Dakota Johnson Denies Relationship Rumours in Marie Claire

dakota-johnson-marie-claire

–Dakota Johnson looks lovely on the cover of Marie Claire, which totally makes up for the dress she wore to the How to Be Single premiere. In the cover story, she says she’s single and shoots down those relationship rumours surrounding her and Matthew Hitt.

-Speaking of premiere dresses, Jennifer Aniston has rarely topped any of my best dressed lists to begin with, but what the hell happened to her in the last year? Did she get a new stylist? And does that stylist hate her?

–Blair Underwood has signed on to star on one of The Good Wife’s final 9 episodes. That’s all well and good, but I wish they’d remember all the actors they had that just mysteriously disappeared. Remember Taye Diggs? Amanda Peet? The girl who played Robyn?!?

-The Flash ratings hit a 14-month high this week, which is awesome because I was starting to wonder if I should drop that show and last night’s episode totally turned it around. I mean, Barry was still a selfish asshat but whatever.

–Kate Winslet says she won’t boycott the Oscars because she “just couldn’t imagine not being there to support” Leonardo DiCaprio, which is actually pretty damn sweet.

-Guys, Idris Elba may be single! This is not a drill!!!
-People has named Ryan Reynolds The Sexiest Dad Alive. Ok, People. Now you’re just making shit up.

-Meanwhile, Ryan says fell in love with Blake Lively — while on a double date with someone else. Rude!

-AMC made the first four minutes of Sunday’s Walking Dead mid-season premiere available now. I’m not getting sucked back in, I’m not getting sucked back in, I’m not getting sucked back in…

–Aaron Sorkin is adapting To Kill A Mockingbird for Broadway and Twitter reacted accordingly.

–Will Smith is worried that he and Jada may have been a little too hands-off with their parenting style. Gee, ya think?

–Melissa McCarthy raps her favorite Kanye West song in her SNL promos.

–Rory’s best boyfriend is officially returning for the Gilmore Girls reboot. Woot!

–Hayley Atwell just landed the lead in a new ABC legal drama, which doesn’t bode well for Agent Carter’s chances. Yes, it’s not unheard of for an actor to book a pilot when they’re not sure if their existing show will be renewed, but the fact that it’s on the same network makes me think TPTB have already made a decision.

-A film producer spent the afternoon tweeting out terrible descriptions for female characters in scripts, and it was glorious.

-Also glorious: the season 3 trailer for Broad City.

-Wait, so Batman V Superman has to make $1 billion globally to be considered a success? Ruh-roh.

–Tom Hiddleston strips naked in the new trailer for High-Rise and you’re not even paying attention to anything else I’m typing are you so I can just type random words at this point sausages petticoat tupperware pizza dildo ankle

Helen Mirren on Talks Gambling and Guys

Helen Mirren for L’Oreal

-When Helen Mirren tells you how you can be just like Helen Mirren, you drop everything (which, in my case, was a half a bag of Cheetos) and LISTEN. Her advice: be on time, don’t whine, and go to the races. Oh, and don’t let a guy put his arm around you.  “It annoys me when I see men with an arm slung round their girlfriend’s shoulders. It’s like ownership. Of course, when you’re young, you want the guy to take your hand and look after you. But when I see girls being leaned on, I want to say, ‘Tell him to get his damned arm off your shoulder.'”

–Ariana Grande‘s impressions of pop singers are actually surprisingly great. But why isn’t she opening her eyes?

–Matt Damon apologized for those tone deaf diversity comments, but his apology was pretty weaksauce. Why did he have to same “some people”? Just “people” would have been swell. And claiming that his comments were taken out of context is pretty rich, considering it’s his show and he should theoretically have full control over what airs.

-In other celebrity backtracking news, Emilia Clarke has clarified her comments about onscreen nudity, saying she is “always in control” on Game of Thrones.

-Speaking of GoT, Kit Harington has finally changed his tune about the show. Shocker.

-So Liam Hemsworth was being kind of a dick at TIFF? It’s ok, guys. I met Liam’s Danish doppleganger earlier this week and he’s a goddamn delight. He’s already by second favourite Hemsworth.

-Has there ever been a more appropriate use of Robin Thicke than James Corden‘s “Lay It On Thicke” segment? (Spoiler alert: there hasn’t.)

-This is pretty astonishing: an actor from The League admitted he made up his story about escaping 9/11. His costars are tweeting their support.

