Brad Pitt Gets the Spotlight at Frank Ocean Concert

–Brad Pitt made a surprise appearance at Frank Ocean’s concert and I have SO MANY QUESTIONS. (Was this a statement? Art? Did he even know he was on screen? Somebody tell me!!)

-I didn’t understand Ayra‘s “that’s not you” line to her direwolf on GoT last night but now that I read the explanation I’m crying.

-Sorry, One Direction fans: Louis Tomlinson has shut down rumors of a romance with Harry Styles.

–Lena Dunham referred to Jack Antonoff’s sibling as her “sister-in-law” on Instagram, and then had to deny speculation that she got married.

-I really, really liked this thread responding to Christopher Nolan‘s Netflix comments.

-I guess this is Kevin Hart’s response to those cheating allegations?

-Girls Trip (which I liked A LOT) had the biggest opening weekend for a live-action comedy this year despite its R rating, and already earned back what it cost to make. Add the fact that Wonder Woman and Beauty and the Beast are the year’s top-grossing films so far, and the box office is looking downright rosy for women-led flicks.

-The “friend from work” line in Thor: Ragnarok (aka – the best line in the entire trailer) was actually pitched by a Make-a-Wish kid who was visiting the set the day they shot that scene.

-In news that came out of ComicCon, Michelle Pfeiffer is joining the Ant Man sequel, Patty Jenkins has weirdly not signed on to Wonder Woman 2 yet, Henry Cavill’s mustache is causing problems for Justice League, and Ben Affleck insists WB isn’t replacing him (“‘We want you to be the Batman’ they told me, and I believe them.”) Also, I would *love* to know which TV cast was yelling at each other before their TV Line interview.

-Speaking of TV casts behaving badly at the con, the Supergirl crew really stepped in it while doing a musical recap of their season, in which they mocked fans who ship Kara and Lena.  I still need to catch up on that show, but this seemed incredibly mean-spirited. Who cares if the writers will never have Supergirl hook up with a woman onscreen? Let people watch for whatever reason they like and/or hope for whatever outcome they want.  The fact that they were mocking a marginalized group that has really embraced that show made it even worse. The cast’s apologies were not great (gotta love the “I’m sorry but think about ME” tactic).  Jeremy Jordan‘s first note was especially victim-y, but at least he got it right on the second try.

-Everyone is talking about this adorable video of the little girl crying over the Justice League cast, but I like this video of Jason Momoa meeting the little kid who asked about Superman during the panel.

-So much trailer goodies dropped at ComicCon this weekend. On the TV side, we got trailers for the new seasons of Stranger Things, The Flash, Arrow, Supergirl, Doctor Who’s xmas special, Legends of Tomorrow, Westworld, Lucifer, Once Upon a Time, Preacher, and The Defenders.

-On the movie side, we got Justice League, Thor: Ragnaraok, Black Panther, and Spielberg‘s Ready Player One. (Also, this video of the Black Panther cast reacting to seeing the trailer for their first time is pretty swell.)

Emilia Clarke Says She’s “Photoshopped and Drunk” on Esquire Cover

–Emilia Clarke says she was “photoshopped and drunk” during her Esquire cover shoot. The Photoshopped part was pretty obvious. I could barely recognize her.

-Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner does a pretty mean Jon Snow impression. Her Professor X impression could use some work, though.

–Is Colin Farrell the reason Kirsten Dunst reportedly broke up with her boyfriend of four years Garrett Hedlund? I’m doubtful, but if true, she really needs to read the memoir his ex Emma Forrest wrote. Seriously gurl, read it!

-The fact that Michael Buble is being mercilessly mocked for the gross way he eats corn makes me way happier than it probably should.

-Prayer circle time, y’all. Prince has reportedly been hospitalized after an emergency landing in Illinois.

-Tough crowd. Jennifer Aniston was reportedly booed when she showed up late to the premiere of Mother’s Day. That’s seems like an overreaction. I’m sure she was only a little … wait… what’s that? She showed up an hour late? Never mind. Resume booing.

-I know celebrity pregnancy news comes in threes, but I’m super side-eying this report about Katie Holmes expecting with Jamie Foxx.

-Vulture’s piece examining why Hollywood keeps disrespecting Melissa McCarthy is so, so good. Why is everyone whining about how she needs a new agent instead of lining up to work with her? (I take issue with the notion that she surfaced out of nowhere, though — 7 seasons on the Gilmore Girls is a lot of exposure.)

