mariah-carey-complex

Mariah Carey is posing hard on the cover of Complex magazine, in which she talks about her divorce from Nick Cannon and continues to try to convince us that she’ll eventually marry James Packer.

-A man slapped Justin Timberlake in the face at a celebrity golf tourney. We’ve all been there, sir.

-This interview with the drunken cast of The Vampire Diaries is a mess. I love it.

-This is a fascinating look inside the troubled production of Baz Luhrmann‘s The Get Down, Netflix’s most expensive series to date ($120 million!!!).  Lexi Alexander tweeted about this story with the frog sipping tea, so now my curiosity is peaked!

Mila Kunis tried to explain the plot of Jupiter Ascending and failed miserably.

-Guys, what happened to UnREAL? Like, really. Last night’s episode was even messier than last week’s. On the plus side, I’m happy for the Extra Hot Great podcast because they now have another “she’s a reporter willing to sleep around to get the scoop!” trope to skewer.

-This is really, really interesting stuff: a writer/producer of The 100 (and a bunch of other shows) has released a bunch of his TV pitches, scripts and outlines for download to help young writers see how they are done.

Demi Lovato’s DNC performance was hella awkward, according to these GIFs.

-Speaking of the DNC, it resulted in an emergency edition of Shade Court on Jezebel!

-Excellent casting news! Hamilton’s Renée Elise Goldsberry will play Henrietta Lacks in HBO’s film adaptation of Immortal Life. a fascinating book.

Matt Damon and Jimmy Kimmel went to ‘court-ordered’ couples counseling last night.

-In other late night clips, Allison Janney was a delight on Colbert.

Pine. Evans. Hemsworth. Who is winning The Chris Wars? The Ringer investigates.

Dr. Dre was handcuffed and cited outside his Malibu home after he was accused of pointing a gun at a guy who was blocking his driveway.

-Replacing family photos at your mom’s house with ones of Steve Buscemi might be the best idea ever.

-I really liked this article on how Taylor Swift needs protection from online trolls — but so do the rest of us.

-Today’s TIFF announcement has me stoked for this year’s fest, especially Catfight, La La Land, Manchester By the Sea, and Snowden. I’m really surprised Girl on a Train and Ang Lee’s Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk weren’t included, though.

-Meanwhile, The Girl On The Train got a steamy new trailer.

Anna Gunn goes ballistic on a mansplainer in a new clip from Equity Film.

-Despite all the trailers that dropped this week because of SDCC, the Trainspotting one is the only one that made me squeal.

-The Office Christmas Party trailer stars Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman and oh, a little someone by the name of KATE MCKINNON!

Helen Mirren on Talks Gambling and Guys

-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 StathamPaul 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.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner Stand United

-Well, it didn’t take Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck long to call the paps in for reinforcements. They’re presenting a united front with family photos amidst all the breakup rumours. Meanwhile, it’s now open season on blind items, while the New York Daily News is claiming they’re leading separate lives and Gawker is debating when the most PR-friendly time for them to announce their split.

Sarah Michelle Gellar and  Selma Blair reenacted their Cruel Intentions kiss last night, while Reese Witherspoon sang “Torn.”  So basically, it was the best night ever.

-I fully realize how sucky it must be to be famous and get photographed all the time, but there’s something really weird about the way Ian Somerhalder is begging fans not to take pics of him in this video. Is there not a better way to handle it? It seems like it would have taken less time to just shake some hands and pose a couple of times.

-As dark as Hannibal is, at least show creator Bryan Fuller has a ban on telling rape stories.

Matthew Weiner considered bringing Sal back for the final season of Mad Men, which I would have luvved.

Emma Stone says Bill Murray cheered her up on the set of Aloha by bringing her little gifts every day. He’s going to have to send her a GIANT present after she reads all the reviews.

–Despite how terrible Aloha sounds, I really liked this interview with Cameron Crowe, in which he takes us on a musical tour through his filmography.

-Sony is considering yanking their artists off of Tidal. You know who’s on Sony? Beyonce. How embarrassing would it be for Jay Z if his own wife’s music was pulled from his much-hyped service?

-I love this story about jargon that TV writers use, though I always thought “Hanging a Lantern” was called “Hanging a Lampshade.” Whatever it’s called, Buffy used to do it a lot, and it was hilarious.

-Here’s the first promo for Trevor Noah’s new Daily Show.

-This new Jurassic World clip stars Jake Johnson and Lauren Lapkus, automatically making it my favourite clip to come out yet.
