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…

Kim Kardashian Robbed at Gunpoint of $10 Million in Jewels

-Jesus christ. I get that people don’t like Kim Kardashian, but the amount of glee I saw on Twitter today over her robbery was gross. She was staying at a hotel known for its safety when she was bound  and gagged  with handcuffs and tape and then put in the bathtub by two gunmen while she pleaded for her life and asked them to think of her babies. Don’t celebrate that.

–Chrissy Teigen, Jamie Lee Curtis, James Corden and other celebs jumped to her defense on social media.

-Kim’s bodyguard Pascal Duvier was reportedly looking after her sisters at the time. Also, the ring in the above tweek may be the $4 million one stolen from her.

-Meanwhile, Kanye West stopped his concert mid-song when he found out what had happened.

–Nate Parker was on 60 Minutes, and it was pretty terrible:  “I was vindicated. I was proven innocent, and I feel terrible that this woman isn’t here. Her family had to deal with that, but as I sit here, an apology is — no.” He then followed up with an equally terrible interview on GMA this morning. Seriously, you’re going to try to convince mainstream America to see your movie by being snippy to Robin Roberts? If you don’t want to answer these questions, then don’t do the interviews. That’s PR 101.

–Blake Lively attended her friend’s wedding in NYC just days after giving birth because she’s a better person than all of us.

-TMZ says Angelina Jolie is adamant that Brad Pitt should not face criminal charges for getting physical with 15-year-old Maddox on their private jet. (This is good positioning for her; makes it clear that she doesn’t want to destroy him, just protect her kids).

-Meanwhile, Angelina keeps adding power attorneys to her team.

–Lindsay Lohan says she lost part of her finger in a boat accident, and then followed up with a tweet that said: “To make this very clear. The bottom part of my finger was ripped off. It was not “chopped” or “severed” off.” Okaaaay.

-When watching Jude Law in The Young Pope trailer, you can almost hear the boardroom convos that took place. “Let’s make a show about a pope. But a SEXY pope!”

-Is the title of Ben Affleck‘s solo Batman movie really called The Batman? Huh.

-Also, Ben tweeting at Chris Evans was quite cute.

-A not-so-shocking new report suggests Donald Trump sexually harassed female cast and crew on The Apprentice.

-Also, I’m not a huge Alec Baldwin fan but he crushed it as Trump on SNL.

-This is an interesting take on how Colin Jost and Michael Che are the wrong anchors for Weekend Update.

-Vulture has an excerpt from Lil Wayne’s prison journal, Gone ’Til November, written when he was serving eight months at Rikers. Read about how he called one of the gay inmates “sweetheart,” how he wanted to hook up with his female C.O., and how Drake told him on one visit that he slept with his girl, which leads to this literary gem: “As a man I’ll admit it: That shit really fucked me up, but hey, fuck that ho!”

-It’s been 10 years since FNL premiered, and 20 since The Notebook. I’m old.

-I didn’t go to Austin City Limits this year, but if any musical festival is going to lead to a cool, laid-back encounter with Thom Yorke, it’s that one.

-I’m bummed that Hayley Atwell‘s new show is getting poorly reviewed. We lost Agent Carter for this?!

-Oh, how the mighty have fallen. There’s a trailer for the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie starring Johnny Depp — except Johnny Depp isn’t even in it.

Amber Heard Shows Bruises in Newly Released Photos

amber-heard-bruises-photos

-Holy sheeeet…this cover. The fact that People magazine — who crowned Johnny Depp the Sexiest Man Alive in 2003 and 2009 — are running the photos of Amber Heard’s bruises boggles my mind. It’s getting harder and harder for Depp diehards to defend him — not that that’s stopped them.

–Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris have split after 15 months of dating. Cue lots of dumb headlines about how she’s going to have lots of material for her next album…

-Director John Carney has apologized for slamming Keira Knightley and I’m actually really impressed with his statement. This isn’t the typical Hollywood “I’m sorry if you were offended” non-apology.

-I cannot wait to have enough time to watch THR’s comedy actor roundtable, which includes Aziz Ansari, Jerrod Carmichael, Tony Hale, Keegan-Michael Key, Rob Lowe, Anthony Anderson and Jeffrey Tambor.

-Meanwhile, the Tony actor roundtable is all “here’s a star of Hamilton plus six white dudes we found to talk about diversity on Broadway.”

-Rolling Stone has been fire with its covers lately — last month the yummy Oscar Isaac one, and now Lin-Manuel Miranda. (The short video of the Hamilton cast’s photo shoot is a delight also.)

–Hayley Atwell thinks there’s still hope for more Agent Carter. Don’t tease me!

-Speaking of comic shows, how much doo-doo do you think Willa Holland is in for calling out DC?

-Did Hailey Baldwin go from dating Justin Bieber to Drake? She’s going to run out of famous Canucks soon.

-Some good insider baseball-y TV stories came out today, including news that most networks are using live +7 days instead of the typical live + 3 days as their primary metric for upfront deals — and the future is live + 35 days!

-Less insider baseball-y is this great piece on how TV is killing off so many characters that death is losing its punch.

-Which leads into another great piece, this one rebuting yesterday’s ‘fandom is broken’ crapstorm. “This touches on some current trends of creators to create unimportant drama out of nonexistent hardships that have no narrative place in the story being told just because it seems more interesting when it reality it is laziness and complacency for the status quo rather than thoughtful art…Happy stories do not mean lazy writing.” Word.

–Ellen Pompeo is never, ever going to give up her Grey’s scrubs. Can’t say I blame her, tho.

–Megan Fox says her fetus told her to move, so she did. Ok, but if her unborn baby is so smart, shouldn’t it have warned her against doing TMNT 2, which is currently sitting at 17% on RottenTomatoes?

–Jena Malone named her baby Ode Mountain DeLorenzo Malone, which is both hilarious and unsurprising in the least.

-The woman who directed The Night Manager (which I just binged and loved) is reportedly on the shortlist to direct the next Bond film.

–Nicholas Hoult turns to drug smuggling to save Felicity Jones in the new trailer for Collide.