-Sad news: Aisha Tyler and husband are divorcing after more than 20 years of marriage. She the bestest human ever and deserves a life filled with only happiness, rainbows and chocolate sprinkles.

-Jesus Christ. Did grown ass man Henry Cavill really give his 19-year-old girlfriend a promise ring? I was worried she would be too immature for him. Not anymore.

-The Ghost in the Shell producers are really leaning into the crapstorm. They reportedly ran VFX tests to make white actors appear Asian.

-MTV’s ‘delete you account‘ column is my new favourite thing. Erykah Badu wasn’t surprising but Parker Posey broke my heart a lil’ bit.

-Here’s a trailer for Mr Robot’s season two. I want it now!!

-This video of Paul Rudd getting excited when he heard his name being called by a kid is the best thing ever.

-The second best thing ever is this video of Stephen Amell correctly identifying photos of celebrity abs. It went from being impressive to being kind of scary. “That’s a before shot of Michael B Jordan.” Dude, let’s be friends. I think we share a lot of common interests….

–Drake joined Rihanna onstage during her performance in Toronto last night.

-Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’s second season is now on Netflix, and critics are saying it feels more like 30 Rock. Sign me up!

-Following news that Louis C.K.‘s experimental web drama Horace and Pete put him millions of dollars in debt, here’s an interesting examination of TV’s modern business models and the worth of art.

-I mean, I’m seeing this Nine Lives trailer and yet I still can’t quite bring myself to fully believe that Kevin Spacey plays a talking cat.

-This story about how a movie critic once pooped his pants while waiting to talk to James Cameron about Avatar might be the best thing I’ve read all week.

-A clothing company is claiming Beyonce didn’t give them enough credit in her Elle photo spread. Isn’t that the magazine’s job?

-Here’s the trailer for Nate Parker‘s eagerly awaited The Birth of a Nation, which set a record at the Sundance Film Festival when it was sold for $17.5 million.

Jennifer Aniston Talks Movies and Marriage in Harper’s Bazaar

jennifer-aniston-harpers-bazaar

–Jennifer Aniston says she “bows her head in slight shame” over some of her movie choices. We do too, Jen.

-In her New York Times profile, Gwen Stefani is the trolliest of trolls, calling her split from Gavin Rossdale “a really good, juicy story.” She adds: “If I could, I would just tell you everything, and you would just be in shock.” Gurl, you need to spill or get off the PR pot.

–Blake Lively wore a bathrobe to the White House. But it was a fancy bathrobe, so there’s that.

-Everyone is giving Henry Cavill shit for this interview for saying, “I’m not just doing this for the art. The money’s fantastic.” That’s some refreshing honest soundbiting. It’s not like dude’s doing Shakespeare.

–Gwyneth Paltrow shared her tips for wellness on the road, including this totally down-to-earth gem: “When I fly, I try to find a sauna to sit in for 20 minutes to help me sweat out all the germs from the plane.”

–Jessica Alba’s Honest Company is in trouble again, this time for allegedly not being honest about the chemicals in her laundry detergent.

–Tim Burton just announced Beetlejuice 2 and I’m cautiously optimistic because I’m a sucker.

–Diane Kruger gave an interview in which she implied that she recently moved in with Joshua Jackson, her boyfriend of 10 years. There’s also some talk about marriage. BUT THEN she posted on Instagram  “Unfortunately, the interview is completely misleading on some issues.” I give up.

-The Guardian’s secret actress column lost me with her latest assertion that Netflix has ushered in gender equality. Yeah, no.

-The CW just granted early renewals to ALL of it’s shows, including the little-watched Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (yay!) and Reign (I literally had no idea that was still on). Basically, they just became the first broadcast network to look at traditional ratings and be like:

-Speaking of The CW, there is some kind of fan event happening right now with the cast of The 100, and all of the stars are badmouthing the showrunner, which the fans are live-tweeting. Hilarious.

-Gotham costars Ben McKenzie and Morena Baccarin have welcomed a baby girl. Wait, Ben’s real last name is Schenkkan?!

–Jason Katims, who did Friday Night Lights and Parenthood, is casting his new show. But why oh why is it on CBS?

–Stephen Colbert is getting a lot of action this week. First he kissed Helen Mirren, then he serenaded Anna Kendrick.

-Well, this is terrifying. Rebel Wilson thinks she was drugged at a “trendy” unnamed club.

–Tom Hanks is looking for answers in the trailer for A Hologram for the King.
