I had no business buying a pair of shoes, [let alone] getting engaged.

It seems certain people are jumping the gun.” Sure, Jan.
