Mariah Carey Splits from Fiancé James Packer

-Welp! Mariah Carey and her billionaire fiancé James Packer reportedly broke up. TMZ says it happened in Greece last month after he allegedly did “something really bad” involving her assistant. Whatever it was, a source tells People they may still reconcile.

-In much happier news (for me), Mariah is coming to Toronto next week to unveil The Bay’s holiday window. I’m so going.

–Anna Kendrick’s reaction to Martha Stewart admitting she’s sexted is the best. Between this and her recent reaction to Robbie Williams’s handjob story on Graham Norton, I just want her to co-couch every interview.

–Ewan McGregor, Niall Horan, James Corden and Isla Fisher take turns choosing between answering very personal questions or eating stomach-churning foods. My biggest takeaway from this is that Isla Fisher is Australian!

–Hayley Atwell‘s ability to talk with her mouth closed is next level. If her new show was just an hour of this, I’d like it much better.

–Justin Timberlake talked about being a total idiot by taking a selfie in a voting booth last night on The Tonight Show, before taking the Best Friends Challenge with Jimmy Fallon.

-Ben Affleck urges his fellow New Englanders to vote in his most Boston accent ever. He looks rough in this, but damn if I’m not still charmed.

-Following that well-received election short, NBC is now eyeing a Will & Grace revival. Hmmm. As much as I enjoyed that show when it was on, it hasn’t aged well. The concept feels so dated now, no? Also, wouldn’t the flash forwards in the finale muck up a revival?

–Uma Thurman‘s ex is asking a judge to prohibit her from taking their 4-year-old daughter to Europe while she shoots a movie. He sounds swell!

-Raven-Symone is leaving The View (not surprising) for a That’s So Raven spinoff (ok, I didn’t see that one coming).

–Elijah Wood is sick of getting mistaken for Daniel Radcliffe. “I don’t want to fight this guy!”

-Does James Franco winking at you make you want to vote for Hillary Clinton? He certainly hopes so.

–Taylor Swift managed to avoid Katy Perry and John Mayer at Drake‘s b-day party by never leaving her table.

–Donald Glover‘s mom warned him not to mess up Lando for her. His mom is all of us.

–Steven Yeun‘s new Entertainment Weekly cover marks the first time an Asian male has had an EW solo cover. I mean, his character had to die first, but still.

–Amy Hill (who is one of those character actors you’ve seen in a million things but can never remember what), just gave a very dishy interview about her past gigs and slammed Mike Myers for being a diva on the Cat in the Hat set. (“There was a guy who held his chocolates in a little Tupperware.  Whenever he needed chocolate, he’d come running over and give him a chocolate.”) She also has not great things to say about Téa Leoni.

–Kristen Stewart and St. Vincent made their first public appearance as a couple, and Katy Perry and Emma Stone got to awkwardly come along for the ride.

-Early reviews for Doctor Strange are overwhelmingly positive. So why can’t I muster any enthusiasm about seeing this one?

-Ugh. Fox is reportedly eyeing a “more traditional” episode order for the next season of The X Files. They couldn’t even make six episodes into a cohesive season; how is adding more going to fix that?

-At an event last night, John Oliver slammed Donald Trump for his poor understanding of female anatomy.

-I love and adore James McAvoy, but not enough to watch another M. Night Shyamalan movie. I’ll just watch Starter for 10 for the 30th time instead…

Gillian Anderson Talks Aging Gracefully

-In her New Beauty cover story, Gillian Anderson says “I think in Europe, in general, there’s a sense that women who age naturally can be beautiful, whereas I’m not so sure that’s the perception in America.” Let’s all move to Europe!

–Calvin Harris said a lot of stuff (A LOT) on Instagram about his split from Taylor Swift.

–Nicolas Cage and wife Alice Kim have separated after 11 years of marriage.

-A Step Up TV show is coming to YouTube and it will feature Channing Tatum. This news has been brought to you from inside my brain.

-Meanwhile, Channing got candid about his sex life with wife Jenna Dewan: “For lack of a better term, we don’t hate-f**k each other. That’s just not what we do…We get down!”

–Anton Yelchin’s tragic death has prompted a $5 million class-action lawsuit against Jeep.

-In honour of The Devil Wears Prada’s 10th anniversary (yikes!), Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt are spilling secrets from the set (including how fragile Anne was because then-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri didn’t want her working). I still love that movie (although Andy’s friends are garbage people.)

-Speaking of female-fronted comedies that made a huge impact at the box office, the new Ghostbusters movie is tracking for a low debut. Come on ladies, let’s all band together and make this movie huge!  Even if it’s not very good, we need to combat this kind of crap.

–Chris Brown is being sued again for assault. Must be a day that ends in ‘y’.

–Amber Rose apparently has a new talk show, judging by this promo. Burn it all down.

–Aziz Ansari wrote this great piece for the NYT and then tweeted: “Trump wants to ban Muslim immigrants like my parents. I wrote a piece for @NYTimes telling him to go fuck himself.”

-Another good read: Lena Dunham‘s Lenny interview with Sheryl Sandberg.

-British celebrities are not happy about the Brexit. Neither, surprisingly, is Lindsay Lohan.

-Mr Robot Season 2 is now 12 episodes instead of 10, which might be the perfect TV season length.

–Ewan McGregor, Jennifer Connelly and Dakota Fanning star in the new American Pastoral trailer.

Julianne Moore Talks God and Guns

–Julianne Moore looks stunning in the pages of The Hollywood Reporter (though I’m not as in love with the cover). In the story, she talks about getting Twitter flak for her gun control comments, and losing her faith after her mother’s death.

–Ewan McGregor is too polite to tell you about his huge penis, so Colin Farrell has selflessly volunteered to spread the word. He’s doing God’s work.

-Speaking of actor junk, no one can stop talking about Chris Messina’s nude scene in his new Sundance film.

–Kathryn Hahn absolutely kills it on Celebrity Name Game.

-More details have emerged about Emile Hirsch‘s alleged assault on a Paramount executive. He reportedly put her in a chokehold. Charming as ever, then?

–Benji Madden and Cameron Diaz enjoyed a very un-Hollywood honeymoon in Wyoming and are now back in LA and looking gushy.

-Here’s a great piece on Tyrese (who’s appearing more than a little desperate to play the Green Lantern) and a history of “thirsty” actors.

–Amal Clooney had a perfect response to being asked about her style while representing Armenia in a human rights trial.

-So we’re at the point where Lindsay Lohan is poking fun of her DUIs (AND getting paid for it)? Blurg.

–Joss Whedon says Age of Ultron will probably be his last Avengers movie because he wants to go back to making his own stuff. Fingers crossed that includes Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog 2!

-I continue to be so very impressed by Gabrielle Union.

-Speaking of impressive, Emma Watson told a young girl to ignore her dad’s advice and become an engineer.

–Taylor Swift is trying to trademark some common phrases, which isn’t really how that works.

–Johnny Depp joked that he missed a press conference because he was fighting a chupacabra. (I totally know what that is from The X Files, which basically taught me everything I’ve ever needed to know about life).

-Here are JK Simmons‘ promos for SNL. I have high hopes for this episode!

-Agent Carter’s ratings dropped again last night, which doesn’t bode well for its renewal chances — or future female Marvel heroes.

-Marley & Me’s Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson are reuniting for a new movie called She’s Funny That Way. It looks so very, very bad. Imogen Poots deserves a better movie — and a better accent.