-Someone created an all-female version of the late night hosts Vanity Fair photo and I want to get a mortgage on it so I can live in that photo forever.

-Ian Somerhalder didn’t actually profess his love for Nina Dobrev on Twitter; he was just hacked.

-NBC still has reboot fever. They’re now planning to remake Hart To Hart centered around a gay couple.

–Jake Gyllenhaal sent a message to cake thief Amy Schumer on Stephen Colbert‘s show last night.  Sigh. Full flirt Jake is my favourite Jake of all.

–John Mellencamp has moved on from Meg Ryan to Christie Brinkley. Moral of this story: John Mellencamp can still get it.

-I still think Fear The Walking Dead is a bullshit show, but this defense of it is pretty great.

–Drake was pissed because the DJ at Serena Williams’s fashion show played the explicit version of his song instead of the clean one.

-Why ya gotta trash talk Jason Statham, Paul Bettany?

–Hayley Atwell and James D’Arcy just took the Dubsmash war to the next level by recruiting Stan Lee for round 2.

–Jessica Biel is launching an online sex-ed series. Yup.

-Hollywood insiders picked the 100 best TV shows, proving that Hollywood insiders are kind of lame.

-You can now watch The Mindy Project in Canada (and you should. The season premiere features the line “It’s like I’m in 13 Going on 30 — but I’m still 26!”)

-Also, Mindy Kaling believes in couples on TV. I hope she’s right. It seems like every show I watch right now is putting together the main couple, and the thing that freaks me out about that is if/when they ever break up, it always seems like the writers immediately start destroying the female character (probably so we don’t resent the guy for not being with her). Though I guess Mindy doesn’t have to worry about that, since she IS the writer.

–David Blaine astounds Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul and Jada Pinkett-Smith in his new video.

-The new Creed trailer is pretty damn great.

Tatiana Maslany Finally Scores an Emmy Nom

-This morning’s Emmy nominations were frustrating, but not nearly as frustrating as usual. There were some great surprises (Tatiana Maslany, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Better Call Saul, Transparent, Tituss Burgess), and despite some terrible snubs (Jane the Virgin, The Americans), there were also some very welcome snubs, including no Julianna Margulies and no Big Bang Theory. (Now if we could just all collectively agree to let go of Modern Family, House of Cards and Downton Abbey…).

-Check out the collection of amazingly talented women in the lead comedy actress and lead limited series actress categories, all past their “Last F*ckable Day.”

–Nicole Kidman‘s terrible TV movie Grace of Monaco was nominated for an Emmy, and the Internet reacted accordingly.

-Also, Tatiana Maslany and Amy Schumer‘s tweet exchange was v. cute.

–Amy‘s appearance on The Tonight Show was hilarious, whether she was talking about harassing Bradley Cooper, prank-texting Katie Couric about anal sex, and having an emotional conversation with Jimmy Fallon.

-Sienna Miller and Tom Sturridge, who we all forgot were engaged, have ended said engagement.

–Hayley Atwell posted another amazing DubSmash with Chris Evans, and it’s even better than the last. I’m dying.

-This interview with the cast of Bob’s Burgers was my favourite of all of the ones that came out of Comic-Con.

-I didn’t watch the ESPY Awards (’cause sports scare me), but Joel McHale’s opening monologue was gold.

–Ben Affleck wore his ring at the ESPYs. Because of his kids, of course.

-Good on Emma Stone for not shying away from talking about Aloha’s whitewashing.

-Clear eyes, full heart? Not so much. Peter Berg slammed Caitlyn Jenner’s ESPYs Award, reminding me why I always end up hugging my FNL DVDs and sobbing whenever I read about this guy….

-EW just released the first X-Men: Apocalypse photos, and Twitter is NOT into it.

-It looks like Amber Heard is taking the fall for Johnny Depp‘s doggate. She’s been charged with smuggling.

–George Clooney may be selling his Italian and Mexican getaways, but don’t feel too bad for him. He’s buying a private island near London.

-I love that Ezra Miller, who’ll play The Flash on film, is so full of praise for the TV show  (“I’m not avoiding it at all. I think it’s awesome”) but man, I don’t think I’ve ever made it through a whole interview with him without wanting to punch him and/or call a crisis hotline on his behalf.

–Tom Hardy and Tom Hardy play real-life twin gangsters in this new Legend trailer.

-Speaking of trailers, I really want to like Pan because Hugh Jackman and Greg Berlanti seem like the nicest dudes in Hollywood, but I’m not sold yet.
